NEWHALL PRODUCES
FRANCHISES.
Union Street Line Has
Until Dec. II, 1913,
to Operate Its Cars
WANTS A TROLLEY

We will begin the work on the re-
construction of the Union street road
as an electric system within ten days
after the necessary permit is granted
by the Board of Supervisors and have
the road in operation in three months
The foregoing statement was made
yesterday to the Supervisors judiciary
committee by George A. Newhall, presi-
dent of the road. Newhall had been
cited to appear and produce copy of
! the two franchises granted to the in
corporators of the road and he did So
The first franchise which covered that
part of the road terminating at Baker
street. expired on December so, 1904,
but the franchise granted for the re-
naming portion of the road to the
Preside reservation has until Decem-
ber II. 1913, to run. However, the or
dinance passed December II. 1888
granting the second franchise con-
tanned a proviso which extended the
life of the first franchise to an even
date with the second.
The officials of the road have. there
fore, contended that the franchise Of
the entire road has more than seven
years yet to run, in accordance with
the specific terms of the second or
dinance. The judiciary committee, Of
which Supervisor Coleman is chairman,
desired to satisfy itself of the claim
/ De1OIe granting a permit IoT eleCtflly-
ing the road. After reading the or
dinance it was decided that the claim
is we'll founded.
In reply to questions by the COM
mittee. Newhall denied that there is
any intention on the part of the diree-
tors TO sell the road to the United
Railroads, though he said they had no
control over the sale OF the stock
After stating that the road could be
operated in three months. Newhall said
the cars would be run on headway of
three and half minutes or oftener
il The traffic demanded. The old system
of transfers will prevail and negotia-
tions are pending to secure transfer
privileges on the Kearny, Polk and
Fillmore street lines. Newhall said the
company would agree to transfer priv
ileges between a cross-town connection
of the proposed municipal Geary- street
road, if it is ever built.
The committee finally took the grant.
ing of the permit to electrify the road
under advisement, but in all likelihood
it will report in favor thereof at next

The 100000 or 100000 worth of sus-
picious claims that the whisky dealers
have against the state and payment OF
which was held up by the general as
sembly at the instance of Messrs. Lyon
and Christensen, are to be settled at
the discretion of the state liquor COM
missioner. This Is. in accordance with
the action of the full committee. AT
meeting in Columbia last week, Chair
man Hay offered a resolution proVld-
ing for the disposition indicated. All
of the members present with the ex-
ception of Mr.. Lyon voted yes. These
members were MesSrs. Hay, CASTOR,
Fraser and Blease. 1t was decided
that the matter should be left open
until all had an opportunity of voting.
One more aye vote was all that was
necessary and that was cast by Mr.
Spivy. Mr.. Christensen voted with Mr.
Lyon. The Columbia correspondent OF
the News and Courier sent his paper
the following under date of July 3;
Mr.. D. A. Spivey of the committee
will cast his vote in favor of the reso-
luton and that will settle the matter
so far as reference. Mr.. SpiVey eX-
poets Commissioner Tatum to scruti-
nize the accounts carefully and Mr.. Spl-
yey is counting on that scrutiny TO a
large extent. Mr.. Spivey insists that
If the state was humbugged and paid
double prices for its liquor, then II has
itself to blame for having placed that
kind of business men in charge OF a
business involving millions. He thinks
that if the state made a bad bargain
that it ought to stick to it, just as any
private individual who might nave
made a bad bargain. There is little
excuse for such bad bargains to nave
been made, but, having been made, the
state, he thinks, ought to settle ana 90
the best it can and not get into the
same sort Of mess again.
Along with his vote Mr.. Christensen
sent the following signed statement:
am convinced that there has been
fraud in the making and filling OF some
of the contracts covered by these ac-
counts, and that this can be determin-
ed by a thorough auditing of the books
of the concerns involved. Our commit
tee has not the funds or the power to
secure such an auditing. 1t does not
appear to me proper to attempt to un-
load the responsibility of such an in
vestigation upon. nor that we have au-
thoritv to require it of, the dispensary
commissioner and the state board of
directors; nor does it seem to me prop
er to ask the dispensary management.

mitted by Mr.. Lyon and myself. advis-
ing that the legislature be Informed

tunity to act On the above resolu-
ton offered by Senator Hay, l vote

Mr.. ]. w. P. Hope died at his home
on South Congress street Yorkville last
Wednesday night at II o'clock and
was buried in the Yorkville cemetery
yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Hope was ore of the oldest and
best known citizens Of Yorkvi!le. He
was born near Sharon in 1888, and
moved to Yorkville in 1867 for the pur-
pose of engaging in the mercantile. bus
mess. His capital was quite limited;
hut he gave his work most careful at
tention established a reputation for
considerate and honest dealing and de-
veloped operations Of considerable
magnitude. His firm, however, finally
failed as the resul: of an unfortunate
cotton speculation about fifteen years
ago, and although he lost practically
all he had at that time he continued
the hard fight as best he could, and re-
tanned the confidence. esteem and res
pect of the business world to the end of
his career.
Mr.. Hope was straight forward In
business, kind and considerate in his
relations with his fellowman and his
reputation for integrity and upright
ness was unquestionable. He leaves

and two daughters as follows: Mr.
John M. Hope DR.. w. D. Hope, Mr. E.

