south always depended chiefly upon
its native population for the work.
Therefore in view of the scarcity, not
only of common labor, but of skilled
labor, 1t becomes necessary to train
every available man to be Of the ut
most use by developing his intelli-
gence, his skill and capacity for con-
scien:ious effort. Hence the work Of
Tuskegee institute Is a matter Of the
highest practical Importance to both
white and black man." Closing, the
president said: 1.-The hope Of ad-
vancement for the colored man In the
south lies in his steady, common
sense effort to improve his moral and
material condition and to work In
harmony with the white man In up
building the commonwealth. The fu-
ture of the south now depends upon
the people of both races living up to
the spirit and letter of laws Of their
several states, and working out the
destinies of both races not as races,
but as law abiding American citi-

WILL MAKE 'EM HOT.
Thomas Dixon, Jr, Writes From New
York His Version of It.

Thomas Dixon, Jr., Writes From New
York His Version of IL.
(From the New York Times).
To the Editor of the New York Times:
Permit me to correct the misleading
account Of the so-called hostile dem
onstration in the south against my
play, THE Clansman."
The statement that the play was
hissed at Columbia Is absolutely false.
The villains were Kissed. The hero
and heroine cheered. The play as a
whole was received by an audience OF
1000 people with the same enthusi-
asm with which 1t has been greeted In
every southern city. This reception
has been in every way remarkable. In
many places the hotels have been un-
able to find accommodations for the
out-of-town people. Every seat Is sold
the day the box office is opened, and
in many instances tickets have been
sold by local spectators for $40 each.
No theatre Is large enough to hold the
crowds, and the best evidence of what
people in the south think Of the play
Is found in the fact that hundreds who
witness a matinee come back and
struggle in line to buy standing room
for the evening.
The hostile" demonstration at CO.
lumbia was a complete fiasco-a put
up job by young friends Of jay ed
itor who had been writing columns OF
editorial abuse Of the play before he
had seen 1t. These youngsters ar
ranged their plans for the demon
stration" at the hotel before the mat
inee. A gentleman who overheard
them reported the fact to me. The
scheme was gotten up in order that 1t
l. % Vnrly re p
ter failure made no difference to the
man who worked the wires, however.
He sent his report just the same. In
the simplicity Of his rural soul he felt
that he could forestall the judgment
Of the metropolis.
At the matinee l refused to answer
the curtain call, fearing that any dis
turbance in such a crowd OF women
might cause a panic.
In the evening a special detail Of
officers in citizens clothes were pres
ent. Fearing that I would not an
swer the call again, one Of the young
men, posing as friend, came behind
the scenes and begged me between
each act to respond. At the end OF
the third act I did so, and the half
hiss. They were drowned by tumult
of applause. / stood for moment
looking into the faces of the three
leaders, who were seated together,
Immediately before me in the second
row of the orchestra They repeated
their Kisses, and the crowd again
drowned them in a roar of applause.
I began to laugh at them. and the au-
dience followed my example. At the
end of my speech of thanks I turned
to the young men, cracked joke at
their expense, and withdrew, with the
whole house laughing at them.
They followed me to my hotel and
tried to provoke a fight in the pres
ence of my wife. One Of them, later
in the evening, came upstairs without
announcing and attempted to force
himself into my room after Mrs. Dixon
had retired.
The less said about such men as rep
resentatives Of southern opinion the
better. Such critics are always a
mans best friends.

THEATRICAL TRUST.

1T used to be that all the RESPONSE
bility for booking good shows rested
with the opera house managers: but
it is not that way now. Indeed the
opera house managers have but little
to do with the matter"
This information was ELECTED from a
travelling show man a day or two ago,
in reply to an observation from the re-
porter to the effect that there seems to
have been very noticeable deterioration
in the quality of the shows that come
through this way now. He went on to
say.
1.-THE show business Is now controlled
by what Is commonly called the thea
.rical trust with headquarters in New
York This trust attends to the booking
and routing Of the various shows. and
manages the situation with an iron
hand. The companies have to go where
they are sent and the opera houses
have to take what comes to them, or
nothing.
Under the management of the trust,
good shows are often sent to small
towns and poor shows to large towns.
There is great dissatisfaction among
the opera house people and the show
people: but up to the present there has
been no relief for the situation"

WITHIN THE TOWN,

- The shoe shines complain that
their business has suffered by reason
of the cement sidewalks.
Mr.. M. A. w. Smith Is desperately
Ill with typhoid fever, at his home on
Lincoln street, and when THE ENoUI-
RER went to press at p. m, 1t was
thought that he was dying.
1t Is very difficult to have wood
cut just at this time for the reason
that the labor, which would otherwise
be so engaged Is busy at something
else. The need for the steam wood
saw Is generally appreciated.
Prof L. w. Jenkins, principal of
the Yorkville Graded school has in
vented an electrical signal clock that
summons the various classes to feci-
tations The time Is marked by clock
mechanism and the signals are sounded
by means of an electrical apparatus that
causes the ringing Of a gong. One
winding is sufficient to keep the ma
chine going for a week.
There: were something like 1000
bales of cotton sold on this mark
ct last year, but local buyers are not
calculating on more than nine thousand
this year. They expect to get as large
proportion as usual; but the common
opinion is that the crop Is smaller. At
least four thousand, perhaps $500
bales have already been marketed and
the cotton season, therefore, Is more
than half over.
There have been people in York
Vile with cotton this week from nearly
every section of the county except
from across the Catawba river and
from beyond Rock Hill. 1t has been

