WITHIN THE TOWN

Chief Of Police Love has purchased
DR.. M. w. Whites cottage on Lincoln
street.
The annual flower show Of the
Floral society Of the Presbyterian
church Is to be held about November
J.. The date will, Of course, depend
upon the weather.
Football between Yorkville and
Winnsboro High school teams this af-
ternoon. The game promises to be an
interesting one.
The Southern railroad has inaugu-
rated a round trip rate of 1885 from
Yorkville on the occasion of the state
fair, good from October 26 to Novem-
Der 3.
-"Noxon's Progressive American
Shows" which have been exhibiting in
the Smith lot during the week have
been well patronized and have been
given quite general satisfaction. The
shows leave tomorrow night, or Sun
day. The management states that en-
gagements have been made to play in
Rock Hill and Lancaster.
There Is a lot Of local interest in
the worlds championship series be-
tween the New York Giants and the
Boston Red Socks: Local baseball en-
thusiasts are getting telegraphic re-
ports Of the games each afternoon.
The Red Socks won Tuesdays game by
a score Of 4 to 8. Wednesdays game
was tie, and 6, and had to be called
on account of darkness. On yesterday
the score was to in favor of New
York.
There was another meeting Of citi-
zens last night for the purpose Of dis
cussing the courthouse bond question
and considering ways and means to
place the matter intelligently before
the voters. The concensus Of opinion
seemed to be that there would be very
little opposition on the part Of the
people to the bonds If the people prop
erly understood the matter, and 1t was
resolved to put forth every effort, per-
sonal and otherwise, to show them.
There were reports to the effect that
quite a number of people who had ex-
pressed themselves as opposed to the
proposition when it first came up, had
changed their minds in the light Of a
more comprehensive understanding of
the real necessity for the proposed i'm
provement AS the result Of the meet
ing it Is expected that the work Of in
forming the people will be pushed with
still greater energy and enthusiasm.

these clubs will be encouraged by COM
petitive means and thorough appreci-
alton Of the various substantial re-
wards in sight to excel in the different
levies.
There is little money available
from the department Of agriculture for
the payment Of county agents; but not
nearly enough. The department funds
must be supplemented by local funds,
raised by private subscription or other
wise. And 1t Is hoped and believed
that within a short time there can be
made a showing that will justify the
cost.
It Is a we'll known fact that this
county, for instance, wastes as much
fruits and vegetables as 1t consumes.
The waste Is largely because the people
do not understand the very simple
processes necessary to convert the sur
plus into a commercial commodity.
Some may know how to can and pre-
serve as good as anybody without
knowing how to reach a profitable
market. Along with the teaching Of
canning and preserving the clubs will
also teach marketing.
That there Is something practical
and very valuable behind the idea that
Miss Parrott is representing is very
clear. Anybody can see it.; but how to
get the work under way Is the ques-
ton. 1t is only a matter Of financial
support.

MAYOR AND POLICEMAN

There has been quite a sensation in
Chester this week as the result Of de-
velopments that seem to have grown
out of the activities of the municipal
authorities in their efforts to put down
the liquor business in that town. Just
what there may be behind it all does
not fully appear, but the surface indi-
cations seem to suggest more or less
awkward complications. The Chester
Chester Lantern of Wednesday printed
the following letter from Mayor Wise
to Chief of Police Sanders:
Dear Sir:-Yesterday afternoon l
obtained from Mr.. J. c. Mcclure, city
attorney, a list of the juries you drew
from the city jury box for the trial Of
the three cases today. The jury box
contains the names of the jurors for
the city court the names Of which ju:
rors you selected not long ago. I find

BOOSTING BULL MOOSE.

Mr.. I. H. Norris, of Yorkville and
Chester, formerly Republican, but
now a member Of the Bull Moose, or
Progressive party, has an advertise
ment in The Enquirer today which
seeks to uncover and disclose all the
Bull Moose that might be herding with
the Democrats of this locality.
Mr.. Norris was in The Enquirer Office
yesterday and talked of the Bull Moose
movement in this state. Speaking of
the recent convention in Columbia, he
said that while the attendance was not
large, those present were enthusiastic
and earnest in their loyalty to the new
movement. The idea that there is lot
Of money to be spent, he said is incor-
rect. Mr.. Dunn, the provisional state
chairman, announced in Columbia that
the national headquarters would not
be asked for a cent Of money, and this
state would have no funds except such
as might be raised locally.
AS to his own plans as district chair
man, Mr.. Norris had very little to say.
He did not seem to think that there
was much to be said. The most that
can be done, as he sees it, is to try to
get the Bull Moose tickets distributed
at the various precincts throughout
the district, and with little or no or
ganization in the counties, even that
promises to be an uphill business.
Mr.. Norris was desirous Of having 1t
distinctly understood that the Bull
Moose party is a white mans party,
and the negro voter will not be well
come.

APPEAL FOR FUNDS.
Chairman Gonzales Wants People to
Come Down With Cash.

