WOMAN, AGED liz,
ACTIVE TO THE END.
Mrs. Esther Feldmann Ate and Talked
Few Hours, Before She Died.

A century and twelve years beyond
is the life record of Esther Feldman,
the Hebrew woman who died recently
at the Hebrew Home for the Aged and
Incureable. in Baltimore.
In spite of her great age, Mrs. Field
mans death was a surprise to the at
tendants at the home. Wrinkled, as
she was. she seemed to be possessed
of great store of vitality and at times
could be engaged in sprightly conver-
satiOn. She was not bed-ridden and
could walk across the floor of her
room and feed herself without assist
ance from any one.
She ate a hearty dinner on Monday
and her mind was unusually clear SO
much so that she talked about her age
and expressed the nope that she might
not have TO live much longer to be a
care ON those about her Her death
occurred d few hours later.
Mrs. Feldman was born in Russian
Poland during the reign OF Alexander
Her girlhood days saw the defeat of
Rusit at Austerlitz by Napoleon, the
meeting of Alexander and Napoleon at
Tilsit, ard Napoleon's disastrous in.
vasion of Russia, which pavei the way
for his downfall.
Before her memory failed Esther
Feldman loved to talk of those days.
and even during the last year of her
life there were moments when the
events OF her girlhood REQUIRED 10 her,
and then she would talk eXcitedly and
garruously of her life in Russia.
She lived in Russia from her birth
in 1902 until 1897, when her husband
died, and her son, Isaac Feldman, of
Baltimore, sent for her to come to this
coutry. One of the strongest char
acteristics OF this old woman was her
pride OF race. She seemed at all times
to be possessed of the old patriarchal
idea, and her first question on meet
ing stranger was "Bist du mein
kind?" If he replied by giving the
name of some member of her family,
he was welcome, if not, she would
have nothing to do with him.
Mrs. Feldman was admitted to the
Home for Incuraples in 1902. Sho is
the mother of two children, the grand
mother of ten and the great-grand-
mother of fifteen.

TIL GAM LAWS

AS is always the case each year, a
number of York county hunters, land
owners and others have inquired of
The Enquirer of late about the game
laws-when the law allows the hunting
Of squirrels, quail, ETC., and with the
idea of answering these inquiries, the
statutes Of South Carolina on the sub
ject have been consulted.
Game birds Of the state are: Swans,
wild geese, brant, wild ducks, marsh
hens, coots, gallinules, surf birds, snipe,
w%oodcock, sandpipers, upland plover,
curlew, wild turkey, prairie chicken,
patridges, ricebirds, ~blackbirds and
doves. All other species Of wild resi-
dent or migratory birds are considered
non-game birds.
1t is unlawful to buy or expose for
sale any doves or cartridges.
In York county it is unlawful to kill
or capture a fox between February l
and September /. The penalty for the
violation of this law is a fine of $25
or 80 days Imprisonment. There are

KILLED BY TRAIN

There was a sickening tragedy at
Glover last Saturday morning as the
result Of the desperate eagerness of a
young negro man to go to the circus
at Gastonia. The victim was Bart
Jackson, aged % years. One or two
coaches Of a C. d NV, excursion
train passed over him and completely
severed his body in twain. The unfor-
tunate man continued to breathe but
a few moments after the accident.
It appears that the excursion train
had been advertised to take people
from stations along the line to and
from the fair and circus at Gastonia.
II turned out that the number Of peo-
pie who wanted to go was much larg-
err than had been anticipated. There
was a big crowd aboard when the train
left Chester, and when it reached York
Vile there was not nearly room enough
left to take care Of the people VINO
had purchased tickets and only a few
of them were able to get aboard. There
was no stop to take on the big
crowd that was waiting at Fflbert,
and the train passed through Clover
with only an almost imperceptible
on account Of the street
crossing.
A representative of The Enquirer
ma ssed through Glover shortly after
the tragedy occurred, and before the
body of the dead negro was removed.
PEOPLE who witnessed the accident n
took in all the circumstances, said that
when it became evident that the train
not going to stop. the big crowd
of negroes in waiting was thrown INTO

