SPEECH WARNSsOF EVILS
 POSSIBLE FROM REALIZATION OF NATIONS
 MIGHT --GREAT CROWD WAS PRESENT

dous changes wrought by the extca. ordinary industrial development of the last half century are felt in every fibre of our social and political being. Never before have men tried so vast and formidable an experiment as that of administering the affairs, Of a con- tinent under the forms of a demccr = republic. The conditions winch have told for our marvellous material well being, which have developed to very high degree our energy, self-re- liance and individual lbitilrtva. have also brought the care and anxiety iu- separable from the accumulation of great wealth in industrial centers. Upon the success of our experiment. much depends; not only as regards our own welfare, but as regards the welfare of mankind. If we fail, the cause of free self-government through out the world will rock to it's founda- tions; and, therefore, our responsibil- ity is heavy, to ourselves, to the world as it is today. and to the gen. erations yet unborn. There is no good reason why we should fear the future, but there is every reason why we should face it seriously, neither hiding from ourselves the gravity of the problems before us nor fearing to approach these problems with the un- bending, unflinching purpose to solve them alright,
 Yet, after all, though the problems are new, though the tasks set before us differ from the tasks set before our fathers who founded and preserved this republic, the spirit in which these tasks must be undertaken and these problems faced, if our duty is to be well done, remains essentially un- changed. We know that self-govern- ment is difficult. We know that no people needs such high traits of char acter as that people which seeks tc govern it's affairs alright through the freely expressed will of the freemen who compose it. But we have faith that we shall not prove false to the memories of the men of the mighty
 past They did their work, they left us the splendid heritage we now en- joy. We, in our turn, have an assur- i ed confidence that we shall surely be able to leave this heritage unwasted and enlarged to our hildren and our children's children. To do so we must show, not merely in great crises. . but in the everyday affairs of life, the qualities of practical intelligence, of courage. of hardihOod and endurance, and above all the power of devotion to lofty ideal, which made great the men who founded this republic ill the days of Washington, which made great the men who preserved this republic in the days of Abraham Lincoln.

Tn the matter of opening ground in advance of the stopes and keeping well ahead with ore supplies Warren district sets a pace that few inning, sections can better, in the display of good judgment properly balanced with economy in development. Extremes are easily gone to in the matter of development in a producer. It is not difficult to crowd the blocking out of ores. in such a district as Warren has proven herself. beyond a point that can come under the head of economic and yet safe development. It is also easy to. do too little in the develop ment of ore reserves. a fact that has in the past embarrassed not few big mining concerns in Arizona. outside Warren district. Here the faculty Of keeping safe ore reserve in sight and benefItting from the economy thereby made has become a fixed habit.

of that city in the early sos, when the T. N. 6 M. Co. mill and shelter were running, will sooH-b be no more. During the past week a deal was made by the Consolidated people whereby the Fl Paso Smelling compa- " have purchased the tailings and will begin the shipment of them during the present week. It is esti- mated that there are about POO car loads of-tne tailings. They are quite valuable as they have never been worked over and contain a small amount of gold and silver. MT H. R. Fry will have charge of loading the cars ard will employ a small force of men; two or three cars will be loaded daily as the tailing bed in within a few yards of the F. P. & s. W. sidetrack.
 At the Emerald there has been un- covered a large body of low grade ere that can be concentrated and which would return very favorable results to the company were such a plant in operation in this camp From present appearances it will not be very long before such a plant will be in full blast. In not only the Emerald have large bodies of this class of ore been discovered, but in several mines owned by the Consolidated company The West Side. Toughnut. Boss, Stonewall and Tribute could all be counted on to furnish tons upon tons of that class of ore.

WAREHOUSES; NECESSARY.

