Scraps ami Jacts. ? A majority of the Mississippi press, says a New Orleans dispatch, have formed a combine against candidates for office and have decided to mention the name of no candidate for state office unless he advertises. The schedule is placed low, only $1 an advertisement, but as there are 300 newspapers in the state, each candidate will have .o pay $300 advertising. In view of the fact that ail nominations for state offices must be made by primary election, a candidate is practically compelled to have his candidacy known in each county. The Mississippi papers, realizing this, have determined to profit by it. to do no booming free and to recognize no candidates who do not advertise. ? According to the press reports from Maine during Bryan's visit to that state the ex-Democratic candidate talked about free coinage of silver, 16 to 1, and the gold standard. Senator Carmack, who has returned from his trip through New England with Mr. Bryan, denied the truth of the report. "I heard every speech which Mr. Bryan delivered in Maine," said Mr. Carmack, yesterday, "and he did not mention 16 to 1 at any time. He did not advocate the free coinage of silver nor did he denounce the gold standard. The whole story is a lie." Mr. Carmack says that Bryan's speeches in Maine were simply repetitions of the address which he delivered at Nantasket Beach, near Boston. ? Arthur S. Green, a young artist residing in Connecticut, has taken upon himself the rather arduous task of redeeming the Holy Land from the Mohammedans and restoring it to the care of the Christians. Mr. Green purposes buying it from the sultan. Mr. Green says: "My idea is first to raise enough money by international subscription, founding an organization for the purpose. After the necessary amount is raised we would, through the organization, petition a suitable Christian power or powers to guarantee the independence, neutrality and integrity of the Holy Land, creating a republic by and for Christians, in honor of Christ." There is one good reason why the sultan should be willing to sell the Holy Land. He needs the money. ? Washington correspondence New Orleans Globe-Democrat: Workmen employed in tearing out the interior of the White House unearthed under the basement a portion of a human skeleton. The discovery created consternation among the Negro laborers, who are or a superstitious nature. They were kept at work with difficulty. Ef forts have been made to keep the discovery a secret, pending a more careful investigation of the bones exhumed from such an unlooked-for but historical resting place. The workmen have been cautioned not to discuss the subject, and the most rigid regulations have been adopted to prevent persons not actually employed in the mechanical work from entering the building. Even clerks and mesengers belonging to the executive force are excluded under the existing order. [Subsequent stories have been to the effect that the bones referred to were probably those of a calf or some other animal]. ? A vestibule train on the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy railroad, was held up and robbed by a gang of six masked men near Savanna, 111., last Wednesday. The robbery occurred at a point near the Mississippi river. After arranging to ditch the train, the robbers gave the danger signal and the engineer stopped. Then the rob-1 bers undertook to uncouple the express] car. Express Messenger Bye fired several shots and succeeded in wounding one of the robbers. When Bye had emptied his pistol he got out of the way. The robbers took the car up the road some distance and blew open the safe with dynamite. How much money they got is not definitely known, but it is stated from $2,000 to $20,000. Afterward the body of a dead robber was found on the side of the road. He had been shot in the leg and head. One theory is that he was killed by Messenger Bye, another that he was killed by his companions through mistake, and still another that having been wounded so he could not get away, his companions killed him to keep him from talking. It is easy to hide in the Mississippi bottoms and the robbers have not been captured. ? New York Sun, Wednesday: A dividend of $5 a share was declared by the directors of the Standard Oil company yesterday, payable on September 15. This is the smallest dividend declared for any quarter since August, 1899, when the same amount was declared. It compared with a $10 a share declared on May 6 last, and of $20 a share declared in February, making total dividends thus far this year of $35 a share, with another quarter day to come. The dividends of previous years have been: 1901, $48; 1900, $48; 1899. $38: 1898, $30: 1897, $33: 1896, $31; 1S91 to 1895, inclusive $12 a year. Standard Oil shares in the Broad street curb market broke in price yesterday. Shortly after the announcement of the dividend ten shares were sold at $682, a decline of $5. Subsequently these sales were made: Twenty-five shares at $680; 10 shares at $679: 1 at $671; 3 at $670. and 5 at $673. For a time the best bid was $660, but $670 was bid at the close. Last April on reports of a decreased May dividend the stock sold as low as $615. Since then it has been as high as $699.

