WITHIN THE TOWN.

The bridge at the water works
branch was gotten in shape last Sat-
urday afternoon.
The rain interfered with the Wild
West show on Smiths lot last Satur-
day. There was no performance.
The patronage of the Star theatre
is increasing steadily and with the in
creased patronage, Mr.. Dorsett is i'm
proving the quality of the pictures.
The Yorkville High School military
company appeared on the streets last
Friday afternoon, and made showing
highly creditable to the splendid in
struction that 1t has been receiving
from Prof. Riddle.
The heaviest trade of the week Is
naturally on Saturday, and last Satur-
day would have been a real good trad
ing day, except for the weather. On
account Of the rain business was not
up to expectations.
Instead of tearing the Crawford
house down, the building committee of
the Associate Reformed church has
decided to roll 1t back about $50 or 200
feet, with a view to eventually using 1t
as a parsonage. Unless something
turns up to prevent the plan will be
carried out within the next few weeks.

When the Madero revolution broke
out Orozco, who is at the head Of the
present movement against Madero, was
the driver of a mule team hauling ores.
AS to the real cause Of Mexico's trou-
bles there is no telling. Various rea-
sons are assigned; but the situation is
not fully comprehended in this coun-
try. The most plausible explanation,
probably is that the masses Of the
Mexican people, so long in condition
of virtual slavery, are dissatisfied. One
Of the things that Madero promised was
a division of the large estates of Mex
co among the people on an equitable
basis. His soldiers continued loyal until
he came into power. and then because
Madero either forgot or was unable to
fulfill his promise as quickly as the
people thought it should be fulfilled,
they rebelled. OroZco is now claiming
to stand for the very things that Ma
dero claimed to stand for. AS to
whether, if successful, he will also be
seduced to the other side remains to be
seen. The probability, however, is that
such will be the case.

O CONTRACT LET.

The contract for the erection Of the
handsome new church building that
the Associate Reformed congregation
of Yorkville proposes to build on the
corner of Congress and Madison streets,
was let yesterday to Messrs. ]. ]. Kel-
Ter & Co., of Yorkville and Rock Hill
for the sum of $13.3OS. o.
There were several bids for the con-
tract from Atlanta, Spartanburg ana
Charlotte, and the bids ranged within
a few hundred dollars of each other;
but that Of Messrs. Keller & Co., was
slightly lower and the committee hav-
ing full knowledge Of and confidence In
the responsibility Of this firm, was glad
to accept its bid.
The understanding Is that the work
is to be commenced within the next
few weeks and Is to be pushed forward
as rapidly as possible. With no unfore-
seen hindrances the church building
should be completed by the early fall,
and the architect assures the commit
tee that when 1t Is completed 1t will be
a credit not only to the congregation;
but to the town Of Yorkville and the
entire county.

ONE OUTLAW CAPTURED.
Three Others Of Allen Gang Closely
Pressed.


The hunt for the Hillsville outlaws
who went to the mountains after shoot
ing up the court house, was rewarded
last Friday by the capture Of Sidna
Edwards, a nephew Of the elder Aliens.
Edwards was found alone in a desert
ed cabin, tired and hungry and he gave
up without resistance. He was taken
to Hillsville and from there to Roa-
noke. An Associated Press dispatch,
dated Galax, Va, summarizes the Sit
uation up to Sunday night as follows:
Claude Swanson Allen, the 22-year
old son Of Floyd Allen and one Of
those indicted for the Hillsville court
house murders, has cleanly eluded all
pursuers, but his uncle, Sidna Allen,
and cousins, Wesley Edwards and
Friel Allen, are so closely pressed on
the south side of the Blue Ridge that
they will possibly be captured within
three days.
This information came today from
leaders of the hunt for the gang, who
on March IA swooped down on the
Carroll county court, killed Judge
Massie, Prosecutor Foster, Sheriff
Webb, Juror Fowler and Miss Nancy
Ayers and wounded two bystanders.
Claude Allen, who once attended a
military school at Raleigh, n. c., and
knows more of the outside world than
the average mountaineer. it was learn
ed today, took a pocket full Of gold
from the family cash drawer on the
night Of the tragedy. put on his best
clothes and vanished on horseback
beyond the North Carolina line. Hope
of finding him in the mountains has
now been abandoned.
Not so, however, with the three
other outlaws who are lodging about
the crevices Of the Blue Ridge be-
tween here and Mt Airy, n. c. They
have been seen at a distance, detec-
tives having been within thirty min
utes Of them.
II hope they will all give themselves
up, they had better do 1t, for they have
no chance at ALL" was the frank COM
ment Of Sidna Edwards. likewise In
dicted for murder, who was taken to-
day to Roanoke jail, where he joined

