C.: ce WEDNESDAY, MARCH 7,1894. ? Senator Voorhees says that the tarii reform bill will pass the senate within fiv e weeks, and after that the Bland silver hi 0 will be passed by a handsome majority Further, the senator sa.vs that the presides " ^ hope Senato 1 v uorhees knows whereof he speaks. Tin , J Bland bill is not free coinage by any means Dut- it is a powerful wedge in that direction i and if the president signs it, the bars art 1 down. We hope that the president will sigr the bill, but, candidly, if he does, we shall be very greatly surprised. ? The house of representatives, on last Saturdaj', passed.'a resolution authorizing the secretary of the navy to expend $40,000 for the purpose of raising the Kearsage, recently wrecked on El Rancador reef. The Kearsage is an old played-out hulk ol no practical value, and would probably not sell on the market for $30,000. The resolution to appropriate money for its recovery is based almost entirely on sentimental considerations. The Kearsage, it will be remembered, is the vessel that sank the Alabama, off the coast of France, during the late war. ? At last, after twenty days of obstruction by filibustering- Republicans and "Eastern Democrats," the Bland seigniorage bill, on last Thursday, passed the house by a vote oi 1G8 to 129. Nineteen Republicans voted with the Democrats and Populists for the bill, and 49 Democrats, mostly from the North! eastern States, voted with the majority o! the Republicans against the bill. South Carj olina's delegation, of course, voted solidly for I the bill. The measure now has to run the j gauntlet of the senate and the president's veto. There is little reason to doubt that it will get through the senate without difficulty, but as to whether it will ever get past the president, there is reason for grave fears. ? It is possible that since Gladstone has retired from the British premiership, Great Britain's objection to an international adjustment of the silver question may be removed. Gladstone, though the ablest statesman of the day, was first of all for Great Britain. On the international conference question he said : "What do we waut with silver as money? We are the credi:or nation of the world, and we want our debts paid in the dearest money we can get." That was all right so far as it ; concerned Great Britain, and still further, the | comparatively few who aro creditors; but the 1 great masses, even in Englaud,are now cryI ing for cheaper money and more of it, and j there is reason to believe that the time is j not far distant wheu all the great nations ol i Europe will be glad to adust the matter on an equitable basis. ? In its sketch of General Jubal Early, Appleton's Cyclopedia of American biography, refers to the fact that he was twice defeated by Sheridan and once by Custer. j Such is a fact, but it would not have taken ; many more lines to say that when the iuci1 ' ~ ' * 1 -1.1 T..U~ U..A house of commons, which represents sever millions of voters. Mr. Gladstone's speech all of which was along the line indicated I was received with wild cheers, and through out Great Britain it is now regarded as a set I tied fact that the great political issue of tin : future is the abolition of the house of lords The light will be long and bitter, but in tin end the seven millions of voters referred t( ; by Mr. Gladstone, will no doubt be victori ous. The love of liberty is as strong in tin hearts of the British people, as it is in tin ,i hearts of any other people on the face of tin earth, and it is very doubtful as to whethei any earthly power can prevent them fron obtaining all they demand. ; BLAND'S SEIGNIORAGE BILL. The following is the full text of the Blanc j seigniorage bill which the house has beei fighting over for several weeks, and which i passed last Thursday: "That the secretary of the treasury shal j immediately cause to be coined, as fast a: practicable, the silver bullion held in tin treasury, purchased under the act of July 14 18U0, entitled 'An act directing the purchas< of silver bullion and the issuing of treasun notes thereon, and for other purposes,' t< . the amount of the gain or seigniorage o such bullion, to-wit: The sum of $">(), 15(5,GS1 and such coin, or the silver certificates issue* thereon, shall be used in the payment of pub lie expenditures, and the secretary of tin treasury may, in his discretion, if the need J of the treasury demand it, issue silver cert if icates in excess of such coinage. Provide* that such excess shall not exceed the amoun . of seigniorage ns herein authorized to b< i'coined. i "Sec. 2. That the remainder of the silve: [ purchased in pursuance of said act of Jul* 14, 1800, shall be coined into legal ten . der standard silver dollars as fast as i: .! practicable, and the coin held in the treas Jury for the redemption of the treason . | notes issued in the purchase of said bullion . j That as fast as the bullion shall be coined fo I j the redemption of said notes, the notes shal .! not he reissued, but shall be canceled an* destroyed in amounts equal to the coin hel* Jin the treasury, derived from the coinag* herein provided for, ami silver certificate! nay be issued on such coin in the maunc Slow provided by law."

