CENSUS PROCLAMATION.

The Enquirer has received from
the department Of Commerce and
Labor the following census procla-
nation, released for publication
March Is, 1910:
BY the President Of the United States
Of America.
Whereas by the Act of Congress
approved July 2, 1909, the Thirteenth
Decennial Census of the United
States is to be taken, beginning on the
fifteenth day Of April, nineteen hun
dred and ten: and
Whereas a correct enumeration Of
the population every ten years is re-
quired by the Constitution of the
United States for the purpose Of de-
termiring the representation of the
several States in the House Of Rep
reSentativeS; and
Whereas 1t Is of the utmost impor-
tance to the interests of all the peo-
pie Of the United States that this
census should be a complete and ac-
curate report of the population and
resources of the country:
Now. therefore. |, William Howard
Taft. President of the United States
of America, do hereby declare and
make known, that, under the act
aforesaid. 1t is the duty of every per-
son to answer all questions on the
census schedules applying to him and
the family to which he belongs, and
to the farm occupied by him or his
family, and that any adult refusing
to do so is subject to penalty.
The sole purpose of the census is
to secure general statistical informa-
ton regarding the population and re-
sources of the country, and replies
are required from individuals only in
order to permit the compilation of
such general statistics. The census
has nothing to do with taxation, with
army or jury service, with the COM
pulsion of school attendance, with
the regulation of immigration. or
with the enforcement Of any national
state. or local law or ordinance. nor
can any person be harmed in any
way by furnishing the information
REQUIRED. There need be no fear that
any disclosure will be made regard
ing any individual person or his af-
fairs. For the due protection of the
rights and interests Of the persons
furnishing information every en-
ployee Of the Census Bureau is pro-
hibited. under heavy penalty, from
disclosing any information which
may thus come to his knowledge.
I therefore earnestly urge upon all
persons to answer promptly. COM
pletely, and accurately all inquiries
addressed to them by the enumera-
tors or other employees Of the Census
Bureau, and thereby to contribute
their share toward making this great
and necessary public undertaking a
success.
In Witness Whereof. I have here
unto set nv hand and caused the seal
of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington,
this fifteenth day of March, A. D. one
thousand nine hundred and ten, and
of the Independence Of the United
States Of America the one hundred
and thirty-fourth.

WITHIN THE TOWN.

The painters are working on the
]. NJ. Stroup block, including the Loan
and Savings bank, the York Supply
Co.. and ]. Q. Wray's. The appearance
of this property is being very much
improved.
The millinery openings are being
announced for March 90. % and "a.
The Kirkpatrick Belk company are to
take three days and the Thomson COM
pany two days Both of these COM
panies are making unusual efforts to
make record breaking displays and the
showings will be something worth
while. There has been an increasing
number of ladies from the country at
the millinery openings during the past
few seasons, and there will be rather
more attractions this year than usual.
The ladies of the First Presbyterian
church are promising quite an extern
sive stock of attractive offerings at
their proposed Spring Market in the
court house tomorrow. Two Of them
see about having an advertisement in
serted, told about number Of nice
things that they would have on sale,
and did not even hesitate to declare
that they would offer among other
things, a quantity of butter, an article
that has been so scarce on the local
market for some time past, that some
people have almost forgotten what it
looks like. But of course, butter will
be only an insignificant incident to the
many attractive commodities that are
to be offered, and equally Of course, the
town and community will do well to be
out bright and early to take advantage
of all the nice opportunities of the oc-
casion.

living at all, it is more a question of
how much profit you can make over a
living. Young men see this the first
thing after they leave the farm and go
to town. Immediately it becomes n
question of living, something that mad
not troubled them previously. and be-
fore long, they are not so much con-
cerned as to how much profit they may
be able to make over a living, as to
how much debt they will have at the
their wages go as far as they could.
independence. Why can't the farmer
get up on his own dung hill and crow
as long as he wants to, with nobody to
make him get down, and who else can
do it, won't you tell me? A man needs
pure air and physical exercise to keep
him healthy. The farmer has plenty
of it. He also needs good, pure food.
The farmer can have anything ne
wants. He must have intellectual
employment. if he would be happy.
Where is there a better field for intel
lectual employment than in the con-
slant study of nature, especially in its
relation to the growth and development
of plants? OF course everybody can't
see this. Everybody is not fit to be
farmer, and it would not do for all to
be farmers: but as for me, give me the
farm every time"
And is there not lot of wisdom in
all this, and is it not a pity that more
people cannot see it the same way?
But sometime the thing will change.
The doctrine of this farmer will finally
win, and the men Of the best brain and
intellect will devote themselves to the
restoration of that higher agricultural
civilization that used to be character
istic of the south. We mean the old
days when the wealth, culture, luxury,
comfort. refinement and hospitality Of
America were to be found on the south
ern farms. There Is a good deal Of this
here yet: but it is going 70 grow. and
the time is coming, when the industri
Gus, broad minded, energetic farmer
will be the man who will be generally
envied by all his fellows

on account of the treatment he has
received at the hands of the governor
of Georgia and the mayor of Atlanta,
Commander Peary has abandoned his
southern lecturing tour. That is the
way the thing goes out to the world.
1t is not improbable, however, that just
as truthful a way to state it, would be
that the abandonment of the tour is on
account of the frost these Georgia Off
cials have put on the door receipts.

JUDGE ]. w. Devore is eminently
correct in his statement that the laws
of South Carolina are as good as those
of any state in the Union. And if the
sentiment in favor of enforcing those
laws continues to grow for few years
more as rapidly as it has been growing
during the few years past it will not
be a great while before South Carolina
has become the most law abiding state.

