HOOD B1LL.-The Democratic members
Of the senate committee on postoffices
held a meeting Wednesday with repre-
sentatives Of the Republican element In
the senate favorable to the omnibus
statehood bill and discussed the possi-
bility Of reading q compromise accept
able to all parties. The Democratic
members of the conference assured the
Republicans that the rejection Of the
settlement proposed by the Republic
can side Of the senate as whole was
final. They were then requested to
suggest basis Of agreement them
selves. Replying that they could speak
only for themselves, the Democrats
suggested that New Mexico and Arizo-
ma might be admitted as one state with
the understanding that Arizona may
become a separate state on the attain
ment of a population Of 100000 within
the present area Of that territory and
upon the vote Of the people of that area
alone. The Republican conferees prom
ised to present the suggestion to other

To Make Finer Yarn.

The York Cotton mills have recently
completed a large annex to their main
building with view to installing
"combers" with the aid Of which they
will be able to turn out a much finer
grade Of yarn than heretofore. The
new machinery, which will probably be
in operation by the first Of May, Is es-
pecially adapted to the working Of
Egyptian cotton, a large proportion Of
which will hereafter be used in most Of
the yarns manufactured by these mills.

GEN. BOOTH THREATENS THE RICH
In an address at the fremont Temple,
Boston, Tuesday evening, at which
Gov. Bates, Of Massachusetts,, presided,
Gen. William Booth of the Salvation
Army startled his hearers with the fol-
lowing:
I'VE have in our shelters at this time
more than $4,000 criminals, and If the
rich do not give us enough funds to
carry on our work we will turn loose
the $4,000 men and give them the ad-
dresses Of these rich.
'The trouble with the ministers or
the different churches" continued Gen.
Booth, "is that they say so little OF
heaven and hell. The ministers should
give talks on the Salvation Army and
advocate its broad policies and princi-
Piles and take up collections and send
us money. The work of the army does
not represent any fad in religion, but
a religion based on the original laws or
God. The army has a method OF Its
own, and that is, to preach Christian
ity where there Is no religion and to
bring those to Christ who have no
Church"

YORKVILLE IN 1870.

A paper Of curious local interest has
been handed into this Office by Miss
Agnes Bludworth, Of Yorkville. It is
carriers address to the patrons OF
THE YoRKvILLE ENQUIRER, on January
1, 1870. To younger readers who do not
know, it will be proper to explain that
formerly it was the custom Of carrier
boys to issue and sell such addresses
annually, and take the proceeds as pay
for their services during the previous
year. These addresses were usually
filled with good natured humor, and
always received in that spirit. When
this one was written, there was no
idea probably that it would ever be Of
historic interest; but that such is the
case now there will be no question by
those Of our readers of today who re-
member the community as 1t was pic
tured then. This is the address In full:
With tireless pace old Time moves on;
Another year has come and gone,
Since last the carrier doffed his hat
To give his friends a social chat.
So quietly the moments flow,
It hardly seems so long ago.
I hope you all feel we'll at present
And that the year to you was pleasant.
AS for myself, I feel quite thankful,
Although haven't got bank full.
I can't say have made much cash;
But have raised fine moustache,
Which, with q little care and trimmin +,
Will make me shine among the women.
The very idea makes my frisky;
But don't suppose I'm filled with whis-
key.
And don't think I am getting proud,
Although my Dragging may sound loud.
You must excuse little blowing
Enlargement Is the fashion growing.
Seven columns added to the paper!
1.-THE devil" we'll may cut caper.
Perhaps you want to know the reason
THE ENQUIRER is enlarged this season,
o, well, you see, our business men
Have learned to sell goods by the pen,
And then there's SO much legal fighting
Which has to be reduced to writing,
That advertisers fill our space,
And leave the Editor no place
To ventilate his curious views
Upon "the goose" or tell the news.
For instance, there Is Sheriff Glenn,
Who deals in lands of other men
And offers tracts" twelve times year,
For those who can't read titles clear.
Then there's Frank Harris, Probate
Judge,

GROUND UNDER CAR WHEBLs.-At l
o'clock yesterday morning the mutilated
body of Negro man was found on the
tracks Of the Southern Railway COM
pany, about two blocks south OF the
passenger depot in this city. The body
was carried to the undertaking estab-
lishment Of sgd Coles, on West Fifth
street, and early in the morning when
the news began circulating among the
Negro population that there was dead
man at Coles Office, the callers began
going there in stream. The Negroes
face was badly crushed, one OF his
arms was mashed and his body had
been cut almost half in two. During
the day possible 1000 Charlotte Me-
groes viewed the body, but not one was
able to identify it.
Later in the day several Of the COL
ored people who saw the body said that
they recognized it as that of Negro
who they had seen at work at the Ca
tawba Power plant, on the Catawba
near Rock Hill. The body was buried
in the county home burial yard.
Railroad men say that the Negro was
probably run over by a shifting engine
in the Southern's yard, about II o'clock
Tuesday night, though the body was
not discovered until about l o'clock IN
the morning. The Negro Is believed to
have been asleep ON the track when the
shifting engine struck. him.-Charlotte
Observer, Thursday.

JULY COTTON 10 CENTs.-July cotton
sold at 1907 on the New Orleans Ex-
change last Thursday and at $50 on the
New York Exchange. The story Of
Thursdays business on the New York
Exchange is told in an Associated Press
dispatch as follows:
The cotton market opened firm at an
advance of to IL points on the sur
prise Of the Liverpool advance, support
ing the English market at the hour Of
the New York opening about 4 points
better than expected. There was a
scrambling to cover in the local mar
ket, with some additional buying by the
clique interest. Public orders were
scarce and business soon dropped of
to local operations. Whenever pool
support was withdrawn the market at
once became easier. Early estimates
pointed to port receipts Of 18,00 bales,
against 24,250 last year. Weather con-
ditions were unfavorable, heavy rains
being reported over the western and
central portions Of the belt with the
range from trace to $50 inches. Tenn
peratures, however, were seasonable,
ranging from "a to 60 degrees. Com
mission houses appear to be holding of
for developments.
At noon the market was feverish,
with bull leaders still buying May and
July again, with sales Of August as
rapidly as the market would absorb
these offerings. The commission houses
had very little business, fear Of manip-
ulation serving to check investors.

FRIEND OF THE "YALLER DoG."-The
mantle Of Josh Ashley has fallen or
the shoulders Of Senator Dennis, OF
Berkeley, and right we'll does it fit him
AS champion Of the "yaller dog, OF
the poor white man and nigger," he
has proven himself a great success
having persuaded the senate to kill q
bill putting a tax on worthless ours
The bill passed the house and went
through second reading in the senate
without opposition, but at the last hour
Senator Dennis opposed the bill with a
speech which turned enough senators to
his side to secure the defeat Of the bill
We cannot understand how any man
can arouse in himself so much emotion
over such a subject as the senator did,
and 1t is really wonderful that men
should allow their judgment to be
swayed after hearing such stuff, but 1t
seems to be a fact that whenever any
one gets up and spouts and fumes about
the poor man and his dog that it is i'm
possible to enact legislation against the
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1903-02-28

worthless ours that infest the whole
state. Senator Dennis special plea for
the Negro and his dog would no doubt
have touched tender spot in Presi-
dent Roosevelt's heart, but it Is sur
prising that South Carolinians should
be so Influenced by it as to cause their
better judgment to be affected, and
make them reverse their action pre-
viously taken. The senate at least has
put itself on an .unenviable record as
favoring the perpetuation and increase
Of worthless dogs rather than sheep
and other domestic animals and fowls
