GEO. F. MEEK.

The death of Geo. F. Meek at the printers' home at Colarado Springs, Colo, announced Monday, removed from life a man who had resided in Arizona for nearly thirty years, dur ing which time he was at various times editor and publisher of newspa- pers and in that capacity did much to bring Arizona into public notice.
 Before the year 1890 he published a paper in Nogales; in the year 1890 Meek secured the Tombstone Epitaph, which was then failing and ran 1t in the interest of the republicans dur ing the campaign of that year.
 Later Mir. Meek vent to Florence, where he edited the Florence Tribune for more than a year. Disposing of the Florence paper, Neel. returned to york at his trade and was setting type on the Bisbee Daily Review when the first type setting machine was in stalled in that office. About that time 1t was decided by the owners of the Review to establish 2 paper in Doug

 As a result of the accident which happened to Louis Hakim, the three year-old son of Mir and Mrs. George Hakim, at the Santa Fe station, Un the morning of October 2S, in which the little fellow was run over by a Santa Fe switch engine and had his left leg so badly crushed that ampu- tation above the knee was necessary, the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway company was yesterday mace defendant in suit asking for S25, 900 damages. The suit was filed by Geo. Hakim, the father of the boy, through his attorneys, John w. Wilson and George s.

The latest news from New York is that John D. is still for Taft.

According to the registration of vot- CTS in the state of Nevada this year. that territory has near trebled its population during the last half dozen years. By the last national census the state of Nevada was credited with a population of only 1000, whereas 30,OO0 registered voters were listed by the registration of this year. The new mining districts in Nevada have attracted thousands of people during recent years and the little rotten borough" is fast becoming respect able and substantial state.

STATEHOOD IS
COMING.


 So far as statehood is concerned Mir. Cameron, the newly elected dele gate to congress, will have no oppor- tunity to take part in it's passage in an official capacity. He will probably go to Washington during the eoimng short session of. congress and render what assistance he can in the matter. So far as statehood for Arizona is con, cerned, that was set+led last summer when the republican national conveT, ton adopted a statehood plank which declared for IMMEDIATE admission of Arizona and New Mexico as separ ate states" If the republican party was sincere in making that declara tion the statehood Dill for Arizona will be passed at the coming short session of the sixtieth congress; if the repub lican party intends to keep theil promise to the territories then the election of Ralph Cameron cannot bt regarded as an incident in the gaining of self-government for Arizona. Marl Smith has a statehood bill now before congress and its passage would no require very much time whenever thu republicans are ready to grant justice to Arizona. The republicans have been urged by democrats and repub licans alike to graEt this justice u the people of Arizona for a good man! years. If they grant it now our peo pie will feel grateful for the belate' favor, but they will not forget no should not forget that the republican party and republican leaders were re
 sponsible for the attempt to force Ar zona into joint statehood with Ne'
 Mexico.

IMPORTANT TO THE NEW STATE.

With the passage of the Arizona statehood bill at the coming short ses- sion of the sixtieth congress. the first and most important election in con- nection with the forming of the new state will be that of choosing dele gates to the convention whics will draw up the constitution for the state of Arizona The constitutional con yention will have for its duty the lay ing of the foundation upon which the new state will rest and from which it will be reared. For this duty the ablest men in Arizona should be chosen and in the campaign preced- ing their election the fundamental principles which are to be included in the constitution should be dis cussed and made known by those who seek election to the convention. A constitution which does not follow the desires of the majority of the people might delay statehood by its failure of adoption. The constitution should be a conservative document. one which will leave the people of the i.'n new state as much latitude as pos 'sible in the matter of making laws. It should not contain anything which would have tendency to prevent the investment of capital in the develop ment of our great resources, while at the same time 1t should be a docu ment which would prevent any sem blance of monopoly or extortion or the part of public utility corporations It should provide for every required means of controlling railroads, tele graph. telephone and express com panies; it should provide protection or the means of protection for tn people of the new state against ez tortionate or discriminating railroa charges, either freight or passenger it should provide for iberality i maintaining our already excellent put lie school system; is should provid . for a political system which will pr the greatest power in the hands ( the people and provide a sure and ce tain manner for the exercising ths power in the choosing of candidate and in their final election.
 There will be many important ma ters to decide in the Arizona constit tional convention which when deci ed>wiII make for the good or evil the future government of the ne state and it will be important choose our best men for this inpo tant work.

