ton which the association adopted:


Resolved, That physicians Of York
county examine the children Of York
county schools free Of charge, and that
the trustees Of each school agree on a
physician or physicians to make such
examinations" -
AS an aid to the doctors in the work
Of examination of children, two differ
ent sets Of blanks are to be filled out
concerning each child's physical con-
dition. One of these blanks will be
used as a record of each child's condi-
ton and the other will be used to not
ify each parent or guardian as to the
physical defects Of the child II there
are such defects.
All the doctors are greatly interest
ed in school inspection and they regard
such inspection as of vital Importance
to good health. While a great many
of them feel that they should receive
compensation for making examina-
tions; from the spirit manifested at
the meeting Tuesday 1t was evident
that they prefer to do the work for
nothing, rather than let 1t go undone.

MEDICAL INSPECTION

One of the most important and in
terestine discussions that came up at
the meeting of the York County Medi-
cal association last Tuesday, was in
regard to medical inspection.
While the majority Of the doctors, If
not all of them, are in favor Of inspect
ing the school children free gratis,
there was quite a difference Of opinion
as to how the inspection work should
be divided among the physicians.
After a great deal Of discussion on
the matter, DR.. ]. r. Miller Of Rock
Hill, introduced the following resolu-

set type for the benefit Of other peo-
pie, it is right that they should pay
for it.-Greenwood Journal.
While 1t is none of The Enquirer's
business how much other newspapers
allow themselves to be imposed upon
by a species Of genteel blackmail and
implied boycott in the withdrawal of
patronage" that has never existed ex-
cept in imagination, still there is some
satisfaction in noting that at least one
other paper has the courage and man
hood to assert that its business is its
own. It is true that the refusal Of the
Journal to allow itself to be worked
will not hamper the state fair any more
than will such refusal on the part of
The Enquirer; but that is not the
point. The Enquirer does not desire
to hamper the state fair and we are
sure that the Journal has no such de-
sire. The thing about 1t Is that the
other fellow should have the gall to
think or pretend to think that he has
a right even to ask as a gratuity in
the furtherance Of his plans, that which
costs the publisher so much labor and
cash. How would any other man feel
in a position of full responsibility for a
business over which he has no positive
control? The idea is sickening. We
regret r. say that there Is very little
business sense among country editors,
and the fact is as well illustrated in
the advertising problem as elsewhere.
For instance, when the publisher puts
himself in the position Of a beggar,
asking people to pay for advertising
space that will be Of benefit only - to
him and not to them, he should not
complain when they ask him to recip-
rocate in giving them notices and the
like that will be of benefit to them and
not to him. So far as the state fair
people and the Columbia crowd are
concerned, we are not asking them for
any advertising. We know they can
buy our advertising space at more
profit to themselves than to US; but
II they do not want to buy 1t, we have
no kick or quarrel, and we are just as
well satisfied as If they had bought 1t.
But all the same, to show we have no
hard feelings we will offer gratuitously
a piece Of advice that is worth good
money. Let those Columbia people
stop this deadbeat business at once,
stop asking for. humbug reading no
tices, and insist on paying every coun-
ty newspaper for honest advertising
space at regular card rates, and the
outcome will be that Columbia and the
fair will get more and better advertis-
ing than they have ever known before
and at less cost. But we have no idea
that this advice will be kindly receiv-
ed. So accustomed is Columbia to
complacent collection Of voluntary
tribute from the balance Of the state
that she would look upon the idea of
paying other people for anything as a
waiving of a hereditary prerogative
equivalent to a birthright.

Experimenting WITH TIMOTHY


Some weeks ago there was a para
graph in The Enquirer which referred
to certain experiments that Mr.. w. F
Rhodes of Roddey No. 1, Is making
with timothy hay, rather a new cror
in this locality. The information came
through a verbal conversation with
Mr. w. s. LESLIE, who did not go into
full details in regard to the matter;
but the editor of The Enquirer saw
Mr.. Rhodes at the York County Fair
yesterday and got some additional in
formation.

