Need For Mon.

No one of fairly good intelligence
will question for a moment the sound
ness or the timeliness of the brief
message that Mr.. H. E. Johnson de-
livered to the Bethel Improvement as
sociation last Saturday.
This country needs many things;
but its greatest need is that Of men,
and while Bethel has as large a pro-
portion of real men as any other Sec
ton of the county, and York has as
large a per centage Of real men as any
other county in the state, nevertheless
the message is as timely and as ap-
propriate for Bethel and York as else
where.
We are not among those who believe
manhood is on the decline rather than
the increase. Those who so believe
are very numerous, and this is especi-
ally true Of older observers who think
that men generally are not as good
and true as in former years; but we
are inclined to think that those who
hold such a view fail to take into con-
sideration their accumulated personal
experience and knowledge. 1t must be
remembered that the man Of fifty is
naturally expected to have found out
a great many more people than he had
found out when he was only twenty,
and also he is still finding out at fifty,
men with whom he was acquainted at
twenty; but had not yet found out.
1t is not to be denied that there is
something good in every man; but this
Is not the point. The thing is for ev-
cry man to have lot of good, and it Is
just as well to remember too, that
tlons at twenty, sometimes change
their ways and become better men be-
fore fifty. The common belief is that
most men who were unworthy and un-
reliable when young are unworthy and
unreliable in maturer years; but this
rule is not at all safe, because expert
ence has rather proved that the faults
of youth more often than otherwise,
especially where there Is the right
kind of stuff, frequently enhance, rath-
er than detract from the wisdom and
uprightness of maturer years.
But this is not what Mr.. Johnson
was talking about, and it is not the
thing he is driving at.
The trouble of which he complains
is that there are too many men who
fail to realize the sacredness of an OBJ
legation, the absolute Importance Of
frank, open dealing, and all that Is to
be gained by consistent speaking Of
the truth.
Liars, thieves and profiigates some
times prosper temporarily, and their
example frequently has a demora,iz-
ing effect on others who have been
taught better; but for liars, thieves

Just what the inwardness Of the
quarrel between Huerta and Felix Diaz
there is any more to it
than that Diaz was voted for as an
opposition candidate for the presiden-
cy-we do not know, because it has
not been made clear. The fact that
on the day before the election, Diaz
who was then at Vera Cruz, was "invit-
ed" to the capital and declined the in
vitation, has already been published.
During the day of election, Diaz took
refuge in the American consulate, and
refused to go on the street because he
believed his life was in danger. Next
day he left Vera Cruz, and took refuge
on an American cruiser, and although
it is understood that the Mexican gov
ernment was not at all pleased, it
made no demand upon the United
States to give up the fugitive. 1t is
understood that the United States Is
entirely within her rights in giving
refuge to political fugitives, and will
not give Diaz up even if asked to do
so. Diaz has expressed himself as be-
ing very Objectionable to the revolu-
tionists and as his life would probably
be no safer with them that it would
be with Huerta, he is desirous of be-
ing taken to some point where the
Mexicans cannot get hold Of him.

and fprofiigates to permanently hold
the respect of people whose respect is
worth holding, ia out Of the question.
1t has never happened and it never
will.
Go into any community where you
will and pick out all kinds of people,
including the stupid, handsome, dash
ing, bright and brilliant. and while 1t
will sometimes be found that men are
preferred in various ways for reasons
other than their honesty and probity,
1t will also be found that the respect
1--WE do not mean popularity, in which
every individual Is held, is in proper
tion to his, established reputation for
honesty and truthfulness. This Will
be found to be true even though dis
honesty and untruthfulness may be
the rule In that community. q .tl:.s
Yes, the greatest need Of the day Is
for men-men who have the intelli-
eence to think Alright, and the courage
TO stand for what they think, let the
consequences be what they may. Error
has always fiourished everywhere, ana
often whole communities are welded
,o error that Is doing them real harm.
The only means Of combating error Is
by honesty and truth, backed by cour-
age though where honesty ana truth
exist, courage Is seldom absent. -s

CRIMSON CLOVER.

