Scraps and .facts. ? As typical of the spirit which enabled Uncle Sam's soldiers to capture Santiago in the face of almost insurmountable difficulties, this letter, written by Captain H. L. Bailey to his father, in Burlington, Mo., before General Toral's surrender, is of no little interest: "I imagine you are anxious about us here in Cuba. Those at home suffer the most. We have hardships before us, but we are in good condition to bear much. Yet we most dread disease. We are very hopeful, and it will take a good deal to depress us. God takes care of children, drunken men and the United States." ? Through the French ambassador in Washington, Mr. Cambon, Spain on last Tuesday asked President McKinley if he would open negotiations look 1 ing to peace. me president reierreu the matter to the cabinet. No serious importance is attached to the overture, however. It may have been merely a piece of diplomacy, for the purpose of briuging about an armistice and delaying the occupation of Porto Rico. But it was too late for that. General Miles had already landed and the United States will no doubt continue the war on until everything that was intended to be done is accomplished. ? The people in this country will learn with surprise and disgust that only one newspaper in Venezuela favors the United States against Spain. That one paper is edited by an Englishman, a man who comes from a country against which he took the part of Venezuela less than three years ago. The general tenor of the Venezuelan press is exemplified in the assertion of the leading newspaper of Caracas, that after this war is over "the naval policy of Washington will be felt in its utmost rigor in the whole of Latin America, and especially in those republics that coast the Carribean sea. The Americans are engaged in a war of foreign cupidity and we do not hesitate to declare that all our opinions, convictions and good wishes are on the side of Spain." Was there ever a more disgraceful exhibition of national ingratitude. ? It now develops beyond a shadow of doubt that Joe Wheeler was the real hero of Santiago. During the first day's fighting, Shafter was sick in his tent and Wheeler had command. Before the day was over, it was quite clear that the problem of driving the Spaniards was a knotty one. Many of the officers, generals, colonels and captains felt that to go on would only be to invite disaster and they advised a retreat. General Wheeler said no; it would never do to give an inch of ground. This would ruin the prestige that had already been won by the Americans. The Spaniards, he said, were in a still worse fix, and he ordered that this word be passed along the American lines. Then he wrote to General Shafter and begged him uot to listen to advice to fall back. By his firmness the Confederate inspired more confidence, and when the boys were again ordered to advance they kept advancing. ? New York Journal: When the Vizcaya tried to ram the Brooklyn at Santiago it was not only a rain of steel and dpnth that Schlev's flaershiD Dour ed into the Spaniards, but a rain of gold. In five minutes the Brooklyn fired $41,980 worth of ammunition into the Vizcaya. At the end of that time the latter was a hopeless wreck. Gunner Applegate, of the Brooklyn, says that during those five minutes his ship fired 141 8-inch shells, 65 6-inch shells, 12 6-pounders and 400 1-pounders. It is probable that no such heavy and fearful fire was ever before delivered by a warship. The air was filled with shells the whole time. Assuming that Schley used his best quality shells, the 8-inch cost $240.57, the 6-inch $104.61, the 6-pounders $5 and the 1-pounders $3. Thus you get the total of $41,9S0. It is a large bill, but it will be a satisfaction to pay it. One shell raked the Vizcaya fore and aft and killed 80 Spaniards in its passage. Most of the remaining 140 8-inch shells struck the Spaniard somewhere. ? It was reported in the papers that supply ships putting in at Santiago have beeu turned away, and it became necessary for General Shufter to report on the matter. His report is as follows : "Press reports not true. I only know of three ships having arrived, one from Kingston, the others from the United States. The Briton has sold its cargo ; one of the others, a ship from New Orleans, has sold only a part of it, and tells me he is going away tonight. I thiuk he will sell before he leaves. The trouble is they did not expect to pay auy duty, and arrived here without money. The Spanish customs, as applied to Spanish subjects, has only been collected, and the 20 cents per ton, as ordered by the secretary. I discovered this morning an attempt on the part of the munici pa I auinuruies iu cuucui a iui;m ui 40 cents per 1,000 kilos, in this instance amounting to $2,500. I had already settled this matter by ordering its non-collection. The fact is there is no money here to do business, and merchants are very timid about making ' purchases, fearing the eilect of the Red Cross supplies, who really are feeding the town. The New Orleans man, for instance, brought 29 head of cattle, which he sold at $85 per head ; the person buying kills one a day, selliug the meat at 70 cents a pound. Of course only a few people buy. The first week we were here people were starving to death, and I think a few now are dying from the effects