ELECTRIC POWER COMING.

It is now practically certain that
the towns Of Yorkville and Glover are
to have the full benefit Of the tremen-
dous electrical current that is being
manufactured by the Catawba Power
company.
The power company has accepted
the offer of the Glover Manufacturing
company, the Nicely Manufacturing
company, the Tavora Cotton mill and
the town Of Yorkville as to price and
there now remains nothing but the
signing of a contract incorporating de-
tails of the agreement.
The immediate effect Of the coming
of the electric power to Yorkville will
be a more satisfactory and economical
means of driving the machinery that
Is now being driven by steam-no
small item in itself. But that Is not
nearly all. The towns of Glover and
Yorkville will have at convenient ac-
cess unlimited power available for the
development of new Industries of
whatever kind.
From the completion Of the power
company's lines from the river to
Yorkville and Glover, these towns viii
be on equality with Rock Hill. Fort
Mill and Charlotte on the power ques-
ticn, and can offer at least as great
inducements for the location Of new
featuring Industries of whatever
character. That this development will
mean more rapid growth for both of
these towns. and additional advan-
tages for the country along the route
of the power line there can be no
question.

BETHEL FARMERS.

Mr.. R. L. Campbell of Bethel town
ship was in Yorkville yesterday In
connection with the business Of the
township cotton association, Of which
he is acting secretary. and being thor
oughly familiar with the subject In
hand talked interestingly of the sit
uation.
I'VE have made a complete canvass
Of the township" said Mr.. Campbell,
land the condition of affairs that has
been disclosed has furnished some sur
prises.
I'm the first place, when we started
out, we thought that there must be
about 1,200 bales of cotton in the
township. I'll not tell you how many
we did find; but we found nothing like
that. Many of the people who were
supposed to be holding their cotton
had already sold at 10 and cents. and
it has been counted in the receipts
long ago.
"And another thing that I thought
was different. We were surprised to
learn that there is not a farmer in
Bethel who raises as much as 100
bales Of cotton in a season. and there
has not been for several years past.
But there Is lots of money in the
township, more than l have ever
known at any season. There are

There was excitement in Swamp
town Sunday night because Of the al
legged presence Of bear or "varmint."
A negro fired q revolver five times In
rapid succession and gave the var
mint" as an excuse. There Is no GER
tainty, however. that he saw anything.
The annual meeting Of the York
County Bible society was held in the
Associate Reformed church last Sun
day night. The exercises Of the occa-
sion were opened with very able SER
mon by Rev. DIR. D. J. Brimm Of Rock
Hill. Rev. DR.. ]. L. Stokes presided.
A statement was read from Mr.. w.
M. Kennedy, depository, showing the
sales Of Bibles during the year. Fol-
ty-four people paid the annual MEM
bership fee Of so cents each and
committee Of ladies was appointed to
raise the number to 100. The funds
Of the society were supplemented by
general collection. DR.. ]. L. Stokes
was elected president and Revs. w. c.
Ewart and w. E. Hurt were elected
vice presidents. Mr.. w. B. Moore was
elected secretary and treasurer, and
one executive committeeman was
chosen from each congregation. Mr..
w. M. Kennedy was reelected depos-
itory, and will continue to keep the
societys Bibles In stock at his store,
selling to those who desire to buy at
practical cost and giving to those
who are without means to buy. Mrs.
w. G. Neville was elected as a life
member of the general society, the
York County organization contribut-
ing $50 for the privilege Of comforting
that honor upon her.

II there was any doubt on the ques-
ton as to whether fertilizer sales of
this season aggregate in amount those
Of last season, the following letter to
a Yorkville business man from one OF
the largest fertilizer concerns In the
trade ought to throw some light on the
subject. The letter was received last
Saturday.
Dear Sir:
Have you made up the mixed car
for your customers who failed to order
exactly as much Of some particular
analysis as they will need?
If you have. send 1t in and it will
be shipped at once. II you lack a
few tons, fill II out with one Of the
standard analyses; you are sure to
have a call for them yet. II you
should only need a ton or two, send
in the order anyway. The less than
carlot rate will be but few cents
per ton more.
The Western Union, Postal and
Long Distance phone are at your
service. We pay the charges.
Very truly.

