olina for distribution over the state
and in the north. The Primer is from
an article prepared for the Encyclo-
pedia Americana by Major Harry

Of notes I'm the back Of the Primer

plets description Of South Carolina,
dividing the state into sections and
considering each section 80 far as re-
CARDS its climate, soil and principal
resources. Accompanying the Primer

August Kohn In News and Courier:
asked Senator Tillman what he
thought about the confirmation Of DR..
Crum, about which considerable has
recently been said In the newspapers.
He Is Of the opinion that there IL prac-
tically no good to come from contin-
ued fighting of the confirmation Of DR..
Crum and he Is disposed now to leave
the matter to the Republican maJor1-
ty Of the senate. He feels that he has
done all that he can do and that his
position and that Of this state are
well known. He is somewhat inclined
to think that President Roosevelt may
be so thoroughly gratiied with the
fiattering vote that he received that
he may decide to let UP on the south,
and the president also must appreci-
ate that the south alone stood out
against him more on account Of the
race. issue than anything else. Sena-
tor Tillman thinks that IL the prest-
dent insists upon the confirmation OF
DR.. Crum that the senate will con-
firm him, and that there will be
practical unanimtty on the part OF
the Republican majority and. that 1t
will be entirely In Difference to the
president. Whatever Is done In this
matter he thinks win be done at the
instance of President Roosevelt. and
there is no use to do any further fight

NOTE AND COMM EMIT.

There was quite lull in cotton gin
ming up to week or ten days ago; but
since then the gins have become busy
again.
There are those who estimate that
the rural free delivery system has
added not less than one dollar an acre
to the value of the farm lands Of York
county.
Messrs. c. F.. James and ]. B. Neil
are soliciting subscriptions to a knit
ting mill to be built at Filbert. They
want $4,000 capital and have 80 far
secured over $4,000.
Mr.. w. II. Stewart writes that the
reporter misunderstood what he had
to say about the cotton crop recently.
He referred to the crop Of year before
last instead Of last year. In his opfn-
ion the crop Of this year Is not 80
large as that Of year before last.
Reports from different parts Of the
county indicate that wheat sowing ts
progressing rapidly. The ground Is a
little wet in many localities; but where
farmers have the seed they are not
deferred on this account. The out
look Is that the acreage to be put In
wheat this fall will be much larger
than last year; but still not as large as
it would be II the necessary seed were
easier to obtain. %, -.
Chicken and oyster suppers have
been coming into vogue throughout
the country surrounding Yorkvtlle OF
late. There was quite big AFFAIR or
the kind down on Mr.. ]. B. Scotts
place, in the Delphos neighborhood
last Friday night, given by Mr.. Scout
and others, complimentary to their
friends. In all there were about thir-
ty people present, and the analr was
great success.
While The Enquirer has not taken
the means necessary to get the exact
figures, which are easily ohtainable, 1t
feels safe in saying that the local
bank deposits show as large an IN
crease compared with last year, aswas
the increase of last year compared
with the year before. Both Of the local
banks have creditable lines Of deposits
and both include In their list OF pa
irons many who, up to a year or two
ago, had never before had bank ac-
counts. People who used to keep their
money about their homes are now de-
posting 1t In the banks and checking
on 1t as suits their convenience. 1t Is
a fact also that the banks furnished
larger amount Of money than usual to
the farmers during the past summer
to assist in the making Of their crops.
Taken all in all there has been a
noticeable increase In the public ap-
probation Of the value and utility OF
the banks in business and industrial
life.

Mrs. Clemmie Mcknight, wife Of
Mr.. C. M. Mcknight, died at her home
in the Zadok neighborhood last Satur-

brought on by malaria She was q
daughter Of Mr.. P. L. Pursley and at
the time Of her death was aged thir-
ty-eight years and twenty-three days.
She leaves a husband and seven chill

