MEMORIAL TO DIR. KNAPP.

A sixty day campaign has been in
augurated to secure funds for suita-
BILE memorial to that great friend or
southern farmers, DR.. Seaman A.
Knapp, organizer and director of the
Farmers Cooperative Demonstration
Work of the United States department
of agriculture.
No other man In the history OF the
south probably ever did as much as
DR.. Knapp to interest farmers in better
methods of farming and diversification
of crops and to get them out OF their
slavery to cotton. The demonstration
work and the corn club work, develop
ed under his fostering care, for the
first time brought our people to see
that the south Is itself in the corn belt,
and that there Is no reason In nature
why our farmers should be dependent
upon a single crop.
The ENQUIRER will receive and ac-
knowledge any subscriptions that may
be made to this fund, and will give
to each contributor a handsomely en-
graved picture Of DR.. Knapp.
Contributions will be received In any
amount from 10 cents up, and as they
are received by The Enquirer, they
will be forwarded to Mr.. Clarence H.
Poe, secretary of the Seaman A. Knapp
Memorial committee.
Every farmer In the county should
give something to perpetuate the MEM
DRY of this great man.

Among the many messages that
Governor Blease has so far sent to the
general assembly was one last Friday
on the subject of the penitentiary. III
this message the governor compliance
that the prisoners were not looked al
ter as they should be; that they were
made to work harder than was hu-
name. they were cruelty beaten, and
they were subjected to conditions that
made them liable TO tuberculosis. He
said that while there are many crlml-
rails in the penitentiary there are also
many innocent men who have been
convicted by means of perjured testi-
mony: but whether the prisoners are
guilty or innocent they are human and
are entitled to humane treatment. he
asserted that every time a convict is
beaten by a penitentiary or chaingang
guard, the constitutions of the state
and United States are violated, be-
cause both guarantee the citizen
against ,rporal punishment. He
complained at the labor conditions IN
the hosiery mill and suggested that the
convicts employed there could be en-
ployed to better advantage on the work
now heing done in connection with the
new asylum buildings. He said that
he had appealed to the legislature the
courts, the medical authorities and
again to the legislature, and made II
plain that if the general assembly does
not take action he will take final and
effective action himself.

SUN VAT SEN, CHRISTIAN.
Story of the Man Who Has Wrought
Revolution in China.

"Dr. Sun Vat Sen, the Christian,
Just chosen as president OF the new
republic Of China, is the most remark
able character today in all the world,
and the movement in China to free
dom Is the most remarkable the earth
has ever known since the days Of the
apostles" said DR.. Len G. Rroughton.
while in England l was given OPP
portunity to learn the history Of DIR.
Sun Vat Sen, and this fact stands out
most interestingly: That back in the
nineties, while working with heart
and soul to stir up the revolution, he
was kidnapped in London. at the In
stance Of the Chinese legation.
For a number Of days he disap-
peared as II the earth had swallowed
him up. Nothing was heard Of him.
One day, just as the Chinese govern
ment agents were getting ready to
send him back to China, so as to OBJ
tain the $4,000 reward the govern
ment had offered for his head, the
miraculous happened.
"a servant entered the room where
he was confined to obtain a coal scut-
tie that contained waste paper. DR..
Sun Yat Sen had dropped a note into
the coal scuttle addressed to the pub
lie, telling Of his capture. confinement
and the purposes Of his captors. He
was possessed with the desperate hope
that some one might find the note.
And when the servant emptied the
waste from the coal scuttle the wind
blew the note across the street
"A passerby picked 1t up and read
It, Scotland Yard was notified. and in
a few minutes had Investigated, found
DR.. Sun Vat Sen and released him.
AFTER that DR.. Sun Yat Sen came
to America in the interest OF the rev.
olutionary movement, to which he has
devoted his life; in fact, he went back
and forth working toward II. Ny clos
est friends in England are intimately
acquainted with him, his mission and
omplishments. I learned much
about him from them. He was edu-
Gated In London, and obtained his
medical degree from the University OF
London.
"He has had the fullest sympathy
of the people Of England in his move
ment, and commanded immense sums
Of money from them for the propaga-
tion Of his movement.
For a great old pagan nation OF
over 400. 100000 persons, sleeping for
centuries in darkness, to suddenly
awake to freedom under Christian
leader, Is the most remarkable event
since the apostles
DR.. Rroughton, while abroad re-
Gently, secured the story Of this re-
markable young Chinaman, being
made acquainted with the story Of his
life at Oxford university, where DR..
Sun Vat Sen was educated. and also
In homes Of prominent Englishmen.
where this young statesman and revo-
lutionist had been entertained. In
speaking of the matter, DR.. Broughton
said:
"I regard the story Of this young
Chinaman as one Of the most wonder
full in all the world. It Is calculated
to arouse the men Of this country to
the present day opportunities as no
story of modern times"

