THE MILLER SCHOOL MUDDLE.

The contention over the question as
to who is to teach the Miller school
stands very much the same as when
the account published in the last issue
of THE ENQUIRER was written, except
that subsequent developments have
clarified the issue somewhat.
Miss Florence Cody, who had ac-
cepted an appointment as teacher OF
the school, without knowledge of the
unpleasant condition Of affairs then
existing, has resigned the position
Had she known how matters stood at
the time the position was rendered to
her, she would not, Of course, have ac-
cepted.
The withdrawal of Miss Cody, and the
fact that Miss Gettys, the only claim
ant of the position, is now backed by
practically all Of the patrons, the trus-
tees are disposed to think that the
seeming unanimity of the patrons Is
more apparent than real and they are
not yet satisfied.
Magistrate Barron refused to have
the ejectment papers previously refer
red to, served without an indemnity
bond. The bond was not Forthcoming
at once, and the reporter was advised
yesterday that the trustees would hold
a meeting during the afternoon to give
the subject further consideration, and
either furnish the bond or stop the pro-
ceedings.
The appeal Of the patrons to the
county board to sustain them in the Sc
lection of a teacher is still in the hands
Of Superintendent of Education Car
roll. He has not yet called meeting
of the board but will do so as soon as
practicable.

PATRONS MEETINGS.

Speaking of the pending friction be-
tween the trustees and the patrons OF
the Miller school, the other day, gen.
tleman who is very we'll informed as to
all the details relating to the public
school system; but who would be re-
luctant to have his name mixed up
with this or any similar quarrel, said
to the reporter:
However perfect the public school
system may be theoretically, 1t is far
from perfect. Indeed, I would say that
throughout the county and state there
is more pickering and contention on
account of public schools than grow out
of all the other departments Of the
government put together. Maybe I
would be school trustee again If
had to be; but I do not want the job,
and I would not be county superin-
tendent of education for twice the sal
airy. That is, do not think would.
ut has been my observation and eX-
perience that a school row can be
started under the most trivial Of cir
cumstances. Sometime it has its orr
gin in the personal differences Of two
men: sometimes 1t Is a development
of ill-feeling between families; some
times 1t Is based on legitimate differ
ence Of opinion. The two first named
causes, however, are more general and
troublesome; the last named cause

TO STRENGTHEN THE BRIDGE.
Fort Mill People Have an Iden That
They Think Is Good.

Editor Enquirer: Having seen adver-
tisement of letting contract to repair
the county bridge across Catawba riv-
er, some of our people naturally fell to
discussing plans for that work. Seve-
raj prominent citizens came to a con-
clusion as follows: The bottom of the
river above the bridge is abundant in
stationary rock. We thought best to
suggest to county commissioners that
money could be saved by anchoring one
end of a guy rod or cable some dis
tance up stream and attaching the 9TH
er end to the swayed portion of the
bridge. This rod being provided with
swivel and screw, the bridge could
be pulled back to it's original position,
or far enough to nearly straighten it.
and kept there securely. This plan has
the approval of our leading contra ctor,
our bank president and a number of
other citizens.
Very respectfully,
SAM F. MASSEY.

THE SHERIFF WAS UGLY.

John Lindsay, the Negro who killed
Will Jackson. another Negro, at Beth
ell on May q, last. is in JAIL Sheriff
Logan having brought him down from
Newton. n C., last Tuesday evening.
The killing of Jackson grew out of a
quarrel between the deceased and
Lindsay. The two men had words in
Glenn & Riddles store. at Bethel. Af-
ter jawing each other little. they
went outside and presently shots were
heard. Lindsay came back into the
store badly wounded. and Jackson was
found dead at the scene of thel shoot
ing.
No special effort was made to detain
Lindsay, and he took himself away,
and succeeded in losing himself COM

THE YoRKvILLE ENQUIRER says: DIR.
J. F. Ensor is no doubt good man
and competent postmaster; but there
was a time when he was held up be-
fore the white people of the state as a
disreputable renegade by the very peo-
pie who are now endorsing and forti-
flying him against any and all supposed
suggestions Of Senator McLaurin."
Our esteemed contemporary must be
mistaken in regard to DR.. Ensor being
denouncedasa "disreputable renegade" "
at any time during his residence in this
state, which covers the past 95 years.
He was certainly held in good esteem
when in charge of the lunatic asylum,
and hundreds of people who had un-
fortunate friends and relatives there
will testify to his fidelity and excellent
management of the institution under
difficult surroundings. THE ENQUIRER
would find it rather hard to produce
the proof that DR.. Ensor has ever been
inimical to the white people of the
state, Notwithstanding he is straight
and uncompromising Republican. His
personal or official conduct was never
offensive to the people of Columbia,
and it is not right that he should be
StigmatiZed as under the ban of dis
l'epute upon mere SuppoSition. THE
ENQUIRER is usually careful news
paper, but in this instance has allowed
its zeal to outrun it's discretion

