SoUTH's GROWTH UNCHECKED.
Where Hard Times In the Cotton In
dustry Had Its Least Effect.

Not only are the cotton mills Of the
south constantly increasing their pro-
portion of the consumption OF the raw
cotton crop, as compared with the mills
of New England and other sections
longer engaged in manufacturing, but
they also make a better showing as to
the number Of spindles in operation.
In the preliminary report OF the United
States census bureau for the cotton
year" ended August 31st it Is shown
that there was an increase Of 565,996 in
the number Of active spindles IN the
cotton producing states as compared
with the year previous, or 81 per cent;
while for all the other states the ag-
gregate spindle increase was 45S,709,
or only 81 per cent. The year just
ended was one Of quite general finan-
cial, industrial and commercial depres-
sion, and the cotton manufacturing
business felt 1t, Of course; yet the cot
ton mill industry Of the south suffered
from it much less than did the much
longer established cotton manufactur-
ing business in other parts Of the coun-
try. There was, for instance, a de-
crease in the consumption Of raw cot
ton in the southern mills, as compared
with the previous year, of 154,389 bales,
or ga per cent. This is to be compared
with a decrease Of 255,11S bales, or go
per cent in the mills Of other sections.
This is remarkable" says President
w. w. Finley Of the Southern railway,
commenting on these comparisons, "in
view of the fact that relatively, larg-
er proportion of the southern mills de-
pends for their normal market on the
North China trade, which was virtually
dead during the entire period covered
by this report. On the whole the sta
tistics furnish additional evidence Of
the superior advantages Of the south
for the location Of cotton mills" When
we consider that the cotton mill indus
try Of New England was already around
the century line of age when the south
ern mills were still in their swaddling
clothes in the decade following the
close Of the war between the states,
the records that they are now making
is all the more remarkable. The souths
industrial growth in forty years Is
nothing short Of marvellous. And this
Is due in no small measure to the in
creasing efforts Of men like President
Finley who not only operate their rail-
road properties for the profits that
these may yield to their owners but
also for the upbuilding and the devel-
opment Of every square foot OF terri
tory through which the lines pass-well
knowing that their own enterprises can
prosper only as the country and the
people prosper. In his Tammany Hall
speech in 1866, more than forty-two
years ago, ben" Hill Of Georgia, Of be-
loved memory, declared to an audience,
some men in which had been off the
battlefields less than a year: "There
was a south Of slavery and secession
that south is dead. There is a south
Of union and freedom-that south,
thank God. is living, breathing, grow
ing every hour!" What would Ben"
Hill say could he return to life and see
her growth today!-New York Com

YORKVILLE. S. c.:
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1908.

AS may be very readily understood, a
man like Mayor Rhett Of Charleston,
can give his time to campaign speaking
except at great personal expense to
himself. Mr.. Rhett is man Of large
affairs, and his affairs cannot go on as
satisfactorily during his absence as
under his personal supervision. But he
is doing most effective work for the
party and he is doing it uncomplain-
ingly. The Enquirer, however, is not
at all surprised. On the contrary, Mr.
Rhett is doing just what we expected
him to do. He is no less in earnest
now than when he was giving the peo-
pie an opportunity to nominate him as
United States senator.

During the trip. Mr.. Lowry called
frequent attention to the absolute
neglect Of the drainage question.
There were places where a furrow
on either side would be sufficient to
make roads good that are otherwise
bound to be bad during the coming
winter; but there was no sign of such
furrow, and there were frequent
deep puddles, notwithstanding the
long time that has elapsed since rain
The road referred to, ran partly
over red clay and partly over sand
Mr.. Lowry several times remarked
how easy it would be to haul the
sand to the clay and the clay to the
sand, and how this, with little ditch
ing and surfacing would make roads
that would be superior to macadam
and at one-tenth the cost.
There is no doubt about the fact
that York is suffering seriously on the
road question, and unless she does
something to improve her condition,
she Is going to lose the high place she
holds in comparison with the other
counties.

WITHIN THE TOWN.

Mr.. ]. S. Mackorell has purchas-
ed Mr.. w. P. Harrison's residence on
Kings Mountain street.
The York Cotton Mills resumed
operations last Tuesday. All of the
local mills with the exception OF the
Lockmore, are now running.
= Mr.. r. E. Heath has moved from
the DR.. ]. D. Mcdowell residence on
Kings Mountain street to the Miss
Maggie McCorkle residence on Lincoln
street.
1t seems to have been made pretty
clear that the telephone people are
unwilling to trust the town of York
Vile: but at the same time they insist
that the town of Yorkville must trust
them implicitly.
- DR.. ]. D. Mcdowell and family, who
have been spending the summer in the
mountains of North Carolina, have re-
turned to Yorkville, and will occupy
their residence on Kings Mountain
street. DR.. Mcdowell expects to re-
sumo the practice of medicine in York
vile.
There were at least one thousand
visitors to Yorkville on account OF
the Gentry Bros show last TuCeuay,
and there were very nearly 1,5OO peo-
pie in the show, maybe more. The
show was very much enjoyed by old
and Young alike. The features were
practically the same as on the occa-
sion of the last visit of the show to
this place several years ago; but there
were several new features that added
to the strength and pleasure OF the
entertainment. There were no sWind-
ling games of any kind in connection
with the show, and no complaints or
pocket picking, short change, or any
thing of that kind so common with the
big circuses. But easily the most no.
ticeable feature of the day was the
remarkably good behavior of the
crowd. There were four extra police
men on duty during the day, and al
though they gave their very best at
tention to their duties, there was not
single arrest during the day. Peo-
pie whose business it was to circulate
through the crowd inside and outside
the big show tent, say they never saw
sign of whisky, and there were no
reports of whisky being on sale during
the day by tigers or others.
- Two right of way cases for the
sewerage line were adjudicated this
week under condemnation proceedings.
One case was that Of the town Of
Yorkville vs.. A. Rose and the other
was that of the town Of Yorkville VS..

