Plague and Famine In china.-An
International Medical conference be-
gan in Mukden on April 8 for the in
vestigation Of the plague situation.
Doctors from many nations were In at
tendance. At the outbreak Of the pres
ent epidemic practically no knowledge
concerning Its treatment existed In
China, and the first methods employed
on the lines generally adopted against
bubonic plague, proved fatal to several
Of the doctors. This intimidated 9TH
ers, but there were a few brave men
who went among the stricken people
and demonstrated that the disease
could be controlled. DR.. Kitasato, a
noted Japanese bacteriologist, says
that while no victim of pneumonia
easily controlled than bubonic, as the
pneumonia is contracted only from
exhalations or expectorations, which
can easily be avoided. The bacilli die
quickly in dry air, therefore the fear
of dust storms which have been prev
alent this season in China is ground
less 1t is believed that with the COM
ing of warm weather, which will drive
the Chinese out of doors, the plague
will be checked, as the principal dam
ger of infection Is from breathing the
polluted atmosphere of the houses In
which others have died. AS to the
famine letters dated March 5, but not
received in this country until April 5.
stated that at the time Of writing no
less than three millions of persons
were starving in the stricken prov
inces. No relief of the stricken Sec
tions was expected In time to save the
hundreds who were daily perishing.

Within THE TOWN.

Next Monday is cleanup" day. A
great many people have already COM
menced.
The Yorkville Creamery made 240
pounds of butter at churning a few
days ago, and now the average Is con-
sderably over 100 pounds day. The
milk supply is increasing steadily.
The way to make the biggest sue
cess for the cow show is for everybody
to work for II and to keep on working
for it. One good way to work is to
insist on friends from the country to
come to town those days and make
themselves at home.
The annual inspection Of company
l.. First regiment, took place in the
company's armory, Yorkville, last
night, and was made by Adjutant
General Moore, representing the state.
and Capt. Frowiter, representing the
United States army. There were
more than fifty men in ranks, and al
though little was said by the inspect
ing officers, the inspection was appar-
emily satisfactory.
Yorkville needs a public park, and
we can think of no other one thing
that Is more worthy of the co-opera-
tive efforts of the community. A park
means a place for the children to play
and get wholesome exercise, a place
for baseball and other sports, a place
for social intercourse, place for pub
lie gatherings, a place to foster and
encourage genuine interest In and love
for the entire community. The estab-
lishment Of a park Is an evidence Of a
generous and intelligent public senti-
ment to begin with, and no other one
thing is better calculated to develop
the community spirit to all the perfec-
ton of which it Is capable.
Recognizing as they generally do,
the good work that the local board Of
health has done during the past few
years, there is reason to expect that
the people of YOrkville generally will
recognize the reasonableness and the
sOundness of the very simple regula-
tions that have been made with regard
to cleanup day next Monday. or
course, there is a way to dismiss the
whole matter with lick and prom
ise." and people who are dishonest
with themselves. their neighbors and
the town, will do this. But those who
meet the situation fully and frankly.
will go down to the task with honest
energy and carry out the instructions
of the board of health both I'm letter
and I'm spirit. The result will he a
great deal o! benefit 70 the whole COM
munity and still further assurance of
better health during the spring and
summer Yorkville Is by no means a
filthy town as it stands; but there
is plenty of room for Improvement as
to sanitary conditions.

1t is said that the coca-cola trial at
Chattanooga has directly cost the de-
PENDANTS several hundreds of thou
sands thus far, with prospect that
there will be no final dacision-the
case now going to the United States
circuit court of appeals at Cincinnati
for two years or more. Over 100000
has been spent by the government it
self. Suppose the government had
jumped on some manufactures or food'
drugs or drinks who did not have sew
eral hundreds of thousands for legal
defense at his disposal. There should
be briefer and less expensive method
to determine questions like this
Charlotte Observer
There is food for reflection in the
Observers suggestions; but we are
left in doubt as to the correctness of
the indicated conclusion. In the first
place it occurs to us that there may
be some relation between the coca cola
company's abundant means and the
incentive to prosecution, and it seems
quite possible that these same means
may have stood in the way Of the prev
alence of the suit in the court below.
AS to the mere question Of money re-
sources. il will have to be admitted
that the government has somewhat the
advantage But leaving all other ques-
tions aside. we are inclined to the
opinion that if coca-c cola finally wins,
and the outlook is that it will win, it
will he much better off than if the suit
had never been brought. 1t is an un-
fortunate fact. however, We are per-
suaded. that whichever way the thing
as to whether or not coca cola is really
harmful will not he very great.

