of R. "W. Shand, Esq.
? Capt. II. A. Gaillard requests the Fairfield
Herald to say that the ^''statement that he is
a candidate for Congress in the next election,
is entirely without foundation."
? The institution for the deaf, dumb and
blind, at Cedar Springs, Spartanburg county,
opened on "Wednesday of last week, with thirty
pupils.
? The Abbeville Medium says that- over a
bac#n counter at Greenwood, hangs this inscription:
"The Lord helps every man who
helps himself; but Lord help any man caught
helping himself here."
? The applications for membership in the
Edgefield Lodge of the Knights of Honor are
so numerous, that extra meetings are held
each week in order to initiate the persons who
are elected.
? Mr. Thomas Cauthen, Sr., who recently
died in Lancaster county at the age of ninetytwo
years, had nine children living at the time
of his death, 125 grand children, and in the
neighborhood of 300 great-grand children.
? Col. L. D. Cliilds, formerly President of
the Carolina National Bank, died in Columbia
on Monday afternoon last. "William Johnson,
owner of the Saluda cotton factory, and
Paul Joyner, formerly proprietor of the Na
tional Hotel and trial justice at Eastover, are
also reported to be at the point of death.
? Amongst the other attractions of the Abbeville
Fair, will be a pedestrian contest. The
knights of the tramp are to be negroes, who
are to walk for three hours around the* track;
the prize to be given to the one who goes the
greatest distance. The competitors can go as
they please, run, trot or walk. At least ten
must enter, or there will be no contest. Three
prizes will be awarded, ST2, $7 and So. Each
competitor will pay an entrance fee of 50 cents.
.?The Darlington News says that nearly all
the colored people in that county own horses
and cows, and many of them own land, and
that seme of the land-owners no longer depend
on liens, but work their lands with their own
money, and pay for their provisions in cash.
Their moral as well as their pecuniary condition
is improved. There is less stealing,
churches are numerous and well supported,
and newspapers and periodicals are liberally
patronized.
? The winter term of the United States Circuit
Court will commence its sitting in Columbia
on the fourth Monday in November.
Judges Bond and Bryan will preside. The
session in Columbia will probably occupy two
weeks, and will be confined to the transaction
of such civil and criminal business as will require
the attendance of a jury. After that
the court will adjourn to Charleston, when the
equity docket will be called and a*number of
important cases heard.
? The Camden Journal and the Marion Star,
favor General Gary as a candidate for Govern- j
or. The Orangeburg Times thinks that "with
Gary as a candidate, unless he has receded
from his past utterances, we cannot go before
the country with "equal political rights for all!
races and classes of men" inscribed on our
banner, and we want no candidate who is not
in thorough sympathy with this sentiment.
Unless we adhere strictly to the liberal views

him."
? The Spartanburg Express of last week
says: "The great mill-dam case of M. S. I
Lynn vs. J. S. R. Thomson et al., was tried
at Union last week. There were about seventy
witnesses, and it took five days and a half
in trial, but the jury were only out eleven minutes,
bringing in a verdict for the defendants.
Judge-Thompson held that the gradual filling
up of a stream gave no cause of action where
a dam had stood for over twenty years, which
reduced the points at issue to the question of
whether the dam in rebuilding had been raised
higher than the old dam."
? With the proceeds of a subscription, a
monument has been recently erected at Middle
Tyger Church, in Spartanburg county, to the
memory of Miss Frances Woodward, who was
murdered 011 the 5th of June last, by John J.
Moore, for which crime Moore was lynched in
the vicinity of the place where he had com ^-.ll-forl
+l,o Tlio nimmiiipnf; is of Ttulian
marble, and stands six feet high on a base of
native granite. The inscription is cut 011 a
raised shield facing the east, and is as follows?
"In memory of Frances Woodward, born June
29,1859. Died defending her virtue, June 5,
1879. She loved her church, and proved her
fidelity in the sacrifice of her life. Gently,
stranger, softly tread, for a Christian sleeps
lielow. She is not dead, but sleepeth in the '
arms of Jesus." An.address was delivered
011 the occasion of unveiling the monument, |
by Rev. A. C. Durham.
? The Greenville News of hist week says: j
"The Piedmont Manufacturing Company, 011 ;
Saturday, received telegraphic orders for six !
hundred bales of their goods, three hundred of
which are for export to China, and one hundred
bales more for the same point, which they
cannot fill. The value of the goods thus or-*
dered is alxiut $.'$<>,000. a pretty good sale for
one day. Last week the same company received
an order for 100,000 pounds of yarn :
from one party, the value of which is about
$17,000, and 011 Saturday another large order
was received from another party. The company
cannot begin to fill their orders. Their j
goods are popular, and are being sought after :
from all parts of the country. President Ham- j
mett deserves great credit for pushing the enterprise
to success. The water power at Piedmont
is suffcient to double the capacity of the
present factory. The company has a surplus ,
cash capital of $58,000 in bank, yvhich they
propose soon to invest in cotton. j

