AS TO RIGHTS OF WAY.

Although the intelligent liberality
that has been displayed by York coun-
tvs citizenship. with reference to road
building. during the past few years, has
been of a most gratifying nature on
the whole, still there have been some
notable exceptions, including some ex-
hibitions of littleness than can only be
comprehended with considerable diff

The effect of a good road in enhanc-

most people of average intelligence. 1t
is pretty we'll understood, too, that al
though the subject is we'll worthy the
utmost endeavors of any and every de-

THE approaching visit Of Prince Hen
ry, Of Prussia, on the occasion Of the
launching of Emperor Williams yacht
is the subject Of much political inter
est, not only throughout the United
States, but throughout Europe. Most
of the European nations have been
very greatly concerned during the past
few years at the remarkable develop
ment Of American supremacy in vari-
Gus lines Of manufacture and interna-
tional commerce generally. Quite a
number Of statesmen have seriously
discussed the idea of a general boycott
by Europe Of American goods, and the
formation Of a commercial alliance
against the United States. 1t is thor
oughly we'll understood in Europe, as
we'll as in the United States, that the
approaching visit is not purely a mat
ter of pleasure. The consideration and
difference that are being exhibited are
unusual, especially as coming from an
empire to republic. and there is little

LYNCH WILL NOT Risk IT.-Colonel
Arthur Lynch, the recently elected
member of the house of commons for
Galway city, who is said to have fought
on the side of the Beers in South Afrf-
ca, in an interview with representa-
tive of the Associated Press today
denied that he had tried to go to Eng
land for the opening Of parliament
Colonel Lynch said he had not lett
Paris for the good reason that he ap-
preciated the fact that he would not
be allowed to reach his goal, the
house of commons. He had some time
ago contemplated going to the opening
Of parliament, but, said he, jokingiy:
II did not think then that nation
that considers itself a nation of sports
men would be so unsportmanlike as u
seek to reach me in cold blood, when II
might have had me in warm blood IN
the Transvaal."
Colonel Lynch added that his future
movements would be governed by tne
counsels of the Irish party, In which ne
has every confidence, and by the wishes
of his constituents. He said the sto-
ries published in the English papers
of his recent visit to DR.. Leyds' At
Brussels, with whom he was allegeo
to have business connections, were
pure inventions. He had only passed
through Brussels a year ago, and ne
had not had business relations with
DR.. Leyds of any kind, though tney
were on friendly terms.-Paris dispatch
of Saturday.

THE fact that Joel f. Smith, the
Monticello, Fla, newspaper" man.
had made an assignment, was stated In
THE ENQUIRER recently. 1t will be re-
membered that Mr.. Smith claimed to
have been broken up by unfriendly crit
icisms and Misrepresentation of his
business. THE ENQUIRER stated that
the trouble was probably due to the
fact that the postoffice authorities were
on the fellows trail. 1t develops that
this surmise was correct. A dispatch
of last Saturday from Chattanooga,
Tenn. SAYS that Inspector Peer has
taken Smith>in custody and held him
in a bond of sf7,Ssaa on the charge of
using the mails for fraudulent -TT1r2os-
es. Mr.. Smith has been pretty slick all
along-slick enough to attract to his
support some very influential defenders,
(both openly and anonymously)-but
he is now in serious trouble. When
Uncle Sam goes after a man for Of
fences against the postoffice depart
ment, he generally makes himself felt.

The idea of organizing joint stock

handsome modern hotel on the site of

should not be great deal Of difficulty
about raising the capital stock Of a

* The stores of C. P. Lowrance & Co.,
and J. M. Starr G. Co., were burglar
lied last Friday night. In the case
of C. P. Lowrance & Co., entrance was
effected through a front window. and
in the case Of J. M. Starr & Co., en-
trance effected through the cellar
and a trapdoor overhead: IN both in
stances the burglars were after cash:
From Lowrance's they got about nine

from Starts three or four dollars, the
contents Of the cash register. There Is
no clue as to the identity Of the bur-
glars.
Discussing the local liquor receipts

fer would suggest that the town coun-
ell request the express company to
furnish the chief Of police, within an
hour after the arrival Of each train, a
complete list of all the liquor receipts,
where from, how much, and to whom
consigned. This information will en-
able the police to keep close up with the
situation and to know what individuals
are getting more whisky than they can
personally consume. With this as a
basis 1t will be less difficult to spot

was a warm race after Mr..
10. Wray's fox last Saturday night.
Somebody saw the animal cross the
street, near the old Methodist church,
shortly after dark, and soon after the
incident was reported, large pack Of
hounds was put on the trail. The race
carried the dogs over fences, under
houses and across lots in the direction
of the cotton factory; but just as the
dogs were getting well down to their
work, and were running beautifully,
the mill shut down for the night, and
the dispensing operatives confused the
trail to such an extent that the chase
had to be abandoned.
There are II prisoners in Jail at the
present writing.

