BETHELIMPRovEMENT

The Bethel Improvement association
met at Concord church last Friday
according to regular appointment, and
was called to order by the president,
DR.. T. N. Dulin, who presided.
The invited speakers of the occa-
sion, DR.. M. j. Walker and Mr.. John
r. Blair having failed to appear, DR..
Dulin read for the instruction Of the
meeting, Clemson Press Bulletin No.
95, on the subject Of so Called Cere-
bro Spinal Meningitis Of Horses and
Mules" According to this bulletin the
cause of this disease is the eating OF
damaged corn or fodder, the theory
being that the germ Of the disease is
in the molds that form on the damag-
ed food.
After the reading Of the bulletin,
and the offering Of some suggestions
thereon, DR.. Dulin called for impromp-
tn remarks on any subject. Messrs.
G. L. Suggs and T. M. Martin discuss
ed the road question along general
lines and more particularly in relation
to the claims of Bethel township on
the chaingang, etc. Both were very
much disappointed with the recent ac-
tion Of the county board of commits
sioners in deciding that after the COM
pletion of the north and south road the
chaingang should go to the Yorkville
and Rock Hill road instead Of to the
road for which the Bethel township
people have subscribed so literally.
The meeting adjourned subject to
the call Of the president.

york's Cotton Crop.

Although according to the ginner's
report published on the sth instant,
York county had ginned 1,180 bales
less cotton than had been ginned up
to the same date last year the money
value of the crop was s269,923 more
than it was for the crop ginned up to
the same date the year previous.
We figure 1t like this: The average
price received for last years crop was
hardly above IL cents, and 1862 bales
at IL cents comes to $1,9O6,410. The
average price received for this years
crop has been close to 13 cents and
33,4S2 bales at 13 cents comes to $2,-
1850 a difference this year as COM
pared with last year Of $269,s23, In
favor of this year.
But still the county has been pretty
hard hit Taking the ginnings up to
December s, that shortage Of 1,1SC
bales, means loss Of s76,700.
But of course it is understood that
these figures are not final. There are
a good many people we'll informed on
the crop situation throughout the
county who say that this years crop
will run full 5000 bales short of last
years crop and until all the figures
are in, it will not be practicable to say
whether the county as a whole will
get as much for this years crop as 1t
got for the crop Of last year.

Found the Secret.

While out in the western part Of the
county recently the editor Of The En-
quirer had quite a pleasant little con-
versation with an intelligent and en-
thusiastic young farmer Of about sew
enteen years, and part of the con-
versation was like this:
The young farmer: Our land has
gotten so that with a little dry wealth
er following a wet spell it gets so hard
that it is all we can do to plow 1t.
The Editor: And what do you think
the trouble is?
The Young Farmer: Father says we
have been planting cotton so long,
taking everything off the land and
putting back nothing but commercial
fertilizers and cotton stalks, that we
have robbed the soil Of its humus and
there Is nothing for it to do but to
run together and get as hard as a
brick.
The Editor: And what is the RENE
dy for this?
The Young Farmer: Father came to
the conclusion last fall that the best
thing to do was to sow the land down
in nitrogen producing cover crop
with view to turning 1t under next
spring and this he has done. He has
most of his workable land in crimson
clover, and he says that he is going to
turn 1t under in the spring no matter
how good it might look for hay"
This is about all that was said on
this particular subject and If this
does not come pretty nearly carrying
the solution Of great problem we
would like some one to give us some
light.

For the information Of many who
are not familiar with the history OF
the emancipation proclamation we re-
produce the following from the Mes
sages and Documents Of the Presi-
dents.'
Early in the Civil war many per-
sons began to agitate for proclama-
ton from the president declaring the
slaves free. 1t was the intention OF
President Lincoln, as he declared, tc
preserve the Union without freeing
the saves, if possible. September %
1862. he issued a preliminary procla-
nation as a war measure, calling upon
all the people in rebellion against the
United States to return to their alle-
glance, promising measures OF RELIEF
in case Of compliance and threatening
to free the states and parts of states
which should still be in rebellion on
the 1st day of January next succeed
ing the proclamation. This had no ell
feet. Accordingly on January l. 1868
President Lincoln issued a supplement
tary proclamation declaring the free
dom of the slaves in all the states
which had seeded except counties
in West Virginia, Z counties in Vir-
ginia, including the cities of Norfolk
and Portsmouth, and 13 parishes OF
Louisiana, including the city Of New
Orleans. The thirteenth amendment
to the Constitution, in force December
IS, 1865, completed the work of eman-
cipation by which S,S95,172 slaves were
made free"

matter, is 1t not really the part. of
honesty and true manhood that he
should take the position he has taken?
If he were disposed to practice double
dealing in the matter it would be al
easy thing for him to conduct the case
so Sims would be ,"vindieated." or
course there would be those who would
see it, but the vindication having been
brought about by due process of

of experience and ability, and as near
~ bipartisan as it is possible for a
man Of this day and generation to be,
it seems to us that the attorney gen.
eral is showing a disposition to get at
absolute legal exactness to say the
least of it. AS to the merits Of the
bond quarrel we are not prepared to
speak in fun detail; but from what
we know we are persuaded that If
there is bias on one side, there Is no
less bias on the other, and as there Is
no reason to suppose that the, attor-
ney general sympathizes with the po-
sition of the comptroller general, we
are not disposed to blame him for not
having anything to. do with the case.