Bank Aduertisinn.

One of the most interesting features
of the advertising columns of The En-
quirer these days, is the contribution
from the leading banks of the county,
and there is no Question of the fact that
this feature is highly instructive as
we'll as interesting.
The careful reader of these adver-
tisements cannot fail to be impressed
with the fact that their composition is
the product of some of the best minds
in this part of the country, and it is
safe to say that no one can keep up
with them from week to week, STU
diously and thoughtfully, without get
ting ideas of business and finance that
are well worth while.
And another thing that may be said
about these bank advertisements. with
out any danger of successful contradic-
tion, is that they have had a very
marked influence for good in the pro-
motion of the general business and ma
terial welfare of the entire county.
Many a man who might not have 9TH
erwise put himself in a position to be
impressed by the advantages that are
offered by the bankers. has been
brought to a more or less careful con-
Sideration of the whole matter, and
been put in the way of business prog
ress and development to which he
might not have otherwise attained.
OF course there are still people who
on account of ignorance have more or
less prejudice against the banks, and
who are unwilling to take advantage
Of the benefits offered by them; but
these are becoming fewer and fewer
every day, and this is one of the sew
eral important reasons why York cOun-
ty is forging so rapidly ahead in all
that makes for the best in wholesome
development and prosperity.

Atlanta Is to Be Converted i'm

Dear Sir:-You have another wit
ness in the person of Dr. Broughton
himself that all you have said about
the need of home missions is true.
So you have made another convert.
Certainly the Doctor won't go back
on what he has said in the enclosed

one of your inimitable comments.
Yours first, last and all the time,
V. M. TUMLIN
That the Baptists of Atlanta feel
the need of some heavy mission work
is shown by the plans made for a
series of meetings to cover two
weeks. A general plan has been ar
ranged for a Baptist census" to
be followed by cooperative meetings
of all Baptist congregations. Two
solid weeks of prayer is considered
necessary for Atlanta's salvation. In
the Atlanta Journal was this, relative
to the movement:
CDR. Len G.. Broughton told the
Baptist ministers Monday morning
that something must be done.
we are in a hopeless situation
he said. Unless a church is in a
hopeful situation, it is about down
and out. I emphasize this condition
in our Southern cities because North
ern cities have long ago got to the
bottom in religion. and when you get
that far you can't get any further.
Since the financial revival fol-
lowing the panic, religion has lost
everywhere.
Prayers Soon q Farce?
"Our prayer services are a good
instance. If things keep on as they
are prayer service will soon get to
be a farce. Any midweek meeting
now labeled prayer meeting has so
few people the pastor gets lonely.
There are not enough to wake up the
bats and owls if the bats and owls
chose to roost in our churches. But
the theaters are always full.
'YOu can't walk along the streets
any afternoon in. the week without
getting into a crowd of matineeites.
And, I tell you, they are a lot worse
than some of the ties the children
of Israel had to contend with.
"Conditions are as bad anywhere
else in the South as they are here.
In Memphis, DR.. A. G. Dixon preach
ed for two weeks and nobody joined

Board joined, and they got only

An Inside View of Socialism
Concluded from Page Fourteen)

Concluded from Page Fourteen)
These poor drifters who because of
their inadaptability find no place
where they can fit into the scheme of
things so as to take root and grow
into vital factors in society, are an
easy prey to the designing agitator,
who with his ready flow of words,
his ready sympathy (assumed for the
occasion) and his bitter denuncia-
ton of '"The capitalist class" stirs
their hatred and jealous envy into
flame which renders them ripe for
revolution and riot
This class follows any one who
will lead them, with little regard as
to where they are being led Left to
themselves, there is as little of harm
as Of good in them. They are not
positive but wholly negative. Alone,
they are merely ciphers, which ex-
press nothing except when hitched
on after a figure which stands for
something. Under the skillful ma
nipulation of the paid agitator how
ever, they are transformed into a
formidable army ready to follow
wherever their leaders choose to lead,
and ready to translate into fearful
action, whatever orders are issued to
them.
AS a political factor. the Socialist
movement is by no means insignif-
cant. The official count of the vote
for President last fall showed nearly
half million Socialist votes. TAX
ing the past growth of the party as a
barometer by which to Judge it's fu-
ture, it is not at all improbable that
the Socialists may cast as many as
100000 votes in 1912, probably
electing several Congressman, and
making it practically certain that the
Socialist party will hold the balance
of power between the two old parties
by the time another Presidential
election is due to be held.
The situation which confronts us
then is simply this: that Socialism,
whether good or bad; whether right
or wrong; is already very potential
factor in the political world. The
question which we must now answer
is, "Shall we have Socialism, or
nOt?' If it can be shown that So
cialism is even half what it is cracked
up to be, the writer will cheerfully
move that it be adopted, but in or
to show that the natural way for
water to behave, is to run up hill
whenever it is told to do so. In 9TH
er words, it will have to be shown
that the principles of Socialism are
better than the principles of those
who control and direct the move
ment, dictate it's policies and formu-
late it's official utterances. The man
who attempts this will have a diff
cult task to perform, for he will have
to controvert that age-old wisdom
which declares that "Men do not
gather grapes of thorns. nor figs of
thistles,' but that every tree bring
eth forth fruit after it's own kind"
If that is sound wisdom (and it's
source certainly entities it to
thoughtful consid eration), then the
fruit of Wayland's tree will be the
bitter and poisonous fruit of supreme
selishness.
(The next article of this series
will deal with Eugene V. Debs, the
patron Saint of the Socialists" The
third article of the series will deal
with the principles of the Socialist
philosophy and will be entitled, "The
Core of the Socialist Apple.')
