The necessity of a compulsory school law is beginning to be felt in Indiana, and Mr. LaFollette, State superintendent of schools, in his annual report to the Governor, recommends the enactment of such a law? Indiana has in round numbers $15,000,000 invested in school property, and expends $5,000,000 annually in keeping up the schools; but the average daily attendance is not over 25 per cent of y the enumeration and 50 per. cent of the enrollment. while the enrollment is not over 50 per cent of the enumeration. ? A dispatch- from Chamberlain, Dakota, says: "There is no doubt that the ?treat phenomenon in Charles Mix county s not caused by burning coal alone. There is a great volume of steam constant> ly issuing from the crevice, accompanied by a strong sulpurous odor and ligjht-colored smoke. The earth for manry feet about is warm.

The Northeffi and Southern committees are full. The object of the conference is to secure perfect co-operation between the assemblies, in lieu of the union which cannot be effected at present. The committees deliberate separately and in joint session. The proceedings were reported as progressing favorably at the close of Saturday's session. ^Ift^frenTCTnT&g the Southern men deliberated alone as di}kalso the Northern men/ In the afterhoNJ the opinions of both (sides were broughwPgether and the sgaaftm was adjourned untirMpnday. ^^he/proceedings are strictly private attufF tmfdecision will not be disclosed until the / meeting of the respective General Assem/ blies in May next. J ? At Monticeiio, JJrew county, Araansas, f last Friday, a drunken negro pushed a ' white man off the sidewalk and then gave him a vigorous cursing. The marshal tried to arrest the negro, but the latter resisted and a mob of about seventy-five blacks -s> immediately gathered to his aid. This brought out the whites, and revolvers, v shot guns and other weapons appeared with marvelous alacrity. Things looked ripe for bloodshed, but through the energetic efforts of a few cool headed white men an open fight was averted. The negro then surrendered, and the only damages were a few cuts and bruises. It was reported that the negroes would attempt to release the prisoner, and at last accounts the whites had prepared for any emergency. ? The White Cap organization has as[ sumed formidable proportions in some of the Western States, and while its members . set out to regulate and punish alleged evil doers, counter organizations have 1 been formexT to regulate the White Caps. A large ntfmber of the White Caps are l under indictment, and at Leavenworth, k Indian^ last week, several of these cases 1 were continued until March 2G. The deft feedanta asked far a change of venue from ^ Judge Senor, which was granted. Morris ^ Mdtilaud, enc-of the prosecuting witnesses, claims that the Whitp Caps' friends tried to tak<* his life. Eleven persons answered to indictments and information for assault with intent to murder, assault and battery, and assault and riot.. They are all farmers in a prosperous financial condition and heretofore respectable citizens. The indictments against these men are based upon the barbarous whipping of two women on July 27th. ? It isstated by a New York evening paper that Dr. Alexander E. Slljponald, general superintendent of -the inskpe asylum on Ward's Island, Jjas become insane. It is hoped that the affliction is only temporary, and that the ouce brilliant mind of the great specialist will be restor-, ;>ed to its normal condition, but theppb*-' Sect at present is not encouraging. IcDonald has for many years been oii? pf v the universally recognized authorities in * this country on the subject of insanity aQd its treatment. It seems like a true exP?" sitior of the irony of fate that he himse^ should have been visited withan afflictPn that no one was supposed to know bett*r than he how to cure. Dr. McDonald wa3 one of the experts whose testimony conX victed Guiteau, the assassin of President Garfield, and it is noteworthy that he is another of those who participated in that trial and who have apparently fallen under the bane of the assassin's curse. ? A Greeley Centre, Nebraska, dispatch of Saturday says: Deputy Sheriff Paxton yesterday returned from Walbach, having in custody the entire male population of the town except one. The arrest grew out of a sort of White Cap regulation affair, of which the victim was F. M. Cutler, a resident of the place. Shortly after the death of his first wife a servant girl at the house was found to be anxious to succeed his widow. Cutler was forced to marry her, but immediately afterward began a studied system of abuse to cornpel her to get a divorce. On Thursday he L gave her a terrible beating, and shortly afterward assaulted a thirteen-year-old For his com bi ned offences h is fellowI Hteens surrounded his house that night the intention of punishing him. He V _ got away on horseback bat was pursued, captured with a lasso, tied to a post and whipped. He was than arrested for beating his wife, and in return swore out warrants for all the male inhabitants of Walback. ? It is stated In Washington that Southern protection Demodrats will hold a convention soon, at Richmond or Louisville, to issue & an ultimathm to the free trade wing of the party that unless the party returns to the platform of protectionists they will ie?ye the party. This is in line with the action of the Alabama protection Democrats in calling on General Harrison, rt Is understood that Mr. Randall is cognisant of the movement, and is in accord. rA meeting is to be held this week to fix the date and place of the convention. ?he IJflrMle (inquirer. yorkville, s. c. : WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 2, 1889. THE NEW YEAR. With the new year The Enquirer greets its readers in an enlarged form, and with general improvements, which it is our purpose to extend and maintain. Enous publication, as The Enquirer does to-day, it would be supererogation to offer its readers promises, further than to say that as in the past, our future endeavors shall be directed to rendering the paper more worthy than ever of the liberal support which it has always