COTTON WEIGHER MATTER.

The question as to whether the
county commissioners complied with
the letter and spirit of the cotton
weigher statute, when they appointed
the employees Of three local cotton
buyers as public cotton weighers, after
having already appointed and commits
stoned an unattached, Independent
weigher, is to be heard and decided upon
it's merits by Associate Justice Gary at
Abbeville next Saturday. This Is In
accordance with a rule signed by the
associate justice, on motion of John R.
Hart, Esq, last Saturday. The pro-
ceedings have been instituted in be-
half of James E. Burns, plaintiff,
against Thomas Boyd, w. A. Aycock
and l.. j. Lumpkin, as supervisor and
county commissioners of York county,
respectively, and Paul n. Moore and
w. T. Moore, John A. Latta, B. N.
Moore and w. r. Carroll. Following
is the text of the complaint In the
case:
l. That both plaintiff and defend
ants are now, and were at the times
hereinafter stated, residents of the said
county and state; and that Thomas w.
Boyd and w. A. Aycock and l.. j.
Lumpkin are now, and were at the
times hereinafter stated the duly elect
ed and regularly qualified supervisor
and commissioners of the county Of
York, respectively, and are, and were
at the times hereinafter stated, in the
active discharge of the duties as such
supervisor and commissioners.
9. That on or about the 5th day or
July, 1911, the plaintiff was regularly
and legally elected public cotton
weigher for the cotton market OF york.

Give Senator E. D. Smith the credit
that is due him for his efforts to put
stop to the fell influence the agri-
cultural department has been using to
depress the price of cotton. Farmers
everywhere have been suspecting for a
long time that the agricultural depart
ment's estimates were only worked up
for market purposes, and that their in
tent and effect was always bearish, but
as suspicion is of very little con-
sequence unless backed up by club,
nothing has resulted. But the efforts
of Senator Smith on the floor of the
senate is causing the farmers of the
south to open their eyes and encour-
aging the farmers to look for a fair
deal.

Referring again to the article of Col.
U. R. Brooks, reproduced in another
column, the following telegram, dated
Columbia, 10 a. m, August 16, 1875, is
of some interest:
1.-The State Democratic convention
met last night with ]. A. Hoyt Of An
derson, as temporary chairman. Col.
w. w. Harllee Of Marion, was elected
permanent chairman.
mo action was taken indicating the
policy of the convention as to postpon-
ing nominations. It is believed that a
majority favor immediate nominations,
and that a state ticket will be nomi-
mated today.
Gen. Wade Hampton seems to be
the only candidate spoken Of for gov
ernor. II"
The foregoing dispatch vas sent by
the late Major James F. Hart, gen.
tleman unusually we'll up on the doings
of the day, and if Butler was being so
seriously considered as the guberna-
torial candidate, 1t seems strange that
the major did not know of the fact. 1t
will be noted that Col. Brooks states
that Gen. Butler nominated Hampton
on August IA. AS a matter Of fact,
however, the convention did not meet
until the night of the 18th and accord
ing to Major Hart no nomination had
been made up to 10 o'clock on the
morning of the 10th. AS to when the
nomination was actually made our files
do not show. The succeeding issue Of
The Enquirer merely gives the results
of the convention without giving any
more dates.

AUTOMOBILE COLLISION.

An automobile collision that proved
pretty rough on one Of the cars and
came near resulting disastrously to the
occupants of both, occurred on the
Kings Mountain road just without the
corporate limits Of town last Tuesday
night.
The drivers Of the cars were Messrs
w. R. Carroll of Yorkville, and j. E
johnson, superintendent Of the Nicely
cotton mill. Both cars were full OF
passengers, and all Of the passengers
were more or less shaken up, but none
of them were seriously hurt. Mr.. Car
roll had his lip cut somewhat and Mr.
Johnson was painfully bruised In the
breast by being thrown against his
steering wheel.
Mr.. Johnson's car was pretty badly
wrecked. and although Mr.. Carrolps
car was injured also, 1t was able to
get away from the scene Of the trouble
without assistance. Mr.. Johnson's car
had to be towed away.
Unless the matter shall be amicably
arranged otherwise, the understanding
is that the affair will go to the courts
for q settlement

NORTH AND SOUTH ROAD.

