as we shall have both the infartry
and the cavalry. A large portion OF
the cavalry will likely come from the
town and county, as the increased
cost on the boarding boys will pre-
vent many of them from taking part
in it.
A change in the actual work OF
teaching | wish to be especially not
ed. School will begin as usual at
eight o'clock, but the first half hour
will be given over to general inswuc-
ton. Each teacher will be in his
class room during this time, and will
take up any work with students on
which they may have had trouble.
1t will be devoted probably more to
the boys from town, because the
boarding boys will have an hour at
right at which they will be able to
work under the direction of the
teachers. This half hour of study UNI
der the direction of the teachers will
mean a great deal in the way of
steady advancement to the boy.
The Penalty School in the after
noon will be changed in that the
boys who are required to serve time
in this school will report to the
teachers who kept them in, and will
take up the lesson on which he was
deficient. Each teacher will stay in
with his own delinquents, and they
will go over the work of the lesson
together. The same will be true of
school. This will take less
time, and at the same time, will more
nearly meet the real purpose OF the
delinquent school.
Statements have already been pub
lished in The Herald regarding the
of cavalry and the remodel
ing of the magazine for a gymna-
SUM. There is now no need to dwell
on either matter, except to assure
the public that while we mean to
have the military and athletic fea-
lures Of the first class. we will allow
neither to interfere with the academ-
lc work of the school.
Now word in closing. The
school work and the school for the
past session were as satisfactory as
any in the history of the Academy in
spite of the rather difficult expert
ence through which we were pass
ing. l feel that we deserve the pat
ronage of the public, otherwise
should not ask it. Columbia had
borne the reputation of not support
ing her schools when l came here
seven years ago. This l have. dis
proved in a large measure. l feel
that the real test Of the loyalty of
the public to public institution will
come this year. feel that 1t is not
necessary to mention. the fact that
the school has been of advantage to
the town. In q monetary way It has
done as much for the town
as any other institution in it. It has
advertised the town, and in innumer-
able ways been of benefit. The town
raust now help us make this the most
year we have had thus
far There is no change in the cost
for the town boys. The town boys
Who desire to enter the cavalry will
furnish their own horses.
Yours very truly,

SHEEP AND GOATS.
Barrett Says Farmers Must Learn to
Discriminate.

In a statement to the members Of
the Farmers Union issued from Wash
ington a few days ago. President
Charles s. Barrett says the recall, in
itiative and referendum are not worth
a whoop. unless the farmer learns to
distinguish between the political fakir
and the genuine statesman.
A portion Of his statement follows:
only the leaders Of the farmers
who try to get things done in Wash
ington know the buncombe and gold
bricks handed out consistently to the
man of the acres by the politicians
There are few good, strong, upright
sincere men in both branches. But
the majority proceed upon the theory
Office Is to trade, juggle, fiatter and
mislead the man whose vote Is the first
necessity for office holding.
That Is why / say that though
heartily advocate the recall. initiative
and referendum as aids to direct gov
ernment by the people, that none Of
them are worth a whoop unless the
farmer learns to distinguish the po-
litical fakir from the statesman. We
can't put off our responsibilities as
intelligent thinkers and voters upon
any convenient legislative device. The
American people thought they had
founded genuine democracy when they
decreed they wouldn't have a king or
a hereditary nobility. They are still
in voluntary bondage to the taking
politician. The farmer Is an especial
offender. Until he learns to separate
the political sheep from the goats, the
recall, initiative, referendum, direct
election Of senator's or anything else
will only partly emancipate him.
for, according to present indications,
the politicians can work their little
bluff game as easily as with as with
out these handicaps."

MEAT LICENSE QUESTION.

