ing the option. As might have been expected, Mr. Carroll was Dot inclined to talk. He did say, however, that he was acting as the representative of other parties who are fully able to do all that the option suggests; but as to what the parties he represents propose to do with the stock in the event they should buy it, be did not care to say. A gentleman who has heard some gossip in connection with the matter; but who does not vouch for anything as reliable, and who is not willing for the use of his name, suggests a?the possible meaning of the option matter something like this.

There was a pretty general be- i lief, however, that it included the Car- [ olina and North-Western, and that i the Southern railroad is behind the whole scheme. There is talk of mak- 1 ing the Carolina and North-Western a j standard guage road and extending it , to Bristol, Tenn., up to the Virginia f line, across the mountains.

Wouldn't it be grand, i for instance, to have a through line of I standard gauge from the Virginia line 1 to Charleston, by way of York county ?

Intendant Carroll's listof subscribers to the proposition to furnish complimentary tickets to Confederate veterans who desire to go to the Charleston re-UDion stands as published in The Enquirer of Wednesday. The Enquirer has not been able to get the names of the veterans who are to be sent by the different subscribers ; but will try to publish the same either io the next issue, or the issue following. 1 The reporter has heard of several sub- ' scribers in the different townships who propose to compliment veterans; but ] the information is not sufficiently au- j thentic to warrant the publication of a ' list. < Here Are Some Complimentarlee.

