There seems to be absolutely moth
ing In the way Of rapid and substan-
tial growth for the town Of .Yorkville.
General conditions have not been 30
good In fifty years and the prospects
are all that could be desired.
The continuation Of Wright avenue
across to the Intersections with West
Liberty and Jefferson streets, would be
a good idea. It would not hurt IN fact
to let the extension continue to CAL
ifornia street. 1t will take some heroic
work on the part Of the town council
to straighten the town out; but the
task is not impossible.
The called meeting Of Bethel Pres
bytery, referred to in the last issue OF

Mr.. Alonzo Rose wants to put up
a handsome brick building on the
Kuykendal lot recently purchased by
him. He has made an offer for the
lot fronting on East Liberty street
and purchased some time back for
purposes. 1t Is his purpose,
II he can get this lot to use 1t as
rear entrance to his main street lot.
Should he be able to carry out his
idea, the result will be most desir-
able improvement.

The resolution speaks Of the bear
ish speculative influences and con-
tinues: =
I'VE know that at the present
prices Of manufactured cotton goods
and the splendid trade condition
throughout the civilized world. that
the mills can absorb the entire out
put of the present crop at 10 cents
per pound, paid to the producers. We
therefore earnestly call upon the
holders Of spot cotton in the south
to stand firmly together and demand
a minimum price Of 10 cents per
pound for the remainder Of the cot
ton crop in their possession. We
earnestly invoke the aid Of the bank
ers, merchants and other allied inter-
ests throughout the south In sue
cessfully resisting the present crisis
which confronts southern agriculture
and commercial industries, and we
wish to emphasize our high appreci-
alton Of the voluntary proposition of
southern bankers to finance the pres
ent situation.
I'VE urge the farmers Of the south
to organize as speedily as possible
in order that they may have uni
form system Of cooperation and pro-
lection.
I'VE authorize the president OF
this association to confer with the
official heads Of allied organizations
throughout the south for the purpose
of holding a southern interstate con-
vention at the city Of New Orleans,
or other conveniently located city In
the cotton belt. on the fourth Tues
day in January, 1906, to consider the
best interests of the producers with
reference to the cotton industry OF
1905.
I'VE urge curtailment in production
Of cotton and an increased produc-
ton Of food supply crops. We con-
gratulate the producers Of the south
in the firm and loyal stand they have
taken since December 8 and their H.
nancial ability to hold their cotton
and prevent its confiscation at prices
which are illegitimate and below the
cost Of production"
A resolution was also passed COM

ELSEWHERE in today's issue Is re-
produced a very interesting interview
which Mr.. Frank B. Hayne has given
to the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
Mr.. Hayne, as we have taken occa-
sion to say before, stands high In the
cotton world, and his character Is In
every way equal to his splendid judg-
ment and business capacity. He Is In
business, Of course, to make money;
but naturally he is bull. His man.
ipulations are always on the bull side,
or course, he does not hesitate to take
profits when he sees the bears in the
saddle; but he would rather see cotton
high than low. That Is because, first
of all he is a southerner. He believes
in the south-che old south or the
new south-it makes no difference to
him, against the world. The principal
point in his interview Is that II the
farmers Of the south would only hold
back about half million bales-that
Is hold this amount absolutely on the
market and let 1t be understood that
1t will not be sold for less than 10
cents. that price would be realized.
Mr.. Hayne is undoubtedly correct In
his view Of the situation and the only
trouble in the way Is safe practical
and we'll defined plan Of operations.
To simply advise the farmers to hold
is worse than useless. The world
knows that they have the cotton and
that they will have to sell it. That
is a fact from which there is no es-
cape. But If the farmers were organ
lied under a plan that would allow
each individual to do as he pleased
with a part Of his holdings. while the
remainder, the surplus-that portion
over the requirements Of consumption
were under the control Of a master
business giant, to be disposed Of only
in accordance with his directions, the
price Of cotton would be whatever the
farmers might choose to demand.

THERE is promise Of serious trouble
ahead of the Southeastern Tariff asso-
citation. The Southeastern Tariff as
ISOLATION Is an organization that is
maintained by the insurance compa-
MES to fix rates. 1t was banished
from the s. ate some two or three
years ago by special act Of the leg
islature on the ground that it was
maintained for the purpose Of pre-
venting competition. Under a promise
to be good" the association was al
lowed to return to the state, what is
known as the Mauldin act being pass
ed at the last session of the general
assembly for that purpose. The un-
derstanding was that the association
would not re Sc it's rates. Within the
past few mo this the state has been
re-rated by agents Of the associa-
tion, and in almost every instance
rates were made higher than they have
been for yeas. This was noticeably
the case in Yqrkville, for instance.
Rates were raised here on various
pretexts, and some Of these pretexts
were most trivial. The understanding
is that the same thing has been done
elsewhere. Anyway, Comptroller Cen
eral Jones is receiving numerous COM
plants, from all parts Of the state,
and he proposes to call the especial
attention Of the legislature to the mat
ter. THE ENQUIRER was among the
newspapers which thought 1t would be
wise and proper to allow the tariff
association to resume business in
South Carolina; but we now frankly
admit that we were mistaken. We are
able to cite numerous instances of ar
bitrary, unjust and unreasonable
raising Of rates, and we believe
the association is guilty Of bad
faith. AS W. see it, there is no other
way for 1t than to Danish the associa-
ton again and we hope that the gen.
eral assembly will do it at once.

no more cattle disappeared. The mys-
terry Of the cows disappearance was
explained yesterday, when in drawing
away a large strawstack in the barn
yard the decomposed bodies of the
cattle were discovered. The animals
had tunnelled under the stack while
feeding, and becoming lodged under
the straw had suffocated.
After a thorough investigation by
a subcommittee Of the judiciary COM
mittee, the house Of representatives on
last Tuesday voted to impeach Judge
Charles Swayne of the northern dis
trict of Florida for high crimes and
misdemeanors. Among other things
Judge Swayne was charged with hav-
ing sworn to and collected expense ac-
counts of ten dollars a day when his
amount He is also charged with hav-
ing sold judgments and having arbi-
trarily ruled Objectionable members Of
the bar for contempt. He spent but
ida, attending to his business. The
case against him rests principally up
on his conduct in swearing to false
accounts. The impeachment resolution
which was passed by a vote of 1913 to
81, reads as follows: Resolved that a

PURE BLOOD.
Blood Impurities Of Sprinsiime-'
Cause, Prevention
and Cure,

Dr. Hartman's medical lectures are
eagerly scanned by many thousand
readers.
One Of the most timely and interest.
ing lectures he ever delivered was his
recent lecture on the blood impurities
of spring.
The doctor said in substance that
every spring the blood is loaded with
the effete accumulations of winter, de.
ranging the digestion, producing slug
gishness of the liver, overtaxing the
kidneys, interfering with the action of
the bowels and the proper circulation
Of the blood.
This condition Of things produces
what Is popularity known as spring
fever, spring malaria, nervous exhaus-
tion, that tired feeling, blood thicken'
Ing and many other names.
Sometimes the victim is bilious, dys'
peptic and constiplted; sometimes he
Is weak, nervous and depressed; and