Governor Tillman i' * one of the latter : but, at the same time, say' - he would rather leave the matter with the people, and in an interview with the Coin?" I bia Register, last Friday, suggested the following plan to accomplish that end: Let fifteen or twenty- Reformers in each county unite in a call for a mass meeting to be held at their respective court houses on the first Monday in April. These mass _ meetings may each elect one member of a State campaign committee, and at the same time decide upon an early or late convention for the purpose of nominating candidates. If the people instruct the campaign ^ committee to call a nominating convention, then the Reformers of each township may jj elect delegates ton county convention, which, in turn, will elect delegates to ColumJjji^p ^ make nominations. Tjy^m^jr^R commit~Ttee may continue as a permanent organization, within the Democratic party, to look after the interests of the Reform candidates ' in the following canvass. | Governor Tillman does not think the Conservatives will make any effort this year to capture the State offices, but thinks they will do all in their power to capture the legislature. He assigns as his reason for these beliefs that the barroom element will do all in its power to secure the repeal of the dis, pensary law, and that the railroads will make an effort to "enjoy in security the special privileges they had before I was elect. ed, of paying such taxes as they saw fit." THE STATE'S REPLY. The Columbia State of last Saturday contained the following in reply to the questions propounded in last week's Enquirer : The State stands for the Chicago platform of the Democratic party, no matter who may oppose it. It showed repeatedly last fall that the freo ! coinage of silver at a ratiio of 1(1 to 1 was not demanded by that platform, which required silver and gold dollars of "equal intrinsic and exchangeable value." The income tax was not a i Democratic platform demand, and hence was J not binding upon tho Democrats of the East. It ' was a Populist demand, which we supported, i and which the majority of the Democrats in conr gress support, because it is just and right. The coinage ot the seigniorago is not a Democratic 1 platform demand, although it is, as we have eaid, in harmony with the spirit of the platform ? and an alternative to be preferred to the issuo of more IkhuIs. Men should not bo outlawed p from the party unless they reject the party creed, which is the platform. For tho votes given already by the Eastern Democrats there Is J . no punishment possible, for while they have violated the spirit of tho platform in some re- J ! spects, they nave kept themselves within the , letter of it. Should they, however, oppose the ' repeal of the tax on Stato banks, which repeal ; the platform has called for, they will bo in rebellion against the party, and will have broken a compact bv which all true Democrats should ! be bound. If they should do this we would have no more hesitation in denouncing them as nnti-Demooratic than we have had in denouncing the State Alliance as anti-Democratic for endeavoring to prevent the repeal of this same State bank tax. It is useless to speculate i now as to the results of such action, nut The State will be found true to its record and its i faith. ? -- ? .< __i-_ rPL _ oi_ ! dents reterreu to nappeneu, om juuv uuu only about 15,000 woruout and half-starved soldiers, while his respective antagonists had each about 45,000 as sleek, well fed and well armed soldiers as the North could furnish. Notwithstanding his defeats, it is j claimed by some fair miuded writers thai ' Early delayed the fall of Richmond at leasl a year, and if this is true, it is really a mat'j ter of doubt, as to whether Sheridan and Custer and their victories over him, had very much to brag about. Few men in Early's : place would have accomplished what he did. ? ? Wm. E. Gladstone, the British prime minister, made a remarkable speech in the : house of commons last Thursday. He re' cited the fact that for a hundred days the house of commons had been laboring or the home rule, employers' liability, anc , parish criminals bills. All of these bills were ' demanded by the voters of the United Kiug dom, and had been perfected with great care ; Now, at one wanton stroke, the house o : lords had annihilated the work of the house ! of commons and ignored the will of the peo 1 pie. The great question which this condi J tion of affairs presents, said Mr. Gladstone j is whether the empire is to be ruled by the I nnn.oU/>Mv?