Wilson; Associate Justice Harlan, Sir
Mortimer Durand the British ambas-
sador; Baron Rosen, the Russian am
bassador, and Cardinal Gibbons. AT
a given signal members of the Grid
iron club, attired as visitors to the
Capitol. strolled into the dining room
under the leadership of one Of the Cap
itol guides. These visitors proclaimed
themselves from Danvil!e, Illinois, the
home town of Uncle Joe, and they
asked a great many questions about
men and things in Washington, which
gave opportunity for numerous hits al
celebrities at the dinner. Secretary
Taft was pointed out as a man who
had only eaten a green bean and a leaf
of lettuce at the dinner, and Vice Pres
ident Fairbanks was alluded to, as
man who was very anxious to return
to public life. Uncle Joe was described
as the representative of 1856 congress
sional districts and five territories
When these visitors from Danville had
completed their inspection OF the
Capitol the Danville parson made an
address to Uncle Joe. In concluding
he presented to Uncle Joe the pair OF
boots which had been purchased by the
Joe Cannon boot fund. The parson said
they had been sent to him for presen-
tation by cousin of his, ]. c. Hemp
hill Of Charleston, South Carolina, VINO
was one of those newspaper chaps
They looked to him like good boots
and he advised Brother Cannon To
"tallow them up and put 'em on and
he hoped that they would make a good
fit. The diners were convulsed at this
conclusion to an act that was full oi
fun and brightness. Unc!e Joe accept
ed the boots, listened to the letter
which accompanied them and made a
witty speech in reply.

SUPT. CARROLL RESIGNS.

Mr.. John f. Carroll. for some six
years passed the efficient superintend-
ent of education for York county, has
sent his resignation to Gov. Hayward,
and stands ready to sever his connec-
ton with the Office as soon as his sue
cessor shall have been appointed.
This news will no doubt create con-
siderable surprise Throughout the
county. and to many 1t will be a dis
appointment. for there is no question Of
the fact that Mr.. Carroll has been a most
capable officer and has done a great
deal for York county's public school
system; but there Is good reason for
It. He was offered the secretary and
treasurership of the Tavora Cotton
mill along with inducements which he
did not feel like, In justice to his grow
ing family. he could afford to decline.
1T was a pretty hard question for
me to decide" said Mr.. Carroll, discuss
ing the matter. II have been connect
ed with the school system for quite
while and have been doing what
could but 1t looks like l was only just
getting where l could really accom-
plsh something. The people have been
very kind to me, and have given me
their assistance in practically every
thing | asked. and l did not feel like
quitting: but the offer of the Tavora
people was of such a nature that l
did not feel warranted In letting 1t go
by, and so | accepted"
Mr.. Carrolrs many friends here think
that the Tavora mill people are to be
congratulated on having secured his
services and they also think that he
did right i'm accepting the Tavora
offer
The vacancy that will be created by
the acceptance of Mr.. Carrolrs resig-
nation will be filled on the recommen-
dation of the state board of education.
II is understood that there are already
a number of candidates for the place.

DOES HIS FULL DUTY.

Editor of the Yorkville Enquirer.
In last Tuesdays issue there was
a statement to the effect II anybody
in the county, subject to road duty,
had put in four full days, the matter
had failed to get on record, and I
want to be allowed to put the record
straight. Mr.. John M. Craig, the
overseer for this section puts in his
four full days every year, and he
makes every man in his section do
the same, or has to know the reason
why. AS a result Mr.. Craig has his
road in good condition-not. In as
good condition as 1t ought to be-; but
in much better condition than before
he gave II four days of honest work.
II we had overseers generally as good
as Mr.. Craig, all the roads in the
county would be much better than
they are. Respectfully,
w. p. BOYD.

contact was not perfect; but 1t was
serious. A bystander says he saw
ball of fire as large as an orange play
ing on Mr. Latimer's back. Mr.. Lati-
mer swayed a moment unable to let
loose and he fell backward a distance
Of some ten feet or more. His head
struck a rock and he became uncon-
scious. 1t was some time after he was
carried to the home of his father, Mr..
w. c. Latimer, just across the street,
that he fully recovered his senses. He
Is still sore from the bruises he re-
ceived in the fall.
There was quite a large and in
terested audience at the spelling
bee" entertainment given at the
court house last Friday night under

off nicely. The entertainment was
gotten up in a large measure and
managed principally by Misses Ma
mie Johnson and Julia Allen, and
they made a success of in in all its
details. There was a class Of some
thirty spoilers arrayed on opposing
sides, Miss Elizabeth Hunter and Mr..
I. w. Johnson doing the picking" Sem
ator Brice gave out the words, and
along with numerous laughable blum
ders the battle was finally narrowed
down to Messrs. Withers Adickes and
F. P. Mccain. Mr.. Mccain won on
the "ennui," pronounced "ong-wee."
The prize was a basket of. flowers.
There was a musical programme un-
der the especial direction of Miss
Allen. and carried out with the as
sstance Of Misses Mamie Johnson
and Pan3y Traywick and DR.. r. A.
Rratton and Mr.. John Rarpwell.
The gross proceeds of the entertain
ment amounted to something more
than thirty dollars.

