REVISING THE LIST,

The Enquirer goes into the mails
today considerably lighter than for the
previous isSue-at least 25 pounds
lighter
The reason is because since the last
issue there has been stricken out
about $50 names that had not been re.
turned up to this morning.
The total number Of papers printed
for subscribers last Friday was 2,450,
and that number breaks all previous
records.
After the list has been thoroughly
and completely revised, leaving no
names except those that are entitled to
receive today's paper, the total num-
Der of names left is 2,200, which is
also in excess of any previous year af-
ter cutting out expired subscriptions.
We are printing today 1850 copies.
The object Of printing the extra $50
is that we feel assured from past ex-
perience and knowledge Of the people,
that at least $50 of the names that
have been stricken out will come back
again.
AS energetic and vigilant as our
clubmakerS are, they seem to find ii
i'm possible to see all the old subscrib
ers, and many old subscribers. though
we'll acquainted with the rule. forget
or neglect to give their names to club
makers.
In handling so many names in such
a short time. and no one who has not
actually seen the work can have an
idea of the amount of detail necessary
to keep matters straight, it IS proba-
BILE that some eVors have been made.
1T sometimes happens that we cut
out name or two that ought not to be
cut out, and we fail to renew names
that ought to be renewed. Some
times these errors are ours and some
times they belong elsewhere; but no
matter who is responsible for errors
the errors always annoy us, and we
lose no time in correcting them.

BONDS ASTRAY.

The bonds issued by York township
in aid of the Charleston, Cincinnati
& Chicago railroad fall due on April
/, and provision has been made fol
their refunding on that date; but
there is still some mystery in connec.
tion with the issue.
According to the records, so far as
Treasurer Neil has information, the
original issue of these York township
bonds was $4,000, and when $4,000
were Cancelled by the compromise OF
twenty years ago. there was left $780,
900 to be paid.
The records in the office Of the
county treasurer, even back in Treas
urer Neely's time, show that the an
nual payments on account of coupons
on York township bonds were $500
and $500 Is the amount that Treas-
urer Neil has been paying each year
1t is To be seen at a glance that
$3,920 Is per cent interest on only
$4,000, and the question that Is wor-
rying the treasurer and others is
where is that $4,000 Of bonds other
wise unaccounted for?
1t is possible that the $4,000 referred
to may have been compromised in
some way: but If so, nobody seems
to have any record Of the fact, and
the probability Is that these bonds

The quarters ending June 80 and
September 80 are known as the light
quarters, and the quarters ending De-
'cember 81 and March 81 are known as
the heavy quarters. From the forego-
ing it will be noted that the light Sep
tember quarter of 1911 shows larger
receipts than the heavy March quarter
of 1910. Each month Of 1911 shows
a heavy increase over the correspond
ing quarter Of 1910.
While ii Is not a law that postof-
fee with receipts amounting to $4,000
Is entitled to public building; custom
has pretty well established the fact
that a public building cannot be erect
ed for an office with receipts short of
that figure.
AS will be seen from the foregoing
the receipts for the three quarters
to- $5,525.35 and to come in the $4,000
class this year, the receipts Of the
present quarter will have to aggregate
$2,474.65, or only $300.97 more than
for the quarter just ended.
The steady increase of receipts dur
ing the past year Is accounted for
solely by steady increase in the bus
iness Of the town and community sur
rounding. People are using the mails
more and more. At one time about
two months ago 1t looked as II the re-
ceipts were falling off and that the ag-
gregate for the quarter ending Decem-
Der 81 would be smaller than for De-
cember Of last year: but 1t did not turn
out that way. The volume of business
materialiZed during the quarter on an
increasing scale, and 1t Is still holding
up nicely. If the first quarter Of 1912
should maintain the same rate of in
crease over 1911, that the first quarter
Of 1911 showed over the first quarter
of 1910, the desired $4,000 will be
reached and passed.

The Charlotte police seek to justify
their attitude as to the Milus Partlow
matter on the ground that they are
trying to prevent Milus from being
taken to South Carolina, and the
Charlotte Observer persists In print
ing statements that seem to give col
or 10 that contention. The fact is
that since the identity of Milus Part
low was discovered by a South Carroll
ma officer. there has been no effort to
bring him to South Carolina. The al
legged attempt to wreck the c. & N
W. train occurred in North Carolina,
and that Is the only offense on ac-
count of which q reward has been Of
fered for the negro. The Charlotte
police know that, yet according to
the Charlotte Observer they persist in
trying to make it appear that Consta-
BILE Johnson of South Carolina Is try
ing to bring the negro to this state.
The Enquirer has made 1t perfectly
plain that 1t is Gastonia that wants
Partlow and that the Charlotte police
who have been holding the negro un-
lawfully. have been doing so in the
hope of trying to make Constable
Johnson agree to a division of the re-
wards that are to be paid in the event
of Partlow's conviction on the train
wrecking charge.

