on which date the last yearly record
of mill equipment for this territory
was closed-there are at the present
time 6,77S,1S6 cotton spindles-2S
per cent Of the entire number in the
United States-almost in the cotton
fields themselves. There are 500 es-
tablishments in the south which
consume raw cotton. This number
includes spinning mills and those es-
tablishments which use raw cotton in
the manufacture Of mattresses, bat
ting, gelt, etc. From the last census
bureau report II was found that there
were in the south S,6S5,S93 active
and idle spindles; in the north, 49,
325, 900 and the total number Of spin
dies compiled from these two sources
is $24,Ol0,393. The cotton consump-
ton of the southern mills amounts to
1916 per cent of the entire American
production. Not counting Virginia,
which secures practically all OF its
supplies from other states, North Car
olina leads in the per cent Of produc-
ton consumed, showing 1874 per cent
compared with 51.4 per cent in South
Carolina and 23.9 per cent in Geor-
gia. The consumption Of mills in the
two Carolinas amounts to 56.S per
cent of that of the southern states.
For the country, Massachusetts, ranks
first and South Carolina second, al
though the combined consumption Of
the two Carolinas exceeds that Of
Massachusetts, by 170,S44 bales.

TAX COLLECTIONS.

There has been a marked change in
the methods Of tax collection during
the past ten or twelve years, or rather
large proportion Of the taxpayers to
make their payments by mail instead
Of in person.
The habit of waiting until the last
day has always been strong, and there
Is very little Improvement along that
line; but the change Of method Is
most noticeble in the manner in which
so many tax payers manage to finally
secure their receipts.
Ten years or, so ago, it was the rule
to see the treasurer's Office literally
crowded with waiting taxpayers some
times for an entire week before the last
day, and while those crowds are still
in evidence, they are much smaller
than formerly and they seem to be
growing smaller and smaller each
year.
rush to which the treasurer is annual
ly subjected. That which is lacking
in the shape of crowds is easily made
up in increased mail receipts.
During the closing week the treas
urer gets great bundles of letters each
day, and the bundles get larger and
'arger until they reach the climax on
the final day. The result, Of course, is
lot Of high pressure work in day
time and much additional work at
night to get the books in shape for ex-
piration day.
These last payments come from all
kinds of people including those who
pay on nothing but a poll, and those
who pay on cotton mills and railroads
The payments are made by checks,
certified or otherwise and a single
check sometimes covers a long list Of
small taxpayers.
The small taxpayers get the infor7
nation as to the amount due from the
treasurer as he goes his rounds, or af-
terward from his Office and then ar
range with some merchant or bank to
forward the money.
This new arrangement suits the
treasurer all right except as to the de-
lay He would just as lief have the
money come through the mail as in
person. provided stamps are enclosed
and the payment is made early enough
to give him time to work 1t up; but
the receipt Of great masses Of checks
and long lists Of names on the last
days makes him hustle at a rate that
involves no little hardship.

The Enquirer For 1906.

THE ENQUIRER did not make any
special promises to it's subscribers for
1905; but we think most of our readers
will bear us out in the claim that the
makers of the paper did lot Of earn
est, faithful work.
We made mistakes all right in 1905
We are very well aware of that. Some
of them were discovered in due time
and earnest efforts We're made to cor
rect them. Others were not discovered
and they will continue to stand
against us.
But we want to say this. We have
not done anybody any harm inten-
tionally. We have borne no malice
against any one, and we have given nc
evidence of any malice. 1t will be the
same way through the year 1906.
The mission of THE ENQUIRER is tc
be of as much service as possible tc
the county, and the state and to God
That was the aim of it's founder, and
though now in less able hands, those
who remain responsible for It, are try
ing not to forget the charge that has
been committed to them to keep.
While as yet we have sought nc
credit on that occount, we desire to
call attention to the fact that there
was something like a 20 per cent en-
largement in the size of THE EN-
oUIRER last year 1t occurred in the
early summer. without special an
nouncement and has been maintained
since. and this has been without any
request for an increased subscription

not care to promise. Something may
happen to interfere with our plans;

HORSESHOE ROBINSON,

| After careful consideration Of the
available literary field, THE ENQUIRER
has decided to give it's readers for
their next serial the thrilling story of
Horseshoe Robinson, by John. P. Ken
nedy.
| This story was written in 1885, and
stands among the foremost works of
American fiction. 1t is what Is class
ed as an historical novel; but 1t is
mostly true, and the fact that 1t Is
true detracts in no way from its abb
sorbing interest.
We are very we'll aware that many
of our readers have read the book; but
at the same time we also believe that
there is not one who has read 1t who
cannot afford to read it again, and
also we are convinced that there is no
other story that we could publish that
would be Of more real worth to our
readers, along with the delightful en-
tertainment 1t will afford.
Horseshoe Robinson was sturdy
old patriot. An honest, horny handed
son of toll. without education or prop
erty. but filled with a strong love Of
country and afraid of nothing un-
der heaven except doing wrong. He
hated treachery and deceit above all
things, and believed in fighting his
battles man to man in a manly way.
| The scene of the story Is laid
throughout South Carolina, principal
ly in the counties of York, Union and
Spartanburg, and most Of the names
and places entering. into the narrative
are still familiar to those who live in
the neighborhoods referred to and to
the public generally.
In the closing chapters Of the story
there is a graphic description of the
battle Of Kings Mountain, and Rev.
DR.. Latham, than whom there was
never a better authority on the SUBJ

curate of which he has any knowledge.

