The roads are said to have improved
somewhat during the past few days
from natural causes. But they are still
rough enough and fertilizers must soon
begin to move.
Yes, why not have a law requiring
the purchaser Of contraband liquor to
tell where he gets it? If we are going
to have law against the sale Of liquor,
let us have all possible statutory as
sistance in its enforcement.
Senator Brice and Representative
Epps have introduced bills, one In the
house and the other in the senate to
prohibit cock fighting. There are a
good many cock fighters in this county
and also a strong sentiment against
the diversion. But will the legislature
pass such a bill? We think it ought to;
but we are not looking for anything OF
the kind.
We are Glad to see that the Rock Hill
veterans do not take much stock In the
proposed Confederate home. Some-
how we do not see much practical BEN
eft in the idea-not for the veterans.
OF course, we would not be understood
as desiring to deny the veterans any
thing that they want. The state owes
them a debt that can never be diF-
charged so long as one Of them Is left.
But the home scheme we fear, Is an
idea Of others, not the veterans, and we
fear also that the veterans are not the
principal consideration in the matter.

the best price Of which The Enquirer

composed Of Misses Maggie Gist and

THE SPECULATIVE MARKET.

An Associated Press dispatch Of last
night from New York reviewed the
days development in the speculative
cotton market as follows:
An early advance on bullish census
figures was followed by a very severe
break in the cotton market today. The
close was steady but at a net loss Of
II to 20 points. Sales were estimated
at 100000 bales.
The market opened firm at an ad-
vance Of II to Is points with March
selling at 11.55 and May at 11.68 during
the first few minutes on covering and
scattered buying which was promoted
by the census report showing only
10,337, 7,607 bales ginned to January 10
against 12,176,199 last year. But there
was no sign of support from the bull
leaders. On the contrary these inter-
ests were believed to be selling and the
market soon eased under more general
realizing and local bear pressure. Al
ter a nervous and irregular middle
session, the market became sensation
ally weak with March selling on to
.15 and May to 11.21 or 40 to AZ points
under the high figures of the morning,
22 to 81 points below the closing prices
Of last night and 58 to so points under
the high level of last Monday. SeiiihS
was generally on the decline which
caught large stop orders and was ac.
companied by rumors that the bull
clique had not only liquidated long lines
but had assumed bearish position on
the market. The close was steadied
by covering, and last prices were a lit
tie up from the lowest. Local statisti-
clans claimed that the census figures
could not be used as a basis for crop
estimates Of over 11,75O,OO0 bales:
Receipts at the ports today 5O,o5s
bales against 54,741 last week ana 40, TO-
397 last wear. For the week 225,0O0
bales against 253,322 last week and
299,135 last year. Today's receipts at
New orleans 8,S79 bales against 1887
last year, and at Houston 1923 bales
against 6,839 last year.

ONE Of the many propositions that
we are unable to understand is why
the cotton producers Of the south do
not take effective steps to secure the
baling of their products in neater and
more substantial packages. The sub
iect is one which, it seems to us
should appeal strongly to the intelli-
gence of every individual. Say, you
cotton producer, suppose you should
go into a store to buy yarn and the
merchant should pull down a package
that had been bedraggled with dirt on
the outside and torn open in two or
three places, would it not at once oc-
cur 10 you that the merchant should
give YOU something off on account or
the quality? Many of you have seen
the dilapidated condition of your cot
ton bales when they reach the local
mills, and from these it is not diff
cult to imagine what they would look
like If they had been taken to Liver
pool instead. American cotton bales
frequently arrive in Liverpool with
only few strips of the ragged
bagging in which they were origi-
nally shipped. and losing handfuls
of cotton every time they are moved.
Even a strong wind is likely to blow
several pounds Of cotton from them
Is it any wonder then, that so much
is charged against the farmer for
tare? Egyptian cotton reaches Liver
pool in as good shape as does chest
of tea or a can of salmon. Except for
familiarity with the packing, one
would hardly know what package
of Egyptian cotton was. And If they
only would. American producers
could change all this to their tremen-
dous advantage. All they would have
TO do would be to put low grades of
cotton into a good strong cotton bag
ging. The result would be to improve
the cotton market by creating a new
and important use for low grade cot
ton and then, by reason of a better

WILD HOGS.

That a large section Of country sew
en- or eight miles southwest or YORK
Vile was once infested by wild hogs,
and that no more than forty years ago,
Is a piece Of interesting information
that the reporter picked up yesterday
from Mr.. John T. Latham, promin-
ent citizen of the neighborhood ndl-
Gated.
Mr.. Latham was In Yorkville to
have some cotton ginned and dropped
into The Enquirer office to pay MS
subscription While chatting with the
writer Of this, his eye fell upon curV-
ed bit of ivory about six inches long
that hangs to a nail on the wall, and
instead of asking what 1t was, as do
nine people out Of ten who happen 10
see 1t, he recognized 1t as the tusk OF
a wild boar This is what suggested
the subject. ,o.,,
in our country" said Mr.. Latham.
"When 1 first moved to where l live
now along about 1861, the woods were
full of wild hogs. 1 don't think l eX-
aggerate when l say there were num-
dreds of them.
genuine wild hogs?" the reporter
asked
II cant say about that" Mr.. Latham
u, L
have been from some wild stock or
they may have been descended from
tame stock that had strayed in years
gone by; but the old people OF that
day could not tell you anything more
than that the hogs had been in the
neighborhood ever since they were
able to remember and that they had
never heard of anybody else having
said otherwise.
But you need not have any doubt
about the hogs being wild all right
as wild as rabbits, and they were dan
gerous too. When you met the beasts
in the woods it was safe to climb
tree If you could not get out of the
way otherwise.
1.-THE hogs usually roamed about in
packs, litters kept together l suppose.
Sometimes there were five or six IN a
pack and sometimes fifteen or twenty.
On one occasion / was out 'possum
hunting with a negro, when we sud-
denly ran upon a pack Of these hogs.
The dog bayed them and they started
after it, The dog turned and ran, the
hogs following our way, and we de-
cided to take to trees. l ran up sap
ling. The negro was an old fellow VINO
could not climb very well; but he
managed to get up a tree that had fall
en- across the DIdnCn at d pLetIS
steep incline. After a while the hogs
came back and stood guard around us
for some minutes until the leader
gave q loud grunt and the whole pack
followed him off. AS soon as we were
able to make up our minds that IL
would be safe, we got down out of the
trees and we lost no time In getting
out of the neighborhood, either"
Mr.. Latham said that he had known
people to catch the hogs In traps and
try to fatten them; but they would not

POSTING LATE TRA1Ns.-An important
bill relating to posting delayed trains
went through the house Tuesday
without any discussion. This bill was
introduced by Mr.. Douglass Of Ches-
terfield, one Of the most quiet men In
the house. 1t amends section 2,170 OF
the code and requires roads to post
delayed trains every Is minutes In
stead Of 30 minutes, and increases the
penalty from $50 to 500.
The bill in substance Is as follows:
Whenever any passenger train on
any railroad in this state shall be
more than one-quarter Of one hour
behind its schedule time 1t shall be
the duty Of such railroad company to
keep posted at every telegraph station
along its line, when a telegraph oper-
ator is on duty at such station, the
time such train Is behind its schedule,
and shall change such bulletin every
quarter-hour until such train arrives,
stating therein the time which such
train is behind and the hour at which
It is expected to arrive: Provided,
that such bulletins shall not be re-
quired to be posted at any station un-
til one-Quarter-hour before the regu-
lar schedule time at which such train
is to arrive at the station at which
such bulletin Is required to be kept"
