The first question asked each patron Of

to pay.

"Avete danaro2" he asks the next.

A woman comes up crying to say that

HOGs-There was a light run OF hogs
here today even for "A Saturday, but this
was expected after the excessive receipts
of the last few days. The market opened
a big lOc higher and ruled strong and active
throughout the day. There were no hogs
OF very good quality on sale, but all classes
sold readily at fast as they arrived. Light
and common loads sold largely from S5.75
TO $5.71h, Good heavy hogs went mostly
around S.9M5.S2l2, and one little bunch
averaging $50 pounds brought S6.95. Every
thing was sold and weighed VI by II
o'clock.
For the week receipts of hogs have been
very liberal, as there is an increase as
compared with iast week amounting to
about 5000 head, and as compared with
the same week of last year the increase
amounts to about LOCO head. For the
month OF Ma there is an increase over
last May amounting TO about 1900 head.
For the year to date the decrease I'm hogs
amounts to only about 1O2,O03 head.
The tendency Of prices has been de-
cldedly downward all this month, and IN
tact the break has been the most dis
astrous of any that has been experienced
I'm a long time. With the exception of
three days prices broke every day during
The month. and the total loss amounts 10
a little over 81. which carries prices 10
the lowest point reached since November
a., 1901. As compared with n year ago the
market is $3.50 lower. Representative sales:

CATTLE-There were only a few odd
punches OF cattle in the yards this mornins,
so q test of the market was not made. For
the week receipts have been very liberal,
as there Is a gain over last week amount
ing to about $500 head and as compared
with the same week of last year the in
crease amounts to about 6,OW head. For
the month OF May receipts have been very
heavy and have broken all previous rec
ords for that month except one. In May,
1890, there were $1,000 cattle against i5'UVO
this year, but as compared with May OF
last year there Is an increase OF 5000 head.
The table OF receipts above Will show the
exact figures.
very uneven and prices have fuctuated
back and forth quite rapidly. At the
close of the week it Is sale to quote steers
generally l0al5c lower Than the close or
last week. All kinds have suffered, but the
good handy weights have been In the best
demand, while the heavy cattle have been
neglected. The grades OF cattle
sell largely from $500 TO s435, fair to good
from $40 to $3.50 and good to choice from
The COW market has also been moving
up and down at a rapid rate and for the
week prices show a net loss OF l5u20c. The
medium grades, such as have been selling
from 1915 to $500, nave suffered about the
worst, but still all kinds are lower eX-
cept Gamers, which have sold readily all
the week at steady prices. The
grades of COWS sell largely from 500 10

There have been very few stockers and
feeders on sale this week, so that prices
have held steady on desirable grades IN
spite of the fact that the demand has not
been very heavy. Thin cattle IN particular
have been scarce and choice grades could
be quoted strong, but the warmed up corr
feds have been rather neglected and are
no more than steady. Common grades are

ships to issue bonds; but up to this
time the general assembly has not
seen proper to provide the machinery.
The only thing that can be done as
matters stand now, Is to get permis-
sion from the general assembly,
through the request of the county
commissioners to levy additional taxes
for road purposes.
But the most pleasing and gratify-
ing speech of the occasion probably
was that Of Mr.. A. Freidheim, who,
with. possibly single exception, is the
largest individual taxpayer Of the
county: At the request of members of
the company, Mr.. Freidheim spoke in
terestingly Of the splendid roads of
Hanover, Germany, where he was born
and where e.spent his early youth,
and he wound up his talk with this
statement, But the only way to get
good roads is by taxation, and am
in favor of that plan."
The sentiment Of the company gen.
orally seemed to be strongly in favor of
the taxation idea, and the outlook is
that If the proposed good roads con-
vention meets with the favor that is
hoped for, there will be organized a
Good Roads association, and eventual
ly the problem will be reduced down
to it's proper solution-either liberal
road tax or bonds.

NOTE AND COMMENT.

