COMMENTING on the court martial
of the Spartanburg militiamen, who
refused to respond to orders to assem-
bile and protect the Jail recently, the
Anderson Daily Mail says:
The court martial of certain mem
berS of the Spartanburg military COM
pany for failure to respond to the or
der to turn out to protect the negro
who was charged with attempted Grim
inal assault, is calculated to make the
militia very unpopular with great
many people. Public sympathy viii
be on the side of the young men who
are TO be court martialed. A convic-
ton would probably result in legisla-
ton to limit and define the powers and
functions Of the militia. There has
been a feeling for some time that the
militia craze is being carried to excess
and this court martial at Spartanbure
will doubtless strengthen this sent-
ment."
If what the Mail says is correct, then
more than anything else, it is to be
taken as indicating the impossibility OF
maintaining an effective military or
ganization under existing conditions
The most essential requirement for an
effective militia organization is disci-
pline. and that requirement is absolute
Without discipline there can be nc
really serious military establishment
What the effect of this trial will be on
the militia or public sentiment, we dc
not know; but we beg leave to suggest
that if the militia cannot stand such
small test of discipline as is here
involved, the best thing that can hap
pen is complete and speedy disorgani-
ZatiOn.

met with resistance and were obliged
to use force. Only one Chinese rioter
is reported killed. At Singapore SINH
lar riots have occurred, and it is said
merchants who have shown a desire
to continue the sale of Japanese goods
have been branded as traitors and in
several instances have been marked
by slit in the ear. According to re-
ports. a secret league has been formed
which has pledged itself to give any
man that slits the ear Of a traitor
$15 and should he be thrown into jail,
to see that he is held up to the public
as a martyr and To pay him dollar

there have been signs of similar trou-

been hired to attack merchants. Wig
orous efforts are being made to sup
press the rioting.

ABOUT THE C. c. G. o.

Under date of last Tuesday, the
Yorkville correspondent of the Char
lotte Observer sends that paper the
following interesting gossip about the
c. c. G. o. railroad:
While Yorkville is not so much as
dreaming that the main line OF the
Carolina, Clinchfeld q Ohio railroad
will pass through her limits, still she
is expecting to receive substantial ben
efits from the construction of the road
owing to the fact that it connects with
the Marion and Kingville division OF
the Southern at Marion, n. e., ana with
the Carolina & North Western at Lin
colnton, n. c., over the Seaboard, York
vile has never enjoyed the advantage
Of being either on or in close touch
with a main, through line Of railroad
but does enjoy the advantage OF having
two competing branch or independent
roads that connect with all the prin-
cipal trunk lines operating in this
part of the state.
1t was reported here more than q
year ago that the Carolina, Cllnch-
field e. Ohio railroad was negotiating
with the Southern for the purchase of
the Marion and Kingville division, but
owing TO the fact that there were no
subsequent developments given out, 1t
had been generally supposed that the
negotiations had long since ended. but
the Observer correspondent was adVlS-
ed few days ago by a prominent cit
izen of Blacksburg that he knew it to
be n fact that negotiations were still
pending as recently as six months ago,
and he was satisfied that could the
two corporations arrive at what both
sides considered equitable terms the
Marion & kingvile division would be
absorbed by the c., G.. & o.. and the
former used as the main line Of the
latter as a part of the line for reach
ing Charleston, where he felt satisfied
that 1t was the purpose Of the new
road To ultimately have its Southern

| Avn and Order Meetings.

1t seems a little strange, we confess,
that it should be necessary at this late
day to be still holding law and order
meetings in as old established commu-
mites as go TO make up the great state
Of South Carolina; but still, If such
meetings are necessary, it will have to
be admitted that these communities are
entitled to much credit for holding
them.
The published report Of the meeting
in Chester the other day gives but a
brief synopsis Of the remarks that
Judge Hydrick made on the occasion of
the meeting in that town: but at the
same time, we would say that the re-
porter gave enough Of the address to
show that his honor thoroughly under
stands the situation in South Carolina.
We would not be understood as min
imizing the Importance of anything
that Judge Hydrick said. for all of his
remarks were 10 the point; but the
ideas that strike us with the greatest
force are that failure to observe the
laws Of the land inevitably meet with

J. Edgar Poag, the man who cuts
the earth to suit your taste" will have
an auction sale Of the Norris Sherrer
property tomorrow. This property
consists of several small tracts locat-
ed between Yorkville and Sharon, and
is good value.
A club of twelve names from Lam
caster with a check to pay for them.
is one of the most pleasant responses
that we have received from our club
announcement, published last Friday.
There is nothing unusual in the num-
Der Of names or in the check, as both
are necessary incidents to the increas-
ing circulation of The Enquirer. And
the source of this particular club, as
the same thing has been going on with
delightful regularity for number Of
wears. The pleasure arises out Of the
continued good health Of the venerable
Capt. Samuel E. White of Fort Mill,
and Of the fact that the efforts of The
Enquirer have the continued approval
Of that splendid, Christian gentleman.
On different occasions our distinguish
ed friend has taken occasion to write
us words of encouragement in our
work, and in such words from him, and
others like him, we have found COM
pensation for efforts and sacrifices that
would have otherwise seemed almost
in vain.

UGLY CHURCH TRoUBLE.-The resig-
nation of Rev. William Duncan, as
pastor of the First Associate Reformed
church of Charlotte, was declined last
Tuesday by the called meeting Of pres
bytery that was held for the purpose
Of investigating certain charges.
When the decision was announced
several members of the faction opposed
to Mr. Duncan rose abruptly and left
the church. There were no votes in
the negative, but probably half the
members Of the body, for some reason,
refrained from voting. A partially sup
pressed ripple Of applause swept over
that portion of the assemblage favor
able to the minister, which was some
what offset by the abrupt departure Of
number who have. steadily opposed
him.
Announcing as its unanimous opin-
ion that the letters playing so prom
inent a part in the affair did contain
some elements o: indiscretion and fur
ther that Mr.. Duncan had been care
less in contracting and discharging
debts, the commission decided never
theless that, all things considered,
more harm would be done the church
by severance of his relation as pas
tor than by his continuance In his
present station, and therefore recon-
mended the declinatiOn Of the resigna-
ton.
Elder J. X. Morrison Of Statesville.
chairman of the commission, without
going into details, explained the pains
which the commission had taken to
probe the matter TO the bottom, stat
ting that, among other things, the
commission had held at least one ses-
sion which lasted nearly all night.
Following the settlement of the Dun
can matter the presbytery adjourned
sine die.

terminals When asked how this could
be when it is generally understood that
the road has already been located from
Bostic, \. c., to Spartanburg and the
contracts for building the same award
ed, he replied that 1t was generally
understood that 1t was not the inten-
ton Of the c.. e. & o. people to con-
struct this line as a part Of the perma-
nent main line, and stated that 1t was
claimed that the line from BoStic to
Spartanburg would not be on the same
general scale as to grades, curves,
bridges, etc. as IS that part of the
road between Bostic and Spruce Pine,
and was only intended as a means of
reaching that part of the state which
otherwise could not be reached over
it's own lines, and I'M which the busi-
ness possibilities for the road were
great.
As to whether or not the Blacksburg
man has sized up the situation correct
ly and has actually given out the plans
Of these people who 1t Is stated have
already spent $50,000,0O0 in construct
ing and equipping what is claimed will
be the best constructed railroad line in
the south, this correspondent Is not
prepared to say, and merely writes
what he has az an additional contribu-
ton to a theme on which many other
correspondents have written during the
past two or three years without any
more accurate data than has the pres
ent writer.
