FARMERS INSTITUTE.

There were nearly two hundred peo-
pie at the opening Of the three days
Farmers Institute which was COM
menced in the court house at York
Vile yesterday morning under the
auspices Of the bureau Of plant indus
try of the department of agriculture
and the attendance this morning con-
tinued to show a gratifying interest In
the efforts Of the different able speak
ers, who are seeking to help solve
many of the different problems that
confront the farmers.
The meeting yesterday was called
to order by Hon. j. S. Brice with a
few happily conceived Introductory re-
marks, quite appropriate to the occa-
sion, and opened with an earnest
prayer by Rev. E. e. Gillespie, after
which Miss Pauline Gwaltney, by spe-
cial request, rendered some delightful
selections on the piano. that were very
much enjoyed by the entire audience.
MIR. James Henry Rice, president of
the Audubon society Of South Carolina
was introduced as the first speaker.
His speech had not been previously
announced but it proved to be good
one, we'll worth while. He began by
giving a history Of the society, which
owes its origin to the great ornitholo-
gist, Audubon, and devoted his talk
mainly to discussion Of birds in
their relation to agriculture. He gave
facts and figures to illustrate the de-
structiveness of various kinds Of in
sects, and showed how the problems
Of existence are multiplied by the un-

Should be Reoruanized.

The farmers of York county have
made a serious mistake in allowing
the county organization Of the Far
mers' Union to fall through, and they
should at once proceed with the worl
of reorganization.
We are quite we'll aware Of the fac
that great many people are disposed
to blame the Union with various short
comings; but we have no sympathy
with any of the reproaches that have
been offered.
Without attempting to give our rea-
sons in details, we want to Nay thai
the Farmers Union has been Of very
great value and benefit to the farmer:
of the south, and we believe right now
that except for the intelligence with
which the Farmers Union has beer
managed and it's strength, cottor
would right now be selling at 10 cents
a pound or less.
All other crafts, classes and bust.
nesses are organized, and the farmer:
should be organized also. The Union
which has benefited by all the expe.
rience Of the grange and the alliance
is the best organization the farmers
have ever had.
We hope to see the Farmers Un-
ion Of York county completely reor'
ganized as soon as possible, and we
hope that it will include in its mem.
bership all Of the best, most progress
sive and intelligent farmers Of York
county,

THERE is some skepticism as to

THERE is some skepticism as to
whether DR.. Frederick A. Cook was
really at the north pole. A few scien-
fists insist that it was next to impos-
sible for him to have travelled over
portions of his journey as rapidly as
he claimed. Others, including the vast
majority Of those who are personally
more or less familiar with Arctic con-
ditions, believe every statement thai
DR.. Cook has made. The doctor state:
also that his notes of observations
made along his route will furnish in
disputable proof of the correctness OF
all that he has claimed. He says he
is not surprised that there are doubt
ers; but he is not at all worried. Hi;
first account of his trip and his dis
covery as cabled to the New York
Herald from the Shetland Islands, is
characterized by many of the newspa-
per editors as a classic that will be
classed among the gems Of literature
but still other editors insist that it is
unsatisfactory and unconvincing. And
so it goes. There have always beer
those who would doubt and those who
would believe and of course, 1t will be
so always. 1t does seem strange. how
ever that DR.. Cook would attempt tc
make false claims in a matter like
this, for he would certainly have sense
enough to know that whether he was
the first to reach the pole or not, II
would surely be reached sooner or
later, and false claims would only
bring him into ridicule and contempt

Accumulate Something.

About the best counsel that We are
able to offer young men, who are
reaching the age when they begin to
inquire what's the use Of 1t all any
way" Is to go to work in a steady, hon
est fashion to produce and accumulate
something.
| Most boys who reach manhood's es-
tate, arrive there with a well defined
desire that they have brought from
childhood to have things; but only a
small per cent Of them are at the same
time possessed of the knowledge that
the only satisfactory way Of getting
things Is through earnest, honest eff
forts Of their own.
It is not an uncommon thing for
boys to be the possessor Of fond and
indulgent parents, who believe in CIV
ing them whatever they want; but 1t
is a rare thing indeed, to find happy
boy, or happy man among those so
circumstanced. To undertake to ex-
plain why this is so, would require a
great deal of writing; but waving ex-
plantations with simple statement of
conclusion, we would say that it is
not permitted to men to really enjoy
anything except that which they have
fairly and honorably won.
We would not advise young men to
accumulate merely in order that they
might have. AS has already been sug-
gested, the mere having does not bring
satisfaction. The satisfaction comes,
if it comes at all, from the mental and
physical exercise that grows out Of
useful employment, and the conscious
ness Of having accomplished some
thing that is worthy.
OF course, we are very we'll aware
that this doctrine will not meet with
immediate or general approval from
those for whose benefit it is being set
down. 1t Is contrary to the ideas of
most young men on the subject, and
we are sorry to say, that 1t is contrary
to the ideas of many old men. But
while we would not think Of declaring
the fact that it will not meet with
approval proves its correctness, We
will say that if we were sure Of imme-
diate and general approval, it would
be so unnecessary as not to be worth
while.
| There are great many young men
who desire to accumulate, and we re-
gret to know that there are not a few
who feel that it is a matter of small
consequence as to how they do it, so
they keep out of the clutches of the
law. This is also serious mistake as
full many a man generally thought to
be prosperous and happy, knows to his
sorrow. There is no happiness, or
even reasonable satisfaction, in any
accumulation unless that accumula-
tion has come honestly and fairly.
But the young man who starts in to
accumulate by fair honest work, who
wants and will take only that to which
he knows, he is better entitled than is
anybody else, is out for a career of
usefulness, honor and happiness that
never has and never will come to 9TH
crs who have pursued or who may
pursue a different course.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1909-09-07

