WITHIN THE TOWN.

- There was a.big crowd. Of people
In town Saturday but trade was only
fairly good.
- Most Of the merchants have got
ten through with the task Of stock
taking.
In his annual report to the state
board of education, Prof. Hand gave
the Yorkville High School credit for
an enrolment Of only 65. This was
evidently an error as the Yorkville
High School should have been credit
ed with an enrolment Of 80.
There was quite a large number of
people in Yorkville yesterday, almost,
If not quite as many as If 1t was sales
day, which it was not. The crowd in
cluded many horse-traders who came
to do business as usual, but who really
did very little. The folks did not seem
to be in much of q humor to trade.
The county board Of registration met
as usual; but did practically nothing.
The county pension board met and was
busy for several hours.
Mr.. W. E. DuPre Of Gaffney on
yesterday assumed charge Of the wa
ter, light and power departments Of
the town. Of Yorkville, vice Mr.. John

Governor Blease has written a let
ter to Treasurer R. H. Jennings re-
monstrating with him for\giving out
information to the newspapers show
ing the slowness with which tax mon
ey Is coming in. The governor takes
the position that just now while the
state is desiring to refund some bonds
such information is calculated to have
bad effect Somehow we do not see
it that way. We know very we'll that
the state of South Carolina can and
will pay her obligations. and we know
that there is no significance to the
slow tax receipts other than that peo-
pie like to put off the evil day of tax
paying time as long as they can. 1t
has ever been so and it will ever be so.
But so far as the effect on bondhold-
erS in concerned Capt. Jennings infor-
nation cannot be bad. No class of
people appreciates frank dealing more
than the class that has money to in
vest in bonds and no class is more diff
ficult to deceive. If the newspapers do
not print the information they want
they will take more trouble and get
that information otherwise. If they
cannot get the information in any
way. then they will not invest. and
that Is all there is of it, We do not
know of a way whereby State Treas
urer Jennings can do the public credit
more good than by dealing frankly
with the public.

The Newberry Herald and News OF
last Friday prints the reasons thai
Governor Blease will give the genera
assembly for pardoning G. Wash Hun
ter. convicted of manslaughter after
being tried for the murder of Elbert
F. Copeland Of Laurens. We regret
that we have not the space in which
to print the governors reasons in full
for they are very interesting. While
are inclined to believe that the
manslaughter verdict rendered against
Hunter was correct, and that he
should have been punished. We are
nevertheless impressed with the rea-
sons given by Governor 3lease for set.
ting Hunter at liberty. In brief, the
reasons are that Hunter did not have
fair deal at the hands Of the su-
preme court. Such statement would
not be entitled to much respect ordi-
narily, and at no time would 1t be en-
titled to respect on the mere declara'
ton of any man whether he be gov
ernor or only private citizen; but with
the official records in evidence, the
matter is different Governor Blease
submits the following:
In delivering the opinion Of the
state supreme court, and l beg you tt
very carefully observe the words quot
ed here, Mr.. Justice Woods said:
The contention that the judgment
/ u h.
does not show that the grand jury
had found true bill, requires no fur.
ther notice than to say that no such
position was taken in the circui,
court, and, therefore, can not be con-
sidered on appeal SO S. E. Rep.
page $50.
THAT opinion was delivered Febru.
ary 23, 1909. July 10, 1909, the same
judge, writing the opinion in the case
Of the state against Lazarus, said:..
Under this exception to the rule
II must be held that where the law re-
quires the presentment Of the grand
jury as a condition precedent to the
trial of the crime, the grand jury Is
the constituent part Of the court, and
without its presentment the court has
no Jurisdiction of the cause; hence, an
appellate court will declare void a
COnNlCllOIl ODlbllcu III SuCl SeISSE
without the presentmept Of the, grand
jury for lack of, jurisdiction Of the
subject matter In the trial courts.
In such cases this very lack of juris-
diction. in the trial court, will declare
the conviction Of no effect even where
the point Is not made in the trial
courts
Now, by reading the two decisions
of this very distinguished, conscien-
tious and Christian judge, you will see
that in the Hunter case he says re-
quires no further notice than to say
that no such position was taken In
the circuit courts.
I'm the Lazarus case he says, will
declare the conviction Of no effect
even where the point Is not made In
the trial courts
"Now, why Is it that in the Hunter
case. what has been the law Of thi:
country ever since the Declaration OF
independence must be set aside, and
in the Lazarus case, only few weeks
later, he returns to that we'll establish
ed old principle of law and declares
what Is and has been the law-namely
that the question Of jurisdiction can be
raised at any time, even In the su-
preme court?"

