Look on them today and learn the
spirit of manhood.
The next is the spirit of heroism.
AS a Spartan taught his son what a
hero was by pointing him to the bloody
pass, as an Indian boasted to his son
of how he himself had stood the test
by fire, so you and l this day may
look at those who have stood at many
bloody pass, and who have received
many a baptism Of fire, and having
met all these have stood and feared
not, and learned from them what he
roes are, and acquire some of that
spirit which men do need. Then stand
with barred heads before these men,
and when you go down to the City
where others of their kind sleep, step
softly, bow the head. In reverent ST.
lence bow" for that is holy ground and
those who lie there are the great
among earth's greatest.
At the conclusion of the address
the roll of the Confederate dead buried
in the two Yorkville cemeteries as well
as that Of soldiers of other wars on
back to the Revolution, was read by
the chairman, after which one or more
songs including a solo by Miss Hern-
don, and "Massa's in de Cole, Cole
Groun'." by the choir, and Carolina
by the school children were sung. The
march to Rose Hill cemetery was ther
commenced, the procession being LED
by the Yorkville Cornet band, follow
ed by Co. L. Casper Light Infantry
the school children and the citizens
generally. On reaching the cemetery
a wreath was laid upon the resting
place of each hero, they having beer
previously marked by aluminium
crosses. as described in Tuesdays is
sue, after which taps was sounded by
Prof. r. J. Herndon and the soldiers
under command of Capt. P. N. Moore
fired the usual salute, thus ending the
beautiful and appropriate programme
arranged by the Winnie Davis chapter
U. D. c., and carried out under theil
supervision.

Mr.. cross's Herefords were in a
class by themselves, but they were
none the less interesting.
Mr.. Felix Wiliams's address in the
court house Wednesday afternoon was
something we'll worth hearing and 1t
is worth reading and preserving.
While all the members of the COW
show committees did everything that
fell in their respective lines, willingly,
intelligently and satisfactorily, especial
credit goes to Messrs. I. H. Norris, Bun
Bridges, T. M. Ferguson and j. Q.
Wray, and in the management of the
dairy products exhibit Mrs. D. T.
Wood showed exceptional, taste, judg-
ment and skill.
The Southern Cotton Oil company
of Charlotte has been showing prac-
tical, but a liberal interest in the COW
show. 1t contributed liberal donations
of it's balanced cow-rations for use as
premiums and when the superintend-
ent of the show ordered a thousand
pounds of Boveta feed from Messrs.
Carroll Bros, for the stock on exhibit
ton, the representatives of the COM
pany instructed that the bill be sent
to the home office at Charlotte.
We beq leave to congratulate the
having won the first prize for cream
cry butter, even though 1t took that
prize over Yorkville. The circum-
stance emphasizes two things: The
first Is that the Cherokee Creamery
company makes most excellent butter
and the second is that the judges were
absolutely fair and impartial in their
award. But still we are not willing to
admit that the Gaffney product Is 'su-
perior to that of Yorkville. Unfortu-
nately for the Yorkville Creamery as
sociation, Mr.. Mason, the expert but
ter maker has been sick in the hospi-
tai for more than a week, and his work
Is temporarily in the hands of sub
stitutes with less experience and skill.
But the fact remains that the Chero-
kee Creamery makes most excellent
butter and that the management of
the COW show believes in awarding
premiums strictly on a basis of merit.

S. S. CONVENTION.

The third annual session of the York
County Baptist Sunday school conven-
ton was held with the Baptist church
of Glover on Tuesday and Wednesday,
and was largely attended. One Of the
delegates has kindly furnished The
Enquirer with the following report of
the proceedings:
The convention was called to order
by the former president. A. e. Willis.
at 1890 a. m., Tuesday, May 9. Mr.. A.
F. Willis was elected temporary pres

pOrary secretary.
The roll of churches was called and
messengers enrolled from all the
churches in the bounds of the conven-

The permanent organization was
then effected as follows: A. f. Willis,
president; s. P. Hair and +. NJ. Sat-

1t was not one of the largest crowds
Yorkville has ever seen, but it was
one of the towns large crowds that
was here Wednesday and Thursday
There has been many a gala occasion
when the crowd was accounted large,
though it was considerably smaller
than the crowd of Wednesday. But
regardless of size, everybody is agreed
that the town has never been hOnOred
with the presence of a more intelligent,
prosperous looking or appreciative
crowd. They were generally people
who came from genuine interest in the
unique undertaking. although, OF
course. there were many who came
merely from curiosity. Many were
surprised and all were pleased. 1t was
the common testimony that instead OF
finding less than they were looking for
they found more. They went away
with a much better opinion of the
town and community of YOrkville, and
better pleased with themselves. All
were united i'm the verdict that the
whole occasion was we'll worth while
and it goes without saying that the
people of YOrkville are as delighted as
were the most enthusiastic of her Wis
itOrs.

