MT. Theo. Heyck, Jr, of Houston, Texas, was a most welcome visitor in the city Monday. He was on his way to Memphis and could not resist the temptation to stop over day. MT, Heyck was formerly manager of the Cotton Oil Mill at this place, and was transferred to Texas about eleven years ago. He was pleased to see the prog ess the city had made, and time has not dimmed that longing in him to return.

Rice Griddle- Cakes

Mix two and one half cupfuls of flour, two tablespoontuls of sugar, four teaspoonfuls of baking powder and one half teaspoonful of salt says F. M. NJ. in Wom- ans Home Companion for March. Work in one half cupful of cold cooked rice with tips of fingers; then add one and one half cupfuls of milk, one egg we'll beaten and two tablespoonfuls of butter. Drop mixture by spoonfuls on a hot griddle; by the time the last one is on, the first one should be cooked on one side and ready to turn. (When it should be pufed, full of bubbles and cooked on edges ) Turn and cook the other side. By the time the last one is turned, if the work is done quickly, the first one is ready to remove and serve. Care must be taken if the finished products are to be regular in shape, of the same size and evenly Drowned. It must be remembered that the center of the griddle is usually the hottest part. A soapstone griddle needs only to be heated. The ordinary griddle or frying-pan which is frequently used must be first heated and then rubbed over with the freshly-cut part of half raw turnip."

HOW TO SECURE A SURVEY
Information of Interest to Applicants Who Desire Public Land
 Surveyed


 gress annually appropriates the approximate sum of s4oo,ooo for the survey and resurvey of the public lands of the United States, which sum is apportioned among thirteen western states and terri tories according to the require ments of these respective districts.
 Under existing law, the expen- diture of the annual appropriation for public surveys is restricted, first, to lands occupied in whole or in part by actual settlers on the public domain, and, second, to lands adapted to bona fae set tiers will be given preference in the matter of authorizing the sur veys of townships, payable from this regular annual appropriation, and that applications by persons not actually residing on their claims, such as desert land claim ants, for the survey of public lands including their claims will receive consideration only after the demands of actual settlers on other lands have been recognized, and provided the fund annually apportioned for each district has not been exhausted.
 In making application for the survey of public lands, the appli- cant should carefully determine, as near as practicable, the approxi- mate section, township, and range in which his claim is located and he should describe in detail all improvements which he has made on his claim.
 The application of one actual bona .fde resident in a township, where there are no settlers, will be sufficient to secure the survey of twelve sections of that town ship; the applications of two such resident settlers will secure the survey of twenty-four sections; and the applications of three such settlers will secure tn e survey of thirty-six sections in order to include their claims. It would be advisable for each appli- cant to have two or more settlers who are living within the town ship make similar applications for survey, as the government prefers to survey all of the agricultural and grazing lands within a town ship in the first instance in order to avoid the additional expenses that would be incident to the sur vey of portions of that township at different times.
 Public land surveys whose cost is payable from the regular an nual appropriation, when author. ized by the commissioner of the general land office, are made with out cost to the settler, the govern ment paying all expenses in con- nection herewith.
 The contract system of survey ing public lands no longer obtains. Since July I, 1910, the public land surveys have been executed by salaried U. s. surveyors or transitmen under the supervision of the general land office and the U. 5. Surveyor-General for the district in which the lands are sit uate. It is expected that, under this new system, many of the de- lays, which were frequently expe- rienced in the final acceptance of surveys under the old system, will be avoided.
 The claims of all applicants for the survey of public lands are ex- aulined in the field hv an apent of

COTTON WEIGHER MATTER.

