Cotton and Live Stock.

News comes from the cotton lands
of far away Texas and Oklahoma OF
great prosperity. The cotton seed
oil mills are great aids to the cattle
business. The cotton seed hulls and
meal have fine markets, as feed for
beef cattle and the oil Is used by
packers to make lard. Formerly Tex
as cattle, fatted with hulls and meal
were shipped to Chicago. The oil
went there also to be refined or com
pounded with beef suet into lard
Now great stock yards and packing
establishments have been developed
at Fort Worth.
This correlation Of cotton seed and
cattle is a most interesting develop.
ment. The cattle are fed and fatteo
on cotton seed hulls and meal to make
beef, and the fat Of the beef Is usec
in turn to make cooking COMPOUND
of the cotton seed oil, and the tor-
mer freight paid to and from Chicago
and Kansas City is not only saveo
but the money paid out for wages to
do this manufacturing is paid in Tex
as instead Of being paid In Missouri Oh
Illinois. T..
II would seem as If the farmer In
these eastern cotton states might give
more attention to raising beef cattle
and other live stock, and by the use
of cotton seed products get better
values all round and MAINTAIN a.
home industries from which otnel
sections are now reaping harvest
Charlotte Observer.
Although the above suggestion does
not excite much interest at the pres
ent time. we feel quite sure that some
day the conditions spoken OF In Texas
will also be realized here In South
Carolina. Many farmers have given
more or less attention to cattle rails
ing: but it has usually been as a SIDE
issue rather than as a serious enter
prise Some of our men OF large
means have also given phases or the
business more or less attention; but
neither have they undertaken to gel
down to serious business. All exper'
iments of this kind, however, whether
successful or not have been OF more
or less value against the time wher
cattle raising and beef packing VII
become important businesses IN this
country. We are not prepared to say
that we believe that there is any big
profit in the business now: but wei dc
believe that the time will come when
its relative importance to other busi-
nesses and Industries will be as great
as in Fort Worth, st. Louis or Chi-
cago,

CIRCUIT COURT.

The jury in the case Of w. w. Au-
ten VS.. the Catawba Power company
came out last Friday afternoon at
about 8 o'clock, after several hours OF
deliberation with a verdict for the
plaintiff in the sum Of s2,650.
The last jury case. that Of the ne
gro Allen Parker VS.. the Carolina and
North Western railroad, resulted IN a
verdict for the defendant. Parker was
suing for $4,000 for injuries that he
claimed to have sustained while get
ting off the defendants train, the al
legged injuries being due to the alleged
negligence of the defendant
Judge Dantzler overruled a motion
for a new trial in the case of Auten
VS.. the Power company, and upon be-
ing asking to grant new trial nisi
that is unless the plaintiff would con-
sent to a reduction Of the verdict, took
the matter under advisement.

DUPLICATE CROSSES OF HONOR
Confederate Veterans Who Have Lost
Theirs May Obtain Others.

General Order No. 62.
l. The general commanding has eX-
treme satisfaction in announcing that
the United Daughters of the Confed-
eracy have taken steps to supply du-
plicate Crosses of Honor to those
veterans who have been so unfortu-
nate as to lose the originals. The old
men set so much store by these pre-
cious badges Of affection and honor
that have been bestowed by these no.
BILE women that they were quite heart
broken II the crosses were lost or bro
ken. The Daughters, with the same
nobility of action and affectionate re-
gard, which induced them to offer the
crosses in the first place have now
perfected arrangements by which the
men may obtain duplicates. Full par
ticulars as to the course to take to
get a new cross can be had Of the
nearest chapter of the U. D. G.. The
general commanding cannot find words
to express for himself personally and
for his beloved comrades the sense Of
appreciation felt by all at this action,
which is but a fresh evidence Of the
love and consideration which the wo-
men of the south have ever mani
tested.
2. If the press of the south will give
wide publicity to this order, they
will add another to their many former
acts of kindness. as well as confer
pleasure on many sad old Confederate
soldiers.

