will be held just before the students
leave for home at Christmas. This is
the first contest of this kind that the
students Of the Fitting school have en-
gagged in and they, of course, are de-
sirous Of coming off with the honors
in this event.
YorkviIle and Hickory Grove.
The Yorkville High school boys
went to Hickory Grove last Friday af-
ternoon and played a game of foot
ball with the Hickory Grove boys.
The game resulted in favor Of the
Yorkville boys by a score Of 25 to 0:
After the game Professor Holiday and
others, entertained the Yorkville boys
at an oyster supper, and sent them
home thoroughly well pleased with the
Hickory Grove people. Speaking OF
the game one of the Yorkville boys
said: 1T was a fair and square game
throughout. We beat the Hickory
Grove boys not because we have bet
ter material for we have not, but be-
cause We have had better training
and more of it. If the Hickory Grove
boys had Prof. Riddle to train them
for a month, they would be able to
give us about all we would want and
maybe a little more; but maybe they
will come it without Mr.. Riddle. They
played a much better game last Fri
day than they did the first time We
played with them. There was no
|quarreling or contention on either side.
Both elevens went In to play football
and they played tho game"
Killed In Charlotte.
Mr.. P. w. Patrick. in charge Of the
Yorkville agency Of the Southern rail-
road, was busy good part OF Satur-
day trying to get information OF one
]. M. Wright, who 1t was stated, had
died in Charlotte on Friday as the re-
suit of having been struck by an en-
gine the day before. Mr.. Patrick had
the idea that Mr.. Wright belonged In
the western part Of the county; but
was unable to confirm his surmise in
that particular. 1t turns out that the
unfortunate man belonged In Fort
Mill. The Charlotte Observer Of yes
terday, had the following: "The re-
mains of James M. Wright were taken
to Fort Mill, s. c., his former home,
yesterday afternoon at 4.35 o'clock.
The funeral service was conducted
Immediately on the arrival Of the train
at that place, the remains being taken
from the train to the cemetery.
Wright died Friday afternoon as the
result of injuries received Thursday
afternoon about 6 o'clock when he was
struck by a Southern railway train.
He was standing on the track facing
south when the train rolled In from
the north. He was born December Fl,
1873, and was therefore nearly 38
years Of age. His son-in-law, who
arrived Saturday night and took
charge, said that Wright travelled,
selling cotton spindles."

The cotton conference called by Gov
ernor Colquitt Of Texas, gathered in
New Orleans yesterday and discussed
various matters without coming to an
agreement on any particular line OF
action. The question of state aid
along the line of the valOrization plan
being practiced in Brazil for the pro-
lection of the grea, coffee industry OF
that country was introduced; but
there was no finality in the discussion
The claim was made and there seem
ed to be general endorsement of the
proposition, that even though the
present crop is a record breaker, still
the demand is greater than the supply
and every bale of this crop ought to be
worth 143 cents pound. 1t is expect
ed that the conference will agree up
on something definite today or tomor-
row.

TILLMAN OFFERS CORRECTION
Says Augusta Chronicles Representa-

Augusta Chronicle:
Trantnn 8 C. Oct 2S 1911

Augusta Chronlcle:
Trenton, s. c., Oct. rs, 1911.
Editor of the Chronicle:
In today's Chronicle your corre-
spondent, Mr.. McWhorter, has fallen
into a serious mistake or omission.
He makes me say "if he (Jones) does
that and makes his fight on Blease's
record, he will win" I went on to
say, and / now repeat, that as the
record now stands under the indict-
ment as drawn by the newspapers, 1
do not believe Jones or anyone else
can defeat him. Something new and
disgraceful must be brought out
which will shock the people and
arouse state pride. Very truly yours,
B. r. Tillman.
with all respect to the senator,
the author of the story quoting Sena-
tor Tillman, in yesterdays Chronicle,
was not impressed with this important
part Of the senator's reply to a direct
question, and does not recall 1t. How
ever, the senator, undoubtedly, knows
best just what his reply was intended
to convey; but, as he recalls, part
of the interview was privileged con-
versation and was not, therefore,
used.-John L. McWhorter.)

