loaded with stocks of spring goods,
begin to long for the coming Of the
clear, balmy weather that makes the
public call for these goods. Later on
comes the season of light underwear,
straw hats, low quartered shoes and
other articles of a like nature appro-
pirate to the season.
Now with the summer season entire
ly over, the straw hat relegated to the
garret or closet, and other summer
wear becoming daily more unseasona-
BILE, the dry goods man begins to long
for colder weather. He knows that no
matter how full and elaborate his
stock may be, or how many people he
may get to look at 1t, he cannot do a
great deal of business until the wealth
er begins to bear testimony that the
! season Is fairly on, and he knows also
that when the weather gets right
trade will begin to hum, no matter
about the price of cotton or the search
ty of money.
Last Saturday was warm; but the
wind blew pretty hard, indicating
cooler weather coming, and trade pick
ed up Saturday evening very nicely.
The weather turned cooler during the
night and If the next day had been a
week day the increase in business
would have no doubt been apprecia-
BILE. And so 1t goes. The weather af-
fects the buyers favorably or unfav-
orably and the dry goods people watch
the weather.
Just now the dry goods people are
looking for weather that will be cold.
and If it is also wet, they will make no
objection.

BeIton Incident AGAIN.

Now comes Governor Blease with
Belton incident is re-opened in a man.
ner that seems to turn the tables on
the governors enemies.
The letter is from Miss Rogers, the
Bolton ticket seller who, it was alleg-
ed claimed that Governor Blease had
been disrespectful to her, and is in the
form of a report to the young lady's
superior in Columbia, setting forth
that she was really not offended al
anything that occurred in connection
with the alleged sensational incident
Editor and Representative Archie
Willis of Bolton, who raised the rum
pus, still claims that he did what he
did at the instance of the young lady
and that he has an affidavit from the
young lady that warrants every state
ment that he has made in connection
with the whole matter.
Just what it was we do not know;
but that something occurred at the
ever We never have thought that that
something was of very serious ma
ture. Our idea has been that what the
governor may have said is no worse
than is often said by other travellers
in their impatienCe or bad humor, and
that if it had been an ordinary travel
ing man on this occasion instead OF

The sudden cold snap beginning
Saturday night, seems calculated to
help business.
It does not take long for cotton
leaf to turn into caterpillar and
crawl off, does it?
Mr.. Joseph D. MiskelIy has left at
The Enquirer office, a cotton boil con-
tanning fourteen locks.
Mr.. F. C. Riddle of Yorkville, has
purchased the ]. w. Neil plantation
three miles north Of town.
MiIus PartIow, the negro who is
wanted on the charge Of attempting to
wreck the c. & NV. train at Crowd
er's creek trestle, seems to have dis
appeared.
Reports of the cotton caterpillar are
coming in from all sections of the coun-
ty; but there Is very little apprehen-
sion Of substantial loss, except that
there will be less litter from the cot
ton leaves.
Even though it be not certain that
birds would have destroyed the moths
that laid the caterpillar eggs, thus
preventing the caterpillar plague, that
not be protected.

THE COTTON CATERPILLAR.

While the cotton caterpillar, which
has appeared in such large numbers IN
all parts of the county and throughout
the state, is not stranger, no one re-
members that 1t has ever before ap-
peared in such large numbers.
The origin of the caterpillar was
quite a mystery at the beginning, and
to many is still a mystery; but the
consensus of belief seems to be that 1t
comes from the eggs of moth, depos-
tied on the under side of the leaves OF
the tenderer cotton plants.
The worms make their first appear
ance as tiny, pinhead crawlers, and the
leaves on which they are hatched grow
smaller as the worms grow larger and
larger. The worms attain length of
a quarter of an inch inch or inch and
half, in proportion to the amount of
food furnished by the plant. After the
cotton plant is completely stripped,
the worm starts off in search of more
food, and destroys grass or other veg
citation that may be to his liking and
tender enough for him.
Some people have reported that the
worms pass from one field to another;
hut others claim that this is a mistake.
They explain that in the first place,
the worms originate at about the same
time, in all the fields of young cotton,
and that as each colony cleans up its
own field there is no other field for it
to go to. Of course, after field has
been devastated, the worms may be
seen leaving it in swarms; but unless
they quickly find vegetable food other
than cotton, most of them die. Those
that find enough food to keep them
anve long enough go into a chrysa-
lis state, either in the ground or
against stones, roots, trees, etc.

Governor Blease, the young lady would
have thought nothing of it and there
would have been no hullabaloo.
AS it was, the incident appears to
have been used merely for the purpose
of making prejudice for political pur'
poses, and without much thought as tc
the boomerang effect it might have by
the time it was thoroughly threshed
out. Of course there was some little
foundation in fact, as there always Is
in such cases; but also as usual
when personal or political feeling runs
so strong as to becloud mature judg-
ment, action was taken without pre-
vious careful calculation as to the rea'
merits of the case.
We do not doubt that Editor Willis
has the affidavit he claims to have;
but in view of the young lady's sub
sequent letter to her superior. the
use of that affidavit will be somewhat
embarrassing. AS to how or why the
young lady has been induced to write
the letter that Governor Blease is hav-
ing published, is a subject for further
speculation; but with that we have
nothing to do. 1t is of no real import
ance.