The Gaffney Ledger allows w. p;
Beard to come into its columns to re-
ply to Senator Tillman and expresses
the hope that there will be no more of
the controversy. Well, 1t is not our
funeral. but we have an idea that Mr..
Beard is willing to let the matter stay
where it is provided Senator Tillman
does not come again, and If Senator
Tillman does come again, the Ledger
can look for another installment from
Mr.. Beard. We are inclined to think,
however. that Senator Tillman will be
willing to comply with the desire of
Mr.. De Camp to let the whole matter
drop right where 1t is.

WITHIN THE TOWN

Mr.. J. @. Wray Of Yorkville, is
quite 'possum hunter. He has been
out three nights this season. and has
caught seventeen 'possums.
A small cabin at the foot OF West
Jefferson street was destroyed by fire
about II o'clock last night. The fire
department responded to the alarm,
but the house had burned to the ground
before the fire wagon arrived.
With the Boys Corn club and the
Girls Canning club as basis, using
the Graded school building and grounds
as a place Of exhibition, and Offering a
list Of prizes for the best corn, the best
canning achievements, the finest York
county raised horses, cattle, pigs,
chickens, dogs and the like, and charg-
ing admission at the gates to pay ex-
penses; there is absolutely no reason
in the world why the county seat
should not become as 1t properly
should, the home of York county

feet Of six and four inch mains to the
water system, approximately $500 feet
on Lincoln street and the balance on
East Liberty street, Superintendent
Wray of the public works, has begun
to devote himself to improvements on
the light and power system. 1t will be
remembered that one Of three trans
formers was burned out by lightning
recently. This was at the transform
er house in connection with the Nicely
mill, owned jointly by the mill and the
town. Since that mishap the town
has purchased the mills interest in
the remaining two transformers and 1t
has been decided to erect power
house on the Ashe Brickyard lot on
East Madison street. Work is to COM
mence at once. The burned out trans
former is to be removed, and the town
will then have a battery Of three trans
formers Of one hundred horsepower
each, and this, 1t Is estimated, will
easily be sufficient to take care Of. all
the present requirements Of the town
for light and power. New connections
will have to be made between the new
power house and the town circuits and
Mr. Wray has figured out plan un7
der which he proposes to install a
number Of additional switches with
which in case of trouble, he will be
able to cut the current off from any
particular street without cutting it off
from the whole town.

DOWN IN MEXICO
Looks Like United States Will Take G
Hand.


There is no improvement in the Mex
lean situation; but all the reports and
evidences seem to indicate that a crisis
will be reached on October 26 or 27 II
not before.
While the text Of certain letters that
were sent by President Wilson and
Secretary Bryan on receipt Of news
that Huerta had arrested the members
of the chamber Of deputies and Of
the senate, have not been made public,
1t is known that they were to the
point. The letters are said to have
been quite brief and pretty plain to
the general effect that the United
States will not sanction such proceed
ings.
information from washir ~ton last
night was to the effect that the presi-
dent Is still trying to secure a peace
full settlement Of the whole thing, and
that he will wait to see how much free
dom and fairness there is in the gener-
al election Of October 26, before TAX
ing any drastic steps; but 1t is the
present outlook that unless things soon
shape up better in Mexico, the United
States will take a hand.

