A PLEASING ENTERTAINMENT.
Carieaturing, Clay Modelling and Land
scapes by Ross Crane.


The entertainment given at the ker-
redge theater last evening by Ross
Crane, under the auspices of the star
entertainment course of the Grace Nj.
T.. church of Houghton, was greatly
enjoyed by the large audience. MI
Crane occupied a couple of hours most
delightfully."- drawing caricaturcs, char
acter sketches, n landscape or two
modelling heads i'm soft clay, and in Civ
ing some burlesque piano limitations.
lie accompanied the work of his hands
with a running talk of pleasing hu-
NOR, pathos and comment. that added
greatly to the interest of the enter
tainment. AS a caricaturist, able TO
outline character with few dett
touches of the chalk, Mr.. Crane showed
much skill and ability. and several por-
traits of well known pcrsonages were
very lfe-like. He made dawing rep
resenting Roosevelt in a very few
lines. "Hc isn't finished" said the lee
tuer, and added though some poll
ticians at Washington think he Is.
In the clay modelling the faces of BIG
Bill Taft, Uncle Sam, Shakespeare,
Abraham Lincoln and John Bull were
depicted in % very artistic manner, the
plastic material assuming the various
forms very rapidly under the deft
manipulation of the artist. The num-

Prices of Mems Clothing
 Sent Soaring by Aldrich.
Suits Which Formerly Cost $20 Are Now Being Marked to S35 by
 Dealers.

NEW YORK, June 2G-Anticipat- ing the effect of the present provis- ions of the Aldrich tariff bill, the prices of mems clothing have been sent sky high within a week.
 Clothing dealers report that suits that could be bought a week ago for $20 are now being marked to S35. Staple wOrsteds and woolens have all taken a 35 per cent rise in the last few days.
 Coupled wit the tariff anticipa- tion is the increased cost of secured wool, which a year ago cost 4G cents a pound. and which today is quoted at 75 cents.
 Clothing sellers look upon the situa ton with much satisfaction, their position being much stronger than it has been in many years.-New York Paper.

THE RURAL SCHOOLS.
Ways and Means BY Which Improve
ment May Be Made.

Editor Yorkville Enquirer:
The rural schools Of South Carolina
have been greatly improved In recent
years, but there is yet an enormous
amount Of work to be done, before the
schools in the country will compare at
all favorably with the town and city
school. A large per cent Of the popula-
ton Of our state Is rural and agricul-
tural, therefore If every boy and girl
education 1t Is very important that our
people build up a good system Of coun-
try schools. The efficiency OF a country
school depends largely upon the effort
put forth in a rural community by Its
trustees and teachers. II they show
that they are interested and will take
the leadership in improving their
schools, they will not fail to get CO.
operation from patrons. ! urge every
country teacher and trustee in South
Carolina to ask himself the question:
What can do to make my school bet
ter? Find out how you can make 1t
better and go to work with determi-
nation to improve conditions. Success
will always attend an earnest EFFORT.
During the recent session OF the legis-
lature, bill was passed appropriating
$4,000 for the purpose OF increasing
the average length Of the school term
and to improve the efficiency Of the
public schools in this state. The state
superintendent Of education, Mr.. ]. E.
Swearingen, will gladly send copy Of
this act, together with regulations to
anyone who will write him for same.
Every rural school should run longer
than three or four months, so II yours
doesn't run at least 100 days, don't fall
to take advantage Of this law. 1t pro-
vides that any school whose term Is
less than 100 days, can secure $500
from the state superintendent Of edu-
cation for every s1.00 that the patrons
may raise. If any school which pays
$50 a month will raise $40, the state
will supply $40 and thus lengthen the
term by one month. OF course, any
greater amount raised by the school
will secure a correspondingly greater
addition to the school term.
The state board of education has re-
Gently set aside $4,000 Of the library
fund to be used by the School I'm
provement association for prizes. This
amount was offered last year and
ninety one schools entered the contest.
1t is estimated that 100000 worth Of
material improvement resulted from
this contest. If your school did not
apply last year, don't fail to make an
effort to win a prize this year. Reg
ulations regarding prizes can be Sc
cured by writing to Miss Theodosia
Dargan, Dalzell, S. c.
I will be glad to furnish any trustees
or teachers in the state with any in
formation can, that will assist them
in improving the conditions Of their
schools. Mary T. Nance,
Field Agent Of Campaign Conn.,,

THE DEMONSTRATION WORK.

