THE YoRKvILLE ENQUIRER, after
calling Senator Tillman all the hard
names 1t could think of before the pri-
mary, now says there is no sense In
continually nagging at Tillman."
Those who are in a position to know
say that York county's refutation of
the cause advocated by THE ENQUIRER
has had a wonderful softening effect
on it's editor and that for a little he
would now embrace Tillmanism.-
Orangeburg Times and Democrat.
THE ENQUIRER does not happen to
have the pleasure Of an exchange with
the Orangeburg Times and Democrat.
The above comes to it by way Of the
Columbia Record, and we have no rea-
son to doubt it's authenticity. AS to
how our Orangeburg contemporary
may have gotten the idea that we have
been calling Senator Tillman hard
names, we will have to leave to our
readers. The proposition Is too hard
for us. So also is it difficult to under
stand what our contemporary means
by embracing "Tillmanism." The use
of the word is quite common in the
newspapers, but just what it means we
confess we do not know. We do not
understand either, why the Orange
burg Times and Democrat, which we
understand has long enjoyed the rep
utation of being quite a reputable
newspaper, should try to misrepresent
THE ENQUIRER.

respondent asked Chairman Rrice
about the matter a few days after the

advised that while he was, satisfied
that the club had not been reorgan-
lied, and that no club roll was used
at the election, he only knew Of 1t as

therefore, was not in position to take

the change.

The Gigantic Sale" Of the Foushee

In the most attractive and convenient
| shape, and the doors were not finally
thrown open until about 10 o'clock
Wednesday. Then there was quite a
rush of buyers, and curing the balance
Of the day the big force Of extra clerks
was actually overwhelmed. There was
little for the clerks to do except to
wrap up purchases, as the customers
were pretty we'll able to do their own
trading. 1t was very much the same
yesterday, and business has been good
today. The most serious draw back to
the complete success Of the sale has
been the weather, which has been wet
and disagreeable since Tuesday night;
but Notwithstanding this, Mr.. Foushee
has been especially well pleased with
his big enterprise, and has no complaint
to make on any account. The sale con-
tinues until the latter part Of next
week, and the outlook continues to be
all that could be desired.

THE man who pays his debts ant
his taxes may be q blessing or curse
to the community. 1t depends OF
what else he does. In making thi
statement it is to be understood tina
by the word "debt" is meant the ordi
nary cash obligation which a man in

There are men who appear to believe
that so long as they are not indebted

or the municipality or the state fol
the last tax levy they have discharged
their whole duty and nothing more
can be asked of them. But in reality
mans duty TO his neighbor Is limit
er only by his power to do his neigh
Dor good, and his duty to the com
munity by his ability to be Of servic'
to it. The community in which .tht
prevailing statement is What do
get out Of it?" is one which does no
and cannot prosper.-Rock Hill Rec
ord.
We agree with the Record in the
declaration that the what do 1 ge

does not desire to detract from the
duty Of discharging cash obligations
There are few people who would no
give a hungry neighbor bread. There
are few people in this country who
would knowingly allow a fellow mar
to suffer for want Of any Of the neces'
stiles of life. But this does not touch
the debt paying matter. Debts gen
orally involve accommodation. The
man who seeks to buy on credit usu
ally does so because he lacks the cash
The man who sells to him on credit
reposes confidence in his integrity
The would-be purchaser gives a di'

action involve the highest and mos
sacred responsibility on the part Of
the purchaser. The man who viii

