The government ginners' report,
which was issued Wednesday afternoon
at 2 o'clock, showed that S,531,00O
bales of cotton ha been ginned up
to the 14th instant, the date OF the.
taking of the census. The report is
sued on the same date last year show
ed that but 7,497,O0O bales had been
ginned. Two years ago, the report
showed that 9,7S6,000 bales had been
ginned. Wednesdays report was about
what the local cotton men expected.
Evidently the same feeling prevailed
in all circles for the speculative mark

The report Of the grand jury as to
affairs Of the county especially matters
supposed to be exclusively within the
Jurisdiction of the county supervisor
gives the impression Of very consider
able personal feeling against that Of
ficial Inquiry among members of the
grand jury, however, has brought de-
clarations to the effect that there Is
nothing personal in the report. The
members to whom the reporter talked
say that the conditions complained Of
have existed for years under all the
different individuals who have held the
office under the present county gov
ernment law and their criticisms and
recommendations are made in the hope
Of bringing about change. >,
The discontinuance of trains Nos. Z
and 8 on the c. & NV. railroad, has
had a demoralizing effect on the deliv-
cry of The Enquirer on the rural routes
going out from the various postoffices
in the county north of Yorkville. AS
matters now stand, The Enquirer does
not get to Filbert, Glover and Bowling
Green until after the carriers have left.
AS the result Tuesdays Enquirer Is
not delivered until Thursday and Fri
days is not delivered until the follow
ing Monday. The situation Is very ar
noying to our subscribers and no less
so to us. There are some pretty Sc
rious difficulties in the way, but we are
hopeful Of making an arrangement
whereby the paper can leave Yorkville
on Tuesday and Friday afternoons on
No. 60 which passes this place at 3
O'Clock, and If this arrangement can
be made the delivery Of the paper will
continue the same as before the taking
off of Nos. and 8. O.

In erecting such a handsome statue
to General Wade Hampton, South Car
olina has honored herself even more
than she has honored the noble old
patriot, soldier and statesman in whose
memory the statue was erected. AS
a matter of fact, Wade Hampton did
not need a statue or monument Of any
kind. His life and character are very
well calculated to perpetuate his MEM
ory as long as great and noble deeds
are held in value in South Carolina
There are no doubt those who hold a
different opinion and time alone can
tell which is right; but 1t is our opinion
that the verdict Of future generations
will be that Hampton was the greatest
citizen the state has produced up to
this time.

PRESIDENT IN PORTO RICO.
BattIeship Louisiana Arrived at Ponce
on Wednesday.


on Wednesday.
President Roosevelt arrived at Ponce,
Porto Rico on Wednesday morning
from Colon on board the battleship
Louisiana. He was visited on board
the vessel by Governor Winthrop, who
extended a welcome to the island. The
president at once went ashore and was
greeted at the pier by Mayor Open
heimer Of Ponce, and delegation of
prominent officials and citizens. The
town, which was profusely decorated
in the presidents honor, was crowded
with people from the surrounding
country eager to greet Mr.. Roosevelt.
AS the president stepped ashore the
crowd cheered him, crying:
viva El Presidente." When the
greetings were over the president, &C
companied by Governor Winthrop, was
driven to the city hall, Mrs. Winthrop
and Mrs. Roosevelt following. The
president was kept busy acknowledg-
ing cheers all along the two-mile drive
from the landing place to the princi-
pal plaza of the town. At the entrance
of the plaza a huge arch had been
erected, from which little girls threw
flowers to both the president and Mrs
Roosevelt.
At the city hall an address of well
come was read to the president. He
delivered his reply from the balcony
of the building, addressing the largest
crowd that had ever assembled in
Ponce.
The president said in part:
81 shall continue to use every effort
to secure citizens for Porto Rico.
am confident this will come along In
the end, and all that 1 can personally
do to hasten that day 1 will do. My
efforts will be unceasing to help you
ment, which must have for it's basis a
union of order, liberty, justice and
honor"
In conclusion the president said:
Il salute you from my heart as fell
low citizens"
The reference to citizenship brought
out enthusiastic applause from the
people. Before leaving Ponce the
president was driven to the Roosevelt
high school, Here several hundred
school children had been assembled
and sang America" as the president
drove up. The corners stone Of this
school was laid in April, 1903, by the
presidents daughter, now Mrs. Long
worth.
The presidential party left Ponce
at half-past ten for the run to San
Juan over the famous military road
Eleven automobiles conveyed the par
ty, which arrived at San Juan Wed
nesday night The party, returned to
Ponce yesterday morning and re-em-
barked during the day. 1t Is expected
that the president will get back to
Washington next Monday or Tuesday

