in Perfect Form.
Unless he changes his mind Manager
LaRocque will put Conrad Welch in
the box for the opening game with
Charleston on Memorial Day, and he
will be given. no more heavy work be-
tween now and next Tuesday.
WEIGH has received more hard work
than any of the other men, as he was
in form earlier. The other pitchers,
coming from colder climates, were not
as easily seasoned as WEIGH, and the
brunt of the box work in the practice
games fell to him. That he has made
good every one who has seen him In
the box can testify.
Selections for pitchers for the second
game will be made after the series of
games now on have been finished. It.
tig and Savidge will oppose each other
to-day, and Jutzi will be given a trial

plains that "rHE YoRKvILLE ENoUIR-
Err reprinted without credit, almost
word for word a story Of the tin ore
find near Gaffney, S. c., which the
Gazette-News first made public, OBJ
tanning it's information from AsheVille
gentlemen who are more or less inter-
ested in the discovery. The Charlotte
Chronicle copied the story and credited
il to THE YoRKvILLE ENQUIRER" For
this we are sorry. The number of the
Gazette-News containing the story
must have gone astray. for 1t is one
paper through which we go with.
fine tooth comb.-Charlotte Chronicle.
1t gives us pleasure to make frank
acknowledgement Of the fact that we
deserve no credit whatever for the
story referred to except in helping to
give it additional circulation: but we
did not clip the story from the Gazette
News, because it is not our pleasure
to have an exchange with that paper
and we do not see it. We do not re-
member that a copy has ever found its
way to this office.
But on this story hangs another
story. We are naturally very much in
terested in the development of the
newly discovered tin mines in Chero-
kee, and for some time past have made
it rule to publish all the information
of interest pertaining to them that has
come under our observation. This par
ticular story first came to our atten-
ton by it's appearance on the first
page of the Spartanburg Journal. 1t
was printed under an Asheville date
and as there was nothing to indicate
that the Journal had any special right
to it, we assumed that it had been
clipped from some northern daily, and
the date advanced. The only credit
we saw proper to give. therefore was
that IAN experienced mineralist who
was in Gaffney recently Is reported as
saying"
The next we saw Of the story was
in the Charlotte Chronicle credited to
THE ENQUIRER" and the next ap-
pearance was in the Columbia State
based on a dispatch from Yorkville
Then afterward, strange to say, it ap-
peared in the Spartanburg Herald, the
Journals morning contemporary. with
credit to THE ENQUIRER, and 1t is
still being published quite generally
over the country, as if it belonged to
this paper.
We beg to say that had we seen the
article in the Asheville paper origi-
nally, we would have been prompt to
give proper credit, and if they can
bring themselves to be so considerate
of us, we would have all our contem-
poraries to believe that we desire no
credit to which we are not entitled.

LOGICAL.

The object of purchasing a bottle
of liquor, of course, is to drink it, and
since the state will not allow any
drinking in its place Of business, the
customer finds it necessary to go else
where.
AS the result of the situation, almost
every location out Of easy view of the
public has been pressed into use Tor
drinking purposes, that is, unless the
people responsible for such places have
taken more or less vigorous means to
prevent.
The sign mo Whisky Drinking AL
lowed Here" is quite common about
the water buckets in the stores and
more respectable places generally; but
even these do not always suffice to
prevent the thirsty from making free
with the premises.
One day last week some men from
the dispensary walked into the back
part Of a store and proceeded to open
their bottle at the water bucket, re-
gardless of the mo Drinking" sign
plainly conspicuous on the wall. The
proprietor had already been annoyed
beyond endurance by just such impo-
sition and he Immediately entered a
protest.
Cant you read that sign?" he ask
ed. pointing to the legend on the wall.
But you surely don't object to us
taking just one drink; won't you have
something's" replied the man with the
bottle. :"
mo, don't drink in my place Of
business. and I don't allow anybody
else to. Why not drink your liquor In
the dispensary where you bought it?'
"They won't let us drink it down
there" was the answer.
WELL" retorted the business man In
a final clincher, IF the man who sold
it to you and got the profit won't let
you drink in his place, I don't see what
right you have to come around here
stinking my place UP with the stuff"

IT must be admitted that justice is
administered more evenly and fearlessly
in United States courts than in state
courts. The reason is plain. As rule
local influence and sentiment over
shadows justice, and it is rarely the
case that jury that will do its
simple duty can be found. This thing
has been demonstrated in South Car
olna until there is little reason to dis
pute it. If it is justice we want, 1t
would be Il good idea to model our
system for the trial of capital and 9TH
er highly important cases after the
United States court system. For in
stance, if we should provide that all
such cases be tried at Il special court
to be created for the purpose. to be
held at Columbia. with jurors drawn
from the state at large. we could
come nearer to infiicting just punish
ment wherever it is due, and at the
same time we could get rid of the
hollow m,ckery. involved in change
of venue.

