There is an increasing interest in the
use of improved cotton seed, especially
the long staple varieties and this is
most encouraging.
A new bank has been organized at
Blacksburg with a capital Of $4,000.
Dr. w. Ernest Anderson Is president
and Mr.. T. M. Caldwell is vice-pres-
ident.
There will be a place for beef cat
tie in the cow show and also for dairy
products. Those interested may de-
pend upon that and govern themselves
accordingly.
The purpose Of the cow show pro-
posed to be held in Yorkville on May
10 and II, Is educational. 1t is desired
that the COW owners should not only
be correctly advised as to what they
really have; but also Of wherein there
is room for profitable Improvement.
The Chester road people are still
giving their active attention to their
highway. They appreciate what they
have done and what has been done for
them and there Is developing pride in
the idea of having the best road in the
county. That they have every advan-
tage that way there is no question.
Under the Democratic distribution of
committee places, Congressman Fin
ley Is made chairman Of the commit

committee on postoffices and post
committee on reform In the civil SER
vice.
Up to the present time, there Is no
indication that Yorkville is to be in
cluded in the interurban project-cer-
tainly not on the ground floor. 1t looks
like the towns only chance Is going to
be some time later on when the route
from one desirable point to another
necessarily takes in Yorkville.
The race Of the corn club boys Is
now fairly on, and we think it will be
a good one. OF course, everybody can
not win prizes; but the boys who use
their heads and hands, and continue
to the end, will contribute to the
prestige of the county in corn raising.
And so far as we are able to see there
is no good reason why some York
county boy cannot lead the state. or
even beat Jerry Moore's record.

invitation sent out by the same, au-
thority and signed by the citizens

After calling the meeting to order,
and announcing that the object OF the
gathering was already so well under
stood as to make further explanation
unnecessary, the chair entertained ana
the meeting adopted a resolution TO go
into a permanent organization by the
election of a president. secretary
and a treasurer.
Messrs. L. r. Williams and q. n.
OI,eary were proposed for president;
but on q statement from Mr.. O'Leary

imously elected by acclamation. MT.

Most South Carolina editors know
what it is to be at sea-" but probably
not so many have had experience, on
the sea. The latter situation Is as
pleasant as the other is embarrassing
1t is to be hoped that all the boys
who can do so, will take advantage of
that sea trip to New York. The ex-
penses will be almost nothing-sixteen
dollars from Charleston and return
and only a dollar a day for two or
three days in a first-class New York
hotel. Then there is the promised en-
tertainment by the American Type
Founders company, for which we have
all been working so long, and by the
New York and the Metropolitan Life
Insurance companies. This will also
he worth while. And, 20, you Coney!"
You fellows who have been there once
don't need to he told anything, and you
fellows who have never been there
need to go. 1t is the greatest junket
that has ever been offered to the press
association.

Some of the papers are suggest
ing Impeachment" We have never
thought seriously of the idea, and we
do. not think seriously Of 1t now. I'm
peachment does not so much involve
the question Of good and valid grounds
as it involves the sentiment Of the
people and the stuff that enters into
the general assembly. To impeach
necessitates the agreement of two
thirds of the house on charges, and
the agreement of two-thirds Of the
senate on a conviction. The thing is
so very difficult as to hardly be worth
considering. The idea Is certainly not
to be taken seriously. until 1t is dem
onstrated that some of the meritorious
bills that have been held up can be
passed over the governors veto.

