WITHIN THE TOWN.

!: = The services, in connection with the
funeral of Colonel R. M. Wallace, last
Friday afternoon, were held In the
Presbyterian church and were conduct
ed by Rev. w. G. Neville. The inter-
ment took place in the Yorkville GEM
eteyy in the A. S. Wallace family plot.
The following cotton men are ope-
rating on the local market: Riddle &
Carroll, J. P. White at Riddle & Car
rolls; B. N. Moore, at his office, buy
ing and warehousing; ]. M. Heath &
Co., represented by J. L. and H. I.
williams; Beard & Carroll with Mr..
Carroll doing the buying. Messrs. Lat
ia Bros, are operating on other mar
kets and buying lots here; but have not
yet commenced buying from wagons.
They expect to begin handling their
share Of the wagon cotton within a
few days. Up to this time the local
market has been quite lively, and there
Is every reason to anticipate that the
situation will continue.
The town council has declined to al
low the Carolina and North Western
railroad to extend its side tracks on
the Liberty street crossing. At present
the switch begins within few feet or
the sidewalk, and the railroad people
desired to extend their sidetrack to
the opposite side Of the street, placing
the switch fifteen feet beyond the inner
edge Of the sidewalk on the southside
Of the street, and running a sidetrack
across the street, placing a frog seven
feet inside the inner edge Of the pave
ment on the north side, and allowing
the guard rails to extend out on the
pavement, making six rails on or across
the sidewalk, instead of two, as at pres
ent. The council considered this ar
rangement undesirable and dangerous,
and put a stop to the work. The rail-
road people are somewhat disappointed
at the position of the council with re-
gard to the matter and say that In view
of the location Of the depot PLATFORM
with reference to the street, they will
have to blank one end of the side track
and thus subject themselves to much
Inconvenience.

1T is commonly understood that the
cost Of newspaper advertising has been
very heavy on many of the candidates
for Federal and state offices this year.
We have no doubt that this is quite
true, and all candidates who failed to
get the worth of their money, If there
are any such, have our sympathy. But
at the same time we are disposed to
congratulate the newspapers on the
changed situation and to express the
hope that there will be no retrograde
movement in the development referred
to-. Heretofore the newspapers have
been doing advertising free of charge,
without receiving from the candidates
even so much as subscription. There
Is certainly no reason why newspapers
should gratuitously get themselves in
hot water for a candidate, and If can
didate desires to advertise there is no
reason why he should not pay for it
the same as other people. In order,
however, that the public may not get
an exaggerated idea Of the income OF
the newspapers on account of this kind
of business, we venture that no paper
of the state, with the exception Of the
Columbia State, News and Courier and
maybe one or two of the other dailies,
realized as much as one hundred dol
lars on account of all the advertising it
did for all the Federal and state candi-
dates. One quarter of that sum would
cover the total receipts of THE ENoUI-
RER on this account.

HEARD. THOUGHT AND SEEN.

IN. Cotton is reported to be opening so
rapidly in this section that the pickers
can hardly keep up with it. The proba-
bility Is that there will be but little
cotton to pick this year after Novem-
Der 1.
Y III Echoes from the rural free deliv-
cry system indicate increasing satis-
faction on the part Of the patrons of
the various routes. There was much
opposition to the innovation at first
but now, since the patrons are begin
ming to realize that each one virtually
has postofice of his own, this opposi-
tion is being dissipated.
IL A casual conversation between two
gentlemen on the streets Of Yorkville
the other day, one Of them over 70 years
of age, reverted to the subject Of men
who had been especially noted In this
section for their physical strength. AL
though several names were mentioned,
one especially striking incident came
in review, and no doubt there are some
old people who could give more facts.
1.-The strongest man Of whom I have
any recollection" said the septua-
genarian, "was Brit Bolin. His
name was probably Briton; but he
was always known as Brit He
lived up in the Bethany section,
only short distance from the
church, and the only time remember
to have seen him was in the early for
ties. AS a little shaver, I went along
with a party on a deer hunting expedi-
tion in that section, and they called on
Bolin to get information and enjoy the
old mans yarns. He had retired as
not go with the party. During that oc-
casion, however, there was some inter-
esting reviews of Bolin's hunting ad-
ventures, and one of them made quite
an impression on me. It was to the
effect that some years previous the old.
man went hunting with one Of the Nc
ellis. Which one it was do not re-
member: but they were on foot and af-
ter they had killed large deer Mr.. Nc
Gill became disabled or exhausted, and
was unable to make the trip back home,
several miles distant. After considering
the situation a bit, Mr.. Bolin took the
deer on his shoulders and had Mr.. Nc
Gill to climb on top Of it, and with this
load, augmented by the two rifles,
trudged on home, making the trip
without great difficulty" -

Looking Ahead.