of starvation. I am positive, however, that the customs have been honestly administered." ? A cablegram from Hong Kong to The Journal says that Admiral Dewey at Manila has dispatched the Raleigh and Concord to gather up 11 Spanish craft, which, according to information) sent him by Consul General Wildman, are at various places in the Philippine archipelago. Among these vessels are three gunboats at San Miguel, Luzon Island, and four at Port Royalist, Palawar Island. Four merchantmen with cargoes of tobacco are reported at Cagayan, Luzon. The same dispatch reports that English traders at the coal mines at Batan, Luzon Island, have been imprisoned and subjected to ill treatment otherwise by the Spaniards there. /jfi ?tic <3junsuuie t&wjuuu. YORKVILLE, S. C.: SATURDAY, JULY 30, 1898. ? The statement made by some of the campaigners to the effect that the so-called campaign of education is a farce, meets our approval. The idea of any candidate for any office discussing the weighty issues involved within 5 or 15 minutes is absurd. ? The Johnston Monitor denounces the story that George D. Tillman will withdraw from the race as untrue. If the story was started for political purposes, it would be a great pity to allow it to affect the vote of the Edgefield man. ? The campaign meeting at Winnsboro, on last Tuesday, was as disgraceful as that of four years ago, when a drunken mob howled down everybody but John Gary Evans. This time the mob howled only for Governor Ellerbe. Such conduct as this will, no doubt, quickly solve the dispensary question. ? As to how much of last Wednesday's applause was genuine, we cannot certainly say. Some of it was soontaneous. and some of it was not. -* t Of this we are reasonably certain. However, to the honor of York be it said that every candidate got a fair showing, and there was no howling down, or other disrespect shown to any. ? The report of the Yorkville campaign meeting last Wednesday, which appears elsewhere in this issue, is not complete. To give a full report of all that was said would be rather more than we think we can afford. It would not interest the people, and our work would go for nothing. But all the same, the report published today is the fullest that has yet been published by any newspaper in the state. ? It seems to be a pity that the papers are so persistent in their efforts to make a laughing stock of G. Walt Whitman. The old fellow gives utterance to a great many many sharp and plain spoken truths, and he ought to have some credit for his work. We are aware of the fact that it has been stated that the Honorable G. Walt is unbalanced ; but he does not seem to convict himself with his tongue. ? What kind of "rabbit foot" does President Riddle, of Clover, carry in his pocket ? We have a little experience with two factories, but?they don't pay 12 per cent, dividend.?Associate Reformed Presbyterian. We have not seen Mr. Riddle lately ; but we imagine that be would advise our contemporary that there is no rabbit foot about this matter. It is nothing but business. And although it is an open secret that Mr. Riddle's connection with the factory does not detract in the least from its splendid success, that gentleman would not think of claiming even the credit to which he is entitled. He would try to put it all on Mr. M. L. Smith, who, in turn, would insist that Mr. Riddle is a pretty good man to have around when problems are to be solved. The fact is that if there is any rabbit foot about the matter at all, there are two of them. ? The cause of the trouble between Governor Ellerbe and Editor Kcester, of the Columbia Record, is now public property. A few days ago, Governor Ellerbe referred to Editor Kcester as a "political prostitute who could be bought like a piece of meat in the market." This brings out a personal statement from K(ester. It is to the effect that a number of Reformers wanted a daily paper in Columbia. Governor Ellerbe agreed to subscribe ?230. At one time he paid ?50 and at another time ?37.50, but defaulted in subsequent payments. When K(ester began to support Norton instead of J. E. Ellerbe for congress, Governor Ellerbe protested on the ground that he had money in the paper, and tried to make Ktester support J. E. Ellerbe. Ku-ster refused, because, as he says, of personal friendship for Norton, and of the political necessity involved. Governor Ellerbe thereupon declined to pay the balance of his subscription and afterward Ku'Ster refunded him the ?87.50 already paid. Upon this there was a dissolution of partnership and now Kcester says he is figbtiDg 1 Governor Ellerbe because the govern- 1 or is a characterless teacher. e I UNREASONABLE CHARGES. t The alleged stiff prices that The c Enquirer charges for advertising e has been a choice argument for the * manufacture of prejudice against this t paper during the past ten years, a These alleged high prices have been i commented on so persistently, and a repeated over so often by gentlemen rvf ennnncprl rpcnpp.t.Rhilitv and intfil- t, V4 ?