ROCK HILL NEXT.
A Prophecy by Supervisor Gordon
RoastS the New Road Law.

A Prophecy by Supervisor Gordon
Roasts the New Road Law.
Supervisor J. F. Gordon who was here
on Saturday talked in an interesting
way to Journal reporter on several
subjects of local interest.
Speaking Of Yorkville going wet he
said:
ITO tell you the truth it is difficult
to find any satisfactory cause for the
change Of feeling. Personally I believe
the Illicit sale Of liquor had very little
to do with it. The increase in this
traffic is greatly overrated. Many men
who signed the paper for an election
were for prohibition and did so conf
dent that the dispensary would be
again knocked out by a decisive ma
jority. They merely signed to satisfy
the opposition and show it that they
were not afraid of results.
THE old element in the town is as
much opposed to having dispensary
as ever. We think that the new por-
tion Of the population, merchants and
others who hope to attract some ad-
ditional trade carried the election-was
the balance Of power so to speak. The
larger and older merchants fought for
prohibition as heretofore.
"And you may look for dispensary
to be voted into Rock Hill. Oh, yes,
you may smile your incredulity, but I
believe it's coming. We were just as
confident that it would be knocked out
in Yorkville. You are going to have
just such a surprise as we had. Watch
that Rock Hill is losing trade that is
going to Yorkville on account Of the
dispensary and this and neighboring
towns will all have dispensaries in a
very short time. I believe the York
vile incident will prove the opening
wedge"
Mr.. Gordon expressed his disgust for
the action of the legislature in the mat
ter Of it's passage Of the new road law.
"Why, I don't understand what those
fellows were up to. If was a men,
ber would simply say that had been
bowling drunk during the entire ses-
sion and must not be held responsible.
Instead of the 81 Communication tax
and two-mill property tax unanimous
ly recommended by the good roads
convention at Greenville that brilliant
legislature of ours cut the commuta-
ton tax to 81, and doubled the days to
eight with no property tax at all. The
result Is those living along rough roads
will pay the dollar rather than work
and the sections of roads most need
ing improvement will get the least
work on them. The small amount we
will realize under the new law will
hardly keep up the bridges. Road
making has received a severe blow at
the hands of the solons." Rock Hill
Journal.

SOMEWHAT to the surprise Of people
who have been looking for continu-
ance of the non-action policy, the SEN
ate committee on isthmian canals, de-
cided last Wednesday, by vote Of z
to 4, to favorably report the Hepburn
bill, providing for the construction Of
an isthmian canal via the Nicaragua
route. Those in favor of reporting the
bill were Morgan, Mitchell, Hawley,
Platt, Of New York, Harris, Turner,
Foster, Of Louisiana. Those opposed
were Hanna, Pritchard, Millard, Kit
tredge. The Hepburn bill, which has
already passed the house, authorizing
the president to acquire territory for
right Of way for a canal from Costa
Rica and Nicaragua, directs the con-
struction Of a canal Of sufficient capac-
ity to accommodate the largest ships
from Greytown, on the Atlantic, via
Lake Nicaragua to Brito on lne Pacif-
ic, under the supervision Of the secre-
tary Of war; authorizes surveys Of the
harbors at the two ends of the route;
guarantees the use of The canal to ves-
sells Of Costa Rica and Nicaragua and
appropriates s1O,OOO,OOO for beginning
the work. AS to whether the senate
will be willing to pass the bill at this
session cannot be predicted with much
accuracy. Senator Morgan proposes to
do all he can to rush the matter
through; but, of course, cannot accom-
plish anything against the desires of
the Republican majority.

AS the result Of the especial atten-
tion that has been called to the matter
in THE ENQUIRER, a number of people
have undertaken to investigate the ru-
raj free delivery subject, with a view
to securing the establishment Of new
routes; but still there is room for much
more to be done along this line. We
have heard Of some objection to rural
delivery on account Of the Expense" !"
The objection comes from good, honest
souls; but they should not worry on this
score. Uncle Sam knows we'll how to
hold tight his purse strings, and those
of his children who look out best for
themselves are as safe in assuming that
he will not let them bleed him danger
ously. For number Of years past, con-
gress has been making certain appro-
priations for rural free delivery. 1t
was expected at the time the appro-
priations were made that they would be
used, and used they have been. If we
fail to get our full share in this part Of
the country, the only consolation we
have, is that some other part of the
country has promptly snapped it up.

