If that war in the Balkans spreads to
the whole of Europe as 1t easily can
do, the concern Of the people Of the
south will amount to considerably more
than news Of battles and the like. With
all the great powers fighting for the in
tegrity of their respective territorial
boundaries, and in some instances for
their future existence, commercial ac-
tivity will disappear for the time being,
the demand for cotton will fall off and
instead there will be still greater de-
mand for foodstuffs and higher prices
will prevail. From one standpoint
maybe it will be acceptable to have
Europe paying all kinds of prices for
our foodstuffs; but from another
standpoint it will be calamity rather
than a blessing, because our own people
will be compelled to pay these prices
also, and to many it seems that the
limit has been reached already.

The Enquirer's information Is that
the cotton mill workers did not turn
out to last Tuesdays election in this
county except at Clover. Very few
mill workers voted in Rock Hill, Fort
Mill, or Yorkville. The No. 2 box in
Yorkville, commonly referred to as the
cotton mill box, gave Lyon slight ma
jority and the No. 1 box in which no
mill employees vote, gave its majority
to Peoples.
"My last visit to Yorkville was in
April, 1867, when spent one night here
with Brother William. I was on my
way to join my regiment" The speak
er was Mr.. Joseph M. McCorkle, a half
brother Of the late Col. VIM. H. Nc
Corkle, who has been spending a. few
days in York county, principally In
Ebenezer and Fort Mill townships, with
relatives and friends and who was
born on a farm in Ebenezer, which is
now inside the city limits Of Rock Hill,
in 1882. His father moved from York
county in 1845. and located in Missis-
sippi; In which state the son lived for
more than forty years. Mr.. McCorkle
spent two nights and one day with
relatives here, being the guest Of his
nephew, Mr.. r. r. McCorkle. and left
for his home in Mckenzie, Tennessee,
on Wednesday morning, after being
away from there about week. Mr..
McCorkle is a we'll preserved man and
an exceptionally interesting conversa-
tionalist. He said he had always been
Democrat, but had voted for Gov
ernor Hooper two years ago, that he
had made good and that he would vote
for him again this year and believed
he would be reelected. "

The Yorkville- Hickory Grove high
school football game failed to come of
Tuesday evening as scheduled. tO.
some reason or other the Hickory
Grove squad failed to show up in York
vile. The local eleven went to Rock
Hill this morning where they play the
school team of that place this after
noon. The Yorkville lads have been
practicing hard every afternoon this
week and the Rock Hill boys have
doubtless been working as hard. Each
team seems to have 1t in" for the
other, and the game this afternoon
will likely be hard fought and inter-
esting.
- The Boston Red Sox of the Ameri-

of the National league in ten inning
game Wednesday afternoon, the score
being 80. The Giants won Tuesdays s
game by a score Of II to and the
game Wednesday settled the cham
pionship question. Local admirers OF
the Red Sox club are saying, Il knew
all the time we were going to win,
while the Giants hackers are firm In
the belief that You couldn't do II

of interest on the part Of the local
fans on account Of the games.

TUESDAYS PRIMARY.
Returns Reported Up to Yesterday In.
dicate Nomination of Peoples.

Because of the general apathy over
the state, it has been impractical tc
collect complete returns from Tues
days election for attorney general. but
enough is known to make 1t certain
that Mr.. Thomas H. Peoples has been
nominated over Mr.. J. Fraser Lyon by
a majority of about 5000.
The Columbia State Of this morning
has complete returns from thirty coun-
ties and scattering returns from the
other counties These returns account
for total Of 53S04 votes, Of which Ly-
on received 24,524 and Peoples 29,2S0
The general apathy that prevailed Is
further emphasized by the large num-
ber of precincts at which there was no
election at all. While York had only
one such precinct, Laurens had 4; Hor-
~ had 13, Saluda had II, Williamsburg
had a. number, Lancaster had 16; Ker-
shaw had s or 10; Lexington had
many" Spartanburg had Is; Green
Vile had 1S: Chester had 4 and An
derson 8. There were perhaps others
in other counties.
The State reports that the county
committees failed to meet in number
Of counties yesterday because OF in
ability to muster quoroms, and these
meetings will probably not be held un-
til today.

