WITHIN THE TOWN.

- Baseball between the Yorkville
Graded school nine and the Rock Hill
baseball nine in Yorkville this after
noon. The Yorkville boys defeated
the Rock Hill boys last Friday, and
there is much interest in the outcome
of the game this afternoon. It Is
hoped that the boys will be encour-
aged by large attendance.
The subscriptions to the proposed
new Associate Reformed church of
Yorkville, now aggregate within a few
dollars of $1,000. There will be re-
quired at least $1,000 more before the
congregation will feel that the whole
undertaking has been satisfactorily
financed. However, all concerned,
think that the showing up to the pres
ent time is little short of remarkable.
THE fire department was called out
at about II o'clock this morning by an
alarm from a house occupied by Mr..
William Neal on South Congress
street The house is about 300 yards
from the fire house, and the depart
ment was there with a stream of wa
ter within less than two minutes af-
ter the sounding of the alarm. The
fire which was in the roof Of kitch-
en-, was extingushed before any con-
siderable damage was done. The loss
does not exceed SIS or $40.

MAIL ORDER BUSINESS.

There Is a generally accepted theory
that when a man or woman honestly
earns a dollar, he or she has right
to do with 1t as he or she pleases, and
this theory Is correct.
But while there Is no question of the
right of an individual to spend his
money as he pleases, there Is very
considerable question involved in the
wisdom of such expenditure.
While we have no reason to believe
that Yorkville or York county people
are more prone to patronize mail or
der houses than are the people OF oth-
er towns or counties in the state, we
believe that there are more people IN
the town and county patroniZing sucn
houses than there ought to be.
1t Is well enough for people to nave
what they want If they are able to
get it, it is also just as well to con-
slider the cost-to remember that the
dollar kept at home Is OF far more
value to the individual and to the
community than the dollar that goes
abroad. Although it is an unfortunate
fact that it is only people OF above
average intelligence and wealth VINO
are able to appreciate the full slgnih,
canoe of this principle of political
economy, there is no question OF Its
correctness.
There are among us many VINO re-
member the long, trying period OF de-
preston that followed the civil war,
when there was practically no money
in the country except during a ie"
weeks of the fall and spring, when
the spring money was borrowed from
the north and in the fall money had
to go to pay back the money borrowed
In the spring. There was very little
appreciable change in this condltlon
of affairs until finally by means oil
borrowed money and otherwise our
people began to establish cotton ana
other factories, and were thus able 10
keep at home a larger portion OF the
money that had been going abroad
This same general principle apples
to every avenue of trade and INDUSTRY;
Money Is many times more plentiful
now than it was a few years ago. ana
the people generally are more pros.
porous than they have ever been' out
the old economic error has not been
fully appreciated. 1t is growing more
common, rather than otherwise, ana
the county Is feeling the i'll effects
of il more and more.
II would hardly be reasonable to tell
our people to buy nothing abroad, De
cause there are many things tnat are
absolutely necessary to convenience,
comfort and happiness that are not
to he had elsewhere; but we DO ad-
wise that the home vended artlcie
should always have the preference II
il can he made To do at all, ana that

Bryan and Harmon Meet in Political
Iy Dramatic Fashion.

Gov. Judson Harmon Of Ohio, and
william Jennings Bryan, formerly OF
Nebraska, but now a Texas farmer,
died at the Willard hotel recently.
The backs of the chairs Of the two
would have touched had not the walt
ers insisted upon the aisle.
Governor Harmon was at the table
with Senator Hitchcock OF Nebraska.
who defeated Mr.. Bryan's candidate;
CONGRESSMAN Cox Of Ohio, and Rep
resentative Fitzgerald Of New York.
Mr.. Bryan was the guest OF the new
senator from Indiana, John w. Kearn,
Ollie James of Kentucky, and e. o.

teeman from Michigan.
'"Will you talk with Governor Har-
mon while here?" Mr.. Bryan was

Cotton Futures.

There is a widespread feeling that
the present congress is going to do
something to put stop to the trad
ing in the cotton futures as practiced
on the big exchanges Of the country;
but somehow we do not feel that any
thing of Importance will develop just
yet.
There are many plausible arguments
to be advanced in favor of the social
ed exchange system; but so far as our
experience and observation go, they
are all more or less specious. The
business" as we see it does not even
rise to the dignity of a fair gamble,
by which we mean a game Of hazard
in which the chances are as fair for
one side as the other.
The cotton Exchanges" of the coun-
try, and for that matter the other
Exchanges" that practice the system
of speculating in the future values of
commodities, do about as much to cul-
tivate reckless dishonesty and rascal
ity as any other institution that has
ever been allowed to feed on the mis-
guided toleration of the present day
civilization. If it were possible to con-
duct these exchanges so that they
could be supported entirely by and at
the expense of the gamblers through
whom their operations are conducted,
we do not know that any serious OBJ
lection could be urged to their con-
tinued existence; but the great trouble
is that the support of tue exchanges
of the gamblers who manipulate
them-comes at last from the sweat
and blood of the honest toilers, who
produce the legitimate substance that
these parasites convert into pillage.
AS to what is going to take the place
of the exchange system in case of its
abolition, we do not know. Somehow,
we are willing to concede that it may
result in more or less confusion for a
time. during which producers may
suffer; but even if this should happen,
it cannot last for long. The stuff, the
real stuff, will soon find the values
that belong to it, and it will not be
great while before all this is ad-
justed.

