Death Of Robert A. GiIfillan.
Mr.. Robert A. Gilfillan died at his
home two miles east Of Sharon yester-
day morning at about Q O'Clock. His
death camn rather suddenly and unex-
pectodly and was due to congestion Of
the liver. Mr.. Gilhllan was born In
March 1851, and spent practically his
whole life IN York county. He was a
member OF Sharon Associate Reformed
church and was generally regarded as
ono }: the most substantial and upright
citizens of his neighborhood, He

Next Years Levy,
Representative Beamguard was In
Yorkvi.le yesterday and in converse
tion with the reporter stated that he
was trying to arrange to have the
county delegation in the general as
sembly meet with the county commits
sioners at their next annual meeting
on December 80. What want" said
Mr. Beamguard, and the other mem
ters of the delegation want the same
thing, is to go over the situation with
the commissioners so we will all know
exactly where we are, The levy for
this year fixed at the last session Of
the general assembly, Is mills This
is for county purposes, The present
assessment is In the leighborhood OF
100000. The comptroller general Is
making an effort to raise the assess
ment. Whether he will succeed or not,
don't know; but suppose as the re.
suit of the effort he Is making the as
sessment of the property in York coun-
ty is raised to s10,Q00,000, Well, II they
can run the business on the same num-
Der Of dollars next year as was requtr.
ed last year, we can reduce the levy,
am not prepared to say that the levy
can be reduced; but / think 1t will be
good idea for the delegation to meet
with the commissioners, consider the
situation fully and see,"

SENATOR Tillman INDUCED in pref
ty strong arraignment of President
Roosevelt last Friday, when he said OF
the president: when he sets his
heart upon anything he is absolutely
blind to the law and so determined to
have his own way that he ruthlessly
tramples under foot the constitution
of the United States" The senator ci-
ted the circumstance as to how the
senate at it's last session refused to
ratify treaty with San Domingo, and
as soon as the senate adjourned Mr.,
Roosevelt carried the provisions Of the
treaty into effect, the same as If 1t had
been ratified. OF course, there were
those to defend the president; but neV-
ertheless it is difficult to deny that not
only in this; but in various other
things, he is very much of law unto
himself

presents be admitted free Of customs
taxes. While there was no provision of
law under which this could be done,
the department could have perhaps
stretched a point so that the amount
Of duties would be merely nominal.
This. however, would have been such
a bad precedent that it was rejected
and the president himself re-enforced
this determination with the suggestion
that no favor be shown his daughter.
The duties were paid by Miss Roose-
velt's personal check.

Mr.. Finley made a speech In con-
gress last Saturday against Federal
control Of insurance.
There will be an issue Of THE EN-
ouTRER next Friday; but none next
Tuesday. The next issue after next
Friday will be on the next Friday.
The ladies Of the Bethel community
gave the chaingang convlcts a good
dinner on Thanksgiving day. The
thoughtfulness of the ladies was very
much appreciated.
Because of the continued dry weather
during the season when the ground
should have been prepared, the small
grain acreage throughout this section
as much smaller than it would have
have been otherwise.
Mr.. J.. 3. Scott found the owner OF
the calves for which he advertised last
Friday, and the owner Of those taken
up by the town was also found; but
these latter calves had escaped from
the barn and could not be delivered.
The comptroller general reports that
9O,547 dogs have been returned for
taxation for 1905, and of these York
county has $3.50. In 1883 the dogs of
the state were valued at $S0,279. and
this year they are valued only at $45,-
273.50.
There are several bills in congress to
increase the pay of r. F. D. carriers to
$1,000 a year. Congressman Finley,
who Is an influential member Of the
committee on postoffices and post
roads, says that it is not likely that an
increase will be allowed beyond $3.50
at this time; but that $1,000 will prob
ably come after a while.
The owner of local warehouse
few days ago showed the reporter a
letter from a buyer Of a neighboring
cotton mill, a letter that read some
thing like this: Il paid you a quarter
of a cent more for this warehouse cot
ton than I would have had to pay for
cotton that had been standing out In
the weather: but I would rather do
it. When the weather Is dry l will do
the best l can, but when it is wet l
will see what you can do for me-
|. Mr.. j. X. Henry went to Washington
last week to present petitions from
Che ster, Lancaster and Fairfield In
behalf of the proposition to indicate
Chester as one Of the places for hold
ing court Mr. Finley has all along
stood for Rock Hill, and it looks as
il somebody is trying to put him In
very unplo asant position in regard to
the matter. We have no doubt but
that the Rock Hill people can get up
petitions not only from Lancaster,
Fairfield and Cherokee; but also from
Chester.
The frequency with which trial
Judges set aside the verdicts OF juries
Is becoming a matter Of concern to
that portion Of the public which best
understands the matter. 1t has been
suggested that some Of the cases In
which new trials have been more or
less frequent look like contentious be-
tween the judges and the juries. There
is no disposition to question the pro-
vision of law that makes a new trial
possible where there has been an OBJ
vious mistake either on the part OF
the judge or jury; but too frequent
granting of new trials is not calculated
to increase confidence in the infalli-
bility of the courts.

