A Troy, Indiana, dispatch of Friday reports the arrest of the husband and two sons ' of Mrs. Hendershot, whose decapitated body was found on Wednesday in a cistern, the head being hidden in some bushes. Great excitement prevailsin Troy. Lynching was attempted on Friday afternoon. ? Thomas L. Shields, who has been confined in the Charlotte, N. C., jail on the charge of killing Sitton, has been removed to the Statesville jail. His second trial having been removed to Iredell, and comes off in February next, it was thought it might benefit his health by a change of prisons? hence his removal to Statesville. ?

Internal Revenue Commissioner Evans has declined to revoke his ruling that when a liquor dealer ships distilled spirits "collect on delivery," he must have a license in the town to which the spirits are sent. The commisioner has, however, consented to let the matter remain in abeyance until the courts have passed upon a similar question in a case now pending. ? The business failures occurring throughout the country in the seven days ending last Friday, as reportrd to R. G. Dun & Co. number for the United States 196 and for Canada 24, or a total of 220, as against 217 the previous week. The figures are almost identical/ The failures are below the average iu western New England and the Pacific States, but correspondingly inereased in the Middle and Southern States and New York City. ? The tobacco dealers throughout the north and west have become greatly alarmed over the appearance among their stock of a little bug which they call the tobacco weevil that is causing ruin in their business. The bug is about half the size of a fly and has a " sharp, pointed head, a hard shell back, small wings and a dark brown color. It feeds and thrives on tobacco, especially on cigarettes and fine cut for chewing, while it has been recently discovered in natural leaf plug. ? The New Orleans Picayune, estimates that unfavorable weather has reduced the cotton crop to 6,000,000 bales or less. It adds: "There are no indications pointing to renewed activity in the goods trade, and until thatcoraes manufacturers are likely to purchase sparingly. In the meantime 4-Un.

The reunion of the Mexican veterans took place in St. Louis on Wednesday of last week, the session continuing three days. About two hundred delegates from different States were in attendance. In the absence of President James W. Denver, General W. D. Manson, of Indiana, First VicePresident, called the reunion to order and an address of welcome was delivered by J. C. McGi'nnes, of St. Louis, and was replied to by acting President Manson. ?Information has been received from counties around Petersburg Va., to the elfect that the streams and wells are fast drying up. Considerable difficulty is experienced in some sections to get water for the cattle. The farmers claim that the corn and tobacco crops are damaged to the extent of onethird, while others say one-half. In some of the counties the tobacco is being cut down and the ground is being sown with wheat. The damage done to the peanut crop is said to be immense. ? A terrible tragedy was prevented at Erie, Pa., on Friday through the interference of the authorities. Leo Schreck and his wife and John Flick had $118 deposited in the Erie county savings bank, at Erie, and when the institution suspended, the loss of the money drove them insane. Thinking afterwards, in their insanity, that they had committed some great sin, they inflicted self flagelations. On Friday two officers obUCHtrcn cttixt trie mrouig^tirg a w in their back yard. The house was entered, when it was found they intended to enact the death of Christ and crucify Flick, which was to be followed by the killing of their children, to represent Herod's slaughter of the innocents. They are now in custody. ? Matt O'Reardon, the famous pianist, whose extraordinary performances on that instrument have created admiration in nearly every town and city in the South, died from the effects of dissipation in the City Hospital at Louisville, Ky., one day last ww>t TTp originated the idea of toniner or dinary glass tumblers to the harmonic scale by graduating: them with water, and arranging them in convenient position would play Yankee Doodle on them with his left hand and Dixie on the piano with his right hand. He was the reputed author of many popular songs of the day?among them "My Dream of Love is O'er," "Gathering Shells by the Seashore," "Only an Ivy Leaf," "Marriage Dells"; and many others that have been sung all over the world. ? Whatever may be said for or against prohibition and the sale of liquor, there can be no doubt but that the prohition people have madegreat progress within the last few years, and especially in the South. In Georgia there are90 prohibition counties; in West Virginia there are 43 out of 54; Tennessee prohibits the sale of liquor within four miles of any school house; Maryland has a strong law restricting the sale; Arkansas, Mississippi and Alabama have very stringent liquor laws; Texas came within four votes of a two-thirds majority in the Legislature for a prohibition amendment to the Constitution; Missouri has a high license law, and in South Carolina liquor cannot be sold legally except in incorporated towns, and a large number of the