{ tftined an individual loss, and the death of . the heroxvaa a caf &e for common sorrow. The exercises #ere opened by Rev. R. G. Patrick, chaplain of the Rifle company, who gave out the fafaniar hymn, "Nearer My (Sod to Thee," which waii sung by the entire I congregation. ; After prayer by Rev. Mr. Patrick, the fhneral sermon was preached by Rev. J. C. Galloway from Jeremiah xlviii, 17: "All ye that are about h^n bemoan him; and all ye thfct know his mime, say, How is the strong staff broken, ami the beautiful rod." From this text Mr. Galloway drew the splendid discourse, of which the following is a complete synopsis:. We ate here to-day to bury, not to praise our Mend. Though, if nml be, there la ample room for praise, and even fulsome piaise. It Is but simple truth to my that hi* death baa carried sorrow not only to hie friends, to our community, but our entire land. No one who has read thanewapapem of the past week will Question thin. '? A* to his religious 'character, I will not attempt to speak to-day, fr>r the simple reason that I know nothing an to his sentiments on this question. I do not know of what church he was a member, or even If be was a member at all. But In passing lightly over this phase of the queattoa I must not be understood as Ignoring this matter. F .1 believe as God's word, that our religious belief ? everything, both for time and eternltyT I simply pass It because I do not know. ? - ? ??* ?> !???> of which I must mil mere m one nam^ ? ? _ peak?bin ear)}' life ?s an example to our young men. The death of oar bMo has, under the circumstances, caused much dlscunlbn among our people, and although they had fuU kuowledge of his early life, out < of all the discussion there has not been one syllable other than that of praise. Years ago I heard his Instructor, Rev. Dr. Lathan, bear witness, not merely to the unusual brilliancy of bis intellect, but to his great moral worth and integrity. I suppose bis conduct was such that it never brought to his father and mother a single hour of disquietude. It was a life founded on such principle and such conduct, that alone made his after life possible. ?. Young men, i would commend his noble example to you In this respect And I would that my voioe could reach every too tig man in our land. Of course, a life like this Is right from a moral standpoint, and this is the highest praise that can be given It As father and brothers and sisters stand around bis bier, there Is nothing which brings them the satisfaction which arises from this thought. But, young men, I would urge you to emulate his virtues. I mean (ton a standpoint of business success. If George D. Wallace had spent his early years touting around saloons, and over gaming tables, was tea his mights Jkw ball room; if be had been profane, licentious, idle, Immoral and disobedient his name would never been heard of beyond the limits of our town. > He bad companions, as every young man has, who were of a different stamp. Has the world ever heard anything oftherat 'Will It ever hear? Young man if you would do anything like this man you must lay the foundation* of character aright in Integrity, sobriety and morality. If you fail so to do, then no after years of labor, no tears of penitence, can ever correct the failure. . \ "How Is the strong staff broken, and the beautiful rod."

"Heart and flesh faint and fait us, but God never. He Is the Rock of ages. Everything dies, decays, passes away, but God is from everlasting. Dear Mends, may you now be able to realise, "The Eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms." After the sermon, the remainder of the ceremonies were conducted under the direction Ot lien. Pj. in. X4W, ?uu uuu ucnu in|u?)?u to act as nwJji of the day. The military fating formed in line, presented arms as the; bier was conveyed to the hearse, and the* taking its position at the head of the column, took up the mournful march to the cfemetery, arms reversed, to the slow step of a muffled drum. Arrived at the gate, the military again opened ranks, and presented arms as the procession passed through. After the casket was lowered into the grave, a benediction was pronounced by Rev. Mr. Galloway, the sod was filled in by the military and a last salute of three volleys were fired over the remains. Loving hands decked the grave with flowers, and the last sad rites had been performed to a hero whose memory our people shall ever hold in the highest esteem. The following named gentlemen, some of them boyhood companions and schoolmates of the deceased, acted as pall bearers: W. B. McCaw, J. E. Lowry, J no. A. Latta, H. C. Strauss. John M. Hope, S. L. Latimer, J. J. HuntcrTJ. M. Starr, W. M. Allison, W. H. Herndon, 8. M. McNeel, W. T. Barron. COL. R. M. WALLACE. After the ftineral yesterday, Col. R. M. Wallace was seen by a representative of The Enquires, and asked for such information as he could give about the whole sad histo~ ry of his brother's death. During the conversation that followed, Col. Wallace told the story as follows: "Captain Wallace was not killed in a tent by a squaw, as has been reported, but by an Indian warrior. The Indians had all been formed in a line, and Captain Wallace, with a number of his company, had been detailed to commence at one end and disarm them, while {mother company performed the same work at the other end. After two or three Indians had been disarmed, Big Foot, the chief, suddenly stooped