There has been some inquiry on
the streets as to when the first series
of bonds issued in connection with
the building Of the public water plant
becomes due. The issue consisted OF
SIG, 900 25-year bonds to bear interest
at a rate not exceeding per cent
The bonds were authorized by vote
of the people on May II, 1893, and ii
will therefore mature on May II. 1918
about four years from the present
time. No provision was ever made fol-
sinking fund, and there is no other
way for it than that these bonds must
be refunded.

THE RED MEN

The annual Great Council of the
Improved Order of Red Men Of the
South Carolina Reservation. which
was held on the Rock Hill Hunting
Grounds, and which was to continue
through Wednesday, broke up Tues
day evening. The earlier adjournment
was because rain having interferred
with the outdoor athletic programme
that had been arranged, the business
and social features of the occasion
were not sufficient to take up the in
tervening time.
Among the leading events Of the
meeting were a general meeting on
Tuesday night, a reception at Win
throp to the Red Men and Daughters
of Pocahontas, Tuesday afternoon,
and banquet Tuesday evening.
The principal business Of public in
terest was the election Of officers for
the ensuing year and the selection Of
a hunting ground for the next grand
council. The election resulted as fol-
lows:
Great sachem, A. f. Hill. Spartan
burg; great senior sycamore, o. D.
Gray, williamson; great junior sag
amore, Max G. Bryant, Rock Hill;
great chief of records, B. G. Wallace,
Sumter; great keeper of wampum, w.
M. Allen, Greenville; great prophet,
f. II. Aull, Newberry; trustees, r. l..
lumbia; great representatives, OF
to Klittner, Newberry; Cole L. Blease,
Columbia; j. p. Carlisle, Greenville;
f. H. Aull, Newberry; S. M. Clarkson,
Columbia. The next meeting will be
held at Newberry, the second Tuesday
OF next April.
The following report of the banquet
in the Chamber Of Commerce hall is
from the Rock Hill Herald Of We'd
nesday:
President D. B. Johnson, Of Win
throp college, was toastmaster, and
each speaker was introduced in par
ticularly fitting phrases DR.. Johnson
stressed the three cardinal points Of
the order freedom, friendship, chari-
ty. But the greatest of these is char
ity, he said.
Great Sachem A. f. Hill, of Spar
tanburg, was the first speaker, re-
spending to the toast THE Red Man
a Factor in Humanity" The speaker
said his greatest ambition had been
reached, when he had been placed at
the head of what he considered the
grandest and best of orders. He spoke
of the aims Of the order and COM
mended the members for their loyalty
and zeal. He spoke in high terms Of
the work Of the Daughters Of Poca-
hontas, and turned to the teachings of
Redmanship as to reverence for the
wives, mothers and sisters, who share
our every burden and joy in our pro-
motion" Home life as defined by the
tenets of the organization was also
stressed The speaker referred to
Winthrop college standing as senti-
rel. trying to do something for hu-
rnanity. Turning to the toastmaster
he declared to him that he would
have the hearty cooperation of the
Red Men Of the state, jocularly re-
marking that if he wanted anything
and the legislature would not give it
to him to call on the Red Men and they
would elect a legislature that would
give him what he wanted. He was
given an ovation as he concluded.

CONDITION OF FARM WORK

The April showers" have been
quite general throughout the county
during the past week, and in most
cases they have been welcomed; but
in the present impatient condition OF
the farmers there is pretty unani-
nous desire for let up in the rain
for blowing and planting.
A gentleman of the Glover section
reported to The Enquirer yesterday
that all the farmers up that way were
from one to two weeks behind with
their work, and he went on to say that
from such information that he had
gathered from Bowling Green and the
central part of Bethel township, es-
pecially in the neighborhood of the
mountain" but little work had been
done during the past three weeks.
A we'll known farmer of the Tirzah
neighborhood said yesterday: THE
ground has plowed up better this
spring than I have known it for many
years. The soil seemed to be mellow
er and there were fewer clods. Most
people are pretty nearly in shape to
begin planting cotton: but the ground
is still too wet However, farmers gen.
orally are in good spirits except for
their impatience, and with clearing
up of the weather will soon catch up
fully. The general outlook is good.

