. The coming Of Frank e. Griswold's

- The coming Of Frank e. Griswold's
tent show, "Ten Nights in Bar
Room" to Yorkville last Tuesday night,
developed that Yorkville was real good
show hungry Just how many people
can be seated In the tent, cannot be
definitely stated; but practically ev-
cry seat was crowded, and altogether
the audience must have numbered
1000. Some estimates are as high as
1900. The play was very well pre-
sented, and was enjoyed even by those
who have seen 1t over and over again.
The congregation of the First Pres
byterian church Of Yorkville ia very
much concerned over the prospect Of
losing its able and Jealous pastor, the
Rev. e. E. Gillespie, who is being liter
ally besieged with overtures from
other strong churches. Among the
churches that have been after Mr..
Gillespie, are the First Presbyterian
church Of New Orleans, the First
Presbyterian church Of Monroe, N. c.,
and the church at Columbia, Tenn. 1t
Is not understood that Mr.. Gillespie Is
dissatisfied or desirous Of leaving York
Vile; there is not a suspicion Of dissat-
isfaction on the part Of his congrega-
ton; there Is no salary question in
volved. The whole secret Of the mat
ter lies in the fact that Mr.. Gillespie Is
one Of the strongest and most energetic
ministers In the whole Southern Pres
byterian church, and the other congre-
cations want him. Mr.. Gillespie has
not been showing great deal Of con-
Germ about the different calls; but he
went to Columbia, Tenn, to preach last
Sunday, and the congregation has be.
come alarmed. There was an unusual
ly full congregation out at prayer
ter prayer meeting there was q congre.
gational meeting In which there was
full recognition Of the situation. Mr.
Gillespie said that he had not commit
ted himself on the subject Of leaving
Yorkville; but did say that he had not
fully made up his mind with regard
to the call to Tennessee. The congre-
cation took the matter quite seriously
and unanimously adopted resolutions
setting forth not only the strong at
tachment that had been built up be-
tween pastor and people; but the fur
ther fact that the pastor had institu-
ted and put under way so much good
work, the effect of which is only begin
ming to be felt, that If he should leave
at this time, the work would suffer and
progress would be hindered. AS to
what will be the outcome cannot be
foretold; but 1t Is quite evident that
the congregation will not give Mr.. Gill
lispie up II it can possibly keep him
from going. The people Of the town
generally are in full sympathy with the
Presbyterian congregation in the mat
ter, and there Is a common belief that
II Mr.. Gillespie should go away at this
time, it would be an exceedingly diff
ficult thing for the congregation to
find another man who could take up the
threads Of the work just where the
present capable minister would have
to turn them loose.

PRESIDENT Taft told the people OF
Birmingham, Ala. that the object OF
his visit to the south is not to make
political converts; but to make them
see and feel that they are as much a
part Of the Union as are the people Of
any other section. 1t Is certainly a
fact that the people of the south have
had but little cause to feel that they
were again a part Of the Union until
the past few years; and it is also a
fact that Mr.. Taft has shown them
more consideration than any president
who has occupied the White House
since the war; with the single exception
Of Grover Cleveland. We do not think
there Is any use to trouble about polit-
ical converts-not, at least until the
Republicans are able to put out elec-
toral tickets without any negro names
on them.

SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS.

Seven prisoners escaped from the
Greenville Jail last Monday night by
knocking down the jailer and making
their way to the street. The jailer was
pretty badly shaken up, but was not
dangerously hurt Several Of the pris-
oners were under life sentences.
Columbia Record, Thursday: After
two days discussion, characterized Dy
brilliant papers from the best author
tiles in this country and In fact all
over the world. the international pella-
gra conference, which Is attended py
over ESQ physicians representing every
part of the globe affected seriously by
the puzzling disease Of pellasra, has
been able to reach no definite conclu-
sion either as to the cause or cure OF
the rapidly spreading scourge. The
resolutions committee has formulated
its report, but this has not yet been
made to the conference. The resolu-
tions will offer no definite conclusions,
but will merely back up the work for
Investigation and remedial measures
now being carried on by the Federal
government. The conference several
times this morning showed q decided
indisposition to indict corn, either SOUND
or moulded as the sole cause, although
the conclusion has about been reached
that this Is the medium through which
the disease Is carried, and that the
alarming spread Of the disease in this
country is due to the new methods
which obtain particularly 80 much In
the west Of harvesting the corn.
Columbia Record: Attorney Cen
eral Lyon was In his Office again to-
day after several days absence In
Chester, apparently delighted with
the "lay Of the land" for the new bat
tlefield Of the dispensary graft prose-
cution. He was busy today seeing at
torneys for the defendants about bail.
The defendants will all be allowed to
give bond in their home counties, the
amount in each case being $4,000. AS
pointed out in the Record yesterday,
the prosecution Is not to be abandon
ed in Richland county except In those
cases where the defendants have been
indicted for the same offenses In Ches.
ter, and 1t will not be necessary to mol
pros the cases here even In these
cases. They will automatically fall
upon the beginning of trial in Chester.
However, It Is evident the state has
transferred its principal hope to Ches-
ter, and will prosecute here only In
cases 1t can not in their nature try In
Chester. From what can be learned
of the temper of the Chester grand
and petit juries, right now seems to
be the psychological moment for the
state to press its prosecution there,
but 1t was hardly feasible for the trials
to be had at this term Of the Chester
court. The state, 1t Is understood,
avoided the expense Of getting Its wit
nesses to Chester, in view Of the like
lihood that continuances would have
been granted in view Of the unex-
pectedness Of the indictments.

