Several bloodhounds are kept at
the York county stockade for the pur-
pose Of running down escaping con-
victs and among them are a pair of
pups" that give promise Of becoming
decidedly useful.
"These pups" said an official who
was talking to the reporter about them
a few days ago, will come pretty near
giving a good account Of themselves
with anything like a fair showing.
What mean by q fair showing is
that II you can strike the trail Of the
man you want to follow within two
hours or such a matter, and be sure
that you have the right trial, those
dogs will certainly make the man do
some running to get away from them.
But, Of course, If you are not sure
the tracks you are going to follow
were made by the man you want, you
do not stand much Of a show"
In the training Of the bloodhounds
1t Is customary to use trusty convicts,
and there are at present two young
negroes on the gang who with an
hours start, can actually run the dogs
down. They have done 1t several times,
kept ahead Of the dogs 80 far and run
80 fast that they have brought the
dogs back to camp utterly exhausted
and practically unable to do another
half miles.

1t within their ability to greatly ham,
per the government when they see fit,
and make the entire country stand
around. The Aldrich idea was to place
the currency. of the country within
the control of the banks, and by
means of system of Capitalization
put things in such shape as would
make 1t comparatively easy to make
such a combination Of financiers as is
now known to exist, simply all pow
erful. The Wilson idea seems to be
to distribute control Of the currency
among regional banks located in diff
ferent parts of the country, and all
under the general direction Of the gov
ernment. But as to what Is to be
made the basis of the proposed cur
rency system, whether gold alone, or
gold in connection with re-discount-
ed paper, has not yet been made clear.
Some generally recognized authorities
are holding that gold alone should be
the basis Of all circulation, and others
are holding that the best system of
fiexibility can be obtained through an
Arrangement that will permit regional
banES 10 re-ulScount tne paper OF IN
dividual banks by the issuance there
on of currency that will be retired as
the rediscounted paper Is taken up. It
was announced some time back that
President Wilson would probably send
to congress q message on the curren-
cy question today; but as to whether
he will indicate clearly just what sys-
tenn he favors or content himself with
declaration of general principles,
will be best understood when the mes
sage appears. However there seems
to be no good ground for holding that
the country Is not In need of a radical
reform Of its present wretched cur
rency system.

What congress Is going to do about
currency reform or rather what kind
of bill it Is going to adopt, no one can
predict with any degree Of certainty
Ignorance Of the currency question is
not confined to the newspapers and
the public. There are very few con-
gressmen who know a great deal
about the matter, and such bill as may
eventually be passed Is likely to be
the work of experts who have made
the subject the study of lifetime.
There are those who would put the
control of the currency in the hands
of the national banks, which Is to a
large extent the case now, and there
are those who think that the regula-
ton of the currency supply should be
function of the government In
short, the main question is whether
money, the life blood of commerce,
and consequently the key to the DOM
milton of the commercial, political
and even the social life of the nation,
should be controlled by individuals re-
sponsible alone to their own notions
of right or by the government as such
At present the circulation Of the coun-
try Is jointly controlled by the gov
ernment and a powerful combination
of individuals, the individuals having

prices on the stock exchange at new
low levels. Sales of securities at auc-
tion also reflected the pressure. The
headlong lengths. to which the declines
ran and the character Of some Of the
securities affected indicated a closing
out of collateral on forced sales. 1t
was evident that overloaded under
writer's. especially in London, were
resorting to sales of seasoned securi-
ties to protect their subscription to
unsaleable new issues. Factors Of de-
preston prior to the New York mar
ket lost none Of their forces. San
Francisco added to the disfavor Of the
foreign markets for American securi-
ties. The alternative plans for disso-
luton proposed by the Union Pacific
were met with feeling OF disappoint-
ment. An extensive curtailment OF
production of pig iron for June was
reported, after a record May output
The copper market also was unsettled
The May record Of business failures
were larger in number than since
1908 and greater in amount than for
ten years. Decline to customs receipts
showed the inclination Of business to
mark time to await the tariff revision
Commission houses reported an in
vestment demand for stocks which
showed corrective forces at work.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1913-06-10

A report that the administration
had decided to go after the American
tobacco trust with a graduated tax on
output, created a scare in Wall street
last week and the scare extended pret-
ty we'll over the country. The idea is
said to have originated with Attorney
General McReynolds in response to a
complaint from Independent tobacco
manufacturers to the effect that they
could no longer exist in competition
with the trusts. The attorney general
sees very clearly that how by means
of a progressive tax that will mean a
clean up at certain point, all the
trusts can be put out Of business. The
administration, however, has given
out that this is merely the individual
idea Of Mr.. McReynolds. and there Is
no serious purpose to put 1t into ef-
feet. The understanding is that the
trusts are to be handled; but by some
other means less drastic. ......

1t is very much the same with the
Battle Of Kings Mountain, where the
site and that only has to do with our
neighbor state, Kings Mountain, N. G.
however holds the celebrations and
intends to hold q particularly fine one
next fall.-Charlotte Observer
We are not going to quarrel much
about this; but we submit that it is
not altogether fair. The site Of the
battle Of Kings Mountain was, of
course altogether matter Of accident
and we would not claim much on that
account. But it is a fact not gener-
ally understood by the world at large,
that South Carolina furnished a con-
siderably larger proportion Of the men
who won the battle than is commonly
supposed. Col. Williams was a South
Carolinian as were most Of his men.
Edward Lacey was a South Carolinian
as were most Of his men, and a con-
siderable per centage Of those brave
fellows who came from Tennessee
were South Carolinians who had TAX
en- refuge beyond the mountains only
until such time as they could find op-
portunity to strike q blow that would
tell. We do not want to be unfair in
this matter, nor are we willing to make
any false claims. We are willing to
accord to our North Carolina friends
all the credit to which they are enti-
tied and they are entitled to not lit
tie. 1t is quite possible that they
could have secured the location OF
the battle monument at the town OF
Kings Mountain just as the Spartan
burg people had the Cowpens monu-
ment (statue Of Morgan), paid for by
the national " government, located
there, and they deserve credit for not
doing so. We can hardly blame the
people of Kings Mountain for having
celebrations there on the strength of
the battle. 1t is in full accord with
the commercialism Of the age and
other people do It; but our sentiment
Is that Kings Mountain battle celebra-
tions would be more properly held on
Kings Mountain battle-ground. With
1t all, however, we will have to admit
that this paragraph from the Observ-
er, has a certain bearing on conditions
as they have developed in connection
with Kings Mountain:
The battle Of Bennington was not
fought at or very near the town whose
name it bears but several miles away
across the New York line. New York
state has just purchased the battle
field. In this connection the New York
Evening Post recalls a toast offered
at the centenary Of Stark's victory In
1877: New Hampshire furnished
/ h.
New York the battlefield and Vermont
the celebration" The Post assumes
that Vermont will be vexed by New
Yorks recent step.

President Watson, of the South Car
lima Press Association announces in
his paper, the Greenwood Index, that
the proposed trip to New York on the
Clyde line has been abandoned for the
reason that not enough members
wanted to go to guarantee the secur-
ing of reservations at reduced rates.
OF course it is not exactly correct to
say that the members did not want to
go, because as a matter Of fact all
would like the trip. But the trouble
is that there is very little really dead
head business about these trips, and
when it comes to putting up the cash,
that is another matter.
