The campaigners will have no other appointments during the week. Shurley Can Tell You. There are two vacant cadetships to be filled in the Citadel academy from York county. Superintendent of Education Shurley can give any information that may be desired in addition to the advertised notice. At Hickory Instead of Lenoir. A telecram from President Harper advises us that in stating that the meeting of the stockholders of the Carolina and Northwestern railroad would be held at Lenoir, we were mistaken. The meeting is to be held at Hickory, on the date stated?July 14. The limit for passes returning has been extended to the 16th ; but those who desire to attend the meeting without expense for transportation, must make application to President Harper beforehand as stated. The railroad people are determined to put an end to the free-for-all custom. Heavy Rains. The rains of last Thursday were, so far as we have information, quite general. Over in Rock Hill and vicinity, from about 9 to 11, Thursday morning, there was what seemed to be a veritable cloudburst. One shower followed another until the streets and roads were flooded. There was much damage to crops, especially east of Rock Hill, by high water. All the little streams made records for themselves and much corn was washed away. Between here and Rock Hill there was generally a good season, without much damage, especially over in this direction. The Health Situation. There is some local excitement on account of what is described by some as the wide prevalence of fever in Yorkville. As a matter of fact, conditions are not different from what they usually are at this season of the year in Yorkville and other Piedmont towns of the same size. Some timid persons are honestly frightened, and there are others who are interested in working on their fears. For instance, a fever scare is a good thing to promote the sewerage scheme that a number of people have advocated for sometime. As has been stated, there is some fever ; but physicians differ both as to its nature and cause. Some assert dogmatically'the cause, and stick to it until they change their minds. Maybe lack of sewerage is the trouble and maybe it is not. If this was the trouble 10 years ago, it is the trouble yet. However, there is really no more sense in a fever scare now than there was some weeks ago in a smallpox scare. MERE-MENTION. Statements have been published to the effect that there is yellow fever among the troops at Santiago. From the best information obtainable this is untrue. It was reported at Gibraltar, on Weduesday, that Madrid had ordered Camara to return to Spain. The navy department believes that some of the Spanish ships can be saved. Since last Sundav the European papers have changed their tone wouderfully. Most of them are now trying to forget that they ever championed the cause of Spain. Twenty-seven Red Cross nurses arrived at Tampa last Wednesday on their way to the battlefield. The St. Paul left New York Wednesday morning with a regiment of volunteers on board. Spanish Brigadier General Vara del Rey was killed at El Caney last Tuesday. He was standing in a hedge with a number of bis aides and a volley from the Americans riddled the whole party. Upon the arrival of the American expedition at Manila, all the foreign warships left except two French, two German and four Eluglish. General Miles expects to be at Santiago within a few days. The Madrid papers refused to publish the American accouuts of the destruction of Cervera's fleet because they were "wild exaggerations." It is reported in Washington that the ^resident has decided to annoint Sampson and Schley rear admirals, and Captain Phillip, of the Texas, a commodore. Colonel Wardlaw RexigtiK. Colonel Joseph G. Wardlaw has resigned his position as colonel iu the state militia. The resignation is accompanied by an open letter to the goveror, which letter shows considerable pique and makes it clear that the resignation is because of the governor's failure to appoiut the writer a colonel of volunteers. Coing to Cuba. Seven thousand troops are collecting in Charleston preparatory to embarking for Santiago. ? OP FRIDAY. Summary of War Developments Up to 5 O'Clock P. M. By Telegraph to The Yorkvllle Enquirer. Will Wait For Merritt. Washington, July 8.?The navy department today received from Manila, by way of Hong Kong, a cable from Dewey in which the admiral reports that he has decided to defer the attack upon the city until the arrival of General Merritt. Still Waiting: at Santiago. A large number of non-combatantsmen, women and children?left Santiago this morning to escape the pending bombardment, and passed through the American lines, Thev reDort that the city is in a desperate condition and tbat there is much distress from lack of food. There is a strong feeling among the rank and file for surrender to General Shafter on the best terms to be procured. Coming to Reason. At the request of General Linares, General Shafter has sent operators to Santiago to cable Madrid with reference