down, and throwing a handful of sand in the air, cried to his followers : 'Doa't give up your guns; fight? kill the solders. Their bullets cannot hurt you while y<ji have your ghost shirts on!' At this the Indians immediately commenced firing, and fighting with their clubs and . knives. Captain Wallace was among the first killed. tHe was* struck three blows on the head wit^ a war club?a heavy bludgeon with sharp saw-like teeth. One of these teeth, or sjfkea, penetrated his forehead, close to the tcalp, and either of the other two blows would have been sufficient to have killed him. > * . "The fight Occurred in South Dakota, and as a coffin could net be had at the time, Captain Wallace's bpdy was wrapped in a United States flag and sent to Rushville, Nebraska. There the authorities took charge of it, and encasing it fo the neat casket in which it still remains/shipped it to me at Fort Riley, Kansas. Although Fort Riley is one of the most important military stations in the West, when the body reached that point there were only two companies of soldiers at the post, tho rest having all been sent to the scene of thd! troubles. These troops, however, made gll the demonstration that was possible under the circumstances, meeting the 4 body at the tation and according to it all the t honor due t > a dead officer. Troops could i not be spare 1 to accompany the remains to this place, o there would have been a mili-1 tary escort i D the way from Nebraska. "From F<rt Riley I hurried through to Yorkville at fast as possible, bringing the j casket in a Uox.coverai with the same flag that was wrapped about his body on the bat- J tlefield at founded Knee. And it is cer- [ tainly very Ratifying to see the high respect in which thnt flag is held in all the States through which I passed?Kansas, Missouri,' Tennessee, Georgia and South Carolina. At i every point where it was necessary to make j a transfer, all I had to do was to say what I wanted, and dozens of willing hands were ready to pejform the service. "I was vtry much gratified at being met by the miliary of Yorkville at the depot, and especially so since they performed this kindness of their own volition. Mrs. Wallace would not consent to have the remains brought heie unless I promised that they should have a military burial. Knowing that this requirement could be readily complied with, of course I had no hesitation in making the promise, and I am sure she cannot help being satisfied with the manner ? in which the remains of her husband have today been honored. "I at first thought I would keep the troop flag that accompanied the body myself, but I Kuvik ditif'A litmma onnvinml that it lllttV IhJ more worthily bestowed upon the Jenkins Rifles, und General Law has consented to make a formal presentation of the same at another time; It shall be given, however, with the understanding that should the company ever disband or the flag pass out of its possession, it shall again become my property." "Col. Wallace, what is your opinion ofthe situation outjn Dakota, and what is the probability of an early settlement of the trouble?" "Well, fttaj the best information I could get, the figkting strength of the hostiles is about five, jthousaud and when these Indians once get the taste of blood, they have to Ik* eompletly crashed before they can In* brought under control. The troops now have all they can do to cope with the hostiles, and it'i? probable that a great many more lives wfll ]*> lost In-fore the trouble is settled." J; ? On December 1, Henry Johnson, alias Henry WilMey, brutally outraged Mrs, Thomas Walters, wife of a white farmer living four milesfrom Central, in Pickens noun* ty, As soon as she could do so, Mi's, Johnson gave the alarm, and the entire neighborhood immediately started in search <>f the fiend. After a few hours he was captured ami hroughtbefore Mrs. Walters to be identified. He was then taken into the woods, and fifty or ^ hundred shots were fired into his body. few hours later, being still alive, he wa| placed on a log heap and burned to death. I INDIAN TROUBLES IN THE NORTHWEST. I Tho Sioux Indians, for years the most I troublesome factor on the northwestern frontier, are at their old tricks again. They have been on the war path for about two months, terrorizing the settlers with fire and murder, and giving the United States troops all they can do to keep them within bounds. The cause of the present out break is not definitely known, but it is thought to have been instigated by the notorious Sitting Bull, of Custer massacre fame. The trouble had its beginning some time during last October, and grew out of a religious craze over the early coming of a new Messiah who was to make way with all the whites and restore to the Indians their happy hunting grounds, their buffalo, their bows and arrows and everything else they had before the white man came. This story was gotten up in such away as to exactly suit Indian credulity, and coupled with a long string of savage rites to be performed by the followers of the coming Messiah, rapidly spread among the various trilies, until nearly all the Indians of the northwest had worked themselves into a frenzy of excitement. They began committing depredations on the settlers, and it became necessary for the government to endeavor to suppress the outbreak. Gen. Miles, in command of the frontier troops, was satisfied that Sitting Bull was at the bottom of the