> lieraditnrv bodv. or the elective 2 ; but he did not desire such ;ui honor. Having spent his life in the service of the common r people, he was unwilling to he separated f from them with a title. lie could not help " but know that an order conferred bv the 5 ' * ! queen would even detract from the glorious . honors already won by his own efforts. J Besides, the queen, and almost the entire rj nobility, would have been glad to see him ': raised to the peerage, in hopes of, in some | measure, destroying his wonderful power with the masses. Though certain that he s ! would not accept, the queen was constrained i- to make her offer of last week to prevent the I storm of indignation that would have swept 1 the empire, had she failed. Though the - people did not want their idol to become a }; peer, they were determined that he sh^ild 2! have the refusal of the queen's offer. There - are only one or two other such instances in English historv. - ' ELj g / .J ^Gladstone may retire fr'^flMe THE JtiNQl'IREK inanKS i ue ouuc iui mo ! above good tempered reply to the questions 1 asked, and begs leave to obtrude a few comments on the only point of difference suggested. The silver plank of the Democratic j platform is somewhat broader than the clause quoted by The State. It is as follows: "We hold to the use of both gold and silver as the standard money of the country, and to the coinage of both gold and silver without discrim! ination against cither metal on charok for . mintage, but the dollar unit of coinage of both metals must be of equal intrinsic and exchangeable value, to bo adjusted through international i agreement, or by such safeguards of legislation . as shall insure the maintenance of Che parity of ' the two metals, and the equal power of every i dollar at all times in the markets and in the payment'of debts; and we demand that all paper currency shall be kept at par with and redeemable in such coin." , Silver coined "without charge for mintage," would, of course, be free. Therefore, i the Democratic platform declares for "free , coinage." The only question left is that of t ratio. This is to be fixed in one of two ways?either by "international agreement" I or "safeguards of legislation"?and it is in. curabent upon the Democratic party to fix it Tf the nartv cannot arrange the question [ of ratio by international agreement, it folI lows that it must do it by legislation ; and if \ by legislation, we see nothing to prevent the ; selection of the ratio of 16 to 1. If the ratio ; can't be fixed by legislation, then the party stultified itself in making the suggestion in [ the Chicago platform ; and if the ratio can be ' fixed by legislation, Mr. Bland outlawed all s the Democratic anti-silverites in congress ! last summer when he made them vote against every ratio up to 20 to 1. No, involved as may be the silver plank of the Democratic !, platform, it is clear to The Enquirer that i the present administration does not intend to carry it out either in letter or spirit. THE "GRAND OLTMAX" RETIRES. I Wm. E. Gladstone visited Queen Victoria at Windsor Castle last Friday night, and informed her of his intention to retire from public life. He gave as a reason for the inj. tention his old age, and the fact that his eyesight and general health were failing. The queen expressed regret that the country should lose his services, and offered him a peerage, which the great commoner respect' fully declined to accept. ' j Wm. E. Gladstoue, is, without doubt, the ' j greatest statesmau of his generation. He i sprang from the great middle class of Eng' | land, and equipped with high moral and in' j tellectual attainments and complete edueaI tion. entered the house of commons at an j early age. He soon became a political rival ' of the famous Disraeli, and later the most powerful'lcader, probably, that the house of commons has ever known. At the begin) ' | uing of his career, he had but few, if any, ^ | fixed political opinions, but soon he adopted la policy which comprehended the uplifting ' | of the lower and middle classes of (treat ? ' j Britain, and has pursued that policy through j a long train of successes up to the present 11 day. As a private individual, on account of his I pure character and wonderful ability, (lladj stone is respected and admired not only in I (treat Britain, but throughout the entire eivi11 li/.ed world. As a public man, he has long ! been most cordially hated by Queen Victoria, j I the royal family, and the entire British arisi tocracy. The reasons for this are plain. s j Qladstoue has been, and is, dangerous. On account of his pure character and remark2 able attainments, he has been and is capable ' of withstanding any opposition that could be ' j brought to bear. Always armed with a . i quarrel that is just, he is a power before j l which vaunting vanity might well be expec.! ted to tremble. 2 j The statement that (Jladstone has rcs fused to accept a peerage is interesting, but j not surprising. The grand old man would t have been elevated long ago had he desired, trjr mere mention. . ! jfpctition was in circulation in Colorado r i last week asking that the State be all owe < | to secede from the Union.