is devoid of every principle Of self

THIS newspaper has never objected

dispensary would not be forced up
on any town that does not want 1t. In
a like manner we think a county dis
pensary. with all it's bottling and other
doubtful works, should not be forced
upon us. The state dispensary is bad
enough, but forty county dispensaries
would be worse.-Abbeville Press and
Banner.
We agree with all this except the
proposition that the county dispensary
can be worse than the state dispense
ry. The murderous. debauching infiu-
ence on the individual is as bad in one
case as in the other. Either will make
the poor weak besotted victim sell the
shirt off his back in order to get mon
ey with which to buy. One will cause
as the other. There is absolutely nc
good in either. But the influence OF
the county dispensary under state con-
troll is more far reaching than the
In the case of the county dispensary
under state control, there is opportu-
nifty for bigger graft-more corruption
A central management with power to
milk graft from forty dispensaries is "a
more serious proposition to deal with
than a central management with pow
er to get graft from only few loca
dispensaries. But if the general as
sembly amends the present law so as
to abolish the central machine, the
Press and Banner may look for it that
all the political adventurers who have
been trying to save the state machine
will at once devote their attention to
getting control of the county ma
chimes. We hope the Press and Ban
ner will be on the other side when that
time comes and will give its influence

HURRAH for Spartanburg. Her juries
slip sometimes, but taking the record
of the county as a whole 1t is une-
qualed in the south for the strict en-
forcement of the laws. Ubi Millican,
the young man who killed his step
father, H. L. Cannon in defense of his
sisters honor, was yesterday convicted
of manslaughter with a recommends
ton to the mercy of the court. Judge
Dantzler Immediately imposed SEN
tence of two years in the penitentiary.
Ninety nine southern juries out Of a
hundred would have found verdict Of
not guilty, but they would have been
wrong. They would have violated their
oaths. The Spartanburg jury has aris-
en- high above personal feeling in the
matter. Young Millican did only what
he should have done and he will not be
punished. The Spartanburg people
will now make application for his par
don and a pardon he will get. But
there has been no prostitution Of the

mitted that they had practically aban-

turmoil now existing. Mr.. Taft said:

public, have resorted to every kind OF
obstruction with the object Of contin-
uing their control Of the administra-
ton President Palma and his advis-
ers have rejected terms of peace which
were honorable to them, though in the
form of a compromise with their op-
ponents. We are still striving to ar

complish a settlement without resort

ton convnces us that the elections
were thoroughly rotten. We do not

show that the insurgent commanders
have lost control of their forces, which
are now lawless bands that at any mo-
ment may loot and burn. The situa-

Personal and Other Matters.
Correspondence Of the iorkville ENQUIRER.
Rock Hill, September 27-The
Rev Calvin NJ. Young of this city, a
colored minister. who for the past
fourteen or fifteen years, has been the
pastor of Hermon Presbyterian
church of this city, was on the 18TH
instant elected to the presidency or
HARRISON college, at Abbeville, the
place made vacant by the departure
under peculiar circumstances of its
former president, Amos. Rev Young
has after deliberation decided to ac-
cept the position and will leave here
Saturday the 29th, to, take charge. OF
the affairs of the institution. Without
any exaggeration those in authority
might have culled the United States
without finding a better man for the
place. The new president Is a native
Of Abbeville county In the town or
Due West, Of good Christian parent
age and had the good fortune to be
reared under the influences Of the As
sociate Reformed Presbyterian peo-
pie of that American Drumtachty.
When he had grown to manhood
there he went to Biddle university at
Charlotte. N. c., and beginning at the
high school course spent twelve years
there under the teaching and influence
of such men as Drs Mattson and
Lawrence. He has been known to
this correspondent for twenty-three
years or more and he has always been
known as an upright and useful
Christian citizen, teaching his race
nothing but that which would make
for their own good and consequently
that of the white citizenship. Rev.
Young is well known by the white
people of Abbeville county and
favorably. 1t was no doubt this good
reputation which brought about this
unsought for election to an important
position where the opportunity for
the welding of good influence is large.
His congregation here will give him
up with regret. He has been not
only pastor, but teacher, he and his
wife who is congenial helpmeet.
Mr.. Cameron Johnson, an inde-
pendent missionary worker who has
spent the past twelve years in Japan,
will lecture in the First Presbyterian
church Friday evening under the aus

TO be very fine.
