Europe will be represented tl as well as every section of this country. 0j ? It is reported that the anti-prohibition- ti ists in Atlanta are preparing for another se election. A secret meeting of whisky H men was held the other night to prepare 2( for the campaign. It is said $100,000 has re been subscribed, and that the new morn- si ing paper is to be the anti organ. b< ? The Secretary of War has approved in the request of the Ex-Confederate Assoei- ni ation at Chicago to erect a memorial to the ? Confederate dead buried in the goverment <* lot in Oakland Cemetery, near that city, (j under such regulations as may be prescribed by the Quartermaster General. ? Mr. Robert T. Lincoln declares he will not accept the nomination for Vice President and that he is not anxious for the nomination for President. He says that he has seen enough or lire at tne vvnne House to convince him that it is "a gilded prison." ? When Farmer E. D. Higby, of Tocsin, 111., went to his well to draw a pail of water the other morning he found where ? the water had been nothing but a black hole, which up to date had been unfathomed. This is one of the instances on record of the bottom dropping out of a well. 1 ? The Augusta Chronicle states that the ? leading prohibitionists of Georgia do not contemplate moving for a general or State prohibition law, being satisfied with the .. results of local option which has resulted in prohibition prevailing, in one shape or C another, in 120 out of 127 counties in Geor- si Kia. bi ? A Georgia colored woman named Nar- gt cissa, who weighs 480 pounds, wished to ej go on a journey recently, and purchased one railroad ticket for the purpose. But the door of the car was not wide enough e: - * ? J . r .1 f, to admit ner, ana as tne conductor reiuseu to cut away the door-posts, she had to li make the journey in a baggage car. She threatens to sitdown on those railroad offi- ? clals, but they hope she will refrain. ^ ? The Jessamine county, Ky., grand jury D, has excited much interest and earned genuine praise by certain courageous indict- ?( ments against politicians. The list in- d eludes a county judge, presented for as- b< sault and.battery; a representative-elect, aj indicted for carrying concealed weapons; 0] the county jailor, against whom the bill was based on the reception of a fraudulent vote, and so on. ? An attempt to wreck a train for the purpose of robbery is reported from Lebanon^. About 2 o'clock Thursday morn- w ing, as a train of eleven cars, with 500 pas- o! sengers, was returning from Cincinnati, c( the engineer encountered at a point a mile w from Lebanon an obstruction made of rail- C( road ties and fence rails. By good fortune the train had stopped only a short distance SJ before it to let off some passengers and ei had not obtained sufficient speed to be se- v riously injured when the obstruction was reached. tl ? To John Sevier, whose bones now lie bi in an unmarked grave near Decatur, Ala., s? it is now proposed to erect a monument, g Colonel Sevier led one of the attacking tl columns at the famous battle of King's g Mountain. In recognition of his gallant- d ry in this fight, the legislature of North c< Carolina voted him a sword. He subse- d quently became the first Governor of Ten- ai nessee. The plan is to transfer his re- tc mains to Knoxville, Tenn., and there to tl erect a becoming monument. w ? At 1 o'clock last Saturday morning one tl hundred masked men took Charles Coleman, colored, from the jail at Flemings- S burg, Ky., and hanged him to the railroad " trestle in rear of the Baptist Church.

