Senator Warren's reelection at the
hands Of the Wyoming legislature the
other day was an easier victory than
some of his friends in Washington had
been led to believe by various reports
connecting his name with irregular land
transactions in the West. These charges
appear to have had no effect whatever
upon his home people, as he received all
but six votes in the legislature at Chey-
enne. He had been unanimously in
dOrsed for reelection by the Republican
State convention, and the legislative
ticket throughout the State was elected

he has never been ut Cheyenne when the

has never had to solicit a vote or make a
single promise Of any kind to get one.

House I'm the senate.


The Senate was the magnet that at
tracted House members by the score to
the north end of the Capitol yesterday,
and very little interest was manifested
by them i'm the proceedings of their own
body. The conference report on the sal
ary-increase bill was reported by Mr.
Cullom soon after the Senate met. and
House members began 10 crowd into the
chamber. Conspicuous among them was
the Hon. John Wesley Gaines who has
fought openly and courageously for the
proposed raise of salary. The fact that
both Senators from his State were op-
posed to the proposition did not deter the
Tennesseean in the least. He is con-
WINGED that with a 80 per cent increase
in the salary of Congressman a greater
number of men genuinely devoted TO the
public interests will be attracted 10 both
branches Of Congress. with the result that
better legislation will be enacted
Mr. Gaines protraCted visit to the Sen
ate yesterday gave rise to some criticisms
OF his contention that members who alb
sent themselves from the House without
first obtaining permission TO do so should
be fined a full days salary II is not
known whether the Tennesseean secured
leave Of absence from the Speaker, and Il
is suggested that some inquiry on this
score may be instituted to-day.

There will be no issue Of The En-
quirer on December q. The next issue
after that Of December "a, will be that
Of December 81.
There 10 still no satisfactory expla-
nation as to the disappearance Of Fire
man Albert Ferguson from the Sea-
board Air Line engine near Broad Riv-
er trestle recently. Friends and rela-
tives are distressed and the railroad
people are very much mystified.
From the way we got the informa-
tion we do not feel warranted in men
tioning any names; but we know OF
one York county cotton mill that right
now has cash surplus Of nearly thir-
ty thousand dollars, and which has not
the slightest idea Of shutting down, ex-
except on Sundays.
Because of the hard times north,
there Is an unusual migration OF
tramps southwark this winter. The
tramps are coming this way by the
thousand. These vagrants are gener-
ally no good, of course, and more often
than otherwise they are on the lookout
for whatever they can steal. Among
them are men who will not hesitate at
any crime whatever. Every oommu-
nifty should have some adequate means
Of protection against people OF this
kind.
We have noted q few expressions Of
dissatisfaction at the appointments
made by Bishop Morrison at Gaffney;
but about the strongest is that repub-
lished in another column from the Co
lumbia State. With so many changes
throughout the state, 1t Is quite natur-
al that there should be many dissatis-
fed people, In some cases 1t Is the
preachers who are dissatisfied and In
other cases II is the people. It Is the
custom of the good Methodist, however,
to school himself or herself to be
pleased with whatever comes, and
however he or she may feel, it Is the
rule to make no outward show OF dis
satisfaction. So far as we have been
able to learn, the people Of this section
are simply delighted with the manner
in which Bishop Morrison has handed
out his appointments. They think that
Rev. r. e. Staokhouse, the presiding
elder OF the Rock Hill district, Is the
right man in the right place, and the
fact that he was retained In his posi-
tiop is taken as evidence that the
bishop knew what he was doing. The
changes in the bishops cabinet are al
so very generally approved and alto
gether 1t is fair to say that the Meth
odists Of these parts are In better spir-
its than they have been for some time.

THE CIRCUIT COURT.

When the last issue Of The Enquirer
went to press the court was engaged
on the case Of the State against Alex
ander Bailey, charged with assault
with intent to ravish. The jury took
the papers in the case at about
o'clock Tuesday afternoon and after
remaining out about one hour, return
ed with verdict Of not guilty,
The next case taken up was that of
Frazier Anderson, white, charged with
the murder of Tit Jones, oolored, in
Rock Hill on the Sd OF August last.
The defendant is foreman at W. N.
Ashes brick works and also paymas-
ter. Only one witness was examined
in the case, negro. He made a state
ment to the effect that because of too
much confusion in the room where the
hands were being paid off, Mr.. Ander-
son ordered them all to go outside.
Jones was very much incensed at this
and after doing some swearing on the
outside because he was unwilling to
ALLOW the white folks to cheat him
out Of his money" advanced on Mr..
Anderson with an open knife. Mr.. An
flerson warned him to stop where he
was. Jones continued to advance and
Mr.. Anderson fired. The negro fell and
expired shortly afterward. The defense
did not cross examine the witness: but
proposed to submit the case without
argument The State agreed. The
court charged the jury the law as to
murder, manslaughter, ETC., and after
remaining out a few minutes the jury
returned with a verdict Of mot guilty"
1t was a plain case Of justifabe homi-
eide, devoid Of any circumstance that
was calculated to confuse the issue.
Waits Larmon, the white man who
was convicted last week Of assault and
battery with intent to kill, was SEN
fenced on Wednesday. Larmon, 1t will
be remembered ambushed an old ne
gro, his son and daughter and peppered
them with shot. Judge Wilson gave
the defendant a scathing lecture as
to the cowardiness Of his crime; but
on account of the mans wife and chill
dren made the sentence light, giving
him the choice between two years in
the penitentiary or on the chaingang
or fine of $500. The fine vas paid
and the prisoner was at once dis
charged.

