SMALL CHANGE IN
PRICE OF COTTON
Evening-Up- by Shorts and De-
mand for New Crop Held
List Steady.

NEW YORK. Feb. lin sympathy
with narrow trading in Liverpool and
disappointing cables, the local cotton
market opened inactive to-day, with
first prices / to points lower than
Tuesdays close. The only feature of
the opening was the buying of new
crop positions by ring scalpers. The
selling was somewhat light, coming
mostly from the uptown crowd. There
was an absence of aggressiVeness on
either side and consequently f1uctua-
tons were within a narrow range.
Sentiment continues bearish, but trad
ers predict better tone soon because
of the scarcity of cotton.
Shorts covering over Thursdays hol-
iday furnished virtually the sole support
of the market during the early ses-
sion.
The market was featureless during
the afternoon session, with the eXcep-
ton of scattered buying by spot people
and demand for summer positions This
held the list steady around last night s
close. Wall street sent in limited SELL
ing orders, while the ring stood looking
on, having evened up over the holiday
during the initial trading.
At the close the market was teady,
with prices at net advance of to Z
points from the closing quotations of
Tuesday.

Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1914-02-10

President Wilson has made it clear
that he proposes to do everything in
his power to secure the repeal Of the
law which provides for the exemption
of American ships from Panama canal
tolls. notwithstanding that the Demo-
cratic platform demands such exemp-
ton. AS matters now stand, American
ships have monopoly Of the coast
wise trade. No foreign ship is allow
ed to carry merchandise between
American ports. The theory Of this
exemption was to help build up mer-
chant marine. 1t Is fact that the
coastwise trade of the United States
is far greater than the ocean trade be-
tween any two countries in the world.
Exemption of American ships from
Panama canal tolls would be equiva-
lent to a subsidy Of American ships
and would give them a tremendous
advantage over foreign ships. This
would be all right except for the fact
that the American coastwise trade Is
now controlled by big monopoly, and
the exemption would be of no benefit
to the American people either in de-
veloping more competition or stimula-
ting the building of additional ships.
Neither is it probable that consumers
would get any benefit from such ex-
emption as might be accorded to
American ships in the matter of canal
tolls. There is good deal that might
be said on the whole question; but
we are inclined to think that Mr.. Will
son knows what he is talking about
and that he is right.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1914-02-10

That is an interesting special from
Columbia to the News and Courier
telling of an amicable meeting be-
tween Senators Tillman and McLaur-
in; but we want to say that we have
never accepted as the truth the reason
Of their original falling out. People
who are familiar with Tillmans politi-
cal career understand very we'll that
Hon. John Gary Evans was his favor
ite lieutenant, and that his plans not
only contemplated the installation Of
Mr.. Evans as his successor in the gov
ernor's chair; but later the putting of
this gentleman in the United States
senate. 1t will be remembered that in
the primary campaign that followed
the expiration Of Mr.. McLaurin's ap-
pointive term as senator, Senator
Tillman and all Of his closest friends
supported Mr.. Evans and did every
thing they could to secure his election.
AS the result Mr.. McLaurin went to
the United States senate absolutely
without any thanks to Senator Till
man. In pursuing their respective
ways the two men drifted apart, and
Senator McLaurin's personal influence
and Importance in the conduct of the
government became greater than Sen
ator Tillman's. This fact and the old
political antagonism in our opinion
ranked Senator Tillman to such an
extent as to finally bring about the
rupture. However, there has never
been anything spiteful or malicious in
Senator McLaurin's makeup, and it is
a fact that he has always felt and ex-
pressed admiration for certain quail
ties Of heart and mind he was able to
see in Senator Tillman. 1t is gratify-
ing to know that the two men have at
last met and shaken hands; but so
far as Senator McLaurin is concerned,
we do not believe there has been a
week since the memorable rupture
when he would not have been willing
to take part in just such an occurrence
as that reported last Saturday.

