A NEW PRESS.

There has been more or less confu-
sion in the mechanical department of
The Enquirer office during the past
few weeks on account Of the installa-
ton of new printing press; but 1t
is expected that the work will be COM
pleted within the next few days, and
after that, everything will be working
smoothly again.
The putting in of this press, it gives
us pleasure to say, is to meet the
growing demands of the job printing
department of the office as we'll as of
the newspaper, and in a sense also, 1t
is a realization of an ambition that
has been entertained during a great
many years.
The Enquirer as most of our read
els are aware, has always been a
leader in the matter of improved ma
chinery. The late l.. NJ. Grist was the
first publisher in the state outside OF
Columbia and Charleston to use ma
chine printing press. He was also the
first publisher in this territory to at
tempt to operate his machinery by
steam, and the first also to attempt
the use of linotype.
The first machine press brought to
YorkVille, was what was known as
the Princeton. This was in 1858. The
Princeton was a rather crude affair,
capable of printing only about 300 pa
pers an hour, and but little improve
ment over the old heel press. After
being used a year or two, this press
was exchanged for a better press,
known as the Guernsey, which was
used for several years and sold to
publisher in Chester. 1t is still in
service. After the Guernsey, The En-
uuirer bought the first Country
Campbell" brought to South Carolina

you that Saye law is the best law we
have ever had, but those people on
Coon branch and Chestnut level, just
don't understand it, and they are 60
ing to vote against Saye to man.
Subsequent investigation shows that
the man making the report was the
man who soWed the alleged dissen-
sion, and that among the people he
was reporting about, he found many
who had too much knowledge and in
formation to be influenced by his pea
nut politics.
1t is to be noted that the Saye law
is not being fought so hard from the
stump now as at the beginning. 1t is
noted that the people who were fight
ing it. have come pretty near getting
on top of it on all fours. The reason
is quite obvious. 1t turns out that the
clamor of two weeks ago was not on
account of the Saye law; but on ac-
count of the clamOr that was pro-
voked by deliberate misrepresenta-
tions of the Saye law-representations
made to make votes against Saye.
There is good reason to believe now
that if it were practicable to have an
election to decide between the Saye
laws and the old law, the Saye law
would be endorsed overwhelmingly.
But the peanut politicians who
raised all this clamor on account Of
the Saye law, are not going to stop at
that. Whipped out on this line, they
will get up something else to the same
end-to influence votes, and as fast as
the voters expose them in one sub
terfuge they will begin striking out on
another
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1908-08-14
Road Exemptions.

The Fort Mill Times states the 1ol-
lowing as its principal objections to
the Saye law:
"One objection is that the law pro-
vides for no exemptions.
Another is the age limit Of IL TO
55 years. .,so,
Another is that we do not consider
the law practicable as 1t stands.
"Other reasons could be given for
our opposition to this particular good
roads law: but The Times is not in
line for a lengthy controversy over
the blunders and misdoings OF our
lawmakers"
AS The Enquirer sees it, the strong
est and best feature of this law is the
omission of exemptions. 1t is next to
impossible to begin this exemption
business without running it into the
ground, and under the old law the ex-
emption business was certainly run
into the ground. We want everybody
to help.
We do not like the age limit of Is
to 55. DR.. Saye agrees with The Times
on that. He thinks the limit should
be 81 to So, and we think this will be
better. Tax all the people from 81 to
55, SO each for roads and they will
see to it that their money is properly
spent. But this road limit is to be
changed.
AS to whether the law is 'practica-
ble," we shall not argue until we are
informed as to wherein it is imprac-
ticable. We think it very practical
and very practicable.

Mr.. STEWARDS ROAD SCHEME.

In The Enquirers report Of the Og-
den meeting last Friday, reference was
made to the fact that Mr.. w. H. Stew
art read an outline of his ideas on the
road question. Our reporter asked him
for the paper; but he declined to give
1t to The Enquirer, turning 1t over to
the representative of the Rock Hill
Herald instead. The Enquirer gave a
correct summary Of the plan last Fri
day. In order, however that there can
be no reasonable ground Of dispute, we
reproduce the paper in full as pub
lished in the Rock Hill Herald Of We'd
nesday. 1t is as follows:
"I am in favor of the principle Of
taxing property to improve and main
tain the public roads. 1 favor the
working Of roads by contract. I am
in favor Of having a civil or road en-
gineer. | am not in favor of abolish
ing the chaingang. l am in favor of
abolishng the office of county COM

said tax, the party to have the right
10 work out the Communication tax un-
der the person having the contract
for said road. and if the party refuses
to either pay or work, then make 1t
a misdemeanor.
II am in favor of exempting citi-
zens in incorporated towns and cities
from the road tax. 1 am In favor of
the age limit 21 to SIS years.
II am in favor of each township
having at least rs per cent Of the
property tax to be expended in the
township for its roads and the other

