This paragraph is for the benefit OF
our exchanges rather than Of our sub
scribers. A representative Of the ia
cobs Advertising Agency at Clinton,
called upon us yesterday with a propo-
sition that we turn over our foreign
advertising business to the agency on
basis Of 4 cents an Inch per thousand
circulation. OF course, recognizing the
fact that the representative was only
an agent, he was treated courteously;
but we hope he will go home and tell
Mr. Jacobs some Of the things we said
to him. There never has been a time
when newspaper Of thousand cir
culation could produce advertising
space at cents an inch. and we do not
believe that there is such paper in
the state today that can produce such
advertising at twice that figure. The
agent, however, said he had made con-
tracts with quite a number Of papers.
OF course it is none Of our business
what other papers do, and equally OF
course it is none Of our business to go
out of our way to offend a man who
may be making a living travelling for
Mr.. Jacobs, but we would esteem 1t
luxurious pleasure to tell Mr. Jacobs
himself what we thought Of him after
he had made such proposition to us
in his own proper person. No, don't
get the idea that we are offended on
our own account. We recognize tn,
advertising agent as a legitimate insti-
tuition; but as he is the agent Of the
advertiser rather than the agent Of the
newspaper, we insist that so far as we
are concerned, he must look to the ad-
vertiser for his hire. We are not will
ing to be a party to an arrangement
that enables him to catch 'em a COM
in and a gwine," as Mr.. Jacobs Is evil
IDENTIFY trying to do.

The Federal income tax returns
should be made from January 1, to De-
cember 81, and should be filed with
Hon. D. C. Hayward in Columbia, by
March 1.
The Rock Hill Record refuses to be-
lieve that Mr.. J. ]. Keller committed
suicide. We have no hesitation in say
ing that there is much mystery about
the case; but from all the evidence
available there appears to be no other
conclusion.
Although it is only one month until
The Enquirer club contest closes, 1t Is
not too late for new clubmakers to
come in after the smaller premiums,
and we will say that clubmakers who
have been working from the beginning
can still find names to add If they will
go after them.
According to the figures Of Commits
sioner Watson, fully IL per cent Of the
population of York county, and close
to 25 per cent Of the white population
is connected with the cotton mills. This
is a development Of the last thirty-five
years. Previous to then the county had
no mills.
Some funny things happen in the
courts. The Ware farm was being sued
for damages sustained by a negro boy
who was caught in gin belt. One of
the negro witnesses for the plaintiff
went over to the defense, and denied
certain statements he was alleged to
have made in behalf Of the plaintiff.
After he was through the attorney for
the plaintiff asked If there was any
thing else, and the witness said no. ex-
cept that plaintiff had offered him $40
to give the testimony he had denied.
Attorney for the plaintiff asked, Where
was that?" The witness replied. In
your office, and you said you would see
it paid" The plaintiffs attorney went
on the stand and contradicted the ne
gro's testimony.

MAIL ORDER BUSINESS.

From time to time we have COM
plants about the existence and growth
of the mail order business in this COM
munity.I
Some local business people Of the
county complain that outside foreign
ers sell goods to our own people. which
goods are carried in stock by home
dealers in better quality and at lower
prices.
We know it to be IA fact that there
are few things that the local dealer
cannot furnish to better advantage
than they can be obtained from the
foreign dealer.
Eut the remedy for the situation COM
planned Of does not lie in complaints.
Tt lies in going after the business just
like the mail order people go after it.
Mail order people go after business
by advertising in the newspapers and
ma gaines and by circularizing. Ex-
cept for the newspapers and maga-
zines the foreign mail order houses
could not exist.
Every business man, whatever his
line. who desires to extend the range
Of his business beyond the limits Of
his immediate personal acquaintances,
should try newspaper advertising.
There is no better local medium for
advertising in the state Of South Caro-
lima than The Yorkville Enquirer. 1t
covers it's field with thoroughness
that is remarkable, ard the per centage
Of it's subscribers who love 1t, and who
have faith in it Is as large as Is to be
fou nd in the case of any other newspa-
per anywhere.
People who keep their names and
businesses before the people in the COL
umns of The Yorkville Enquirer, get
favorable consideration from the peo-
pie who read the paper, and all things
being equal, when it comes to trading
they get preference above other people
who do not do this.
Scores and scores Of business people
have told us Of many instances to back
up the above statement and we know
WI at we are talking about. The busi-
ness people who read this know 1t Is
true, and large per cent Of our gen.
eral readers know it is true.
The best way then for business peo-
pie to fight the competition Of the for
eien mail order houses, Is to keep their
names and their business before their
own people in the columns Of The
Enquirer.

