Mr.. w. H. Crook drove over to York
VILE Wednesday from Ranalesburg, N.
C. It was his first visit to Yorkville for
quite awhile. He came by the bridge,
of course, and it is a matter worthy
of note that ne Is the first individual
who has yet endorsed that institution
to the reporter without "but." Yes,

In securing the services Of Miss Rea
to manage their millinery department,
Messrs. Strauss & Co., have made
quite a good move. Miss Rea, besides
being most estimable young lady, Is
millinery artist Of unquestioned taste
and ability. She has had several years
experience in the millinery business In
this section and thoroughly under
stands the trade in all its require
ments. The many ladies all over the
county who have heretofore depended
upon her good taste, will no doubt be
delighted at the opportunity to avail
themselves Of it again.

CHEF Moore, of the United States
weather bureau, lost his reputation on
last Monday. He had undertaken on
Sunday to predict the Inauguration
weather that would obtain on Monday,
and after consultation with his entire
corps of assistants, he reported during
the afternoon to the presidents private
secretary. He represented: "The
weather tomorrow, Monday, March 4,
will be the finest ever experienced in
the inauguration Of president. The
sky surely will be clear, and the tenn
perature warm and balmy, a fit me-
neurological climax to the magnificent
work done by yourself and able assist
ants" Afterward Chief Moore said he
would stake his reputation upon the
correctness of his prediction; because 1t
was a matter of calculation rather than
guess work. There was a shower at
daybreak, Monday, the sun came out
at fitful intervals during the morning,
and from the commencement of the
Inauguration ceremonies at 1 o'clock,
until dark, the weather was wet, raw
and windy.

>pHE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

Y The county board Of commissioners,
consisting Of Supervisor Gordon and
Messrs. w. s. Wilkerson and D. G.
Stanton, held it's regular monthly meet
Ing in the office of the supervisor last
Wednesday and disposed Of the accu-
mulated business.
One Of the most important items was
the execution of note for $4,000 to the
Loan and Savings bank for cash with
which to pay current expenses. The
bank furnishes the money at per
cent. per annum.
Upon representation made by the
town council, the board agreed to per-
NIT the establishment Of pest camp
on the County Home farm. In view Of
the general opposition to the location
Of a pest camp, it was the opinion Of all
the officials, county and municipal,
who gave the matter consideration,
that the county land was the proper
place for such camp.
Attorney Brice reported that he had
written to President Barber, OF the Car
olina and North Western railroad,
about the $500 that MIR. Barber had
agreed to pay in the event Of his fail
ure to make the Carolina and North
Western a standard gauge by the spec
ified date since passed, and in reply
had received a request for a copy Of
the contract. The desired copy was
promptly furnished, and since then
nothing further has developed in re-
gard to the matter.
The members of the board discussed
at length the road question. It de-
yeloped that all three Of the commits
sioners are intensely interested In this
subject. Supervisor Gordon evinced a
determination to secure a better en-
forcement of the road laws If such a
thing be possible, and Commissioners
Wilkerson and Stanton heartily endors-
ed the supervisor, and assured him OF
their cooperation and support.
Discussion Of the situation developed
the fact that the public road system Is
not in as good condition as the board

THE Alabama legislature has followed
that of South Carolina in refusing to
interfere with infant labor practices Of
the textile manufacturers. Public SEN
timent down that way, however. will
not long tolerate the crushing OF the
lives Of the children, in order to main
tain a certain manufacturing advan-
tage over other sections of the country.
The newspapers of the South are be-
coming quite generally enlisted in the
agitation for the suppression OF scan
dal which touches Southern pride quite
as strongly as it appeals to the cupid
ity of an industrial claSs.-Sprtngheld
Republican.
There is in the child labor question
much that is not as it should be. Peo-
pie who are sincerely and deeply inter-
ested in the welfare Of their fellow-be-
ings, can find as much here that Is not
right as they can find almost any
where We do not believe that the So
cial and labor conditions Of the North
come nearly up to Southern standards.
We do not believe Southern factory
children are any worse off than thou
sands of working children, or children
of hard working parents North. We do
not believe their future is less bright.
We believe that there is in the North
plenty of work to keep all of the honestly
interested humanitarians busy We do
not see any reason why they should
seek to operate down South just yet.
We have more than once heard the
opinion expressed that New England
manufacturers would spend a million
dollars in the South if by so doing they
could have a reasonable hope Of dissat-
isfying cotton mill labor here. The
Springfield Republican is published in
the centre of Massachusetts, cotton fac
tories. If it should devote itself more
closely to its home affairs, then 1t
would not be open to such suspicion.