takes issue against the exodus movement?the

United States expecting to find greater benefits
than are now enjoyed by them."
? A meeting was held in Lincolnton on the
20th instant, for the purpose of promoting public
feeling in favor of the adoption of the
stock or fence law. Delegates were present
from the counties of Cleveland, Catawba, Gaston

Mecklenburg, by invitation, addressed the Convention
on the benefits of the fence law as ascertained
by practical experience in Mecklenburg.
His remarks were practical and intelligent,
and were listened to with much interest
by a large audience. Among the resolutions
adopted was one requesting the county
commissioners of the four counties "named, to
order an election on the 15th of January next,
to ascertain the will of voters on the question
of adopting the fence law. Wherever the law
is adopted, it is not to be enforced until January,
1881.
? The Charlotte Observer of Saturday says :

weeks ago, abducted the little thirteen year
old daughter of Mr. Isaac Snell from her
father's house in Providence township, was
arrested Thursday, at smith's Turnout, 011
the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad,
in South Carolina. It is shocking to relate
that he and the child were married last
Tuesday by a minister named Boyd, and that
when come up with, they were living as man
and wife. Johnston and the child were
brought to Pineville, in this county, yesterday,
and the former had a trial before Justice
J. T. Downs, who ordered him to jail in Charlotte,
the negro being unable to give bond for
his appearance. The child was taken charge
of by her father and carried home. She is
represented as weak minded, and thus more
susceptible to undue influence. Johnston is a
stout, black negrq, twenty-five years of age."

? Senator Vance, of North Carolina, says
that the general sentiment of North Carolina
and of the South, is unfavorable to the nomination
of Tilden for the Presidency. He thinks
that prior to the Ohio election, Thurman was
the favorite of the majority of the Southern
Democrats, but the defeat of the Democracy in
that State has taken Thurman out of the Presidential
race. Speaking of the chances of Senator
Bayard and Gen. Hancock for the Democratic
nomination, Senator Vance said : "Bayard's
opposition to the silver bill flattened
him. Hancock is our man. I am heartily
tired of soldiers, and would prefer to see a
civilian in the Executive chair, but we need a
Union soldier to offset this Grant boom. Hancock
was a better soldier than Grant, and I
favor him because lie has shown himself a
friend of constitutional government and civil
liberty in the South."

pluck of the Democratic party as follows : "We
are never more impressed with the wonderful
vitality and rugged power of the Democratic
party than in the days of its defeat. The surprise
is not in the election of Tuesday hwt that
the Democrats, burdened as they were, suffered
defeat, but that they were able to exhibit
such strength and resolution. Surely, there
never was more unkiiulness shown a party in
preparing it for combat. The issues were awful,
yet under the circumstances?such that it
ought to be a matter of surprise that there is
a Democratic vote in each Ohio township?the
old party comes out grim as an army of veterans,
and fights to the bitter end, in the spirit
of the soldiers of Russia, of whom it is said it
is not sufficient to kill them ; they must be
knocked down after they are dead. Now, we
are able to rejoice that this surprising host was
discomfitted?beaten a few per cent, in a prodigous
vote, and we know that under the gloom
of their defeat there may be disappointment
and resentment, but never discouragement.
On the next occasion they will turn out again
with full ranks."

