the ten-hour system have gone back
to the old eleven-hour system under
which all the other cotton mills In the
state have been operating. At the
time the new system was adopted
much criticism went up from the 9TH
er mills, the reason given for the step
by the mills being that it was thought
the same production could be had In
ten as in eleven hours, owing to the
operatives being in better physical
condition. However, after month
and half's severe test, 1t Is found
that this was mistake. The mills
which revert to the old working hours

THE declaration of the county exc
cutive- committee that York cotton
growers have made reduction of not
less than 10 per cent in their acre
age is gratifying In that 1t Is an
other evidence that the people of this
county may be relied upon to do what
they sly they will do. The Southern
Cotton Growers association called for
a reduction of 25 per cent 1t is true;
but II should be remembered that the
York farmers did not bind themselves
to that proposition. In the case or
many Of them to have done so would
have been unreasonable and absurd.
But few farmers have been planting as
much as 20 acres of cotton to the plow,
and many of them planted only to
acres. These last could not see their
way to further reduction and they de-
clined to so bind themselves. There
are cases where farmers have violated
their obligations; but these are ex-
ceptions. Taken altogether we believe
the farmers of York county have come
as near to living up to their promise
as have the farmers Of any other
county in the south.

PRICE TURNS BULL.-Whether 1t be
in an effort to get back what he may
have lost as a bear Is a matter Of opin-
ion: but Theodore H. Price has late
ly become a bull. He has sent out an
estimate OF II per cent reduction In
the cotton acreage and gives his pro-
fessed views on the situation as fol-
lows:
For over a year 1 have been per-
sistent and consistent bear upon the
cotton market, believing as l did that
the relatively high prices Of 1904 and
1903 would reduce consumption.
1.-The comparatively low prices of
late current have, however reversed
the trend of trade. The world, in my
opinion is about to witness a tremend-
Gus expansion in the cotton industry
and the prospect Of another large crop
next year is exceedingly doubtful, as
shown by my crop report, issued to-
day.
Under these conditions, l believe
that cotton can and should be now
confidently bought by all those likely
to require 1t during the next twelve
months.
Should prices decline still further
on the marketing of this years sur
plus, purchases will, in my opinion,
become only the more attractive"

WITHIN THE TOWN.

There Is common impression
abroad that there Is very little town
pride In Yorkville. People who think
that way should have been at the
Commercial club banquet last Wed
nesday night. b..
The town council has found 1t ne
cessary to issue $1,000 worth Of bonds
so as to put the town in a position to
buy the electric light plant and make
other improvements. The bonds car
be issued only after an election called
upon a petition OF the freeholders
The necessary petition is now In cir
culation and 1t Is being quite general
ly signed. There appears to be no OPP
position to the proposition.
AN immense basket Of beautiful
flowers, roses, pinks ETC.. all the most
perfect specimens Of their many dif-
ferent varieties was received at TILE
ENQUIRER Office yesterday with the
compliments of the president and
the vice president Of the Ladies
Cemetery association. The ladies
insist that THE ENQUIRER has been OF
some practical assistance to them In
the prosecution Of their most COM
mendable work in the cemetery, and
this distinguished compliment comes
as a token of their appreciation. That
THE ENQUIRER feels puffed up about
the matter, 1t will not deny; but still
1t has the fairness to admit that the
ladies are at least very generous, FOR
in the labor Of love they are perform
ing they have a perfect right to requi-
sition any or all of the resources OF
the entire community.
The mail order habit Is one that
annoys business men everywhere. II
Is nothing but a habit, and as a rule
there Is very little practical founda-
ton for II. For instance a party In
Yorkville will send to Baltimore or New
York for goods that could have just as
easily been bought right here, and
cheaper. The case Of local lady
clerk who ordered a dres pattern from
New York, and who while with great
pleasure was showing 1t to sister
clerk who ordered a dress pattern from
fact that her employer had exactly the
same goods in the store at less
the same kind could be cited, not only
here but elsewhere. For instance
Clover people will come to Yorkville
or Gastonia to buy goods that they
could have just as readily bought In
Glover, and Rock Hill people will &c
to Chester Vr Charlotte for goods OF
accommodations that they could have
I had just as easily in Rock Hill. Every
community has its people who fall to
appreciate that they owe any consid-
Grafton to those from whom they get
their living. The mail order habit Is
not a commendable one. There Is nc
question Of the fact that every indi-
vidual has a right to do with his mon
ey as he pleases, and we would. not
think Of suggesting that anyone
should buy at home articles that car
be had abroad at less price; but II
is the duty Of every individual, wheth-
er in Yorkville, Rock Hill, Glover OF
elsewhere to give his own people a
fair show. 1t Is not only his duty to
do this; but he will find 1t to his in
tcrest as well. The foundation Of re-
ciprocity is to be found in the golden
rule.

