/WITHIN THE TOWN.

\@Kne electric lights continue to burn
Regularly and give entire satisfaction
to business and home consumers.
The cold snap Of the past few days
has been making more work for Plumb
er Rawls.
The Baptist Sunday-school voted
last Sunday to appropriate SIS to De
contributed to the India Orphan Re-
lief Fund.
l>Tfe flags floating over the K. M. M.
"a. barracks. and over the Graded
school, help to indicate to passengers
on the passing trains that the town is
of considerable importance.
@superintendent Jones complains
THAT the Graded school has no Web
ster's unabridged dictionary. Several
of the more progressive country schools
are able to boast of this indispensable
possession.
Many local business houses are
having the card Of the Kings Mount
ain Military academy printed on the
backs Of their envelopes, and every
body is pulling for the K. M. M. A.
The school is undoubtedly without a
superior in it's class.
/ -Tlsere was quite large crowd out
bf the court house last Saturday night
to hear DR.. James P. Kinard tell Of his
Tour through Europe" The lecture
was well prepared, and was interesting,
even without the pictures, although the
pictures helped the story considerably.
The audience was very much pleased.
Wp:J. @. Wray, who now has the
general management Of the Yorkville
Roller mill, is completing his arrange
ments to improve the quality Of the
flour turned out and he says he is 60
ing to make this establishment much
more convenient and valuable institu-
has a good idea of what it takes to
please and he may be depended upon
to carry out his plans.
The local merchants are beginning
to lay in their stocks Of fertilizers for
the spring trade and most Of them are
looking for more extensive business
than for several years past. There has
been no special complaint about the
price this year. Although the price is
higher, the usual argument against
that condition Is lacking, the price Of
cotton being higher than at anytime
since the first agitation of the fertil-
izer question.
1.-THE Man in the Case" a very
L6musing three-act comedy, is to be
presented in the opera house next Fri
day night, by the Bon-Ton Dramatic
club, Of Yorkville, the proceeds to be
for the benefit Of the Coward Literary
society, of the x. M. M. A. The clu"
has been rehearsing the comedy for
sometime past under the direction of
Mrs. R. T. Stephenson, who has had
the management Of previous presenta-
tions Of the piece, and that the presen-
tation will be an admirable one, goes
without saying.
AS was naturally to be expected, the
unprecedented rise in the price Of cot
ton in New York on Monday, created
more or less excitement locally. The
unintiated took the break to mean the
final realization of the high prices that
many have been looking for all along;
and were unable to see why local buy
ers could not give as much as 10 cents
here, when the price was above IL In
New York. Some of the local men
were unable to refrain from giving ex-
preston to what they might have
DONE" and altogether the incident
caused quite furry.

THE resolution extending the time for

THE bill to repeal the lien law has
been killed, and the people Of the state
may as we'll make up their minds to the
fact that the lien law is with us to

7EsrEcIALLY because it involved fair
fest of the Negro labor question, the
failure Of the Vesta cotton mill, in
Charleston, is a matter of more than
ordinary interest. The Vesta mill used
Negro labor for the reason that it was
impossible to get as much white labor
as was required. The ability Of Mr..
John H. Montgomery as a mill man is
unquestioned, and no one will doubt
the sincerity Of his effort to make the
Vesta mill property pay dividends. 1t
must be admitted that the past six or
eight months have not been the very
best in the history of the mill business;
but so far as we know, the Vesta mill
is the only one that has been embar-
rassed solely because of inefficient la
Dor. 1t had, and still has, plenty of
capital, and there is nothing in the
way of it's continued operation except
the certainty Of losing money because
Of the inefficient labor. The success of
the mill under the circumstances would
have wrought very considerable inhu-
ence on the labor question throughout
the South, and we believe that the ef-
feet would have been harmful, rather
than beneficial. Anyhow, the threat
ened problem now seems to have dis
appeared, and in it's new location ev-
erybody can afford to wish the Vesta
a full measure of success.

THE attitude of the house toward the
concealed weapon question. as indica
ted by the debate of last Saturday, is
gratifying rather than otherwise. That
the house bill will become a law as it
passed to a third reading, of course,
is not at all probable. Members of the
house have no doubt already seen the
clumsy shape it presents, and they
realize that it's effectiveness would be

THE Columbia State has information
that South Carolina congressman are
writing to their legislative friends not
to take any action at the present ses-
sion of the general assembly looking to
the redistricting Of the state. Notwith-
standing the act Of congress, which re &.
quires that congressional districts be
made up not only OF contiguous, but Of
compact territory, it is quite probable
that there will be no serious compli-
cations in the event the legislature
fails to redistrict at this term. 1t
would seem, however, that if we will
have to redistrict at all, the sooner the
thing is done the better. If it is done
at this session, then the present men,
bers of congress will have nearly two
years to cultivate their new fields be-
fore they are required to stand for re-
election. We see no very good reason
why redistricting should be postponed.