FINE HEREFORDS.

Mr.. S. D. Cross Of Chester, won the
gratitude Of the cow show committee
and made a ten strike in the interest
Of improved beef cattle by bringing up
from Chester a herd of eight Here
fords.
The herd included a four-year old
bull that weighs 1875, several three
year old cows that weigh from LOO to
1000 and some bull and heifer yearl-
ings.
This exhibit was easily one of the
most striking in the collection, and II
probably attracted more attention than
anything else, except few Of the fin
est cows among the dairy animals.
The Hereford is a strictly beef type
and comparison Of 1t with other kinds
of beef cattle, particularly scrubs and
used up milk cows of the kind that at
length find their way to the butcher
quickly shows up the points Of su-
periority even to the amateur.
Mr.. Cross has been giving attention
during the past five or six years to the
collection of a herd of thoroughbred
Herefords, by drawing on the north
west and breeding and now has about
sixty head of as fine animals as are
to be found anywhere.
He has been a successful exhibitor
DIT different state fairs and although
he says he Is loath to part with his
heifers and bulls until he gets a still
larger herd. has made a number OF
sales of yearlings at 500 each for
bulls and $3.50 each for heifers.
Il am engaged now principally in
doing missionary work." says Mr.
Cross. There is not a blade Of grass
in all this section that is not too val
liable for ordinary scrub stock and the
fnf.f Of nfxy 1A
ginning to find it out. We have sew
eral herds of thoroughbreds Of differ
ent standard dairy and milk breeds
and the farmers generally are begin
ming to take the most intelligent and
enthusiastic interest in the possibil-
tiles of beef production"
You are aware" continued Mr..
Cross, that the best beef we get is
from the west and the price is going up
steadily. The western ranges are be-
ing cut up in small. farms and that
means the end of cheap beef. We
can raise our own beef here Of as good
quality and at as low cost as it can
be produced anywhere, and so long as
we neglect to do 1t, we are standing
in our own light"
Il hope to see the day when every
farmer in the land will be looking up
his cows-good thoroughbred coWs-as
one of his most reliable assets and ]
believe that time will come within the
next few years"
But don't understand me to be talk
ing altogether about raising beef for
market. Although you will admit that
the prices at which I have been SELL
ing sound pretty good, l believe that
l would be better off if I had never
sold a single head. My cows have
been paying for themselve in the en-
richment of my lands to point where
l am able to make two bales Of cotton
on acres that a few years ago would
not produce much over half bale"

Tile COM SHOW JUDGES.

One of the things that gave the
committee in charge of the COW show
and dairy products exhibits the most
concern, was the securing of the as
sistance of thOrough-going experts
whose awards would compel the res
pect of those who knew as well as
those who do not.
The average individual who may
have had much experience with COWS
and who thinks he knows all the fine
points-the merits and dement's of a
good cOw.-really knows very little
This is also true of most of the do
mestic buttermakers, even those who
have been producing extra nice butter
for 50 many years that II seems
second nature. But it is a fact that
intimate knowledge of the COW is ac-
quired only by long years of expert

That is a splendid exhibit, much
better than 1 had any idea Of seeing"
said Mr.. Felix Williams Of Villa Rica,
Ca, after looking among the cows at
the show Wednesday morning, and he
continued, Il predict that if you peo-
pie just keep at it, it will not be a
great while until you are selling thou
sand dollar cows

Now that the ice has been broken
with success that has been made
greater than was hoped for, there is no
reason why the COW show should not
be a permanent institution. The COM
mittee in charge has done splendidly
notwithstanding it had to feel its way
from the beginning, and with the ex-
perience acquired this time, is in a
position to do something still more
worth while next time.

We note with concern that Mr.. A.
NJ. Carpenter will probably sever his
connection with the Anderson Daily
Mail to take a government position
in Washington. The Anderson Intel
ligencer is responsible for the state
ment. If this is correct, it will mean
that the South Carolina press has lost
one of it's best and most attractive
writer's, and there will be general re-
gret.

DlSGRACEFUL SCENE
IN CAM0RRIST TRIAL

VITERBO, Aug. 1s.-Giovanni Berto-
lozl, one of the accused Camorrists who
for weeks while in the cage in the court
room has employed his time in weaving
an elaborate design over the bars near
his seat with strips of cloth, found they
had been taken off yesterday after
noon.
He became furious, charging Cara
bineer with having undone his work.
and finally fell to the floor in fit.
When he recovered he took off his coat
and shirt and tore them to pieces and
remained for the rest of the session
nearly naked. All efforts to calm him
were futile.