IN his inaugural address, last Mon
day, President Mckinley had the fol-
lowing to say of the disappearance of
sectionalism in the United States:
Strong hearts and helpful hands are
needed, and. fortunately, we have them
in every part Of our beloved country.
We are reunited. Sectionalism has dis
appeared. Division on public questions
can no longer be traced by the war
maps of 1861. These old differences
less and less disturb the judgment.
Existing problems demand the thought
and quicken the conscience OF the
country, and the responsibility for
their presence as we'll as for their
righteous settlements rests upon us all
no more upon me than upon you.
There are some national questions in
exclude partisanship. Magnifying their
difficulties will not take them off our
hands nor facilitate their adjustment.
Distrust of the capacity, integrity and
high purposes Of the American people
will not be an inspiring theme for fu-
ture political contests. Dark pictures
and gloomy forebodings are worse than
useless. These only becloud, they do
not help to point the way to safety
and honor. Hope maketh not asham-
ed" The prophets of evil were not the
builders of the republic, nor in it's crisis
since have they saved or served it. The
fathers was mighty force in its Gre
alton and the faith Of their descend
ants has wrought its progress and fur
nishes it's defenders.
While the above view of the situation
may not be literally correct, it Is graf
flying to note that the tendency is Ger
tainly in that direction.

MARIAN Ward Brown, Of Long Branch,
N. j., has just completed biography
Of Colonel Dan Rice, the world-famous
clown and Snowman. Colonel Rice was
before the public as a Snowman for
more than so years and in the old days
was an especial favorite throughout
the South. The biography just pub
lished contains 300 pages and is replete
with such a startling and varied series
of personal adventure and incidents of
a historical as we'll as histrionic char
acter, as to furnish additional evidence
that Truth is stranger than fiction" "
In short, it is most readable and In
structive book. 1t may be had Of the
publisher for $500.

government is everywhere apparent
and satisfaction with the form adopted
manifest. The reception Of the people
along the way and in the capitals was
most encouraging. Fragmentary cable
dispatches detailing small engage
ments, which are only the result Of the
increased activity Of the army after a
close wet season and effective policing
of the country, made possible by active
native cooperation, create wrong i'm
preston on the mind of the public as to
the probable continuation Of the war,
and as to conditions which have in
fact never been so favorable to the res
toration of complete peace and the ac-
complishments Of the declared purpose
of the president"

ALTHOUGH it would have been much
more satisfactory had congress seen fit
to appropriate $25O,OO for the Charles
ton exposition, it's failure to do so will
not seriously cripple the enterprise.
The money was not to have been used
except for the erection of government
building and the placing Of a govern
ment exhibit. These were very desira-
BILE; but the Charleston people have on
ly to put forth a little extra effort, and
they can make up for the loss in way
that will amply compensate them.

THE easiest and most effective known
way of reaching the buying public with
store news is by the publication of that
news in a paper that the people read.
People like to read store news; butthey
want to read it in the same papers
that they read for general news. The
readers of THE ENQUIRER are people
who are able and willing to give value
received for all they ask Of anybody.
They pay for THE ENQUIRER and they
expect to pay for other commodities
they buy. These are the people to
whom it pays to send interesting and
important store news.

JOHN E. Searles, former secretary of
the sugar trust and president Of the
American Cotton company, otherwise
the round bale trust, failed Tuesday for
81, 100000. He had large holdings in a
dozen different trusts. 1t is stated
that he will probably pay dollar for
dollar. Senator James K. Jones, Of Ar
kansas, who Is large stockholder in
the round bale trust, says the failure
will have no effect upon the affairs of
the American Cotton company more
than would the failure of any other in
dividual stockholders, which fact is
self-evident. That the American Cot
ton company is doing large business
is quite evident; but as to whether or
not it is yet on a paying basis is more
or less doubtful. Searles will probably
continue as president, at least for the
present.

were not aware Of the facts, 1t would
be justified in trying to teach Its read
ers otherwise. But neither The State
nor the exposition people have any
right to blame Senator McLaurin now.
AS to whether the senator could have
gotten the appropriation had he under
taken the management Of it, is, so far
as we are concerned, only matter OF
speculation; but whether he had sue
ceeded or not, we feel pretty sure that
he would never have been buncoed as
Senator Tillman and Congressman
Latimer seem to have been.

temporaries in throwing bouquets at

Home Made Whisky.

