WITHIN THE TOWN.

Easter was celebrated at the
Church of the Good Shepherd and at
Trinity church last Sunday with ap-
propriate services. Both churches
were prettily decorated for the occa-
sion.
- The bread and cake sale held at
Mr. W. NJ. Kennedy's last Saturday
under the auspices of the ladies Of the
Associate Reformed church, netted
$40. The ladies sold out everything
they had in a remarkably short time.
Yesterday was rather quiet for
April salesday. There were a number
of people in from the country as usu-
al, and a pretty good representation of
horse traders: but hardly so many as
in March The day passed off without
special incident
There was lots of spring millinery
sold previous to Easter. All the local
millinery people. were rushed with or

nearly all of Saturday night to have
the hats ready for Sunday. The hats
were ready all right in most cases; but
they did not appear on Sunday. Rain.

term Of the circuit court for York
county.
There was ice this morning; but the
evidence seems to be confused as to
whether there was frost. Some people
have reported frost as a matter Of
course, and others say there was too
much wind.
II is some remarkably curious freaks
that the weather has been developing
all this year, and the trick Of the past
few days is in keeping with what has
gone before. The highest temperature
for March was 81 degrees on the 23d
and again on the .2Sth. The lowest
temperature was 81 on the 7th. The
minimum temperature last Friday was
81, and on Saturday night 1t was So.
People were calling for iced drinks
and remarking how frost would have
to hurry to be on hand in time for
Easter. But by Sunday morning the
mercury was down to 40, and yester-
day it was down to 80. There has
been no frost yet; but 1t Is hardly to
be denied that the fruit has been badly
SCARED.

A COMMITTEE representing the 1lli-

on the president few days ago and
urged him to address a convention Of
representatives Of the manufacturing
and merchantile interests Of Illinois
and the middle west at the earliest
possible date. The committee repre-
sented to the president the pressing
need that he express in a public ad-
dress as soon as possible the keynote
Of his creative and constructive pol
Icy. That the railroad financial situa-
ton Is creating a feeling Of timidity
and apprehension to such an extent
that the curtailment Of banking and
business credit is threatened at time
when there is greatest prosperity and
when manufacturers are under heavy
obligations for raw materials and
needed stock The president inquired
carefully into the conditions and said
he would do all in his power to protect
and encourage legitimate business in
terests Of all kinds.

THE most gigantic railroad strike in
history is about to begin on western
railroads entering Chicago. and 1t Is
probable that the managers Of the s5,-
900 miles Of trackage involved will
probably appeal to the United States
government for arbitration under the
Erdman act in order to prevent the
paralyzing of the entire railroad bus
mess of the west. When the mana
gers of the various railroads interest
ed suggested arbitration to the en-
ployees last week, the employees fatty
refused to consider the idea for mo-
ment. The contest is between the Or
der Of Railway Conductors and the
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen on
the one side and the railroads on the
other. The employees demand raise
in wages of twelve per cent and the
railroads offer ten and a half. The
number of men involved Is $4,000: the
number of roads affected is fortE-two,
and the annual payroll Of the rail-
roads is $S2O,0OO.OOO. The defence fund
of the two employees organization is
$1,000.000. The total membership Of
the two railway orders is $4,000.

THERE is promise Of a battle royal
between the two factions Of the Re-
publican party in Ohio, led by Sena-
tor Foraker on one side and the parti-
sans OF President Roosevelt on the
other. The fight is to centre around
the senatorial nomination, the contes-
tants for which will be Senator For
aker and Secretary Taft. Foraker has
challenged Taft to submit 1t to pri-
mary and Taft has agreed. 1t is un-
derstood also that the winner Is to
have the. endorsement Of the Ohio Re-
publicans for the presidential nomina-
ton. President Roosevelt is to do all
he can for Taft, and Foraker, Of course,
will look out for himself. The un-
derstanding is that II Taft Is defeated
for the senatorship he will be appoint
ed associate justice of the supreme
court If Foraker loses, he is down
and out. There are those, though,
who think that If Foraker gets the
senatorial nomination, Mr.. Roosevelt
will continue to oppose him for the
presidential endorsement

Fire at Newberry last Friday de-
stroyed % residences, 10 stores, and
two churches, entailing loss estimat-
ed at between $150,000 to 100000,
with insurance Of about $4,000. The
range Of the fire was from Adams
street to Calhoun, east and west, and
from Friend to Main or Platt streets,
north and south on one side, and
about one block on the ether side Of
Main street. Most of the burned
buildings were negro shacks and In
their places will rise modern build

