Dr. T. J Strait, of l.ancater.
Dr. T. J. Strait, of Laucnster,
was in Fort Mill yeBterday. We
were pleased to receive a call from
the genial doctor, with whom we
were well acquainted during his
May of six years in Washington ne
the representative ;f this district
in Congress. Dr. Strait, as was announced
in these columns more
than three months ago, is a candidate
for Congress this year. Two
years ago he was beaten for the
nomination by Mr. ^iley. Since

upon liim to again luako the race,
because lie lost, they claim, as a
result of his attack? upon Senator
McLnuriii, to whom ho itnpr ed
lack of Democracy. To say more
?h m that the doctor's charges were
true would bo superfluous. As to
his chances of succ<?9, Dr. Strait
says lie is very hopeful.

Prof. Boyd to Leave Fort mil.
A great many of our people will
learn with regret that Prof. .T. A.
Boyd has decided to decline the
position of principal of the Fort
Mill public school, to which he
' was recrntly elected by the board
! of trustees fo^kthe ensuing scholastic
year. He jds that his interests
call him elsew.^rtJ* Hence the partnership
which was formed on Sut'
urday with Prof. A. R. Banks,
; with whom he will jointly conduct
tho Presbyterian High school at
Rock Hill. Professor Boyd has resided
iu Fort Mill continuously
for fifteen years, having come to
this place from (iustonia in l.SSOto
ussist Profe.-sor Banks in tho Fort
Mill Academy, which was a preparatory
school without a peer in
tlie upper part of the State. After
teaching two years with Professor
; Banks, who moved to Rock Hill
! .. ft,... lvl.? 1 f--1
| (iuei mi u^iccuuic aim BUUUUMll 111
co-operation, the Hchool was made
a public one and Professor lioyd
has since been principal thereof,
| except for a few months, during
which time he taught in Gold Hill.
Numerous patrons of the school reregret
the loss of Professor lioyd,
but it is hoped that our school w.ll
be supplied with a principal who
will manifest as much interest in
I its w< Ifare and prove as able ati educator
as the outgoing principal.
, Brofessor Boyd and family will
i move to Hock Hill during the
mouth of August.
...
Mr. Hull's Candidacy Opubtful.
Editor J. ?T. Hull, of the Hock
Hill Herald, was in Yorkville Wed!
nesday on business. The reporter
for The Enquirer had a talk with
him about his possible candidacy
for the House of Hepn sentatives.
From what Mr. Hull said it is clear
that he is reluctant to enter politics.
He does not want to ^o to
the Legislature for several reasons.
Anions other things, having considerable
responsibility as u bread
winner, he thinks lie ? .-in ill ntrorcl
the loss of time from his business.
Being somewhat overmodest, he is
' I
. inclined also to underrate his abilj
ity to make an acceptable representative.
He is unwilling, however,
to positively decline being a
candidato. Considerable pressure
is being brought to bear on him
and his friends may succeed in
forcing him into the race. It
is hoped that it will be so. While
on account of his disposition and
training Mr.Hull won Id stand a poor
show of election ia a wire-pulling
iS
I
contest for this position, there is
no doubt about the fact that for
those very reasons he will, if elected,
make a most capital reprcsonta
ive. Jt has been a lon;jj time
wtince the people of York ouciuty
have lied the opportunity to vote
for a better equipped man fur such
a position.
_ ?
Oiil you ever notice the differ
ence in the expression of the eyes
iti animals of the same species?
Take a horse that Las been overworked
and starved and its eyes
present an entirely dilTcrent expression
from the well-fed and wellgroomed
1 torso. The environment
mnkes nil the difference. So with
men. Look at the face of men
and women who have been overworked,
under-fed, and ill-housed
and compare their ex predion with
those who have been well-kept. All
tho difference in the world. The
stupid, sullen face < f the working
slave tells how hard for them to
comprehend the condition of slavery
they are under. The master
class know this, and feel secure
in their places of mastership. This
is the most pitiful phase of mastership.
This is the most pitiful
phrase of the pre.-ent slavery?
that people have it within their
own power to be free uml rich, ami
enn not comprehend the fuel. They
vote and the vote puts their masters
in power; they try to think,
but can only think what their masters
have permitted them to rend,
controlling* them in (heir prejudices;
they create more, making; their
masters richer and richer, but they
grow relatively poorer; they feel
they would like tilings different,
but fight such of their number as
have gotten the true method, because
the musters have set thorn on
thoir friends by appealing to false
issues. Jiut there is a great difference
between now and twenty years
ago. Millions are now interested
when then there were none. It is
only a matter of time now until we
shall awaken enough of the dulleyed
to change the conditions of
life of the laboring people. The
world should and will be for the
workers.? Exchange.