AS to whether Robert Keith Dargan
really committed suicide, we do not
know. 1t is probable that he did. But
there is no doubt about the fact that
Robert Keith Dargan was a smooth
citizen and there is something unex-
plainable about the part his brother
is alleged to have played by getting
the poison for him and stand
ing by while he drank it. The -situa-
ton seems to furnish ample justih-
cation for the exhuming of the body
and we do not see how anybody Is TO
be hurt on account of such proceed
ing.

THE people voted summer before last
for a constitutional amendment pro-
viding for biennial sessions OF the
general assembly. The general assem-
bly, at it's last session turned the mat
ter over to a committee and side
tracked it until the next session. Al
the next session we are looking for the
killing of a whole lot Of time over the
dispensary, and nothing will be done
about biennial sessions. The matter
will then go back to the people and
maybe it will be squelched. Still there
are those who say the people rule.

Union special of Dec. Is. to Green

books which mYsteriously disap-
peared from the Union Cotton mills
shortly after its re-organiZation, ana
for which a reward of $2.500 was Of
fered with evidence to convict the
person taking them. has just been
found. The discovery was made by
the bookkeeper and clerk. the book
being found behind the counter in
the furniture department of the mill
store. evidently having been put there
recently by some person. There was
no dust on it. The book. which is the
1904 ledger. has thirty or more
pages missing. apparently cut out
with knife. which would indicate
crooked transactions having been
made by some one. and much further
back than ever suspected. The other
books. a current ledger and journal
taken from the mill vault, and which
are badly wanted. are still missing.

in view of the fact that 1t was doupt-
f,,I as to whether a minister could De
induced to bring the charges 1t looked
as If the whole matter would nave 10
be allowed to fall through.
Mr.. Lewis came home somewhat dls,
coura eed: but his work was not all
for nothing. He had succeeded In IN
teresting some Of the ministers In the
question raised by the Yorkville stew
ards, and before he left SpartahDurs,
the News and Courier arrived theTe
with a Yorkville letter giving com,
plete story Of the controversy IN al
noon. and pretty soon the "YorKVllle
Que stion began to boil. 1t was not long
in reaching proportions that could no
longer be ignored, and as the best way
out of an awkward situation Rev Mr.
Meadows himself presented to the con-
ference the charges that had been pre-
ferred against him by the stewards OF
Trinity, and a copy Of them Will De
found elsewhere in today's paper.
The character Of Presiding Elder
Meadows had already been passed pc
fore he caused the charges OF the
Yorkville board of stewards to be reaa
to the conference. After the reading
of the charges, the character questlon
was submitted again, that being the
conference way of disposing OF sucn
matt'r. The voting was viva Voce'
and although it is said that the yeas
came rather weakly, there were some
noes. Somebody called attention TO
the fact that laymon were voting, ana
this bel irregular the vote had 10
he taken over again. It resulted IN
he unanimous passage Of the presid-
ing elders character, but the vote was
not at all hearty. +,
There was a ,ot Of talk about the In
cident during Friday and Saturday a2d
on up to the adjournment or confer-
ence, and there seems TO be no doubt
of the fact that as the discussion
waved warmer. the sentiment In faVor
of the position of the stewards or Trim
ity church grew stronger and strong T.
Irdeed It is now bei"g urged that the
office of presiding elder Is useless one
anyway and that 1t should be abolish,
ed. Men prominent in the church hold
that II Is only q question or time
when this will come about.