huge frame, moving like a ship among
a swarm of tugs, was moving slowly up
the narrow aisle between the two ta-
bles. Bryan turned his head slowly as
his political rival drew near, smiling
slightly The dramatic moment which
had been anticipated with such deep
interest was soon over. Bryan's hand
awaited that of Taft. A single linger-
ing pressure, a word or so which none
could hear because of the tumult and
the Republican leader pushed on to a
chair at the right of Mr.. Hall. In the
first moment after the noise subsided,
Bryan leaning to one side, and smiling
broadly, asked Taft if he had a good
day. This display Of friendliness on
the part of the two candidates stirred
the crowd to renewed cheering. Taft
stroked his throat for answer. Then
Taft laughed and applause increased.
The speeches of Taft and Bryan were
both non partisan.

DOING GOOD WORK FOR BRYAN-.We
are informed that Mayor Rhett's
speaking programme has been so
changed that he will appear in Mary
land, New Jersey, and New York, in
stead of in the west. He will win votes
for Democracy in each Of those states.
Mr. Rhett was against Bryan twelve
years ago, as were thousands Of other
easterners. He, like so many other
bankers and conspicuous business men,
feared Bryan. But Mr.. Rhett Is now a
BRYAN advocate and, from the business
mans standpoint, makes a strong Bry-
an speech. His argument will convince
other bankers and business men Of the
east that their cause for fearing Bryan
has passed, if it ever existed.-The
State.

PARODY ON JUsTICE.-If there ever
was a parody on justice in South Caro-
lint, we see it in the farce Of the trial
at Laurens on Thursday Of ]. Henry
Garrison for the brutal and cowardly
murder Of Louis Williamson, a York
county boy. Here was the case CT a
man who deliberately and without cause
shot to death a most promising young
man in the presence Of the woman who
was soon to be his wife. Yet the jury
calls 1t manslaughter and recommended
him to mercy, and the lenient judge
gives the murderer but two years in the
penitentiary, the maximum under the
law being thirty years. But Of course
that is too long a sentence for a white
citizen Of standing and wealth. Jus
tice in South Carolina is double blind
folded-Rock Hill Record.

ASSET CURRENCY people Of
America pay the highest interest rate
Of any civilized country in the world.
1t is cheaper for the English, the
French and the Germans to buy cotton
and carry it at home than it Is for the
farmer to hold 1t in America.
The reason for this Is that our bank
ing system has gradually drifted to be
most suited to the needs Of Wall street
and not to those Of the people.
We need asset currency and guaran-
teed deposits. Then the farmer may
get money at 4 and per cent as in
Scotland and yet the banks make more
money-Greenville News.

Death of Rev. j. A. McMurray.

Rev. ]. A. McMurray, pastor Of
Woodlawn, Ramah, Blacksburg and
Harmony Presbyterian churches, died
suddenly at his home at Sharon last
Tuesday afternoon. He left the house
to do a little Flowing and after he
had been at work but short time,
one Of his daughters saw him fall.
Suspecting the reason, she gave the
alarm, and as soon as possible he was
removed to the house. He was unable
to speak and died a few minutes af-
forwards. His death was due to heart
disease The funeral took place on
yesterday the services being conduct
ed by Rev. E. E. Gillespie Of York
Vile, assisted by Revs. H. ]. Mills, J.
K. Hall and R. A. Mills Of the Pres
byterian church, and Revs. j. S. Grter
and j. l.. Oates of the Associate Re-
formed church. Mr.. McMurray had
been located at Sharon about three
years, and was SO years of age. His
wife died one year ago. Besides a
brother and two sisters, he leaves six
children, Mrs. A. NJ. Erwin, Misses
Mary, Susie and Mamie and Messrs
John and Henry McMurray. He was
considered a good man and a good
preacher and was held in high esteem
by the congregations he served.
The K. M. Monument.
News and Courier: Rapid progress
is being made in the construction OF
the handsome monument that the ma
tional government is erecting on the
Kings Mountain battlefield in York
county, and it is expected that this fine
memorial to the brave heroes Of the
Revolution who fought in this contest
which proved the turning point to-
wards American independence, will be
completed many weeks before the spe-
Gifted time, which is February 1S,
1909. The monument is to be a very
tall obeliSk, built of granite, and the
plans indicate that it will be one of
the handsomest of its style in the
country. The contract for the erec-
ton of the monument is held by the
Southern Marble and Granite compa-
nv, which commenced work on June
II, 1908. The specifications required
that the work be completed in eight
months from the date of commence
ment. and the contractors are positive
that they will be able to do this.
When the time set for the completion
of the monument arrives the engineer
officer Of the army, stationed in Char-
lesion, will notify the citizens or
Yorkville of this fact and a large
celebration will be arranged for, at
which hundreds of persons from all
over the state and North Carolina will
be present.
