out Of his private office, and seeing
General Miles In the room, at once
seemed to wax furious. Placing HIM
self squarely before the aged and white
haired lieutenant general Of the army,
ne waved his arms energetically and
then raised his finger warningly under
the nose Of General Miles. II will have
you to know" said Mr.. Roosevelt in a
loud voice, that I will not allow you
to criticize the executive and depart
mental acts. I do not care who you
are I will not stand it, and you will
find out that I am going to stop this
sort of thing" The president was be-
side himself with anger. General Miles
colored deeply; but made no reply, as
the regulations strictly forbid the use
Of harsh language to superior officer
The circumstance has occasioned q
great deal Of gossip and much criti-
cism that is unfavorable to the presi-
dent. 1t would seem that the presi-
dent is not warranted in losing his
temper; that he should have showed
respect to the age Of General Miles
and that he should have also allowed
the general to make such explanation
as he evidently desired to make.

1902.

Things have not panned out just as
all of us would have liked during the
year closed yesterday. Many Of us who
began the year 1901 hopeful that 1t
would at least bring us greater mate
rial prosperity than we had enjoyed
previously, have been disappointed.
Taken altogether, the past year has
not been a prosperous one. In all this
section there are but few people who
find themselves better off in this
worlds goods tnan they were at this
time last year. And it can hardly be
said that the present situation is due
to any fragrant neglect Of duty on the
part of any class of workers. The sea-
sons have been against the farmers, or
at least most Of them, and as the farm
ers having failed to prosper, all other
dependent classes have suffered in pro-
portion.
But the new year looms before us,
and though it appears to be an unopen-
ed book, we have right to hope and be-
lieve that it contains more that is good
than bad. The experience Of the past
has taught us that our opportunities
are largely what we ourselves make
them, and, therefore the watch word
for the present is to keep at it. There
has never yet been time when there
was no reward for earnest, faithful eff
fort, and there will be no exception to
this rule in the year 1902.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1902-01-01

Is no doubt that the agricultural inter-
ests of the county have suffered. Many
farms heretofore prosperous and pro-
ductive, have been allowed to run down
and others have been actually aban-
doned. While as yet there has been no
serious decline in prices, in view OF
the fact that the value of farms lands
depends largely upon the supply and
reliability of the available labor. it is
fair to assume that If conditions con-
tinue in the direction to which they
are now tending, it will not be great
while before country property will be-
gin to grow less desirable.
That there rs a possible remedy for
the condition in which this county Is
beginning to find itself we have no
doubt. Just what this remedy Is we
do not like to undertake to specify In
positive detail, because 1t probably lies
along several different lines, all lead
ing in the same direction, and the end
of which we are unable to clearly see;
but of one thing we are quite certain,
two Of the most important Of these
lines point to township highschools and
better public roads. When these mat
ters begin to receive the attention they
deserve, there will be but little difficult
ty in determining upon the other
things needful to be accomplished In
order to solve the problem by which
the county now seems to be confronted

Looking to the Future.

People who have been reasonably IA
miliar with conditions as they have ex
listed in York county during the pas
Is or 20 years, have noted a steady ten.
dency of the rural population to drift
toward the towns, or at least away
from the farms.
Although the effects have become
more noticeable in some townships
than in others. there is no reason to try
to disguise the fact that every part OF
the county has suffered. What Is still
worse. the tendency now is stronger
than it was 10 or Is years ago, and
instead Of approaching a standstill, II
seems to be growing at an accelerated
pace.
While we are unable to present par
ticulars in detail, we will say that 1t
has not been our observation that this
movement from country to town has
contributed very greatly to the bene-
fit of the people most directly con-
cerned. One of the best evidences that
can be presented are the numerous cases
in which people who have moved from
the farms to the mills, have afterward
returned to the farms. 1t is safe to
say that where one family has bene-
fitted itself by moving from the coun-
try to the towns, dozen families have
suffered serious disadvantage by the
change.
But however individuals may have
been affected by this movement, there

HAD it stopped there, the recent rep.
rimand Of General Miles would have
been very proper. By reason Of his
high position in the army, General
Miles had no business making public
his opinion as to the quarrels Of the
navy, especially while those quarrels
were under the consideration Of prop.
erly constituted court. But in going
beyond an official reprimand to such ar
extent as to make the matter almost
purely personal, the president seems
to have lost ground. Until the White
House incident, Miles was at a disad-
vantage. Now it is the president who
seems to be in the shadow.

THE CHAINGANG.

The county chaingang is still en-
camped on the Yorkville and Tirzah
road but has not yet commenced the
work on account Of which it was loca-
ted there.
AS has already been stated, the gang
has been doing some ditching and
stump pulling on the poor house farm:
but on account of two days of Christ
mas recreation and several days of bad
weather, has not been able to complete
all the work that has been laid out for
it there.
The gang was about free of smallpox
last week, and Superintendent White
ner was making ready to burn up the
pest tent, when he was called upon to
take charge Of the new case Of small
pox that developed at the Jail, and OF

HIGH SCHOOL AT BETHEL.