ing, this sounds easy; but it Is not
easy, and it cannot be accomplished
except by the eternal vigilance Of good
men, constantly seeking the public
welfare, rather than their own selfish
interests. All good men Of observa-
ton and experience know that this and
every other community is infested
with conscienceless self-seekers, who
are always striving to promote their
own domination, regardless Of the
rights of others. and that in many
cases the insidious shrewdness Of this
class of people Is so great as to be cal
culated to deceive the very angels.
Such men seek first, power and au-
thority and regard neither right nor
Justice. The principal concern with
them is not whether the accomplish
ment of a desired end will work a
wrong; but can they do it. Men who
lend themselves to aid in the triumph
Of bad men by questionable means
may feel temporary qualification at
the success to which they have been
parties; but sooner or later they will
find themselves victims to the same
methods they have used against 9TH
ers. This Is not theory, but the i'm
mutable law. The only safeguard to
all men, therefore, is the absolutely
honest and unflinching enforcement OF
the laws of the land. 1t Is often that
men find 1t difficult to do this, because
the laws may be directly opposed to
their interests and desires; but the
safe rule Is to disregard interests and
desires and stand for law, because 1t Is
law. No one should confuse the law
with lawyers-that Is no one should
assume that merely because man
holds a right to practice law, he Is an
exponent Of the law. 1t is fact that
there are plenty Of good, law-abidins
citizens among the lawyers. 1t Is a
fact that among lawyers are to be
found the surest and most infall1ble
defenders of the rights Of the people
and Of the law. But it Is also fact
that among lawyers are found the
worst and most deliberate Of law
breakers-men who use their talents,
their abilities and their energies al
most entirely for the purpose Of de-
feating the law itself, and who, unless
opposed by lawyers Of a higher and
abler type, often succeed in their ef-
forts. The real bulwark Of right and
liberty and law, is to be found inherent
in the breasts and consciences OF an
honest citizenship. regardless Of call
ing, occupation or profession, and
when that honest citizenship ceases to
take notice of the administration OF
the laws, then the established order
of things may we'll begin to tremble
for its continued healthy existence.

covered that he had no clothing suit
able for presentation at court. The
king. when told, said: "Tell him to
come anyway, let him wear his hunt
ing costume. I would rather see him
in this dress than in court attire" ."
So in hunting suit the explorer was
driven to the palace and received by
King Frederick, who embraced the
doctor and showered upon him con-
gratulations The explorer was visibly
affected by the warmth Of the greet
ing. The two discussed many phases
of the north pole discovery for half
an hour, the kings manner showing
the fullest credence Of DR.. Cooks
statements. When Dr. Cook returned
to the hotel he found the kings tailor
there under instructions to supply ev-
erything needed for the explorers
wardrobe. DR.. Cook says he will re-
main in Copenhagen longer than he
first intended.

- Spartanburg Journal, Wednesday:
Wallace Carter, colored, who killed
Sam Kennedy at Glendale yesterday
afternoon about 8 o'clock, was arrested
two hours later at the home Of his
brother on Evins street by Deputy
Sheriff ]. E Vernon and Policeman
Alverson. Carter did not know that
the blow he delivered on Kennedy's
head had proved fatal. for he told the
officers that he did not hit him very
hard. He claimed that he struck
Kennedy to prevent the latter from
knocking him in the head with an axe.
Kennedy and Carter were employed as
hands to clear the right Of way for
the transmission wires Of the South
ern Power company and they fell out
about the work. 1t seems that Carter
was told to give instructions to Ken
nedy and Kennedy, 1t is said, became
incensed because Carter had given
him orders about the work. Carter
stated that Kennedy threatened to cut
off his head with an axe, and throw
it into Lawson's Fork. Kennedy drew
back the axe, according to carter's
statement, and he picked up a stick
Of wood and struck him a blow on the
head. The blow must have been
terrific one, for Kennedy's skull was
fractured and his neck broken.

AND Lieut.. Robert E. Peary has also
been successful in reaching the north
pole. That is the news that came from
the explorer yesterday by cable from
Indian Harbor by Cape Ray, New
Foundland, and published in the af-
ternoon papers, and the morning pa
pers today. The first cable, which was
addressed to the Associated Press
read: STARS and Stripes nailed to
North Pole" Another addressed tc
Herbert L. Bridgeman, Brooklyn, N
Y, said: Pole Reached. Roosevelt
Safe" The Roosevelt is the name Of
Peary's vessel. Still another cable tc
the New York Times says that Peary
reached the pole, April 6, 1909. Pea
ry's expedition left New York, July 7
1908. Another telegram announces
that the Peary expedition saw nothing
of DR.. Cook, and no traces Of him
Lieut.. Peary Is expected to reach
Chateau Bay today, and send full
detailed story from there and the
whole scientific world as well a.
reading people generally, are awaiting
details with breathless interest. AL
ready friends of Cook and Peary are
quarreling; but it is hoped that the
two distinguished explorers will lose
no time in putting a stop to unseemly
and senseless pickering.