The engineering work at the INC
Kinney" hill between Yorkville and
Tirzah would do credit to modern
railroad. Not only was the tack Of
the engineer well-performed; but the
chaingang did its task in most cred
liable manner.
People who live on the Charlotte
road within five miles Of Yorkville, are
able to come to Yorkville with loaded
wagon any time In the winter, regard
less Of the weather. This Is an advan-
tage that Is enjoyed by the people Of
few localities.
Tho improved condition of the public
road between Yorkville and Rock Hill
as compared with two years ago Is
most striking. No man who has ever
been over this road before the compile
ton Of the recent Improvements can go
over it now without noting the change.
Formerly there were places in the road
over which a team could draw a vehi-
Gle only with the most laborious exer-
tion. Now there Is not so. much as q
hundred yards of road in the whole
distance over which fresh team can
not travel comfortably at a swift trot
and a bicycle rider Of ordinary expert
pertness can easily travel the. entire
distance between Yorkville and Rock
Hill without having to dismount at
any point on the road.

THE ISLE OE PALMS.

Col. Robert w. Hunt, of the South
ern railroad, and Col. S. G. Cohen, rep
resentfng the Consolidated railroad
and the Isle Of Palms, spent Thursday
in Yorkville filling the billboards with
matter descriptive of Charleston's
great summer resort.
Col. Cohen Is enthusiastic over the
outlook for the Isle of Palms, which,
he says, Is now without q doubt the
most delightful coast resort in Ameri-
ca. The natural advantages Of the
place are confessedly superior to any
other point on the Atlantic, and the
beach is admitted by all except people
who are directly interested, to be one
of the finest in the world. The i'm
mense extent of 1t, the character Of the
sandy bottom. the gentle slope far
out into the sea, and the almost COM
plete absence of undertow make a de-
gree Of perfection that could not be
excelled even II 1t were possible for
the most critical authority on such
illdllcES " SIcdlc luc "hOlS
ings to special order.
Although this resort has become de-
servedly famous during the past few
years as the result Of the broad and
liberal management in charge Of it,
Col. Cohen gives assurance that during
the season now opening 1t will surpass
itself. There have been extensive i'm
provements in the hotel and cafe, and
arrangements have been made for
military bands, opera, vaudeville and
sports Of every conceivable descrip-
ton.
Col. Hunt backs up Col. Cohen in all
he has to say and in addition promises
that the Southern railroad, by means
Of the best possible service and re-
markably low rates, proposes to do
everything in reason to put the de-
lights Of the Isle Of Palms at easy
access to the people Of the up country.

For Better Roads.

AS will be seen from the official min
utes published in another column, the
Commercial Club Of Rock Hill, has un-
dertaken to launch a movement look
ing to the improvement Of the public
highways Of York county.
A member Of THE ENQUIRER staff
had the honor to be present at the din
ner at which the movement under
consideration was launched, and heard
some talks which not only contained
more or less valuable information; but
which also gave evidence that leading
business men and property owners
have begun to take a most commend
able interest in this important ques-
ton.
Congressman Finley said, in the
course Of his remarks that he had be-
come convinced that there would be
very little improvement in our road
working system until the country
should see proper to vote sufficient
road taxes or to issue road bonds. He
did not want to be understood as ad-
vocating anything Of the kind, be-
cause he felt that the question was one
for the settlement of the people them
selves in their own way; but still he
felt no hesitation in saying that there
can be no considerable road improve
ment except by taxation.
Major James F. Hart also advocated
taxation as the only practical solution
of the problem. He pictured the alb
surdity Of a system that sought to tax
labor alone for the benefit Of property
and thought there should be a system
that would equalize the burden. Re-
ferring to the matter Of bond issue,
however, he called attention to the
fact that there is no authority for such
thing now, even with the consent OF
the people. There must be some en-
abling legislation before there can be
bond issue. The constitution guar

suLLY, THE COTTON KING.
Career of the Man Who Engineered the
Remarkable Rise.

