. BIG SALE
OF CATTLE.
|. w. Robson Buys 500
Feeders of Richard HOItOn.
WILL REQUIRE $4,000
Largest Sale in This County
Since Days of Long Horns.

A sale of feeders was consummated
yesterday that is thought to be the
largest single transaction in this coun-
try since the early days when Wichita
was the market for the big Texas herds
Of cattle.
Richard Holton of Haven sold to L. W.
Robinson of Towanda 200 feeders, COM
ing; years old. Mr.. Robinson had been
buying feeders at the Union stock yards
Through the commission firm of f. J.
tdealy & Co., and when the cattle came
200 slow to suit Mr.. Robinson. some of
the commission men put him on track of
Mr.. Holton's herd. The feeders were sold
for 81 per hundred. and the parties to the
trade think that when the cattle are de-
uvered tomorrow morning Mr.. Robinson
viii have to write his check for some
thing over s24 600.
Some of the best feeders that came to
this market one year ago this winter
were from the section of country around
Haven. The north part of this county is
the best part of the Kansas hard wheat
belt and the farmers turn their cattle into
the wheat fields in the fall after the
prairie grass is dried up, and of course
thai makes fine cattle.
Mr.. Robinson was in the city last night
on his way to Haven to receive the cat
tie. He said he had not determined
whether he would ship the cattle to To-
wanda in cars or drive them across the
country. 1t Is his intention to put the
cattle on full feed at once and he calcu
lstes that somebody will have a chance
~, Mi
next May.
Mr.. Robinson is one of the largest feed
ers in southern Kansas. He had 1850
feeders before this last purchase 600 of
which are now on full feed. About 13S, 900
bushels of corn will be required to feed
them all out ready for the market. All
OF the cattle feeders have hogs with their
cattle when they feed corn and most OF
them count on two hogs for three steers.
Counting on this basis and Mr.. Robin
son viii feed $3.50 hogs by the time his
cattle are ready for market.
This is just the work of one southern
Kansas. farmer and stock feeder. 1t Is
not very many years since southwestern
Kansas and Oklahoma were wild prairie
but now this same section is very i'm
portant factor in furnishing bread and
meat for the people of the world. South
ern Kansas and Oklahoma hard wheat
Il coming to be the favorite and the
beef and pork from this section can not
be excelled by any other country on
earth.
Robinson Bros. at Towanda raise fine
stock as well as to feed cattle and hogs.
]. ". and ]. c. Robinson will have a
consignment of Percheron and Shire stall
lions and Shorthorn cattle. all registered,
for the great combination sale in this
city February 5. and 5. Mr.. L. w.
Robinson said last night that his broth
ers were getting their horses in fine
shape for the sale and he gave it as his
opinion that the stock of horses. cattle
and hogs on that occasion would be the
finest ever exhibited in Wichita.

LOST SIGHT OF
A Most important Aid to Education

~
An important point often overlooke.:
by parents in bringing up children is the
use OF proper food as an aid to education.
Children make wonderful progress when
scientifically fed.

Then came a period of self-boaning
while away at college ana it is now 'rsy
to see where. in the haste to acquire
knowledge, the true knowledge of proper
and nourishing food was neglected. The
result. as may be imagined. was indiges-

ANOTHER NEW
PLANNING MILL
viii be Started in Wichita
in a Short Time.
BUILDING IS COMPLETED
And Mr.. E, R. ApDleby viii
Have Machinery Installed.
BUILDING is COMPLETED

Within a short time Wichita will have
another planning mill. The building is
now being constructed by Mr.. f. r. APP
pleby at the corner of First and Waco.
The building is 4ox5o feet and two stories
high, and is built especially for planning
mill and is so arranged that the best
work in the shortest time can be done.
There is an engine room and stock house
adjoining.
Mr.. Appleby has purchased the planning
mill at Wellington, and has moved all of
the machinery to this city. Some idea
may be secured of the size of the shop
when 1t il stated that it required three
cars to haul the machinery.
The Wellington mill was one of late
construction, and was well equipped with
the best machinery in the land. Mr.. APP
pleby has moved it to this city and Is
now working to get the machines set up
and In running order. A 40-horse power
engine has been installed to furnish the
power. Besides the machinery which
came from the Wellington mill, Mr.. APP
pleby has purchased several new ma
chimes direct from the factory and these
will be here in few days. \ part of
the machinery is installed and will be
put in running order If necessary in
few days. but Mr.. APPLY stated last
night that there would be little building
done between now and the first of March
and he would not get the mill in rIn-
ming order until that date unless he re-
ceived orders for work earlier.
Mr.. Appieby came TO Wichita in 1882
and started small mill. He did good
work and his business grew, and since
that date, twenty-one years ago. he has
been engaged in the mill business in
this city and Kingman. He is a practical
planning mill man, and understands from
his long experience all the branches of
the business.
This will give Wichita three planning
mills of large capacity.