1t will be like salesday in Yorkville
next Thursday, if anticipations with
regard to the meeting that Supervisor
Boyd has called for the hearing on the
proposed North and South road prove
correct
Since the call of the previous pro-
posed meeting, both roads have been
profiled, one from Yorkville up the
Kings Mountain road three and one
half miles to the Quinn place, and
thence to Glover by way of Filbert, and
the other up the Lincoln road about
four miles, and then to Glover by
way Of r. n. Thomassons, ]. B.
WOods's and Allison Creek trestle.
The Enquirer has not seen the two
profiles; but understands that there Is
a very considerable difference in esti-
mated cost, amounting to seven or eight
thousand dollars. the Filbert route be-
ing that much the cheaper.
The advocates of the Filbert route
among other things will argue less cost
of original construction, less cost Of
subsequent maintenance and will claim
that it is as nearly direct as the other.
They will also lay stress on the prac-
tical benefits of the country. The

We do not think there is the slight
est doubt of the fact that what the
public weigher people asked the York
delegation for was a bill that would
provide for the weighing Of all cotton
by one disinterested official weigher.
If the York delegation tried to pass
such an act and passed something else
instead, it is up to this delegation to
try again, because otherwise it will
look like the delegation either does not
know what 1t is about, or it Is playing
double with it's constituents. We do
not believe either one Of these last two
propositions is correct.

SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS.

= Columbia, August Is: The South
Carolina State Farmers Union will
erect cotton warehouse in Columbia
to cost from 100000 to 100000.
The following announcement was
made today by ]. Whitner Reid, the
state secretary and treasurer, In ac-
cordance with resolution adopted by
the South Carolina State Farmers
Union at the annual meeting. held In
Columbia, July 1927, 1911: Steps
have been taken to organize the
Farmers Union Warehouse company,
of South Carolina; H. T. Morrison,
McClellanville, s. c.; B. F. Keller,
Cameron, 8. c., B. Harris, Pendleton.
s. c.; Alfred Aldrich, Barnwell, 8. c.,
members of the organization commit
tee appointed at the state union meet
ing, met in the Office Of the secretary
of the State Farmers Union and made
formal application to the secretary OF
state for commission to act as G board
Of corporators. The capital stock of
the corporation will be 100000, with
the privilege Of increasing to $780,
900, with shares at the par value OF
$40 each. The purpose Of the cor
poration is to do general warehouse
business, including the storing and
dealing in cotton and other farm pro-

Many merchants throughout South
Carolina are Withholding from sale
corn meal, grits, and other corn pro-
ducts, until samples Of their stocks
can be examined at the departmental
laboratories and pronounced safe for
food, according to communications
received by Col. e. j. Watson, COM
missioner of agriculture, commerce
and Industries. At Glendale, in Spar
tanburg county, where number OF
cases of pellagra have developed, and
corn meal has been found to be dan
gerously spoiled, 1t is stated that not
a particle Of corn products Is now be-
ing sold. Since the issuance Of the
report, the people have been unwilling
to buy until the goods In the stores
have been pronounced safe by the
state chemists, and the merchants,
aware of the heavy penalty for dis
posing Of spoiled stuff, have discour-
aged buying until the chemists have
examined their goods. No report has
yet been received from the labora-
tories as to the samples which have
been taken in all the grocery stores
in Columbia, and up to noon Satur-
day the special inspector sent to In
vestigate the manufacturing estab-
lishments in other states, from which
the spoiled corn has been sent out,
had not sent in his report. 1t Is prob
able that by Monday some further
light will be thrown on the matter.

