ey as they passed by. After reaching
the City of Mexico they found that the
poverty and want of the really poorer
classes was even worse than they had
previously realized and they took up
the work Of going into huts and aston
ishing the inmates by leaving dona-
tions Of money. Not satisfied with
this Mr.. Rockefeller went to one Of the
banks and procured a number of sacks
Of SIS and SO gold pieces. In the
meantime the astonishing prodigality
of the wealthy Americans had been
advertised far and wide among the
Mexicans and great mobs of people
gathered for a share of the golden
shower that followed. The money was
distributed right and left, and even
reasonably well-to-do people were par
ticipants of the remarkable bounty. 1t
is a pretty story and considering the
fabulous wealth of the Rockefellers we
do not mucn doubt its truth; but some
how we do not think much Of such a
display as this. Any numbskull with
lots Of money can give it away with
out discrimination to people who have
no appreciation Of its proper uses, and
such a man is not entitled to credit
even for the possession Of a respecta7
BILE vanity. If these people would do
the Mexicans real good, or anybody
else for that matter, they would use
their surplus cash in the establishment
OF means to provide steady honest en-
ployment where people who are willing
to work can get fair wages for their
labor.

If we were given to predictions, we
would prophesy that the feeling that is
being engendered between the United
States and Germany by high naval Of
ficers will eventually lead to war. The
war may be a long time coming; but
it will come just so surely as high ma
val authorities continue their irrespon-
sible talk. There is no need for such
a war as is suggested and there will be
no sense in it; but so surely as the
American public becomes imbued with
the spirit that is being inculcated by
the naval authorities, the clash will be-
come q certainty.

Correspondence Of the Yorkville ENQUIRER.
Rock HILL, April 2.-The game OF
ball between the K. M. M. A. boys and
a team from Horner Military school
resulted in a score Of IL to S In favor
of the Tar Heels. 1t was seen from the
outset that the Horner men would
win, for they were playing such ven
cradle ball men as "Davie" Crockett
and Osteen who have played here as
professionals. The in field Of HorneI
was made up Of such old timers. Yet
the star play Of the game was a beau
Moore, Of Yorkville. This play with
another ball over short made up for his
two costly errors on third. Neil on
second played good steady game, and
McFadden on first did fine work with
both bat and ball. K. M. M. AS pitch
er was not hit heavy, and the big score
made by Horner was not due to base
bits. The score by innings was as fol-
lows:
Horner SO 90 002
K. M. M. A. 0 0 3 0 0 0 0
Dave Crockett's error in the ninth
made it possible for the K. M. M. A
boys to score the runs In the last In
ping.
C Among those who came over from
Yorkville to see the game were Misses
Laura and Lilly Parish, Louise Lowry,
Drs. John Barron and John Bowen
rMessrs. w. B. Moore and Paul McNeel
- Mr.. John Williams, Of Fodder, was
in Rock Hill today.
, Mr.. R. D. Owens left this morning
for a six weeks trip to Mississippi. He
will spend his time with an uncle, Mr.,
Allen G. Owens, Of Owens, Miss.
Jim Reynolds, a colored brakeman
on the Southern railroad had his right
arm so badly mangled here Wednes-
day that it was necessary to amputate
the limb. He was running on No. &c
going south, and at the time Of the
accident was trying to make a coup
ling. He tried to push the clamps OF
the coupling and his arm was caught
as the cars came together. He was
taken to DR.. Crawfords office where
the operation was successfully per-
formed.
Rev. Frank Waddell, of Piedmont,
was in Rock Hill today, renewing the
many strong friendships formed while
he was in the office Of w. ]. Roddey.

REPORTS from southeastern Europe
seem to indicate that the political Sit

years. The Albanians and Macedon-

government, and the sultan is sending
large forces to put down the insurrec-
ton. There has already. been some
heavy fighting, and the excitement Is
such as to warrant the expectation that

Charlotte Observer. Thursday: r. B.
Ussery, young white mill operative,
of Rock Hill, s. c., came to Charlotte
mediately to lay In very ample sup.
ply of corn whisky. He became ex-
ceedingly drunk and when he awoke
he was in the city police station and
the. $85 which he claimed he brought
with him was missing. He was ar
raigned before Recorder ShannonhouseJ
yesterday morning and made to pay
the costs for the case against him for
drunkenness. The officers think that
the story Ussery told about the mon
ey Is true. He was a weaver in q cot
ton mill at Rock Hill and could easily
have saved the $85. When he left the

Mix is 20.
