ALTHOUGH we have no idea that no
extensive interests in this section are
affected thereby, still the advertise
ment of Secretary Wilson, Of the agri-
cultural department, in another COL
umn, is of very material Importance 10
cattle raisers who may be considering
the shipment Of stock beyond the bor-
ders of the state. We are not aware OF
widespread prevalence Of contagious
disease among the cattle Of the state
and We know Of no such trouble what
ever in this immediate section; but still
under acts of congress the agricultural
department has power to establish
quarantine against interstate traHic In
cattle whenever 1t sees proper to do
so, and people who happen to violate
this quarantine, after due notice, are
in danger Of being put to no little
trouble. Just what regulations apply
to the subject, we are not in posi-
ton to explain, and can only suggest
that such of our readers as may be es-
pecially interested will do well to write
to the agricultural department for full
information.

Mr.. P. H. Nelson, Of counsel for the
defense said that nothing was to be
gained by having the arraignment at
this time and that in case the defense
wished to attack the validity Of the
grand jury or desired to make any
other motion that according to the
decision in the seth South Carolina
that such a motion had to be made
prior to the arraignment and that
counsel did not yet know what motion
it may have occasion later on to make
and as the case had already been con-
tinued absolutely nothing could be
gained by having the arraignment to-
day.
Judge Klugh agreed in this view, and
said that he would mark the case
against James H. Tillman continued
and that ended the matter for this
term Of court.
Counsel for the defense was asked If
application for bail would be made In
view of the continuance Of the case
and it was stated that there was not
any intention to make further applica-
tion for bail, and likely such a move
would not be made.
Col. James H. Tillman came into
court quite early. He was accom-
panied to the courtroom by Senator b
R. Tilman, who sat at his side during
the hearing this morning. George w
Croft and Patrick H. Nelson conducted
the presentation Of the motion for Till
man this morning. To all appearances
Tillman looks as we'll as ever after
his confinement in the county Jail since
January. He was well dressed and In
good spirits and talked freely with his
counsel during the progress Of the
hearing. .
Solicitor Thurmond and Colonel An
drew Crawford presented the case fol
the state. Continuance of the case un-
til next term Of court could In itself
mean nothing and for the defense nc
importance whatever Is to be attached
to the motion for the continuance OF
the case, except for the policy of delay
The state made it manifest throughout
the entire hearing that it was ready
and anxious to 60 to trial and that any
delay was at solicitation Of the defense
Capt. White is in bad physical con-
dition and may not be able to be here
at any trial. The expectation Of the
state was to call the case on Monday
next and not until then, but today's
postponement Is final until next July.

President Hides Himself In the Great
Yellowstone Park.
President Roosevelt is in the fast
ness Of Yellowstone park and for the
next sixteen days he expects to enjoy
complete rest and cessation from pub
lie duties, says a Cinnabar, Montana,
dispatch of Wednesday. He will be In
almost daily communication with Sec
retary Loeb at Cinnabar, but nothing
except of the utmost Importance will
be referred to him. In company with
John Burroughs, the naturalist, who
accompanied him from Washington, he
will study closely the nature Of the
various animals that inhabit the park.
The president has looked forward to
this outing for some time and he was
in a particularly happy frame Of mind
when he led the cavalcade into the
park today. Every trail leading into
the preserve will be. closely guarded
and no one will be allowed to disturb
the presidents solitude. His headquar-
ters will be at the home Of Major
Pitcher the superintendent of the park
Several camps have been established
in different localities and these will be
occupied by the president from time
to time.
The special train bearing the presi-
dent and his party arrived at Gard
ner, the entrance to the park, at 1890
o'clock this afternoon and was met by
a detachment Of the Third cavalry and
a number of cowboys. Maj. Pitcher
also was on hand to welcome the pres
ident. Luncheon was served in the
presidents car after which, dressed in
riding breeches and coat, with a light
colored slouch hat on his head he
mounted his horse and made q brief
address to the people congregated near
his train. He then bade the members
of his party goodbye and led the way
into the park. Mr.. Burroughs follow
ed in an army wagon. The train re-
turns to Cinnabar, where Secretary
Loeb and the members of the party
will live in it while the president is
absent.
The president will start on his trip
to st. Louis and the Pacific coast on
April "a. The weather here Is very
mild and reports from the park are to
the effect that there is but little snow