There is a basgins famine all over
the country and Yorkville merchants
have been having hard time to supply
their customers. 1t is almost impos-
sible to buy bagging Of any kind, either
new or old.
Local attorneys to whom the repor-
ter has talked about the probable re-
suit of the Capers- Bellinger anti-dis-
pensary proceedings before Judge
Pritchard are Of opinion that. the pro-
ceedings will amount to nothing.
There has never been a time In the
history Of this county when prosperity
was more general and widespread than
II Is Just at the present time. There
Is business for everybody at fair pro-
fits and labor for everybody at good
wages. No healthy able bodied man
is able to give good excuse for idle
ness, and there Is no good reason why
anybody should be idle. All lines Of
business and industry are making
progress at a remarkable rate. and 1t
Is the duty of everybody to keep up
the lick.
The National Ginner's association
made a report last Tuesday on the
amount Of cotton ginned up to and In
cluding October IS. The figures were
4,343, 900 bales, compared with 6,418,000
bales up to the same date Of the year
before. The association estimated that
up to October 18, 45 per cent OF the
cotton crop had been ginned, and II
this estimate is correct there will be
-only $685. 900 bales this year. The as
ISOLATION report had q marked effect
on the market, putting Liverpool from
80 to "a points higher.
"An incident connected with the big
cotton rush of last Friday, Saturday
and Monday, that Is worthy Of especial
Mention" said a buyer to the reporter
a day or two ago, "is the loyalty with
which sellers stood by their. bargains.
BY that mean that during Friday yand
such a price buyers offered 10 cents
for large quantities Of cotton and closed
trades at that figure. BY Monday the
price had advanced sufficiently to war
rant 10a. Lots of cotton was bought at
10a and there was reason to antici-
pate that some of the people who ha i
sold On Friday and Saturday at L.
might want to claim the price that
ruled at the time of delivery. They
had no right to do 80, Of course, but
such a thing has been known to occur
in times past and the situation seemed
to invite 1t again. But there was not
a single instance Of the kind so far as
I have learned. Every seller stuck to
his bargain. delivered his cotton, took
his pay without dissatisfac ton, and
that Is all there was of 1t. It frequent
ly happens that cotton goes down on
us buyers after we have paid long
prices, and we have to take our medi-
cine. It was proven on Tuesday that
most of the sellers are game as any
body could wish"

have been pocket picking at Carthage;
but II Is just as apt to have been the
work of professionals who came there
to take advantage Of the crowds at the
fair which was in progress at the time.
That the show people would get the
credit for anything Of this kind Is
quite natural; but the reputation OF
our management for keeping swindlers
and sharpers out of the tents Is we'll
established.
Then again." Mr.. Steele contin-
ued, II think the correspondent did us
an injustice in the suggestion that our
show Is not up to a high standard.
You tell me that John Robinson and
Wallace Bros, rank with the best
shows that have ever been here. They
are good shows: but ours Is easily up
to the standard Of either from any
viewpoint you want to assume. We
have a flrst-class menagerie, headed
by the largest and smallest elephants
In the country and numerous dens and
cages Of animals. Altogether we have
about 80 horses and 250 people, and
our performances include some of the
most difficult and interesting feats
that are to be seen In the country.
The papers generally have been giving
us good notices, and just why this
particular correspondent should have
given us such a roast I cannot say"
Mr.. Steele had with him copy OF
the Raleigh News and Observer, and
called attention to a reference to the
performance at Spring Hope, N. c.,
on October 4. The reference was as
follows:
"Only one performance was given
that In the afternoon and the big tent
was packed. 1t was a good clean per-
formance and all the up-to-date circus
acts were given. Among the principal
features were the bareback and four
horse riding act Of Dan Leon. the
acrobatic work of the Hines family,
the slack wire performance Of Mrs.
Leon. The trapeze ring, ladder and
other aerial work was represented by a
large number Of clever artists. The
performance gave splendid satisfaction
and 1t was a thoroughly pleased au-
dience that left the tent. The best Of
order prevailed and the attaches OF the
circus. were strikingly polite to the
public Major e. s. Gosney, the gen.
eral manager and veteran Snowman,
strictly enforces this policy. The cir
Gus has a select menagerie, among
which is an immense elephant and q
little baby elephant only three years
old. The horses carried by the show
are magnificent specimens and were In
splendid condition as was the entire
outfit"

AT THE BANKS.

Because in the first place the gener-
al public does not know much abou,
such institutions and because In the
second place most individuals outside
the railings naturally look upon the
operations of a bank as kind or q
matter Of course, the financing OF the
big cotton rush this week has attracted
but little attention. 1t is fact, how
ever, that the local banks have MADE
a record this week-a record OF when
they and the Yorkville public have
right to be proud.
The bank, as so many people seem
to think, Is not supposed to go long
with its safes and vaults stuffed with
cash. Deposits may be large all
right, but unless all surplus mon
ey is kept busy, the bank peo-
pie are not doing much for their
stockholders. And keeping Its cash
busy Is by no means the only point 70
be watched. II 1t were only matter
of keeping capital and deposits loaned
OUT, even at good rates Of interest,
banking would be easy. But more
important thing than this Is that there
should always be cash on hand with
which to meet every check that might
be presented by deposi;ors. 1t Is all
right for an individual to stave OF
creditor: but no banker can think OF
doing such a thing with a depositor.
Such a circumstance invariably invites
disaster
No living man could have foretold
last Friday that within the next three
days there would be demands on the
banks for something like $50 900 for
cotton alone, and 1t Is exceedingly
doubtful IL both Of the banks together
had anything like that sum In cash on
hand at the time. Besides too. 1t Is
lust as well to remember that ordinary
business was going on all the while
lust the same. This was necessarily