Mr.. John r. Blair, county demon
stration agent, says that crimson clover
is as common a sight throughout York
county now-a- days as oats used to be.
Quite a number Of farmers who
sowed crimson clover have had bad
luck for one reason or another. In
some cases they sowed on dry ground
without previous breaking, and al
though the seed sprouted, they soon
died. In other cases the seed was sown
on good land; but not altogether suit
ed for the crop without proper inoccu.
lation, and the crop has not done well
in instances Of this kind.
Mr.. ]. C. Burge, of No. 3 Yorkville,
who has frequently been referred to
before in connection with his crimson
clover experiments, continues the un-
disputed leader. Mr.. Burge does not
own but eighty-one acres in all, and he
has a good stand Of crimson clover on
thirty-flve acres. He sowed thirty
seven acres; but on two acres he fail
ed to get a good stand.

PETITION TO COMMISSIONERS.

Following is the memorial to the
court house commissioners with refer
ence, to the proposed new site that is
being circulated and signed in various
parts Of the county:
To the Honorables-
j. S. Brice, ]. G. Anderson, w. S.
Wilkerson, York County Court House
Commission.
We, the undersigned citizens and
taxpayers Of York county, desire to
memorialiZe you as follows:
l. For reasons that are obvious, we
do not think 1t wise or good business
to erect a new building on the old site.
A sufficient reason Is that the cost
would be too great, and that there
would be too much waste Of values.
2. We are opposed to the idea of
spending $4,000 or anything like that
sum for a lot in town where so many
desirable sites should be available at
a merely nominal price In comparison.
3. Rather than pay even $4,000 for
another lot, we would endorse the
erection of the new building on the F.
E. Smith gift lot, or on some other lot
that may be donated. provided the To-
cation is approximately as good.
All Of which is respectfully submit
ted, with the hope that 1t will receive
due consideration.

Nothing but q straight business
proposition" said w. L. Hill Of Sha-
ron, in speaking favorably Of the ac-
ceptance of the F. E. Smith gift lot fol
the location of the court house.
And now from the steps of the court
house where most all Of the legal pro-
cess sales Of nearly a hundred years
have been made, the old court house
and the yard on which 1t stands. are to
go under the hammer.
From what Mr.. E. w. Pursley says
it would not take great deal Of mon
ey to fix that road from Ramah to the
battle-ground, and there ought to be
some way to raise 1t. BY rights the
road should be put in good condition
on both sides of the battle-ground.
Mr.. James D. Land has called our
attention to certain inaccuracies in the
recent statement about his ribbon
cane. There were nine rows about
125 yards in length. The largest stRlk
was six inches in circumference IN
stead of in diameter The total yield
Of molasses was 81 gallons.
The strongest argument in favor Of
the location Of the court house along
the centre Of East Liberty street is
the value of $4,000 building in ad
vertising the town to people coming
and going from the trains" And this
argument is actually being used by
grown -ups-adults.
A bunch of Rock Hill people
came over to Yorkville last Tues
day afternoon to look over the court
house property that is to be Of
fered at public auction next Monday.
There were in the party several gen.
tlemen who are easily able to buy the
whole site without serious financial in
convenience, and their presence excit-
ed a mild sensation. Some people held
that it was all a bluff" and others
that the visitors really mean business;
but next Monday will tell the story.

makes her home with her son, Sheriff
Cannon G. Blease, will be grieved to
learn that she was stricken with par
alysis Sunday night between IL and
IL o'clock. She was in room alone,
but succeeded in calling Mrs. Cannon
Blease. who found her helpless. DR..
Houseal was called, and found that
her right side had been completely
paralyzed. Mrs. Blease was in her
usual health Sunday and attended her
church as usual. Late Sunday after
noon her son, Eugene S. Blease,
called to see her and sat and talked
with her for some time, and when he
left she walked a little way with han,
to be perfectly we'll. Mrs.
Blease had a slight stroke some
months ago, which affected her speech
for a short time; but she recovered
from that in a few days.