He says he is willing to listen to new

THREATS AGAINST TILLMAN.-There
is a big row in Chicago over a pro-
posed lecture by Senator Tillman on
the Race Problem" The lecture
was to have been delivered next
Tuesday in the Orchestra Hall.for the
benefit of the Chicago Union hospit-
al. The negroes of the city raised the
row. They appealed to Mayor Dunno
and there were threats that if the
senator should attempt to deliver the
lecture he would be killed. Mayor
Dunno seems to have sided with the
negroes, and is quoted as having
made statement to the effect that
a man who cOndOnes lynching under
any circumstates cannot have very
high regard for law" A dispatch of
yesterday says that the senator will
be requested to leave the race ques-
ton alone. His subject has been
changed to "Shall the United States
Annex Cuba?" The dispatch also
says that the senator will be guarded
by the police while in Chicago.

more. Last August. a member of his

his arrest on the charge of obtaining

says complaints have reached the de-

them from New York clergymen,
against the practice of slaughtering
cattle on Sundays, which necessitates
the presence Of the inspectors at those
places. The meat inspection law con-

the enlisted men of three companies of
the Twenty fifth infantry issued by the
president, application was presented to
the secretary Of war by number of
persons of standing asking a rehear-

which the action was taken. The Sec
retary telegraphed the president Of the
application and delayed the proceed
ing of the discharge until the presi-
dent could indicate his wishes. The
secretary was meantime called out of
town. No answer was received from
the president. The secretary, on his
return, did not feel justified in fur

the fact that the secretary then learn

haustively considered the argument
against the order. of the persons who
now applied for a rehearing. Accord

that the proceedings for discharging
be continued without delay" Along

Hints ON Handling the Mother Hog
and Her New Family.


and Her New Family.
In very cold weather it may be nee
essary for few days to remove the
pigs to a warm place after they have
sucked to prevent chilling. AS new
born pigs sucSle as often as every two
hours during the day, this entails con
siderable Inconvenience but it Is time
well spent and may mean the differ
ence between profit and loss to the
breeder. The pigs are soon able to
fight their battles with the cold unaid-
ed by any but their own warmth and
that Of the dam.
For the first twentyfour hours the
SOW should, as a rule, have no feed and
will need none If, however, she shows
signs OF hunger thin slop of bran and
shorts or a thin oatmeal cruel may be
given. Tepid water should be given to
drink as the SOW wants 1t. Never give
cold water. The feeding for the first
three or four days should be light and
carefully given, and the time consumed
In getting the SOW on full feed should
be from a week to ten days, depending
on the size and thrift of the litter. The
first feed should be very light and In
the form of the thin, warm slop al
ready mentioned, working gradually to
full feed.
No time should be lost after farrow-
Ing In getting the SOW into the open
air. OF course when pigs are farrowed
during the cold months care will be
needed, and 1t may be necessary to let
the pigs reach the age Of two weeks
before turning them out, They can,
however, get considerable exercise in
the plggery or in the lot with the SOW,
aud there Is often lot adjoining a
barn that is sunny and sheltered from
cold winds where the new family may
be turned for exercise. Avoid particu-
larry allowing the pigs to run out dur
ing a cold rain. They are especially
tender during the first weeks,-G, NJ.
