SALESDAY.

Yesterday was salesdav for June and
the most notable feature Of the occa-
sion probably, was the small NUMBER
of visitors in town. Altogether hardly
more than fifty people other than resi-
dents were to be seen on the streets
during the day, and Of these some five
or six were candidates for the various
county offices.
There were two auction sales by the
clerk as follows:
In the case Of w. G.. White, plant
iff, VS.. Lester and Grady Wallace, mi
nors, defendants. tract Of 81 acres
three and a half miles west of York

ney, for $3.50. .-.....

IT will be remembered that year or
two ago, as the result of pressure
brought by the dairymen of the north
and northwest, congress made an ef-
fort to kill the oleomargarine industry
by providing penalties for putting COL
oring matter in imitation butter. The
oleomargarine people, however, have at
last hit upon a scheme to circumvent
this unnecessary and unjust law. In
stead of putting the coloring matter In
their oleomargarine they send along a
little vial with each package and leave
it to the purchaser to do the coloring
according to his own notion. 1t Is to
be hoped that this scheme will help
increase the sale of oleomargarine
among the people who prefer 1t to
butter. Oleomargarine is made largely
from cotton seed oil, and the larger
the quantity of this imitation butter
consumed the higher the price that can
be paid for cotton seed.

WITHIN THE TOWN.

The registration books were open
yesterday and a number Of certificates
were issued.
The regular monthly business
meeting Of the Commercial club Is to
be held in the parlors of that organiza-
ton this evening at 8 o'clock.
The county board Of commission
ers will hold its regular monthly meet
ing in the office Of the supervisor to-
morrow. There is no business of es-
pecial Importance pending.
The extension Of Church street
across to East Madison street and the
extension of Wright avenue across to
West Liberty or even to West Jefferson
will materially increase the supply OF
building lots in Yorkville.
Ruth, the infant daughter Of Mr..
and Mrs. G. w. Kunz, died rather sud
denly last Friday afternoon at about
o'clock of cholera infantum. She was
aged eight months and three days
The funeral was conducted on Satur-
day morning by Rev. ]. L. Stokes.
The York county summer school
for teachers convened in the graded
school building yesterday, with twen-
ty-four teachers in attendance, and be-
gan the work of organization, which
will be completed today. The outlook
is favorable to a month Of successful
work.
AS the result Of the work that has
been put on it during the past week
West Madison street has been very
considerably improved, but some heavy
blasting will be necessary at a point
near the intersection of West Liberty
before there will be much inducement
for people to the west Of Yorkville to
use this street in preference to climb
ing what are known as the jail hills.

.F's~. -.
UNITED STATEs AND CHINA.-N
matter how the war IN the far east
may eventually result, says a Wash
ington correspondent, the United States
government intends to insist upon the
integrity of the Chinese empire.
The fact is learned from the best OF
official authority.
For some time there has been a feel
ing in official circles that European
powers were planning to seize parts
of China at the termination Of the
war between Russia and Japan, and
that no matter which won, plans were
being laid by outside countries to
take slices of China. as was the case
at the end of the Japan war
All of the now powerful influence OF
the United States will be used to pre-
vent such a grasping policy, and there
Is every reason to believe that II ia
pan is victorious she will work in har-
mony with the United States to save
China.
Should Russia be victorious the SIT
uation would be more complicated, but
even so, the state department would
hope. to save China, with the possible
exception Of being forced to recognize
the special Russian interests and DOM
|ination in. Manchuria.

THE CHAIN GANG.

The chaingang has been located on
the Smyrna road for several weeks, but
will be brought back to Fishing creek
within the next day or two to build a
bridge so as to permit the establish
ment of q new rural free delivery route
that will cover the territory to the
south Of Yorkville.
Although on a rather economical
scale, there has been a lot Of good
work done on the road to Piedmont
Springs and Smyrna during the past
few months. The heavy hills have re-
ceived especial attention and the light
er work has been left to the overseers,
who have not yet done a great deal
that seems to devolve on them.
Supervisor Boyd said today that
there are now eighteen convicts on the
gang, and that is about all. he can
hope for until after the next term of
the court of general sessions. II think
we will keep all we have, though" he
remarked, unless thew get away from
US, and that does not happen often"
The coroners jury has not yet rem
dered a verdict in the case vi George
Lee Warren, the negro who died un-
der somewhat mysterious circumstan-
ces, shortly after being committed to
the gang. Frank Warren, the brother
of the negro who died, Is thought to
be steadily fretting himself to death.

