A dispatch from Buenos Ayres,
states that the Argentine government
has handed DR.. Villazon, the Bolivian
minister, his passports and ordered
him 10 leave Argentina in twenty
four hours. 1t has telegraphed to
Senor Fonseca, its minister at La
Paz, to leave the Bolivian capital I'M
mediately. The delivery of his pass
ports to the Bolivian minister by Ar
gentina, an act which is practically
a declaration of war, was not entire
ly unexpected. Ever since President
Alcorta of Argentina recently decid-
ed the boundary dispute between
Peru and Bolivia In favor of the for
mer country, war cloud has been
looming up on the Bolivian horizon.
There have been several serious dem
onstrations against the Argentine
embassies in several Bolivian cities,
notably La Paz, Sucre and Tarja, and
when Argentina demanded repara-
ton the attitude of President Monies
of Bolivia in intimating that nothing
more than an apology would be made
received the enthusiastic approval OF
the Bolivians. The beginning of the
trouble dates back several years. A
number of years ago the Peruvian
government asserted it's claim to con-
siderable territory which was under
the rule of Bolivia. This claim was
vigorously combated by Bolivia and
finally, after much argument which
had no result, it was decided to leave
the decision to President Alcorta of
Argentina. The facts of the case were
laid before him in minute and Volu-
minous detail, and he finally submit
ted an arbitral award, in which he
dismissed Rolivias claim to the
greater portion of the disputed strip.
The result of this decision was almost
Immediately apparent. President
Monies Of Bolivia advised his people
to be calm, but he himself was vast
ly displeased at the action of the ref
cree, and it is said that in letters to
the projects throughout Bolivia he
had expressed antagonistic senti-
ments toward Argentina. The Boil
Wan press. too, was loud in its
charges of partiality displayed by Ar
gentina toward Peru, and its advice
to resist President Alcorta's award
was gladly accepted by the Bolivians.
Mobs formed in the streets Of the
larger cities, loudly demanding war
with Argentina. This excitement was
not enough, however, and it was not
long before some leaders suggested
demonstration against the Argen-
tine embassies and consulates. At
Tupiza. the Argentine consul had to
flee for his life before the fury Of the
mob. which wrecked his offices, and
in La PaZ, Sucre and Tarja the mobs
were so threatening that troops of
Bolivian cavalry were sent to guard
the Argentine and the Peruvian le-
cations.

Mr.. w. D. Grist, editor Of The En-
quirer, left last Friday evening for
Charleston to take a Clyde line steam
er for New York, from which place 1t
Is his purpose to make a tour Of New
England, returning in about two weeks.
Mr.. Grist has been at his post in the
editorial chair of The Enquirer for
something more than twenty years,
with but two vacations Of as much as
four days in length, and his co-work-
ers on the paper have insisted that he
take short vacation. Having never
been north of Baltimore, he decided to
take in New York and New England,
and come back by way of Philadelphia.
Atlantic City, Baltimore and Wash
ington. Although it was with consid-
cradle reluctance that he finally con-
sented to take the trip, his co-workers
believe he will enjoy it, and because
ne has never been able to leave The
Enquirer's readers out Of his mind, ex-
cept while asleep we feel pretty sure
that he will send us some interesting
copy for them also. That, however,
will depend on the opportunity he
might have for writing, while hurrying
from one place to another In the
meantime, the balance of the staff will
keep the paper going as we'll as it can,
feeling sure that our readers will be
duly charitable of such shortcomings
as might appear.

COMMENTING upon Judge Hudson's
service on the circuit bench Of South
Carolina, the News and Courier OF
Friday says:
For the long time that he was on the
circuit bench Judge Hudson was rec
ognized generally as without a supe-
rior as a jurist in the state, and yet we
dare say that he could not have in
dulged the average judges boast of
being seldom reversed by the courts
above. Rather did Judge Hudson at
times invite reversal. Legal prece-
dents claimed his respect but had no
terrors for him; he was what few
judges in these times are capable of
being or dare to be, an expounder of
legal principles, a judge who blazed
paths and not one who tracked SER
vilely in the footsteps Of others. A
vigorous, forceful, bold thinker, always
a worker, a scorner Of trivialities and
yet a man well poised, the South Car
olina bar has had few lawyers In the
later years who contributed so much
to that public respect in which 1t is
properly held.

BASEBALL NOTES.