The Enquirer has learned with
much regret of the death Of Mr.. w.
r. Smarr of Bullocks Creek. He was
a personal and business friend OF the
publishers and has been so for more
than thirty years. In all our business
relations with him, We have found
him prompt and exact, and in per-
sonal relations we have always found
him pleasant, considerate, generous
and loyal. We know also that he has
always stood for what he considered
the best and highest welfare of his
neighborhood and the county, and we
believe that his life has been well
worth while. His family loses kind
husband and father and the county
loses a good citizen.

It is the new currency bill which
now makes the warehousing PROPOSE
ton especially inviting to Mr.. Duke
and the manufacturers. But II it's a
good proposition for them to control
the cotton crop, why isn't 1t just as
good a plan for the farmers to build
warehouses and control
it themselves? Why shouldn't they
get all the profits on the COMMONLY
that their toll and sweat have brought
forth from the earth? Certainly un-
less some definite plan for safeguard
ing the farmers interests is presented,
this is what they ought to do.-Pro-
gressive Farmer.
We hope our always patriotic and
usually level-headed contemporary
will not get lost along that line. we
are quite sure that the Progressive
Farmer understands that there must
be some very strong guarantees be-
hind warehouse certificates to make
them available at reserve banks on
the best terms, and cooperative
farmers warehouse would have to be
very strong indeed to give these guar
antees. Also a large number of dis
connected individual cooperative
warehouses, owned by farmers, would
only make it easier for patient and
persistent big business to gobble them
up and eventually carry its point. The
state can furnish all required guaran-
tees much easier than can Mr. Duke,
and the state can handle this matter
to better advantage than can any pri-
vate individual or any individual cor
poration. The state owned warehouse
is the thing. We would rather see the
farmers control the warehouse than
the warehouse control the farmers.

Wilson Brooks, Grand Keeper OF
Records Of the Council Of the United
States, brought a message from the
Great Council He complimented the
Red Men, stating that it was one OF
the biggest state councils he had ever
attended. He declared that the I'M
proved Order of Red Men was now
numbered as one Of the greatest or
ders in America, numerically ranking
fourth. 1t stands for loyalty to our
country, good citizenship, home life
and devotion to the Great Spirit, he
said. This is a generation of uplift-
ing, not of pulling down, he said, while
stressing the point that 10 Red Man
should say anything against any ira
ternal order. Try to show the people
that they should join the Red Men,
but say nothing detrimental to other
organizations. He spoke briefly OF
the work throughout the country. :,
Governor Cole L. Blease was called
on TO respond to the toast South Car
olina, The Land Of Sunshine and
Prosperity" The governor said that
it was always a pleasure to respond TO
this toast as he firmly believed South
Carolina was the greatest state in the
Union. He expressed his regret at the
Great Council not being able to attend
the exercises as outlined by the COM
mittee on entertainment ana declared
that words could not express the re-
gret Of the delegates at having to miss
the treat in store for them.
South Carolina, he said, is proud OF
her Citadel, she is proud Of her uni
versity, she is proud Of her Clemson
but all Of these fade into insignifcance
when the people turn their eyes to
Rock Hill and see in Winthrop college,
the greatest jewel Of all the earth. He
said that Rock Hill was great part
Of South Carolina Besides having
Winthrop college she has one OF the
states greatest institutions for the aid
of suffering humanity in the Fennell
Infirmary. Rock Hill should be proud
of the infirmary and its founder. Dr.
w. w. Fennell, he said, besides. He
had gone out and looked over the
green fields Of alfalfa and rem embered
that Rock Hill Is trying to teach the
remainder Of the state along agricul-
tural lines. 1t takes all Of these to
make people proud, said the governor,
not one but many. In concluding. the
governor briefly spoke Of the work or
the organization and the part the
Red Man had played in history. The
order had more soldiers in the Span
ish American war than any other or
der. They were ever ready to take up
arms in defense of their country, to
fight for liberty, and right, and good
government.

