The pension system was the greatest as a
burden to the people of the United States in
1893, since which time the burden has been
constantly decreasing until 1t has shrunk
in eleven years from $2.24 to less than $l.32
per 81, 600 of taxable wealth. In ten years
more the burden will cease to be noticed.

ton. Mr.. Sully gave partial confirma-
ton of this statement, and the market
at once went "out of sight" Some
thing like an hour afterward the price
fell a cent and a quarter. TWO MIL
lion bales were sold during the day.
Before the close, there was recovery
of about 10 points, and the close was
from 20 to so points above the lowest
figures reached. There was, of course,
lots Of excitement; but after it was all
over 1t seemed quite clear that the
market was within the complete con-
troll of the bull leaders during the whole
time. The thing had been planned
carefully, and there is a pretty gener-
eral opinion that the significance was
either to squeeze out the hordes or
small spectators who have all along
been hanging on to the outskirts of the
bull campaign, or that the manipula-
tors Of this remarkable movement have
gotten their profits out and are ready
to quit. Whatever may have been the
real object or cause of the sudden
slump, there is no doubt of the fact
that thousands of small spectators
were ruined, and many large ones
were pretty hard hit. The sales Of the
day have not been exceeded but once
before in the history of cotton specula-
ton. The same experience was re-
peated on Thursday, being helped by
story to the effect that war had been
declared between Russia and Japan.

THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

The county board Of commissioners
held its regular monthly meeting In the
office Of the supervisor on Wednesday.
and devoted its time to the auditing OF
accounts, and the consideration Of var
ious petitions from citizens Of the
county,.
A delegation consisting Of Messrs. j.
B. Bigger, T. M. Martin, J. A. L. M.
Stewart, w. A. Youngblood, w. w.
Auten and ]. r. Wallace Of Bethel and
Ebenezer townships, appeared before
the board with a complaint against the
Catawba Power company. These cit
izens claimed that. the power company
had promised to remove certain RATS,
timbers and other distractions from
the mouths Of streams flowing through
their lands into the river, and that the
promise had not been complied with.
The board was not certain that 1t had
any power to act in the matter, and
postponed its decision until 1t had time
for further consideration.
There was a petition from citizens
Of Yorkville and the country immedi-
ately surrounding. asking that the
board make a public highway Of the
road connecting the Rutherford road
with the Kings Mountain road, by
way of the residence Of Mr.. ]. L. Parish
and skirting the northwestern boun-
dary Of Yorkville. The object Of the
petition Is to secure to the people Of
the northwestern part of the county a
better entrance into the town, by avoid
ing the difficult hills between the
pumping station and the court house.
The proposed new route, though some
what longer is practically level. The
petition was granted on condition that
rights of way be secured without cost
to the county, and the following COM
missioners were appointed to open the
road: j. L. Parish, S. w. Inman, r.
L. Wilkerson, J. G. Dickson.
A petition was granted for the build
ing of a bridge over TayloTs creek on
the road between the ]. B. Oates place
and the Chester line. Messrs. w. R..
Neely, E. l.. Cornwell and J. H. Dren-
nan were appointed to supervise the
matter,
Provided rights of way could be Sc
cured without cost to the county,
Messrs. R. N. Plaxico, Felix Quinn and
w. L. Pursley were commissioned to
open a public road from the Martha
Fans place on the Kings Mountain
road to the residence Of Davis Brown,
on the Yorkville and Blacksburg road.
During the day. thirty-one bills were
audited and ordered paid. They ag-
gregated in amount s1,S81.48.