The Williamson plan for raising
corn, as printed in THE ENQUIRER
was read with a great deal OF In
terest throughout this section and
some of our farmers would like to
experiment, but they are puzzled to
find land poor enough to raise the
small stalks Mr.. Williamson wants
us to begin with.

THE case of Rev. A. j. Mckelway
VS.. the Charlotte Observer company
Mr.. ]. P. Caldwell and Mr. ID. a
Thompkins was taken up in the. su-
perior court of Mecklenburg yesterday
morning and concluded in the after
noon. Mr. McKelway asked for dam
ages in the amount of $4,000 on ac-
count of an alleged libelous publication
in the Observer and the Evening
Chronicle, the Objectionable article
having been written and signed by
Mr.. j. p. Caldwell. The jury returned
a verdict for the plaintiff in the sum
of one penny, and it is understood
that according to the laws OF North
Carolina, governing such cases, each
side must pay its own costs. There
was no testimony in the case. The
court held that the complaint included
two issues, viz: the truth OF the
charges complained OF and the amount
of damages, If any, to which the plain
tiff was entitled. 1t devolved upon the
defendant to prove the truth OF the
charges and upon the plaintiff to prove
the extent of his damages. The extent
of the damages must be proved before
the defendant could be called upon 10
prove his charges. The plaintiff an
nounced that he would offer no testi-
mony on the amount of damages until
after the defendant had submitted
proof as to his charges. The defendant
declined to offer any testimony. and
the plaintiff having allowed his oppor-
tunity to pass was now debarred. The
case went to the jury with the result
already stated.

JUDGE Parker's suggestion that the
next Democratic candidate for the pres
idency should come from the SOUTH
does not meet with very unanimous
endorsement in Washington, although
there Is a feeling up that way that If
the south should be called upon to FUR
nish the candidate, Senator Joseph W.
Bailey is the man. 1t is pretty gener-
ally conceded that Judge Parker Is not
so much the leader of the Democratic
party right now as is Mr.. William j.
Bryan, and many believe that II the
Democrats should hold a nomination
convention next week. Mr.. Bryan would
be put in the lead. Senator Tillman
is quoted as saying that Judge Parkers
speech is not to be regarded as of es-
pecial significance.

EX-JUDGE Alton B. Parker has made
a public statement to the erect that
he has no confidence in the sincerity
of President Roosevelt's famous elec-
ton night declaration, to the effect
that he would not be a candidate for
reelection after the completion Of his
present term. The judges idea is that
Mr.. Roosevelt made that declaration
for the especial purpose Of making
more easy the capture of another nom
ination. Without such a declaration,
most of his official acts would be in
terpreted only as looking to the fur
therance of his own power and intiu-
ence. for his own advantage; but with
such declaration on record, there
would be less disposition on the part
of the general public to attribute selfish
motives. 1t is very bold charge that
Judge Parker has made-a very dam
gerous one in fact, for the reason that
it cannot be proved, and right thinking
people do not like to believe a man,
who occupies such a high position,
could be guilty of such duplicity. 1t Is
discreditable not only to the man, but
to the position he holds, and to the peo-
pie he represents. One is reluctant TO
endorse such charge for fear of grave
injustice. But still it must not be for
gotten that Judge Parker's character
and record are at least as good as
those of Mr. Roosevelt, and 1t Is also
just as we'll to remember that the SEN
sational charge which the judge made
before the last election to the effect
that various big financial corporations
including the insurance companies,
were pouring out golden stream In
the interest of RoOsevelt's election,
which charge was at the time denied
by Mr.. Roosevelt, has afterward proved
to be true. or course. there is no guar
antee that Mr.. Roosevelt will seek an
other nomination. He may or may not
do so. or If he Is seeking 1t, 1t may new
cr become known. But even that could
not be taken as "a complete refutation
of Judge Parkers charge. because if
Mr.. Roosevelt Is capable Of resorting
to deception of the kind referred to, he
will be- too sick To take chances. If
ne sees that ne can't win he will claim
that he had said from the first that
ne never wanted II. But whether Judge
Parker be right or wrong. there are
a great many people all over the coun-
try who have privat" opinion to the
effect that whether he is as frank. open
and honest as he processes To be or
not, Mr.. Roosevelt Is Il very smooth
citizen