Both women positive- ft ly identified him when he was captured. n ? A New Orleans dispatch says: South- ^ em newspapers have recently stated that the new regulation of the Cotton Exchage f of this city gave notice that after Septem- ^ ber 1, cotton buyers in all interior towns would deduct from bales weighing under " 400 pounds ? cent per pound, and from H bales weighing under 350 pounds ? cent " per pound, rejecting all bales under 300 * g)unds. Superintendent Powers, of the t xchange says that the two first statements were unfounded, but the third was correct. No merchant can be compelled to take a bale weighing less than 300 pounds. n ? Sioux City, Iowa, is to have a corn el carnival, commencing on the 8th of Octo- v: ber in honor of the immense crop of corn Si which is now being harvested in that prolific region. A corn palace, to a great ex- tl tent,constructed of and decorated with corn C( and other grain products, is to be reared. The principal streets will have triumphal b< arches, adorned with statuary and picto- ri rial representations in corn and grasses; jr the ladies will wear onaments of grain, and corn will be enthroned asking. Sl ? At the Mercer county, Mo., fair, last o< "Wednesday afternoon, Randall Blakslee, a hi half-breed Indian, made.a balloon ascension, hanging to a trapeze bar. The bal- te loon shot up suddenly, giving Blakslee a cc wrench, and he was unaole to pull himself di on the bar, but managed to hold himself ct up by the loop which he had drawn around ft his wrist. After traveling about a mile and a half, and reaching the altitude of 2,000 feet, the balloon began to descend, but the poor fellow's strength gave out, and when within 500 feet of the earth his grip relaxed, and he fell, lighting on his feet in a corn field, his thighs being broken j r and driven into the trunk of his body. a, ? The police of Charlotte, N. C., arrested fr a few days ago a young man name J. I. ai Green, upon the charge of the burglary of M Mr. W. J. Yates' residence. Some of the tl stolen booty was found in his possession, fr but it remains to be proven that he is the tl man who entered the house. It is believ- ri ed he had confederates in the work, but oi still it is thought he is in a close place. The Charlotte Chronicle says: The young se man Green is a South Carolinian, and is*a v< citizen of Sumter. He is about 19 years fr old, and is a son of the late Judge Green, tl who was the independent-coalition candi- sc date for governor of South Carolina in Is 1874. tc ? A dispatch of Friday from Waco, Tex- al as, says that every bridge in Hill county cc was washed away by rains and the damage a] to crops and farms will not fall short of gi $100,000. In Bosque county and along the line of the Sante Fe Railway the damage si is also very heavy. Of the little towns ni here, Iredell, Whitney, Hico and Aquillo F have suffered most. The railroad compa- si nies have suffered severely. It is believed h: that the Central and Missouri Pacific roads tc are the heaviest losers. The Missouri Paciflc has a force of nearly 1,000 men at work ei on the line near Grand View. A train on tl the road was detained between Itasca and ol Grand View from Monday night till Thurs- O day evening. It was out on the prairie nine miles from any house, and many of T the passengers suffered for lack of food. ir ? Josiah Terrell was hanged in the Ohio y penitentiary at Columbus, at 12.30 last ^ Friday morning, .tie prumaiumu jus ju- . nocence after he had been brought upon ? the scaffold. The execution took place in the annex at the penitentiary, and about fifty person witnessed it. He slept well up to 11 P. M., and then ate a lunch, and g after smoking was ready to proceed to the scaffold. His exhibition of nerve was l something wonderful, and those who had ^ seen many hanged before stated that they jc had never witnessed one in which there y, was so much quiet determination exhibi- L ted. He was accused of the murder and ^ robbery of an old miser named Phelps, on q January 6th last. Terrell was convicted e, wholly on circumstantial evidence, the cj stolen articles being found in his possession and positively identified. ? "The recent attempt made by some ci French aerooauts to reach a great height b< above the earth has not been productive rr of any particulor scientific results," says M the London Spectator. "The balloon in fa which the ascent was made reached an al- id titude of 20,000 feet without the occupants ni of the car experiencing any ill effects ex-1 L ipt a tendency to faintness on the part ol le of them. When about twelve years jo a similar attempt was made, and the sight'of 25,000 feet was reached, it was ith fatal results to three out of the foui jronauts. The success of the present exsriment is explained by the allegation lat the difficulties due to the rarefaction ? the atmosphere only begin at an altiide of 23,000 or 24,000 feet. This view iems supported by the fact that, in the iimalays and the Andes, heights of about >,000 feet have been on several occasions lached without any inconvenience. Ie ich cases, however, the ascent has always sen gaadual. The ill effects experienced i balloons are possibly due to the suddeness of the change." JfcegiatMle (Ntjuim. YORKVILLE, S. C. : WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7,1887. THE TRADE OP CHARLESTON. The News and Courier of Monday pub shes an elaborate review of the trade o: harleston the past commercial year. II lows a heavy falling off in cotton-receipts ut a heavy gain in the receipts of nava ores and domestics. The amount of gen al wholesale and retail trade and o: lanufactures is three million dollars ir >ccess of the previous year. The tota ade is over sixty-six and a quarter mil on dollars, only six hundred thousand ollars leas than last year, despite the di linished cotton receipts. The review o le earthquake's work shows that in th( ast year over six thousand buildings have gen rebuilt or repaired and that two hun> red and seventy-one new buildings hav( gen erected. The review is most