at a pretty stiff pace in Yorkville. !
The idle Hour theatre is to
open its doors for the, first time to-
night and show three up-to-date reels
The theatre has been put in fine shape

At a meeting of the Yorkville
Board Of Trade last Wednesday night,
one Of the principal subjects Of dis
cussion was the prospects of getting
public building for the town. The
postal receipts last year were several
hundred dollars short of the $4,000 un-
derstood to be necessary for elligibih-
ty for public building, and the un-
derstanding Is that 1t Is doubtful as to
whether the receipts will reach quite
$4,000 for the year ending March 81. :,

The INAUGURAL Address.

President Wilson's Inaugural ad-
dress is different from most such de-
liverances in that 1t deals only with
basic principles; but those principles
are defined with sufficient precision to
preclude any suggestion of meaning
less generalities.
There are those who have suggested
that President Wilson is only a school
teacher full Of theories, but without
working knowledge Of practical
craftsmanship. and these are pointing
to the inaugural address as evidence
Of the correctness Of their judgment.
People who have a fairly compre-
hensive knowledge Of the real manner
in which political affairs have been
managed, and are now managed,
should very readily be able to see that
if President Wilson's programme is
carried into effect that it will only be
after a very radical change from
present conditions. And as it is not
reasonable to suppose that the people
who are now in the saddle are going
to surrender their presumed preroga-
tives without some kind or protest at
least, it is not difficult to scent ap-
preaching trouble.
But as to whether Mr.. Wilson is
really only a theoretical pedagogue
remains to be tested. While we admit
that the principles laid down in the
inaugural address are ideal in their
correctness, we are not quite willing
to concede that the ability to formu-
late and declare correct principles de-
tracts in the least from presumption
of ability to give those principles prac-
tical application. On the contrary we
are looking for Mr.. Wilson to do ex-
actly with this government what he
has promised to do with 1t, or be found
making very earnest trial. If we
had no better reason for looking for
just that, then a sufficient reason would
be the absurdity of the fool who would
make such declarations as have been
made, merely for the sake Of appear
ing to be inspired by lofty sentiments.
If anybody thinks that this govern
ment is now pitched on the plane de-
scribed in Mr.. Wilson's ideal of what
1t should be, then those who so think
are as badly mistaken as to the real
facts as are those who think there
could be any considerable change in
the direction the president indicates,
without a very violent shaking up of
the present established order of things.
And another thing. II President
Wilson were a mere time-serving pol
itician of a kind with a majority Of
present day so-called statesmen, who
intended to drift along with the cur
rent, trusting to truculent fawning as
a means of securing peace, comfort
and applause, he would not think of
laying down such principles as he has
enunciated. He would instead have
preferred to have dealt only with gen.
eralities that could be twisted to fit
any conceivable condition that might
arise. AS 1t is, without going into de-
tails as to what he expects to do or
how. he has laid down chart on

Mr.. JOSEPH A. SMITH,:

Mr.. Joseph A Smith, a we'll known
and highly esteemed citizen Of York
county, died at his home in the Beer
sheba neighborhood last Wednesday
afternoon after a long period of failing
health, and was buried on yesterday
at Beersheba, the services being con-
Quoted by Rev. Grady Hardin. There
was a large attendance of relatives,
friends and acquaintances from all the
surrounding country.
Mr.. Smith was born in Chester
county on June 1, 1887. and came
with his father, the late John A. Smith
ty in 1853. He was married to his
wife, who was Miss Mary Lucinda
Burns, in 1857, and in 1861 he located
on the farm in the Beersheba neigh
borhood that was his home for the re-
mainder of his life.
Mr.. Smith entered the Confederate
service in 1862 as a member of Com
pany I, Sixth South Carolina Volun-
teers, and was under General Jenkins
In his bloody campaigns in Virginia
and Tennessee, participating in the
battles at Second Manassas, the Will
derness, Cold Harbor, Spottsylvania,
and Petersburg. He lost five months
parole at Appomatox.
Mr.. Smith served two terms as
county commissioner previous to 1895,
when the county was governed by a
board of commissioners consisting Of
three members, and was for many
years chairman Of a board Of school
trustees that had charge of all schools
in York township outside of the town
Of Yorkville. His service as a school
trustee was of the pioneer kind and
was highly creditable as well as bene-
ficial
Just before his marriage in 1850 Mr..
Smith connected himself with the
Methodist Episcopal church, and was
an earnest and enthusiastic religious
worker during the balance of his days.
He was the main reliance Of the late
Rev. l.. A. Johnson in the organiza-
ton Of Kings Mountain Chapel in a
territory that was then but little bet
ter than a bowling wilderness, and he
continued to give the work his time
labor and means, until increasing
years and infirmities curtailed his ac-
tivities. 1t was in connection with this

The Webb BilI.-We are glad to see
that both branches Of congress have
passed the Webb bill over the veto of
the president and it now becomes a
law. The vote in the senate was SO to
81 and in the house 244 to 95. Presi-
dent Taft based his veto upon the
ground, that the bill was unconstitu-
tional in that 1t delegates to the states
control Of interstate traffic which, he
holds, Is vested only in congress. In
this opinion he was sustained by the
attorney general. Hon. Yates Webb,
the framer and advocate Of the bill, Is
congressman from North Carolina.

OF course predictions are no safer

see it, President Wilson has without
reserve dedicated himself to the real
service Of his country. We sincerely
trust that he will be able to carry out

are unable to conceive Of the possibil-

are ahead Of him some rough-very

Rutherfordton, n. c., are seeing spooks,
A correspondent writes from Ruther-
ford college to the Charlotte Observer
as follows: "Coincident with the
discovery by Mr.. r. T. Claywell of
Morganton, of a mysterious light that
has been appearing and disappearing
in upper Burke county, is the even
more mysterious disappearance of
sheep, dogs, hogs and other animals in
this part Of Burke. For the past month
some unknown and unusual animal
has been preying on the sheep, dogs
and hogs of the people Of this section
and along the Catawba river line in
Caldwell county. John Hice, a Cald-
we'll county farmer living on the river
line, was the first to discover the pres
ence of the animal when he found a
fine house dog had been carried away
one night while he slept. Burr Mccall
lard, a former slave, who belonged to
an uncle of President Woodrow Will
son, and was born in slavery as a
Wilson, found that the animal had
visited his premises and eaten one of
his dogs with the exception of the
dogs tail. The animal then visited a
number of premises in the vicinity of
Shady Grove, where II carried away
a number of dogs and hogs. 1t is un-
derstood that Squire j. Z. Coulter a
prominent farmer living at Connelly's
Springs, has lost quite a number of
his fine Angora goats in this way. Just
what the animal is, that is perpetrat-
ing these marauds on the premises of
the citizens of Burke. no one seems
able to tell. 1t has been seen by sew
eral persons and looks like large dog
or a small bear. Crossing the college
campus on Sunday night after the
Epworth League services, Mr.. Arthur
T. Abernathy saw on a tennis court
what he thought was an overcoat.
Thinking that one of the students had
forgot his coat, he started to wax over
to where the garment lay. AS he ap-
preached it, 1t moved little. Throw
ing his cigar in the direction OF the
object, Mr.. Alternately hastily struck a
match. The thing crouched as If to
leap at him, whirled around at the
sight of the light thrown toward it,
and galloped off in the direction of the
woods back of the Methodist grave
yard. He could not tell what it was,
but says 1t looked like young calf,
