GEORGE PETERS HANGED.

An effort was made by The Enquirer
to get some information last Friday as
to the hanging of George Peters; but
Hillsville. Va, being such an out OF
the way place, communication was
impracticable, and no news was pro-
cured until the, arrival Of the Rich
mond News-Leader of Friday, which
contained the following:
Hillsville, Va, Oct. 18.-George A
Peters was hanged in the court house
yard here this morning at 1910 o'clock
for the murder Of the Rev. Joseph
Easter, Dunkard preacher, May 23
The condemned man was dead In
twelve minutes after the drop fell, his
neck being broken. The hanging was
In the presence OF about a dozen cit
liens. ...
Peters showed signs of breaking
down last night, but this morning he
summed up wonderful courage and
walked to the scaffold in company
with Sheriff Blankenship and the lat
ter's deputies.
When asked If he had anything to
say, Peters requested that q minister
pray for him, but being told that no
minister was present, he then called
upon Sheriff Blankenship to do so,
but the officer declined.
Deputy Landreth and DR.. Wilkinson
were then asked to pray, and they
both offered prayers for the prisoner
Peters was again asked II he had
anything to say and he replied as fol-
lows:
This is the end of a man who vio-
lates the law Of the land and Of God"
The moose was then adjusted by
Sheriff Blankenship and the trap was
sprung by the deputies.
The body was turned over to the
dead mans relatives. Peters was born
in Yorkville, 8. c.. about thirty
Joseph Easter for testifying against
him in some Illicit distilling cases.
The Charlotte Observer of yesterday,
has the following special from Mt
Airy, N. c.:
The execution of George Peters, at
Hillsville, Va, attracted an immense
throng Of the morbidly curious. A
large number of North Carolina people
crossed the line in order to see the
execution, or to be as near as possible
when the murderer went to his doom
Peters, as has been stated before, was
respited for thirty days by the gov
ernor of Virginia and many people
thought the governor would interfere
again, but not so, and George Peters
went to face his Maker Friday. UP
to the last he said that he did not
kill the preacher. Rev. Joseph Eas-
ter, but gave those who talked with
him in fail to understand that he
knew who did the killing.
However, this all may be, Peters has
paid the penalty for his crime, and
the law has been vindicated.. He did
not claim at the last that he was pre-
pared to die.

went down with a half dozen bullets In

GROWING IN WEALTH.

It will be Of interest to a great many
people to know the rate at when
York county has grown in wealth dur
ing the past ten years, and there Is
no better way Of getting at actual facts
along this line than by a comparison
of the aggregate taxable values from
year to year. With the assistance Of
the treasurer and auditor, a reporter
for The Enquirer has been able not
only to accurately compile these figures
during the past eleven years; but also
to give the amount assessed against
each years aggregate property valua-

THE story comes from Nashville
that one of the objects in President
Roosevelt's visit to that town Is to
complete the compilation Of data on
the life of Andrew Jackson, which, 1t
is said, he will use in a book about
the former president. Mr.. Roosevelt
goes to Nashville next week. 1t is
hoped that in writing about Andy he
will not overlook the fact that he was
born in South Carolina. He said so
himself. An authoritative deliverance
from the president on this question
would probably shut the mouths of all
the historical fakirs who have been
trying to claim that Jackson was born
in North Carolina.-News and Courier
II Jackson, himself, could not settle
the dispute as to the state of his birth
we are unable to see how Mr.. Roose-
welt can do it. The Charlotte Obser-
yer and other North Carolina papers
have said that the horse is five feet
high and five feet high they will con-
tinue to insist 1t is.

YoRKVILLE, 8. O.,
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1907.

THEORETICALLY, the taxable property
of York county is returned at so per
cent Of its actual value. Actually, the
returns do not represent 80 per cent Of
the value Of the property returned, to
say nothing Of the value Of that which
is not returned. Instead Of the total
valuation being only sS.2s1.O76, there
fore it is nearer $16,5S2,152.

THE ordinary politics of these times,
is too much question Of acquiring
power That the majority should rule
Is right but to claim that the major
ity is always right is absurd. Major
tiles are often ruled by individuals and
those individuals are often as rotten
and corrupt as it is possible for men
to be. Men who stand for right, for
rights sake have to submit to ma
jority rule; but they do not have to
aquiesce in vicious practices or prin-
ciples, even though such vicious prac-
tices and principles have the endorse
ment of majority rule.

The attendance on the FARMERS Oh-
ion convention yesterday gave evidence
of surprising strength for that organ
ization, considering the fact that the
first union in the county was formed
only a few weeks ago. The personnel
of the representation also showed that
the organization is being developed
out of material that stands for some-
thing in the various neighborhoods.

ton of the Farmers union on the basis
Of its professed principles cannot re-

FARMERS UNION ORGANIZES.

Pursuant to the call published by
Mr.. L. L. Smith in the last issue Of
The Enquirer. about one hundred far
mers assembled in the court house
yesterday morning to meet Mr.. B. F..
Earle, state secretary Of the Farmers
Educational and Cooperative union,
who came for the purpose Of organiz-
Ing the local unions Of York county
into q county union.
All of the local unions Of which
there are quite number In working
order were represented by duly ac-
credited delegates, and the representa-
ton also included quite a number Of
other farmers from different sections
Of the county who came for the pur-
pose Of ascertaining how they should
go about securing the organization OF
local unions, and also a few more or
less disinterested spectators who for
reasons of their own desired to witness
the progress Of developments.
The meeting was called to order by
Mr.. M. s. Carroll, an official organizer,
and after prayer by Mr.. c. T. Crook,
Secretary Earle was introduced to the
meeting.
Mr.. Earle talked at some length dis
cussing and explaining the principles
of the union, which he declared as fol-
lows:
To establish justice.
To secure equity.
To apply the golden rule.
To discourage the credit and mort
gage system.
To assist members in buying and
selling.
To educate the agricultural class In
scientific farming.
To teach farmers the classification or
crops, domestic economy, and the
process Of marketing.
To systematic the methods or pro-
duction and distribution.
To eliminate gambling in farm pro-
ducts by boards Of trade. cotton ex-
changes and other spectators.
To bring farmers up to the standard
Of other industrial and business enter
prises.
To secure and maintain profitable
and uniform prices for grain, cotton,
live stock and other products or the
farm.
To strive for harmony and good will
among all mankind and brotherly love
among ourselves.
Mr.. Earle took the position that the
farmers of this country as such. did
not get fair share Of the proceeds OF
their labor. He is the victim OF
non n-producing parasites Of various
kinds, all because he Is not organized
for his proper protection. All other pro-
fessions and businesses are organized,
Mr. Earle declared. Each class Is or
ganized to protect itself against all
other classes, and the farmers should
organize themselves as a class to pro-
tect themselves against other organized
classes. He did not want to be under
stood as complaining against any 9TH
er class, or desiring to take unfair ad-
vantage of any other class; but he did
want the farmer to put himself in a
position to protect himself against in