The general cotton weigher law
which purports to provide a means
whereby an official weighing system
may be established in any cotton
market upon the petition of fifty or
more cotton producers Is only Joker
according to an order handed down by
Associate Justice Gary at Abbeville
yesterday and filed with the clerk of
the court for York county this morn
ing.
Justice Gary holds in effect, that
Notwithstanding the previous appoint
ment Of one weigher for any given
market, regardless Of the number of
bales sold on that market, the county
commissioners may afterward, in their
discretion appoint as many additional
weighers as may be asked for, whether
those additional weighers be disinter-
ested. unattached applicants or cotton
men in the employment Of local buyers
According to this order, the very
general idea that the object Of the cot
ton weigher act was to provide by law
for the election or appointment Of one
official weigher whose duty 1t should
he to weigh all cotton and adjust diff
ferences between seller and buyer as to
moisture, ETC.. is a nullity, because as
a matter of fact there can be as many
weighers as there ever was, and the
situation remains practically un-
changed.
This matter came up before Judge
Gary at Abbeville last Saturday on
summons and complaint proceedings
against Messrs. W. T. Moore, Paul
Nicely Moore and ]. r. Lindsay, Jr.
employees Of Cotton Buyers w. R. Car
roll, B. N. Moore and Latta Bros, OF
Yorkville, requiring them to show
cause why they, having been subse-
quently appointed by the county board
of commissioners as cotton public
weighers should not be enjoined from
weighing cotton in competition with
Mr.. J. E. Burns, previously appointed
to said position.
The complaint made in behalf Of Mr.
Burns was directed against the county
board of commissioners, the cotton
buyers named and their employees,
John r. Hart, Esq, appeared for the
plaintiff; w. B. Wilson, Jr., for the
county board of commissioners and G.
w. S. Hart, Esq, for the defendants.
The answer of the defendants was
mainly on technical grounds. They
held for one thing that the act under
which all the appointments had been
made was a nullity in that a conflicting
act passed the same day made 1t Of no
effect. They held also that II the act
was not a nullity, the board had au-
thority under its terms to appoint more
than one weigher, and II there was any
question that his right had not been
properly exercised. the legal remedy
was by quo warranto proceedings
rather than by summons and COM
plant.
Justice Gary holds that the act has
not been nullified by the approval Of a
conflicting act on the same day, and
goes on to hold that by the terms of
the act the commissioners have the
right to appoint more than one weigh
er, and also II this right Is to be ques-
toned it should be done through quo
Warranto proceedings.

SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS.

1t Is rumored In SpartanDurS, says
the Herald, that Ira B. Jones, chief
justice Of the state supreme court, may
allow his name to be used as a candi-
date for governor as the one upon
whom all who are opposed to Governor
Blease may unite. The report Is that
the chief justice has been appealed to
by his friends from all parts Of the
state and has the matter under ad-
visement. 1t is said that he does not
seek the office and will not be actively
a candidate, but If it is made to appear
to him that South Carolina needs him,
he will make the fight for the people.
- Barnwell, August 26: Sheriff
Frank H. Creech was arrested this
morning by Coroner ]. Staff Halford
on three warrants one charging as
sault and battery with intent to Kill.
and murder and one assault with in
tent to kill and murder. The first two
warrants were sworn out by Barnle
and John McLemore, father and son.
and the last by Frank Grubbs. The
arrest Of Sheriff Creech Is the out
come of the affair at the Southern de-
pot several weeks ago. at which time
the sheriff fired at a buggy In which
the two McLemores and Grubbs were
driving. the bullet passing through
the coat sleeve of the elder McLemore
and lodging in John McLemore's leg
a few inches above the knee. MT
Creech was attempting to seize an al
legged shipment Of whisky. Tne
amount Of bond was fixed at $500 In
each case. which was readily furnish
ed. The outcome Of the affair Will be
awaited with much interest.
An aggressive campaign Is being
waged throughout the state by the
officers of the South Carolina Farm
er's union to secure subscriptions for
stock in the proposed chain of ware
houses to be erected at various points
in the state to house the cotton crop.
The company has been organized,
with an initial capital stock Of $780,
900 and an ultimate capital Of $780,
900. The plan to build the ware
houses was launched at the same time
with the movement to encourage the
farmers of the state to hold their cot |
ton for a better price because or the
short crop. According to the blanks
that have been sent out to the local
unions by ]. Whitner Reid, secretary
of the state union. 80 per cent or the
capital stock must be paid December