THE COMMERCIAL CLUB.

The annual meeting Of the CONNER
cial Club of Yorkville. was held In
the parlors of that institution last
Wednesday evening, and after trans
acting the business Of the occasion,
the members enjoyed a banquet at the
Parish hotel.
The election Of officers resulted as
follows: President, w. B. Moore;
vice president, M. c. willis; : sec
retary and treasurer, John r. Hart;
board of governors: w. r. Carroll, O.
E. Grist, l. W. Johnson, w. w. Lewis
DIR. j. d. Mcdowell, B. N. Moore, l.
H. Norris, ]. A. Tate, w. Brown Wylie
Tributes of respect were adopted to
the memory Of Mr.. James w. Snider
and Major James F. Hart, two men,
bers Of the club who have passed
away since the last annual meeting.
There were forty chairs at the BAN
quet tables and after due justice to
most creditable spread, there was
something over an hour Of speech
making. lasting until IL o'clock.
Mr.. Moore acted as toastmaster
starting the talking with review OF
the work Of the club since its organi-
zation and offering some wholesome
suggestions as to how to best promote
the welfare Of the town and commu-
nifty. He was followed by Mr.. W. D
Grist with some observations on the
past, present and future Of Yorkyille
Mr.. /. H. Norris talked for about five
minutes on the subject Of stock raising
from an economic standpoint He was
followed by Mr.. ]. E. Lowry on the
line of policy that Is being pursued by
the town council, and next came Prof
]. c. Allen with thoughtful and In
teresting talk on education. Mr.. Louis
Roth made the hit Of the evening In
response to the toast, Woman with
out ever once mentioning his subject
and Congressman Finley had some
very pleasant and truthful things to
say about Yorkville and also gave
some interesting information as to
postal, photographic and geological
matters In his district.
There were to have been several
other speeches: but 1t was deemed
best to curtail the programme on ac-
count of the lateness Of the hour, and
everybody went home feeling that the
occasion had been a huge success.
The Commercial club now numbers
about fifty members and Is In good
shape financially and otherwise.

spirit. Such q presentation could be
no insinuation against character or
commercial standing. 1t Is no disgrace
to have outstanding accounts. AS
showing, however, how carefully the
government protects its citizens In the
matter Of mail facilities a case may
be cited which was decided at Column
bus a few years ago: A creditor sent
to an alleged debtor postal card up
on which was copied a passage OF
Scripture, foreshadowing the fate OF
the swindler, and a written sugges-
ton by the sender that the recipient
read 1t and study 1t. But the passage
of Scripture was not sufficient to as
suage the sender's grief when he was
asked to pay heavy fine for his lit
tie joke To be safe, all Of the matter
should be kept away from postal
cards. If a dun has not sufficient
prospect of return to warrant the use
of a 2-cent stamp, 1t would not be
worth while wasting a postal card on.

