There was considerable frost this
morning; but 1t was not enough to
have "a great deal of effect on the
crops.
When a man can raise corn worth a
dollar bushel at cost Of thirty cents,
It would seem that he should not want
any more profit.
II is going to take a good deal more
rain to restore the water in the earth
to the level it held say this time two
years ago. There has not been great
deal of rain during the past two years.
The news of the financial troubles OF
Mr.. o. p. Heath. the well-known cot
ton broker of Charlotte, has been re-
ceived with much regret here. where
Mr.. Heath has many friends. Rumors
of his troubles have been heard here
during several months past, and one
story that sounded very plausible was
to the effect that Mr.. Heath had told
his creditors that If they would let
him alone he would pay them all In
full. otherwise he would do what he
has done, file a petition in bankruptcy.
In the business world Mr.. Heath has
long been recognized as an honorable
and upright man, and although his
failure is unfortunte. his friends and
acuuaintances will have no less faith
in his integrity. And they believe also
that the chances are about nine out OF
ten that he will be able to get on his
feet again, for men like Mr.. Heath
never give up.

GERS for the coming year. Not that
any would be willing to have DR.. An
ma Howard Shaw, guiding spirit since
1904, step down, for it is doubted if
anyone could be found who would OPP
pose her. However, in view of the
projected transferring of national
headquarters from New York to Chi
cago, it has been suggested that some
suffragist residing centrally might be
a desirable president. In that event,
say supporters of the move westward,
so as to be near the storm center.
Dr. Shaw could be elevated to the
post of president emeritus, and thus
relieved of many onerous duties. Miss
Laura Clay of Kentucky and Miss
Kate M Gordon Of New Orleans, have
both been mentioned in connection
with the presidency. Consideration Of
the revision of the constitution and
bylaws kept the convention in ses-
sion until late. Numerous minor as
we'll as several major changes had
been made Professionally by the exec
utive board.

WHY JONES is RUNNING.
A Peculiar Political Story Heard In
Spartanbura.

From an authoritative source the
Herald learned yesterday that the an
nouncement last month of the can
didacy of Chief Justice Ira B. Jones
of the supreme court for the COVER
norship suddenly called a halt on
deliberately formed plans for a con-
ference of leading men from all coun-
ties of the state, at which a candidate
was to be chosen to oppose Governor
Blease who, would be acceptable to all
elements of the opposition.
There had been much correspond
ence IN regard 10 the matter, and
arrangements had been made for a
meeting Of delegates from nearly ev-
cry county in Columbia during the
Red Shirt reunion. 1t this meeting
1t was proposed to discuss the situa-
ton and make an attempt to concen-
trate on one man. 1t was then pro-
posed to build up an anti-Blease or
ganization In order to be ready for
an effectual campaign next summer.
The Herald's informant was averse
to the publication Of this matter, say
ing 1t would do no good and might
injure Justice Jones.
He declared, however, that num-
ber Of prominent men who had pre-
viously been on opposite sides Of the
political fence became disgusted with
the administration of Governor Blease
and agreed to forget their differences
and work in harmony to accomplish
his defeat. The Herald's informant
mentioned the names Of a number of
those who were in the agreement.
There were in the number Tillman-
ties and nti-Tillmanites, Prohibition
lists and local optionists.
The leader Of the movement, a man
prominent in state politics in former
years, found that 1t was looked upon
with favor in all parts of the state. II
was thought to be the only way pos
sible to defeat Blease.
Just as the plans were maturing
the Herald was informed, a certain
element became suspicious that 1t was
plot to put forward former Cover
nor John Gary Evans, Of this city
as the champion Of the opponents OF
Blease. This suspicion was unbound
ant. who said that sentiment had IA
vored Maj. John G. Richards, Jr., as
the candidate above anybody else.
The suspicious element urged Chief
Justice Jones to take the field al
once and thus gain the advantage and
ward off opposition. There was q
conference with Senator B. R. TILL
man. Justice Jones forwarded his
resignation to Governor Blease. An
emissary was hurriedly sent to him.
begging him to do nothing further
until the meeting during the Red
Shirt reunion was held.
But the next day Justice Jones an
nounced his candidacy, and the we'll
laid plans went agley.-Spartanbu

