The SHIP SUBSIDY BILL.

We do not profess to know a great
deal about the ship subsidy bill now
under consideration in the senate. We
have not had occasion to study the
subject very carefully, and our infor-
nation is limited to what we have read
in the newspapers and magazines.
Up to this time it has not been prac-
ticable to gather a very comDrehen-
sive view of the subject from any Of
our state exchanges. They have not
discussed the matter. Their utterances
have been confined to ill-tempered
filings that have appealed only to preju-
dice, and which have not served to en-
tighten anybody much one way or the
other.
1t is a well-known fact that the Unit
ed States is leading the world in many
lines of manufacture and commerce.
Within the past few years it has devel-
oped that this country is stronger fl
nancially than even England, herself.
All Europe Is growing alarmed at the
conceded supremacy Of this country.
About the only branch Of commerce in
which we are behind England is the
carrying trade. We are not only be-
hind England; but behind Germany,
France, Italy and several other ma
tions England heads the list in the
carrying trade. It is understood Of all
people nowadays, that freight rates
are an all important factor in the
building up and tearing down Of given
sections. The big railroad systems
build cities wherever they like. and
make them grow bigger and bigger.
These same railroads prevent other
cities from growing. 1t is done by dis
elimination in freight rates. England
is generally believed to have it in her
power to fix ocean freight rates for the
world. 1t is certain, that in combina-
ton with other maratime nations, she
can easily accomplished this object.
Under existing conditions the nations
that have ships find it comparatively
easy to fix ocean rates at figures that
are calculated to discourage the new
comers. American vessels have been
Disseminated against in the past to
such an extent that most American
ship owners have found it advisable to
sail their vessels under the British flag.
There are many reasons why this is
not to the contingent interest Of the
United States. Among other things, in
case of war it is very desirable to have
a large merchant marine from which
to recruit and reinforce the navy. To
build up an American merchant ma
rine under existing conditions is i'm
practicable, and the advocates Of the
subsidy idea are of the opinion that the
desired end can be accomplished in no
other way.
We have not seen a copy Of the pend
ing bill. The measure is generally un-
derstood to have been drawn by the
leading ship-building concerns of the
country, and it's details have been crit
icised with more or less favor by DIFF
ferent experts. Some think the bill is
correct in principle; but capable Of be-
ing considerably improved upon. All
are pretty we'll agreed that though it
will be at heavy expense. the merchant
marine of the United States will be
considerably developed.

THE Kansas legislature is pretty
nearly in a notion to prove that prohi-
bition will prohibit. Representative
Lawrence, last Saturday, introduced a
bill to legalize joint smashing in ac-
cordance with the manner introduced
by Mrs. Nation. The bill makes 1T a
sufficient defence in an action at law
for the defendant to show that the
property destroyed was actually used
in the operation Of joint. The bill
was advanced to a second reading;
but a motion to rush it through under
a suspension Of the rules was defeated
by a vote Of 81 to 26. The passage of
the bill will go long way toward the
complete elimination of tigers in Kan
sas.

NOTES FROM OGDEN.
Mrs. LenIra B. Mcfsdden Passed Away on
the 5th Instant.

Correspondence OF the Yorkville Enquirer.
OGDEN, February 11.-Death has
again invaded our community. and car
ried away an aged and beloved mother.
Mrs. Lenlra B. McFadden, widow Of
Henry E. McFadden, who preceded her
to the grave about 10 years ago, died
Of heart failure on last Tuesday, the
5th instant, at about o'clock p. m.
Mrs. McFadden was born March 18th,
1882, which made her, at her death, 6S
years, II month and % days old. Flu
neral services were conducted the day
following her death, at the home Of her
bereaved family, by Rev. ]. w. Ariail,
assisted by Rev. ]. K. Hall. The inter-
ment took place in the afternoon Of the
same day in Bethesda cemetery. Mrs.
McFadden had been in falling health
for several years, but was not consid-
cred seriously i'll until a short time be-
fore her death. She was confined to
her bed only seven or eight days. She
was a member Of Antioch M. E. church
from the time 1t was first founded
until her death, and died in full hope
Of receiving the reward Of the righte-
Gus. Three children preceded her to
the grave. Eight are still living to
mourn the loss Of a mother. Two Of
them are far away In the Lone Star
State" At the time of her death she
was living at the old home place with
her daughter, Miss Bea, and heryoung-
est son, Mr.. C. l.. McFadden. The sor-
rowing ones have the sympathy of the
entire community. I commend them
to the one who stood at Lazarus's grave
and wept with those who wept.

MAURICE A. MOORE.

