The Southern States furnished by far the greater part of the volunteers. The Mormons furnished 585 recruits. ? The tributaries of Chesapeake Bay alone contribute $100,000 worth of meat to the frog market every year. They are worth about 50 cents a dozen, and men make good wages hunting them with shotguns. Sportsmen also seek for them occasionally, using small rifles. ? The corn crop of 1884 was estimated at 1,617,225,100 bushels for the United States. This immense quantity of corn was disposed of as follows: for feed of meat producing animals, 780,000,000 bushels; for human food 150,000,000 bushels; for export, seed, spirits and surplus 167,225,100 bushels. ?

Every saloon in Pes Moines, Iowa, has been closed and no liquor is obtainable under any pretext. News from all parts of the State snows that the new prohibition law will be obeyed unless possibly at some river points; The saloon-keepers are either removing to other States or embarking in some other business. ? The Pennsylvania State Convention of United American Mechanics, in session at Reading, on the 17th instant, agreed to a recommendation that colored men, American born, be admitted to membership. The matter now goes to the national boay. and, if approved, will become the law of the order. The colored men have heretofore been excluded ? A San Antonio dispatch says that parties from the western part of Texas confirm the report that the sheep and cattle industry there is threatened with annihilation by the drought. Sheep men with flocks are arriving daily at Eagle Pass seeking ingress into Mexico. The water holes and streams on the American side of the Rio Grande have dried up. ? Before the Editorial Association of Pennsylvania, assembled atGettysburg, Mr. Hensell, of the Lancaster Intelligencer, stated a startling truth vrhen ho said that "the great Presidential struggle now pending will be decided by the votes of men born since the memorable events of July, 1863, that took Slace here." The war is becoming ancient istorv. and the babes of 1863 are the men of 1884^ who control the destinies of the country. ?The business failures throughout the country occurring in the week ending last Friday, as reported to R. G. Dun & Co., number for the United States 192 and for Canada 23, or a total of 215, against 198 the previous week?an increase of 17 failures. The casualties show an increase in the Western and Middle States, and several important assignments have taken place in New York city; in the remaing sections of the country the number are below the average. ? A long, striped snake crawled into a basement saloon at Yankton, the other day, and was in the middle of the room before anybody saw it. The inmates stood aghast and speechless for several seconds, when one of them, pointing his finger at the object, managed to articulate: "Do any of the rest of you see that?" They responded in chorus: "Yes, we all do." "It's a great relief to me to know it." said the first, "for I thought I was going to have another attack of malaria." "Me, too," responded the chorus, and then they fell on the snake with billiard cues and killed it. ? Immediately following the announcement of the nomination of Ex-Senator Hendricks at Chicago, statements were sent from the city by special correspondents in which the wife of the ex-Senator was alleged to have spoken disrespectfully of Gov. Cleveland, and to have said that Mr. Hendricks was placed on the ticket to give it additional strength. Gov. Hendricks, when spoken to on the subject, stated emphatically, that the alleged language was not used by Mrs. Hendricks, and added that there was no truth whatever in that portion of the 1 VMiMnAitfmrv +A I AO O VCknOtl SJJtXliU uispuit'lics put pui mig IV uv ? 1VJ/VU tion of her words. ? Says the New Orleans Times-Democrat: The total number of negroes in the United States is estimated at 6,000,000, or one-ninth of the entire population. Only seven Northern States have higher colored population than 20.000, and of these the highest is in Pennsylvania, with 65,000, The last census indicated the fact that the white population doubles itself in every twenty-live years, while the negro does the same in every twenty years. From these figures a writer in the North American Review, making allowance for foreign and Northern immigra-i tion, concludes that in 100 years the negroes in every Southern State will be doubie the number of whites. ? Cholera is a filth disease. Let private and public cleanliness prevail. The Baltimore American opportunely says: "The work of cleaning and purifying streets, alleyways, yards, Ac., should be constant and unremitting. New York has already begun. Vats and tanks for disinfectants have been erected, a fumigation depot has been established, inspectors and a disinfecting corps have begun their labors. Every day for eight weeks five thousand gallons of disinfectants will be distributed. Similar action thoughout the country will do much to banish all cause for serious alarm, and will prevent the cholera from becoming epidemic should it appear in the United States." ? The New York Sun published forty years ago a prescription that became generally known as "The Sun Cholera Mixture." Of this the Journal of Commerce says: "Our contemporary never lent its name to a better article. We have seen it in constant use for nearly two score years, and found it to be the best remedy for looseness of the bowels ever yet devised. It is to be commended for several reasons. It is not to be mixed with liquor, and therefore will not be used as an alcoholic beverage." Here it is. Cut it out and use it in the family: Take equal parts tincture opium, red pepper, rhubarb, peppermint and camphor, and mix them for use. In case of diarrhoea take a dose of ten to twenty drops in three or four teaspoonfuls of water. ? A