When told last night that the Lever
agricultural bill had passed the senate
without a dissenting vote, Secretary
of the Navy Josephus Daniels said:
That is the greatest contribution
made by a South Carolinian in many,
many years. 1t means great benefit to
the farmers of the nation" In his
speech at the Y. M. c. A. banquet to-
night, Secretary Daniels elaborated
somewhat upon the Lever bill. South
Carolina does not have to go back to
the days Of Calhoun" said he, ito
number her statesmen. A man who
can draw measure Of such import
ance as the Lever bill, can work year
after year for its success and finally
get 1t through congress without dis
senting vote. reflects glory upon his
state."-Greenville News.
1t gives us much pleasure to endorse
what Secretary Daniels has said. We
have been watching Mr.. Lever since he
succeeded the lamented DR.. Stokes,
and we have been impressed with the
practical value of all his efforts in be-
half of his state. 1t is true that on one
occasion he was unable to agree with
a certain free lumber plank in the
Democratic platform, and got fought
for It; but he was dead right, and his
people wisely sustained him, as they
should have done. Mr.. Lever is a
practical, patriotic statesman who
feels that his main business as rep
resentative is to try to be worth while
to his people, and his efforts have been
of value not only to his own district
and to South Carolina; but to the
whole country

because they thought that the college
would serve the state to the best ad-
vantage while 1t remained out OF pol
itics. Senator Tillman said that he had
been informed that before his death
Thomas G. Clemson bought Fort Hill,
the plantation of John c. Calhoun,
which he willed to the state on condi-
ton that college be established there
to be named Clemson college and to be
governed by a self-perpetuating board
of trustees. Senator and Mrs. T1llman
came to Columbia yesterday morning
from Washington. The senator testi-
fled before the committee from the
general assembly charged with the in
vestigation of the management of the
state hospital for the insane. Senator
and Mrs Tillman left Columbia for
Trenton, yesterday afternoon. Next
Tuesday the senator will go with Mrs:
Tillman to Atlanta, where she will
take a rest cure for two weeks. While
they were in Columbia yesterday SEN
ator and Mrs. Tillman were the guests
of DR.. and Mrs ]. w. Babcock.
DIR. c. T. Wyche, speaker pro tenn
of the house was stricken with par
alysis last Friday night while presid-
ing over the proceedings. He was TAX
en- to the hospital, the house adjourn
ing in the meantime. Information is
to the effect that the attack was not
especially serious.

On Saturday, the editor Of The En-
quirer received a personal letter from
leading York county banker, stating
in effect: Il have read with much in
terest The Enquirer's reference to
Governor Bleases message to the gen.
eral assembly on the subject Of re-
funding the state debt, and would be
glad to read the full text Of this mes
sage. / have not seen any reference
to the document in any other paper
and if you will lend me your copy,
will thank you for it." Our copy, OF
course was promptly sent as request
ed. In this connection we will say that
while we felt that the public should
see this message, on account ol
the fact that it is so lengthy, and there
are so many of our readers who would
not undertake to read it, we did not
feel warranted in going to the heavy
extra expense necessary to present l,
in full. However, we are advised that
Governor Blease has had printed quite
number of extra copies, and we fee
safe in saying that any individual who
may desire to read the message car
secure a copy by addressing Col. John
K. Aull, private secretary to the gov
ernor, Columbia, S. c.

Two itinerant medicine venders
who had been doing business on the
streets during the week were taken
before Magistrate Conner on Saturday
and fined 500 each for peddling medi-
cine without first having paid the coun-

ders claimed that they having paid
the license required by the town,
which is separate corporation,
were not liable for the county license

In our opinion it would be money
well spent if there should be provision
for the official publication Of quarter
ly reports of the county treasurer, or
the county supervisor, showing where
the public funds go, who gets them,
and what for. We recognize that in
making such a suggestion we lay our
selves liable to be misunderstood, as
there are so many people who are
ready to charge that the only good of
such publication is to the newspapers.
We beg leave to state, however, that
our purpose is not selfish. While we
are quite we'll aware of the fact that
from the standpoint of accuracy Of re-
production and comparative circula-
ton. The Enquirer is the logical me-
dunn of such a publication, it does not
follow that The Enquirer would have
to be used. We will say also that at
the rates allowed by statute the pub
lication is not at all attractive to US
from the standpoint Of compensation.
But we sincerely believe that there Is
no better way of safe guarding the eX-
penditure of public money than by
general publicity of expenditures.

