it is very often several days?sometimes a week?alter yon buy goods before tbey are shipped. But right now things are so slack that all the big houses are able to ship all they can sell the same day." "But you do not mean to say that you went up to New York and came back without buying anything." "Oh, 110," replied Mr. Strauss, smiling, "I bought a pretty good stock. There were some things?in fact lots of things? I had to have, war or no war, and I filled out most of my lines. I did not buy as extensively as I would have done otherwise, that is all."

The statement of our Rock Hill correspondent that Admiral Sicard passed through that place Thursday, was evidently a mistake. The Associated Press dispatches say that the admiral is still down in Florida, and will remain there at health resorts for some weeks. It was very likely Lieuteuaut Marix and party who passed through Rock Hill. Pleased With Lentz. The Washington correspondent of The News and Courier says that Congresman Lentz made such an impression at Due West, that be has been iryited to deliver the annual address before the graduating class of Erskine college and has agreed to do so. Also, the correspondent says, arrangements are on foot to get Mr. Lentz to take in Winthrop at Rock Hill, Newberry college at Newberry, and maybe Clem son college. Supplemental Fund. The state board of control sometime back set aside $70,000 to supplement the school fund to $3 per capita, as required by the constitution. It has developed that there are deficiences in 24 counties to the amount of $70,499.55, and it will be necessary to set aside $500 additional. The deficiency in York county, to be made up from the dispensary fund, is $3,520.26. Chester has a deficiency of $2,738.41, Lancaster a definciency of $5,565.02, and Uuion a deficiency of $881. Cherokee county is not published in either list. Let Everybody Register. Citizens of Yorkville should not fail to register to vote in the approaching municipal election. The time of holding the election ha3 not yet been fixed; but the time in which registration certificates may be issued will expire five days previous to the election. A last year's certificate is no good. Every voter must have a new certificate, and to secure the same he must show his state registration certificate and his town tax receipt. Mr. A. F.

Kellar & Logan, of Yorkville, caught fire last Saturday morning at about 3 o'clock. It was being watched by a Negro; but the silly fellow neglected to give the alarm until the flames had made such headway as to put them beyond control. The fire department was on hand soon after the alarm was sounded, and got a good stream of water on the flames. The water, however, seemed to have little effect, and the kiln and contents were entirely destroyed. The loss is estimated at about ?150. There was no insurance. Got There First. The fact that the Maine court of inquiry had found that the explosion was caused by a floating sub-marine mine, was re^ ported in The Enquirer last Friday afw ternoon in less than two hours after it was J known in Washington. When the daily papers came Saturday, shortly after 12, the news was so stale as to be hardly worth reading. Of course there was lots of other news in the daily papers; but when they reached Yorkville, people all over the county, even at the country postoffices, had already read the more important developments of Friday in The Enquirer. Bound For the Koads. Mr. and Mrs. W. it. Williams received a letter from their son Ensign, (leo. W. Williams on Monday. The letter was written from Philadelphia, and in it Ensign Williams said that the Columbia was then taking on ammunition preparatory to sailing for Hampton Roads to join the Hying squadron. M r. Williams does not seem to tinnK tnai mere is going 10 ue any lighting. Just why, lie hardly knows; but then he thinks it would look like a pity for Uncle Sam to tackle an insignificant little enemy like Spain. As to what the destination of the Hampton Roads licet is he does not know. At least he does not say. The naval ollicers are rather too judicious to give out information of this kind, even if they should have it; but from the tone of the letter, there is no reason to believe that Mr. Williams thinks that the squadron will be sent to intercept the Spanish torpedo squadron. Clerk to the Comptroller. News and Courier : T. B. Clyburn, of Lancaster, has been selected as chief clerk in the comptroller general's otliee. Mr. Derbam has looked carefully over the field, and thinks he has the right man for the place. Mr. Clyburn filled the ofiice of auditor for some tune very acceptably, having been appointed to complete the work and term of his father, who died while auditor of Lancaster. The appointment is based on merit