was several times a member of con-
gress, and was secretary of the navy
under President Fillmore. He was uni
versally regarded as a man of great
ability and Horseshoe Robinson was
his literary masterpiece. He died in
1870.

THERE is no reasonable doubt Of the
fact that the Southern Cotton associa-
ton has accomplished wonders in up
holding the price of cotton. While our
own people even members, are not CIV
ing the association credit for all it is
doing it's influence is generally recog-
nized north and abroad. While every
body understands that the price of
cotton ought to be controlled by the
laws of supply and demand, and while
there is now very widespread knowl-
edge of the fact that these laws are at
present operating to a more marked
degree than ever before, since the
civil war, there are many who have
not stopped to think that this condition
has been brought about almost entire
ly through the efforts Of the Southern
Cotton association. OF course, 'if'' is
big word, and may be used as a
short way around almost any PROPOSE
ton; but we have no hesitation in say
ing that it is our deliberate opinion
that if it had not been for the Southern
Cotton association. the average price
received for the current crop Of cot
ton would not have been above cents,
We believe also that there Is not a
man in the United States who is more
thoroughly cognizant of this fact than
is Mr. Theodore H. Price. the shrewd
bear leader of New York.

ly manner. It may have been because
of the presence of a number Of young
ladies who went along with the boys
and who no doubt kept them on their
good behavior
- Mrs. Sarah J. Eccles a most esti-
mable widow Of Yorkville, died at her
home on Lincoln street at 1885 yes
terday morning and was buried In the
Yorkville cemetery yesterday afternoon
at o'clock, the services being con-
Quoted by Rev. DR.. s. A. Weber. Mrs.
Eccles, whose maiden name was Hare,
was born at Newark, N. j., on May 81,
1925, and was brought to Yorkville by
her parents in 1926. She was Sis
ter Of the late Mrs. Rose A. OLeary,
Mrs. Catharine O'Farrell, and Richard
Hare She was married in 1S41 to
Thomas ]. Eccles, a printer and pub
Usher Of a newspaper in Yorkyille.
Her husband went to the war as
captain; but died in 1851. There were
no children. Mrs. Eccles was most
estimable woman and had numerous
friends in Yorkville. Her death was
brought about by the fall sustained
last Friday, she being unable to re-
cuperate on account Of her advanced
age.
There was a time when Yorkville
was going backward; there was
time when she was standing still;
but now she is moving forward.
There is absolutely no question as to
her progress. 1t Is not like the loco
motive and 1t is not like the snail; 1t
is more like the resistless stream,
with its source in inexhaustible
springs, and it's objective in endless
growth and development. Attention
| was called to this fact several years
| ago; but only a few people seemed
to realize its correctness. They re-
membered only the time when York
Vile was going backward or stand
ing still. Within the past year or two
everybody has seen numerous con-
crete evidences of growth; but what
has taken place in the past three
is not a mark to what will occur
within the next five years. York
vile already more Of a city In
some things than other towns three
times her size, is going to be a city
in size as well.
- The local cotton mills are al
coming along nicely now. Tavora IL
making a good profit and the stock
is in considerable demand. The York
mill, which has been through some
squally times during the past few
years. is now said to be getting of
more production per spindle today
than ever before In its history, and
having bought big supply Of cottor
at a low figure, and being able tc
sell its output at a long profit, II
coming right along. The stockhold'
ers are feeling more encouraged thar
for several years, and general conf
dence has about been restored. Thi!
is a splendid property, and the out
look Is that its stock will soon be
again above par. Many Of the hold

ANNUAL SUPPLY BILL.

The county board of commissioners
for York county met in annual ses-
sion last Friday and considered bus
ness requiring particular attention
and especially for the purpose Of
making up estimates as to the reve-
nue. that would be required for next
year.
The proposition for a joint meet
ing of the legislative delegation with
the commissioners materialized only
in part Senator Brice and repre-
sentatives Beamguard and Sage were
present; but Representatives Ardrey
and Massey failed to show up.
The practicability Of reducing the
levy in anticipation Of probable in
crease in the assessment was dis
cussed, and while the general idea
seemed to be that a levy Of A mills
will raise considerably more money
next year, still in view Of the fact
that the county is having to borrow
$4,000 each year to keep even, and
there is a proposed additional esti-
mate of $1,000 for repairs on the
jail, it was agreed to leave the levy
Just as 1t has been Al mills.
The estimates were finally made up