THE PRoDIGAL JUDGE.

The Prodigal Judge" is the title of
in The Enquirer. The opening chap
ters will appear within the next few
weeks and it is proper now to put the
public on notice that the story is one
of unusual interest and power.
The Prodigal Judge is an ante bel
lum story that pOrtrays the strongest
passions of the human heart, both as
to crime and as to the highest and no.
blest aspirations of life.
The scene is laid mainly in North
Carolina and Tennessee, and the hero
is an old-time South Carolina gentle
man, who, wrecked as the result of the
treachery of a supposed friend, and
reconciled to ruin, is in the end arous-
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1911-10-31

ed to reassert the splendid manhood
that was originally his by inheritance,
education and training.
The time of the story is back in the
30's, when the famous outlaw, Murrell,
was at the zenith of his fame, and al
though Murrell is hardly to be regard
ed as one of the most important char
acters, he figures prominently and
meets his downfall through the cour-
Iage and ability of the Prodigal Judge.
This story is by Vaughan Kester, and
Is easily the strongest work of that
able and popular author. We are en-
abled to reproduce it by a special ar
rangement with the owners Of the
copyright, the arrangement having
been effected as the result of quite a
liberal payment by us in hard cash.

There has been some effort to show
that Superintendent Swearingen was
somewhat extravagant in his estimate
of the property values destroyed and
increased expense incurred by the re-
cent change of school books; but we
have not been impressed with this ef-
fort. We are inclined to think that
Mr.. Swearingen's estimate is pretty
rinse to the mark

Mr.. w. F. Caldwell, who has for sew
eral years been editor and proprietor
of the Chester Lantern, has sold that
property to a Chester company, pre-
paratory to his taking charge of the
Columbia bureau of the News and
Courier. Mr.. Caldwell is high class
newspaper man, of unusual ability,
accurate and reliable, and will be
just the man to properly represent
the News and Courier in Columbia.
His removal from Chester, however,
will be a distinct loss to that town.

The Enquirer does not assert that
anybody has received a rake-off in
connection with the school book deal.
It does assert, however, that if it had
had the matter in charge, it could
have gotten a big rake-off for itself
without increasing the present cost of
books to the children. The most i'm
portant thing, however, as we see it,
is not the "rake-off' that was possi-
BILE; but the fact that the change was
absolutely unnecessary.

In reply to the Observers question
whether it believes that "if the women
in South Carolina could vote they
would secure a better enforcement of
the laws" the Yorkville Enquirer
says 1--WE do not see how they could
make the situation worse" Therefore,
it is worth making the experiment,
h?-Newberry Observer.
Not a bad deduction.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1911-10-31

While of course the expense of buy
ing new school books is a considera-
BILE burden on parents, that is not the
sole or even the most important objec-
ton to these frequent changes of
school books. The main objection
practical need fc- the change; that the
change is harmful rather than bene-
fetal, even though old books were re-
placed without expense. In the first
place, any book the expense and re-
sponsibility of which any experienced
publisher is willing to stand for, is
good enough for use in the schools.
About the only exception to this rule
is in the case of books which teach
things the parents do not want their
children taught. But assuming that
a book is all right in general particu-
lars. every change involves a complete
loss. That the older children for in
stance, have studied a particular book
on English, Latin, arithmetic, is an
advantage to the younger children
coming afterward, and familiarity of
parents with the books their children
afterward use is great advantage to
the children. The only real advan-
tage that comes from the changing of
books is the shifting of profits from
the owners of one set of copyrights to
the owners of another set of copy
rights, and incidentally, sometimes a
certain amount of rakeoff to some of
the people who have the power to or
der the change. Now that this last
change has been made and there is no
help for it, about as good a way as
any is for the general assembly to
make future changes very much more
difficult than past changes have been.