The Rock Hill Fertilizer Co. has an
interesting announcement to the farm
ers of York county in The Enquirer
of today. The company, of which Mr..
r. T. Fewell Is president, has inaugur-
ated a vigorous educational campaign
among the farmers around them, and
proposes to fertilize the soil right here
at home. The advantage of such an
arrangement to all parties Is obvious.
The company understands that 1t must
deliver the goods to get the business.
and the farmers can readily see that
If ground for complaint should arrive
they will not have to go far for salts
faction. 1t Is fact that this company
has been showing very liberal and
intelligent interest in the fertilization
problems of the farmers, and 1t Is
ing of increasing activity.
Our old friend, r. M. Wallace Of
Clark's Fork, was in Yorkville yester-
day, in attendance at the regular

erything is all right. The people. out
my way all had a good, enjoyable time
during the holidays, everybody had
plenty to eat there were no deaths, no
sickness of any consequence, no drunk
enness or other bad behavior, and just
nothing that you. could call bad. For
my own part. I have good health,
enough money to pay for The Enquirer
for another year and little more, and
II there Is anything for me to complain
about I do not know It." People who
may be looking for the man with a
sour said about somebody, will do well
to steer clear of Uncle Bob" -
7LIt 10 with a considerable measure
of regret that a majority of the people
Of Yorkville give up Messrs. John g..
Barnwell and Charles H.. Berry, who
have had charge of Yorkville's water,
light and power departments. Mr.,
Barnwell Is a Clemson man, and came
to Yorkville shortly after graduating
from Clemson as an electrical en-
gineer. His management Of this busi-
ness of the water, light and power de-
partments has been all that could be
desired. He has been faithful, eff
ficient, accommodating, frank and
open in all his dealings, and has ma
turally won the respect and esteem OF
all with whom he has come In con-
tact. Mr.. Berry Is Yorkville boy,
born and reared here. He acquired his
knowledge of electrical engineering
principally under the instruction Of
Mr.. Barnwell, and he acquired this
knowledge we'll. He Is no less
efficient, frank, open or manly than his
chief, and his position in the conf
dence and esteem of the. people OF
Yorkville is just as high. Both are
men who know how to deliver the goods
in their respective lines, and both are
gentlemen, high-toned, good-natured
and clean. Rock Hill or any other
town may we'll have cause for CON-
graduation in securing their services.

and now that we have something tan
OF course there will be opposition
from various sources. There will
be opposition on the ground Of
alleged paternalism; there will be
opposition on the ground Of ig-
norance; there will be opposition on
the ground of politics and there will
be opposition on the ground Of interest.
Anybody can understand that even If
this proposed plan is to be an assured
success, it must necessarily overturn
the established order of things, and the
established order Of things is not al
ways perfectly ready and willing to
be overturned even for the public BEN
eft. But If we are going to have a
warehouse system, why not have a
warehouse system right, with the whole
state behind it, and the whole state
getting the benefit. AS we see 1t, the
bill does not ask the state or anybody
else to give the cotton producers any
thing. 1t merely asks that the cotton
producers have the benefit Of the state
credit, which Is based in such large
measure on the values created by these
same cotton producers. But here Is
the bill Representative Mcqueen will
no doubt put 1t up to the general as
sembly and that body will either pass
it as 1t stands, amend 1t where 1t ap-
pears to need amendment or let the
whole thing drop. However, what
ever the legislature may do, the end is
not yet This problem of how best to
finance the cotton crop still cries for
solution and 1t is going to continue
with US until it is settled and settled

1912.

Here we are at the beginning OF a
new year. which began yesterday, and
which is now fairly on It's way.
There has been a good deal of talk
Of hard times this fall; but no more
than usual for the simple reason that
there has always been as much as
there could have been.
1t is fact that money has been
rather scarce this fall and winter. and
it is fact that the people are not as
flush of cash as they would like to be,
but so far as the times being hard is
concerned. that is bosh.
While cotton is much lower than
was expected and much lower than we
would like to see it, still the country as
a whole is not hurting. for among
other things the corn cribs are well
stocked and If the smokehouses are
not full it is because the thousands of
hogs have been allowed to remain in
the pens and barnyards against the
time when they are needed in the
smokehouses.
OF course it is not to be denied that
some have been unfortunate and fail
ed to make both ends meet as the re-
suit of the last years. work and while
that is regrettable in the\case Of each
one Of such individually and, all sever
ally. we do not think that there Is
much doubt of the fact that the state
as a whole. and this county especially,
is in better shape than 1t has eveI been
at the beginning of any previous year
since the war.
Those however, who insist that the
year just closed Mas not a good Cne
will do we'll to take encourageme,. t
from the commonly accepted belle
that it is an uncommon thing to have.
two bad years in succession, and that
If they will go in after the present
year in the right way it is bound to be
a good one.
There are portions of the state that
have been harder hit this year than
has this portion. The portions where
they nave Deen nit the ndrueSl are lHe
portions in which they devote their al
most entire attention to cotton. and
where they have raised no corn or
meat. These portions of the state how
ever. made a very nice thing of 1t last
year, and this year are only experience
ing an evening up which though not at
all acceptable to them, Is as sure, as
certain and as logical as the succeed
ing of one year by another.
What our people should do. and
what we hope they will do, is to lose
no time in bewailing hard times. real
or imaginary; but to make careful re-
view of the operations of the year just
past and try TO correct this year all
the mistakes that we made last year.
So far as the seasons and the wealth
er are concerned during this year. we
can have no more control over them
than in the past; but Of that there is

Now, after all this talk, we have it.
Representative Mcqueen of Marlboro
county, has gotten Hon. John L. Nc
Laurin to prepare a bill embodying a
cotton valuation plan, and the pre-
sumption is that the bill will be intro
duced at the next session of the gen.
eral assembly. The text of the bill,
with the correspondence accompanying
it. is reproduced from the News and
Courier in The Enquirer Of today. The
question now is, what will the general
assembly do? That the proposition
appeals to new ideas in South Carolina
legislation must at once be admitted;
but we hope it will not be at once con-
demned on that account. The people
of the state have been thinking and
along this very line for years,