Walter Rose The right Of way in
volved was over lands between the
northeastern corporate limits Of York
vile and Fishing creek. The Messrs.
Rose were unwilling to donate right Of
way; but preferred to have the matter
settled as the law provides in such
cases. J. S. Brice, Esq, represented
the Messrs. Rose and W. w. Lewis,
| Esq, represented the town. Juries
were summoned for each case. The A.
Rose case was tried on Wednesday and
the Walter Rose case on Thursday
| The case Of A. Rose involved a strip
Of bottom 25 feet wide and 46S feet
long. His witnesses estimated it's value
at from $3.50 to 5000. The witnesses
| for the town estimated the value al
from nothing up to $50. Some Of the
witnesses claimed that the digging OF
the sewerage ditch would be a benefit
because Of under drainage. The jury
allowed the sum Of $136.20. The Wal
ter Rose case involved a strip 25 feet
wide by 1880 feet long. His witnesses
estimated the value at from 1915 to
$780, The witnesses for the town gave
estimates at from $40 to $40 or $780,
Most Of them were in the neighborhood
Of $40. The jury decided that the prop
erty was worth $1S5. The cost OF
drawing the jury, ETC., in the proceed
ing is about SIS in each case. This
must be paid by the town: Mr.. Lewis
in behalf of the town, gave notice OF
appeal in both cases. The appeals will
be heard in the common pleas court as

After the Election,

It is the universal testimony Of those
who have noticed such things, that
there is a general paralysis Of business
at this season during presidential cleo
ton years.
Formerly, it was the custom Of the
politicians to try to make it appear that
the paralysis was due to fear of the
success of the opposing party at the
polls; but that idea has been so gen.
orally exploded that 1t is but seldom
advanced nowadays.
The agitation and strife incident to
the selection of a president Of the
United States necessarily brings about
decentralization that can have no other
result than business paralysis.
Of course, there is considerable diff
ference as to the proposed policies OF
the two parties, especially, with refer
ence to the tariff; but it is very well
understood that there can be no radical
changes in economic conditions, no
matter who may be elected.
People who give careful and intelli-
gent study to the existing political sit
uation are inclined. to arrive at the
conclusion that the country is on the
verge of the demnition bow-wows, no
matter which political party may pre-
vail; but no matter how serious the
situation may look to such students
they may generally find consolation in
the fact that things have ever appeared
thus and that there has been only a
few serious crashes up to this time.
1t is pretty safe to predict that after
the election is over, no matter who may
be elected, the business situation will
straighten itself out and things will
soon begin to move along as they
should

= Chief Justice Pope has signed a

Chief Justice Pope has signed an
order calling upon the managers Of the
proposed Brice Law election in Lau-
rens county to appear before him at
Columbia on Oct. II, and show cause
why they should not be restrained from
holding the said election. The petit
tion upon which the order was secured
sets forth that under the constitution Of
1905 there must be a re- enrolment Of
the voters every ten years and that an
act by the legislature passed March 9Th,
1896, orders the first general re-enroll-
ment under the constitution to be done
in the year 1896 and further provides
that the next enrolment shall be in the
year 1908, thus making two years in
excess Of the time provided by the con-
stitution. The petition sets forth that
the petition upon which the supervisor
ordered the election was not signed by
one fourth Of the qualified electors Of the
county as is provided for and required
by the act Of the legislature Of Feb. 6,
1907, in that the books Of registration
were not open when the petition calling
for the election was filed, hence the
signers Of the petition that was sub
mitted to the supervisor was not sign
ed by any qualified electors according
to the act. The third ground upon
which the order was secured is the al
legation that the supervisor in ordering
the election provides for only one box
in which to deposit the ballots both
for and against"

