Scraps auil Jacts. ? Id an address to his soldiers who were embarking for the east, a few days ago, the Kaiser said : "If you close with the enemy remember this: Spare nobody; make no prisoners. Use your weapons so that for a thousand years hence no Chinaman will dare 1 look askance at any German. Open 1 the way for civilization once for all." ? The novel question, whether coun- 1 sel, in his argument to the jury, has a right to shed tears, has been decided by the supreme court of Tennessee in the case of Ferguson vs. Moon, the court holding that if the tears are available, it is noi only proper; but the duty of counsel to sbed them on the appropriate occasion. The weeping was done in a breach of promise case by the counsel for the plaintiff, and was objected to by the counsel for the defendant, on the ground that the tears unduly excited the passions and sympathies of the jury in favor of the plaintiff, and greatly prejudiced them against the defendant. ? Says a Patterson, New Jersey, dispatch of Thursday : The wife of Gaetano Bresci, the assassin of King Humbert, of Italy, is an American woman. She lives in West Hoboken, and knew nothing of the plot. She says her husband was mad. It is now asserted that the same anarchists who plotted the death of Humbert plotted i the assassination of President McKin- ; ley ; but the plot was revealed by one of , the conspirators. The president's life i was threatened last night in a meeting i of anarchists in Patterson called to celebrate the death of Humbert. A young woman of Patterson is being < watched by the police, who believe ( she knows all the ramifications of the Plot? The New Orleans Times-Democrat, of Wednesday, publishes an elaborate . report of the progress of the cotton J croD during July. The consensus of j opinion is that there is a distinct im- < provement in the outlook. It must, however, be remembered that this comparison is made with the worst start | ever known. A very large proportion ( of the original increase of acreage has , been abandoned, and it is quite possi- ' ble that no net increase has occurred. 1 Texas is probably the best situated of ] the states, while Mississippi is the < worst. The Atlantic states have suffered somewhat from drought; but the i situation in tnis quarter has recently 1 been relieved to some extent by liberal J showers. Louisiana, as a whole, has { a very good prospect. Arkansas is i also good. The reports from Alabama and Tennessee show a marked improvement. The situation may be summed ( up in the statement that the crop is very spotted and very late. At pres- ] ent there is no reasonable assurance of * anything more than a very moderate 1 yield. ? Says a San Francisco dispatch: < Steamship advices from Queensland, i received recently, give details of the ' terrible drought which has converted ( large tracts of the country on the border between North and South Greg. ory into a desert. W. H. Watson, ' manager of Curraville station, arrived I at Brisbane on July 2. He said that cattle were dying like flies all around his range. There is little water at ] any of the stations and to reach it the , cattle must wade through stilt, thus crottinor hncrtred. Around most of the y "ro water boles dead cattle are packed as < closely as tbey could get, the bodies i forming stepping stones for other cattle, j At one hole Watson saw 3,000 bogged J cattle ; at another hole, several miles in length, 1,000 cattle were bogged in ( one mile, and at another hole similar 1 scenes were witnessed. Stockmen ex- i pect to see thair herds wiped out un- < less rain comes soon. For two years j there has been practically no rain. The country is now so bare of vegetation that horses can't be used, as there is no feed. # ? Says an Indianapolis dispatch : \ Charles W. Bridges & Co., real estate J dealers of this city, have posted a < novel proposition of the sale of farm ' and city property, which is practically j a wager on Bryan's election. The firm } aunounced that a farm of 240 acres, a j cottage and five lots in this city, aud 25 lots in the gas belt towns have * been placed with them to be sold upon 1 the following conditions: The farm I property is priced at $5,000 for 240 ] acres, the gas belt town lots at $125 , each, the Iudianapolis lots at $200 ( each, and the cottage at $2,2UU. i ne , deeds to all the property are to be made out and deposited by the owners 1 with the cash paid for them. If Bryan < is elected the ownership of the property passes to the parties putting up the cash, and the money goes to the owners of the property. If McKinley is elec- i ted, both the deeds and the cash are 1 passed over to the person or persons i who put up the money. Thus the < property is sold at what is claimed to ] be its fair cash value if Bryan is elec- , ted, and given away if McKinley wins. The real estate firm is a responsible i one and declare that the offer is made 1 in absolute good faith. The owuers of ] the property are Bryan men, who are | willing to back their judgment with f their property. ? At last some detailed information , as to