"The Soldier-Bishop, Ellison Cap
ers," is the title of a handsome volume
that has just come to hand. The au-
thor is the Rev. Walter B. Capers, a
son of the late lamented Ellison Capers,
and it tells the life story of that dis
tinguished divine in way that will
please and interest the thousands who
knew and loved him. In this volume
the late Soldier Bishops son follows
the career of his brilliant father from
the cradle to the grave, using his
fathers own Journal without revis-
ion wherever possible and supple
menting the records of his birthday
and professional life with extracts
from public documents. Educated at
Arsenal academy, and holding a pro-
fessorship there when the war of the
states commenced, he gave up his
bomb proof position for active SER
vice. He took part in the initial maneu-
vers preceding the bombardment of
Fort Sumter; commanded light
battery on Sullivan's Island; fought at
Secessionville; particularly distingu-
ished himself as lieutenant colonel
commanding the oath S. C. Vols, at the
battle of Jackson, Miss; was wounded
t Chickamauga, and promoted to
brigadier- general at Franklin, when
Gen. Gist fell. He was at Dalton, and
at Jonesboro; he was with Generals
Hood and Joseph E Johnston in the
strenuous campaigns of the army of
Tennessee. And he was always in the
thick of the fighting. To the many
thousands to whom his life was an in
spiration this fine biography will be
most welcome news. A noble life is
here recorded, a life remarkable in its
peace, it's serenity, it's symetry, its
rounded spiritual development; life
full of dignties and responsibility, yet
simple and happy as child's. The work
of Ellison Capers, as soldier, educator,
and churchman, is today an integral
part of American life. There are 367
pages of the book. 1t is printed in
large clear type, and bound in purple
cloth. The Neale Publishing Co, New
York, 50, 20 cents for postage.

Nothing is so natural as the cues

Nothing is so natural as the ques-
ton as to what would induce a man
like that fellow John Schrank to try to
kill a man like Col. Roosevelt. "Is he
an anarchist" Is he crazy?" What
on earth could possess a man to do
such deed?" But the correct answer
how are we to find it? Probably II
might be just as we'll to give thought
full consideration to what Col. Roose-
welt said when after the shooting he
stood up and discussed this very mat
ter while still in doubt as to the prob
able consequences of the big 3S calibre
bullet by which he had just been
struck. He said that men could be
stirred more deeply by politics than by
any other one consideration save jeal-
ousy. That this act may have been in
fiuenced by some of the cartoons or
some Of the charges or reckless state
ments Of the opposition he did not
doubt. 1t is quite possible that Col
Roosevelt had the situation sized up
correctly; but he seems to have lost
sight of the fact that he also has been
dealing in some pretty hot stuff him
self, and it is just as likely that the
things he has said against his oppo-
nents has put murder in the heart of
some weak-minded ILL balanced fool
as that his own misfortune is the re-
suit Of similar things said by his op-
ponents or their friends. But however
this may be, it is nevertheless true
politics is a dangerous thing: 1t is true
that politics make men lose their rea-
son and say things they should not say
sometimes because they think those
things are true, and ought to be said
and sometimes because they think
that regardless of whether they are
true or not they will accomplish cer-
tain results. Ordinarily fool and i'm
prudent sayings have no effect upon
the public as a whole; but frequently
an imprudent thing that does not af-
feet the public has a harmful effect
upon some individual with just such
tragic results as have developed in
this case