Philosopher Hayes Dreams a Dream?He Wants tlie Farmers to Fool the Merchants as He and Squire Roddey Fooled Sharp?Lambs Should not be Taught llad Habits. Editor of The Enquirer: If a farmer hath a dream, let him tell his dream. I dreamed the other night that unless the farmers do cut down their expenses this year aud make their crops on a cheaper scale than heretofore, counting cotton at 8 cents and grain at 75 cents, we will he like a certain farmer was last year who owed me. I was, as the black man calls it, "in town" when he was parting with his last bale. I told him that I wanted him to remember me. He said : "I don't expect to have anything left out of this bale but a good cussin,' and if you are present, you can have that." I never knew before what would bring out a good cussin'. Now it is plain enough. If a man eats good things all : the year at the expense of somebody else, he J must expect a good cussin.' The wise man says: "Money is the root ! of all evil." Now farmers, I want us all to | do the merchants like me and Squire Johu 1 Roddey once did Sharp. Sharp was Squire j Roddey's pup. One day Squire said to me : "Hayes, I want you to help me fool Sharp." Thiuking the Squire was going to play some trick on the pup, I said : "All right; how are going to fool him ?" He says: "You hold j him down and I will show you." I held ; the pup down, and the Squire, who had j some pieces of fat meat, began to put them j in the dog's mouth. The dog was pretty I skeered at first, but when we let him up he j smacked his chops aud wanted to be fooled i again. Now a great many farmers owe the mer; chants some back debts, and I want these j farmers to fool these merchants like me and Squire Roddey fooled Sharp. They can do j it by paying oil' their debts to the last dollar. If the farmers will do this, the faces of the merchants will no longer show frowns, but will be all smiles. You can easily tell a merchant who has made good collections | from one whose collections have been poor, | from the looks of his face. The face of one is as smooth as butter, while that of the other is wrinkles. One is the picture of health, while the other looks like a case of J dyspepsia. This is not only the case with merchants, but applies to editors and every1 body else as well. ! Before I close, Mr. Editor, I want to tell : you a very funny story tluit happened in our community. The children had a pet lamh ' which they trained up to butt. The lamb ' soon grew to be a large sheep, and it became !so tyranical that the children could not j venture out unless the sheep was fastened j to a stake in the yard. The children were all at work in the Held, and the old woman went out to gather some chips. The sheep took the stooping position as a challenge, and promptly accepted it, by running against the old woman, head lirst, at full force. ! The old woman went down without knowj ing what struck her. When she got up, she found that the best thing to do to keep the sheep from making another charge, was. to take hold of its horns. This she 'did, and yelled for help. It was a long . ixifnwi lint ramp ?m?t thn old woman had late dinner that day. The next day ! she had fresh mutton. She was a good old j woman, hovevcr. The worst thing I ever ! heard her say was "Confound that sheep." ! But the sheep did not know any better; it ! had been taught to butt, aud thought it was its duty to butt whenever opportunity was presented. This is the moral: Children j should not teach lambs to butt, because after a while lambs become grown sheep. W. It. Haykh. Harmony, March 3, 181)4. !

A vicious Berkshire boar killed two fine mule colts on Tuesday of last week for Mr. D. M. Hall, who lives on the King's Mountain road, about five miles north of Yorkville. The boar was something over two years old, and was a tremendous fellow. Sometime ago, Mr. Hall broke off the animal's tusks and turned it into the barnyard with other stock, including a number of colts. The boar and colts seemed to get along very well. Later, the boar was confined in a pen for a time, and upon its again being turned into the barnyard on Tuesday of last week, the killing occurred. No one saw the fight or knows just how it happened. Both of the mules were disemboweled, and one of them was in such condition as to require that it be knocked in the head. The wounds of the other were stitched Up, and the animal lived until Friday, night when it died. church notices.