St. Louis dispatch of the 17th says: Advices from the little town of Redding, Ringgold county, Iowa, say that great excitement prevailed there on last Wednesday over the finding of the dead body of a man in the office of Dr. Eli Quigley. Fire was discovered in the doctor's office Wednesday morning, and the partially burned body of a dead man was found on the cot which was in a blaze. At first it was thought to be that of Dr. Quigley but an examination proved it to be the headless trunk of the partly decomposed body of a man named Lynch, who died and was buried early in June. Further investigation revealed the fact that Dr. Quigley had disappeared and that he had a life insurance policy of $10,000 in one company and one of $0,000 in another. Both were taken out within the year and the conclusion was reached by the people that Lynch's grave was robbed, his body placed in Dr. Quigley's office and the premises fired in furtherance of the scheme to swindle the insurance companies. ? A TTiirffnrd. Conn., dispatch says: On the lordly Connecticut River, near its mouth, lies the romantic village of East Haddam, where the wife of Ferdinand Ward, the Napoleon of fraudulent financiers, will in a few days arrive at the Champion House to pass the remainder of the summer, while he remains in jail. Her j horses are already there, and she will relieve her loneliness by taking frequent drives through the picturesque river towns about East Haddam. The Champion House is the finest caravensary on the river, and was bought and fitted up by Ward about six years ago at the intercession of his wife, who wanted this place which was about to be razed, because it was named after her ancestors?the Champions?who once lived there. It cost him $75,000, and is a big rural palace, which every year is full of New York boarders, and Ward gave it to his wife and spent the summers there and at his Strawberry Hill farm in Stamford. Four years ago the property was put in Mrs. Ward's name, and she will be able to keep it from her husband's creditors unless it can be established flint Ward was insolvent I at the time he gave it to his wife, which the creditors are now endeavoring to do. Mrs. Ward is said to be in delicate health. She is much beloved by the natives and she likes the old hotel above any of her husband's late possessions. ffltfeviUc inquirer. YORKVILLE, S. C. : THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 24,1884. THE PLAGUE IN FRANCE. The cholera is raging so fearfully in Marseilles and Toulon, France, that a serious panic has occurred, and the people are stampedingfromthose cities in large numbers. For the past .ten days the deaths at Marseilles have averaged thirty per day, and at Toulon the mortality has been about eighteen per day for the same period. The Academy of Medicine, in Paris, have decided by unanimous vote that a land quarantine in France is impracticable, and they have also declared that the disinfection process is inefficacious and illu sory, and it urges the establishment of cholera hospitals at all large railway stations. President Arthur has issued a proclamation, calling upon quarantine officers on the American eoqstto be diligent and on the alert to prevent the introduction of the pestilence into the United States, and in a cabinet meeting it was determined to make every possible effort to prevent the introduction of the contagion. RESCUE OF THEpGREELY PARTY. In the whirl of events no news came more unexpectedly to the American people, and we may say more welcome to them and the inhabitants of the civilized world, than the intelligence flashed from St. John's, New Foundland, last Thursday,that three of the Greely relief vessels?Thetis, Bear, and Lord Garry, had arrived at St. John's, having on board the Arctic explorer, Lieutenant Greely and the remnant of his party that had survived the five years of isolation and imprisonment in the barren polar region. Lieutenant Schley, commander of the expedition, telegraphs modestly to the Secretary of the Navy, that at 9 P. M., on June 22nd, five miles off Cape Sabine, in Smith's Sound, the Thetis and Bear rescued alive Lieut. A. W. Greely, Sergt. Brainerd, Sergt. Fredericks, Sergt. Long, Hospital Steward Beiderback, Private Connell and Sergt. Ellison, the only survivors of the Lady Franklin Bay (Greely) Expedition. Sergt. Ellison had lost both hands and feet by frost bite, and died July 6, at Godhaven, three days after amputation, which had become imperative. Seventeen of the twenty-five persons composing this expedition perished by starvation at the point where they were found. One was drowned while sealing to procure food. Twelve bodies of the dead were rescued and are now on board the Thetis and Bear. One Esquimau, Turnevik, was buried at Disco in accordance with the desire of the inspector of Western Greenland. Five bodies buried in the ice fort near the camp were swept to sea by the winds and currents before his arrival and could not be recovered. A list of those who perished in the Greely expedition is given, and the names of twelve of the dead whose bodies were rescued and brought to St. John's to bo placed in melalic cases. Lieut. Schley's report, which is short, briefly narrates Greely's adventures after abandoning Fort Con/M 1- -X* A 4. lOOO AafnUi'oKSno. ger on mo yin 01 august, kxw, ?hu mtauuouiug his permanent camp, October 21st, on an ice floe in Smith's Sound, where he was found. They were adrift for thirty days on an ice floe in Smith's Sound, and for nine long and weary months they had to live on a scanty allowance of damaged food. After that they had to live on boiled sealskin strips from their clothing, lichens and shrimps, when their weakness enabled them to procure them in quantities enough to be of service. At the time the rescue was made four of the Greely