THE MISSING BONDS.

Treasurer Neil Is now satisfied that
| he knows what became of the $4,000
York township bonds, Of which sight
seems to have been lost and that there
are really outstanding only $4,000 OF
the bonds, instead of 100000 as was
generally supposed.
These bonds were provided for in an
agreement entered into In 1892. be-
tween r, B. Brigham of Boston, and
the county commissioners of York
county, the purpose of the agreement
being to cover certain past due cou-
pons which had passed out of Brig
hams hands and which he was unable
to deliver at the time of the compro-
mise. The gist Of this agreement was
as follows
Second: And the said R. B. Brig
ham agrees, that he will upon the ex-
ecution of this agreement, surrender TO
the township the coupons of the said
bonds which matured on the first day
OF January, 1889, amounting In the ag-
gregate to one thousand two hundred
and seventy-three 62-100 dollars, and
also the coupons of said bonds, which
matured on the 1st day of JAM, 1890,
amounting in the aggregate to thirty
five hundred dollars. And in case the
said R. B. Brigham Is unable to deliver
the said coupons as above specified, to
the said township, at the time Of the
execution of this agreement, then and
in that case he. the said r. B. Brigham
then and there shall deliver unto Sam
uel Lord, attorney at law In Charles
ton, in the said state. bonds Of the
said township, of the par value Of
$4,773, to be held by the said Samuel
Lord to indemnify the said township
against any loss or damage 1t may sus-
tain by reason Of the failure of the
said r. B. Brigham to deliver the said

The Rock Hill Plan.

There is absolutely nothing the mat
ter with what has come to be known
as the Rock Hill plan," in theory.
II the cotton acreage Is materially
reduced there will have to be de-
crease in the amount Of cotton pro-
duced, and the price of the staple will
have to go up.
Experience has shown that the cot
ton producer comes in for his own
only when there is such scarcity OF
cotton that the spinners have to fight
each other for supplies.
The crop of two years ago was
hardly sufficient to supply the demand
and prices were due to be very high,
but they did not go as high as they
should have gone for the reason that
the spinners curtailed operations, and
the wholesale dealers used every
means in their power to keep manu-
factured goods from getting beyond
their control.
One of the very first developments
of the tremendous crop Of the last
wear was an effort on the part of the
spinners to depress prices as much as
possible. The spinners have been
working on the pretty we'll established
principle that If it is certain there Is
going to be a surplus only of mil
lion or two bales that surplus can be
used to fix the price of the whole crop
This principle has had a greater IN
fluence than any other one thing IN
|depressing the price of cotton from 10
to cents.
The victory of the spinners is not
as real as it appears to have peen'
While the general curtailment has had
the effect of depressing the price OF
cotton. it has also had the effect OF
increasing the demand for manufac-
tured goods The old stocks were
largely exhausted during the curtali-
ment process, and now the demand Is
coming in with redoubled force.
The sensible thing for the farmers to
do, however, Is to take lesson from
the spinners, and just as the spinners
curtailed, let the farmers curtail. That
is what the Rock Hill plan proposes.
But there is one great danger in this
Icurtailment talk. When the Southern
Cotton association inaugurated sim
liar movement in 1905 and 1906, and
secured so many curtailment pledges
many signers of those pledges after
ward figured that if the acreage was
to be reduced it would be a good time
to make a strike by increasing their
own crops, and they governed them
selves accordingly.
Acreage reduction is all right. No
one can argue anything against the
soundness of the proposition, and
neither should any one hesitate to sign
a reduction agreement or to live up to
such an agreement. But If the thing
is to be effective every man who goes
into it must be faithful to himself and
to his fellow cotton producers. Moth
ing can be gained by bad faith.