FRIDAY, OCTOBER g, 1908

sand continues almost to Filbert, but
from Filbert on the character Of the
soil changes from sandy to mulatto and
red, and the lands in the vicinity Of Mr..
Wood including his own, are generally
of this character. Along the route there
was to be seen considerable acreage
Of upland corn, some Of it rather poor;
but most of it much better than has
been seen on the same land for quite a
while. Most Of the cotton was open
and a great deal Of it had been picked
clean, especially between the Ruth
erford road and Filbert.
Mr. Woods farm Is about FIVE miles
northeast of Yorkville. 1t Is a notice
able fact that the crops generally in
his neighborhood are better than over
in the Cotton Belt neighborhood, and
his own crops seem to be just little
better than any Of his neighbors. He
has some cotton, for instance, from
which he is expecting bale and half
to the acre, and Mr.. Lowry was inclin-
ed to think that he will come pretty
near getting it. 1t is Russell cotton and
it is not nearly all open yet. The yield
wild depend on the date of the first
killing frost.
Mr. Woods prize corn patch con-
sists Of two acres. 1t was planted five
feet between rows and inches in the
drill. He used 1900 pounds Of fertil-
izer to the acre-250 pounds Of nitrate
Of soda and the balance cotton seed
meal, acid and kainit. His corn shows
up only one ear to the stalk: but ev-
cry stalk has an ear and the ears are
much larger than those Of either Mr..
Wallace or Mr.. Land. Mr.. Woods did
not know the name Of the variety; but
partly shucked a number Of ears to
show how they were filled out to the
very end. In cultivating he followed
pretty closely the Williamson plan from
start to finish. There are considerable
quantities of grass and peavines be-
tween the rows, enough to make now
ing worth while People who have
seen Mr.. Woods corn and taken the
| trouble to make estimates in accord
ance with the commonly accepted rules,
say he will get not less than eighty
| bushels to the acre.
Mr.. Woods made some experiments
along the line Of the Williamson plan
last year and got yield Of something
| like forty bushels Of corn to the acre.
His prize acres this year are easily
twice as good as his crop Of last year
seemed to promise.
Although all the crops along the
route were fairly good and some of
them unusually good, it is interesting
to note that Mr.. Lowry was not so
much impressed with this fact, as he
was with the number Of neatly painted,
comfortable homes he saw. The editor
Of The Enquirer, being fairly we'll ac-
quainted with the neighborhood, met
with no surprises in that particular.
Mr.. Lowry, however, being more famil-
lar with the country between Guthries.
Vile and Rock Hill, had long been dis
posed to consider that section the real
garden of the county. OF course, he
wouldn't think of saying anything in
disparagement of his own neighbor-
hood; but in passing east from Filbert
over toward the w. J. Gordon place,
and back to the farm Of Mr. Wood,
he could not withhold frequent remarks
about the splendid evidences Of COM
fort and prosperity everywhere appar-
ent.

follows:
The cotton market just about lost

trading, the close being steady at a
net decline of to II points. Sales
were estimated at 125,000 bales.
The market opened steady at de-
cline Of Z to s points and quickly in
creased the loss to matter of 10 to
12 points under liquidation by recent
buyers. southern selling and a renewal
OF local bear pressure. Lower cables than
expected, reports that yesterday
meeting of masters and operatives al
Lancashire had not been productive OF
any favorable result and increasing
uneasiness with reference to the east
ern political situation were the bear
factors in connection with the con-
tinued good weather in the south
There was enough covering to check
the decline, but only slight rallies oc-
Cured and the close was only some

active months. October was relatively
firm in the late trading, rallying
points from the lowest.

York county has gotten the reputa-
tion of having poorer roads than any
of the counties surrounding. And that
is a reputation that will hurt quite Sc
riously unless it Is amended.
The first killing frost Of the sea-
son occurred on Sunday morning of
this week. 1t was not general, but in
some sections of the county peavines
and cotton stalks were blasted black.
The registration books were not open
on Monday of last week, and The En-
quirer was in error in saying they
would be open. Members Of the board
were under the impression that the
books would be open on Monday; but
after looking into the matter and find
ing that it would not give thirty days
until the general election, the books
were not opened. There were about a
hundred disappointed applicants for
certificates.
There is something wrong about the
law fixing a license on travelling shows
That such shows should be taxed there
Is no good ground for question: but to
specify the tax to be paid without spe-
cifying the price to be charged for ad-
mission, does not cover the ground
Take the Gentry Bros, shows for in
stance. In North Carolina where there
is better regulation Of such matters
the price of adult admission was 25
cents. In this state, especially in York
Vile, the price of admission was SO
cents. Such shows care very little for
the license tax, so long as there Is no
regulation Of the price of admission
They can make the people pay the
bills.
Our friends at Glover got the best OF
the telephone people in the franchise
matter, especially in that provision
which makes the franchise subject to
forfeiture for unsatisfactory service
three months after notice. This pro-
vision is not at all satisfactory to the
telephone people. Messrs. Maupin and
Palmer told the Yorkville committee
so. They said that Mr.. Darlington
should never have made such a con-
tract, and that means that our Glover
friends had better watch out. Just
what method the telephone people will
use to readjust this matter, we do not
know. 1t is possible that they might
make the service unsatisfactory for the
purpose of putting an end to the agree
ment They may resort to some other
expedient Anyhow, the situation Is
well worth watching. 1t is possible to
get a temporary advantage Of the tel
ephone people; but to hold that advan-
tage, requires eternal vigilance.

were generally bad. There was hard
