retically the delegates to such a con-
yention are supposed to take in full
comprehension of all the proceedings,
and take an intelligent account of them
back to the people they represent; but
| in practice it does not work that way.
There. were some most excellent pa
pers read at this convention. They are
the result Of the concentrated thought
| of men and women OF experience.
They were listened to by the delegates
with close attention and very great in
terest. Every delegate present got new
and valuable ideas in Sunday school
work. and not a little inspiration; but
for any one of those delegates to be
able to take back to his or her Sunday
school more than a general idea OF
what was said and done, Is a physical
impossibility.
1t Is rarely the case that the newspa-
pers attempt to make a full report OF
convention Of this kind. 1t is not be-
cause of a lack Of interest. On the
contrary the newspapers are always
among the most interested. The great
est trouble with most of the newspa-
pers is the same as that which mas
been indicated with reference to the
delegates. The making Of full and
comprehensive reports-the oniy KIND
of reports that can be of value Is be-
yond their ability.
Because from the programme as pub
lished some time ago, we conceived that
the papers to be read In this conven-
ton would be we'll worth while, espec-
tally il they could be circulated among
the Sunday school people Of this sec
ton, and notwithstanding the under
taking involved an outlay Of labor and
expense far out of the usual. we decid-
ed to make the most Of the opportunity,
and hence the two extra pages that
are included in today's Issue of The
Enquirer.
We do not feel called upon to under
take the criticism Of these papers. Up
on the whole, they are most excellent.
There may be that which Is impracti-
cable In all of them; but there Is not
one that Is not we'll worth the reading,
and we'll calculated to do more or less
good for those who read 1t.

Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
Sharon, June lion last Tuesday,
little Cathleen Lemmond, daughter of
Mrs. Fernie Lemmond, whose home is
near Bullock's Creek church, was bitten
by dog believed to have been suffer-
ing with hydrophobia. The victim has
been taken to the Pasteur Institute in
Atlanta for treatment. The dog was
killed and its head was sent to the At
lanta institute.
The plans for the home of the First
National Bank of Sharon have been
completed The building Is to be of
brick, one story, % by 40 feet inside
measure, and will be located on the cor
ner Of Shelby and York streets and will
be equipped with every convenience for
conducting business safely and eco
nomically. 1t is the purpose Of the di-
rectors to perfect arrangements for
erecting the building without delay
There was meeting Of the directors on
yesterday.
Mr. S. B. Pratt is erecting a neat
frame building on the east side of Shell
by street, south Of A. +. PleXico's fur
niture store 1t is the understanding
that it is to be used either as a sample
the ultimate decision depending on
which promises the best return on the
investment.
Mr.. w. L. Hill fully appreciates the
value of good roads and is anxious that
more permanent work be done on some
of the roads leading to Sharon and has
recently proposed to a number of far
mers living north of here that If they
will put in as much as a weeks time
with their teams i'm hauling rock after
crops are laid by to repair the road
leading to Sharon, and which they
travel. he will furnish four two-horse
teams for the same length of time, and
he calculates that owing to the abund-
ance of suitable rock and its conven-
lent location, q sufficiency can be hauled
in six days to build first-class road
for several miles. The question as to
whether or not the proposition will be
accepted has not been definitely decid-
ed as yet.
More buildings-dwellings, stores,
etc.-have been erected at Sharon dur
ing the past six months than during
the previous five years combined, and
the end is not yet. Just watch her
grow. She's just getting cleverly start

Mrs. J. S. Grier returned to Sharon
this week, after spending several weeks
visiting relatives in North Carolina.