Columbia special Of April IA, to
Greenville News: Claiming that Mr..
r. /. Manning had drawn the faction
al lines In the race for governor, Sen
ator John l. McLaurin, who is also
candidate for that position, came
out square tonight on the Blease side
Of the issue, saying that Mr.. Manning
had espoused the anti-Blease side.
Senator McLaurin stated that he in
tended lining all Of the candidates up.
Asked what he thought about the is
sues Of the campaign, Senator Nc
Laurin said: well, stated them in
an address few days ago. Mr.. Man.
ming has drawn the factional lines In
his platform and he and / are the
only ones who have taken a clean cut
position as to how we stand on that
issue. / accept the challenge and you
mark my word, this race will be be-
tween Manning and myself. Political
non de scripts running with the hare
and barking with the hounds will
never get out Of the briar patch. The
most important issue Is the ware
house bill but it is non-political and
no one should try to make political
capital out Of that. Compulsory edu-
cation Is a hobby, primary reform
fake that has fiZzled out and the Fort
IleT Il 10
a man 1 admire personally but politi-
cally he has always been against the
masses for the classes. Bleaseism
does not mean Governor Blease and
nothing else, and he can't run that
racket over me. He was against Till
man, so naturally he is against Blease.
Mr.. Manning believes in the rule Of
minority not a majority. This must
be true or he would not have tried to
have upset the result Of the last pri-
mary. We might just as we'll fight 1t
out and see whether the rule Of the
people is to continue or the. .oligarchy
again take charge and disfranchise
enough voters in the primary to hold
them in power indefinitely" OF the
county to county campaign he said:
~ want II continued. 1t Is a good
thing to meet the people face to face.
I will be glad Of the opportunity and
/ have no fears Of the result" The
senator was asked whom he favored
for state chairman. Il have not
heard that discussed much" he said.
but wherever l have, sentiment seems
to favor Colonel Willie Jones. There
is certainly great dissatisfaction and
every one seems to think that the
abortive attempt to upset the last pri-
mary would not have occurred with
Colonel Jones at the head. I know
of no man who has given more and
received less at the hands OF the par
ty than Willie Jones'"

The Jurors summoned to serve dur

The Jurors summoned to serve dur
ing the second week Of the present
term of the court, have been notified
that their services will not be re-
quired.
Judqe De Wore has just handed
down an important decision In case
from the recorders court of Rock
Hill, involving the matter Of drawing
jurors for municipal courts. He holds
that a jury drawn by the chief Of po-
lice in a case in which he made the
arrest, Is disqualified The opinion
does not indicate the proper manner
of preparing a municipal venire.
cansIer of Tirzah was in Yorkville
Wednesday, and in reply to the ques-
ton as to whether he intends to run
for railroad commissioner again, said
that he would do so If he can raise
the money" In reply to the sugges-
ton that he would get all the money
necessary out of the big lot Of logs he
is selling to log buyers, he stated that
he had gotten burnt in the transac-
ton, and that would mean that per-
haps money is not such big item
with him after all.
According to returns in the hands
of the auditor, the total valuation Of
bank property in York county subject
to taxation, is 1855, 1S9. Under the
so per cent assessment value hereto
fore prevailing the banks would pay
taxes on s42759S.5O. Under the 81
per cent value adopted by the county
board yesterday, the assessment will
be reduced to $299,315.15, or $12S,279
less than the so per cent value. There
can be no question Of the fact that
these last named figures are pretty
close to an equality with the returns
of other property; but what the comp
troller general and the state board of
equalization will have to say about
the matter remains for further de-
velopments.