at would interest you," remarked
a gentleman who is well informed on
the subject, to the reporter the other
day, Ito have some idea Of the devel-
opment there has been in the chicken
industry in this immediate section dur
ing the past few years. OF course,
there have always been people here
who have paid more or less attention
to chickens and who were more or less
successful with them. But that Is not
the point Of interest. Less than ten
years ago it was a rare thing to find
any of the improved breeds of chick
ems in this part Of the country out.
side Of the pens Of some few private
fanciers. The country people gave
their attention principally to old nom
descript varieties and it was rare that
you would find anybody who looked
regularly after fowls Of any kind.
Now, in whatever direction you go, you
will find the improved breeds Of Leg
horns, Plymouth Rocks and Wyandottes
and you will also find lots Of people
who look after their chickens as care
fully and inteligently as they do after
their horses and cattle. AS rule, 1t
is the women who pay most attention
to chickens. Some Of the farmers
have more or less knowledge Of what
is required to get best results with
chickens; but generally they leave such
matters to their wives and daughters
But, however, this may be there are
Just lots of farmers within a half doz-
en- miles of Yorkville, where the chick.
en- crop consumed at nome or sold, OF
both, amounts to hundred dollars and
upwards a year. Included in this class
I would say are the following: Mrs

NOTE AND COMMENT.

Speaking Of the failure Of the town.
ship committeeman, appointed for the
purpose, to prepare lists Of the Con-
federate soldiers who went to the war
from their respective townships, Major
James F. Hart, said yesterday that
he was very much disappointed. From
the way the work started out, 1t look
ed as If the whole task was to be ac-
complished within a few weeks, and
here months have elapsed and with
the exception Of two townships, prac-
tically nothing has been done.
There has been something like 300
bales of cotton sold on the Yorkville
market, or rather to Yorkville buyers
during the present week, and it is es-
timated that there are hardly more
than $50 bales left in the county. The
reporter was advised on Thursday by
a gentleman who Is entitled to be con-
| sidered as knowing what he is talking
| about that Bethel township has been
time in years. 1t has been quite awhile
since the holdings of the York county
farmers have been reduced so low at
this season. 1t has developed within
the past ten days that there was a
good deal more cotton in the county
than some Of the best informed buy
ers thought; but all Of them are now
| reasonably sure Of their estimates.
On the first page of today's paper Is
published the roll Of Confederate SOL
diers who went to the war from
Bethesda township, as the same has
been prepared by the committee ap-
pointed for the purpose. The object
Of the publication Is two fold. In the
first place, we want to give to the peo-
in the second place we desire to as
sist in making the roll as complete as
possible. The committee having the
matter in charge has acquitted itself
admirably. 1t has been at many pains
to secure accuracy and completeness;
but that it has been entirely success
full is hardly probable. If 1t has, the
fact would be remarkable. 1t Is prob
and made other mistakes. We hope
that as the result Of this publication
such names as have been omitted may
be supplied and that such mistakes as
have been made may be corrected.
We would suggest therefore, careful

The suit against the Southern Rail-
way company, brought by the heirs OF
the late Alexander T. Black will be
compromised, so the plaintiffs attor-
ney, W. M. Dunlap. ESQ.,, Informed
your correspondent. 1t will be. recalled
that this case was brought by the heirs
seeking to recover certain lands bor-
dering the Southern track in the bus
mess portion of the town, which lands
were decided by A. T. Black to the rail
road company in 1851. 1t was claimed
that the company had put the land to
other uses than was allowed by the
deed. 1t was along this line that the
plaintiffs attorneys sought to recover,
with the result that the railroad COM
pany has offered quite nice little sum
to settle the matter. The heirs have
been trying to recover this property
for several years, but somehow there
was a hitch until the present attor-
neys went to work on the case.

THE talk Of friends Of Crum trying
to get him to resign seems to be sug-
gestive Of the idea that after all the
whole issue involved is the desire OF
some white politician for the job. If this
be the meat in the cocoanut, we see no
reason why the general public should
be exercised about the matter. What
ever difference there is between Crum
and the white man who would step
into his shoes by the favor Of the pres
ident who made the appointment, Is
rather in favor Of the Negro doctor.

Precautions are being taken by the
war department to prevent dissatisfac-
tion with the inspection Of state troops
by regular army officers under the pro-
visions Of the new militia law. Re-.
ports received at the war department
show that some of the state organiza-

probation Of this law which was made
by the war college board, and Secre-
tary Root is also Of the opinion that
the Interpretation should not be fol-

AS q result he has invited sugges-
tions from National Guard organiza-
tions, which will be followed as closely
as possible.
The report Of the war college board
urged that the states pledge separate
