"PARMER AND MERCHANT."
For the Yorkville Enquirer.
Editor of The Enquirer: In replying
to Mr. W. H. Edwards, who is announced
as a candidate for the legislature, I do so in
justice to an occupation of which I am proud,
and one that has honored me on many occasions.
Some persons eutertain erroneous opinions
of merchants, and the candidate is not
excepted.
In his communication to The Cotton Plant,
which was copied into The Enquirer, speaking
of the merchants, he said : "It is no use to
appeal to sentiment with men whose only object
in life is to make money." In his defence,
he says "it is no use to appeal to sentiment in
men whose sole aim in life seems to be to accumulate
money." A noble representative of
York county, when repeating the sentence first
quoted, he interpolates the word "seems,"
which, in explaining his explanation that does
not explain, changes the entire meaning. Ho
cannot plead that "Merchant" misunderstood
him or wishes to misrepresent him. He first
said that the merchant's aim in life is to make
money, and did not qualify the assertion with
the word "seems." As 1 will show further on,
.his defence is worse than his accusation. He
wishes, so to say, to raise hard feelings between
the merchants and the farmers, and has failed.
The farmers have known the most of the merchants
of Yorkville from their boyhood, and
have known others since the close of the war,
and they have known Mr. Edwards only a few
years. Yet he wishes to represent that the
merchants and farmers know very little about
each other.
He farther says that he should have qualified
the word merchant and given a description
of the kind of merchant he meant; and be
closes his remarks by saying: "But few of
these live in York county." To use his own
words, this is too thin. When speaking of
farmers, it is not the miserly farmer; of doctors,
not the quack ; of lawyers, not the shyster
; and of merchants, not the few he describes ;
but all the merchants. Yet he says : "Any
one of common sense will readily understand
the class of merchants I meant." This remark
alone entitles him to a seat in the legislature.
He is the only one who has "common sense,"
and every one who believes that merchants
are those who are engaged in buying and selling,
are men of uncommon sense; thus saying
one thing and meaning something else, ana
recalling the next. . .
He is a worthy follower of some leader. The
candidate said merchants,. without qualification,
and no doubt desired to secure the support
of the farmers. Not knowing the friendly
relations existing between the farmers and
merchants, he thought to be nominated on that
issue. Finding his mistake, to flatter the merchants,
he says he meant only a few of the
merchants liying in York whose only object
is to accumulate money. Using one of his own
expressions?that is all bosh.
The merchants are his best friends. Not
only are they friends of him, but of many
more, and their ledgers can prove it, where the
charges are all on one side; and if the account
is balanced, it is generally by profit and loss,
viz.: loss and no profit.
As a merchant for over fifty years in South
Carolina, my experience is that the men who
speak the most bitterly against the merchants
are those to whom be has shown the most indulgence?those
who never pay, or those whom
he refused credit.
Before I go further I will lay down an old
maxim in explanation of what I have to say.
A candidate for the legislature is public property.
His words ana actions are subject to
investigation.-and if it turns out unfavorable,
and the constituent knows more about him
than he expected, there is none to blame but
himself.
Mr. Edwards replies to my remark that the
world is a chain and one" dependent upon
another, that he heard it when a boy. X do
not claim it as original with me, but I do say
be has forgotten, when he came out for the
legislature, by attacking an honorable occupation,
when he said the merchant's only occupation
in life is to accumulate money. He may
also have forgotten that commerce is the mother
of civilization, and that the merchant is the
right hand of the missionary.
He said it was no use to appeal to the merchants'
sentiment, and. I proved by actual facts
that the merchants have sentiment and give
their money freely. I did not say that the
farmers do not help the poor, but only remarked
that after the petitioner comes back, the
farmers make up the deficiency. This he calls
rigmarole. He who lives only a few years
in York county may not know it.
