SOUTH CAROLINA COTTON AsSoCIA-
TIoN.-The general call for meeting
of the South Carolina branch of the
Southern Cotton association has been
issued a"d the delegates will convene
in Columbia tomorrow, says the Co.
lumbia correspondent of the News and
Courier. This meeting has been called
for the purpose of electilg delegates
to the southern convention and also for
the election of officers for the coming
year. The success of the organization
of the past year is too well known to
require comment. Last year at this
time cotton was selling around Z cents,
while the united efforts Of the farmers
for the past twelve months have push
ed the price steadily up past the much
desired 10 cents on up to 10. The Of
ficers of the association are jubilant
and the fact that the association has
been kept rigidly out of politics is one
of the reasons given for its success.
At the meeting here Wednesday some
interesting figures will be presented
showing the additional money made for
the planters of cotton by the organiza-
ton. What has been accomplished
during the past year can be accom-
plished again ard now that it has been
practically settled that the cotton mills
of the south are with the association
in it's movements it's success is assur-
ed The officers of the association at
president are as follows:
PreSident-E. D. Smith of Lee coun-

WITHIN THE TOWN.

There was quite a large number
of negroes in town yesterday on ac-
count of Emancipation day. There
was no procession however.
- The ceremony of ringing out the
old and ringing in the new took place
Sunday night at midnight as usual
1t is a time honored ceremony in York
VILE There are now living grand
fathers who participated in 1t when
they were boys. In times past, also
the ceremony was accompanied by
very disorderly conduct. One repre-
hensible practice inseparable from the
occasion was the taking off Of gates
and the tearing up Of bridges. There
was nothing Of the kind this year.
Everything passed off in very order

THE PROGRAMME OF THE HOUSE.
The house Of representatives, says a
Washington dispatch, will settle down
to work as soon as 1t meets on Thurs
day and possibly before the end Of
the week 1t will pass the bill providing
for the admission of two new states.
The first thing to dispose Of Is the
reference of the presidents message to
the subject upon which floods Of ora
tory were expanded before the holiday
recess. General debate has closed and
after a short discussion under the
| five-minute rule a vote will be taken
upon the only contested point which
is whether the portion Of the message
relating to insurance shall be referred
to the ways and means committee or
the committee on interstate and for
eign commerce. The contention has
been over the point whether Legislature
for the control of insurance compa-
nies shall be under the taxing power
of the government or the power to
control commerce between the states.
The statehood bill is still in committee
but it is known that it can be brought
out at any time and put before the
house. Acting in accordance with the
decision of the Republican caucus 1t
| is expected the majority members Of
the committee on rules will bring in a
rule, making the statehood bill spe-
cial order for the admission Of two
states. AS the measure now stands,
and as it will be reported, it provides
| for the admission of Oklahoma and In
dian Territory as one state, with the
name Oklahoma. and the admission of
New Mexico and Arizona as another
state named Arizona. There Is prac-
tically no opposition anywhere to the
Oklahoma proposition. but there is
determined opposition to coupling
New Mexico and Arizona together.
Particularly do certain interests in
Arizona object and the objection is
voiced by the almost unanimous vote
of the minority.

KINGS MOUNTAIN MONUMENT.