The Farmers and the Crops-Per-
sOnal Mention.
Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
BELMONT, March 24.-The farmers
are very busy now making prepara-
tions for another crop; you can hear
'gee' and "haw." from every direction.
Some Of our neighbors are lamenting
that they did not get any wheat and
oats sown; but the saying Is what
you do not SOW, you will not have to
reap" and so with some of our farm
ers, they will not be rushed with their
crops when the harvest season is here.
The roads have been almost impass-
able for sometime; but since the recent
dry spell they have improved q great
deal and are in better fix for hauling
fertilizers.
The fruit trees are blooming beauti-
fully and it is hoped that we may have
fruit in abundance.
The young people of Belmont and In
dia Hook attended a dance at the
home Of Mr.. and Mrs. J. CrenshaW on
Thursday night and report having
delightful time.
Mrs. E. L. Barnett is suffering a
'great deal with severe case OF ton

what he had In his mind did not leak
out until some time after his visit to
Washington. Senator Jones, it Is un-
derstood, would be perfectly willing to
resign the craftsmanship at this time,
but Mr.. Bryan has been advised by his
friends that for him to seek the place
row would do no good, as the commit
tee which will direct the next campaign
will not be chosen until the next ma
tionai convention. Between now and
the time Of holding the convention the
present national committee will have
very little to do, and such duties as 1t
must perform will be purely perfume
tory. It is understood to be the Ne
braskan's plan quietly to commit to
his support such members of the pres
ent committee as he regards his special
friends, and who are likely to be, Sc
lected for the new committee. While
the committee elects the chairman, the
selection Is usually made In accord
ance with the wishes Of the nominee
for the presidency. Mr.. Bryan believes
that the next nominee will be friendly
to him, and that his standing In the
party Is such that there would be no
question Of his being chosen chair
man If he continues in his present
frame Of mind and desires the place.

insurance People Try to Dodge.

Columbia correspondence Of the
News and Courier: 1t now develops
that the state will have to sue to re-
cover on the bond Of the late Treas
urer J. s. Campbell for the amount due
to the county, which In round numbers
is $4,000. It was stated at the Begin
ming that the surety company was
willing to settle up at any time and
the comptroller general was under that
impression until the time came FOR set
tlement. Then the surety company's
representative was not 80 ready to set
tie as the first one was and after seve-
raj days negotiation It refused to pay.
The ground is that 1t Is by no means
certain that the shortage occurred at
ter the company became q surety on
the treasurer's bond, and the company
wanted the state to exhaust its en-
deavors to obtain the money from the
estate. Under the circumstances moth
ing was left but to sue,. and that VIII
be done at once. The parties to the
suit are the United States Fidelity and
Casualty company and the estate OF
James s. Campbell. With this turn OF
affairs it may be long time before
the case Is settled. These ctrcumstan-
ces have interferred with County
Treasurer Spigener taking charge or
the office. It was expected that he
would take charge yesterday. NOW ar
have been made for him
to go in on the first Of next month, but
there is no telling but what this may
be again changed before the time
comes.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1903-03-28

they do not give proper regard for
these things. For instance there are
people in trade, industry or profession
who will take dollar from a Yorkville
dry goods man or groceryman, as the
case may be, and then send that dol
lar off to some other merchant, to the
sender unknown, for goods that may
have been purchased from this same
dry goods man or groceryman. VI
course, the recipient Of the dollar gave
value received all right; but that does
not cancel further obligations. All else
being equal it is the bounden duty OF
every individual to reciprocate to the
utmost possible extent every CONNER
cial favor from another, and every
avoidable neglect Of this duty Is
wrong to all concerned.
In this discussion we are not at
tempting to deal with personal or In
dividual cases Of offense. We are
merely seeking to lay down some i'm
portant principles that are. recognized
by all sound business people as correct.
We are aware that individual Offend
ers against the principles we are de-
claring are wont to claim by way OF
excuse, that they cannot buy this and
that quality Of desired goods in York
willie because the merchants do not
keep them, etc. But as a matter or
fact this is only an excuse, pretext.
We could tell, If we chose, of the case
of lady clerk in a dry goods store VINO
bought a dress pattern from foreign
mall order house, and upon its arrival
found that she could have gotten the
identical goods from her employers
stock at less price than she paid the
foreigner. To all intents and purpos-
es, this incident applies with equal-pro-
priety to the whole class Of Offenders
with whom we are arguing, and in
stead Of reasoning with them and at
tempting to answer their many objec-
tions, we are inclined to charge that
they are governed principally by kind
of perversity that persuades them to
stand in their own light. But even II
their contentious were we'll founded, we
beg to suggest that the sole aim of the
average merchant is to please his Gus
toner, and when the customer does not
find what he or she wants the merchant
should be advised of the fact.
We think we have said enough at
this writing to give reasonably clear
idea of the expense and danger of the
evil complained Of, and to show that
the practice against which we are ir-
Weighing cuts both ways, hurting per-
verse buyers as we'll as the merchants;
but we do not propose to drop the sub
ject here. The matter Is Of very grave
to every individual In
Yorkville, as we'll as to the community
as a whole, and from time to time we
expect to touch on it again in the hope
that those Of our people who think
may eventually give it full and proper

Too Naughty to Play.

Columbia correspondence of The
News and Courier: It will be bad
news to lovers of football to know that
at the next fair there will be no game
between Clemson and the South Caro-
lima college. This game has always
been one of the big features of the
fairs and thousands of people saw the
games. So much bad spirit was engen-
dered by the last game that it has
been decided that these two teams shall
not meet again-at least for long
time yet. 1t is expected that instead Of
games between them that both teams
will play other teams here during the
fair. The South Carolina college stu
dents are very much disappointed over
the turn in affairs, as the receipts from
the Clemson Carolina games paid all
the expenses of the Athletic associa-
ton for the year.
