all Is listed for taxation at some price,
there are hundreds of others, both large
and small who have listed only a
part of what they have. Some Of
these have been uncovered and raised
a little, and some have been assessed
on a basis beyond their just proper
ton; but still others have escaped
anything like a fair assessment and
so ii goes.
The common inclination Is not to
agitate this matter. This Is especially
true of those who know they are
not paying their share of the taxes.
They claim the more a thing like this
is stirred up the worst 1t smells.
This is true only to a certain extent.
A little stirring has served to give
the people some appreciation of what
equality actually means, and a
thorough stirring might be the means
of bringing more people to help bear
their just proportion of the burdens
of the government.

Correspondence OF the Yorkville Enquirer.
Rock HILL, April 1.-THE jubilee
in celebration Of the fiftieth anniver-
sary Of the founding of Methodism in
Rock Hill, was begun at st. Johns
church, Thursday evening. The pas
tor, the Rev. Watson B. Duncan OPEN
ing with splendid historical sketch
of "Methodism in Rock Hill" He was
followed by the Rev. DR.. ]. w. Dan
iels who spoke on Methodist Doctrines
and Polity" Both of these addresses
were highly interesting, and were lis
tened to intently by large audience.
A select choir rendered fine music for
the occasion.
| The City Drug Store, which for two
years past, has been conducted by DR..
]. D. Austin has changed hands, Mr.. j.
Lloyd Phillips, having bought out the
concern. l.
The mortal remains of Mary Stevens

ton.
Tom Johnson. the thirteea-year-
old son of. Mr.. S. l.. Johnson, Of the
Highland Park mill village, was drown
ed, Wednesday afternoon, in small
pond near Capt. Iredell Jones' residence.
1t seems that the boy with others about
his age were out strolling, when he de-
cided to go into the water. The others
did not go in and when the boy got into
trouble, they were too small or too
much frightened to assist him. They
ran in search Of help, but were slow
in finding 1t, so 1t was about an hour
before the body was gotten out OF the
water. He could not swim and either
got beyond his depth or was taken with
cramp.
A negro man, named Will Mitchell,
died Wednesday night at his home In
Oakland, under circumstances which
required the calling Of the coroner, and
he will hold an inquest today. Mitchell
and his wife retired at the usual hour,
after having eaten a hearty supper.
Some time in the night the wife heard
her husband making some kind Of a
queer noise and when she got a light
and examined him, he was dead. There
were all sorts of rumors on the street
among the negroes this morning, but
so far as any evidence goes, the man
died from natural causes.

Mr.. R. E. Montgomery has COM

The paving of Congress street be-

LOCAL LAcoNIcs.

Pursuant to advertised notice, Mr..
j. C. Wilborn on yesterday sold the
Jones's mill place. "a miles south of
Yorkville, at public auction. He had
also advertised a lot OF second hand
ginning and saw mill machinery, and
agricultural implements, and there
was quite a crowd Of bidders on the
ground. The land, about thirty acres
was bought by Mr.. M. c. Willis for
$1,105, little less than $3S an acre.

Wilborn.
York's Rural Routes.
Mr.. Washington Wilkinson, an in
spector of the rural route service has
been putting in this week going over
various routes in this county, and will
probably be in this section for some
weeks. His business so far as is known,
is to note the patronage of the various
routes, the condition Of the roads, etc.
Most Of the York county routes can
easily pass the reputed dead line Of
1000 pieces Of mail month, and have
a good deal left over. There are some
few routes, however, which will give
the 2 900 limit a close shave. Not only
the mail men but the people generally
are very much interested in the situa-
ton. .....

but a few years until the cotton re-
gion will have spread to that part Of
the state and Texas will have more
than doubled her present yield of
cotton. Although Scurry county Is
remotely situated from railroad
transportation facilities, the land val
ues there have more than doubled
within the past year. Only a few
years ago lands there were selling for
81 and 81 per acre. These same
lands are now selling for SIS and $50
per acre, and in a few years more
they will be worth $40 and $50 per
acre"

Tue Suhiact of another Hague con-

THE subject Of another Hague con-
ference is now under consideration
among the powers. Russia is the prime
mover again, and she wants to hold
the conference right away; but several
of the mother powers, notably Great
Britain and the United States. are said
to be somewhat reluctant to go into
the matter untii they are advised as to
just what particular questions are to
be submitted. 1t is quite probable that
the conference. If it is held at all, will
not meet before next fall.

REFERRING to Senator Daniels COM
plaint that the south does not get the
recognition to which she is entitled, the
senator should be reminded that the
remedy lies in either one Of two things
the south must either defeat the Re-
publican party or join it. There Is
very little Federal recognition to be
had outside of the Republican party,
and this must necessarily remain true
so long as the Republican party con-
tinues in power.

