THE supreme court has handed down
its decision in the excess fare cases.
These cases involved the right Of the
railroads to make a charge Of rs cents
against passengers who failed to buy
tickets, the excess to be returned to
the passenger upon presentation of his
receipt at any ticket Office Of the COM
pany within twenty days after the
transaction. The excess fare arrange
ment was an expedient to discourage
passengers from getting on trains with
out having first purchased tickets. The
court holds that the expedient Is un-
lawful: but is very much divided In Its
opinion. AS a matter Of fact the pres
ent decision comes from the court
zen banc," composed Of the four justices
of the supreme court and seven Of the
eight circuit judges. The prevailing
opinion was delivered by Associate
Justice Gary and concurred In by
Judges Aldrich, Klugh, Dantzler, Pur-
dy and Gary. Associated Justice Jones
wrote a dissenting opinion which was
concurred in by Associate Justice
Woods Judges Townsend and Gage.

THE most significant and gratifying
development Of last Wednesdays road
convention was the manifest fact that
the people of York county are almost
unanimously in favor of special tax
levies for the improvement Of the pub
lie roads. Five years ago such a pro-
position would have received but lit
tie support in this section. Although
people then had a desire for better
roads they had not fully realized that
the only way they could get them was
to go down into their pockets after
the cash. The sentiment Of the COM
mittee on resolutions the other day
was that labor and property should
have equal shares Of the necessary
burden; that tax Of 1-mill on prop
erty was about equal to communication
tax of s1.0O, and that for every dollar
of increase in the communication tax
there should be an increase Of 1-mill
in the tax levy. The convention en-
dorsed this idea heartily, and there is
good reason to believe that this con-
vention was thoroughly representative
Of the people. Of course, we do not
look for any immediate radical changes
in present conditions: but we are free
to say that the convention has made us
feel very much encouraged with regard
to the future. The people having ex-
pressed themselves so clearly in regard
to this matter the politicians will not
longer hesitate as to the course they
must pursue if they would keep pace
with the procession.

ROCK HILL HAPPENINGS.
The catawbas and the Jaspers-Good
Roads Question-Other Matters OF
Interest.


Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
Rock HILL, July 31.-The local COM
pany-the Catawba Rifles-were joined
by the Jaspers Of Yorkville. in street
parade on their return from Columbia.
Both companies made an excellent ap-
pearance and performed several evOlu-
tions in very creditable manner.
Their stay at Camp Hayward, while the
duties may have been very eXacting in
many instances, has done the boys a
good deal Of benefit. They all reported
good time. The JaSpers left on the
1O.40 train for Yorkville.
This Is the season of picnics. The
hot weather and the quiet times have
made all who could get away. have a
keen desire to be near mother earth.
The Catawba, just at present, is the
Mecca, although several hospitable
doors have been opened in the country.
The Catawba Male academy, the mil
itary school that is to occupy the build
ings recently known as the Presbyte-
rian High school, promises a fair sue
cess already. The teachers. DR.. D. l..
Brimm, D. D.. ]. Dudley Cozby and j..
Palmer Smith, come to us with good
and established regulations as educa
tionalists, and undoubtedly are hard
workers. They are making an active
canvass in behalf of their school
throughout the state and this vicinity.
The military feature has no doubt re-
ceived tremendous impetus. especial
ly among the boys. since the recent
visit Of the S. G. M. A. cadets, and
there is no reason to doubt but that
the Catawba will receive fair measure
of success.
We are looking forward with awak-
ened interest to the 'tillup" given the
good roads question at Yorkville last
Wednesday. No one doubts the ad-
visibility of this important movement
the only question is that of feasibil-
ity. The important issue ought not to.
lay dormant or be relegated to misty
Now that the issue has
been placed upon Il practical basis let
old York awaken up and not rest un-
til the roads are an accomplished fact.
Mrs. f. S. Herbert. distinguished
of the w. G. II. U. will be in
this city for few days this week.

Editor of The Yorkville Enquirer.
Please allow me space in your COL
umns for a few lines in regard to the
"Tirzah School TaHgle," referred to in
the last issue Of THE ENQUIRER. l de-
sire to say:
l.. The board Of trustees, composed of
J. ]. Miller, T. M. Oates and R. R. AL
lison, hold their commissions, dated
read: "You have this day been appoint
ed, and are hereby commissioned, a
member Of the board Of trustees for
Tirzah School District, No. 35, until the
1st day. Of July, 1903, and until your
successor shall be appointed and quail
fed, unless sooner removed by the
County Board of Examiners, as pro-
vided by law" AS we have not been
removed, and did not question the COM
missions, we leave it for the board to
say why we are not still trustees of
Tirzah school district.
I'd. In June Of this year, we elected
or appointed, Mr.. Samuel Mitchell of
Rock Hill, as teacher for the next term
Of eight months, and in defence Of Mr..
Mitchell, will say there has not been a
erwise; but the kick is all against the
trustees for the manner in which he
was elected, and along this line will
say, it has been the custom Of the
trustees, for the past three or four
years, to consider all applications and
elect teachers without consulting the
patrons, and so far as we know this is
the only charge that has been made
against the trustees.
Sd. In regard to the special tax, our
opinion was that the tax held good un-
til there was an election held to kill 1t,
which election had to be held in May,
and as there has never been an appli-
cation for such election we thought
the tax was still legal.
4th. In regard to the trusteeship, If
the county board has acted without au-
thority, and we are not legal trustees,
and the patrons want change, we will
gladly step down and out. Respect
fully, R. R. ALLISON.

Dowager is not clear. China is a coun-
try practically without roads. Wheel
ed vehicles are rare in the interior of
China and communication between
cities is carried on on foot by the poor,
and in filters or palanquins by the rich.
However the story that the Empress
Dowager intends to escape by means of
an automobile shows that there are
grave and serious views in Peking of
the present situation, and that it may
be needful for the Chinese court to

If the Buckewe club shall succeed in
reopening the question of what form
the memorial to Mckinley shall take, it
will have accomplished a real good.
The subject was discussed in a desul-
tory sort of way, but no serious eff
forts were made to determine just how
the contributors of the funds viewed
the matter. There is a decided reac-
ton lately all over the English speak
ing world in favor of the classical idea
of statuary monuments to commence
rate the memory of the departed dead.
During the past twenty or thirty years
there has been a tendency toward what
was called the useful, the utilitarian,
and the doctrine has been assiduously
preached that a benevolent institution,
or park or something of that sort was
a more suitable memorial than statuary
monuments. And the idea has pre-
vailed long enough for results to be-
come apparent. 1t has been found
that the prevailing idea of what is an
appropriate benevolence changes with
times and conditions, and that bene-
Violence, as the years pass sometimes
becomes the cause of smile rather than
of appreciative remembrance. While
true and worthy art in statuary is
true and worthy throughout the CEN
turtles. 1t is not yet too late to re-
consider the form the memorial to Me-
Kinley should take.