party were so exhausted that they could not have lived twenty-four hours. All Greely's records and all the instruments brought by him from Fort Conger are recovered and are on board. A dispatch of last Saturday says that Lieut. Greely and his men were progressing favorably, Greely less so, perhaps, than the others. On Friday he exhibited symptoms of great fatigue and weakness, caused by talking too much. He is the guest of the city of St. John's, and besides himself each member of the party forms the centre of listening, admiring groups, and goes over and over the recital of the terrible past. Caskets were prepared for the dead and memorial services were held on Sunday in all the churches of the city, and com meliorative sermons preached. Lieut. Schley lias received orders from Washington to remain at St. John's only so long as may bo necessary and then to proceed with his three vessels, with the survivors and dead, to Portsmouth, N. H., wliero he will await further orders, and where the members of the Greely party and relief expedition can become acclimated "before proceeding further south. The returning vessels will sail from St. John's to-day. HENDRICKS SPEAKS. On Saturday night following the Democratic nominations at Chicago a large and enthusiastic ratification meeting was held in Indianapolis, the home of Thomas A. Hendricks. Addressing the meeting, he removed all doubt about his acceptance of the second place on the ticket by assuring his hearers that he was fully in accord with the action of the Convention, and by paying a just and high tribute to the merit and integrity of Grover Cleveland. He said : I am very much encouraged and delighted to meet you on this occasion. You come to celebrate and to express your approval of the nominations that were made at Chicago. I am glad that you are cordjal in this expression. This is a great year with us. Every fourth year the people elect the two great ofljcers of the Government. This year is our great year, and every man, whatever his party associations may bo, is called upon to reconsider all question's upon which he is disposed to act, and, having reconsidered, to cast his vote in favor of what he bo| lieved to be right. The Democracy appointed me one of the delegates to the Convention at Chicago. I spent nearly a week in attendance in the city. I return to say a few things to you, and only a few things, in regard to that Convention. It was the largest Convention ever held in America. Never has such an assemblage of people been seen before. It was a Convention marked in its character for sobriety, deliberation and purpose. It selected two men to carry the banner, and leaving that Convention and going out before the people the question is, "Will you help carry the banner ?' * [Great cheering and cries of "We will doit."] I do not expect, I have no right to expect, that I will escape the criticism and it may be, the slander of the opposite party. I have not in my lifesutlered very much from that, but I come before you, Democrats, Conservatives, Independents,'and all men who wish to restore the Government to the position it occupied before these corrupt times, and to all such men I make my appeal forj'our support for the high oflico for which I have been nominated by the Democracy at Chicago. Grover Cleveland, Governor of New York, is the nominee for President. He was promoted to that high office by the largest ma jority ever deciding an election in that State. lie is a man of established honesty of character, and if you will elect him to the Presidency of the United States you will not hear of star routes in the postal service of the country under his administration. I will tell you'what we needDemocrats and Republicans will alike agree upon that?we need to have the books in the Government offices opened tor examination. Do you think that men in this age never yield to temptation ? It is only two weeks ago that one of the secretaries at Washington was called before a Senate committee to testify in regard to the condition of. his department. | In that department was the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery. In that department an examinaI tion was being had by the committee from the Senate, and it was ascertained by the oath of the I Secretary that sits at the head of the department | that the defalcation found during the last year, as far as it has been estimated, was !?G3,000, and when asked about it he said that lie had received a letter a year ago informing him of some of these outrages, and that a short time since somebody had come to him and told him that there were frauds going on in the service, but that members of Congress had recommended the continuance of the head of the bureau with such earnestness that he thought it must be all right. And now it turns out that the public is $03,000 out, and how much more no man, I expect, can now tell. But what is the remedv ? To have a Prosidont that ! will appoint a head of bureau that will investigate the condition of the books and bring all the | guilty parties to trial. Mr. Hendricks'speech was greeted with loud and continuous cheering, indicating unmistakably that the largo concourse of citizens, estima; ted at fully ten thousand, were enthusiastic in securing the success of the National Democratic I ticket. BLAINE'S LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE. Mr. Blaine's letter of acceptance has been given to the press for publication. It is a lengthy paper and an exhaustive treatise on the issues involved in the national canvass?questions which he thinks may affect the future of the nation favorably or unfavorably for a long series of years. He first discusses the tariff question, giving to it more space than any other subject under consideration. He says: "In enumerating the issues upon which