Now these are my ideas for good
roads and if elected to the senate,
with the cooperation Of the house
delegation, I will endeavOr to frame
a bill, With proper details for getting
up a practical and just road law. Am
willing to submit the question to the
people as to whether they want good
roads and how to raise the money to
improve and maintain them, either
bond issue or a two mill tax levy.
If any member or citizen offers a bet

and used it until 1888. 1t had capac-
ity Of about 700 copies an hour. 1t
was displaced by a press known as the
Campbell intermediate, a machine that
cost $4,000 and which had a capacity
Of about 1000 papers an hour.
The Campbell intermediate was an
unusually expensive press for a coun-
try office, and did fine service until
1890, when it was lost in the fire that
destroyed The Enquirer Office.
The means of the establishment were
not sufficient 10 replace the press re-
ferred to after the fire, and it was
necessary to be content with a cheap
er machine, Country Cranston,"
weighing about 5000 pounds and hav-
ing a capacity of about 1.4O0 sheets an
hour. Although it has been In use for
eighteen years, this machine continues
In first-class condition: but 1t Is un-
equal to the present needs Of the es-
tablishment, and hence the new
press.
The new press Is known as the New
Whitlock," and like the old Princeton,
the Guernsey and the two Campbells,
is a record breaker in that it is the
best Of its kind in a country Office in
South Carolina. The new press weighs
10000 pounds and has a capacity of
$3.50 impressions an hour. The ma
chine is, in our opinion, the best of
it's class yet produced 1t was pur-
cured through Messrs. ]. H. Schroeder
& Bro, of Atlanta, Ga.
In the acquisition Of this splendid
new machine, the press facilities of
The Enquirer office are nearly dou-
bled, and while we have no special an
nouncements as to improvements to
be made in the immediate future, it is
with no little satisfaction that we are
able to say that our mechanical facili-
ties are now equal to almost any rea-
sOnable requirements that are likely to
be made on them.

Accident to Little Girl.
Fort Mill Times: The little 3-year-
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. b. F.
Bennett, Of Upper Fort Mil, lost one
of the fingers of it's right hand Wed
nesday In an accident at Browns
Shop, where with its parents 1t was
attending the big picnic. The little
Bennett child, together with several
other children. was sitting In the foot
of a buggy with it's right hand hang
ing out, when the horse attached to
the vehicle began kicking. The child's
hand was caught between the buggy
bed and the heavy shoes Of the horse
and so badly mashed that the ampu-

cessary. DR.. ]. B. Elliott attended
the little one.
State Clearinghouse Association.
Rock Hill Record, Monday: Mr..
Ira b. Dunlap. cashier Of the Nation
al Union Bank, attended a meeting
of bankers at Columbia on Thursday
last, at which financiers from various
parts of the state were present. The
object OF the meeting was to prepare
plans for the organization Of a state
clearing house association, something
which is badly needed in South Caro-
lima. Such an association would tend
to draw the banks closer together,
and it would not only facilitate the
transaction of business throughout the
state, but in times of financial emer-
gency would do much toward strength
ening individual banks. Mr.. Dunr
lap was appointed one of committee
VI three to canvass all the national
banks and report at a subsequent
meeting

SPECULATIVE MARKET.

There was a sensational break in the
price of October contracts on the New
York exchange on Wednesday. The
fight is on October, especially for the
purpose of depressing the price Of the
new crop. AS to whether the spin
ners are controlling both sides Of the
market is a matter that can only be
surmised. But anyhow, both sides had
out long lines, and during the day
threw 5000 bale contracts at each 9TH
er in a way that was exciting. Octo-
Der went down 43 points in the trad
ing of the morning. The develop
ments of yesterday were summarized
in a New York dispatch of last night
as follows:
The cotton market was much less
active today with the undertone nerv-
Gus and small traders inclined to go
cautiously pending some better infor-
nation as to the extent and character
of the remaining long interest or some
decided change in the spot or crop Sit
uation. The close was steady at an
advance of 3 points on August, but
generally unchanged to points low
ed with the late positions relatively
firm. Sales We're estimated at about
115.000 bales.
The market opened steady at un-
changed prices to decline Of points
under scattered selling promoted by a
beariSh view of yesterdays sharp
break, and continued good weather in
the south The Liverpool market
however, was a little better than ex-
pected, there was no renewal of yes
terday's sensational liquidation, and
shortly after the opening the market
did better on covering and moderate
buying by reactionists. After advanc-
ing to $50 for October and 800 for
January, or 10 to II points net higher,
offerings increased and the market
soon turned easier under renewal of
bear pressure and southern selling, the

latter being supposed to reflect the
favorable progress Of the crop, and the
approach of the early marketing sea-
son. October eased off to 9.03 under
this selling, but in the late trading was
slightly steadier as a result Of cover
ing and closed at 906. There seemed
to be some selling Of October against
purchases Of December, probably for old
straggle accounts which is supposed
to explain the relative steadiness of the
later positions. The second day Of
the dry goods auction is said to have
been less satisfactory than yesterday,
with the prices realized lower, and the
buying less animated. Southern spot
markets officially reported were un-
changed to 1-Sc lower.
Receipts at the ports today 3,195
bales against 3,41S last week and 675
last year. For the week $4,000 bales
against 1888 last week and S,771 last
year Today's receipts at New Or
leans 422 bales against $50 last year,
and at Houston 2,10S bales against 494
a year ago.
