SOME of our North Carolina friend'
are insisting that the battle Of King
Mountain was fought on North Caro-
lima soil. The claim is that the loca-
ton of the battlefield was then In
North Carolina territory. The fact is
that Kings Mountain battle-ground
was once thought to be In North Car
olina; but a correct survey had placed
it in South Carolina previous to 1850
However, We do not see anything to
be gained by quarreling about this
North Carolina, Virginia and South
Carolina all acquitted themselves nobly
that day and there was glory enough
for all. The thing now is for all to
get together and see that the dedica-
ton ceremonies on October Z, are cred
table alike to the splendid victory
and the people who were benefited by
that victory.

Col. Coward, who last week went
over different routes to the monument

which he described the regular battle
ground road as very much improved
as compared with its original condi-
ton, and told of a new route hereto
fore not generally known, that Is quite
practicable for buggies, Surveys and
automobiles. His report generally was
very encouraging, and he was espe-
cially pleased to be able to say that
the Kings Mountain supervisor had
promised to make still further i'm
provement before October Z.
Mr.. A. C. lizard, chairman Of the
committee on transportation, reported
the progress that had been made In
securing reduced rates on the rail-
roads, and in arranging for the trans
portation of visitors from the different
railroad stations, Kings Mountain,
Glover, Yorkville and Grover. The
rates Of transportation as already pub
lished, will be 81 for the round trip in
buggies and surreys, and 81 for the
round trip in wagons.
After discussion Of the question, on
motion, it was agreed to give to Mr..
]. N. McElwee Of Rock Hill, the ex-
elusive right for the sale Of refresh
ments on the grounds, belonging to
the Kings Mountain Monument asso-
citation, the consideration being a spe-
cified per cent Of the gross receipts.

Day convention Of the York County
Rural Carriers association was held
here today with an attendance Of If
teen members, and was called to order

Capt. ]. w. Ardrey delivered q most
thospitable address Of welcome and
Mr.. T. G. Matthews responded. The
visitors were entertained by the local
carriers at the Palmetto hotel, which
served an excellent dinner In dining
room beautifully decorated with Unit
ed States flags. Postmaster Massey
took much interest in the meeting and
delivered quite an enjoyable address.

courtesies, was passed by rising
vote. The next meeting of the associa-

ries for a good year. There were short
talks to the children by Col. A. Cow
ard, Revs. E. E. Gillespie, o. NJ. Alb
ney and T. Tracy Walsh After a
short session, during which arrange
ments were made looking to the early
establishment of the regular routine,
the children were dismissed for the
day.
- There is to be special session Of
the Farmers Institute in the court
house tonight to which the people Of
the town and community generally,
are invited. The features Of the meet
ins will be vocal solo by Miss Theo
Dargan, with Miss pauline Gwaltney
playing the accompaniment, talk
on Birds" by Mr.. James Henry Rice,
and perhaps a shorc talk by Miss Dar-
gan on Rural School Improvement.
The entire programme has not yet
been arranged; but the understanding
now is that other features will be
added, and the occasion generally
will be an Instructive and enjoyable
one.
- -Haag's Mighty shows came to
Yorkville last Saturday, according to
advertised announcement, and gave
two performances. one In the after
noon and the other at night There
were about 1,500 people at the after
noon performance, and hardly more
than 400 at night. Both performances
were given in full, however, and were
quite creditable, although, Of course,
they did not include all the wonder
full features advertised. The gymna-
sium, tight wire, slack wire, trapeze
and somersaultins were all good, as
were also the trained animal acts.
The clowns made the usual lot Of
good fun, the performance generally
was all right. The crowd was much
smaller than usual for a show Of such
size; but this was generally attribu-
table to the fact that the show came
too early In the season. before money
has commend ed to circulate freely.
Quite number Of people remarked
on the moral cleanliness Of the show
and the fact that there were no thiev-
ing, gambling schemes connected with
It. Liquor sellers took advantage of
the occasion and disposed Of several
gallons Of booze" and there were a
number Of drunk people in evidence
during the. day. Taken altogether,
however, the day passed quite salts
factorily.

Now that there has been an appre-
ciable reduction Of the duty on wood
pulp, Canadian interests are bringing
pressure to bear upon the Canadian
government to prohibit the export OF
wood pulp to the United States, and
this means that prices Of paper in this
country will be as high as they have
been or go higher.

