iug was to be let out aud be had told him no. Mr. Culp said it was bis understanding that the printing was to be let out; but Mr. Brice insisted that nothing bad been done about the matter. A petitiou for the opening of a public road from Tirzab to the Lincoln road, via the residence of John F. Gordon and coming out at the "Tate place," was granted on condition that the petitioners secure the ngut or way. Another petition, asking for the opening of a public road from the J. S. Bratton residence, across E. B. Mendenhall's plantation to McConuellsville, was granted; Mr. MeDdenhall having agreed to give the right of way. There was no further business, and on motion of Mr. Miller, the meeting adjourned. LOCAL LACONICS. Auditor and Treasurer. The governor, last Wednesday, appointed Mr. H. A. D. Neely, ^as treasurer of York county, and Mr. W. W. Boyce as auditor. Both gentlemen have tbefr bonds ready, and it is expected that their commissions will be forthcoming within a few days. Price of Cotton. Cotton is up a little. Last week it * took a good article to bring 6 cents. Now there is just plenty of it that will bring that price. Mr. Ashe bought a few bales last Thursday at 6J ; but it was extra fine. Mr. Riddle bought Sbme good cotton yesterday for 6J. The average, however, will not run very high above 6 cents. There has * been quite a number of bales sold during the past few days. Each of the local buyers is gettiug his share. Pretty Bad Road*. A farmer left the vicinity of Pinck ney ferry last Wednesday morning at daylight with a wagon loaded with 20 bushels of wheat and drawn by three strong mules to come to mill at Yorkville. He did not get here until very late in the afternoon, and instead of trying to take his flour back home in his wagon, he ordered that it be shipped to Hickory Grove. This incident furnishes a good basis upon which to estimate the amount individuals can afford to subscribe toward better roads. The War Tax. A representative of the internal revenue department was in Yorkville one day last week to see how the people here are paying the war tax. He examined the clerk's office, the telegraph and express office, the railroad offices and the papers at the bank. He found things in firstclass shape generally, and remarked the unusually satisfactory condition of affairs in the telegraph office. It is his experience that a large number of dispatches are being seut without the necessary stamps having first been affixed. Hunting the Liqnor. Two gentlemen from the Newport neighborhood went to the jail on Wed nesday to try to find out where the three Negroes, who are charged with the murder of old Sam Simril, some weeks ago, hid the jug of liquor that was taken away from him. One of the Negroes who heretofore talked freely, denied everything, and but few points of information could be gotten from him. The Negroes had been instructed not to talk, and instead of following instructions, they talked freely ; but gave out little that was calculated to incriminate. Cold Ware Coining. Columbia Slate, Friday : The local office of the weather bureau received notice about midnight last night of the approach of a cold wave that will probably cause a fall in temperature of from 20 to 30 degrees by Friday night. Iu accordance withjrecent instructions by the chief of the weather bureau, cold wave signals will not be ordered for central South Caroliua unless a fall of 20 degrees or more, and to 20 or below, is expected. It is, therefore, probable that freezing weather will prevail after tonight, which will likely last over Sunday. Funeral of Mrit. Barron. The funeral of Mrs. W. T. Barron took place last Wednesday afternoon at 3.30 o'clock, from the Associate Reformed church. The services were conducted by Rev. B. H. Grier, assisted by Rev. Dr. J. C. Galloway. It was the desire of Dr. Galloway, a former pastor and very dear friend of the family, to make a few personal remarks about the deceased ; but before he had proceeded very far with what he had to say, be was interrupted hy a circumstance that added still further to the distress of the sad occasion. Miss Bessie Barron, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Barron swooned. Rev. Dr. Galloway at once closed the services with a Psalm. The funeral was largely attended. Besides most of the leading male citizens, it seemed as if half the ladies of Yorkviile were there. There were also preseut quite a large number of relatives aud friends of the family from a distance. How Is It to be Enforced?? The bill to compel certaiu employers to furnish seals for their female employees, it is explained, provides that any person who violates its terms, "or s who suffers or permits any woman to stand," iu violation of its terms, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and on conviction shall be punished by a fine of from $20 to $100 for each offence. The question remains, how is the bill to be enforced, and it is one, we think, which requires all the attention which the friends of the measure can give to it. Of course, when a girl is discharged from a store or shop or office, for any cause, she will be at. liberty to report her employer for violation of the law while she was in his service, and the possibility of such action on her part will affect the conduct of employers in some measure ; but the bill is not designed to operate on so limited a scale, and it is to be considered that the employees will be deterred from even such action by the fear of being blacklisted by other employers in her business. The purpose of the bill appears to demand the services of a police inspector, or some such official, to make it really effective, aud hopeful suggestions are in order at any rate.?News aud Courier. THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY. summary 01 hiuhj impiuus .u ...v Houae and Senate. The principal developments of interest in the legislative proceedings of Tuesday was the elections. The result of the election for superintendent of the penitentiary has already been published ; but some of the details will prove more or less interesting. It seems that up to the hour of voting, the final result was still a matter of uncertainty. On the first ballot Senator Love and Representative Epps voted for Neal. Representatives McDill and McDow voted for Griffith. Representative Epps changed his vote from Neal to Griffith. Representative Johnson was absent and did not vote. The candidates for full term member of the state board of control, were J. B. Douthit, the present incumheut, and T. Chis. Robinson, of Pickens | county. All the York delegation except Mr. Johnson, voted for Douthit. Robinson was elected, 78 to 76. The candidates for state librariau were Miss Nannie Montgomery and Mrs. LeConte. The result was 96 to i 53 in favor of Miss Montgomery. All the members of-tbe York delegation, ! except Mr. Johnson, voted for Miss Montgomery. < The candidates for secretary of the i stale board of control to fill out the < unexpired term of M. R Cooper, elect- 1 ed secretary of state, were J. O. A. Moore, of Darlington ; M. W. Simmons, of Colleton; B. B. H. Boykin, of Camden. Boykin received 81 votes, < Simmons 60, and Moore 5. Boykin belongs to that class formerly desigua- < ted as Conservatives. I Representative McDill introduced i in the house, and Senator Love intro- I duced in the senate, a concurrent reso- I lution to permit the introduction df a < bill to amend the charter of the Farm- ! ers' Mutual Insurance company of I York county. i A protracted discussion of the lien i law was commenced on last Monday i and resumed on Wednesday. At first i there was a make-believe as if the i law was to be repealed ; but when the final vote came, the enacting clause of the bill was struck out. Messrs. Marion and Means, of Chester, both spoke i for repeal, and voted that way. 1 Messrs. McDow, McDill and Epps voted with the majority. The argu- I ments were about the same as hereto- 1 fore used. The advocates of the law i claimed that it was the ouly source of i credit to the poor man, etc., and the i opponents held that its repeal would i be of especial benefit to the poor, i whiles aud blacks alike. The Lee county representatives were I unseated for the reason that it was found that the county had not been regularly constituted. By resolution i it was agreed, however, that these i representatives should have pay for the time they had served. i There was an unfavorable report on >. Mr. Blease's resolution to submit to < the people the question of amending i the constitution so as to provide for < biennial sessions of the general assembly, instead of annual sessions as I now. i The most important debate of Wednesday was on Mr. Pattou's bill to i redistrict the state as to congressional I representation. The idea of the bill is | to avoid the dividing of couuties and i to secure, as far as possible, compact I districts. Under the proposed new < arrangement, four congressmen now I serving will be throwu in two districts. < There will be Finley and Stanyarne I Wilson in the Catawba district, Stokes 1 and Elliott in the Edisto district, j Some of the advocates of the bill i charged that its opponents came prin- i cipally from representatives living iu i the four districts thus affected. The I News and Courier says : "Mr. McDovv, i of York, iu behalf of York county, opposed the bill. His people did uot ! want the proposed changes. If a man is uot known iu his district it is his fault. York does uot want any chaug- I es. No good could come of the bill i except to give some one a chance to < get in who is now out of congress." i On the question of striking out the ' euacting clause of the bill, the house voted, yes, 44; nays, 55. Uoder the bill York is iu what is to be known as the "Catawba" district, composed of the couuties of York, Cherokee, Spartanburg, Chester, Uuion, Luueaster. The bill is not yet a law, and there is still a stroug probability that it will J not be. A irtnnnr Kn ntiiu Killc r\f ]n/>ul inlor. ! est introduced in the senate, was one by Senator Love to authorize, ratify ( and confirm the right and power of ( the Catawba Power company, when or- ( ganized, to construct a dam across the Catawba river at or near Iudia Hook shoals, ill York county. The India Hook shoals referred to are at the place known as Neely's ferry. Kepresentative McDill introduced, on Thursday, a bill to incorporate the Associate Reformed Orphanage at Hickory Grove. Representative MeDow introduced n bill to reduce the rate of interest that can be legally charged to 7 per cent. The senate debated Mr. Gruber's bill for the establishment of county courts for about two hours on Thursday. The bill is intended to become a law, applicable to any county in the state: but no county court can be es tablished except upon a petition of one-fifth of the qualified electors calliug for an election, iu which there must be a majority vote. The bill contains 24 sections and goes into considerable detail. Its most objectionable feature is that which provides for the election of judges by the general assembly instead of by the people of the counties interested. This would virtually meau that the respective county delegations would have the power to name the judges in their respective counties. The bill passed by a vote of 26 to 12. Mr. Love voted for it. As yet there has been do published intention as to how the proposition will probably fare in the house. - CHARGES AGAINST EA6AN. Conduct Unbecomiug au Officer and Prejudicial to Military Discipline.

