Two stray mules of the army type have
been the cause Of much official correspond
ence OF late, involving the comptroller OF
the treasury, the judge advocate geenral of
the army and the postoffice officials, to say
nothing of the army teamster, who lost the
mules during a practice march Of light
battery near Fort WORTH Tex. The mules
disappeared one night and subsequently re-
turned, but in the meantime the teamster
had sought assistance Of the postmaster of
Fort Worth, who put an advertisement in
the local newspapers at a cost Of about s..
Payment of such service is now sought.
OF course, the postmaster runs up against
the law, which forbids advertising in
newspaper by an executive officer OF the
government except under certain rules,
which were complacently ignored in this
particular case, The bill cannot be paid out
of the reward which is authorized in such
instances, on account of the failure to act
in accordance with regulations, while the
contingent fund Of the army cannot be
otherwise drawn upon FOR this purpose
Evidently the postmaster at Fort Worth
has. to square himself as best he may with
the local newspapers.

The commissary general and the surgeon
general of the army have developed a plan
of replacing the ration issued to enlisted
men in hospitals and the nurse corps on
duty in hospitals with a Communication. The
change is regarded by Secretary Taft as in
the public interest and is strongly urged
by the department. The change will re-
qure special provision Of law. which it
is hoped to have incorporated in the army
bill in the senate in the following Ian
guage:
For payment Of Communication of rations
in lieu of the regular established ration for
members of the nurse corps (female) while
on duty in hospitals and for enlisted men
sick therein at the rate of 80 cents per
ration Except that at the general hospital
at Fort Baysrd, N M, 80 cents per ration
is authorized for enlisted patients in said
hospitaD to be paid by the surgeon in
charge"

The army signal corps is deeply en-
crossed with the development of a pintle
type Of wire wagon and reel cart. 1t has
been decided to equip these vehicles, in
tended for use by signal companies in the
field. with automatic appliances for dis
tributing and recovering field telegraph
and telephone wires, There has been
some question whether it was advisable to
complicate the mechanism of these wagons
and it is generally agreed that the prin-
ciple of simplicity in construction and
equipment will contribute most to the Ell
cheney of the wagons in time OF war; but,
of course, there are plenty of occasions
when the automatic appliance will have
its practical uses and this is especially so
during the coming mobilization of infantry
cavalry and field artillery troops at seven
camps of concentration.

ton. The old representatives having
voted against the 10-hour bill, had
nothing on which to appeal to the
mill voters and made but little IL any
effort In that direction. The mill
vote came out much more solidly in
the second election than In the first
and voted almost to a man for the dis
pensary delegation.
or course, the dispensnry delegates
will feel that they are bound to vote
for the continuance of the state ma
chine. There Is no reasonable doubt
Of the fact that they are so bound, and
no, one would think Of expecting them
to do otherwise but still 1t Is very
doubtful as to whether In so doing
they will represent the majority senti-
ment Of York county. Except for the
vote that was cast for them on the
10-hour issue they would not have
been nominated.
But looking at politics purely as
a game, and that is the way the prac-
tical politicians treat the matter, there
dispensary leaders played their side Of
the game best, at least as to the con-
test for representation In the house.
However, It Is a fact that there was
nobody playing much on the other side.
The anti -dispensary vote was in the
main the unhampered expression OF
those who have come to the conclu-
sion that the best interest of the state
demands the abolition Of the state dis
pensary, and such vote as this Is
not to be manipulated by dispensary
or other politicians.
However. II all may have been, there
is no special reason for regret. Not
one of the defeated candidates wanted
to go back. That Is none Of them
had any personal desire to go. DR..
Saye did not want to go. Neither did
Mr.. Beamguard, Mr.. Ardrey or DR..
Massey. They would have preferred
to have won, of course; but 1t was for
political rather than personal reasons.
And the new men are all good repre-
sentative citizens-men of character
and ability and there is no reason to
fear that York county will not be rep
resented as thoroughly, as efficiently
and as creditably as heretofore.
The election Of Mr.. Ansel and Mr..
Lyon indicates the attitude Of the
county to the state dispensary.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1906-09-14