Going at II Right.
Mr.. A. c. lizard, chairman of the
transportation committee Of the Kings
Mountain Monument association, re-
ported yesterday that the business
people of the town Of Kings Mountain
have subscribed the sum Of $500, to be
used for the purpose Of putting the
road, from their town to the battle
field, in first class condition.
Determined TO Rsorganizs.
There Is to be reorganization Of
the Farmers Union Of York county.
This statement Is correct, provided the
temper Of some fifteen or twenty I'm
ion men from different parts Of the
county, who held meeting In the
court house yesterday, is the temper
Of the Union Of the county. President
Ashe presided at the meeting. He
stated that there had been general
tagging Of interest In the Union. and
1t was up to the farmers to indicate
whether they propose to keep the Un-
ion UP or let 1t drop. He stated that
at the recent meeting Of the State
Union. there was adopted a resolu-.
ton providing that old members. who
were In arrears less than q dollar could
be reinstated on the payment of their
respective arrearages and those who
were In arrears more than q dollar,
could be reinstated on the payment Of
a dollar. This, provided the applica-
tions for reinstatement are made
within q reasonable time. Several
members made talks In which
they set forth that the Union has been
Of unquestionable benefit to the far
mers and that 1t is more necessary
now than ever. There were number
Of talks in favor Of reorganization,
and to test the sentiment Of the meet
ing, 1t was moved that all in favor Of
allowing the Union to pass out Of ex-
istsace should please rise. Nobody
arose On motion that the Union
should be reorganized without unnec-
essary delay, all present stood up. It
was then resolved that every Union
man present should exert his influence
to induce as many other Union men
as possible to- return to their respec-
tive Unions.

that IL the farmers Of South Carolina
will give less attention to proftless
politics and more attention to the de-
velopment Of their splendid asricui-
tural opportunities, build good roads
and insist on having the best schools,
the time will come when health,
wealth and happiness will bless every
part Of our splendid state.
Mr.. Watsons remarks were listened
to with close attention throughout, and
when he sat down, his audience gave
evidence Of its pleasure in generous
applause.
The attendance this morning was
fully as large as yesterday, and in
cluded quite large number Of leading
farmers from different parts Of the
county, some of them coming twenty
miles. 1t was probably even more
representative than yesterday.
This mornings exercises were OPEN
ed with a beautiful vocal solo by Miss
Theodosia Dargan, Miss Pauline
Gwaltney playing the accompaniment.
The title of her song was "Sing, Sweet
Bird" and 1t was rendered in a man
ner that compelled admiration and ap-
probation. The audience was simply
delighted.
After the solo, Prof. Williams made
a few remarks, in which he discussed
the plant diseases, exhibited in speci-
mems Of cotton brought in by different
farmers during the morning. He iden-
titled "red spider" as the trouble
with most Of the cotton, and said that
the best way to get rid of 1t was to
completely wipe out every vestige of
vegetation upon which the spider could
possibly live through the winter.

ness Of the record will satisfy the SCI
newspaper men but a few minutes.
The gangplank was lowered at ten
o'clock and a welcome, the most unique
in the worlds history, accorded that
discoverer. The entire population of
the city seemed to be at the pier with
thousands who journeyed from all
over Europe. For fifteen minutes the
crowd cheered wildly. The police were
necessary to force way through the
surging throng to take the discoverer
to an automobile and carry him to the
Phoenix hotel. The auto made slow
progress through the crowded streets
and there was wild cheering by the
thousands who blocked the road. DR..
Cook was overcome by emotions; tears
welled his eyes. Il never expected
such a demonstration" he said. 1T
seems too much for what l have
done" The reception room at the no
tel was crowded with the most distin-
guished Danes and when DR.. Cook en-
tered his health was drunk in cham
payne. Johann Hanson, the minister
Of commerce, welcomed Cook in an
enthusiastic address. After the for
NAL reception in the hotel and DR..
Cooks response, at the demands of
the crowd outside he appeared at the
balcony of the hotel, and satisfied the
throng by saying: Il have had too
hard a time getting here to make a
speech. 1 will simply say that I feel
honored to put my foot first on Dan
ish soil on my return" DR.. Cook
then returned to his rooms at the no
tel, to rest and prepare to meet King
Frederick. AS an evidence of the en-
thusiasm of the crowd he found his
clothes torn in a dozen places. His
first embarrassment was when he dis