SENATOR Bailey has defended his al
legged protection votes by quoting rule
said to have been laid down by Presi-
dent Polk to the effect that so long as
duty on a given article may be rails
ed without decreasing the revenue from
that article, the process is we'll within
the limits of Democratic sanction. We
have not taken the trouble to look up
what President Polk said on the sub
ject. We are not prepared to accept
it as Democratic dictum even If Pres
ident Polk did say it. We are not pre-
pared to denounce it as unsound DEM
ocracy whether Polk said 1t or not. We
recognize that the line between tariff
for protection and tariff for revenue
only is so finely drawn that there is
room for wide difference Of opinion as
to where Democratic principles end
and Republican principles begin. But
applying the Polk rule % lumber, we
think the duty is very we'll calculated
to raise some revenue. We are quite
sure that there would be no revenue
from free trade. We are inclined to
think that the duty will have little or
no effect on the price of southern lum-
Der, one way or the other. But this is
just as it appears to us. We have not
taken the trouble to investigate the
bealing of the lumber tariff on local
conditions. AS we understand 1t, we
do not import any lumber into South
Carolina, or very little, if any. and it
makes but little difference to our own
people how much they pay, so long as
their money remains at home. But
when it comes to tea, there is no doubt
of the fact that the duty Of 10 cents a
pound is well within Mr.. Bailey's al
legged rule. A duty of 10 cents would
not keep out a single pound of eastern
tea. We doubt If it would raise the
price of the Summervile tea, for as we
understand 1t, the tea raised at
Summerville, always retails at a dollar
or more. But at the same time this tea
duty would raise a very considerable
amount of revenue for the government.
Somehow, it strikes us that there is
very little in the whole matter other
than something to quarrel about

MOlERNIZEl JAIL.

At last York county is to have what
various grand juries and The Enquirer
have been hammering upon for a good
many years, a safe, secure, convenient
and sanitary jail.
Provision was made at the last ses-
sion of the general assembly to raise
$4,000 to be used for the purpose men
toned and at a meeting of the county
board of commissioners yesterday, a
contract was let for the installation OF
eight steel cells.
There were number of Jail men
here to bid on the work, among them
being representatives of the Pauley jail
company. the Camden Iron works, the
Manley Jail Building works, the e. T
Barron Jail Building company, and the
Southern Structural Steel company
The contract was let to the last
named concern, which has its head
quarters at San Antonio, Texas, and
which is represented by Messrs. Young
blood, for $4,100. This was $1OO over
the appropriation. but it was the best
that could be done under the circum-
stances.
Under their contract, Messrs. Young
blood are to put in a system of eight
modern steel cells, each 7X7 feet, separ-
ated by two corridors each 81 feet wide
and so arranged that any one or all of
them may be opened and closed by the
operation of a system of levers from
the outside. The hunks of the prison.
ers are attached to the walls of the
cells and each cell is supposed to be
capable of holding four men with rea-
sunable comfort.
Before the work of installing the
steel cells is commenced, it will be
necessary to remodel the upper floor of
the building, and substitute for the
present floor a new one Of REINFORCED
concrete. The floor will be so arranged
that it may be quickly and easily
cleaned with a stream of water from a
hose.
Just what the entire job of remodel
ing and rearranging is to cost, has not
been definitely estimated: but the con-
crete work is to be done independently
of the steel work. and 1t alone may call
for the expenditure of several thousand
dollars.
The York county Jail has long been
sadly inadequate to modern require
ments, and in many respects a reproach

