The Chaingang.

Is the York county chaingang a
profitable institution from a financial
standpoint? This is a question that is
constantly forcing itself upon people
who give more or less attention to such
matters.
So far as the management of the
chaingang is concerned we have moth
ing to say because we believe 1t is be-
ing about as well managed as Is Nos-
sible under the circumstances; put
there are other considerations that en-
ter into the matter that are worthy of
attention.
The principal question is whether
such labor as comes to the chaingang
through the magistrates and court of
general sessions comes up to a reason
ably fair standard, that could enter
into competition with free labor even
under compulsory conditions. Is it pos
sible to hire guards, overseers, ETC.,
feed, clothe, and house convicts and get
as good work out of them, man for
man, at as low cost as would be the
case with fairly well paid free labor?
There are people who say no and
people who say yes; but we confess
our inability to give a satisfactory
answer to the question. Our informa-
ton is that Mecklenburg and CASTOR
counties, after a long and intelligent
trial of the chaingang system have
abolished the same in favor of free la
Dor, and it Is a question with us as to
whether 1t would not be a very good
idea for York to do likewise.

There has been more or less COM
ment in the papers as to the attitude
Of Governor Blease to the national po-
litical situation, and because Of the
fact that w. P. Beard, editor Of the
News -Scimitar, has been made secre-
tary Of the Bull Moose party in this
state, there is more or less assumption
that the sympathies of the governor
lay in that direction. The Enquirer is
without authority to speak for Govern
or Blease and without sufficient infor-
nation to speak If We had authority;
but until he makes public announce
ment Of his position, we do not feel
warranted in undertaking to place
him. There is no reason to doubt that
the governor is an admirer Of Mr..
Roosevelt, because he has 80 expressed
himself on more than one occasion,
though in a personal rather than in a
political sense. 1t is true that during
the Baltimore convention, when Will
sons chance of securing the nomina-
tion was so dark, the governor criti-
cised the political wisdom of his South
Carolina opponents in not endorsing
somebody who could win, and made 1t
clear that in his opinion there was
nothing behind it all but political pap.
He did not say anything against Will
son, politically or personally. Later at
Charleston, speaking to the convention
of Red Men, including representative
Republicans, he paid high tribute to
the character and ability Of Governor
Wilson and said that he would be elect
ed no matter who might be brought
against him. 1t Is true that outside Of
this. Governor Blease has not shown a
great deal Of public interest in the
fight, and some of the papers have
called attention to the alleged fact that
he has made no subscription to the
Wilson campaign fund. Whether he
really has made subscription, we do
not know, because under the circum-
stances 1t Is very easy for him to have
done so without any information of the
fact having gotten into the papers. But
if he has not made a subscription, we
are unable to see why he should be
criticised on that account. He has had
troubles of his own during the past few
months and also plenty of expense.
But that is not all, the political element
that has had charge of the Wilson
boom in this state from the beginning,
and which has charge Of 1t now, Is an
anti-Blease element, and in the event
of the election of Wilson, whether Gov
ernor Blease subscribes to the cam
paign fund or not, all the Federal pa
tronage in this state will be under the
direction and control of people who
will see to 1t that he has no say so. It
is all very nice to say that things like
this should have no place in the mat
ter and with the great bulk of the vot-
ers it is fact that they really have no
place; but when all the facts are
known it will usually be found that the
fellow who breaches this sentiment
does so to keep some other fellow from
getting what he is trying to get for
himself. But as we have already re-
marked, we are making no effort to
act as spokesman for Governor Blease
on this subject He has all along been
ly competent to speak for himself,
whenever he thinks proper but he
makes no hesitation about so doing.

Within THE IQWN

In its annual report to Presbytery
the Yorkville A. r. P. church gave in
the contributions Of the congregation
during the year for all purposes as
averaging $42.25 per capita.
At a meeting Of the town council
last Friday night it was decided to
bring the north and south road into
Yorkville by what is known as the
straight route. The town authorities
will meet the county authorities at the
corporate limits and come right on into
town.
In the case Of W. B. Stroup against
Newton Glenn and others, the clerk on
yesterday sold a tract of forty acres of
land in Kings Mountain township. The
only bid was by Mr.. Stroup, and the
land was knocked down to him for
SIS.
The carnival company arrived
Sunday night and Is quartered on the
Smith corner Of Congress and Jeffer-
son streets for a week. Quite large
crowd was out last night, considering
the fact that only few shows were in
operation; but the indications are that
everything will be in full swing tonight
and the numerous shows will continue
source of attraction during the week.
when asked as to what he thought
of the situation in the Balkan states,
Charles Coleman, Greek in the en-
ploy Of A. Leventis, the Greek confec-
toner of Yorkville, said in effect that
he thought his country, Greece and the
other Balkan countries were right in
the attitude they have taken. When
asked If he would return to Greece in
case of war he said: There are four
Greek men in this town. If Greece
fight. we all go home and help fight the
Turks. We believe we can whip them
now. We no go home unless we are
sure Greece fight Turkey. Then we go"
Coleman said that he thought most Of
the Grecian people in this country
would return to their native land in
case of war. Lots of Greek men in
this country and all Of them love
Greece; we sure fight II they need u.s."
He said that he did not look for any
real trouble just now but that 1t was
sure to come soon. 'Tf big countries let
US fight we sure whip Turkey. Turkey
men mean, very mean. Greeks no
like Turks anyway" he declared.