When he said the merchant's only object in
life is to make money, and that they can be
reached only by their pockets, I showed him
that the merohant is the most liberal, he re{ilies
that it sounds like bosh and is straying a
ongWay from the Question.
When I spoke of the merchant after the war,
I asked, was it not the merchant who started
the farmer in his struggle then? Every one
was of uncommon sense at that time. I consider
that the candidate alone has common sense.
As I have shown before, he knows that he went
to benefit himself and to support his family, and
by selling to the farmers on time he helped
the farmers considerably, and that explains
how the farmers succeedod.
I mentioned before that a majority of the
merchants lost everything, while the farmers
were getting well off and independent. Now,
be who wishes to make laws for us asks, is
there any law to compel the merchant to sell
. his goods on time. There is no such law, but
many merchants wish there was a law forbiddingto
sell on time. I do not know whether
or autfthe candidate-will advocate or vote for It.
The candidate does not reply to my question
asking where are the merchants in York county
makinc mnn?r : hilt hfics thfl nuestion bv ask
ing the per cent, charged on goods bought on
time during the last twenty-five years. Now
he thinks he has something to go on against
the merchant, and in reply I give him a carte
blanche which he may fill out from one to five
hundred per cent. But where is it ? All in the
ledger, and not worth the paper on which it is
written. I ask a practical question : Where
are the money-making merchants? Charging
fer centage is loss, when the debt is not paid.
will reply for the candidate, as he has lived
bnt a short time in the county and cannot
know. Take into consideration the loss on
those who have given liens and make no crop ;
those who have given liens and make a crop,
but sold itin a distant market; and those who
think the merchant makes all the money and
never pay him. For all I know there may be
somennrfer the one or the other of these classes,
candidates for the legislature. My conclusion
is that during the past twenty-five years?
a very long time?if a mtyority of the merchants
came oat even, they did very well.
In reference to taxes, I said: "Does Mr.
Edwards know that the'merchants of York
pay one-fourth of the taxes? I said nothing
about property. He replies that he did not
know it; Dut if they do, of course they own
one-fourth of all the property of the county,
and he asked me to explain so a plain and
grossly ignorant man can understand how it is
that ninety per cent, of the farmers have succeeded
and become independent, while ninety
?er cent, of the merchants have failed, and toay
the remaining ten per cent, own a quarter
of all the property of the county. He evidently
means something else, or he ought to have
qualified. First, see how he misrepresents
me. I said not a word about the amount of
property. This he adds. Has York county
come so low down that a constituent has to
explain the tax law to a candidate for the legislature?
. A person who pays no tax, or only a
few dollars, say two to three, knows very
little about taxes, even if he is a candidate for
the legislature. I can explain in a few words :
fictitious taxation. But as he asked me to
explain in order that the candidate for the
legislature, or even a plain and grossly ignorant
man may understand, I will Illustrate by
, example: A is not worth one cent. He has
the reputation of being honest and industrious,
and is a good business man. He goes to New
York and bnys goods on credit to the amount
of 810,000. He sells or has goods on hand during
the year to the amount of $10,000. He has
to pay taxes on $10,000 although he may not be
worth one cent. B. has a capital of $5,000 and
sells during the year, or has stock on hand to
the amount of $20,000. He pays taxes on $20,000,
of which $15,000 is fictitious. While the
merchants of York county pay one-fourth of
the taxes, nine-tenths of tbearnount is fictitious
taxation.
The merchants of South Carolina, before and
since the war, have been highly taxed, it may
be because their interests in the legislature
have been represented by only a few. But
notwithstanding this, being the most conservative
class, they never complain, knowing the
importance of maintaining the credit of the
State and sustaining her public institutions;
and further recognizing the fact that if the State
wants faithful, competent and experienced officers,
they have to be paid well for their services.
The merchant knows that ono ellicient,
well paid clerk is cheaper than would be fivo
inefficient clerks, though all commanding no
more pay than the competent one. Why, then,
the continual harping of the demagogue for
low taxes and reduction of public expenses?