-?t/l'vwv4- -?I . ligence, that even close friends of r The Enquirer have been disposed c to accept the alleged coudition as a a fact. h These friends, of course, have not i been especially worried about the 8 matter. They recognize that by all ? the laws of business, un advertise- 8 ment in The Enquirer ought to cost 1 more than in any other newspaper 8 in this county, and, of course, are t not disposed to question the justice > and equity of our charges. They c believe they will get value received, * and they kuow that the scale of * prices in this office operates on all * alike. All understand that the man I who wants some concession that we 1 cannot afford to grant to the public 1 as a business proposition, is politely f told to go elsewhere if he so desires. We know it to be a fact that one of the gentlemen who has for years been most prominent in his efforts to establish an organ for himself and * others, has given as a justification ^ that he wanted "cheaper advertising." 8 He thinks he is getting it, no doubt, 8 and perhaps he is; hut somenow we have always been disposed to laugh in our sleeve at this gentleman. He is not the poor creature whose incentive is to "cost 'em money." He has other objects in view ; but somehow we have always been disposed to consider him as pretty nearly "witless." Well, a few weeks ago the graded school trustees sent the same advertisement to both of the local papers. The advertisement was to be inserted two times. When the bills came in, that of The Enquirer, was $1.50, and that of the "cheaper advertising" paper $2.00. The trustees could not understand the discrepancy. They thought, of course, that if there was any difference the bill of The Enquirer should be the larger. As a matter of fact, one of the trustees is reported to have said that his idea in the matter was to have the notice in The Enquirer for the benefit of the public, and in the other paper to avoid unpleasantness. The bills were paid, of course. There was nothing else for the trustees to do. But the story got out and created some astonishment. The gentleman whose incentive is to "cost 'em money," explained with the statement that "The Enquirer had knocked off anmethinc from its regular nrice in or- i O QJ * der to prej udice the other paper." But that this is not correct, we are sure. The rates of The Enquirer for such advertisements are advertised at $1 a square for the first insertion and 50" cents for each subsequent insertion. The size of the type is indicated, and a square is defined as ten lines. Well, as this advertisement made exactly ten lines, almost anybody can figure that the price for two insertions is $1.50. Somewhat surprised at this little development, last week we made inquiries in the office of the sheriff, and at our request we were permitted to examine the receipt book of that official. We found a sheriff's advertisement that had been published in ? the Rock Hill Herald and for which a the sum of $6 had been paid. At the c rate which The Enquirer charges, 8 this particular advertisement would j; have come to $4.50. We found an- . other advertisement that had been c printed by our local "cheaper adver- f tisiug" medium. The original charge c in this case was $9.30. At the request P of the lawyer in the case, the sum of 30 ' cents had been deducted, leaving the : bill even $9. At the regular advertised f rates in The Enquirer the original v bill for this advertisement would have I been $8.25. > Next, the representative of The Enquirer investigated the office of j the clerk of the court. Here we found where advertisements had been paid G for in the Rock Hill Herald, our local "cheaper advertising medium," and in u The Enquirer. The bills rendered ^ nn in ahnnf\ tVip camp ^ l'UIV4 ol,WMvu ur ??v u proportion as indicated above. The t charges of The Enquirer were in- n variably lower than those of either of a the other papers. This last investigation reminded us t of another circumstance, which we n proceeded to investigate. Just before a the recent special election in which o Mr. H. E. Johnson was selected to s succeed the late L. K. Armstrong, the , election commissioners, consisting of J. M. Taylor, chairman ; A. W. Glad- T den and R. C. Moore came into The Enquirer office to give official notice. A Mr. Taylor remarked in the presence ^ of the other commissioners, that for } the purpose of saving expense, it had j been agreed to publish the notice only a in The Enquirer. e The notice was duly published in c rhe Enquirer in accordance with aw. We noticed that it also appearid in the following issues of the Rock Jill Herald and our "cheaper adverising" contemporary. Of course we lid not regard the matter as of any special business of ours ; but aftervard, we learned that both of our eseemed contemporaries had drawn pay, ind in view of recent developments t occurred to us to find out the .mount of this pay. Election notices are not paid for by he county ; but by the state, and the ate is fixed by law, as follows: Five :ents a word for captioo, and one cent > word for text, first insertion, and a lalf cent a word for text the second nsertion. We had counted up the idvertisement for all it was worth, renembering, of course, that we had to wear to our bill. We knew positivey that The Herald and our "cheaper idvertising" contemporary had set up heir copies from the notice published n The Enquirer, and presumed, of :ourse, that each of the bills should >e for the same amount. But as we lave said, in view of recent developnents, last week we wrote to Colum>ia and had the amounts paid each lewspaper copied from the books of he state treasurer. Here are the igures: Enquirer, paid March 11,1898, 815.47. Yeoman, paid March 21, 1898, $20.00. Herald, paid March 21,1898, $21.00. Now we are puzzled to know first, vhere our esteemed contemporaries ;ot their authority to publish these idvertisements; and second, how they irrived at the respective amounts they lave charged. In conclusion, we will remark that ne advertising rates in ihe ?