FAITH IN THE FARMERS.
No Reason to Doubt That They Will
.. Measure Up to All Tests. 81,


Editor Yorkville Enquirer:
Right In our midst I occasionally
hear the same prophecy-made more in
the way Of fear than hope-that we
see expressed lis 1t not with favor
Of hope?) now and then In the daily
press, to wit: That the farmers are not
going to reduce the 1905 cotton acre
age at all, to say nothing about 25o
reduction. But II that prophecy Is no
more correct applied elsewhere than
here, the friends Of the movement need
not be greatly worried.
OF the nine townships in York coun-
ty, all have been heard from on the
subject except one. and I am sure that
the failure here is a mere oversight.
Judging the whole county by the eight
townships that have spoken, the pledg-
es are being made with remarkable
unanimity. .....- .
For one I have an abiding faith that
those who have made the pledge will
stand to It; and further that the most
of those who have not will reduce
anyway. To doubt concerning the
first would be to doubt the honesty Of
people whose reputation along that
line has always been Of the highest:
and to doubt concerning the second
would be not only to rate the nom
pledging class as enemies Of the move
ment, but as having faith In its final
success nevertheless. For II nobody
reduces we may expect another thir-
teen million bale crop, and five cents
cotton Qess than the cost of produc-
tom; and the result will be very lit
tie better If the reduction is not gene
ral
Let the friends Of the movement at
least continue both to work and to
hope-work. especially along the re-
duction line, and hope for its accom-
plishment. Yours truly,
G.. E. SPENCER,
President York County S. c. Asso.

contract. It is like this: A merchant
contracts with the VIC. or Armour
people for say 500 tons deliverable on
order at a fixed guaranteed price, with
the understanding, however, that the
merchant has only to order out what
he needs. The fertilizer company OBJ
ligates itself to furnish the entire
amount contracted for IL 1t be requir-
ed; but the merchant does not have to
take a ton more than he can sell. The
VIC. company had contracts Of this
kind calling for many thousands Of
tons; but it very we'll knew at the time
it was claiming to have made such In
creased sales, that 1t would never be
able to deliver half the goods its con-
tracts called for.
The daily papers are constantly
printing reports to the effect that the
sales Of privilege tax tags indicate
the largely increased use Of fertilizers
this year as compared with last year.
These papers also take pains to ex-
plain in connection with these reports
that the surplus fertilizers being sold
are not to go under cotton, but under
corn and other crops. We do not take
much stock in these explanations, and
we do not pretend to be able to give
an absolutely accurate explanation; but
remembering as we do that unused
tags are redeemed by the state at face
value, we prefer to believe that the
object Of these excess purchases Is to
affect the market Of VIC. stock. We
certainly do not believe that the fertil-
izer shipments are anything like what
they were last year.
So far as the individual farmer is
concerned, he cannot afford to be gov
erned by stock jobbing reports Of any
kind. II he believes the stories Of in
creased use Of fertilizers as compared
with last year, he will do well to use
none at all. The only safe thing for
him to do. II he has so promised, Is to
go ahead and reduce his acreage and
fertilizers 25 per cent and let 1t go at
that. If he has not so promised, he
will lose nothing by doing this any
way.

NOTE AND COMM EMIT.

York eounty's share Of the general
dispensary fund this year is $3.643.35.
or 34a cents per pupil.
Farmers are reporting that the
ground is getting too hard for easy
blowing; but they are still working
hard.
There is quite a strong demand for
sorghum seed. Several local dealers
have found 1t necessary to replenish
their stocks more than once. This
seems to Indicate that the farmers in
tend to have a supply Of green feed
early.
Realizing the necessity Of such a
record, Sheriff Brown has determined
to keep a book in which he proposes
to keep the essential facts in connec-
ton with such crimes as may hereaf-
ter be committed in the county. He
will pay especial attention to escaped
criminals. setting down where he can
get the information, their complete
descriptions and other information
that may facilitate Identification here
after.

SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS.