towns have voted against the license. ? In New York, last Friday, the Board of Managers of the Cotton Exchange prepared a series of rules for the inspection of eotton, on which the members will vote on the 20th instant. The rules provide for the appointment of an inspector who shall have direct charge of the department. Members of the Exchange wishing to have cotton inspected must notify the inspector, who will take charge of the sampling, class marking, &c., and turn the samples over to the Classification Committee, and on its certificate of grade cause the warehouse men to issue a receipt for the number of bales, grade aud weight. The warehouse men will be under bonds to deliver the identical bales called for in the receipt. It is claimed that under this system parties not experts in cotton can purchase and hold it safely, as they have absolute certaiuness of being able to redeliver it as of the same grade as received, and that loans can be made more freely and with greater safety by banks, trust companies and parties not in the cotton business. ? On the subject of department clerkships, j a Washington dispatch says : A good many j persons imagine that if they can pass a civil, service examination they will step at once j into a place in some one of the departments i of the Government. As a matter of fact, they may have to wait many months. Some 1 of those who have recently been appointed passed the necessary examinations over a year ago. A short time ago, when Secretary Lincoln wanted a clerk in the one thousand-dollar class, he selected from the list: certified by the Civil Service Commission a resident of California. Notice of the appointment was sent to California and was I returned with the statement that the wouldbe clerk had been dead nine months. In several other cases applicants have become tired of waiting and have gone into other business. At present there are many more women than men on the rolls of the Civil Service Commission eligible for appointment and wondering why they are not set to work. ? The "curse of Guiteau" upon all persons in any way connected with his conviction j and execution, has again been verified in the death of the mounted guard who conducted the assassin from the Court House to the prison. This person was shot and killed the other day in Washington by a negro. Guiteau'scurse seems to be like John Brown's soul, "marchingon." An eye-witness of the last moments of the trial says: I can remember the evening the verdict was rendered, when the approaching night and the blinding snow had darkened the court room and the lamps and candles placed on the bench and counsel tables threw fitful shadows jicross the room. The verdict was rendered amid the most intense silence. A spontaneous murmur of something like applause greeted it, and then the assassin glaring like a wild beast, swaying to and fro in an agony of fear and anger, invoked the awful curse upon all who raised a finger against him, or by word or deed aided in his confinement or conviction. It was a very impressive minute. The assassin's actions then were much more horrible and thrilling than in themoment of his death upon the scaffold. ?hc ? fltMlc taqntm. YORKVILLE, S. C. : THURSDAY MORNING, OCT. 16,1884. DEMOCRATS, REMEMBER. There can be no doubt but that the Republicans in South Carolina will make a tremendous effort to carry the State for Blaine and Logan. They are working silently, but that they are in earnest there can be no mistake, and the only way to prevent their success is for every Democrat to do his duty. The greatest danger to Democratic success in the National election, so far as this State is concerned, is in over-confidence; and the same remark will apply to the Congressional contest in this District. There is no use to disguise the fact that we are in danger, and every Democratic voter should act upon the assumption that to his efforts alone succeas is due. Let York county roll up a heavy majority for the County, Congressional, State and Electoral tickets and thus aid in ensuring the success of the National Democratic ticket. SEW YORK AROUSED. The grandest political demonstration known in New York city since the famous Log Cabin days of 1844, occurred last Thursday, when an overwhelming and enthusiastic parade was made through the city in honor of Cleveland and Hendricks. It was literally a demonstration of the people, joined in alike by all classes. Men with their millions, bankers, merchants and working men, all vied with each other in showing their allegiance to the Democratic standard-bearers. Party lines were largely obliterated, and men who for twenty-five years had been identified as unflinching Republicans, were as demonstrative in the denunciation of Blaine and endorsement of Cleveland as the most ardent Democrats. It is estimated that not less than 20,000 voters marched in the parade, and altogether it was a gratifying demonstration in the Empire City in favor of Cleveland and Reform. THE OHIO ELECTION. The State election in Ohio took place last Tuesday, but at the hour at which we are compelled to go to press we have no intelligence as to the result, and speculation now would be vain and empty as reading circus posters after the show has passed. Both parties have been claiming the State, and