The question as to who shall be at the head of Yorkville's municipal government during the next year, was decided in an election held on last Saturday. Two nominees were voted for. They were Mr. G. H. ' * 1 I _ _ A ~ J O'Leary, wlio was unanimously nuuuuuieu at a public meeting held in the court house, on Friday night, and Mr. George T. Schorb, who was put forward by a number of citizens who took do part in the meeting. The election was held between the hours of 9 and 5, and the friends of the respective candidates worked like beavers all day to poll every vote that would count in their election. The total number of votes cast was 257, of which 103 were colored, and 154 were white. Mr. Schorb received 120 votes, ; and Mr. O'Leary received 137, a majority of 17. The day passed off quietly without any undue display of feeling, and the result ; is generally satisfactory to the people of the 1 town. Mr. G. II. O'Leary, who lust night qualified as intendant, is one of the foremost citJ zens of Yorkville. He is a business man of undoubted ability, and we have no hesitation in predicting that his administration will not only be highly creditable to himself, but will tend to promote all the best interests of the town. DRAWING TO A CLOSK Clubmakers and others interested are reminded that the season of Thk KNQt'iitwt's club contest, under current offers, is drawing to a close. The time expires on Thurs/i AT-.imli is nr tomorrow week. UWJ , * ?... w.. - All subscriptions paid up by Thursday, March 15, will be credited to the clubmakcrs . by whom they are returned in competition for the premiums offered. All subscriptions that are not paid -by that date, will be dropped from our lists. The paper will be discontinued to delinquents, and the names of such, of course, cannot be counted to clubmakers. We beg to suggest that unless there arc some very great changes within the next two weeks, the result of the current contest is going to be a considerable surprise, especially to some of the clubmakcrs. Just where the surprise will come in, of course, it is not fair for us to say, or even intimate, but it is fair for us to say that clubmakcrs may take our word for it, that it is well worth their while, during the next week, to make a hard, steady pull to pay up the names they have returned, and to get as many additional names as they possibly can. This advice applies with special force to some of the small eluhmakers, who may have come to the conclusion that they are no longer "in it." DEATH OF COLONEL S. N. STOWE. ; Colonel Samuel Neal Stowe, formerly a 1 well known citizen of Yorkvillc, died at his home at White Bead Hill, Indian Territory, on February 18, aged 72 years. Col ! onol Stowc was a native of South Point ! township, Gaston county, (then included in | Lincoln county,) N. ('. lie devoted his euri ly life to politics, and from 1S4S to 1S50 repi-ocont,wl Lincoln. and from 1850 to 1852 rep resented Gaston county in the North Carolina legislature. About ISoG, lie was also a j candidate for congress, but was defeated. In : 1S53 be removed to Yorkville and engaged i in merchandising, and subsequently engaged , in the hotel business, in the building now I known as the Parish hotel. He first moved i to Texas in 18-">S, but returned to his old I home in IStiO, and was among the first to volunteer his services to the Confederacy. i?fte served in the Confedatc army for four yean}, during which time he was promoted fft<> (lie colonelcy of a regiment. After Ihej war, he again moved to Texas, and shortly ; | iftcrward took up his residence at White! Bead Hill, I. T., where he has continuously [ I * i ' iesided up to the time of his death. Colonel I ' S X. Stowe, the deceased, was a brother of ; C'jlonel Jasper Stowe, Colonel W. A. Stowe, | and Mr. K. It. Stowe, all now living in South [ Point township, of Gaston county, North j Carolina. 80 Hl'SHIOLS TO THK ACRK. i Mr. C. II. Smith, who lives five miles] , southwest Yorkvillc, is one of those farmers j who last year experimented with rice culture. He made a success of it. From Mr. Robert Conrad, he bought five quarts of] seed, which he sowed on one quarter of an j acre. The yield was twenty bushels, or at j the rate of eighty bushels to the acre. Mr. | Smith was in The Enquirer ofiice last I ArA.wl.... ? ,1 /-.l.l tlin clnrv of liisi PYnpri- I *UUUUtlJ J 4&II14 IUIU UIV .7VU. J w. ...? J mcnt askHlows: I -V1T1 n level piece of bottom land, wliich measured a mttb. i^p v.i^? a quarter of an acre. After broadcasting stable manure over the patch, I hroke it up and pulverized it thoroughly with a disk harrow. Next, about the 1st of April, I sowed the rice, just as I would wheat or oats, i Then I built a dam and Hooded the patch, allowing the water to remain on until the rice began to sprout. After the rice sprouted, I let the water off and kept the place dry until the rice was about four or five inches high. The weeds were from two to three inches higher. I let the water on again about up to the first barrel of the rice. Within four or five days, the weeds and" grass began to turn red and die. In less than ten days more, the rice was high enough to allow the weeds and grass to be entirely covered with water. Soon after this was done, the weeds and grass died. I then let the water off and turned it on once or twice more during the growing season as I thought j the rice seemed to require. As the rice began to ripen, I let the patch become thoroughly dry, and when harvest came, it was in first rate condition for handling." Mr. Smith also informs us that he sowed some rice on a piece of upland, and that it made a pretty fair crop. It was sowed about like wheat and required no. more attention than sorghum cane. He says he has been using home-raised rice on his table ever since last summer, and still has plenty to spare. In another column he offers to sell seed to those who wish