Harry Tracy, the notorious outlaw who. with David Mevill, escaped from the Oregon penitentiary at Salem on June 9, after killing three guards, has at last been run to earth. He was surrounded in a wheat field at Fellowe's station on the Washington Central railroad at Spokane. Washington, last Tuesday night, and shot himself in the head to avoid falling alive into the hands of the posse. Since his escape from the penitentiary, Tracy has covered some 400 miles in Washington and Oregon. Time and again he has held up farmers and others making them provide food and ammunition, and at different times has killed and wounded quite a number of pursuers. On last Sunday he appeared at the ranch of Farmer L. B. Eddy, mad< himself known, and while keeping: or guard against treachery, helped th< farmer and workmen to make arrange ments for housing tiie wheat croj which was then being harvested. Tra^ cy allowed one of the workmen t< leave after enjoining him not to saj anything about his, Tracy's presence until Wednesday. The workman weni straight after a posse. When the poss< arrived, Tracy was helping Farmei Eddy hitch a horse. He managed t< get into the barn and secure his weap^ ons, fired two shots and run. Neithei shot took effect. The posse sent a fusilade after him and brought him dowr with bullets through his legs. He triec to stop the bleeding by binding hi! legs with straps; but was unsuccessful and finally coming to the conclusior that he was done for blew his brain: out. The members to the posse whc ran him to earth will get a large re^ ward for their work. flic ^Mu'illr (Sritquirrr. YORKVILLE, S. C.t SATURDAY, AUGUST 9, 1902. The Columbia Record thinks thai corporation farming would tend towari socialism. The Record is entirely correct; but the tendency would be n< greater than is the case with any other corporation. All of them are practical exponents of that very theory. . The Columbia State insists, that notwithstanding the telegram of the president of the Edgefield Monument association, the charge against Colonel J H. Tillman relating to the misappropriation of trust funds belonging t< that association is true. The State exDlains that the complaint was firsi made by the former president of th< association, who gave the facts to th< editor of The State in person, and thai Colonel Tillman did not make restitution until after the matter was ventilated in The State. The State calls upon Colonel Tillman to produce a telegram of vindication from the formei president of the Monument association A story was published last week tc the effect that John W. Gates, the Chicago speculator, who has made manj millions out of railroads and stee stocks, and who recently took a princely fortune out of the future corn market. had agreed to furnish the capita! required by a Tennessee inventor tc complete a flying machine. The sto[ ry has been commented upon variously j One theory had it that Mr. Gates was backing this chimerical proposition ir the hope of increasing his millions Another gave him credit for a desire tc use some of his millions in the advancement of science, and still others tooh other views. It now develops that the whole thing was a joke, and that although Gates encouraged the inventor to expect help, he has no intention of doing anything. The Spartanburg Journal, of Thursday. has the following comment on the paragraph that appeared in The Enquirer of Wednesday on the crop ani political situations in Spartanburg county: We cannot agree with some of the statements made by this correspondent John Gary Evans will certainly poll a majority of the county's vote in the senatorial primary. Mr. Henderson, ir our opinion, not only does not rani second, but will come very near ranking last. He is the least known here of any of the candidates and has less to attract Spartanburg's support thar any other. We will cheerfully risl our judgment on the prediction thai Heyward will receive more votes ir this county than either Talbert or Tillman. As to the condition of the crops we do not know their condition in Yorl county, but if they are better there than in Spartanburg county, we car congratulate our neighbors on theii prospective prosperity. The Senatorial Race. Many of the newspapers are indulg ing in speculation as to the probable result of the senatorial primary, ant although we have seen analyses of the subject that indicate much familiarity of the situation on the part of the writers, we are free to say that we are unable to arrive at a reasonably sat isfactory conclusion as to who is go ing to be the next United States sena tor or even as to who is going to be ii the second race. So far as Messrs. Hemphill, Hender son, Elliott and Johnstone are con cerned, it looks like a mere matter of i tossup for the choice as to which wil probably lead. Select any man of this quartette as having a probable