Although late in starting, because OF
the pressure elsewhere, the Farmers
CO. operative Demonstration work has
made more rapid progress in York
county, than in any previous county,
and so well pleased is Prof. Ira w.
williams, state agent in charge, that
he is seriously considering the question
of increasing the time for which Mr..
Hughes, the county agent is employed,
from two to six days week.
It seems that the appropriation avail
able for this cooperative demonstra-
tion work is quite limited, and in the
administration of the funds 1t Is nee
essary to use the greatest care and
economy. It has been the policy OF
Mr.. williams to appoint agents but
for only two days week, and then put
them on more time or not as circum-
stances seem to require.
Experience has shown that one coun-
ty agent could look after about thirty
or forty co-operators and demonstra-
tors, provided they were not too badly
scattered; but because Of the energy
developed by Mr.. C. ]. Hughes, agent
for York county, and the most intelli-
gent interest shown by York county
farmers, the number Of co-operators
and demonstrators has swollen to more
than double the capacity Of one man
at two days a week, and II he can help
It, MIR. Williams does not propose to
let the work suffer for want of atten-
ton.
There are now co-operators and
demonstrators in almost every section
of the county, including quite lot Of
enthusiastic and ambitious farmers
some who have already distinguished
themselves for good, intelligent man
agement, and others who are deter
mined to learn all that the agricultural
department has to teach. The general
outlook for the work is fine, and the
efforts of Prof. Williams to see that
all the co-operators and demonstrators
get as much attention as possible, VIII
no doubt be widely appreciated, not
only by the immediate benefciaries,
but by the general public as we'll.

WE would like to see the price of
cotton raised as per the promises OF
Mr.. Sully; but we do not see anything
in Mr.. Sully's plan. Efforts have al
ready been made to carry it out, and
although these efforts were success
full the plan failed. There Is little
doubt of the fact that the Farmers
Union held cotton off the market two
years ago, and made cotton famine,
which stopped many of the mills. But
the price did not go up for various rea-
sons, not the least among them being
that there was extensive overplanting
with the result Of the creation OF
surplus that pulled prices down. If
Mr.. Sully's scheme, should result in the
cornering Of the cotton crop, which is
not likely, and put the price to Ia or
Is cents, the very next crop, certainly
the one after that, would put prices
down again. The best way, and the
only way for the farmer to be assured
of a fair price for his cotton, is to raise
all possible home supplies, and cotton
only as a surplus. This policy will keep
the price Of cotton up, and the farmer
independent Of it.

THE HORSE sWAPPERs.