received. While our appliances and office equipments are more complete than they have ever been, bur editorial and reportorial staff is also augmented with capable and competent men, and their ability in their respective spheres will be devoted to maintaining and improving the high character which that department of The Enquirer has ever Sustained. We are pleased to be able to say that we enter upon the year 1889 under more encouras'ine' ausDices than ever before. Never at the closing of a year have we entered upon our books more new p^mes as subscribers than the year just ended. Our friends should remember, however, that our ability to publish a first class paper will be commensurate with the support we receive, and with our greatly increased size and reduced price of subscription, we hope they will continue to be active in securing names for the current volume. DEATH OF REV. J. P. BUYCE, D. 1)., LLD.' # Rev. James Petigru Boyce, D. 1).,LL.D., president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, located in Louisville, Ky., died on December 27th, at Paris, France. For some years Dr. Boyce's health had been gradually failing until last spring, when he had to give up'his work. The trustees of the Seminary granted him a two years' vacation in order that he might regain his strength, and for this purpose he and his family have been traveling abroad since last August. Dr. Boyce was one of the foremost of American Baptists. He has done more for the interest of that denomination than any other one man. We give some brief account of his life and work: ihrL.w r "JCnd was therefore about til years old at the time of his death. His parqpts were wealthy and gave him every advantage in ft%A nm?? a f A/^nnnt! An tUo t AAlllrl Ko Ho. ill Luc w aj \jl uuutanuu tnai vuuiu uo uusired. He was graduated from Brown University, and from Princeton Theological Seminary, and was ordained to the Baptist ministry in December, 1851. A call was extended him by the Baptist ' Church at Columbia, S. C., which he accepted. He occupied this pulpit- until , 1855, when he became professor of theology in Furman University, at Greenville, S. C. It was while here that he conceived the idea of organizing the Southerh i Baptist Theological Seminary. Through < his efforts the Baptist Convention organized the Seminary at Greenville, and Dr. Boyce was elected to the presidency. During the war operations of the institution were practically suspended, and Dr. Boyce served as a chaplain in the Confederate army. "Afterhis attention was given to reviving the Seminary* aod^his efforts were crowned with success. For-years he sustained the institution from his own"private fortune. It was not until 1874 that , he succeeded in raising an amount sufficient to put the institution beyond danger. At that time he secured $90,000 for the support of the Seminary. In 1876 the seat of the institution was removed to Louisville, Ky., and through the efforts of Dr. Boyce the endowment has been greatly increased, and the Seminary has now a larger attendance of students than any other theological institution in America. Many positions have been tendered to Dr. Boyce which would have given him double the remuneration ho has received from this institution ; but he has refused them all. For several successive years Dr. Boyce > was elected president of the Southern Baptist Convention, and he held this posi- , tion at the time of his death. He was a man of accurate scholarship, and as a preacher he had many excellent qualities. Many of his sermons and ad- < dresses have been published in pamphlet form, and he has been a frequent contributor to the magazines and religious ijapeFSI iilS Sbiesi VrOiK~it?"4iVu 'Auslvadu i Systematic Theology," which was published only a year before his death. Asa theologian he bad but few equals, and his death will be greatly lamented by his denominatioirand by all who knew him. It will be/difficult to supply the place which h<yhas so ably filled in the sem- j inary. / His /emains will be brought to Louisville.^vy., for interment. / THE CLEMSON EERIEST. /Governor Richardson has declined to /ign the Clemson College Act, passed by the last Legislature, and in an interview With the Columbia correspondent of the News and Courier says he will delay consideration of it until the next meeting of the Legislature. Giving the reasons for his action, the Governor says: i "Being independent of this or any other i bequest it is unfortunate that the Clemson devise has been hampered by certain con- ] ditions which make the propriety of its .acceptance at any time a matter of grave ^oubt, but to accept it at this time, i wjy>u the transfer of the real estate has beeKespecially forbidden by one of the highest Courts in the country, would place ! i South"(torolioa in the unenviable position of opposin? ber sovereignty to the determination of the possible rights of a citi- i zen by tKifourts of the country, when there is noT,for auc]* baste, eveu by the terrxr of ^liE* Glemson's will, which ! allows accep*ance to be lna(1? by the State within threeVears' .. , .. I j "A?r?in it <s a serious question whether I the biil acceftin^-the dojw.not i change the t0 such a dcgrce^HBtt^^^B^^F'in^in^ !' ing specifically^^^^^^^^^B,ratl0 in bill thirds vofe ercise of lite the boltrd, 1 from the plan which Mr. Clemson's will designated. "Then there is another objection, which the people of the State should have the opportunity gravely to consider. It is the propriety of establishing an institution of this kind under conditions which, if sustained by the Courts, would prevent its ever being genuinely and thoroughly a State college, as it would be given over to an irresponsible board to control. Then the hasty acceptance of the bequest would make the State of South Carolina a collector of bonds, notes and accounts for the Clemson estate. It would be the decent, prderly plan to allow the executor himself to collect the assets of the estate, and this* being done, and the finances of the estate settled, proffer its resources to the State." The Governor's action is condemned by some, but we do not see how he could have acted otherwise than