encour rinir for the future commercial prospect* f the "City by the Sea." BEN BUTLER S SCHEME. Ben Butler's speech last Thursday after oon, before the Butler Club of Boston hich on that day celebrated the capture f Fort Hatteras on the North Caroline >ast, was characteristic. The speech was as for the greater part devoted to th( jnsideration of the treasury surplus. He lid he was in fav/irof distributing thii aormous sum equitably and make a ser ice pension. He continued: "When we were carrying on. this wai le Nation borrowed money upon its onds from the bankers, and we may nov ly it without offence, made the best bar ain it could, and the Nation has owec lem a debt which it promised to pay ir old and has paid every dollar of it that ii ue. Now, the soldier had a debt, the jnsideration of which was blood anc eath?one that was certainly as solemr adjust a debt as any any other, and w? >ok our pay in greenbacks. Distribute lis extra money among us and you come rithin about lo per cent, of making the ling equal?not more. "A part of this money belongs to th< outh. Almost seventeen years ago I saic 1 Congress that I looked forward to th( ay when we should give relief to the isabled Confederate soldiers. I was m ucl riticised at the time for saying it, but] m ready here and now, whether it is wit! bloquy or with praise, to say: As soor i we have rewarded the men who fough' >r the Union I'm content that the surplui loney of the United States shall be taker >r the purpose of administering to th< ecessities of the Confederate soldiers o le South, who were not to blame for thii rar, but are the only sufferers by it. "But I want to say another thing to my iends of the North and South. We nev r shall be able to relieve the necessities f the wounded and maimed Confederates ntil every Union soldier is rewarded foi is valor and loyalty. And the quickei very man votes for that the quicker he ill bring about this act of magnanimity ) the Southern people." THE WEATHER TNI) THE CROPS. The South Carolina weather service fur ishes the following data concerning the ifect of the weather conditions on the arious crops during the week ending lasl aturday: The rainfall for the week has been below le average, and has been favorable foi itton, which needed dry weather. The temperature has been considerably slow the average, and has had an inju ous effect on cotton, preventing the open lg and maturing of the bolls. There has been the average amount o: inshine which has been favorable, bui tving to the prevailing cool winds cotton as not been materially benefitted. Cotton has been retarded by the low imperature, and especially the cool nights msequently no improvement in its con ition can be reported. Corn and all othei ops are reported in fine condition ant] illy up to the average. THE SIGNAL SERVICE REPORT. The following: is the weather crop bulle n of the signal office at Washington foi le week ending September 3: During the week ending September 3 le weather has been colder than usual 1 the lake region, Ohio Valley, Southern id Atlantic States, and unusually colc1 om Maryland southwestward to Georgia id Alabama. In the tobacco regions o! [aryland, Virgina and North Carolina le daily average temperature ranged om G to 9 degrees below the normal. In le corn region West of the Mississippi ver the temperature has been normal slightly above. The daily average temperature for the :ason, from January 1 to September 3 gry generally differs less than one degree om the normal in all districts, excepting lat for Missouri, and from central Dakota mthward over the western portions ol ebraska and Kansas it varies from one > two degrees above the normal, and iong the South Carolina and Georgia ?sts from one to two degrees below, and long Lake Superior from two three derees below. During the week the rainfall has beer ightly in excess from eastern Texas orthward to the Missouri valley. In lorida and the upper portion of the Misppi valley, and in other sections there as been a slight deficiency, amounting > about one inch in the South Atlantic id Middle Atlantic States. The defiency for the season continues large ir le lower Mississippi valley and portions i Illinois and Iowa, exceeding ten inches, ver 100 per cent, of the usual amount of lin fell in the past month from eastern exas northward to the -Missouri valley, l the northern portion of Illinois, south n portion of Wisconsin and from western 'irginia to northeastern Georgia. Less lan 50 per cent, of the usual rainfall has sen reported from the lower Mississippi alley, central Alabama, southern Illinois ad the greater portion of Ohio. Frosts occurred in central Michigan, Aulist ;>0 and 31. The Land Loan Companies.?The and and Loan Associations that comlenced business in Georgia five years ago, ianing money on farms for that term oi ears, are rapidly foreclosing their mortages and getting judgments against the nlortunate farmers in the United States ourts. Farmers will do well to be warnI in time and resort to every known spees of economy to get out of debt rathei lan borrow money that is often not wiser expended and in the end brings flnanal ruin to the home it was intended tc snefit. We might strengthen our argulent by stating that the Farmer's Tribune, [inneapolis, Minnesota, in a successful rming region, contains two and a half solI pages, in the finest type, of foreclosure otices, of the Northwestern Guaranty oan Company.?Southern Cultivator. f Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. ] LETTER FROM CHESTER. 1 Chester, September 5.?On last Tues- j day evening the young people . in and around Cornwell's gave an entertainment j for their own pleasure and that of tbeir . friends. It was held at Aurora Academy, and consisted of charades, tableaux J and recitations. The occasion was honored with a good audience, representing persons not only from the immediate vicinity, but from this and other places. The Ches- , ter Luminaries were present, and by their \ fine playing contributed to the pleasure ( L of the evening. Major J. K.

