AN IMPORTANT CONFERENCE.

James J. Hill of the Great North
ern Railroad will make one of the
leading addresses at the White House
conference of governors in May, on
the conservation of natural resources.
In accepting the invitation to attend
the conference, Mr.. Hill says in
letter just received by President
Roosevelt: ,4-
''The people of this country
have failed to appreciate the ra-
pidity with which they are CON
suming what was probably the
most noble heritage of natural
resources to be found in any
country. The greatest founda-
ton of value and, might say,
of life itself, is in the fertility of
the soil, and this is being wasted
as recklessly and rapidly as any
of the others

distinguished citizens who have been

the evening of May 12. The session
will begin the following morning
The plan is to hold two sessions a

He was on his way to church, and met
a couple going to his house to be mar

tied the knot right there. The con-
tracing parties were Miss Emma Wal

was decided, that these dollars, here
after, provided the jurors feel disposed
to keep up the practice already estab-
lished Of giving them to the chapter,
will be used in keeping up the monu-

to maintain for daughters Of Confed-

SUPERINTENDENT COUNTY HOME

At the annual meeting Of the county
board on last Tuesday, Mr.. Brown
Gaulden rendered his resignation as
superintendent Of the county home, and
Mr.. j. B. Stephenson Of Bullocks
Creek township was unanimously
elected in his stead.
The Enquirer was not represented
at the annual meeting Of the county
board for the reason that it was sup
posed that the meeting was solely for
the passing upon accounts. The
first intimation of developments In the
county home matter came through in
quiries from parties interested in per-
son and over the telephone.
Inquiry Of the clerk Of the board de-
veloped that there was nothing on the
minutes with reference to the county
home matter, and on yesterday our
representative asked Supervisor Boyd
for further information. He stated
that it was a fact that Mr.. Gaulden had
resigned and that Mr.. Stephenson had
been elected in his stead.
From what Mr.. Boyd said, 1t seems
that Mr.. Gaulden made up his mind
that he would have no more peace in
the position and that he may as well
give 1t up. He was unwilling, however,
to put himself in the position OF con-
Tossing guilt to the charges made by
the grand jury and purposely deferred
his resignation beyond the thirty days
allowed by that body
Mr.. Stephenson. the newly elected
superintendent is to take charge
as soon as possible, probably during
this week, and Mr.. Gaulden Is to re-
main for about two weeks in order to
give Mr. Stephenson as much help as
possible in taking hold.
Mr.. Gaulden's compensation was $500
4 year and the right to occupy the
county home house, and Mr., Stephen
sons compensation is to be the same.

Taxation For Roads.

While resolutions will not build
roads any more effectively than any
other kind Of talk, still the action of
the Farmers Union Of York county IN
putting itself on record in favor OF
building roads by taxation is, to say
the least. gratifying.
There is no use trying to deny the
fact that this country has all along
been in a very childish attitude as to
the road question. The people gener-
ally are agreed as to the necessity of
better roads, and theoretically at least,
they have very intelligent and COM
prehensive idea of the benefits that are
reasonably to be expected by proper
effort in this direction; but all the while
they have been in the position Of wait
ing for this work to be done in some
strange and ineXplainable way with
out cost or inconvenience.
The resolutions adopted yesterday
seemed to indicate that there is COM
plete comprehension of the situation,
and whether those resolutions ever
count for anything or not, 1t must be
admitted that they are at least frank
and honest. And it is reasonable to
assume also that people who are frank
and honest enough to make such a
confession as that do not intend to al
low the discreditable conditions they
have admitted against themselves to
continue-nOt if they can help it.
We do not think there is any doubt
Of the fact that the way to build roads
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1908-01-07