to surrender. Poetic Proof In This. Experts who had examined the wreck of the Maine, in Havana harbor, on yesterday, made a careful examination of the wrecks of Cervera's ships, and they give it as their very decided opinion that there is no longer any reason to doubt that the Maine was destroyed by an external explosion. Wants Help to Let Loose. Rome, July 8.?The Spanish ambassador here says that Spain will surrender Santiago if the powers will intervene to conclude peace. Armistice Extended. Washington, July 8.?General Shafter advises the department that the armistice has been extended until tomorrow at noon iq order to allow General Linares time in which to confer with Madrid with regard to surrender. If the conference with Madrid does not result in surrender, then the bombardment will commence at once on land and sea. It is the plan of Admiral Sampson to capture and occupy the forts at the entrance to the harbor. The prospects for surrender are good. HOBSON EXCHANGED. The Heroic Lieutenant Gets Liberty at Last. Lieutenant Hobson and his brave men are no longer in the custody of the Spaniards. They were exchanged last Wednesday and are now back at their respective posts. Shortly after the Spanish authorities consented to exchange Hobson and his men, the Americans were on hand at the appointed rendezvous with Spanish prisoners. The meeting took place under a tree, about half way between the opposing lines. Colonel John Jacob Astor, accompanied by Lieutenant Mallory, conducted negotiations on the part of the Americans, and Major Irles, a Spanish staff officer, who speaks English perfectly, represented the Spaniards. Major Irles brought Hobson and his men, and Colonel Astor had with him three Spanish lieutenants?Amelio Valez, Aurelius and Adolfo Aries?together with 14 officers and privates. The prisoners were conducted through the American lines mounted, but blindfolded. Colonel Astor offered Major Irles the choice of the three lieutenants, and he selected Aries. Aries belonged to the most aristocratic regiment in the Spanish army. After this selection, Colonel Astor threw in all the 14 non-commissioned officers and privates in exchange for the seven other brave men. The Spaniard talked in a tone which indicated considerable difidence. He wanted the Americans to understand that he desired a renewal of hostilities without delay. When the conference was over, he remarked : "Our understanding is, gentlemen, that this truce comes to an end at 5 o'clock." The conference, however, was courteous and dignified on both sides throughout. The meeting of the two parties and the exchange of prisoners had taken place in full view of both the American aud Spauish soldiers who were intrenched near the meeting place and the keenest interest was baden in the episode. As Hobson and the men of the Merrimac approached the first line of iutrenchmeuts, occupied by the Rough Riders, low murmurs ran from one end of the line of cowboys aud eastern athletes to the other, and by the time the returning party reached them every man was on his feet, refusing to be restrained by the admonishing of the officers, cheering wildly and rushing over every obstacle that chanced to be in their way, in their efforts to reach Hobson and his party and grasp them by the haud. The released prisoners were soon surrounded aud compelled to stop to receive the nrrootiniro pnnrrrut n 1 u t inna nnd vifnr bIVVUU^| v/w..?,. ~ "O - ous, heartfelt handshaking of men they had never seen before. Sun-burned cavalrymen, who had spent their lives in the saddle ou the plains of Arizona, New Mexico or other western states or territories, and who did not know the difference between a ship's maintop, bilge or keep, threw their arms around the sailor boys and literally dragged them over the iutrenchments, all the time sending out yells that under other circumstances would have struck terror to hearts even as gallant as those of the Merrimac heroes. No mountain fastness of the west ever resounded with shouts from an Indian war dance that equalled the wild outbreak of American spirit that occured at this meeting of the sailors who did their duty with every Spanish gun in the harbor trained upon them and the hardy men, who, from the day of their arrival on the island of Cuba have fought their way over the bodies of their own dead and wounded to the very gates of the city that they will gladly storm when ordered to do so. All the other Americans were enthu- | siastic. General Wheeler gave the I boys a hearty welcome and Grimes's I battery could be restrained from firing 1 a salute only with the greatest difficulty. Then Hobson was taken to Gen. i Shafter's quarters and here be received < another warm greeting. When the < lieutenant got an opportunity, he made 1 the following statement to the correspondent of the Associated Press : ] "During the first four days we were I prisoners of war we were confined in i Morro castle, and I can assure you < those were extremely uncomfortable I and disagreeable days. The