WE have a copy of Insurance Com
missioner McMaster's first annual re-
port. 1t is a pamphlet Of SO pages
filed with interesting information
about all the insurance companies that
have been licensed to do business In
this state, and detailed statements OF
the condition of the various domestic
companies. There is an intelligent dis
cussion of the whole insurance sub
ject, and some valuable suggestions as
to legislation that is needed for the
protection of the South Carolina pub
lie against the charlatan adventures
who have been finding such a fruitful
field in this state. Altogether the re-
port is very we'll calculated to give the
general assembly good reason to con-
gratulate itself on having created the
office of insurance commissioner and on
having put such a man as Mr. McMas-
ter in charge of 1t.

ROBERT e. LEE.

This day, January 10, Is being OBJ
served throughout South Carolina and
many other southern states as a pub
lie holiday on account Of the fact that
1t Is the birthday Of General Robert E.
Lee, the greatest Christian soldier,
patriot and citizen this country has
ever known. General Lee was born In
Stratford house, Westmoreland coun-
ty, Va, on January 10, 1907, exactly
one hundred and two years ago. The
surviving soldiers who followed him In
battle. love his memory as they love
the memory Of no other mortal man.
All the children have been told who he
was; but for the good Of all his coun-
trymen the story cannot be too often
retold. This tribute was originally
paid by Senator Benjamin R. Hill of
Georgia in a speech delivered In the
Georgia state capitol in 1874. 1t has
been published, in these columns on
previous anniversaries Of this day;
but 1t is still timely and proper:
when the enactments and meas
ures of the Confederate government
shall be critically examined, they will
be found to have sprung into existence
with a wisdom, a vigor, an aptitude
for the crisis and a strict conformity
to all the principles Of free institutions,
which must challenge the admiration
Of publicists and statesmen of all time.
mo people, ancient or modern, can
look with more pride to the verdict
which history will be compelled to
render upon the merits and characters
Of our two chief leaders-the one in
the military and the other in the civil
service. Most other leaders are great
because of fortunate results and he
roes because of success. Davis and
Lee because of qualities in themselves,
are great in the face of fortune. and
heroes in spite of defeat.
when the future historian shall
come to survey the character OF Lee,
he will find it rising like huge noun
tain above the undulating plain Of hu-
manity, and he must lift his eyes high
toward heaven to catch its summit.
He possessed every virtue Of other
great commanders without their vices.
He was foe without hate; friend
without treachery; a soldier without
oppression, and a victim without MUIR
muring. He was a public officer with
out vices; a private citizen without
wrong; neighbor without reproach;
a Christian without hypocricy, and a
man without guile. He was Caesar
without his ambition; Frederick, with
out his tyranny; Napoleon, without
his selfshness, and Washington, with
out his reward He was obedient to
authority as a servant, and royal In
authority as a true king. He was gen.
tie as woman in life; modest and
pure as a virgin in thought; watchful
as a Roman vestal In duty; submissive
to law as Socrates, and grand In bat
tie as Achilles"

THE New Orleans Cotton Exchange
has taken up with Secretary of Agri-
culture Wilson the matter of the i'm
portance of trying to extend the field
for the consumption of American cotton.
The exchange holds that there are
thousands of articles of every day use
that are made of various materials
that are produced abroad and which
can be made much better of cotton.
II the people of this country can De
educated to demand the use of cotton
in the manufacture of all articles in
which cotton can be used with reason
able economy, it is probable that the
consumption of cotton will be rapidly
increased to the point where even fifteen
or twenty million bales year Will not
begin to supply the demand. The idea
is entirely practicable and 1t Is well
worth pushing to the limit.

DIR. r. c. Rosenberger Of Philadel-
pha, has awakened wide spread in
terest among those engaged In tuoer-
culosis research, with the declaration
that he has positively proved that tu-
berculcsis first makes its appearance
in the blood, and that with the discov-
cry of a serum that will eradicate II
there, the disease can be stamped out
in its inception. The doctor declares
that the disease never attacks the
lungs or other weak spots first. He
claims that he has an infallible test
for the discovery of incipient tubercu-
losis in the blood and all that is need
ed now is the destroying serum.

A NASHVILLE, Tenn, dispatch says
that unless the defense manages to
secure a continuance, the trial Of Col.
Duncan B. Cooper, his son Robert
Cooper and former Sheriff John D.
Sharpe for the murder Of former Sen
ator Carmack will be commenced at
Nashville tomorrow. Almost the en-
tire state of Tennessee is lined up in
two hostile camps over the matter for
and against the Coopers. The Coopers
and their friends claim that there Will
Ae no difficulty in making out clear
case of elf-defense and the state says
1t will prove that the killing was the
result of a conspiracy to assassinate.
II is conceded that there will be great
difficulty in securing a jury, as under