trouble, and decided that his arrest would be a certain solution to the whole matter. Accordingly, 011 the 14th of I December, a company of Indian police was sent to the old chiefs camp in the Bad Lands, I near Fort Yates, North Dakota, to bring him | in. The scheme was attended with considerable danger, and the police were followed by a detachment of soldiers who were to remain close enough in the rear to render such assistance as might be necessary. The police approached the old chiefs house about daylight on the morning of the 14th, and found him in bed. Presenting their rities aud threatening to kill him on the least attempt at an alarm, they started him away at a ruu. In spite of the threat, Sitting Bull called to his followers to come to the rescue, and in a very short space of time forty or fifty warriors were firing at the police. A desperate hand to hand fight ensued, and during its progress Bull Head, one of the police, killed Sitting Bull, after having been himself mortally wounded. About this time the soldiers came up and the overpowered hostiles soon retreated, having lost eight of their number and killed five of the police, including Bull Head. After the death of Sitting Bull, though there were still several hostile bands-at large, it was thought that the trouble was over. But, instead, it took a more serious aspect. The Indians circulated reports to the effect that the Great Spirit had sent Sitting Bull's spirit back to his people to aid them in exterminating the whites. Several of the chiefs told their followers that they had seen and talked with this spirit, and that it urged revenge. The effect of this story was to stir up the trouble anew, and largely reinforce the hostiles from the ranks of the "friendlies." In view of this state of affairs, the government has sent nearly all of its available troops to the scene of the trouble, and during the past ten days the soldiers have been almost constantly in the saddle. On Monday of last week, the Seventh cavalry fell in with a band of 125 Indians, near Wounded Knee creek, South Dakota, under Chief Big Foot. The Indians were in camp when the soldiers came up, and quietly allowed themselves to be surrounded. Big Foot then advanced with a flag of truce as if he desired to surrender, and when the sol diers attempted to disarm the prisoners, the Indians suddenly commenced a murderous fire at short range. A fierce hand to hand struggle ensued and lasrcd an hour and a half, until the soldiers could train their Hotchkiss and Gatling guns upon the Indians without danger to themselves. As soon as the artillery could be used, however, the Indians took flight, but only a few escaped. It is estimated that nearly a hundred were killed and a large number wounded. The cavalry, about five hundred strong, lost fifty men killed and wounded. Among the killed was Cant. George D. Wallace, and wounded, Lieutenant Ernest G. Garlington, both South Carolinians, and both belonging to the same company. All during the past week, settlers have been flocking into the military posts in large numbers, and nearly all the posts are crowded. It is thought, however, that the trouble is now practically over and that peace will be restored without the loss of many more lives. But to effect this result it has already cost the lives of more than two hundred and fifty Indians and about sixty soldiers. MSRE-M1;NTI0N.

Fifth Avenue theatre, New York, was burned on the night of the 2nd instant. The loss is estimated at over five hundred thousand dollars. What the Receiver Thinks ok the Three C's.?In a recent interview, Receiver Lord is reported as making the following statement in regard to the Three C's railroad : "It is going to be finished and it is going to be a success. It will reulize a dream of sixty or seventy years of our people. "The road is divided into three divisions for purposes of construction. The southern di vision begins ut Camden, 14."i miles rrom Charleston, the termnus of the South Carolina railway, and exteuds to Marion, X. C., on the Western North Carolina railroad, a distance of 175 miles. Altogether nearly $(>,000,000 have been put in the road. Just observe this dark strip on the map. It is reported to represent for 300 miles the richest coal and iron region in the United States, and the greatest hardwood timber itelt in North America. The main object is to afford trans- j portation for these rich products. "Besides, this road accomplishes the pur- j i pose for which $2,0!)0,000 have been expend1 ed in the ineffectual effort to tunnel the Blue j Ridge mountains. "My opinion is that the people of Charles-; ton, instead of making light of the road, should put some money in it and help it out j of the rut. Pennsylvania and Massachusetts i capitalists have shown their confidence in j j it by putting several million dollars into it. i He had heard it confidently prophesied by a j I competent authority that the road would I prove one of the richest plants in America.! Clemson College.?H. A. Strode, president of the Clemson college, has written the j following letter to the News and Courier, j ! dated ut Pendleton : With the passage of the hills by the legislature j which will render possible the opening of Clemson college on October 1 next, every arrangement! will he made here to receive students on that day. \ It is very desirable to know, as far in advance as ; possible^ the number we should prepare for.