THE establishment Of Juvenile re-
formatories in various states has
generally been followed by indirect
benefits that are as great as the d.
rect benefits. The feeling against con-
fining youthful offenders against the
laws with hardened criminals is uni
versal 1t follows as an easy matter,
Of course, that in ninety-nine cases
out Of a hundred where young man
or an old man deserves punishment
and escapes, he becomes worse than
before This is not a matter OF theo-
ry; but "a fact that has been estab-
lished throughout all ages and taught
in almost every book Of Holy Writ
from Genesis to Revelations. The
surest guarantee of good man or
woman is proper home training and
this the great majority Of the children
Of the land get. But large minority
fail in it. Where parents fail to do
their duty by their children, the chill
dren are never brought to realize that
they owe any duty to their parents,
and children who do not realize duty
to parents, realize less duty to
the public. The boy or girl who
goes estray from his parents becomes
menace to the community, and can
only be kept in check by harsh meas
ures. He needs to be coerced, directed
intelligently and made to do. This
can be done best in a reformatory.
The existence Of a reformatory would
have a wholesome effect on negligent
parents as we'll as their children.
Such parents would be forced to be
more careful in order to keep their
children out of the reformatory, and
the children would be more careful for
fear Of being sent there. OF course,
it is not to be understood that a re-
formatory such as is desired in this
state is to be place Of punishment.
The idea Is to be correction, discl-
pline and improvement rather than
punishment But no matter how this
may be, the reformatory will always be
looked upon principally as q place of
punishment and for that reason 1t
will be dreaded by both parents and
children. Juvenile offenders on the
verge of ruin, sent to the reformato-
ries more often than otherwise come
out useful men and women, and the
establishment of such an institution in
South Carolina would be worth far
more to the state than 1t is ever like
ly to cost, either by reason Of the orig
inal outlay or subsequent main
tenance.

Captain Crawford.
tenance.

The death of Captain Edward A
Crawford closes the record Of a long
life of useful endeavor in the promo
ton Of the happiness, welfare and Sc
curity of the people among whom he
lived.
Those who knew Captain Crawford
best are agreed that in nobility Of
character, broad liberality, and sincere
desire to be Of use in the world, he
occupied high place among his fell
lows. Those traits were developed in
early life, and they stood out promi-
nently to the end.
AS young man going forth to fight
his country's battles, his comrades
were not slow to pick him out as a
worthy leader and the correctness Of
their Judgment was fully justified in
the four trying years in which he
served them as their captain. His ca
reer as soldier was characterized
throughout by faithfulness to those
under his orders, patriotic courage of
the highest quality and answering
loyalty to duty, whether in camp or in
line of battle.
But ii was not in war alone that
Captain Crawford did his duty. Re-
turning home to a peace that was
worse than war; he continued to strive
as best he could always for the ad-
vancement of his fellows, and the con-
fidence he won in early manhood knew
no weakening even amid the gather
ing shadows Of old age.
Captain Crawford was always kind
and genial. loyal to his friends and
generous to his enemies. There was
no place in his makeup for spite or
malice, and he was disposed to be pa
tient and forgiving even while he had
reason to believe he was suffering
from injustice. But If he yielded to
bitterness at all, it was soon forgot
ten.
One of the best evidences of the
esteem in which Captain Crawford was
held among his fellows was the
strength he always developed as a
candidate for political office. Though
without extensive means after the

CAPTAIN {. A. CRAWFORD.