Columbia, Oct. 9.-The following
self-explanatory statement was issued
today:
To the Democrats Of South Carolina:
The chairman Of the finance COM
mittee for South Carolina for the ma
tional Democratic comrnittee today re-
ceived the following telegram from
Henry Morgenthau, chairman Of the
general finance committee Of the DEM
ocratic national committee:
National Democratic committee must
have funds this week. Send us for your
state by Saturday or Monday at least
$4,000. Communicate with your finance
committee and other prominent Demo-
Gratis, and see, II possible, that your col
lections equal this amount. The stu
alton is urgent and we depend upon
YOU"
Owing to the fine contribution Of
$1,000 received today from Charleston
county through Henry M. Connor, 1t is
possible to comply with Mr.. Morgen-
thau's call. But what will be the con-
dition next week and the week follow
ing when the needs Of the national
committee will be at least as great and
when there will not be a Charleston
mine to be worked
That question may be answered sat

not begun to give financial support to
the Democratic cause. When the chill
dren of q graded school in Greenwood
have given more to Democracy than Is
represented by the combined contribu-
tions from three counties with 5000
Democratic voters; when not one Of
twenty-one counties has contributed as
much as 800; when little Dorchester
has given more than Greenville and
Cherokee combired, and as much as
Spartanburg, II is readily seen that
there is room for tremendous additions
to the fund without placing strain
upon either financial capacity or party
spirit.
Hundreds Of prominent Democrats
have been communicated with PERSONAL
ly; some have responded, many have
not. Time is now very limited and the
situation, as described by Chairman
Morgepthau, Is here given to the pub
lie for such action as it may inspire.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER II, 1912.

II was generally understood that after
the lines in this city were in operation
this Seaboard connection would be the
next thing taken up by the promoters
1t Is a project which will have the
hearty support Of the business men Of
Rock Hill, who have long felt the
need Of competition in transportation
lines. 1t is, Of course, likely that this
is but the first step In the building Of
an extensive system of interurban
lines in this immediate section. No
one here doubts that Charlotte will
be linked with this city. by the inter-
urban and from here on to Great
Falls. where the real hackers Of the
interurban have interests amounting
to millions Of dollars. There are many
here who fear connection with Char
lotte, but 1t will inevitably come, for
1t has for long time been apparent
that the Duke interests feel the need
OF an easy outlet from Great Falls.
The contemplated extension of the
interurban will stretch through a very
rich and popuious section.

tial candidates is going to win on No

Woodrow Wilson is max
ing good campaign, and all the DEM
ocratic papers are predicting his cleo
tion. His chances certainly look
bright to us. But many Of the Repub-
lican papers hold out for Taft with
plenty Of assurance, and both Demo-
cratic and Republican papers seem to
be agreed that Roosevelt Is the second
strongest man. Some of the Republi-
can papers put Roosevelt so far behind
as to leave no possible chance Of his
ever getting anywhere; but the Demo-
cratic papers seem to be unanimous in
the opinion that Roosevelt is the man
that Wilson has to beat. The best that
can be said about the whole situation
is that it is very uncertain, and cleo
tion day this year Will furnish about
as many surprises as it did four years
ago.

Don't forget the date Of the second
primary for attorney general. The can
didates are Lyon and Peoples.
The second primary for attorney
general Is to be held next Tuesday,
October Is. There should be big out
turn Of the voters.
Comptroller General Jones made his
annual settlement with York county
officials last week and found every
thing in fine shape.
Reports from different quarters in
dicate that there Is a good crop Of par
tridges coming on this year. The past
season seems to have been very favor
able and the birds, many Of them only
about half grown, are quite plentiful.
The fact that there has been no brag.
ging this year on the amount Of cotton
picked by individual pickers in a day,
is a pretty good indication that the
crop Is lighter than usual, according to
an observation of large farmer who
takes notice Of such things.
People who are duly registered and
who desire to vote in the general elec-
tion; but who may have lost their 1911
receipts, are again reminded that they
can get duplicates Of these receipts by
calling upon the county treasurer; but
they must attend to the matter without
delay. The treasurer leaves on the
18th instant to begin his round of col
lecting taxes.
On being asked Wednesday about
his crops, a well-known farmer Of the
Broad River section said: "Our cot
ton Is turning out splendidly-much
better than I had any idea of a month
ago. We did not get much Of July
crop, but the August crop Is heavy
and the yield Is good" Farmers from
the neighborhood Of Bethany, say their
crops are much lighter than they had
expected, and they are agreed that the
corn Is not going to be very good.
Our attention has been called to the
fact that Mr.. John r. Hart was quoted
incorrectly in the recent statement to
the effect that the taxes Of not more
than a hundred men in the county
would be increased over one dollar on
account Of half mill levy. Mr.. Hart
mentioned several townships in neith-
er Of which he had been able to find
the names Of more than a dozen men
whose taxes would be increased over
81; but he did not undertake to say
how many there were in the county.
The misquotation was the result Of an
unintentional error Of the reporter.

