WITHIN THE TOWN.

DR.. McDowel's office Is in the B.
N. Moore building over /. w. Johnson's
store, instead of in the Shandon hotel
as enormously stated.
The boards of commissioners of
state and county and Federal elections
are in Yorkville today canvassing the
returns from the general election Of
November 3.
The Yorkville Cemetery association
wants to name the two cemeteries in
the town. Neither has a name, and
the effort to distinguish one from the
other is more or less confusing. All
cemeteries elsewhere, have distinctive
names. Mr. G.. w. S. Hart, president
of the association will be pleased to
have suggestions from all who care to
make them. A name Is to be decided
upon shortly.
THE Jeanette Killing Recital COM
pany gave an entertainment in the
school building last Friday night as
advertised, except that the performance
did not commence until late because of
delays experienced by the members of
the company in coming from Chester
in an automobile. The audience was
rather smaller than it would have been
except for the delay; but everybody
present enjoyed the entertainment very
much All Of the performers are first
class artists in their respective lines.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1908-11-10
PRESIDENT TAYLoR's FIGURES.
Head of Ginners' Association says Cot
ton Is Worth 121-2 Cents.

To the GinnerS and Planters:
Y.ur reports show there has been
ginned to November 1st, this year.
S,051.O 900 bales and that the crop will
be 1861, 900 bales. not including
linters or repackS. This is some low
er than general expectations, but the
loss seems to be principally in Louis
lana and Oklahoma, where the crop
is the shortest on record. The wealth
er has been almost perfect for over
two months now and with plenty of
labor and cotton all open earlier than
known before in years there Is no
reason why the ginning should not
be even larger. The farmers seems to
have sold it very freely, especially in
Texas, where the crop is good in most
of the counties; but only a few Of
them report as good as 1906 and they
are some of the smaller producing
counties in the west and southwest.
Ellis county has about the best crop
in the state and will make only 141,-
900, compared with $4,000 in 1906.
There is a large number of counties
making much less than last years
short crop. If the present weather
continues the crop will all be picked
by December 1st except in Oklahoma
and western Texas. Even the Mis-
sissippi delta will be practically
through.
Cotton is a cent a pound lower
than last year at this time with the
panic on in full blast, while now bus
mess has recovered to nearly the old
basis before the panic. The election
is over and large contracts are being
placed for coal, iron, steel and other
material and it looks as if every la
borer in the country will be at work
in thirty days. The mills have used
up their invisible supplies and at pres
ent prices would consume over 49,
900, 900 bales, while the commercial
"rop will be at least 100000 under
that figure.
Notwithstanding the heaviest move
ment on record since October 18th
the market has advanced 50 bale.
Nearly all the members of the New
York and New Orleans Cotton EX-
changes are bulliSh and have large
lines of contracts on the long side, the
sales nearly all hedges against the
purchase Of spot cotton from the
farmers. AS soon as the heavy move
ment is over the mills will buy this
cotton from the merchants and these
hedges will be bought in and will
cause the market to advance gradu-
ally to much higher figures. The bal
ance of this years crop should sell
for 123 cents and l strongly advise
the farmers not to sell another bale
under IL cents unless you have to
meet your obligations.
Another reason we have got to have
higher prices is that cotton cannot be
grown in the boil weevil district for
less than II cents at profit. The
WELD to the acre is not half as much
and the cost of cultivation great
deal more AS this district now COW
ers a territory that produces over
5000, 900 bales. the price will have to
advance or the acreage in the weevi
district will be so greatly reduced as
to raise less than the world needs and
cause extreme high prices as in 1908,
which the Spinners do not want.

COTTON In The FIELDS.