They do not stop to consider the efi'ect it would
have.
Asa merchant, I do not meddle with politics,
and therefore I shall have nothing to say
in regard to the March convention.
Mr. Edwards is sorry that I am not a candidate.
I woald say to him, spare your sympathy;
give it to those whose occupation and
reputation you have attacked.
The advice I gave the farmers was given as
the counsel of a friend, and it lias been appreciated
by them, although it may not be pleasing
to the demagogue.
In reference to his sarcastic remark about my
wishing to go to congress or may be the State
senate, I would say that I am not ambitious,
nor do I think I am qualified, although persons
who know us both might conclude that 1
am equally if not better qualified tlfkn the
would-be-legislator.
Shades of departed legislators, of York?
Williams, Witherspoon, McCaw, Black,
Springs, and many more of equal probitycome
to our assistance. A man, only a few
years a resident of the county, one paying
very little taxes, attacking men in an honora?
ble occupation, and seeking to represent the
county in the legislature! May our citizens
let not their spirit slumber longer. We waul
men who will represent all the iuterest of the
county?the farmers, the merchants, the professions,
the mechanics, the manufacturers, and
the laborers. We want men who pay taxes and
their debts; men of intelligence; men whc
know how to enact laws not only for the benefit
of the county, but of the whole State; mer
who are able to instruct our members of congress
; men who would be an honor to the State
and the pride of York county ; men of th<
sterling character for integrity as those whc
have represented the county in the years thai
are past.
Now, Mr. Candidate, I am done. I believe 1
have done justice to my occupation and opened
the eyes of some. This is my last communication
on this subject. I leave the verdict tc
be rendered at the ballot-box and bid you fare
well. M. Strauss, Merchant.
LETTER FROM BLACKSBIRG.
Correspondence of the Yorkvllle Enquirer.
Blacksburo, July 8.?During the past several
days, our part of the county has been
blessed with abundant showers of rain, and
its invigorating effects are well shown in the
growing crops. Corn and cotton never had
better prospects, at this season of the year, for
a fine yield.
There was no formal, or grand display by
our white population, on the Fourth, but there
seemed to be a quiet feeling of regard for the
day as one of more than ordinary importance,
which it was their duty to celebrate, and they
would not allow another to pass without duly
observing it as the grand national holiday.
Our colored citizens were more demonstrative.
There was quite a large gathering of
them in town ; a procession was formed which
marched through theprincipal street; a speech
was made, appropriate to the occasion, by one
of their number; a dinner served and the band
played. Altogether it was an enjoyable holiday
for them, and to their credit, everything
was conducted in a most orderly way, there
| being an entire absence of drunkenness, or
I nnnAAmlv noise. The music for the occasion
was furnished by the Yorkville colored brass
hand.
Miss Jones, sister of Maj. Jno. F. Jones, recently
arrived from Springfield, Mass., and is
visiting at the house of her brother.
The Misses Jones, of Carey, N. C., are visiting
their brother, Mr. Wm. M. Jones.
Mrs. Dianah Beard, an aged lady who lives
near town, while walking yesterday afternoon
through a field, near her house, fell and fractured
the smaller bone of her left arm, near the
wrist joint, and otherwise strained the parts,
from which she suffered a great deal. Prompt
medical attention was given her, and she was
soon made comfortable.
Mrs. S. F. Torrence and daughter, Miss Annie,
of Charlotte, are visiting Mrs. M. E. Deal
and other friends, here and at Cherokee Falls.
The electric lights have not been sprung upon
us yet. The engine has been here for several
days, however, and is being placed in position,
and to-night we expect the town to be lighted
by the new process.
The Methodist church of the colored people
has recently been enlarged and improved, but
the old steps remained, and while the congregation
was dispersing Sunday night, the steps,
which are high off the ground, gave way, ana
several persops fell. None were injured, however,
except Wm. Connor, a brakeman on the
Three C'sj-ailroad, who had a rib fractured, and
was pretty badly bruised.