Clover, January 5.?Some weeks ago, at the suggestion of a friend of The Enquirer, a paper was drawn up at this place extending to the proprietor of that paper our sympathy in nis great loss by tire, on November 23rd, 1800; and the statement is further made in that paper, that we the patrons of The Enquirer, would respectfully release the proprietor from anything he might consider an obligation to flirnisn to us the numbers of The Enquirer during its suspension from publication. This paper nas been signed by every subscriber to whom it was presented, and all heartily endorsed the sentiments therein set forth. Now we talieve that every subscriber in the land would be willing to subscribe to these sentiments, and I would respectfully suggest that such a paper be drawn up and signed at every office where The Enquirer goes, and immediately forwarded to the office of The Enquirer. Where it is not practicable to get up a uniform action in this matter, let it be done without delay by individuals communi<?tlnn W loltflr nr in nflnmn nt The En'OI'IRKR office. No doubt all the subscritiers received a circular from Thk Enquirer dated November 2ith, (next day after the Are) in which it Is stated that these namltere will all be ftirnished as soon as the paper resumes publication. Of course he intends to do that. But when we consider the fact that the loss of u few numbers of The Enquirer to us, is nothing compared with the great loss sustained by The Enquirer, we think it is nothing but reasonable that we should ask him to change his intention in the matter. Again, a numDer of subscribers have their term ofisubscriptions so arranged as to begin on the first of January, of each year, and as it is likely The Enquirer will resume its publication on or about the first of January, will fit in exactly right to do away with these back numbers since the 23rd of lust November. We had an election, Dec-ember 28th, to elect a town counci, which resulted as follows: For Intendant, W. B.Smith; for Wardens: M. L. Ford. John J. Smith, J. Jackson Smith and 8. M. Falres. Of this number, M. L. Ford, declined to serve, and another election was ordered to fill the vacancy. The election iB to be held on Thursday, 8th instant. Mr. J. B. Jackson, an old and highly respected citizen, died at his residence, one mile north of here, on December 18th, 1890, aged 78 years 7 months and 8 days. J. D. o. [The above letter was written by an enthusiastic, but highly esteemed friend of The Enquirer. He insists upon its publication. While of course we appreciate the action of the people of Clover in this matter, we could not think of asking any one to relinquish the claim to what is justly due them, and hope that none of our subscribers will consider that they are in any manner under obligation to waive their claim to delayed numbers of The Enquirer.?[Editor. LETTER FROM UNION COUNTY. Correspondence of The Yorkville Enquirer. Etta Jane, January 5.?Many homes throughout our land and country will be made happy this week by the renewed visits of their olu literary friend, The Yorkville Enquirer. Rising above the ashes of a fearful holocaust through the indomitable pluck and energy of its managers, it will again presents its bright newsy Gages, sparkling as usual, with gems of choice terature. As it enters upon its new lease of life and goes out upon its mission of educating its patrons up to the needs of the day and the duties of the hour, it carries with it our best wishes for its success and prosperity, as well as the assurance that no effort on our part will be left undone to help it fill its laudable purpose. Well, the holiday season is over, and with it "1890" has been consigned to the eternity of the past. With a hope that a now era ot success has dawned upon our country, our people are going forward with renewed zeal in the discharge of their respective duties. Our new school commissioner, James L. Walker Esq., is using his best efforts to give us the best results obtainable under the school law. He is a practical teacher, and by him the duties of the office will lie properly discharged. A better grade of teachers, both white and colored, will be employed than it has been possible to do heretofore ny the old boards. If they don't come up to every requirement, they will not be employed. In this matter the colored schools will bo especially benefitted, as he expects to draw from the colored high schools in the State the best material he can get for teachers rather than submit the work to the average country teacher, who in many instances is but little better than accomplished and educated ignoramuses. Our white school can be greatly benefitted along this line too. Our churches have generally secured pastoral sen ices for this year. The Salem (Presbyterian) church is making an effort to get Rev. <1. S. Robinson. His salary hasn't vet been subscribed ; but it is hoped that it will be done by the 3rd Sabbath of this month, at which time the matter will l>e definitely settled. Mr. Robinson will preach there on that day?18th instant. Mr. Newton Osment, of Craighead county, Arkansas, is here on a visit. Miss Rebecca Kstes, daughter of G. W.