the Republican party appeals for popular support the Convention has been singularly explicit and felicitous. It has properly given the leading position to the industrial interest of the country as affected by the tariff on imports." "On that question," he says, "the two political parties are radically in conflict." He then elaborates his views in favor of a protective tariff, which, ho argues contributes to our wealth and dignity and elevates our national character. As to the surplus revenue which | the tariff adds to the nation's revenue, ne says: Our opponents find fault that our revenue system produces a surplus. But they should not forget that the law has given a specific purIiose to which all of the surplus is profitably and lonorably applied?the reduction of the public debt and the consequent relief of the burden of taxation. No dollar has been wasted and the only extraviganee with which the party stands charged is the generous pensioning of soldiers, sailors and their families?an extravagance which embodies the highest form of justice in the recognition and payment of a sacred debt. When reduction of taxation is to be made the Republican party can be trusted to accomplish it in such form as will most effectively aid the industries of the nation. He also makes a labored argument to show that the export trade of the United States has i ncreased enormously under the protective policy of the government, and says: The total exports from the United States from the Declaration of Independence in 1770 down to the day of Lincoln's election in 1860, added to all that had previously been exported from the American colonies from their original settlement, amounted to less than nine thousand millions of dollars. On the other hand our exports from 1860 to the close of the last fiscal year exceeded twelve thousand millions of dollars the whole of it being the product of American labor. Evidently a protecti ve tariff has not injured our export trade when, under its influence, we exported in twenty-four years forty per cent, more than the total amount that had been exported in the entire previous historj' of American commerce. All the details when analyzed, correspond with this gigantic result. The commercial cities of the Union never had such growth as they have enjoyed since 1800. Our chief emporium, the city of New York, with its dependencies, has within that period doubled her population and increased her wealth five told. During the same period the imports and exports which have entered and left her harbor are more than double in bulk and value the whole amount exported by her between onHlamnnt nf thn first. Hlltch ColonV Oil the island of Manhattan and the outbreak of the civil war in I860. While he claims these statements as true, he also argues that the agriculture of the country is no less enhanced by a protective tariff than are the manufacturing interest. Considerable space is dqyoted to our foreign policy, which, summed up, is to the effect that his party seeks only the conquests of peace and desires to extend the commerce of the country, and especially would he desire to extend and enlarge our commercial relations with Mexico, though he is explicit in his averment that it is not the policy of the United States Government to extend its boundary south of the Rio Grande. Concluding this branch of his subject, he says: Cannot this condition of trade in great part be changed? Cannot the market for our products be greatly enlarged? We have made a beginning in our effort to improve our trade relations with Mexico, and we should not fee content until similar and mutually advantageous arrangements have been successfully made with every nation of North and South America. While the great powers of Europe are steadily enlarging their colonial domination in Asia and Africa, it is the especial province of this country to improve and expand its trade with the nations of America. No field promises so much. No field has been cultivated so little. Our foreign policy should be an American policy in its broadest and most comprehensive sense?a policy of peace, of friendship, of commercial enlargement. The name of American, which belongs to us in our national capacity must always exalt the just pride of patriotism. Citizenship of the republic must be the panoply and safeguard of him who wears it. The American citizen, rich or poor, native or naturalized, white or colored, must everywhere walk secure in his personal and civil rights. The repulic should never accept a lesser duty, it can never assume a nobler one, than the protection of the humblest man who owes it loyalty?protection at home and protection which shall follow him abroad, into whatever land he may go up on a lawful errand. A portion of his letter is devoted especially to the "Southern States," of which he speaks as follows: I recognize, not without regret, the necessity for speaking of two sections of our common ennntrv. But the reeret diminishes when I see that the elements which separated them are fast disappearing. Prejudices have yielded and are yieluing, while a growing cordiality warms the Southern and Northern heart alike. Can any one doubt that between the sections confidence, and esteem are to-day more marked than at any period in the sixty years preceding the election of President Lincoln? This is the result in part of time and in part of Republican principles applied under the favorable conditions of uniformity. It would be a great calamity to change these* influences under which Southern Commonwealths aro learning to vindicate civil rights, and adapting themselves to conditions of political tranquility and industrial progress. If there be occasional and violent outbreaks in the South against the peaceful progress, the public opinion of the country regards them as exceptional