the pest than our people have any idea

the pest than our people have any idea
Of
1t is a fact that although a part Of
these great United States, South Caro-
lima has for many years up to the
past few years. been sadly neglected
at the hands of the national govern
ment. Other sections of the country,
especially the north and west, have re-
ceived numerous and endless govern
ment benefits; but this section has
been put off to the last and Is only
just beginning to taste some of the
good things in the way Of government
aid that rightfully belong to it.
But the fact that we have been neg
lected should not cause our people to
be any the less appreciative.. On the
contrary, 1t is a reason why we should
be all the quicker to take advantage
Of the opportunities that are now COM
ing our way, and we should show that
appreciation by lending our most in
telligent and diligent cooperation to
those who would give us their help.
The eradication of this cattle tick Is
no easy task. On the contrary, 1t Is
quite large undertaking. To accom-
plish it by private or even state eff
fort would be practically impossible.
But the national government has been
engaged in the work for years and
years and has reduced its methods Of
operation to scientific precision.
The one thing that the government
asks for is the hearty cooperation Of
the people interested. If the people
hold back and fail to give that CO.
operation the work will last longer.
If they enter into it with that hearth
ness that is amply justified by pres
ent and future profit, the desired end
will be accomplished in the shortest
possible time.
Every cattle owner in the county
should at once give his best efforts to
the eradication of the cattle tick.

BRYAN THE NOMINEE.
For Third Time Great Nebraskan
Leads Democratic Hosts.

William Jennings Bryan Of Nebras-
ka, has for the third time been chosen
as the Democratic nominee for the
presidency. =
The nomination took place this
morning at $40 o'clock, Denver time.
and at about $50 o'clock eastern time
on the first ballot.
Bryan received 1924 votes, Gray 59i
votes and Johnson 46 votes. New
York cast her 7S votes solid for Bryan.
When the convention was called to
order Tuesday at noon, there were
more than 10000 people in the hall.
The whole atmosphere was filled
with Bryan sentiment from the be-
ginning and this grew stronger and
stronger as the convention grew older.
The opposition to Bryan, such as
there was, was led by Col Guffey, the
Democratic boss Of Pennsylvania; but
Guffey was accompanied by a fight
that led to his undoing. James Kerr,
at the head Of rival delegation, had
the support Of Mr.. Bryan and enough
Of Guffey's delegates from Philadel-
phia were unseated to elect Kerr ma
tional committeeman.
For a time the row between the
Pennsylvania delegates promised to
throw the convention into q turmoil;
but the whole matter was finally COM
promised in way that proved salts
factory to all concerned, and Guffey
was given the place Of national COM
mitteeman.
Judge Parker's Cleveland resolu-
tions were submitted in modified form
and adopted. There had been some
feeling on account of the alleged pur-
pose of Judge Parker, but the whole
matter was settled without serious
friction.
The feature of Wednesdays proceed
ings was the tremendous Bryan dem
onstration, a detailed account Of which
Is given elsewhere.
There was good deal Of hard work
on the platform which was not finally
completed until last night. Mr.. Bryan
Is the author Of 1t, except that he made
concessions to certain elements that
demanded specific recognition.
The permanent organization was
effected yesterday afternoon and af-
ter the speech of Congressman Henry
D. Clayton Of Alabama, the permanent
chairman, the convention was gotten
in shape for nominations.
The nominees were Bryan, Johnson
and Gray. The nominating speeches
and balloting took up most Of the
night, and the outcome stated above
was not reached until an early hour
this morning.
ternoon at o'clock Denver time, s
o'clock eastern time.

Anderson Daily Mail, Tuesday: H
Rudolph Rabens Of Charleston, who
was convicted in his absence at a re-
cent term of criminal court Of Oconee
county Of the charge Of receiving sto-
len goods, and for whom sealed SEN
tence was left with the clerk Of court
of that county this morning walked
into the office of Sheriff, Kay at Wal
halla and surrendered himself. He was
quietly placed in a cell, and the bars
were securely placed behind hlm
Rabens was convicted of receiving the
stolen goods secured by the yeggmen
when they blew open the safe OF the
Courtney Manufacturing company at
Newry several years ago. He was ar
rested on the charge several months
before the case came to trial. and he
was let out on bail Of $4,000. When
the case was called for trial he did
not put in ar appearance. 1t will be
recalled that the reformed safeblow-
er. Mccarthy, testified against Ra-
bens, and upon his testimony verdict
Of guilty was returned. Notice of ap-
peal to the supreme court was given,
and he was let out on 5000 bond,
pending the appeal. The supreme
court confirmed the verdict Of the
lower court. Since then Rabens has
been at large, and the officers of the
state, including Postoftice Inspector
H. T. Gregory and other postoftice in
spectors, have been on the watch for
him. The surrendering act must have
been a prearranged one between Ra-
bens and the officers, for Postoftice
Inspector Gregory was present to re-
ceive him when he entered the sher-
ifs Office Rabens is quite noted
Charleston character. His reputation
extends all over the state, and the ma
jority Of the people of South Carolina
will be interested in his arrest.

