Correspondence OF the Yorkville Enquirer.
OLIVE, Jan. 6-The farmers Of this
neighborhood have about completed all
necessary arrangements for their oper-
ations during 1906. There has, how
ever, been considerable stirring around
in regard to the matter.
Mr.. John Aycock has leased his farm
to Mr. Allen and son and moved with
his family to Rock Hill to take charge
Of Congressman Finley's farm and dali
ry interests there.
Mrs. Lou Gouley has moved to a
place near Sharon.
Mr.. ]. r. Conner has taken charge Of
Mr.. w. L. Hills Youngblood place.
Mr.. Belton Mickle Is building nice
five-room dwelling on the Gwin place,
recently purchased by him.
The people Of this whole section
have been put under very considerable
obligation to DR.. Fitzgerald Of Balti-
more on account of a private bene-
faction instituted by that gentleman In
the shape Of a public library DR..
Fitzgerald commenced by erecting at
Lowryville, at his own expense hand
some little library building. This was
about a year ago. or little more. Since
then the shelves of the library have
been stocked with about 1000 volumes
of the choicest literature to be had,
and as the next step the doctor estab-
lished there delivery routes extending
out II different directions from Lowry
vile and employed a ma1 to de-
liver and take up the books. The
rooks come right to the door of those
who happen to be so fortunate as to
he on the route, in cases of As or so.
DR.. Fitzgerald continues to bear all the
expenses himself, Notwithstanding that
some Of our people have requested the
privilege Of being allowed to help.

THE provision of law under which
special terms of court have been held
has proved to be about as complete a
farce as has ever been put on the stat
ute books. It's practical operation has
been about like this. No special term
can be had except by agreement Of the
members of the bar and no member
has ever been known to agree until af-
ter 1t had been stipulated that such
cases as he might be interested in and
which he did not want tried would not
be called up. AS a rule, attorneys for
defendants always stand for delay, and
unless the defendant be a member Of
some other bar, the special term don't
go. Then after the special term is
called, it is ordinarily necessary to go
to the bar for a special judge. Mem
bers Of the bar are not going to antag-
onize fellow members unnecessarily, If
they can help 1t, and the special Judge
therefore is going to be as agreeable
as he can to all parties concerned. He
Is not going to force the lawyers to do
business unless they want to. Then
after a case is tried, there is a tenden-
cy on the part of the special judge to
grant new trial. In the first place he
wants to be agreeable, and in the Sec
ond place he does not care to put him
self in position to be reversed by the
supreme court. AS a matter Of fact,
although the special terms have cost a
,ot Of money, they have accomplished
but little business. The act providing
for special terms should be repealed
forthwith.

THE Charleston News and Courier
is one of the most analytical newspa-
pers in America as we'll as one Of the
most discriminating, and that 1t has
discovered the alleged remission Of the
editors of the "All Through the Year
cook book in failing to give something
authentic on the cooking Of bacon Is
not surprising. Indeed, 1t would have
been surprising had the News and
Courier failed to note this omission.
But the matter is easily explained.
Everybody up this way knows how to
cook bacon. Even the men can do It..
The ladies are we'll aware Of this fact
and lost sight Of the probability that
there was anybody, anywhere, who
would need specific instruction along
this line. We are quite sure our
Charleston contemporary must under
stand the trick. If it does not, we will
undertake to get from the editors Of
All Through the Year full information.

Uncle Robin was a Methodist. He
Joined the Methodist church at Ca
naan under the preaching Of the Rev.
Samuel Townsend, and remained a
consistent and valuable member Of
the church up to the time Of his
death.
Uncle Robin had the misfortune a
great many years ago, to be bitten by
copperhead snake. This was on
June IA, 1850. The wound was on
one Of his legs. He came near dying
from the bite at the time; but finally
recovered somewhat. The wound,
itself never healed, however. 1t be-
came the centre Of a running sore,
which soon involved the whole lower
limb, and which required constant
and careful attention during the bal
ance of the Did mans days. 1t was
at last the Ca lse Of his death.
Despite his terrible aff1iction last
ing for so many years, Uncle Robin
had most delightful disposition. He
seemed to be in love with all the
world, and never had a harsh word
for anybody Because of this. he was
held in high esteem by all who knew
him.
Uncle Robin had a splendid mem
ory and his acquaintance extended
back to men who had participated In
the Revolutionary war. He used to
tell of having talked with men who
had fought at Kings Mountain and
remembered with pleasure Of hear
ing the older female members Of his
boyhood home say how they heard
the shooting during the battle and
the shouting afterward.
The funeral of Uncle Robin took
place at Beersheba today, and was at
tended by a great concourse Of people
from all parts of the country immedi.
ately surrounding.

The Gouernor,s Messaue.

Through the courtesy of Mr.. August
Kohn, We are enabled to give in this
issue quite a satisfactory summary of
Governor Heyward's annual message to
the general assembly which was read
in the house'and senate today at noon.
The summary includes all that the
governor has to say on the dispensary
question, the biennial sessions question
and with reference to the Catawba In
dian land claims. The various other
subjects dealt with are merely referred
to with an indication of the governors
attitude.
Although THE ENQUIRER has more
than once found itself at more or less
serious difference with Governor Hey
ward as to various public questions,
particularly the dispensary, it gives US
pleasure to say that his message today
meets our approval almost in it's en-
tirety.
AS to there being anything good in
the dispensary law, so long as the state
continues in control of the whisky bus
mess, we are very doubtful. The dis
pensary law contains certain features
that we approve-the idea of sealed
packages, daylight salts, no drinking on
premises etc; but we do not believe
that the state can possibly conduct this
business without danger of corruption,
and we are ready to quit trying. But
we agree with the governor in his idea
of leaving the counties to enforce pro-
hibitioI at their own expense. The
law can never be enforced by foreign
constables under the control of a CEN
trail authority.
We are CAD to see that the governor
is unwilling to destroy the Citadel, and
we are inclined to the opinion that
there will be no serious objection to
the changing of the South Carolina
college into a university, so long as
the change involves no harm to the
Citadel.
We do not think there is any doubt
of the fact that the special court eX-
pertinent has proved complete fail
Ure. and the governor is right in re-
cCmmending the repeal of the law un-
der which they are held.
Taken altogether, the message is a
statesman-like document, very well
calculated to engage the most thought
full attention not only of the members
of the general assembly; but of the
people of the state generally.