Accidental Death of John Koyle.
The Charlotte Observer of the 21st instant
gives the following account of the accidental
shooting, on Saturday previous, of Mr.
John Hoyle, of Lincolnton, mention of which
was made in our issue of last week:
Last Saturday morning, a party of young
men of Lincolnton, among them Johnny
Hoyle, a youth of about fifteen years, went
out bird-hunting from that place, and about a
inile from the town there befell young Hoyle
an accident which in a. few moments resulted
fatally. Separated a little from his companions,
he stood'upon the eastern end of the
railroad trestle a mile west of the town, leaning
upon his gun, his right arm over the muzzle,
and the breech of the piece resting upon
a sill. Suddenly the gun, upon which young
Hoyle was manifestly bearing considerable
weight, slipped, and falling upon the hammer
exploded the cap, which caused the discharge
of the gun. The charge passed through the
youth's right wrist and the elbow, and entering
his body passed through his heart and
ranging upward came out near the shoulder.
The others of the party, having their attention
attracted by the discharge of the gun, ran
to the aid of the young man, but he expired
almost instantly. The body was removed from
the track barely in time for the passage of
the western-bound train, and was conveyed as
quickly as possible to Lincolnton. The funeral
took place Sunday.
(lie Gaston Couuty Distilleries.
On the subject of the alleged illicit transactions
of a number of the distilleries in Gaston
county, which reports created considerable
comment in this section, the Charlotte Observer
of last Thursday has the following:
Some days since it was telegraphed over
the country, through the associated press, that
gross revenue frauds had been unearthed in
Gaston county, these having been practiced
through collusion between the distillers and
store-keepers. To investigate these there has
been a gathering of United States internal
revenue officers at Gastonia, the investigations
having began nearly a week ago. Collector
Mott, of this district, was present, with
Special Agent Chapman, Chief Clerk Coit,
Deputy Collector Jewett, Special Agent Blocker,
Collector Bray ton, of the district of South
Carolina, and two or three of his deputies,
and these reinforced by United States Commissioner
Pittman, of this city, who was present
to issue warrants and hear the cases.
The investigations ended yesterday and the
charges vanished into very thin air. Commissioner
Pittman returned home yesterday
afternoon. During his sittings he issued eleven
or twelve warrants and had the parties before
him. Of these all but four were discharged*,
and of those who were bound over
three waived examination. The parties held
are: A. B. Rhyne, A. M. Rhine, B. T. Morris
and J. W. Gamble, the last named in two
cases. There was no evidence whatever against
any of these going to show fraud. Irregularities
were shown and for these they were held
to answer, but there was nothing against any
of them reHecting in any sense upon their integrity.
There was not a scintilla of evidence
going to show collusion, and the prosecution
fell to the ground. Only one warrant was
executed against a storekeeper?S. M. Morris,
at Gamble's distillery?and the case against
him was dismissed when the evidence was
taken.
All persons interested are to be congratulated
upon the result. It is a vindication not
only of the distillers themselves, but at the
same time of Collector Mott, Special Agent
Chapman, and their subbordinates?deputy
collectors, store-keepers and gangers.
The Fever Declared Ended.
A Memphis dispatch of Saturday says a
heavy frost fell 011 Friday night, and a thin
coating of ice formed on pools of water in the
suburbs. A thermometer placed by the signal
service officer on the grounds as a test, marked
321 degrees at 4 o'clock Saturday morning.
The steamer Hard Cash, from St. Louis, arrived
Saturday morning at 9 o'clock, being
the first boat to land at the wharf since July
24th. The weather is clear and cool.
D. T. Potter, President of the Howard Association,
telegraphed to the governor of Tennessee
as follows:
The epidemic is declared ended this day.
the State or the Union who shall or who shall
not be its candidate for Governor or for President.
? The canvass of the vote for members of
the General Assembly of Ohio, cast October
14, shows that the Republicans elected 69, and
the Democrats 45 members of the House ; and
that the Republicans elected 22, and the Democrats
15 members of the Senate. The Republican
majority on joint ballot is 31.
-Ex-Governor Walker, late of Virginia, addressed
a large number of his neighbors at Binghampton,
New York, on the 20th instant. In
the course of his remarks, he told them that
the Republican party was responsible for the
solid South, and if the Republicans would disband
there would be no more solid South.
? The Republicans are now boasting that they
will have control of both houses of Congress
in 1881 with a "strong man" in the White
House, who will "put down the South." This
is a cheering prospect for the business of the

and that the rest of the ticket will have a

the Democrats have given up all hope of |
electing Robinson, and will devote themselves j
mainly to endeavoring to elect Mr. Potter and j
the rest of their ticket.
? The Springfield (Mass.) Republican, (independent)
favors Bayard for President and'
says: "Against any but the best Republican
candidate, Massachusetts is a Bayard State.
The Worcester Democrats, representing an I
overwhelming majority of the Democratic |
voters of this Commonwealth, show hard sense j