1t begins to- look as If the monied
men Of Sumter are directing their
wealth to the establishment of banks
all over the county, recently there

small banks convenient to those who
borrow cash to buy their supplies. In
a few years the old time method Of
furnishing supplies with a lien on the

During the past eight years, five ad-

There is strong sentiment that there
is room for still other banks. Although
this sentiment may be well founded,
we are not sure of it. We are inclined
to think that the field is pretty we'll
occupied for the present; but that 9TH
er banks may be established to advan-
tage later on We do not doubt.

It is stated that the Augusta and
Aiken trolley people insist that they
have nothing to arbitrate and for that
reason will not submit their difference
with their employees to board of ar
bitration. This quarrel is not our quar-
rel, and we have nothing to do with it;
but we cannot understand the attitude
of the trolley people. We are believers
in arbitration as the best and cheapest
way of settling differences. If it is a
fact that there is nothing to arbitrate
an honest and efficient board will so
find If it is given an opportunity. 1t
seems therefore, that the best way out
of the trouble would be to submit the
matter at once, lest the trouble wax
still more aggravated and finally de-
velop something that will be fit sub
ject for arbitration.

That is quite a modest beginning of
the Progressive party in South Caro-
lima. We have seen attempt after at
tempt looking to the launching of new
parties in South Carolina; but so far
each and every attempt has ended in
practical failure. and the chances are
that the same fate is in store for the
Bull Moose effort. But that will de-
pend in a measure on the fate Of the
party throughout the country in the
next election. No one has any
idea that the Bull Moosers will be able
to poll any considerable number of
votes for Roosevelt in the coming gen.
eral election; but if this party carries
a number of states it will be pretty apt
to become a factor in the political af-
fairs of the nation.

The reference to "one Ben Briggs" in
the controversy between Messrs. w. w.
Lewis and w. B. Wilson, Jr., may
probably be taken as setting at rest a
rumor that was in circulation about
Yorkville for several days after the
primary of August 81. AS the rumor
had 1t, after Briggs had voted for
Blease, his right to vote was questioned
and there was talk of issuing a war;
rant for his arrest. A Blease worker
heard of the matter, and stated that he
knew of several voters in identical cir
cumstances who had voted for Jones,
and declared that If Briggs was ar
rested he would swear out some addi-
tional warrants on his own account.
Whereupon, so went the rumor, talk Of
warrants, arrests, ETC., ceased. AS to
whether the alleged threats were made
on either side, we do not know, as we
have made no effort at investigation
and have nothing specific on the sub
ject further than statements that have
been published in this controversy.

That a strenuous effort will be made
to carry the court house bond election
next November is shown by the fact
that the people of Yorkville and other
points in western York are becoming
active. For some time the county seat
paper has mentioned the issue occa-
sionally, urging the people Of the
county to see that they had their reg
istration certificate and tax receipt so
they could vote either for or against
the measure in the general election.
Fridays issue of The Yorkville Enqui-
rer contains a report of a meeting held
in Yorkville to start the ball to rolling
i'm favor of the bond issue and an or
ganization has been formed for this
purpose. Rock Hill people do not be-
lieve there is the slightest chance for
the issue to carry, but in the face of
the organized effort being made in
western York all voters should be pre-
pared to express their sentiment by
voting for or against the bond issue
Rock Hill Herald.
We sincerely hope that all citizens
will express their sentiments on this
question at the ballot box; but really
we see no reason why the Herald
should allow itself to be disturbed.
This is a county rather than a local
question, and it seems to us that the
people of the eastern side should be
as much interested in having a credit
able court house as the people of the
northern, central. southern and west
ern sides. AS matter of fact, we
have been advised that many people
over on the eastern side really want a
new court house, and are not only