AS to whether the Federal govern
ment will make a park Of Kings
Mountain battle-ground and erect a
fitting monument to commemorate the
great decisive battle that was fought
there, depends more than anything
else whether the appropriation COM
mitteee can be induced to take up
matter like this at time when the
government expenditures are running
so far short of receipts.
That, In general way, Is the
opinion Of Congressman Finley, as
expressed to the reporter last Sat-
urday. Discussing the matter further
in reply to the reporters questions,
Mr.. Finley said:
II have no doubt of the fact that
the government will some day recog-
nize Kings Mountain In a fitting
manner; but Just when I cannot say.
1 hope 1t will be done soon and 1 am
doing all I can to bring 1t about.
1.-The bill introduced by Congress
man Webb, is the same one ] drew
and introduced in the ,Fifty-seventh
congress. He introduced it at my re-
quest, and I also reintroduced the
same bill. We are working together
in the matter, and doing what we
can to get the necessary appropri-
ation."
Mr.. Finley's attention was called
to a statement that was recently
made in the News and Courier to
the effect that not more than half
the members Of congress had ever
heard Of Kings Mountain, and II
aroused him not a little; but after a
hearty laugh he made this observa-
ton:
"I think maybe the News and
Courier Is rather too rash on con-
gress. I can't say just how much
revolutionary history the average
congressman knows; but I will tel
you this: Mr.. Cannon, the speaker
not only knows all about the battle
Of Kings Mountain; but he is very
favorable to the proposition to erect
monument there. He read revo'
lutionary history when he was boy
and If you or anybody else think!
he Is not as much interested in the
traditions Of this country, in tht
achievements Of the colonial patriot!
in their struggle for liberty, as any
Of us, I am here to tell you that 4
is all mistake. Mr.. Cannon is {
mana mighty good man and tht
only objection 1 have to him Is tina
he is a Republican. When 1t comes
to party matters he Is as hidebount
and uncompromising as-as l would
be II ! were in his place."
If the government can decide tt
erect a monument and create a parl
at Kings Mountain, there will bt
no trouble about acquiring the title
to the property. The Kings Noun
tain monument association attended
to that in 1880 and the Kings Noun
tain chapter D. A. r. is now in {
position to turn the property over a.
soon as the government indicates 1t!
willingness to do something.

The Columbia Record announces
that it has given out a contract for a
perfecting press, which is to be INSTALL
ed at an early day. We have been
watching the growth of the Record for
a good many years with much interest,
and considering the excellence Of the
service it has been giving, we are not
at all surprised at this latest unmis-
taxable evidence Of prosperity. And in
this connection, by the way we will
take occasion to say to our contem-
porary that while we frequently find
ourselves at cross purposes with 1t, we
are none the less pleased to see 1t get
ting along so well 1t is a good news

WE take great pleasure in giving
our. readers timely notice that in DR..
Lathan's history Of South Carolina, the
publication Of which is commenced to-
day, they are getting a work that is of
rare present and future value. Every
member of every family to which THE
ENQUIRER goes should make it point
to read this history from the begin
ming and not miss one installment to
the end. There is no better history of
the state during the period dealt with
in existence, and although this will
certainly be published in book form
some day, it may be a long time. In
the meantime, these papers will be of
especial value, and people who save
them are pretty sure to get from
their providence more than enough
satisfaction to pay for their trouble.

Judge Hydrick heard a number of
motions for new trials just before the
sine die adjournment of the recent
term of the circuit court, but gave no
intimation Of his purpose except in the
case Of Ben Green VS.. the Catawba
Power company. In that case he OBJ
served that he thought he had been
sufficiently explicit In his exposition
Of the law. He took the papers in all
cases home with him.
The Loan and Savings and the First
National banks paid their semi-annual
dividends of 8 per cent on January 1.
Both banks are prospecting most sat-
isfactorily and the dividends were paid
without an effort, leaving handsome
surplusses in both cases. The banks Of
Yorkville have deservedly won a most
enviable reputation for absolute re-
liability, and they are without doubt
among the most solid and substantial
institutions Of the Piedmont. .-
The custom of contributing the dol
lars received by foremen Of juries for
verdicts to the Confederate monument
fund is now pretty we'll established.
Among the dollars contributed to the
fund at the last term Of the court and
already reported was one from Mr.. s.
c. Smith. These verdict dollars used
to go for a general all round treat; but
they have also been used for many
useful and charitable purposes as

monument fund will continue to get

Referring to the correspondence be-
tween himself and the governor on the
subject of the enforcement Of the IL
quor law. as published in the last is
sue of THE ENQUIRER, Senator Brtce
on yesterday said to the reporter: II
did not keep copy of my letter to the
governor, and did not remember the
exact wording of it until I saw 1t re-
published. The postscript, however,
is not altogether clear to the public
came about like this. Some time ago
people in Kings Mountain township
reported to me the names Of several IL
quor sellers and gave me the names Of
witnesses. After conference with
Sheriff Brown I wrote Constable Jen-
kins and suggested that he come over
to Yorkville. Mr.. Jenkins said he
would be over here court week and
would take occasion to raid the liquor
sellers some day while court was In
session. After Mr. Jenkins came he
had an interview with me and told
me that Chief Constable Hammett had
advised him that it was against the
law to operate in Kings Mountain
township. I saw Hammett shortly af-
terward and asked him what he meant
by such a holding. He insisted that
Jenkins had misunderstood him.
told him that there was no law on the
subject, although there might be pol
itics. asked him also about the idea
of getting the governor to appoint con-
stables to be paid by the county COM
missioners and to operate under their
Jurisdiction. He said he would see
the governor about the matter, and he
afterward wrote me that the governor
was unfavorable to the idea. 1t was to
these circumstances that I referred in
my postscript"