A Successful Fruit Grower.
Mr.. Harvey Hamel Of the Allison
Creek neighborhood, is not only good
farmer but one Of the most successful
fruit growers in York county. He was
in Yorkville one day last week and
left at THE ENQUIRER office buncn OF
fully matured second crop June ap-
pies, which, in all but size seemed to
equal the first crop. There were not
so many on the trees, Of course. Mr..
Hamel has been giving attention to
fruit Of all kinds and especially to
apples for half dozen years. In all
he has as many as eighty growing
trees, including fifty that he has set
out himself and on last Friday car
ried home fifty more. He Is paying
more attention to apples than to any
thing else. Already he has a number
of fine young trees that give him ap-
Piles that come up to all reasonable
commercial requirements. He has
given his trees a lot Of close attention
and has spent considerable money on
them; but he Is encouraged to be-
lieve that he will be fully repaid IN
the course Of a few years.
Stewart Not Guilty.
The case Of John Stewart, charged
with violation Of the dispensary law,
which was in progress when THE EN-
oUIRER went to press last Friday, re-
suited i'm q verdiet OF not guilty. The
general presumption Is that the "Ju-
bilee" distillery belonged to John
Stewart, or at least that he was the
responsible head of the business that
was conducted there. The testimony
showed that the place was certainly
nuisance; that large quantities Of IL
quor were being sold daily; that peo-
pie came from all parts Of the coun-
try, on foot, on horseback. in buggies

WORK FOR THE MISSIONS.
Successful Pienies at Bethel and Beth
eI Chapel.
Corresnnndence Of the Yorkyille ENQUIRER.

BETHEL, Nov. 19.-Bethel congrega-
tion Is supporting missionary IN
Korea at a salary Of $500. In order to
enable the children to take a more
active part in this good work, and to
stimulate and increase their interest
and zeal in the extension OF Chr1sts
kingdom, the session last spring d.
rected that a quart Of cotton seed be
given to every child who would agree
to plant it and cultivate the COTTON
for the cause Of missions. For this
purpose 1875 quarts were distributed.
Quite a number Of the grown people
united with the children In this plan
of work for Christ.
Nov. 18th at the Chapel ana NOV.
18th at the church were BetheIs MIS-,
sionary Cotton Picnic days. The Lord
gave us ideal November weather. Ev-
erybody came, Of course, with fuil
baskets of dinner and full bags OF cot
ton, the faces Of the children as bright
as the day, and the older people nap.
py in the freshness and happiness OF
the young, themselves looking young,
and no doubt feeling so because they
could not help 1t. How could tney
help 1t with all those baskets and paSs
and happy children in sight?
The cotton was weighed that 1t
might be known how much each one
made out Of the quart Of seed. II all
amounted to 1924 pounds, enough TOT
three good bales. OF this the Chapel
brought 1900 pounds, and the church
section 1904.
At the Chapel Glenn Brandon took
the prize for the largest yield from
one quart, 1873 pounds, and Isaac A;
Bigger, Jr., fell heir to the second
prize, his quart yielding 96 POUNDS.
At the church the first prize feil 10
Arthur Barnett, 95 pounds, and tne
second to Jenny and Lula Hand, 90
pounds each.
After the cotton weighing, all gath
cred in the church and enjoyed a short
song service, and then had the pleas
ure of hearing an interesting, earnest
address on the subject Of missions.
At the Chapel DR.. ]. H. Thornwell
was the speaker, and gave one OF MS
haracteristic, inimitable, impressive
talks, which could not fail to interest,
instruct and edify old and young alke.
At the church DR.. w. G. Neville
made a strong address, Impressive ana
earnest, which went straight home 10
the heart and conscience Of the near
er, and made every one feel more de-
termined than ever to obey the COM
mand of Christ, 60"
After these most excellent addresses
then the baskets and their contents
the picnic dinner. How shall l do the
subject Justice? One must be present
at a Bethel picnic with a good appe.,
tite to understand and appreciate all
it's incommunicable significance. TO
all who ever enjoyed that distinction
in the past. it is enough to say, at
both the Chapel and the church 1t was
a Bethel picnic. Aren't you sorry you
were not there? Well, begin to get
ready to come next year, for every
one was so we'll pleased with the ex-
pertinent this year that they all with
one consent say, 1--WE Will do IL
again."

He has been in the limelight now for
q dozen years or so, and has been at
the head Of different organizations, but
he has never yet accomplished any
thing for those who organized with
him.
The farmers Of the south undoubt-
edly need an organization, but they
want a practical successful man at
the head Of it, and successful, practi-
cal men to manage 1t.

all that Mr.. Jordan ever does, will not
