"a LINK IN NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

A LINK IN WEALTH ABSORPTION
The overthrow of the old homesteac
law and the substitution of a. Gao
acre homestead is being rapidly con-
summated, so far as the change can
be pushed along by the Public Lands
Committee of the House. That BODY
voted the other day to recommend
the passage of a square mile home
stead bill as applied to eight or ten
millions acres of land in western
South Dakota. The report of the
committee was made in the face of a
strong adverse recommendation from
the Commissioner of the General
Land Office and the Secretary of the
Interior. The Commissioner pointed
to the fact that a similar bill was
enacted last year for western Nebraska
lands las an experiment" and he
stated that sufficient time had not
elapsed to warrant any conclusion
whatever favorable to the Nebraska
law.
Under the South Dakota bin the
government is given four months In
which TO make a complete survey of
the state and withdraw any lands
suitable for irrigation. There is no
provision in the bill, however, BY

Recorder
A wild and woolly tragedy has been
enacted here during the past week.
Bishop H. Smith Woolley was forced
out of the government assay office by
an order direct from President Roose-
velt. The administration element of
the republican party went into hys-
terics over this insult to its Mormon
element. The governor called a
lodge of sorrow to assemble in his
office, and there was wailing and
crashing of teeth for a whole night.
The wild, wolly bishop was entrapped
in the act of appropriating check
for one months salary, which pur-
ported to be due to his brother Ken
meth. The $50 steal was worked by
dating brother Kenneth's resignation
one month after he had gone home
to the plural bosom of his family in
Paris, Idaho.

NooinoH Oluy hecOrder.
The proceedings of the Idaho Iegis-
lature display the absolute domino
tion of the Mormon political power
over the republican majority. There
us no subterfuge that will conceal the
fact that the so called anti-Mormon
legislation is designed to deceive the
public and protect the old cohabs.
The Richards bill for the punishment
OF the crime of unlawful cohbitation
was killed in the interest of these
criminals. There was no cause for
objection to this bill other than the
desire to protect this peculiar crime
OF the Mormons. All laws aimed az
marriage, or at lustful practices with
out marriage, are Intellectual so far as
Mormons are concerned. They are
married enough to defeat prosecution
for adultery, but not enough 70 ba
prosecuted for polygamy or bigamy.
The Mormon church license is capable
OF very accommodating construction.
1t is all things to all men. 1t would
be just as easy to reach Mormon lust
as GENTLE lust if the republican ma
lority was not subjugated to the Nor
mon hierarchy.

F. S. HARDING. MANAGER
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1905-06-20

The young men Of Yorkville are ar
ranging to erect a dancing pavilion at
Sutton's Springs. The idea has proved
quite popular and liberal subscriptions
are being made.
The election for major Of the First
battalion, First regiment Of South Car
olina volunteer troops, took place last
Saturday and Captain W. B. Moore
Of Yorkville, received majority Of
the votes cast.
nettsville yesterday looking to secur-
ing the location of the Presbyterian
college Of South Carolina in that town.
Messrs. D. D. McColl and A. ]. Matth-
eson subscribed $4,000 each.
Reports from different sections indi-
cate that the farmers Of the county
got in lots of good work last week, and
the amount Of grass in the fields has
been reduced wonderfully. The corn
crop Of the county promises very poor
ly. There are hundreds Of acres that
will yet have to be plowed up and re-
planted.
A statement in THE ENQUIRER to
the effect that the jury commission
ers would draw two venires for the
summer term of court was incorrect.
Only one venire will be drawn. The
act as amended permits the court to
give its attention to common pleas jury
business during the summer term; but
provides for the service Of jurors dur
ing only one week. AS to whether or
not any civil cases will be taken up
at the approaching term Of the court
is very uncertain.
The announcement in another col
umn with reference to the Crawford
Mineral spring will be received with
pleasure and satisfaction by many OF
the people of the section. The wa
ters of this spring have long had
most excellent reputation for their In
disputable curative virtues. For more
than a generation physicians have been
accustomed to send patients there, and
there are many to bear testimony to
benefits received. OF late Mr.. A. w.
Love and others have erected some
cottages and made other improvements
that will be available to the public
at very small cost.
Although a statement Of the circum-
stance was overlooked at the time II
should have been made, 1t Is not too
late to mention the splendid record
made by Miss Leon White, Of Yorkville
In school attendance. The report or
Superintendent Allen, as read at the
recent commencement exercises, show
ed that during nine years in the graded
school this young lady lost but a SIN
gle day. This was because of an ac-
cident sustained while at play about
four years ago. We have seen some
remarkable school attendance records
reported In the papers; but petter
one than this has not been brought to
our attention. Miss White Is daugh-
ter of Mr.. ]. P. White Of Yorkville.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1905-06-20
Two LinotYpes.