The death of DR.. Seaman A. Knapp
in Washington last Saturday, marks
the end of a career that has been
worth while. DR.. Knapp was the fore
most expert OF the department Of agri-
culture. and during his long career
did more than all others have ever
done to make that department of real
practical value to the people of the
United States. DR.. Knapp's idea OF
the mission of the department was
ed as the foundation of all property,
and his splendid intellect and ener-
gies were directed to that end. 1t was
largely through his efforts, after he
had proved his own capacity and eff
cheney that millionaire publicists were
induced to furnish the agricultural de-
partment with funds that could not
then he obtained through the
Federal congress and with these
funds he inaugurated practical
educational work among the farmers
on a scale the like of which the world
has never before seen. With DR.. Knapp
originated the idea of going on the
farms and showing the farmers. He
was the father of the cooperative
demonstration work, and it was he
who first gave the farmers to under
stand that the agricultural department
stood ready to ransack the world in
search of any knowledge that seemed
problems. DR.. Knapp was one of the
great men of the nation. The wis.,
dom of his work has been many times
demonstrated and it will probably go
on for generations. This splendid old
man deserves a place in the school
readers and the probability is that he
will get such place.

Bun Bridges was elected secretary and
Mr.. O. E. wilkins was elected treas
urer
On motion of Mr.. O'Leary, it was
decided to call the organization the
York County Live Stock association
and to have 1t duly incorporated under
the laws of the state, and this matter
having been disposed of, the next ques-
ton taken up was the date Of the pro-
posed show.
The matter of the date of the show
provoked considerable discussion.
There were suggestions as to the mid
die of May, the first Of June and the
first Of July. The middle of May was
objected to on the ground that the
COWS do not look so well then as later
on. June was objected to on the ground
, that the farmers will be so busy dur
ing the early part Of that month, that
it will be impossible for them to at
tend, and July was dismissed for the
reason that 1t Is not safe to drive cows
considerable distance In excessively
hot weather. In favor Of the middle Of
May, 1t was argued that while cows
may not look so we'll at that season,
judges will be fully competent to make
all necessary allowances and then
after planting Is a slack season, If
there Is any slack season, among the
farmers. Accordingly 1t was decided
that the show should take up two days
and Wednesday and Thursday, May 10
and II, were selected as the days best
suited for the purpose.
When 1t came to the matter Of an
ranging details for the show, the meet
ing decided that the question involved
such a wide range for discussion and
variety Of opinion that 1t would be
best to leave 1t to an executive COM
mittee to he selected by the meeting
and authorized to use its discretion In
making the show as great a success as
possible. Accordingly on motion. the
chair appointed committee of three,
to duly consider the subject and to
make recommendations.
The committee retired and after
canvassing the situation as far as was
practical under the circumstances.
recommended the following names:
Messrs. L. r. Williams, Bun Bridges
and o. F. wilkins by virtue Of the res
pective offices to which they had been
chosen: Messrs. s. c.. Wood, I. H. Nor
ris, ]. @. Wray, ]. Harvey Witherspoon,
T. NJ. Ferguson, J. C. Wilborn, w.
D. Grist, E. w. Long, M. L. Car
roll and R G. Ratchford. On motion
from the floor, the names Of Mayor
Hart and Mr.. G. H. O'Leary, president
Of the board Of trade, were added, and
with the amendments the report Of the
committee was unanimously adopted.
There was general appreciation Of the
fact that the time In which preparations
are to be made is very short, and with
the understanding that the executive
board would lose no time In doing the
many things needful in arranging for
the show that the people Of the town
have already so literally provided for,
the meeting was adjourned.

The concessions in the message

The concessions in the message of
President Diaz seem to presage the
success of the revolutionary move
ment. Although the demands Of the
revolutionists appear to be just. they
would not have been granted If the
government thought it could help it
self, not while the revolutionists are in
the field with arms in their hands.
The probability is that the revolu-
tionists will now make demand for still
further concessions, and keep on maxi
ing additions to those demands until
the present government will have to
step down and out.

- The burden of statehood was
brought home to the state of Okla
homa today when the supreme court
OF the United States in substance told
the state that it was to look hereaf-
ter to it's own law for the regulation
of the liquor traffic and freight rates
and not to the Federal government
The state about a year ago filed an
original petition in the supreme court
asking it to enjOin railroads entering
the old Indian Territory carrying
liquor into that section of the state.
The request was based upon the re-
uuirement that the state of Oklahoma
provide in its constitution that liquor
should not be sold there. The su-
preme court said today that the state
should go into the state courts to en-
join railroads under the state law, II
il desired The court likewise re-
fused to enjoin the Federal judges in
Oklahoma from enforcing certain de-
crees they had issued in liquor cases,
involving a conflict of authority be-
tween the Federal and state courts.
The court held that in view OF Its
right to review the cases on writs or
certiorari. ii would not enjoin the
judges.

