FINLEY AND STRAIT.

The Chester Reporter Of today has
the following about the speeches Of
DR.. Strait and Mr.. Finley at Armenia,
Chester county. last Saturday:
DR.. T. ]. Strait opened his speech
by comparing the records Of Iati-
mer and Finley in obtaining mail
routes, the former having sixty-seven
to his credit, and the latter sixteen
only. Finley deserves some measure
of credit for what he has done, but
he, (Strait,) had done more In fif-
teen minutes than Finley has accom-
plished in eight years. He secured
the re-appointment of southern ca
diets when a boy from the south failed
at West Point or Annapolis. Stated
that he could not see why he would
not vote for Chester as a point In the
proposed Federal judicial circuit
Would step out Of the way rather
than balk a committees work. Rid
iculed Finley for general inefticiency
in falling to see the agricultural re-
port leak Finley has never advanced
an idea not contained in the Demo-
cratic platform. Charged Finley With
employing various persons with the
sole purpose Of getting their votes.
Instanced this by stating that Mr..
CDR. Strait's) to make a small roll of
voters, paying him SIS or $50 for this
nominal labor Touched briefly on
the tariff and Philippine question.
Congressman T.. E. Finley stated
that he always has stood and always
will stand on the Democratic plat
form. Spoke hopefully of Democratic
success Ascribed the fatherhood Of
the rural free delivery scheme to
Tom Watson. He has secured more
than 100000 in appropriations,
since going to congress. Has secured
a soil survey and Chester would have
had one this summer had not the
force had to go elsewhere. Has moth
ing to do with the appointment or
carriers and other offices in the ap-
pointment of which DR.. Strait charg-
ed him with bad faith. Has commit
ted himself to Rock Hill in the Fed
eral court matter and will stick to
his promise.

A number OF ladies assembled IN the
court house last Friday afternoon for
the purpose Of organizing in behalf Of
a cleaner and prettier town. Because
of the rain there was not very large
attendance, but those present showed
an enthusiastic interest that is bound
to win and they proceeded to organize

president; Mrs. w. B. Moore, vice
president; Mrs. w. H. Fowler, secre-
tary and Mrs. M. ]. Walker, treasurer.
The name of the organization Is to be

there Is every reason to believe that
the organization will receive the
hearty cooperation Of the people. '

that Lyon has been practicing for sew
en- years, and during that time he has
had a number of cases before the su-
preme court on appeal; that his prac-
tice is about as good as that of any
other lawyer,at the, Abbeville bar, and
that if elected he will discharge the du-
ties of the office of attorney general
with credit to himself and to- the full
satisfaction of the public. 1t seems te
us that the employers of the Record
might do very well to give it to under
stand that they desire it to stick to the
facts.

business for many years In the room
now occupied by the postoffice.
During the latter part of the war, Mr..
Moore married Miss Elise Colcock, OF
the we'll known Charleston family OF
that name, and as the result Of that
marriage, there were five children, OF
whom all survive as follows: Miss
Maggie Moore, postmaster at York
Vile; Mr.. H. C. Moore of Clarksville,
Texas, Mrs. C. E. Spencer, Mrs. j. S.
Brice and Mrs. w. P. Harrison, all OF
Yorkville.
Although never very actively EN-
gagged In politics, except during the
campaign Of 1875, because Of his work
in that campaign and because Of his
fitness for the position, Mr.. Moore
was appointed auditor of York county
by Governor Wade Hampton, and in
1882, or shortly afterward President
Cleveland appointed him to the York
Vile postm astership, which office he
filled quite acceptably for four years
After being succeeded in the post
office by his daughter, Mr.. Moore al
ready beginning to feel the weight OF
his increasing years, retired from ac-
tive business, and spent the balance of
his days in more or less irresponsible
leisure. He was pleasant and agree
able to everybody, good company and
was we'll liked by all who knew him.
During the past few years, Mr..
Moore has been noticeably growing
feebler and feebler, and his care has
been a source Of very considerable So
licitation by the members Of the fam
lily, all of whom gave him their most
loving attention to the last.
The funeral services were conducted
by Rev. E. E. Gillespie, pastor of the
Presbyterian church, Of which the de-
ceased had long been a consistent
member

SC NGH IOOI IIIdI
Tried Himself.

- Col. John c. Haskell and Gen.
Willie Jones are in a serious tangle.
1t Is the result of charges that Col.
Haskell made against Gen. Jones.
At a recent campaign meeting in
Richland county, Col. Haskell, who Is
a candidate for the senate, said that
the dispensary had corrupted and
besmirched everybody who had ever
been connected with It: that the
members of the boards of control had
gone in poor men and come out rich,
but that none Of them had come out
clean. Mr.. Weston, Col. Haskell's op-
ponent, asked him how about Gen.
Jones, and Col. Haskell replied that
he had heard Gen Jones's own BROTH
in-law say that Lanahan had paid
for repairs and improvements on
Jones's own house. Later Gen. Jones
wrote Col. Haskell letter demanding
the name of the brother-in-law re-
ferred to and at the same time stat
ing that the assertion was false. Col.
Haskell replied that William H. Cald-
we'll was the brother-in-law referred
to. Col. Jones then stated that Will
liam H. Caldwell had gone to Califor-
MIA ten years ago and that he had not
been east of the Mississippi river
since. He also stated that his house
was remodeled TWO years after Cald-
we'll went west. He repeated that
the statement was false.

BIG FISH STORY.