WILLIAM E. Curtis, the we'll known
correspondent OF the Chicago Record
Herald, has been writing his daily let
ters from Alabama during the past
few weeks and In last Thursdays pa
per he has an Interesting letter on the
cotton situate His letter Is very
able, and excepl in two or three par
ticulars remarkably true to the facts.
This paragraph is especially wise and
timely:
Another curse, equally demoraliz-
ing, Is the general and habitual meth
cd Of mortgaging crops; the ancient
plan Of living ahead Of their incomes,
which has been practiced by white
planters throughout the south for
generations, and has been acquired by
Imitation by their negro tenants. 1t
Is the habit Of a great majority OF the
southern planters, black and white, to
spend their money before they get It,
by mortgaging prospective crops to
secure advances made them by COM
mission men to pay for their supplies
and other expenses. This practice ex-
tends 20 the white and negro tenantry
of the large plantations throughout
the south. When a man rents tract
Of cotton land on shares Gas 35 per
cent of the land Is cultivated) he ex-
poets his landlord to furnish him ami
mails, implements. seed, food. clothing
and everything else that he or his
family shall require. and charge what
ever is given him against the proceeds
Of the coming crop when 1t shall be
harvested and sold The landlord
therefore, makes a double profit from
the tenant. The tenant never gets
ahead. He usually consumes the en-
tire value Of his cotton before he picks
it, and thus he goes on from year to
year, gaining nothing and getting
nothing but a living for his labor. 1t
Is useless to discuss this subject In
the south. Nearly everybody Is will
ing to admit that the practice Is vic
ious, demoralizing and ruinous; but 1t
Is fastened upon the people and they
seem to be satisfied with It,"
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1905-04-04
NOTE AND COMM EMIT.

Treasurer Nicely has turned over to
Sheriff Brown a big batch Of tax exc
cutions.
Farmers report that the ground Is
growing quite hard and that plowing
is difficult. There Is q. general desire
for a good plow season.
They are running cotton gins with
electric power over in Anderson, and
this will soon be practicable also in
York between Yorkville and the Ca
tawba river.
If the Southern railroad carries out
its reported intention Of pushing the
Charleston division across the noun
tains from Marion, N. c., this county
will soon have the advantage Of an
other important main line Of railroad.
Mr.. !. 3. Faires has been employed
to survey the line for the wires Of the
Catawba Power company from the
dam on the Catawba to Yorkville. The
line will be nearly straight just little
north Of east, provided 1t comes d.
rect, which will be the case unless
there is trouble in securing the right
Of way.
Mr.. James Bigger Of the Ramah
neighborhood reports at least one case
under his observation where farmer
has already planted corn on cotton
land that last year made bale to the
acre. He says that the cotton acreage
in his section was already small; but
it will certainly be reduced still fur
ther.
A baseball team composed Of small
er boys of the Yorkville Graded school
went down to McConnellsville last
Saturday. accompanied by Superin-
tendent Allen and played game with
the boys of the McConnellsville school.
The score was 7 to IA in favor of the
McConnellsville boys. Supt. Allen
acted as umpire. He says that with
the exception Of one inning which was
a little rocky, the game was good

WITHIN THE TOWN.

The continued dry weather has
made the starting of the street sprink-
ler desirable.
The members Of the local bar are
unusually busy getting in shape for
the approaching term Of the court.
Work on the walls Of the Nicely
mill progressed rather slowly last
week because Of the delay in the de-
livery Of brick. The railroads seem
to have more business than they can
keep up with.
The cotton receipts continue light
There have been a few. small lots OF
cotton sold during the past few weeks
but not a great many. Most Of the
cotton sold of late has been Of the
dog tall grades.
The coming of electric power Will
make practicable the use Of small
motors with which to run sewing ma
chimes, even. 1t is probable also that
the cost of such power will be low
enough to warrant its use for the pur-
pose.
There was quite a large audience
at the moving picture show In the
Graded school auditorium last Friday
night: but 1t would hardly be fair to
say that the show was a success. The
singing was considered good and was
literally applauded; but the presenta-
tion of the pictures was anything but
satisfactory.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1905-04-04

plenty Of people who have money that
they are willing to lend at 6 per cent,
and know of several who are willing
to invest from $1,000 to $4,000 each in
first-class cotton at cents pound.
They are more inclined to buy than
they are to sell.
"The Southern Cotton association
pledges have been generally signed. A
few people have refused to sign; but
1t Is not because of any lack Of SYM
pathy with the movement They are
already reduced below the average
limits, and cannot reduce any further.
It would not be fair to ask them to
do so.
"And there Is another thing that you
might be glad to know. All the cotton
in the township is under cover, and is
being we'll protected. You can ride
from house to house among people
who have from three to twenty bales
each and not see bale, and much of
this cotton will stay where 1t is. even
after the price passes ten cents"
