News and VIEWS OF YESTERDAY

Bringing Up Records Of the Past and
Giving the Younger Readers Of To-
day a Pretty Comprehensive Knowl-
edge of the Things that Most Con-
eerned Generations that Have Gone
Before.
The first installment of the notes
appearing under this heading was
published In our issue of November IA,
1913. The notes are being prepared
by the editor as time and opportunity
permit. Their purpose is to bring
into review the events Of the past tor
the pleasure and satisfaction OF the
older people and for the entertainment
and instruction of the present genera
tion. Having commenced with the
year 1856. it is the desire OF the editor
to present from the records. trutnruI
and accurate picture Of conditions as
they existed Immediately preceeding
the Civil war. This will be followed
by a review Of the war period, includ-
ing the names Of York county soldiers
who went to the war singly and IN
companies, and then will follow the
events of the Reconstruction period
and the doings Of the Ku-Klux. All
along the editor will keep In mind In
cidents of personal interest, marriages
and deaths Of we'll known people
weather events and general happen
ings out Of the ordinary. In the mean
time persons who may desire further
information about matters that may
have been only briefly mentioned are
invited to call at the office OF the edi-
tor and examine the original RECORDS.

LOOKS VERY MODERN
Chinese Declaration Of Principles 600
Years Old.

More than 800 years ago a states
man in China set up the following de-
claration Of principles:
1. It is the duty Of the government
to secure plenty and relaxation for the
common people.
2. The state should take possession
Of all important resources and become
the main and debating employer In
commerce, industry and transporta-
ton, with the view Of preventing the
working classes being ground to the
dust by the monopolizing truth.
3. Government tribunals should fix
prices Of provisions and merchandise.
T. The rich should pay all the taxes;
the small owner should pay nothing
as long as he remains small.
s. Old-age pensions.
6. The state to insure work for
workingmen.
Z. The state to assign land, distrib-
ute seed and direct sowing, so that
there shall neither be cornering of
food by the rich nor the lack Of food
for the poor.
8. Destruction Of usurers.
9. Confiscation of large and crimi-
nally won estates, that is, retroactive
laws and restitution instead Of go,
and sin no more, but keep what you got
by former SINS"
Seems to me that some such doc
trines have been proclaimed as new
by some still-living publicists In
America. Maybe a case Of reincarna-
ton like. W. Mackey in ST. Louis
Republic.

Work, says a London dispatch, has
been commenced on another great
scheme to reclaim by irrigation vast
tracts Of desert in the Soudan. 1t Is
believed it can be made to add enor-
mously to the cotton output OF the
British empire. The tract which Is to
be watered Is known as the Gizra ter
ritory. 1t lies between the Blue and
White Niles, below Khartoum, and
consists Of 100000 acres The force
and flow Of the two rivers Is sufiicien-
to water the entire district when prop
erly harnessed. The proposal is TO
build two dams south Of Khartoum,
one over each Of the rivers. Thus the
tract between the streams will be irri-
gated, while at the same time the
force Of the water flowing into Egypt
will be controlled. At present the Blue
Nile comes down in raging flow, and
the White Nile, flowing in steadier
fashion, combines with 1t to make a
huge overflow The building Of the
two dams will enable the flow to be
properly regulated and will practically
mean the final barnessing Of the Nile.

about who can ride the weight give
him the colors. We will waive the
weighing out. He shall mount at
once"
The parties to the controversy were
now surrounded by an eager, excited
crowd, many Of whose members had
bet heavily on The Whip and were in
terested for that and other reasons OF
pure sportsmanship to see the pride of
the Beverley stables start.
Lady Diana pressed herself for
ward.
ANY one we name, Lord Clan
more?" she asked.
"Any one, Lady Dr." he responded
gallantly. Rules be hanged at time
like this! The jockey club does what
it likes"
At this stanch speech the crowd
cheered.

her little fists clinched. please re-

There's only one way. You promise

YES" returned Clanmore and

"I name-myself," she said quick
ly. "Give me my colors."
Denham and Clanmore both protest.
ed that it was impossible, that it was
unsafe, that it had never been done.

ended Clanmore.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1914-01-30

Then let her now," the girl per-
sisted
In their chivalric mood Clanmore
and Denham might have consented to
anything, but Kelly put stop to this
emotional mood and recalled to both
Brancaster and Lady Diana the solid
basis on which they had hoped to set
their fortunes.
And If she does ride" he shouted,
''the ring won't pay. 1t isn't racing"
For a moment it seemed as though
| this ultimatum of the ring had indeed
ended the whole matter, but Bran
caster turned to the crowd Of racing
enthusiasts.
Then 1 will tell you what is rae
ing" he shouted in his turn. You, all
Of you who have backed the horse-I
will tell you what is racing-what Is
honesty-what is sport, fair play.
Will you stand by and see yourselves
robbed?"
The crowd was catching fire at his
invective There were cries Of mo,
no, MOI"
II have given my honor" he went
on, still in his strong voice, that the
police shall take the lad the minute
he's past the post, but they say No!
What do you say? There's your
jockey, and there's your horse. Let
the lad go. Will you lose your mon
ey, or will you follow me?"
And the young earl hurled himself
upon the nearer of the two detec-
tives He had nearly freed Anson
when the mob realized what he was
doing. In an instant they were about
the two detectives. Despite the as
sistance of Kelly given to the detect
ives, they were hustled from the pad
dock, while the jockey was fairly
hurled upon The Whip.
| The moment he felt the nervous
horseflesh between his knees he was
off upon the course almost automatic
ally.
At the signal from Lord Clanmore,
who realized the necessity Of haste.
the starting signal was given, and
they were off.
| Now it seemed as though the events
of the few minutes preceding the ac-
tual race had done their work with
Anson. He was alive to his finger
tips and never did his work better.
The Whip, too, had profited by the
long delay Her nerves had been
stretched to the breaking point, and
she found the greatest relief in furi-
Gus action just as her rider did.
1t was with difficulty that Anson
prevented his mount from taking the
lead at the first moment the race be-
gan, but when they were in sight of
the post he had passed all save the
leader. Then without using spur or
whip he simply shook out his reins.
In her wonderful stride The Whip
passed the leader and, half a length
ahead of her, reached the post.
Into the paddock rode Anson, the
victor, on The Whip. The jockey
face was white, and he was trembling
violently. The race had told far more
on him than on the splendid Whip,
whose respiration was still even and
regular, though, of course, consider
ably quickened.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1914-01-30

The center Of a cheering knot, Lady
Diana and Brancaster pressed toward
The Whip, their arms around one an
other and their dignity as peer and
marquis heir completely gone for the
moment. Somehow the story Of their
romance and Of what they had at
stake on the race had got out, and
the rarely sentimental English were
ready to weep or laugh with them
or do both in turn.
The two detectives met Lord Bever-
ley near The Whip. The one in au-
thority had an open telegram in his
hand. His whole demeanor showed
that there was no intention upon his
part now Of arresting the jockey.
my lord" he said very humbly to
Beverley, we've just had wire from
Scotland Yard. The warrant on your
application has been issued"
Beverley turned sternly upon his
cousin, Captain Sartoris. and Mrs
DAquila, where they stood in cor
ner of the paddock.
Then don't let them slip away" he
said Arrest them at once"
The detectives seized Sartoris and
Mrs. D'Aquila and moved out Of the
paddock.
Then, unmindful Of all the crowd,
Brancaster again put his arms about
Lady Diana.
Now, what's this?" demanded the
Marquis OF Beverley.
Lady Diana raised her blue eyes to
her grandfather.

said, beginning a quick recital. "Once
