EIvey & HuIett's Drug Store Calls At tention to Its Christmas Stock in Pleasing Way.

Elvey and Hulett are just now dis tributing among their friends a calen- dar for 1909 that not only serves the purpose of advertising the store but gives the favored one an art study that Is well worth preserving. It is a pic ture entitled Florence by Abbey Alison and is a beautiful reproduction of a woman's head and bust, delicately tinted both in the figure itself and particularly so in the appropriate background.
 Alison was born in Yorkshire, En- gland, in 1871 going to Australia with his family at the age of IA. He com menced his art career with a course in the National Galleries at Melbourne under Professor Folurgsh. soon win ming gold medal and the travelling scholarship awarded only for preemi- nent ability. He then went to Paris where he studied under Laurens. Courtois and Blanc. one of his pictures gaining honorable mention at the Paris salon of 1893. He now resides ia Lon don and his pictures are a great at traction of the Royal Academy. Flor ence" is an ideal head painted with all the innate grace which has made the artist so highly esteemed by con noisseurs and critics.
 Incidentally the distribution of these pictures enables Elvey and Hulett to call a little special attention to the fine stock of Christmas goods that it is offereing this year to the holiday trade. The calendars are for their pa irons any how but if the distribution calls attention to the store in general it will do the firm no harm and the firm believes it will be a good thing for it's patrons

WITHIN THE TOWN.

The Trinity congregation has in
stalled a splendid new furnace that
promises to heat the church most sat-
isfactorily
- Superintendent Of Education Nc
Mackin has moved into the residence
on South Congress street, just vacated
by Mrs. jamie Parish who has moved
to Lancaster, with the intention of
making that place her future home.
After more careful deliberation
over the matter, the citizens commit
tee having charge Of the telephone
matter, has decided that the recently
signed petition asking the town coun-
ell not to grant any kind Of fran
chise except upon a vote Of the peo-
pie, goes a little too far The commit
tee concludes that 1t may be very well
to leave in the charter authority to
grant short time franchises. The
original petition, therefore has been
tiOn be held on the question Of amend
ing the charter so as to restrict the
granting Of franchises for a longer
period than two years except upon
vote of the people. The amended petit
ton is now being circulated among the
signers Of the original petition, and the
understanding is that it will be pre-
sented to the town council at meet
ing Of that body to be held on Novem-
ber 20. In the meantime, petition Is
in circulation asking the council to
grant a twenty year franchise to the
company on a guarantee by the COM
pany of reasonable charges for phone
rent

We're estimated at 251,000 bales.
The market opened steady at a de-

early session sold off to a net loss Of
to 6 points under q renewal of local

ton which was promoted by diSappOint-

ring with buying orders for blocks

WE hope something will come Of
that proposition to establish an agri-
cultural school in each county of the
state. 1t is difficult to conceive Of an
educational enterprise that seems to
promise more for the future welfare Of
the state. Clemson has it's faults, Of
course. and the institution could prob
ably be reorganiZed on a better and
more satisfactory basis; but there is
no denying the fact that Clemson has
already done much for South Carolina.
This state is right now in fair way
to become one of the leading agricul-
tural states of the Union, and there is
no estimating the influence that Glenn
son has exercised to that end. With
good agricultural school in each coun-
ty to educate the local boys as far as
they may be able to go, to assist the
local farmers and to serve as a feeder
for Clemson. the agricultural progress
Of the state will soon be stimulated be-
yond measure. 1t is possible that some
of the counties may think that they
are not able to maintain such school;
but so far as York county is concerned,
we think she is not only ready for 1t,
but she is willing to support 1t hand
somely. All that is necessary Is
proper presentation Of the matter to
the people.

OUR PREMIUM OFFERS.

1t gives The Enquirer pleasure to call
especial attention to the unusually at
tractive list of premium offers to
clubmakers that we are making in our
annual prospectus published elsewhere
in this issue.
Our offers Of last year were Of un-
precedented liberality; put the results
We're entirely satisfactory and we are
encouraged to venture even further,
except that 1t seems desirable to offer
more premiums so that the benefits
may be distributed among larger
number of clubmakers.
a careful reading Of our offer as
published, will show that we are pro-
posing to give two leading premiums
in each tOwnship-one to the clubmak-
er making the largest lab and the
other to the clubmaker making The
second largest club. Beside these,
special premiums are offered and It is
arranged that every clubmaker, wheth-
er he has the largest or second largest
club in his township or not, will re-
ceive fair compensation for all the
effort he may put forth.
AS is fully explained, the competition
is open to all who desire to enter. Ev-
cry clubmaker will be on practically
an equal footing, the only material
difference being In the matter of ex-
perience, and this advantage held by
those who have been making clubS
heretofore is often discounted by the
greater energy of new clubmakers.
There have been cases where club
makers have carried away the highest
premiums as the result Of their first
campaigns.
Under our offer Of a Carolina Grade
Rock Hill buggy to the clubmaker re-
turning a larger club than any other
clubmaker Of his township last year,
buggies were awarded in the town.
ShipS as follows.