cotton that 1t will be well to keep a
careful eye on the situation. There is
a good deal Of the artificial in the pres
ent market. II all the cotton that is
still in the hands Of the farmers should
be offered for sale within week, the
price would go all to pieces. We do
not think there is any doubt Of that
fact. If the balance of the crop is
marketed slowly, the price can easily
go on to II, 1S or 20 cents a pound.
Just what is going to happen, nobody
knows; but tremendous shake up at
almost any moment Is easily within the
range Of possibility.

- Columbia, November 2: Govern
or Ansel was today notified by the
navy department that the battleship
South Carolina will not be completed
before January Is, and that 1t will be
two or three months before she can
be gotten into such shape as to be
sent to Charleston for the ceremonies
incident to the presentation Of the
silver service. The $4,000 silver SER
vice which the legislature provided for
to be presented to the new battleshfp
will be ready for presentation by jan
uary is. The presentation, however,
will have to be postponed until later
date. It was the desire Of Governor
Ansel to have the members Of the
legislature attend the presentation In
a body. but Of course this plan will
have to be abandoned.

THE Democrats have carried Virginia
on a straight prohibition issue, and
that will mean the removal OF
the source Of liquor supplies
of the states to the south, still
further away. When Judge Manu. the
Democratic candidate for governor, had
the nerve to come out flatfooted for
prohibition, the Republicans brought
themselves to believe that the state
would certainly be theirs; but they
were overwhelmingly showed under.

OF course, no sensible man Is going
TO claim that all the manipulation OF
the courts is due to incompetent and
inefficient jurors. Much of the trouble
comes from the dereliction OF trusted
officials higher up. Law and justice
are based upon fixed principles, and
most officials who honestly try to ad-
minister law and justice, find little DIFF
ficulty in doing so; but when officials
no matter what their position, under
take to administer their own will in
lieu of law and justice, liberty suffers.

New York, Nov. 4.-There was SEN
sationaI break In the cotton market
today as O. result Of general liquidation
following persistent rumors that the
big bull leaders had liQuidated their
long lines. The market found very lit
tie support and the close was weak at
a net decline Of q to 81 points gener-
ally 40 to 81 points lower on current
crop deliveries.
The opening was easy at decline
of IL to 19 points and shortly after the
opening active months were Il to 20
points net lower In response to lower
Liverpool cables and selling for q reac-
ton by local professionals. Covering
by foreign stradlers furnished the mar
ket some support during the morning
and slight rallies occurred, but later the
volume Of liquidation became erfor-
NOUS. with outside longs frightened by
the continued absence Of bull support
and rumors that the leading operators
had sold out. Stop orders were caught
on the decline and the market during
the rest Of the day was sensationaliy
weak. January contracts sold OF to
1883, and May to 14.78 or 81 to IS
points net lower and from 81 to 81
points below the high records Of the
previous day. Last prices were at the
lowest. The fact that leading bulls did
not come to the support Of the market
on the break was taken by many as
confirming rumors regarding the IL :
quotation Of the big long lines during.
the past two or three days, and while,
there was no particular change IN the,
news, sentiment was evidently very
much unsettled. Some thought the
heavy selling reflected the possibility
Of less bullish report from the Ma
tional Ginners association between
now and the end Of the week than had
been talked Of earlier, but no figures
were circulating while crop estimate
issued by an English expert placed the
yield at under 1000. 900 bales. Southern
spot markets reported early were un-
changed to lie cent lower.
Receipts at the ports today 66,93S