To thousands ol' homes it brought Joys and pleasures, while to many it was only a sad reminders of disappointments, of blasted hopes, of bereavements, of deep sorrow. Christmas, however, is, to a great extent, what we make it. If we labored earnestly and unselfishly for the happiness of others, we will be sure to receive a blessing commensurate with our deeds of kindness and charity. The farmers of this section have gathered full crops of Ikith com and cotton for which we ull feel very grateful. The following figures will furnish a basis for a comparison of the cotton crop in this section this year with that of last year. The proprietors of a cotton gin near this place, ginned last year (1889) 28H bales. This year (1890) they have ginned 597 bales up to date, and huve thirty-five or forty bales yet to gin. I haven't had the opportunity to interview others engaged in ginning, but the presumption ia that increase in their work has been in corresponding proportion to the figures given above. Mr. J. B. (Jarduer, near this place, had the misfortune to lose a good horse a short time ago. Miss Mallie Bentield spent Christmas week at Leslie, visiting the Misses Wherry and other relatives and friends.

Correspondence of The Yorkvllle Enquirer. Gould, January 5.?We are having fine weather now, and the general health of the people is good. Christmas passed off rather quietly, the general order of the day being rabbit hunting. On Monday after Christmas, a party of about twenty or twenty-fiye, mounted on horseback, witn dogs, caught forty of the cotton tails, and on the tli? following day caught sixty. The cotton crojf of the past year is over an average, of which fully two-thirds is in the bunds of the farmers. Tet, our farmers can boast as, usual, of having corn to supply them for the present year, and also of having their own home-rained pork. A good deal of oats have been sown and a good many more will be nown soon, but the acreage in wheat will be quite small. Rev. Mr. Robinson moved to Bullock's Creek last week. He will be the pastor of that church this year, the former pastor, Rev. R. P. Smith having accepted u call to Blackstock, Chester county, where he moved a short time ago. Mr. Smith was pastor of Bullock's Creek church two years and about six months, and no pastor has ever occupied the pulpit at that place for the same length of time and discharged all the obligations to his congregation devolving upon him, so satisfactorily as has he. A minister of undoubted piety and conspicuous ability, his congregation grew in numl>ers and efficiency during his ministrations, and in addition to all this he had the satisfaction of seeing three or four young men proclaim themselves ready and willing to preach the gospol. They are now preparing themselves with that intention. Mr. Smith and his noble wife have endeared themselves not only to his own immediate congregation, but to the entire community, which extends to them its best wishes in their new field of usefulness. h. SHARON NOTES. Correspondence ef The Yorkvllle Enquirer. Sharon, January 5.?The building boom has struck our little town again. Several nice dwellings are nesting completion and others are to follow in the near ftiture. Owing to the low price of cotton, trade has been dull since the holidays, which passed off1 very quietly at this place. Old subscibers, together with new ones, are anxiously awaiting the re-appearance of the "Old Reliable" Yorkville Enquirer. We wish it the success in the future that It has enjoyed In the past. The display of firo workp in Yorkvllle on the evening or the i^ith was witnessed ai ruts plaotfr Our town was thrown into excitement last Saturday morning by the music of a splendid Eack of fox-hounds, belonging to and followed y Messrs Norman and D. M. Hall. They caught the fox about a mile and n half from the town limits. If the boys will, come down again soon we will show them where they can find several foxes. Tommie and Willie Montgomery caught one recently, after an all day chase, with only one hound. A public meeting will be held here next Saturday for the purpose of electing a new town council. Mrs. Dr. Ross is getting on nicely, and it is hoped that she will soon be sound and well ugain. A hippy and prosperous new year to Thf. Enquirer and its many readers. j. LETTER FROM ROCK HILL.

Already there are u number of tickets in the field. The new graded school seems to be the bone of contention. Judging from the number of mules that are being received by our stablemen, they must expect a large crop to be planted this spring. A number of the friends of Rev. R. A. Child, former pastorofthe M.
