RY THE PEOPLE ONLY.

A petition is being circulated in
Yorkville looking to securing an
amendment to the town charter so as
to provide that, hereafter franchises
may be granted only by the consent of
a majority of the qualified voters.
The proposition originated with the
citizens committee having in charge
the telephone franchise now under
consideration, and its object is to pro-
vide for the satisfactory settlement OF
this and similar situations that may
arise in the future.
The proceedings referred to are be-
ing taken under Act No. AZ Of the XIII
statutes, which prescribes the manner
in which towns may amend their
charters.
Yorkville, like most other towns in
the state, exercises its municipal au-
thority under what is known as the
General Incorporation Act" which
was framed with the idea of relieving
the general assembly of the trouble and
annoyance incident to enacting special
charters for each particular town In
the state While all charters are nee
essarily similar in many important
respects, it was recognized that there
would be cases where towns would de-
sire to change some of the provisions
of any general law that might be en-
acted, and to facilitate this, 1t was
provided that upon a petition signed
by a majority of the freeholders, the
town council should call an election In
which the qualified voters might pass
upon any specified amendment.
The freeholders who sign the petit
ton now being circulated, are asking
the town council to call an election on
the question of amending the charter
so that hereafter no franchise may be
granted until the people shall have
passed upon it in an election. If a
majority of the freeholders sign the Pc
titiOn, the council will at once call the
election and if majority of the voters
so indicate their desire, the charter will
be amended as described.

FINE KElFER PEARS.

Mr.. John w. GLADDEN. of Bethesda
township. was in Yorkville yesterday
and left at The Enquirer office hall
dozen Keifer pears, taken from his Or
chard about four miles south Of Guth-
riesville.
The pears weigh from a pound anG
a quarter to a pound and three-q
ters each, and contrary to the genera
reputation Of the Keifer, are yellow
smooth, ripe and delicious to eat.
These pears" Mr.. GLADDEN. explain
ed, ARE raised on a sandy soil. Tha
is why they are 50 smooth and yellow
Keifer does not do so we'll in a red soil
1t is rougher, and does not mellow as
readily and does not have as good g
flavor"
Continuing, Mr. GLADDEN. said he has
about five hundred Keifer pear trees
They are from three to ten years old
and while all Of the trees are not wei
fruited, the crop this year Is pretty
satisfactory. Some of the trees have
about four or five bushels Of pears or
them.
Asked as to what he would do with
the product of his orchard, Mr.. Glad
den said that he was having no trouble
to dispose Of his pears at a dollar 6
bushel right there in the neighborhood
and he thought he could ship them a.
even a better price. my neighbor
Mr.. S. c.. Wilson, started a man t
Rock Hill the other day with six ol
seven bushels Of pears, but he never
did get there. The people bought them
on the way"
Mr.. GLADDEN. says he was induced tC
commence planting his orchard some
ten years ago, because Of the difficulty
of getting satisfactory labor He has
been very well satisfied with the re-
suit so far and is expecting still bet
ter returns later on.

IF the voters of the south will add
an average of about 10 cents each to
their votes, there is every reason to
hope for the election Of Mr. Bryan 10
the presidency The principal thing
needed is money. 1t is true that Mr..
Bryan was defeated in 1896 and again
in 1900: but no one need take discour-
agement from these circumstances.
Except for the split in the Democratic
party in 1896, Mr.. Bryan would GER
tainly have been elected. Palmer and
Buckner got only a small per cent OF
the Democratic votes that were cast
against Bryan that year In 1900, Bry-
an was handicapped by the defeat of
1896 and also by the fact that pros
perity had again begun to smile on the
land. But now the Republicans are
badly split in almost every Republican
state, and the Democrats are working
together more harmoniously than they
have worked at any time previously
since the war. A great many good
Democrats were honestly opposed to
the nomination of Bryan. They thought
that John Johnson was the man; but
practically every one of these is follow
ing the lead of John Johnson in work.
ing for Bryan and Bryan himself is
making a campaign that no other liv-
ing man would be able to make. 1t
certainly looks like Bryan is going to
win. If the voters of the south will
only come along with their dollars,
they will make Democratic victory GER
