NOT SQUARE DEAL--It is related
that Mr.. Charles A. Keene, an inde-
pendent dealer, bought in London an
American watch for $7.S9. This watch
is sold to our own people for $10.5S,
and the manufacturers will not permit
1t to be sold for less.
Mr.. Keene had these facts engraved
on the watch and offered II to the
president, but he refused to receive It.
The evidence is, nevertheless, altogth-
er relevant
1t has long been known that pro-
tected goods are sold abroad for much
less than our people pay for them.
The manufacturers bitterly denied this
for long time. but the evidence was
so conclusive that they finally came to
admit 1t, and now they seek to justify
1t, at the same time saying that the
difference Is not much. This subject
Of watches has been before the public
for some time, and many assertions
about the price abroad have been de-
MED. Mr.. Keene has presented an OBJ
ject lesson, showing how our people
pay nearly so per cent more than
the English, all on account Of that
scientific tariff"
Is this a square deal?-Louisville

TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL.

Prof w. H. Hand, of the chair Of
secondary education, in the South Car
olina university is in Yorkville today ir
the interest of the establishment OF
public high schools along the line con.
templated in the state appropriation
for this purpose.
In the rooms Of the Commercial club
this morning, he made a most inter-
esting and comprehensive talk to the
trustees of the several school districts
lying within York township, on the
subject of establishing township high
school, and 1t Is his purpose to address
meeting Of citizens in the court
house this afternoon on the same sub
ject.
The trustees present at the meeting
this morning were Messrs. ]. M. Big
ger, Harvey Hamel and James Camp
bell, representing district No. 81;
Messrs. ]. w. Y. Dickson and R. E.
Mcfarland, representing district No
8: Mr.. Mansfield Gordon representing
district No. 6; Mr.. R. D. Hope, rep
resenting district No. 20 and Messrs
VIM. B. McCaw, Withers Adickes
w. Brown Wylie. w. D. Glenn, j
E. Carroll and Thos. F. McDow rep
resenting the Yorkville graded school
district. Mr.. ]. M. Stroup Of No. "a
in Kings Mountain township was al
so present along with a number Of 9TH
er citizens Of Yorkville interested.
Prof Hand, who is a good speaker
and thoroughly acquainted with his
subject, makes a remarkably strong
argument in favor Of the acceptance
Of the states proposition by this
whole township. Anything like a
complete summary of his remarks is
impracticable at this hour, but the
gist of the business side of 1t will be
comprehended in the proposition that
If the people of the township will vote
special levy Of l mill on all the
property Of the township, and raise
thereby $1,240 for high school pur-
| poses, and further supplement the
sum with a sufficient portion of the
present school revenues to raise the
aggregate sum to $1,000, the state
will contribute $500 a year additional.
and with $2,400 a year it will be
practicable to run a high school that
will not only serve to relieve the bur-
den of the primary schools; but will
enable local patrons to keep their sons
and daughters at home for at least a
year longer and at last send them to
college much more thoroughly pre-
pared than now. He made the state
ment that all the colleges have to do
preparatory work for the reason that
this work Is not being done at home,
and showed how Yorkville alone,
which Is sending eighteen young men
and women to college at cost of $3,-
600 a year, could by means OF a
good high school, save at least one
fourth of that sum, or $500 year.
All of his arguments along the same
line were conclusive, and those pres
ent were very much impressed.
There was keen disappointment
among those present this morning
that there were not more to near Mr.
Hands splendid talk and strenuous
efforts are now being made by tele-
phone and otherwise to get a larger
audience for this afternoon. Mr:
Hand, however, Will also speak at
sharon academy tomorrow morning
at 10 o'clock, and at Iirzah station
tomorrow evening at 8 O'CLOCK.

WILL REBUILD.

Mr.. G. L. Riddle of Zeno, was in
Yorkville yesterday. on business In
connection with the rebuilding Of his
flour mill, which was destroyed by fire
recently.
The work of rebuilding has already
commenced, and as those who know
Mr.. Riddle best had no neason to
doubt, the new mill is to be better than
the old one.
The understanding is that the ma
chinery Is to include the best obtain
able Savage equipment, and every
thing is to be constructed in first class
style.
The new mill will be in operation
within a few months.

PRICE OS CUrTON-Here is Theo-
dore w. Prices most recent sum-
mary of the cotton situation:
1T seems to me that the advance in
the close of the present season the
visible supply of cotton will probably
be less than the worlds requirements
for a month. The crop is fully three
weeks late. therefore the present crop
will have to supply thirteen months
consumption. Good judges in the
south express themselves as believ-
ing next years crop cannot possibly
be 100000 bales, and that nothing
short of 1".500,000 bales will prevent
a situation graduated from scarcity to
famine. Assuming that the crop is, as
the census indicated, 13.291,000 bales,
or as some claim, 100000 bales, and
that the export will not fall below
that of 1904-l9O5, the figures are
startling. The net stock, May 10th,
not On shipboard at the ports and in
terror towns, was 100000 bales.
OF this $4,000 are in New York, leav-
ing in the interior towns and seaports
of the south $685. bales. OF the lat
ter 100000 are held either for account
of southern mills or pledged to spin
ners. OF the remaining 3OS,0OO bales,
il Is, l think, a fair assumption that
300, 900 are linters, low grades and un-
merchantable cotton, leaving available
for spinnerS for the balance of the
saesOn probably not more than 5000
bales"

FIRE NEARLY
OCCURRED

An accident occurred night before
aging fire in two homes on Prospect
street About half past twelve Mr..
Scudder who resides at $40 Prospect
street was aroused from deep sleep by
the furious ringing OF the telephone
bell in a distant part of his house. The
ringing was accompanied by loud
discordant buzzing, the entire house
being pervaded with n pungent odor
as of burning chemicals. Hastily run
ming to the telephone closet he found
the box too hot for handling, sparks
dashing along one of the wires and a
threatened combustion OF the appara-
tus. Central could not be reached and
after trying several expedients the
wires were severed, when the noise
ceased.
Investigation showed the interior OF
the box containing the coils and bells
somewhat charred and the insulation
over the coils burned out in spots. If
the doors within the house had not
been left open and the sleeping in
mates had not been aroused, ten or
fifteen minutes more Of the trouble
would have resulted in q destructive
fire.
Across the way at the residence of
Mr.. A. Il. Brock on the same telephone
circuit the noise was not heard but the
phone box was found blackened in the
morning and in endeavoring to use the
instrument Mr.. Brock received severe
shock. The severing Of the wires
across the way probably helped save
his home from disaster. 1t seems as
though telephones should have a fuse
arrangement which would burn out in
case Of too great current and not en-
danger loss by fire. In this case doubt
less some electric light or live traction
wire had crossed one of the telephone
company's wires.
