THE COW SHOW.

The programme committee OF the
York County Live Stock association
has just gotten out for distribution a
neat sixteen page pamphlet giving the
prospectus programme, list of prizes,
and other information about the cow
show to he held In Yorkville on May 10
and II. This prospectus, which tells
the whole story Of the enterprise as 1t
is intended to be, Is In part, as fol-
lows:
The people of York and surround
ing counties are cordially invited to
join and cooperate with the people Of
YOrkville and community in a Cow
Show and Dairy Products Exhibit to
he held in Yorkville on Wednesday
and Thursday, May 10th and 11th.
1911.
This enterprise had it's origin with
the people of Yorkville who conceived
the idea that a cow show and dairy
products exhibit would be Of some
benefit in encouraging and developing
the intelligent and discriminating in
terest that the farmers of York coun-
ty are showing in the Importance Of
the COW as an adjunct to comfort.
convenience and even as a source of
wealth.
THE main object in view is to de-
velop valuable discriminative knowl-
eQSe Dll lIc part VI TIE O"Heio VI
COWS, as we'll as on the part of the
public. People whose practical ex-
perience and material success give
weight to their opinions, say that the
milk cow standard in this section Is
already high. This high standard has
been attained not by luck or accident
so much as because of the superior in
telligence of a high class agricultural
population. But still there has been
but little systematic effort at develop
ment along the more approved lines
that have been followed in the great
dairy centres, and this Is the ultimate
aim of the present movement. AS a
result o: the proposed show and exhi-
bit, 1t is believed that those of our
people who have made the most prog
ress in the field of dairying can get
better appreciation of what they real
ly have-the lines in which they are
eXcellng and the lines in which they
are not doing so well-and others who
have ambition but who are without
experience, may get the knowledge
and inspiration that will make their
task easier. The most experienced
dairymen in America say that nowhere
Is there a more favored locality for
dairying than this and they are agreed
that the industry can be built up to
the tremendous advantage of every

Although the news of Sunday seems
to indicate that the Mexicans may be
able to patch up their little family
difference without further bloodshed.
that is by no means certain. 1t is cas-
ily possible that disputes will arise
as to what had been promised, and
there will not be a way Of settling
those further MISUNDERSTANDING than
by going back to the field. We hope
the trouble will be settled in short

anything of the kind with great deal
of confidence.

The action of Governor Brown of
Georgia in refusing to pardon Thom-
as Edgar Stripping, the man who after
having been convicted of murder in
1897. escaped rom Jail and began life
anew under another name in Danville,
Va. is coming in for more or less
comment. AS soon as Stripping was
identified and captured in Danville,
where for many years he had been
chief Of police. newspapers began to
speak of him as a Jean Vatican and
clamor for his pardon. We know
very little about this man STRIPPING,
except that so far as the court rec
ords have been made public, there
seems to he no doubt that he was
only an ordinary murderer, who was
justly convicted and justly sentenced.
He was no Jean Vatican by any means.
On the contrary, he continued to be a
wilful. high tempered individual and a
second time took the life of fellow
man. For this he was acquitted in
the courts, and the presumption is
that he was justitiable or at least eX-
cusable. But that, according to our
view. has nothing to do with the mat
ter. If he was properly convicted In
the first instance, as there seems to be
every reason to believe, it was right
that he should take his punishment no
matter how he may have lived i'll the
meantime. That is the only way that
ordinary respect can he maintained
for the law. and as we see it, when
Governor Brown rises above maudlin
thuughtlessness in public sentiment
and insists upon the vindication of the
law, he shows again, as he has shown
several times before, that he is plenty
big enough to he governor even of a
great state like Georgia.

LOOKS LIKE PEACE.
Armistice Agreed Upon and Terms Be
ina Considered.


FL Paso. Texas, April 23-An arm
istice of five days beginning at noon
today and affecting the districts OF
Juarez and Chihuahua and west of
the latter city was made effective to-
day in an exchange of identical letters
signed by Gen. Francisco |. Madero
for the rebels. and Gen. Juan Navarro
for the government.
The truce provides that there shall
be no movement of troops during
the next five days and that provisions
and medicines may be brought to
either camp from the American side
without payment of duty.
1t is noted that Ojinaga, where 9
small federal force is besleged, Is not
covered in the armistice, the insurrec-
to activities in that district being
largely independent. II Is expected
that in the event Of the settlement OF
the rebellion in Chihuahua, the sit
uation at Ojinaga and other scattered
places throughout the republic will
receive attention. The moral effect OF
the cessation of hostiities in Chihua-
hua is regarded as certain to make
settlements In other parts of the cOun-
try simple.
Actual peace negotiations preceded
the armistice. 1t was known that a
truce was agreeable to Madero, and a
telegram from the city Of Mexico In
formed Gen. Madero that Gen. Navar-
70 had been instructed by President
DiaZ to enter into the pact.
The concessions which the govern
ment Is willing to make have been
known for two weeks to Gen. Madero
ever since FREDERICK Moye, business
man Of Chihuahua, visited Gen. Ma
dero at Rancho Bustillos. They were
discussed at the meeting today by the
various leaders and members Of the
peace mission. Those present were:
Francisco Madero, Sr., father Of the
rebel leader; the latter's brothers, AL
fonso, Gustavo and Raoul Madero
Pascual OroZco, the original field
leader of the revolution; Pancho Villa
former bandit and present staunch
supporter Of Madero: Guizeppe Cara
haldi, and General and Sonora Madero
The last named Is accounted warm
supporter Of taking Juarez and then
talking peace.

There has been some cotton planted

The circulation of The Enquirer is
now $3.50 copies per issue. There is
no mystery or secret about 1t. We

vertiser who desires to see 1t and
study 1t, can do so and welcome.
In The Enquirer of last Friday, the
statement was made that the National
Union Bank of Rock Hill had offered
to lend the state 100000 at a little
less than 81 per cent. This statement
was based upon a paragraph In the
daily papers, which had the First
National Bank of Rock Hill. Our at
tention is called to the account that
the statement was erroneous, and 1t
was probably the Peoples National
Bank of Rock Hill that was referred
to. That institution offered to lend the
state 100000 at 81 per cent.
When the schedule was arranged for
the completion Of Mr.. ]. B. O'Neal
Holloway's canvass of York county
for the reorganization Of the Farm
ers' Union, it was thought and ex-
pected that planting would have gen.
orally been finished by the dates de-
cided upon and the farmers would be
free to turn out. Because Of unfavor-
able weather conditions, however,
farm work has been very much re-
tarded, and the farmers are still busy.
Mr.. Holloway, however, finds 1t neces-
sary to go on with his work and 1t Is
hoped that the farmers will do the
hest they can to meet him at his diff
ferent appointments.

Col. Fielder has not taken writer's
cramp. We do not wish the colonel
any harm; but we think we are enti-
tied to remark that he has done about
as we expected. We are now quite
prepared to believe that he originally

sion by the use of material that had
previously been collected, probably
with the purpose of blackmailing the
liquor houses. Oh, as we have said
time and again, how much better it

exert itself in trying to get back
