which the new city charter reduced from an o1d-fashioned, unwieldy board of thirteen. selected by the City Coun- cil. to a modern, workable board of three unsa1aried commissioners ap- pointed by the nayor,--have taken to the new idea with enthusiasm. The board even plans to go to the courts again in order that the funds may be used to aid any poor traveller, whether he stays in St. Louis or moves on.
 It seems the irony of fate that there should be a public trust fund to help people get away from St. Louis when the city boasts a Million Population Club attempting to make St.<Louis grow by any means short of brib- ing the census-taker.
 It is possible that the fund will be used for even wider purposes; for in- stance. assisting in the deportation of
 immigrants who become charges on the community; establishing new means
 of employment; assisting city dweIlers to establish themselves on farms; pro- tecttve work among young girls; the furnishing of interpreters; free legal and medical aid to travellers and the development of good temporary 1odg- l ings.
 As their is no travellers, aid organ
 ization whatever in St. LouisT and
 practically no other work is being done for immigrants on arrival, the
 new Application of this old fund is
 being watched with interest.

Norwich, Conn.,
 It will be a trip worth taking. Let us hope that the city of Norwich, the little Rose of New England, will be able to make this years exemplifica- ton the largest, most interesting and most patriotic in the history of the order in this state. Every man in the order who is qualified should make haste to join the Fourth Degree. It is truly an honor which every good Knight owes to himself.
 The Menace and it's following of bigots, undertook, as all know. to slanderj the order by issuing a bogus oath, in which the most refined Cath olic gentlemen in America are made to soIemnIy promise to murder all Protestants and their relatives, even including unborn babes. This out rageous canard so interested the Freemasons of California that they appointed a committee consisting of the highest Masonic officers. some time ago to investigate the matter
 The officers of the order put the ritual into the hands of this commit tee; and after a careful examination of the ritual and further and most thorough investigation the committee reported that the work of the Fourth Degree was of the very highest and noblest quality, socially, morally and Iatri otically.
 Of course it is not necessary for the Knights of Columbus of the state of Connecticut to be furnished with a certificate of good character from any committee of any set, of men from any fraternity or from the peo- ple in general. They know what the people are who belong to the order, and they know they can trust them. They have seen the fruits of these men and by their fruits they know l them.
 But. the larger the order is the greater good it 5 can accomplish therefore increase it. The larger the Fourth Degree is the more Influence l it will be able to exert-therefore go | to Norwich on the 5oth day of May next.

Editor Appelt Dead.

Louis Appelt of Manning, own

senator from Clarendon county,
died last Wednesday afternoon
at the Columbia Baptist hospital.
Mr.. Appelt, on his return from
Spartanburg last week, where
he attended with his daughters
the South Atlantic States Music
festival, stopped in Columbia for
surgical examination. This
revealed so serious a condition,
resulting from cancer, as to in
dicate an immediate operation,
which was performed Monday,
with only the very slightest hope
of success. Mr.. Applet was

Dedication of Courthouse.

Plans for the dedication of the
new courthouse are under more
or less general consideration in
Yorkville, and the understanding
is that the event will take place
during the first week of July.
1t was suggested in the town
council some time ago that that
body take the initiative in the
matter; but the idea was not
unanimous, and although no
definite action was taken, there
was a suggestion that it would
probably be better to leave the
matter of arrangements with
the secretary of the Board of
Trade. " 1t is quite probable
that there will be a composite
programme that will include a
Fourth of July celebration, a
homecoming and a courthouse
dedication. The York county
bar will probably arrange the
programme for the dedicatory
exercises, and while The En-
quirer has not been presented
with any specific facts in regard
to the matter, it understands
that present plans contemplate
a gathering of the bench and
bar Of the State on the occasion.
AS yet, however, there appears
to be no definite representative
administrative authority in
charge of any part of the pro-
posed celebration. Yorkville En-

Will Veto York County Act.

Announcement has been made
from the Office of the governor
in Columbia, says the York News,
to the effect that the chief execu-
tive will veto the act of the last
General Assembly to prohibit the
operation of motor truck cars
owned by non-residents, in York,
Clarendon and Aiken counties,
without a license of $1O0 per
year for each car. Road officials
of York county say that these
vehicles do incalculable harm to
the roads of the county because
they get stuck in the mud and
by their efforts to free the
wheels of the machines they dig
deep holes in the road, thereby
putting the roads in bad shape,
as result of which the county
has to spend considerable money.

Farmers Reduce Cotton Acreage.

The farmers of ten cotton
growing States will reduce their
acreage but 14.5 per cent, ac-
cording to an estimate issued by
Cooper & Griffin, cotton mer-
chants of Greenville. The re-
duction in the quantity of fer
tilizer to be used this season is
estimated be 35.6 per cent. In
South Carolina the acreage re-
duction is given at Is per cent.
and the fertilizer reduction 81
per cent.
The letter sent out by Cooper
&D Griffin announcing the result
of their Investigations reveals
figures which are different from
the earlier estimates, but which
are probably nearer correct than
the estimates which denote a
greater reduction in acreage.