THE CATTLE TICK.


The following statement with refer
ence to the cattle tick Is published at
the request of the South Carolina Live
Stock association:
THE common cattle tick Is a famil-
lar sight to all our people, but very
few outside of those engaged in the
cattle business realize the import
ant part it plays in hinderiIg the de-
velopment of the cattle industry in the
state. The cattle tick carries the
germ" that causes Texas fever, dis
ease very fatal to grown cattle. cat
tie that are raised on land infested
with ticks are inoculated with the germ
by becoming infested with ticks imme-
diately after birth. At this age they
suffer a very mild attack of the disease
with no visible external symptoms and
after they have passed through 1t they
are then proof against the Infection
and can be exposed to ticks later In
life without harm. But IL cattle are
raised on land where there are no ticks
and are afterwards moved to tick
infested lands, they will become infect
ed with the disease. They will also
suffer from the disease IL they remain
on the land on which they were raised
and tick-infested cattle are introduced
among them.
Because Of these facts the federal
government has established quaran-
tine line across the country dividing
the regions infested with ticks from
those in which there are no ticks. NO
cattle can be moved from the tick
infested regions across this quarantine
line except when they are being ship
ped for butchering to a slaughter-house
which has direct railroad connection.
South Carolina is placed below TINS
quarantine line among the tick-infested
regions. Hence, cattle cannot be snip
ped from this state to points above the
quarantine line except for immediate
slaughter Cattle for dairy purposes,
or for feeding or breeding are barred.
Thus. the market for the cattle produc-
ed in the state Is considerably re-
stricted.
Some of the states included within
the tick infested area, notably virginia,
North Carolina, Texas and Oklahoma,
which had within their boundaries an
area in which ticks existed only a rev
farms or ranches. have succeeded In
having such areas placed above the
quarantine line, thus opening new
markets for the cattle raised therein.
This was accomplished by the passage
Of a law by the legislature establishing
a. state quarantine dividing the slight
ly infested area from the other part or
the state and the eradication Of the
ticks from the infested places In the
slightly infested area. When these con-
ditions were brought about the state
quarantine line was then adopted by
the federal government and made
part of the national quarantine line.
This plan is just as feasible in South
Carolina as in any of the states men
toned. In a great part Of the state
since the passage of the stock law the
cattle tick has become almost extinct
and exists only on a place here and
there. The first step in the matter
however, must be taken by the legis-
lature"

all the southern people would subsu-
tute pure oil for hog fat in their cook
ing. hog fat would decline in price to
no disadvantage to the southern peo-
ple and oil would advance with our
own people getting all the beneht!
And when we consider that the prin-
cipal significance of such change
would merely be to acknowledge that
the shortening we are using in our
bread is cotton seed oil and quit calling
il hog fat, is it not strange that we are
willing to pay our northern friends
such a big profit on account Of a delu-
sion that cannot be maintained with
out our own open-eyed connivance?
That there is prejudice to overcome
there is no question. There is more
than prejudice; there is tradition, and
that sometimes is even more stubborn.
The average housewife who has always
been accustomed to lard" or the cot
ton seed oil mixture that Is sold as
such will make an experiment OF the
pure oil and finding the result little
different from what is expected be-
cause of failure to strike the right pro-
norton first time will not only refuse
to try again, but will ever after con-
tinue declared enemy OF the proposed
innovation. And she will get lots or
support, because interested In the I'M
portance of keeping up the present de-
l.
sands of people and millions and mil
lions of money.
A short article that appeared in THE
ENQUIRER on this subject recently was
widely copied and a few days ago 1t
came under the discussion Of two trav-
cling men who met at the same hotel
in a neighboring town. One OF the traV-
cling men represented the Southern
Cotton Oil company and the other rep
resented a Chicago packing concern.
The oil man, of course defended the
article in all its details. The packing
house man denied almost every prop
osition and insisted that a reputable
newspaper would not print such an
article at all and no other kind OF a
newspaper would print it except for
pay. OF course the two disputants
were unable to arrive at an agree
ment.
This matter, however is of too great
Importance to be dismissed. Honest
ly give cotton seed oil the position to
n1 hn
cotton seed will be advanced. Advance
the price of cotton seed and the cotton
producer will be benefited. Benefit the
cotton producer and the southern peo-
pie generally will have more money
with which to pay the higher price for
oil or buy anything else they might
want.