Miss Amanda Wilkerson, who has
been spending some time with her Sis
ter, Mrs. j. Ed Thomas, near York
willie, has gone to Woodruff to spend
the balance of the winter with her sis
ter, Mrs. S. P. Woodruff.
The condition Of Mr.. E. A. Stackloff,
the Baltimore drummer who has been
i'll at the Parish hotel during the past
two weeks is extremely critical. DR..
Walker. the attending physician, seems
to have but little hopes of Mr.. Stack
lofts recovery.
Mr.. James L. Moss remarked the
other day that previous to this year
the best price he ever got for cotton
was 11a cents. He got the top of the
market this year. Capt. E. A. Craw-
ford says that on one occasion he sold
lot of cotton for 27a cents.
Mr. Mace Williams remarked yes
terday that he sold his cotton this year
for less than IL cents; but he invested
the money in land with Mr.. ]. E. Poas
and has not since had occasion to re-
gret that he did not hold for higher
prices. II have already an op-
portunity to rent the land for IL cents
cotton" Mr.. Williams remarked.

NOTE AND COMMENT.

There are not great many people In
this section who are still interested In
the price Of cotton, at least not in the
price of the last crop.
The grounding saw his shadow very
plainly last Tuesday and If he went
back into his hole he is q fool, because
the weather has been very fine ever
since.
Tn, Rock Hill Journal has been
merged into the Record, edited by Mr.
P. L. Garnes, recently Of Charlotte, N
c. The Record is to be published twice
a week as was the Journal.
Senator Briee took prominent part
Wednesday in the debate on a bill to
make it unlawful to sell or give away
intoxicating liquors within three miles
Of a polling precinct on election day.
He was in favor Of the bill.
It has been frequently remarked that
Ebenezer township has a good thing in
the plant Of the Catawba Power COM
pany. The taxes Of this corporation
will help very materially in the pay
ment Of the interest on the townships
railroad bond debt.
Cotton has gone down two cents a
pound since yesterday morning, and
everybody in this section seems to be
in doubt as to whether the trouble is
due to Sully's pulling out Of the mar
ket or to the situation as between Rus
sia and Japan. Brown and Hayne, of
New Orleans continue to advise in
quirers that prices will yet reach 20
cents.
"a have noticed it many time," re-
marked a gentleman who is familiar
with the characteristics Of the average
cotton speculator. after a man gets
up his margin and the market goes
against him, If he has the money, he
is generally willing to take his loss, but
if the market goes up his way and
gives him a profit, he generally lets
the profit stand, in the hope that it
will go higher, and often he let's it
stand until it is all gone"
Deputy Sheriff Sandifer went up to
Glover on Wednesday and attached a
part of stock of goods that had been
loaded on cars preparatory to ship
ping to Gastonia. The attachment was
based on the claim of creditors. Mr..
Sandifer did not have the warrant of
with him at the time; but
he managed to run a kind Of a bluff
on the freight conductor and held the
cars until the necessary papers came
in shortly afterward. Kendall & Co.,
will probably fight to regain posses
sion Of the goods.
That is rather a good move on the
part of those petitioners who seek to
open a new highway from the Ruther-
ford road to the Kings Mountain road,
so as to facilitate the entrance Of peo-
pie living to the northwest Of Yorkville
into town. 1t takes a good four horse
team to pull a respectable load, say
cord of wood into town up the hills

az The vote on the Panama cana
treaty, it is now expected. will be
reached about Feb. 25. The time de-
pends to some extent upon the early
reply Of the president to the resolutions
Of inquiry which have been sent him
by the senate. If, as now seems pro-
bable, these answers are received dur
ing the present week, an earnest effort
will be made to secure action on the
treaty. The Democrats have discover
ed that so many of their number in
tend to vote for the ratification Of the
treaty that nothing can be gained by
attempting to delay the vote. They
have accordingly notified the Repub-
licans that they will permit a vote as
soon as legitimate debate is finished
But before proceeding with the final
discussion Of the treaty they want to
have before them the information they
have called for from the executive de-
partments. They also want an inves-
tigation of Minister Bunau-Varilla's
conduct and how he became acquaint-
ed with the intention of the adminis-
tration to send ships to the isthmus.
and was able to predict several days in
advance Of their arrival the precise
time when they would reach Colon and
Panama. This proposition will, how
ever. probably be overruled by the Re-
publicans. But the talk on this. and
on the treaty itself, will. 1t Is expected,
consume some time, so that the final
vote on the treaty Is hardly looked for
before the last of this month.
