WITHIN THE TOWN.

Mr.. p. w. Patrick and family are
now occupying their handsome new
home on College street.
The Bethany High school boys beat
the second nine of the Yorkville graded
school in a game of baseball in York
vile yesterday afternoon by a score OF
II to 5.
At a meeting held Immediately af-
ter the morning service last Sunday,
the Presbyterian congregation decided
to increase Rev. f. E. Gillespie's SAL
ary from s1,500 to $1,SOO per year.
The game of baseball between the
Yorkville and Rock Hill graded school
boys on the Yorkville grounds last Fri
day afternoon, resulted in favor Of the
Yorkv!lle boys by a score Of to 2. II
was quite an interesting game for the
boys. with some good playing on both
sides.
Mr.. B. NJ. Nevins has recently COM
pleted and Is now occupying a hand
some cottage on his lot on Charlotte
street on the east side Of the c. &
NV. railroad. Mr.. A. D. Dorset has
in course of construction what also
promises to be a very handsome cot
tage on his lot adjoining that Of Mr..
Nevins.
-Yorkville needs a park, not neces-
sarily as a luxury; but as one Of the
best investments the town can possibly
make. The town should own some
where convenient within its limits, at
least two or three acres to be used as
a place of recreation, for baseball and
other sports. The matter Is well worth
the most careful consideration.
The crowds on the streets Of York
VILE last Friday, especially during the
afternoon, were unusually large, and
calculated to impress the idea that
business was being done. The reason
of the presence Of so many people is
largely attributed to the attractions
being offered by the hustling dry goods
and millinery folks. The rains Of the
days previous had made 1t too wet to
plow, Friday was a fine day and the
wives and daughters of the farmers
took advantage of the opportunity.
The board Of health earnestly hopes
for the hearty cooperation Of the peo-
pie Of Yorkville on clean up day"
Monday, April II. Discussing the mat
ter this morning, Mr.. NJ. L. Carroll,
chairman of the board said: THE
benefit and Importance Of these clean
up days are now generally recognized
everywhere Experience has also shown
that the best results are obtained
through voluntary cooperation, and
the board sincerely hopes that this
will not be withheld. We feel assured
that when Yorkville takes up the mat
ter and does 1t as Yorkville knows how
to do things when she wants to, the
town will be Cleaned as clean as a
bright, new pin"

The fruit crop got another pretty Sc
rious jolt yesterday morning; but there
are those who say that a good deal
of it remains to take further punish
ment.
That cow owners Of town and coun-
try will neglect the splendid opportu-
nity that is to be offered for the eXhi-
bition of their finest animals In the
COW show, Is hardly to be thought Of.
Of course, there is no reason to ex-
pect anything than that merit shall
win. Every effort of the most expert
and experienced judging ability will go
to the making of awards that will
mean something; but still 1t Is an open
and fair competition to all. Just as
apt as not the best prizes may be car
ried off by animals whose owners
have no present idea Of their compare
tive value, and it Is especially to be
hoped that no one who may fail to put
a meritorious cow on exhibition Will
have occasion to regret such failure.
An automobile owner who has had
enough experience to enable him to
speak with confidence says that the
Kings Mountain road, as far as Beth
any Is now the best road out Of York
vile, and the Howell's Ferry road Is
probably the toughest. The Howelrs
Ferry road, he says has been consid-
erably improved, but still lacks great
deal Of being what it ought to be, and
will be with a continuance Of the kind
Of work that has been put on 1t dur
ing the past two or three years. The
Chester road Is showing up the best
percentage of improvement. but has
not yet fully come to its own In a
thorough mixing Of the sand and clay
that has been put upon it during the
past year or more.

