school committee. The keys to the
new building were tlrned over to the
sohooi committee by Architect c. H.
Preston, who told of his pleasure in
BENG present at the occasion, spoke
prleay of the harmony that had pre-
vailed all through the work of build
ing, and complimented the people of
Oceum for having such finely equip

children for instruction.
Board of Education Members.
Rev. Charles Smith invoked the Di-
vine blessing following which rerna rzs
were made by Frank 7. Naples and
Frederic H. Cranston, members of the
board of education of the town of Nor
wfch. After paying a compliment to
the hne school building and pointing
out thoes lofty principles for which it
stood Mr.. Naples stated that he did
not know of a parallel instance where
a district had been esta blished the
boundary lines determined, a site for
q schoolhouse fixed upon and where
the building had been erected and all
paid for within the brief space of eight
months time. The whole thing was re-
narkable, and the people of Occum
might well be proud of their accom-
pllshment In conclusion, Mr. Naples
touched upon the harmony that had
existed all along between the town
school board and the local committee,
which had so facilitated and made
pleasant all their laibors
AS chairman of the board of educa-
tom Of the town of Norwich Mr..
Cranston extended a welcome to the
new school district. not because 1t
meant one more. but because the conn
munity needed a school of their own.
He congratulated the people ON the
manner in which they had faced their
former awkward situation, the prompr
and resolute. course they had adopted
in solving the problem of a new school
building, praised the fine site they had
selected and the ma gnif1cent structure,
which was complete in every detail, in
light, ventilation, heat and sanitary
appointments, togther with all those
featues so valuable to the teacher in
the furtherance of his work, and SO es-
sential to the student in the pursuit of
an education.
Mr.. Cranston expressed the hope
that THAT which had been SO well be-
gun would Be but bettered as it COZ

not to live here forever We must learn

According to the bill agreed upon by
the York delegation in the general as
sembly, the York county road law is

JOHN T. Duncan, has commenced the
publication Of a newspaper in Colum-
bia called the Reporter, the evident OBJ
ject Of which Is to throw light on the
character and doings Of certain prom
inent Columbians. The first two issues
devote very considerable space to
Messrs. w. A. Clark, Willie Jones and
w. H. Lyles, being especially hot after
Clark and Jones. In big type at the
beginning Of the first page Of the cur
rent issue, he calls upon Clark and
Jones to resign, the one as member
of the board Of pardons and the other
as chairman of the state Democratic
executive committee, because Of their
with the Seminole affair.
According to Duncan, Clark and Jones
are the real principals in the Seminole
affair, and Darlington and Young are
only scapegoats. Much Of the matter
in the Reporter Is actionable In the
courts; but Duncan, Of course, can
only be held criminally responsible as
he has no property. Duncan, it will be
remembered, was disbared not long
ago for shyster practices.

The Interest Rate.

The question of reducing the legal
rate Of interest in South Carolina to 6
per cent, is again being agitated in the
general assembly as it has been each
year for a number Of years past; but
the probability is that there will be
nothing done, which is really best.
The usury and interest laws of this
state, we think are very good as they
stand with the legal rate fixed at Z
per cent, and the right to charge not
exceeding per cent on contract, and
We say this in the full conviction that
this is matter that can very we'll be
left to the laws Of supply and demand.
AS we view the general situation,
we are inclined to the opinion. that
there are circumstances under which
10 and II per cent are not too much
for the use of money, and there are
other cases where and per cent are
not too little. The higher rate is justi-
fable under circumstances where both
lender and borrower go in with their
eyes open in full appreciation Of ex-
traordinary hazard in the transaction,
and the lower rate is justifiable under

WITHIN THE TOWN.

The test examination Of applicants
for position as census enumerators,
was held in the court house last Sat-
urday as per announcement and was
largely attended. Although the exam
ination was not especially difficult,
several of the applicants changed their
minds about trying to pass 1t and
dropped out.
Prof. D. N. Barrow Of Clemson col
lege, expects to arrive in Yorkville to-
morrow afternoon from Chester, and
will, If he can get an audience, make a
talk on FERTILIZERS and their Appli-
cation" Prof Barrow was at Hickory
Grove this morning. His programme
was to go from there to Chester and
from Chester to Yorkville, arriving here
at about 2 o'clock.
Although the salesday crowd yes
terday was one Of the largest that has
been known for years, 1t was one OF
the best behaved. There was but lit
tie evidence Of liquor. There was some
here, of course. Chief Love said he
saw three or four people who were
feeling their liquor" but there was
no disorder, and not single arrest
was made.

SAlESDAY.