entirely. WARLIKE RESOLUTIONS. Senators Propose to Recognize Cnban Independence. RAWLINtiS WANTS TO DECLARE WAR. All Resolutions Referred to Committee on Foreign Relations; Bat the Peace Outlook Is Anything but Promising?At 5 p. in., Rioting Appeared Imminent In Havana, and the Situation Generally Was Decidedly More Squally. Special dispatch to the Yorkville Enquirer. Washington, March 29.? Senator Rawlings today introduced a declaration of war against Soain. This was followed by *. resolutions by Senators Foraker, Frye and Allen, recognizing Cuban independence with force. All the resolutions were referred to the committee on foreign relations. The president has informed Spain that the armistice proposed by that government will not be accepted. Peace conditions today are not nearly so promising as they appeared to be yesterday ; but there is a feeling among prominent officials that though Spain will yield only with stubborn reluctance, she will evacuate Cuba before she will risk war. This, however, is only a matter of opinion. Received at 4.48 P. M. Washington, March 29.? President McKinley has informed the cabinet that he will turn over the entire Cuban-Spanish matter to congress to settle. That probably means trouble. Cables from Havana say rioting ' " - ? -* * ?> t3lo?l PA lis imminent auu ucuciai nianw charges the responsibility on the newspaper men.

New York, March 29.?On account of the warlike aspect, stocks have taken a heavy tumble from yesterday's buoyancy. MAINE COURT OF 1NUU1RY. Fall Synopsis of the Fludiugs of that Body. The main point in the finding of the court of inquiry?that the "Maine" was blown up by a submarine mine? was published in The Enquirer last Friday afternoon within two hours after it was announced in Washington. Since then the Associated Press has secured a complete abstract of the report and publishes the same as follows : 1. The court finds that at the time of the explosion the battleship Maine was lying in five and one-balf to six fathoms of water. 2. The discipline aboard the ship was excellent; everything stowed ac cording 10 orders?uuiuiuiuiiuu, guns, stores, etc. The temperature of the magazines at 8 p. m. was normal except in the after 10-inch magaziue, and that did not explode. 3. The explosion occurred at 9.40 o'clock on the evening of February 15. There were two explosions, with u very short interval between them ; the ship lifted on the first explosion. 4. The court can form uo definite opinion of the condition of the wreck from the divers' evidence. 5. Technical details of wreckage from which the court deduces that a mine was exploded uuder the ship on the port side. G. The explosion was due to no fault of those on hoard. 7. Opinion of the court stating that the explosion of the miue caused the explosion of the two magazines. 8. The court declares that it cannot find evidence to fix responsibility. The report is uuauimous and is signed by all the members of the court. It does not refer to the existeuce or non existence in the harbor of Havana, except in the finding that a miue was exploded under the ship, and the opinion that the explosion of the magazines was caused by the explosion of a mine. The report as a whole is a formal, dispassionate recital of facts, and bears the stamp of that strict official muel/c nutral rivniimliipo Tf *"" ???? I' " is brief, not exceeding 1,800 words, and among the eight parts goes to the greatest length under the second heading, which deals with the discipline and order of the ship. This the court specifies with extreme minuteness, the least detail of the management of everything on hoard being giveu. The normal temperature of the large forward magazines ait 8 o'clock, only an hour and forty minutes before the explosions, disposes of the question of accidental combustions withiu these magazines. While the court holds that these magazines did not explode from internal causes they nevertheless are of the opiniou that the explosion of the mine under the port side of the ship caused the explosion of the two magazines. This will explain the remarkable destruction wrought, the explosion thus being shown to have combined the force of the mine without and the two magazines within. The; explosions which the court fiuds to have occurred with a very short interval between them, is an additional detail, showing that two forces operated in causing the destruction. The findiug that the ship lifted on the first explosion indicates an external source and one of tremendous power to be able to lift a battleship of thousands of ton. The character of the wreckage, technically described in the fifth part of the report, from which the court deduces that a mine was exploded under the ship on the port side, sustains the view taken by some experts shortly