There is a good deal Of cotton In the
fields all over York county, and es-
pecially in the northwestern section.
II have been over a considerable
scope of country during the past few
weeks" remarked a citizen Of Kings
Mountain township in The Enquirer
office yesterday, "and I'll tell you that
there is just lots of cotton that has not
yet been gathered. In some cases the
fields have been picked over once and
in others they are almost white"
And what is the trouble-scarcity
Of labor?" was asked.
mo, there is plenty of labor" was
the reply. l do not know Of any land
owners who have cotton of their own
in the fields-at least there are very
few of them"
1.-The unpicked cotton belongs prin-
cipally to renters who know that they
have already eaten it up at present
prices and who are not inclined to have
anything more to do with it unless the
price goes up. In most cases these
renters claim that they cannot get
their hands together but If the price
would go to 10 or II cents, much of
this cotton would come out in hurry. "

SPECULATIVE MARKET.

Following is a summary of the de-
velopments in the speculative market
Yesterday as sent out from New York
last night:
Today's cotton market was very ac-
tive with March and later months
making new high records for the sea-
son. Later prices reacted partly, how
ever, and the close was barely steady
at a net advance Of to II points.
Sales estimated at $4,000 bales.
The market opened steady at un-
changed prices to a decline of l point
and for the first few minutes ruled
rather irregular owing to lower cables
and uncertainty as to the effect Of the
census report. But as the market fail
ed to yield to bearish efforts owing
to aggressive support from Wall street
bulls demand soon became general and
during the afternoon March sold up to
S.89 or q points above the low level
of last Friday and points above the
previous high record. At this time the
general list showed a net advance OF
IL to II points. Houses WITH Ne" Ut
leans and western connections were ac-
tive buyers on the advance while some
spot people seemed to be selling near
months. There was some scattered
southern selling Of the late positions
and above S95 for the spring months
trading became very heavy, causing a
reaction toward the close. Southern
spot markets officially reported were
unchanged to lie cent higher.
While the census report showed more
cotton ginned to November 1st than
during any Of the previous years for
which records have been kept, the fig
ures were under rather than over To-
cal expectations, and seemed to have no
influence on local estimates Of the crop,
those believing in q moderate yield
maintaining their position by argu-
ments concerning improved ginning
facilities early maturity, abundant
labor and favorable weather.

- Former United States Senator Ed

Former United States Senator Ed
ward Carmack, was shot and killed in
a street duel in Nashville, Tenn, yes
terday by Robin Cooper, young at
torney. Carmack was wounded three
times, in the neck, breast and left
shoulder. Young Cooper was wound
ed in the left shoulder by bullet from
Carmack's revolver. The shooting
grew out of factional politics. Since
Ills retirement from the senate, Car
mack has been editor of the Tennessee
an and has been opposed to faction
of which Col. Duncan Cooper was a
leader. In his editorials he has been
referring vigorously to the alleged ma
chine methods of the Cooper party.
He had been warned that the editorials
must stop; but he continued to write
them. The Coopers, father and son,
met Carmack on the street. Carmack
had just raised his hat to lady when
young Cooper opened fire. The elder
Cooper stood by with a revolver in his
hand, but did not shoot. Carmack
drew his pistol as soon as he could and
fired twice, before he fell dead. Coop
er'S friends claim that Carmack fired
first. Mrs. Eastman, the lady to whom
Carmack had raised his hat, who was
walking down street with her husband,
gave this version of the affair: I'VE
were walking down Seventh avenue
in the direction of Church street and
had just passed the entrance to the
Polk flats. Mr.. Carmack came up the
street towards US, smiling as he rec
OgniZed me. He was some steps away
and there were very few people on the
street. Mr.. Eastman and 1 were near
the edge of the sidewalk and Mr.. Car
mack would have passed between us
and the fence. He raised his hat as
we spoke. He had his right hand up
and was about to make a remark when
somebody said-it was the older voice
we've got you all right or some
thing to that effect. l can't say pos
itively what the exact words were. 1t
never occurred to me that it was any
thing more than friend speaking. Mr..
Carmack raised his eyes, instantly put
on his hat and ran his hand back when
the same voice said: You coward, you
are hiding behind a woman are your
Senator Carmack jumped out so as to
get clear of me and l jumped into a
gateway | saw that Mr. .Carmack had
pistol. l turned and said: For
Gods sake don't shoot l saw Mr..
Carmack wheel and fall in a heap in
the gutter"

