HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.
WeIIington's Plea In Favor Of the

WsIinston's Plea In Favor of the
Thames Emban<ment Site.
Wellington once declared that the
most exciting moment of his life was
not in any of his great battles, but
that In which he had to forbid William
Nv. to attend a public banquet in the
city during time of great national
excitement OF the millions of people
who every year see the English houses
of parliament how many imagine that
their position was determined by stra-
tegic considerations? No one nowadays
can think of the palace of Westmin-
ster In any other position than that
which it occupies. But when the old
houses were burned down and the task
of rebuilding faced there was a propo-
sition to establish them on or near the
site of st. James palace. Wellington
resolutely put down his foot ON the
proposal
The site suggested, its advocates
pointed out, would be better as regards
centrality and convenience than any
other But to the argument of the
duke there could then be no answer.

MUzzLlNG THE PRESS.
A Much Favored Official Duty at One
Tirne In England.


Tir1e In England.
There was time i'll England when
government officially viewed the press
as a hostile power, to be destroyed il
possible-to be curbed at any cost In
1888 Roger L'Estrange, ''overseer of
the press" brought out his Consider
atoms and Proposals In Order to the
Regulation of the Press He adyo-
Gated the severest restrictions for au-
thors and printers, as well as for "the
letter founders and the smiths and
joiners that work upon the premises"
and ''the stitchers. binders, stationers,
hawkers, mercury women. peddlers,
ballad singers, posts, carriers, hackney
coachmen, boatmen and mariners"
A proposal of L'Estrange was that
culprits convicted of having broken
the law should be condemned Ito wear
some visible badge or mark of igno
miny, as a halter instead of hat
band, one stocking blue and another
red, a blue bonnet with a red letter I
OF s upon it," A few years later LES
TRANCE went one better by declaring
that newspapers ought not be allowed
at ALL
He said that the reading of them
makes the multitude too familiar
with the actions and councils of their
superiors, too pragmatical and censo-
rious, and gives them not only an itch
but kind of colorado right and license
to be meddling with the government =
In 1856 L'Estrange was knighted.-

VICE PRESIDENT KING.

Took the Oath of Office Abroad, but
Did Not Live to Serve.
William Rufus King, born April g.
1876, died April 10, 1853, was vice
president of the United States who
never served in that capacity and one
who took the oath of Office on foreign
soil. something which can be said Of
no other executive officer who has ever
been elected by the people of this coun-
Try. King was an invalid, but his
friends urged him to take second place
on the ticket with Pierce in 1852.
Both were elected. but Mr. Kings
health failed so rapidly that he was
forced to go to Cuba some two months
before Inauguration day. Not having
returned to the United States by
March 4, congress passed special act
authorizing the United States consul
at Matanzas. Cuba, to swear him In
as vice president at about the hour
when Pierce was taking the oath of
Office at Washington.
This arrangement was carried out to
dot. and ON the day appointed. at
plantation on one of the highest hills
in the vicinity of Matanzas. Mr.. King
was made vice president of the United
States amid the solemn "Vaya vol con
Dios" God will be with YOU of the
creoles who had assembled to witness
the unique spectacle. Vice President
King returned to his home at Cahaw-
ba, Ala. arriving at that place April
II. 1858, and died the following day.

BRUISED FINGER NAILS.
A Simple Remedy That Keeps Them
From TURNING Black. asg

A Simple Remedy That Keeps Them
From Turning Black.
A young woman who was going to
debutante dinner the next evening
bruised three of the finger nails of her
right hand badly by catching them in
door. Visions of an unsightly hand,
possibly one in sling, drove her to
the telephone to get in touch with her
physician.
His advice was: Get yourself
comfortable chair and an interesting
book, set yourself by a stationary
washstand in such a way that the
fingers can be held upright under the
faucet, then turn on the cold water
and let 1t run over the bruised fingers
for at least three-quarters of an hour.
preferably longer.
eff the water gets too cold or chiIls
you during that time turn it off for a
few minutes, but never once let the
hand get out of the upright position
so the blood can run into the bruised
finger and blacken.''
THE maiden's hand was unmarried
for her dinner, and she was so de-
lighted with the remedy she told it
for the benefit of the guests, one at
least of whom has tried this cure re-
peatedly since, being inclined to awk-
wardness and badly bruised fingers.
No matter how bad the hurt, unless
the finger is mashed the throbbing
will not be followed with weeks of
blackened naiIs.-Exchange

supply of Doan's Kidney Pills from
the Kaufman Drug Co. and since I
used them, I have improved wonder
fully. I earnestly recommend this
remedy to all kidney sufferers.

PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS.
House Working Rapidly, Senate Taxi
inc Its Time.

