CHARLES J. BoNAPARTE.

To all except President Roosevelt's
closest advisers the announcement OF
the selection of Mr.. Bonaparte as the
head of the navy came as a distict
surprise, although it had been deter
mined on by the president for some
time in anticipation Of Mr.. Mortons
retirement. In all the gossip Mr. Bon
aparte has not been suggested as Mr..
Morton's possible successor. For many
years Mr.. Bonaparte has been an init
mate friend of the president. So great
Is Mr.. Roosevelt's confidence in him
that on many matters Of national
concern he has sought his advice and
counsel. To determine accurately the
legal phases of the postal frauds. the
president designated Mr.. Bonaparte
and Holmes Conrad to investigate the
subject and on their report he took
decisive action without hesitation.

WITHIN THE TOWN.

There has been a general freezing
and bursting of water pipes during
the past few days. ......
There have been a few bales OF
cotton on the market this week..
- There was very little business ir
Yorkville during Wednesday and yes
terday. The people were kept away
by the cold weather.
- The Crusaders are doing. good
work, but they are hardly getting
enough cash to pay their expenses
Mr.. H. c. Strauss Is soliciting sub
scriptions for their account and will
be glad to receive and turn over any
sums that citizens see proper to con-
tribute.
The local bucket shop has closed
it's DOORS and there seems to be nc
immediate probability Of its being re-
opened. This establishment was OF
some little convenience to the cotton
buvers in the matter. Of market quota

were any other benefits Is doubtful.

the water in the basin Of the court

bet of a dollar and the bet was decided
by a practical experiment. The ex-
perimenter broke through the Ice and
sank into the freezing water up to his

Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1905-01-27

Senator Brice is always an advocate
of democracy, and he seemed to think
that a compulsory measure Of this
kind smacked of monarchy. He drew
two pictures, one of widow, poor and
practically helpless. who would be ar
rested because her children had not
been sent to school. the other Of a
worthless man who IL his children
were sent to school would try to burn
the school house, fight the teacher and
otherwise institute a spirit OF anarchy.
He was opposed to anything which
resembled the hard German system.
He also thought the time stated too
short. One point the senator from
York made was that the schools should
be made more attractive, and then
voluntary attendance would result.
Senator Brice dragged from the dus-
ty archives Of the reconstruction per-
iod a bill submitted In 1872 by negro
representative from Beaufort by the
name of Green. This was stringent
compulsory education bill and Its ap-
parent similarity to Senator Raysor's
bill awakened interest. and some
smiles in the senate chamber.
The motion to indefinitely postpone
was lost by vote Of 21 to II.