as recently as last Saturday the Democratic prospects were claimed by well informed persons to be unusually cheering, though it is known that Blaine concentrated all his forces in the State, and with men, money and speaking, in addition to his own individual I exertions by a personal canvass, has made a j Herculean effort to gain the day for the Rer?1"f ? rtr* flirt er election in Ohio will greatly influence the Presidential election in November. Of course the electoral votes of Ohio would be something nice to count on the side of Cleveland on/1 a faint Knno has harm pntprfrflinpfl by some that Ohio will vote Democratic, not only in the present contest, but also in the Presidential; yet it is well enough, be the result of last Tuesday as it may, to remember that the Democratic leaders have never based any substantial hopes on Ohio, either in the October or the November election and feel assured.of Cleveland's election without Ohio's vote. IMPORTANT NOTICE. The special attention of precinct chairmen is directed to the notice published in our advertising columns of the County Chairman relative to the calling of precinct meetings on Saturday, November 1st, for the purpose of discussing matters of importance bearing upon the general election. We trust the chairmen will be prompt in the calling of these meetings, and that the Democratic voters of the respective precincts will respond to them with alacrity and unanimity. Another matter referred to by the County Chairman is the raising of funds for State campaign purposes. This is an important matter, and one that cannot be neglected. For the purpose of defraying York's quota of the campaign an assessment of $193 is made upon the county. This sum must be raised, and it can only be done by the voters of each precinct coming forward and giving a practical demonstration of their desire for a continuation of honest State government and a reform in the National administration. As may bo seen in another column, Yorkville is the only precinct, as such, that has yet contributed to this object. Other subscriptions have been made by candidates outside of the town; but every precinct is expected to furnish its quota. The required sum is needed and must be raised. County Taxation.?The following amendment to the Constitution of the State will be submitted to the people at the general election, to be held on November 4 : Section 17. Any bonded debt hereafter incurred by any county, municipal corporation or a political division of this State, shall never exceed 8 per centum of the assessed value of all j the taxable property therein. j This amendment, if adopted, will be an additional section c?f the article of the Constitution relating to finance and taxation. There is at present no limit to the amount of indebtedness that counties, municipal corporations and other political divisions may incur with the sanction of the Legislature, and the intention of the amendment Is to prevent absolutely the incurring of any debt hereafter which shall exced 8 per cent, of the assessed value of the taxable property. The phraseology of the amendment 'is somewhat ambiguous, but we suppose that the meaning is that the whole bonded debt of any country, &c., hereatter incurred, shall not at any time exceed 8 per cent, of the taxable value of the property therein, whether this indebtedness he incurred in one transaction or by successive issues of bonds. There is no restriction in the section upon the power of the counties, etc., to incur indebtedness which does not take the form of bonds. They who are in favor of the amendment in question, which is entitled "Constitutional amendment limiting the powers of the counties, municipal corporations and political divisions to incur bonded debt," will vote Yes, and those opposed to it will vote No. Under authority given by the State Democratic Convention, both affirmative and negative ballots will be sent to the Democratic County Chairman in each county at the same time that ballots for electors and other officers are sent out?News and Courier. ? The health of Hon. John Ii. Evins is reported not to have improved much since his return to his home in Spartanburg, His friends think that he will not be able for his duties in Washington this winter.

Winnsboro News. 1 The methods by which the nomination !' was secured were acknowledged by all to be fair to all the candidates and the utmost 1 good feeling prevailed at the hour of ad- ' journment. That Mr. McDonald will make 1 an admirable solicitor, none doubt. He is 1 well known in. Fairfield and nothing fur- 1 ther need be said by us. J Lancaster Ledger. j The Democratic convention of the sixth ! Judicial Circuit reconvened at Chester on J ' . -1 ~ W7 n nWAOIimA f V?A lUUIKiny UII^UIUUU inni. pvouuii/ Uiv same candidates were before the eonven- ) tion. At 10 o'clock on Tuesday morning J. ; E. McDonald, Esq., of Winnsboro was ' unanimously nominated for Solicitor. Mr. ; McDonald is a young man of ability and his ( nomination will give unanimous satisfac- ; tion in this circuit. He has had considerable practice as a criminal lawyer, and is ' fitted in every respect for the office. This , cloak of honor could not have fallen on one more worthy to wear it. ( Chester Reporter. I James Elward McDonald was born