Columbia special to News and Cou-
rier: John ]. Jones, the Branchville
lawyer who was sentenced to ten years
and one month In the state penitenti-
ary for killing Abe Pearlstine, is on the
chaingang at Orangeburg, 1t develops
through correspondence passing be-
tween Governor Blease and Supervisor
Hayden of Orangeburg county. The
governor Is quoted as writing to the
Orangeburg supervisor to the effect
that It had been reported to him that
Jones had been allowed to go OF. on a
three-days' deer hunt. The latter Of
fetal Is quoted as denying any knowl-
edge Of Jones' actions or presence on
the gang. Then the governor wrote
him, submitting copy Of the contract
which the Orangeburg supervisor and
officials made with the penitentiary
and Superintendent Grifiith last June
when they hired Jones from the state
officials and put him to work on the
gang. The governor warns the super
visor about the alleged freedom which
Is being accorded to Jones, say
ing, II would advise you immedi-
ately to read over that contract and
carry out its provisions II you do not
want to be placed in a position to re-
ceive a great deal Of trouble. I am
surprised at your saying you know
nothing about 1t and then finding the
original contract here with your name
on It," The case Of Jones is well
known throughout the state. There
had been bad blood, 1t was charged,
between him and Pearlstine, who was a
merchant in Branchville, and In the
postoffice there Jones shot him dead.
Convicted OF manslaughter, he was
70 70
in the state penitentiary, the sentence
being affirmed by the supreme court
on an appeal by Jones from the lower
courts verdict. Efforts Of Jones to Sc
cure clemency failed and he was sup
posed to be in the penitentiary serving
sentence until the fact Of his being on
the Orangeburg gang bobbed up with
the publication Of the correspondence
passing between the governor and the
Orangeburg supervisor over the alleg-
ed freedom accorded to Jones.

It would seem that Huerta having
found that he could not rule Mexico,
has decided to try to save his face by
bringing on clash with the United
States. This arrangement will cost the
United States both lives and treasure;
but in the end 1t will be Of inestimable
benefit to Mexico even though Huerta
does not mean 1t that way.

The Yorkville Enquirer Is entirely
correct in it's position with reference
to the use that has been made Of the
papers of South Carolina to boost
free of charge the state fair at Co
lumbia This kind Of thing has been
going on for years, and the papers
have quietly submitted, and taken the
medicine that has been poured down
their throats without making faces,
but there comes a time in all things
when changes take place, and even
newspapers balk, and have the man
hood to assert and demand their
rights.
For years the state fair people have
been working the newspapers. Some
times they sent out plate matter from
Columbia for their use as reading
matter and it was used gratuitousiy.
We have done our share Of this boost
ing and accepted an admission ticket
to the fair, which by the way, we
have never had occasion to use. or
course, the state fair is abundantly
able to get along without any support
that it might get from the Daily
Journal, but so far as this newspaper
is concerned it has reached the limit,
and we do not propose running free
ads for anything or for anybody not
even for the annual state fair at Co
lumbia, corporation that is abund-
antly able to pay its bills, and which,
no doubt, pays everybody in full and
some, even, in excess, save the news
papers.
Some time since, the Daily Journal
took a stand and let it be known that
it could not be worked in the matter
Of free ads for charitable and re-
ligious objects. This has been OF
immense help to us, and while some
people may not take it so kindly, 1t
has done good. We have had our own
self-respect to advance several de-
grees. and we believe that 1t has
helped the paper in the estimation OF
the general public. We shall al
ways support good causes, but we are
going to do it like a man, and not
like a pauper, and in such way as
to make mendicants out of the objects
to which we contribute. What the
world needs today is manly paying for
what is received and open-handed,
open-hearted giving to worthy causes
of all kinds. We pay for every line
of type set in this office, and when we

The Municipal Primary.

The primary pulled off Tuesday for
the nomination of Mayor and two
Wardens to serve the remainder of
the year was probably the most ex-
citing election held in this city in
many years. There was no opposi-
ton in the race for Wardens there
fore the interest centered in the May
orality race. Both candidates were
good, true men and the result shows
that their forces were pretty evenly
divided. More than two hundred
votes were cast and Mr.. J. A. Spruil
received only twenty-five votes more
than his opponent, Mr.. J. w. Brasing-
ton.
The candidates for Warden were,
from Ward No. 3, Mr.. A. G. Meiklejohn
and from Ward No. 4, Mr.. B. Finlay-
son.
The general election will be held
next next Tuesday and the following
will be the ticket:
For Mayor. A. Spruil.
For Warden: Ward No. "a. G..
