LETTERS WITH PACKAGES

The postoff1ce department Is slowly
and surely removing the freak excep-
tions that have heretofore hampered
the parcels post service. One discrim-
ination, the reason for which nobody
could understand, was against the
sending Of seeds for planting by par
cells post. Also heretofore it was not
allowable to attach letter Of explana-
tion to a parcels post package, even
though both the letter and the parcel
carried the full postage required for
each. The seed discrimination has
been removed and an order has been
sent out clarifying the situation with
regard to letters and parcels post
packages. This order is as follows:
When the sender desires that par
eel Of fourth class matter on which the
postage is fully prepaid, with stamps
affixed, at the rate for that class, be
accompanied with q communication
which Is not e. permissible inclosure at
the fourth class rate. the communica-
tion may be placed in an envelope, and
after the full amount of postage at the
first class rate is affixed to the envel-
ope it may be tied or otherwise secure
ly attached to the outside Of the parcel
in such manner as to prevent its sep
aration therefrom and not to interfere
with the address on the parcel. The
envelope shall be addressed to CORES
pond with the address on the parcel.
Parcels to which such communications
are attached shall in all cases be treat
ed as fourth class mail"

how the leaders of the unemployed dis
vulged their plan for capturing the
United States government. There was
to be a gathering of many armies" at
Chicago, according to Grimes, the men
reaching that city as best they might.
The leaders, according to the militia
spy believed they could assemble 5O0.-
900 men there. Then, moving in force:
they would capture the Rock Island
arsenal. Railroads out of Chicago
would be commandered, said the lieu.
tenant, and the unemployed force, well
armed, would be rushed toward wash
ington where 1: would have the Feder-
al government at its mercy. The plan
was then to spread a nation wide re-
bellion of working men against en-
ployers Of labor, which would depose
] all civil and military authorities and
install the army's leaders as supreme.
Among other remarkable statements
was one that the leaders were relying
| for support on a large Canadian con-
| tingent. General Charles Kelly's
army which began its march on Wash :
| ington 1900 strong from San Francisco
ten days ago, tonight had been dis
persed. Only handful Of irreconcila-
bles remained tonight in the camp on
the Yolo levee to which the army was
driven last week by Sacramento depu-
| ties.

advantage of the state

Another advantage of the state cot
ton warehouse system would be to
enable cotton raisers to get full value
for long staple cotton. 1t has been de-
monstrated beyond question that most
cotton lands of this state are capable
of producing superior grades of cotton
and it has also been demonstrated that
it is next to impossible to get fair
price for the superior grades of cot
ton. There are various reasons why
this last proposition is true, and one
of these reasons is that only here and
there can be found buyer who Is
willing to make a speciality Of long
staple to the exclusion Of other grades
and because of certain conflict of in
terests between those localities which
now dominate the long staple market
and those localities which desire to
break into that market. Under state
warehouse system which would nee
essarily include responsible expert
graders, it would be easy to concen-
trate all the high class cotton in the
state in such a manner that it could
be sold to the best possible advantage
and in a way to give the producer ev-
cry dollar that was coming to him.

The Yorkville Graded school base
ball team lost the second game played
with the Bailey Military Institute, 20 to

Wednesday morning.
First Lieut.. B. F. Smith was elect
ed captain of Co. L., 1st. Infantry, N
G. S. c., at an election held in the ar

had no opposition. Elections for first
and second lieutenants are to be held
soon.
1t Is an eight room instead Of a
four room cottage that Mr.. H. B. Laws
is to erect on College street. The plans
are being prepared by Architect Allen
with Mr.. ]. r. Logan, and the cottage
is going to be an unusually creditable
piece Of work. Mr.. Laws hopes to give
out his contract within the next few
weeks.
The attraction at the Lyric yester-
day was a beautiful hand painted. two

Eden" 1t brought out crowded houses
It was the old, old story Of love. hap
piness, unfaithfulness, jealousy, hu-
initiation, despair and tragedy. winding
up at last in the usual good old way
with reconciliation and the triumph OF
true love. The patrons were highly
pleased not only with the beautiful
coloring; but with The whole story.
There is much interest among the
small boys Of Yorkville as to the Boy
Scout movement. The scouts have or
dered their uniforms which should ar
rive this week. Owing to the rough
weather the scouts have not taken any
hikes" but with the coming Of spring
they will very likely take many such
trips There are now four patrols with
thirty-two members, and this includes
most Of the boys who are Of the re-
quired age-12 to IS. However, there
are many little fellows ten and eleven
years old, who look on the scouts with
a feeling of longing and who say they
will also be scouts when they reach
the age Of twelve.

ing the territory in which it circulates
as Is to be found in the case OF any
newspaper in the land, regardless OF
class or frequency Of issue. These sub

they have to, nor because they have

cause they know it, have confidence in
it, and want it. What is more they

istrate James H. Fowles has received
check for $3.50 to cover the two bad
checks" given Heyward's Pharmacy
and the Carolina National bank by N:
c.. Creech, a member Of the house OF
representatives from Barnwell county.
A warrant was issued for the arrest OF
Mr.. Creech who pleaded the ten days
exemption under the Constitution, and
Magistrate Fowles held action in abey-
ance by accepting the plea. The check
sent the magistrate to cover the checks
given by Representative Creech, ac-

Representative Creech, at Kline's.
There Is still another check out against
Representative Creech for SO. which
was given the Lower Main street bank.

the case. The remittance. said the
magistrate, annulled the criminal ac-

THE COUNTY HOME

1t is quite probable that there will be
a new county home before the end of
the present year, and If 80 it will be
sufficient to answer every reasonable
purpose.
There is now in the county treasury
the sum Of $4,500 intended for use on
the proposed new building. and the
county board Of commissioners is au-
thorized to borrow $4,000 more. max
ing $20,50O in all.
According to the present notion OF
the county commissioners the best
| thing to do Is to sell all Of the county
home farm except sixty acres and build
the new home on the sixty acres re-
served.
1t would be easy to find on the pres
ent farm several tracts Of sixty acres
that would be more desirable for de-
velopment than the tract on which the
present buildings are located; but 1t is
a question as 20 whether it would not
be best to hold on to the buildings now
in use, and for that reason the new
buildings may be erected pretty close
to the spot on which the present build
ings are located.

that the interval may be used to con-
vert a minority into majority, and Of
ten minorities run roughshod over ma
jorities, simply because in some cases
majorities do not include enough men,
bers with sufficient knowledge Of par
liamentary law to uphold their RIGHTS.
So far as The Enquirer has informa-
ton there is no disposition in any
quarter of York county to resort to
any Of the questionable expedients re-
ferred to in the coming club re-organ-
izations, and it is to be hoped that no
such expedients will be resorted to-
Under conditions where both sides are
disposed to be fair, there Is no danger
of trouble; but where one side under
takes unfair advantage Of the other.
the hope Of harmony grows faint.

The fool woman in Paris the other
day who sought to save her husbands
political career by numbering an editor
only succeeded in running both her hus-
band and herself. There was time
in the history Of the world maybe
when thuggery and murder accomplish
ed some temporary advantage for those
who resorted to such expedients; but
if there ever was such a time 1T is
passed The world ais a whole is toe
enlightened for such things to pros
per. Maybe this editor had really
wronged the woman's husband and
maybe she only thought so. If he hac
really wronged the man, and 1t were
fact that the courts could not be re.
lied upon for justice, then the bes
thing left for the woman and her hus-
band was to wait.