the condition of affairs in Pekin . is beginning to come through to the papers. Dr. Ernest Morrison, the ' Pekin correspondent of the London 1 Times, has sent bis paper a story of the situation under date of July 21. It seems that the first attack upon the , legation was made when the foreigners ( began firing upon the Taku forts. The imperial government issued an order to put all foreigners to death and the German ambassador was killed by Chi- 1 nese troops. The Boxers were officially urged to continue their work of murder. This situation continued until after the victory of the foreign troops over the Chinese at Tien Tsiu. Then the Chinese in Pekin asked the ( foreigners who were being besieged in | the British legation, for a truce. The i foreigners cousented on condition that the Chinese approach no nearer. All the legations except the British have been battered down. The United States marines were holding a vital position on the walls of Pekin, commanding the legation, and all the legationers were doing turns in stand ing guard. Altogether about 60 foreigners had been killed and 138 wounded. When the dispatch of Dr. Morrison was seut, all the legations were still in greatest fear of treachery. It was by this means that the Chinese were trying to overcome them. She ^orfeeiUe (Enquirer. SATURDAY, AUGUST^ 1900. This, from the Lancaster Ledger, is good logic: An alliance is an organization or compact between individuals, communities, 9tates or nations for the accomplishment Df a certain purpose or purposes. An "unholy alliance" must be one which ignores and sets aside all good and whose sole purpose is the accomplishment of any md everything base and wicked. The vice presidential candidacy of Charles J. Towne is not calculated to give any embarrassment to Mr. Bryan, [t is understood that Mr. Towne will withdraw, if Mr. Bryan so desires, and the situation will be managed by Mr. Bryan in such a manner as will, in his judgment, redound to the best interest Df the Democratic party. If we were as diffident as the beauty referred to, we would not boast of the following from the Greenville News, under the heading, "As Pretty is a Picture j" but, honestly, we are proud of it and want all of our readers to know it : The Yorkville Enquirer is the neatest newspaper that comes to this office ; the best dressed, as it were. It ioesn't devote all its thoughts to'dress aither, as some well-dressed beauties ar6 said to do; but is bright and sparkling in Its editorial and local columns. The subscription list that has been opened by The Enquirer for the removal of the remains of Colonel lames Williams, of Revolutionary fame,' from the Mintz farm to King's Mountain battleground, will be withirawn for the present. Some of the money has been paid into our bands. The balance, of course, will be forthcoming on demand, and the list will be turned over to the D. A. R. whenever ;hat organization intimates its desire ;o take charge. If Senator Tillman concedes the' ight of the goody goody people of ITork to have Prohibition if they vantit; but begs them, in the name )f fair play, not to put it on Edgefield, ivhy should he be so anxious about forcing the dispensary on Charleston ind Columbia? And if Bishop Duncan sacrificed the dignity of the church svhen he denounced Senator Tillman is a liar, what becomes of senatorial Jignity when Senator Tillman tells the people of York county that they are joody goody liars and hypocrites? Mr. A. C. Latimer in the United States senate ! That would be a great oke, wouldn't it ? Mr. Latimer is one )f the South Carolina congressmen, svho, when he first went to Washiog;ou as a "representative" of his people, iugmented his salary by using his privleges of the floor of the house to sell inlarged photographs, etc., to the nembers. Since then he has again Drought himself into some notoriety at aome by tryiDg to claim credit for the ivork of Dr. Stokes in securing the free lelivery of mail along star routes. Why Latimer is not big enough for the egislature, to say nothing of congress >r the United States senate. At the state re-union of Confederate veterans, at Greenwood, on Wednesday, Captain Iredell Jones offered i resolution for the appointment of a jommittee of three to memorialize the egislature for the creation of the ofice of commissioner of pensions. This jtrikes us as a good idea. Paying out, is the state does, $100,000 a year for -* - ? ? ai * k n fkA I pensions, lb IS very proper turn mo business should be under the direct ?upervision of some one who could be sxpected to give it sufficient intelligent attention. The present arrangement is as good as could be expected under the circumstances; but the other arrangement would be much better. The Nicaraguan government has seized the property of the Maritime Canal company. Under its concession the canal company was to complete its work within ten years. The ten years expired two years ago, and it is stated that the seizure has been made at the instance of another syndicate which proposes to carry operations to completion. The contract of the.Maritime