near ] Itichburg, Chester county, on the loth of < December, 1806. His earliest education was received under the instruction of the late James B. Magi 11, Esq. Jn 1871 his father was called to the pastorate of New Hope, Associate Reformed church, Fairfield county. Here young McDonald became a pupil of Rev. H. M. Henry, and was prepared by him for admision into Erskine College, en- s tering that institution in October, 1874. He ] graduated with distinction in the class of 1877, and began, in a short time, to read ( law in the office of McCants & Douglass, at Winnsboro. The law of the State, at that, time, required that a student of law should pursue his studies for two years before applying for admission to the bar; so that Mr. McDonald was admitted to the practice of law in January, 1880. He opened an office ! in Winnsboro then, and has since continuously and most successfully practiced his 1 profession at that place. By his fine natural powers of mind, diligently cultivated, 1 his ardent devotion to his profession, his courteous and affable manners, and his high moral worth, he has attained a place in the front rank of the younger members of the bar. in this section of the State. His many friends in Chester congratulate him upon the distinction conferee! upon him, and wish and predict for him a career of increased success, honor and usefulness. Chester Bulletin. ( J. E. McDonald, Esq., was born in Ches- : ter county, near Richburg, December 15, : 1850. He graduated at Erskine College, and was admitted to the bar January 1G, 1880. j He has been engaged since that time in the , practice of his profession at Winnsboro,and has obtained a good practice. His career as i a lawyer has been throughout honorable and successful. He has devoted himself assiduously to his profession, and now occupies a high position at the Winnsboro bar. , He is a strong and ready speaker, a clear reasoner, and withal a good manager of J causes. He has been called upon as referee ! to determine important and difficult ques- j tions, both of law and fact, and his reports ' have always been clear, able and exhaustive. ! Rock Hill Herald. We have no personal acquaintance with Mr. McDonald, but we understand he is a talented young lawyer, a man of excellent traits of character, and those who know him say he will make an exceptionally good officer. , While regretting the defeat of Mr. McCaw, ' the Democracy of York will give Fairfield's , honored son a warm and enthusiastic sup- ; port. 1 THE CONGRESSIONAL CANVASS. j We contemn anything that savors of the ; alarmist or sensationalist, and we don't be- ' lieve that we lay ourself open to the suspicion of being identified with or akin to either when we say to the Democratic vo- . tors of this, the 5th Congressional District, in all sober earnestness, that there is danger : ahead of them. Let them fail to poll a solid vote on the 4th of next month, and C. C. Macoy, the white Radical who was nomChester hr-^'""elThv tion there assembled, will defeat our Dem- . ocratic nominee, the Hon. John J. Hemp- ' hill. Hear what F. A. Clinton, the active leader of the Radical party in this county , said in that Convention, as given us by the Chester Bulletin: 1 "Let us say to the Democrats that we de mand recognition and we are determined 1 that they shall feel our power. I claim 1 that we cannot and will not be defeated un- 1 less it is done by the so-called shot gun pol- 1 icy. [Cheers]. If every Republican is as true to himself and his God as he was going to ] be in this campaign, C. C. Macoy would < be elected by an overwhelming majority. [Loud cheers.] He said he had many I friends among the white people and he j claimed to have done as much for the State ] as any in it. Something must be done, i There was no way of conciliating the 1 whites. They have denied us the right 1 of self protection, we have appealed to < them time alter time to protect us in vain, i They have not carried out Hampton's policy towards the colored people and the time , was at hand for a change and we mean to ( have it. The negro seems to stand aloof . from the very men who even raised them, as ( they appear to be their bitterest enemies." < If Albert Clinton really expressed the 1 sentiments attributed to him in the foregoing extract, and we have no reason to doubt ( the fact that he did, we might as well pre- ] pare ourselves for a lively and bitter contest . in this county between now and the 4th < of November. Clinton and his aids will j see to it that every Republican vote in the i county is polled on that day. He has a per- j sonal reason for making himself active in this campaign. He received the nomination of Presidential elector from this district from the hands of his party last week; < so that we may expect him to not only work for Macoy as he has promised to ; do, but for himself also. We cannot afford ( to ignore these nominations, therefore and , this District will remain safe and solid for the Democrats so long as the Democrats are , vigilant and active, and no longer. Everything is going to depend upon unity of ac| tion in our own ranks.?Lancaster Review. j CROP REPORTS. \ The State Department of Agriculture fur- i nishes the following crop report, compiled i | from returns from township correspondents I to