For the Hail Sufferers,

We are told on good authority that
everything that happens happens for
the best, and although there are many
cases that we cannot exactly under
stand in this connection, most Of us
feel that it is not altogether safe to try
to disprove the assertion.
Among the people who suffered most
severely as the result Of the fearful
hailstorm that wrought 50 much de-
struction throughout the eastern part Of
the county recently, there are no doubt
many who cannot understand what it
was all for, and we do not blame them
because we are unable to explain it
either
But though we cannot see the reason
for this calamity, we are easily able to
appreciate some of its results. and not
the least insignificant of these results
is the opportunity it has given the fell
low citizens Of the people living in the
hail swept area to show their practical
sympathy in contributions that will
serve to tighten their misfortune.
The splendid conduct of the people
of Rock Hill and others who have so
quickly come to the relief of their dis
tressed fellows is beginning to loom up
almost if not quite as prominently as
the extent and severity of the fearful
disaster itself, and we are not afraid
to say that right now the thoughts of
the people of the devastated district
are more taken up with the practical
sympathy that has been shown them,
than with their personal losses.
AS large as the contributions that
have been made look, however, they
are really small as compared with what
the people of the county as whole
could do if they would. Altogether it
should be possible to raise thousands
of dollars for the purpose of helping
the storm sufferers, and there is good
authority for the statement that if the
people of York county were to raise
and donate enough money to entirely
repair the whole damage, the people
who contributed the necessary money
would really benefit themselves more
than the people on whose account they
contribute their gifts. Does not the
Master say that it is more blessed to
give than to receive?
And why should not the people of
the county and others who desire
to participate, take the fullest ad-
vantage of this opportunity? Our
people have a chance here to do
themselves proud. Suppose somebody
in each and every congregation,
for instance. would take it upon
himself or herself to go around for the
subscriptions of neighbors and friends.
and help give everybody a chance to
contribute Whether these should be
raised enough to relieve the sufferers
of their burdn or not, if the people gen.
orally would do the best they could in
the matter the general result to both
those who give and receive would be
worth more than the biggest crop and
the most prosperous year the county
has ever known.

If there was any particular justifica-
ton of the war in Mexico, it was on
the ground of abominably unfair laws
that kept the lower classes in a state
of virtual slavery. That stirred the
people-the eternal right of the cause.
OF course, there are thousands and
hundreds of thousands Of degraded
poems and others who were moved by
no other consideration than the oppor-
tunity for pillage and murder, and con-
ditions are such that it would be diff
cult to establish the contention that
any principles of right underlaid any
of the trouble. But the unjust and in
equitable conditions constitute such a
stencil that we are unable to believe
anything else. Will there be improve
ment? Not soon, we are afraid. Many
of the people who stirred up the trou-
BILE on the ground of injustice Of the
masses" to the Glasses" will be too
glad to take their places among the
Glasses" and continue the old system
until others arise to start new revolu-
ton. About the most hopeful thing
that can be said is that each revolu-
ton will raise the intelligence Of the
people that much higher, and eventu-
ally principles Of right will begin to
enforce themselves, as they are begin
ming to do in the United States.

Although we have not said so. we
have had the impression all along that
the Greenville Piedmont was owned by
Il stock company and Mr.. q. II. Koes-
ter was only the manager. We have
not made any such statement at any
time: but as we have said, had that
impression. 1t develops, however,
that such is not the case. A Green
willie man who differs with the Pied
mont as to certain matters, made
such Il charge in communication to
the paper. and in an editorial reply
the statement is made that Mr. KOes-
ter is the sole owner. Of course we
could have had information as to this
all along by watching the published
reports required by the government;
but had not done so. However, we
are glad to have our false impression
corrected. We have seen nothing in
the Piedmont To Indicate corporation
ownership or control: but having for
years regarded Mr.. Rooster as one of
the best all round editors and newSpa-
per men of his generation, we have
had Il feeling of regret that he might

thought best. Now that We have been

WITHIN THE TOWN

- The congressional campaigners,
Messrs. Finley and Stevenson speak in
Yorkville next Thursday.
u The Yorkville baseball team went
to Greenwood, S. c., yesterday morn
ing for a series Of three games. The
first game played yesterday afternoon
resulted in score Of to 0 in favor Of
Greenwood.
- Miss Minnie Alexander, a mission
ary of the Associate Reformed church,
at Montgomery, India, made quite an
interesting talk in the Associate Re-
formed church last night. She describ-
ed the social, political, economic and
religious conditions Of the people
among whom she is laboring and gave
quite an encouraging story Of progress.
- For the second time in the past
two weeks, the electric lights went out
during heavy storm early last Satur-
day night and business houses had to
close up. The trouble was at the trans
former house at the Neely mill. AL
though there was some lightning, the
electrical display did not last long, and
Yorkville lights always go off in such
cases, while those Of surrounding
towns are hardly ever put out Of COM
mission except in the severest kind Of
storms.
- Something like forty people from
Yorkville and the community sur
rounding, went on an excursion over
the e. &; NV. to Edgemont, n. c., last
Saturday. The train continued to pick
up eXcursionists all the way to Lenoir,
and when it reached Edgemont about
two o'clock, there were more than six
hundred people aboard. About three
hours were spent at the mountain re-
sort. a game of baseball was played
between Yorkville and Granite Falls
n. c., the latter team winning by the
score of 3 to I, the game being called
in the eighth inning in order that the
YOrkville team might catch the return
train. At Maiden, N. c., which place
was reached about nine o'clock an en-
gine break down occurred, and the
homeward journey was held up until
nearly two o'clock. 1t was four o'clock
Sunday morning before the Yorkville
eXcursionists, sleepy and WORKOUT
reached home.
The farmers who sell their cotton
on the Yorkville market have right to
have their cotton weighed at a public
platform by a public weigher, and in
being denied that right they are depriv-
ed of privileges that are enjoyed by all
the other larger cotton markets OF this
state and North Carolina, except prob
ably Rock Hill. Rock Hill is the larg-
est cotton market that we know Of in
In,. ,gth II nrn
has no public weigher. Among the
reasons for having cotton weighed by Il
public weigher are that it puts seller
and buyer on an equality. it gives the
seller better opportunity to learn the
local market, who is selling, when and
the price being paid 1t protects him to
a certain extent from being deceived by
rumors, and then over and above it all,
il is the business-like way to do busi-
ness. The idea that the Oldtime meth
DDS should still be prevailing on this
market is simply ridiculous, and it is
time to make change that will accord
with modern conditions.