The people of Bethel congregation
are determined on having a first class
high school in the immediate vicinity
of Bethel church. The subject has beer
under serious consideration for several
years past, and has been most persist
entity urged by Rev. w. B. Arrowooo
and other leading citizens: but 1T Is
only just now beginning to take def
mite shape.
There was a we'll attended meeting
at Bethel on Saturday, December 21
and the whole matter was thoroughly
discussed. All present were fully con-
vinced Of the necessity for a first-class
high school in the community. and
there was a free exchange Of ideas as
to the best means Of attaining the OBJ.
ject in view.
| No definite plan Of operations was
decided upon: but as the outcome OF
the meeting, the work in hand was
entrusted to the discretion Of a COM
mittee Of seven representative citizens
as follows: G. L. Riddle. S. J. Clinton
j. w. Jackson, I. B. Faris DR.. T. N
Dulin. D. G. Stanton, J. J. Nichols.
AS to just how the committee will
proceed. THE ENQUIRER has no definite
information: but understands that
among other things a portion Of the
necessary money will be raised by
voluntary subscriptions. Should this
means fail to bring into sight as much
money as will be needed for immediate
purposes, the committee will very
probably have recourse to other steps;
but it is understood that the work nec-
essary to the erection of the requisite
buildings will be pushed along with but
| little delay.
Speaking Of the proposed undertak-
| ing, a gentleman said to the reporter:
I'VE all realize the necessity for a
first-class school in our neighborhood,
and it Is our desire to have school
that will be second to no other institu-
tion of the same class anywhere. We
want a school at which we can not
only educate our own children; but
which will be Of a character to draw
patronage from abroad. AS to how we
are going to succeed. 1 do not like to
promise too much; but great many of
us feel that If we fail, it will be the
most expensive failure the community
has ever made. If our people gener-
ally can only be brought to realize the
very great Importance of the enterprise
in hand and all that it means for us,
religiously, socially and financially,
there can be no possibility of failure" ."

INAsMucH as Edgar S. Maclay, the
alleged historian. stands convicted as q
malicious slanderer. there will be little
sympathy from equitably disposed peo-
ple because Of the loss Of his position
in the Brooklyn navy yard: but for the
sake Of the record. it would be inter
esting, If the administration would lei
1t be known whether his discharge was
out Of resentment because Of the ag-
eravated muddle Of which he has beer
the occa sion. or because Of his criminal
SANDER against Admiral Schley. His
punishment is easily justifiable on the
last named ground; but on the first
mentioned ground, justification would
be considerably more difficult.

UNDER REPUBLICAN CoNTRoL.-Sena-
tor Teller was a member of the electo-
raj commission which, by a party vote
of to 7, stole the presidency from
Samuel J. Tilden, the Democratic NOM
inee, and this same Teller wanted con-
gressional interference to prevent the
disfranchisement Of Negroes in the
south. Today he Is still a Republican
still on all questions, but silver, and
yet he is admitted to the Democratic
caucus, and votes to refuse assign
ments to Senator McLaurin. Is it any
wonder that a man with the pride of
McLaurin refuses to be led by such
leaders? Look over the roll Of the
Democratic senatorial caucus, and 1t is
dominated by Silver Republicans and
Populists, men who never voted the
Democratic ticket in their lives until
the silver issue was sprung, and only
then, because they were personally in
terested in the silver mining industry.
The lifelong Democratic senators,
aside from a few from the south, are
small minority in the much prated
Democratic caucus which Senator Nc
Laurin declines to be shackled by
Manning Times.

Still Worried About McLaurin.

Washington special, of December q
to Spartanburg Journal: Senator Nc
Laurin's name continues to be coup
led with a cabinet position, notwith-
standing the fact that two new ap-
pointments to President Roosevelt S
cabinet have already been made. 1t
can be stated, however, that Senator
McLaurin. personally, has never con-
sidered going into the cabinet, or into
any other position which would take
him out of South Carolina politics.
During the life time of President Nc
kinley, the senator was offered seve-
raj missions under the government, in
Guiding Il federal judgeship. all of
which he declined. He is not an office
seeker for federal patronage in any
sense of the word. and that he will re-
main in the United States senate until
the close of his term is not in the least
doubted by his friends.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1902-01-01

which mention has already been made.
The county commissioners have been
considerably concerned over the small
pox problem. They realize that so long
as the disease continues in the county
the chaingang Is reasonably certain Of
catching its full share. In the case Of
most prisoners, an ordinary tent will
serve as a pest shelter; but there Is a
decided conviction that II one Of the
long term prisoners should take small
pox he would have to be more securely
confined, and accordingly 1t has been
determined to erect on the county
farm q stoutly built log cabin to serve
as a pest house.
There was a story in circulation re-
Gently, to the effect that Negro who
claimed to be sick was whipped so bad
ly that he died, for refusing to work.
There is no truth in the report. Con-
victs try to play 'possum sometimes:
but Superintendent Whitener makes it
a rule not to whip them until after he
gets an opinion from the attending
physician. There have been no whip
pings of this kind for quite awhile, and
there have been no deaths as the result
Of whippings or other causes. The
story referred to is entirely without
Foundation.
Mr.. w. w. Miller has recently COM
pleted a profile Of the first mile Of the
Yorkville and Tirzah road, from what
is known as the mile branch to point
few hundred yards east of the coun-
ty home, and work will probably be
commenced, so soon as the weather
settles sufficiently to admit Of opera
tions. The plans for crossing fishing
creek have not been completed yet; but
| 1t is understood that the new bridge
to be erected there will rest on rock
abutments, some five or six feet higher
than the old bridge. The Robinson hill
| is to be graded down considerably and
all of the work contemplated Is to be
of a most substantial character.