to try their hands at rice culture. THE BOARD IS OPPOSED. There will be no dispensary at Tirzah. That is, not unless the State board disregards the wishes and judgment of the county board of control. This fact was developed last Monday. The county board held a meeting in the office of the county commissioners. There was present Messrs. Moore, Beckham, Dye and Clerk Brice. After calling the meeting to order, Chairman Moore explained the situation. At a former meeting of the county board, tho matter was referred to the State board, and he read a letter from Private Secretary Tompkins, to the effect that in the judgment of the State board, the dispensary should be established. After reading the letter, the board discussed the matter briefly. Chairman Moore then put the question : "All in favor of the establishment of a dispensary at Tirzah, will say aye." Nobody said aye. "All opposed," continued the chairman, "will say no." "No," said Major Beckham, and "No" said Mr. Dye. That settled the matter, and so far as the county board is concerned, the idea of locating a dispensary at Tirzah is dead. Chairman Moore was in favor of the dispensary. He thought it would pay. It would derive support from the surrounding country, from Yorkville and from Rock Hill, and would finally induce these last named towns to establish dispensaries in self defense. Major Beckham was opposed for several reasons. In the first place, he was not willing to establish dispensaries except in Blacksburg, Rock Hill and Yorkville, which towns, he thinks, are the only ones in the county which can furnish the necessary police protection. In the second place, the the vote by which it was determined to es' 1 " ' v ~* rn,,?ol, u>na nrinpi | taousn a uispensury ui< mi.au, I pally railroad Negroes; and-in the third pluce, the people of the surrounding country are bitterly opposed to a dispensary in the town. Mr. Dye agreed with Major Beckham in the first named reason, but was not informed as to the others. Anyhow, he was opposed to the dispensary. Mr. Brice has no vote, hut, as clerk of the board, he did uot think it wise to establish a dispensary in so small a place. He did not think it would pay, and did not think it would be justice to the surrounding country, which he had reason to believe is bitterly oppoied to it. The next tiling now in order is the action of the State board. This body may peremptorily order the county board to do what it has just voted not to do. In that case, the county board has the alternative of obeying orders or getting out of the way for another board that will obey, 'flie State ! board, however, may acquiesce in the very j good reasons of the county board, and let i the matter drop just where it is. That will, | no doubt, be the proper thing for the State : board to d >. HIGH SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT. Professor A. R. Banks, principal of the Banks High school, gave the people of Vorki ville a delightful little entertainment in the court house last Saturday night. It was ) something of an impromptu airair, having . been postponed from Friday night through [ force of circumstances, and gotten up again | for Saturday night on very short notice. Al! though no effort was made to advertise the I entertainment until late in the afternoon, land only then by "word of mouth," a fairly j good sized audience was present, and every-' | body thought it was good to be there. ! The exercises consisted of music on the j j violin and piano by Mr. A. S. and Miss ! Georgia Withers, declamations by four of the ( j high school students, and a lecture on "How i J to Kise in the World," by Dr. Henry Louis i Smith, of Davidson college. The declamai tions were delivered by the following students j on the subjects named : John X. Gaston, Richburg?"Tribute to j Jefferson Davis." I J. B. Caldwell, Lesslic?"Protest Against ! Materialism." W. C. Stewart, Rock Hill?"The Polish ; Boy." '? ' Tfi? KIT..:..,,* j Jennings k. Owens, hock iiui? *. . njuat ! National Acquisition." j All the young men acquitted themselves , most creditably, and were liberally rewardj ed with storms of applause from the entire auI dience and pretty boquets of flowers from j the young ladies. The comment should not j be understood as in any way detracting from j the other deelaimers, but it is fair to say | that the work of young Owens is deserving 1 of special mention, as reflecting great credit) | not only upon himself, but on his teacher' | as well, lie shows evidence of having learn- j I ed or been learned to "talk in italics," or ! | modulate his voice in a way to give desired ! emphasis to his words, with a judgment , that is unusual in a student of his age. I ! Dr. Smith spoke lor pernaps mree-quar-i ! ters of an hour, and held the interest of'hisl ' hearers throughout. The main tests of sue-! cess, he said, were a pure, unselfish and j blameless life devoted to the welfare and j I promotion of society generally. Success is not to be measured altogether by tho acJ quisition of money or of power and influence. Such a test was applied by some, but it was | wrong. lie then went on to point out the means by which various individuals, such as Abraham Lincoh^Vndrew Johnson, Thomas JHIfltf^^^H>thers world, and showed how every young mar inrl nvprv vnnnir woman. especially of tlit South, hud limitless opportunities to rise t( the top in whatever vocation or profession In conclusion, he represented all success a; being built upon a tripod, the three support! of which are energy, character and educa lion. All three were necessary, hut the lirsi two were more or less impotent without tin third. Dr. Smith's lecture throughout was clear plausible, and to most of the audience, con vincing. Xo individual who heard bin would willingly neglect an opportunity tc hear him again. AHOUT PEOPLE. Mr. II. l'\ Adickes is at home for a feu days. Mr. Hugh McL.

