YORK COUNTY PERSONALLY.

The best place to get an accurate
idea of the growth and development OF
York county as a whole from year to
year Is in the office Of the county au-
ditor. The annual returns Of property
for taxation furnish, If not an abso-
lutely exact summary Of present con-
ditions, at least a reasonably accur-
ate conception of conditions one year
as compared with another. In times
of prosperity all values real and per-
sonal show increases from year to
year. In times of stress there are
evidences of shrinkage. These in
creases and shrinkages are frequently
more apparent than real; but they are
at all times a very good index to ma
terial conditions. AS showing the ma
terial condition of York county on
January /, 1907 as compared with that
condition on January l, 1906, The En-
quirer has culled from the auditors
abstracts of personally, the following
statistics:

THE SPECULATIVE MARKET.

A New York dispatch of last night
gives the course of the speculative
market during the day as follows:
The cotton market was firm and
higher on reports of frost in the belt
with the close steady at a net ad-
vance of IA to q points. Sales for the
day were estimated at 250,000 bales.
The market opened firm at an ad-
vance of IA to IS points and right ar
ter the call, December sold % points
net higher on covering of shorts and
buying for account which was encour-
aged by the higher Liverpool cables
and reports Of light and heavy frosts
more or less generally over eastern
and central sections of the belt. Pr-
yate wires received early were rather
reassuring, most of them claiming that
temperatures had not fallen to the
freezing point and the market react
ed about or 10 points from the top
during the middle Of the forenoon un-
der realizing and bear pressure. De-
cember continued relatively firm, fresh
sellers avoiding that position. and later
the whole list firmed up on addltlonal
frost reports and predictions for frost
again tonight In eastern sections. The
close was a little off from the best un-
der realizing and rumors that there
had been a cut in the prices Of cotton
goods. Southern spot markets as OFF,
cially reported were unchanged to l-Sc
higher. oo
Receipts at the ports today $4,000
bales, against 44.750 last week and
6S,6O1 last year. For the week 29O,OOO
bales, against 239,771 last week and
37O,477 last year. Todays receipts at
New Orleans 5,115 bales against 13,6O7
last wear.

The accident occurred on Mr.. John
Brandon's place about hree-and-a-
half miles west of McConnellsville.
Mr.. Burris was assisting with the work
of cutting peavines and when he at
tempted to whip up tagging mule,
his leg was cut as the result or a
sudden lurch made by the animals.
The cut though severe was not OF a
nature to leave permanent injuries.
Ne leaders were cut. Mr.. Burris was
sent to the hospital at Chester, and
information from him this morning
was to the effect that he is getting
along very nicely.

Williamson Plan Corn.
Mr. Lytle Woods, who lives about
six miles northeast OF Yorkville, has
had a remarkably satisfactory expe-
rience with Williamson plan corn. He
planted three acres and followed di-
rections to the letter, "stunting" to
turn that seemed the right thing. 1t
Is said that when the stunting pro-
cess was about completed, 1t looked as
II the best thing that could be done
for the corn was to plow 1t up. This,
Mr.. Woods was himself tempted to do;
but he gamely went on with the Will
hanson directions, plowing and fertil-
iZing and now people who are familiar
with the situation think the corn
should make fifty bushels to the acre.
II may not make so much; but there
seems to be no doubt that the yield
will be greater than 1t ever was before.

Indirect information from Mr.. ]. f.

en- to Chester last Friday for the pur-
pose of having his leg removed, is to
the effect that the operation was not
performed as expected. The surgeons
decided that the progress Of the gan

moval of the toe in which 1t made It's
appearance, and the toe was removed.
The understanding, however. is that
Mr.. Leech's condition continues unsat-

THEY are trying to get Governor
Ansel to be a candidate for the United
States senate to succeed Mr.. Latimer
We hope, however, that the governor
will not yield to fiattery or persuasion
along this line He is needed right
where he is. 1t would be misfor-
tune to the state If he should not
serve the full two terms allowed by
tradition and usage, and If he does
serve the full two terms, we are in
clined to think the people will then
be ready to send him to the United
States senate or wherever else he may
desire to go.