l:45 the association adjourned for a
business session in the afternoon. The
business session was called to order
by the president at o'clock, in the
office of the county superintendent Of
education, Mr.. Quinn. The minutes
of the December meeting were read
and approved. On motion, the sec
retary was instructed to reimburse
Dr. Wardlaw his expenses on the trip
to Yorkville. In an informal way. the
association discussed the meeting for
the month Of March. The invitation
Of Fort Mill was accepted as the place
Of meeting, and March 16 was fixed

were selected as the subjects for con-
sideration, and Prof. A. G. Rembert,

Gunter were requested to formulate a
programme in detail. The meeting
then considered the York county field

AS TO whether the general assembly
is going to get it's many causes OF
quarrel with Mr.. Blease out of the way
in time to tackle the cotton question
or as to whether it would care to tackle
the cotton question. even if had moth
ing else to occupy its attention, we
cannot say; but we would certainly he

subject.
We do not belong to the element that
believes it is possible to legislate ev-

to say just what would he the best

but we feel quite sure much good could
be accomplished by a careful and thor

1.-THE KING OF THE NORTH"
Or. Mack Sees In Events Of the Day
Fulfillment of Scriptures.

The Rev. DR.. ]. B. Mack of Fort
Mill, S. c., a reader of the Daily Mail,
sends the following interesting COM
munication extending broadly and
pointedly some ideas hitherto feebly
approached by the editor Of the Daily
Mail:
Some Of US believe that the Bible
Is the word of God, and hence that Its
prophecies will be fulfilled. To such
the recent events in the east are In
tensely interesting.
Daniel speaks of the king Of the
North" who will overrun Syria and
take possession Of Palestine, and ex-
positors are agreed that this refers
to Russia. the Colossus Of the North y
Ezekiel speaks Of '"The Prince OF
Rosh," or Russia. as the one VINO VIII
come like a storm upon Palestine and
his immense armies, like a cloud will
cover the land"
OF whom will these armies be COM
posed? OF Persia, or Cush, or the
tribes Of Arabia-or Phut, or northern
Africa, or Conner, or the Monaghan
people, Of the hordes Of Togarman, or
Turkestan, and "of many peoples
whose names are not given.
During the past few months Russia
has steadily been appropriating Per-
sia. Within the past few weeks she
has begun to foreclose her mortgage
on Mongolia and Turkestan. For two
years the Arab tribes have been In
rebellion, no doubt, instigated thereto
by Russia. The Moslems Of north Al
frica are incensed against France and
Germany and Spain and Italy, and are
turning their eyes to Russia as their
protector.
Jesus Christ said to His disciples:
when the fig tree putteth forth Its
leaves, We know that the summer Is
Nigh" So. when you see Russia, In
few months, appropriating Persia,
Mongolia and Turkestan-which are
about as large as the United States,
west of the Mississippi to the Pacific
ocean-we can know that the advance
Of the king of the North" upon
Jerusalem Is highland that the final
struggle between the Slav and the
Saxon Is about to begin.
This struggle will be almost world
wide in its extent. and will seal the
doom of that accursed nation, which:
like Haman, desires the destruction OF
the Jews. Perhaps, our abrogation OF
the treaty with Russia is the first step
in our taking part in that war, which
will change the map Of the earth.'-