Canal company with the Nicaraguan government, provides for an extension of time in the event of forceful inter-' ference, and the company claims that under conditions that have occurred, it is entitled to an extension. The company has appealed to the government of the United States to insure its rights in the matter. We do not like to hear Senator Tillman claiming that be has no interest in this campaign beyond a patriotic desire to advise the people what is best for them to do, for we do not Deneve anything of the kind. The senator contradicts himself when he refers to the dispensary as "bis baby." In this he is eminently correct. The dispensary is certainly hi3 baby, and as the result of a political career of 15 years, it is the ODly political baby that he can claim as his very own. The people of the state seem to be in grave doubt as to whether this baby ehould be allowed to live, and when the senator asks "What kind of a father would I be to stand by and watch another man spank my baby ?" he explains his entire interests in the matter. In view of the great promises the senator made in the past, and in view of bis charges of mediocrity against others, it is not difficult to understand his anxiety for the health of this, his only political child. Instead of being on the stump only as a disinterested patriot, his personal interests are greater than are those of all the balance of the people of the state combined. We shall think more of the senator if he will face issues squarely and tell the whole unadulterated truth. BREAD VS. STONE. Senator Tillman's speech in Yorkville last Saturday was quite entertaining upon the wholes but when the senator sought to explain the origin of the dispensary he appeared at a disadvantage. In connection with his own record as a Democrat, who believes in submission to the will of the majority, Col. Hoyt's charge as to the establishment of the dispensary in direct opposition to the expressed will of the people, was a hard shot. In bis */tempt to explain, it must be confessed that Senator Tillman floundered considerably. "Why," says the senator, "how could I establish the dispensary. I did not do it. The legislature did it." Then he went on to confess, with boasting pride: "I persuaded 'em." The senator is not to be blamed much for that. Theoretically the legislature did it; but it was only theoretically. He knows that, and had he not virtually admitted the fact, his first statement would have been cowardly. But his justification does not justify. !'I did it to keep you from making jackasses of yourselves." This is not good Democracy. It is not democracy at all. It is imperialism. The majority has a right to do what it pleases, and Senator Tillman nor no dther man has the right to prevent, for any purpose whatever. Colonel Hoyt, as chairman of the Democratic executive committee, may have thought the people were' making jackasses of themselves in electing Tillman; but whether he thought this or not, he certainly did not approve. However he did not seek to stand in the way of the expressed will of the people and that is why he surrendered the state chairmanship to the Reform party. I But back to Senator Tillman. "A majority of the people of the state j [ never voted for orobibition. There was ! only 35,000 against 25,000 with some thirty odd thousand not voting at all." [The figures are correct; but the conclusion is too thiD. Senator Tillman himself would not endorse it except as hookwiDking campaign talk. From no standpoint is it honest. Every man who participated in the election had the option of voting on prohibition if he chose, and those who neglected to vote acquiesced in leaving the question to the people who were interested. The majority for prohibition, therefore, is as binding as if every voter in the state had cast his ballot that way. So it cannot be claimed that the people of the state have ever endorsed the dispensary. They have not. The charge that Senator Tillman gave a stone when asked for bread is true; and it is also true that according to the record, Senator Tillman's loyalty to the will of the majority is not nearly as great as is that of Colonel Hoyt. Still a Pegging, yf Columbia Rrcord : Notwithstanding the numerous unsuccessful efforts to unite the farmers so that the cotton acreage might be reduced and prices thus increased, another attempt to form * -* f a i. 1. J. T a Kina or trust is to ue mnue. iur. j. C. Wilburn, president of the Cotton Growers' association, has issued a call to the farmers to organize in every county and send delegates to a state convention to be held sometime in Sep* tember. The object is to provide means whereby cotton can be held and marketed in such quantities as will keep the price up. The plan contemplates having the co-operation of banks so that warehouses may be established, and. loans made on cotton until it is finally marketed. This is the general outline of the plan ; but there are various minor details. Some Georgia farmers have formed such an association, and it is proposed to adopt their plan in this state.