October 1st. The report covers every i j county in the State: f Cotton was greatly injured by the drought { that prevailed over nearly the entire State ( | during the month of September. The plant ' was attacked by the rust, the bolls opened ! prematurely, and a larger part of the "top < crop" was lost. The bolls are much under ] the usual size and lint is very short. A 1 correspondent in Newberry county says that instead of yielding one pound of lint ] for three of seed, the usual outturn, it re- ? quires, of the present crop, 1,300 pounds to 1 gin out 400 pounds of lint. In the lower { counties there was a heavy rainfall between t the 1st and 10th of September, followed by ( hot, dry and cool nights, proving very in- i jurious to the crop. A correspondent in 1 j Berkeley county estimates that on his own 1 farm he will make 300 pounds of short cot- t ; ton per acre and 1G0 pounds of long cotton, ] ! and his immediate neighbors will possibly realize even better results, but that in his I opinion the crop generally will not exceed : 1 sixty pounds of long cotton and 150 pounds ( of short cotton per acre. The correspon- 3 dent on James Island estimates the yield 1 of cotton at 200 pounds per acre. Many 1 nf the enrresnnndents believe that the cron ? will bo gathered by the 1st of November! | at the latest. The weather ha*? been excep- i tionally favorable for picking. The indicated yield at this time is: In upper Carolina i 148 pounds of lint per acre; middle Carolina 144 pounds per acre, and in lower Carolina 165 pounds per acre. Average for the State 152 pounds, against 130 pounds last year. I The yield of corn per acre is estimated as 1 follows: Early planted bottom corn 37 bushels; replanted on bottoms 10 bushels; early planted upland 10 bushels; late planted uplands 5 bushels. i The small grain crop, wheat and oats, j was one of the largest, if n ot the largest ever j gathered in the State, but the harvest sea-! son was very unfavorable, and the crop, oats | particularly, was damaged in the field after being cut. The yield per acre of oats is estimated at 15 bushels and of wheat 9 bush- j els per acre. The quality of the grain is! reported by about one-half of the eorres-1 pondents as the same as last year, one-fourth j regard it as better, and the balance think ; it inferior to last year's crop. Under date of last Friday the Department of Agriculture at Washington published its report for the month of September. The returns of cotton indicate a reduction of nearly eight points in average of the condition, from 82./) to 74.7, as the result of the continued drought, in arresting the develop- < ment and destroying the vitality of the plants. The prospect of a top crop is reduced to a minimum. The drought has been general and its effect manifest in every , State. Of ten successive crops, only two tiave averaged a lower condition in October. ; These were in 1881 and 1888, when the averiges were 66 and 68 respecti vely. The aver... A -i ono i ige was 88 in tne great crop year 01 100-. ; 8tate averages are as follows: Virginia 81, North Carolina 79, South Carolina 80, Keorgia 79, Florida 8-1, Alabama 74, Mississippi 70, Louisiana 77, Texas G2, Arkansas HI, Tennessee 85. Returns of local estimates if yield per acre in fractions of bales indicate an average rate of yield of 36-100 of a : bale per acre. The yield of corn will average 26 bushels to the acre, in breadth appproximating 70,- J >00,000 acres. The average in South Carolina is 83. The wheat crop of the United , States will exceed that of last year by about 100,000,000 bushels. SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS. ?Judge Pressley has recovered his usual health and is again on the bench. ?

In 1882, although the rest of the State ticket went Republican, the fusion Democratic- , Grreenbacker party elected their Governor ^Bcgole) by 4,572 over Jerome. This year ' the Democrats and Greenbackers have again ' fused their electoral tickets and probably on a pure party vote will poll within 10,000 . of the Republican vote. ] But the Prohibitionists have nominated f m electoral ticket and St. John will stump die State. Their vote two years ago was >,854. Since then the Republican majority In the State Legislature has cheated them l oy promising to submit a prohibitory t imendment and failing to do so. As a con- i sequence the strict Prohibitionists have i greatly increased in numbers and have < Irawn largely upon the Republican ranks. 3 The lowest Republican estimate of their 1 wte is 15,000, and their candidate for Gov- ^ irnor will get 5,000Methodist votes besides. ] STearly every one of these comes from the i Republicans. j There is besides a powerful Independent .; aartv, led in this city by such Republicans 3 is Win.

C It is pleasant to be kindly remembered by t friends, and when the token comes from unsel- J lish childhood it is still more appreciable. We C therefore tender our kindest acknowledgements 2 to Master Augustus Deal, of Black's Station, for the present of a basket of nice sweet potatoes, ( received from him the other day. BISHOP HOWE. Bishop Howe; of this Diocese made a visit to S this parish last week, the occasion being the t conducting of services in the Church of the ~ Good Shepherd-on Wednesday, Thursday and ' Friday.