Capt F. H. Weston, chairman Of the
warehouse committee Of the South
Carolina Southern Cotton association,
is sending out to the various county
chairmen copies Of the resolutions
adopted in Columbia on the 7th and
published in THE ENQUIRER Of last
Friday, and enclosing with the same
the following explanatory letter:
II have been instructed to mail you
a copy of these resolutions, and I am
adding, in the hopes Of impressing you
with the great importance Of ware
houses to our people, that 1t seems
to me that the permanency and use
fulness Of our organization will de-
pend upon our succeeding In the es-
tablishing Of warehouses throughout
the state, perfectly convenient to the
cotton producer, and educating him up
to the point of warehousing his cot
ton, thereby saving 1t from the bad
effects Of exposure. Standard ware
houses can be constructed at maxi
mum cost of $1.25 per bale. which will
insure the very lowest rate Of inter-
est; and I am Informed that the
warehouses thus constructed can
warehouse cotton at Is cents to 20
cents per month and be very remun-
erative to the stockholders.
Suppose we have another large
crop Of cotton in 1905 or some other
succeeding year. In order to obtain
the price at which the organization
agrees to sell cotton, 1t will be neces-
sary to warehouse a great deal Of 1t.
Cotton can be stored in these ware
houses and certificates issued which
are negotiable and as good collater-
al as the world affords. On these GER
tificates money can be borrowed at a
low rate of interest enabling the far
mer to discharge his pressing obliga-
tions and still hold cotton for the
prices fixed by the association at the
meeting held for the purpose"

pers, and has contracted plural mar
riages in the wilds OF Africa. Nearly
fifty years ago Daniel Kumler Flickin-
ger, then secretary Of the missionary
board of the church was in West Afri-
ca on mission work. While visiting
congregational missionary announce
ment was made that a male child had
been born in the negro village. The
host Of DR.. Flickinger christened the
baby Daniel Flickinger Wilberforce.
Twelve years later the boy had been
brought to America by a returning
missionary. DIR. Flickinger accidental
ly discovered his namesake at work at
the missiona y house in New York. Dr.
Flickinger' took the lad to Dayton, o.
The boy was sent to school, then
through high school, and later to
medical college at Cleveland. He mar
ried a negress at Dayton. Later the
two went to Africa to do missionary
work among the old tribe from which
Wilberforce came. Later the mission
ary and family returned to this coun-
try and wilberforce lectured through
out the Central states. His f"'~ chill
dren, two sons and two daughters, at
tended Central college here. Two sons
are still in this country, one at Otterbein
college and the other In the Dayton
high school Wilberforce returned to
Africa. The board has been Informed
of his relapse to heathenism, Of ac-
companying plural marriages, and OF
his becoming chief of the tribe. The
venerable DR.. Flickinger is much de-
pressed over the bacEsliding Of his
protege, but sanctions the action OF

THE ELECTRIC POWER QUESTION

The question Of bringing the elec-
trio energy of the Catawba Power
company to Yorkville Is now taking
tangible shape, and the probability is
that this very important matter will
be settled within a short time.
A delegation of interested Yorkville
citizens, accompanied by Mr.. M L.
Smith, of the Glover Manufacturing
company, went over to Rock Hall last
Saturday and had a conference with
the management of the power compa-
ny on the subject.
The Yorkville delegation was COM
posed of Mr.. w. w. Lewis, president
of the York Cotton mills, Mr.. G. H.
O'Leary, president Of the Tavora mills,
Mr.. T. p Moore. president of the Nee
ly Manufacturing company, Mr.. ]. E.
Lowry, mayor of Yorkville, and Capt.
w. B. Moore.
The power company submitted a
proposition to the effect that II the
Yorkville and Clover people would
agree to take 1000 horse power, and
build the necessary line from York
vile to the power plant, the power
company would furnish power at the
rate Of $40 per horse power per annum
for day service, and night service 20 per
cent less. The power company agrees
to take back the line, which costs ST.
900 a mile, and pay for 1t in power
The plans Of the delegation contem-
plate the use of power at all Of the
cotton mills mentioned, and also for
lighting the town Of Yorkville and
running the pumps at the waterworks.
There will also, of course, be some ex-

A ST. Petersburg dispatch reports
the receipt by the czar Of General Ku-
ropatkins resignation. The general II
is understood, assumes all responsible
ity for his defeat at Mukden. 1t Is
very we'll known that he did not want
to fight, because he believed himself to
be so overwhelmingly outnumbered
that he did not have a reasonable
chance Of success. His generals, how
ever, kept clamoring for fight and he
yielded to them. His resignation was
accepted, it is stated. and now the
car is puzzled to find successor In
whom the troops will have equal con-
fidence, for in spite Of General Kuro-
patkin's reverses it is understood that
his troops still have implicit confidence
in him.