If THE ENQUIRER has said, intimated
ar desired it's readers to understand
that it knows anything that is deroga-
tory to the personal or political char

acter of DR.. Ensor, it Is not aware OF
the fact. There is nothing more abb
horrent to the general principles of
this paper than the idea of attempting
to create unreasonable prejudice
against anybody or anything. We pre-
fer to be understood as standing for
libera!ity and breadth. 1t is histori-
cal fact, however, that at one time one
Daniel H. Chamberlain, then a Repub-
lican, but since a Democrat, was look
ed upon and denounced in South Caro-
lima as a disreputable renegade and
that DR.. Ensor was commonly consid-
cred as one of his pals" That we
shared in the general prejudice we do
not deny, nor do we deny that we still
entertain a partiality for things Demo-
cratic over things Republican. How
ever, as we have said, we admire
breadth and liberality in all things,
and under some circumstances, we
might be constrained to commend this
warming up Of the people of Columbia
to DR.. Ensor. If we believed it came
about through an honest change Of
heart rather than through selfish de-
sire to rule or ruin, we would at least
have respect for it. But satisfied as we
are that it all arises out Of more or
less personal conspiracy against Sena-
tor McLaurin, we have no patience
with it. OF course, if these blindly par
tizan Columbians, who are so earnest
ly petitioning a Republican president In
behalf Of a Republican want to go a
little further and give their allegiance
to the party, we have no objection; but
when such proceedings as these win
the approval Of former state chair
man Of the Democratic party, we re-
serve the right to exclaim again as we
have exclaimed before, What strange
bedfellows politics do sometimes
make"

markable faculty Of keeping track Of
such fellows, located him in Catawba
county, n. c., and reported the matter
to Sheriff Logan.
Sheriff Logan wrote to Sheriff Black
welder at Newton, advising him Of the
whereabouts of Lindsay, the crime for
which the fellow was wanted, explain
ed that there was no reward, but re-
quested the arrest of the fugitive, with
the assurance that all legitimate ex-
penses would be bourne at this end of
the line.
After due time, the Newton authori-
ties advised Sheriff Logan that they
had the prisoner, who was willing to
come back to South Carolina without
requisition, and suggesting that the
sheriff send a man for him. The sher-
If sent Magistrate S. N. Johnson, but
upon Mr.. Johnson's arrival, Sheriff
Blackwelder demanded a reward Of
S25; and when Mr.. Johnson refused to
pay that, or any other amount except
legitimate expenses. the North Carolina
official talked ugly, even intimating
that before he would give Lindsay up
fellow loose.
AS the next step, Sheriff Logan laid
the whole matter before Governor Nc
Sweeney, secured a requisition on the
governor Of North Carolina for Lind
say, and armed with these papers he
left last Saturday for Raleigh. The
governor of North Carolina honored
the papers without question. and the
sheriff proceeded at once to Newton.
Sheriff Blackwelder was at home;
but in view Of the way he had acted
deal with Sheriff Logan. He claimed
that he had to go Raleigh with some
prisoners. and referred Sheriff Logan
to his attorney" He was in a hack
at the time, as il ready to start away;
but he did not really leave until seve-
raj hours later. His legitimate ex-
penses in connection with the whole
matter, not including S., alleged to
have been promised to a. physician for
locating Lindsay, amounted to $3.50,
and this amount Sheriff Logan paid
without question.
THE whole thing has cost us consid-
erably more than it would If we had
paid the $25 in the first instance" said
Sheriff Logan to the reporter; "but
we could not afford to compromise the
matter. The demand for a reward was
not justified. and we could not afford
to vi" to 1t. We never think OF
charging anything except regular fees
and expenses in similar cases, and we
always try to give due regard to the
reasonable requirements of courtesy.
We like to see others follow the same
course"
Lindsay does not seem to be especial
ly worried over his arrest. He says
that the trouble between himself and
Jackson was about a woman, and that
he killed Jackson in self-defense. He
claims that both fired at about the
same time.

THE TAyORA MILLS.

The new owners Of the old Sutro
mill property, are arranging to go
ahead with the work Of reorganization
without any unnecessary delay. By
reference to the official notice in an
other column, 1t will be seen that the
books of subscription to the capital
stock of the Tavora Cotton Mills COM
pany, are to be opened in the Loan and
Savings bank on next Tuesday.
1t is the purpose Of the reorganizers
to capitalize the property at $4,000
The plant, as 1t stands, really repre-
sents considerably more than this sum;
but new machinery and working CAP
ital are needed, and for that reason
additional cash subscriptions are being
called for. For the purpose of reorgan-
ization, the present plant has been val
ued by the owners at $25, 900, and 1t Is
their purpose to put in cash so much of
the remaining $4,000 as may not be
subscribed by outsiders.
Speaking Of the property and its
prospects to the reporter few days
ago. a gentleman who has had long and
extensive experience in cotton mill in
vestments and who Is very much in
terested in the Tavora property, said:
II would not think of trying to ope-
rate the mill as it stands now, for do
not believe it can be made to pay. 1t
does not and cannot make anything
but hosiery yarns, and there Is but lit
tie demand for them at this time: but
with changes in the spinning, so as to
put the entire capacity Of the mill on
two-ply twisted yarns, it is a good
thing-as good thing as man Gould
want.
THE necessary changes can be made
at a comparatively small outlay. he
cause there Is really not much to do ex-
cept change part of the spinning.
The proposed changes will give us 1000
spindles, and If you will figure min
ute you can get an idea Of what we
have a right to expect.
Take 2-ply 30's as basis. I am told
that we ought easily to make 10000
pounds a month, and at a conservative
estimate, we can make and sell 1t at an
expense of cents pound. Cotton of
the kind we need Is today worth say 9
cents, and 30s, which are quoted at Is
cents. are really worth more; but say
they are worth only 18 cents. Add the
cotton and the expense of manufacture
ing, and we have 16 cents a pound as
the cost of putting goods on the mar
ket and that leaves a clear profit Of 2
GEMS a pound. That means $500 q
month or $4,000 a year, and $1,000 Is
only s400 short of 25 per cent on our
SAC. 900 Of capital. All these figures are
conservative, and think any mill man
will tell you so. A close analysis of
them will show that I have left quite
liberal margin for contingencies not
otherwise included"