and hopefully trusts that each will prove the last, The South needs capital and occupation, not controversy. As much as any part of the North, the South needs the full protection of the revenue laws which the Republican party offers. Some of the Southern States have already entered upon a career of industrial development and prosperity. These, at least, should not lend their electoral votes to destroy their own future. Any efforts to unite the Southern States upon issues that grow out of the memories of the war will summon the Northern States to combine in the assertion of that nationaltv which was their inspiration in the civil struggle. And thus great energies which should be united in a common industrial development will be wasted in hurtful strife. The Democratic party shows itself a foe to Southern prosperity by always invoking and urging Southern political consolidation. Such a policy quenches the rising instinct of patriotism in the heart of the Southern youth; it re yives and stimulates prejudices; it substitutes the spirit of barbaric vengeance for the love of peace, progress and harmony. He next discusses civil service, and favors the rule of impartial appointments in the service of the Government. IIo says i "The people have the right to the most elllcient agents in the discharge of public businoss, and the appointing power should regard this as the prior and ulterior consideration." Discussing the Mormon question, after citing constitutional provisions on the subject of religious liberty, lie says: The claim of the Mormons that they are divinely authorized to practice polygamy should 110 lhore be admitted than the claim of"certain heathen tribes, if they should come among us, to continue the rite of human sacrifice. The law does not interfere with what a man believes; it takes cognizance only with what he docs. As citizens, the Mormons are entitled to the same civil rights as others and to these they must be confined. Polygamy can never receive national sanction or toleration by admitting the community that upholds it as a State in the Union. Like others, the Mormons must learn that the liberty of the individual ceases where the rights of society begin. Of the currency ho says: ihn nnStnrl Qtainu flimnrll nffpn 4. 11U tilVJ uuibVM urged and tempted, have never seriously contemplated the recognition of any other money than gold and silver?and currency directly convertible into them. They have not done so, and they will not do so under any necessity less pressing than that of desperate war. The only special requisite for the completion of our monetary system is the fixing of tho'rclativo values of silver and gold. The large use of silver as the money of account among the Asiatic nations, taken in connection with tho increasing commerce of the world, gives the weightiest reasons for international agreement in the premises. Our Government should not cease to urge this measure until a common standard of value shall bo reached apd established?a standard that shall enable the United States to itse the silver from Its mines as an auxilliary to gold in settling the balances of commercial exchange. On the subject of the public lands, ho says, "the strength of the republic is increased by the multiplication of land holders," and while characterizing as an evil the permitting of large tracts of the national domain to be consolidated and controlled by the few against the many, he urges that "it is but fair that the public lands should be disposed of only to actual settlers and to those who are citizens of the Republic, or who are willing to become so." A paragraph in favor of encouraging our shipping interests and he concludes as follows, on "the sacredness of the ballot;" The survey of our condition as a nation reminds us that material prosperity is but a mockery if it does not tend to preserve tho liberty of the people. A free ballot is the safeguard of Republican institutions, without which no national welfare is assured. A popular election, honestly conducted, embodies the very majesty of true Government. 'I,pn millions of voters desire to take part in the pending contest. The safety of the Republic rests upon the integrity of the ballot, upon the securitj' of suffrage to the citizen. To deposit a fraudulent vote is no worse a crime against constitutional liberty than to obstruct the deposit of an honest %*ote. ldo who corrupts suffrage strikes at the very root of free government. He is the arch enemy of the Republic. He forgets that in trampling upon the rights of others he fatally imperils his own rights. "It is a good land which the Lord our God doth give us," but we can maintain our heritage only by guarding with vigilance the source of popular power. SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS. ?

English Views on the Presidetjal Canvass.?-The London Times, in its article upon the Democratic and Republican nominees for the Presidency, says: "The platforms concocted by the Republican and Democratic Conventions are both equally unworthy of respect. They are distinguished by evasions and trimmings, by servile rivalry in flattering the masses and in pandering"to popular prejudices, thus encouraging some of the most pernicious doctrines of modern demagogues and social quacks," The London Neics says: "America's foreign relations will bo safer in Cleveland's hands than in those of Blaine. The latter represents the American Jingo party, which like the same party here, makes up in audacity and volubility for lack of numbers. As President, Cleveland would cultivate quietude abroad and peace at home. If elected he will more worthily represent the property, good sense and studied moderation of the American people than Blaine." | LOCAL AFFAIRS. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. R. Lalhan, S. C'. Y.