The state board of control Is consid-
ering applications from three distillery
corporations for permission to establish
distilleries in Columbia. The idea OF
the distillers is to manufacture whisky
for sale TO the state and for shipment

BY the way while we are cogitating
about the failure of the Charleston ex-
position appropriation, where was the
junior senator and his alleged powerful
influenced Is it not to be used for his
own state?-Columbia State.
This is characteristic. The State
knows full we'll that McLaurin's pow
erful influence" was not solicited. 1t
has become quite evident that the man.
ayers of the appropriation on the part
of the exposition not only ignored their
own Congressman Elliott, but also Sen
ator McLaurin; and it has been quite
clear all along that if the appropria-

and Congressman Latimer were to
get the credit, no matter who may

Clifford, sentenced for three years in
the Walla WaIla penitentiary, was
brought up from that institution Tues
day by Sheriff Mackay and will be held
at the county Jail until the case is set

two years ago. When brought to the
county jail, the prisoner was allowed the
freedom of the afternoon in the sheriff s
Office, but under guard. He says Pat
Dunnigan, sentenced for thirteen years

served his time, counting for good be-
baylor. Alfred Symes, in for IS years

A ROPE And A TRBE
St0ckmen Losing Patience With
Horse and Cattle Thieves.
Circulating a Call For Revival of
the Effective Stockmens' Pro-
tectiVe Association.

What seems to be an organized gang
OF stock thieves. with probable hiding
grounds on the Nez Perez reserve, are
operating in Whitman county.
The farmers and stockmen OF Tennes-
see fiat, north of Colfax, have risen in
arms and are circulating a call for the
revival of the old Stock growers Pro-
tective Association, which a few years
ago brought dozen or more horse and
cattle thieves to justice and broke up
the organizations of the rustlers. The
association was then allowed to lapse
for want of active work
The movers III the revival are earnest
and outspOken in the threat to resort to
the quick justice of the rope for proved
thieves. Horses are being stolen con
stantly within the past few months
from ranges, farms and livery barns.
The thieves have been so successful in
evading official inquiry that the stock
owners feel themselves justified in reviv-
ing the old association.
Two yearling colts have been stolen
within the past few days from James
McCrOskey and several head of j. F.
Davidson's horses have disappeared.
Half dozen other Tennessee fat horse
owners have also suffered.

"A Talk About Life Insurance

Having fully determined to take nm
NE insurance more actively than hereto
lore, and firmly believing that | repre-
sent the largest, best and strongest as
sociatlon in the world, (The Equitable
L Lhe Assurance Society of the United
oCates), have concluded to give the
puolic few facts about life insurance,
winch are worthy OF careful considera-
ton.
Ii you want life insurance, don't give
your applcatlOn to a stranger, but do
business with an agent who lives in YOUR
MIDST. lie may not be able to use as
lhuch noWery language as the average
stranger, but if he is q man of honor
ana integrity, he will not misrepresent
Things and the chances are, that instead
OF having fraud practiced upon you, you
VIII get Just what you bargain for, and
De perfectly satisfied with it.
L know OF any number of men in Whit
man county who bargained for a certain
policy which was deliberately explained.
ana because the premium of such policy
was higher than the agent thought he
could get, he would name the rate of his
cheapest policy, and furnish one in ac-
cordaAce with the premium rate agreed
upon. The result Is that the purchaser
OF the policy thinks he has something
that, upon investigation, he finds he has
not received. Do business with reputable
nome folks. In the first place, we are
dependent upon one another for our
ilying, and furthermore, if you do bust
ness with an honorable man at home, be
VIII deal fairy with you, and if at any
time you want an explanation of any
matter, you know who to go to. If you
were seriously ill, you would not trust
your lie with stranger who had no
established reputation as a physician;
nor would you go to some one whom
you did not know to be a competent
lawyer to defend an important lawsuit.
Then why trust such an important
matter as the insurance on your life to
some unprincipled stranger? | do not
mean to say that all strangers are I'M
prlnclpled, but many are. When a man
gets so rotten that he cannot do bust
ness at home where he is known, he gen.
orally takes new field. In conclusion,
When you take out life insurance, select
your company as you would a friend.
DO not select one which has no CAPT al
or surplus with which to meet it's obi
gatlons, but select an old, established,
well-tried company, with a frst-cass
reputation. In representing the Equit-
able, am able to furnish a better con-
tract than any other company, and one
that is worth your while to investigate.
have associated with me Mr.. Chas. H.
Larkin, whom | have known for the
past fifteen years and can fully endorse
as an honest, conscientious and reliable
man, who is an experienced life insur-
ance solicitor, and who will be glad to
explain any of the Equitable policies.
We issue all kinds of policies on life
assurance, and if you are at all interest
ed in Investigating any OF them, call at
my office or drop me a postal card, and
you will be called upon. Sincerely yours,
Geo. H. Lennox.
