THE BANKRUPT LAw.-It Is evident
that the bankrupt law is to be forced
prominently upon the consideration Of
congress at its present session.
Already no less than seven bills re.
lating to it have been introduced, five
Of them proposing amendments to II
and two asking for its repeal.
Referring to these schemes Of legis'
lation the Philadelphia Press, owned
and edited by Mr.. Charles Emory
Smith, late postmaster general, says
lone of these bills was offered by
Senator Doliver, a prominent Republi-
can and another by Senator Clay, who
stands equally high on the Democratic
side Of the chamber"
An effort has been made recently un-
der the auspices of the National Bank
ers association to ascertain the con-
sensus of opinion of business men In
all parts Of the country on the opera
tions of the present law, but nothing
like full returns Of this poll nave peen
received so far.
II seems probable that the law will
be amended in some particulars by the
present congress. 1t is the first bank
ruptcy law the country has had In
many years and even its authors and
supporters admitted that 1t would be
liable to objections.
1t may be amended advantageously,
but it's repeal Is not to be expected for
several years to come.-Atlanta Jour-
nal.

THE POOR HOUSE FARM.

"I have an idea," said a well-knowr
citizen of Yorkville to the reporter or
Wednesday morning, that you may
look for some unusual operations or
the poor house farm this year.
How do you mean?"
"well," the gentleman replied, 81
have no information on the subject
no one has intimated anything Of the
kind to me-but 1t has been running
through my mind that with the chain
gang located within easy reach of the
farm, and there being great many
occasions when it can be used with
such unnuestionable advantage, II
strikes me that it would be difficult tc
resist the temptation to pitch in and
make a crop"
Seeing Supervisor Gordon later In the
day, the reporter undertook to draw
from him an idea as to how near his
plans accorded with the suggestion
outlined above.
"Well. you know we have already
done a great deal Of ditching," said
Mr.. Gordon.
"But don't you intend to make a big
crop on the poor house farm?"
1--WE put in big crop Of oats, and
these are all killed." Mr.. Gordon re-
piled in a tone that was as sorrowful
as II the loss were falling entirely on
his own shoulders.
"But that does not answer my ques-
ton. Is 1t not really your purpose to
make the biggest crop that has ever
been grown on that old farm?"
1--WE would have been a heap better
off If we had made a good corn crop
last year." Mr.. Gordon replied. 1T is
mighty hard to have to buy corn al
the prices that We are now having tc
pay"
That is about all the supervisor
would say on the subject Of big cror
on the county home farm. 1t is not
improbable, however, that the gen.
tleman first quoted had 1t down about
right, and that this summer will see
on the county home farm some crops
the like of which had never been seer
there before. This, Of course, Is pro.
vided there are no serious accidents.

THE YoRKvILLE ENQUIRER has chang
ed it's mind in regard to the anti
free pass law, and now thinks it
ought to be repealed, which would
give the members of the legisla-
ture, for instance, an opportunity to
obtain free passes from the railroads,
and it is almost certain that the rail-
roads would show their usual kindness
and courtesy by supplying all the men,
bers with liberal facilities in the way
of transportation during their term Of
office. and no longer. If the law is
repealed. the mileage given to legisla-
tors ought to be abrogated. The gov
ernor has not signed the bill to repeal,
and it will become a law on the 18th
Of this month unless he vetoes it.
Greenville Mountaineer.
In assuming that any railroad has
ever been so foolish as to make a pro-
miscuous distribution Of free passes
among legislators, The Mountaineer is
very much mistaken. The railroads
are aware of the fact that not every
member Of the legislature is worth a
free pass. The public is very we'll
aware that there are members Of the
pass from a railroad even If there were
no prohibitory law on the subject.
This same public knows that the man
who would accept pass even in the
absence of a prohibitory law. would do
so in violation of the law. While all
the members of the South Carolina
general assembly do not now hold free
passes, it is fact that some of them
as many as before the
prohibitory law was passed. 1t is quite
clear that 4 legislator who holds pass
under existing conditions is under the
complete control of the railroads. The
man who gave him the pass has the
power to ruin him. These are reasons
why we are in favor of the repeal Of

PREDICAMENT OF DEMOCRACY.

Must Nominate a Candidate Who

other.
Senator Tillman, Of South Carolina,
lectured at Memphis a few nights ago
and while there gave to reporter OF
The Commercial-Appeal an interview,
which. If reported accurately, is enti-
tied to rank as his most extraordinary
utterance. He told the newspaper
man that the Democratic party was In
an unsettled, shapeless sort Of a nix,
and was simply sailing along without
chart or compass" and outlined, thus,
what ought to be done for the dere-
lict:
1.-The situation requires a man who
has remained with the party, although
he may have done so at the sacrifice OF
his personal views on the silver ques-
ton. He must not be radical silver
man, for that would excite the enmity
Of the gold standard Democrats, and
he must not be man who has refused
to stand by the party, because the sill
yer people, and we can't win without
them. will not support such a ticket
He should be a man who believed In
the gold standard and yet put aside his
personal views and accepted the will
Of his party as final in the past con-
tests"
What Nominate a.man who has al
the while beIleved in the gold stand
ard! This is an amazing concession
from one who, as the Vicksburg, Miss.
Herald, said, little over a veal
ago, Of the gold standard people: 1--WE
don't want such cattle in our party
Drive them out. Get rid Of them
Stand by free coinage or you are ne
Democrat" Now the builder wants tt
put at the head Of the corner one Of
these stones which he just a little
while ago refused.
But We cannot believe that Senator
Tillman uttered these sentiments
There must be some mistake about it
The reporter must have gotten hin
down wrong. We await fuller informa'

