Quite a number Of YorkVille peo-

The town council Is waging an
active campaign against dog owners
who have failed to pay the tax OF 81
per capita on all dogs within the incor-
porate limits. The ordinance, which
has been in effect for some weeks, pro-
vides that owners who fail to pay the
tax voluntarily are liable to fine or
imprisonment, and the police are ac-
tive in their canvass for the people
who have not paid. Up to the past
few days the mayor accepted the dol
lar tax from all who come up Volun-
tarily even though they had failed to
nav at the proper time. In the cases
of several individuals who had to be
arrested fines of only 81 each were
imposed, and in each case the tax was
paid In addition. There has been some
some little friction over the enforce
ment of the ordinance: but as yet
there has been but little disposition to
question it's legality.

Killed by an Electric Shock.
Columbia Record: A colored laborer
named Preston Fortune was instantly
killed yesterday morning by contact
with an electric wire. The transmit
ting wire between the Columbia Water
Power company plant, on the river
and the CRANKY Cotton mills, carries
a voltage of a little over 5000 VOLTS
1t is transformed to six hundred volts
at the mill and thence transmitted
Yesterday while Fortune was at work
on the wires near the CRANKY Mills
drugstore, he pushed his arm up
against the wire. The contact imme-
diately burned through the clothing
and burned the skin. With groan the
negro fell dead under the wire. Moth
ing could be done for Fortune. and
when the physicians arrived they found
that he had been instantly killed. Dr
Williams. who made an examination
found that the skin and flesh had beer
burned brown by the sharp contact
with a wire carrying 5000 volts ol
electric power. There was death
here several years ago. quite similar
to that of Fortune, on top of the Co.
lumbia hotel.

NOTE AND COMM EMIT.

The wheat crop seemed to promise
but very little few weeks back; but
now reports are coming from different
localities to the effect that wheat is be-
ginning to show up very nicely indeed.
But after all wheat Is a rather uncer-
tain proposition. AS a general thing
the farmer does not know what he has
until the crop has been through the
thresher.
Although quite a number of candi-
dates have been announced for the va
|rious Offices there is nothing in the
York county political situation up to-
this time that seems calculated to ex-
cite especial interest. There are no
issues Of any consequence up for con-
sideration and as yet absolutely no
evidence of public interest as to who
may or may not be candidates. 1t Is
generally believed by those who are
closest in touch with the political sit
uation that the activities Of the candi-
dates will develop rather earlier this
year than usual, and that the situation
will begin to put on life pretty soon af-
ter the county convention that Is to
be held within the next few weeks.
Do municipal authorities lose juris-
diction over a prisoner after commit
ting him to the chaingang? That ques-
ton has been rather forcibly presented
to Mayor Willis. of Yorkville, within
the past few days. One day this week
violator of a town ordinance was
sentenced to pay a fine or do hard
labor on the public works. The pris-
oner was unable to pay the fine and
the superintendent Of the chaingang
was instructed to come for him. Later
the prisoners friends got up the
money with which to pay his ane,
and the mayor issued an order foi his
release. This order the superintendent
of the chaingang refused to recognize,
and hence the interesting question.
There have been no further proceedings
and the reporter has not been advised
that there will be any; but he has
taken occasion to sound Supervisor
Boyd with regard to his attitude. The
refusal to release the prisoner was in
accordance with my general instruc-
tions," said Mr.. Boyd. II have not got
ten legal advice with regard to the
matter, for the reason that I have not
considered it necessary: but 1t seems
to me that after we have been put to
the trouble of sending after a pris-
oner, and the prisoner has been duly
committed, 1t Is our business to work
him to the extent Of his sentence.
This Is my idea of the justice Of 1t. AS
to the law. Of course; I cannot say;
but in the case Of circuit judges. I
believe, it Is not customary to inter-
fere with a sentence after either alter
native has been put into execution. If
am wrong in this matter, Of
course, stand to be corrected"

CONCERNING PUBLIC WELFARE.