The examination will be held at Spartanburg on the 6th of August next: Applicants, male or female, must be at least 17 years of age, and will bo required to remain at the eollego two yoars, if the scholarship be con tinned so long, and must obligate themselves 10 teach in the public schools of the State at least two years, if there is opportunity. Circulars giving all necessary information as to course of study, expenses, etc., can be obtained by addressing the State Superintendent of Education at Columbia. BRIEF MENTION. The attention of those persons desiring to apply for teachers' certificates, is directed to the notice of the County School Commissioner, published in another column. An examination of teachers will be held in the Court House next Tuesday. Mr. Alonzo Rose has sent us a tomato, weighing eleven ounces, which shows the susceptibility of that vegetable under the high cultivation which ho bestows upon his garden, Mr. J. C, Brown has favored us with a specimen of tho "Toxas Monster" bean, the seed of which he brought from that State. It is the largest esculent of the bean variety that we have over seen. Mr. Brown has also shown us some fine millet, with which he lias been very successful this year. Reports from the growing crops represent cotton as doing well since the warm, dry weather succeeding the rains of last month. Fields are generally clear of grass, and the plant is growing satisfactorily, with the exception that some complaint is made of an excess of weed. Indications are that the corn crop of the county will be short. Rnt little was planted on uplands, and much of that planted in the bottoms was overflowed and drowned out. THE UOCK HILL ROAD CASE. On last Saturday the County Commissioners visited the lino of tho survey of the new road leading from the "Berry place" to Rock Hill over the lands of Mr. A. F. Fewelland Mr. S. M.

C., July 22.?I made a hasty trip to Blackstocks a few days ago. I saw some fine cotton along the railroad. It was large, without grass, and gave promise of yielding well. There was also some good upland corn along the railroad, though there was some quite small, and very unpromising. I saw unmistakable evidence of profress in our neighboring town. Mr. James ohnson, one of Blackstocks' enterprising merchants, is erecting a beautiful brick building, which, when completed, he will occupy as a store. By energy and close attention to business he has succeeded in building up a good and prosperous trade, which is abundantly manifested by the imErovement that is now under way. Messrs. ouglas & Kenudy have a pretty store, and may be justly ranked among the enterprising and prosperous merchants of Blackstocks. They are doing a good business and have every reason to expect an increase the coming season. I paid a visit to my friend, Mr. J. E. Craig, who is conducting successfully a mercantile business for Mr. Robert Hemphill. Blackstocks is blessed with good, sociable, pleasant people, and, as it is favored with a good surrounding country, has every indication of becoming every year a more flourishing town. The hot days of last week were of immense benefit to the crops. The improvement in the condition of cotton is particularly great. It has grown wonderfully since the rains ceased. It is generaly clean, and if the reports I hear are reliable I believe that a fine cotton crop will be made this year. Corn on the uplands is generally good, and gives promise"of yielding well, while corn on the lowlands is for the most part miserably poor, and promises a very poor yield. Farmers are much more hopeful and are in better spirits than they were a couple of weeks ago. They now believe that with the continuauce of tolerably good seasons an average cotton crop will be produced Mrs. J. L. Love, of Bullock's Creek neighborhood, died on last Wednesday night of dropsy after a lingering illness. She was about sixty years of age at the time of her death. She was a member of Bullock's Creek Presbyterian Church, and died in the hope of a blessed immortality beyond the grave. An infant son of Jason Jones, of the same neighborhood, also died on last Wednesday. An infant son of Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Sanders, of this place, died on last Wednesday night. The burial took place 011 Thursday afternoon at Evergreen Cemetery. The flag pole was successfully raised on last Wednesday afternoon on the main square, and near by the platform for the speakers at the ratification meeting was erected. A meeting of the Chester Democratic Club was held on last Friday afternoon. Resolutions endorsing Congressman Hemphill and Solicitor Gaston were adopted. The following gentlemen were elected delegates to the County Convention : Messrs. w. H. Hardin, J. L.Chambers, S. M. Jones, G. W. Curtis, J. B. McFadden, Fred Walker, Joel Simril, James Strieker, J. M. McNeel, S. P. Hamilton, F. T. Morgan, R. A. Love, E. C. McLure and G. W. Gage. The meeting for the ratification of the nomination of Cleveland and Hendricks on last Friday night was a grand success. The buildings along Main street were illuminated, the cannon boomed at intervals, fireworks were displayed, a handsome United States flag floated from a lofty pole, a huge Cleveland and Hendricks banner waved over the street, and last, but not least, distinguished speakers entertained the multitude with eloquent addresses. J. M. McNeil, Esq., County Chairman, who is a hard worker in the Democratic cause, prefaced the introduction of the speakers with some forcible and eloquent remarks. The first speaker of the evening was Hon. G. J. Patterson. His remarks were principally confined to the work of the Chicago Convention, of which he was a member. He spoke in terms of the highest praise of Grover Cleveland, and expressed the opinion that the doubtful States, including New York, ^ ^ i-f?1 1 T ? A 2 --.