THE result of last Tuesdays elec-
ton in South Carolina Is too important
to be considered lightly. While 1t is
a fact that thousands and thousands
of people neglected their plain duty
and remained away from the polls,
still most of the farmers measured up
to the responsibility of the occasion
and voted in accordance with the die
tates of their judgment and conscience
There is no doubt about the fact that
Senator Tillman stood for Messrs
Manning and Ragsdale as against
Messrs. Ansel and Lyon. That has
been too plain all along to be disputed
But still the election of Messrs. Ansel
and Lyon is not to be taken only as
rebuke to Senator Tillman. Senator
Til1man has been defeated, 1t Is true;
but to claim that defeat as rebuke
would be to take a very narrow view
of the real situation. Thousands OF
admirers of Senator Tillman voted for
Ansel and they did 1t because they
dare not take any more chances with
the state dispensary machine. These
same voters will continue to give the
senator their support in his efforts to
advance their interests in the United
States senate.

SORE MOUTH.

DR. Louis Klein, the state veterfna-
rian, has sent out the following from
Glen son college with regard to sore
mouth and tender feet in cattle. 1t is
published for the benefit Of people who
may be interested:
Within the last month the state
veterinarian has received q number OF
letters concerning cattle affected with
sore. mouth and, in many cases, sore
or tender feet AS the disease seems
to be generally prevalent, no doubt as
result of the long continued wet
weather, the following information
concerning 1t is supplied for publica-
ticn: ~
The disease is known in medicine as
mycotic stomatitis. 1t is not conta-
gio,s or infectious but Is caused by
fungi or moulds which grow upon for
age or grass. These fungi. which grow
luxllrlantly In wet seasons, have a
very irritant effect upon the lining
membrane Of the mouth, the MEM
brane covering the tongue and upon
the soft skin between the claws.
Affected animals eat and drink with
great difficulty or not at all, the saliva
forms froth around the hps or dribbles
from the mouth, the membrane lining
the mouth Is red and hot and contains
ulcers, the membrane covering the
tongue is affected in the same way,
and a very offensive odor is usually
present. Sometimes the skin between
the claws and Just above the hoof ts
affected and then the animal walks
stiff and sore. The trouble Is usually
confined to the anterior limbs but all
four legs may be attacked. In milk
COWS ulcers may also appear on the
udder and teats.
Herds of cattle In which animals
have been attacked with this disease
should be removed from the pasture In
which they have been running. The
affected animals should be fed on SOFT
food, such as bran mashes, meal and
gruels. They should have free access
at all times to clean, cool water and
two heaping tablespoonfuls OF borax
should be dissolved In each OF the
first two buckets Of water given each
day The mouth should be washed
out daily with solution Of creolin--
one tablespoonful of creolin to each
quart of water-and following this q
half Tablespoonful Of alum or borax
should be placed on the tongue. Dis
eased areas on the feet should be
washed daily with the creolin solu-
ton and afterward covered with zinc
ointment. II this treatment Is proper
ly applied and the animals are care
fully fed the disease will rapidly dis
appear.

published account puts the matter
about like this. Mr.. Carroll was at
the railway station in charge Of a gang
of negro hands, waiting to take a
train. The negroes began singing and
making a big racket generally. A po-
liceman asked Mr.. Carroll to quiet
them. He spoke to them, suggesting
a possible arrest and they became
quiet. A negro porter In the employ
of the express company told the ne
groes to make as much fuss as they
wanted to; that the. police had moth
ing to do with them. This was in the
presence of Mr.. Carroll. Mr.. Carroll
told the negro to attend to his own
business, and threatened to have him
arrested. Then he turned away.
Presently the negro stepped up behind
Mr.. Carroll and hit him in the back
Of the head with a dubbed Winchester
rife. Mr.. Carroll was knocked sense
less and knew nothing until the next

j, FRASER LYON.
Something About the Man Who Made
Such Splendid Fight Against Graft.