There was an important special
meeting of the Commercial club Of
Yorkville in the parlors Of that organ
ization last Tuesday night, and various
matters of more or less interest and
concern to the town and community
were taken under consideration.
The meeting was called to order by
Capt. w. B. Moore. the president, who
presided and announced as the prin-
cipal objects Of calling the members
together. the desirability Of trying to
agree upon and select a site for the
proposed monument to the Confederate
soldiers of York county, and also Of
discussing the need of a modern hotel
building in the town of Yorkville with
a view to taking steps to remedy such
need if any practicable way could be
suggested.
With reference to the proposed mon
ument, Capt Moore explained that 1t
had been practically decided by those
in charge to lay the corner stone in
May next, and this decision makes 1t
eminently desirable that no time be
lost in the selection of site. He went
on to say that three possible sites had
been called to his attention-one on
a strip of land adjoining the Yorkville
cemetery one in the centre of the
Congress and Liberty streets crossing
and the third in the court house yard,
and he felt sure that the Winnie Davis
Chapter U. D. c., which has the mat
ter in charge, would appreciate such
suggestions and assistance as the club
might see proper to offer.
After various members had given
their views as to the best site and the
best way of securing the same. the
sense Of the club was finally expressed
In favor Of a location in the court
house yard and committee was ap-
pointed to confer with the county board
Of commissioners and to report back

to the club at another special meeting
to be held on the night Of the first
Wednesday after the first Monday In
April. 1t was distinctly understood
that the action Of the club in the mat
ter was to be merely advisory.
In connection with the discussion Of
a suitable location for the proposed
monument. the desirability Of public
park for the town was suggested. and
the suggestion seemed to meet with
pretty general favor; but no action
was taken. OF the several possible
sites suggested all seemed for one
reason or another unavailable.
OF the different subjects considered,
the matter Of a modern hotel building
took unmistakable precedence from the
standpoint Of the interest manifested.
Experience in southern towns gener-
ally. it was urged, has demonstrated
that than good hotels, no other instt-
tutions have made more for commu-
nifty upbuilding. The position was also
taken quite frankly that there Is but
small reasonable hope for direct re-
turns from an investment in hotel
building. The undertaking could be
so managed as to become dividend
Garner; but the probabilities are
against dividends. The promised in
direct advantages Of a hotel. however,
are sufficient to warrant liberal con-
tributions from the property owning
element generally and the plan Of or
| ganizing a joint stock company with
| subscriptions on a basis Of one-half
stock and one half bonds seemed to
recommend itself as about the right
thing.
| AS the result Of the discussion Of the
hotel project. 1t was decided to ap-
point a committee to get all the In
formation possible as to the probable
cost Of site and construction, and also
to take such steps as might seem ex-
pedient to find out to what extent
the business men Of the town would
be willing to cooperate in the un-
dertaking. Capt. Moore announced
| MS Willingness W SuuSCiipS $1,oVV VII
the basis above outlined, and others
promised to help. The committee re-
ferred to was named as follows: Capt.
w. B. Moore. by the club; Messrs. s.
M. McNeel, o. E. Wilkins, w. r. Car
roll, w. I. Witherspoon, Louis Roth.
Major James F. Hart suggested as
subject for the further consideration
Of the club, the question as to wheth-
er in the opinion Of the members and
of the citizenship of the town gen.
orally. it Is more desirable to spend
the public revenues in the erection Of
municipal building or in the acquire
ment of the watershed from which the
public water supply comes. He did
not care to advance any views on the
proposition at that time; but thought
the people Of the town would do well
to think over the matter carefully be-
fore taking decisive action.
After discussing one or two other
matters relating to the rules OF the
club, and Of no special concern to the
public, the meeting adjourned.