Messrs. Jackins, Crosby & Co. are moving a
part of their railroad plant to Union county,
where they have taken work on the Three C's
railroad.
Mr. W. R. Libscomb is at home for a brief
visit. w. a.
LETTER FROM HICKORY GROVE.
Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer.
Hickory Grove, July 8.?Fine prospects
for crops are the result of the warm weather
and frequent rains. Without some backset,
corn enough to last two years will be gathered
in this section. Wheat and oats are a failure,
but I have never seen farmers in better spir
its man mey are now.
Building here still goes on. Mr. Robert
Pursley has again begun work on the store
house of Mr. W. H. White. Dr. Allison is
moving on with his house, and will soon be
ready to occupy it.
Mr. Edgar Wilkins, of Henrietta, N. C., was
in town a few days ago and expressed a desire
to build and settle here.
It is rumored that Dr, Wylie, of Chester
county, will come to this place to live. We
are glad to get all like these.
We are counting on Mr. C. M. Whisonant
and family this fall. Mr. Whisonant does not
say much) but we are confident that the growth
in the business of this place will attract him.
Mrs. Hunter, of Huntersville, N. C., is visiting
her brother, Mr. J. N. McDill.
Prof. J. M. Tankersley, of Gaffney City, spent
a day in town last week. Prof. Tankersley is
one of the principals of the Gaffney City male
and female seminary, and is a man of fine
ability as a teacher.
Messrs. Castles & Whisonant returned from
their mountain trip last Thursday. They visited
several towns along the railroad and found
much to interest them. They mention Blacksburg
as being on an upward tendency. One
night they spent at the railroad camps, with
Contractors Crosby & Jackins, was a huge time.
They mention Marion, N. C., as a growing
town. Capital is going in and investments are
being maae. Marion will soon have electric
cars. Property there is bringing a good price.
The Three C's road will soon be completed to
that point, which will make it one of the leading
towns of Western North Carolina. They
found Asheville much larger than they expected.
It is j.of the greatest interest to visit that
city and see the life and push of those who live
there. They returned by Spartanburg, which
is none the less active, and is growing into a
city. Their trip was short, but interesting to
them, and it is hoped was beneficial. rex.

Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer.
Grover, N. C., July 7.?On Monday evening,
June 30th, during a light wind and thunder
storm, the residence of Mr. J. L. Bridges, of
this place, was struck by a bolt of lightning.
It struck near the middle of the bouse, tearing
up the roof. It then divided and, descending
each of two gutters to a veranda on the second
story, shivered the columns and band-rails.
It then passed over an iron porch roof to the
low or story, shivering each of the corner and
one of the centre columns of the porch, and
knocking the plastering off from ceiling to floor
in one of the lower rooms. Miss Mary Bridges,
Mrs. W. H. Bird and daughter and infant Bon,
and a traveling agent, were all sitting on the
porch, and two little girls, each about five years
old, were up-stairs when the bolt descended.
They all escaped serious injury, though they

n Ci O ovtuvnuuv ovwumwv* wj ?xv wmvw<*? ? _
they had recoyered consciousness, or could
realize what had happened, the cry was raised
across the street, that the house was on fire.
Help was near, and access to the roof was easy
and the flames were soon extinguished. Mr.
Bridges was not at home at the time and did
not know of the narrow escape of his house
and family until he returned that night.
News of a sensational murder at Plainville,
ten miles from Rome, 6a., on the 3rd instant,
in which many of our citizens are interested,
has just reached here. The victim's home is
at this place, and she was the wife of Mr. R. G.
Collins, the well known distiller at Grover,
who is also engaged in distilling in Georgia.