a cese, disqualifies himself as juror

FROM the accounts of the visit pub
by the Associated Press, it Is evident
that President elect Taft got very close
to the Atlanta people and the Atlanta
people got very close to Mr.. Taft. Not
south as whole seem to ring in a
tone of frank, open manlinesS that is
very we'll calculated to meet with Il
general friendly response. And why
not? The south is Democratic, of
course, and will remain so; but this
fact does not prevent her from getting
some measure of satisfaction out of
the fact that the president elect Is a
broad, able. honest American who
promises to consider us on terms of
equality with all other citizens of this
great country. We do not understand
from what Mr.. Taft has said that he
thinks the southern people are willing
to sell their principles for public Of
fees, or that any number of offices
given to southern politicians would
have an appreciable influence on the
best sentiment OF the south as whole.
We prefer to believe that he does not
propose TO stand for any unfair dis
elimination in governmental affairs
against the south. as such, where he
can prevent, and if this shall be his
policy. we think that both he and the
country at large will have cause for
qualification at the outcome. We are
glad that Mr. Taft has come south,
and we are pleased at the treatment
he is receiving. Whether he captures
the south or the south captures him,
there seems to be promise of a better
understanding between both.

orrespondence OF the iorkville Enquirer.
Clover, January 19.-From bus
mess view point the new year has
started off about as has all others IN
the history of the town. Not a great
deal is being done, but the business
people generally are not disturbed
over this fact, because they feel sure
that conditions are normal and later
on business will assume Its usual vol
ume.
The Bank Of Glover will enter upon
the fourth year Of its existence on
February /. 1t Is safe to assert that
no enterprise has ever been establish
ed here that has been more successful
than has this institution or more pop
ular with the people. Mr.. ]. A. Page,
the cashier, thoroughly understands
his part of the work and from the first
day has demonstrated the wisdom OF
the directors in securing his services.
1t has been decided that the present
quarters of the bank shall be remod.
eled. It is to be rearranged, mod
ern, brick and steel fireproof vault in
stalled and other improvements made
calculated to facilitate business.
Up to this time the Glover Ginning
company has ginned about 1,750 bales
Of cotton, against about 1850 for the
entire season last year. Mr.. w. +.
Adams, Jr., the manager, says that
he does not expect to gin more than
ten or fifteen more this season, but
that he had no idea of doing as much
work as has already been done when
the season opened last fall.
It had been practically decided a
year ago that Clover should have a
standard cotton warehouse, but for
some reason 1t was not built. The en-
terprise has not been entirely aban-
doned and may be pushed through In
time for the next crop.
Mr.. H. L. Wright has arranged to
visit Europe and the countries bor-
dering on the Mediterranean sea, and
expects to sail from New York on or
about February 4. He will visit
Egypt, Greece, Turkey, Italy, France,
Germany, England, Wales, Ireland,
Scotland and perhaps other countries,
and expects to be away for about four
months.
Mr.. w. B. Stroup, one Of Clover's
most substantial and successful bus
mess men, was recently elected di-
rector Of the Glover Cotton Manufac-
turing company to succeed Captain
w. T. Jackson, deceased.
Although there has recently been a
material advance in the price Of cotton,
the amount being sold on this market
at present Is not so large as several
weeks ago. The price being paid to-
day Is 81.

extremity of the new driveway and a

whole scheme involves a first cost Of
a. quarter of million dollars, with the
possibility of adding to the city asses

sea wall course has been surveyed and
arrangements made to finance the
project. The land Is to be reclaimed
by means of powerful mud-pumping

LOCAL LACONlCS.
Quite a Biu Tree.

Mr.. David Patton, who lives near
Glover, cut a board tree on his place
recently, that measured thirteen feet
In circumference. The tree was made
into boards and yielded 5000 in all
500 to the cut Besides the boards
there were left eight loads Of fire wood.
Killed In Driving Wheel.
A negro engineer named Charlie
Patterson, in the employ Of the Mu-
tual Ginning company at McConnells-
vile, was killed yesterday afternoon
while working at his engine. There
were no eye witnesses to the accident,
and just how 1t occurred Is matter
Of speculation. 1t Is thought, however,
that he was working with a governor
that was giving trouble, the belt broke,
struck him in the back Of the neck
and knocked him against the driving
wheel. He was insensible when found
and did not recover consciousness.

Rock Hill special Of January 15, to

be emphasized practical points, inter-
esting mainly from a scientific stand
point. DR.. Pressly, however, carried
his audience with him into a flight of
earnestly fervid eloquence, which will,
no doubt, be largely instrumental In
bringing about the object for which he
was invited to speak. namely, the or
ganiZation Of an anti-tuberculosis
league. At the conclusion of the ad-
dress, DR.. ]. r. Miller announced that
there would be a meeting held in the
Commercial club on Tuesday evening
January 49, for the above named pur-
pose. A number of mill men were
present last evening, and Mr. Jno. r.
Barron, president of the Manchester
mill, secured the promise Of the speak
er to come back and address the Man
chester employees at a near date In
the future.