use large quantities Of fertilizers also.
The sale Of tax tags is considered as
a good indication of the use Of fertil-
izers and as tax tags unused this year
are good for use next year, there Is
very little loss in purchasing them
ahead. 1t Is only a matter Of interest
on the money, and loss may be more
than Offset by the profits on increased
sales occasioned by the deception. The
Herald also calls attention to the fact
that the cotton seed oil mills, most Of
which belong to the fertilizer compa-
nies, have raised the price Of cot
ton seed from $11.O0 to $500 a
ton, without justification 80 far
as any advance in the price Of oil Is
concerned and suggests that the real
object of the raise is to induce the
farmers to sell their seed instead of
use them as fertilizer. Just how much
there is in the suggestions Of the Her
aid, we do not know; but 1t is evil
dent that the writer Of the article has
a pretty good idea Of the situation.

SUING OBERLIN CARTER.-Simuitane
ously with the activity In the Greene
and Gaynor extradition case, says a
Washington dispatch, Federal author
tiles at Chicago have been pressing
the SUIT against Capt. Oberlin M. Car
ter. Witnesses have recently been ex-
amined by Commissioner Waland, and
the case has been set for trial before
Judge Kohlsaat at an early date.
Horace G. Stone. attorney for Cap
tain Carter, declares revelations will
he made by the defense that will as
tonish the country. -
The suit of the government Is for
the recovery Of bonds to the amount
of $2s5.000. which. It Is alleged, Car
ter received as the proceeds OF the
frauds perpetrated against the United
States in connection with the opera
tions Of Greene and Gaynor, contrac-
tors for the improvement Of the Sa-
vannah harbor.
The bonds, all but $4,000. were CIV
en- to Carter by his father-in-law,
Robert F. Westcott while the captain
was under arrest for connection with
the frauds before the courtmartlal
trial which convicted him. After turn
ing over the last Of the bonds West
colt left the country and soon after

A RUMoR gained currency recently to
the effect that the president was about
to set up a new iron-clad policy as the
result of which no man who has held
an appointive Federal office for as
long a period as eight years might ex-
pect re-appointment. AS might have
been expected. the alarming news
spread like wildfire, and last week, ac-
cording to dispatches. Washington was
literally overrun with office-holders
and their friends, and with offlce-seek-
ers. The office-holders were there In
the interest Of their own jobs and the
office-seekers thought the situation
furnished them the opportunity for
which they had so long been waiting.
The matter became so serious that 1t
was deemed necessary to discuss 1t In
cabinet meeting, and It was finally de-
cided to give out a statement to the
effect that the government was not
inclined to make changes on account
Of length Of service SO long as such
service continues satisfactory.

NOTE AND COMMENT.

This being an off-year in politics, 1t
Is just as we'll that the road question
be brought prominently to the fore. 1t
seems rather difficult to interest the
people in this question in the summer
time while the roads are good, and In
the winter when the question forces
itself upon public attention but little
can be done. The thing is for every
body to preach good roads from now
on and show their earnestness by their
willingness to do.
The rain Of Saturday night and Sum
parts Of the county. The overhanging
clouds following the rain and snow OF
some weeks ago has kept the ground
from drying as rapidly as otherwise;
but still 1t was getting hard in places,
and most of the farmers were ready
for a shower There has been lots OF
good work done throughout this whole
section during the past two weeks and
the farmers everywhere continue busy.
That was not pleasant story that
was told about the York county Jail In
THE ENQUIRER Of last Friday; but as
we see 1t there Is nobody to blame
much for existing conditions except
the people Of York county. The vari-
Gus sheriffs have done what they could
to keep the Jail as clean as possible,
and all that can reasonably be expect
ed is now being done. But In the very
nature Of the case, 1t is next to impos-
sible to maintain sanitary conditions
up to standard Of average safety.
The jail Is not secure and 1t cannot be
made secure by patchwork.
What this country needs more than
anything else, said Rev. DR.. w. g.
Neville to the reporter one day last
week, Is more first-class high schools.
The high schools are too few and far
between, and their absence leaves too
much primary work for the colleges.
Give q boy the advantages afforded by
a first -class high school, and even II
he Is unable to get to college he has a
good chance to make his way In the
world. The public common school sys-
TEN Is developing very satisfactorily,
Dr. Neville thinks; but there Is much
need for better high school opportuni-
ties.

"THE SOUTH Is BREAKINa."-A Liv-
'erpool Englishman sends the New Or
leans Times Democrat the following
lines which recently appeared in the

nificance:
