Germany and France as the former
country was pressing the latter very
severely, automatically.
After considerable further fencing
between Germany and France, those
two powers on July 8, 1905, agreed on
the basis Of a program for the pro-
posed international conference and
without entering into details Of the
reforms proposed 1t may be said that
the main and most dangerous point
to be discussed at the conference is
the question whether France is or is
not entitled to have q special and
privileged position in Morocco. This
Is the vital issue and the minor ques-
ton. 1t has been pointed out, can be
adjusted once this point Is definitely
settled. Germany, 1t Is understood,
will seek to secure international con-
troll Of the police, the customs and
other matters, and "open door" as to
commerce.
On December IA the French gov
ernment issued a yellow book setting
forth its side of the controversy and
January the German government
published a white book giving its ver-
sion Of the dispute.
The powers interested are to try to
settle the matter by conference to
be held at Algecisas, Spain, commenc-
| ing January 16.

The O'Leary building is being
rushed to completion as rapidly as
possible and the Thomson Co. hopes
to get into it by January %.
- The purchase Of the Wheeler Coach
factory lot referred to last Tuesday
was made by Messrs. w. r. Carroll
and Louis Roth instead Of by Mr..
Carroll alone. These two gentlemen
will be interested together in the con-
templated improvements.
- The first annual meeting Of the
stockholders of the Nicely Manufacture
Ing company was held last Tuesday
afternoon. President Moore made a
statement showing what had been
done since the organization Of the
company and the statement was quite
satisfactory to all concerned. The old
board Of electors was reelected.
-Messrs. Caldwell and Connolly, the
dairymen, give notice today that after
the Goth of January the price of milk
will be raised to cents a quart. 1T
Is impossible for us to live at the
present price," said one Of the dairy
men by way of explanation. We can't
even come out even, and the more
milk we sell the worse off we are. I
feel like I am working almost entirely
for the oil mill people-carrying
around milk collecting money and
giving 1t to them on my feed bill. l
don't like to- go up in price: but l
either have to do that or quit. Co!um-
bia pays 10 cents a quart for milk,
Chester pays cents, and 1t does look
like we ought to have 7 cents. But In
spite of all this wouldn't ask for any
more. except 1 am just obliged to-"
- The annual meeting Of the stock
holders Of the Loan and Savings bank
was held in the offices Of that insti-
tuition last Wednesday. A large ma
jority of the stock was represented.
The annual report Of President Nc
Neel showed splendid progress during
the year. The resources Of the bank
on December 81, 1904, aggregated
$3.50, 200. On December 30, 1905, the
aggregated resources were $2S3,O4S
On December 81, the surplus fund
stood at $4,000; on December 80, 1905
it was $1,000, a gain Of $4,000 during
the year after the payment OF two
semi-annual dividends. On motion OF
Rev. w. C. Ewart, a vote Of thanks
was rendered to the president and
board Of directors. The old board of
directors was reelected as follows: j.
S. Brice, w. B. Wylie, Jos. F. Wallace
c.. E. Spencer w. w. Lewis, w. 5,
Wiikerson, S. NJ. McNeel. Because OF
the unavailable absence Of several OF
the directors there was no reelection
of officers; but there is no probability
Of any changes, all concerned being
thoroughly satisfied with the situation
as 1t exists.

Wedding Of Two Popular Young Peo.
pie of Bethel.

Correspondence OF the Yorkville Enquirer.
BETHEL, January 1.-THE home Of
Mr.. r. L. Campbell. who lives near
Bethel church was the scene yesterday
evening of a social event Of great In
terest to this whole section, the occa-
sion being the marriage Of Miss Hat
tie, Mr.. Campbelrs sister to Mr.. r. o.
Clinton.
The parlors Of the Campbell home
had been beautifully decorated by the
friends of the bride. Evergreens and
flowers were in tasteful evidence
everywhere, and all the surroundings
were singularly appropriate to the
happy occasion.
At the appointed hour the coming
Of the bride and groom was announced
by the music of the wedding march as
rendered by Miss Lille Brison,, and
Mr.. Clinton and Miss Campbell pre-
sented themselves before tastefully
improvised hymenial altar. There
they were met by Rev. w. B. Arro-
wood, pastor of Bethel church, who
in solemn and impressive manner
conducted the ceremony that made the
happy pair husband and wife.
The bride wore white silk, trimmed
with pearls and lace. There was a
cluster of orange blossoms In her hair
and in her hand she carried a bunch
Of carnations and asparagus ferns.
The groom was dressed in a neat black
sack suit.
| After the marriage the bridal party
proceeded to the residence of Mr.. s.
]. Clinton, the father Of the groom.
and participated In a most delightful
reception, lasting from 7.30 to IL and
including a banquet that did full cred
It to the occasion.
Among the Invited guests from a
distance were Mr.. and Mrs. ]. M. Fer
guson, Messrs. ]. w. Miller and e.
NJ. Stanton of Yorkville; Mr.. and Mrs.

FILIPINO OUTBREAK FEARED.
Well Informed Army Officers Looking
For Trouble.