JOSEPH r. Burton, United States
senator from Kansas. has been con-
victed on FIVE counts of an indictment,
charging him with having accepted
bribes for the use of his influence in
behalf of the Rialto Grain company
before the postoffice department. The
conviction, of course, was in United
States district court and after long
and vigorous fight on both sides.
The jury remained out nearly two
days before it came to an agreement,
and then i was able to record ver-
dict after a final wrestle with one
stubborn Juror. There is no possible
doubt of Burton's guilt; but still his
conviction reflects high credit on the
court that convicted him. Such
thing is hardly possible except in a
United States court. and if even that
had failed to reach a verdict that
means trh years Imprisonment or $780,
600 fine for Il United States senator
there would have been no good ground
for surprise.

NOTE AND COMM ENT.

The town of Fort Mill has under con-
sideration the construction Of a water
plant for fire protection and the con-
struction Of system Of electric lights.
One thing that puzzles a great many
people is why the Southern Express
company Is not made to pay something
for the privilege of being allowed to
transact the highly lucrative business
Of which 1t has a monopoly In York;
Vile. OF course. the company pays
taxes on it's tangible property; but the
value Of this property is so dispropor-
tionate to the company's revenues that
the tax is really a mere bagatel.
Various of our exchanges are COM
menting on the scarcity Of labor in their
respective localities. This scarcity is
more marked than it was last year.
The situation Is accounted for in var
ious ways. Some attribute the trouble
to the large number of negroes engaged
in double tracking the Southern rail-
road. Some think that the higher
wages paid at the north have tempted
the negroes up there, and still others
give other reasons.
The reporter is advised that mining
operations at the old Magnolia prop
erty have been temporarily suspended;
but several other mines are still being
worked in the immediate neighborhood.
Just what the trouble at the Magnolia
Is, cannot be definitely stated; but 1t
has been suggested that the miners
made a serious and expensive error
in their effort to locate the vein for
which they were searching. Mr.. Dam
iels, who was mentioned some time
ago in connection with the operation
of the old Schlegelmilch mine, Is now
experimenting the opening Of the tin
mine near Gaffney.
Mr.. S. D. Patrick advises us that he
does not think there was any connec-
ton between the fire that destroyed
his store on Sunday morning and the
lamp explosion Saturday night. He
said the trouble with the lamp was
due to a fall 1t occurred in the front
part of the store and the fire was en-
tirely extinguished. All the testimo-
ny available from those who first saw
the fire on Sunday morning was to the
effect that the flames originated in a
different part Of the building. Mr..
Patrick Is Of opinion that the fire may
have been of incendiary origin. He
does net indicate, however, whether or
not he has any suspicious.

WITHIN THE TOWN.

Next Monday is salesday for April.
MIR. w. B. Moore is improving the
side walks in front Of the Congress
street property recently purchased by
him.
Right Rev. Ellison Capers, Bishop
of the South Carolina Diocese, was in
Yorkville on Wednesday, and took
part in two interesting services in the
Church Of the Good Shepherd. While
here he met quite a number Of old
friends and acquaintances who were
delighted to shake hands with him
again.
Several citizens near the corner OF
Congress and Liberty street have made
known to the town council their SER
ious objection to allowing the street fair
company to occupy that location again.
The location of so many tents along
the street last fall subjected traffic to
considerable inconvenience. The show
people this year will pay a straight IL
cense fee Of SO day.
per Light Infantry took place on the
Garrison green last Thursday after
noon. The inspection was made by
Adjutant and Inspector General Frost,
and Captain Hunter, Of the United
States army. There were fifty-five
men in ALL and the inspection was
quite creditable. Gen. Frost took oc-
casion to compliment the men on the
condition of their guns and accoutre-
ments. etc. Capt. Hunter did not have
any thing to say in public: but Is 1t
understood that he expressed himself
as very we'll pleased with the manner
in which the company acquitted itself.
Am old umbrella fiXer was among
the unfortunates who found their way
into the lookup for being drunk and
disorderly, etc. last Tuesday. The
case against this man was plain drunk.
He had taken on too much dispensary
and was acting in a manner that led
the police to believe that he might
later get into trouble, and as the re-
suit he was locked up. When he ar
rived at the Jail, Deputy Sheriff San
differ asked him what the charge
against him was. He was getting
little mean now on account Of the
dying effects of his liquor and his re-
ply was. none of your d-n business.
Mr.. Sandifer smiled good naturedly
and let the matter drop. Next morning
the old fellow wanted to apologize.
"Oh. that's all right" Mr.. Sandifer as
sured him. Il never entertain hard feel
ing against a man because of any talk
by the whisky inside Of him." Then
the old fellow began to tell Of his SER
vice with the North Carolina troops
on the side Of the Confederacy through
the war and deploring the fact that
he only had five coppers in his pocket.
The mayor imposed fine Of 50 or ten
days. Having satisfied himself that
the old fellows soldier story was true,