he did. In the first place, bringing up the subject in the Legislature, pending Miss Leo's contest of the will, was hasty and unseemly, while it could in no way hasten the establishment of of the college; and as the Governor's action will not delay the in stitution, we can see no just grounds for condemnation. ^ RAILROAD LEGISLATION. The Columbia correspondent of the Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel writes to that paper the following under date of Ikst Saturday: , j The railroad 'legislation of the last session of the Legislature is interesting if not encouraging. Only two. charters for new roads were granted, and these for \jery short lines, while one of the excityig-discussions of the session ocrtirrection the bills to validate the bonds issued to build railroads. Acts were passed to relieve taxpayers from ?the payment of taxes pel ibooda iauuc-dta.aHhor u.iSU"lh-bevWKtr townships in York county, and to refund to tax-payers taxes already paid for interest oh railroad btmds in Kershaw county. The amendment to the general railroad law restores to the railroad commissioners the right to fix rates. The act to provide for the pry men t of township railroad bonds seeks'to validate such bonds as were declared invalid by the Supreme court. The charter of the Bennettsville and Cheraw railroad was amended; the name of the Wilmington, Columbia and Augusta railroad was confirmed; the Cheraw and Barnwell and the WinnsborQ and Fish Dam railroads %ere chartered, and the Augusta and Manchester road was authorized to build a branch line to Cam-' den. An act was passed to require the Port Royal and Western Carolina railroad to join tracks with the Richmond and Danville railroad at Spartanburg, when it appears that that road has been anxious to do that same thing all the time without being required to do so. From this brief review of the legislation on the subject, we are not encouraged to expect any abnormal railroad development in the State for the next twelve months. HASTY LEGISLATION. The Charleston World has a timely editorial on the subject of hasty and imperfect legislation, of which we have had so much in South Carolina. Referring to the impropriety of rushing legislative work as marked the proceedings of the last Legisldture, when about one-third of the members met at 5 minutes after midnight on Sunday night to pass upon bills which perhaps received no consideration at all, the few members present thinking only of the first outgoing trains, the World says: "The question is often asked why mo% are so anxious to be elected to the Legmtiture; when, after they obtain theiyfish, and before scarcely any work has been accomplished, they aesire to name a^lay for adjournment, and by so doing/force the amount of business into the time allowed. "The proper course undoubtedly should be to leave the question of adjournment, until the business necessary to be done is determined upon. "It is very hard to understand how any fair-minded man can accept such a position and receive pay for what he does not do. According to the repdrts from Columbia, at Monday's session4here were present of the Senate thirteen and of trie House thirty-five members; therefore only fortyeight members/>f the Legislature wereennorMbncfay'B servfces." "How many were absent during last week we do not know, but of the propriety of the following conditions there can be no doubt. If men are elected to the Legislature, they should be in their seats during the session or they should resign and allow those who are willing to do their duty to be sent to represent the people. "If the Constitution requires a majority of each body to be present to transact business, then it follows necessarily that less than a majority in either or both houses cannot legally carry on any business, and therefore all Acts so passed are unconstitutional and void." Reviewing the requirements of the Constitution as to what constitutes a legal quorum of the two branches of the Legislature, the World continues: "The Senate consists of thirty-five and the House of one hundred and twentyfour members, and if less than fifty of these Senators and Representatives can transact any business which they deem proper, then the legislation in this State is in a dangerous condition, and one which we may all have cause to regret in the future. "The Legislature when complete accomplishes very little work: of any-very great bemvfiLt.to the general public, but when so small a minority are left in charge, what are we to expect? "If an individual cannot remian in attendance during the session, he should not endeavor to obtain the position of Senator or Representative-, for this unbusiness-like behavior works an injustice to the State. "O^r great economists throughout the State would do well to settle the question as to whether a member who absents himself for many days is entitled to any compensation whatever. We say without any hesitation that as an unfaithful servant he should not only be denied any pay, but that he should pay a fine for neglecting his duties. "In conclusion, to the few who remained all through the session we say well done, and they are ffee from this responsibility." * A corrective of the evil, which has become a serious one, would be to change the time for the meeting of the Legislature. As the time is now fixed, the members go to Columbia a few days before Christmas, and the only object on the minds of many of them is the question of returning home on or before that day, regardless of the condition of the calendars, or the inconvenience that may~?Mue'as the result of their hasty work during the closing hours of the session. Let them go to the State capital after the holiday season, with no pleasant anticipations of its recurrence, but with a determination to faithfully discharge their duty to the State. THE INDUSTRIAL SOUTIL The Tradesman, published at Chattanooga, Teun., and devoted to the industrial interests of the South, publishes in its issue of last Monday, a list of every industry established in the Southern States in 1888; also every one enlarged and all that were projected among the leading branches of industry.