Captain Edward A. Crawford died
at his home in Yorkville last Sunday
morning at 20 minutes to IL o'clock,
after a long and tedious confinement,
with complications growing out OF
troubles with his heart.
Captain Crawford was born in
Chester county in 1880; but has been
a citizen of York county during the
greater part Of his life, especially since
the war, and during that time has been
closely identified with all that has
concerned, especially the civic devel-
opment of this immediate section.
On the breaking out of the war OF
secession, he went to the front as a
sergeant in what was known as the
Lacy guards, and upon the re-organ-
ization Of the state troops was elect
ed captain Of company X, Seventeenth
regiment. He. commanded this COM
pany for four years, participating in
many hard fought battles in Virginia
and the west. He went into the sec
ond battle Of Manassas with thirty
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1907-04-30

FIVE men and came out with only
twenty, fifteen having been killed or
wounded. He was in the seven days
fighting around Richmond, a fierce
fight on the Rappahannock, South
Mountain, Boonsborough, Sharpsburg,
Clay's Farm and Petersburg. He was
wounded twice at the "blowup," once
in the temple by flying missile, and
the second time in the thigh by bull
let; but neither wound was serious
and he did not leave the field. He
surrendered at Appamattox.
He figured prominently in the race
and political troubles after the war and
was a tower Of strength to his neigh
bors and friends in the work Of hold
ing misguided and insolent negroes in
check He early became connected
with the Ku Klux organization, and
because Of his activity along that line
was an especially marked man after
the arrival Of the soldiers. To avoid
arrest he left the county and went to
west Tennessee, where he remained
about four years, until the situation
quieted down.
In the first election held under the
constitution of 1858 he was candi-
date for sheriff Of York county along
with several other popular citizens;
but missed election by about twenty
votes, the late r. H. Glenn being his
f,,l "a
tirement Of Sheriff Glenn some sixteen
years afterward, in 1881, he tried for
the office again and was elected by a
big majority. He held the position for
eight years, during which time he dis
charged his duties In an efficient and
satisfactory manner. After his retire.
ment from the office Of sheriff he serv-
ed as county commissioner one term;
but for several years past his health
has been too poor to admit of very ac-
tive participation in either public or
private life.
Captain Crawford was married three
times, and leaves one child as the re-
suit of each marriage. E. A. Craw-

There were numerous floral tributes
consisting of bouquets, wreathes,

home and from a distance, and after
these had been placed in position the

CHINESE FAMINE SUFFERERS.
President Kaufman Explains How
Easily They May Be Helped.


Editor Of The Yorkville Enquirer:
A correspondent has written me or
the important subject Of raising money
for the famine wrecked multitude ir
China He says:
Apart from the philanthropic and
religious view Of the subject there Is
a commercial aspect of the case. There
Is already very valuable business
connection between South Carolina
and China. A feeling Of prejudice
against trading with the United States
is being nursed by turbulent spirits
in that land But this prejudice has
been largely abated by the generous
contributions which have been sent
from America for the relief OF their
countless countrymen, now dying
from hunger.
But the Chinese are watching with
the most anxious solicitude through
their keen little eyes, to see who will
help them in their sorrowful plight,
between this period and the arrival
of the flour laden army transport Bu-
ford and their ripening crop In June"
Another correspondent writes: THE
work Of the Rev. DR.. Thomas In his
heroic struggle to collect money tor
the famishing Chinese Is becoming
contagious. Other churches, which
have not yet realized the magnitude
Of the disaster in China, are having
their eyes opened and that Is all that
Is necessary, for We are sympathetic
people. What the Baptists Of the
state have done in this direction, as
reported in the Baptist Courier, Is the
leaven which seems likely to leaven
the whole lump. 1 know Of a prac-
tical illustration Of It,"
In this connection let me mention a
matter Of consequence to contributors,
who have not as yet given any con-
sideration to the subject, which will
save them both expense and time in
the remittance Of their gifts.
To those whose minds are in doubt,
as to the manner in which money can
best be hastened to China for the suf-
ferers. I can confidently assure such
that the Red Cross is now the recog-
nized medium, being a government in
stitution, and that it is now used by
all familiar with its facilities for the
prompt forwarding Of funds either to

war, especially in later years. and
nothing upon which to base his claims
for votes except his record as man
and his character, people worked and
voted for him with enthusiasm that
has grown rare in this day Of self
seeking politics.
There was much that was good In
the life of Captain Crawford and the
people with whom he has been asso-
ciated have been made the better by
reason of such association.