She was shot and instantly killed by a negro
named Richmond Custer. Mr. Collins had.
gone to Plainville, to look after his business
there, and took Mrs. Collins with him. Custer,
the negro who did the shooting, came to
Grover only a short time ago. He got into
trouble with the town authorities, and being
unable to pay the tine and costs, was released
on condition that J. H. Hambright would stand
good for the fine and costs. Hambright afterwards
turned him over to Collins, who paid
the fine and costs and took Custer to Georgia
to work in his distillery. The shooting took
place in a house. Mrs. Collins and a woman by
the name of Moore were the only persons present
at the time of the shooting. Others were
near. The negro was sent to the house to do
some work, and the report is that he shot Mrs.
Collins as soon as he got to the house. No
cause can be assigned for the murder, which
created a great deal of excitenaeut in Floyd
county. The murderer escaped. c. u. h.
' LETTER FROM LANCASTER COUNTY.
Correspondence of the Yorkvllle Enquirer.
Craiosville, July?.?The State campaigners
spoke at the county seat to about one thousand
persons on last Friday, and were listened
to with marked attention.
Although three bar rooms were in full blast
and well patronized, there was comparatively
little drunkenness, and almost no disorder.
Notwithstanding the deep feeling manifested
by both sides, I did not hear of a single difficulty
arising from that source. Indeed, if
there was any difficulty at all, the matter was
kept very quiet. Never was a crowd more orderly
under similar circumstances.
A grand time is anticipated by the Confederate
veterans on the 22d instant. A barbecue
is to be had at the county seat, and all the veterans
of the county are to have a re union, the
first since the war. An association of veterans
was organized for this county last spring.
Not nearly all have been enrolled, as the formation
was in progress during the busy season;
but it is fair to suppose that a complete
enrollment majr be effected during the year.
Good rains have come at last and saved our
crops from further sutlering. Our fields now
look a great deal more promising than they
did a week ago.
Cotton is growing and is well fruited. While
in a neighbor's field, where he was liooing a
few days ago. my attention was attracted by a
stalk of cotton not more than thirteen inches
high. On a fair count the returns showed that
it had thirty-eight shapes on it. Many stalks
1 1 1. 3 3 - \ J 1 iv.n

Corn is doing well. Another such season as
we had on the 1st instant will make old corn,
a great deal of which waslaid-by two and three
weeks ago. waxhaw.
LETTER FROM UNION COUNTY.
Correspondence of the Yorkvllle Enquirer.
Etta Jane, July 7.?Genial showers this
week have given crops another boost. Cotton
is at least three weeks or perhaps a month in
advance of former years. Hundreds of blooms
' can be seen in places. The weed is well grown.
By the storm of last Wednesday much of the
corn was blown down and tangled so that it will
1 be impossible to give it another plowing,
i Wheat is as complete a failure as it has been
since the war. Many people will not get their
seed back; while others did not attempt to cut
1 it at all. Peas are being sown broadcast and
turned under for a crop of forage and to improve
the land.
The mechanics are making preparations to
begin building the culverts on the Augusta
division of the Three C's railroad. Several
teams are engaged hauling the stone for that
purpose.

1 last week by a wheat thresher. His leg or
- knee was caught by some of tho machinery

m ,RS JEFFERSON DAVIS is verv much
1YJL annoyed at the action of the bookmakers
who are trying to Hood the market with hastily
prepared "Lives" of her illustrious husband.
She says no one is publishing a history of the
life of Mr. Davis by her authority. She is at
present engaged in writing a history herself,
and this will be the only authentic one. It will
bo published sometime during the fall by the
Belfords, of New York. Dr. Jones, of Atlanta,
has received the sanction of Mrs. Davis to
write a history of the memorial services held
over Mr. Davis, but aside from this no other
permission has been granted.
The above paragraph was taken from a leading
and thoroughly reliable Southern newspaper,
and I have in my possession an autograph
totter from Mrs. Davis which corroborates it in
overy particular. I have been appointed agent
for the book by the Belfords, and now have the
prospectus, will be pleased to receive the
