WITHIN THE TOWN.

The York Cotton mill is running a
part of it's machinery at night on spe-
cial work.
General business continues very
good considering the season; but 1t is
not as brisk as the business people
generally hope to see it within the next
few weeks.
The cemeteries should be named.
II there was only one it would be all
right to call it the Yorkville cemetery;
but there are two and 1t Is often awk-
ward to try to distinguish between
them.
The Shandon hotel has been doing
quite a fine business since the opening
of court, and Proprietor Sadler Is In a
fine humor. Many Of his guests are
telling him that he has one Of the best
commercial hotels In the state. In fact,
but few Of them will try to cite hotel
that they think Is better.
- The previously announced dramat-
ic entertainment, under the auspices
of the Ladies' Improvement committee
Of the Episcopal church, is to be held
in the graded school auditorium to-
night The bill includes two short
plays, both of them humorous and
good, and the rehearsal and practice
work that has been done insures that
both will be presented in an admirable
manner. 1t will be well worth the
while Of everybody to go.

Auditor Hunter has recently fitted
his office up with inexpensive, but very
we'll planned furniture, and the books
and papers were probably never ar
ranged in a more convenient or sys-
tematic manner.
The time in which property may be
returned for taxation without penalty,
expires next Saturday, February 20.
The returns are not nearly complete
yet.
The cold wave that was promised for
Wednesday, came on time, but 1t was
not quite so severe as was generally
expected.
The presumption is that Mr.. ]. c.
Hill, the juryman who died in the court
house the other day from over exertion,
ran because of a fear Of the unknown
possible consequences that might be
meted out to him for tardiness. Most Of
the circuit judges insist that jurors and
witnesses must be in their places when
called, which is very proper. 1t is
probably not understood by jurors and
witnesses that there is no effort to Sc
cure a strict enforcement of this rule
until after the organization Of the
court. Those who get to the organiza-
ticn late with a good excuse are gen.
orally excused. 1t is not until aff
the court is organized that really strict
attendance Is enforced.

THE SPECULATIVE MARKET.

The developments in the speculative
market yesterday, according to an AS
sociated Press dispatch Of last night,
were as follows:
The cotton market met with quite
good deal of support today, but con-
tinued nervous and unsettled with the
close barely steady at a net decline Of
to points. Sales were estimated at
10000 bales.
The market opened steady at de-
cline of l to points with the active
months selling 2 to points net lower
right after the call owing to disap-
pointing cables, liquidation and local
bear pressure. At the decline to $40
for July and 9.27 for October there was
active buying both for the account OF
some of the large spot houses and
through commission houses. These de-
mands checked the downward tenden-
cy and during the middle Of the day
prices sold l to points net higher
with late months relatively firm. Buy
ing orders were withdrawn on the ad-
vance, however, and later the market
again weakened owing to talk Of ship
ments here from the south for delivery
on March contracts, liquidation by ear
ly buyers and a renewal Of local bear

ASSUMING that there are a great
many people, who have not been able
to keep track of the road law situation,
we will attempt to explain the matter.
What is known as the Saye law, the
one about which there was so much
controversy during the campaign Of
last summer, now has its place in the
statutes as the plan and guide OF
those who have charge Of the roads in
this county. This law, while upon the
whole. a good one, Is defective in GER
tain particulars. Mr.. Stewart intro
duced in the senate a bill to change
lars. The full text of this bill was
published in our issue of January 29.
The house delegation did not fully
agree with Mr.. Stewards ideas, and in
troduced bill setting forth its views
of what the road law ought to be. The
full text of this bill is reproduced else
where We do not understand that the
house delegation is unanimous with
leSdIu W lIlS ulIl, uul IL NoS HHeiiiy
adopted on a basis Of majority rule.
Mr. Stewart Is able to pass through
the senate, practically any bill he de-
sires to pass affecting only York coun-
ty. The other senators rarely ever in
terfere with purely local measures.
The house delegation can, in a like
manner pass anything through the
house on which it agrees unanimously.
Members from other counties rarely
interfere with the unanimous desire Of
a county delegation in matters affect
ing only the delegations own county.
Where the senator and the house dele
cation disagree, however, the disagree
ment must be settled on a give and
take basis in free conference. Where
no agreement can be reached the bill
in controversy has to die. If there is
no agreement between the senate and
house delegation as to the Stewart
proposition and the house proposition,
then both will have to die. The effect
Of this would be to leave the Saye law
as it stands, entirely practicable in all
it's provisions; but needing amendment
in several important particulars. For
one thing, as is recognized by both Mr..
Stewart and the house delegation, it
now imposes on all male residents of
incorporate towns above the age of Is