According to the figures of the audi
tor there are 257 less dogs in York
county this year than last year. Won
der If this difference is really noticea-
BILE anywhere else than on the books
of the auditor?
A number of farmers Of the McCon-
nellsville country have tried the Will
hanson plan with very great success
this year. There are several. especial
ly good farmers Immediately around
McConnellsville, who knew how to
make corn according to methods OF
their own: but who have found in the
Williamson plan a very considerable
improvement.
As was stated beforehand, the recent
election for trustees Of the Yorkvilie
Graded school was altogether irregu-
lar. There can be no objection, or
course, to the gentlemen who were
elected They are in every respect the
equals of those who failed Of election.
But that is not the point. To COM
mand the confidence and united sup
port of the community. this school
must be conducted not only on a basis
of just efficiency; but strictly in ac-
cordance with the law. 1t must be the
school of the community. not of
faction.
The fact that the cotton receipts in
the Yorkvlle market are about 73O less
from September l to October IA as
compared with the same period last
year, may be variously interpreted.
For one thing it may mean that the
crop is later and Is not reaching the
market so rapidly on that account.
For another thing, it may mean that
the holding movement has figured to
about the difference stated. We are
inclined to think that this last sugges-
ton comes nearer the true situation.
Included in the receipts this year,
there is quite a quantity Of cotton that
was bought last summer for future de-
livery, and the probability Is that eX-
cept for this cotton, the receipts would
have been very much lighter than 9TH
erwise. Although there will no doubt
be a pretty steady stream Of cotton
going to market during the balance of
this month and next month. almost re-
gardless of prevailing prices. there Is
no reasonable doubt of the fact that
the holding sentiment throughout the
county is quite strong.

FOR more than a week past the
whole country has been on the tiptoe
of expectation listening for news
from Stamboul Miss. to the effect
that President Roosevelt had killed a
bear: but up to this time no such
news has been forthcoming. The pres
ident and party beat about Bear Lake
nearly all of last week without getting
glimpse Of anything that looked like
a bear. and on Saturday it was decided
to move camp; but at the last minute
beaters brought information to the eff
feet that tracks of big bear had been
located a few miles away, and it was
decided to investigate the matter fur
ther. The people of the entire country
side are very much interested in the
hunt and if the president fails to get
at least one bear, there will be much
disappointment.

IT has been given out that Cover
nor Ansel proposes to recommend an
increase of the salary of the governor
to $4,000 a year. This is a matter
that should have been attended to
some years ago. 1t is very generally
appreciated that the present salary of
the governor is totally inadequate to
the maintenance of the dignity of the
position and that every incumbent of
the office for years past has had to
draw on his private resources I'm order
to measure up to ordinary social de-
mands of his position. 1t is doubtful
as to whether $4,000 a year will be
sufficient for the maintenance of the
office with dignity; but if Governor
Ansel. who is in a position to know
does not see proper to ask for any
more, the general assembly should
certainly not think of making the
amount any less.

FROST.

People have been reporting frost for
several days past. and whether they
have been correct in previous reports
there Is no doubt of the fact that there
was frost this morning. when the tenn
perature was the lowest reached thus
far this season. The record Of the
past week up to today, including this
morning only, as kindly furnished by
Mr.. ]. r. Schorb, voluntary observer
was as follows:
Tuesday 8, Min. 50, Max. II.
Wednesday 8. Min. A. Max. Sc.
Thursday 10. Min. so, Max. 63.
Friday II. Min so, Max 64.
Saturday 12, Min. 40. Max. go.
Sunday 13. Min. Al. Max. So.
Monday IA. Min. 80, Max. 81.
Tuesday Is, Min. 3S, Max. -.
Under especially favorable condi-
tions. still and cloudy-frost forms at
40 degrees: but where the atmosphere
is clear and no wind stirring, frost is
less likely.
If there was any frost Sunday
morning it was probably in low places.
1t was more general yesterday morn
ing. and this morning was quite plen-
tiful.
The frost of this morning was not
calculated to injure vegetation.
The first light frost of last year was
on Wednesday the 10th at AZ degrees.
The killing frost came Thursday morn
ing, the 18th at temperature OF 32
degrees.

WE do not feel fully qualified to
analyze the whole meaning of the
