f craps and facts.
? 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.
? The commercial position of New Orleans
is threatened by the course of the Atchafaya
river which has been developed from a
creek to a river from forty to fifty feet deep
by the freshets in the Mississippi in the last

new bed and leave New Orleans away from
deep water, as Vicksburg has been left.
? 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

will be unable to hold back their crops, and
the product will of necessity be sold rapidly
at current rates whatever they may be."
? 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.

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. He ;
is confined to his house and seldom goes
on the streets.

The methods by which the nomination !'

an admirable solicitor, none doubt. He is 1

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.

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. !

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.

State in November is at least doubtful. 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. G. Thompson and reinforced by ^
nany prominent merchant, manufacturers .
ind snip-owners formerly identified with J
;he Republican party. And this Independ- ;
int movement is strong throughout the ]
state. If anything more were needed to 1
rill Republican prospects in November, the i
:inal blow is given in the announcement }
;hat Blaine is going thero to stump for his *(
Darty. . j

Another Runaway Double Wed- i
ding.?Last Thursday night at about 12
/clock, Trial Justice T. G. Gulp, of Fort '
Mill, S. C., was aroused from his slumbers j {
jy a knocking at his door, and got up to j r
ind two lovesick couples on his steps. lie j \
isked what they wanted, and the young j
nen told him to put on something and let J
:hein in as they wanted to get married.
The trial justice threw on his garments, '
iumed up the lights, opened his doors and j
et them in, when the preliminaries were i
irranged, the two couples paid him .$2 each, I
md were duly married. They were, "as I
lsual, from Cabarrus county, and had gone !
;o Fort Mill to get married to avoid the j
North Carolina law which prohibits the is- i1
iuance of a license to a girl under age, both j
:he brides in this case not having attained j1
;heir majority. This is the sixth couple ! I
narried in this manner in Fort Mill lately, j1
Esquire Culp wants it understood that here- j1
ifter when his services are needed, if the i1
expectant couples will telegraph him, he j <
vill meet them at the depot and hitch 'em : c
juicker than lightning. This thing of f
cnocking him up at night is becoming too j t
:oinmon, and he is kicking against it.? 11

yC THE DROUGHT. 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

yC ADDING INSULT TO INJURY. 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

A VALUABLE BOOK. JJ
We have received from Messrs. 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. Spencer, of State Ex. Com., 90 00
Total $107 00
All of the above was paid by citizens of Y'orkille.
except $11 contributed by candidates who
ive outside of the town. 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

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