the great parties are concerned, which
were current and were accepted in
Wall street before the decision at the
polls.
There were few observers in Wall
street who had not given the advice
that the first after election rise in
prices would be followed almost Ger
tainly by sharp reaction. The in
rush of new demand for stocks, on the
contrary, has been sufficient to sweep
up all selling to realize with a sus-
tanned upward movement of prices.
The news of the week contained
plentiful evidence of the quick move
ment that has occurred towards revival
Of industrial and commercial activity
following the election. The response
in this field apparently exceeds as
much this expectation as does the
market movement of stocks. The ap-
prehension dispelled by the result of
the election was lost sight of in the
consideration of the larger result, that
the minor parties are not source OF
future danger to capital.
The assumption Of more tolerant
public sentiment towards corporations
finds expression in the unconcealed de-
termination of the railroads to secure
higher rates for freight than they have
hitherto enjoyed. The knowledge of a
concerted movement to this end is
credited with large influence on the
animated speculation in stocks which
gained volume as the week progressed.
The enthusiasm of the speculation
owes much, also, to the conviction that
conditions favor a quick recovery to
an extent unusual after financial crises.

THE A. r. SYNOD.

The Associate Reformed Synod OF
the South, convened in its 105th annual
session at Newberry last Thursday and
concluded it's labors yesterday.
The opening sermon was preached
by Rev. ]. A. White Of Blackstock, the
retiring moderator and the delibera-
tions of the meeting were presided
over by Rev. w. H. Miller Of Tennes-
see.
The proceedings generally developed
but very little out of the usual routine;
but all of the reports were satisfactory
and encouraging, and the meeting, on
the whole, was an ideal one.
The Neely's Creek congregation, IN
York county presented a pressing ~
vitation for the next meeting of synod;
but the majority Of the members pre-
ferred Barlow, Fla, which place was
selected.
Rev. S. w. Haddon of Virginia, will
be moderator next year.

peting for the Farmers Union largest
yield prizes and we have decided to do
SO as follows:

to pay s5. For the second best ten
ears we agree to pay SO, and for the
third best ten ears we agree to pay
50. In all cases the prize winning corn
will become our property.
.. The competition for these prizes
is limited to the people who entered
the contest for the Farmers Union
largest yield prizes.
8. Each and every competitor will

- Washington. November 6: In the
opinion of Franklin K. Lane, Interstate
commerce commissioner, the railroad
industrial and financial condition OF
the country is improving rapidly. 1T
is a fact" said he today, hardly be-
lievable, but nevertheless true, that
the total operating revenue per mile OF
railroads for the year ended June 30,
1908. exceeds that of any other year
in the history Of railroading in the
United States, except the one year OF
1907. The average operating revenue
per mile of line per month for the 226,-
900 miles Of railroad reporting to the
was 1894 for the fiscal
year of 1908. This was less by about
SCI than for the year 1907; but 1t was
more than any preceding year and was
$11S per mile per month more than IN
the year of the last presidential elec-
ton. AS 1 predicted a local car short
age even now exists. Conditions are
becoming normal and prosperous.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1908-11-10

4. Each ten ears must be submitted
in a separate package, and along with
them the name of the competitor In a
sealed envelope.
5. The packages Of corn may be
left at The Enquirer office at any time
between November 25 and December l,
and we will undertake to keep them in
safe custody until they are pla ced in
the hands of the judges.
6. The Judges as already announced,
are to be three in number and are to
be appointed by Mr.. j. Frank Ashe,
president of the York County Farmers
Union.
I. The judges are to have no inti-
nation Of the ownership Of the corn on
which they are passing judgment until
after they have come to a decision and
made their awards. The names Of the
winners will then be learned by tear
ing open the envelopes containing said
names.
s. All competing corn that fails to
win a prize will remain the property
of the contestants.
We urge each contestant to especial
ly observe the provisions Of rule four,
which is intended to guard the name
of the competitors until after the
award of the prizes and to insure sub
sequent identification not only Of the
prize corn; but of the corn that does
not win.