"FRESH FISH,"

A representative of The Enquirer
happened to be at the Jail last Sunday
afternoon, when Constable T. F. Dun
lap brought in a young negro man,
sent up by Magistrate Crawford Of Be-
thesda township, to answer to the
charge of assault and battery with in
tent to kill.
The negro had stabbed another ne
gro in the head on Saturday, and in
ficted wounds that seemed to be quite
dangerous.
Led as much by curiosity as by any
other consideration, the reporter ac-
companied the sheriff and constable up
stairs to see the negro placed behind
the bars.
Before opening the door Of the steel
corridor Sheriff Brown went through
the clothes of the prisoner for weapons,
but found nothing in that nature ex-
cept an empty 32-calibre cartridge
shell.
where did you get this?" the sheriff
asked.
Il picked it up" the negro replied.
While the search was going on, the
negroes on the inside who had gather
ed at the entrance grating, raised the
cry of fresh fish," and stood by with
eager readiness until the sheriff put
time in bending him down until the
seat of his pants had been frightened
up" as one of them expressed 1t, and
big, hurley negro laid on half dozen
sharp, heavy blows with his own hand.
Now you's one Of us wild de priv
ilous of de place." announced the ne
gro who had administered the spank
ing. The newcomer laughed good ma
turedly, and the negro who had admin
istered the spanking, continued: "Sor-
ry we cannot offer you something to
eat; but we have just had dinner; so
you can just make yourself at home"
When, how, or where 1t originated,
would be hard to determine, but the
custom of so initiating new prisoners
has existed in the York county jail for
many years. Years ago the prisoners
had a wooden paddle for the purpose;
and the initiation was sometimes quite
serious: but there Is nothing Of the
kind now, since the spanking has to he
done altogether with bare hands.

President Taft has taken occasion to
let the members of congress know that
he does not intend to adjourn the ses-
sion peremptorily after the passage of
the Canadian reciprocity bill. as he
has the constitutional power to do. 1t
is his purpose to allow the two houses
to wrangie over the tariff schedules as
much as they may care to. AS a mat
ter of fact, for the Republican president
to prorogue congress after the passage
of the reciprocity bill would be very
bad politics, and the Democrats would
be glad to have the president do just
such a thing.

A jury rendered verdict of not
guilty in a murder case in Hanover
county, n. c., last Friday under a
state of facts that made Judge Peoples,
who was presiding so indignant, that
he declared that he would try no more
murder cases in that county. The
judge felt sure that the man was guilty,
and was unable to see how the jury
could find otherwise without deliber-
ately perjuring itself. The North
Carolina papers are beginning to de-
clare that it is safer to commit homi-
eide in their state, than it is to steal
sack of -four. There are those on
this side of the line who also know how
it feels to be up against such a condi-
tion of affairs.

In a controversy between men like
Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Bailey, especially
in such a matter as the selection of a
leader of the large Democratic minority
in the senate during the present cru
cial period, we are unreservedly with
Mr.. Bryan. Mr.. Bryan is a great and
able man, beyond question, and al
though only a private citizen is far
more representative of the Democrats
of the nation, or even of Texas, than Mr.
Bailey. Mr.. Bailey and his kind have
won in the present instance, tempor-
ariiy at least; but unless things go Mr.
Bryan's way, as compared with Mr.
Bailey's within the next few months,
the Democrats will stand poor show
very poor show, of retaining domina-
ton even of the house Of representa-
tives. Twist and turn it as we may
the present situation is largely due to
triumph of the labors of Mr.. Bryan.

The Princess Irene, big North
German Lloyd liner, that went on a
sandbar off Fire Island, near the en-
trance of New York harbor last Thurs
day, and which was in great danger Of
destruction during several days, was
tioated into deep water on Sunday
morning. There were seventeen hun
dred passengers on the Princess Irene
when she ran aground. and for a time
there was panic because it was recog-
niZed that If the weather should grow
rough. the vessel could easily be beat
en- to pieces by the waves. Immedi-
ately after the grounding of the ship
tugs made efforts to pull her into deep
water: but without success. The pas
sengers were taken off i'm life boats
without mishap, and the ship was
lightened as much as possible by re-
moval Of the cargo. Finally while the
tide was still rising and before II
reached its full height, the big ship was
fioated and towed away to a place OF
safety. The ship went aground In a
fog and was some ten miles out or
her course. The captain and crew re-
mained on the ship during the entire
danger. AS to whether the captain
will lose his job. has not yet developed.

President Taft has caused to be sent
out an emphatic denial Of the story
that troops were sent to the Mexican
border, because of a fear of the possi-
BILE butting in of Japan to secure a
coaling station. The sole and only pur-
pose of sending troops to Mexico, the
president says. was to have them there
at the vonvening of congress, so as to
be in a position to prevent a reign of
anarchy that the revolution threatens
in Mexico
