new. There is a general demand
among the Democrats that Underwood,
who Is Leader Clark's first lieutenant
on the floor, should be given a place.
The fourth Democrat has not yet been
even much discussed.
To attempt to predict whom the Re-
publicans will select would be the mer-
est speculation. Besides Speaker Can
non, Dalzell of Pennsylvania, and Smith
Of Iowa, are the present Republican
members of the rules committee. BY
the terms Of the Norris amendment,
Speaker Cannon Is specially eliminated
from the new committee.
The Democratic leaders said today
that they anticipated no difficulty in
having their caucus selection for this
committee ratified by the house, as the
insurgent Republicans had given them
a pledge to support tine Democratic
nominees, partly in consideration Of the
unanimous vote Of the Democrats for
the Norris resolution.
But the highly important matter OF
the selection Of this new rules COM

New York World: The young wild

took helpmates unto themselves after
that date, and for the last twenty years.

The Fight Against Cannon.

The unusually sensational fight that
was in progress in the house of repre-
sentatives when the last issue of The
Enquirer went to press on Friday. came
to a finish on Saturday. with the re-
suit that the nsurgent Republicans
and then as usual. deserted the Demo-
Gratis by whose help they accomplished
the discontinue of the majority Of
their party. As to whether the Demo-
Gratis have done more than help to pull
other peoples chcstnuts out of the fire,
remains to be determined by future de-
velopments.
This fight has been brewing for about
two years. 1t was Republican affair.
1t had its inception IN the larg" and un-
wieldly Republican majority in the
house. Politics is largely a matter of

THE Yorkville Enquirer has the
courage of it's hallucinations and so
SAYS: ANY child should see the i'm
practicability of levying direct taxes in
proportion to population
Any child should be able to answer
that the United States for period of
eight or ten years levied direct taxes

And if the system was not abandon
ed because of its impracticability, 1t
would take a grown man to explain
lust why it was abandoned The con-
stitution of the United States is great
document, one of the greatest ever for
mulated by mortal man, but even the
trainers of the constitution made mis-
takes that had to be corrected by their
successors. However, we are inclined
to hope that the neglect to provide for
an income tax will not be deemed as
one Of these mistakes. We do not
the income tax. on the contrary, we
we are inclined to consider it about
as Just and equitable a means of tax
alton as can be devised; but as we
have already made quite plain, we are
dubious about the prospect of having
both the state and national govern
ments after the incomes of the citizens
of the states at one and the same time.
1t seems to US that it Will be best for
the states to reserve to themselves the
right to tax incomes.

CLOSE OF THE CLUB CONTEST

The annual contest in competition
for the premiums offered by The En-
quircr for the largest clubs in the res
pective townships Of York county
which has been in progress since No
vember Is last. came to close last
Saturday evening at 6 o'clock, with re-
suits highly satisfactory to the pub
fishers, and we hope. to all the partici-
pants.
Mr. A. w. Mcfarland Of Yorkville
is the winner of the first premium, a
handsome rubber tired Rock Hill bug
gy, valued at ninety-five dollars, and
Mr.. Jeff. D. Whitesides of Broad River
township takes the handsome Farrand
parlor organ, valued at SIS, for tine
second premium. The following
get sewing machines for the first
and second largest clubs in their res
pective townships; ]. Albert Riddle and
G. L. Suggs in Bethel; R. w. White
sides in Broad River; Lester Watson
and Mrs. T. C. Mcknight or Mrs. j. N
Russell in Bullocks Creek; Miss Sallie
Mcconnell and Miss Addie Caveny in
Bethesda; W. S. Leslie and ]. A

the number Of names returned by each
are as follows:

turned 46 names each. and under the
rules provided for such a contingency
they will be allowed two weeks from
today, or until Tuesday, April 5. to de-
eide the question as to who gets the
second machine offered for this town
ship.
Last year the second machines in
Fort Mill and Catawba townships.
went very cheap, one for six names and
the other seven. They go quite cheap
enough again this year; but the show
ing is rather better-16 names in Fort
Mill, and 81 in Catawba.
The contests in several Of the town.
ships, particularly in Bethel. Broad
River, Bullocks Creek, Kings Mountain
and York, were unusually spirited. The
Bethesda and EbeneZer canvassers were
also quite lively. but covered only
parts of the townships.
Among the new clubmakers, who are
winners Of sewing machines on their
first attempt at clubmaking are: AL
bert Riddle. r. w. Whitesides, Lester
Watson, Mrs. Russell and Mrs. Nc
Knight, Miss Addie Caveny, Miss Mat
tie Belle Campbell, Miss Clara Smythe
and Mr.. ]. A. Whitesides.
Although some OF the clubmakers
complained that money was hard and
some of their subscribers had to be
dropped on account of inability to pay,
it Is a fact that at this end of the af-
fair, the contest has been one of the
pleasantest and most satisfactory that
has been conducted for years, and there
has been less trouble with collections
than we have ever known. except that
an unusually large proportion Of the
total amount was kept back until the
last few days. which condition neces-
sarily crowded our office facilities al
most to the point of discomfort.
AS already stated, the sewing ma
held pending such disposition as those
entitled to them may instruct Those
entitled to other premiums will advise
us as to their preference at their con-
venience, and we will be pleased to set
tie everything as rapidly as possible
In the meantime, we desire all the
clubmakers and all the subscribers to
be assured Of our appreciation, ample
evidence of which we hope to continue
to be able to give at every onUortunity