GOSSIP In army circles SneuS a ne"
light on the reasons back Of the ac-
ton Of the administration in sending
additional troops to the Philippines
and on the reports coming from Ma
nila of unusual activity among the
troops already in Manila and In the
islands. 1t Is said that while the ad-
mlnistration may regard with appre-
hension the prospects for trouble in
China, there Is also danger Of trouble
nearer home and that this danger
has fully as much, II not Thore, to do
with the dispatch Of more troops to
the Far East than the Chinese un-
easiness. While no official statement
will disclose it, conditions in the Phil
ippines are not satisfactory and army
men are talking quietly among them
selves that the government Is hurry
ing more forces to Manila for the
purpose of preparing for an outbreak
in the Philippines.
In support of the statement that
the government fears trouble in the
archipelago, 1t is pointed out that
army officers have all along had the
fear that the Spanish experience
with the natives would be repeated
by this government
The desire of the Filipinos for in
dependence is as strong as 1t ever
was and that this desire should take
the form Of an underground organi-
cation to throw off American rule
would not only be natural, but army
men look for It, There Is reason to
believe that the government has
been apprised Of q powerful insur-
rectionary movement and that 1t in
tends to have troops at hand In suf-
ficient numbers to meet any emer-
gencies. At the same time, 1t Is nec-
essary to have arrangements made
to meet trouble in China II 1t comes
as many believe 1t will.
It has not escaped notice here that
the small additional forces would be
inadequate to meet conditions In
China IL there were an uprising of
the proportions expected. On the
other hand this body would go far
in coping with any Philippine insur-
rection.
The Chinese regular army, under
training Of Japanese and American
officers, has become formidable in
stitution. 1t. numbers about $4,000
men and in recent manoeuvres 1t
showed itself an efficient and we'll
drilled force. The prospects are that
IL an uprising took place against for
eigners, the regular troops would
join with the anti-foreign side. 1t
was the experience Of the Boxer
troubles that the regular troops
could not-be. depended upon to help
protect the foreigners. Unless the
regular army Of China has changed
much in disposition, and willing to
turn its guard on our people, march
ing on Pekin will be quite q. different
thing from what 1t was in 1900.
Hence there is a strong belief In
many quarters that II the govern
ment really felt 1t would be necess-
airy to send troops to China 1t would
dispatch a larger force than 1t has
Many believe that the Chinese ver-
sion of the war departments course
has been fostered by officials for the
purpose Of diverting attention from
the Philippines. In any event, a close
watch will be kept for signs Of trou-
BILE in the Philippine possessions.

JUST as was expected there has been
an effort to deceive the investigating
committee with reference to the Far
mum letters. After the letters were
finally turned over to the committee
it developed that some Of them were
missing. The committee had seen
them in the possession Of Mr.. Far
mum: but they were not among the
papers that Mr.. Farnum turned over.
One of the missing letters that men,
bers of the committee remember to
have seen was from N. M. Block, pres
ident of the Richlapd distilling COM
pany to Farnum, advising him to take
$500 worth of stock in the Carolina
Field a paper that is being edited by
James Henry Rice, Jr. The letter
stated that Evans, Tatum, Towill and
Boykin were to take stock, and sug-
gested that Rice being a power In
South Carolina, he could do good
things for the dispensary. Among the
letters known to be missing are 9TH
ers even more interesting. The COM
mittee has asked the supreme court to
rule Farnum for contempt.

what hurts congressman half as much
as their inability to get passes for
their constituents, a form Of patron
age that in some states was very val
liable to congressman. This has all
been done away with and everything
is now on a cash basis. A number of
congressman who are favorable to
making a limit to railroad fares deny,
however, that they are actuated by
any spirit Of revenge, but insist that
this is the time for inaugurating gen.
eral reforms, as we'll as for protecting
the interests Of the shippers.

- Kings Mountain special of jan
uary to Charlotte Observer: Your
correspondent has just learned of a
very sad accident at the Crowders
Mountain mills. Chris Cole was call
ing on Laura Allen, a 16-year-old
girl, who lives with Hestre Porter.
They both had fallen asleep and,
about 8 o'clock in the morning, Lau-
ra's skirts caught on fire, supposedly
from coal that had rolled down up
on the hearth. She was awakened
by the heat from the burning skirts
and Immediately ran out Of the house,
screaming for help. Cole was awak-
ened by her cries and ran to her as
sistance, overtaking her near the
house. He did all he could to tear
the burning clothes from her, but In
her excitement she broke away from
him, and started towards the pond,
about 200 yards distant, but fell about
100 yards from the pond where Cole
overlook her and tore the remaining
clothes off. She was carried back to
the house and everything possible
done to relieve her, but she died
twelve hours later. Cole was very
painfully, but not dangerously burn

IN order that the position Of THE
ENQUIRER may not be misunderstood
we desire to make it clear that our
objection to special terms of the court
apply more particularly to the idea Of
their being presided over by special
judges. There Is no reason why a
regular Judge cannot preside over a
special term as efficiently as over a
regular term; but it is the special
terms presided over by special judges
that never accomplish anything.

Price of Cotton.

After years of stumbling and crop
ing in the dark, there now seems to be
no doubt of the fact that the southern
people have gotten on to the correct
idea-the real key to the control OF
the price Of cotton.
There used to be a very genera
idea that the demand for manufacture
ed goods had some influence on the
price of raw cotton; but as a matter
of fact such a condition has but rare.
ly prevailed in the history of cottor
production.

A MOVEMENT has been started In
Atlanta looking to the importation OF
one hundred German girls as domes-
tics. The idea is to bring the girls
from Chicago, if they can be secured
there, and the understanding Is that
every effort is to be made to see that
they are satisfied. Atlanta is in the
same boat with other southern cities
in that it is finding that the negro help
is no longer reliable. The negroes
have an exaggerated idea Of their i'm
portance, and show no disposition to
try to be of real service to their en-
ployers.