The camps will be broken up on Monday

of the people of Memphis, for the material assistance
rendered and for the further aid prom- .
ised if necessary. AV e have sufficient funds
to carry us through, and will not be compelled
to draw on you for any.
The following is the official announcement,
signed by J. Chandle r, Secretary of the Board
of Health, declaring the epidemic ended:
Owing to the fall in the temperature with- I
in the past three days, there having been two
good frosts with a prospect of a continuation
of cool weather, the board of health hereby declares
the epidemic of 1879 at an end, and announces
that there is but little danger to be
apprehended from yellow fever by absentees
or other pesons coming into the city, provided
the instructions published, September 28th,
have been complied with in regard to ventilation
of houses, l>edding, clothing, etc. It
takes this occasion to advise the people on
theirceturn to avoid infected places. There
are a few cases of yellow fever yet in the city,
and a few cases may yet deVelope, but by ordinary
prudence there is no danger of the disease
now spreading from that source.
The total number of case reported for last
week was 31?whites 21; colored 10. Total
number of cases to Saturday night, 1,511.
Deaths from yellow fever during the week,

LETTER PROM ROCK HILL.
Rock Hill, S. C., October 27, 1879.
"We, too, suffered from the long dry spell,
but we didn't send up the popular howl, localise
the dust was deep, flue, blinding and in-*
tolerable. Nor did we complain that the water
was getting scarce. We took it easy, and
looked philosophically upon a matter which we
could not help. The rain did come, and such
a rain!?turning into a liquid state everything
upon which it fell. It was mud, not dust, we
waded through. The waters of the Catawba
were more swollen?her majestic bosom heaved
more fiercely?than at any time before during
the year. Her waters left the banks and overflowed
the lowlands, submerging the corn crop
grown in the bottoms, to the imminent danger
and damage of many hundred bushels of
corn. When the tired boatman lay down to
rest on Saturday night?having, as he supposed,
secured his boat and fiat, he awoke to
find them swept away by the flood. The rain
was evidently much heavier above than in this
vicinity, which caused the river to rise so suddenly
and rapidly.
During the past week, our town presented
the usual life in its business circles. Cotton
rolled in from all quarters, commanding prices
equal to any other of the surrounding markets.
The gentlemen who went from this place to
attend the re-union at Salisbury have returned,
and give glowing descriptions of the success
of the entertainment.
Last Saturday was an unusually lively day
in our town. The change in the weather and
the sudden rise in the price of cotton caused
a large gathering of country people in town,
and our merchants were kept busily employed
| the entire day. As the day was drawing to a
close, we observed several?white and colored?who
seemed pious under the influence of
the O be Joyful. The juice of the corn got
the best of some few, but no disturbance occurred.
"VVe have observed that our police
force is quite effic ient.
On Saturday night last, Prof. Willoughby
Reade gave an entertainment in Roddy Hall.
Owing to the short notice given, but few people
were present. He read several pieces?humorous
and solemn ; prose and poetry. The
poem depicting the eventful life and sad death
of Mary, Queen of Scotland, was most beautifully
rendered. He seems to be able to
throw his very soul into the spirit 01 tne writer
as lie reads. His intonation, punctuation
and elocution, are the finest we have ever
heard. He displays most excellent taste in
his selections. His readings are amusing and
instructive. He has the pure English pronunciation.
He hoi>es to visit our town again in
about two weeks, when we hope he will be accorded
a hearty welcome and a full house of
appreciative hearers.
The Rock Hill Silver Comet Band is now
ready to contend for the silver comet offered
as a premium by the Chester Fair. We are
proud to say that they have far excelled in

Several persons, all colored, were arraigned
before Trrnl Justice Fewell during the past
week, charged with stealing cotton frdm the
fields; some for taking cotton from baskets
left in the fields; others for picking it in the
day and night time, and appropriating it to
their own use. The latter were bound over to
appear at the Cour; of Sessions to answer indictment
under Section 9, chapter 129 of the
General Statutes.