Several of the papers are strongl

Several of the papers are strongly
considering the idea of putting Mr..
Lyon in the field against Mr.. Blease
next summer as a candidate for the
governorship. We find 1t difficult to
imagine a more interesting situation
or one that would make livelier cam
paign. Both Blease and Lyon claim
to know things against each other, and
if they should go into a campaign they
would have to tell some things that the
people want to know. If it should turn
out that each has correct estimate OF
the other, then what beautiful chance
it would be for the News and Courers s
leader" to win, especially if that lead
er be a man like Mr.. Featherstone or
Mr.. Chas. A. Smith. So pleasing is the
prospect that one finds it tedious to
have to wait until next summer.

A REVIEW OF CONGRESS.
Some Notable Legislation Was Achiev.
ed at This Session.

Washington, August 20.-Congress
will adjourn before Tuesday night
possibly tomorrow-and the most
strenuous session of recent years will
pass into political history. The net
results of the session, in comparison
with the ambitious programme adopt
ed at the outset, were not large.
Canadian reciprocity was brought as
near reality as the executive and leg
islative departments could advance it.;
statehood was assured for New Mexi-
co and Arizona; campaign publicity
legislation was enacted in a form sat
isfactory to its most earnest advocates:
provision was made for an enlarged
house of representatives based upon
the last census, and a few other meas
ures Of minor importance were passed.
A Democratic house, the first since
1895, seized upon this session as a We
hicle to convey to the country the
views of the Democracy on the sub
ject Of tariff revision, but executive
disapproval rendered futile all efforts
to impress those views upon the stat
ute books.
Two tariff bills, one materially re-
ducing the existing duties on wool and
wooden goods Of all classes, and the
other placing on the free list articles
of machinery and tools used by far
mers, and amended to include many
other items, were vetoed by President
Taft. He based his disapproval upon
the grounds that the bills had not been
scientifically prepared and that tariff
revision should wait until reports on
the different schedules had been made
by the tariff board" A cotton revision
bill awaits a similar fate.
The house, under the leadership Of
Representative Underwood of Ala
bama, chairman of the ways and means
committee, and Speaker Clark, endeav-
ored to pass the bills over the veto but
the necessary o-thirds-vote could
not be mustered. These failures to
overthrow President Tafts veto mes
sages were a strong factor In deter
mining leaders to bring the session to
close and 1t Is not likely that the
congress will be in session to receive
like message relating to the cotton re-
vision measure.
Trust Investigations, almost without
number, were instituted during the
session and some of them-notably
those bearing upon monopolies in the
steel and sugar industries-were pros
ecuted with vigor, and they still are in
progress, constructive legislation to
bear on Federal regulation Of corpor-
ations, Is regarded as certain to come
as a result of these inquiries, and plans
already have been instituted to revise
the antitrust laws.
Charges were revived that Senator
Lorimer was elected by the Illinois
legislature through the medium or
bribery and a second investigation by
the senate was gotten we'll under way.
A senate inquiry into the election of
Senator Stephenson Of Wisconsin, was
ordered.
General arbitration treaties with
Great Britain and France were sent 10
the senate by President Taft, but they
received a frigid welcome because the
upper house contended that one pro-
vision Of the treaties usurped It's con-
stitutional prerogatives. Presentation
of the treaties strained hitherto cordial

17-year-old girl in the case" did
not appear at the court room. She is
held in Jail in Richmond as mate
rial witness, but it was not deemed
necessary to bring her here today.
Paul Beattie, the prisoners cousin,
one of the prosecutions principal
witnesses, was also left behind. Mrs.
Claudio Powell, a married sister OF
Beulah Binford, was on the grounds
and attracted much attention. She
said she came because she was inter-
ested. The prisoner showed little or
no nervousness when the indictment
was read. At times young Beattie
whispered suggestions to his lawyers,
H. M. Smith, Jr., and Hill Carter, and
frequently he scanned with interest
the newspaper extras" giving the de-
tails of the proceedings. Sheriff Gill
took Beattie back to the jail at Rich
mond tonight.