after the disaster that the force of the explosion was exerted from port to starboard. The feature of the report of deepest interest to the navy, is the complete exhonoration of Captain Sigsbce and all on board, contained in the second findings, setting forth the perfect or der and discipline prevailing on ine ship, and that directly stated in the sixth finding, which declares the disaster to be due to no fault of those on board. The inability of the court to find evidence to fix the responsibility, as stated in the eighth part, makes the report so guarded in expression of blame that neither Spain nor the Spanish are mentioned throughout. COUKSE OF DIPLOMACY. What Has Been Golug on Between Washing and Madrid. London, Murch 28.?The Madrid correspondent of The Standard says: "I am able to state that the following is the real course of the negotiations: During the week, on Wednesday, United States Minister Woodford had an official interview with the ministers for foreign affairs and the colonies, Seuore Gullon and Moret, at the private residence of the former. It lasted two hours. General Woodford left with them an official note, explaining fully the views and intentions of the American government. "In this document no comminatory information was made nor any date fixed, but it was clearly and firmly stated that the United States government could no longer withhold from congress the correspondence and consular reports which not only put in full light the condition of the distressed rural population of Cuba, the in adequate relief and the persistence 01 disaffection; but also that the new colouial policy and other efforts Spain had not produced the results that would justify holding out the prospect of early pacification. "Consequently, the American note lays stress upon the fact that contingencies are now fast approaching for the action which was foreshadowed in presidential messuges and diplomatic correspondence so frequently and clearly during the last three years. "The American note and the language of General Woodford in his conferences with Senor GuIIod, leaves no doubt that it is the intention of the Washington government to act very soon, beginning with the communication of the above document and the Maine report to congress and sending relief officially to the distressed Cubaus." London, March 27.?On Friday, says the Madrid correspondent of the Staudard, General Woodford held, by appointment, another interview with Seuor Gullon, in which he received the official reply of the Spanish "government to the American memorandum of March 23. The Spanish reply, couched in firm language, says that the Spanish government cannot agree with the conclusions the American government has drawn from inaccurate information, that does not tally with the recent activity and progress of the military operations in Cuba and the visible popularity and progress of the new colonial institutions, which have been loyally accepted and are supported by even the old adversaries of home rule in the colony. "Spain," the reply continues, "cannot naturally admit the interference which is foreshadowed in the Americau note and deprecates the sending of official relief and war vessels to Cuba, as being the very element that has retarded the pacification of the colony. Spain reminds the American government of all the concessions she has made to preserve peaceful relation and to conciliate the United States, the last proof being her willingness to submit the conflicting commission reports as to the Maine* to arbitration." In conclusion, the Spanish reply shows that the government believes it has reached the extreme limit of concession compatible with the honor and dignity of Spain and will not adroit encroachments on her rights of sovereignty in the west. The matter-now rests with the president, and both governments evidently consider the Maine affair a mere incident in the more important issues about to be raised by the conduct of the United States. FACTS AND RUMORS. Summary of tlie Many Development)* of Monday. Commodore W. S. Schley arrived at Hampton Roads on Monday to take command of the flying squadron there. He was received by the officers and men with an enthusiasm that rather exceeded the bounds of discipline; but the circumstances were such that he did not take occasion to offer any rebuke. Within half an hour after hoarding the Brooklyn, Commodore Schley read his commission and his flag was lloated from the masthead. One of the big guns belched forth a salute which was answered from another vessel, and the ceremony was over. During the morning, Commo uore i3UIliey saiu tu a yicno ic|imiiutative : "I have no orders to move, nor do I know when any will come. We are ready to move on the shortest kind of notice on the completion