Best Ten Ears,
THE COURT HOUSE

Since publication of the advertise
ment offering the York county court
house lot and site for sale at public
auction on salesday in November, there
has not been a great deal of talk on
the subject. =.
Casual. inquiry among those in a po-
sition to keep in closest touch with the
subject, fails to develop any positive
information as to probable bidders
who will be willing to buy the present
site at $4,000 or over; but usually
such people are inclined to offer the
observation that lack Of talk is not
necessarily a sign of absence Of inter-
est, as most people who might be con-
templating an investment Of this mag
nitude are experienced enough in bus
mess matters to keep their own coun-
sci.
The Enquirer has talked to a num-
ber of people who do not care to be
quoted by name; but who express the
opinion that since the upset price has
been fixed at $4,000, instead Of $14,-
900. 1t Is probable that nobody will buy
and that the new building will go back
on the present site. 1t is surprising,
however, to hear many earnest express
iions in favor Of erecting the new
building on the two-acre site that Mr..
F. E. Smith has offered free on West
Liberty street

Ex-Governor Sulzer can at least
say, Il have been governor" just as
the late Mayor Gaynor could say, 81
have been mayor" If he had been
content not to be governor, he would
rquestionably be holding the office
still.-Charlotte Observer.
That observation is complete in it
self and at the same time there is a
text for a sermon in It, New York has
had governors before who have been
content to allow the Tammany bosses
to use them as rubber stamps, and
who have retired from their offices
with the contempt Of the people OF
New York and Of the country. No
man who allows himself to be used as
a tool by others can maintain his own
self-respect, and the man who does
not respect himself cannot hope to have
the respect of his fellow men. Mr.
Sulzer is in bad way on account OF
impeachment; but still we doubt not
that he is a much better man than GER
tain other Of his predecessors who filled
out their terms without ever thinking
Of rebelling aginst the bosses who
used them as tools.

beet that weighs 1-2 pounds.
Because Of frost In Oklahoma and
Texas, December contracts went to
1879 on the New York exchange yes
terday-$4.50 bale above the low
level Of last week.
There was no kick or quarrel about
the decision Of the judges as to Mr..
Henry B. James's horse exhibit at the
fair last week. Many expert judges Of
horse flesh thought that by all means
Mr.. James should have easily won out
first for the best single horse open to
the world; but the mare he exhibited
in that class had the misfortune to
stick nail In her foot and go lame
just at the wrong time.
One Of the most extensive and artis-
tic exhibits Of the Girls Canning club
display at Rock Hill was that Of Mar
garet Clark of Yorkville, No. /. and
many people picked 1t as winner of
most or the blue ribbons, even before
the judges passed upon it. 1t called for
very serious consideration at the hands
Of the judges and received much hon
orable mention. IS, ,.r.s
We have not at hand data on which
to make anything like q satisfactory
estimate Of the probable amount of
extra canned goods York county has
this year on account Of the activities
Of the canning clubs, but we arequite
sure that the amount Is quite large. It
is probable that If all the benefits that
have been brought about through and
as result Of the operations Of the
canning clubs were summed up, the
aggregate would reach many thous-
ands Of dollars. ..."as...fe.. 90 ..

at his home county to assist him In

Of court for Aiken county, Of man
slaughter, and sentenced to seven
years in the state penitentiary. In
granting this parole Of such an un-

1T strikes me that this is very un-

worry. First, to do that which Is
proper in the matter. and next figure
out what is proper. Every man. before

will bring upon his wife and children,

This newspaper has heretofore ex-
pressed itself in regard to the matter
Of free advertising for the state fair
and just as we felt like saying some
thing about 1t again, a strong editorial
on the subject in The Yorkville En-
quirer came to our notice. We have
not carried either the news" notices
or the display advertising for the fair
in a number Of years, and we feel that
every newspaper should get pay for
the advertising or keep 1t out Of their
columns. OF course there Is much to
be said in favor of a creditab!e state
fair, but as we see 1t, there is no good
reason why the weekly and semi
weekly newspapers should contribute
hundreds of dollars in advertising to
such an institution.-Bamberg Herald
That is another free ad that the fair
would not have gotten except for The
Enquirer's kick against the annual
imnosition on the editors; but If the
publishers will reflect upon the wis
dom contained in the advice, that ev-
cry newspaper should get pay for the
advertising or keep it out of their col
umns." there will be good fruit after
all. OF course the so-cal!ed news
notices should not be published even
for pay, because they take an unfair
advantage Of the reader.

AS to whether the crow is good or
bad citizen is question on which
there has long been a serious division
of opinion. Trere are many thought
full and obser yant farmers of this To-
cality who hold that the crow is an all
right kind of a bird which should be
protected, and many others who insist
that the crow is a destructive villain
who should receive no consideration
whatever The following from Wash
ington is of interest:
THE case of the crow, condemned
as destructive bird in agricultural
fields, has been re-opened by the de-
partment of agriculture and a more
favorable verdict reached. The inves-
tigation made by the experts Of the
Biological Survey of the department
shows the crow to be Of great value to
farmers.
After a careful study of the habits
and the examination of a large number
of stomachs, the department experts
have reached the conclusion that the
crow consumes enough grasshoppers,
cutworms, white grubs and other inju-
rious insects to make him highly valu-
able to farmers. There is, however,
one bad habit which the crow has, and
that Is the destruction of young birds
and bird eggs, but this trait Is out
weighed by the good the bird is doing
for the farmer in the destruction of
worms and insects"

From the appearance Of the Rock
Hill Record yesterday. 1t appears that
the editor must have been working
overtime trying to create the impress
sion that The Enquirer has been
knocking the excellent fair held there
last week At considerable inconve-
nience the editor went over personal
ly, paid his admission at the. gate,
went around and collected lot Of In
formation, with the assistance Of the
officials when the officials were able
to give assistance, and on his own ac-
count otherwise, and printed In our
last issue what several people have
been pleased to tell US was the best
when the Record comes out 1t Is liter
ally frothing at the mouth, accusing
us of being small, narrow and the
like, and even trying to put double
knocking" construction on the little
pleasantly that was published, as oc-
curing in conversation between Ed
itor Fain and Editor Grist, notwith-
standing both observations are abso-
lutely true. 1t heads our suggestion
to the Yorkville people, pointing out
how easy 1t is to have fair, how they
have already had fairs without calling
them such, "A Tale Of Woe," and puts
black face type emphasis in the wrong
place on a declaration that as great
a success as was the fair, it would
have even been greater under proper
efforts. If we were not so familiar
with the Record and its peculiarities,
we would have been astonished; but
as it is we are not even surprised.
Really though we think Editor Schw-
rar. when he becomes rational again,
should make some little apology to
Editor Fain; but then this is gratuit-
Gus, as we have no reason to think
that Editor Fain is concerned about it..