The following communication, Whlch
appeared in the Charlotte Observer OF
last Friday, and referred to by that pa
per as being of unusual interest, has
excited some newspaper comment In
this state:
To the Editor Of The Observer: ..
What do the two primary elections In
South Carolina prove? Four things:
1. That the Conservatives have more
voters than the Tillmanites. The four
Conservative candidates for senator
polled over $4,000 votes in the first pri-
mary. while the two Tillmanites polled
less than 41,000.
2. That a Conservative would have
been elected senator If they had not
permitted four Conservatives to run in
the first primary. Had there been even
only three. one of these would have
been in the second primary against
Latimer. Had there been only one. ne
would have been elected in the first pri-
mary.
8. If the Conservatives act in con-
cert in 1904, they can elect all the state
officers. and in 1906 they can easily
beat Mr.. B. r. Tillman for the senate
4. Mr.. D. G.. Hayward Is evidently
Ito be reelected governor in 1904-and
to be elected senator in 1906. YORK.
The foregoing is quite interesting on
it's face: but the writer has evidently
not taken a very comprehensive view
of even such facts as seem to be plainly
apparent.
In assuming that there are still "Con-
servatives" and "Tillmanites, york
Is correct: but when he assumes tina,
the relative strength of the two parties
as shown by the recent primary, Is as
SO, 900 to Al 900 votes, he Is allowing
himself to be right considerably fooled
It is true that there were in the race
for the United States senate four pref
ty little girls who had formerly beer
naughty conservatives" Once upon
time they had been supposed to rep
resent something; but all Of them have
repented. Because of the severe cor
rection that they had received. all were
disposed to be good in the future. They
asked Mamma Tillman to be allowed tc
go out to swim in the political pond. ano
by way of permission he said: "Oh. yes
my daughters, provided you first swear
to me not to venture into anti-waters.'
They swore and were duly drowned
The drowning was made to appear
comparatively pleasant, it is true; but
nevertheless it was entirely effective.
1t is quite probable that if only one
of the quartette, consisting of Messrs
Hemphil, Elliott, Johnstone and Hen
derson had gone into the race with
Messrs. Evans and Latimer, he woulc
have been in a second race with one OF
the other, and that he would have beer
finally elected. But it had not been sc
ordered. All that had been taken into
due consideration. The thing was sc
managed as to make it appear to have
Just happened that way. But there
really was not much accident about
any of the results. AS little as the
masses OF the people of South Caroline
understand about the politics of theil
state, it must not be assumed that there
are none who understand how to man
age the masses under existing condi-
tions.
But thing" No. is one Of the fun
niest of all. IF the Conservatives are
in concert in 1904" That Is a good one
There are some pretty. shrewd wire

CAPT HEYwARDs THANKs.-To the
Democratic voters of South Carolina:
1t is with a sense of profound gratitude,
mingled with an equal sense of the SOL
emn responsibility involved that I ten

denced by the votes given me in the re-
cent primary. From every county and
town, from every precinct and hamlet,
have I been remembered with trust and

deep for speech, and with thanks that
come from my heart, 1 pledge you
again, by our sacred traditions and glo-
rious history, by all that we hold dear,
to do all in my power to prove worthy
of this great gift-the confidence and
trust Of South Carolina.

THE politicians are now interested
in the question as to who will succeed
to: the vacancy caused by the death OF
the late Colonel R. M. Wallace. 1t
seems to be generally agreed that Sen
ator McLaurin is now out Of politics
and that he will have no voice in the
matter. Some of the politicians think
that John G. Capers may name the
lucky man, and others are Of opinion
that Major jenkins will be referee.
Among the possible elligibles have
been mentioned the names of Deputy
Collector Withers, ex-Marshal L. D.
Melton, Major A. H. Mowry and one
or two others. AS matter of fact,
however, nobody seems to have-a very
satisfactory idea of the exact situa-
ton. .-....

