information from the Beersheba Sec
ton is to the effect that there Is good
promise of a corn crop out that way.
Cotton Is only fairly good. ''
That 10 an excellent paper that Miss
Brandon read at Wednesdays meeting
of the Bethel Improvement association
at Forest Hill. and the reader will be
especially struck with the broad and
comprehensive view the author takes
Of country life.
Next Monday Is registration day
again and 1t is up to those who have
not already gotten certificates to turn
out and get them. People who have
certificates and who realize the impor-
tance of having every white man who
Is entitled to register to do so, should
interest themselves in the matter of
securing full turn out.
All The Enquirer's readers may be
reached by other means than through
The Enquirer; but there is no other
way by which they can be reached as
effectively. This Is true Of any news
paper. Every newspaper that has lived
and labored long enough to make enc
mics, also has friends, and a newspa-
pers friends are more strongly infiu-
enced by a given advertisement in Its
columns than they would be by the
same advertisement reaching them
through some other medium. Thou
sands of the most intelligent advertisers
recognize the correctness of the prin-
ciple here laid down, and govern them
selves accordingly. 1t Is on this basis
for instance, that certain classes of
New York business men use all the
papers of the city in certain cases,
while in other cases they use only GER
tain papers.

II the people Of New York become
thoroughly aroused as to that guber-
material situation, Sulzer will win out,
and we certainly hope so. AS we have
taken occasion to say before, we can
not approve any corruption Of the elec-
torate. 1t is quite possible, not only
possible; but probable, that Sulzer
was a party to the corruption Of the
electorate; but since conditions have
come to such a pass that 1t was i'm
possible to be elected otherwise, how
could Mr.. Sulzer have been governor?
But even If so elected, when put to the
test of real manhood he measures up to
that test, why should he not be sus-
tanned? II he is not sustained. how can
there be any hope of lessening the cor
ruption that testers throughout the
politics of the great state of New
York? f.'

BETHEL IMPROVEMENT

The Bethel Improvement associa-
ton met at Forest Hill academy last
Wednesday afternoon at o'clock,
with a good attendance, with Mr.. r..
]. Davis, the vice president, In the
chair. Several new members were en-
rolled, bringing the total up to hfty-
three, and It was decided that the next
meeting be held at Oak Ridge school
on Saturday, September 6, at $50
p. m. The leading paper read at the
Forest Hill meeting was by Miss Helen
Brandon, on Country Life. 1t was as
follows:
In looking back over the develop
ment of our country, we notice that
the progress Of western CIVILIZATION,
the modern city, the center OF thought
has been dangerously onesided; that
and force of influence in national al
fairs, has been developed to the neg
lect and in some ways at the expense
of the country. On the other hand we
agree that the welfare Of the rural
population is a matter Of paramount
Importance to the city population,
and to the nation at large. and that
the remedy for rural backwardness Is

The Presbyterian Standard is telling
the Charlotte Observer that what II
does not know about the efficacy OF
prayers for rain is a plenty. We have
our notions about this whole subject;
but we do not see where any good Is to
be accomplished in airing them. A
story, however, told by Yorkville
minister, furnishes very good Illus
tration in point. When a certain con-
gregation sought to make as condi-
tion precedent to the call of a new
pastor, a guarantee that the pastors
prayers for rain would be promptly an
swered, the pastor stipulated his will
lingness to go into the contract, pro-
vided that he would never be required
to deliver the goods except when the
entire congregation was unanimous in
its desire. AS we understand the OBJ
server, 1t Is not willing to dispute the
efficacy Of a prayer for rain under
such circumstances.