There was not much doing IN the
horse swapping line, the back lot busi-
ness, yesterday for the reason that
there was not a great deal Of trading
stock in town.
There were on hand several of the
regulars, men who make a business of
swapping, but they found rather dull
day of II, the people with whom they
expected to trade being at home plow-
ing.
Speaking of the back lot trading
some days ago, horseman who Is ia
miliar with all its details; but who
never engages in 1t for various reasons,
mentioned some Of the tricks that are
practiced from time to time.
Most of the York county traders,
he said, "are as square as the business
will permit. That is they do not re-
sort to methods that are considered
unfair; but every once In a while, peo-
ple come in from the outside and find
ing a victim do him up proper. There
was a case Of this last salesday.
Maybe you have never heard OF IT.;
but there is a preparation called 'gyp-
sy soup or gypsy OIL Just what 1t Is
I do not know; but little Of 1t ap-
piled to a horses hide under the sad
die, about the neck or almost any
where, runs him wild. The game OF
the operators is to use good horse and
get up a trade for poor one, with
good wad Of cash. The soup is ap-
piled during the change Of saddles and
almost Immediately afterward the
good horse goes crazy, and Its new
owner Is anxious to rue at a heavy
sacrifice.
Some fellows got hold Of negro In
Turner's lot on salesday in March,
swapped him a good horse for plug
and twenty-five dollars in cash, and
Immediately after the swap the good
horse began to act crazy like. The ne
gro thought he was ruined, and began
a dicker to get his horse back on the
easiest terms possible.
"a horsetrader who was here from
Rock Hill saw 1t all, and suspecting
what was the matter, called the negro
to one side, told him not to be uneasy;
but to just take the horse to Barron's
stable and wait a while. The negro
followed the advice and pretty soon
afterward, the fellows who had tried
to do him came after him trying to
get their horse back. They offered him
various sums in addition to the twen-
ty-five dollars he had paid; but on ad-
vice, he held to what he had, and af-
ter a short time it became clear that
he had made real good trade
But there was nothing out of the
usual in the horseswapping business
yesterday. AS a matter Of fact, the
day was very quiet.

SULLY HAS A SCHEME.
To Control Cotton Price BY Means of
Chain of Warehouses,

To Control Cotton Price BY Means Of
Chain of Warehouses.
when the farmers Of the south and
the business men Of the south say the
word, funds will be Immediately avail
able in sufficient volume to forever
place the great industry Of cotton pro-
duction upon a stable foundation, free
from all chance fluctuations Of the
market, relieved Of attacks Of manipu-
lators and leaving the gigantic crop
monopoly of this section to respond,
unembarrassed and unrestricted, to the
legitimate laws OF supply and demand.
AS a result 1t should mean to the south
an annual actual saving ranging from
$3.50, 100000 to S250,000,000."
In these plain words, Daniel j. Sully,
the man who claims credit for having
driven cotton to its highest market
price since the civil war, last Friday
outlined the purpose Of visit to At
lanta and the southern states. i Will
not ask one penny from the southern
people, will not ask the pledging or
one bale Of cotton, until have given
ample good faith Of sufficient financial
backing from sources unQuestionable to
carry every detail of the plan into ef-
feet. and safeguard the interest Of ev-
cry farmer in the south, from the man
who raises one bale to the man VINO
raises a thousand bales"
"A minimum fund Of ten million dol
lars, subscribed by the most conser-
vative financiers Of the United states
is available to be invested in such iron
clad securities as shall insure the abil-
ity and responsibility Of the plans OF
the promoters to redeem their promises
and obligations to the last detail"
"The backbone of the plan Is a chain
of bonded warehouses throughout the
south sufficient in number and capac-
fty to house one third Of the crop, and
that one third, as has been demon
strated to be the balance Of power
which will render market congestion
impossible and insure disposal OF the
crop in strict conformity with the
laws of supply and demand"
Savannah, Ca, April 4.-Statements
Of local cotton factors, and from re-
ports received from other cities In
Georgia, indicate that the plan OF Dam
lei ]. Sully, to throw a chain OF cotton
warehouses across the south capable Of
holding one-third Of a years cotton
crop. will be strongly opposed II It ever
threatens to become a fact, and that
1t will have very slight, II any, support
at all in this section.
A member Of the Savannah cotton
exchange states that the plan. in the
first place, is impracticable; that had
the south wanted 1t, the plan Of the
Farmers Union would long ago have
secured support, instead Of Mr.. Sully's
plan, and that cetton factors see In 1t
nothing to commend itself to them. or
to the planters.
He indicated that no Improvement
upon present conditions can be expect
ed from this new source and that To-
cally, efforts along that line would
meet with probably more than passive
resistance.