Four months ago Daniel ]. Sully
came to New York from Providence, X.
1. At that time his name was un-
known outside Of his own state ana a
few business friends in the metropolis.
He entered the cotton market, ana
within three weeks he was king.
In three months he raised the price
Of cotton from S.S1 cents a pound to
more than II cents pound, increas-
ing the market value of the staple by
over $130,OOO,000.
Daniel j. Sully is in some respects
the most remarkable figure which mas
ever appeared on Wall street. He Is
the perfect type Of the modern cap
tain of industry" sober, quiet, we'll
dressed, always confident, ever tireless
and energetic.
He is AZ years old. He has three
children and several million DOLLARS
not a bad achievement for a man or
that age.
Mr.. Sully's knowledge Of the cotton
business is very intimate. His conne2-
ton with the staple began with Dis
marriage, at "a years Of age, to Miss
Emma Frances Thompson, only daugh-
ter Of Col. David M. Thompson, mana
ger of the Charles Knight Cotton
mills.
1t seems plain enough that Mr.. Sui
ly's marriage was a master-stroke'
At all events, it gave him an oppor-
tunity of learning about the great
staple which was to make him hnan-
cial king.
After studying cotton in the south
for two years, Mr.. Sully entered the
business, first in Boston, and a1ter-
wards at Providence, rising rapidly
and becoming successful In CONNER
cial way, though as yet unknown 10
the public.
He came to New York about the
middle of January, having formed q
strong pool to advance the staple. HIS
subsequent career is common knowl-
edge.
Such men are not mere Hleteors.
They fill their peculiar Office In the
economy Of the commercial world.
The success Of Sully was not the
success of the gambler, who hazards
on a blind throw. He had studied cot
ton for years. He had mastered the
subject, and he saw that the market
was ready for an advance. His re-
ward is, therefore, to a large extent
the reward Of superior foresight and
knowledge. Speculator though he Is,
his success Is the fruition of long stu
dy and hard Work.-Atlanta Journal.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1903-05-23

ALTHOUGH we are of opinion that
York county could not make a better
or more profitable move than to vote
a large bond issue for the improvement
Of the public roads, 1t Is just as we'll
for those who may be opposed to any
thing Of the kind to understand that
there is no need for present excite
ment. Even if every voter in York
county should be heartily. in favor of
the proposition it would likely be
years before it could be carried into
effect. Although the constitution un-
dertakes to permit the issuance Of road
bonds, the general assembly has new
er provided the necessary machinery
to carry this privilege into effect.
There are various reasons for this neg
lect; but we shall not attempt to dis
cuss them now. 1t Is sufficient to re-
mark that it will be necessary to ed
ucate the whole state up to the stand
ard Of the more progressive people OF
York county, before the general as
sembly can be induced to carry out
the constitution in this regard. After
the gentlemen Of the general assembly
have provided the machinery which
they have all along been under SOL
emn obligation to provide, it will take
a lot more argument and persuasion
to get majority Of the people up to
the point where they will be willing
to mortgage their property for such a
purpose. But still the case is not hope
less. The people Of York county have
made wonderful progress In the direc-
ton Of better roads during the past
few years and the leaven is Of char
acter that will spread.

WITHIN THE TOWN.

Business has not been especially
brisk during the past few days. The
country people have been busy.
The street committee Of the town
council has been doing some vary
work the past few days,
wetting down the dust that makes
Main street so uncomfortable. II is
no doubt the purpose Of the council
to keep the work up until the street
sprinkling wagon arrives.
The Wages Family" appeared in
the opera house last Wednesday and
Thursday nights, but because Of the
interest in the meetings in progress in
the Presbyterian church did not be-
gin their entertainments until after 9
o'clock. There were fairly good sized
audiences in attendance and were
very appreciative. The entertainments
were simply first-class. Everybody
was delighted.