There is more Catarrh in this section
Of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be ihcurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced 1t a local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies. and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced 1t incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be a constitu-
tional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca

Is taken internally in doses from 10

some of the members have secured
other places of employment and. they
have not, as yet, secured others In
their places. which in most instances
leaves out their respective parts. which
fact cripples their music until others

YORKVILLE, S. c.:
WEDNESDAY, SEPT. II, 1902.

NOBODY is going to think any the less
of Colonel Talbert, on account Of the
card he has published to the Demo-
cratic voters. There rs no bitterness in
it, and he is entitled to credit for mean
ing all that he says. ..
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1902-09-17

In another column are reproduced
the after-election messages Of Messrs.
Evans and Talbert. We like the tone
of Colonel Talbert's card. He has moth
ing to say and does not try to say a
great deal. When Governor Evans
says, II fought on the stump for those
principles which l believed to be true,
Democratic and for the best interest
Of our state" we believe him. We do
not believe that the principles for which
he fought are altogether for the best
interest of the state; but we have no
doubt that he honestly thought so.
And it is the same with Governor
Evans's expression, Il exposed the Re-
publican policy of my opponent" We
do not doubt that he honestly thinks
that Mr. Latimer is going Republican,
ward, just as he claimed in 1897 that
McLaurin was going Republicanward.
AS matter of fact Mr.. Latimer was
further along on Mr.. McLaurin's plat
form during the last campaign than
McLaurin was in 1897. But Mr.. Latimer
is not a Republican, and we have no
idea that he will ever be one. He is not
as bright or as able a man as is Gov
ernor Evans; but his campaign shows
that he knows we'll how to measure the
temper of the people. and whatever
Mr.. Evans or any other individual may
think of the matter, if the people are
Democratic, Mr.. Latimer must be DEM
ocratic also.

Primitive Tools and Antigua
ted Methods.


What teacher cannot accomplish
far better results with proper
equipment? asks the Biblical Re-
corder. To begin with, the school
is more easily disciplined in a
comfortably furnished building;
in fact it is impossible, as we all
know, to maintain order in a room
that is not properly furnished,
with no place for anything and
nothing in place, books scattered.
everything in confusion, disorder
in abundance, all in bad humor.
Teacher goes home at close of
days work exhausted. discouraged
Pupils go home wishing they
would never have to return. Of
course children may be restrained
from bad conduct by fear of pun
ishmeut. but has. not the all-in-
portant principle of self develop
ment been grossly violated?
Should it not tie our purpose to
direct and strengthen the spirit of
the child along the right lines
rather than to weaken and subject
it by harsh means? Good sur
ronndings are worth more than
strict rules, stout arms and keen
switches.
As an investment in money
would it Got yield handsome re-
turns to give the teachers up-to-
date working appliances to facili-
tate their efforts and to improve
the opportunities of the pupils?
What farmer would undertake to
farm with primitive tools and af-
ter antiquated methods? Some of
them do and we can see the re-
suit. What housewife would un-
dertake to do the cooking on au
open fire with pot-hooks. skillet,
etc. Our progressive farmers buys
up-to-date implements. Nearly
every home is now { rnished with
q steel range. even discarding the
faithful old cool stove for the sake
of economy in edsrgy; time, money,
and nerve force. Then why should
these same people expect the
school teachers to accomplish the
best results without proper equip
ment with which to work?

the workable bed is near Sand Coulee
in Choteau county, and yields both
steam and cokfng coal. The Sweet
grass hills district, Choteau county,
has three workable beds of fair semi
bituminous steam coal, but there are
no producing miles. Along the sum-
init of the Rocky mountain range,
and westward, are numerous areas Of
incidence lake beds, which contain
some Ignite coal.
In 1880 the Rocky mountain coal
fields produced about 1000, 900 short
tons of coal; in 1890 they produced
about 100000 tons; in 1900 almost
13, 500, 900 tons; and their estimated
capacity was over 21,000,00 tons. In
1900, PIT commercial mines in So coun-
ties of North Dakota, Montana, Idaho,
Wyoming, Utah, Colorado and New
Mexico, produced 13,496,555 short
tons, worth a little over ST., 400, 600,
OF this total coal product IS per cent

cent for manufacturing fuel, ~ per
cent for domestic fuel, and 8 per cent
was made into coke.