B. Humbert, a widow Of former
Methodist minister, which was never
touched although the heat from the
flames scorched the house several
times It is related that Mrs. Hum
bert during the entire time Of the con-
fiagration prayed that her home might
be spared and the way that her pray
er was answered is the subject Of dis
cussion. tonight. Policeman T. g
Williams rescued two old ladies who
had been almost overcome by heat.
The officer himself had a narrow es-
cape by falling debris. A check In
the water supply for 10 or Is minutes
caused much alarm, but the defect was
soon remedied. The fire originated
in the mammoth three story wooden
building occupied by r. C.. Williams,
dealer in wagons and buggies. A new
and handsome two-story brick build
ing owned by R. C. Williams and oc-
cupied by Shelley & Summer, furni-
ture. dealers, was in the path Of the
fire and from there the conflagration
spread. Among the most prominent
buildings destroyed were the residences
of o. L. Schumpert and Henry Kinard,
two Of the handsomest in the city,
also the Presbyterian parsonage, oc-
cupied by Rev. ]. L. Williamson. The
large residence Of James F. Todd was
also destroyed together with E. H.
Leslie's residence, both on the same
block. Aveleigh Presbyterian church,
q handsome wooden building Is a
total loss as is the old Associate Re-
formed Presbyterian church, which
would have been torn down shortly
to be replaced by a handsomer one
The majority Of buildings are either

of which would have been torn down
in the near future to be replaced by
more stable ones.

Friday, The Thirteenth,

THE ENQUIRER has arranged to
commence, at an early date, the repro
duction Of Thomas w. Lawson's now
famous story, Friday, The Thirteenth.
This story first appeared as a mag
azine serial and within the past few
weeks it has been published in book
form. 1t is copyrighted, however,
and we have had to pay quite literally
for the privilege Of reproducing it.
Friday, The Thirteenth is a story
Of wonderful power, centering the in
terest Of the reader in a thrilling love
romance on the one hand and in that
terrible strife known as dollar mad
ness on the other
The object Of the story is to ac-
quaint the great masses Of the people
Of the country with the real inward
ness and meaning Of the stock ex-
changes. which Mr. Lawson most WV
idly holds up the world as nothing
but the fiercest of gambling in legal
lied form.
The story is so written as to in
struct the average layman in all the
secrets Of the exchanges; but there is
nothing tedious about it. People who
have no interest in the practical infor-
nation impaired, will not lose any
pleasure on that account. There is
plenty of love and battle to hold at
tention from beginning to end.
The story, as we have remarked.
will begin at an early day, and we de-
sire now to warn those who anticipate
reading it in borrowed papers to
change their. minds and subscribe. The
people who are already subscribers are
going to be intensely interested In
this story and they are not going to
appreciate being bothered by borrow

THE parents and guardians Of the
thirteen cadets who were recently ex-
PEELED from the Citadel are preparing
to raise a big row. From published
reports it appears that Messrs. j. F.
Richardson and G. H. Mahon Of
Greenville. fathers Of two Of the boys,
called upon Col. Coward last Friday to
see If they could not secure the with
drawal Of the charges against their
sons as to having made false state
ogy. Col Coward is reported to have
informed his callers that the report Of
the board Of inquiry had been received
and adopted and that the matter was
settled so far as the Citadel was con-
cerned Messrs. Richardson and Ma
hon then asked for copy Of the tes-
timony adduced at the court of inqui-
ry, and on Saturday the matter was
laid before a general meeting Of the
parents interested. At this meeting
the situation was discussed in it's va
rious details: but no definite action
was taken. An adjournment was TAX
en- until tomorrow. Col. Gadsden,
chairman of the board Of visitors was
approached. He stated that the board
does not hold a regular meeting until
June and declined to call a special
meeting. He declined to give any en-
couragement that the board would
think of overruling the faculty in the
matter. The Charlotte Observer of
this morning reports that Mr.. F. D.
Alexander of Charlotte. has just re-
turned from Charleston, where he has
been to look after the interests Of
brother who was one of the expelled
boys. Mr. Alexander is represented as
being very indignant over the matter
and is quoted as saying that there will
certainly be something doing after the
conference in Columbia tomorrow.
Col Coward has long had the reputa-
ton of being very strict discipline
rian, and those who know him best
feel that under no circumstances will
he do other than that which he be-
lieves TO be right. On one occasion,
while conducting his private school in
Yorkville, he expelled about one-fourth
Of his cadets for breaking barracks,

have been 100, 10000 acres taken up
in homesteading. Where has the re-
mainder of the public lands gone? To
railways, lumber companies, cattle
companies and spectators, and large
portions have been allotted to the
states. 1t is generally admitted that
If the depredations upon the public
lands had not been checked in 1908
by Ethan Allen Hitchcock, backed by
a courageous president, the end of the
present administration would have
seen the nation despoiled of all of its
remaining agricultural lands that are
susceptible Of irrigation and OF its
richest remaining treasures In the
forest and in the mines.