Mr.. Bun Bridges. manager Of the
Bratton farm, has notified his custom
ers that he will discontinue the deliv-
cry of milk after next Saturday. The
Bratton farm has had a complete mon
opoly of the milk delivery business
for many months, and Mr.. Bridges in
sists that he cannot get enough out OF
1t to pay expenses. He will hereafter
send the surplus milk from the farm to
the creamery. Town customers who
have been depending upon the daily
deliveries. will have to make other ar
rangements, which probably means
that they must either get cows or do
without fresh milk.
The annual meeting Of the York
County Bible society was held in the

morrow, contrasting what it is expect
ed to do for the boys and girls of the
future with what the school of yester-
day did for the boys and girls OF the
past.
The first of the articles appears in
the April issue. 1t Is by Arthur D.
Dean, chief of the division of trade
schools of the New York state educa-
ton department, and was awarded first
prize among 300 manuscripts that
were submitted on the subject
1t is indeed a noteworthy utter
ance. Not only does it disclose the
glaring deficiencies and inefflciencies
of the present system, but it points
out how they may be remedied.
One sentence discloses its central
idea In the school of tomorrow II
will be boys more than books, and liv-
ing more than letters"
How this idea Is eXemplified may
be gathered from the following para
graphs, striking for their epigramma-
tic forcefulness:
"Predigested education and printers
ink will not produce successful and
virile men.
TT (the school of tomorrow will
make for the health of the body

exercise, and manly work; 1t will
make for the health Of them in
sanity, alertness and reliability; 1t will
make for the health of the spirit-hab-
its of social justice and expressions OF

rect it's youth into paths Of industrial

ter the health Of children in providing
baths, gymnasiums, swimming pools
and Fairgrounds. They will elect or

of tomorrow do everything toward
making sound and vigorous health q

fer every provision for the cultivation
build up that great source Of power
the emotional life. I would even &c
so far as to have it make each moment
of its life an end in itself. to be made
beautiful, and glorious in and for itself
and not merely jumping off place for
another and higher school.
I'm short, I would look squarely al
life itself and see what the day after
tomorrow requires of its citizens-to-
be, and l would center my energy and
his energy upon the mastery OF these
things-health, character, interest In
and capacity for service, annreciatton
of the beautiful and true, and such de-
tails of theories, facts and past ac-
complishments as will make possible
the development Of human efficiency
Herein is marked out the most no.
ticeable trend in the educational de-
velopment of the present. Many OF
the old, dry-as-dust features-things
irrelevant to life and living-still
cling to the nresent system, but they
are giving way before increasing
knowledge and increasing enlighten-
ment.
Prof. Dean is dreamer, of course
but he Is a practical dreamer, and his
dream will no doubt be realized for
the most part If not in full. The trend
of school work seems to be in the d.
rection that he has pointed out.

There was very little to indicate
yesterday as salesday, except the cal
endar. People knew it was the first
Monday in April, and by the same
sign they knew it was salesday.
There were very few people in town.
BY reason of the fact that the day was
pleasant overhead, and the ground is
in good plowing condition, the horse
traders knew that the farmers would
he busy and they were not on hand.
There was fairly good business
among the merchants, just as on other
ordinary days; but little or nothing
on account of salesday.

100 words. 1t prohibits any member
from having before the house at any
one time more than two motions to
discharge committees from the GUS
tody of bills. Under this rule the DEM
ocrats believe it can be made to work

new rule affecting appropriation bills
is a renewal of the so-cal'"d Holman

1895. 1t permits amendments to ap-
preparations of wide character when