Service of notice by the town coun-
ell of Yorkville on the local butchers to
the effect that unless the price of
choice steak he reduced to 123 cents
and Is cents pound, and choice roast
to 10 cents a pound and other cuts re-
duced in proportion, the council will
revoke all licenses and refund to the
butchers such license money as may
be due on account of the unexpired
period during which the contract pro-
vides that they shall yet receive pro-
lection. has been the occasion Of lots
of discussion throughout the town
this week
The notice referred to was served
last Tuesday. Although official, 1t was
not gotten up in official form exactly.
There were three typewriter copies
without signatures. and these were
served on Messrs. G. w. Sherrer, A.
Rose and c. F.. Sherrer, the three local
butchers, by Chief of Police Love.
On learning of the rather peculiar
development, representative of The
Enquirer talked to the marketmen and
to one or two members of the council
to get an idea of what 1t all meant;
but to say that a comprehensive no.
ton has been reached as to the true
inwardness of the situation will hard
ly be correct.
The councilmen talked, of course,
but they were not willing to talk for
publication. and the same was true of
the marketmen. While therefore, some
Information was secured, that infor-
nation can hardly be given with full
and exact authority for its origin; but
these are facts:

THIS YEARS CROP.

The farmers of York county can
make a crop cheaper this year than
during any year for years past" was
the surprising remark made by York
Vile business man a few days ago, and
when asked to explain, he said
well, 1t is just like this. A major
ity of the farmers have this year made
all the supplies necessary for big
crop and they have less to buy than
usual. They are dependent on the
supply men to a less extent than ever
before and If a crop cannot be rails
ed cheaply under those conditions II
is difficult to see why"
AS has been stated in The Enquirer
no effort has been made to learn just
how much corn and meat there Is In
the country. 1t is probably nobody's
business other than the fortunate own
ers of this corn and meat; but still ii
Is reasonable to assume that the coun-
try Is pretty well supplied-better sup
piled, no doubt, than it has ever been.

liability rather than as an asset.
Should he have pretended that he
thought that Colonel Harvey was help
ing when he was not? And why
should Colonel Harvey complain? II
he really favors Governor Wilson, he
must desire to aid him; why should
he be offended then at Governor
Wilson'S frankness? Is he more in
terested as the man who made Gov
ernor Wilson famous than in advanc-
ing Governor Wilson's cause? Harvey
has shown no signs of conversion. II
he communes with Ananiases. IT Is
not with any consciousness of blind
ness. He has seen no new light, and
when he does he will feel so ashamed
of his lifelong fight against progress
sive Democracy that his first desire
will be to bring forth fruits meet for
repentance-not to assume leadership.
1t must pain Governor Wilson to break
with his old friends, but the breaks
must necessarily come unless he turns
back or they. go forward. "A man is
known by the company he keeps and
he cannot keep company with those
going in opposite directions. Govern
or Wilson must prepare himself for
other desertions-they will distress
him, but there is abundant consola-
ton of duty we'll DONE"

men, Messrs C. F. and G. w. Sherrer
each undertake to supply beef regular
Ily. Mr.. A. Rose has beef only with
more or less regularity. When 1t suits
him to put two or three beeves on the
retail market he does so and not 9TH
erwise. Mr.. C. F. Sherrer claims to
handle only the best western beef or
local stall fed beef, and demands 20
cents a pound for choice steak, and
sells other cuts In proportion. Messrs
G. w. Sherrer and A. Rose use their
best judgment in getting the best beef
they can and they sell 1t for Is cents
a pound for prime steak and all other
cuts in proportion. Like Mr.. c. F
Sherrer they insist that their beef Is
all right and we'll worth the money;
but they offer no objection in cases
, where a customer prefers to pay Mr.
| c. F. Sherrer 20 cents a pound for what
they can furnish for Is cents. Mr.. c.
F. Sherrer makes no objection in the
case of those who prefer to buy beef
from Mr.. G. w. Sherrer and Mr.. A
Rose for Is cents, when he asks them
90 cents. There Is absolutely no jeal-
ousy or rivalry among the butchers
and certainly no combination.
The only reason given by any men,
Der of the town council for its action
lis the claim that years ago when beef
was worth and cents a pound on
foot. choice steak was retailed at 10
cents a pound and there is no good
reason for the present high cost OF
living" The best way to reduce the
cost Of living Is to abolish the license
and throw the market open to anybody
who wants to SELL
The common answer to this. in view
Of the conditions described is, WELL
surely, with G. w. Sherrer and A. Rose
selling beef at Is cents a pound
they are not going to try to make c.
F. Sherrer come down to Is cents q
pound, especially when nobody has to
buy from c. F. Sherrer unless they
wish. And to throw down the bars
against G. w. Sherrer and A. Rose
who are doing what the council seems
to be wanting because c. F. Sherrer
believes that customers will support
him In efforts to give them what he
believes to be a superior grade of stuff
does not seem exactly fair"
Under the municipal laws butchers
are required to pay license for the
year and in the summer time to keep
their beef on ice and have their places
screened against flies. The license is
generally looked upon as a protection
lagainst outside competition, especially
during the winter months. The sale OF
country beef from wagons during the
summer months Is generally conceded
to be a. precarious business, unsatis-
factory alike to both customer and
dealer.
It Is argued by some disinterested
outsiders that when the town council
accepted license from the local meat
Dealers 1t assumed a moral obligation
to protect those dealers from all unli-
censed competitions; but on this point
the licensed dealers are keeping their
own counsel. They do not seem to fee
that 1t is up to them to talk.

