WITHIN THE TOWN.

ALL the local business folks are
Dragging about what a good day last
Saturday was. Business was very
good yesterday also.
The Shandon hotel has procured
an auto-bus for use in the transfer of
passengers and baggage between the
hotel and the depots.
There was a fine rain in Yorkville
and immediate vicinity yesterday
evening and 1t was most acceptable.
With q little more building in
sight, the local situation would look
better.
-Messrs. J. r. Lindsay and Robert
Witherspoon have formed a partner
ship for the conduct of an insurance
and real estate business. They will
make their announcement to the pub
lie in the next issue Of The Enquirer.
The Fall Of Troy, the intensely in
teresting spectacular production was
the extra attraction at the Star theatre
last Saturday afternoon and night. Pro-
prietor Dorsett has of late been giving
in addition to his two. reels nightly,
more or less frequent extra specials,
like the Raising of the Maine." the
Titanic Disaster" and a number of
others. The Fall of Troy" was pro-
duced by the reel makers at an outlay
of much time and expense, and has
been having quite a run. The picture
did not seem to take very well in ad-
vance; but as the regular attendants
at the theatre began to gather an idea
of the unusually interesting character
of this particular piece, they began to
tell others, and the stream of visitors
kept up from about 4 o'clock In the af-
ternoon until II o'clock Saturday night.
The next special attraction in addition
to the usual two reels will be "Dante's
Inferno" classic that will appeal alike
to the best educated taste and to the
general run of lovers Of a mystery and
marvel. This reel will be shown next

Editor Banks of the Anderson Daily
Mail, who was a McLeodite two years
ago, and who is now working for Mr..
McLeod's successor as leader Of that
party; but who at no time has been a
supporter Of Featherstone except pos
sibly as a hope of beating Blease. is
undertaking to criticise Mr.. Feather
stones campaign Of two years ago
DR.. ]. L. Stokes has seen fit to chal-
lenge some Of the Mails rather fiippant
statements and very properly so. Mr..
Featherstone may have made mis-
takes; but Mr.. Banks is hardly the
man to point them out. However. we
have never believed and we do not be-
lieve now that Mr.. Featherstone's de-
feat was due to any blunder of lead
ership. He carried the flag Of the Pro-
hibition crowd like a man, high and
clean, and the Prohibition crowd is
thoroughly satisfied with him.. 1t is
better satisfied with him than If he
had succeeded, as he could have sue
ceeded by a compromise of their prin-
ciples. No, Mr.. Featherstone is not
responsible for the defeat Of his party.
1t was the then McLeodites, the pres
ent Jonesites, who were responsible.
We mean the politicians among them
the politicians of the kind that the
Mail seems to think that Mr.. Feather
stone should be. These politicians did
not want Mr. Featherstone elected be-
cause they saw his election would mean
a new era in South Carolina politics
an era that would make them go away
back and sit down, and they voted for
Mr.. Blease on the theory and in the
hope that after two years of Blease the
Featherstone people would be glad to
put them in power by defeating Mr..
Blease. The McLeodites want the Pro-
hibitionists to do for them what they
would not do for the Prohibitionists.
Maybe the Prohibitionists are going to
allow themselves to pe manipulated
according to programme. AS to this
we do not know; but we have in mind
the idea that if the Mail really wants
the help of the Prohibitionists for its
side, it had better be somewhat more
judicious in it's criticism of Mr.. Feath-
|erStone.

the imagination, 1t will be easier to get
an idea Of the peculiar value Of the
old files than can be had from even an
extended description. In the first place,
The Enquirer ranked with the best Of
southern weeklies even during the war
period, and II carried almost II not
quite as much matter as II does now.
Leaving out Of consideration the record
of current local events, the going and
coming Of the soldiers in York and
surrounding counties, the chronicles Of
the daily life Of the people in those
trying times, and matters relating to
the every day routine, there is a very
full history of all the big, stirring
events of the war, and Of the doings OF
the state and Confederate govern
ments from start to finish. No such
record, or anything like II Is to be
found anywhere except in the files of
the Charleston News and Courier.
While fortunately The Enquirer's
original files of this period were saved
from the fire Of 1920, this gift from
Mrs. Deal, especially in view of the
graceful generosity with which this
estimable lady has seen proper to make
the tender, is priced none the less. Our
pride In the possession of this gift Is
equaled only by our grateful apprecia-
tion Of the manner In which 1t has
come about.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1912-06-04

