LOOKS BETTER.

Mr.. j. r. Crawford, Of McConnells.
vile, who is president Of the Cream
cry association, and who has beer
standing by that enterprise through
thick and thin, was in Yorkville yes
terday, and expressed himself as more
encouraged in the outlook than he has
been since the stockholders We're &c
badly Jared last summer.
Il did not know much about the
creamery then" said Mr.. Crawford
and did not pretend to. | could only
depend upon what l was told and
like others, l found that things were
not exactly as they seemed.
"Of course, do not claim any cred
it, because do not feel that am en-.
titled to any; but things are looking
a lot better now, and the farmers who
go into the business of supplying
butter fat are going to be pleased
with the result in the long run unless
am badly mistaken
Mr.. Crawford Is now milking sew.
enteen cows, good, bad and in0iffer.
ent, and sending their milk to the
creamery at the rate of 500 or Loco
pounds a month. Some Of his bes'
cows are to come in shortly, and by
next spring he hopes to be sending
to the creamery twice as much cream
as now. 90!
AS a matter Of fact. Mr.. Crawford's
position in the creamery matter has
been a little peculiar. He had beer
a large feeder of beef cattle for sew
eral years, and he had quite a number
Of common beef COWS on hand when
the creamery started. He commenced
milking the best mixers among these
and has since been adding dairy COWS
from time to time. 1t Is his purpose
to stick until he has built up & h-st-
class dairy herd.
AS people who know him are aware
1t is pretty hard to make Mr.. Craw-
ford talk, and what Is quoted above
had to be pulled out of him; but as
the result of the conversation, it is
fair to say that his views are about
like this: Il am not exactly a dairy
man. My inclination runs more In
the direction of other farm operations
and ! do not feel that l can give my
personal attention to dairying But
am doing the best I can, with the
best help I can get. My idea is to de-
velop a good herd, want to make the
yield Of butter fat pay all expenses
If possible, and In time ] believe this
can be done. But that is not the whole
point with me. ] came out very well
feeding beef cattle principally for the
manure, and ! am inclined to think
that If there was any profit at all In
that. by the development OF a good
dairy herd the profit ought to he dou-
bled"

We desire to offer just a few sug-
gestions In connection with the coop
erative demonstration work of the
dairy division of the department of
agriculture. The department has put
at the disposal of the people of this
locality experts to hire whom would
cost a lot of money. The service OF
these men are free of cost. Because
however, their services are free does
not mean that they are without value
On the contrary they are very valua-
ble-more valuable than most people
are able to realize. For dairymen to
avail themselves of the services OF
these men does not involve any ex-
pense that will not be fully warranted
by results. If our own people do not
get in on the ground floor. others WILL
and after while this free service will
no longer be available. The proper
thing is to snap up this offer OF the ag-
ricultural department quick and make
the most of it.

The racing association was run
out of Jacksonville because of its gen.
orally demoralizing effect on the peo-
pie of the city Many young men,
and old ones, too, went short with
their employers and their business,
all on account Of the races. and 1t was
a common thing to see posted in Of

ANY employee found betting on the

Columbia, November IS: While
en- route to Parksvlle Friday, Com
missioner Watson was intercepted
with an urgent telegraphic request to
proceed Immediately to New York city
to attend. i'm his capacity as president
of the Southern Ccotton congress, an
important conference to be held in
that city at 10 o'clock Monday morn
ing, relative to the development of the
plan for maintaining the price of this
years cotton crop and raising 1t, If
possible. Mr.. Watson hastened back
to Columbia, spending a portion of
yesterday at his office, cancelled his
engagements to address the cotton
meeting IN Abbeville Monday, and
leaves early tomorrow morning for
New York. In referring to the call
wired to him. Mr.. Watson simply said
that representatives Of the Governors
Cotton convention, held In New Or
leans, on Monday would meet certain
strong bankers to discuss a plan of
action which had been approved by
Mr.. Harding, president Of the Ma
tional Bank of Birmingham, Ala, and
others OF the committee from the
Southern Cotton congress, which plan,
in it's tentative shape, also had the
support of Mr. Barrett, president of
the National Farmers union. Mr.. Will
son was wired yesterday that Gov
ernor O'Neal, Of Alabama, and other
leading members Of the committees
were already in New York. Mr.. Wat
son said the proposed conference was
one of vital concern to the cotton pro-
ducers, and as his presence was de-
manded by the parties of the gather
ing. he was putting aside everything
else for the moment. He declined to
say anything in regard to the plan to
be discussed. other than to say that
he hoped that it would be productive
of substantial results, and if 1t held
out prospects, he would do all in his
power to see 1t made effective. Mr..
Watson said that great deal Of quiet
hard work had been done by the COM
mittee of the congress during the past
six weeks, and for a fortnight the
downward trend Of prices had been
held in check; that Wall street was
finding an influence at work which
has thus far defeated the confident
hopes of a quick drop to cents cot
ton, on dOctOrcd reports of an enor-
NOUS crop or upon such silly rumors
as that the cZar of Russia had been
and that really the fight
for Justice To the producer and for
methods of marketing
cotton had but just begun.

Adjutant General Moore Is quoted as
saying that it is his purpose to sug-
gest to the general assembly that the
office of adjutant general be taken out
of politics through such changes as
will be necessary to make the office an
-appointive one. This will be good
idea. AS a matter Of fact there Is
more or less doubt as to whether un-
der existing conditions the maintain
ance of a state militia is worth while
anyhow; but if the militia is to be
maintained, it should be maintained
under a system that will make the
people generally take more interest in
il. The politics of the militia has
heretofore been of very small kind
confined almost entirely to the mill
tia, and this is unsatisfactory. The
thing should be so arranged that the
people who are responsible and who
have to pay the bills and bear the ills,
should have matters in shape where
somebody would be compelled to take
more notice.

Ono thing that helps Rock HILL to
grow is the fact that quarterly the
town council publishes an itemized
statement Of disbursements, showing
exactly. to whom the city's money has
been paid, in what amount and what
for. This policy creates confidence in
the city government, and leaves no
chance for successful kicking, except
where successful kicking Is right.
Twenty years ago the total expendi-
lures of the town of Yorkville amount
ed to only about $4,000; since then
they have increased about six times.

taking The Enquirer for this reason.
It is a generally admitted fact that
there is more general information
among the country residents of York
county than among the country resi-
dents of any other county in the state.
Widely travelled men of observation
and experience say: they have never
run upon a better informed rural pop
ulation anywhere. This condition OF
affairs is largely due to the fact that
the people of York county have long
had the advantage of a county news
paper that is as good as the best.

Or Senior Limantour, the capitalist
and financial wizard? Or Don Fran
cisco Madero, the martyr and outlaw
leader of Coahulia?
All but this last man are out and
out government men who, strictly
speaking, have but one party behind
them; the party of established order.
Madero alone is the leader Of the OPP
position. the party of disappointment,
of revolt, and professed reform. The
former malcontents of Northern Mex
leo, having been cheated of their
hopes in Bernardo Reyes have now
fixed their allegiance on Madero.
After Madero, last summer, show
ed that he had the stuff In him to
run against Diaz as presidential
candidate and go to prison and into
temporary evile for his ambitious, it
was enough for him to recross the
border with arms in his hands to be
received by his friends and old poems
as their chosen leader.