Along with the deep interest that Is
being manifested in 1.-THE Reminiscent
ces Of York." by DR.. Maurice A. Moore.
now being published in THE ENQUIRER,
there has developed many inquiries as
to the identity Of the author.
A few Of the older people Of this Sec
ton remember DR.. Moore very we'll;
but they are few. Most of the old gen.
tleman's former associates have passed
away, and he is remembered now only
as a member of past generation.
Inquiries about DR.. Moore, however,
have induced us to make an effort to Sc
cure some accurate and satisfactory in
formation, and as a result Of this ef-
fort, we are able to give today por-
trait and very readable sketch that
has been prepared by the late doctors
daughter Mrs. Celina E. Means. now
Of Raleigh, N. C.
AS matter Of fact, although the ma
terial for the "reminiscences Of York,
was gathered and prepared by DR..
Moore, they were really written and
prepared for the press by Mrs. Means.
This accomplished lady advised US re-
Gently that she still has in her posses
sion quite quantity Of material Of the
same kind and has agreed to prepare
It for us for use, after the publication
Of the present series is completed.
Although the new matter referred to
is not yet in hand, we think we can
safely say that it soon will be-within
the next few weeks most nkely-and
we are confident that much Of 1t will
prove as interesting and valuable as
any Of the sketches heretofore pub
lished.

III the demand for cotton mules may
be taken as indicative of the amount Of
cotton to be planted in the Southern
States during the current year, the
acreage will be the largest on record.
The leading sale stables Of Memphis
report the largest January business
they have ever experienced in their
history, the sales for the latter days Of
the month reaching the record break
ing total of nearly 1000 head per day;
and it is a notable fact that nearly the
entire volume of business has been ip
cotton mules for use on the farms and
plantations. Large buyers from Mis-
sissippi, Alabama, Georgia, Arkansas,
Tennessee, Louisiana and the two Car
olinas have been on the Memphis mar
ket and have taken back to the heart
of the cotton belt the choicest lots of
cotton mules ever handled on that
market.

bill passed. Committees were appoint
ed and at much labor and expense such
general bills were prepared and print
ed, but they were all showed off. That
is what happened to the general sala-
ry bill, that Is what happened to the
general county government bill and
road law measure, that is what hap
pened to the general fish and game
bill; that Is what happened to the con-
gressional redistricting bill; that Is
what happened to the banking and in
surance bills; that Is it what came to
pass on the bills to regulate the hours
Of working in factories; that Is what
occurred to the general magistrates
bill; and so it was all along the line,
and 1t was the passage Of such general
laws which it was said would keep the
general assembly here tied hand and
foot for the full forty days, for which
and there will not be a day saved If
the present programme is carried ou,.
The house has passed and sent to the
senate the general appropriation anu
supply bills, and these ought to be
passed without much trouble, and by
the time they are out Of the way the
legislative appropriation bill will be on
the senate side. and an adjournment
will be in order. The house has labor
ed under the difficulty Of almost two
weeks of felectioneering, and being prac-
tically a new body 1t has taken some
time to get accustomed to legislative
work. The house will now have a CAL
endar full Of work, so when the law
makers come here next January they
will find abundant work on hand.
The two most commendable things
on the part Of the house have been,
first the good feeling, and second the
disposition to kill useless and unneces-
sary legislation, and the prospects are
that the good work will. continue. The
pity is that really useful legislation
shared the same fate.-August Kohn In
News and Courier.

THE summary Of Senator McLaurin's
speech on the ship subsidy bill, repub-
lished elsewhere in this issue, was sent
by Editor Edmunds to both the News
and Courier and the Columbia State.
Both papers are opposed to ship sub
sides. The News and Courier publish
ed the dispatch. The State suppressed
it and said nothing until after it's ap-
pearance in the News and Courier.
Then unable to offer the same excuse
it gave for not publishing Senator Nc
Laurin's letter to the Spartanburg
manufacturers, it contented itself with
denouncing Editor Edmunds as tool
of Mark Hanna. We wonder what it
is the State has against Senator Nc
Laurin. We have no idea that differ
ence in views as to national policy has
to do with the matter. 1t
conducts itself too certainly like it's
whole grievance were purely personal.

their own whiskey before the crowd ar
rived. All the proprietors begged hard
for their property. promising that if al
lowed to do so they would take it out
of town and would never sell whisky
there again. The crowd was unspar-
ing and made it's work of destruction
complete. That night the people held
monster meeting and appointed a
vigilance committee to see that no
more tigers were allowed to establish
themselves. The crowd did more in
two hours than the officers had done
in two years.

vastaI virgins,

Ovid tells III that the first temple of
Vesta at Rome was constructed Of wat
tied walls and rooted with thatch, like
the primitive huts Of the inhabitants.
It was little other than a cireular5cov
cred fireplace and was tended by the
unmarried girls OF the infant commu
nifty. It served as the public hearth
of Rome, and Of it glowed, nnextin-
guished throughout the year, the sa-
cred fire which was supposed to have
been brought from Troy and the con-
tinuance Of which was thought to be
linked with the fortunes OF the city.
The name Vesta is believed to be, de-
rived from the same root as the San
skirt was, which means ito dwell, to
inhabit," and shows that she was the
goddess of home, and home had the
hearth as its focus. Atown, q state,
is but q large family, and what the do
nestle hearth was to the house that,
the temple Of the perpetual fire, be
came to the city. Every town had It's
yesta, or common hearth. and the col
Onies derived their fire from the moth
er hearth.

cred fire to become extinguished she
