Manila, P. I.-When the ship Poisat

jumped clear of the wreck. After an
hours swimming he found a hatch
cover on which he rested. Then he
started toward San Nicholas, pushing
the hatch cover ahead Of him. He
was nearly successful and was just
reaching shallow water when the tide
carried him out to sea again. AS night
came the wind increased and the
waves tossed him and his hatch cover
back and forth until he thought It
would be impossible for him to hold
his support, but toward midnight he
found that he was being washed to-
ward the CaVite shore. Just as his
hope was strong the tide wind car
ried him to sea again. He struggled
against them, but was swept out

The water was cold, the night dark

Bass Killing Off Salmon

served. The hatcheries he conducts
are of great importance to the indus
try They were started because 1t
was discovered that the trout played
havoc with the young salmon. In big
ponds the fry are hatched and millions
of salmon are guarded until they are
ficient to permit them to escape the
trout. This plan has proved effective
for years.
I'VE can rear the salmon large
enough to get away from the trout, y
says Mr.. Crawford, but not the bass.
When you think that bass can eat a
salmon four inches long or even
larger you can see how utterly imp0s-
sible it is to keep the fish in the
ponds until they are Of sufficient size
to care for themselves against the
new enemy without going to huge ex-
pense We raise them until they are
three inches long and then turn them
into the Kalama river, from which
they make their way down to the Co
lumbia. We have found that the bass
are lying in wait for them and COB
bling them as they appear"
He advocates the prohibition by law
under heavy penalties Of any further
planting of bass in the waters Of the
state, an open season for this fish all
the year round and strinTent meas
ures to destroy them. Unless some
thing is done he thinks it will be only
few years before the salmon indus
try will be seriously crippled. He
would also bar pickerel, pike and
perch.

INDIAN CARVINGS ON A TREE
Missouri Woodmen Make Peculiar
Discoveries in FEELING an old Oak
Work of Chickasaws.

Exeter, Mo.-While woodmen were
cutting timber on Indian creek the
other day large oak tree was felled
that proved to be historic as well as
an old Indian landmark. A picture
OF an Indian with bow and arrow
pointing at running deer was carved
in the bark of the tree near the
ground, while higher up were pic
lures of the rising sun with an In
dian kneeling. flying eagle, a turtle
lying on its back and picture of a
snake.
More than dozen arrows were en-
bedded in the tree, where they had
been shot many years ago. From tho
character Of the carving it is thought
to be the work Of ChickasawB.

Boy Plays Spartan.

Cincinnati.-An example Of great
fortitude has been brought to the no.
tice of the Cincinnati police. When a
patrol wagon rushed to the scene of
an accident, the crew found boy Of
19, who gives the name of John Cron-
in, of indianapolis, sitting calmly
against a telegraph post, with both his
legs cut of. He had tried to board
freight train and had fallen beneath
the wheels. After the accident he
crawled to the pole and braced him
self against it. A passer-by noticed
him.
What's the matter?" asked the
stranger.
Nothing much" he answered;
lust lost both my feet-that's all"
Then the stranger called the police.

that he would ask her TO 90 out with
him to the theater or to some OF the

girls went.
But he did not do anything SO daz-

"Will you walk in the park with me

She consented, wondering II he were

money as the head-waiter who invited
her to go with him on Saturday night
to see a play at a nearby theater,
This was the kind of invitation she
craved. and she accepted gladly.

passed Billy Locke. He bowed, and
Virginia saw the astonishment in his
eyes. Serves him right for not TAX

she tossed her head, but all the even
ing his miserable face haunted her
The head-waiter proved to be poor
company. He was not in Virginia's
class and his conversation was limited.
Virginia, however, made another
engagement wlth' him for the follow

she went with Billy Locke to the park
she told him Of t.

said, because he hasn't anything

Il should think a man who cared
for a girl would want to give her

For a moment Billy was silent. Then

He spoke with vehemence that as

She hesitated. "Oh, I can't say wha

She thought 1t over and the visioI
of the little home among the lilac

What had he to offer her that coul'

HOMICIDE AT A DANCE.

Jack Stowe dead, Ed Walker lying
at the point of death, and Bob Allison
badly wounded and fugitive are some
of the results of big free fight on Mr..
Mart Hambright's place near Kings
Mountain battle-ground at an early
hour last Saturday morning. Several
other negroes were more or less seri-
ousiy wounded; but the casualties
mentioned probably include the most
striking results of the fight.
The trouble did not develop until the
dance had been in progress pretty
nearly all night, and then 1t started
between Bob Allison and Ed Walker,
being precipitated by Allison in a be-
lief that Walker had been rather too
attentive to his, Allison's, wife.
Eye WITH esses of the affair told the
story to tie coroner's jury in exciting
detail and from what they had to say
there Is no doubt that there were some
pretty lively doings in and around the
negro house in which the dance occur
red for space Of five or ten minutes;
but full story of the battle Is hardly
worth while.
AS soon as the issues were Joined be-
tween Allison and Walker, they went
after each other with pocket knives