]. Fraser Lyon, who has received
the nomination as the candidate of the
Democratic party for the office Of at
torney general, will be thirty-five years
of age in October, and Is one OF the
youngest men whom the people OF the
state thus have honored. He Is ma
tive of Abbeville county, having been
born at Verdery, in what Is now
Greenwood county. He comes OF hon
orabie parentage, his father, Mr.. j.
Fuller Lyon, being a descendant or the
most prominent families Of Culpepper
and Albemarle counties in Virginia
the Ambrose, Powell and Hill families
being closely related as was Gen. Am
brose p. Hill, General Lees chevalier.
The mother of Fraser Lyon was Miss
Peltier of Chapel Hill, N. c., daughter
of Anthony Peltier, captain In the
French navy under Napoleon Bona
parte and a kinsman of the scientist
who introduced the use of quinine.
Fraser Lyon was prepared for college
by Dr. D. B. Johnson, now president
of Winthrop college, by Prof. j. w.
Thomson of Winthrop, and by other
careful teachers. He graduated from
WoffOrd college in 1895 and the loyalty
supported him in his fight this summer
shows that even in college he made a
marked impression.
He studied law in the office OF De-
Bruhl & Lyon and in 1898 was admit
ted to the bar. His father, Judge j..
Fuller Lyon, is the member Of the firm
above referred to.
He was referee in bankruptcy In Alb
beville and Greenville counties for
three years before his election to the
le., ,isIature For several years he serv-
ed as clerk of the finance committee
Of the senate and thus acquainted
himself intimately with public affairs.
His service in the Legislature Is best
known because of the fact that he was
a member of the committee which in
vestigated the affairs of the state dis
pensary and showed that institution
to he the prey of grafters. But there
were other services in the legislature
for which Mr.. Lyon is not known so
well. He was q member Of the ways
and means committee and showed him
self to be a man of more than usual
discretion.
Mr.. Lyon Is said to have one OF the
finest law libraries in the upper part
of the state. He is a steward in the
Methodist church and has been rep
resentative to the Pythian grand lodge.

day. He has since written to his pa
rents here, Mr.. and Mrs. T. l.. Carroll,
that he is now all right. He says he
did not know what hit him and his

sciousness was that he had been run

Capt. J. r. Lindsay returned We'd
nestlay from Seagirt, N. j., where he
had been for two weeks attending the
national military rifle shoot. This is
an annual affair under the auspices OF
the United States government and the
biggest thing in the way Of target
practice, probably that takes place
anywhere in the world. The shoot
this year was the most successful that
has ever been held. There were teams
representing the infantry and cavalry
| of the regular army, the navy and the
national guard Of thirty-nine states,
| and among them were the finest rifle
shots in the country. The shooting Is
done at ranges from 200 up to 1000
yards under varying conditions, repre-
senting scientific development or a hign
order. It is necessary for the shooters
to take account of wind, thermal and
barometric conditions, for which they
call into use thermometers, barometers
and wind cages. Along with these. of
course they also use powerful field
glasses. The rifles also have to be
tested and proved to absolute ac-
curacy, as the slightest defect In the
rifing, defect that would not be ap-
preciable at one hundred yards, would
at 1000 yards defect q bullet far out
| of its course. The highest awards
were carried Off by an infantry team
of the regular army. This team Is
composed of the very best marksmen
| in the whole army, men who are kept
| In the most careful training all the
WHILE and up to the highest standard
of efficiency The South Carolina team
ranked thirty In the list; but Captain
Lindsay assures us that however, this
may sound, 1t Is not bad. IL the cap
tain can find time later on he will give
the readers of The Enquirer a detailed
account of the whole occasion.