tory is, Of course, the climax. The

If we are able to correctly interpret
the Republican political situation, we
would say that things are pointing
very strongly to bitter fight between
Taft and Roosevelt for the Republi-
can nomination. LaFollette is the os-
tensible leader Of the Republican
progressives and we do not doubt that
LaFollette really wants the nomina-
ton and expects to get 1t. We are in
clined to think that Roosevelt would
really be we'll enough pleased TO see
LaFollette get the nomination.; but
we are not looking for anything like
that to develop. Although it can
hardly be claimed that Taft has proved
a successful leader of his party, still
his position is one of strength. He Is
entitled to second nomination by
custom If nothing else. and then
there Is q big Office holding crowd
that owes him allegiance. But this is
hardly sufficient for the circum-
stances Taft went into office as an
alleged exponent of Roosevelt's poll
cies and in the eyes Of the country
pledged to carry out those policies.
He has failed woefully. Also he made
a fearful mistake in the Ballinger
matter, and Hitchcock has added to
his troubles. LaFollette and his crowd
have been faithful along Roosevelt
lines, and that Roosevelts sympathies
are with them is natural. While La
Toilette has succeeded in making a
considerable division, and while he
will undoubtedly succeed in making
that division much greater, it is hard
ly probable that he will gather enough
strength to capture the nomination
from Taft The only man in the Re-
publican party who is big enough to
capture the nomination is Mr.. Roose-
welt, and if there is no other way for
it, that is what it will come to, at least
that is the way the situation. looks to
us now.

The weather of the past few days
has been hard on everybody, the rural

time.
In the presence of the writer a few
days ago a large farmer remarked
that he had large quantity Of good
hay that he could easily sell at $40 a
ton If he were not afraid to do so.
His fear is based upon the uncertain
ties of his own necessities and the
possibility Of prices going very much
higher.

the most remarkable utterances eman-

position was that Of Governor Blease
in giving his reasons for pardoning
Wash Hunter, a convict, who was Mr.
election to the governorship, when he
said he pardoned the convicted man.
slayer because of the we'll known
prejudice of the people Of Greenwood
county against gambling and whisky
drinking"
During the trial in Greenwood coun-
ty 1t was generally admitted by the
witnesses that the young men in
volved in the case were gambling and
drinking whisky at the time Of the
killing by Hunter. Now comes for
ward the governor Of the state with
the claim that Hunter was convicted
because the people Of Greenwood
county are opposed to gambling and
whisky drinking.
Our recollection Is that Hunter was
tried twice or more in Laurens county
where the killing occurred, before the
case was transferred to Greenwood
And he failed to secure an acquittal
before his very own people. Was II
because they, too, are opposed to
gambling and whisky drinking? BY
whom would the attorney governor
have his gambling and whisky drink
ing clients tried? To whom may the
good people Of the state look for the
protection Of society, those who favor
or those who oppose gambling and
whisky drinking?
Is the governors reason for par
doning Hunter a legitimate one? Can
it be that that was the intent Of the
constitution makers when they invest
ed the governor with the pardoning
power? Upon what manner of days
have we come?
In our opinion, the governor has
paid the people Of Greenwood a high
compliment when he says they are OPP
posed to gambling and whisky drink
ing, for these two evils are responsible
for more killings than all other causes
ombined.-Abbeville Medium.

another candidates for the Democratic
nomination for the presidency are
making a mistake. They are going to
find it hard to support this man whom
they have attacked when he is nomi-
mated. We have reference to no par
ticular paper nor to any particular
candidate. There are some woodrow
Wilson papers who are attacking Jud-
son Harmon. There are some Har-
mon papers that are attacking Will
son. There are some Clark papers
that are attacking both Harmon and
Wilson and vice versa. 1t is all right
to discuss the merits of the candidates
without exhibiting any partisanship.
but to make open and bitter attacks
upon them is a mistake which will be
realized later-Greenville Piedmont.
Sounds like the wisdom cleaned
from experience. and true it Is, every
word of it. Let newspapers and peo-
pie have their preferences Of course;
but let them avoid unnecessary bitter
ness. Somehow we think Woodrow
Wilson the man. but because Of that
we do not consider Clark. Harmon or
Bryan scoundrels. The country would
be safe with any one of them, certain
ly as safe as it is now.

II The Capers faction has won recog-
milton from the National Republican
party over the Talbert faction in South
Carolina. 1t was done through the
engineering of John G.. Capers. as a
member of the National executive
committee. CaperS managed to have
incorporated in the calls for state con-
ventions a provision instructing that
the secretary of the national executive
make out three copies of the call for
each state and place them I'm the
hands of the national committeeman
of the respective states with inStruc-
tionS for the national committeeman
to give them out to the respective
state chairmen and secretaries. This
means of course that Committeeman
Capers will place his call in the hands
of LoomiS Blalock as chairman of the
Republican party in South Carolina
Under this arrangement the Talbert
faction will have but a poor show TO
get a hearing in the national conven-
ton.
