Amundsen and Cook.-Is the world
wide controversy that marked the re-
turn of Peary and DR.. Cook in 1905
from the Arctic regions with rival
claims for the discovery of the pole to
be repeated with the return to civil
ization from the Antarctic by Captain
Roald Amundsen and Captain Robert
F.. Scott?
Until something is heard from Scott
and more definite news is received
from Amundsen the world will have tC
wait patiently.
In view of the expected controversy
it is interesting to recall what Captain
Amundsen said about DR.. Cook. when
the now discredited explorer was the
center of criticism following Peary's
charges.
For two years." he said to an in
terviewer, Il was very close to DR.
Cook during our Antarctic expedition
have met. / would trust no other
man as | trust him."
Asked about Peary's Eskimo evil
dence. Captain Amundsen said:
II don't care a d for the Eskimos.
They can say what they want to. They
reckon out what you want to hear
and then speak to please the Good
White Man." Only a man like Rus
mussen can handle them so as to get
the truth"
Amundsen then told of examining
Cooks map and some of his other
data. and of his conversation with
Cook That was enough to make me
believe Cook had been to the pole. -
he said, "even if had not known him
before. Enquirer.

FERTILIZERS.

The common impression is that the
fertilizer business has been held up
more largely by the weather condi-
tions than from any other cause.
During the early part of the season
the retail distributors seeing that no
goods could be delivered even If they
were on hand. refrained from ordering
out a great deal Of stuff from the fac
tories.
AS the season began to advance to-
ward the time when fertilizers should
be in the ground, the local distributors
began to order out goods In small
quantities.
At the present time most of the To-
cal distributors have larger or smaller
stocks on hand, and are supplying such
demand as there is; but few If any OF
the local distributors have ordered out
anything like their full supplies.
The railroads have been able to keep
up with the demand hands down.
There has been no car famine or any
thing of that kind this season; but II
is expected that there may be a rush
yet. However, generally the railroads
are holding themselves in condition to
meet such demand as may be made
uDOn them.

THE CLUB CONTEST.

The attention of clubmakers and
others interested is called to the fac
that The Enquirer's annual club con-
test comes to an end next Saturday
evening at 6 o'clock.
This means that all subscribers who
have given their names to clubmakers
and who have not yet paid their sub
scriptions, should attend to the matter
at once and all clubmakers who have
not yet settled for their clubs should
attend to the matter on or before next
Saturday at o'clock.
AS clubmakers and subscribers alike
understand, all subscriptions not set
tied on or before next Saturday vii
be discontinued. We sincerely hope
that there will be no names to discon-
tinue; but the experience of a great
many years has shown that there Is nc
other way to deal with the matter.
The results of the contest will be
announced in the issue Of The Enqui-
rer of next Tuesday, and the premiums
due will be delivered as soon thereaf-
ter as possible.

- Lawrence, Mass, March 10: AL
though leaders in the textile workers
strike express the belief that the end
Is close at hand, with a considerable
victory for the strikers already as
sured by the granting Of general in
creases in wages, there was no let-up
today In preparations for continuing
the struggle. Speakers at nearly a
score Of meetings laid stress upon the
necessity Of maintaining their
strength. The leaders planned to
have more pickets on duty tomorrow
than at any time since the strike was
begun, two months ago. A strikers
committee will probably meet the
American Woolen company officials
in Boston tomorrow. The increase Of
Z 1-2 per cent Of wages, announced by
this company. finds favor with the
strikers generally. but the leaders
want to know in terms Of dollars and
cents the operation of the maximum
and minimum provisions Of the new
scale. President Wood Is expected to
furnish these figures at the confer
ence. The premium system also
stands in the way Of an immediate

tween the American Woolen company
and its striking employees will be fol-

morrow will mark the opening Of the
ninth week Of the strike. From the
first the strike has been marked by
rioting and sensational incidents. Two
persons have been killed.

THE PIG CLUB.

AS has been previously published
the final date for enrolment on the
York County Pig club Is next Sat-
urday, March 16, and on or before
that date the superintendent Of edu.
cation must be furnished with the
name Of the member desiring enroll
ment and the age and weight Of the
pig.
Boys and girls who have already
had their names enrolled as members
must not forget that II they have moi
already done so, they must furnish
the certified statement giving age and
weight of pig, on or before next Sat
urday. This Is important for an equi-
table adjustment Of such questions al
may arise in connection with the
awarding Of prizes.
Since the names last published, the
following have been enrolled as mem.
bers Of the Pig club:
] Ed Shillinglaw. -. No. 7, Yorkville
Sumter Sandifer $50. mo. 3, Yorkville
Lois B. Simpson ............. Leslie
]. Thomas Simpson ......... LESLIE
Olive Gauldin No. 8. Yorkville
Joseph Moss ........ No. 3. Yorkville
This makes twenty-seven members
enrolled in all, up to date; but the
list will be kept open until next
Saturday, for the enrolment Of all
additional applicants under Is years
Additional applicants. however, should
send in the age and weight Of their
competing pigs at the time of sending
in their names.
When the York County Pig club was
organized, 1t was assumed by thecom-
mittee that the age limit Of member
shin would be the same as in the
case Of the York County Corn club-12
to 18 years; but this condition was not
specifically agreed upon or published
at the time.
But it appears that there has arisen
a misunderstanding in regard to the
matter, and there having been several
boys enrolled who are under age. 1t
has been put up to the committee to
decide what should be done.
Upon such consideration as the COM
mittee has been able to give the sub
ject, 1t has been decided that inasmuch
as the object of the Pig club, like that
of the Corn club, Is to interest the
boys and younger people. and mas
much as boys can look after pigs at
younger age than they could manage
a corn patch, there is really no need
for the minimum age limit and the
same will not be enforced.
The age limit, therefore, will stand
at mot over eighteen years"

