NOTE AND COMMENT.

The rainfall during May just closed
has been less than for any previous
May during quite long period.
Although much cotton has been
planted throughout the county and
much of 1t shows satisfactory growth,
there is still great deal to be planted.
The delay, Of course, has been because
of the unfavorable weather. Because
Of the dryness Of the ground, many of
the cotton seed already planted, have
not yet sprouted.
ayes, sir, of course remember you.
You took my picture In 1S4S down In
Winnsboro; don't you remember the
time?" This is the greeting with
which Uncle Robin Love met Mr.. ].
R. Schorb, the veteran photographer,
in the gallery of the latter last Satur-
day. Both gentlemen are over 80
years of age, Uncle Robin having
passed sc. Mr.. Schorb replied
that he remembered; that the picture
was an old time silver type, a style Of
photography that has long since seen
it's day. Uncle Robin and Mr.. Schorb
had a pleasant chat, and then Uncle
Robin sat for picture, the first he
has had taken in thirty years.
Because of the postal scandals that
have developed in connection with the
alleged peculations of Superintendent
Machen, of the free rural delivery SER
vice. the outlook is that there will be
a material check to the heretofore rap
Id expansion Of the free rural delivery
service. It is charged that Superin-
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1903-06-03

filled with such credit. Her resignation
was because Of proposed reduction Of
an already small salary.
The election of Major James F..
Hart as a member of the board Of trus-
tees of the Yorkville Graded schools
and his prompt election to the chair
manship Of the board Is a subject for
congratulation all around. OF course,
1t would not be strictly correct to repre-
sent that any one man Is responsible
for the original organization Of the
graded school; but 1t is a fact never
theless that to Major Hart belongs the
credit more than to any other individ-
ual citizen. Major Hart took hold Of
the idea many years ago when 1t was
q much more difficult matter to or
ganize graded schools than it is now,
and after a lot Of hard work and
much bitter opposition succeeded in
engineering the thing through. The
school district was erected by spe-
cial act of the Legislature ard sy'crid!
powers were conferred upon the trus-
tees. Although the act was well suit
ed to the times and conditions, it was
subsequently amended in important
particulars up to it's present status
providing for the election Of trustees
by the qualified voters and the filling
Of vacancies In the same manner. All
the same Major Hart Is justly entitled
to be considered the father Of the In
stitution, and there is no reason to fear
that he will not, as a trustee, be gov
erned by the same considerations of
the public welfare that prompted him
In his original efforts.

tendent Machen has permitted the es-
tablishment Of many routes that were
were really not necessary, and that he
had authorized the establishment OF
numerous others of the same kind.
Postmaster General Payne Is now rep
resented as having issued orders that
will prevent the establishment OF nu-
merous routes already appointed to go
into operation on July next, and tt is
quite probable also that not a few
routes already in operation will be dis
continued as soon as the department
has had an opportunity to carefully
revise the situation.

of families in the country surrounding.
AS rule they did not have a great
deal to say while the agitation was
going on. They seemed inclined to
yield to the argument that the dispen-
sary was better than the blind tiger.
But within the past year many moth
ers have noted liquor effects that they
did not see while the business was
confined exclusively to the tigers.
Many Of them are having to contend
with drunkenness in their homes, and
knowing that the .dispensary fs entire
ly responsible, their views have be-
come definite and fixed. II the ques-
ton of doing away with the dispen-
sary and restoring old conditions were
left to the mothers of this. vicinity do
not think there would be great deal,
Of doubt as to the result"
notwithstanding the widespread ap-
prehension that has existed since early
spring, there is some good wheat to be
harvested in this county. The report
er has not sufficient information to
warrant him in saying that there
will be lots Of good wheat; but Messrs.
John F. and w. 8. Gordon have about
twenty acres that promise to yield q
good average crop. The landzwas well
prepared last fall and 1t is rich; but
month ago the Messrs. Gordon would
have been glad to take five bushels
to the acre for their crop. That was
because of the hopeless appearances
occasioned by rust. Even now the
stalks are brown, without leaves. and
show up but little green except In the
heads. The heads. however; are re-
markably well filled and there are
some acres in the twenty that promise
a yield of from 20 to Is bushels each.
The average Of the crop is likely to be
12 or Is bushels. The wheat will
probably be harvested during the pres
ent week. ~

ABOUT PEOPLE.