J From all sections of the country we have re- ( ports of an unprecedented drought, in conse- t quence of which water courses are failing, and "] the effects on vegetation are being perceptibly ^ felt. The same condition applies in this locality. } Here it has not rained since the 11th of Soptem- t bor, and the prospect of an early rain is as re- t mote to-day as it was one month ago. The temr perature is remarkably warm for the season, in C consequence of which cotton is opening more 3 rapidly than the planters can have it gathered. ( The streams in the county are drying rapidly 3 also, and in some cases we hear of mills that c have been forced to stop for want of water. BAIL, GRANTED. ? As stated in our last issue, Sylvanus Thorn- c burg appeared before Chief Justice Simpson j at Columbia, on habeas corpus proceedings, on 1 Wednesday evening of liust week, petitioning ( for release from jail on bail, the charge against S him being arson. Thornburg was represented t by Major Hart, of Yorkville, and Col. Youmans, ' of Columbia, and the State by Captain Bacliman, ( of Columbia, acting for Solicitor Gaston. A * number of affidavits were read, and after a fur- k thcr hearing the Court granted bail in the sum * of $2,000. Up to this writing the bond has not J been made. Previous to this application for ^ bail Thornburg gavo bond for his appearance for trial on the charge of retailing spirituous ^ liquors without a license. r CHURCH NOTICES. Presbyterian?Rev. T. R.

J During the summer, Tom Ballard, the barber, made three jugs of blackberry wine, which he stored away in a closet of his house, where, as he ^ thought, it would be secure from thieves, but ? yet convenient of access by him in case of snake f bite or other sudden emergency. But in the fancied security of his juice of the berry he was jj mistaken, for on Thursday night last, thieves entered his house and took therefrom two of the lugs, and apparently, with the view of adding s insult to injury, on tho following night the jugs, F miptied of their contents, were returned to tho J place from which they were taken, with the fol- J? lowing note, bearing no signature, attached to J me of them, evidently in the handwriting of j, ?ne not accustomed to tho use of a pen : r Mr Ballard Your Wine was very nice I will _ return the Jugs again as yow might ned them i gain it was very norishing this hot Weather much thanks to the gentleman Whow helped mo I gel. it J fi JURORS?SECOND WEEK.

Latham, Al- " sxander <k Co., Wall street, New York, a copy a! )f the eleventh annual edition of their book en- ? itled "Movement and Fluctuations of Cotton," ^ vliich contains much that is of interest to the a niblic, and especially to all connected with cot- ^ on. The volume is handsomely printed and ~ jound, in keeping with the unique style of those (j hat have preceded it, and contains accurate and r< londensed tables giving the fluctuations, re:eipts, stocks, supply and distribution of cotton 3( or many years past; besides, also articles writ- l> on by Hon. George B. Loring, Commissioner of q Agriculture, and Joseph Mimmo, Jr., Chief of si Bureau of Statistics, Treasury Department. Both h 4 rticles give much information valuable to the otton trade, and which has never before been ublished. The book is not published for sale, iut for gi-atuitous distribution among the cusomers of its enterprising publishers, and it arms a valuable acquisition to the statistical ! mblieations of the day. C AMPAIGN SUBSCRIPTION. The following amounts, for campaign purposs have been collected in Yorkville: iy W. B. McCaw, Precinct Chairman, to pay $15 assessed against Yorkville precinct ?17 00 Jv C. E.

