The r. =. D. Service.

Observant people who keep track Of
such matters have not failed to be
impressed with the remarkable devel-
opment of the rural free delivery SER
vice since it's establishment in this
county about a dozen years ago, and
it is not surprising either that many
of them should be speculating as to
the possibilities Of the near future.
AS originally established, the SER
vice was not particularly ambitious.
The carriers were allowed about ten
dollars a week out Of which they had
to pay all expenses including horse
hire, and really the job was one that
was possessed of but few attractions to
people who could find anything else to
do. But by degrees the responsibility
and the efficiency of the service has
been increased, the work required of
them has been more than doubled,
and now the pay of about $1,000 a
year they receive still seems small.
But the most interesting thing about
this department Of public service Is
the possibilities of it's further devel-
opment. If the benefits Of the parcels
post system alone were fully appreci-
ated on all the routes, even at this
time the present work Of the carriers
would be doubled, and as it is practi-
cally certain that these benefits will
eventually assert themselves, there
seems to be no extravaganza in the
idea that before many years two men
will be required to handle the mail on
some of the routes in this county.

and although II has not been practl-
cable to get an accurate estimate as to
the probable extent Of the fire loss, 1t
was hardly less than $4,000 or $2O.-
900 most Of which is probably covered
by insurance.
Several hundred tons of cotton seed
meal in the store room Of the mill
were saved without being subject to
damage except that some Of it was
slightly wetted. The meal was remov-
ed in the fear that it would be burned; /;
but later it was replaced in the room
from which It was taken.
The Victor Oil mill Is generally
reckoned as being one of the best
managed and most prosperous indus
trial establishments in Yorkville, and
that 1t will be rebuilt at once Is a
practical certainty, though as 1t will
be impossible to get things in shape to
handle any portion Of the remainder
of the present seed crop, 1t may be
that rebuilding operations will not be
commenced until next spring.

Public sentiment against carnivals
in Greenwood has been very strong
for number of years, but we are safe
in stating that at the present time 1t
is stronger than it has ever been. In
deed, 1t has reached the point where 1t
may be said to be intense.
How the gates of Greenwood were
ever opened to q carnival is question
that no one seems to be able to answer.
We trust that the newspapers or the
country will let it be known that
Greenwood Is not in the class ol
towns that favor carnivals. 1t Is just
to her citizens that these facts should
be known.-Greenwood Journal.
Yes. carnivals are a nuisance, a
most expensive nuisance and the best
sentiment of every town in the state
is against them; but the question is,
Is that best sentiment strong enough
to hold the carnivals down? Most mu-
inequalities are hard run for money,
and with many even the small license
fee that can be eXacted from a carni-
val is a tempting consideration. If the
town governments had jurisdiction
over carnivals to the extent Of giving
or denying permission to operate; but
without power to exact license tax,
the carnival would soon become en-
tinct. There is not a municipal gov
ernment in the state that would stand
for the carnival business except cE
account of the little tax involved.

and the secretary announces his inten-
ton to ask for authority to prepare
amendments for the pure food law TO
improve the food supply, protect the
public health and promote uniformity
in food legislation. Free distribution
of seeds by congressman should be
discontinued, the secretary recon-
mends. He would conduct in its stead
a constructive work in securing and
distributing new seeds and plants.
Conditions vary widely in the United
States, says the report, because farm
ers do not equally need better credit
arrangements and al! sections are not
similarly circumstanced. 1t contends
that when all necessary allowance has
been made for fundamental factors 1t
is probably clear that the rural COM
munities are not as efficiently served
as they should be by existing financi-
al arrangements. The secretary be-
lieyes there does not appear to be
need for unique or special legislation
or for leris,ation which shall aim to
give the farmer credit On easier terms
than other members OF society. What
Is needed is the creation of conditions
and machinery which shall enable
him on similar credit foundations to
secure money at the same rates as
those that prevail for other classes
and for other sections.

AEoorsTEPs OF THE FATHERS"

The Enquirer Is in receipt Of very
much appreciated letter from an old
subscriber in Rock Hill most heartily
commencing the matter we have been
running on the first page for some
weeks past under the heading OF
Footsteps of the Fathers" and al
though for reasons that are entirely
satisfactory, the writer did not care
to have his name used, we will take
the liberty of reproducing the sub
stance Of the letter, taking away
little that is of no special concern to
the public and adding nothing:
81 know this will be a surprise; but
I want to let you know how mucn
enjoy reading, The Footsteps Of the
Fathers now being published In The
Enquirer. I am getting much pleasure
in being able to read Of things that
happened away back when I was only
about IL years old. Some OF the per-
sons mentioned are unknown to me
except as I have heard my father
speak of them, and many others I be-
came acquainted with after 1856. The
Enquirer is the first paper I ever read
and I have continued to read 1t until
the present, except when prevented by
unavoidable circumstances. 1t pub
lished my going into the service Of the
Confederacy. 1t published my marri-
age after the war, and contained no
tice of the death Of my father. 1t has
also in the years gone by contained
many other notices and articles OF pc
culiar personal interest-some good,
some sacred and some pleasant AL
low me to wish the old Enquirer many
more days Of prosperity and continued
usefulness"