;s nv property taxation. 1t will be
we'll, of course, to supplement the prop
erty tax with per capita tax; but
this communication business will never
amount to much. Where there Is an
option OF working or paying, a large
per cent Of the people will always man
age to get out of doing either, and
laws Of this kind will never prove of
much practical benefit.
We have said it before and we say it
again, that we believe the best way of
going at this thing is by issuing bonds.
A two or three mill road tax will help
some. 1t will be much better than
nothing; but that plan is too slow.
Deterioration will be almost as rapid
as progress and in the end the expense
will be much greater. With county
bond issue, equitably divided among
the townships, vast amount Of per-
manent work can be done almost at
once and the charge for interest need
rot be much heavier than the annual
loss occasioned by the other slower and
more unsatisfactory method.
But whether anything is done soon,
or not, it is certainly gratifying to
know that the farmers of the country
are willing to take such an advanced
position on this all important question
With the farmers in the lead like this,
the lawmakers will eventually take up
the subject and deal with it as IT
should be dealt with-broadly, intelli-
gently and firmly.

New York, January 4: Police Com
missioner Bingham, in his annual re-
port, submitted to Mayor Mcclellan
today, takes occasion to score "schem-
ing" and crooked" politicians, and
point out the difficulties encountered by
the police department in enforcing the
law. After recommending that the
tenure Of office of the police commits
sioner should be prolonged, General
Bingham says: "Lawbreaking is. the
easiest business and the most lucra-
tive, for the work involved Of any
business now conducted in New York
It's profits for slight effort are .enor-
nous, and lawbreaking has been able
to intrench itself behind such q ram
part of legislation and highly paid law
yers that the forces Of law and order
are placed in the astonishing position
of being actually on the defensive as
against the lawbreakers. These law
breakers and their highly paid lawyers
are so ingenious and resourceful that
they many times fool even the courts
into giving them protection against
the police on the ground of illegal in
reference or oppression. The howl Of
innocence is never so loud and pierre
ing as when raised by crooks, and this
includes not only the actual criminals,
but their friends and protectors, the
crooked politicians"

THE FARMERS UNION.

The regular monthly meeting Of the
York County Farmers Union, was
held in the court house yesterday, with
nearly all of the local unions repre-
sented and the president, Mr.. ]. Frank
Ashe in the chair.
The session was devoted mainly to
the discussion Of several important
subjects, including roads, fertilizers,
and the lien law which came up in the
form of resolutions, and there were
some very interesting debates that
would be we'll worth publication, and
Of which a full outline would be given
except for the fact that this part of
the proceedings is not supposed to be-
long to the public.
The first item of business taken up
was the consideration Of a set of reso-
lutions coming up from Cotton Belt
Union. and presented by committee
consisting Of ]. d. Land, D. C. Clark
and L. L. Smith. These resolutions
provoked considerable discussion, and
were finally adopted as follows:
Whereas the condition of the public
roads of this country has been a re-
proach to us during generations past,
and whereas we have continued to suf-
fer this reproach year in and year out
without ever making 50 much as an
honest attempt to relieve ourselves Of
1t, and whereas we realize and appre-
ciate that such an attitude on our part
Is not only a humiliation to us, but
that it will continue such to those
who come after us, therefore to the end
that we may feel that we are trying to
do something to relieve ourselves Of
this discredit and humiliation, and at
the same time secure greater comfort
and convenience for ourselves and our
children after u.s. be 1t resolved, by the
Farmers Union Of York county.

TO SUBSCRIBERS.

The work Of revising the subscrlp-
ton list Of The Enquirer, was COM
pleted this morning as thoroughly as
has been practicable in the limited time
that 1t has been available for the pur-
pose. ...
The purpose of the revision was to
take out every unreturned subscription
expiring up to and including January
Sd, and If any have been omitted 1t has
been purely matter Of oversight.
That some mistakes have been made
we do not doubt. In some cases the
subscribers have failed to return their
names. In others the clubmakers have
failed to report, and in still other cases
the mistakes may have been in this Of
flee.
Where the subscriber does not want
the paper for another year, it is all
right that his name has been removed
Where there has been any kind Of a
mistake, whether on the part OF. the
subscriber, the ciubmaker or this office
the best thing for all concerned is to
look into the matter as soon as possi-
hle -
