Aimed at the South.-Senator Ell
kins Of West Virginia, was emphatic
Wednesday, in an interview on the
Payne bill.
Among other things, this new bill
is an attack on the interests of the
SOUTH" he said, "and the fight will ar
ray north and south against each 9TH
er in a commercial conflict while the
bill Is before congress.
Mark you! The south Is an empire
by itself and is fast coming to the idea
Of protection. Some Of the leading
statesmen Of the south are somewhat
in sympathy with the idea Of free raw
materials, but these same statesmen
are held down by the ties Of their par
ty, which do not permit support or
protective measures.
"The tariff bill, II passed In its pres
ent shape, will hinder and impair the
development Of the south and hamper
the progress Of every southern state,
which has been wonderfully on the in
crease under the present tariff laws.
IF congress passes the bill as 1t Is
now, you will see a cut in wages, es-
pecially in the steel and iron mills Of
the country. 1t Is inevitable and I
promise to do my best against any law
that will cut wages"

vertised to open shop in Yorkville. 8.
c., and heal the sick and cure the Grip
Piles. 1t was faced there by the infor-
nation that 1t could do no business
in South Carolina because 1t is not rec
ognized by the state board. Of medical
examiners Of South Carolina as being
in reputable standing. The Enquirer
says: There were some seventy-five
or one hundred people on hand during
the day, in response to the advertised
announcement, and to these DR.. En-
gleman explained the situation, ex-
pressed his regrets and suggested that
such of his callers as could do so, might
write to the Cleveland headquarters,
explain their ailments and receive
treatment" The concern may not be
a fake and may be able to do what 1t
advertises to do, but those seventy-f1ve
or one hundred afflicted York county
people could find doctors at their own
doors who could do as much for them
as doctors anywhere else could do.

law, at least.-Charlotte Chronicle.

SMALLPOX SITUATION.

There have been no new cases Of
smallpox since the last issue of The
Enquirer, so far as can be learned by
inquiry Of the authorities this morn
ing, and with the exception Of Hiram
Alexander, who died at the county
home last Tuesday night, all the other
cases mentioned are getting along
nicely.
The cases at the York cotton mill
are those Of Mrs. Joseph Pugh, Mrs.
Kirby Pugh and daughter, Mr.. Robert
Price, and Miss Julia Williams. Miss
jamie Pugh, who was mentioned as
acting as nurse for the others, is Sis
ter Of Kirby Pugh, who died, instead
of a daughter as stated, and Is still
acting as nurse with no sign Of Ill ef-
fects except perhaps from anxiety and
continued strain.
There was a rumor on the street this
morning that Peter McFadden, the
negro victim was dead, but inquiry by
telephone Of people living in the vicin-
ity developed that Peter Is getting
along very nicely. The rumor was
only one of the many such stories that
gain currency from irresponsible
sources under such circumstances.
Hiram Alexander, the man who died
at the county home on Tuesday night
was an aged and decrepit INDECENT
There is no doubt of the fact that he
had a genuine case Of smallpox, and
that his death was due to that disease;
but at the same time his condition was
such that he would not have been able
to withstand any of the lesser sporadic
contagious.
DR.. c. F. Williams, secretary Of the
state board Of health was in Yorkville
last Tuesday, and took look over the
situation. He expressed himself as
we'll satisfied with the steps that had
been taken by the local health author
tiles, and was not able to offer any
additional advice, except that the vac
cination campaign should be continued
Vaccination has been more general
throughout Yorkville than for many
years, and sore arms are common ev-
erywhere, especially among the schoo
children and mill operatives. The
colored population has also been vac
cinated quite generally.
Information from the York cottor
mill village, is that while strict quar-.
antine is being maintained around the
known cases as we'll as the suspects
there is little apprehension or fear oi
further spread of the disease. The mil
is running night and day and there Is
no scarcity Of help.
The town Of Yorkville continues tc
maintain a strict quarantine against
the York cotton mill village; but the
quarantine does not extend to people
coming into town from the country.
Because Of wild reports, the town Of
Chester has quarantined against the
York cotton mill village and is watch
ing the trains for people who may
come in from that place; but because
of the regulations here, the Chester
authorities will hardly have occasion
to hold anybody up.
The Chester Reporter, which reach
ed Yorkville this morning, had an ac-
curate and common sense statement OF
the situation at this place.

half for the other" There was big
poplar log with a partially sawed slab
lying down beside the mill. But l
don't want any more like that" said
Mr.. Logan. What Ia the matter with
that?" the reporter asked. Mails"
the sheriff explained, "and they have
ruined a set Of saw teeth for me-"
That is one great trouble with much of
the timber about town. 1t is more la
BILE to be full of nails.

paid much attention to the tariff. They
have always been opposed to a protec-

able to see where they will be helped
or hurt by changes: but they count
for very little. They seem to be able

Republicans northwest, fight for the

pensioners were formerly on the rolls
at a lower scale this figure does moi
represent the total increase of the pen
sion rolls on account Of special legis-
lation. Since the close of the civil wal
in 1865 there has been paid in pen
sions the sum of $3,654,643,365 and the
cost of maintaining pension agencies
and administration of the pension bu-
reau has been s112.S52,477. In 1902
there were 999,446 pensioners on the
roll at an expense of s137,504,267. Since
that time the number of pensioners
has decreased to 951,6SI, but owing tc
the passing of the McCumber age law
and the Sulloway widow law, the ap-
preparations to pay pensions increased
to $153,093,062 for the last year. 1t is
estimated that $4,000 pensioners died
during the last year. 1t is estimated
that within ten years the pension rol
will not carry over s75.000,000 or $780,
100000 unless additional Legislation
should be enacted.
In the discussion of the tariff bill
in the house last Wednesday, Repre-
sentative Brantley Of Georgia, after
saying that the Payne bill had been
prepared by the majority members OF
the ways and means committee in Sc
cret conference, declared 1t was report
ed to the house before the minority
members had an opportunity to study
it. He devoted most of his speech tC
criticising the Republicans for theiI
excessive appropriations and said we
are now spending more money than any
other country in the world. The point
has been raised, he said, that it will
be necessary to issue bonds to meet
the expenses of the government. Rep
resentative Douglas said the people ot
the country would not approve of the
tax on coffee. Mr.. Payne, the chair

a MODERN SANTA

Some "Smartys" say that Santa
rides
In an auto nowadays:
That through the mud and slush
he glides
In the newest, latest craze.
That reindeer are little slow,
And sleigh-bells are a way-back
type;
A lit cigar looks well you know
Better than a stumpy pipe.
With cap and goggles on his brow,
A fashioned costume looking new,
No enc would know the Santa now
That once came dawn the
chimney flue.
He brings the presents without fail.
But rings the bells and hands
them in
Or sends them by express or
mail
Then rides as fast as he can spin.
This Santa in an Oldsmobile
Resembles much a silly donk (ey)
And those he passes, hears a
squeal
And that dreadful. honk, honk
honk!
Old fashioned Santa, welcome back,
With reindeer and the sleigh
bells dash
A thousand toys in your knap-sack,
And let the auto go to smash.
