CHAPTER XI.

Visitors were rare at the Castle of
hate years, for Sir Launce lived life OF
almost total seclusion, and the sound OF
carriage wheels brought Daniel to the
door with a somewhat quicker movement
than was usual to him. The gentleman
-aliehted. and dismissed the driver of the
.chaise; and, giving Daniel his card, re-
.ouested him to convey it Immediately to
Sir Launce. On the card was printed,
-'Mr. James Wylie."
Mr.. Wylie had left Paddington by an
early train that morning, and. upon ar
irving at the station nearest to PENN
byddyn, had hired a chaise and driven
over to the Castle. He had two motives
In making this journey. In the first
,nlSfe. he had a certain game to play
with Sir Launce. And, in the second
Mace. he was DESTROYS of seeing Penn
bvddyn, of accommodating the country,
s,non the chance of falling upon informa-
~tion that might assist his schemes.
The first of these games was the most
difficult, and the most important of all to
play for; upon that greatly depended the
success of the second, and the perfect
qualification of the last The first object
10 be attained was to so far gain upon
Sir Launce's good will as to become an
Inmate of the Castle for a day or two.
In this latter respect, Mr.. Wylie over
rated his difficulties; the duties of hos
tnitality were punctually discharged be-
meath that roof and it was not at all
necessary to the reception of a visitor
ar its owner should care for his so
ciety. No person entered Pennrhyddyn,
In the character of guest, without bed and
board being offered him.
But an additional advantage to be de-
rived from his visit had been revealed to
Mr.. Wylie since his arrival in the country.
While waiting at the inn for the carriage
to be got ready, he employed the time in
questioning the landlord about the pres
emit inhabitants of the Castle and learned
from him that a young artist gentleman
had arrived there the day before. Mr..
Wylie asked eagerly il he knew the Wis
itor's name.
at was John Tregarth, the hostler, that
hold me-" answered the landlord. Il think

TELEPHONE SITUATION.

The management Of the Piedmont
Telephone company is still very much
concerned about the question as to
what the town Of Yorkville is going
to do about the franchise matter.
The subject came up in Gastonia
Wednesday, between President Love
and Manager Darlington Of the tele-
phone company and a representative of
The Enquirer, who was detained In
Gastonia a few hours waiting on a
train to Charlotte.
Messrs. Love and Darlington intro
duced the subject with an inquiry OF
our representative as to what the peo-
pie of Yorkville wanted and why
they would not grant a franchise, and
on their being assured by the repre-
sentative that he was unable to give a
satisfactory or comprehensive answer
to either question. they went on to ex-
press themselves at considerable
length.
Mr.. Love said that his company
would be glad to perfect the telephone
system in Yorkville If the people of
the town so desired; but that 1t was
out of the question for his company to
think of spending any money until 1t
had the protection Of franchise. He
said that he did not ask for anything
exclusive. The matter could be left
open for the entry of others If 1t was
desired: but it is essential that the
tee of municipal protection. Otherwise
it is impossible to put the business on
satisfactory financial basis. He went
on to say though, and he said it as
though he were in earnest, that If the
people of Yorkvile desired his COM
pany to get out, he would not make
any fight over the matter. He was
ready to quit whenever the people
wanted him to quit; but instead of
quitting the would much rather perfect
the system and put it in first-class
shape with metallic circuit throughout.
Mr. Darlington said that If Yorkvlle
would grant a franchise he would be
willing to guarantee the safety of the
shade trees in so far as his company
is concerned: he would use cables on
Main street and on other streets the
shade trees could be protected by
extra high poles He was willing to
give the Yorkville people any reason

AFTER LATlMER'S JOB.

Greenwood Index: Young Congress

that city calling attention to the ex-
treme fitness of the youthful congress-
man for Senator Latimers seat. Lati-
mer Is not perfect by whole lot,

he is a better man for the Unlted
States senate than a whole raft OF pol
iticians and wouldbe politicians VINO
are "spoken of for his place.
Edgefield News: 1t Is said that tne
nolitical topic just now in the state is
the question of filling the seat ot
United States Senator Latimer whose
term expires on March 4th, 1903. Inat
matter will be decided in the primary
next wear. No doubt, Mr. Latimer
thinks that his shoes fit him very Wen
and he will do all he can, 1t Is SAID 70
continue to wear them. But, there are
certain men who think that the snoes
will 'fit them better. Among lnose
mentioned are: Col George Johnstone
of Newberry; Ex-Governor John cary
Evans of Spartanburg, and Hon: ".
Henderson Of Aiken. 1t Is further
stated, that Mayor r. Goodwin Rnelt
of Charleston, is desirous to see II the
shoes will not fit him very nicely
The field is an open one, ana tnere
is plenty Of time in which to consiaer
the matter, but, ever since tne state
convention declined to send Mr.. Lat
inner to the st. Louis convention, some
people have taken that as the writing
on the wall that doomed Mr.. Latimer:
That writing may have been read
wrong. We do not know Which one
of our Daniels interpreted that writ
ing. 1t was said at the time, but with
what truth we know not, that Ger

DISCIPLINE IN THE CITADEL.
Absolutely Essential to the Life of the
Institution.

