After a number of days of

day and Tuesday IN an oppres-
sively warm wave, clouds arose
all around the horizon Tuesday,
eliminating in a heavy wind and
abundant rain with sudden drop
in the temperature, that was
grateful change to the sweltering
population. From appearances
this storm was quite general
throughout this section and will
prove beneficial to the growing
crops. 1t was succeeded by
clou ly and cooler weather.

AT THE MONUMENT.

Mr.. E. w. Pursley, Of the firm Of
Pursley & Falls, the we'll known saw
mill located near Kings Mountain bat
tleground was in Yorkville yesterday,
and gave The Enquirer some addition
al information about the work on the
proposed new monument and the sur
roundings generally.
The contractor, as stated, is the
Southern Marble and Granite company
of Spartanburg, and the work is to be
in charge of Mr.. r. w. Dogen.
Most of last week was devoted to
the erection of shacks for the laborers,
and there was some excavation work
for the foundation Of the monument
The excavation Is to be twenty-four
feet square and four feet three inches
deep. 1t is mostly in slate and Will
probably be completed during the
present week.
In addition to the shacks for laborers
the contractors have let a contract for
a small temporary hotel building, about
sixteen by forty feet, to accommodate
the professional employees and skilled
laborers as we'll as such visitors as may
desire over night accommodations
This building is to be cheap and rough
but substantial enough TO answer the
purpose There will also be a commits
sary at which the public may find re-
freShmentS.
The shell Of the monument is to be
constructed of dressed granite, and the
core is to be brick and lime mortar
or cement The granite is to be quar-
ried at Granite Falls, N. c., dressed in
Spartanburg, and delivered by rail to
Grover n. c., from which place it Will
be hauled to the grounds in wagons,
pulled by a traction engine. Mr.. j. b.
Martin has the contract to do the haul
ing.
The battle-ground was last given
thorough clearing up in 1881. At that
time practically all Of the underbrush
was cleaned away with the exception OF
a. few original forest trees that stood
near the spot where Ferguson fell,
and which were probably there when
the battle was fought. The late T. G..
Culp cleaned out anew a small space
Immediately around the monument
while he was supervisor Of York coun--
ty. But since the original clearing and
and cleaning given by Mr.. Culp, the
timber has come again, and almost the
entire mountain is covered with a
scrubby underground from to inches
in diameter The contractors who are
building the new monument will only
do as much clearing as may be neces-
sary to facilitate their work.
Mr.. Pursley who Is thoroughly famil-
lar with the entire surroundings as
we'll as the history Of the battle. Is
more or less disturbed on account Of
the vandalism Of souvenir fiends. He
says that it is a common thing for
these people to bring hammers and
chisels for the purpose Of chipping off
pieces of the monument. The old soap
stone monument has been beaten and
disfigured until it is almost impossible
to read any part of any inscription on
it, and the new monument erected in
1880 has been badly disfigured.
Now that the work Of erecting the
new monument is in progress, interest
in the battle-ground and surroundings
will be renewed, and the number Of
visitors to this historic spot will in
crease steadily.

THE SPECULATIVE MARKET.

The future cotton market condi-
ton as seen by the New York office OF
the Associated Press last night was as
follows:
The cotton market was easier today
and while the close was steady in
tone, last prices showed net loss or
16 to 2S points. Sales were estimated
at 10000 bales.
The market opened barely steady at
a net decline of to points in re-
sponse to lower cables, favorable
weather over the week end, bearish
crop accounts, and unfavorable trade
advices from the continent. There
was some little irregularity during the
early session but the general tendency
of the market was downward and the
lowest points were reached in the late
trading with the close only shade up
from the lowest on the new crop
months and at bottom figures on near
positions which ruled relatively weak
all day. Next Friday will be the first
of July notice day in the local market,
and part of the selling Of that posi-
ton today was supposed to reflect IL,
ouidatiOn by trailing longs to avoid
deliveries. Crop advices from points
east of the Mississippi were generally
favorable and the scattering showers
reported over Sunday were thought
to be beneficial particularly in south
ern Texas. Southern spot markets re-
ported early were steady to hrm at
Unchanged prices. Local traders are
looking forward to a bearish govern
ment report on July 1st, carrying the
crop up to June 25th, and predictions
Of from SO to IS per cent are heard
around the street as to its probable
showing.

year. For the week $4,000 against

Use Your Judqment.

The biennial campaign for the vari-
Gus political offices is on, and we de-
sire to take occasion at this time, be-
fore the clouds have begun to gather,
to offer a few words Of counsel that
can be considered better now than la
ter.
The essence of popular government
is the will of the majority. Every cit
izen is supposed to vote for the men
or principles which come nearest to
meeting his judgment Of what is right,
and after all have expressed themselves
the result is supposed to be their COM
posite will.
It is a fact that in our citizenship
there are thousands of men who have
the right to vote; but who would be
utterly unfit to hold any kind of an Of
flee, either administrative or judicial.
Most of this unfitness comes from ig-
norance, viciousness and inexperience;
but not a little of it comes from the
other extreme, over education and ul-
ira refinement, coupled with a lack OF
common sense and ability to properly
appreciate the composite capacity and
needs of people to be served.
The casting Of an intelligent vote
therefore, is an act that calls for the
most careful consideration and the ut
most good sense. And the people who
arrogate to themselves the right to tell
other people how TO vote are as often
as otherwise, as badly in need OF as
sistance as are the people they would
advise.
The safest thing is for every man to
follow his own best judgment. Let
him be honest with himself in his de-
cision and he will not likely be very
unjust to his fellowman.
But the one thing to be guarded
against most is the self-seeking,
sneaking fellow who seeks to influence
votes by telling "in confidence" all
manner of inventions that they would
not dare give public express to. This
is a factor inseparable from every cleo
ton, and it results in the deception
and DETECTION Of many an honest vote
from honest men standing for honest
principles.
The safest guide to him who would
do the right thing in casting vote is
to seek not merely professed honesty
and decency; but real honesty and de-
cency. AS to what is the best guide
along this line, it is hardly worth
while to explain--not in this country
of cheap Bibles and open churches.
Avoid the loud talking, bitter parti-
san. Avoid the clustering buffer
Avoid the man who seeks to secure
your vote through arguments by which
ne himself does not seem convinced
Cast your vote as becomes a self-res-
pecting freeman, who really deserves
decent government.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1908-06-23

IN his charge to the Lancaster grand
jury recently Judge Gage made a
strong plea for the enforcement Of the
law against murder. Such pleas are
timely and proper. With all earnest
ness, we state as a fact that there is
as little respect for the law against
murder as for any other law on the
statute book not even excepting the
law against liquor selling. 1t is gen.
orally felt that there is no penalty on
murder except conscience and lawyers
fees. Where man has plenty of
money and no conscience he is sub
ject to very little restraint People talk
as if the laws against murder should
be enforced: but their good intentions
generally end there. The rule in a
murder case rs to pick the SofteSt and
most chicken hearted jurors to be
found on venire and then go in for
an appeal to maudlin sentiment. The
idea of justice as between the murder
er and his victim is lost sight of, and
it seldom happens that there is Il man
on the jury who has the courage to do
his plain duty. The adequate punish
ment of a few murdererS would change
all this almost instantly; but really 1t
looks as if the case is almost hopeless.
