SOUTHERN RAILWAY NOTES

There has been such an increase of
business on the Marion and Kingyille
division Of the Southern railway that
it has become necessary to put on a
local freight train each way daily
instead of every other day as hereto
fore for several months past. The To-
cal freight business along the line Is
said to be heavier now than at any
time in many years. The cotton move
ment on the southern end of the line
is especially heavy just now.
The company has commenced i'm
proving the Marion and Kingville d.
vision so as to put it in better condi-
ton than ever before. Heavier steel
rails are being laid between Kingville
and Camden and the understanding is
that the heavier rails are to be laid
all tn, way to Marion, N. C. The
track is also to be gravel ballasted all
along the line, and one or more trains
are engaged in hauling the ballast
from the gravel beds.
1t is also rumored that appropria-
tons have been made for three steel
bridges to replace the present wooden
structures at Buffalo creek, above
Blacksburg; the Manning's branch
bridge at Kings Creek, the highest on
the line, and the bridge at Catawba
river. This is rumor. l have not

JUNIORS AT CLOVER

Witnessed by an audience which
filled the spacious hall and the large
front porch Of the Graded school
building, Glover Leaf Council, No. 81,
Junior Order United American Me-
chanics, presented the Glover Graded
school with a flag and Bible Saturday
afternoon. The crowd in attendance
contained many people from the coun-
try surrounding, many Of them mem
bers of other councils Of the Junior
Order in the county. There were a
large number of the children of the
Glover school present as well as a
number Of it's patrons.
Striking in their simplicity were the
exercises Of the occasion. Senator j.
f. Beamguard presided and the ex-
ercises were opened with prayer by
Rev. w. j. Nelson, after which a
choir sang America
Rev. w. j. Nelson, pastor of the
First Baptist church Of Rock Hill,
who is state chaplain of the Junior
Order in South Carolina. in a short
speech presented the Bible to the
school on behalf Of Glover Leaf Coun-
Gil. He briefly reviewed the history
Of the Bible and said that all that our
country is we owe to the principles
taught in the Bible. The Junior Or
der United American Mechanics, he
said, stands for home. for country
and for higher citizenship. We are not
a Christian civilization, he said. Only
60 per cent of the citizenship Of this
country are Christians and a great
majority of them are only nominal
Christians. What we need is more
education and a greater knowledge OF
the Word Of God. Then we will have
a better citizenship. Holding the
handsomely bound Bible in his hand,
Mr.. Nelson advised the teachers

TO SELL OR TO HOLD

Whether York county cotton pro-
ducers intend to market their product
as fast as they can get it ginned or
whether much of the staple raised in
his county will be held for a higher
price, is a question that is not settled
yet, and one upon which there ap-
pears to be much difference Of opin-
ION.
Interviews with farmers from all
sections of the county within the past
few days, developed the fact that there
are many who consider 1t 20 their in
terest to sell not only a part but all of
their cotton at 10 cents II they can
get that price, rather than to take
chances of warehousing it, borrowing
money at 6 per cent, and receive II
or Is cents for it between now and
spring.
Commenting on the situation yes
terday, a we'll known farmer of the
Sharon section said: "Of course /
would rather have II cents than 10
cents for my cotton and l really be-
lieve that it will bring that price by
March l. l can get 10 cents for mine
now. 1t Is green, you know. If l
warehouse it there is no doubt but
what it will lose some in weight.
Warehouse charges, interest on Dor
rowed money. ETC., will come pretty
near eating up the difference between
10 and ~ cents per pound for my
crop. l can see 10 cents now. While,
as | said a while ago. l believe it will
bring ~ cents later on, l can't see the
y cents. See?"
Discussing the situation last Satur-
Ii V Il well known farmer of the Beth
any section, took a different view Of
the matter. "Ten cents" he said, sis
Il pretty good price for cotton. L am
not going to sell at that, however, be-
cause l believe l q get more. 1sold
some of mine last year for I and 8
cents and was glad to get 1t. It will
take ut least IL cents cotton to square
me on the amount 1 lost when l sold
for I and 8 cents last year. OF course
I need money. l have needed it worse
before, however. | have got plenty
of stuff to do me this fall and what l
am going to do is to warehouse my
product, borrow what money I have
just got to have, and wait for a better
price"
There are numerous farmers who

AS a result of a conference be-
tween Governor Manning and Ware
house Commissioner John l.. McLau-
rim, it develops that Governor Man.
ming is not secretly hostile to the state
warehouse system, as was legitimately
deduced from published remarks re-
Gently attributed to him. 1t is quite
clear that if there should be a regula-
ton providing that managers Of state
warehouses should be absolutely dis
interested parties, neither owners of
the warehouses nor or the cotton stored
therein, there could easily develop a
situation very different from that I'M
der which all present progress has
been made. But from the reports OF
the conference referred to it appears
that the governor is most sincerely So
licitous of developing the warehouse
system along lines hat will work to
the interest Of the producer Of the
cotton first, and the public generally,
second. The conference referred to,
we understand, developed that there
a practically complete agreement
between Mr.. McLaurin and Mr.. Man
ming as tC what shall be done and the
outlook is that such recommendations
Us the governor shall see proper to
make TO the general assembly with re-
gard to improving and Strengthening
the warehouse system, will be made
only after complete agreement be-
tween the governor and the warehouse
commissioner.