GETTING MOKE SERIOUS. ? i Filipinos CongreHH Authorizes Aguinaldo I to Declare War. A Manila dispatch of January 21 briugs the following alarming state -r u- ? u_ LLICut UI II1C 511UUUUU Hi liic X islands: The Republican, the official organ of the Filipinos, auuounces that the congress at Malolas has adopted the Philippine constitution, passed a vote of confidence in * Aguinaldo, and empowered him to declare war on the Americans whenever he may deem it advisable. At a mass meeting of women at Cavite yesterday, the paper adds, it was enthusiastically resolved to petition Aguinaldo for permission to take men's places in defense of independ ence and to bear arms if necessary. Paterno has asked for, and it appears has been granted, the privilege of "takiug a prominent place in the line of battle against the Americans. An American sentry yesterday evening killed a captain of Filipino artil- 1 lery at the Tonto outpost. As a result the natives' press is intensely excited and denounces it as a "cowardly assassination." It is rumored that the Filipinos, at 1 o.'ill olirn . tlio ( UCII LJUAl uj^/UVingj niu f %. uiv Americans eight days in which to ac- . cede to their demaod for recognition, j ALGER SAYS HE IS INNOCENT. ; Secretary of War In Called Before the j Investigating Board. Secretary Alger was before the war investigating commission by invitation last Thursday, and was asked some pointed questions. "Was the head of any bureau guilty of failure to discharge bis duty during the continuance of the war?" asked Governor Beaver. "No, sir," replied Secretary Alger. "Did any report come to you of auy i irregularity, or of any fraudulent prac- { tices in the contracting for supplies ] furnished to any department?" "No, sir." "Did you, directly or indirectly, have | any interest in the selection of any f camps occupied by any of the troops?" i "No, sir; I never had any interest ( In any camp. I do not know that any j cue connected with me b?d any such interest." "Did you have any interest in any contract for material supplies during . ?u - on i/ue war r v "Not a ceut in aoy coutract," re- t plied the secretary, emphatically. ? "Does thut apply to transports pur- f chased ?" 1 "Yes, sir." ~ < SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS. I Tolbert .Advised to Leave. I At a mass meeting of citizens of * Abbeville last Wednesday, resolutions j were adopted calling upon R. R. Tol- 1 3ert, Jr., to leave the county. The 1 resolutions stated that Tolbert might remain as long as. was absolutely necessary to wind up his business; hut 1 that he must then clear out. The ? sense of the meeting was that this is a f white man's government and that < white men must maintain the same. c It is probable that unless Tolbert leaves t here will be more trouble. I William Banks Thompson. Chester L-iutern : Mr. W. B. Thompson died at bis home, at Blackslock, at 1 7 p. m., Saturday, January 21, 1899.