advantage of the others, and it is easy to cit< reasons why any one of the other thre< should account himself as standinj just as good a show to come out ahead In the case of Messrs. Latimer ant Evans this is not true. Both of thes< candidates have a better purchase or pluralities than have any of their com petitors. If we assume that factionalism is buried, and all the candidates are representing the same thing and ir beautiful harmony, then Evans anc Latimer are undoubtedly in the lead Put them on a parity with the others in other respects, it must be admittei that both are in closer touch with h< political life of the state generally, foi it has not been a great while slnc< Evans was governor, and Latimer has all along been high up in the esteen of the dominant element. On the othei hand, assume, as many do, that the olc line of demarkation that was drawn ir 1890 is still a living thing, and the advantage of Messrs. Evans and Latimer remains stronger than ever. The strength of their side has been as twothirds to one-third, and with one-thirc1 divided by four aguinst two-thirds divided by two. it does not look as il Messrs. Hemphill, Henderson. Elliott or Johnstone will count for a great dea after the first primary. If the second race should be betweer Evans and Latimer, it is rather dif i flcult to predict which will win out. 1 Prom the way Latimer has been i fought by all the candidates, it is evi dent that they regard him as possessed > of considerable strength, and if he gets - in the second primary that fact will, of ) itself, prove that they were not misr taken. Still Evans has the advantage , of quite a general organization, and t will put up a strong fight for final suc; cess. r Should Messrs. HemRhill, Johnstone, ) Elliott or Henderson get in the second . race with either Latimer or Evans, r that fact will argue that factional lines . have really been wiped out for all time, i and it will promise well for the further i sijpppss of whichever of these four 3 should be in the second race, for the , especial reason that heretofore the i principal strength of Messrs. Evans 3 and Latimer has been lying in that > factionalism to which they will be able . to look no longer. But we will see what we will see. , There never has been a fight in South Carolina just like this one, and no man is able to predict the outcome by any other method than plain, downright guessing. It is quite probable however, that when the votes have been counted, we will all be able to tell Just exactly how it all happened and many may have to admit that they have been surprised. STATE CAMPAIGN NOTES. What the Candidates For Office Are Saying: and Doing:. Mr. J. J. Hemphill hit the keynote to the present campaign at Anderson . last Saturday when he said that there were no issues, and the only point of difference was that there was an inside 1 and an outside: that all were on the outside and trying to get on the inside. * Mr. John Gary Evans attacked Mr. A. C. Latimer on the free pass question again at Anderson last Tuesday, and Mr. Latimer claimed that the antifree pass law does not apply outside of the state. The Gaffney Ledger has published a charge against Col. Jim Tillman to the ? effect that Col. Jim had failed to ac count for certain funds entrusted to > him for the building of a monument at Edgefield. At Bennettsville, Tuesday, 1 Col. Jim read a telegram from Mrs. i Victoria Evans, president of the Edgei field monument association, acknowlt edging that he had not only paid over $50 collected for the fund but had added " his personal check for $25, making $75 ? to his credit in all. SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS. RIcliInml'N Flmt Dale. > Columbia State, Thursday: Yester day the first bale of new cotton from ' Richland county was put on the Col lumbia market. It was offered for sale by Mr. A. G. Clarkson, of Eastover, and was bought by Mr. T. H. WannamakI er, who is now a member of the New > Orleans Cotton Exchange.* The cot ton was of good grade, and 9 cents a , pound was paid for it. From this time > on the lower portion of the county 'will i be getting in new cotton every few . days. The farmers of lower Richland > expect to make a very good crop this year. ' Tieketn For the Primary. ! Columbia State, Thursday: The tickets for use for the state and senatorial elections are now being sent to the various county chairmen in accordance with the estimates furnished by them of the number needed. There have been half a million tickets printed and this should be a sufficient num' ber to meet all possible demands. Those who are thoroughly familiar with ' South Carolina election matters predict that the total number of votes in ' the first primary will not be over 92,l 000, and say it may not reach that figi ure. Richland has been furnished with J 10,000 tickets: Charleston and Green" ville