A New Continent.

The news of Amundsen's attainment
of the South Pole is interesting prin-
cipally because of it's scientific import
ance and the worldwide curiosity as
to the possible mysteries Of a region
hitherto unknown to the inhabitants OF
the balance of the earth; but from va
rious developments that have been
witnessed during the past fifty years
the matter Is not to be dismissed as
being Of no further consequence.
The fact that there is an Antarctic
continent has been known for many
years, and of course Amundsen is not
to be given credit for that general dis
covery. He may have more to tell us
later; but for the present the main
thing Is the fact that he has penetrated
to the bottom of the earth, and proved
that all the vast area in that quarter
can probably be explored from other
directions as well as from the d.
rection that has been followed by him
But what Is the good Of land that
is enveloped in darkness half the year
and where the thermometer ranges
from 80 to so degrees below zero prac-
tically all the time That Is ques-
ton that arises very naturally, and the
first answer that suggests itself othe
average man or woman Is nothing
but in the light of modern knowledge,
experience and achievement, 1t will
not do to stop at that.
When Secretary Seward a half GEN.
tury ago, purchased Alaska from Rus
sia for $7,500,000, the transaction was
generally regarded as very silly, and
as a matter of fact it was silly on any
other attempted justification than a
bid for the good will Of Russia. That,
no doubt, was the real object of the
purchase; but since then, especially
within the past few years, Alaska has
come to the fore as a land Of tremend-
GUS natural resources. and it is in
creasing in population and wealth at
a phenomenal rate
While we would not undertake to
predict the development of the Ant
arctic continent, still we can see very
well how such a thing could come to
pass. In a land so vast as this Is
shown to be, there Is an easy possibil-
ity of the discovery Of both gold and
coal in tremendous quantities, and If
such discovery is made, to say nothing
of any other possible discoveries, the
development Of the land Is assured.
In the old days, even gold and coal
would have been of little Importance
in such an inaccessible country. Rail-
road transportation would have been
out of the question because of obsta-
cles that could not have been sur
mounted; but under modern conditions
the transportation problem may be
solved in various ways, and an abund-
ance of coal with lots of gold will
mean the speedy building up of pop
ulous cities.
AS we have said, we do not care to
venture any predictions, but neverthe-
less it is possible that another fifty
years may bring about wonderful
changes in the vast desolation that
abounds throughout the frozen wastes
of both the Arctic and Antarctic cir
cles.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1912-03-12

1t is very gratifying to be able to
note that so far there has developed
no information of anything that Capt
Amundsen has said or done that is
calculated to make an ugly impress
sion. The Norwegian knows nothing
of the whereabouts of Capt. Scott, the
Englishman, but says he hopes that
Capt. Scott has also been successful
1t will be remembered that during the
heat of the Cook-Perry controversy,
Capt. Amundsen said he knew Cook
well enough to have absolute faith in
him, and stated that he believed Cooks
story that he had been to the North
Pole. AS a matter Of fact it has never
been disproved that Cook went to the
North Pole any more than it has
been proved that Peary went there.
The probability is that both were sue
cessful.

THE DICTIONARY CONTEST.

The children who are collecting die
tionary coupons, will take note of the
fact that there has been a change in
the date Of the coupon published to-
day.
All the coupons published since the
beginning Of the contest were dated so
as to require them to be voted on or
before March %. The coupons print
ed from now until there has been an
other change must be voted on or be-
fore Saturday, March 80.
In order that there may be no mis-
understanding, 1t is desirable that ev-
cry contestant observe the rules care
fully. Any coupon that has been
printed previous to this issue may be
voted on up to March %, but IL it is
not voted on or before that date, 1t will
on presentation, be thrown out.
OF course 1t Is understood that there
can be no changing Of votes after the
same have been recorded in the con-
test. Collectors Of coupons have a
right to vote them for whichever
school they please; but after the cou-
pons have been voted that Is the end
Of them. If any collector desires to
change his or her activities after votes
have been recorded, the change must
be done with new coupons.
Following Is the result Of the voting
in the dictionary contest up to this