Mr.. w. H. Herndon Is attending the
commencement exercises at Winthrop
this week.
Mrs. J. P. Knox, of Columbia, is In
Yorkville on a visit to Mrs. Fannie B.
McCaw. Rev. ]. P. Knox Is expected
to arrive in Yorkville today for a few
days stay.
Mr.. G. P. Brown, proprietor Of the
Anderson Mail, was in Yorkville on
Monday, having come here looking for
bargains in. the sale Of the Yeoman
plant. He only made few small pur-
chases, however.
Rev. J. C. Johnes left for Rock Hill
yesterday morning. He will not re-
turn to Yorkville for about two weeks
because he will have to attend the
Greenville convocation, which meets at
Abbeville in the meantime.
Miss Helen Riddle, Of Zeno, spent
from Saturday until yesterday In
Yorkville with relatives and friends,
as also did Master Frank Riddle, who
at present is making his home with
his grandfather, Mr.. G. L. Riddle.
Miss Eula Dobson, who during the
past year has acceptably filled the po-
sition of first assistant teacher in the
schools at Sallys, returned to her
home near Yorkville last Saturday.
Miss Dobson has been reelected for
the coming year.
Miss N. Belle Kennedy has returned
from Easley, Miss R. Emma Kennedy
has returned from Hardeeville and
Miss Amelia Kennedy has returned
from Kingstree. These young ladies
have been teaching at the towns
named, and they will probably return
to their respective schools next year.
There is much regret in Yorkville
that Miss Margaret Daniel Is not to
continue as teacher in the Graded
school. During her two years in York.
Vile, Miss Daniel has impressed ma
jority Of the people qualified to judge
Of such matters with Il conviction that
she Is teacher Of more than ordinary
fitness and ability, and 1t was sincerely
hoped by many that she would be re-
tanned in the position which she has

IT looks as If the Democratic party
still has a heavy task before 1t can
consider itself as having been pulled
together. There is no hope Of sue
cess without some kind of compro-
mise between the elements represented
by Cleveland and Bryan respectively,
and although it Is a fact that Bryan
has polled more votes than has ever
been polled by Cleveland, still there
is good reason for believing that
Cleveland, or some man Of his way of
thinking, stands a better show Of ac-
tual success than does Bryan or any
man Of his way of thinking. That has
been the experience Of the past and
there has been no striking evidence of
any material change in the situation

SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS.
Newspapers.

The requirement. Of the Spartan
burg Herald by joint stock company
under the general management of
Rev. G. H. Waddell, has been follow
ed by some important newspaper
changes in Spartanburg. Mr.. Zack
McGhee, at present editor Of the Ed
ucational and travelling representative
of the News and Courier, has been
elected as editor of the Herald, and
Mr.. ]. C. Darlington, who has been
editor Of the paper since the COM
mencement Of it's publication as a