TAX RETURNS. \ An important circular from tte comptrbller-general to the county auiitor is j published in our advertising colunns this week. It has been the practice heretofore 1 in some counties for tax-payers, it their f convenience, to procure the necessary / blanks, fill them up and send tlem to ^ the auditor.

Tax- , payers must mak'3 their returns on oath direct to the auditor, either in person or ; by authorized agent. sJ COUNTY OFFICES. j "flr. W.

YORK BAPTIST SUNDAY-SCHOOL CONVENTION. [Reported for the Yorkville Knquii?r.] The twentieth session of this body was held with the Union Baptist churcfl, four miles north of Yorkville, beginning on Friday, December 28th, and adjeurning Sunday, December 30th, 1888. It Mai considered one of the most interesting and profitable meetings in the history ol the Convention. mu~ T> T7I n TT!?W- 1 ? - j.no j-vev. r. xaitnauu, uy previout appointment, preached the introducforysermon, taking his text from Matttew xi: 28?"Come unto me, all ye that laoorind are heavy laden, and I will give /ou rest." The sermon was a thoughtful *nd impressive presentation of the real meaning of the text. After an intermission of one hour for refreshments, the Convention was ctfled to order by the President. The following officers were selected to serve daring 880: President, H. E. Johnson; Vice-Presi-ent, Rev. J. A. White; Secretary, P. H. D<ver; Treasurer, S. N. Johnson. "The importance of an intimate ka>wl-. edge of God's word, and how to obtaii it," was presented by Rev. F. C. Hic;son. The speaker referred to the alarninp ignorance that exists among the jreat majority of Christians in regard t? the Bible, and emphasised the doty and priv* ilegeofkuowing^pd'sword. J.BlWood; J. A. White and B. G. Patrick fallowed suggestions as to now an itf ** * mate knowledge of the Bible might bj obtained. i : HI After this discussion the botfy adjourned to meet at 10 A. M., Saturdsy morning, i On Saturday morning devotonal exer- 1 cises weie'led by Rev. C. T. Scaife, and ; the con^ntion took up the programme < for thecfy. "The;History of tie Sundayschool Convention and its futife possibil- < ities," \*8 introduceded and ciBCussed by i Rev. J. White. 1 H. E.Johnson then read a ctrefully prepared pber which presented the history ( of the tjdy and its work, it may be of i interest) mention some facta referred to in the say. Previous to the formation < of the (hvention in November, 1884, Ht- j tie was kown of the state of the Sunday- ( school ifche bounds of York Association, ( even aqng Baptist people. The Conven- ( tion hajbeen the means of uniting the i Baptist|f the county, and of awakening i a deepj interest in all departments of 1 1>) CJ 1 ? tuuituMu ouuuay-scnooi work. Many j churchcyhich took little interest in ed- t ucationjind mission work have been c broughj o contribute liberally to all our s denomi tional enterprises. Rev. R. G. ^ Patriclj -ged upon the delegates the ira- * portanf f renewed interest in the conventioif work. a The bussion of the next subject- d "The it >rtance of organizing woman't mission' societies in our churches," was 0 introdu by Rev. F. C. Hickson. Ha ? spoke (vhat the gospel had done fcr woman elevating her from slavery X) e< the pos n she now occupies, and argued d< there v placed upon her a special le- r3 sponsibr to give to heathen women al this sai Gospel. In heatheA lands the women tld not be approached by our m male m maries. If they were reacted _ by the 1 j, our women must take it to ri< them, called upon the women to work CI in beha" women, and thought the pis- j" sionary iety was the place for hfr to (?? put fort r efforts. ^ Rev. l. Scaife took issue with Mr. f0] Hickso: d an interesting debate ensued, pe Mr. Sea aid that the fact that woman Hi owes a ch to the gospel is an arguinent ii or of women working to send a_ i T~ ?f?7~ (jff) g^iniza f Women's Mission Societies. we Fbr th saw no scriptural authority; mi He pn ed to offer some objections to wl these s es. It would encourage the aft wotnen le way of speaking in public.