In the following the Edgefield
Chronicle asks question that is rath-
er pertinent, if we are not mistaken.
The Chronicle says:
"One Thomas H. Peoples was elect
ed last year as attorney general Of the
state of South Carolina, as we
thought, to represent the people Of the
state; but his conduct raises the
question as to whom he does really
rep. esent. An explanation from him
is in order. Very recently he has de-
clined to represent the state in disbar-
ment proceedings in the supreme
court against a certain lawyer, for
which he gives very childish excuses.
In like manner, he declined to repre-
sent the comptroller general in suit
against the state, in which the said
comptroller general is defendant, as
the agent of the state. Such things
read queer down this way, and the
people want to know II Mr. Peoples
represents the state or not.
burg Herald.
We are not so awfully sure that the
attorney general is wrong in either of
these cases. He may be technically
wrong; but as to whether he is prac-
tically wrong is another matter So far
as the Sims case is concerned, assum-
ing that the case is well founded, the
attorney general is the proper prose-
cutting officer. But since it is matter
Of common knowledge that whether
Sims be guilty or not, there are hun
dreds of other attorneys in the state
who are really as guilty as he is charg-
ed with being, is not the attorney gen
eral justified in very seriously asking
himself why this case against Sims?
And since he has doubts about the

e D. CASTLES DEAD

Mr.. Ebenezer PRESLEY Castles, the
veteran school teacher. well known
throughout York county. and especial
'ly in the western half of the county,
died at his home in Gaffney last Sun
day at about noon, after an illness of
three weeks, and was buried at
Smyrna yesterday morning.
Mr.. Castles was in the list year Of
his age, and spent his entire active life,
a period Of SO years in the public SER
yice-four years in the Confederate
army, two or three years in the west,
and the balance of the long period
teaching school, mainly in York coun-
ty. He went to the Civil war in 1861
as a member Of Company B. Twelfth
South Carolina Volunteers, and served
till the surrender. He had been teach
ing little previous to the war. and
when he returned home resumed his
work.
Mr.. Castles's education was self ac-
quired. He had few early advantages
but as a school teacher he was a re-
markable success. He taught boys and
girls, young men and young women.
and 1t Is a fact that he advanced
them rapidly. There are many fifty
ty-year-old men and women Of today
who went to Mr.. Castles when they
were children, who were afterward
fortunate enough to secure college and
university advantages, and who will
testify that they have never known a
more effective or thorough teacher.
Mr.. Castles was twice married. His
first wife was Miss Emma Brown, to
whom he was married in 1868. Some
time after the death Of his first wife
he was married to Miss Alice, a daugh-
ter Of Mr.. T. p. Whisonant. who sur
wives him. The living children Of the
first marriage are: Leonard T. Cas-
ties, of Santiago: r. j. Castles, of
Smyrna; Neil Castles. of Union Mills.
N. c.: John Castles, Of Lockhart; {;
Mrs. William Whisonant, Of Smyrna;
Mrs. c. M. Whisonant, Of Rock Hill.
The children of the second marriage
are Misses Mabel and Estelle and
Thomas. all with their mother
The funeral services were held at
Smyrna yesterday, and were conduct
led by Rev. ]. L Oates. There was a
large concourse Of people in attend
ance.

On being asked by the correspon-
dent of a German newspaper as to the
extent of his resources, Dictator HUI
erta said that If necessary he could
raise an army of a million men. While
we frankly admit that Mr.. Huerta
knows a great deal more about condi-
tions in Mexico than we do, we are not
much disposed to take his claims Sc
riously. We think that If he had been
able to raise an army of million men
he would have done so long ago. Such
an army, if loyal, would easily be suf-
ficient to restore quiet in Mexico, and
it would also serve to ensure more
consideration from Uncle Sam. The
Mexican dictator must be talking to
keep his courage up.

was the most successful that the la

sold fancy articles, confectionery and
the like, and the gross proceeds
amounted to between SITS and 5000
The affair generally was a most en-
joyable one.
Leading negroes in different parts
of the county are arranging for a
monster celebration of emancipation
day in Yorkville on Thursday, January
l, next, the 50th anniversary of Pres
ident Lincoln's proclamation. 1t has
been the custom of the negroes for
many years to celebrate this anniver-
sary, and 1t is expected that the cele-
bration Of next January will be on a
larger scale than heretofore.
Just this suggestion to the board of
health: All reasonable people approve
your efforts in behalf Of the commun-
ity; but If you would avoid confusion
distrust and perhaps in the end rebel
lion that will be beyond your control,
all of your proceedings as we'll as all
your orders should be in writing
There Is no other way to avoid misun-
derstanding and hard feelings If the
matter comes to the test also, 1t will
be found that other than written or
,lers properly served are without le-
gally binding effect.
Mr.. J. w. Bumgartner, who lives
at the Ancona mill village, is going to
give garden trucking thorough try
out to see what there Is in 1t. He has
secured twelve acres Of land on the
northern outskirts of Yorkville, and
early in the fall set out three bushels
of onion sets, and $500 cabbage plants
He says he will set half acre in to-
matoes next spring and other vege-
tables in proportion. Mr.. Bumgart-
ner also says that he expects with ia
vorable seasons, to make not less than
500 bushels Of corn as part of the
product Of the twelve acres that he
expects to work. His experiment Will
be watched with interest.