of the fleet." A Havana dispatch to the New York Herald says that on Sunday the Spanish General Cognosto offered to furnish General Lee with a body guard. General Lee refused the offer, and Geueral Cognosto contented himself with placing a large body of detectives, in the clothing of civilians, about the consulate. The dispatch to the Herald goes on to say that General Lee, believing that a serious crisis in affairs is likely to occur at any mo meat, has prepared a revised list of all the American residents of Havana, together with their addresses, in order that they may be communicated with on short notice. A large number of yachts, tugs, and other small vessels recently acquired by the government for emergency, is known as the "Moqutio" fleet. It is now at the navy yard of the Cramp's near Philadelphia. Commander Horace Elgers has been ordered to take command. It is claimed that the real mission of the Mangrove, which was recently sent to Havana, ostensibly for the purpose of bringing away anything additional that might be saved from the wreck of the Maine, is to be at the service of Consul General Lee, in tbe event that official may find it desirable to leave in a hurry. LETTER FROM HICKORY (MOVE. Sale of the Allison Property?Mr. T. P. McDill, Intendant ? Personal and Other Notes. Correspondence of the Yorkrille Enquirer. Hickory Grove, March 28.?Considerable personal property and real estate changed bands here last week. The drug stock of Dr. J. W. Allison was sold to Dr. Teal, and the groceries to Mr. J. B. Martin. Mrs. J. W. Allison sold to Dr. Wardja nice building lot opposite Mr. J. N. McDill's. Mrs. J. K. Allison sold to Wilkinson and Martin, tbe beautiful lot joining the academy lot. Mr. C. M. Martin sold his store-room and lot to Whisonant it Castles. Mr. R. A. Jones sold his store and lot to Miss Sallie Wylie. Dr. Teal has opened up a first-class drug store in which Dr. Allison was doing business. Miss Sallie Wylie expects to open up a nice stock of millinery in a few days. Mr. Tom Smith has carefully prepared seven acres of land on the river for cotton, and expects to realize 15 bales in tbe fall. Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Blair are visiting relatives here. Mrs. J. F. Ashe, of McConnellsville. is visiting her sister, Mrs. S. W. Mitchell. Miss Emma McDill has been sick for several days with grip. Mr. R. M. Allison is still unable to be out. The town election was held last Friday. Mr. Thos. P. McDill was elected intendant, and R. L. Scoggins, W. J. Moorhead, J. E. Westmoreland and B. K. Hardin, wardens. Rain is very much needed in this section. ? ? ? They Are Holding Cotton.? Southern mills are reported as holding considerably larger stocks of cotton than they did at this time last year. They have evidently learned a lesson from the experience of those Carolina mills, which last summer found it nec essary to buy cotton in .New York in order to keep their machinery in operation. CroD DroDhets are now talking as high as eleven and a quarter million bales, but it is rather improbable iT this figure will really be reached. A Texas gentleman, at present in Boston, states that the state is quite well cleaned up. Planting will soon be quite general in the belt, and by April 15 a large part of the crop should be in. It has been estimated that a declaration of war with Spain before the planting time would decrease the acreage nearly 50 per cent.?American Wool and Cotton Reporter. A Good Move. Prominent mill men of Anderson and the country thereabouts, have arranged to build a fire proof bonded warehouse in which to store cotton. AT THE CHURCHES. baptist. Rev. Edward S. Reaves, Pastor.

There are some people who affect to believe that the farmers of York county are too sluggish or not intelligent enough to want news more than once a week or once a month, etc., and who also aH'ect to believe that these citizens would as lieve have old stuff that has long since passed out of date as real live news. We do not believe any such thing; but we are not going to argue the matter even a little bit. But we know it to be a fact that 7o per cent, of the circulation of Tub ExquiRKK is called for on the day it arrives at the respective postolHces, and we would not be much afraid to offer a $5 bill to the individual who can find in any postoilice in York county, a copy sent to a regular subscriber since January, and which is six days old. We know of many offices, however, where whole piles of other papers for weeks back may be collected. The postmasters have often told us that they haa served on me puulishers the usual discontinuance notice; but to this notice the publishers never pay any attention. All this is the diflerence between a paper the people want and one they don't. See?