BROOKER AND DERHAM. Derham and Brooker, the candidat for comptroller general, are placed i a peculiar disadvantage on the stun because of the short time limit allow< to each. And there is another difficulty und which they labor. At Yorkville, M Brooker got so mad that he looked if be could bite a nail iu two, and 1 threw charges and insinuations at M Derbam in a way to make it look as the latter was a scalawag, of the fir water. Mr. Derbam also answen with much beat, and offered to refu with affidavit any charges that M Brooker might be willing to specify. We doubt if either of the gentlem< are guilty of very serious offenses, they were guilty, then no doubt som body would institute a criminal pros cution. That, after all, is the best wi to settle such disputes. Unsubsta tiated charges are no good. ^WITHIN THE TOWN. ? In Spartanburg, the Hon. G. Wa said tbe first thing he 'ran upon Yorkville was a blind tiger. It is m to be doubted. When be made h speech here last Saturday the Hon. < Walt appeared to be about half drun Columbia State, Thursday: Charter was granted the King's Mou tain Centennial' association of Yorl ville, the corporators being Leslie 1 Witberspoon, Theodora Hughes M Neel, Wilhelmina McC.

CONGRESSMAN AND SOLICITOl The candidates for congressman ac solicitor were in Bock Hill on Wei nesday, pursuant to the executive con mittee arrangement. There were very few people presei from the country and a comparative] small crowd from the town of Hoc Hill. The people did not appear t be very much interested. Dr. Strait told of his alleged wronj two years ago. He claimed that I had denounced McLaurin as a R publican two years ago, knowing thi the people would resent his interfe ence; but now time has vindicated tt charge and he wants the people I send him back to congress. Mr. Finley said he had nothir whatever to do with the quarrel b tween Dr. Strait and the junior seni tor ; but be thought that if the doctt were seeking vindication, it would t well for him to take advantage of tfc opportunity that will be presente | two years hence and contest for M McLaurin's seat in the senate. Messrs. McDow and Hough bot made good speeches, and the chaii man read a letter from Mr. Henry i which the latter expressed his regrt at unavoidable absence on account of poisoned foot. The candidates for congress and S( licitor were atTirzah on Thursday an Friday, and according to the com mil tee programme, they will speak i Yorkville today, Saturday. THE TIRZAH ENCAMPMENT. In point of attendance, the Tirza encampment was not equal to that ( last year. There was also some dis appointment in the matter of speak ing. Secretary of Agriculture Wilso failed to fulfill his appointment o Thursday. Mr. W. N. Elder, wh presided, said he did not know why. Congressman A. C. Latimer an Railroad Commissioner J. C. Wilbor spoke during the morning, and Cot gressman Finley, Dr. Strait, T. I McDow, Esq., and W. C. Hough, Esq spoke in the afternoon. The speech of Congressman Latimt was probably the most sensational < * s-ii? ; tne aay, especially me muci pu ui i He devoted perhaps an hour to th