assailed business men for their appar-
ent lack of interest. Talk OF conserv-
ing our resources," he exclaimed.
What resources have We to compare
with our young men? The nation it
self Is dependent upon them" Secre-
tary Bryan today praised the scout
leaders for the excellent work they
were doing in training boys In the
right direction and helping them to
develop those qualities of body, mind
and spirit which would make them
valuable citizens. Secretary Daniels
saide.R was the greatest thing in the
world for grown men to keep in touch
with the enthusiasm of youth" with
the exception of religion, he added,
the two things in life worth while
were enthusiasm and initiative. James
E. West, chief scout, reported on the
growth of the movement. He said
he had learned that the national So
cialist party had investigated the
several scout organizations in this
country and compiled circular favor
able to the movement. He recon-
mended that the country be divided
into eight districts with field man In
charge of each.

We have not yet been able to see
much use for all that row in connec-
ton with the asylum: but we have
been trying to give the developments
as fully as practicable, more especially
because Of the local interest involved
1t is impossible for The Enquirer to
print all the testimony, because there
is so much Of it, and because we are
dependent entirely on the reports that
are being printed in other papers. AL
though we are doing the best we can
we are not satisfied with the presen-
tation We are making; but at the same
time we feel that it will enable our
readers to get about as satisfactory al
idea Of the whole thing as is to be got
ten from any other paper.

visit Of the general assembly to Char

that if the legislators should spend
half their time studying the state at
first hand "the output Of legislation
would be smaller and better Now
while we admit that there might be
something in this proposition if fol-
lowed out literally, we submit that the
visit to Charleston is not to be taken
into consideration. When Legislature
or other body falls into the hands OF
those Charleston people, there is no
time left to do anything. They are kept
too busy having a good time. But we
hope the News and Courier will not
understand us as objecting to this Wis

The Niger in the Woodpile.-The
asylum investigation has brought to
light nothing thus far, save rotten pol
itics and petty Jealousy on the part or
the male assistant physicians, Of the
woman assistant, who appears, from
the record, to be hard working and
competent official, albeit rather offici-
Gus in the display of her ability and
efficiency in comparison with the
methods Of her male co-workers. The
male doctors seem to have resented
bitterly the individous comparison to
which they were daily forced to sub
NIT, so they Matched up little cabal
to rid the institution and themselves
of the irritating element that disturbed
their repose and robbed sinecure Of
it's attractive features. Before the in
vestigation is ended some light may be
shed on the long hinted at real estate
deal that is supposed to be the real
niger in the wood pile, but this may
be too big thing to be touched upon
by a mere investigating committee,
and the probe may end without going
so far afield.-Sumter Item.

South Carolina Legislators Oppos-

South Carolina has made more extern
sive and more intelligent provision for
the higher education of women than
has any other state in the Union, and
she has not even thought Of a hold up.
But then even South Carolina cannot
afford to establish and maintain every
new scheme that just anybody especi-

The Bulgarians recently defeated by

The Bulgarians recently defeated by
the Greeks, have started a newspaper
propaganda trying to make sentiment
against their conquerors on account Of
alleged horrible atrocities practiced in
the war; The New York American is
leading the Bulgarian effort in Ameri-
ca, and the Greek newspaper Atlantis
Of New York, is standing up for its
countrymen. We are printing an ar
ticle from the Atlantis on the subject
on another page of today's paper. From
such information as we have been able
to gather it appears that while horri-
BILE atrocities were committed on both
Sides the Bulgarians began it all, and
even at that the Greeks practiced for
bearance that was remarkable under
the circumstances.

The Sanders bill intended to abolish
segregated districts in towns and cities
has been finally shelved after a lot OF
fillibustering. This bill is one that
would have probably passed If the
members could have been forced to a
direct vote. 1t was one Of those propo-
sitions, the righteous purpose OF
which no one can dispute; but Of the
practicability of which many are hon
estly doubtful. Few Of the legislators
believe the bill is calculated to accom-
plish the results desired, yet they are
not willing to take an open stand for
fear of being misunderstood. We be-
lieve the passage Of the bill would be
for the best welfare Of the state.

Sunday was DR.. J. E. Walmsley, Of

ty Sunday School association. DR.

highly interesting talk Of the accom-
plishments Of the association ant
pointed out in detail the several diff
ferent phases Of the work that con.
fronts the local organization. The pur'
pose Of the Sunday school association
which is inter- r-denominational, is tt
stimulate interest in the schools ant

that under the direction Of the above

The implication is cowardice; but we

cowardice shown is observable in the
fellow who lodges and will not vote at
all. 1t is the business of every legisla-

his people back home want him to vote
for, and if he is in doubt, he should use
his judgment and go back home and
