Now that the new hotel is assured,
let US start out to make next year a
convention year for Greenville. The
News will blaze the way by trying to
get the State Press convention 70 meet
here in the summer of 19O9.-Green-
vile News.
1t is all right to try, of course. The
association appreciates the hospitality
implied in such invitations and it is
quite certain that no one can say any
thing against Greenville. But we beg
leave to remind the News that Mr.
Christensen has already been pledging
members to vote for Beaufort and Mr.
De Camp will probably insist on re-
turn TO Gaffney next year as an ac-
acknowledgement of their thorough enjoy
ment of the entertainment his people
are going to give the association next
month.

THE FIDDLERs' CONVENTION.

There was a big audience in the
court house last Friday night on ac-
count Of the Fiddlers' convention. held
under the auspices of the Yorkville
Cornet band, and the occasion was a
great success from every standpoint,
including the important feature of
door receipts, which amounted to
|$151.36.
Some professionals who have been
making business Of getting up these
conventions proposed to the band
people to manage this affair for
them; but after due deliberation
the band people decided to go it on
their own responsibility, and although
they were not without anxiety at
times as to what might be the out
come, now that it's all over, they are
congratulating themselves on their de-
cision in the matter and feeling very
proud Of the generous interest that
the fiddlers, banjoists, dancers and the
people of the town and country have
shown in their undertaking.
The audience was made up of some
thing like four hundred people, proba-
bly, a few more, about half from the
town Of Yorkville, and the remainder
from almost every section Of the coun-
ty. Everybody was in good humor,
entered keenly into the spirit Of the
occasion, and the entire programme
was carried out without n hitch or
without any untoward incident to mar
the pleasure Of any of those present.
The contesting fiddlers were: Frank
Wallace, John Gardner ]. ]. ]. Robin
son, r. ]. Morrow. A. +. PleXico, e.
G. Pursley, S. L. Pursley, B. c. War
rem, VIM. II. Sherrer Bud Stowe. H.
c. Smith, w. d. Moore, w. B. Moore,
G. B. Clinton.
There were only two banjoists:
James Erwin and H. S. Michael.
The dancers were: Frank Wallace,
S. L. Pursley, James Erwin, E. G.
Pursley, Charlie Smith, E. V. Temple
ton, w. M. Wallace and D. M. Hall.
The contestants were introduced by
NJ. B. Jennings. Esq. The fiddlers came
first and each played his best on va
rious old time pieces including Dixie,
Sally Ann, Old Molly Hare, Black
Eyed Susan, Run Niger Run, Ala
bama Heights, Downfall Of Paris, He'll
Broke Loose in Georgia, Sallie Guden,
Old Jimmy Sutton, Yellow Jacket, etc.
The judges were Messrs. w. M.
Stowe, H. l. McCaw and P. w. Love,
and after discriminating considerations
they awarded the prizes as follows:
Fiddle contest-First prize Of S. to B.
c.. Warren, second price of $3.50 to
j. ]. ]. Robinson third prize Of 81 to
Bud Stowe. Dancing cOntest-prize of
50 to E. V. Templeton. Banjo contest
prize of SO to James Erwin.
Mr.. Robert Thompson was over from
Lancaster county and made some good
music with his fiddle; but was not
considered in connection with the
prize awards for the reason that 1t had
been decided to confine the contest to
York county fiddlers.
The band played several enjoyable
pieces during various brief lulls in the
programme, and the members of the
band generally seconded the efficient
executive committee, Messrs. h. u.
Brown, R. H. Dobson and Meek Dick
son in looking after the comfort and
pleasure Of the big audience.

TILLMAN OPPOSES INSTRUCTION
Past Master of South Carolina Politics
Discusses Present Situation.

Senator Tillman, writes the Colum-
bia correspondent of The News ana
Courier, Is still as much opposed to
the idea of instructing delegates as ne
has ever been. He now thinks 1t Will
make but little material difference IN
the result, but, on general principles,
he Is opposed to instructing delegates
from South Carolina because ne
think the delegates this state VIII
elect will be men who can be aD5olutely
trusted. It Is his opinion that II the
delegates from this state were men
who were under the domination or
control of a boss" or If they were
men who could be bought or improp-
erly influenced, then it would be all
right to have instructed delegates; but
with such delegations as are sent
from this state he thinks 1T altogether
wrong to send instructed delegates.
Senator Tillman relates a political
story told by Stephens when he was
running for congress in Georgia, that
in his early days impressed upon him
the importance Of having representa-
tives who could act and think Tor
themselves, and not simply repeaI
what they are told to say. Senator
Tillman thinks that the unit rule
should be adopted, but further than
this he would not go. =,
AS a matter Of fact, he thinks all
this agitation about instructing or not
instructing delegates is "moonshlne
or "fox-fire." He thinks there Is noun
ing whatever in it and that the people
are not interested in 1t. 1t Is his opin-
ion that Mr.. Bryan will be nominated,
and he Is strongly Of the opinion that
Bryan will be elected unless Roosevelt
should be renominated. He thinks
BRYAN can beat any other man than
Roosevelt in the Republican party
and If the Democrats could get a
Cleveland, not Mr.. Cleveland in per-
son, but a man who stood FOR the
same thing, and could command the
support that Cleveland does, II
would be a shame to take the money
the way such a candidate would run
away with the race and be elected TO
the presidency.
Senator Tillman insists that he is
not worrying about politics, but that
his chief and sole thought now Is 10
get we'll and to perfect his plans FOR
leaving Boston with Mrs. Ttllman ana
DR.. Babcock on the 18th instant LOT
Europe, but he seems to keep up very
well with affairs in this state as well
as in national politics.
Senator B. r. Tillman blew into CO.
lumbia last night. The expression
blew in is exactly right. He was not
expected here, and when he arrived
at the home of his kinsman, Capt. j.
w. Bunch, it surprised every one. -,
Senator Tillman is looking as we'll
as he ever did, in fact he looks just a
little stronger than usual. He seems
TO be in the very best of humor and
his sole topic Of conversation Is his
European trip.
He expects to be in Washington
three or four days before going to
Boston, from which point he sails, but
he does not expect to attend to any
official business while there.