Spaniards 1 did not exactly ill-treat us ; but it took tnem sometime to recover irom toe 1 shock caused by what most of them considered our Yankee impudence in trying to block their harbor. "As a rule the officers and men who came into contact with us were gruff in speech and sullen in manner. There were maDy threatening glances shot in our direction. For Admiral Cervera I have nothing but the highest admiration. "His act in informing Admiral Sampson of our safety, I regard as that of a kindhearted, and generous man and chivalrous officer. I expressed to him my sincere thanks and the thanks of my men for taking this means of relieving the anxiety of our shipmates and our friends at home. He repeatedly spoke to me of his admiration of what he called one of the most daring acts in naval history, though I am sure we were not entitled to the commendation we received, for there were hundreds of other men on our ships who would have been glad to undertake to do the same thing. "While we were in Morro castle we were naval prisoners of war; but, at the end of four days, we were transferred to the jurisdiction of the army and were removed to the Reina Mercedes hospital on the outskirts of Santiago, where we remained until today. We knew but little of what was going ' on in the city, though, of course, we 8 could always tell when our fleet was bombarding the shore batteries, and * we could easily distinguish tbe terrific 1 explosions caused by the Vesuvius * throwing dynamite shells. Several times at night we were also fully 1 aware that the land batteries were 1 fighting outside the city. Last Friday 8 and Saturday it would be difficult to 1 explain how anxious we were for news of the success of our side during ' the engagement. The little informs- " tion the Spaniards would give us could not be relied upon. 1 "One thing that I found out in the ^ hospital was that a large number of Spanish officers were wounded in last r Friday's fight, for many were brought c to the hospital to be treated. Num- 1 bers of badly-aimed bullets came into ' the hospital windows on Friday ; but I do not believe anyone was injured by them. Our quarters there were very clean and comfortable and fairly ^ good. In fact, I have no reason to 5 complain of our treatment as prisoners of war. The prejudice which the Spaniards showed against us duing the * first few days soon wore away. We { conducted ourselver properly and simply forced them to treat us well. "We knew nothing about the de- s struction of Admiral Cervera's fleet 1 until told by our own people today. 8 Of course our confinement became very irksome, and I cannot tell you how r great was the relief we felt to be free 8 again. I cannot express my gratitude to our soldiers who gave us such a welcome when we came into the lines. 1 All of us are in excellent health and glad to go back to our posts again and see the war through to the end." e , c BLACKSBURG BUDGET.

The president, on Thursday, signed :,he resolution for the annexation of Hawaii, and the Philadelphia was jrdered to go from San Francisco to :ake possession of the islands in the mine of the United States. A rumor was current in Madrid on Thursday to the effect that the bombardment of Santiago had commenced. There was no American news to that :ffect. General Shafter advised Washington >n Thursday that a number of high Spanish officers bad come into the American lines from Santiago and surrendered. This was taken to indicate hat there would probably be an early surrender. French and Portuguese consuls represented to General Shafter that the Spanish garrison includes only 5,000 nen. This is doubted, because it is :onsidered almost certain that General ?ando arrived in Santiago with pretty learly that number. Every energy is being exerted to ;xpedite the starting of Watson's fleet <o the Spanish coast. The fleet is to >e a powerful one, led by the Oregon ind Iowa. Washington has unofficial advices vhich are believed to be accurate, to he effect that Spain will ask for peace vithin the next few days. Sampson reports that the sinking of he Reina Mercedes was with the inention of blocking the harbor ; but on iccount of the hot fire of the Arnercans, the scheme failed. The latest estimate of the Spanish oes in last Sunday's sea fight, is 1,200 Lilted and 1,500 captured. In the fight with the Spanish ships he other day, the Brooklyn was hit 15 times. It was officially announced in Madid on Thursday, that the Santiago :able had been cut. This, of course, nay or may not be a fact. AT THE CHURCHES. baptist. Sunday Services.?YORKVILLE?

The soldiers will fight the war, while we "speed the plow." Let us prepare our lands with the same thought and care as the general and his staff prepares for battle; let us sow an abundant crop of wheat, oats and pease, together with grasses and clover, and the fields will bloom in all their glory while the martial music of the war will be drowned with the fairy-like song of the birds in the spring, and peace ana plenty will most likely be our reward.