The , following tableaux were presented with fine effect: "The Reaper and the Flower," "Rock of Age?" and "Come to Dinner." . Miss Katie Mockbee, Miss Maggie Corn- ] well and Miss Lillie Lemons delighted the , audience with their charming recitations of beautiful selections. The entertainment gave great pleasure to all present. On the night of the fearful earthquake last year, Rev. Mr. Tray wick, a Methodist minister in this county, was holding services in one of his churches. The meeting continued for several days and was blessed , in a considerable increase of the membership. Mr. Traywick determined to be found at the same place at the same time this year and engaged in the same good work. So he was there, at New Hope : Church, on last Wednesday night, and preached with his accustomed earnestness to a good congregation. Fortunately the services were not interrupted by a repetition of the disaster that produced last year i such consternation in the congregation. The late earthquake shakes at several places in this State created some uneasiness in the minds of our people as the first anniversary of the awful disaster approached, i But they laid themselves down to sleep on last Wednesday night and rested without any rude awakening. That was a perfect night. The moon spread her silvery mantle on the face of nature, and mother earth was calm and undisturbed by a i single quiver.

I A petition was in circulation here last ' week among the business men, looking 1 to the removal of Mr. G. R. Talcott from > the position of superintendent of the railj roads in this State leased by the Richmond 5 and Danville system. The petition, which , is addressed to Mr. E. B. Thomas, general 5 manager of the Richmond and Danville ' system, alleges that "Mr. Talcott is not acceptable to the patrons of the roads in r question, and asks that some one who will 3 more fully appreciate the needs of the r people be appointed." It has been gener ally signed by our merchants. I Mr. Matthew White and his son, Dr. i G. B. White, have returned from their s trip to the North West.

The last few days t have been very favorable for the farmers, 3 who are taking advantage of it, and are t busily engaged in saving fodder, except 3 those on the river who had the misfortune f tolose both corn and fodder. 3 Crowing to the inclemency of the weather on Saturday last, the picnic which was 7 to have been near Mr. Geo.