>nquik;r are as high today as they were 30 rears ago. We have not changed hem except in 1895, when they were nade the slightest fraction higher, lere is how it came about. The collmns were then 15 ems wide, and we :alled 8 lines a square. When the vidth of the columns was reduced to 13 ems, we increased the number of ines in a square to 10. This made a rery slight, though unappreciable, inirease in the price of advertising. v Now then, notwithstanding all that las been said about The Enquirer's idverlising rates, two things must be idmitted. One of these is that we do lot beg either public officials or private ndividuals to advertise in The Enquirer ; and the other is that a little ilind child can get just as good rates rom us as can the shrewdest patent nedicine sharper that ever drifted hrough this country. The Enquirsr is not "up to date" in business natters maybe ; but somehow the peo>le of York county still have confilence in it, and if we were pressed we :ould come pretty nearly telling the eason why. The Brave Respect the Brave.? Jere is one to the credit of Richard Jarding Davis, correspondent of the ^ew York Herald and London Times, ^.fter the battle a heavy traveling bag >r trunk was found with no owner at land to claim it. Several Negroes of he Tenth cavalry regulars opened it ind found a variety of fancy shirts, rousers, stockings and such like, fhese they immediately confiscated ind began to bedeck themselves with.

Spartanburg Herald, Wednesday : Miss Marie Smith returned yesterday from a visit to Bethel, York county. Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Dixon, of Uuion, are visiting in Yorkville, the guests of Mrs. Dixon's father, Mr. Jos. F. Wallace. Mr. and Mrs. D. E. Flynn and little daughter, Faye, of Lancaster county, are visiting Mrs. Flynu's parents, Rev. and Mrs. M. J. Long. To Mr. W. B. Moore belongs the credit of conceiving, arranging and making such a success of the big procession in Yorkville last Wednesday. That the show was greatly enjoyed there is no question. Mr. G. F. Harper, general passenger agent of the Carolina and North-Western railroad, was in Yorkville on last Wednesday, looking after the interests of his road and taking in the occasion generally. He says that work on the gap between Hickory and Newton is being pushed with all possible dispatch and that, barring unforeseen accidents, by September 1 the Narrow Gauge will have an independent line from Chester to Lenoir. THE BICYCLE RACES. The midsummer meet of the Yorkville Wheelmen's association, last Wednesday afternoon, was considerably interferred with by the rain; but, all the same, there was present a large number of wheelmen, along with the advertised list of riders, and the management did the best it could to carry out the programme in accordance with promise. The first race?one mile amateur, open?had to be run in three heats. It was won by S. L. Meacham, of Fort Mill, with John E. Ardrey second. The next race was the half-mile, amateur for boys. The entries were Hope Brison, of Clover, and Eugene Hutchison, of Rock Hill. This race was exciting from start to finish, and was won by the narrowest kind of a margin by Hutchison. The third race was one mile, for York county riders only. The entries were John M. Smith and Oscar Neil, Clover; Sam L. Meacham, John E. Ardrey, and W. S. McMurray, Fort Mill. Neil won in 2.32$, and Ardrey came in second. About this time the threatening cloud overheard broke loose and put an end to further sport. The result, of course, was generally dissatisfying and makes all the more necessary a Fall meet in which the whole thing can be settled for the year. Notwithstanding the threatening weather, the attendance on the races was fairly good. There were present something like 400 people. There were hundreds of others down town who failed to get out because of a very natural belief that under the circumstances the meet had been postponed. With good weather conditions, the audience would have probably been the largest that has ever gathered on a similar occasion in this section. ACCORDING TO PROMISE. As an inducement to visitors, the Yorkville Wheelmen's Association made some pretty big promises for last Wednesday, and in justice to the wheelmen, it is only fair to say that these promises were fully carried out. Some of the announcements in the circular that was so widely distributed throughout the county and in adjoining towns, might easily have been taken on the circus bill order? cnly to catch the crowd. But it did not turn out that way, it will be noLed. The crowd was caught, but not deceived. Early in the afternoon it began to appear that the procession would not be able to move on schedule time, and that there was the greatest danger of interference with the races by rain. Business expediency would have suggested the elimination of the free show in the interest of the other from which revenue was expected. But