Rev. w. E. Thayer returned Tues
day night from winchester, KY. He
preached ITO the congregation Of the
First Baptist = church Of Winchester
Sunday, but -is-rot yet ready to an
nounce his decision In regard to the
call extended him to the pastorate of
that church. 1t Is. sincerely hoped,
however, by his members and the peo-
pie generally of this community as
we'll. that Mr.. Thayer will remain In
Rock Hill.
One of the hardest rains that has
visited this section for some time past,
fell here Wednesday morning and ear
ly in the afternoon Of the same day.
Farmers who were In the city Thurs
day reported that much damage had
been done by the rain. The land Is
badly washed, upland as we'll as bot
tom lands. 1t washed worse because
of the fact, that there has been no hard
rains to settle the ground since the
spring plowing and planting has been
done.
Where corn and cotton were not up
to q stand before the rain, there will
doubtless be some trouble in securing
a stand as the ground will be so thor
oughly packed that a hard crust will
form on the surface when 1t dries.
The matter Of a reduction in the
cotton acreage and the use Of CONNER
cial fertilizers is subject Of much
discussion on the streets these days,
some claiming that there will be a de-
cided decrease, both In acreage and In
the use of fertilizers, while others
contend that there will be almost as
much cotton planted and fertilizers
used this year as there was last year.
1t is claimed, however, that while the
same amount Of fertilizers may be
used, a larger proportion Of 1t will be
used under the corn crop than has
been heretofore, and there will be a
considerable decrease in the amount
used under the cotton crop. 1t Is also
claimed by some that In many In
stances where the acreage to the plow
has been reduced an extra horse has
been added on and in this way the
same number Of acres, or probably
few more, will be worked. A wet
May will probably accomplish as much
toward reducing the acreage as any
other one thing. Many farmers are
scarce of labor in this section and If
weather conditions are not favorable
they will not be able to work the crop
they have planted.
Mrs. Lula Jordan received let
ter a few days ago from her hus-
band, G. w. Jordan, who very sudden

wish to leave her parents and other
relatives and friends in this state.

bagging, and should decide as unit
what kind they will use: and whereas
the committee Is of the opinion that 1t
Is the desire of the farmers OF York
county that this matter be pushed to
a successful determination, and that
all parties interested be invited to CO.
operate with them; resolved by the
executive committee Of York County
Southern Cotton association:
First. That President E. d. Smith,
of the State association, be requested
to urge President Harvie Jordan Of
the Southern States association, to
take this matter up at once with the
proper parties, In order that there may
be unity of action throughout the
south.
Second. That President Jordan be
especially requested by President
Smith to make satisfactory arrange
ments with the cotton exchanges OF
New Orleans, New York and Liver
pool, whereby the difference In weight
between cotton bagging and jute bag.
ging may be recognized and adjusted
on a fair and equitable basis, In order
that the "tare" on each bale may be
changed to meet the new wrapping for
cotton.
Third. That, subject to the above
action, the committee earnestly recon-
mends to the farmers Of York county
the substitution of cotton for burlap
and jute as suggested by Charleston
which suggestion is hereby heartily
endorsed.

THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

The county board Of commissioners
met in the office Of the supervisor last
Wednesday and considered various
matters of public concern, especially
the Allison Creek bridge matter and
the condition Of the county jail.
The bridge question was brought up
by a delegation Of citizens from the
section especially interested, they be-
ing impatient that so long a time has
elapsed without a definite understand
ing being reached.
II will be remembered that the back
water caused by the Catawba dam did
away with the bridge that the county
had been maintaining across the
mouth Of Allison creek and put the
people who had been accustomed to
the use of the crossing to the incon-
yenience of going several miles out OF
their way to get from point to point
on different sides Of the creek. The
situation involved responsibility to
both the power company and the coun-
ty: but up to this time no agreement
has been reached as to just what
should be done by either side, and the
people are still compelled to go a con-
siderable distance out Of their way
to get across the creek.
The cost of the old bridge, under
original conditions, was several hum
dred dollars, and new wooden
bridge to meet present conditions will
cost between $4,000 and $4,000. II
steel piers are used the cost will be In
the neighborhood of $4,000. The COM
missioners have proposed that IL the
power people will build a steel pier
bridge, the county will contribute $500
toward defraying the expense and
will maintain the bridge In the future.
The power people do not consider this
proposition fair, and so matters stand.
The idea Of suing the power COM
pany has been under consideration for
some time past; but up to this time
nothing has been done. The delega-
ton which went before the board in
regard to the matter Wednesday pro-
posed that suit be brought. The board
seemed to be OF opinion that there Is
nothing further to do: but Mr.. Rainey
desired to view the situation before
taking final action, and 1t was agreed
that the board go over the proposed
site again today. Unless some salts
factory arrangement can be arrived
at between the power company and
the county, the understanding is that
suit will be commenced against the
power company without further delay
The report Of the grand jury as to
the county Jail was considered In con-
nection with the rule Of Judge Purdy
against the supervisor to show cause
why something had not been done.
The board visited the jail in a body,
and found conditions as they have
been described except that since the
clearing out Of the prisoners by the
recent term Of the court Of general
sessions the sheriff has been doing a
lot of scrubbing that has not been
without effect. Although no formal
action was taken, 1t was clearly the