THE ENQUIRER has added a new
Mergenthaler Linotype to its mechan-
ical equipment and with battery Of
two of these remarkable but very ex-
pensive machines, is now prepared to
do just twice as much type setting as
1t has ever been able to do before.
We would be glad to be able to tell
to put in this additional machine In
order to take care Of an increasing
volume of work; but that would not
be strictly true. Although we have
no occasion to complain of the amount
of work we have been getting from
Yorkville York and surrounding coun-
ties, II is a fact that our exceptional
facilities have rarely been crowded to
their capacity for more than a day
at time.
More than anything else the step
we have just taken has been made out
of an abundance Of precaution. The
linotype is a wonderfully complicated
machine. and at the same time a re-
markably durable and reliable one.
But still 1t is liable to accidents, and
possible accidents include those that
may occasion delays Of days until re-
pairs can be had from New York or
New Orleans. The paper that could
be produced in the meantime, would
only be the poorest makeshift, and
the main object of the new machine Is
still further to reduce what Is now
really very small possibility that our
patrons should ever be disappointed
by any failure on our part to keep our
contract with them.
1t will be remembered that THE
ENQUIRER was the first paper in the
state outside Of Charleston and Co
lumbia to install a linotype. When 1t
installed its first machine some five
years ago, 1t had the distinction of be-
ing the only weekly or semi-weekly
paper I'm the south to venture upon
such an advanced step. Since then a
number C semi-weekly papers have
tried the experiment; but now THE
again. Not another weekly or semi
weekly paper from Maryland to Texas
has yet found need for more than one
Mergenthaler, and no printing office In
South Carolina outside of Charleston
and Columbia has more than two.
Several daily papers are getting along
with one machine each.
While, as we have suggested, II Is
in the interest of THE ENQUIRER and
it's patrons that we have made this
venture. we do not propose to have
this new machine standing idle If we
can help it. All along we have been
doing a considerable volume Of work
for customers in other towns, in COM
petition with the world. and If this
volume is not materially increased to
the common advantage of ourselves
and the community in which we live,
the future has in store for us some
very serious dlsappointments.

IT has been believed by great many
people that Mr. H. H. Evans. chairman
Of the board of dispensary direct
ors had Newberry county in his
pocket 1t Is generally conceded thai
since this gentleman became prom
inent In connection with the dis
pensary he has had lots of money
from some source, and he has new
er been accused of being stingy
with 1t. For these, among other rea-
sons II was thought that his influence
in Newberry county must be con-
stantly growing stronger rather thar
weaker. The fact that Mr.. Cole L
Blease, a strong dispensaryite, and q
close friend of Mr.. Evans got into the
state senate from Newberry has beer
taken as evidence Of the paramount
influence Of the dispensary in that
county. but the developments Of the
past few days seem to indicate that
either many people throughout the
state have been deceived or Newberry
On last Saturday week ago an an
ti-dispensary convention was held In
Newberry. Committees were appoint
ed in each of the eleven townships OF
the county to solicit signatures to
petition for an election to drive the
dispensary out of the county. The
committees made reports last Satur-
day, and it developed that they had
on their petitions more than 1,00C
names. There are only $500 quail
fled voters in the county and 700 are
all that are necessary to call an elec-
ton: but 1t was decided that the COM
mittee should keep on with its work
until it gets a clean majority on the
petitions. Messrs. Evans and Blease
are doing all they can to stem the tide;
but up to this time, 1t looks as If the
anti-dispensary people have over
whelmingly the best of 1t.