The Ogden boys have organized a
baseball team and are about ready to
play ball. Mr.. T. E. Steele. Rock Hill,
r. F. D. No. 5, is manager.
1t hasn't yet, but who knows but
that York county may produce Chris
ty Matthewson or a Ty Cobb?
The ball game at Glover on Friday
afternoon, between Glover and York
VILE was delayed more than an hour,
because Of the failure Of several Of the
Yorkville team to arrive sooner, but
the game was all right when it did
start, both sides playing good ball.
The score was to in favor Of Glover.
The batteries were: Yorkville-Smith
and Belts; Clover-Clinton and Nell.
Umpire, Oscar Nell.
They came. They saw. They con-
quered. And incidentally added a
scalp to the big chiefs baseball belt
and a wad Of "wampum" to his bank
account. The game yesterday be-
tween the Cherokee Indians and team
Of Yorkville ball players wasn't much
of a game from the standpoint OF the
baseball fan, but as a novelty 1t was
all to the good. The Indians are pro-
fessional players and every one Of
them is in the big league class, and Of
course, they were expected to outplay
the locals at every stage Of the game,
and they did, but for all that the game
was interesting. Manager Wither-
spoon got together a good team and
had 1t not been that they were play
ing against professionals they would
have given a good account Of them
selves, but as 1t was every man on the
team knew from the first ball that
they were outclassed and could only
play the game for their part Of the
gate receipts and for the amusement
of the six or seven hundred people
who had paid admissions for the af-
ternoon game. The Indians didn't
have to work for the II runs they
made, they were just running the
bases for the exercise, and to give an
idea Of what they could do If they
were put to It. Their base running
was fine, their fielding was good and
the work Of the pitcher and catcher
was almost perfect. They were parti-
cularly after the "wampum" and they
got that and the Yorkville fans have
no kick on the game the locals put
up for tneir share Of the gate receipts.
The score in the afternoon game was
II to I. In the evening the game was
Ia L. 1nsa 20
sized crowd The game at night was
interesting only because Of its novelty
features The score was II to 2 in
favor Of the Indians.

ternoon for Winnsboro for series OF

PICNIC AT FILBERT.

An ideal day, a big crowd, a good
address and plenty Of dinner were the
features of the annual picnic at Fill
bert last Saturday, under the auspices
Of the Filbert camp Woodmen Of the
World. The picnickers came from
all parts of the county in large num-
bers and everyone seemed to enjoy
the day to its full measure.
! The committee Of arrangements
had invited a number Of prominent
men to make addresses during the
day, but for one reason or another,
with the exception of 7. B. Butler,
Esq, of Gaffney, none Of these put in
an appearance.
M. B. Jennings, Esq, Of Yorkville,
was requested to act as chairman and
after an appropriate prayer by Rev.
R. M. Stevenson, D. D., Of Glover,
Mr.. Butler was introduced. He made
an entertaining talk in which he con-
fined his remarks principally to fra
ternal orders, their object, their
work and what they had and were
accomplishing in this and other parts
Of the country. Mr.. Buffers remarks
were we'll received by his hearers.
At the conclusion Of Mr.. Buffers
talk Mr.. Jennings proposed the TAX
ing of free will offerings for the BEN
eft Of the monument fund for the
Women of the Confederacy. A hat
was placed on the speakers stand
and the sum of $40 was contribut-
ed, which was turned over to DR..
Stevenson to be forwarded to the
Columbia State.
AS is always the case at Filbert,
there was an abundance Of good
things to eat, and the many visitors
who came unprepared to minister to
the wants of the inner man were well
taken care Of by those who had pre-
pared for themselves and others. Af-
ter every one had eaten until they
were satisfied there yet remained al
most enough to feed as many more.
Good music was furnished at fire.
quent intervals by the Yorkville cor
net band.
The day was largely spent in social
intercourse, talking about the crops.
the roads and other things Of Inter-
est, and as usually is the case, the
Filbert picnic Of 1909 was a pro-
nounced success.

Nc matter what changes are made
tr the tariff law, as 1t now stands
there is very little probability that the
manufacturers and raw material pro-
ducers Of the south will be very ma
terially benefited. The making of the
tariff law Is in the wrong hands for
the south to benefit. But it is to be
hoped that the tariff will be finally
settled soon, as then business condi-
tions will settle down to a level and
business Of all kinds will move along
with more confidence.

WITH seven banks already estab-
;isled In York county and all willing
and anxious to take care Of savings
accounts and pay interest on such
deposits, it would seem that condi-
.ons are ideal for teaching the young
rr citizens of the county and some OF
tie older ones, too, the ultimate ben
etits that are to come from systematic
savings. Careful saving does not
mean stinginess or penuriousness. l,
is a habit that will grow, once 1t gets
q fair start.

TRUCK farming has never been given

TRUCK farming has never been given
a great deal of attention in this coun-
ty, but it is probable that If truck rails
ing were given a fair trial 1t would
soon prove that there is more money
in raising Irish potatoes than there IL
in cotton. Potatoes will produce from
100 to 500 bushels per acre and at 75
cents a bushel they will beat cotton all
to pieces. If the potatoes are raised
there will develop a market for all that
the county can raise. 1t wouldn't take
long for the commission man to find
out where he could buy potatoes In
quantities and he would soon be here
to do the buying.