Dick Morse in Spartanburg.
Spartanburg Herald, Goth: Dick
Morse, the well-known temperance
lecturer, Is in the city. Yesterday af-
ternoon he talked on temperance and
the evils of strong drink, selecting as
his stand a spot in the square of the
city near the fountain. He drew a
large crowd, and the majority of his
auditors were held to the spot by his
earnest, forceful and original express
sions. His philippe against drink was
emphasized and punctuated with pic
lures drawn by the speaker, portray
ing in allegorical style the fate OF the
hypocrite, the drunkard and the license
voter. Mr. Morse sees no difference
between the saloon open in North Car
olina and the dispensary in South Car
olina. He expects to remain In the
city for several days and wage fear
less war against the sale Of whisky.
The Governor and tho Orphans.
Columbia State, June 1: The little
ones who call the Thornwell orphan
age "home" have tender regard for
the governor of their state. A pretty
story is told by gentleman who was
in Clinton recently, story which
shows how easily and how gracefully
Governor Hayward makes friends. On
the occasion of the annual Sunday
school celebration in Clinton, Govern
or Hayward was the invited orator,
for DR.. Jacobs, the leader in all good
works in Clinton, knew that the gov
ernor had himself been a Sunday
school superintendent. The audito-
rum was filled to overflowing and an
even larger crowd could not get IN.
For their benefit Governor Hayward
was asked 20 make talk out under
the trees. The visit to the orphanage
was more Of a pleasure to the goVer-
nor than to the little ones, who were
themselves delighted, and in apprecia-
tion Of the pleasure given his little
wards DR.. Jacobs thrust into the gov
ernor's hand a blank envelope just as
the latter was boarding the train on
his return to Columbia. The envelope
contained check covering the COVER
nor's expenses. The great hearted
president Of the orphanage was very
much affected the following day when
his own check was returned and at
tached thereto was a contribution Of
substantial amount signed by the gov
ernor of the state. The check, with
the governors autograph, has been
framed (after it was cashed, Of course)
and occupies a conspicuous place
where it will remind the motherless
and fatherless little ones of the visit
of the governor.

YORKvILLE, 8. O.:
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 3, 1903.

COLONIAL Secretary Chamberlain has
raised the protective tariff issue IN
free trade England again, and while
the suggestion does not take like wild
fire, there is no doubt Of the fact that
1t is going to occasion another terrible
political fight, equal in proportions
and results to that which made free
trade the policy Of the country. Mr..
Chamberlain's protective tariff propo-
sition is coupled with another propo-
sition looking to the payment by the
government of pensions to persons in
capacitated from earning livelihood
by reason of old age.

FLOOD AND FIRE.
Kansas City, Mo, and Topeka, Kan.
Suffer Terrible Disaster.

Kansas StTyJ Wpo', anu sSPSNo' '>'
Suffer Terrible Disaster.
Although unprecedented in volume
the remarkable flood that swept doWr
the Mississippi few weeks ago, has
been eclipsed in destructiveness dur
ing the past few days by the swollen
rivers Of Oklahoma, Indian Territory
Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and Iowa
Heavy rains began to fall in the ter
ritory indicated during the early part
Of last week, and they continued until
all the streams were full. The various
streams n the country affected empty
into the Missouri and Kansas rivers
and both Of these rivers were quickly
raised to flood conditions. BY Thurs.
day night the stage of the water be.
gan to threaten danger, and on Friday
morning almost the entire population
Of the valleys had found 1t prudent to
take refuge in the higher land several
miles away.
Low lying Topeka, the capital OF
Kansas, began to feel the effects OF
the flood on Thursday evening. Al
first the people were not especially
frightened. They had seen floods be-
fore and thought this one would be
another of the same kind. BY Friday
morning. however, the waters had
reached the disastrous levels of 1881
and people who had neglected to take
measures to save their goods found
that they would have to hasten If they
would save their lives. Thousands
took refuge on the house tops and 9TH
ers climbed trees. Before Friday was
over many streets of the city were
from four to fifteen feet under water
Then fires began to break out and
there was no way to fight the flames
There followed a horrible night, In
which a mighty waste Of waters were
lighted up by burning homes and bus
mess houses. The whole lower portion
Of the city echoed with distressful
cries for help, and the pistol shots
fired for the purpose of attracting at
tention to people on house tops and in
trees, sounded like a battle. All OF
the reports are not in yet; but the loss
of life during Friday, Saturday and
Sunday is estimated at not less than
200, and the property loss is put down
as between s4,000,0OO and $6,0O0,O00.
Dispatches of Sunday and Monday
from Kansas City, Mo-, and Kansas
City, Kan, describe the same condi-
tions in both cities. The cities are at
the confluence of the Kow or Kansas,
and Missouri rivers. The water had
reached the 80 foot stage by Sunday
night. The electric power plants were
put out Of business and all Of the
street car lines had to suspend opera
tions. Fire broke out at different
points, and buildings crumbled as the
result Of the soaking. The loss of life
Is not thought to have been so great
as in Topeka; but the number of
drowned can hardly be less than SO or
IS. The property loss is in the neigh
borhood of 100000.