He now occupies a responsible position that is very close to the manager. DEATH OF COLONEL W. B. WILSON. Colonel W. B. Wilson, one of the best known, and most prominent citizens of York county, died at his home in Yorkville last Saturday evening at 7.30 o'clock, aged 66 years 10 months and 27 days. He had been unwell for several weeks, but was not thought to be dangerously ill until Friday, when he began to rapidly sink. The immediate cause of his death was pneumonia, superinduced by grip. William Blackburn Wilson was born in Columbia. S. C., on April 5, 1826. His father was the Rev. William Stanyarue Wilson, and his mother was a daughter of George Blackburn, L. L. I)., a distinguished educator, who first occupied a chair in William and Mary college, Virginia, and later in the South Carolina college. Cninnoi wsiann rpppived his academic edu cation iu the once famous Cokesbury institute, in Abbeville county, and in October, 1843, entered the South Carolina college as a sophomore. After a brilliant career oi three years, in 1846, he was graduated from the college with first honor, and in a post graduate course of one year, he earned the degree of A. M. Immediately after his graduation, Colonel Wilson began the study of law, under the late Chancellor Caldwell, and was admitted to the bar in May, 1848. He located ir Yorkville shortly afterward, and formeid e a partnership with the late I. I). Witherspoon. This partnership continued until the death of Mr. Witherspoon, when Colonel Wilson formed a partnership with I. D Witherspoon, Jr., now judge of the Sixth circuit. Since the dissolution of that firm the colonel has been practing with his son W. B. Wilson, Jr. Colonel Wilson entered the war as a private, and after nine months service in the Beaufort Artillery, he was promoted to the captaincy of a color company. Later, he was made colonel of the Sixth regiment o S. C. V. Afterward, for a time, he acted af brigadier general, and at the close of tin war, he was adjutant of the Third Military uiau iui. Always popular with the voters, Colonei Wilson was three times sent to represenl York county in Columbia. In 1853 he was elected a member of the house of represen tatives at the head of the ticket. He was r member of the secession convention of I860, and in 1882 he again became a member o the State legislature. His last election, like his first, was practically unanimous. Colonel Wilson has lived a useful life. As a lawyer he was an energetic and painstak iug worker. He always sought to do his duty, and it was seldom that ho lost a case that he thought he should have won. H< wa3 a member of the Episcopal church. In deed, he was the first, and for a long tim< the only, Episcopalian in the county. Il was largely due to his efforts that an Episco pal church was organized in Yorkville ; anc it is probably to him, more than any othei one individual, that the Episcopal congrega tion owes the handsome little church building in which it now worships. Colonel Wilson's funeral took place or last Monday morning at half-past 10 o'clock and was largely attended by citizens o Yorkville and several from Rock Hill. Tin religious services were conducted by Bishop Capers, assisted by Rev. Mr. Uuerry, rectoi of the church here, and Rev. Mr. Sweeny rector of the Episcopal church at Rock Hill Colonel Wilson was a member of th< Knight's of Honor, in which organization h< held a benefit certificate for $2,000. LOCAL LACONICS.