^.,1.1 iNow Jersey, L/Onnecueutunu muiium, wuuiu be carried for the Democratic nominees. Mr. Patterson made an interesting and excellent speech. He was followed by Col. J. G'. Haskell, of Columbia, who consumed the greater portion of his time in comparing the records of the Republican and Democratic parties. The highest interest of the people, he said, dependeded upon the result of the election. The Democracy were urged to put forth the greatest efforts in behalf of their candidates. Col. Haskell displayed at times considerable eloquence. The next speaker was Hon. J. J. Hemphill, member of Congress from this District. Since his stay in Washington he has gotten more light in regard to the dark ways of Republican officials. He exposed unmercifully their rascalities. Among other things he said there was not an honest deputy marshal in the State. The other speakers were Solicitor Gaston, Col. W. R. Davie, Major S. P. Hamilton, Capt. R. T. Mockbee, J. L. Glenn, Esq., and j?. T. Morgan, Esq. The addresses were elequent and soul-stirring. The ratification meeting was a grand success, and gave convincing proof of the determination of the Democracy of old Chester to carry the election for Cleveland and Plend ricks. An infant child of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. McFadden died on last Saturday afternoon. The burial took place the next day at the cemetery. Mr.S. K. Marks, a merchant of our town, died on last Sunday afternoon. lie had been for some time in declining health, caused by dropsy. His remains were carried the next day to Rock Hill for burial. The late religious meeting conducted by Rev. R. W. Sanders, was attended with good results. There were a number of accessions to the church. Mr. Sanders was assisted a portion of the time by Rev. Mr. Pugh and Rev. Mr. Brown. The preaching was characterized with great fervency. The County Convention met yesterday. J. M. McNeel was elected President, and Mr. Banks Thompson, Secretary of the Convention, Col. W. R. Davie and Mr. E. M. I * A1-? ?Alnnfnrl Afi'nQ-PrOciflpnfS! iVlKlIlSUU WC1C cicticu i ?v.v j. ivuiuvu.m. The following delegates were elected to the Judicial Convention : J. M. McNeel, J. IT. Neely, J. C. McAfee, J. F. Barber, W. G. Austin, W. II. Heath, Lawrence Hardin and It. T. Mockbee. The following delegates were elected to the Congressional Convention: G. L. Kennedy, G. \V. Gage, It. T. Folks, M. S. Linn, Alexander Wise, William Cherry, W. S. Hall and J. M. Caldwell. Congressman Hemphill and Solicitor Gaston were both endorsed by the Convention. m. ? The opposition of Grady to the nomination of Cleveland is thus explained : When Grady was a Tammany State Senator he held the balance of power between the regular Democrats and the Itepublican party. He traded continually with the Republicans, and did everything he could to embarrass Governor Cleveland and to defeat his appointments. The Governor, who had received from John Kelly assurances of friendship, wrote the Tammany chief that he did not think the public interest would be served by Grady's return to the Senate. Kelly and his crowd pretended great indignation and gave the letter to the press for publication. And this is the cause of Mr. Grady's opposition to Governor Cleveland. So far as the veto of the five cent fore bill I goes, Grady himself opposed that bill. GENERAL POLITICAL NOTES. ? Ben. Butler denies the reporters an interview, but says he will be heard from in due time, and in his own way. ? John Kelly says that there are but ten Democratic counties in the State of New York, but when Cleveland ran for Governor he carried forty. ? The Baltimore Sun says the Deinocrati platform, in the manner and material of its construction, compares favorably with any similar paper of the last fifty years. ? St. Louis, Mo., had a rousing ratification meeting, in which a great deal of enthusiasm was manifested and the Cleveland ticket was received with loud and long cheering. ? The gubernatorial campaign in North Carolina will open at ISewton on the 2nd of August. There will be joint discussions by the respective candidates?Gen. Scales, Democrat, and Dr. York, Republican. ? The New York Herald says: "The Solid South is at last on the side of the Nation and deserves great credit for getting thereand further: "For once the Democrats have nominated a man for President for whom no colored citizen need fear to vote." ? Charlotte Observer : Mr. Blaine says that he has the advantage of Mr. Cleveland, who is not well known. The trouble with Blaine is that he is too well known, and he