The report Of John G. Capers, COM
missioner, and Charles A. Champion,
chief chemist, of the office Of internal
revenue, on methods Of denaturing al
cohol practiced abroad, recently sub
mitted to congress, makes several rec
concentrations for legislation affecting
the industry in this country. The Ger
man system for fostering the produc-
ton and use of alcohol could not be
adopted in this country under the pres
ent law, they state. 1t will be neces-
sary, in order to procure an increase In
the production Of denatured alcohol,
to provide for direct bounty to be
paid upon every gallon used for indus
trial purposes. The cheapness Of ben
zine and kerosene will operate, they
urge, against the use Of denatured al
cohol as a source of energy until the
price Of alcohol is materially diminish
ed. They recommend also that con-
gress raise the limit Of daily production
imposed upon the industrial alcohol
producing distillers from 100 to at least
200. and probably 300 proof gallons.
They also recommend denaturing at
he factories instead of at the distiller-
les. Greater efficiency of government
inspectors is suggested as a means for
proper enforcement of the internal rev.
enue law in respect to denatured al
cohol

er he did not think he was seriously
hurt: but afterward It developed that
his nervous system had been deranged
as the result of the shock and his health
had been completely shattered. He
wanted $4,000 damages. The defend
ant sought to show by expert testi-
mony and otherwise that 1t had not
really injured the plaintiff at all. The
jury remained out less than two hours
and returned a verdict Of $13,500 for
plaintiff. After hearing argument on
a motion for a new trial, Judge Klugh
concluded that the verdict was excess
sive and announced his purpose to
grant a new trial nisi-fixing the
amount he thought the plaintiff ought
to be willing to accept at $4,000. Mr..
W.. A. Holman of Charleston, Mr.. John
Gary Evans of Spartanburg, and Mr..
M. B. Jennings of Yorkville, represent
the plaintiff. Mr.. ]. e. Mcdonald rep
resents the defendant.

SENATOR Tillman has corrected the
statement sent out by the correspond
ent of the Atlanta Constitution that he
told the senators in executive session
that he once voted for a negro con-
gressman. The correspondent seems to
have misunderstood. He says that
when he was governor and member
of the state board Of canvassers, he
voted to give the certificate Of election
to George Washington Murray, over a
white man. The district had been so
gerrymandered as to include nearly
all the negro voters Of such a large
territory, that to give the certificate to
Murray seemed only in accord with
the original design Of the gerryman-
der. He would not have it understood
that ne ever voted for a negro. or went
further than to give a negro a certifi-
cate to which he was so overwhelming
ly entitled on the face Of the returns.

DR.. cHEYNE ON TUBERCULOSIS.

Quite a number of ministers, physi-
clans, trustees and teachers from all
parts of the county gathered in the
graded school auditorium last We'd
nesday morning to hear DR.. Walter
Cheyne of Sumter, lecture on tubercu-
losis, and these together with teachers
and older pupils Of the graded school,
filled the hall to its capacity.
DR.. Miles Walker, president Of the
York County Medical association. call
ed the gathering to order and presided,
Rev. E. E. Gillespie, paster Of the First
Presbyterian church Of Yorkville, Of
fered the opening and closing prayers
and DR.. E. w. Pressly Of Glover, in a
short but appropriate talk introduced
the speaker.
DR.. Cheyne has a good lecture, very
practical, thoroughly prepared and well
within the comprehension Of the intel
ligent laity; but was at some disad-
vantage for the reason that much OF
1t Is illustrated by means Of stereop-
ticon views, which could not be shown
because Of too much light in the build
ing.
Much of what the doctor said was
in confirmation of the very clear talk
made by DR.. Pressly some weeks ago
and reproduced in The Enquirer short
ly afterward. He took care to empha-
size how tuberculosis must be dealt
with rather more in the prevention
than in the cure, and that the strong
est hope held out for the eventual
eradication Of the disease is the wide
spread dissemination Of the knowledge
that is being acquired on the subject.
He made 1t clear that filth is the
principal source Of tuberculosis, that
the bacilli or germs originate and are
incubated there and attack any debil-
itated condition they may find in the
human system.
He undertook to impress upon his
hearers that while much could be done
to prevent and stamp out tuberculosis
in its incipiency; but very little could
be done after the disease had once got
ten hold. Physic he said was Of prac-
tically no value, and people who re-
sorted to it were up against vain hope.
There was much virtue in plenty OF
fresh, pure air; but even that more Of
ten than otherwise proved a vain hope.
To successfully push the fight against
tuberculosis, he said, it is necessary to
enlist the help Of individuals. of medi-
cal societies, of municipal. county and
state governments, and in fact every
influence and power possible. But If
the intelligence Of the country will be-
stir itself, enter into the fight with de-
termined zeal and keep at 1t, the great
white plague may be finally extermi-
mated.
From Yorkville, DR.. Cheyne went to
Rock Hill where he repeated his lee
ture Wednesday night with all Of his
illustrated views, to the very great in
terest and instruction Of his audience.

Except in the particulars referred to,

SENATOR Knox Is to be Mr.. Taft's
secretary of state and to hold the po-
sition he will have to give up $4,000 a
year. 1t was understood some time ago
that Mr.. Taft desired Mr.. Knox for the
state portfolio. But it happens that
Mr.. Knox is a member of the senate
that increased the salary from $4,000
to $4,000, and the law says no senator
shall have the benefit Of an increase
brought about under such circum-
stances. The judiciary committee OF
the senate has decided that there is
nothing the matter with Mr. Knox taxi
ing the position at the old salary OF
$4,000, and that is what he will do.

to say which is the correct pronuncia-
ton of the word automobile. Web
ster's International gives us "automo-

refreshing to note that one Of our cit

worth while that we should pronounce

Certainly. 1t is painful to hear an edu-
Gated person say "dierectly" for "di-

they carefully refrain from saying die

pronounce inquirer.