The Charlotte Chronicle of yester-
day afternoon is responsible for the
following:
terrible fish story comes today
from South Carolina. A man, a
North Carolinian, came into the
Chronicle office this afternoon and,
with a sort of you-may- -not-believe-it
air. said I've got a pretty good fish
tale to tell you, If you care to publish

they grow the biggest things In the
world, had the good luck to have a
trap built after the fashion Of Noah's
ark. and he runs the fish to earth and
saw it," :,
"Now, you may not believe this"

but it's so. A fisherman Of Fort

COTTON CROP CoNDITIoN.-The crop
reporting board of statistics Of the de-
partment of agriculture, in a bulletin
issued at noon last Friday finds from
the reports of the correspondents and
agents of the bureau that the average
condition of cotton on July 25 was S2.9,
as compared with 1873 on June 25. 1906;
74.9 on July 25, 1905: GIG at the cores
ponding date in 1904, and a ten-year
average of S2.4.
The following table shows the condi-
ton on July 25 of this year with the
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1906-08-07

GIVEN the facts, the average South
Carolinian can always be depended up
on to stand for fair play. Surely this
is not the reason why, when Senator
Tillman criticises the investigating
committee for failure to make Parker
tell who succeeded Boykin as Lana
hans agent he neglected to say that
Lyon and Christensen were with the
minority in this matter.

AS we see it. Jordan and the rest OF
them will do we'll to devote their atten-
ton to perfecting the organization Of
the Southern Cotton association. There
is nothing to be gained by hob-nobbing
with the European spinners or Wall
street spectators. If the cotton asso-
citation is to accomplish anything for
cotton growers it must be on busi-
ness, rather than a diplomatic basis.

ONE of the anecdotes told of General
Israel Putnam is tn the effect that
shortly after the Revolutionary war,
sued him on an account and
it was necessary for him to employ a
lawyer At the trial the lawyer got up
and denied the account. Old Put arose,
blazing with anger, and thus addressed
his lawyer: II have never given you
to understand that this was other than
an honest debt, and | did not employ
you to lie. | told you that all | wanted
was time, and | would pay it," He
got the time. Employed To boost the
dispensary cause and defend it through
thick and thin. the Columbia Record
some weeks ago made an appeal To the
lawyers of the state not to vote for Mr..
Lyon on the ground that the Abbeville
man has never had any practice of
any consequence, especially before the
supreme court, and that he is incOm-
petent To fill the position for which he
is running. Now comes the AbbeVille
bar, with probably a single exception,
but including men like VIM. n. Gray
don, M. P. DeBruhl, VIM. P. Greene, j.

WE beg leave to acknowledge the re-
ceipt of a tract on woman suffrage,
from Mrs. Virginia d. Young, editor of
the Fairfax Enterprise. THE ENoUI-
RER has been right on this question all
the while; but it has never been able
to see how it could bring a majority
of the dear women to its way of think
ing. That is all that is necessary to
insure success. The horrid men really
don't count.

CoNvIvIAL Columbians do not expe-
rience any inconvenience on account of
the dispensary law, as compared with
the so-called bar-room system. There
are plenty of places where men may
walk in and drink beer. without inter-
ference There are no mirrors; but the
beer privilege people furnish pretzels
and other accompaniments. Both Co
lumbia and Charleston are able to get
all the liquor they want. of whatever
kind, and all this talk about the old
bar-room days is buncombe. They are
here now the same as ever.

different listeners--one with the voice and

There IL another woman with q para
lyzed arm which without her knowledge
writes original verses and medical pre-
scriptions for the woman herself and when
the woman has an attack in the night re-
mains perfectly well and sane, pounds on
the bed and calls the nurse.
There is a certain Fremchman who after
being badly frightened by q snake split so
accurately into two halves that for years
he alternated between n state in which
he forgot long periods OF his life and
was paralyzed over one half of his body
and another state in which he remem-
bered the forgotten incidents and for
over he other half.
But Prof. Janet and his associates and
disciples do not content themselves with
seeking to explain these strange Affections.
In addition they try to cure them on the
supposition that they are dealing with two
persons. not one
Medical science In in short returning
to the old doctrine Of possession by devils.
Only instead Of casting out the devil the
modern physician fuses him tn with the
rest of the self where he belongs-and he
is a devil no more.
Take for example a victim Of dipsomania.
For months at a time he is q decent and
sober citizen. Then more or lees suddenly
his character alters fundamentally. He
becomes an irresponsible drunkard.
According to Prof. Janet, there are really
two men concerned. They nave the body
in common and a portion, at least, Of the
memories; although the sober individual is
often unable to remember the doings OF
the drunkard.
All their impulses, desires, habits are
unlike. The sober man often looks with
horror on the other. More or less periodi-
cally they take turns at the muscular steer
ing gear and control the body.
There is therefore little use in appeal
ing to number one, because the fault ia in
number two. But number two is either
drunk or shut up inside number one. Be-
sides, he is usually only a poor fragment Of
a man at best.
Prof. Janet's method, vaFiously modified,
enables the physician to get at the second
self while it is sober. Number two can be
made to tell all hat happened while he
was in control, even though number one
does not know. Furthermore, taken when
he is sober number two will do pretty much
as he is told.
With skill and care and tact he can be
once more combined with number one.
This done, dipsomania becomes an ordinary
thirst. When the reconstructed man feels
the periodic impulse to drink he no longer
changes to the irresponsible number two.
He remains number one, with the full sense
Of the importance OF remaining sober. He
tends then to remain sober like an ordinary
man.
Or take the case OF a kleptomaniac-a
woman who could buy ten times the value
of the things she steals. The person who
does the stealing is not the same person that
knows that she is able to buy or that under
stands the moral aspects Of her theft. When.
however, the split of secondary self is made
to understand the real situation the patient
ia cured.