of meetings down over the phone in
office or you would have
never requested it. When 1t comes to
personals such as friends who may be
visiting you or who are in the city we
are glad to have you phone such items
to us.-GreenwOod Journal.
And there are others who have
troubles of the same kind. We are not
inclined to take issue with the
Journal in anything it has said. We
feel the same way about 1t, but just
little more strongly. 1t Is a fact that
it is very difficult to get anything
straight over the telephone, even per-
sonals; but newspaper people are
generally willing to take the risk rath-
er than lose the information. But the
probabilities of confusion and the
waste Of time are not the only consid-
erations that make the other PROPOSE
tions Objectionable. Every newspaper
feels that among the other notices re-
ferred to are many that should be paid
for by the line. He knows that 1t is
no part of his duty or obligation to
advertise meetings of any kind. He
often allows himself to be imposed up
on IN such matters rather than be dis
agreeable, and where he feels interest
ed and inclined he takes pleasure In
publishing such notices without cost;
but in all such cases he Is comforting
instead of receiving a favor Therefore
when he is called upon to leave his bus
mess to ans yer a telephone message
and not only take down and print free
notice that should have been furnish
ed in writing and paid for by the
sender, it is not surprising that he
should be just little doubtful as to
how to size things up, anyway. But
that is not all by any means. The cli-
max is when after having tried to be as
obliging as possible in taking an ad.
that should be paid for and publishing
it free of charge, the publisher after
ward runs against complaint of error
and a request for another insertion by
way of correction. But what Is the
use? Anybody ought to know that
this kind of talk can have no influence
on the people for whom it is intended;
that If the newspaper man feels that
he Is abused, his only hope of relief Is
to deal with each case of real or imag-
ined imposition on it's merits as 1t
comes up.

DOINGS IN CONGRESS.
Looks As If Reciprocity Will Go
THROUGH Without Trouble.

When the Canadian reciprocity bill
is called up today by Chairman Under
wood, of the ways and means commit
tee. says a dispatch published yester-
day, there will be no effort made to linn
II debate unless the minority should
demand an unreasonable time. Prob
ably not more than four days debate
at the most will be given and the meas
ure will be passed by a large majority
in the house and sent to the senate
within a week. There will be nc
amendment offered from the Democrat
ic side.
The free list bill. to be called UP
after the passage Of the reciprocity
bill, is also a caucus measure and can
not be amended by the party in charge
Of it. Under the new rule adopted by
the Send congress no general tariff
amendments can be offered by the
minority, because each amendment
must be germane to some particular
item in the bill. Considerable debate
Is expected on this bill, but the Dem
ocratic leaders expect that both caucus
measures will he ready for the senate
within two weeks.
The articles designated by this bill
for the free list would make differ
ence, as compared with the present du-
ties and revenue of less than million
and a half dollars.
Both the Canadian reciprocity bill
following the identical lines of the Nc
Call bill passed last session except fol
a clause authorizing the president to
continue negotiations for reciprocity
with Canada on articles not covered by
the pending agreement, and a bill to
put on the free list about 100 articles
now dutiable under the general tariff
were introduced Wednesday by Mr.
Underwood. Both were referred to the
ways and means committee and Will
receive early consideration.
The free list bill is designed to pla-
cate farmers for agricultural losses
which they feel they will sustain under
the Canadian agreement, but 1t con-
tains also some food stuffs and boots
and shoes. The list includes many
agricultural implements, cotton gins

These figures are the
worst for twenty years. 1t Is un-
doubtedly true that the consumption of
cotton is steadily increasing each year.
1t seems equally true that this increase
in consumption will continue. With in
creases of machinery, which have been
made, this evident consumption of the
mills of Che world on full time would
not be less than twenty million bales.
The query thus arises: Where Will the
additional amount of cotton needed for
the world and its increasing population
come from?' / think l am not too OPP
timistic to believe from the present

could be led if proper methods were
used and ii is along such lines that our

cure the best results for themselves
and the spinners.'

We know little or nothing about the
merits of the quarrel between Gov
ernor Blease and the supervisor OF
Greenville county. If the supervisor OF
Greenville really told the governor to
go to hell, he should have done nothing
of the kind: but that has nothing
whatever to do with the matter of us
ing the county's money for the purpose
of paying a detective appointed by the
governor. If the supervisor is in doubt
about whether he has a legal right to
pay the money. he should by all means
keep steady until the courts have ad-
vised him of his duty.

There will be some talk now about
possible complications as the result of
the act of the United States troops 60
ing over into Mexico and stopping that
battle. The proposition, however,
seems to be a clear one. The Mexi-
cans killed American citizens by firing
across the border. 1t is the business
of the United States to protect her
own citizens. This government hap
pened to have troops on the spot and
acted promptly and rightfully. AS to
whether this is the end of the incident,
we do not know; but it seems to us
that Mexico will have to answer for
the killing of American citizens before
she will be entitled to ask what her
territory was invaded for. That the
Mexican government has any objec-
tions to prefer, we have no idea. and
the revolutionists have poor way of
helping themselves.

With the unveiling Of the monument
at the birthplace of Andrew Jackson,
near Waxhaw, by the North Carolina
society of the Daughters Of the Amer
lean Revolution, a historical duty has
been performed and Jackson's birth
place has been established for all time
to come.-Charlotte Chronicle.
In a like manner, these same daugh-
ters may some day erect a memorial
to John c. Calhoun and make him a
native of North Carolina forever and
ever. Thus can history be made and
thus can history be written; but the
lesson to be learned is that the making
of history is not of so much practical
importance as is the writing thereof.