Washington, April 30.-Three weeks
of the extraordinary session of the
Sixty-second congress having passed
into history with a record Of rapid-fire
legislation by the house, the senate Is
finally organized to transact business
but in no haste to consider that part
of the Democratic programme already
disposed of by the lower branch.
Canadian reciprocity is the only
matter now being considered by the
senate and that probably will not
come before 1t for discussion for sew
eral weeks. The finance committee,
to which it was referred, has deterr
mined to grant hearings on the bill
which would carry the reciprocity
agreement into effect. How long COM
mittee deliberation will be prolonged
is problematical, but the prospect Is
for a lengthy discussion before the
measure emerges from committee.
Tomorrow or Tuesday the finance
committee will meet to determine up
on a plan of procedure on the reciproc-
ity measure. 1t practically has been
decided that all interests desiring to
be heard will be welcome. Chairman
Penrose of the committee Is in favor
of the bill and the majority Of the
committee opposed to 1t. The prevail
ing opinion is that it will be reported
to the senate without any recommen-
dation, as was the case last session.
Senator Stone of Missouri will ad-
dress the senate tomorrow on the
reciprocity bill and endeavor to ex-
plain some Of the Misrepresentation
that have been made regarding the
proposed agreement After his speech
there will be nothing before the senate
and adjournment until Thursday is
probable again, with adjournment
from Thursday until Monday to fol-
low. There is no prospect Of the
senate considering the house bills
providing for popular election Of sem
ators, pre- e-election publicity of cam
paign contributions or reapportion-
ment until the reciprocity issue has
been decided.
In the house the Democrats are
keeping up the rapid legislative pace
and most, if not all, of the coming
week will be devoted to discussion of
the farmers free list bill. Chairman
Underwood demonstrated his desire
to hasten action and also to give all
members a chance to be heard, by in
sisting upon IL o'clock as the hour to
convene instead of noon.
1t is probable that debate will be
closed Thursday or Friday. That it
will be passed there is no doubt, the
Democratic support being almost solid,
reinforced by the votes OF few pro-
gressive Republicans.
The Democratic leaders are anxious
to hasten the free list bill in order
that the ways and means committee
may be free to devote their time to
the revision of the textile schedules.
While this work is progressing 1t is
probable that the house will act upon
the report of the territories committee
on statehood for Arizona and New
Mexico.

EPISCOPAL COUNCIL.

vile this morning at 1890 o'clock, and
was opened with a service appropriate
to the occasion.
The principal feature Of today's pro-
gramme will be the laying Of the cor

4 o'clock, with proper ceremonies con-
Quoted by Bishop Guerry.
A large number Of delegates from
all parts of the state have been arriv-

ance on the council is unusually full.
The delegates are being entertained in
the homes Of the members Of the Epis-
copal congregation and Of Yorkville
people generally.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1911-05-02
THE INTER.uRBAN.

Although there is naturally more or
less interest in the plans of the Pied
mont and Northern railway, otherwise
known as the inter-urban, 1t cannot
be said that the matter has been very
seriously considered by any large
number of people in this section up
to this time.
The general plan of the company as
published in The Enquirer last fall,
and as restated by Vice President Lee
to a committee Of the Yorkville Board
Of Trade recently, Is that the company
will put up so per cent Of the capital,
local people of the communities pene-
trated will put up 25 per cent and the
balance will be obtained by means Of
mortgage bonds.
This is the general plan under which
most such corporations are financed,
and under it, of course, control goes to
the owners Of the majority Of the
common stock, while the market value
of this stock Is speculative, being in
iuenced by exchange operations based
largely on earnings, prospects, etc.
That the developments Of the plans
of this country promise to have a tre-
mendous influence on the future
growth Of the country affected, there
Is no question. That has been the
history of such enterprises elsewhere,
and that history will necessarily be
repeated here. New towns will be
built. Towns that are fiourishing will
be made to flourish more rapidly and
towns that now look promising; but
which fail to take hold in the right
manner at the right time, stand a
chance of being dwarfed and stunted.
The subject is one of very consid-
cradle Importance to this whole sec
Ia nr1ry 0o1 q
for the best ability that can be devel-
oped, either by the law Of self-preser-
walton or the spirit of progress, or

entry, and it Is to be presumed that
those schools which had seemed to have
a reasonable probability of being able
to make a showing had their repre-
sentatives on the ground. Where a
school had no representative, the as
sumption is that there was no repre-
sentative to send. That makes the
victories won by the boys victories
not only over those who actually par
ticipated; but over all the boys of the
state.
But it is not to be forgotten that this
competition is in its infancy. Other
schools will take the matter up, and
other contestants will be developed.
At the next annual meet, the proba-
bility is that the representation will
be fuller and the competition will be
still more spirited.
These athletic contests are worthy
of attention. 1t Is understood that as
general principle teacher will not
put boys forward in athletics unless
they make a proper showing in schol-
arship. OF course, the idea Of sport
appeals strongly to all boys, and most
boys have an ambition to excel in
sports. Where there Is no opportunity
for excellence in sports until excellence
has been established in scholarship,
scholarship which Is Of rather greater
Importance will be properly developed.