take 20,000 each and Spartanburg i takes 25,000. Anderson asked for 16,000 * and Orangeburg 14,000. i [ Fatal Storm In Union. Union special of August 6. to Columbia State: About 4.30 o'clock this after, noon a severe storm of wind passed t over this city. At the Monarch cotton j mills a school house in course of erecr tlon was blown down. Some carpenters were at work on the roof and at the approach of the storm started to leave the building. Just as they reached the ground the storm struck the hodfe and it collapsed, burying them " under the timbers. J. Mack Coin was instantly killed. Thomas Long had his ' hip broken. Charles Vaughan's shouldr . er was aisiucaieu ana Jesse wnn, c?i" ored, was slightly bruised. The loss 2 on the building is covered by insurance. As far as can be learned no other damage was done. , Cotton Mill Iimnrancc. For sometime there has been talk of . the organization among the cotton mill . men of the state of a mutual insurance t company, the purpose being to provide 1 insurance among the companies s against any loss that may be incurred. . In this state a 60 per cent, valuation on ; the cotton mill property amounts to ? very nearly eighteen millions of dol, lars, and the property is divided among twenty-eight counties. It is thus seen 1 that a properly managed company, ? with the different mills as members, t will necessarily save money to each. . The application for a charter for the . company was made last Wednesday to 3 the secretary of state, being signed by i the leading men of the principal mills. 1 In thi? it is stated that the business office will be in Greenville and the name of the association is to be "The 1 Southern Manufacturers' Mutual In; surance Company of South Carolina." r The objects of the association shall be ; to enable its members to insure each 3 other against loss by fire, lightning, i cyclones, tornadoes, wind, storms or r casualties, to enforce any contract I which may be by them entered into, i by which those entering therein shall > be assessed specifically for such pur. pose, and for payment of losses which ? occur to its members. To effect such . objects it shall have power to make, [ assess and collect, upon and from each . member, such sums of money as may f be necessary to pay losses by any memt ber of this association and the assess1 ment and collection of such sums of money shall be regulated by the eonstii tution and bylaws of the association, . which it shall have full power to make.'

The county board of commissioners held their regular monthly meeting in the office of the supervisor on last Wednesday and attended to various routine business that had accumulated since the previous meeting. Mr. W. Harry Wylie, of Rock Hill, who has for a long time been trying tc secure the establishment of a desirable public road from Rock Hill to the works of the Catawba Power company, and to the Catawba river bridge, appeared before the board again in behall of the project and explained fully whal he wanted and why he should have it, The board was already familiar with the subject but had not previously seen proper to take definite action. After listening to Mr. Wylie's presentation of the case, Commissioner Wilkerson introduced, and the board adopted, a resolution that will" probably settle the whole matter. According to this resolution, the route will leave Oakland avenue in. Rock Hill, at the W. H, Stewart corner, and follow the present road to the state farm, to a point where the two surveys come close together. The two surveys will be connected in the mosc practicable manner possible, after which the road will leave what is known as the lower route and join the Miller survey, proceeding to Dutchman creek at Sunnyside, and forking there. The left hand fork will lead to the bridge, back of the Lineberger house, and intersect with the Neely's Ferry road near the Hutchinson house. The right hand fork is to continue to the bridge by the most practicable route. The commissioners stipulated that the parties interested iaJ prompting the highway described abfve must secure the rights of way. 5 I , / \ AT BARNHTT'S MOUNTAIN. The opening meeting of the county campaign next Monday will be at Barnett's Mountain, instead of Forest Hill. At least that is the understanding ot The Enquirer with regard to the matter. The publication last -Wednesday was made on the strength ?of a verbal ressage brought to this-office by Mr. John W. Millet, rural free 'delivery carrier No. 6. from parties in Bethel. Before the paper got in that neighborhood Wednesday morning. Mr. W. A. Youngblood, executive committeeman at Forest Hill, called The Enquirer up and ordered the Insertion ol a notice that there would be a basket picnic at Forest Hill on the occasion of the meeting next Monday. He was advised as to the contemplated arrangement on Barnett's Mountain, and after