About an Incendiary Pamphlet.
Rock Hill Record: In the ordinary
course of business, about two months
ago, the job department Of the Record
undertook to print a job for a negro,
Joseph E. Hayne by name, who said
he was from Brooklyn, y. Y, being
booklet entitled History of the Ham,
itic Race" The original and first
copy of this book was critically re-
viewed by the editor of the Record
and he found nothing Objectionable
in it. The proofs were sent to the GUS
toner, who kept them out a long
time, and when he returned them to
this office, they were interlined, added
to-a word here, a word there, sem
tence changed and added to, a brief
paragraph inserted, the original matter
ltransposed from one portion to anoth-
er. These proofs without being read
were turned over to the printing de-
partment in the usual routine Of this
office, and these additions and alter
ations did not come under the criti-
cal review Of the editor Of this pape-.
But so frequent and voluminous we
these changes that a suspicion was
later raised in our mind as to whether
the book was what this office would
stand for, and we, without disclosing
our suspicious handed a copy to a cit
izen Of Rock Hill for a careful review
of it. He pronounced against it and,
Of course, the delivery Of the pamph-
let was held up for further investi-
CATION. The editor of the Record
wants the people generally to under
stand that the negro read his own
proofs-we merely read the first lot
of manuscript turned in, which was
understandable. And as a matter Of
fact We did not read this book until 1t
was pronounced incendiary by the cit
izen quoted above. Matters thus
stood until Saturday night, when the
Record office was broken into and the
entire lot was removed by parties un-
known to us and we have been unable
to find what disposition was made of
the books We might add that the
Record will not undertake a republi-
cation Of this book. If 1t sees the
light Of day it will have to use some
other medium than the Record press.

VERY good Illustration of the office
of the committee on rules is to be
found in the story of the lulu" hand in
poker. Two men were playing along
nicely, when one called the other over
a big stake and laid down four aces and
a king. The other claimed the pot on
the ground that he held lulu" a hand
that did not contain single point. The
man with the winning hand had never
heard Of such a thing and protested;
but the lulu man pointed to placard
on the wall in front Of him. which read:
"A lulu hand beats everything" After
a while the other fellow got lulu and
bet heavily, and after the show down,
reached to rake in the stakes. The 9TH
er. however, exhibited two pairs and
pointed to a placard on the wall which
read: "A lulu hand can win but once
during the same night" 1t is the bus
mess Of the committee on rules to nang
up placards to fit particular occasions.

TO INCREASE HOG INDUSTRY.

AS a result of agitation originating
within the rank of the farmers organ
izations and as a result, too, of their
own observation, it is more than prob
able that the farmers of this part of
the country will devote more of their
time and attention this year to the hog
industry. One hundred pounds of pig
meat are now marketable for $40.
The hog is worth this unkilled and at
this figure there is a great profit in
the industry. 1t is beginning to be
realized that there is more money i'm
hog raising than in devOting all Of the
time to the cultivation of cotton as
money crop.
And along with this determination
to raise more hogs and cattle the art
of raising better corn and more corn
is fast coming into existence.
Farmers around This section of the
country while making preparations to
plant their crops are giving more at
tention to corn this year than ever be-
fore, and along with this preparations
are being made for the raising of
One hundreds pounds Of hog alive
are worth ten dollars and three hun
dred pounds of hog are worth half
bale of cotton when cotton is worth II
cents the pound. Two 300-pound hogs
are therefore equal to bale of II
cents the pound cotton. The likeli-
hood, meanwhile, is considerably
greater that cotton will drop to 10
cents the pound than that hog will
drop below 10 cents the pound.
The boys corn clubs that are being
organized in this state are bringing
it to pass that two pounds of corn
| may be produced for the same cost
that one pound of corn has heretofore
been produced. Halving the price of
raising corn will halve the price OF
raising hog approximately.
BY the education of the boys in COR
rect methods of farming it will be
easy to raise six hundred pounds Of
hogs, Which is to say bale of cott IN
at the cost CT raising 3OO-pound hog
or half bale of cotton now.
The boys Of today will be men TO-
morrow The education of farmers
land farmers boys will make this the
richest AMI happieSt land in all the
world. Any country with plenty OF
rich and happy farmers is sure TO be-
| a wholesome and happy country -
one that is a blessing to al other
countries besides.