ceive we'll merited mention. The club
wishing to undertake some benevolent
work in connection with it's literary.
has decided through q committee, of
Mesdames O'Leary and Herndon. to
send contributions of current maga-
zines to the cotton mills for distribu-
tion among the operatives. The fol-
lowing members were present: Mes
danes S. M. McNeel, w. B. Moore. G.
H. O'Leary, Misses deLoach, Daniel,
Barron, Whisonant, Allison. Nicely,
Hunter. Clawson and Ashe.
The idea OF a modern hotel build
ing for the town Of Yorkville Is good
one. There Is no doubt about the ne
cessity for such a building. and there
is as little doubt about the benefit
that would likely accrue to the town
and community on account Of 1t. And
with regard to the all important f1nan-
cial end of the suggested undertaking.
there Is reason to believe that the
prevailing sentiment Of the members
of the Commercial club Is rather too
conservative than otherwise. Even as
fairly good direct investment, the
proposition Is not at all desperate. The
demand for additional modern store
rooms Is quite as great as the neces-
sity for a hotel. Such store rooms
could be readily rented IL they were
available. and could be rented at bet
ter rates than are now prevalent. Two
or three. or even more Of these rooms
could be provided for In a building
that would otherwise answer all the
requirements of a hotel and at COM
paratively small cost The revenue
from these store rooms, added to the
rental that could reasonably be expect
ed from the hotel proper, ought to be
pretty nearly sufficient for a fair divi-
dend. However, as has been suggested
by members Of the club. the property
owners of the town will be fully war
ranted in liberal subscriptions to g
hotel enterprise whether they get di-
rect returns or not.

NEW PLAN TO TEACH CIvICs.-The
public schools of Chicago will be or
ganized into miniature national, state
and municipal governments If plans
under consideration by Superintendent
Edwin G. Cooley are carried out.
Superintendent Cooley believes that
by bringing pupils into organizations
representing three different stages OF
government, civics can be taught with
better results than in any other way.
The plan contemplates the election
of a national house of representatives
from the grammar schools and the
election of senators from the high
schools. Each elementary school Will
send one representative to the nation
al congress and each high school Will
send several senators to the higher
branch of the mock national govern
ment The state and city governments
will be formed in much the same way.
The president and all officers of the
different branches Of government Will
be elected by the Australian ballot
system and in every detail the ma
chinery Of the national government
will be copied.
The little government will be found
ed. on the principles Of co-education
and equal suffrage.

1T looks now like Parker or Cor
man. Personally am for German, but
the Maryland senator has unquestion-
ably weakened himself by his fight or
the Panama canal. 1t will be Parker
or some good eastern man.
while Grover Cleveland would pol
more votes possibly than any other
man in the east, yet he will not do

dangerous man, unsafe. liable to pre-
cipitate us into trouble at any time"
How about Hearst?

he Is only a figurehead In congress
Has plenty of money and hires bright
men to write for his newspapers
When invited to make speech he al

and says he is enjoying good health
He Is pleased with the harmony Of the

TEMPERANCE AN ISSUE.
Gen. Miles Says Prohibitionists Should
Await Action of Other Parties.

Rev. James B. Dunn. D. D.. of New
York has received letter from Gen.
Nelson A. Miles, dated March IS,
which says:
Our country is now confronted by
situation and is called upon to de-
eide questions Of the greatest moment.
Not since the adoption of our consti-
tuition have greater responsibilities
rested upon the sovereign voters Of
this country than those which will be
placed upon them during the coming
autumn.
1T is a truth as old as Holy Writ
that temperance is one Of the seven
cardinal virtues. Is not it's advocacy
consistent with a like Jealous advo-
cacy of great national questions not
directly involving it? The two great
political parties of nearly equal
strength that divide the country will
make nominations and announce plat
forms within the next few months.
Should either make such a nomination
and announce such principles as Will
command the approval and cordial sup
port of those whom you represent the
opportunity to advance the objects of
the temperance party would be Of
fered, while at the same time the pa
triotic men composing that party will
contribute most essentially TO the up
lifting Of our country from existing
evils.
Should no nomination be made by
either of the great parties that would
command the cordial support of the
temperance people, the opportunity to
make the nomination of it's own would
still remain.
For the reasons herein briefly lndl-
Gated 1 am strongly Of the opinion that
it would be advisable for the temper
ance party not to hold its convention
until it has had an opportunity to OBJ
serve the action of the other two