discussion of imperialism and militt rism, and then addressed himself t Senator McLaurin, who was, of cours< absent, in the interest of Dr. Straii Mr. Latimer said he knew two year ago that Dr. Strait's charges of Re publicanism against McLaurin wer correct, and that he can furnish proo which, however, he claimed was un necessary for the reason that time ha already vindicated the doctor's pos tion. Mr. Latimer went on to sa that perhaps he would be a candidal two years from now for the Unite States senate against McLaurin. ] fc, was pretty clear that Mr. Latimer's tl harague was intended to be in the in- st terest of Dr. Strait as against Mr. Fin- m aQd cowd evidently sounder- u tt stood it, for it seemed more or less u; disgusted at ihe whole proceeding. ri y According to the programme, the w ,n Farmer's Institute, by members of the ai n- faculty of Clemson college, was to ei have been held yesterday ; but up to v the time when it was necessary for tl The Enquirer to go to press, it was it impracticable to get further informa- d es tion. ? tl af \/ ?: - - II ?P CONDITION OF THE BANK. ^ There has been a number of new A developments as to the condition of ci or the affairs of the Loan and Savings a; r. bank during the past few days, antf ti as while the prospect appears much bet- ft ae ter than a few days ago, still no defi- ? r. nite conclusion-has been arrived at. ft if At the request of the directors, Mr. u st W. J. Roddey, of Rock Hill, has ifcade v, id a proposition lookiug to the liquidation V te of indebtedness of the bank. As we g< r. understand the proposition, Mr. Rod- si dey will assume control of the busi $ in ness, and will pay over to the deposi- Ij If tors the amount coming to them as q e- rapidly as assets can be realized upon, tl e- He assumes no especial responsibili-, ft ty ty; but gives his services without h n- compensation with a view to the y eventual establishment of a bank in q Yorkville, if it should appear that u such a step will meet the approval of ? ^ the business interests here. vi *D While the directors are disposed to ft ?t accept this proposition as the best in 118 sight, there are certain creditors of the q bank who have a say so, and who a| k- would have certain conditions of the tl A trade modified before they are willing q D* to agree. The conflicting interests tl k* are now negotiating with a view to tl D. reaching a settlement. In the event tl c" of an agreement there will be an order h Q* of court that will allow the re-opening tl lt> of the bank forthwith. Otherwise, w there can be no change in the situa- a. ie tion until after August 29. cl It is not yet practicable to give an s< 10 idea as to the probable value of claims se against the bank. Ou their face the p a assets are ample to cover all liabilities. Il ^ There now seems to be good reason for n a' believing that depositors and other a r? nva/lif At*a oan Ko noi/1 fll 11 txri t.Hnil t". a a* exhausting the entire capital stock, o lg It is not probable, however, that li- tl quidation can be completed within less n _ than six months. tl tfu id \/~ * a j /\ ABOUT PEOPLE.