Yesterday being salesday for Feb
ruary, as we'll as the first day Of the
February term Of the court, and the
practical opening of the spring busi-
ness, the attendance of visitors from
all parts of the county was unusually
large.
There was quite a large number OF
mules and horses in town for sale and
exchange, and many Of the people were
interested principally in this business,
There is no way Of getting at a rea-
sonably correct estimate Of the volume
of trade in horsefiesh, but it was con-
siderable. .. ....
There were two land sales by the
clerk, as follows: One hundred acres in
Bullock's Creek township, in the case
of w. T. Moore, VS.. Esther Kerr, YES
tula Maloney and others; bought by
John R. Hart for $3.50. Fifty acres In
the case of L. Belle Allison VS.. r. Byers
Allison, ct al; bought by Thos. F. Nc
Dow, attorney for $50.
Quite a number Of people came to
town, especially to make the round OF
the dry goods stores and trade was
very satisfactory.

1HE cHRIsrlAN MESSENGER.

The February number or the Cnrls-
tian Messenger, the new religious
monthly that made its initial appear
ance in January, under the auspices
of the Presbyterian Ministerial Union
of York county, is now in press, and
will go to the malls within the next
few days, very materially increased In
size, and in a much heavier edition.
The Messenger was launched under
difficulties. Rev. E. E. Gillespie, the
managing editor knew what he wanted
and what he would have to do to get
1T; but even that was not nearly all
the battle, because the doing Of the
many things necessary to be done was
in itself no small task.
For one thing, 1t was absolutely es-
sential that there be a subscription list.
It used to be that this would have
been a comparatively unimportant
matter. In the old days, the postoffice
department made no trouble about
carrying papers at second-class post
age rates to whomsoever they might
be addressed, regardless Of whether the
addresses were subscribers or not; but
Of late there has been a tightening up
along these lines, and now the de-
partment demands that the second
class rates be confined strictly to peo-
pie who are entitled to them. That
means bona fide periodicals and bona
fide subscribers to the same.
It would have been practicable for
Mr.. Gillespie and his colleagues to get
up a subscription list in advance OF
the appearance Of the Messenger;
but they did not see proper to do this.
Instead, they preferred to send out the
first number in order that people could
see 1t, and know what they were buy
ing, and start the venture squarely on
its merits without a reasonable possi-
bility of misunderstanding.
OF the first edition, 500 copies were
printed, and nearly all of these were
sent out under regular third-class
postage-one cent a copy. The paper
seems to have been an immediate sue
cess. Scores and scores Of people
came down with the subscription price
at once, and as the result the Februa-
ry issue is to aggregate not less than
one thousand copies, probably more.
But, as usual, of course, there are
a good many procrastinators. BY pro-
crastinators Is to be understood peo-
pie who received copies of the first
edition, who were pleased with it, and
who intend to send in the subscrip-
tion price; but who put the matter off
until next week or next month without
realizing that the delay compels the
publishers to pay full postage on each
ISSUE. at the rate of IL cents year, or
nearly half the total price of sub
scription These people should send
in their subscriptions to Rev. E. E.
Gillespie at once.
The January number Of the Chris
tian Messenger was made up as
four column folio and was quite small.
The February number will be just half
the size Of this issue Of The Enquirer,
and will carry considerable quantity
of excellent reading matter, making
most creditable showing all round, es-
pecially considering the low price at
which the paper Is sold.

Influence of the Planets on the

Influence of the Planets on the
Weather.-"Jupiter Is the great storm
and tornado producer Of the solar sys-
tenn, and the combined influence of
Jupiter and Saturn are responsible
for great disasters, such as the San
Francisco earthquake, the Mount Felee
eruption and the present great floods
in France, which were predicted some
years ago." Is the stated belief OF Rev.
Irl R. Hicks, the astronomer, In lee
ture on the solar system, and the ef-
feet of the planets on terrestrial
weather conditions before the st. Louis
Society Of Accountants and Book
keepers in the Odeon building, On
Have any of you an idea of the
diameter of the sun, which is the CEN
ter of the solar system?" said Mr..
Hicks 1.-The diameter of the sun is
S66,400 miles. You could place the
earth inside the sun, let the moon cir
Gle around it in its accustomed orbit
and then there would be an outer-rim
Of more than 100000 miles. The next
wheel in the great weather mill Is
Mercury, which circles around the sun
in lightweight days. This cuts peri
odically the suns equator, causing
what is known as mercurial weather.
Next comes Venus, which circles
around the sun in 224 days, and this,
crossing the suns equator, causes the
lightning and thunder storms. The
next wheel of the solar system Is the
earth, which circles around In 365
days, our year. Then comes Mars,
which requires 900 days to go around
the sun; then Jupiter. which requires
twelve of our years. Uranus 1t takes
eighty-four of our years to go around
the sun, and Neptune, the most dis
tant planet, goes around the sun olce
every 164 years All of these have
direct bearing on weather conditions
on the earth"