The amount was di ideil as follows: k>r National campaign purposes $.'50 25 'or State purposes..:...". 70 25 York county is assessed for $193. The tickets lone for this county will cost about $100. The Jounty Executive Committee assessed Yorkille and Rock Hill each $15, and each of the ther precincts $10. It is to be hoped that no irecinct will raise less than its assessment. Correspondence of the Yorkvllle Enquirer. - LETTER FROM CHESTER. Chester, October 14.?Maj. T. W. Woodyard was in our town during the meeting if the Judicial Convention. His multiude of friends were glad to see him. On ilonday evening when the Committee vere devising a plan to break the deadock, the Major entertained the Convenion and all present with some remarks if a highly pleasing character. He spoke orcibly and eloquently, and was consideraily cheered when he closed. The Major is onfident that the Democracy will carry Fairfield county. The Democrats are well irganized in that county, and will, without loubt, give the Democratic ticket a good ound majority on the day of election. Farmers are complaining of the short :rop of cotton and of the small price obained for it. There are many who will lold for higher prices. The great majority >f farmers will be compelled to sell as soon is possible to meet present obligations. The (Stimate generally placed upon the crop is )ne-half of an average crop. It is quite jrobable that with a late fall there will be nuch improvement in this estimate. A protracted drought and a protracted ipell of hot weather prevailed here for some lme. Weeks elapsed since rain of any con ;equence fell m our county, wucn intense leat was never experienced before at this leason of the year. Joined to the heat was he dust, which was almost intolerable. The hot spell came to an end on last Friday, o the great relief of suffering humanity. Henry Love, colored, was brought by deputy Marshal Beckham on last Thursday lefore Commissioner Galbraith on the iharge of selling intoxicating liquors with>ut paying the special tax. A preliminary ixarainatlon being held, the accused, not >eing able to give bail, was committed to ail to await his trial at the February term >f the United States Court at Greenville. The Agricultural, Mechanical and Horti:ultural Asssociation of Chester, York, ^airfield and Lancaster will hold its annual ?air at this place beginning on Tuesday, !2th instant, and will continue four days. The preparations that are being made give >romise of a very successful Fair. The lifferent departments will contain exhibits hat will justify the large crowd anticipated. Though the minds of the people are somevhat diverted by the elections soon to be leld, there is good reason for believing that he next Fair at this place will be one of he most attractive yet held. The fall term of the Circuit Court for this :ounty met yesterday, Judge Cothran preiding. The grand jury was organized, with ?apt. S. Carlisle as foreman, and received ome instructions from the Judge as to their luties. Two indictments, one against Abler "SVilks, colored, charged with carrying :oncealed weapons, and one against Charles Thompson, colored, charged with carrying :oncealed weapons, were laid before the ury, and, retiring for consultation, they irought in true bills against the accused. Jharles Thompson plead guilty, and was lentenced to the payment of a fine of $2o or hree months in the penitentiary. He em>raced the latter alternative. In the case if Abner Wilks, Mr. F. T. Morgan conducted the prosecution in behalf of the State, solicitor Gaston being indisposed and se:ured the conviction of the defendant, who ,vas sentenced to six months in the peniteniary. The grand jury found a true bill in ;he case of the State vs. Berry Sanders, colired, charged with rape. The prosecuting vitness in this case is Nancy Peak, white. Pho arnnd inrv found a true bill flfrainst VIoses Hope, Butler Campbell and Lewis Liowry, colored, charged with riot. The Jourt was engaged in the afternoon in the rial of those defendants. The jury could lot agree on a verdict. The prosecuting vitness was R. II. Neely. The Court will ie engaged to-day in the trial of the Locker ase. He is charged with obtaining money inder false pretences. Mrs. Logan is the irosecuting witness. m. POLITICAL NOTES. ? Gen. Grant declined to fill the vacancy >n the New York electoral ticket caused by j he removal of the colored man, Derrick, md then the executive committee took A. V. Tourgee up. Republican electoral tim>er must be scarce this year in New York. ? The New York World publishes an auograph letter from Warren Fisher, Jr., of loston, declaring that Blaine authorized dm to pay Mulligan $10,000 for the famous etters, and requested that he and Mulligan ;o to Europe and remain until after the lection at Blaine's expense. ? People should not be misled by the peeches of the Republican candidate. For turposes of his own he does not go back of 860 in his statistical history of the country ; iut the United States was in existence some ime previous to that date, and it is wrong 0 infer that we had no Government, no tartf, no prosperity, no manufactures, no agicultural interests until the Republicans ame into power. ? Considerable sensation was created at Iinton, West Virginia, the other day. by ohn A. Logan, the Republican candidate ir Vice-President, insulting a man named Vest. West walked up to Logan and said: 1 am glad, sir, to shake hands with a man ,'ho raised a Confederate regiment in Illiois during the war." Logan said : "You re a liar, sir," and taking a chew of toacco out of his mouth threw it into West's ice. There was great indignation felt at Iinton against Logan. ? A correspondent writing from JohnsDwn, Pa., asserts that officers of the Camria Iron Works at that place, having failed 3 secure pledges from their employees of a Slid support of Blaine and Logan, ordered fiem a lew days ago to report at the office f the company for formation into a Blaine nd Logan