It bee gins to look now as if, notwithstand i- ing the desperate condition or tne DanK, w, o the Sutro mill may be still saved to m it Mr. McClain. tii t. Messrs. John R. Ashe and P. M. if s Grimes are at the bottom of a plan that SP ? has this end in view. The plan was e well underway when the last |issue of jjf f, The Enquirer went to press; but it A1 i- was not deemed advisable to at that th d time give details. The only objection i- is the possibility that it might not be ^ y accepted; but at this time the obstae cles in the way appear to be growing w] d less and less. ne Ct Mr. McClain owes the bank some- to ling over $20,000, a part of which is ;cured by a mortgage on the 8utro iill buildings, and a part of which is nsecured. Upon analysis of the sit- j ation, Mr. Ashe calculated that bankiptcy or receivership proceedings ould mean the stoppage of the mill nd the ultimate sacrifice of the proprtv at, Iprs than half nf ita actual alue, while with continued operation lere was a reasonable certainty of an icome sufficient to ultimately pay the ebt, and these conditions were made 3e basis of bis proposed plan of operons. In' brief, the proposition of Messrs. .she and Grimes is this: "Let all the reditors, secured and unsecured alike, gree to a stay of their'claims and jrn the property over to us. We'll save it in the name of McClain, and ill operate it without compensation >r ourselves, and turn over the profits ) the creditors in annual payments, / ' ith interest at the rate of 6 per cent. . Pe will expect to keep the property jven years, if so long a time be necesiry, receiving salaries not exceeding 1,200 for both of us, after four years, f it should develop that the mill canot be operated at a profit, will have ae right to hand it back to creditors >rthwith, and if there should develop * i the meantime any arrangement thereby the debt can be liquidated lore quickly, we shall not stand in the ray. We will furnish all the working apital that may be necessary, and we rill allow a committee of creditors ree access to the business at all times." Several of the large creditors north, rhose claims are amply secured, have ' " greed to this arrangement without . be least hesitation, and if there are o legal complications - in the way, lere is every reason to believe that le bank claim will also be included in le arrangement. There are some eavy local creditors who stilly have ^ ie matter under advisement, and who ill accept unless some new developtent should make it appear that their laim can be better secured through >me still more satisfactory plan. The advantages of the Ashe-Grimdo rnnnqil.inn fn nil rnneernfid in clear. % r it should develop that the mill can- ? ot earn profit under such manager lent, then the creditors will not be y worse off than they are now. If, the other hand, it should develop iat good profits can be earned, and either Mr. Ashe or Mr. Grimes has ie slightest doubt, it will be only short time before the entire debt j f the mill can be covered by good saleable papers, giving all the credi>rs all of their money in cash long ' afore the seven years named in the * roposition. pONUMENT TO THE GATAWBAS. ^ iThe Fort Mill correspondent of the olumbia State gives the following ac)unt of the unveiling of the Catawba , idian monument at that place last uesday : For the fourth time in the history of / ort Mill, the citizens have assembled ir the purpose of unveiling a monuient. The first to the Confederate oldier, on December 22d, 1891; the >cond, to the Women of the South, 3 the 21st day of May, 1895, when olonel J. P. Thomas, of Columbia, slivered a scholarly address; the lird, to the Faithful Slaves of the Dutb, unveiled on the 21st day of May, 195, when Colonel Polk Miller devered a characteristic address. Tony, iB the presence of a large crowd, >usisting of a number of Indians and any 'citizens of surrounding commu* ty, the monument to tbe Indians was sen for inspection. And Ben Harris, son of John Harris, one of tbe brayit members of tbe Twelfth South arolina, delivered tbe speech. This >eech was written by himself, and is ' specimen of what an Indian can do. The Indians wdre given a fine dinar and deported themselves well, he exercises opened with prayer at L o'clock. The introductory speech, ving a history and reason for the * onument, was delivered by the Rev. H. Thorn well. Ben Harris, son of Confederate veteran, then spoke. He id love was the greatest thing in the orld ; illustrated tbe love of God in eation and providence. While other lings fail love lasts until tbe millenurn.. Mdrtals attain much in life by ve. \ Paul says completion only be- . >nd where ear not hear nor eye not e. Love makes the Indian a friend the white man. The Catawbas :ver took part against him, but help1 him in life, in all wars?in the Revution ; -and they sent 20 braves to e Confederate war. < "Love prompted White and Spratt build a monument to the Confedere Indians. Much thank them good en. Indian love them. If white an had done Indian justice like White id Spratt good many of them would ive been educated and able to make >od speech. "He declined to speak at first, but anted to express thanks for monuent. Was glad Indian is now getig education. Fifty years from now, wanted, Catawba be make good eecb as white man.
