CORN PRIZE NO GO.

It Is with considerable regret that
The Enquirer has to announce that the
corn raising contest that the Farmers
Union of York county sought to organ
lie for this year has been called off.
The proposition of the Union was
that IL as many as twenty-five farm
ers, should by June 1, indicate their
intention to go into the contest, the
Union would award 500 in prizes for
the best, second best and third best
yields.
Mr.. A. L. Black, secretary and treas
urer of the Farmers Union to whom
intending competitors were to report,
advises us that up to June l, there
were only five or six entries, and under
the circumstances, of course, there Is
nothing for him to do but to refund the
entrance fees paid in and call the pro-
posed competition off.
The fact that there were not at many
as twenty-five entries is not properly
to be taken as an Indication Of lack
of interest in increased corn produc-
tion. On the contrary there are evil
dences of much greater interest than
there was last year, the interest being
exhibited in the large number of far
mers who are cultivating corn in ac-
cordance with the instructions sent out
by the Farmers Cooperative Demon
stration work, conducted under the
auspices Of the department Of agricul-
ture

are foolish not to avail ourselves of
even the few benefits we may be able
to secure. We are paying other parts
of the country bonuses on all their
products, why not make them pay a
bonus on our products? This looks
reasonable, and it is reasonable. But
the answer is just as reasonable. 1t
Is like this. Protection Is unjust in
primo iple as well as practice. 1t lays
grievous and unjust burdens upon us.
Relief from those burdens means bene-
fits beyond estimation. We cannot get
the benefit of even a little protection,
without being guilty Of discrimination
of the very kind We complain against.
and IL We are guilty also, knowingly
and confessedly guilty, how can we
complain?
We would like to see the revenues
of this country raised by means Of in
come and inheritance taxes and excise
taxes on tobacco and alcohol. This of
course, will come in time; but 1t will
not be until the present protection sys-
tenn has fallen to pieces as the result
of its own fundamental weakness, and
probably not until after the country
has passed through trials and tribula-
tions, fully as great, IL not great deal
greater than those which were occa-
stoned by the civil war.

WITHIN THE TOWN.

1t is big time they are going to
have in Yorkville on July s. The 10
cal Woodmen committees are working
on the proposition.
There was a large audience In the
court house last Wednesday night to
hear Mr.. Vickery's missionary lecture
and see the interesting motion pictures
and slides in connection with 1t. The
motion pictures took the audience over
some remarkably interesting parts OF
the world, particularly in India, China,
Japan and Africa. One particularly
interesting panorama, was shown In
a motion picture of the famous temples
of Benares along the Ganges river, the
picture having been made from steam
launch going down the river. Another
equally interesting picture showed the
streets of Benares as seen from an au-
tomobile and still another gave a pam
oramic view of the great wall Of Chi
ma. The motion pictures and slides
together with comprehensive expla-
nations by Mr.. Vickery, gave some very
definite conceptions of the religious
conditions prevailing in the heather
world preceding and following The
coming of the missionaries. The gen.
eral effect of the lecture was to impress
the audience with the vast amount OF
work that had been done, and the vast
amount of missionary work that yet
remains for those who would help
complete the establishment of the
Kingdom Of Christ on earth. Near the
close of the lecture collection was
taken up and the response was quite
liberal. ,l.

WE desire to make a little apology
to the Columbia State. We criticised
it for the use Of the expression "robber
tariff" Ordinarily, we do not approve
Of the use of harsh expressions. We
think they usually weaken the force
Of an argument, or even protest. But
upon reflection, we will have to admit
that the tariff, even Of today Is spe-
cies of robbery, legal robbery maybe,
but robbery nevertheless, whether it be
levied for protection or for revenue
only. We say this for the reason that
we believe that there can be no such
thing as a just and equitable tariff.
And We will say further that when
this country raises it's revenue by
means Of income, inheritance and ex-
else taxes it will become greater, bet
ter and more powerful.

COLUMBIA has been very much stir
red up this week over the action of
Rev. Arthur Kennedy In throwing a
lady's dog out Of the church window
last Sunday, and the case has actually
gone to the magistrates court. Mr..
John ]. McMahan attacked the preach
er in a newspaper article and Mr.. w.
II. Lyles defended him in the same
manner. According to Mr.. McMahan,
the preachers action was an unneces-
sary pandering to the sensational, and
according to Mr.. Lyles it was a very
timely and proper thing to do, espe-
cially as the dog was a very vicious
one, and had driven back others who
had attempted to put him out. How
the whole thing will be finally settled,
remains to be seen; but as the case
stands, we are rather inclined to side
with the preacher. Although not eX-
actly like Mary's little lamb, even a
well behaved dog in church is a nui-
sance, and vicious one Is all the more
out of place. 1t was pretty bad that
the preacher had this unpleasant duty
to perform; but since the duty did fall
upon him and he did not dodge 1t, he
ought to be entitled to full credit.