- Greenville special Of Monday to the
News and Courier: Six negroes con-
fined in the county Jail made desper-
ate effort to escape this evening at
o'clock. Innes Wood, charged with
wife murder, Is at large, but, Jim
Jones, the other prisoner, who sue
ceeded in passing the jailer, was
captured a few minutes later. The
other four did not pass the bulky
seven inches in height and weighs
over 200 pounds. For several min
utes he fought the desperate crimi-
nails, who vainly endeavored to secure
his pistol Not until he had dragged
them to the door Of the corridor did
the taller succeed in wrenching his
arm free. With a blow he felled one
of his assailants and then drawing
his pistol, he sent the others back to
their cells like frightened rabbits. The
escape of Wood is the third that has
taken place in the history Of the jail
The negroes discovered a defective
lock on one Of the; cells. They all
congregated within. and when the cor
ridor was opened to place coal In the
furnace, they made dash for liberty
Noes feat is considered remarkable
and there Is scarcely another man In

Columbia correspondence News and
Courier: The people Of Cherokee coun-
ty appear to be very much disturbed
about the proposed reopening Of the
Jenkins distillery in Cherokee county
They think that the county has indi-
Gated plainly that 1t does not want
liquor. They have voted the dispen-
saries out and do not want distilleries
The Brice law makes no provision for
the removal Of distilleries, and 1t is
for the state board Of control to say
whether a distillery is left in county
that voted out the dispensaries. Mr.
Ed DeCamp is waging war against
any distillery being operated In Cher
okee county, as the county has plainly
shown that 1t wants to have nothing
to do with liquor. 1t appears, from
what can be ascertained here, that
Jenkins's permit to run a distillery
was revoked some time ago, upon the
report of Chief Hammett, and that his
appliances were conflscated by the
Federal government. If his license
has been renewed Mr.. Hammett has
not been so advised, and at all events
he could not re- e-establish his distillery
at the old place, as that seems to have
come within the statutory prohibition,
being too close to a church. The state
board had a petition from Jenkins to
allow him to reopen his distillery, and
Jenkins employed counsel to urge his
right to re-establish his place, but as
far as is known such a renewal has
not been granted by the state board
Of control.

Almost fire.
Mr.. R. N. Plaxico Of the Bethany
neighborhood, had a narrow escapt
from a serious cotton fire few days

cotton. A flame swept over the pile;
but very little damage was done.

the situation: Farmer-What Is cotton

ASSOCIATE REFORMED SYNOD.


The Centennial History Of the AS
sociate Reformed Synod has just been
issued from the press Of Walker,
Evans & Cogswell, Charleston, and Is
book of unusual interest especially
to Associate Reformed Presbyterians
everywhere.
This volume had its origin at the
celebration of the one hundredth ami
versary Of the organization Of the AS
sociate Reformed synod, which cele-
bration took place at Ebenezer or
Birch church. in Fairfield county, In
April 1903. The synod had been or
ganized at this same church just one
hundred years before.
The centennial volume is a book OF
75O pages, printed in large type, on
good paper and handsomely bound In
cloth, and filled with matter that Is
most interesting The first part 10
devoted to a general history of the
Associate Reformed church, followed
by sketches Of the foreign and home
mission boards, and sketches Of the
various presbyteries, to wit: Arkansas,
First, Georgia, Kentucky, Memphis,
Second, Tennessee, Alabama, Texas,
Tampico, Virginia. Part two includes
sketches of all the ministers who
have ever been connected with the
synod. Part three includes sketches
Of the congregations. Part four in
cludes sketches of the congregations
and of all the addresses and papers
that went to make up the centennial
celebration proceedings.
A feature of the book that is Of
striking interest Is the important part
that York county has played and still
plays in the affairs Of the synod from
its original organization to its remot-
est confines. Among the native York
county ministers are included the fol-
lowing: w. s. Castles, ]. r. Edwards
J. Galloway, r. M. Galloway, l. l..
Grier, T. w. Hayes, Joseph Lowry, w.
Y. Love, w. M. McElwee, Sr., D. D.;
w. M. McElwee, Jr., D. D.; John Mil
Ter, d. D.; w. A. M. Plaxico' w. b.
Pressly, ]. M. White.
1t Is to be noted also that several
of the western churches owe their or
igin to emigrants from York county.
There are cases where dozen or more
families have moved to the west to-
gether, and one Of the first steps af-
ter settling down in their new homes
was to proceed to the organization of
churches.
The dates Of the organization. Of the
various York county churches are as
follows: Sharon, 1896; Smyrna, 1882;
Bethany, 1897; Glover, 1898; Hickory
Grove, 1888; Neely's Creek, 1880;
Rock Hill, 1896; Tirzah, 1903; York.
vile, 1853.