others.
Col Johnstone is easily the best
speaker Of the lot. His strong point,
however, seems to be to show up the
opponents inconsistencies to the 9TH
ers. He hit some pretty hard licks all
round and was particularly severe on
Mr. Smith, but it was all in good tenn
per, and without any purpose to leave
sting. Mr.. Evans can hardly be said
to be an attractive speaker; but he
gives one the impression Of being most
earnestly convinced of the fact that
the people will make a serious mistake
If they fail to choose him this time.
Mr. Martin has a well rounded, taking
speech. There Is a good deal Of humor
in it, and some political instructions; !;
but deals very largely with generaliza-
tions. Mr.. Rhett is probably the most
precise speaker in the lot, and the
only one who seems to have been will
ing to risk urging a specific remedy for
the ills he points out. Mr.. Smith Is
IclylHS ldlSely Oll tllC "Olh uC lldo
done In behalf Of the cotton associa-
ton, and promises that II he goes to the
senate he will devote himself principal
ly to the work Of trying to secure for
the cotton producer the fullest returns
from the proceeds Of his labor. All
the others promise the same thing.
Mr.. Lumpkin Is an entertaining and
attractive speaker, and ordinarily is
more at ease before an audience than
most Of the others; but was at q dis
advantage Wednesday,, because of the
impatience Of the audience, it having
been pretty we'll wornout before he
commenced. Mr.. Grace has no diff
Guilty in expressing himself so as to
be clearly understood; but because OF
the unquestionably personal nature OF
his alleged grievance, seems to get
but little sympathy.
Among the people after the meeting
most Of the candidates seemed to find
enough sympathizers to encourage
them to hope that their visit to this
county has not been altogether In
vain.

Broad river has been out Of its banks
twice within the past two weeks.
At a meeting this week, the direc-
tors of the Glover Manufacturing COM
pany declared their usual 10 per cent
dividend.
In some localities Of the county the
cotton crop has been suffering from too
much rain. Taking the county as a
whole, however, conditions are very
good.
Among the applications for registra-
ton certificates so far have been sew
eral young white men who are unable
to read, and who are, therefore unable
to register. Only few negroes have
been registered up to this time; but
it Is expected that many Of them will
apply.
There were no unusual delevopments
in the campaign meeting at Gaffney
yesterday. There was large attend
ance, about the same speeches that
were made here and good order prevail
ed. Mr.. Grace attacked Mr.. Rhett; but
declared that the object Of his race
was not personal enmity. He said that
he hoped to get the Democratic nomi-

AS SEEN In CHEsTER.-The voters Of
Chester county have had their look at
the senatorial candidates, and some
time between now and the fourth
Tuesday in August it will be necessary
for them to decide the momentous
question of who shall be the recipient
of their ballots. All in all, as evidenc-
ed by the joint discussion here, the
seven candidates are an able lot OF
men, and it will require some dis
elimination to make choice. Six of
the candidates are making the race on
their own merits, and they are salts
fed to stand or fall on those merits.
The seventh candidate, Mr.. Grace, can
hardly be called an aspirant for the
senate. His whole aim, apparently,
In entering the race, is to defeat Mr..
Rhett, personal enmity having aris-
en- between the two, and his whole
endeavors are seemingly devoted to
this end He is giving an exhibition
of narrow and partisan politics that
should prove very nauseating to true
Democrats and lovers Of fair play. The
others, however, are good men and
true, and worthy Of the serious atten-
ton of any voter who is anxious to as
sist in sending the right man to the
United States senate.-Chester Re-
porter.

IN the employment Of county en-
gineer under the law passed at the
last session of the general assembly,
York county has made long step for
ward on the road question. This step
of course, means that the county will
have to spend a great deal more mon
ey on the roads than it has been spend
ing; but it will also mean more intel
ligent and more effective work, and
in the end cheaper work, and with
like generous sympathy and
support of the people the era Of good
roads will have commenced.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1908-07-10

So far as Mr.. Rhett is concerned,
his opponents will have to get up
against him better than the
allegation that he is not Democrat,
or show wherein any other man in the
race can lay claim to stronger democ-
racy. There was time maybe, when
large numbers Of voters in this section
could be influenced by an unfounded
slur; but now most Of the people think
and they want to be represented by
men who think. There are other good
men in the senatorial race, besides Mr..
Rhett, but there are no better Demo-
Gratis in ii.

THE SPECULATIVE MARKET.