That fall he went to Arkansas, ' where he taught till the war began, . when he enlisted in the Fourth cavalry p af that state, which belonged to the r jommand of General Joe Wheeler.

THERE IS NO DOUBT \.s to the soundness of the proposition bat the fellow who succeeds on the farm vill be the one who appreciates the imjortance of saving labor by using such mplements as will reduce the cost of ireparing the soil and cultivating crops, lecause the ruling prices for farm prolucts will not warrant the extravagant nethods in vogue during the past 34 years. >ve ao not uanaie an implement mat u? ieen before the farmers of the United Itates less than 20 years, and, therefore, here can be no question as to their merit. iVe know that we have the BEST, and ire sure that after sufficient money has jeen wasted in experimenting with stuff epresented to be "just as good," that the dctims will wind up by getting right and niying our plows, narrows, mowers, akes, hinders, etc. The wise one will itart right.

It is anticipated that there will be an unusually large attendance of veterans from all the Southern states at this reunion. The people of Charleston realize the mag nitude or the undertaaing 10 entertain such a large body of veterans, and are exerting themselves to make the approaching meeting a decided success. The citizens of the state outside of Charleston, should feel a laudable-pride in cooperating with our fellow citizens of Charleston in making the approaching entertainment of the veterans creditable to the state. I have been requested bv the Executive committee, charged with arranging for the entertainment of tbe veterans, to extend a cordial invitation to the veterans and citizens of York county . to attend tbe approaching reunion, aud to state that contributions by tbe citizens, either in money or supplies, will be acceptable, and will be devoted to tbe maintenance of such veterans attending' said reunion as may need such assistance. A similar invitation has been extended to each county iu the state. It has been ascertained that such assistance was necessary at former reunions. The following persons have been selected and requested to invite and receive voluntary contributions, either in money or supplies, in tbe way of food, in their respective townships, to be devoted to the comfortable maintenance whilst in Charleston, of all the veterans whose limited circumstances may require such assistance: King's Mountain?W.

WE respectfully beg to say to the public, that we are now in charge of the YORK DRUG STORE, recently purchased from Dr. C. M. Kuykendal, and are located at the same old stand. During the past few weeks, we have completed the work of stock taking, added many new goods that were needed to make the stock complete, and are constantly receiving still further additions to our stock.v It is our purpose to give the most careful attention to the filling of prescriptions by physicians, and we will keep on hand, at bottom prices the very best drugs obtainable and all standard proprietary medicines.
