DAvIS'S LECTURES.

In the last issue Of THE ENQUIRER,
there was an advertisement in which
Mr. w. D. Grist Of Yorkville offered to
buy a copy of Davis's lectures, pub
hshed in Yorkville in 1928, and the
book has been secured.
Mr. John T. Latham Of the Harmony
section brought copy to THE EN-
oUIRER Office on yesterday morning
and an exchange was promptly made
between the parties at interest in con-
sideration of a sum that was mutually
satisfactory.
Davis's Lectures on the New Testa-
ment went to make up the first oooK
that was ever printed In Yorkville.
The author was the Rev. William c.
Davis who because of differences with
the Presbyterian church Of which he
was a member founded a separate
church known as the Independent
Presbyterians, and after his death his
son, Rev. Robert M. Davis undertook
to publish all Of his writings.
It was in connection with the pro-
posed publication of this work that
Patrick Carey, the first printer was
brought to Yorkville in 1922 or 1928.
After one volume was completed, Rev.
Robert M. Davis died, and the work
of further publication was suspended
for many years, being finally completed
in the fifties by Walker, Evans and
Cogswell of Charleston.
The advertisement last week grew
out of the visit Of Mr. Charles H.
Carey of Portland, Oregon, grandson
of the old printer. Mr.. Carey was es-
pecially anxious to get copy Of a
book that had been printed by his
grandfather. and the advertisement
was inserted in the hope of gratifying
his desire.
The copy of the book brought in by
Mr. Latham is bound in morocco and
is in a good state Of preservation.

Selling of Electric Power.
Charlotte Observer, December Q:
Mr.. w. s. Lee stated to an Observer
reporter yesterday that the Southern
Power company had virtually dispos-
ed of all the power to be had on the
river at present. and that the current
was now being generated by steam
and sold to parties at rates consider
ably lower than that which 1t costs.
He stated that power generated oy
steam costs some $27 horsepower,
$50 or thereabouts. This Is being done
in order to retain the trade until the
huge development on the Catawba at
Great Falls Is complete. Then the
current will be brought into Char
lotte In quantities sufficient to oper-
ate every manufacturing plant In the
city. 1--WE will lose money for
awhile" remarked Mr.. Lee, In speak
ing Of the move on the part of the
Southern Power company to gener-
ate power by steam, but the invest
ment Is a good one. BY the time the
power can be conveyed to the city
from the Great Falls development,
the people will be educated to Its
use and we will have no trouble In
disposing of all that we have" In
this connection Mr.. Lee spoke Of some
of the experiments which he has
been making recently to show the
saving which is made by those con-
Germs which use electricity. He stated
that the ginners of Charlotte. Rock
Hill and Pineville, say that the aver
age cost OF ginning a bale OF cotton
by steam is from 68 to 81 cents per
bale. Those ginneries which use elec-
tricity declare that the records OF the
past season show that the cost by
electricity was only Is cents per bale.
This Is a remarkable showing and
speaks we'll for water power.

clan arrived, DR.. Matthews explained
that his wife had an overdose of NOR
phine. He was not willing for the 9TH
er physician to have anything to do
with the case: but undertook TO make
another int, ction in the woman's arm.
The other doctor and the coroner pre-
vented him. Subsequent investiga-
ton developed that the liquid Matthews
was seeking to inject was strychnine.
He had already injected enough to kill
several people. and ii is thought that
his last desperate attempt was in the
fear that his wife might recover suffi-
ciently from the first dose to be able to
tell the circumstances. Matthews was
taken to jail and it is expected that
ne will try to put up plea of insan-
ity.

internal revenue sources for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1906. will ag-
gregate $4,000, 900. or nearly S.
900, 900 in excess of those for the last

VaIue in Little Things.

CnlCdSO JOuTudi
 From waste paper alone one railroad last year realized 5000.
 Pins, pens, nails, old brooms, bottles. tin cans and worn-out machinery of all sorts are gathered up along the route by all the railway companies and turned into money. Even the ashes are sold or utilized for improving the road d-bed.
 These things seem small to command the attention of rich railway com pany. But 1t must be remembered that the railway company is rich largely because it looks after the little things.
 The greatest corporations in the world are not above taking care of the fractions of pennies.
 The railway scrap-heap of the coun- try last year reached the value of $1,-- 250,000--a most respectable sum of money. notwithstanding 1t came from picked-up pins and paper, old nails and old brooms.
 Waste forms one of the most vital questions in economies, not alone for railroads and big manufacturing plans, but for everyhousehoId.
 It is impossible. of course, for any very great sum to be realized in the saving of waste in a household And yet the usual waste of any home is relatively far greater than that of a railroad.
 We think it mean and miserIy to look after the little things. And for that reason, more than for any other, hu-- man life is cursed with poverty and pauperiSm.
 There Is less meanness in a poor mans saving a pehny than in a rich mans saving million.