The Enquirer received this morning
a call from Mr.. w. ]. Erwin, editor and
one of the proprietors Of the Chester
Reporter. Mr.. Erwin was on his way
to Piedmont Springs with Mrs. Erwin
for brief and well deserved rest.
Speaking of the Reporter, it gives us
pleasure to say that during the past
half a dozen years it has taken its
place as one of the best and most sue
cessful semi-weekly newspapers in the
state. Under the business and me-
chanical management Of Mr.. Jake Per-
kins, and the editorial direction Of Mr..
Erwin this paper has steadily and
surely forged ahead overcoming nu-
merous difficulties in keeping abreast
with the progress of Chester and Ches-
ter county, and winning and holding a
place as an institution Of which its own
ers and makers have a right to be

The board of directors Of the peni-
tentiary has announced its intention to
open bids on September 10 for from 200
to 800 convicts to be employed In THE
penitentiary for the manufacture of
leather goods and furniture. We had
hoped that the knitting mill controversy
had entirely put stop to the use of
convicts for manufacturing purposes;
but it seems not. Economic dealing
with convicts along humane lines is a
difficult proposition; but we do not
like the idea of hiring them to individ-
uals or private corporations.

one whose editors and proprietors rec
ognize subserviency to nobody and re-

while we do not know that the Re-

ever been subjected to decisive test
in this particular. we believe that in
the event of such a test it would pass
through a fire unscathed.

are unable to see anything else than
that amendment which provides for
certain agricultural securities as ba-

all that Mr. Henry has been fighting
for. If it does not comprehend all that
Mr.. Henry has been fighting for, and
yet Mr.. Henry is satisfied. we do not
see why Mr.. Glass should care to dis
pute the matter any further.

LAMAR A BRAZEN LIAR
Whether he Lied Then or Now is a
Question Difficult to
Answer

Washington, July 3.-Davfd La
mar, Wall street operator and one
time conf1dante of Russell Sage. j.
R. Keene and other fnanciers, amaz-
ed the Senate lobby committee yes
terday by smilingly and frankly tes-
tifying that it was he who imper-
'sonated Representatives Palmer and
Riordan in telephone conversations
with Lewis Cass -Ledyard, Paul d.
.Cravath, Chairman Robert S. Lovett
of the Union Pacific board and other
prominent f1nanciers, telling them
that Edward Lauterbach, a New
York lawyer, could do great things
for them in Washington.
Lamar also astonished the commit
tee by making a detailed charge that
the Union Pacific railroads books
had been forged in 1901 on an item
covering sS2,0O0,OOO and that as one
result Kuhn, Loeb & Co. and the
late E. H. Hartman had laid the
foundations of gigantic fortunes.
When Lamar had finished Paul d.
Cravath of counsel for the Union Pa
cific put in prepared statement to
the committee alleging that Lamar's
charge concerning the sS2,000,0 200
was part of bear campaign to de-
press Union Pacific stock, of which
the railroads officials have had
knowledge for several days.

GOOD REASON WHY GREEN
Should Go Wild With Rage and Try
to Riddle the AsSaiIant of His
Sisters Child
(Tampa Times, 2nd)

Hillsville on a small scale came
near being repeated in the Hillsbor-
ough county court house this morn
ing when G. E. Green of Sylvania,
Ca, shot three times at w E. Mat
tox in Judge Whitaker's court room
at II o'clock Mattox is charged
with raping Green's niece, an eleven
year-old girl. No one was hit, tho
Judge Whitaker, Judge c. B. Park
hill and Attorney H. P. Bailey had
close calls.
Deputy Sheriff VIII Woodward and
Sheriff Spencer disarmed Green and
took him to the county Jail
Mattox was arrested couple of
weeks ago on charge made by Mrs.
Dora Green, of an attempt at rape
on the child, who had been living
with Mattox and his wife and is a
relative of Mrs. Mattox
Mattox was thrown in the county
jail and the case was set for hear
ing today before Judge Whitaker
A few days ago an attorney named
Sheppard came to Tampa from Syl-
vania, Ga, and had several confer
ences with those interested in the
case. He is said to be a relative of
Mattox.
When court opened this morning
Deputy Sheriff Woodward, who had
been working on the case, had to re-
port that he could not find Mrs. Mat
tox nor the child, who was expected
to be the principal witness for the
state. They are supposed to be in
Georgia and Woodward is frank to
say it looks as if the child had been
taken away to prevent her from tes-
tifying.
Green Begins Shooting
IF the law won't get you, / will"
screamed Green, mad with rage, and
he whipped out pistol and began
firing at Mattox

after it was over. The Mattox fam