those who were charged with the carrying out < )f the programme, did not even conIder such an idea, and it is fair also ;o say that they did not worry them- i selves in the least over the fact that 1 ;he races were not so well attended as :bey would have been had it not been 'or the awkward interference of the < ain. ' The members of the Wheelmen's as- i sociation, Chairman Brice of the Dem- i )cratic Executive committee, and the i people of Yorkville generally, did ] ,vhat they could to make the day an j enjoyable one for everybody, and all experienced much pleasure in so doing. If the old town has ever entered with more unanimity in making a big success of any similar occasion, The Enquirer does not remember the time ; and without the least reserve we here predict that the next time an entertainment of the kind is attempted, it will be carried out on a scale which will make even last Wednesday's achievement an insignificant affair in nnmnarison. THE STREET PROCESSION. Not the least striking feature of last Wednesday's entertainment, was the unique street procession that had been previously advertised to take place in the afternoon. It was a success from start to finish, except for interference by the rain, and this did not happen until the show was nearly over. The procession started from the residence of Captain W. B. Moore at about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, went down Main street to the old Narrow Gauge depot, and then back to the starting point. First in order came the bicycle battalion, composed of about 30 boys and girls, costumed in the national colors, riding decorated wheels. This was under command of Captain J. F. Glenn, and the handsomely executed military movements that were executed as the battalion proceeded along were admirable. Then 6ame the band in a 'bus, decorated with bunting from top to bottom, end to end add side to side, and drawn by four strapping mules. At intervals the band struck up its liveliest airs, and thus heralded the coming of the pageant. After the band came a military escort on horseback, and then the Goddess of Liberty, in a chariot drawn by twn hnrsps and followed bv the mount ed military escort. Next came the float, containing the 13 original states, driven by "Uncle Sam." The float was covered with whole bolts of bunting; but as imposing as was the float, it did not detract in the least from the beauty of the pyramid of young ladies who represented the 13 states. They were beauties, all of them. Their costumes, of national colors, were becoming, and not one of the states would feel offended at the manner in which it was represented. South Carolina, of course, as she is entitled to, took a central part in the picture, being represented by Miss Liila McClain, of Yorkyille, who in an especially tasteful costume, gave proper prominence to the Palmetto flag. The other young ladies, each carried a small banner indicating the states they represented as follows: Miss Bertha Stahn, Chester; Miss Pearl Payseur, Lancaster; Miss Genie Sprunt, Rock Hill; Miss Mabel Ardrey, Fort $ Mill; Miss Ida Guy, Lowrysville; Miss Ella Love, McConnellsville ; Miss Lillian Massey, Tirzah ; Miss Prue Crouse, Lincolnton, N. C.; Miss May Slaughter, Hickory Grove; Miss Nan Hoffman, Gastonia, N. C.; Miss Minnie Carroll, Gaffney ; Miss Mary Joe Witherspoon, Yorkville. This float was an especially pretty sight, and it made quite an impression on all who saw it. Several times along the route the people who thronged the sidewalks broke into cheers. Hobson's crew in the "Merrimac" was also a decided hit. The Merrimac was a genuine boat, also decorated, to be in keeping with the other floats, and containing seven handsome sailor boys. Big guns protruded from either side of the vessel; but did not in the least detract from the pleasing effect of the representation. Then, last came something to laugh at. Skillfully placed bunting covered the platform of an ordiuary one-horse wagon with taste enough to make a pleasiug trausformation. On this plat form there was au ordinary macs put, on which was painted the word "Soup," aud in the pot, costumed in saffron and red, and labeled "Spain," sat little Miss Marie Moore. The legend was "Spain in the Soup." It was about 4 o'clock when the procession reached the Madison street corner on the return trip, and here came up a rain which drove the pretty young ladies and the young men from the floats, putting a somewhat disappointing finale to an otherwise most delightful and imposing spectacle. LOCAL LACONICS. Until January 1st, 1809, For 80 Cents. The Twice-a-Week Enquirer, filled with the best and most reliable up-to-date news, will be furnished from the date of this issue until January 1899, for 80 cents. They Were Here. Messrs. Finley, Barber, Strait and Henry, the principal candidates for congress from this district, were all in Yorkville on Wednesday ; but none of them had an opportunity to address the people. They could only put in their time fixing their fences. The Bethel Picnic. Like the Gold Hill picnic, the annual picnic at Bethel is also a uniform 3uccess. The people up at Bethel feel a personal responsibility in the matter and they never fail to sustain their reputation for genuine hospitality. Even the pigs who carry nothing, and 50 only for the purpose of getting a