consultation with Mr. Perry Feraorroo/1 fViot o 11Vinil p-h thp tllTI ber had been cut off the mountain, the meeting will be held there. To guard against probable confusion, the reporter called the attention ol Mr. J. S. Brice, chairman of the Democratic executive committee, to the matter. Mr. Brice said in effect: "Because Bethel was not represented at the meeting at which the campaign schedule was arranged, and because there was no suggestion to the contrary, Forest Hill was agreed upon. That is the spot officially designated by the executive committee, and the point that will be named in the official advertisement for the Bethel meeting: but it the local executive committeeman, and the people art agreed upon any other place in the township, it makes nc difference to me where the meeting is held." Mr. Perry Ferguson said, Thursday afternoon, that nothing had been done in the way of erecting a stand at Forest Hill, that the Bethel people would have hardly made an announcement for a picnic at Barnett's Mountain, unless they intended to make such preparations as might be necessary, and that, therefore, the meeting should be appointed for that place. There has been more or less confusion about this same matter on at least one previous occasion, and under the circumstances, it would seem that the public and the candidates will save trouble next Monday by going direct to Barnett's Mountain. WITHIN THE TOWN. ? Trade continues to hold up about as wen as is usual ai mis seusuu ui mc year. ? Present indications point to the probability that Yorkville will be an unusually good cotton market this ran. ? The southbound Carolina and North-Western passenger train was [ unusually late Thursday night, failing to arrive in YorkviUe until after 11 [o'clock. ? The ginning plant that is being erected by the Victor Cotton Oil company will be sufficient to take care of about all the cotton that is grown within a half dozen miles of Yorkville. ? Colonel W. G. Stephenson, superintendent of the K. M. M. A., thinks he has line prospects for opening the next session with a full school. The people of Yorkvllle are unanimous In the hope that he will not be disappointed. , ? Rev. Dr. H. W. Bays, presiding elder of the Rock Hill district, will > preach in the Methodist church tomorrow morning and night, and after the . night service will preside over the regt ular quarterly conference. ? Mr. H. H. Beard has the reputation ( of being the second oldest express j s agent in point of service In the state. He has had charge of the Yorkvllle of1 flee for twenty-nine years. Mr. C. H. , Brennecke, of Chester, has probably held his agency longer than any other 1 South Carolina agent. ? The Tavora Cotton mill company i has reduced the price of electric lights ' over the meter from 15 cents per thousand watts to 10 cents per thousand , watts. The flat rate continues at 50 cents per month for 10 candle-power : lights; 75 cents for 24 candle-power, and . $1.00 for 32 candle-power. These rates i are said to be lower than those prevailing in any of the surrounding towns. ? Burglars broke Into the Southern - depot last Tuesday night by prizing the shutter off a window with a crow, bar, and stole therefrom eight quarter ; sacks of flour. Policemen Love and t Mendenhall have since been investigating the matter. They arrested a Nef;ro ! named Sol Hoi stein, who has been loaf. ing around Yorkvllle without visible i means of support for some weeks, on suspicion, and while the fellow told v conflicting stories as to his whereabouts, without ever telling where he i was on the^ night in question, they i could not get any evidence against him. ; The case is stnl receiving conslderai tion.

We ^ ! want to know if we are not entitled to , a magistrate or Justice of the peace at this new precinct. If so, we want it .1 1 and need it as badly as we do. We . have already last year petitioned the ; legislature, and right here, please Just . let me ask, is that the right or proper ' thing to do? Can't you appoint a man I ' recommended for the office or allow us to run such a man at our box or boxes . . at this term of election. He, I know, / , would put up with a small salary. My name was given more than once ' and I know I would.

The card reads thus: 1 "Go to Squire Bailes to get married. 1 "The greatest of all ambitious phll- ^ anthropists and professional nuptialists. 1 "Marriage Fees?to those that can't c pay more, $1.00; common fee, $2.00; ( secret service, $5.00: advertising price, 1 $3.00: rich man's price, $10.00.

Don't be married at home; it is no enjoyment. More people get married in South Carolina to its population than any other state in the Union. "It is nothing unusual to see a half 1 dozen couples get married there any Sunday. Sunday is his biggest day ; and he is therefore always at home. 1 He marries nearly 200 couples every 1 year.