The developments in the speculative
market yesterday according to a New
York dispatch Of last night, were as
follows.
The cotton market opened steady
at a net advance of IL points on July
on a small order without sellers, and
was no criterion. The later positions
opened at an advance Of 2 to points
which was but a partial response to
an unlocked for improvement at
Liverpool where the market would
have met local requirements by ad-
vancing A 70 6 points yet at the time
of the New York opening stood at an
advance Of to 10 points. The local
traders, however, continue to turn at
tention rather to the favorable show
ing still being maintained by the crop
although here and there the condi-
tions were questioned. The weather
map was generally fine, but there
were official predictions of high tenn
perature which led to some covering
by smaller accounts on the ground
that high temperatures, attended by
dry weather would cause shedding.
The larger shorts refrained from COW
ering and later in the day the market
turned easier with prices In midafter-
closing. Selling was checked here
most Of the day by indications Of an
extended and still increasing long in
terest in October partly against sales
for January and March; the buyers
being to a considerable extent the
owners Of the local stock. Nearing
the close the trading became much
more active and there was quick ad-
vance of to 6 points including both
old and new positions This rally was
started by strong accounts and some
orders from New Orleans. The mar
ket closed very steady at net ad-
vance of to points. Sales estimated
at 1876, 600 bales.
Estimated receipts at the ports to-
day, 4,043 bales. against 4,3S7 last
week and 1851 last year. For the
week $1,000 bales against 55,633 last
week and 1902 last year. Today's
receipts at New Orleans 1852 bales,
against 1876 last year, and at Houston
1,249 bales against 44S last year.

THE platform adopted by the DEM
ocratic national convention at Denver
is thoroughly Democratic. There is
nothing small or narrow about it, and
while it may afford some ground for
difference of opinion as to certain mi
nor matters, it is one on which all
patriotic citizens may stand without
qualification. Mr.. Bryan, Of course,
wrote the platform, and it is we'll cal
culated to place him in a new and
more favorable light before that ele-
ment that has been claiming that he
is dangerously radical. The prospects
for Democratic success have grown
brighter.

Del Rio, Texas, July 8: The area
of territory in which the bands of
Mexican revolutionists are operating
is constantly growing. They are said
to be gathering in bodies Of 800 or
400 at two or three points, but for the
most part they are in small parties of
ten to twenty-five. 1t is evident that
these small bands are endeavoring to
get to some general rendezvous for
the purpose of forming a nucleus OF
an army. They don't attack the gov
ernment troops and rurales except
when cornered. They have made no
raids upon ranches In this section OF
the frontier for several days. but they
seem to be growing in numbers NO
further news has been received mere
of the second fight, with a force of
federal soldiers belonging to Col. Dor
antes' command, Santa Rosa noun

reported that the government troops
are in close pursuit of some Of the
scattered bandits.

1T is being charged throughout the
state that the candidacy Of Mr.. John
P. Grace for the United States senate
is in the interest of Hon. John Gary
Evans. Both Messrs. Grace and Evans
deny that there is any foundation for
the charge. Mr.. Grace insists that he
has no other motive than to show that
Mr.. Rhett is not a Democrat There
are a great many people who cannot
be satisfied with Mr.. Grace's explana-
ton of why he is running" but in
the absence of definite proof it would
be unfair to charge the responsibility
to Mr.. Evans.

IN warning the people against Mr..
Rhett the other day, Mr.. Grace refer
red to the career of John L. McLaurin,
stating how Mr.. McLaurin was elected
as a Democrat, and how except for
his vote the Republican treaty with
Spain could never have been ratified.
From the way Mr.. Grace put it, Mr..
McLaurin was made to appear as
traitor to his party, the idea of the
speaker was to have those present be-
lieve that Mr. Rhett would turn out
the same way.

High Water In Catawba.
Catawba river was about IL feet
above the mean stage at Wright's fer
ry last Sunday. The Enquirer got the
information Wednesday and at that
time the water had not then quite re-
ceded to the mean level. The rise was
occasioned by heavy rains far up the
river.
To Bridge the Broad.
There was a meeting at Gaffney last
Monday to consider the question OF
building a bridge over Broad river al
point near Howel's ferry, between
York and Cherokee counties. Mr. w
S. Wilkerson, recently delegated by
the county board Of commissioners to
do so, represented York county. 1t is
estimated that the proposed bridge
will cost about $1,000, and the idea is
that each county is to pay half. By
means Of the bridge, the people Of low
er Cherokee will be able to do their
trading at Hickory Grove. The Cher
okee commissioners postponed further
consideration without action, and many
of the people in the lower part are in
clined to charge this inaction to hos
tile influences at Gaffney.
The kimbalI-B Bales Affair.
Mr.. Jack Kimball, of Fort Mill, S
c., who was assaulted with a pair OF
brass knucks by Squire Bales, al
Pineville last week, called at the
Chronicle office, Tuesday, to have
the Pineville correspondence straight
ened out. In the first place, he gave
ESQUIRE Bales no greeting as he step
ped from the car, but Bales attacked
him unawares, striking him over the
eye with a pair of brass knucks and
knocking him down, as he, Kimball,
was alighting, grip in one hand and
coat over arm, all unsuspecting an at
tack. He did not draw big knife,
nor did he try to get at a small knlfe
in his pocket. He was arrested but
Bales was permitted to go to the trial
office Of his own accord. He did not
send Bales warning to prepare to be
killed, and made no threat against
him, whatever. Mr.. Kimball says thai
the sentiment Of the people Of Pine
Vile was not in favor OF Esquire
Bales. Furthermore, that this was
the second plot Of Bales to do him
up. He thinks the Pineville cores
pondent gave an unfair and preJu-
diced report Of the occurrence.-Char-
lotte Chronicle.