other than the collection Of coupons,
and 1t has come to The Enquirer that
there have been suggestions that the
coupons could be purchased at this Of
fee.
For the benefit Of those who have
sufficient confidence in The Enquirer to
believe what 1t says, we desire to make
the statement that there Is no danger
of the purchase Of sufficient number
of coupons at this office for the simple
reason that we do not propose to have
on hand enough papers to affect the
result
Ordinarily there not more than twen-
ty- five extra copies of each issue print
ed, and while sometimes on special oc-
|casions and on account of some special
article all Of these papers are sold,
generally there is demand for only ten
or fifteen. There has been no extraor-
binary demand for the papers during
this contest, no more than two or three
having been sold to any individual pur-
chaser at any one time, and there will
not be any considerable number sold on
account Of coupons, for the simple rea-
son that we will not encourage the
practice.
Assume that all the extras we print
should be sold on account Of the cou-
pons, and that will not happen, there
would be only so coupons or 500 votes
"a week available from this source. This
would not be sufficient to take care of
even the present difference between
some of the leading contestants and
some that are $500 votes behind.
Attention Is called to the fact too,
that all results announced today neces-
sarily include all coupons that became
null and void on March 22-all of such
coupons that can possibly figure in the
contest.
The object in offering these diction-
aries In this manner was to stimulate
interest In the collection Of the coupons
and for the generous rivalry that would
be created, and not to make money by
the sale Of papers that might be bought
solely on account Of the coupons.
OF course IL the managers Of the con-
test for the various schools, believing
their own chances to be small, desire to
concentrate in the interest Of some 9TH
er school, the success of which they
would prefer next to the success Of
their own school, that Is not our look
out; but II our preferences would be
consulted we would rather see each
school keep up the fight until the very
last vote Is counted In any event the
contestants may depend upon 1t, that
we will not sell them out"

The Columbia State has found copy
of circular letter that is being sent
out to the political leaders of Laurens
county, evidently in the interest of Mr..
Blease. urging a full attendance at the
precinct club organizations so as to en-
sure the election Of delegates to the
county convention opposed to change
in the party rules requiring a regis
tration certificate to vote in the pri-
mary. We are decidedly in favor of
making the possession of registration
certificate a prerequisite to the right
to vote in the primary; but one thing
is quite certain and that one thing Is
that the change is not going to be made
unless a majority of the delegates to
the state convention favor the same.
And delegates to the state convention
are elected by the county convention,
and delegates to the county convention
are elected by the precinct clubs. The
whole matter therefore depends upon
what may he done at the precinct club
meetings.

BILE explanation Of this unusual phe-
nomenon was attempted by Mr.. ]. w.
Bauer, the section director of the
weather bureau at Columbia, who
thought II was caused by the fact that
the crests of the floods in the Wateree
and Congaree reached their confluence
and the channel below.
being to narrow to carry off the
combined floods, the waters were
thrown back into the swamps above
and upon Kingville. His theory was
verified, at least to some extent, by the
fact that the river gauge at Rimini, on
the Santee, showed only one flood
crest, whereas, IL the crests in the two
rivers had not reached the Santee at
the same time, 1t would have shown
two flood crests, as 1t had heretofore
always done, when there were floods in
both rivers. He thought it a mere CO.
incidence which had probably never
happened before and might never hap
pen again"
During the highest water at King
vile in 1908. the waters reached the
fire boxes in the Southern's engines
and extinguished the fires.

The automobiles are running about
town pretty we'll, but they are not get
ting out into the country to do much
good.
Many of the fruit trees are loaded
with blooms and whether there will be
a fruit crop will depend upon the
weather from now on.
The roads are generally in pretty bad
condition, but 1t Is fair to say that their
condition Is nothing like as bad as 1t
would have been with the same amount
of rain a few years ago.
Many farmers had commenced plow-
ing on Friday; but most Of them found
the ground too wet, except in spots.
The rain of Friday night and Saturday

Most citizens Of the kind we admire,
are opposed to government sanction OF
the liquor traffic. They are called PRO
hibitionists," and generally they are
characterized as people of only one idea
This characterization, however, is only
for political purposes. The people who
are opposed to government sanction OF
the liquor traffic, are also opposed to
government sanction Of gambling, and
they are opposed to crime of all kinds.
They stand for constitutional govern
ment and for equality before the law.
They are the people who support the
government financially and who give 1t
such moral stability as it has; but they
know very little about politics and gen.
orally they are kicked around like a
political football.

Woodrow Wilson declares that II a
man would have a comprehensive un-
derstanding of the political and eco
nomic problems of today he must not
depend upon the books Of fifteen years
ago to get the information. Although
worshippers of precedent will find 1t
difficult to appreciate this proposition,
we believe that Mr.. Wilson is correct.
The people of these United States are
moving forward at a tremendous rate,
and there are no books that can begin
to comprehend the true nature Of the
forces by which they are governed. 1t
is safe, however, to guess that the
great underlying principle is the same
spirit which actuated the fathers at
the beginning-the desire for genuine
right to be free-the abo-
lition Of privilege.

The Prohibitionists.

The best element in South Carolina's
political life and at the same time an
element that is worst abused than any
other, having been kicked around for
more than a generation, like the fa-
nous "houn' dawg," is what is known
as the Prohibition element.
The term Prohibitionist as applied to
the element under consideration, is
really a misnomer, because as mat
ter of fact, antagonism to the liquor
traffic is only single one of several
equally important lines of endeavor
that characterize their efforts and as
pirations.
Unquestionably the main desire of
the "Prohibitionist" is a pure, clean,
uplifting government, conducted strict

Mr.. A. b. Williams Of the Roanoke
Times, has made an exhaustive study
of the causes leading up to the assas-
sination at Hillsville, and he attributes
it to grudges, that have developed dur
ing more than a generation. According
to his sizing up of the situation. the
Aliens had been at outs with the peo-
pie of Hillsville for quite long time
and were unwilling to obey the law as
by Carroll county officials.
Mr.. Williams does not think that the
Aliens realized that they were defying
the state of Virginia, the United States
and the world.