The sentiment expressed by Mr..
John Anderson in his letter to the
court house committee, published at
his request today, is very different
from that which characterized the let
ter that was published Tuesday from
Mr.. James S. White; but that Mr.. An
derson's sentiment also finds consid-
erable endorsement, we do not doubt.
The idea that the town Of Yorkville
should make a special donation to the
court house has many endorsers in
different localities, and we do not hesi-
tate to say that there is some just
foundation for it. We believe also that
II it were not for the fact that the
town is already bonded to the consti-
tutional limit, a proposition to donate
something like $4,000 toward the pro-
endorsement of a majority Of the quail
fled voters. But as matters stand now
there Is no hope Of such bonus as
Mr.. Anderson suggests, unless 1t be
raised by private subscription, and as
there are so few people in Yorkville In
Mr.. Anderson's class financially, we
see little hope on that score. We are
glad to see that notwithstanding his
willingness to contribute $4,000 per-
sonally and his assurance that Rock
Hill would furnish the whole amount
necessary for the proposed new build
ing, Mr.. Anderson does not care to see
the court house moved to his town.
We take it that his preference on this
question grows largely out Of a sense of
consideration Of the many people who
would be inconvenieced at having the
county seat removed still further from
their reach, for after all in a matter
like this the principal concern should
be the greatest good to the greatest
number. But while Mr.. Anderson's
tentative offer is quite generous and
while maybe Yorkville should give a
liberal bonus, still we do not see that
either Of these side matters should be
allowed to divert attention from the
main question, that the county is in
need of a roomy, substantial building,
that the only way of supplying this
need lies through the voting of the
bonds as provided in the act, and that
If the bond issue fails 1t will be a long
time before there Is any material relief
from present conditions.

that several more days will be requir-
ed before it can be seen If the wound
is to be healed without suppuration.
Present day sportsmen hunt grizzly
bears with weapons Of less caliber
than the 3S revolver with which the
heavy lead bullet was fired into the
colonel. The usual caliber for big
game is 35 and the colonel has killed
lions in Africa with smaller bullets
than that in his chest. Such a bullet
would drop an elk In its tracks or
knock a black bear off his feet. That
he could stand up and make a speech
with a 3S-caliber bullet fiattened
against one of his ribs Is admitted by
the surgeons to be remarkable.

for the purpose Of tabulating the re-

that at one precinct, Forest Hill, there
was no election. The total vote in the
county was 1,575, Of which Mr.. Peoples
received a majority Of 81. The vote by

Chicago dispatch. The bullet is shown
partly imbedded in the fracture in the
fourth rib, about four inches from the
sternum. The bullet is much flattened
and spread out Of shape. 1t is crushed
into the upper edge of the rib. Several
smaller pieces of bone project near it.
The radiograph shows an extraordi-
nary spread and arch to the uninjured
ribs, indicating the unusual size of
the coloners lungs and developments
Of chest. The position of the bullet is
at the lower corner Of a right tangled
triangle, the apex of which is in the
middle Of the sternum, perpendicularly
opposite the missile, and the other cor
ner of which is the suprasternal notch.
Wires laid on Colonel RooSevelt's bare
chest to form a guiding line on the
plate show the exact location of the
bullet with reference to the ribs and
sternum. The surgeons in charge of
the case from the first have refused to
say whether the flesh was lacerated in
the passage of the bullet. No informa-
ton on this point can be obtained
from the skiagraph. Gunshot wounds
inflicted by soft lead bullets such as
that fired by Schrank into the body of
Colonel Roosevelt commonly are lace
rated and much confused. Asked to-
night when the radiograph was finish
ed if the wound was lacerated, DR.. Ter
rell, who had been left in charge by
DR.. Murphy and DR.. Bevan said: This
is a point on which we nave given no
statement and will not give any at
present. l cannot say anything as to
the character of the wound. The bull
let ranged inward and up after it
struck the colonel right beside the nip
pie on his right breast" Doctor Ter
rell said Its course probably was
affected by the objects through which
it passed. The radiograph does not
clearly show its exact shape at pres
ent." According to examinations the
bullet is from four to five inches be-
low the surface and in reaching its
present position made a slanting wound
from six to seven inches long. 1t will
not be necessary to set Colonel Roose-
velt's fractured rib or put him in a
plaster of paris bandage, according to
Doctor Terrell. Fractures of the rib
seldom are set unless the bone is out
of place." said Doctor Terrell, this
one is not extensive enough to call for
treatment of that sort" 1t is stated