Charlotte Observer, Friday: Mr.. w.
S. Lee, vice president and chief engi-
neer of the Southern Power company
and one Of the leading promoters of
the interurban development, Is making
such rapid recovery from a late
operation for appendicitis in New York
that he Is expected to be able to re-
turn home at an early date. The oper-
alton was entirely successful nd Mr..
Lee rallied so rapidly and so ncour-
agingly from the ordeal that his ply
sician advised that he would not be
detained from his duties here any
longer than was absolutely necessary
to regain his strength. The operation
was performed at DR.. Gill Wylie's hos
pital in New York city. Mr.. Lees re-
turn to the city and to his office will
mean the continuation Of active prep
arations for equipping the interurban.

TIME OF TRIAL.
April 1, a Pivot In Political History
Making.

Today is a turning point In the
course Of political history. In the
perspective which a longer view will
give the analyst Of the future, 1t will
be recognized as an occasion OF great
er moment than we can quite appre-
ciate.
For fourteen years the Democratic
party has controlled, till today, no
branch of the national government.
President, senate, house, and even
supreme court have at all times been
Republican. 1t is the longest period
of similarly unqualified control by one
party in the whole course of constitu-
| tional government.
| That the events turning on the pivot
Of this April days ceremony at the
Capitol are fraught with portent for
long future seems certain when
| thought Is given to the character and
sweeping extent OF the change in a
| twelve month.
One year ago today, the Republicans
had forty-seven majority In the
house. Today they have lost that, and
the Democrats have sixty-three ma
jority.
one year ago today the Republican
majority in the senate was twenty
six: today II Is reduced to nine.
| Two years ago a newly elected Re-
publican president was just entering
on his term under most favorable aus
pices. Today 1t Is the commonly ex-
pressed opinion of observers In all
parties that a near-miracle will be re-
quired to prevent his denomination and
another to secure his election.
Thus the outlook Is bright for
Democracy. The swing Of things Is
toward the party so long excluded from
the seats of power.
| pnf no napnnnrafQ have need IN
realize that with this day they lose the
greatest advantage they have for two
years enjoyed. They can no longer
thrive merely by the mistakes Of their
enemies. They have lost their great
est advantage. They were swept into
a share in national power, not because
they had earned the right to power,
but because the country believed the
Republicans had forfeited the right to
control the house.
AS the Democrats today lose their
greatest advantage so the Republicans
are stripped of the burdens that In re-
cent years have handicapped them
most seriously in the race for public
favor. Last nights Republican eau
Gus was the final curtain on the career
Of Joseph G. Cannon. De mortuis, nil.
He will remain yet a little time,
figure, but not colossus bestrfding
and overshadowing the popular
branch. With him go Aldrich and
Hale; and as these three old men of
the sea relax their grip the party they
have shackled will rise in new
strength which may yet enable 1t to
cope on winning terms in another bat
| tie.
| The Democracy will win no more
battles merely because the people have
| lost confidence in the Republican con-
gress They must hold what they
have gained by proving that they de-.
serve to hold 1t. They must gain
more, by demonstrating their COM
potency to administer more. To their
prayerful consideration Is commend
| ed the parable of the talents.-Wash-
ington Times.

the name of Mr.. Funk and was given
one weeks time to divulge this name,

he voluntarily released Mr.. Kohlsaat

felt that the publisher would be sent

1t looks very much as If the truth
with regard to the Lormer matter is
coming out before the thing can be
finally settled If they had not been
criminals themselves, Bailey and those
other fellows who tried to smother the
thing up during the last session of the
senate, would have had sense enough
to foresee this very thing.

home people should be patronized to
the preference Of foreigners In any
and all cases.
| People who listen to this theory and
who adopt it as a principle, are re-
minded that it operates not only to
the advantage of the other fellow;
preponderance of advantage 1t Is
themselves who get that preponder-
| ance.

Why, certainly Lorimer and his
crowd laughed when the senate ad-
journed it's recent session. Criminals
are always wont to laugh when they
think they have won a victory, and
they generally misconstrue as victo-
ries what are in reality only misera-
BILE temporary advantages.

In preparation for the annual meet
