Good servants are much in demand In
Washington as we'll as in other cities. Mrs.

fairly good general servant, colored one,
and at last in despair, she stopped an
elderly colored woman, who looked as II
she might have been one of the ante-bellum
house servants, and therefore reliable
one, and made known her wants.
II want a girl who is trusty and good
cook. l am willing to give fair wages, but

KILLER" WHALES ARE KILLED
Apparently Get Worst of Fight be-
tween LevIathans on COast
of California.

SANTA BARBARA, Cal, Nov. S.-The
bodies of over twenty dead whales, known
as killers" are floating In the channel
off Santa Cruz island thirty miles from
this city. The gigantic corpses measure
from twenty to forty feet in length and
bear mute evidence of a fierce battle be-
tween the monsters
This warfare has been going on between
varieties of whales and sword fish for sew
eral weeks in the ocean near the channel
Islands, and it is probable that in the
determination of so many of this variety
of whale a signal victory has been won
by some of the levlathans.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Nov. S-The Pittsburg
Chamber of Commerce banquet tonight at
the Schlenley hotel, which concluded the
Founders day celebration OF the Carnegie
institute, was an event Of national import
ance, the roster OF speakers being the most
brilliant In the history OF the organisa-
ton. President John Eaton Of the Cham

man John Dalzell was POSTMASTER. Three
hundred Of Pittsburg's representative busi-

The president believes that the power to

rate found by II to be unreasonable, and
that the rate so fixed should become as

THE CLAIM OF THE cATAWsAs.

Former President Jones Of the Sene-
ca Nation Of Indians. and Chief Har-
ris. Of the Catawba tribe, of this state,
were in the city last Friday, writes
August Kohn, the Columbia cores
pondent of the News and Courier,
making quiet Investigations about the
lands which the Catawba tribe claims
under the Acts of 1908 and previous
treaties.
Under the Acts of 1908 1t Is claimed
that the Catawba tribe was given the
right to lease its lands for a period not
over 80 years. All of these leases were
made by the chiefs with the approval
of the commissioner for the Indians
and bonds were required. The In
dians, under the treaties. were given
and owned Is square miles. over 5000
acres of land. They are now said to
be in possession Of $40 acres and the
other lands were those now claimed
to be under lease.
There Is likely to be an interesting
question as to whether these remain
ing lands, which the Catawba tribe will
likely claim, are under lease, have been
alienated or not.
Former President Jones comes from
wealthy tribe Of Indians and he Is
here to do what he can to help the
condition Of his fellow Indians In this
state.
If the Catawbas should bring action
to recover the lands which, Ii Is
claimed, were leased for SO years or
less terms. there will likely be some
interesting suits, as no doubt many Of
the present holders thought they were
acquiring the lands in fee simple when
they purchased.

THE ruling of the commissioner Of
internal revenue with reference to
certain so-called patent medicines,
containing an undue proportion Of al
cohol Is calculated to have a far reach
ing effect. There Is no doubt about the
fact that the ruling Is just and proper.
There are numerous so-called patent
medicines which are In reality only
whisky. slightly disguised. They
ought not to be sold at all under the
law. 1t Is argued that If druggists pay
the internal revenue tax in order to
put themselves in a position to sell
these medicines without danger Of
molestation from the revenue authori-
ties, they will thus become qualified
TO sell straight whisky, and some OF
them will take advantage Of the fact.
The proper thing under the circum-
stances is for druggists to refrain from
selling such medicines as are pre-
scribed by the commissioner Of inter-
nal revenue and not pay the tax at all.
That will be safest and most satisfac-
tory. Under the liquor law as 1t ex-
lists In this state. druggists have no
right to sell anything that Is liable to
the Federal whisky tax anyway.

wHIsoNANT SUBURB.

Sell 'em, buddy, Of course we'll sell
'em every one Mr.. Whisonant bough'
this land to sell, and / am to help him
do It. I am In with him, and we are
going to let some Of you other people
In with us, II you want to come In;
but you needn't have any other idea
than that we are going to sell these
lots"
The speaker was Mr.. ]. Edgar Poag
and he was talking about "Whisonant
the tract of land on the eastern out
skirts Of Yorkville, which Mr.. T. NJ
Whisonant recently purchased from
Mr.. A. Rose, and which he and Mr.
Poag have cut up into desirable town
lots, preparatory to a big auction sale
Now 1 wouldn't have you think that
we want to beg anybody to take STOCK
in our enterprise. and l don't want you
to think that we are at all worried
about the outcome of this sale. The
property was bought at price tha'
Is low a plenty, and We have no occa-
sion to worry about it. We amt going
to worry.
And then another thing" continued
Mr., Poag. Don't want you to think
that we are going to be greedy and try
TO make 1t all. There are 73 lots IN
our plat, all Of them big plenty and
some of them still bigger. I have sub
mitted the thing to a dozen or more
of your leading citizens and hardly one
of them has put the average value Oh
those lots at less than $50. l don't
know what they are worth. They may
be worth that and they may be worth
more. Some good men have put them
as high as 500 and $3.50. But that Is
not the thing.
What we propose to do, Is to put
those lots up at auction and sell 'em.
We propose to sell 'em from the court
house door Maybe some Of them will
bring a good price and maybe some of
them will go away down. But that's
all right We are going to sell 'em.
What we lose the buyer will make, for
whatever the lots may be worth now,
they ought to be worth from 100 to
200 per cent more in a year from now.
Quite a number Of local people have
taken stock with Messrs. Poag and
Whisonant in their enterprise, and
when the date Of the auction rolls
round some of these stockholders will
likely be among the liveliest bidders,
for all of them have increasing faith
in Yorkville dirt, and most Of them see
in this particular venture a chance to
make a profit both going and COM
ing"