In Need of Money.-The Democratic
national committee calls attention to
a recent statement issued by Henry
Morgenthau, chairman Of the general
finance committee. This statement
shows that so far the comparatively
small amount Of $29S,750 has been
contributed to the Democratic cam
paign fund. 1t states, also, that an
additional $750,000 will be required
to pay the legitimate expenses to close
the campaign.
This statement would indicate that
the Democratic party Is troubled with
peculiar disease-that Of over-con-
fidence.
There is a kind Of general feeling
that the party is going to win any
way. and that therefore there Is no
need of a campaign fund.
SO far, according to Mr.. Morgen-
thau's statement. 17,116 individuals
have contributed to the campaign
fund. The national committee is am
bilious to increase this number to
100000.

London, October 10: Montenegro
claims the first victory in the Balkan
war by the capture Of the strong Turk
ish position on Detechitch Mountain,
whose commander surrendered today
with the bulk Of his forces. Montene-
grins also crossed the frontier near
Berana and according to the Turkish
account have been repulsed. The situ-
alton meanwhile Is as puZZling as be-
fore. No declaration Of war has been
issued by the other allied Balkan states
and there Is no news yet OF their min
listers having left Constanttnople. 1t
cannot be definitely said whether Mon
tenegro has acted Independently with
the motive Of forcing a conflict so as to
render efforts Of the powers to preserve
peace nugatory or In accordance with
strategic plan arranged by the Balkan
coalition. The powers today presented
a collective note inviting Turkey to dis
cuss a scheme for reforms in Macedo-
mia. It appears however as though
while diplomacy is trying to arrange
the matters peacefully, guns will de-
eide it for them. Fresh Bulgarian at
tacks on Turkish frontier towns are
reported tonight and the opinion Is
growing that the opposing parties are
only using diplomatic delays to con-
centrate their forces in readiness 1or
the inevitable outbreak. The state
ment of the Austro- Hungarian Foreign
Minister, Count Won Berchthold, in the
Hungarian delegation today that Aus
tria is prepared to guard her interests
in the Balkans at all hazards, has
caused a sensation in European capi-
tails as an indication that the powers
may be unable to confine themselves
to the policy of merely holding the
ropes. The Frankfurter Zeitung pub
fishes a sensational report that Greece
will withdraw from the Balkan agree
ment and demobilize but this Is hard
ly credited here. Both Greece and
Turkey are trying to purchase the
Chinese cruiser Chao Ho recently
built at Newcastle. The mobilization
Of the Bulgarian army Is complete.
Five Russian aviators arrived today to
operate with the Bulgarian forces. ac-
cording to a news agency dispatch
from Sofia.

Jerry Moore's LaureIs.-Jerry Moore

Jerry Moore's LaureIs.-Jerry Moore,
Of Winona, must indeed look to his
laurels Pretensions to his title Of
champion corn grower Of the south
were made last week by young Mis-
sissippian, Barney Thomas Of DeSoto
county, through Leslie's Weekly; and
The State took pleasure in pointing
out that young Thomas had coaxed
from his prize acre only 225 bushels,
whereas Jerry's crop had measured
22S ga bushels. But now comes the
Montgomery Advertiser with the state
ment that an Alabama boy, Benny
Owens Of Elmore county, grew this
year 237 ga bushels Of corn on one
acre Of land" South Carolina would
retain the honor Of having produced
the largest corn yield upon a prize
acre, whether or not the claim now
made in behalf Of the Alabama lad
should be successfully maintained, be-
cause Captain Drake of Marlboro har-
vested 255 bushels Of corn from a sin
gle acre Of his plantation more than
quarter century ago; but we are
concerned for the fame Of Jerry
Moore and shall feel a certain solicit
tude until we learn that his 1912 crop
excels that Of any Of his rivals In the
boys corn club competition. Mean
time we lay the pleasing JUNCTION to
our souls that The Advertiser does
not report the alleged achievement or
Benny Owens to have been officially
certified.-Columbia State.

ing to anything in this state" said
Governor Blease this morning. "If they
try to send any speakers here or make
any efforts towards making inroads
they will make themselves the laugh
ing stock Of the nation" The govern
or silenced those who have been trying
to create the impression that he was
against the Democratic ticket in these
words: II have been so busy since
the campaign that have not been able
to get away and take a much needed
rest; however, am preparing an ad-
dress to the voters calling upon them
to rally to the support Of woodrow
Wilson, which hope to be able to hand
to the press this week. ! am not re-
sponsible for what other people write
and say; when I want to write and
say anything do 1t myself as the peo-
pie well know" concluded the govern
or.
Governor Blease left this afternoon
for Charleston where he will tomor-
row and tomorrow night be the guest
Of the Blease County Charleston club
and his friends there. A banquet and
dance will be given In honor OF the
governor while there and he will make
a public address. He will return to
Columbia early Saturday morning.