He Saved the Situation.

During the late panic" so-called,
the farmer has been the one man who
was not stampeded. When the conf
dence Of business men was shaky, when
they sacrificed their securities and
money was tight everywhere. the far-
mer serenely held his cotton. He is
holding it now. A sufficient number OF
bales were sold to enable southern
banks and business to move along
without serious inconvenience, but the
independence of the farmer during the
emergency has been what the business
Of the south has leaned upon. When
the price Of cotton went to ten cents,
the farmers held the more firmly. Had
they lost faith as did financiers in the
great centres in their securities, and
unloaded their cotton, the market
would have gone to smash, prices
dropping to seven or eight cents. That
the price has been maintained In an
emergency when alarm among all 9TH
er branches Of trade and industry was
the feature Of the situation Is a re-
markable demonstration Of the south
ern farmers sturdy character and sub
stantial strength.
The foregoing credited to an Or
angeburg business man and the sub
tect Of an able editorial in The News
and Courier of yesterday, is the most
level headed comprehension Of the
crisis through which the country Is
passing that has come to our notice.
Whatever may have been the cause
of the currency strike" whether over
speculation. whether a slap back at
the administration, whether a counter
attack on the holding movement, or
whether only a coincidence, there Is
no question of its tremendous effect on
business interests Of every kind. and
that the country has had a narrow es-
cape from widespread disaster.
We do not think that anybody will
question the proposition that If there
had been a break in the holding move
ment when the situation was at It's
worst, prices would have gone tumb-
ling. II almost makes one shiver TO
consider II. With currency command
ing a premium of per cent and the
banks not only of New York, but of
the entire country shaky because or
general runs, II there had been stam-
pede among the farmers, it would have
hardly been stopped until cotton had
actually become drug on the market
AS it is. business has only suffered
partial paralysis. Merchants have not
been able to sell their stocks as rapid
ly as they hoped and creditors have
had to wait for their money. This has
been a matter of much inconvenience
to both. Many have chafed under the
situation, as has been most natural.
Some perhaps, have INDUCED in impa-
tient criticism, and even this Is excus-

made a commendable record in his
brief pastorate here. 1t usually re-
uuires about a year to get we'll into

preachers in the conference. Mr. Bays
has no family except Mrs. Bays, who

when it was learned that Bishop Nor
rison had overlooked Rev. B. r. Tur-
nipseed and had left him here. Not
only at Green Street church but
throughout the city is Mr.. Turnipseed
a favorite. Rev. A. n. Brunson, an
other preacher who is very much ad-
mired for his manliness and his good
work, has been returned to Main Street
church.

to the News and Courier: There Is

The cotton mills and Dunbar Bros, VINO
ore buying for an export firm. Dun,
bar Bros, entered the cotton marke,
several days ago. Since then there has
been a big advance in the price Of To-
cal cotton. The high water mark was
reached today, when cotton jumped tc
II. zoe before noon. Much cotton was
brought to the city and the streets
crowded with wagons loaded with cot
ton, presented a lively scene. The
buyers for the cotton mills were very
active the entire day. Dunbar Bros.
bought the majority Of the staple OFFER
ed here. Much of the cotton is being
shipped to New York.

the clearinghouse association will IN q

certificates issued recently, the ones
which have been mutilated In one way
and another. The life Of the certi.

be called in within that time, Is until
March /, next. However, the job OF
printing was very poor and the certi-
ficates are beginning to show wear al
ready There are two or three prln-
teries in Columbia who could have CIV
en- a better job of printing, but 1t was
deemed necessary to send the work to
an out of the state establishment fol
purposes of further protection. The
Atlanta house which did the printing
charged $500 for the job and at that
used a quality Of paper which would
have been costly at the very lowest
prices. 1t has not been decided wheth-
er to issue duplicate certificates In
place of the ones which are wearing
out or merely to cancel and redeem
with currency.