will discover before the campaign closes that Governor Cleveland will be pretty well known. ? The Republican State Convention of Kansas met at Topeka on the 16th instant and concluded its work on the following day, nominating a full State ticket. One plank of its platform demands a rigid enforcement of the prohibition law, which it denominates a measure irrespective of party affiliation. ? A late Elizabeth, N. J., dispatch says : B. W. Teerlinde of this city, Secretary of the National Committee of the Greenback party who accompanied General Butler from Chicago to Buffalo, says that Mr. Butler stated distinctly to Gen. Weaver, himself and others, that he had accepted the nomination of the National and Anti-Monopoly parties and would run, probably concentrating his work in New York. ?The State elections prior to the PresidenJ.!.l _ I a. * "XT I 211 1 1 1 J 1L!. uai election in ixovemuer win ue neiu uns year in the following States: Alabama, August 4; Arkansas, September, 1; Georgia, October 1; Maine, September 8; Ohio, October 14; Vermont, September 4, and West Virginia, October 12. Louisiana and Rhode Island held State elections in April, and Oregon in June last. All the other States elect State officers November 4. ? Secretary Chandler and Vice-President Hendricks have had a tart correspondence over the frauds in the Surgeon General's office. Mr. Hendricks charged that Chandler was responsible for their continuance'; Chandler denied it, and said the Surgeon General's retention had been urged by prominent Democrats, including Senator Butler and Congressman Aiken. Mr. Hendricks replies that the Surgeon General was not implicated in the frauds and no more responsible for them than Chandler who was his superior officer. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. NOTES FROM CLOYEB. Clover, S. July 21.?We have had more sickness in Clover this season than was ever known before, though it is now somewhat abating. Crops are tine. The small grain crop was above an average. Our Academy opened its fall session today with Mr. E. W. Pressly, of Due West, as principal. Rev. M. R. Kirkpatrick, pastor of the Presbyterian church here, and his family, are on a visit to Davidson College. Mr. W. Beatty Smith and family leave this even ing lor a trip to the mountains, ins headquarters will be at Lenoir. Mrs. Jos. F. Wallace and children, of Yorkville, are now recreating in our quiet village.

( Our postoffice has been designated a money order office, the order taking effect today. _ Vox. For tlie Yorkville Enquirer. ELECTION OF TRIAL JUSTICES. Editor of the Enquirer: I observe that the election of trial justices by the people is a question that is attracting public attention. An article favoring the plan appeared in a recent issuq of the Rock Hill Herald. I think the suggestion a good one. There are trial justices in this county who are holding the office contrary to the will of the people. Now, if the office was elective such would not be the case. The office is very often filled by men wholly incompetent to properly discharge its duties; and ir they have friends in the Legislature, they can hold the office as long as they wish. A trial justice who knows nothing of law, will put the county to a great deal more expense than a man who knows his business, and a man who is not a judge of law is not competent to fill the office of trial justice. Clay Hill. An Irish View of the Ticket.?The Irish-American takes a cheering view of the Democratic ticket and says: Of the result of the struggle?the success of the Democratic ticket?we do not entertain the slightest doubt. Aside altogether from the exalted character of the candidates it has presented to the country, the attitude and temper of the Convention at Chicago afford the best assurance that in this fight tho Democrats throughout the Union will be united and in earnest, and with the assistance which, in the work of reform, they must receive from all good citizens, of whatever previous political leanings, they cannot fail not only to hold all that, in 187G, they conquered under the "old ticket." but also to carry such States as Ohio and Michigan?which the Republicans themselvs now concede to be doubtful?with a strong probnhilifir nf rrnininrr <3iir>h Stntps ns Wiwnnsin and those of the Pacific coast. The prospect is a cheering one, and its very brightness is not only an incitement to labor, but an inculcation of the necessity for the most earnest work on the part of every Democrat. jjjttiai Notices. A Card. To the Voters of Chester county: As the papers of Chester may not fully reach the extreme outskirts of the county, I adopt this method of making known to our citizens that I am a candidate for the oflice of CLERK OF TIIE COURT of Chester county. I may not be able, on account of oflice duties, to visit my friends or greet them on the street when they are in town; however, they may rest assured that should I be their choice, I shall do my duty in the faithful discharge of the business of the office. Having served our people for twenty-five years as express agent and telegraph operator, I am confident that I can further please them as Clork of the Court. C. H. BRENNECKE. July 24 30 tf OBITUARY.
