Bond Election In Fort Mill.
Fort Mill special Of April IL, to Co
lumbia State: Fort Mill is consider
ably stirred up just now over the
question of issuing bonds. An cleo
ton to decide whether or not $4,000
in bonds shall be issued to build a
new school house has been ordered by
the trustees of the district. A petit
tion is also being circulated asking
the city council to order an election
for the purpose of authorizing the is
sue Of $4,000 in bonds for the pur-
pose Of making street improvements.
The opponents OF the bond issue for
the new school claim that for a great
deal less than $4,000 the present
building, a large brick one. In bad re-
pair, could be put in good shape and
made large enough for the present.
Also that $1,000 will not build and
equip large enough building to last
many years, II the present growth OF
the town and school Is kept up. Very
little opposition seems to have devel-
oped so far to the bond issue for street
improvements.

PRITcHARD TO BE DEFIED.
Looks Like Dispensary Commission
Will Not Give Bond.

Looks Like Dispensary Commission
Will Not Give Bond.
No new developments were reported
in the dispensary situation yesterday
The time limit by which the dispen-
sary commission was required to give
bond in connection with the superse-
deas proceedings expired yesterday,
and it was expected that Judge
Pritchard's receivers would make de-
mand for the collateral now held by
the state to guarantee the security OF
the dispensary deposits in the banks.
The situation last Saturday as de-
scribed by correspondent was as
follows:
The order of Judge Pritchard,
granting a supersedeas on conditions,
has not been served on the chairman
of the dispensary winding up COM
mission, DR.. w. J. Murray. 1t is dat
ed April s, and requires compliance
within five days from date, not five
DAYS from service, so that the COM
mission has now only three days to
arrange any personal affairs so as 10
take an enforced absence from bus
mess for a longer or shorter period,
The commission will not give the
heavy bond required by Judge Pritch-
ard, and will not surrender the col
lateral which he requires to be sur
rendered, so that the members will be
in contempt in refusing to obey the
order to deposit the collateral with
the federal court. AS matter OF
fact, the collateral is not in the pos
session of the commission, but is with
the state treasurer, and has been IN
his possession for a long time, even
before the books and records Of the
dispensary were placed in the treas
urer's vaults. This being the case,
the commission can make answer
that the collateral is not in its pos
session at all and that they cannot
comply with the primary and most
important condition of Judge Pritch-
ards order.
"Of course, if Judge Pritchard can
get hold of the collateral he has the
case in his hands absolutely, but the
state is not going TO surrender the
collateral.
Judge Pritchard may serve an or
der on State Treasurer Jennings, but
il happens that Capt. Jennings is in
mississippi, and not at this time in
the jurisdiction of Judge Pritchard's S
court.
He is having a pleasant visit out
there and is doubtless not in any hur-
ry to return, unless he is requested to
come home by Governor Ansel, and
the governor will not likely ask him
to come back to give up the collater-
al, and Mr.. Jennings will not instruct
any one to give it up for him.
The state is simply going to keep
IFS hands on the collateral which was
deposited as security for the deposits
of the dispensary money with the
various banks of the state, and the
banks will not pay out the money
without getting their securities back.
This point is the milk in the CO.
coanut, and the state holds the cocoa
nut.
by next Monday. the 18th, the
matter will. unless something now un-
foreseen interveneS, come to the cris-
is"

THE Progressive Farmer insists that
the Williamson plan is not what II Is
cracked up to be, claiming that 'he
principal reason why better crops nave
been made under it is because 1t calls
for the use of more fertilizers. AS the
outcome of several tests made under
the attention of the Progressive FAR
mer. that paper states that by the use
of the same amount of fertilizers bet
ter results have been obtained by oth-
er more common methods. The En-
uuirer is not able to discuss the matter
from the vantage ground of practical
experience; but thinks there is no
doubt of the fact that the Williamson
plan has given tremendous impetus to
corn production and whatever else may
be said of it. it is deserving of credit
for that

It is we'll worth anybodys while to
try for the corn prizes.
The idea of instituting a contest for
the best ears of corn has been suggest
ed. 1t is possible that something Of
the kind may develop next fall.
There was some frost Sunday morn
ing and it was close to frost again yes
terday morning; but so far as infor-
nation has been obtainable no harm
has been done.
Many of the newspapers are COM
planning of the high price Of white pa
per compared with low subscription
prices. The compliant is well founds
ed. Most Of the newspapers have their
subscription rates too low.
Bowling Green, h-Shiloh and Al
lison Creek churches all very much
regret to lose Rev. w. A. Hafner to
Fort Mill church, but the Fort Mill
church is to be congratulated on secur-
ing such an excellent man and preach
er for q pastor.
And not little honor will attach to
the winners of the corn prizes There
are lots of good farmers in York coun-
ty, and the man who proves himself
to be the best at corn raising will
have right to feel proud of his
achievement.
Nearly 5000 subscribed to the corn
prize fund in a single week. That is a
credtable showing for the York county
public. There is good reason to hope
that the proposed fund will be sub
scribed in full. Anyhow would-be
competitors are warranted in getting
down to their knitting.
Every farmer in the county will do
we'll to enter the corn prize contest
There is no question of the fact that
corn raising is very largely a scientif-
ic propositions but still there is a
considerable element of luck in it.
Where man has reasonable conf
dence in his land and where he pro-
poses to fertiliZe with any liberality
at all. he will be very unwise to re-
fraln from entering the contest OH dc-
count of such a small matter as a so
cents fee.
Two of "ye ode TYNE" fiddlers have
visited The Enquirer office with ref
erence to the fiddler's convention which
is to be held in the court house on May
s. under the auspices of the Yorkvile
COrnet band. Both were pleased with
the idea; but one Of them is disposed
to make kick He says that violinists
were allowed to compete in the Rock
Hill convention and that that is preju-
dicial to the fiddlers. Now, while The
Enquirer does not mind stating the
grievance of the other fellow. it does
not want to be understood as having to
settle any of these matters. The Cor
net band will have charge of the ar
rangements. The understanding is
that it is to be a fiddler's convention,
and the band boys will see that every
thing is regular.

values. his tendency is to drift to the
other extreme.
There are some people who make
absolutely correct returns to the very
best of their ability; but these include
Il very few. There are others who feel
u strong inclination To do this: but are
unable to bring themselves To do ii in
the face Of the fact. that neighbors,
friends. rivals ana competitors are
making their returns on Il basis $"
luuch lower. As the comptroller gem
eral very correctly argues. the present
system. or rather practice. encourages
dishonesty.
There is a widespread sentiment in
favor of shifting the burden of taxation
to corporations of various kinds. Let
pay the taxes" say many.
The constitution says taxation must
be uniform and equal. The idea of tax
ing corporations above their share is
wrong to begin with, and the thing
will not work out in practice anyway
not for long. If the public is unjust to
it must expect injustice
at the hands of the corporations
either that or the corporations will be
DESTROYED and the burden will come
back on the public at last.
Yes. Mr.. Jones is right in his efforts
to secure the assessment of all prop
crty at it's true value. We are all IA
miliar with the old adage to the effect
that there is no escape from death
and taxes" Most of us have sense
enough to appreciate that since death
is inevitable, we should try to meet IT
suuarely. 1t would be the part of wis
dom to contemplate the taxation ques-
ton from exactly the same standpoint.