LUCAS MILLIKIN CASE. - Argument
was concluded before United States
Circuit Judge Pritchard at Asheville,
n c.. last Saturday afternoon. on the
rule to show cause why w. F.. Lucas,
president and treasurer Of the Laur-
ems s. c., cotton mills, should not be
enjoined from further proceedings In
the state courts of South Carolina
against Deering Milliken & Co., of New
York. and also why the present board
of directors of the cotton mill should
not be removed.
Although Judge Pritchard did not
formally deliver his decision, he plain
" stated that he was of the opinion
that the complainants are I'm no dan
ger of suffering irreparable injury at
the hands of the present management,
and that If injured they should seek
relief upon legal and not equitable
grounds. A decision along these lines.
refusing to remove the present board
of directors. will probably be delivered
i'm few days.
Concerning the granting Of an In
junction to prevent further action on
the part Of President Lucas against

courts, Judge Pritchard made no rul-
ing.

HOME INSURANCE.

The Carolina Mutual Life Assurance
Society of South Carolina. S. L. Miller
president and secretary, Is now full!
organized In York county and has
commenced writing policies for all ap-
plicants who are able to come up &c
requirements.
The plan of this company has beer
worked out by Mr.. Miller and asso-
ciates, who have had wide experience
IN old line and assessment insurance
with the object of putting on the
market a safe, reliable, straight pre-
MUM protection at the lowest possible
cost.
Familiar as they have been with
the methods of the Equitable, the New
York Life and other. big insurance
companies, and with their judgment
fully confirmed as the result Of recent
developments in these companies MI
Miller and associates are convinced
that the rates charged by them are
unnecessarily high and that just as
good insurance can be had at mucf
less cost.
In a general way their plan provides
for sufficient capital to pay such deatf
benefits as may mature before the
company gets we'll under way. and
their premium rate Is so scheduled as
TO insure sufficient funds to provide
for the contingencies Of the future
without reasonable danger Of dehcien-
cy or surplus.
AS will be noted from the adver'
tisement in another column, the boarc
of directors for York county includes
successful business men Of wide ex'
perience and high character who couio
not under any circumstances be IN
duced to give their endorsement te
such an enterprise unless 1t compiled
with all the requirements Of approved
principles.
Mr.. T. A. Matthews. general mana
ger for District No. 2. Is an insurance
man of ability and experience. He Is
well-known throughout York county
and the fact that he has charge here
may be taken as guarantee that the
new company will not want for
liberal patronage.

pIsPENsARY OR NO DIsPENsARY.

The election on the question as to
whether or not the people OF York
county are to continue In the liquor
business under the dispensary law
takes place next Tuesday.
The issue has been pretty thoroughly
discussed throughout the county. and
1t Is fair to say that the people gener-
ally understand it.
From such Information as The EN-
oUrRER has been able to gather, there
is not a great deal of excitement on
the subject. The people who are OPP
posed to the dispensary seem conf
dent that they are In the majority and
that the dispensary will be voted out.
A number Of people, mostly politi-
clans, have been doing a lot Of quiet
work in behalf Of retaining the dispen-
sary. Their operations have been con-
fined principally to the circulation OF
more or less exaggerated stories In
tended to create the impression that
the sale of liquor under the dispensary
system Is a benefit rather than other
wise.
There Is a story In circulation In the
western part Of the county to the effect
that there was more drunkenness In
Rock Hill last Saturday than there
has been I'm Yorkville at any time since
the dispensary was established and
that the average daily sales Of tiger
liquor in Rock Hill are greater than
the average daily sales Of dispensary
liquor In Yorkville.
The object of this story no doubt
Is to create the impression that the
dispensary actually decreases Instead
of increases the sale Of liquor II the
story Is true, and we have no hesita-
ton In discrediting 1t, 1t is an argu-
ment against rather than for the dis
pensary law. for Rock Hill not only has
a first class police force; but the only
paid dispensary constable In the county
Is stationed there.
1t is reported also that a number OF
people in Rock Hill take the position
that Yorkville voted the dispensary on
herself and it is none Of their business
to help her out of the trouble. AS to
how many or what class Of people take
this position we have no information;
but there Is no reason to doubt where
they stand in regard to the liquor bus
mess. and their position is merely a
pretext in support Of their desire for
dispensary In Rock HILL
But in the light Of recent develop
ments local conditions have become
matter of secondary responsibility even
on the people Of York county. The
disclosures Of the investigating COM
mittee have shown that the dispensary
has been corrupt since its establish
ment, and its present management Is
actually threatening to bankrupt the
state.

THE eyes of the entire state are or
York county in connection with the
approaching dispensary election. II
was the representative Of York who
took the initiative and won fight fol
local self-government in connection
with the whisky business. A number
of counties, not from political, blu,
from moral and financial reasons
have banished the whisky business
from their limits. Others are prepar'
ing to follow suit. The dispensary in
terests have made a more strenuous
fight in York than in any other county
except Newberry. If the Brice law
loses here, the state board Of contro
and the liquor interests generally, vii
be encouraged to redouble their ef-
forts elsewhere. II York votes the dis.
pensary out, and the other counties ir
which elections are pending follow
suit, the legislature will be forced al
it's next session to take action looking
to wholesome reform of the whole H.
quor business.