UNFAIR CRITICISM.-A cotton mill
man was today asked whether mill in
terests were yet looking up any. He
said:
There is no perceptible revival but
the dropping tendency seems to be
losing it's force. The mill men are
making a brave fight and have made
much sacrifice 10 keep the wheels
turning and the operatives employed y
Continuing he said: THE criticism
of the cotton mills for the discussion
of Il plan to curtail production to
scotch falling prices is wholly unfair
to the mills. No mill man wants to
shut down his mill and would in no
case do so if he could make ends
meet If more cloth and yarn is be-
ing produced than the world will buy
then continued running at full time
means cut-throat competition and the
continued lowering of prices. not on
~ of cotton goods but of cotton.
THE business interests Of the coun-
try have been well-nigh criticised to
death. sympathetic support of in
dustral interests from the public
would do much TO restore confidence
and prices. GrOundless criticism him
derS and delays recovery of CONNER
cial movement on normal lines. The
public press can do great deal by
helping to stop agitation and criticism

- Columbia May IL: The state
dispenSary committee at meeting
this afternoon on the advice of attor-
neys Of the commission, decided to
comply with the recent modified or
der of Judge Pritchard and to give
the bond of $4,000 named In that
order granting a supersedeas on that
condition. 1t will be recalled that in
the original order signed by Judge
Pritchard. a bond Of $25O,OOO was re-
quired, and also that the commission
deposit with the court the collateral
held by the commission as security
for the money deposited in the va
riOus banks Of South Carolina, but
last week Judge Pritchard modified
his order and reduced the bond to
$4,000 and struck out the require
ment as to the collateral. AS it will
take several months to get the case
before the United States supreme
court it was thought best to comply
with this modified order, inasmuch as
the attorneys consider that nothing
is to be lost thereby. The bond was
executed this afternoon, the entire
amount being taken by the United
States Fidelity and Guaranty COM
pany, through its Columbia agent. 1t
was desired to place the whole
amount in one company for purposes
of convenience.

THE Enquirer has never tried to
claim anything else than that county
dispensaries would be as much of a
failure as the state dispensary, except
on a smaller scale. 1t is only matter
of quantity instead of quality. AL
ready evidence of crookedness has de-
veloped in some of the county dispen-
saries and there will be more and
more. The state has no business in
the liquor business; the county has no
business in the liquor business; no.

ONE of the many reasons for the bull
movement in cotton during the past
few days is that foreign stocks are
running low, and Liverpool fears a
squeeze before the new crop begins to
come in. However this may be, there
seems to be but little question OF the
fact that the farmers Of the south can
exercise complete control of the situa-
ton if they will only stand firm and
refuse to be tempted by trifling ad-
vances of only a few points each. In
all the few years that the farmers
have been taking notice, they have
never had the situation so fully and
completely within their power. How
ever, they are much like the elephant
with regard to the man on his back.
1t does not comprehend its tremendous
power compared with the insignificant
power of the man.

ure of the proposition are brought face
to face with facts from which there is
no escape. That the book is strong
one is not to be denied: but as to
whether there is any real need for it
is matter of doubt. We hardly think
there is any occasion for it in the
south, and the north will likely give it
but Scant attention.

Homo Raised Mules.
Mr.. D.. M. Hall of Yorkville No. l,
has the record of having raised more
than thirty head of horses and mules
during the thirty years he has been
established as a farmer. There are
but few farmers in South Carolina who
can make a similar claim. The census
of 1900 shows that only 2,629 horses
and mules were foaled in the entire
state that year.
Communion at Bethesda.
Last Sunday was the occasion OF
the annual spring communion at Be-
thesda. Rev. j. K. Hall was assisted
by Rev. j. NJ. Holiday of Winnsboro,
Friday. The attendance was good at
all the services and on Sunday there
was the usual tremendous crowd from
all the country surrounding as far
away as Chester, Rock Hill and York
Vile. The ladies of the congregation
provided dinner and there was plenty
for everybody.
Fine Field of Corn.
People who attended the spring
communion meeting at Bethesda last
Sunday noted an unusually fine field
of corn on the r. A. Crawford OLD
place which now belongs to Mr.. Rob-
ert Witherspoon. There are six or
eight acres in the field and the corn Is
eight to ten inches high. There are
evidences that the ground was well
prepared and the crop is in fine condl-
ton. So far as anybody who knows
the field has been able to inform the
reporter, it has never been planted in
corn before. AS to whether Mr. With
erspUon has his eye on the corn prlzes'
has not yet been reported.

of one. The proposition made by the
Winthrop board through it's committee
was to buy the property of the ROCK
Hill High school at the price Of $4,000,
with no conditions attached. This
proposition was opposed by three OF
the trustees of the district and cham
pioned by the remaining four. Win
throp college will remodel the present