a while the Free Press was started in
opposition. Both continued for while,
taking advertising on business basis
and giving away copies of the papers
to whoever would receive them, until
within a short time the streets were
Uttered. Now both have failed, and
the paper that has stuck to business
all the while is still in the field. There
is some interest in the incident; but
the thing is not new. Of course, any
body can understand that a business
from which everything went out and
nothing came back would have to
fail; but this is not the whole idea
here. Many large city dailies sell
copies at less than half the cost of the
white paper they contain, and prosper
on the receipts from advertising. 1t
is possible to adjust advertising
charges to a basis that would admit Of
a small profit even though the circula-
ton were free up to certain fixed
limit OF course, If there be no limit to
the number of papers to be printed and
given away, the profits from the ad-
vertising would soon be dissipated.
But we do not think this was the sole
trouble with these Oklahoma papers.
They failed to impress the public that
they were of actual value and the pub
lie did not care for them. If they had
contained real merit, they would not
have been bound to fail. AS soon as
they realized their inability to stand
the pace on a giving away basis they
could have informed the public of the
fact and the public would have been
willing to do the right thing. 1t would
have paid for the papers what they
were worth. We have'more than once
noted practical Illustrations Of this
same principle in the case of papers
that did not claim to be free; but which
undertook to force themselves on the
public by neglecting to collect the sub
scription price. 1t has been our OBJ
servation that whenever newspaper
drops into such habit, it begins to
lose the respect of the constituency to
which it Is trying to cater, and that
respect is seldom regained. OF course.
the Oklahoma slip up may be traceable
to financial reasons alone; but we are
inclined to think that there are
other considerations hardly less po-
tent.

Scotched BY Smith.--That Senator
Ellison D. Smith of South Carolina
has got Secretary Wilson, head Of the
national department of agriculture, In
a hole will hardly be disputed.
The State said at the time the de-
partment made its estimate-on June
reports-of the cotton harvest in Oc-
tober, November and December, that
it was the merest guesswork. And
when the report Of that department
of the government affects the pockets
of millions Of people, it is little short
of criminal to promulgate guesses.
Secretary Wilson tells Senator
Smith that he knew nothing about
the report which bore down prices of
cotton until 1t was published, and
that it was prepared by a subordi-
nate. That Is a most extraordinary
power to place in the hands Of sub
ordinate-especially when 1t is known
that in past years the cotton operators
in New York established secret COM
munication with subordinates in
charge of the preparation OF the gov
ernment's cotton reports. The sub
ordinates leaked-to the great advan-
tage of the operators.
A true statement of the acreage and
the condition of the crop should be
published. From that data the plant
ers and the spectators are as capable
as subordinate or chief at Washington
at guessing the yield. The growers
and the traders know that in June
what looks like fourteen million bales
may be reduced to twelve million by
December, or what looks like twelve
million may be increased to fourteen.
But it Is not part of a government de-
partment to give to a guess, whose
value Is dependent upon succeeding
weather conditions for three months.

President e. w. Dabbs of the South
Carolina Farmers Union wrote from
Gaffney last Saturday that he had
hoped to come to YorkVille to talk with
farmers and commercial people about
the cotton situation, but was unable
to do so, because he found himself
physical unfit to stop overnight. He
saws, however, that he hopes to get the
whole matter before the people Of York
county at an early day.
Mr.. John McCarter insists that The
ENQUIRER gave him rather too much in
dividual credit in connection with the
matter of securing the location OF the
north and south road over the Lincoln
road route. He does not question the
statement as published as far as 1t
went, except that since especial atten-
ton has been called to personal activ-
ity in connection with the long cam
paign, he desires that due credit be
given to his colleague, Mr.. Dave Par
rott, who was on the job from start to
finish and who did as much good work
as any other one man. 1t Is fair to say
in this connection also that neither Of
these gentlemen have made or are
making any claims in regard to the
matter, and what was said on the sub
iect, was said without the previous
knowledge of either of them. Both
have been earnest and enthusiastic
workers on the whole proposition and
both recognize and appreciate the val
liable assistance and cooperation they
have had from scores of sources.
