THAT was a wise and commendable
Union of York county yesterday in
inaugurating q movement looking to
the development of corn culture in ac-
curdance with the intensive system,
and if the farmers fail to receive the
hearty cooperation of the whole peo-
pie in such a movement. there Will be
cause for disagreed BILE surprise. But
really. we have no idea that there will
level headed business men of this
county, whether farmers or not, have
been preaching for a good many years
that there was no one thing so essen
tial to the prosperity of our great
agricultural interests as largely in
creased production of corn, and when
the representative farmers themselves
endorse this teaching, as they have
done in a way that seems to promise
results so generally desired, it would
seem strange indeed if they should
fail to receive practically unanimous
support That the prize competition
idea is the best that can be adapted to
the end in view there is no question.
The principle has been settled by the
experience and sanction of all time,
and the success of its application to
this particular purpose, has been es-
tablished time and again not only in
South Carolina; but in every corn
raising state in the Union. 1t would
be almost impossible to suggest a
proposition that would furnish oppor
tunity for more general cooperation,
and we are confidently looking not
only for the cash necessary for liber-
al prizes; but general awakening of
interest and enthusiasm that will make
every farmer in York county, big and
little, white and black, take more in
terest in corn production than he has
ever taken before.

The FARMERS, UNION.

The regular monthly meeting Of the
York County Farmers Union was
held in the court house yesterday, and
although there was no special busi-
ness for consideration the attendance
was good and the proceedings were
| full of interest.
Because Of the absence Of Mr.. j.
Frank Ashe, the president, who had to
meet with the county equalization
board of which he is chairman, Mr.. d.
M. Hall, the vice president opened the
Union and presided over the proceed
| ings.
There was nothing in the shape OF
| old business to be disposed of; but
there developed an interesting and in
structive discussion of the question of
corn and pea raising as the outcome
of which unanimous endorsement was
given to a plan to encourage intensive
corn culture by means of substantial
prizes for the largest yields to be made
by members of the Union this fall.
Certain features of the regulations
desired were agreed upon in the meet
ing. Among other things it was de-
cided that every competitor must cul-
tivate not less than two acres to the
plow on the intensive system, and
that the competitors themselves will
furnish at least one hundred dollars of
the prize money by means Of pro rata
assessment on all the entries. 1t was
thought also that business men gen.
orally would be glad to contribute to
the encouragement of such a move
ment, in which event there will be
three prizes instead of two and their
value will be greatly increased.
While the Union was unanimously
in favor of the whole plan Of encour-
aging intensive corn culture and offer-
| ing premiums, it was realized that 1t
would be impracticable to formulate
satisfactory plans in the meeting In
the short time available, and a reso-
luton was adopted providing that
these details be referred to a COM
mittee of three to be selected by the
Injecting.
Before adjournment the president
repeated the announcement heretofore
made to the effect that the feature or
the next regular meeting Of the Union
on Monday, May will be the address
of Miss Mary l.. Nance on the subject
of improving the rural schools OF the
county. On this occasion the doors of
the Union will be wide open and
cordial invitation is extended to the
public to give it's attendance.
There being no further business, the
meeting adjourned.

THE SPECULATIVE MARKET

Yesterdays developments. in the
speculative market are summarized in
an Associated Press dispatch of last
night as follows:
There was sharp decline in the
cotton market during tOdays trading
with the close steady at a net loss Of
II to 10 points. Sales for the day
were estimated at 100000 bales
The market opened steady at de-
cline of 9 points in response to lower
cables, reports that a cotton importing
house of Barcelona was in financial
trouble and better weather over the
belt. There was a slight reaction dur
ing the middle of the morning but
there was no bull support of conse-
uuence and the market showed a gen.
eral declining tendency with May SELL
ing back to the low level of the season.
While July. which had been relatively
firm of late, sold within points of the
low record. Prices rallied only point
or two at the close, although the tone
was Steadier on covering by shorts.
Gloomy reports concerning cotton goods
conditions in Germany were among the
depressing factors, and reports of fur
ther reductions in New England mill
wages aided the decline during the af-
ternOon. The weather was generally
favorable in the south, no precipitation
of importance being reported while
temperatures were SeasOnable, sug-
gesting favorable progress with new
crop preparations. Southern spot
markets officially reported were gen.
orally unchanged but a private wire
from New Orleans said that spots were
easy Estimates for tomorrOw's re-
cciptS were heavier, probably reflect
ing sales of hedged cotton two or three
weeks ago. but exports also ran larger

THE Anderson Daily Mail thinks that
Gov. AnSerS silence in all this contro-
yersv between the Federal and the
state authorities over the dispenSary
settlement has been splendid. ii Is
quite certain that the governor has
been playing IL thinking part" in the
drama. TO what profit he has cogitat-
ed will have to appear before long. II
he had said something definite to the
general assembly when he had that
body in session there might have been
a better face on the situation now as
far as the state of South Carolina Is
oncerned-C'harleStOn Post.
Internationally, no doubt, but this
seems to be unjust.

In the government of this state the
legislative, executive and judicial pow

functions of one of said departments
shall assume to discharge the duties
of the other.

THAT was an interesting point made
nv Mr.. Lyon when he called attention
to the fact that Judge Pritchard al
lowed the whisky people to tie up the
dispensary funds on bond OF only
$4,000 and at the same time requires
a bond of $250,0j0 from the state OF
South Carolina. We try to be reason
able and just in all things, and ac-
cording to our own conception of our
attitude we would not be more ready
to be unjust to Judge Prtichard than
to the winding-up commission. We
are free to say, however, that as we
see it, Judge Pritchard's action smacks
of partisanship, thing of which nc
judge should be guilty.

THE action of the discipline commit
tee in expelling those cadets for their
April fool eScapade is calculated to do
the boys good and increase public res
pect for Clemson. This is so, unless
the discipline committee, the faculty, or
the trustees finally back down and re-
verse the action. OF course, it was
an innocent escapade all right. The
boys really did not mean any harh.
But the only possible way of teach
ing discipline is to enforce it, and un-
less boys are taught To observe the law
at home and at school, they are not
apt To be impressed with the duty of
such observance later on. Clemson
has suffered severely in the past fol-
lack of discipline: but unless she falls
down in the present crisis. she is on Il
fair way to regain her lost prestige t0
the very great advantage of those re-
manning in the institution and to those
who may enter hereafter. And the

Of people in YOrkville yesterday for an

Mr.. J. E. Lowry is entitled to the
credit for the resolution introduced in
the Farmers Union yesterday, with
the result that the Union has under
taken the prosecution of a campaign
for the promotion of the intensive
system of corn culture.
The general public is taking very lit
tie interest in the political situation;
but it should not forget that whether
it takes an interest or not, there will
be those to control the political ma
chinery and to fill the various offices
There is but one way by which the
public can hope to govern itself in ac-
cordance with it's own notion, and that
is by taking an interest in the political
situation.

IT is beginning to look like the peo-
pie of Georgia may reverse their ac-
ton last year in electing HOke Smith
governor by refusing to give that gen
tleman another term. One of Smith
first official acts was to remove JOS
eph NJ. Brown from the office of rail-
road commissioner. Brown is q son
of the late Joe Brown, who was gov
ernor and who could be anything else
that he wanted to be SO far as the
people were concerned, The son is
not the man his father was by good
deal. But he has gone in to beat Smith
and has already made a show of con-
siderable strength. Smith was elected
before largely through Populist sup
port brought about by Thomas f.
Watson. Now Watson is against
Smith and his influence is for Brown.