ment is the report that this is the
third money package which has been
lost in the last two or three years.
The first was for $4,000, and was
supposed to have been distracted
from the safe at Columbia. The sec
ond was a case of hocus pocus, in
which a shipment was started out as
$1,000 in real money reached New
York in the shape of pieces Of news
paper neatly cut to the size of bank
notes. They were as mysterious as
the disappearance of the $4,000 for
which the authorities are now hunting.

THE Kings Mountain chapter d. A.
R.. has started a movement looking
to the erection of a statue Of John c.
Calhoun in the South Carolina niche
in the Capitol at Washington. Practi-
cally all Of the states are represented
in Statuary Hall with statues of the
great men. and South Carolina which
has produced as many great men as
any other state. is not represented at
all. The plan Of the ladies Is to ask
the legislature to appropriate $4,000
for the purpose, and to put in the Stat
uary Hall the statue of an intellectual
giant who will easily measure up to
the best of those around him.

ROBERT LOVE DEAD,

Mr.. Robert Love, Familiarity and af-
fectionally known throughout the
western part of York county as Uncle
Robin, is dead. He passed away at
the home Of his son, Mr.. r. ]. Love,
last Monday morning, at about two
o'clock, after having been confined to
his bed about two weeks. His death
was due partly to old age; but more
dihe city to the effects of snake bite
received nearly fifty-six years ago.
Uncle Robin was born on Clark s
Fork on. the plantation on which he
died, on May II, 1917. He was Of
Scotch-Iris descent. His great
grandfather was one Of the Scotch
men who fled from their native land
on account Of the struggle between
the adherents Of the Presbyterian
form of government, and of the
Church Of England, and went to Ire
land. His grandfather was born in
Londonderry, Ireland, and came to
America with his three sons, John,
William and Robert, in 1890. The
elder Love purchased a large body of
land on Clark's Fork, and most of it
descended to his sons. The owner
ship of the plantation on which Uncle
Robin died came down from his faith
er. Robert, and was still held by Uncle
Robin at the time of his death.
The educational advantages of this
section were poor during the youth
of Uncle Robin, and were confined to
Indifferent private schools. Books al
so were scarce, and his teaching was
mostly from the Bible, with which
book he was made familiar from COW
er to cover. And thus the Bible be-
came the infallible guide of all his
after life.
Uncle Robin was twice married,
the first time to Jane Love. and the
second time to Abigail Bradley. His
first wife bore him seven children,

How the Bears Destroy Confidence
In Conditions.


Editor Yorkville Enquirer:
Never before in the history Of the
cotton trade has such a multitude
nous amount Of Bear" dope and IN
territorial Misrepresentation Of actual
facts been given to the south through
paid advertisements IN the columns
Of the press and by the distribution
of circular letters through the mails
and earth to depress future contracts
and the prices Of spot cotton are
cudgeling their brains in the modern
art Of juggling figures and making
new high records in distorting statis-
tics In the supreme effort to make
small yield of American cotton take
on the appearance Of plentiful sup
ply. Hundreds Of thousands Of dol
lars have been expended In the past
two months in cablegrams, kilograms.
paid articles in newspapers, postage
and market letters in an herculean
undertaking to deceive the public,
discourage the farmers and local spot
holders into rushing the remnants or
this crop on the market, unsettle pub
lie opinion in the south temporarily
so as to break the market and induce
liquidation. The spinners have threat
ened to withdraw from the market,
which is an absurdity in the face OF
their enormous commitments of the
entire output Of their mills for the
next six to eight months. Prominent
~ INTEREST
in daily publishing comparative esti-
mates of this crop with years that
have gone before. These tangled and
muchly juggled statistics emanate
from the offices of gentlemen who
breathe the atmosphere Of a climate
one thousand miles from southern
cotton fields and whose eyes have not
witnessed the actual condition of a
single cotton field in the south this
year. The statistics and daily reports
which they put out in the stupendous
efforts for private gain are simply
the nightmares of overcharged brains
rejecting individual views in the for
lorn hope of changing at least tenn
porarily the law Of supply and de-
mand. The interest of the spot hold
er is not considered. The great des-
ideratum is paper contracts and hot
air. Thousands of people read this
"Bearish dope" scattered over the
south daily and know it to be false,
yet they tremble in doubt and sur
render their honest convictions and
southern manhood before the edicts
which emanate from the fine Italian
hands of their enemies. This crop
can no more be compared with past
yields in the matter of picking. gin
ming and selling than could be the
enormous production Of 1904. Let
every man in the south stand pat on
the actual conditions which confront
him. Spurn these juggled statistics
as you would an adder invading the
holy precincts of your home and re-
main fixed and unalterable In your
determination to secure higher prices
for the balance of this crop, which
will unquestionably prove to be one
of the smallest grown in a number of
years. Yours truly,
HARVIE JORDAN,
President Southern Cotton Association.