The cotton fields as seen from the
windows Of the passenger trains show
up fine stands.
Corn planting continues. Most Of
the cotton Is in, but the planting Of
corn Is not so forward as usual.
There are more fine oats throughout
the county than has been known for
several years. The season seems to
have been just right. Harvest Is now
we'll on.
Although business is quite dull gen.
orally, most thoughtful business men
are agreed that it Is best that way. 1T
Is better to have dull business now
than next fall" Is the way they gen.
orally put it.
Why, certainly the work of the re-
cent York county Democratic conven-
ton was framed up in caucus. All the
delegates did not know about 1t in ad-
vance. Only a few of them, in fact,
were taken into the deal-the few that
would likely be agreeable to what was
desired. At the caucus 1t was agreed
that w. B. Wilson, Jr., would not stand
for reelection as chairman; that w.
W. Lewis, Esq, would be his successor;
that w. B. Wilson, Jr, would be state
Executive committeeman, and the del
Everything went according to pro-
gramme, except there came near being
IA slip on the election of state execu-
tive committeeman. The committee on
nominations for delegates to Columbia
went into the room with typewriter
list Of the names agreed upon in eau
Gus and reported it back without
change. The matter is Of very little
real Importance, as such things are
usually done in this way by few; but
It Is just as we'll that the fact of the
matter be incorporated in the record.
In the view Of The Enquirer land
owners along Fishing creek could do
no better than to take immediate and
serious hold on the dredging PROPOSE
ton now being agitated. The time
was, away back eighty years ago,
when the Fishing creek bottoms alone
produced enough corn to supply the
entire population Of the county, which
was then nearly one-half Of what 1t Is
now. Indeed, these bottoms did not go
into decline until after the close Of the
war. and then they began to suffer
by the general decentralization Of labor
conditions. or course 1t Is up to the
land owners to do what Is to be done,
or whether to do anything; but with
the dredging facilities now possible
under modern cooperation, there is
no reason why all these once fertile
bottoms should not speedily be made
more productive than ever. There are
other drainage propositions in the
county well worth looking into; but
from what we know of 1t or think we
know of It, this Fishing creek propo-
s!tion Is easily the most attractive Of
them all.

Although a bill has been introduced

Although a bill has been introduced
promising a reduction Of about q per
cent in the tariff on cotton goods. they
will have to show us before we will be-
lieve that 1t means other than politics.
We would be pleased, however. to see
the bill become a law. We reason this
way. America is the best market in
the world for cotton goods. Most OF
the cotton goods are made abroad,
where the price of raw cotton Is fixed.
American consumers of cotton goods
have to pay a heavy tariff, most of
which goes to American cotton manu-
facturers. We believe American man.
ufacturers can make goods about as
cheap as the foreigners. A reduction
of the tariff would increase the COM
petition in the United States and make
a still livelier competition for raw cot
ton. The result would be benefit to
the cotton producer both ways. and we
do not believe there would be any real
Injustice to American manufacturers.
But as we have remarked. we do not
believe there is to be any immediate
change

On our own motion we are reproduc-
ing from the Winnsboro Herald a card
of a personal nature that Mr.. w. E.
Gonzales has written in reply to an
attack by Senator w. o. johnson OF
Fairfield. The card explains itself fully
and as il contains no structures of any
kind against Senator Johnson, there Is
no obligation upon us to print Senator
Johnsons attack, which as a matter OF
fact we have not seen. We do not want
to be understood as trying to defend
Mr.. Gonzales. 1t Is not up to us to do
so, and even If 1t were up to us. 1t
would be quite unnecessary, for dur
ing a period Of about eleven years dur
ing which he has been. the editor OF the
State, Mr. Gonzales has shown him.
self quite capable Of defending himself.
We do not want to be understood eth
er, as trying to hold Mr.. Gonzales up
as a paragon of infallible perfection;
because we do not believe any such
thing of him. Like other men, including
ourselves, he has his faults, and some
of those faults strike us as being very
grave, Just as some of our faults no
doubt strike him. We> have tried to
Jolt the State little more or less in
times past, and 1t has been after us
more than once without gloves. There
has been no joking about the matter on
either side, and no lack of earnestness
either. We do not swallow all the State
says by any means, and we do not be-
lieve 1t Is possible that we will ever be
able to do so; but it Is not the purpose
of this paragraph to specify. We are
not seeking to butt in or hunt trouble.
But we do want to say this: What Mr..
Gonzales has said in his card is his
torically correct, and there is no doubt
about the fact that he Is as much
American as any of us-just as good
or just as bad, according to view
point. That is the truth. On more than
one occasion the State has hit The En-
quirer some pretty stinging licks. and
while we are not going to say that we
did not mind them" we are proud in
deed of the fact that we have never
been driven to resort to such silly and
contemplate epithets as Cuban, and
the like, in reply.

