EUROPEANS EUcHERED AMERICANS
These are a few figures that are start
ling: On May 9, 1903, the worlds vis-
ible supply Of cotton was 3,O15,l64
bales, of which there was in America
462,563 bales. This too, in the face Of
the fact that American spinners are
consuming annually something more
than 100000 bales of which the south
takes about 100000.
Of the 462,563 bales Of the visible
supply in America, 323,S1S bales were
at the ports and hence beyond the rea-
sonable reach Of southern spinners'
leaving 13S,74S bales at interior towns,
of which a large part was at western
and northwestern interior towns, plac-
ing that part of it also practically out
Of the reach Of southern spinners.
Hence the cotton world today Is con-
fronted with this situation:. The STOCK
from which European spinners have to
draw, Liverpool and the continent
stands at 3O15,164 bales. e. The south
ern spinners' stock is less than 100000
bales.
The south ought to be the cotton
mart Of the world. Instead of that she
is practically today stripped of her
cotton and her mills and people are
dependent on buying back her own
products at figures that seem extrava-
CANT. Surely the time has come when
!..x@ &c,
must get together apd prevent the
repetition Of such a condition for the
future.-Augusta Herald.

WE have heard a good deal about
the fool farmer selling his cotton at
low prices to see 1t go up after it had
gotten into the hands of the rich spec
ulator. Well maybe it is not altogeth-
er fair to expect the farmer, who has
to put in most Of his time and thought
producing cotton, to know all about the
most advantageous time Of putting it
on the market. 1t is reasonable to
assume that the capitalist-trader who
has nothing else to do but study val
ues should be better informed on the
subject. But be all this as it may, it
would be interesting to know who is
responsible for the bringing about of
the situation under which the great
bulk Of the visible crop has gone to
Europe to be held at prices far in ex-
cess of those that took it across the
water. There is no doubt about the
fact that the farmers have been fooled
out Of their cotton for less than it was
worth; but it strikes us that others
who make far greater pretentions to
ability to get the best of what Is 60
ing have been duped little also. 1t
seems to be something Of a question
as to whether the fool farmer has
been duped any worse than the fool
American manufacturer" 1t must be

discussion now going on develops into
something definite.
The first test case Of the ordinance
against selling goods on Sunday came
up before the town council this week.
AS q matter of fact there were two
cases, both reported by Policeman
Whitener. In the first case there was
no dispute as to the facts. The de-
fendant admitted that the ordinance
had been violated. In the other case
the alleged sale involved the pur-
chase Of cigars. The defendant
denied the sale and the alleged
purchaser claimed that. he had
only borrowed the cigars to be return
ed on Monday. F. P. Mccain, however,
was employed for the defense and he
made the point that the ordinance
was unconstitutional in that it con-
flicted with the statute law aon the
same subject. w. W. Lewis, Esq, at
torney for the town maintained that
the ordinance was not unconstitution-
al. Mayor Willis, acting as judge, up
held the contention Of Mr. Mccain and
threw the case out. The situation was
reviewed at a meeting OF the council
Thursday night, and while it does not
appear that there has been any de-
finite outcome of the meeting, still 1t
is understood to be the intention Of the
council to stand by the ordinance, and
if necessary, carry the next case that
develops to the supreme court.

BECAUSE 1t has "aueered" the bus
mess of the Pristine Petrified Phe-
nomenon company, the Charlotte, N.
c., Observer may become the defend
ant in a libel suit. Quite number OF
people throughout this part Of the
state paid 10 cents each few years
ago to see an alleged petrified body Of
a man which, it was claimed had been
dug up from the side Of a creek bank
in Lexington county. The curiosity
was extensively advertised and nu-
merous people. gazed with innocent in
terest upon it. The exhibitors chal-
lenged the scientists to show hum
bug and the scientific people prov
ed that the figure had been nodded of
clay, etc., the handiwork Of man. A
few weeks back it was announced that
a petrified man had been discovered
near Asheville, N. G. OF course the
news got into the Observer pretty
quickly, and the find was extensively
advertised. Last week the Observer
printed a story which seemed to es-
tablish that the Asheville man was
the same fellow who had been dis
covered in Lexington county. The
identity is shown by photographs.
There is really no doubt Of the fact.
1t seems that after the first exposure
of the humbug, the owners Of the hoax
buried their man again with a view to
resurrecting him at the proper time.
Now that the Observer has given the
thing away they want damages by
way of compensation for their lost
time and trouble.

Works. ocroeENARIANs.

There are quite number Of people
in York county who have reached the
rather unusual age Of 80 years and it
has occurred to THE ENQUIRER that
the publication of portraits and sketch
es Of them would not only be a
source Of pleasure to them, but to
their relatives and acquaintances as
we'll. and q subject Of interest to the
general public.
After mature consideration Of the
matter we have decided to publish
such portraits and sketches Of this
kind as we may be able to procure,
and we take occasion here to invite
our readers in different parts Of the
county to help US in the matter of
making census Of these venerable
citizens, both men and women.
The most practicable method we can
think of for the collection Of the data
desired is through the cooperation of
relatives and friends Of these venera-
BILE people. II relatives and. friends
will furnish these photographs, we will
undertake to have the necessary en-
cravings made at our own expense,
and will reproduce them in The EN-
QUIRER together with such data. as
may be furnished. ..
We hope that this notice will be
taken as a most cordial invitation for
the assistance of every citizen Of the
county who is in a position to furnish
photographs and information, and we
will be very much gratified to have the
proposed census completed without
unnecessary delay.

Correspondence Of the Yorkville ENQUIRER.
Rock HILL, May 14.-Quite a num-
ber of people attended the reunion In
Columbia this week, and. from the
comments heard here 1t seems that the
occasion was a success In every way.
Citizens from this place were delighted
with the programme, and with the
treatment accorded every one.
The Rock Hill Kindergarten associ-
alton held its annual meeting this af-
ternoon at st. Johns Methodist church.
Miss MacFeat made a report of the
work done during the past year, show
great deal, and that 1t Is In fine con-
dition. President D. B. Johnson, Rev.
w. L. Lingle and Mr.. w. j. Roddey
made appropriate talks.
This association Is supported by
memberhip fees, and by entertain
ments planned by those interested.
Miss MacFeat directs the work, and 1t
Is to her credit Is due for the show
ing made.
A new mail route will be established
about June 1st, and 1t will lead into
the Bethesda section. Mr.. E. w. Co
mer has been interested In working up
the matter and will, no doubt, be made
carrier for the route.
Miss Vannie Chambers while walk
ing in the yard was tripped up, and in
falling broke her collar bone. The ac-
cident occurred Tuesday and her
friends hope that she will soon be able
to take her place at Central"

Miss Pauline Davis, daughter Of
Captain L. M. Davis, was sponsor for
Catawba camp at Columbia this week.
The annual meeting Of the stock
holders Of the Arcade Cotton Mills
was held at the company's office on
the 18th instant. The president, r. T.
Fewell, made his report Of the condi-
tion Of the company, which was very
satisfactory to the stockholders 1t
showed that the mill is in good finan-
cial condition and that the year just
closed, has been a prosperous one.
The question Of enlargement was TAX
en- up. and discussed, but on account
Of the unsettled condition Of the cot
ton goods trade, nothing definite was
done, but it is contemplated to very
luCIcStSc llc CdpdClly VI tuS
plant at some time in the future.
The stockholders did not formally
decide upon putting in an electrical
power equipment, but referred that
question to the executive committee
with power to act. There Is no doubt
about the Arcade taking the power,
however.
After declaring a semi-annual divi-
dend Of per cent, the following gen.