The Greenwood Journal and the
Yorkville Enquirer are opposed to re-
ceiving news over the telephone. 1t Is
very nice probably, to be situated as
the Greenwood and Yorkville papers
are so that it doesn't matter whether
they get the news in this week or next,
but where saving time and crowdlng
every possible inch of news obtainable
into a newspaper Is an object the tel
ephone is indispensable. 1t is certain
ly more convenient than to have some
body bring the matter written out TO
the office and then insist, as Is some
times done, on finding the busiest man
in the office and read it to him and
possibly talk about 1t for 15 or 2O
minutes.-Sp Journal.
Just why the Journal wants to talk
that way we do not know, unless 1t Is
because of its seemingly uncontrolla-
BILE propensity to take crack at every
head it sees sticking up. Of course
The Enquirer is only a twice-a-week
paper instead Of a daily except Sun
day; but when it comes to handling
news and other matter with speed and
accuracy, it yields nothing even to the
Journal But that is not the point.
We make use of the telephone in gath
ering news and we are glad to do it.
We have help on hand for the pur-
pose. But it is at the reception of ad-
vertising matter over the phone that
we grumble. Yes, we want all the
we can get; but we do not
like to take it over the telephone and
run the risk of having to correct err
rors at our own expense in the next
paper. AS we have said before the ac-
curate transmission of figures and un-
familiar names over the telephone is
next to impossible.

- New Orleans, October 22: The
first real cold snap Of the season has
spread over the cotton belt since the
market closed last week, and COM
plete returns regarding its severity
ought to be available on the opening
session Of the new week. Against
this as bullish factor will be the ex-
pectations regarding the census bu-
reau report on ginning to be given
out Wednesday morning, at 8 o'clock,
New Orleans time. The contention OF
the bears and even Of conservative
bulls is that cold weather will do
little real damage. The hope Of the
bulls Is that it will jolt spot people
into buying what they require. 1t Is
likely that the effect Of cold weather
on opinion in Europe will be much
greater than In this country and again
the bulls hope that 1t will start spin
ners to purchasing their require
ments. 1t Is generally conceded that
the crop Is so far advanced that the
frost can do 1t little harm. In the
it will kill the top crop, but this has
been expected. The ginners' report
is not expected to do anything but
confirm large crop ideas. Estimates
of 1t run from about 100000 to
100000 bales. 1t will take returns
over 100000 to put prices down very
much and probably figures consider
ably under 100000 to cause much
Of an advance. A year ago the gin
ners' returns were 5,410,000 bales.
The spot demand will be watched very
closely this week. for those who ere
bullishly inclined have the theory that
spots are going to lead futures in the
reaction upward that seems certain
sooner or later.

Editor Of the Yorkville Enquirer

EultOT OF lH0 1OFkVlll6 EuQuiTcT.
Referring to the communication to
the foreman OF the grand jury, over
the signature Of certain citizens Of
Guthriesville. and published in The
Enquirer of last Friday, said commu--
nication setting forth that had been
heard to say publicly that Guthries-
vile merchant had sold liquor straight
across the counter, and that a white
man of Guthriesville had hired ne
gro TO sell liquor at the school house
on the night Of October 13, I desire
to say that while there was nothing
the matter with the general purport
of the statement aforesaid, 1t was
slightly inaccurate as to time and
place, and credited me with being a
little more specific than 1 really was
or could have been with the informa-
ton / have on the subject. Such
foundation as there is for the publish
ed statement is based on the fact
that at Bethesda, on Sunday, October
Is, said that on one occasion ne
gro had told me that a white man
had tried to hire him to sell whisky
at Guthriesville. This, however, was
about three years ago. At the same
time and place, Bethesda, October Is,
/ stated that white man had told me
that he had seen negro pouring out
whisky In the store or GuthrteSV1lle
merchant and handing 1t across the
counter. All this grew out of a dis
cussion at the church Sunday follow
ing the fiddlers' convention, the sub
ject being the amount Of liquor In
evidence on that occasion. I made
the remark that believed that there
was a white man behind II all, and
another party remarked to the effect
that you know no white man would
do anything like that" My remarks
as to handing whisky across the coun-
ter, and a white man trying to. hire
a negro to sell whisky were made In
support of the belief l had expressed.
If had had the specific information
imputed in the communication to the
grand jury, there would have been
no need for such communication, as
1 would not hesitate to institute pros
ecution myself. w. E. Sanders

Spartanburg, October 81: David
Fowler, aged II, of Cherokee Springs,
this afternoon shot and killed his
brother, Dewey Fowler, aged 10. The
shooting occurred at the home of the
boys The two boys were playing to-
gether and, it seems, that Dave became
enraged at his younger brother over
some childish matter. Securing his
fathers gun, he fired the fatal shot.
Dewey fell in the yard and died with
in a few minutes. Coroner Turner was
notified and the result of the verdict
of the coroners jury was that the de-
ceased came to his death from a gun
shot wound in the hands of his broth
er, Dave. The case will be investigat-
ed in the courts.