The citadel in Charleston has been
forced to expel a number of young
men in order to maintain proper dis
cipline. No doubt the faculty were
very reluctant to resort to extreme
measures. AS rule, schools and COL
leges want as many pupils as they
can get, and they are very anxious to
do them as much good as possible.
The aim of every school, worthy of
patronage, is not simply to instruct
its pupils in text books and to teach
them to think, but it must seek to
train them to have a high regard for
law and order and to develop in them
those principles which make real men
and women.
In other words discipline is not
only necessary for the school as a
whole. but for each Individual con-
nected with it. 1t is but part of his
training, and a very important part,
and quite likely the very part that
has been sadly neglected at home. SO
parents, instead of taking offence
when it is necessary to inflict a pen
atty for the violation of law. should
stand by the school authorities. This
is something many do not do, and 1t
makes it all the harder for our schools
to maintain necessary discipline.
We are not fighting the battles of
the citadel, but 1t seems to us very
foolish in the parents of the expelled
young men who are making such a
tempest in a tea pot because their
sons were held amenable to disci-
pline 1t is said they are going to
courts, that able legal counsel will be
MI q
the bottom.
They may do all this, but should
they succeed. we guarantee two things
will result. Their sons, no doubt al
ready spoiled. will be worse off. and
the school will be weakened. 1t will
not be worth as much to the youth
of the state. in the future as ii has
been in the past, and for the evident
reason that its right hand of useful
ness has been paralyzed. A school
without discipline, is no account The
gentlemen who are making this fight
would agree with us, most heartily,
and commend us for these words
were the gored OK some other fellows.
These young bloods. who run over
parents and everything that comes in
their way, in this land of the free
and brave, need to learn the lesson
which they must learn, sooner or la
ter. and the days will come. when to
use a slang expression. they will be
right square up against it. Better pull
off your law suits gentlemen. and ap-
plaud the citadel management rath-
er than prosecute 1t in the courts.
There is much to be gained in pursu-
ing the former course. and much to
lose in pursuing the latter. We make
no charge for this unasked for ad-
vice. 1t is free and may be taken or
rejected as you prefer.-Greenwood

council would only give franchise, the
service would be made much better
than is now possible.
In reply to a question as to how it
would be with the country lines, Pres
ident Love said that 1t would be the
purpose Of the company to charge two
dollars month for complete county
service, and Of course, to charge every
body extra for service outside Of the
county.
Both Mr.. Love and Mr.. Darlington
are evidently very anxious for fran

they are very positive in their declara-
tions that unless they can get such a
franchise their service will continue to
be badly hampered.

THE New York Herald and other big
newspapers that have been trying to
investigate the political situation
through trusted correspondents in va
rious state, are of opinion that Roose-
velt is generally more popular than
ever since his recent tilt with Harri-
man, and there is growing belief
that he will be forced to accept
third nomination for the presidency.
Many strong opponents Of the presi-
dent believe that he is bending every
effort to the making Of his renomina-
ton an absolute necessity to the con-
tinued success Of the Republican par
ty. Just how the fight is going to
wind up, Of course, there is no telling;
but there is no reasonable doubt OF
the fact that Mr.. Roosevelt Is the most

that this country has known for a
great many years.

PRESIDENT Roosevelt has aroused
the ire of the leaders Of many Of the
big labor organizations. In his recent
letter TO Representative Sherman of
New York, with reference to the Har-
riman matter, he said that Hartman
is as undesirable a citizen as Meyer,
Haywood or Debbs." Meyer and Hay
wood are being held in Idaho on the
charge of murder in connection with
the assassination of Ex-Governor
Steunenburg. The assassination grew
out of struggle between the la
Dor and capital elements for the
control of the state government, and
there is great bitterness among the Ia
Dor element on account of 1t, espe-
cially throughout the west. The labor
leaders say it is all right for the pres
ident to characterized Mr.. Debbs If he
wants TO do so; that Mr.. Debbs is a
free man, in a position to take care of
himself: but the characterization Of
the other two men is calculated to pre-
judice the juries before whom they are
to be tried and therefore extremely
unfair.