each other frightfully. Presently AL
lison picked up a shot gun and fired
two shots in an effort to kill Walker,
but as the result Of the first shot one
innocent bystander was seriously pep
pered and as the result of the second
shot, another participant, Jack
Stowe was killed.
When the smoke Of the conflict be-
gan to clear away 1t was feared that
not only had Stowe been killed, but
Walker was so badly hurt as to be
unable to stand on his feet and one or
two other nom -combatants had been
slashed with knives or sprinkled with
shot. Allison considered the situation
until he became panicky at what might
happen on the arrival Of the authori-
ties, and then made his way across the
state line only a few hundred yards
away.
Sheriff Brown and Deputy Sheriff
Quinn spent a part Of Saturday and
Sunday at the scene Of the battle in
connection with the Investigations that
were being made by the coroner, and
Sheriff Brown did not get back home
until an early hour yesterday morning,
having put himself to considerable
pains in an unsuccessful effort to To-
cate the fleeing Allison.

REGISTERING CROP MORTGAGES.

The bill introduced by Representa-

istry of chattel mortgages Of crops and
to fix the fee, was referred to the judi
ciary committee which has submitted
majority and minority reports, the ma
jority report being unfavorable and the
minority report being favorable. The
text of the bill is as follows:
Section l. That 1t be a sufficient

mortgage in whole or in part covering
crop or crops without reference to the
amount thereof, to enter upon an index
book to be kept for that purpose by

names of mortgagor and mortgage,
the amount and character Of the debt
secured, and besides a brief descrip-
ton of the other chattel pledged, also
the year in which, and brief descrip-
ton of the lands on which such crops
are cultivated, the date of the maturing
of the debt and the date Of filing such
mortgage for record.
Sec. 2. That the register Of mesne
conveyances shall be entitled to charge
for the indexing and registering any
such mortgage a fee Of fifteen cents.
Sec. g. That all Acts and parts Of
Acts in conflict with this Act are

Dispatches from Chicago and else
where, seem to intimate that the era of
high prices for foodstuffs is at an end.
In a nutshell, the proposition is that
commission men have been putting
butter, eggs, chickens and other foods
in cold storage, and holding them off
the market in such systematic manner
as to enable the purchase of supplies
from producers at a lower price and
to sell to consumers at higher price.
At result the quantity Of stored stuff
has accumulated beyond any reason
able hope of demand, and the available
capital to keep up the game having
been exhausted, the great deal must
collapse with the result that consumers
will at last get their due. If the facts
are as stated, the result predicted is
inevitable. But the poor consumer!
Let us see how soon he realizes a con-
summation so devoutly TO be wished
for.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1911-01-17

From a careful reading of the testi-
mony given in the trial of John j.
Jones for the killing of Abe Pearlstine.
we have arrived at the conclusion that
the outcome was abstract justice about
as nearly as the same can be meas
ured. There is no good reason, it
seems to US, why the killing should
have occurred; but when we try to fix
the blame we are inclined TO lay about
as much of it on one of the parties as
on the other. II the two men had been
properly considerate of each other,
they could have probably adjusted
their differences without a fisticuff even,
and without the loss of any self res
pect. The tragedy and all its pitiable
consequences have been the result of
obstinacy on the part of both parties,
and that is about all there is to it.
The verdict of the jury is about right
and the sentence of the court is about
right. The general result, if allowed to
stand, will help the cause of law and
order in Orangeburg county and in the
state.

The Late l.. M. Grist.

Last Sunday was an anniversary
that the publishers of The Enquirer are
loath to allow to go by without some
mention-the anniversary of the death
of the late Capt. L. NJ. Grist, who
passed away on January Is, 1908, eight
years ago.
The life of Captain Grist was not
fiawless by any means, but living as
he did during most trying period IN
the history Of his country-in period
the duties and responsibilities of
which were Illuminated by few prece-
dents of value outside Of the eternal
principle that holds aloft Righteousness
and truth as the only safe guide, he
measured we'll up to the highest stand
ards that were attained by the best of
his fellows.
In his public career, Capt. Grist was
confronted by many problems that
were we'll calculated to try the boldest
heart-where to do right threatened
danger of bodily harm and financial
ruin-where his conception of the duty
of the hour brought him in direct an
tagonism to the plans of others who
were as honest and as patriotic as he;
but from which duty his conscience
would not allow him to deviate.
Captain Grist lived to have many
of the people who had honestly and
patriotically differed with him, tell him
that they were wrong and that he
was right. He lived to see his views
and conduct vindicated in things In
which he had followed the dictates Of
an honest conscience; but about the
correctness of which he could not be
absolutely sure until vindicated by
results.
That he made mistakes, there is no
doubt. He lived to see some of them
and to acknowledge them, thing he
was ever willing to do when convinced
that he was wrong, for the rule of his
life was not personal triumph or gain;
but rather the furtherance of the prin-
ciples of eternal right.
The present publishers Of The En-
uuirer have no hesitation in confessing
that consideration of the life of the
late Capt. Grist is a source of pride to
them; they believe in the principles
he sought to teach them, and they con-
tinue to try to uphold those principles,
to the best of their humble ability,
feeling at all time that if this paper re-
mains worthy of it's founder, 1t will
never be unworthy of the people for
whom it is published.