portation in return for official favors,
the granting of passes to the already
rich and compelling the common peo-
pie to foot the bill was fast creating
class of people who felt they were
above the law. The ownership of the
legislature, the subserviency of public
officials, favoriti1m of the courts, and
the suppression of a free press at
last aroused the people and the result
of such awakening has been recently
shown by the vote of the Legislature
of this state and that of the house
of representatives at Washington.
What must be now watched is to see
that the railroads are given a fair
chance to reform their entire course of
conduct so that hereafter they will
come before the people honestly and
squarely for whatever they desire and
not in the role of bribers and cor
ruptionists.

The old feud that for years has ex-
listed between the present leaders of
of the Pennsylvania r. r. Co., and the
Standard Oil company threatens to
break out afresh. The former COM
pany, through illegal combinations
has about absolute control of the West
Virginia coal fields, and has been
making enormous profits out of the af-
fair. Now comes the announcement
that the Standard Oil company has
already in the course of construe-
ton from these coal fields to the sea-
board railroad line and has bought
one hundred thousand acres of choice
West Virginia coal lands. To show
the power of the Standard Oil people
it is announced that four hundred
miles of this road is in the process
of construction, and that not dollars
worth of stocks or bonds will be is
sued, the promoters putting up all of
the money for the completion of the
road. 1t is predicted that the final
end of the warfare between these two
elements will be the bankrupting of
the Pennsylvania company or its alb
sorption by the Standard crowd.

THE ARMY CANTEEN.

The army canteen question has
been one of the most bitterly con-
tested issues between those in charge
Of the army and those who are op-
posed to the traffic. A bill has been
introduced in congress to restore the
canteen, and the San Francisco Call
has the following comments to make
concerning the same.
in the canteen the men had the
use of beer and light wines, with
such food refreshments as they need
ed to exc out the army ration. But
that was not all. The canteen was
the enlisted mans post club. It's
profits provided a library and read
ing room and the recreation of games.
Man is a social being. He Graves the
contact and company of his fellows.
If these be within his reach under
circumstances that make the associ-
alton innocent his craving is satisfi-
ed, and he lis made a better man.
whether he be a citizen or soldier.
If his social instincts cannot be graf
ified in an innocent way, especially
the soldier will seek that qualification
under conditions that drag him down
into vice.
What would the enemies of the
canteen have the soldier do? In his
barracks there are no means of
amusement, no chance even to in
struet his mind. There is no post
school in which he can strengthen
the weak places in his education. He
must be an exceptional man if he
does not recklessly seek break In
the monotony by means that finally
destroy him morally and physically
He will not occupy his mind reading
tracts upon the dangers of alcohol
and tobacco, nor will he satisfy him
self in the perusal of pious tracts
Many think, however, that he should
find such occupation sufficient 10 salts
fy his social hunger, and it was be-
lieved by the good and well-meaning
people who carried on the anti-can-
teen crusade that they would be able
to turn the army into a great and
pious camp, where tracts and hymns
would fill in the giddy round of recre-
attion.
They were wrong. The medical
statistics and reports of the officers
show how wrong they were. We do
not expect that any of the preponder-
ance of testimony will convince them.
They will go up like an army with
banners against the bill to restore
the canteen. They will be supported
by the vicious element that profits
out of the sale of bad whisky in the
deadfalls that fringe every army post
Cunning vice and simple minded vir-
tue will go hand in hand to beat the
bill. Vice will know just what it is
doing and virtue will be deaf and blind
to the sure consequences.