club. This, the correspondent ,..o tTfiotur nf thmn rpfnvjpfl tn rln. whoreiinon VJO, "JUUJ w* v..v.M g' lieir services were dispensed with. Some f the laborers attempted to be coerced have tfne to Pittsburg and others are seeking mployment in the steel works at Cumberind, 3Id. --It is stated in Washington that certain spresentatives of the Louisiana State Lotjry have promised the National Republican ommittee at New York to give the electoil vote of Louisiana to Blaine. The conideration is that if Blaine be elected he is } arrange it so that the Louisiana Lottery ompany is to have unrestricted use of the lails in the transaction of its business, 'he Lottery Company, under the.arrangelent, is to deliver promises to purchase the lectoral vote of the State if they cannot get ;in any other way. It is the most mon;rous proposition ever heard of in politics. ? A Boston dispatch of the 9th says that le latest report there concerning the But>r campaign is that he is considering the dvisability of coming openly just before the lection and telling his friends that it would I e best for them to vote directly for Blaine, j L leading Democrat in Boston says that I number of the People's party told him I lat such a step was in contemplation. The i rowth of the Butler party in Massachusetts : oes not seem to keep pace with the prog- j iss of the campaign. At the Democratic ' eadquarters they do not allow him above ),000 votes, and say his followers are daily | ecoming fewer. At the Independent headuarters they allow him 40,000, and Butler's irewdest calculators are privately placing is vote at 00,000. I Tiie Trade Prospect.?Almost without exception the statements made by the gentlemen prominent in the manufacture and sale of clothing, in the dry goods trade, in the boot and shoe trade, in millinery and hats, in general groceries, in the hardware and in the drug trades, are marked by confidence and hope. The view in general that, though the margin is smaller and the money value of sales is less, the amount of goods sold this year is nearly as great as last year, and in some cases considerably greater. Purchases are made in smaller quantities, but more frequently. Credits are notably reduced, but payments are more prompt and sure. Greater caution is observed as to overstocking, but the demand is steady and the movement is regular and healthy. The expectation of those most familiar with the situation is that the net result of the year's business, when the usual annual inventory is taken in January, will be decidedly more satisfactory than it has been for the last two years. Whether"hard pan" has been touched in Wall street or not it is impossible to say, but that it has been reached in general commerce, and that the tendency is now definitely and decidedly, though not strongly, in the opposite direction, there is no doubt. Ultimately the course of prices on exchange will follow in the same way. Happily there is not much prospect of intermediate and rapid rise, and the chance for anything like an extensive "bull" speculation in the street is remote. But the evidence is cleary preponderating in favor of the substantial value of the principle securities there. The difficulty of obtaining money for legitimate trade upon available collaterals is likely to diminish rather than to i ncrease. The general prospect is no w more definitely encouraging than it has been in the last twenty months?New York Times. MERE-MENTION. Charles W. Butler, a noted criminal, a son of Dr. George Butler, a wealthy physician, of Columbus, Ohio, was hanged at Columbia City, Indiana, last Friday, for the murder of his wife, on the 29th of last Septem-* ber. Prohibition in Georgia has no political significance. Members elect to the legislature on that ticket are all Democrats. It is computed that 90 per cent. of the so-called olive oil sold in this country is made of cotton seed. We ought to make our own oil or import Italians to do it here instead of abroad. Gen. Mur ray, a Federal officer, who was one of the originators of decoration day, and who led the first procession that marched with martial music to place flowers on the graves of deceased soldiers, died last week at Senaca Falls, N. Y. The Supreme Court of the United States met in Washington last Monday for the October term of 1884. The number of cases on the docket is 1,025, or fifty-four less than were docketed up to the corresponding time last year. A Nashville medical student has become insane because of "the horrors of the dissecting room." He hailed from Mississippi and had a weak stomach. The Sevexth District.?The Democrats of the Seventh or "Black District" held their Convention in Charleston on Thursday last, and after a full discussion of the situation it was resolved to put a candidate in the field. Col. William Elliott, of Beaufort, was unanimously nominated. He accepted the nomination and delivered a very stirring address, at the conclusion of which he resigned the Chairmanship of the Executive committee of the Seventh District. Col. J. Q. Marshall was elected to fill the vacancy. A number of strong speeches were made, and the convention adjourned amid great enthusiasm over the result of the meeting. An active canvass of the entire Seventh district wilLbe made and Bob Smalls will find that he will not have a walk-over. Arouse, Democrats !?We call on the Democratic hosts of Chester to bestir themselves at once for the work before them. C. C. Macoy, the Radical nominee for Congress in this District, is doing and will continue to do everything in his power to rally his supporters in solid column. Our people are acquainted with the tactics of the Radicals in the county since the Democrats came into power; they work stealthily. We should not be deceived by their apparent quiet and inactivity. All Democrats must be active and vigilant; giving Mr. Hemphill such a majority that our enemies will not dare to dispute his election.?Chester Reporter. Jmancral aiti (Lommtrnal.
