TIE Columbia State of Wednesday
has the following observation on oul
recent remarks with reference to Gov
ernor Ansel and the newspaper
men:
Newspaper men, is a somewhat in
definite designation of those with whom
the governor is said to find himself al
variance, and while such a condition
as the Enquirer describes may exist
we are not conscious of it. Speaking
for ourselves. we are distinctly graft
fed with Gov. AnselS record. He neith-
er invites nor gives condolences. Per-
hapS he takes advice, but we imagine
that when he does, it is because that
advice tends to strengthen his own
hard -thOught-Out conclusions: that il
is taken or not without regard to the
influence or cOnspicuOusness Of the
adviser He strikes us as being inde-
pendent, but not bull-headed; cOnser-
vative, but not timid. He is just-anG
business is a quality Of superlative
value We agree with The Enquirer
that the people can get better ac-
Quainted with Gov. Ansel to their prof
it-nOr will he suffer by their increas-
ed knowledge.
What we said was said advisedly;
but we said about all that we cared
to say. except maybe it is proper thai
we go further and state that we have
not noted any conspicuous editoria
opposition or unfairness to Governor
Ansel except in very few instances
The pen picture that the State draws
of Governor AnSel is true and accur-
ate. and it gives all the reasons why
The Enquirer thinks that the govern
or is entitled to the most loyal sup
port of the people of South Carolina.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1908-03-20

We do not think that there is much
doubt of the fact that American man.
ufacturers are able to turn out cotton
goods of the same quality as cheap as
foreign manufacturers. If this Is true,
the question naturally arises why then
cannot American manufacturers COM
pete with the foreigners in foreign
markets, and the answer at once
brings up the ship subsidy question
in a manner that is difficult to escape
in it's application to our own problems.
Take the South American trade. the
African trade and the Asiatic trade for
instance. American cotton goods have
but little foothold in any of these
quarters, and why? Simply because
the ships of the various countries that
are engaged in cotton manufactures
push the manufactures Of their res
pective countries to the exclusion OF
American manufactures. The only
hope we can see for the development
of a healthy foreign trade in American
cotton goods, is by developing ocean
CARRYING facilities that will compete
with those of the foreigners. In one
way and another, especially where
necessary, the foreign carrying trade is
aided by subsidy. and if we can devel-
op carrying trade in no other way,
we should resort to subsidy too.
1t has been quite common to de-
=
dorsement of the ship subsidy propo-
sition: but the justice Of such denun-
citation we are unable to appreciate.
In the first place, it is not to be denied
that the Republican party has been In
absolute control for good many'years.
It has certainly had the power, as
party to pass ship subsidy bill when
ever it saw proper, and the only rea-
sons we can assign why it has not
done so are that ii either has not de-
sired a ship subsidy bill or it has been
afraid to pass one.
OF course. we may be mistaken; but
as we see it. if congress would under
take to stimulate the development Of
an American merchant marine by
means of a liberal subsidy system, 1t
would not be great while before
there would be lots Of American ves-
sells that would be dependent for the
greater part Of their living on such
trade as they might be able to develop,
and this would result in the placing
of American cotton goods in many
markets that have yet never heard of
them.
And with European and American
mills both finding ready and profitable
markets for all the cotton goods they
can manufacture. it looks to us that
one inevitable result will be sufficient
competitive bidding after raw cotton
to raise the price.