THIRTY thousand dollars will be a
mere bagatelle, compared with what
congress has spent on some of the Rev
skirmishes of minor import
ance that occurred in the north; but
still the people of this section will be
glad indeed to see recognition, even to
this extent of the battle which saved
the cause OF American liberty-King's
Mountain.

MERE.MENTION.

In a speech on the railroad rate
question the other day, Senator Nor
gan took the position that the only
way to regulate rates was by means
of competition and that the compe-
tition could best be had by develop
ment of the various waterways Of the
country. Col. Thomas Johnson,
one of the few surviving members Of
the Confederate congress, died at his
home i'm Montgomery county, Ken
lucky, last Sunday, aged ninety-siX
years. 49,. There has been more than
1900 cases of typhoid fever in Pitts
burg, Pa, since January r.. The
anti-Hearst Democrats of New York
are turning to VIM. j. Bryan as the
next nominee of the Democratic par
ty for the presidency. 49,. Several
Democratic senators have been to the
White House to confer with the pres
ident on the rate question and Sem
ator Bailey is disposed to criticise
them severely, holding that if the
president has any communications
for the senate he should send them
i'm the regular way. y..... Speaker
Cannon has written a letter in which
he frankly cOnfesseS that he does not
want to undertake tariff revision; but
at the same time expressing the opin-
ion that tariff revision Will soon have
To come and that the Republican
party will have to do it, If it stays In
power. -. The Mississippi river has

THEY'LL MAKE UP.
Washington Opinion That Roosevelt
Will Eventually Capture Tillman.

Recent indications, says a Washing
| ton dispatch, point strongly to the
probability that the closing days OF
| the protracted railway rate fight In the
upper house Of congress may be mark
ed by a reconciliation between Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Senator Ben Till
man.
While the South Carolinian still
stoutly declares that he sees no rea-
son why he need confer with the pres
ident or anyone else outside Of con-
gress on how he should manage the
administration rate measure, those who
have watched the situation closely be-
| lieve they see a change that augurS
well for the Hepburn BILL
There appears to be q lessening OF
the line about the South Carolinian's
mouth as he Is called upon to make
his daily disapproval. He is less harsh
in his criticism of the chief executive.
1t partakes no longer of a personal
bitterness.
But Mr. Tillman is known to feel
deeply the slight put upon him by the
president q few years ago, when a
White House dinner invitation to meet
Prince Henry Of Germany was recalled
because Tillman struck his colleague
upon the senate floor The South Car
oliIian has advanced so far In his
treatment of the presidents name as
not to declare that he will never visit
the White House, as was his wont
months ago.
1t Is known that the president would
welcome a call from Tillman. He has
forgiven the year of open warfare that
has been carried on against him on the
race question, and while he can, Of
course, never forget the abuse that ac-
companied 1t, mutual friends say he Is
willing to bury the hatchet.
1t Is positively said that but one
thing now stands in the way. This Is
an apology from the president to Till
man for the withdrawal Of the dinner
invitation because the senator had
struck a despised colleague who had
openly branded him on the senate floor
as liar.
LOOKING For THE MAIN CHANCE
The clique of big senators who will
know what the final vote on the rate
bill will be are to have "a good thing"
In the stock market.
That was the fact when the sugar
schedule was being played with. No
one knew what was going to happen,
yet some senators are credited with
having made fortunes on orders sent
carly I'm the day from this city.
Curious stories are afioat in the sem
ate concerning a big scheme to make
millions out of the final vote and 1t
can be done in a very effective way by
enough Republicans standing together
at a garrison finish.
One very important senator Is now
said to be busy, not only for himself,
but for a coterie in the attempt to
have forty-five senators ready for the
emergency of the last aye and nay
vote.

 Once when she had occasion to re- bukc women for talking too much and to commend to them silence and con centration, she told them an anecdote of a gossiping, perpetually jabbering old woman who passed on the road a man with a dog. The dogs tongue was hanging out slightly, and ehe old woman who could never keep her mouth shut said to the man.
 That dog is not safe. It's tongue hanging out Is sure sign of rabies. "
 The man, who knew the meddlesome old dame well, answered.:
 Its only sign that the dogs tongue Is too big for his mouth-same as some folk's"

 Little girls should be treated just like littles boys. They should put on overalls and climb and romp just like the boys That is what will make them healthy. It is the old idea that girls must always stay in the house and be little ladies which has resulted in the present race of weak mothers and the coming race of weak children