oE HISTORIC VALUE.

All the files of The Yorkville Enqui-
rer from 1858 to 1866 inclusive, cover
ing the entire war period, bound in
three volumes, was the unusual pres
ent of which the editor became the
highly appreciative recipient last Sat-
urday.
The present came through the gen.
erosity of Mrs. M. f. Deal Of Blacks
burg, whose friendship for the late
Capt. l.. NJ. Grist, the first publisher
of The Enquirer, came through her
father, the late Samuel G. Brown, and
in this way down to the present pub
fishers of The Enquirer
From Mrs. Deal we learn that her
father was an old-time clubmaker for
The Enquirer and along with various
premiums he received in recognition Of
his services and In tokens of friendship
between Mr.. Brown and the late Capt
l.. NJ. Grist, were these bound volumes
of the paper. Originally there were
four volumes In all; hut one Of these.
including the years 1856 and 1857, Mrs
Deal gave to Capt. Grist shortly after
the burning of The Enquirer office in
1890.

Anderson special of June l to the
Greenville News: II think I am en-
titled to be the first person in South
Carolina to go to the electric chair. l
am the oldest prisoner under death
sentence in the state" was the decla-
ration made today by Samuel N. Hyde
the wife murderer, when asked In the
court of sessions by Judge Prince II
he had anything to say why the death
sentence should not be imposed on
him. Judge Prince told Hyde he was
disposed to accede to his request, but
that he did not know when the elec-
trio chair would be ready for busi-
ness. The contract calls for the in
stallation of the. chair by June FL.
Judge Prince said that there may be
some delay in carrying out the con-
tract. Hyde remarked that he did
not believe there would be any de-
lay, that the chair manufacturers
would certainly live up to their con-
tract. Judge Prince then said to
Hyde that he did not think he (Hyde)
would want to be the one to be eX-
perimented on; that the first execu-
ton might be a bunglesome job. A
smile broke over Hyde's face when
the court used the word "bungle-
some," and replied. that some one had
to be eXperimented on, ana tnat ne
was willing to be that one. II think
am entitled to be the first in the
state. and 1 ask that you give me this
privilege" Judge Prince stated again
that he did not know whether the
chair would be in readiness by June
81, and that If he sentenced him to die
at that time there may be some de-
lay and this would necessitate the i'm
position Of another sentence at the
next term of criminal court. Hyde
inquired If Judge Prince knew when
the first execution already pronounced
will take place. Judge Prince said
that he did not know for certain,
but that there are several persons in
the state under sentence to die in the
chair. Hyde then said: How about
the 2Sth of June? That Is on Fri
day" Judge Prince stated that he
would have to allow for a reasonable
delay in putting in the chair. He
then pronounced the death sentence.
the day of execution being the fifth
of July. the hour being between 10
o'clock in the forenoon and o'clock
in the afternoon.

- Greenville special Of May 81 to
the News and Courier: T. u. Vaughn,
former superintendent Of the South
Carolina Odd Fellows orphanage,
for whose arrest the board Of trus-
tees yesterday swore out q warrant,
charging him with committing an
unmentionable offence on one Of the
little orphan girls under his care, to-
night occupied a cell In the county
jail He was arrested this afternoon
by a deputy near Taylor's station,
about nine miles north Of Greenville,
and secretly hurried to jail. The ac-
cused came into Greenville this morn
ing on southbound Southern vestibule
train No. 81. When about to alight
at the station he was met by his
brother, who, 1t is said, informed
him Of what had occurred and ad-
vised him to get out Of town. Vaughn
is said to have gotten back on the
train, dismounted on the opposite
side from the station and fled north.
A telephone message to the sherif' s