II congress passes the right kind


rural credit bill, farm conditions
will be very much improved.
The temperature has dropped since
Saturday from fairly cool to bitter
cold, and the weather bureau at
Washington reports the same condi-
tions throughout the country.
Mr.. Ira Hardin, of Blacksburg was
in Yorkville yesterday and on being
asked as to the location of Smiths
old field" spoken Of in Footsteps Of
the Fathers" said 1t was somewhere
between Smyrna and Broad river:
but as he had not been there for more
than fifty years he. could not remems
ber the exact location. Il can tell you,
though, 1t was beautiful place. 1t was
what was known as the general mus
ter ground. There were musters of
the various companies at their re-
spective muster grounds four times a
year, and then there was annual mus
ter Of all the troops generally at
Smiths Old Field. The men would
do some drilling. pass in review, listen
to speeches from the officers, eat din
ner that they would bring with them
and in the afternoon have footraces,
wrestling matches, fist-fghts and the
like. There was always plenty of H.
quor on hand on these occasions"
The Ladies' Aid society of the
Methodist church are to have their
room of the Nichols new building on
East Liberty street next Friday, and
of course as usual the bazaar will be
most successful and enjoyable affair.
But in this connection there has de-
veloped a pretty good joke on some
body, and some people might think the
joke on Rev. Henry Stokes; but 1t Is
not. 1t seems that in connection with
his announcements during the service
of last Sunday morning, Rev. Henry
Stokes stated, that "one Of the papers
had advertised the annual bazaar to
be given in the second story of the
Adickes building; but this was a mis-
take as also was the date as publish
ed. The bazaar Is to be held in the
vacant store room in the Nichols new
building and the date is next Friday"
After making the announcement Mr..
Stokes looked over the congregation
and asked If that was correct. He
noticed a number Of smiles but the
party who had given him the informa-
tion nodded approvingly, and he let il
go at that. After the service one of
the members went to Rev. Stokes and
explained that the error" he cor
rected was one of the notes that The
Enquirer was printing from its files
of 1856, under the heading Footsteps
of the Fathers" Mr.. Stokes had a
good laugh, and as the result of the
incident the bazaar of next Friday, al
| ready well advertised, is being adver-
tised still better.

ACCIDENTAL HOMICIDE
Attorney General Peoples Kills Negro
Cook in Columbia.

Attorney General Thos. H. Peoples
killed Robert Marshall the negro cook
at the Elks club in Columbia last Sat-
urday night. The killing was done
with an old As Colt revolver and was
purely accidental.
The first news of the tragedy was
sent out Saturday night and was pub
lished in the papers Of Sunday morn
ing There was no intimation of any
thing but a lamentable accident and
such details as went out were fully
corroborated at the coroner's inquest
which was held on Sunday.
1t appears that as Mr.. Peoples was
walking around the club counter with
the intention of putting the revolver
in a place Of safety, Capt. j. H. Wea-
ver q conductor on the Southern and
a personal friend Of Mr.. Peoples, ask
ed Mr.. Peoples to be allowed to see the
weapon. Mr.. Peoples attempted to
hand it over, and as he did so 1t was
discharged, probably from the ham
mer striking the club counter. Mar
SHALL the cook was standing near, and
the bullet took effect in his head, pro-
ducing a wound from which he died In
a few minutes.
Mr.. Peoples was naturally very
much distressed at. the accident, ex-
done?" He stated that he felt like
blowing his own brains out, and in his
emotion he wept bitterly. Sheriff Nc
Cain was notified and on reaching the
scene formerly took Mr.. Peoples into
custody, but because of the fact that
there was no reasonable doubt Of the
circumstances, did not take him to
Jail. Instead it was arranged that the
distressed man spend the night at the
governors mansion in charge OF a
constable.
At the inquest, Mr.. Peoples explain
ed that on Saturday his mother had
made a trip to Lexington with her
brother, and that as the return was
to be made with strange chauf-
feur, he had placed the pistol in the
car for the use of his mother in case 1t
might be necessary for her protection.
After his mother returned, Mr.. Pee
pies went to the Elks club at about 10
o'clock with the pistol still in the car.
Not caring to keep the pistol in the
car he decided to leave it at the club,
and his friend seeing 1t in his hand
asked permission to examine 1t, his
curiosity being excited by the fact that
the weapon was of old time pattern.
Mr. Peoples undertook to hand the
pistol to his friend and as he did so
the hammer probably struck on the
club counter causing the discharge.
At the coroner's inquest, Mr.. Pee
pies was represented by Assistant At
torney General Dominick and the
state was represented by Solicitor
Cobb. All of the witnesses including
brother of the dead man, were
agreed as to the facts of the killing,
and the jury of inquest rendered a
verdict accordingly. Mr.. Peoples,
however, was bound over for trial at
the approaching term Of the court of
general sessions which convenes in
January.