Mr.. A. A. Brantley, of Orangeburg
who was for many years connected
with the treasury department, is at the
st. James. He takes great interest in
public affairs in South Carolina, and
said he had heard 1t suggested that Rep
resentative Elliott might be brought
forward as a compromise candidate for
the senate to succeed Senator McLau-
rim. He expressed the opinion that
there is not the slightest possibility of
Senator McLaurin succeeding himself,
and that at present the race appears to
be between Representative Latimer
and Mr. Henderson. In the judgment
of Mr. Brantley Mr.. Elliott would be
Of more value to the state of South
Carolina in the senate than either of
the gentlemen thus far named.-Wash-
ington correspondence of The News and
Courier.
Although not to be regarded as es-
pecially important, this paragraph is
quite interesting. In the view that
Messrs. Henderson and Latimer are
both formidable candidates we quite
agree. and we predict also that when
the votes are counted, it will he found
that Latimer especially will show with
most of the strength that Senator Till

Richardson, Of Tennessee, the chair
man, stated that no final results had
been reached and pending an agree
ment no announcement would be made.
1t is understood, however, that the
sentiment at the meeting was opposed
to a strict declaration Of policy on pend
ing questions before such questions ac-
tually were presented for consideration

held to continue the discussion Of to-
day and after that caucus Of all
Democratic members will be held.

doubt. The officers, however, are now
making a study Of the express COM
panys delivery book, and in this way
will be able to get a satisfactory idea
as to what liquor shippers are receiv-
ing more than they can drink. 1t Is
we'll understood that most Of the tigers
are quite shrewd. and that frequently
a number Of them club together and ro-
tate, making each succeeding order in
a different name; but this and other
tricks that could be mentioned, will re-
ceive attention.
Speaking Of the incident at the ex-
press office, a gentleman who has given
more or less observation to the whole
tiger subject, said in the presence Of
the reporter on Monday: "Yes, the raid
of Constable Scoggins and Policeman
Love has checked the business Of bring
ing in whisky for tiger purposes by ex-
press; but the effect will be only tenn
porary. A period Of relaxed vigilance
and the flow through the express office
will be resumed. In the meantime, we
may look for the re-establishment, or
rather increased volume Of the jug lines
between Yorkville and North Carolina
over the public roads. For this there Is
an effective remedy II the people in the
northern part Of the county will resort
to it. There have been quite a number
Of outrages committed in this section
by Negroes on their way to and from
the still houses. Thefts and other un-
lawful acts, such as shooting into
houses, frightening and insulting wo-
men. highway robbery, etc., have been
engage in the tiger business is the class
most liable to commit these crimes.
The cross-county whisky traffic Is,
therefore, dangerous to the commune
ties through which it passes. These
communities have q right to defend
themselves, regardless of such bubbles
Of Jaw as seem to stand in the way, and
1t will be a very good idea for those
most interested to establish a rule that
q Negro with jug must give very
satisfactory account of himself or get
into trouble"
The illegal liquor traffic presents
many serious problems to people who
do not want to put stop to it; but
where the community is determined
that the business must be wiped out,
there is really not a great deal to pre-
vent.

In number Of instances, 1t has been
desirable to straighten roads, some
times by changing the location only q
few feet, and other times a few yards.
Where the land needed belongs to one
of the broad minded promoters Of the
work, there is no trouble about the
changes. Right Of way Is granted
promptly without compensation. In
other cases, however, there are refusals
to allow changes Of single inch. and
generally these refusals are without
any more substantial foundation than
pure, unadulterated meanness, based
on the hope that the supervisor will
give up a few dollars Of the county's
money rather than have the plans OF
the surveyor interfered with. 1t has
not been the policy Of the county to
pay for rights Of way, except where 1t
has been obliged to, and not few in
dividuals who have sought to levy trib-
ute in that way. have been disappoint-
ed.
Speaking Of the disposition to charge
for rights Of way in cases where the
rights of way are Of no real value to
the owners; but where, on the contrary
the owner Is being benefited by the
road improvement many times more
than a regulation right of way through
his farm would be worth, a gentleman
who has given much consideration to
the subject, said to the reporter the
other day:
II once read story Of fellow who
went to a country store with an egg
that he offered to barter. He wanted
darning needle, and the storekeeper
agreed to the exchange. After that the
darning needle man asked the store.
keeper for a treat. Being a good ma
tured kind Of a fellow, the store keep
er got down his bottle, poured out
some whisky and broke the egg into
the glass. 1t developed that the egg
had two yelks, but no note was made
Of this fact until the customer mao
drank off the good cheer, when he
smacked his lips and observed to the
storekeeper: That thar aig had two
yelks; don't you think you ought tc
give me another darnin' needle?'
Until recently" the gentleman con.
cluded, II always thought this story
was pure invention; but since have
seen men trying to make their neigh.
bors pay for a half a yard strip Of
mud, a few yards long, when those
neighbors were adding to the value OF
whole farms at the rate Of a dollar an
acre by means Of gratuitous contribu-
tions, I am inclined to believe that egg
story Is a purely matter of fact cir
cumstapce."

THERE is a good deal Of interest in
the outcome Of Admiral Schley's ap-
peal to the president. At first it was
given out that the president would
mold the papers about four days and
hand down a decision in which he
would uphold the verdict of the ma

at a hasty conclusion, the president
would study the whole case thoroughly

THE pending bill to equalize the sal
aries Of county officers throughout the
state is very important one, and pre-
sents problems that cannot be solved
without a great deal of difficulty. In
many instances salaries are too high
for the amount Of work done, and in
others they are not nearly high enough.
AS yet no one has suggested the basis
of an equitable schedule that promises
anything like general satisfaction.