The New York Sun of Tuesday says : i The cotton speculation receiyed a little > fresh blood yesterday, and took on a live lier aspect than it had worn for some time past. The new impulse came from the neighborhood of the Stock Exchange, and was ?n the bull side of the market. It came with a report of disaster to the crop > in Arkansas, by which the probable out turn in that State was reduced 100,000 , bales. It was also asserted on the authorii ty of a brief paragraph, from the Agricultu ral Bureau at Washington that the entire ( crop was injured 20 per cent, in August. r On these pointers an early decline, caused by large receipts at the ports, was soon $ recovered. Then came the conjecture the there was a purpose to corner Septembei The visible supply of American cotto in the markets of the world is the smalles in many years, being 123,300 bales les than one year ago, and 227,000 less tha three years ago; while the entire stocks i American markets are only 116,500 bale against 226,000 bales one year ago. Spir tiers, at home and abroad, do not seem t have much cotton on hand, for the d( mand from them is so urgent as to suppoi and advance prices. The new crop mu: come forward very freely to supply th deficiency above shown ; hence the projeci ed corner. The bulls may find, howeve; that there is very little short interest i September for them to work upon, whil the regular demand may not be more ui gent than can be'met by the increased ft cilities of moving the crop?which, b the way, is somewhat earlier than las year. ?So the matter stands. With regard to the next crop, a genth man who gives close attention to the mal ter (and who has, thus early in the seasor estimated several crops with remarkabl accuracy), estimates that it will yield li tie if any less than seven million Daie; But for the injury done it in the pa; month it would, he thinks, have reacne 7,500,000; and on this estimate some of th bears are looking for very low prices fc the winter months. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. A SAD AND SHOCKING SUICIDE. Union, S. C., September 5.?The shoe to this community, on Sunday mornin last, when it was announced that Mi John Bramlett had killed himself th night beiore,can better be imagined tha here described. Mr. Bramlett retired t his room atibnt li o'clock Saturday nigh in good health and spirits, seemingly, t all who saw him just before going to hi room. Early Sunday morning the sei vant who attends to Mr. Bramlett's roor knocked at the door as usual and receivin no response went back down to the stoi and told the proprietor that he could n( wake Mr. Bramlett, and something wf wrong. Upon this a step-ladder was take to the door of Mr. Bramlett's room, and man got into the room through the trai som. v Mr. Bramlett was lying on the bed, ur dressed as if he had lain there to sleej It was upon examination found that h was stiff dead. A note was found on th little table near the bed, addressed to n one in particular, in which was written : "I have nothing in this world to liv for; no pleasure here for me. Don't griev for me, friends and relatives. What is f be will be. I don't believe there is an hereafter." A glass tumbler was also on the tab! the contents of which he had evident! drank. There was a slight sediment of white looking powder on the glass. Whj the poison was that he took is not full as yet ascertained by the examining phj sician, who says that there was evident of convulsions, though Mr. Bramlettseen ed to have died calmnly. His arms wei crossed upon his breast, his right han clutched tightly the left arm above tt elbow, and the shirt sleeve was slightl torn where the hand grasped. About a year ago Mr. Bramlett cam here and entered the drug store of Dr.. W. Posey & Bro., as clerk, in which ci pacity he gained many friends. He is native of Laurens county. He was in th drug store on the fatal Saturday night wit Dr. J. W. Posey?until about 10i o'clocl at which hour they were seen come ot together. Dr. P. went home and Bramle went up stairs to his room. In a sho time Bramlett was seen to come down th stairs, go back into the drug store and r< main in there a very short time. B came out, locked the door and went bac up the steps to his room. His mostui accountable suicide puzzles every one, e pecially those with whom he talked an laughed but a few minutes before he wei to his room on Saturday night. They sa that they never saw him in better spiri and heaith of mind and body. The Strang deed will eyer remain a mystery. He was aged about twenty-two year and leaves a father, mother, brothers an sisters. ' Occasional. Correspondence of the Yorkvllle Enquirer. LETTER FROM CLOVER.

J r- RAILROAD NOTES. < Mr. Ross, the contractor on the first fiye J miles east of town, is progressing very favorably with his work. He has a large force this i week near town at the intersection of his work . with that of Griffin it Gorton. Griffin it Gorton, who continue five miles j n west, have opened the ground on all their work |e and have a large force on, the greater part at j L> present employed on the western end. 3. It is understood that Smith it Lathrop will greatly increase their force, with the view of completing as early as possible their contract of six miles next west of Griffin it Gorton's. All the other contractors from Smith it j ? Lathrop's work to Black's are pushing forward ? d as rapidly as they can. k :t Capt. Lewis will finish his work on Fishing ^ 6 Creek trestle this week. It is 400 feet long and ? I- 45 feet high over low water mark. His