Most of the authorities seem to be
agreed that there has been a reduction
of from 8 to per cent in the cotton
crop this year.
The Confederate Home in Columbia
was opened last Tuesday afternoon.
Altogether there are eighteen veterans
domiciled in the home, one from each
of eighteen counties. Jas. A. Clark of
Rock Hill, who belonged to company
B. Fourth South Carolina cavalry, Is
credited to York county.
The rains Of the past few days have
been general and the indications seem
to promise quite a grassy time.
Congressman Finley is at home for
about two weeks. He says the house is
doing nothing but keep in session by
meeting about twice a week. When
the senate will get through with the
tariff bill, he has no idea. r'
Mr.. j. B. Lee has been elected mayor
Of Spartanburg on an issue Of public
ity to council proceedings, or in other
words, open sessions. For some years
past the city council has been holding
It's sessions in secret and the local pub
lie was made aware of little that was
done. If the newspapers got hold of
something that they thought the pub
lie ought to know, and published 1t,
there was no way Of verifying their re-
ports in case of dispute. The council
held that they had been elected by the
public to transact the public business
and that after that 1t was none of the
public's business how that business was
transacted. The issue was made sharp
and clear in the campaign just closed
and the judgment of the public was ex-
pressed in very emphatic manner.

HAS The Enquirer observed the
State failing to work with any other pa
per that leads along Democratic lines
When has the State failed to be DEM
ocratic? The State and the Post were
together last year, and they are togeth-
er now.-Columbia State.
We are not in a bad humOr and we
don't want to provoke our contempor-
ary; but We will try to answer it's ques-
tions, as best we can. We thought the
News and Courier was leading along
Democratic lines when it was trying to
secure the nomination Of John john
son, and we were very much disap-
pointed because the State could not see
it that way. We thought John John
son q better Democrat than Bryan, and
we think so yet. We do not care tn
tell the State that 1t has ever failed
to be Democratic: but we could tell it
Of a time when it was roofing for the
gold standard in the face of a free
coinage plank in the Democratic plat
form, and also we think it was once
very cold toward old man Grover, the
greatest Democrat the country has ever
known. So far as our good friend the
Post is concerned, we will admit that

suPPLIEs FOR NEXT YEAR.

Since the repeal Of the lien law al
the last session Of the legislature, the
probable. methods of business that will
have to be developed under the inevi-
table readjustment, have been receiv-
ing more or less consideration at the
hands of those interested. While
those people who are accustomed to
look ahead have done not little think
ing, very few, IL any Of them, have yet
been able to evolve definite settle
ment of all the pending problems.
1.-The principal effect of the change
said a supply man, discussing the sub
ject with reporter few days ago
Twill be felt by the larger supply
houses-those that are incorporated or
those that have large capital and do
extensive business; but I am not in
clined to think that the smaller con-
Germs will note a great deal of diff
ference. 49, g'.
II put It this way for the reason, that
as rule the proprietors Of the small
er, individual concerns are in closer
touch with their patrons. Most Of the
customers of the smaller concerns are
In pretty close touch with the manage
ment. More often than otherwise, their
business relations are bound with ties
of personal friendship that are better
security than lien papers.
"Of course, the actual taking and
signing of the lien has been necessary
in the bulk Of the lien business that
has been done. The lien has been a
basis of credit to people who could not
have gotten credit in any other way;
but the larger proportion Of this kind
of cases, especially in this section, will
be found with houses whose business
Is too extensive to admit Of Intimate,
personal relations with all their GUS
toners.
II am inclined to think that many of
the larger supply concerns will be
forced out Of business entirely. 9th
ers, however, will make certain changes
and continue For time at least, 1t
will be the policy of some to hit upon
some expedient whereby they can
bridge over with croppers and renters
until the crops come up and then take
chattel mortgages. Just how this Is
going to work I cannot say yet; but
it will be tried, especially in the case
Of renters Many Of the people who
have heretofore been getting along very
nicely as renters, will necessarily be
forced to the position Of croppers, be-
cause, except in unusual cases, mer-
chants are not going to take risks
without requiring landlords to be
equally responsible. ..... ...
But, however, it may be in the
hereafter" the speaker concluded, Il
feel pretty sure that there Is going to
be a mighty settling up this fall, the
like of which the country has never
known before. Old liens used to go
over from year to year. 1t was an
evasion of the law; but still 1t was
done. There can be no more Of that,
and this fact will call for a full and
complete settlement" Cd