AGGREGATE COTTON ACREAGE.
As Compared With Last Year, There
Is an Increase of Ono Tenth.


Is an Increase of Ono. Tenth.
The chief Of the bureau of statistics
of the department Of agriculture In his
statement issued Saturday, estimates
the total area planted in cotton in the
United States this season at 31,730,S71
acres, an increase of 2.823,O16 acres, or
9.S per cent planted last year.
The average condition Of the grow
ing crop on May 26 was SO, as COM
pared with TAI on May 26, 1903, 95.1
at the corresponding date in 1902, and
a ten year average Of 85.S.
The percentage of increase In acre
age in the different states, (the COM
parison being with the area planted
last season), is as follows: -.
Virginia 10. North Carolina 1876,
South Carolina 9, Georgia TT, Florida
1877, Alabama 9, Mississippi 10.5, Louis
lana 1876, Texas IL, Arkansas s.3,
Tennessee Ills, Missouri %, Oklahoma
29.2.
The condition of the crop by states
on May 26 was as follows:
Virginia 50 per cent, North Carolina
"a, South Carolina 81, Georgia IS, Flor
ida 8S, Alabama 80, Mississippi IS,
Louisiana Sc, Texas "a, Arkansas a.
Tennessee s5.. Missouri 80, Oklahoma
SO; Indian Territory 90.' p"
Aside from the large increase in
acreage, due mainly to the high price
Of cotton, there are no conditions call
ing for special comment at this time.

INDEPENDENT cotton oil makers are
complaining of being squeezed by the
Southern Cotton Oil company and 9TH
er combines. The price Of seed has
been higher this year than ever before
and the price Of raw oil is lower. The
big oil companies are charged with re.
sponsibility for the situation. On Its
face the charge looks unreasonable; but
that is not altogether so certain. The
combines not only buy and make Oil
but convert it into the finished pro-
ducts, soap, lard and such commodities
BY allowing the price of oil to range
low and putting up the price Of the
manufactured products, they are en-
abled to make hard lines for their COM
petitors without making any hardship
for themselves.

THE Russians, judging from some OF
their newspaper utterances, are be-
ginning to grow excited over the sug-
gested sale of the Philippines to ia
pan. According to the Russian view OF
the matter, the Americans have begun
to realize that the Japs will own the
Philippines sooner or later anyway,
and the proposed sale is merely good
stroke Of business. The new arrange
ment, however, is not being contem-
plated with equanimity, as according
to the Russian view, Japanese owner
ship would be even more intolerabie
to Europe than Is American owner
ship. The idea Of the proposed trans
fer does not seem to have been con-
sidered seriously yet; but really such
a thing !s not impossible.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1904-06-07

FROM the reports of operations In
what has, up to this time. been the
Russo Japanese war zone, it has ap-
peared that the Japanese troops in
actual service have vastly outnumber-
ed the Russians. It Is fact that the
Japanese have had the advantage. Of
numbers in every battle. But that this
situation will continue to the end is
hardly probable. Since the beginning
of the. war there have been reports OF
the vast number of men and quantities
of war material that have been taking
trains at. every railroad station
throughout Russia. 1t is possible that
these stories have been exaggerated,
but not probable. There Is no reason
to doubt the fact that Russia has the
men and other resources. 1t Is also
quite evident that as successful as the
Japanese have been in preserving
the secrecy of their movements the
Russians have been more so. But few
reports as to Russian movements or
dispositions have gone out up to this
time. In fact but little has been heard
of the Russians except what they
themselves have seen proper to give
out. Although no definite statement
can be made to that effect it Is quite
probable that by this time the Russians
have massed large forces at Harbin,
Mukden and Vladivostok, and the out
look now is that if there is to be any
really serious work during the war 1t
will probably begin with the coming
assault on Port Arthur.