force d is now on Manning Creek and Bullock's Creek trestles, the former 700 feet long and 80 feet rj e high, and the latter 1150 feet long and 45 feet v a high. i , The Shelby New Era says: "The poles for 8 the telegraph line of the Charleston, Cincinnati c p and Chicago Railroad Company have been dis- ( 'g tributed along tho completed portion of the o road and other materials are now arriving. In c e a few days tho erection of tho line will bo begun. { It is estimated that about fifteen days will bo h j required for the work. I "A branch of two miles is to be constructed _ from the main line of the C., C. A C. R. R. to > the Henrietta Mills, r.jw in course of erection e at High Shoals." ^ . V e WAS IT POISON ? t An incident involving somo mystery is ro- I l- ported to us as having occurred at the camp of F d Mr. Jackins' force on tho railroad work near a tl Hickory Grove, on Sunday last. About 1 P. >S M. on that day a well dressed man of good deportment rode up to the camp and inquired ? if a man was there by the name of William ? Carpenter, Jr. Ho was answered in tho afflrmative and Mr. Carpenter was called up by some rj ^ of tho men. Tho horseman introduced him- jj self as Mr. Littlejohn, and said as ho knew somo of Mr. Carpenter's people about Gaffif ney's, ho thought he would call and see him, e ? as he was passing by. After some further con- c . versation the stranger produced a bottle and offered Mr. Carpenter a drink. lie at lirst .. declined, saying to the donor, "You drink , first." The stranger excused himself, saying g I.' that ho took a drink just before reaching camp. c e but insisted on Mr. Carpenter taking some, y d Mr. Carpenter finally put the bottle to his o ll mouth and swallowed but a small quantity, e 6 when the horseman took tho bottle, returned it s B to his pocket and rodo away. Soon thereafter \ Mr. Carpenter was taken violently sick, with d ymptoms of poisoning. He summoned Dr. . Wistar Allison, who concluded that there -'ere evidences of slight poisoning and treated fr. Carpenter accordingly. The horseman fas an entire stranger to Mr. Carpenter, who i now convinced that an attempt was made to -oison him. THE RIGHT OF WAY CASES. Our statement last week as to the decision of he arbitrators in the case of right of way ver the lands of Mr. J. W. Dobson was only artially correct. The arbitrators awarded him 110 for right of way over land near the depot rounds, but failing to agree as to the award ar right of way over a tract owned by him irther east of town, their deliberations ended fithout a binding conculsion in either case. Ir. Dobson then, through counsel, applied to udge Witherspoon for an order to give him jury to assess his damage, which motion is iow pending before the Judge. It would seem, [Owever, that there is some doubt about Mr. )obson's right to a jury until after the com letion of the road, as he allowed the thirty ays' notice to expire without compelling the ompany to move for a jury. From the award of the jury in the cases of Vithers Adickes and William Turner, allowng the former 8100 and the latter ?150 damages, ho Construction Company appealed to the Jourt of Common Ploas, tho damages being egarded. excessive.

The fame of Gordon's Hotel has been changed :o the "Central," and the old sign, which las stood in front of the house for years, ,vas last week taken down and one displaying the new name substituted.

Ridge Spring correspondence Neios and Courier: A suspicious looking young white man, riding a bay horse, was taken up near this place on Wednesday for examination. He gave hir name as John J. Walker, of Bellew Creek, Stokes county, N. C., but a letter was found in his pocket directed to his wife, at New Market, Randolph county, N. C., which revealed his name as D. H. Briles. Upon close questioning he was caught in numerous falsehoods, aDd upon being told that he must go to jail, he owned up that his name was 5. H. Briles, that the horse he had ' /as the property of H. T. Taylor, of Lewiedale, Lexington county, and that he had taken him to ride off but intended to return him. However, he was trying on his way to sell him. He said he was employed by Taylor to work, and in his absence he took t.hp hnrsp. Hp was riding- on a bed auilt which he took from the house. Upon very close quizzing, by his answers and evasions, he is suspected of being an escaped convict from the penitentiary of North Carolina. He was committed to Lexington jail. Beginning a Railroad.?Major J. W. Wilson, of Morganton, chief engineer of the Southern and Western Air-Line Railroad Company, arrived in Shelby on Monday afternoon, with a set of instruments for a surveying corps and prepared to begin the survey for nis company. He engaged Mr. T. Warren Clower, of Shelby, to take charge of the corps under his direction, and to begin work at once. Mr. Wm. C. Corbett, of Shelby, was also appointed to a place on the corps. The corps was organized at Fallston on Tuesday afternoon, after which work was begun on the line from there to Shelby. From Fallston three lines northward will be run, one direct to the gap in the South Mountain at Three County Corners, one to the same point by way of Schenck's factory, and one by way of Schenck's factory to Ward's Gap. A line will also be run from Shelby up the ridge on the west side of the First Broad river, and Major Wilson states, any other route that may bid fair to be practicable will be examined. Grading, he says, will be commenced before November 1, the time allowed in the terms of the subscription of Cleveland county.