CLEVELAND AND HILL.-Jackson day
was celebrated by small circle of
Democratic lawyers in Philadelphia
last Wednesday. The most significant
feature Of the occa sion was the reading
of letters from ex-President Grover
Cleveland and ex-senator David B.
Hill.
Mr.. Cleveland wrote:
IT am glad to know that there are at
least 80 young democrats in Philadel-
phia who are unwilling to allow Jack
son day to pass without recognition.
"The inclination to neglect observ-
ance of a day that has been so long
and so strongly related to genuine
Democratic sentiments. may reasona-
bly,, J think. be counted among the af-
fictive visitations that have lately
weakened and depressed our party or
ganization.
II hope the spirit Of true Jacksonian
Democracy may pervade your celebra-
ton: and that its participants may de-
rive satisfaction and stimulation from
their efforts to revive tnd strengthen
the principles and practices Of our old
time. honest, consistent and aggressive
Democratic faith"
Senator Hill, in his letter said:
your letter has just reached me. !
give you this sentiment: A strict con-
struction of the federal constitution.
Ne entangling alliances with foreign
nations. Insistance upon the reserved
rights Of the states. Public taxation
for public purposes only. Opposition to
monopolies and dangerous combina-
tions Of capital. The preservation of
the personal liberty of the citizen. No
centralization. Home rule for the
states and municipalities. These are
Democratic principles which survive
all defeats and must ultimately tri-
umph."

Afne funeral of Mrs. C. J. Robert
son took place last Wednesday after
noon, the services being conducted by
Rev. J. c. Johnes. Mrs. Robertson was
highly esteemed in Yorkvlile and
large concourse Of people turned out
to pay their last respect to her. All
Of the children Of the deceased: Mrs.
w. Z. Faulconer, Mrs. G. w. s. Hart,
Mr.. w. F. Robertson and Mrs. H. F.
Robertson, were present at the fune-
raj, and Mr.. o. Frank Hart, grand
son, came up from Columbia, and Miss
Jennie Hart, clerk in the census de-
partment at Washington, came to
Yorkville for the sad occasion. Mr.. w.
F. Robertson, who hurried here from
Wilmington, N. c., brought with him
his little son, Frederick.
Fox hunting has been one Of the
sports that the corporate limits Of
Yorkville have afforded during the past
few weeks. In the early fall Mr.. j. Q.
Wray brought a pair Of red foxes to
Yorkville and kept them until few
weeks ago, when they managed to
gnaw their way out Of the box in
which they were confined. One Of the
foxes was killed shortly afterward be-
fore it got the lay Of the land; but
the other managed to keep in the lead
Of it's enemies until it thoroughly learn
ed the peculiarities Of the situation, in
cluding all the culverts, hollow trees,
blind bitches, cellars and other hiding
places. Parties Of hunters have made
numerous trips after 1t and have been
able to strike its trail on almost every
trip; but as yet have not succeeded in
getting up a race. The fox has pre-
ferred to take early advantage Of one
Of it's numerous hiding places. It Is
supposed to be having a fine time liv-
ing on the poultry that is being raised
about town; but the hunters are in
clined to persevere, and they expect to
catch up with the cunning young fell
ow and make an end Of him before
they quit.

Washington in behalf Of the various
candidates until President Roosevelt
must have thought that every man in
Newberry was an applicant for post
mastership made vacant by the remov-
al of the former postmaster for some
counts. One Of the conspicuous appli-
cants was a white man named John
Scott. formerly a citizen Of Iowa, but
recently resident Of Newberry.
Among those taking an active part in
the contest was Charles ]. Purcell. a
large property owner in Newberry. Mr.
Purcell denied repeatedly that he was
an aspirant for the Office, and stated
that his only object was to see de-
sirable man appointed. Despite one Of
his visits to Washington Mr.. Scott be-
came impressed with the idea that Mr..
Purcell was secretly at work trying to
obtain the appointment for himself.
Knowing the high moral standard
which President Roosevelt endeavors
to maintain in the selection Of Federal
officers, Mr.. Scott, in addition to ac-
cusing Mr.. Purcell with treachery to-
wards certain candidates supposed to
have his endorsement, also charged
him with owning property and renting
it to persons for immoral purposes.
These charges became known in New
berry and the following day Mr.. Pur-
cell, who weighs about 200 pounds, and
Is somewhat Of an athlete. met Mr..
Scott on the street. Scott is a much
smaller man. but that did not prevent
Mr.. Purcell from administering to him
severe thrashing. When Mr.. Scott
cried "Enougn!" Mr.. Purcell reluctant
ly permitted his accuser to depart In
somewhat mangled condition. Be-
fore doing So however, he declared
that HE would repeat the dose daily
until the charges which Scott made
against him were withdrawn" The
next day Scott telegraphed to Wash
lngton withdrawing the charges
against Mr.. Purcell. Subsequently
these circumstances were brought to
the attention Of President Roosevelt.
Up to that time he had been undecided
as to whom he would appoint at New
berry. In view of the bitter struggle
over the office, and the possibility that
whoever was appointed might have
trouble in the administration Of the Of
tice, he selected Mr.. Purcell, who is not
only highly respected citizen, but ap-
parently capable of defending himself
and upholding the discipline Of his office
in case Of an emergency. Senator Nc
Laurin is authority for the statement
that Mr.. Purcell was never an avowed
candidate for the office and there is not
on file a single scrap OF paper to indi-
cate that he was an applicant. New
berry at last has a postmaster and Sen
ator McLaurin gets the credit for the
selection of Mr.. Purcell.

uuiries as to the scope of the resolu-
