NOTE AND COMM EMIT.

The Southern railroad has paid
Mrs. Ernest L.. Adams, Of Rock Hill,
$4,000, the amount recently. awarded
by a York county jury as damages
on account of the killing Of her hus-
band at Catawba Junction.
II 10 gratifying to note that the low
price Of cotton has not produced the
business stagnation that prevailed
during the previous six cents period.
This, of course, Is because the pro-
ducers Of this section had marketed
the bulk of their crop at 9 and 10
cents. There is good deal Of money
in the country, and the people are In
a very good conditi to wait for
better prices. -----------.-.. -.-
Mr.. James Carroll is down with
smallpox at the home Of his father,
Mr.. M. S. Carroll, in the Beersheba
neighborhood. The disease developed
about a week ago, but was not dag
nosed as smallpox until Sunday night.
Mr.. B. F. Marley, who developed a
case of smallpox at his home on the
eastern outskirts Of Yorkville some
weeks ago, has been out for a week
or more. He has some red splotches
on his face but Is not pitted.
As is we'll known, 1t is the custom
Of the publishers of THE ENQUIRER to
cut out during the first week Of jan
uary, all expired and unrenewed sub
'scriptions. This list last Friday in
cluded about 300 names, and up to
yesterday more than 100 Of them had
been returned. The paper begins this
year with the largest subscription list
that 1t has had in January during the
whole fifty years Of its existence. The
publishers have good reason to hope
that they will be able to pass the
1000 mark before the close OF the
year.
The resolution passed by the hard
yarn spinners, in Charlotte the other
day is especially gratifying to those
people who have been led to believe
that the southern spinners favor low
prices for cotton. The concensus Of
the best thought Of the south Is that
the interests Of southern cotton pro-
ducers and manufacturers are pretty
nearly identical and with both these
classes fully realizing this fact good
results are bound to follow. On the
other hand II these two classes get
to pulling against each other both
must suffer.
Il is not fair for a depositor to ex-
pect a bank to pay overdrafts. at least
without due notice beforehand. Some
people are inclined to presume that II
they keep a deposit in the bank for
months and then draw a check for $40
when they only have 50 to their cred
it, the bank should be accommodating
enough to pay the overdraft and
charge the shortage against future
deposit. But that is unreasonable.
It Is not business. Any man who Is
entitled to accommodation at a bank
can get such accommodation by ask
ing for 1t; but he has no right to pre-
sumo on the banks accommodation
Except where there is a mutual un-
derstanding in advance, bank people
have a right to assume that over
drafts are the result Of mistakes and
their safest policy Is not to pay them