mont in dealing with various matters,
especially matters political, is no long
er involved in mystery

Mr. w. p. Beard has resumed the
publication at Abbeville of the Scimi-
tar. the political journal that had it's
home in Greenwood two years ago. The
Scimitar is a four column folio that
makes no pretension to other than po-
litical purposes. The editor declares
that he is n supporter of Governor
Blease: but makes il clear that he is
very much opposed to Hon. John g..
Richards. who he describes as a coat
tail swinger and camp follower who is
without political principle, and who is
swinging on the coat tails of the lead
ers of all the different elements. In it's
last issue, the Scimitar describes Rich
ards as wolf in sleeps clothing
and it appears to be rather more
friendly to Mr.. Irby than to any other
candidate who is lined up on the Re-
form side, claiming that Mr.. Irby is
the real stuff and not a recent con-
vert. Mr.. Beard is most prolific
writer and is generally plausible. He
seems to look on politics mainly as a
most fascinating game which he dearly
loves, and he shows but little interest
in anything else. If he could get cir
culation for his Scimitar, some Of the
things he writes would make the pub
lie take notice.

The term of general sessions last
week was notable for the number of
peculiarly ugly cases tried-the case
against DR.. j. f. w. Halle, the Turney
case and the case against Walter l..
Jackson. All of these cases were hard
fought and the battles over the admis-
Sibility of testimony were long drawn
and hard. They attracted much at
tentiOn, especially because of the bril-
liant fighting of the solicitor, who is
generally regarded as the best author
ity, especially on the admissibility of
evidence in the criminal side of the
court, in South Carolina. He has been
to the supreme court many times on
questions of evidence in criminal cases
and in all Of his eighteen or twenty
years of experience has not been re-
versed a single time. He was turned
down several times last week: but un-
der no circumstance that seems to
warrant an appeal, for even though he
be upheld, the particular case in
which the points arose could not be
affected

We are glad to note that the ap-
proach of the boil weevil is begin
ming to be taken seriously in South
Carolina and that in certain quar-
terS plans are already being made to
combat conditions after this crop
pest arrives upon the scene. The pro-
duction of other crops seems to be
about the only practical course yet
discovered. and farmers should al
ready be devoting a larger and larger
production of their acreage to corn,
potatoes melons, and grain. In states
already invaded by the boil weevil.
the production of cotton to the acre
has been terribly reduced, and unless
the price should take a wonderful
jump the reduction of the crop in
South Carolina, one-fourth or one
third would be accompanied by great
hardship, unless a much bigger crop
of other kinds was being made
Chester Reporter.
That is good, sensible talk, and we
believe large per cent of the people
are beginning to see it just as the Re-
porter so clearly points out.

New Zion club roll draws from Hicl

New Zion club roll draws from Hick-
ory Grove, Bethany, Piedmont. Fflbert
and Yorkville, and ought to have a
much larger enrolment than was for
merly accredited to Piedmont, the club
of which it takes the place. F1lbert,
an entirely new club, will be made up
of voters from Yorkville, Bethany and
Glover.
York county white men who fail to
put their names on the club roll within
a week from this day, will be de-
barred from voting in the primary.
They will be unable to arbitrate be-
tween the real patriots who desire to
serve the people, and those who merely
want the office because Of its emolu-
ments, honor and power. So let every
body enroll and enroll now.
From such information as The En-
uuirer is able to gather, there is dis
position on the part Of both factions in
this county to have fair and square
fight for the general assembly on Con-
servative and Reformer lines. The lines
were squarely drawn in the county
convention, but not until after 1t had
been made apparent that the Conserva-
tives had secured control and since
then there has been very little attempt
at concealment Of these lines. The talk
is that it will be best to get out early
four legislative candidates on each side.
OF course, the Reform faction may try
to make the Conservative faction get
out more than four and the Conserva-
tive faction NAV do the same thing for
the Reform faction. This is on the
theory that the more candidates there
are standing for given faction the
more that factions vote will be split up
and the less it's chance Of winning.
The factions have no absolutely effec-
tive way Of guarding against such pro-
ceedings; but still each side is well
enough organized to come pretty nearly
being able to manage it's own affairs.
