DANIEL J. Sully has made little
sensation by demanding that the re-
ceivers of D. ]. Sully & Co., buy 100000
bales of spot cotton on account of the
firm. 1t seems that Sully & Co. had
contracts to that amount outstanding
at the time of their failure. Just now
there are only about 10000 bales of
spot cotton in sight and Sully claims
that if the receivers will take
all the cotton his firm had bought, the
advance in price will be sufficient to
help him out of his hole. Notwith-
standing the fact that at the present
current prices, the cotton is, worth
S2,0O0,O00 less than at the price at
which it was bought the receivers
declined to accede to Mr.. Sully's re-
quest on the ground that If the cotton
should be rendered to them they would
have to raise about s15,OOO,00O of cash
and they have nowhere to get the
money.

NOTE AND CONNIE

Fishing and Turkey creeks are ootn
very low, lower than they have been
at this season before for years.
The date Of the opening Of the sum-
mer school for teachers has been
changed from Wednesday, June 8, as
advertised last week to Monday, June 8.
There are quite a number of intelli-
gent and sensible people Of the Beer
sheba neighborhood, who are not al
together satisfied that the strange
tracks discovered along the creek
banks recently were the product OF
hoax. They are still guessing.
At last tho long drought has been
broken and welcome showers have be-
gun to fall. There was good rain
over a large territory Of which York.
VILE is the centre Sunday night. 1t
extended from Guthriesville on the
south to Fishing creek on the east
and over nearly all Of the western side
of the county. There was very little
rain on the eastern side Of the county
or In Bethel township. Since then
however, the showers have been more
general, and there is reason to nope
for seasons generally.

and to try to ignore the fact or shirk
the responsibility involved, can only
characterize those Of US who are res
ponsible as childishly ignorant or
criminally careless.
To say that the streets, back yards
and public lots of Yorkville are lit
orally reeking in filth would probably
be an exaggeration. The situation is
not so bad as that. At the same, time,
however, it cannot be denied that the
town is much filthier than it ought to
be, and within its limits there are
numerous incubators Of odors and dis
ease that ought to receive prompt and
intelligent attention. There is no one
to deny the truth Of the proverb that
an ounce Of prevention; Is worth a
pound Of cure, and Comparatively
small amount of general cleaning may
be the means Of preventing a large
amount Of trouble. 'S'
= The back lots, the closets, and pri-
vate premises all need attention, and
this attention can be effectively secur-
ed only by thoroughly intelligent
and business like effort under proper
authority, and at public expense. The
statutes Of the state make ample pro-
visions for the proper sanitation Of
incorporated towns, and most Of the
towns have availed themselves Of the
authority that has been given for the
preservation Of the health and COM
fort Of their inhabitants. 1t is to be
sincerely hoped that Yorkville will not
neglect this matter for another month

DR.. sNYDER's ADDRESS.

According to program, the COM
mencement exercises at the Graded
school were concluded Friday night
by the address of DR.. Henry Nelson
Snyder, president of Wofford college.
DR.. Snyder's audience was large and
appreciative and the speaker ably sus-
tained his high reputation as a bril-
liant lecturer.
DR.. Snyders subject was Education,
in general; the school house specifical-
ly. He treated the school house as
composed of three elements: first, the
teacher; second, the thing to be
taught; third, the pupil, the person to
whom the thing is to be taught. He
disabused the minds Of his hearers OF
the erroneous view that the school
house was a place where lot OF
disconnected facts were crammed into
the head Of the pupil, He said the
open school house represents the un-
derlying principle Of this great repub-
lie Of ours-equality. Not political or
social equality, but equality Of oppor-
tunity. Every man has just the same
opportunity in the public school to
prepare himself for life. And, he said,
there is no opportunity for an unpre-
pared man-the world Is for the pre-
pared man. Here DR.. Snyder mention
ed a number Of men who have risen
from the lower ranks Of life to the
highest position of trust In this coun-
try, and insisted upon the fact that II
was not by force Of circumstances,
but by reason of their being ready
prepared to grasp the opportunity when
1t is offered them. The school house,
he said, is the place where a desire
for knowledge, desire to know how
to do something, is to be planted Into
pupils nature, and where this de-
sire is strengthened and developed un-
til the pupil viii prepare himself
train himself by every means he can
obtain. Then, leaving the pupil, DR..
SNYDER spoke Of the teacher. He said
that a teacher should first Of all real
lie how initiative children are, and
how important it was that noble and
high ideals should be set before them.
No great, successful life has ever been
lived, he said, that was not patterned
on nobler. higher life. In conclu-
sion, DR.. Snyder warned his hearers
that upon the children Of the present
depends the welfare, the life, OF this
nation in the future, and urged them
to neglect no opportunity to place the
means of development in the reach OF
every child.
The solid philosophy Of the address
was richly seasoned with jokes. and
anecdotes, and It is fair to say that
the children were entertained by 1t
almost as much as the older people
were instructed. Everybody present
was most highly pleased with the doc
tors most able effort.

WITHIN THE TOWN.

Mr.. J. R. Schorb reports that the
rainfall of Sunday night amounted to
one inch, and practically all of 1t SOAK
ed into the ground.
A party Of the Graded school pu-
pills, under the chaperonage Of Misses
Daniel, Whisonant and Nicely, made a
trip to Cliffs, up the c. &. NV. rail-
road last Saturday. The day was
spent very pleasantly. .-
-Messrs. Glenn & Allison have
carload Of ponies from the west and
all Of the children as we'll as many old
er people are very much interested
The lot includes many very handsome
and desirable little animals. and from
the interest that is being developed
there Is reason to believe that sales
will be entirely satisfactory.
At a meeting Of the town coun-
ell last night, John R. Hart, Esq, was
elected town attorney, and Messrs. +.
w. Love and w. ]. Whitener were re-
elected policemen. Mr.. Love Is TO
continue as clerk Of the council and
town treasurer as heretofore. Mr.. c.
E. Spencer served notice on the coun-
ell with reference to the emptying OF
sewerage in a branch on his place, ana
also with reference to the use OF prop
erty in connection with the water
supplv. The notice was taken under
consideration. 1t appears that there Is
some doubt about the constitutionality
of the act providing for commission
ers Of public works, and until this
doubt is settled the commissioners Will
hardly undertake to discharge the du-
tics Of the office

food, which it secures from sets of
floral nectarets. These ants spread
themselves over fields Of cotton, four
or five to a plant, and they are con-
stantly engaged in the destruction OF
the boil weevil. Mr.. Cook reports that
the adroit and business-like way In
which the weevil is disposed Of seems
to prove beyond question that the ant
is by structure and by instinct espe-
cially equipped for the work of de-
struction and is in short the true ex-
PLANTATION of the fact that the cotton is
successfully cultivated by the Indians
of Alta Vera Paz in spite Of the pres
ence of the boil weevil.

Now that the bugologists have found
an ant that loves to feed on boil wee
wills, it is a question as to how long 1t
will take to bring the supply Of ants
up to the necessary demand. The
thing may work out all right; but 1t
looks like a pretty slim chance. espe-
cially for Texas. Out this way 1t Will
probably be a good idea to get the
ants on the ground first, so they will
be in a position to take care of the
weevils as they arrive.

attacks of the boil weevil and on or

Investigations have been in more or

of Alta Vera PaZ, Guatemala. The

questionably kept in check by the
presence of an active enemy in the
shape of a large, reddish brown ant,