The house OF representatives last
Tuesday night voted to expunge from
it's permanent record all of the special
veto message Of Governor Blease on
the libel act except the governors spe-
cifc objections. The vote was Sc in
favor of expunging and 26 against do
ing so. All of the York members voted
to expunge. On the question of sus-
tanning the veto itself the vote was
81 to so against the veto. Messrs
Mellow and Sanders of the York del
egation, voted to override the veto and
Messrs. Beamguard and Saye voted to
sustain it. Inasmuch as veto cannot
be overridden except by two-thirds
majority, the veto stands, and the libel
bill Is dead.

declare they will not permit the wo.

The Tvuth Coming out.-Copies of
the Newark Evening News Of Newark,
n. j.. containing the following item
from the Washington correspondent Of
the News, were sent to the members
Of the North Carolina delegation in
congress last Wednesday: Colonel
Henry Watterson of Louisville, told
Senator Lee Overman of North Caro-
lima. at Charlotte, last December, that
Colonel Harvey asked Governor Will
son to meet Thomas F. Ryan to dis
cuss the Wilson candidacy for presi-
dent. This statement was made by
Senator Overman to Senator Hoke
Smith of Georgia and others. The
understanding Overman had was that
1t was the purpose Of the proposed
meeting between Ryan and Wilson
that Ryan should assist to finance VIII
sons candidacy after the manner Of
old-style politics. The manner of the
rejection by Wilson of Harvey's sug-
gestion caused Harvey to inquire re-
garding Wilson'S idea as to the value
of Harper's Weekly support. and that
was followed by Wilson'S frank am
swsr."
When shown this item today Sem
ator Overman declined to affirm or
story Senator Smith would not dis
cuss the matter. Col. watterson de-
clared that he had said all that he
would say at this time, when told OF
the story For ten days 1t has been
said here that Colonel Watterson talk
ed freely to one, two or more people
in Charlotte about the Harvey Wilson
break before the matter became pub
lie.

The Eternal Whisky ouestion.-N

The Eternal Whisky Question.-We
do not know how many times We have
seen the statement In the newspapers
that It was a pity that the eternal
whisky question could not be gotten
out of the way so that the lawmakers
might give attention to important leg
islation. And a good deal was said
before the meeting Of the legislature
that If the whisky question was out 70
the way, the legislature would
have an opportunity to do something
the people who talk this way
need watching. The whisky question
we see. Last Thursday night a legis-
lator who belongs to the crowd who
do this kind of talking introduced a
bill in the house asking that counties
be allowed to vote on having a dispen-
sary, prohibition or high license. This
man would, II he could, put back on
the people the old bar room system.
Put, thanks to the watchful legis-
lators, II was killed. and killed most
decidedly. The people who want H.
quor sold always want this question
out Of the way, when 1t does not go
their way.
This kind Of talk always does dis
gust us. There Is no question that Is
of greater Importance for legislation
than the liquor business. 1t is the
curse Of every country, morally, finan-
cially and in every way, and 1t should
be outlawed; put out Of the way for.