COOL WEATHER. |
Since Sunday morning, the wfeather has :
been quite cool. We have had two or three ,
heavy frosts, and thin ice was formed Saturday
morning.
NEAT PENMANSHIP.
We have reeeived a letter from Master Wal- |
ter L. Wallis, of Pineville, N4 C., who is only
11 years of age, which, as a composition, and
especially as a specimen of neat penmanship,
would be quite creditable to many an older
person.
CHERRY BLOOMS.
The novel sight, at this season, of a cherry
tree in full bloom, could have been seen in
Mrs. Ingold's garden during the past week.
The mild autnmn weather worked its natural
effect on vegetation, though the recent frosts
have nipped it short.
PERSONAL.
We were pleased to meet J. A. Deal, Esq.,
member elect to the Legislature, in town
Monday.

upon the Court: W. B. Wilson, Jr.,

THE B1J8INE88 OUTLOOK.
Yorkville, with her sister towns, has enjoyed,
the present season, an unusual degree
of prosperity. Trade in all lines of goods has
been satisfactory, and the indications are that
this desirable condition of things will be
maintained throughout the season. Cotton
has been coming in freely the past week, the
buyers here offering inducements equal to
those of the surrounding markets.

THE COURT.

session, has been occupied with sessions business?the
docket, .however, containing no
cases of special importance. The sessions

the Court on the findings of the referee,

CHESTER FAIR.
Quite a number of our people are attending
the Chester Fair this week. The attendance
from Yorkville would have been much larger,
but for Court, which detained many, who
otherwise would have been glad ?to visit our
sister town on the interesting occasion. A
Black's Station, S. C., Oct. 27, 1879.
We are now having cool weather, after a
very pleasant and remarkably warm Eall season.
The farmers have availed themselves of
the fine weather for their farm work, and
have most of their cotton ready for market.
Last week the price of the staple in this market
averaged 10jJ cents, and opened this morning
at the same figure.
Dr. John G. Black, with an association of
others of this section, has just received a pureblooded
Jersey bull and heifer, recently purchased
by them. The animals are of fawn color,
and are fine stock.
The house of Simons & Bro., of Gaffney
City, has established a branch business at this
place. Their capital and enterprise will prove
quite an addition to our town, as they are
thorough and energetic business men.
A three-year old child of Mrs. Caroline Williams',
near here, was badly burned last Saturday,
by its clothes catching on fire, while in
the house alone. Its life is despaired of.
Rev. A. L. Stough, assisted by Revs. Thos.
Dixon, and Yarborough, has just closed a

were able and instructive and highly appreciated
by the community generally.

CONSTITUTION.
Whereas, the late war between the States of
the American Union is the most momentous
occurrence that has transpired on this continent
since the Declaration of Independence,
and its adverse issue to the Confederate States
has entailed great loss and suffering upon the
people, in general, of those States, and especially
upon a large number of individuals who
were active participators in that struggle; and
threatens the loss of many facts due to history,
to posterity, and to ourselves: and .
Whereas, the best instincts of a self-respecting
and progressive people prompt to a grateful
recognition and enduring memory of all
the deeds of patriotic heroism, constancy and
self-sacrifice exhibited in its history: therefore,

States Army, resident in the County

among the different counties in the State according
to the population. These names were
written 011 slips of pai>er, which were folded

PROF. READE.
The people of Yorkville have a treat in i
3tore for them on Tuesday night next, when j
Prof. Willoughby Reade will give an enter- ;
tainment in reading and recitations. Our ex- ,
changes speak in the highest terms of Prof. <
Reade's powers. The Charlotte Observer, of
Sunday, speaks of his entertainment in that i
city 011 the previous Friday night as follows : '
A greater treat than that given Friday J
night by Prof. Willoughby Reade, has never j
lieen offered the public in Charlotte. His
reading, or rather recitation, took place in the
chapel of the Military Institute, and but one
opinion was expressed by the audience?that ;
jf hearty and entire approval. Frequent outbursts
of laughter attested his powers of elocution
and humor, in such pieces as a "Litcrary
Night Mare," "Hunting a Mouse," and '
1 scene from Pickwick Papers, "Courtship
Extraordinary." His impersonation of "Carl,
;he Martyr," and his rendition of the ghost ^
tcene in Hamlet, could scarcely have been *
lurpassed by Booth himself; as voice, gesture,
md facial expression constitute him an actor 1
is well as elocutionist. ?
As will be seen by reference to advertise- j
nent, a portion of the proceeds of the enter- 1
;ainment will be appropriated for the benefit of a
he Yorkville Cemetery Association. Let him
lave a full house.