I'VE have not seen a great deal In
the published proceedings Of the asy-
lum investigation so far that seems to
show any real necessity: for such in
vestigation. There is friction to be
sure, and lots of it; but the friction
seems to arise out Of the question as to
whether the asylum is to be controlled
by the administration which is re-
sponsible for it's management, or by
the opposition. Senator Tillman, has
evidently butted in on the opposition
side, and his charges were based upon
Imagination instead Of upon facts. In
stead of trying to manipulate the sale
of the asylum property as charged by
Senator Tilman, all the evidence SO
far shows that Governor Blease has
been doing his utmost to prevent such
manipulation with view to eventual
ly converting the big Columbia plant
into a tuberculosis sanitorium.

unless they should attempt to sell be-
yond the corporate limits Of the town.
One of the venders had written opin-
ions to this effect from attorneys in
different counties; but the magistrate
held that they were liable all the same.
The medicine people insisted that they
were right; that they had been doing
business in many counties Of the state,
and had not received such treatment
ELSEWHERE. Because, however, they
were ready to leave anyway. they de-
cided that they would rather pay up
than engage in an expensive test that
could be Of no advantage to them even
If they should win. After being fined
by the magistrate, one Of the venders
placed his wares with the York Drug
store, and sold orders on it, continuing
to do about as good a business as he
was doing before the authorities in
terfered in the matter. During the day
also he had lot of fun playing on the
sympathies of the crowd by referring
to the things he wanted to say but
could not say because he was scared"
There is q movement on foot on the
part Of the Board Of Trade to have the
business people of Yofkville to vote
"Yes" and mo" on a proposition to
levy a reasonable license tax on all To-
cal businesses and a heavier tax on
outsiders who come temporarily after
local shekels, for the purpose Of rails
ing additional revenues. The immedi-
ate object Of the proposed tax Is to
raise funds with which to pay the
towns half Of the money necessary to
concrete the Liberty street sidewalks
from Congress street to the Southern
depot. Some people are voting mo"
and some are voting Yes" There are
two sides to the question involved. In
the first place, the desirability Of con-
creting the side walks Of East Liberty
street is not to be questioned. The
condition of the towns finances based
upon regular sources Of income, has
been a matter Of very considerable
uncertainty for some time past. or
the right Of the town to levy license
tax on all businesses, there is no ques-
ton, and we are inclined to think that
IL the people should be informed where
they are at, such a tax might be de-
sirable But it is very well not to for
get that while the object Of this pro-
posed license tax Is the concreting Of
the Liberty street sidewalks, and that
the proceeds from said tax will prob
ably be used for that specific purpose
and nothing else, still it should be un-
derstood that the general effect will be
the raising Of more revenues for all
purposes, for with the revenue arising
from the license tax going on the street
work that portion Of the general reve-
nues arising from other sources and
now going to street work will be avail
able for other purposes. That the town
government Is badly skimped for reve-
nues, there Is not much reason to
doubt, and neither is there much ques-
ton Of the desirability Of license
tax; but before other taxes are levied,
it will probably be just as we'll to let
the people know the present condition
of their municipal finances.

generally observed as formerly. 1t used
to be the custom Of many Of the couIl-

Yorkville, to transmit local valentines
through the mail free Of postage; but
that old time has long since past. The
postoffice having resolved down to q
strictly business basis, no official
would dare think of such thing. How
ever, many Of the young people, as
we'll as some of the older ones, still
observe the custom Of exchanging val

that the day is to be entirely forgot