CURING THE

While Sheriff Brown and a party in
GLIDING Policeman Bindeman, were
out on a raid m night last week,
Policeman Bindeman was seized with
a fit of hiccoughs. After he had en-
dured the discomfort for some little
while, he said to Sheriff Brown:
1--WE just got to get some water
somewhere to get rid Of this hic-
cough"
"All right" said the sheriff, there
is a spring up here on the side Of the
road; but before we get there / want
you to tell me what 1t was you were
telling Church Carroll about me-"
II have not been telling anybody
anything about you," declared Binde-
man.
"Are you right sure about that?"
persisted the sheriff.
why / do not ven know Church
Carroll" said the policeman.
You can tell that to somebody
else," said the sheriff, d~oubtingly.
"Well you heard what I said," re-
torted Bindeman.
Eyes, I heard what you said, but
what about your hiccoughs?" quietly
asked the sheriff.
Sure enough the hiccoughs were
gone, cured by the sheriffs little ruse
in diverting the mind Of the sufferer
to something else.

"A number Of young people Of the

In passing through the cemetery
Sunday afternoon, the editor Of The
Enquirer noted the lone grave Of j.
u. Zurcher, and was impressed with
the idea that the present generation
might be interested to know some
thing of that individual. Mr.. Zurcher
was a native Of Switzerland. He came
to Yorkville with his wife some years
before the Civil war, and established
a bakery and confectionery shop. He
had very little money to begin with,
but was sober, frugal and industrious,
and in a few years he began to acquire
a fair competence. He purchased a
store building on the lot now owned
by Mr.. c. F. Sherer, and occupied by
John Demas. The house was destroy
ed by fire in 1871 or 1872, and was re-
placed by the building which now
stands on the lot. MI. Zurcher was
famous in his day for his candy, his
cakes and a peculiar brew Of non-al-
coholic beer. He was the favorite Of
all the young people Of his day because
of his candles, fruits and cakes, and
he was fond Of the young people not
only because of their nickels and
dimes; but also because he was in
tensely human and very friendly. He
was an enthusiastic admirer Of Gen.
Wade Hampton, and when Hampton
was elected in 1876 he gave the small
boys Of the town quite a quantity Of
fireworks with which to celebrate. He
died shortly afterward. Mrs. Zurcher
returned to Switzerland and died there
a few years later.

TAX ON COTTON BUYERS

81 am not going to pay that license
tax on cotton buyers and cotton seed
buyers-not unless the law makes me,
and I am willing to try them a round
on that" said Mr.. w. r. Carroll in the
presence Of the reporter last Saturday.
"Chief Love-" Mr.. Carroll went on,
came to me to know whether I was
going to pay license for buying cotton
and cotton seed, and I told him no. I
expect the council will try to make me
pay it; but if so, 1t is up to them.
II am sorry now" continued Mr..
Carroll, that 1 paid the license on my
store, automobile, ETC., because I do
not believe any Of it vas lawful; but
I just wont stand for that cotton and
cotton seed license. That provision
in the statutes hat exempts buyers Of
cotton and cotton seed from municipal
occupation "a was put there as a pro-
lection to the farmer. 1t was intend
ed to keep down monopoly and en-
courage competition among the buy
ers. OF course If the council can col
lect the tax, the farmers will have to
pay it, not only for me but for all the
rest of them: but I am going to fight
it to the last ditch before I pay one
cent Of this unjust and unlawful tax

A great many think it necessary in
order to succeed, that they be equipped
with new tools. They are unwilling
TO use such as are provided and eX-
cuse failure by blaming the lnstru-
ments given to them. Of course the
a thing to do is to fail and charge
the blame to others. Another view,
however, which is unfortunately acted
upon by the minority OF men, is 10
use the tools furnished to the greatest
good and overcome disadvantage.
These men do not excuse themselves
or cast blame upon others, they nave
reason to evince their prlde In sue
cess. A most interesting Illustration
of this use of the tools furnished Is
that of Hon. John l.. McLaurin, ware
house commissioner. The act of the
legislature passed last fall establish
ing this office was most incomplete ana
was most chary in giving the commas
sioner the use of the states credit. IL
a state warehouse system Is to be a
recognized thing in South Carolina
and other southern states, as Is hoped
will be the case, the largest share Oh
credit is due Mr.. McLaurin. His en-
thusiasm and his arguments nave I'M
pressed themselves on the people OF
the south. He has urged In
ing language the necessity OF the sys-
tenn and has convinced so many nat
the system in this state has become
established and indications are that 1t
will be adopted in other southern
states. Mr.. McLaurin was not dis
couraged by the failure of the legisla-
lure to make full provision for the
warehouse system. He determined to
use the law as it was to the best ad-
vantage and to make himself the x
ponent of the warehouse system as II
should be. Doubtless 1t is necessary
to amend in many particulars the
present law on the subject. The use
of receipts cannot be too carefully
guarded, for the name of the state
must not under any circumstances be
subjected to scandal. We are sure that
Mr.. McLaurin will welcome the efforts
Of Governor Manning and the mem
bers Of the legislature to improve the
warehouse system. He has done well
with the tools which have been sup
piled to him, but he has shown that
he can do still better If better instru-
ments are furnished. He has zeal and
enthusiasm. 1t may be there are 9TH
ers who are superior to him in details,
but there is an opportunity for both
classes Of men. Mr.. McLaurin Is
need I'd to p%opularize the system and
secure adoption Of its use. Others
there may be who shall watch the ope-
rations of the system in detail and
guard against abuses. Greenville
Piedmont.
That is a very sensible appreciation
Of the work that has been done ~
the state warehouse system. The
warehouse commissioner has indeed
been up against the task of making
brick without straw and wonderful
progress he has made. That Mr.. NC
Laurin will be glad to see the system
improved goes without saying; but II
anybody thinks that he will sit supine-
ly by and let anybody ruin the system
under pretense of making it better
let them try 1t.