GENERAL Lord Methuen, who was
captured by General DeLarey on March
10, has been voluntarily released. The
British, some weeks ago. captured the
Boer commandant, Kritzinger, and 1t
is understood that he is to be tried on
charges involving the death penalty.
It was thought that the Beers would
probably offer to exchange Methuen for
Kritzinger; but instead they have CIV
en- their man unconditional release.
When the matter was reported to the
house of commons, Thursday, Timothy
NJ. Healy, an Irish member, invited
the government to show equal magma
nimity and release Commandant Krit-
Finger, but there seems to be no prob
ability that anything Of the kind will
be done.

THE TOWN.

H~as to whether or not serious incon-
lEehience results from vaccination, de-
pends upon two or three important
circumstances. In the first place it is
necessary that the patient be properly
vaccinated-thatt the physician knows
his business. After that it is important
that there be no scratching or rubbing
of the sore, no matter how great may
be the itching. If the physician does
his part, and the vaccinated patient
does his part, 1t is often the case that
there is no material Inflammation or
other inconvenience, while the result is
as satisfactory as if it had been neces-
sary to carry an arm in a sling for
weeks.
THE "Chicora" club, consisting of
Col. ]. j. Dargan and four daughters,
of Darlington, gave a delightful enter
tainment in the. opera house last
Thursday night. Colonel Dargan came
without previous announcement except
the notice that appeared in the last Of
THE ENQUIRER, and at that time there
was no information as to when he
would get here. Neither was there
any general information as to the ma
ture of the entertainment except that
1t related to South Carolina history.
Circulars distributed during Wednes-
day announced an entertainment for
Wednesday night, but a heavy rain
that came up about the time doors were
to be opened, forced a postponement
During Thursday afternoon there was
special entertainment for the benefit
OF the school children. A large and ap-
preciatire audience turned out Thurs
day night. Colonel Dargan gave an in
teresting lecture on South Carolina his
tory, and with his four daughters rem
dered some choice selections in vocal
and instrumental music. The whole
entertainment was admirably arranged
and the audience was thoroughly de-
lighted. "Chicora," the name of the
club, is the Indian name for South
Carolina. Colonel Dargan and his
daughters are very enthusiastic in their
work, and it is safe to promise that If
they return to Yorkville they will re-
ceive another reception that will prove
even heartier than that of Thursday
night.

I'm the first place the Democratic
party may deserve to win by setting
its face resolutely toward the rising in
stead of the setting sun. If that phrase
sounds sophomore, let us say it means
that the Democracy must recognize
national conditions as they actually ex-
ist and deal with them as concrete liv-
ing things. We should repre-
sent ideas. methods, processes in gov
ernment that are progressive. popular
and constructive of the best things for
the public. We must De the Democra-
cy of 1902. Past dates are dead, and
the party living in the atmosphere and
sunlight of today. We say the party
ives'-for the party is mighty host of
pulseful. patriotic men ready to strug-
gle and sacrifice for the greatest good
of all the people. and is not a mere
platform of words and tumble of no

gentlemen were not to be quoted, and I
cannot, therefore, reveal their identity
further than to say that one Of them
is a high official of the Standard OIL
company, another is a partner in one
of the greatest financial concerns of
the metropolis, and a third is a many
time millionaire, whose name figures
in some of the largest operations in the

all been heavy contributors to the Re-

1T is a common belief among a great
many people that now since Yorkville
is to have a dispensary, Rock Hill will
reverse the judgment rendered last
summer and establish such an institu-
ton within the next six months. The
case Of Rock Hill, they think, is anal
agous to that Of the old time frontiers
man who, on finding himself sorely
threatened py a prairie fire, set the
grass in front Of him so as to leave
nothing on which the fire in the rear
can feed. We do not consider the sit
uation of our Rock Hill friends nearly
so desperate as this; but that this is
a popular view of the matter, and a
short time will very probably show.