at a time. I am responsible for the
slowing Of the cargo and it is very
hard to plan 1T so that the ship will be
on an even keel when everything Is
aboard. All meats are received froz-
en- and are stored in the refrigerators
in the forward part of the ship. The
temperature Of the refrigerators av-
erages sixteen degrees F., so that ii is
practically impossible for any of the
meat to spoil. The fresh vegetables
are kept at about forty degrees and
these give more trouble than anything
else. 1 am solely responsible for the
condition Of the cargo at all times, so
you can see that it requires very care
full and very frequent Inspections
THE men Of my department are
very careful men. At first they were
inexperienced and could not be de-
pended upon: but now each one has
been assigned to a certain part of the
cargo, and he always calls attention
to any signs of deterioration. The ar
ticles kept in refrigerators are only
issued between 5 a. m. and a. M;
but other stores are issued at any
time from a. IN. to p. IN. 1t is not
unusual for a battleship to send for
fifteen thousand pounds Of beef, twen-
ty thousand pounds of potatoes or
twenty-five thousand pounds of flour
at a time. This is just like whole
sale grocery with a capital Of about
$25O,00O. The candy, cigars, cigar
cites and smoking tobacco which you
notice in the list are carried for issue
to the canteens Of the different ships
and are sold to the enlisted men for
cash.
II understand that great prepara-
tiOns are being made at Callao for oul
reception. An elaborate bull fight has
been arranged I have often wanted
to see a bull fight and game of jail
alai. I saw the jai-alai in Havana a
few months ago, and / suppose I shall
see the bull fight in Callao. l imagine
that one bull fight will be enough to
do me for long time; but | am will
ing to risk it,"

END OF CLUB CONTEST.

All clubmakers and others interest
ed will please take notice that the
club contest now on for the nine quar-
ter leather top Rock Hill buggies and
other premiums, comes to a close on
Saturday, March %, at o'clock p. m.
In previous years the club contest
has closed March IS; but this year the
date was extended to March % adyis-
edly. The value Of the premiums Of
fered is greater and at the time the
offer wa smade, the general business
outlook did not appear so good as dur
ing some years previous.
While the club contest does not come
to close until March %, it is very
we'll for those subscribers who have
not settled to understand that this
limit applies to the clubmakers rather
than to subscribers. All subscriptions
are due and payable from the time the
paper starts and those subscribers
who have not already settled with the
clubmakers should do So at once, in
order that the clubmaker may have
the less trouble in settling with the
publishers.

Ship Subsidy.

That was good point that Con-
gresham Finley made against the Re-
publiCanS the other day when ht
charged them with cowardice in try
ing to get through ship subsidy prop
osition under pretense Of increasing
the efficiency of the postal service;
we endorse all he says along that line
but we are not opposed TO ship sub
Sidy.
Ask any intelligent mill man to eX-
plain the present depressed condition
of the cotton goods market in this
country. as compared with the flour
iShing condition of that market al
over the balance of the world. anC
among other things he will tell you
that the trouble is largely due TO the
fact that our mills have only the
United States for market, whereas
foreign mills have the markets of al
the balance of the world, and there be-
ing no general depression elsewhere
their trade is good.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1908-03-20

THE Enquirer is not inclined to con-
slider the probable price Of cotton next
fall. There are those who talk about
: and cents, and who give plausible
reasons. They may be right and they
may be wrong. At best they are
guessing. But no matter what the
price of cotton next fall, we insist that
everybody will do we'll to make proVis-
ion for plenty of corn. Corn IN the
crib is better than dollars in the bank.
If there are dollars in the bank and no
corn in the crib, the dollars have to
come out of the bank to go after corn.
If there are no dollars and no corn, the
corn must be had anyway. The man
who has cotton but no corn has to sell
his cotton to buy corn; but the man
who has corn and no cotton is still in
pretty good shape. After all corn IS
a much better money crop than it gets
credit for being.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1908-03-20

ONE Of the smallest pieces of con-
temptibleness that has come under
our observation recently, is an intima-
ton that was given currency to the
effect that Judge o. w. Buchanan was
assassinated because of his connection
with the defense of ]. H. Tillman. II
is hardly to be denied that the conduct
and result of the ]. H. Tillman trial
was very we'll calculated to provoke
private vengeance; but the people in
terested on the other side are not the
kind TO operate in any such manner
The death of Judge Buchanan is most
regrettable, especially under the cir
cumstances: but there is no reason tC
believe that it was the result of any
thing else than criminal carelessness
OF n character that is too common. We
have no idea that the party who fired
the shot was dreaming of Judge Buch-
anan at the time or of any other indi-
vidual 1t is sincerely hoped, how
ever that the matter will be probed tc
the very bottom, and if there is any
possibility of Furnishing the guilty in
dividual, we hope that punishment vii
not fail.