Some of the wheat raisers complain
Of having had to pay $3.50 a day for
cradling The best way to get around
this, Is to have enough wheat to war
rant the use of binder. It Is to be
hoped that the wheat acreage will be
largely increased next year.
We have just received copy Of the
Winthrop announcements for 1909-1910,
and note with much pleasure the credi-
table manner In which the printers
have acquitted themselves. Heretofore
this catalogue has been printed In Co
lumbia and elsewhere. This year 1t
was done by the Rock Hill Record.
Delegates of the various Sunday
schools to the York county convention
pledged their respective schools to pay
$215 for the various uses Of the asso-
citation. Some of the delegates were
unprepared to make pledges until they
had laid the matter before their res
pective Sunday schools and will report
later.
Two good farmers, one from Bethel
and the other from Kings Mountain
township. stated in the presence Of the
reporter yesterday, that each Of Them
had only gotten in three days plowing
in three weeks. They both declare that
they are decidedly 'in the grass" and
they say they have lots OF company,
which fact is hardly to be denied.
The executive committee Of the York
County Sunday School association will
do we'll to take the hint of the season
and fix the date of the next conven-
ton at time when the country people
are not so busy with their crops. The
attendance this year was remarkably
large considering the stress of farm
conditions; but at an easier time, the
attendance would be much larger.
Mr.. r. 3. Riddle, proprietor of Rid
dies Champion Roller mill, says that
the wheat crop, although not as large
as it ought to be, is much better this
year than usual. Harvest Is pretty we'll
over and people generally who have
wheat, are congratulating themselves
on having sowed it. The oGt crop is
also much better than it seemed to
promise a few weeks ago.
The report The Enquirer prints to-
day of the proceedings Of the second
annual convention of the York County
Sunday School association will not sur
prise the readers of The Enquirer; but
it will surprise all the other county pa
pers in South Carolina. No county pa
per of this state other than The En-
quirer would have thought of attempt
ing what We have accomplished.
At the request of The Enquirer, Miss
Mamie Steele, secretary Of the York
County Sunday School association,
made strenuous efforts to induce all
the people who were to read papers to
send their photographs for use in con-
nection with the proceedings. The gen.
tlemen responded, but the ladies, to
the very great disappointment Of the
public we are sure, held back. We are
presenting portraits Of all the subjects
of whom we have been able to obtain
photographs.

In referring to certain observations
in The Enquirer recently, the Column
bia State remarked that it was made
to blush for The Enquirer's weakness
Disavowing the slightest humiliation
because of this remark, we desire to
further observe that while we are con-
scious Of much weakness, we think the
State could afford to be more charita-
BILE in it's references. This is import
ant. Our contemporary is anxious
for discussion of important matters
about which South Carolina newspa-
per readers generally know very lit
tie. because heretofore there has been
a lack Of discussion. But remarks OF
the kind the State has seen proper to
make are not calculated to encourage
discussion. Newspapers that are wiser
than The Enquirer, but at the same
time less sensitive, shrink from being
made the target of sighting remarks OF
any kind. Having long since become
accustomed to this kind OF thing, The
ENQUIRER Is not quite so sensitive. But
still we do not like to have our weak
ness shouted out to the world by pa
per of the circulation, prestige and
power of the State. OF course, we are
aware that if we had not repeated the
States slight, our own readers, or many
of them, at least, would have never
known that it Is blushing for our weak
ness. But the repetition Of the slight
is necessary in order that we might
drive home the important point We are
trying to make. Really and truly we
think the State should be more con-
siderate of it's more humble county ex-
changes. All Of them, most of them
certainly, want to do what is right; but
they must be shown.

Sunday School Convention.

While there may be some reason fol
doubt as to the advisability of an inter-
denominational Sunday school associa-
ton. there is RIO question of the tre-
mendous Importance of Sunday school
work, and conventions such as that held
in Yorkville this week cannot but re-
suit in good.
But for the great mass of Sunday
school teachers and others interested
to get the full benefit of a convention
like this. 1t is necessary for them to
know what was said and done Theo-

FRIDAY, JUNE II, 1909.

THE Columbia State asks us II we
are familiar with the platforms ON
which Johnson campaigned for gov
ernor. We are not nearly so familiar
with the platforms on which Johnson
campaigned as.we are with the differ-
ent platforms on which Bryan cam
paigned. Our impression is that for
his present term. Johnson campaigned
principally on his record during two
previous terms. Beyond this, 1t Is
hardly worth while to go into details
at present.

posed improvements, though coming
late, will in a large measure make up
for previous Indifference and neglect.