a. frenzy Of disappointment and sew
eral made desperate efforts to seize
the guard rails Of the platform as the
coaches rushed by. Bart Jackson,
who was a noted baseball catcher, and
all-round athlete, was more successful
than the others. He managed to seize
a guard rail with a firm grip; but be-
cause Of the speed Of the train, was
instantly swept off his feet and under
the wheels.
When the train passed by, Jackson's
body was lying across the east rail
next TO the station. It had been drag
ged a few feet and cut entirely in two.
DR.. l. ]. Campbell. who happened to
be standing only a few yards away,
went Immediately to the assistance oil
the unfortunate negro, and reached
, him before he ceased to breathe. He
was already unconscious, however
and it was but a few minutes until life
was entirely extinct.
From people who saw, the represen
tative of The Enquirer learned that at
the same time Jackson was trying to
board the train from the east side,
another negro made an attempt from
the west side. He was thrown to the
ground but not under the train. The
train nae passed by before he was
able to get up, and the first thing he
saw was the dead body Of Jackson.
Seized with a panic Of fear he turned
and ran, and when last seen he was
going at full speed out Kings Mountain
street. UP to 400 Saturday no one
no I been able to tell who he was.
Several young men Of Glover who
witnessed the killing Of Jackson, were
so sickened by the horrible sight thai
they were almost overcome.
Coroner Strait went to Glover as
soon as he could get there after the
tragedy and held an inquest at which
practically all Of the facts related
| above were developed.

The National Warehouse Idea.

Realizing as we do the tremendous
advantage that has accrued and is
still accruing to the cotton producers,
as the result of the development of the
warehouse idea, and the perfection Of
the warehouse receipt as a fluid securi-
ty of unquestionable value, we do not
feel warranted in discounting n
reasonable proposition in that direc-
ton.
AS between the state warehouse idea
and the national warehouse idea, how
ever. we are inclined to prefer the state
warehouse plan, at least until we can
see further.
There are things that car be said
in favor of both propositions; but as
we see it there is more to be said in
favor of the state plan than Of the ma
tional plan.
In the first place, it is we'll to re-
member that cotton is a local product
of universal use-that is that it is
produced principally in the south and
is used all over the world.
The labor, trial, anxiety and respon-
sibility of the production of cotton
fall upon the people of only one section
of this Union, while the business or
collecting the raw products and fl
nancing the same, and the manufacture
of the raw products and the distribu-
ton of the manufactured products
extends to all the world.
1t seems to us that the producer Of
cotton should have the first rights in
the matter, and it is clear in the very
a b c's of the case that if the producer
handles his interest intelligently, it is

ON THE RocK HILL ROAD.

That the road between Yorkville
and Rock Hill will be the finest in the
county when it Is completed some
time hence, is a statement which can
not be challenged by anyone who sees
the character Of the work, which Is be-
ing done on that thoroughfare by the
county changing. Thus far the work
has been carried to a point Just beyond
what is known as the Robinson hill,
a distance Of about four miles from
Yorkyille. The old road bed is being
followed pretty closely, although the
new route mapped out by the county
engineer leaves 1t at several places.
The ugly wind around Tirzah church
which is now one Of the most danger
GUS features Of the road, will be elimi-
mated as will also all but two OF the
railroad crossings. The county chain
gang is unusually large at this time
and under the direction Of Superinten-
dent R. l.. Scoggins, Is making rapid
strides toward Rock Hill. 1t will hardly
be necessary, however, to move the
chaingang camp from its present site
at the county home before Christmas.
In company with friends, a repre-
sentative of The Enquirer passed over
the road last week en- route to ROCK
Hill. It was smooth and easy sailing In
the Ford" as far as the chaingang
had worked the new road, and then a
series of bumps began continued all
the way to Rock Hill, practical PROOF
of the fact that the new road Is need
ed.
All along the road signs Of the ac-
xrlkto - 20 ~ aro nnt11d hQ noted TnaV
have much to do. There Is plenty OF
cotton in the fields and a scarcity of
hands to pick it although on every
hand numerous people both white and
black were in the white fields with
their sacks. .,
One Of the prettiest and what looked
to be one Of the best pieces Of corn on
the road Is that Of the Campbell boys
lust below Tirzah. These boys are
members Of the York County Boys
Corn club and their acres bid fair to
make somebody hustle for Corn club
prizes. Mr.. James M. Campbell Of
TirZah, is said to have about the best
corn along the road. Some folks say
he will make $500 bushels.
At one or two places were
blowing and narrowing their land pre-
paratory to sowing oats and infor-
nation acquired later was to the Ell
feet that many Of the people living
along the road are going to SOW just
as much grain as they did last year.
Several folks along the way were
observed piling up %peavines and other
hay. and one was seer sorting out cane
preparatory to making syrup.
Nearly every person living along the
road appeared to be busy at something
and from the looks Of the fields 1t was
evident that they will be busy for some
time to come.