' | CARROLL-LINDSAY. ! i The marriage of Mr. Mason L. Cari roll and Miss Blanche Lindsay, last : Wednesday evening, was a social event of unusual interest in Yorkville, and ! was witnessed by a large concourse [ of relatives and friends and well wishers of these popular young people, i Including a considerable representation i from the country immediately surrounding Yorkville, from different . - parts of the county and from a numf ber of distant points. As a tribute from numerous friends, young ladies and gentlemen, the church ; was elaborately decorated for the occasion. Tastefully arranged potted , plants, ferns and palms, freshed up the sombre old pulpit, chrysanthemums and bride roses signaled their messages of beauty from every point of vantage, and tne wedding pen suspenaed irom a a great arch of Ivy that spanned the s ' main aisle, told eloquently of the sig- ^ nificance of the whole pretty occasion. ^ mvery detail of the affair had been i carefully and correctly arranged be- j forehand. The arriving well-wishers 9 were seated by Messrs. E. B. Lowry, T. J. Ashe, Hamlet Carroll and Tscharner <3 deGraffenreid, acting as ushers. At c the appointed hour, the strains of the r wedding march swelled from the or- i: gan under the unexcelled touch of Miss Sallie Adickes. Then the bride appear- J ed, leaning on the arm of her sister, Miss Rose Lindsay, acting as maid of C honor, and the two passed slowly up r the aisle, where they were joined by ^ the groom with his brother, Mr. C. W. \ Carroll, acting as best man. A mo- o ment later Rev. W. G. Neville com- f menced the marriage ceremony. It e was conducted in beautiful and impressive style with the use of the ring, ti "Oh! Promise Me," was rendered by d Miss Adickes. and the bride and groom y kneeled, while Rev. Mr. Neville offered E 'a touching invocation for divine bless\ ng. Immediately after the ceremony he bridal party proceeded down the ilsle to the carriages waiting outside. Then, white ribbons, which had been ised to close the entrances to the pews vere removed, and spectators followed The costume of the bride consisted or vhite organdie, trimmed with ruchings >f chiffon and organdie. The skirt was mtirely covered with tucks and ruchngs of the same material. Her Jewels vere heirlooms and the her orange jlossoms the same that had been worn >y her mother.

She carried a mnniiet of white lilies and ferns. The groom, his best man and the ush;rs all wore full evening dress. Mr. and Mrs. Carroll left shortly af:er the ceremony in a carriage for Gas:onia, N. C., and taking the train :here proceeded to Waynesville, N. C. They will spend a short while in Waynesville, and upon their return to STorkville will be at home to their .'riends in their pretty little residence >n King's Mountain street. The bride is the eldest daughter of Captain and Mrs. J. R. Lindsay, of iforkvllle, and is a young lady of high iccompllshments and deservedly popllar among scores of friends and acluaintances.

For sometime the town authorities at Clover have realized that the town prison, which had done service for a number of years, was not to be depended on to hold prisoners placed in it until wanted, the present council decided recently that they would have one constructed that could be depended upon to fulfill Its office. As a result of the decision, a new guardhouse is being built. There will be two cells, each about 10 feet long by 5 feet wide, and 10 feet high. The walls are about 20 inches thick and are built of granite laid in cement. The structure stands on a solid granite floor, provided by nature, and it is apparent that when the prison is finished and prisoners placed in it, Mayor Neil and his successors in office will know where to send to get them when wanted. It is the purpose of the council to erect a wooden building over the prison proper, containing a room to be used as a council chamber, and on the ground floor will be a room in which tools and other town property will be stored. Broad River School Election*. Elections were held on Tuesday on the question of repealing the special school levies in school districts Nos. 9 and 40. Formerly the two districts were together; but not long ago the friends of the special tax secured a division in the fear that the No. 9 portion would vote against the tax. In No. 9 district 26 votes were cast, of these 17 were for the tax and only 9 against. The total vote in No. 40 was 53, of which 26 were for the tax and 27 against it. The special levy was lost, tnerefore, by a single vote. Some of the friends of the tax now think they made a mistake by dividing the district, as the result shows that the portion they feared went their way. On j the other hand'it is argued that if there had been no division No. 9 would have , voted differently because some of the voters were under the mistaken impression that No. 40, (Hickory Grove)
