THE papers are publishing a re-
markable interview, credited to John
D. Rockefeller in which the Standard
Oil king prophesies that there are
hard times Immediately ahead for
wage earners generally and more par
ticularly those engaged in various
manufacturing industries. AS the old
financier sizes 1t up, the trouble is due
to the numerous and varied attacks
that have been made during the past
year on various kinds Of corporate
wealth. The country as a whole, he
says Is more prosperous than 1t has
ever been before; but because of legis-
lative onslaughts on different corpora
tions there has been most tremendous
shrinkage in values, shrinkage far
greater than is generally realized. The
debtor claim of the country Is only
just beginning to realize how hard 1t
has been hit, and when it finds exact
ly where it is, it sees the necessity of
retrenchment, which always falls first
and hardest on the wage earners in
the shape Of cuts in wages. There is
no doubt of the fact that Mr.. Rookie
feller is a master Of finance, and there
is no doubt that he knows much more
along this line than does the great
majority of his fellow citizens; but
still it must not be forgotten that the
old mans different big enterprises are
among those that have been hit the
hardest and it is quite possible that he
may be doing some talking that will
not prove out exactly that way.

installed and which will compel more
general use of the automatic system.
Experts for the commission have some
startling reports. They say the block
system rules are flagrantly violated In
order to do more business at the eX-
pense of safety; that overworked and
underpaid men are placed at the tow
ers to signal trains; that excessively
long hours for these men, discomforts
in their way of living while perform
ing their duties and the low quality OF
service that can be secured for the
wages paid combine to nullify the ben
efits that ought to be derived from
rigid enforcement Of the block system.
The ineffective enforcement of the
rules of the block system seems, ac-
cording to the statistics gathered by
the commission, to have increased
rather than diminished railroad acci-
dents. The safety appliance law was
enacted in 1898, but did not go into
full operation until 1900. According
to the commissions figures in 1885 one
passenger in every 2,9S4,000 carried In
the United States was killed, and one
in every 213,000 was injured. In 1904,
after the safety appliance had been In
full effect four years, one passenger
in every 1,622,000 carried in the Unit
ed States was killed, and one in $4,000
was injured.

The WILLIAMSON PLAN.

The Enquirer has published fire.
quently the formula for the William
son plan" or the way devised by Mr.,
E. McIver Williamson of Darlington
to make five ears Of corn grow where
but one grew before. The formula as
given heretofore has been little long.
The following has been prepared by
Mr.. James Henry Rice, Jr., for the
Columbia State, as the most concise
form in which it can be given:
Break land in winter one-fourth
deeper than common; lay off in six
foot rows, leaving five-inch balk. When
time to plant break out balk with
scooter. following in same furrow on
this ridge. Ridge then with same
plow. going deeper; run corn planter
with Dixie plow, with wing taken of.
Plant as ~ as possible, usually
about the middle of March. Drop corn
grains every five or six inches. Use
no fertilizer. Give first working with
harrow or any plow that will not COW
er plant Second working with 10 or
12-inch sweep on both sides Of plant.
Thin after this working.
Corn should not be worked again
until sufficiently stunted, so that 1t Will
never grow large. When it is about 10
to II inches high put on fertilizer. Mix
200 pounds cotton seed meal, 200
pounds acid phosphate, 400 pounds
kainit. Put half in old sweep furrow,
on both sides of every other middle.
Cover by breaking out middle with
turn plow. One week later treat the
other middle in the same way, fer
tiiZer and all. In a few days side

furrow, II less than $50 pounds is

REVISING THE LIST.

The work of revising our mailing
list of The Enquirer was completed
shortly after noon today and If we are
sending out any papers in the mails
this afternoon that ought not to go
it Is because Of oversight.
1t has been our effort to strike from
the lists every unexpired and unre-
turned subscription, and the work mas
been done with as much care as was
possible under the circumstances.
1t gives us pleasure to be able to
announce that the number OF names
returned is rather larger than 1t was
this same period last year. Last year
the first Of January list numbered
few more than 2,0O0 and this year 1T
included a few less than 2,10O names.
During the first week in January last
year about 375 names were cut OH, ana
today we have stricken off a few less
than that number. We start out
therefore with a gain Of pretty close
to one hundred names as compared
with last year.
AS we have remarked before, we
have been exceedingly careful IN the
revision of the list today, and used
our best efforts to strike off all the
names that should be stricken Off as
we'll as to retain all that should re-
main; but that some errors have nec-
essarily been made no one can ap-
preciate so we'll as those who have
this task in charge.
Sometimes the errors are the fault
Of the clubmaker and sometimes they
are our fault; but no matter whose
fault they are always very annoying
to US, more especially because they
are so annoying to those who may be
inconvenienced by them.
We have taken the precaution to-
day to print almost as many copies OF
the paper as were printed last issue.
This is in order to be able to supply
those subscribers, who thinking that
their names had been returned have
found that such is not the case.
We will appreciate prompt notice OF
anv errors that may have occurred in
connection with the revision of the
list, whether these errors consist IN
failure to send papers to people who
have renewed their subscriptions, or
continuing to send papers to people
who have failed to renew.

and more orderly than others, and this
that has been to Yorkville, there being
very little that Is open to reasonable
question.
The different shows have already
been enumerated. All Of them seem
to be very we'll patronized, and the
prevailing spirit among the visiting
crowds is one Of good natured fun.
The town people have been turn
ing out in large numbers every
night and there are lots Of people from
the surrounding country, many COM
ing a distance Of twelve or fifteen
miles.
A new attraction for this section is
the Katzenjammer Castle, the interior
Of which is made up of a series Of
winding corridors, in which the visi-
tors meet with various surprises that
one very much enjoys especially when
there are several in a party. The
moving picture shows are good, and
so is the "Old Plantation" and the
Oriental show, to people who like
things Of that kind and 1t appears that
many do.
: After the rounds of the shows the
crowds remain on the ground patron
izing the cane and knife racks. the
bird rattle, throwing confetti, riding
the Ferris wheel and having a lively
time generally.
Mr.. Wright, the manager is show
man Of long experience, who gives his
entire attention to the business, watch
ing every part Of the grounds almost
continuously to see that everything is
conducted in a proper and orderly
manner.
Mr.. Wright came in this morning af-
ter the foregoing had been put in type,
and requested an announcement to the
effect that the Carnival company had
arranged to remain over until Monday
night. And wish you would say
for me-" he urged, that the Oriental
show is all right. People who have
seen it say so. II Is the people who
have not been In who are under q
wrong impression"

from the holidays to be present at the
opening and beginning of DR.. Monatts
career as president. AS the faculty
came into the spacious chapel, the
walls roared" with the echoes OF the
boys hearty welcome. But the cheers
were not all for Moffatt. For every
veil that went up for him an equally
hearty one was given for the retiring
president The nine vigorous 'rahs"
with u. s." was always followed with
one ending in 'F. Y" After the cheer

by the faculty and students OF Erskine
during his term of office: He spoke
Of the friendly and pleasant relations
that have always existed, and of the
ties of love that have grown around
his heart for those with whom and
for whom he has labored. He declar-
ed that he could wish his successor
nothing better that that he might
share the same help and sympathy
that have been his while In Office. DR..
Moffatt followed DR.. Pressly's remarks
with a short talk. He first thanked
the faculty for their hearty welcome
which had not waited for him but had
gone to meet him before he left his