CARMACK's FATAL EDIToRIAL.-The
editorial referring to Colonel Cooper
in the Tennessean last Monday morn
ing is one Of several which have men
toned Cooper. 1t had reference to a
recent conference between Governor
Patterson and former Gov. John l. Cox,
between whom, because Of past politi-
cal contests, it has been alleged the
feeling was anything but cordial. The
editorial is headed "The Diplomat of
the Zweibund," and reads as follows:
ITO Major Duncan Brown Cooper,
who wrought the great coalition; who
achieved the harmonious confluence Of
incompatible elements; who welded
the pewter handle to the wooden spoon;
who grated the dead bough to the
living tree and made it to bloom, and
bourgeon and bend with golden fruit;
who made playmates Of the lamb and
the leopard, and boon companions OF
the spider and the fly; who made soda
and vinegar to dwell placidly in the
same bottle, and who taught oil and
water how they might agree-to Ma
jor Duncan Brown Cooper, the great
diplomat of the political Zweibund, be
ali honor and glory forever"

Mr.. j. L. Wood has been giving at
tention to the matter Of selecting seed
corn for years. His plan Is to select
his seeds as he shucks his corn. The
result has been very satisfactory.
Yorkville dealers are selling consid-
cradle quantities of seed wheat, most
" in small lots. Messrs. Herndon &
Gordon have handled about one hun
dred bushels so far this season and are
still taking orders. Other dealers are
also having a good demand.
Mr.. A. L. Black, secretary of the
York County Farmers Union has about
made up his mind not to plant any
cotton next season. He says he made
a good crop Of oats this year, and has
sold large portion Of the crop at a
good profit He thinks he will SOW
practically all Of the land he has here
tofore been working with wage hands.
A good York county agricultural
school established in Yorkville could
be made to work wonders for this
whole section. The past twenty-five
years have opened the eyes Of the
world to the fact that there is more
promise of outcome in the science Of
agriculture. than is offered in any 9TH
er line Of material endeavor.
Mr.. q. /. Suggs or 1orkVille No. 3,
has sent The Enquirer six sweet pota
toes Of the Early Golden variety that
weigh 30 pounds. The largest of the
six, weighs six pounds. Ordinarily the
Early Golden Is not large potato; but
it seems that on good soil, we'll pre-
pared. it has surpassed itself in size,
Mr.. Suggs has harvested about one
hundred bushels of potatoes.
The various participants in the COM
petition for the prizes offered by the
Farmers Union for the largest yields
of corn grown on an acre. have been
gathering their respective crops this
week. The Enquirer has not heard
any Of the results. The probability is
that the committees in charge will
keep figures to themselves until they
get ready to report to the County I'm
ion. This will be better, no doubt

TILLMAN on CARMACK.-The Tren-
ton correspondent of the News and
Courier carried Senator Tillman the
news of the sudden and tragic death
of his former colleague, Senator Car
mack of Tennessee, today. He was
very much surprised and shocked and
said that Mr.. Carmack was a knightly
and noble-hearted gentleman, and that
the south can i'll spare such men at
this time. His taking off in such a
way and for such a cause is deplorable,
nay, horrible" said Senator Tillman,
and without knowing anything about
the facts the newspaper reports would
indicate that he was assassinated, be-
ing shot from behind and any one who
knew him would feel absolutely certain
that he was not running. Altogether
it is a lamentable affair."-News and

WHERE WAS THE LAw?-It Is how
ever, disconcerting to think that in a
civilized community, where law and
order are supposed to be paramount,
two citizens, who had already declared
their intent to take a fellowman's life,
may arm. themselves and go forth to
fulfill that intent, and there not be
found one person in that community of
sufficient sagacity to intervene in be-
half of the law and for the preservation
of human life. If the friends of the law
had acted properly and promptly, Mr..
Carmack might now be spared to his
country and his home. We believe
that in a northern community, where
the peculiar southern attitude toward
the shooting-up of unsuspecting citi-
zens does not prevail, Mr.. Carmack's s
life would have been saved.-Columbia

BULLISH COTTON EsTIMATE.-Edward
Morse & Company, cotton brokers, pub
lished Wednesday a bullish forecast Of
the cotton crop. The conclusions are
based on a six weeks tour of the
cotton belt by members Of the firm.
They estimate the crop at 13,400,000
bales divided by states as follows:
Virginia. $4,000; North Carolina,
$4,000; South Carolina, 100000;
Georgia. 1.750,O00; Florida. $4,000; Ala
bama, l.35O,OOO; Mississippi, 1,650,OO0;
Louisiana, 100000; Texas, 100000;
Oklahoma, 10000: Arkansas, 100000;
Tennessee, $4,000; Missouri. 10000.
They report the character of the
present crop as unusually high. Louis
lana and South Carolina are making
the smallest yield per acre, while Tex
as will probably be fully equal to the
big crop Of two years ago.