The Grand Jury.

On the convening of every spring
term of the court-the first term of the
year-after the clerk calls the roll of
the jurors drawn and takes their mile
age, the first business in order Is the
judges charge to the grand jury. a
duty solemn and impressive, and gen.
orally discharged with considerable
ability.
The first thing usually impressed is
that the grand jury Is the grand in
quest of the county, the grand guard
ian of the public's morals, the grand
protector of life, liberty and the right
to pursue happiness under the law. In
their efforts to stress the power and
responsibility Of grand jurors to the
fullest limit, some judges explain to
the members of that body that in their
official capacity as a whole, they out
rank and take precedence over law
yers, sheriff, solicitor, and even the
very presiding judge himself, and in
so charging these judges do not in the
least overstep the mark, for theoret-
ically at least, a grand jury is all that
has been described.
AS a matter of actual fact, however,
a grand jury's real power does not
measure up to it's theoretical power.
The reason is not difficult to locate.
Composed as this body is. Of men
drawn from the ordinary walks of life,
the individual members are often un-
trained, to say the least of it, and are
unable to discriminate as to their du-
ties.
Even in as progressive and intelli-
gent county as York, the empaneling
of a grand jury not a single member
of which is able to frame and write
out such a commonplace paper as a
final presentment, is not unusual. 1t is
the exception rather than the rule,
when the grand jury includes a single
member who thoroughly understands
the responsibility of his position, and
who is proof against the designs of
shrewd, unscrupulous schemers who
would make use Of the body's powers
in the furtherance of ulterior purposes.
The grand jury, for instance, is
sworn not to present anybody through
fear, or refrain from presenting any
body from favor. 1t binds itself not
to be influenced by malice or be 9TH
erwise improperly actuated. A body
that could easily come up to these re-
uuirements could at the same time
lack a single member with enough in
telligent comprehension of the duties
Of the office to protect it and thus be
made the innocent tool in the commits
sion of a great wrong by unscrupu-
lous outside advisers.
Such things have been done.
It is an indisputable fact that there
is no greater or more powerful imple-
ment in the proper execution of the
criminal laws than an able, efficient
and conscientious grand jury; but all
moss covered traditions to the contra
ry Notwithstanding, an incompetent
grand jury is worse than no grand
Jury at ALL 1t is positively dangerous.
A grand juryman who knows of an
offense against the statute law and
who fails to bring the knowledge of
those offenses to his fellow grand ju-
rors, is himself a criminal, in that he
violates his solemn oath.

circular as applies to the matter, is as
follows:
The meeting for the awarding Of the
prizes in the corn contest will be held
at Winthrop college on Saturday, Oc-
tober 21st. The meeting will be held
in the old high school building just
across the street from the Winthrop

can are requested to arrive here by
$50 o'clock in order that the exhibits
may be arranged before the time for

the best ten ears, and for the best in
dividual ear exhibited. The individual

The Enquirer is in receipt of social
ed complimentary tickets from diff
ferent fair associations. The idea OF
the officials sending these tickets no
doubt, is that we will feel so f1attered
that we will make due acknowledge
ment and give the dates on which the
fairs are to be held. Our idea, how
ever, is different. Fair associations
which desire to be advertised through
The Enquirer, must proceed in the US
ual way. Where the associations have
something to offer that is worth while
they can afford to go at the matter in
a business-like way. Where they are
doubtful as to the worth of their res
pective shows, they are certainly fool
ish to expect The Enquirer to do their
spelling.

There is a good deal of sense in Bose
Crews's Tillman- Jones' Richards arti-
cles; but that suggestion that Rich
ards could hand over the prohibition
vote to anybody is so absurd as to be
laughable. AS we have said before,
the Prohibitionists are not fools, and
Richards himself could not get a hum
dred genuine prohibition votes in
South Carolina. Everybody, at least
all the Prohibitionists, thoroughly un-
derstand that Richards was a dyed in
the wool dispensaryite-as much so as
Tillman or Blease, and only turned
political Prohibitionist in the vain
hope that he would be accepted as the
leader of the great body of prohibition
voters in the state. We honestly be-
lieve that the Prohibitionists of South
Carolina would just as soon vote for
Mr.. Blease himself as Mr.. Richards,
and the idea of Mr.. Richards having
any influence on the prohibition vote
positively makes us laugh. If Mr..
Richards is distinguished for anything
at all that something is the almost pa
thetic loyalty with which he has clung
to the coat tails of Senator Tillman
from the beginning until now, and if
he has ever gotten any political recOg-
ton of any kind whatever from any
other cause, we do know when, where
or how