Interesting Account of the CloslDg Exercises Last Week. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. Fort Mill, May 3.?The first annual exhibition of Gold Hill academy commenced on the night of the 26th ol April, and closed on the night of "the 28th. The weather was favorable and the patrons of the school bad built a large and comfortable arbor and covered it over with canvas. On Wednesday night was the con4 * *--- ~ ~ ? r\ tnfm o/liulc ItJSl uy Luc pnuioiy auu iuvwiuvu.uw departments for a silver medal. Quite a crowd was present. Tbe small children acquitted themselves very creditably. Everyone was agreeably surprised. Louis Bailes, a son of Mr. James Bailes, won tbe medal. On Thursday night, the debate given by tbe society took place. Again we were greeted with a large crowd. The crowd was so large that the debate was held under the arbor. The question, "Resolved, that we Live in a Free Country," was very well discussed and a decision was rendered in favor of the affirmative. Prior to tbe establishment of the society, eight months ago, no one of those who engaged in the debate had ever bad any experience whatever in debating. This debate goes to prove what can be done with tbe right kind of boys when the right kind of efforts are put forth. Friday was commencement day proper. By 9.30 a. m., quite a crowd bad assembled to hear the boys declaim and to hear the girls recite. Exercises begau about 10 o'clock with a song by the school, alter which tbe Rev. R. A. Yougue offered prayer. Then began the contests for two gold medals. One to be given to the boy that delivered the best declamation ; one to the girl that recited the best. These exercises were interspersed all the way through with music furnished by tbe ~ .? tt... /-. 1 ^ UrOlQ Hill V/Uruci/ uauu, nuivu buuvu very much indeed to the enjoyment of the day. These exercises coutinued Lill 1 o'clock, when it was announced that there was dinner on the grounds, and in order to dispose of it the crowd would be dismissed for one hour. Everybody was invited to dinner. Special care was taken to see that no one went without dinner. [ would like to giye the good women }f Gold Hill the praise that is due them for their elaborate preparations ; but as the crowd amply showed their appreciation at the bounteous tables, I will let that suffice for the present. After dinner and a rest of one hour, the crowd again assembled at the riugng of the bell. The contest soon endid, there being only six on the program after dinner. The committee, which consisted of County Superintendent Carroll, Rev. Yongue and Mr. W. H. Stewart, then retired to render their decision. They seemed to delay juite awhile. While they were out trying to decide, the band entertained .he crowd by furnishing music. The committee reported back to the teachers that it was impossible for hem to decide and use only two med ils. Finally, they decided by awardng the declaimer's medal to Mr. Moore Doltharp, and the reciter's medal to Miss Hassie Smith. Then came the literary address, which was delivered by Mr. W. H. Stewart. He began by saying that he was utterly surprised aud was not prepared to do justice to the occasion. He was surprised to find such a school n Gold Hill neighborhood. If the writer of this article was not closely J ?.!.L .U-. 1 1 umnl/l sonneuieu vviiu me muuui, uc nuuiu Lell you some thiDgs Mr. Stewart said about the teachers and the work done by them. The address was splendid. It was enjoyed by all present and very highly complimented. To fully appreciate bis addresses we must hear them delivered in that happy style which is peculiarly Mr. Stewart's own. [ would give a synopsis of the address hut space forbids. The silver medal and the declaimer's medal were then delivered by the Rev. Mr. Yongue with aome very appropriate remarks. Next, Superiuteudent Carroll made some very pleasing remarks and flattering compliments about the school and its future and delivered the reciter's medal. Mr. W. H. Stewart theu rose and said that iu order to show bis appreciation of the work beiug done by this school, and in order to eucourage the boys and girls, he would give a gold medal to the boy that delivered the best declamation next commencement. It is- needless to say that he was very heartily cheered by the audience, especially by the students. Then Mr. Carroll suid that he wished to give a gold medal to the girl that delivered the best recitation. It is again needless to say that the girls gave him a very hearty applause, as did the audience. Thon fho fiov Mr Vnnoriip whn is a man that believes in keeping in the front ranks, and when he sees a good thing push it along, arose and said he also would give a gold medal to the best reciter next commencement. He was also very heartily applauded. Mr. W. H. Crook then rose and said he did not believe in leaving out the little fellows. So he gave a medal to the best speaker amoug the small ones. Next Mr. Wm. Boyd, who was of the same opinion as Mr. Crook, said he would also give a silver medal to one of the small ones who was the most successful in delivering his or her speech next commencement. These men were also beattily cheered, especially by the little children, whose eyes seemed to sparkle with joy. Long may such public benefactors live. They have the best wishes of the entire school. I take it for granted that tins speuKs wen euougn ior me wont doue by the reciters aud declaimers. After the closing song and benedictiou, the audience was dismissed to meet again that night to listen to the debate between the boys and girls as to which had done the more to promote civilization and happiness?woman or man. The girls claiming that woman had done more, and the boys claiming that man had done more. The largest crowd of the commencement was present ou this night, liolh girls and boys acquitted themselves with credit to themselves and the school. After a lively discussion, the committee rendered tneir decision in favor of the affirmative. Jay. STILL TALKING. Admiral Kautz Tells More About the Suraoan Aflalr. Frederick Kautz, of Georgetown, 0., received a letter from Admiral Kautz, his brother, iu which he recounts some . of his recent experiences already told in cable reports from Samoa. By way ' of information for his brother, the admiral notes that the Berlin treaty provided that in case of the death of the king of Samoa, the chief justice should select his successor. This the chief justice did last August when the king , died, selecting his son Malieloa. A * - - T 1 ( revolution was starieu jhuubij x, uv says. The letter continues as follows : "The English and American consuls had to make a compromise and accept a provisional government to stop the war, with Mataafa and 13 chiefs in charge." Admiral Kautz then adds : "When I came 1 said to the American and Eoglish consuls: 'You did this because you were too weak to do anything else. Now that we are stronger, let ua undo the wrong,' and we did." "J bad no idea of doing anything but holding an investigation on what had been done here since January 1; but the German consul general was arrogant and unreasonable, so that I was obliged to do something or suffer disgrace, even in my own estimation. "I, therefore, concluded to do what ought to be done, and refer the matter to the government later on." The admiral says he followed instructions literally and has no fears of consequences. A Spartanburg Murder Mystery. A Greenville special of Thursday to the Atlanta Journal is as follows: News reached here last night from Glendale, in Spartanburg county, of a murder mystery involving a pretty girl, a disappointed suitor, the father of the girl aud the death of a prospective groom. The people involved are prominent in that section and a sensa lion was produced wnen ine reveianoos came to light during the funeral services of the prospective groom. On last Sunday afternoon Louis McAbee, Tom Smith and Roland Black left their homes to go to Pacolet river, about one mile below Clifton No. 2, to go in bathing, and they had not been gone loug until the news began to spread that young Black had been drowned, that they had gone in a very rough place where the water was very swift and he got strangled and sauk. His body laid in the bottom of the river 24 hours before it was recovered. Many people from both Glendale and Clifton visited the place and assisted in searching for the body; but they did uot hud it until 24 hours after the tragedy was reported. Yesterday morning preparations were being made for the burial without holding an inquest. When it began to be talked that foul pay was suspected it was decided to hold an inquest. Coroner Bishop was notified and he held the inquest. The post mortem examination was made by Dr. W. A. Smith, of Glendale, and by Dr. Chalk, of Clifton, and to the great surprise of everybody young Black's neck was found to be broken and great signs of finger prints were found on his throat and other places on bis bead and shoulder showing very plainly that there had been a considerable struggle on his part. After the witnesses had all been examined and the examination by the doctors, the jury's verdict was ' murder," and the result was that McAbee and Smith were hustled off to jail at once. Rowland Black, deceased, was to have been married to Mc Abee's daughter on the 10th of this month, and it is said that McAbee was opposed to the match, and it is generally believed that this was a prearranged plot to get Black out of the way, so the talk goes?in favor of Smith, who it i9said, wanted to marry the girl himself. Depew Thinks It Is All Settled. In an interview a few days ago, Chauncey M. Depew said he favored the continuance of Mark Hanna as chairman of the Republican national committee. Speaking of the campaign of 1900, Senator Depew said the Republican party practically would have no opposition. "Bryan has read the New York Democrats out of the party, and they will not again get together," be said. "What will be the Republican issue in 1900?" was asked. "The platform will reassert everything the party has ever said, and the party will declare in favor of expansion." "How about trusts?" "Undoubtedly, the Republican party will adopt a plank concerning trusts, and I also think the Democrats will adopt a similar plauk. The Republicans will reaffirm their declaration for the gold standard, and there is no doubt the Democrats will again take up silver." Governor Returns to Columbia. Columbia Record. Wednesday : The Charleston traiu was about an hour late this morning. It brought back Governor Ellerbe from Summerville. He was accompanied by Mrs. Ellerbe, Dr. Babcock and the rest of the parly who left here originally with him. Through the kindness of Mr. L. A. Emerson, the governor traveled in a private car. He looks quite feeble and greatly emaciated, though he appears in good spirits. He stood the hot dusty trip comparatively well. He was driven to the mansion, and has decided to go to Marion Saturday, if conditions are favorable. The governor's closest friends are greatly concerned about him ; but be does not believe he is as sick as they think he is. fecial gjotircs. Shiloli Baptist Church.
