a sure go. The sum of $125,000 on r

French Guiana. The line between a
French Guiana and Brazil has been a c

One day recently, it resulted in an s
armed conflict between French and 1
Brazilian troops. Just what the mer- a
its of the case are cannot be stated a
with the information at hand ; but the d
understanding is that France has de- 1
inanded redress, and Brazil has de- s
manded an explanation. Brazil is 1

They are, of course, antiquated and no
longer of service as modern war ves- :
sels. Recently there has been some
discussion as to the best thing to do
with them, and the authorities seem to
have about settled on the idea of towing
them out to sea and let them
serve as targets for the fleet of Admiral
Bunce. The process of destroying
the iron clads with shots from the big
guns, will give the naval officials some
valuable ideas as to the efficiency or
shortcomings of their modern engines

? A horrible railroad collisiou occur- r
red in Canada, near Quebec, on Tues- v
day. Two heavily loaded excursion
trains, filled with Roman Catholics, n
was proceeding to Quebec, where a a
big religious celebration was in prog- li
ress. One train was 15 minutes ahead v
of the other. The train in front stop- p
ped for water, and the train that was t
following, suddenly crashed iuto the
rear eud of it. The rear car of train
No. 1 and the engine of train No.' 2 0
were completely demolished. The t
other cars were all more or less wreck- 1;
ed. Twenty people, including several a
priests, were killed outright, and a
large number of people were wounded.
It is supposed that the engineer of the ,
rear train was asleep. J
? An exciting scene of bloodshed
-r />L: ti
was witnessed iu me city ui v/iuuagu
last Monday. A man named C. E. s
Cole walked into a salmon and asked n
the proprietor, P. G. McGlorin, for a n
glass of beer. After the beer was dis- jj
patched, Cole claimed that he had a
piece of meat in McGlorin's ice box, .
and McGlorin started to step in and !
see. Drawing a revolver, Cole ordered 8
McGlorin to go into the box and stay s
there. McGloriu knocked Cole dowu, c
and there ensued a lively struggle, as rj
the result of which Cole pounded Mc- n
Glorin with his revolver and broke for
the street. Bleeding profusely, McGlorin
followed the would-be robber. s
A number of citizens joined the chase, ii
and Cole began firing into the crowd. C
Suddenly, the fugitive was brought to D
bay by two policemen in citizens' cloth- ^
iug. The fellow turned on the crowd
again and fired two more shots. One
struck a man named Sternberg in the
stomach and produced a mortal wound,
and the other broke the leg of a man t
named Stone. About this time the
policemen referred to shot twice at v
the fugitive. One shot missed; the
other took effect in the fellow's stomach
and killed him. F
? The weather bureau, in its review *
of crop conditions for the week ended c
July 8th, says: The temperature ^
conditions of the week have been gen- g
erally favorable throughout the conn- t
try; but the Northern and Central s
portions of the cotton region have suffered
from excessive rains, while
drought conditions in Michigan and ?
Minnesota have been intensified. ^
Northern New York, Central Ohio c
and Eastern Iowa are also suffering q
from drought. Too much rain has r
seriously injured cotton in Arkansas, ^
and in Alabama and Mississippi the
crop is grassy; but in Texas and Georgia,
the conditions have been favora- 1
ble for growth and cultivation and the v
crop has improved. North Carolina v
reports cotton in poor condition and
sufiering from lice.; lice are also causing
injury in South Carolina; but iu
that State the crop is in geuerally fine a
condition. Corn has made rapid 1
growth during the week and the gen- 1;
eral outlook for spring wheat contin- o
ues flattering. Tobacco is growing c
well in Kentucky; but the crop is *
uneven ; in Maryland it is iu excellent
condition, and iu Ohio it has improved, 8
except in the central part of the State, 1
where it is suffering from drought. u

American Bimetallic league, has writteu

Bimetallic league respectfully invites .
the committee on sound currency to a

AS TO NEW COUNTIES.
The Abbeville Press and Banner,
ike a great many people in this secion,
is very much exorcised over the
dea that an attempt will be made in
he coming constitutional convention
o greatly reduce the area (625 square
uiles) at present required for the formition
of a new county. It says:
No new county should be organized,
xeept on consent, by popular vote, of a
uajority of the people living in the dill'er
ent counties from which it is proposed U
take territory. Without the consent of i
majority of the peoplo voting in each o
the counties, no new county should be or
ganized anywhere.
Proceeding with its argument, th<
Press and Banner refers to the law foi
the formation of new States, and sug
gests that the law for the formation o
new counties should be constructet
along similar lines. It presents th<
following as a just analogy :

BAPTIST HIGH SCHOOL.
. An iraportunt meeting of the board
of trustees of the Baptist High school
was held in Yorkvilleon last Tuesday.
There was a good attendance of the
' members of the board, and some im.
portant business was transacted.
> The first and most important work
s to be accomplised, was the selection of
au executive head for the institution.
' This was settled by the election of
[ Rev. W. O. Petty, of Yorkville, and
I G. T. Gresbara, of Union as co-princiI
pals. The election was made with
the understanding that these gentle;
men will take charge of the school at
once, and proceed to get things in
; shape for continuing its sessions in
. the fall.
Rev. W. J. Langs ton, who has been
s chairman of the board of trustees since
' the establishment of the school, asked
| to be relieved of the duties of that
' positiou. The board granted his request,
and elected H. R. Moslev, of
Rock Hill, as his successor.
The new principals of the high
! school are both practical instructors
! of large experience. Mr. Petty, who
| has been a citizen of Yorkville- for
several months, is a graduate of Rich
mond college, Ya.; Columbian uuiver1
sity, Washington; and the Southern
' Baptist Theological seminary. He
j. has had charge of several churches;
but has been forced to give up preachf
iug on account of his health. Mr.
Gresham is also a graduate of Rich'
mond college and the Southern Baptist
! Theological seminary, and is now
^ clerk of the South Carolina Baptist
State convention.
The present understanding is that
the preparatory department of the
" school will be in charge of Mrs. W.. O.
Petty, who is a graduate of the Missouri
State Normal college, aud the
? music department will continue in
charge of Prof. H. H. Savage, already i
well aud favorably knowu in this sec- i
tiou as an able and successful teacher i
of vocal aud instrumental music. <
Other announcements in regard to the s
school will be made later. ]

WORK OX THE STREETS.
On being asked, a day or two ago, j
for his views iu regard to the proposi- ,
tion to issue bonds for the purpose of (
macadamizing the streets of York- (
ville, Intendant Moore made some sug
gestious that will prove interesting.
He said :
"I don't like the proposition for the
issuance of bouds for street purposes, '
at least not for the present. I think it
better to proceed slowly. We have a i
pretty considerable capital in the chain
gang. Let use this with what money
we can procure from regular sources, .
and borrow, little by little, wben we '
are obliged to. Then if there is no
way to pay back what the present i
council or its successor may have bor- I
rowed, let us issue bonds. The advan- i
tage of this plan lies in the fact that
we will not be likely to spend auy ]
more money than will be absolutely <
necessary, and what we do spend is I
likelv to be aDoortioned with more|
/ ? - - * Jk
equity and economy." i
Mr. Moore said that the town council
had already arranged for the use of
the crusher that belongs to the county,
and for the necessary rock with which
to macadamize a section of Main
street, say from one cross street to the
other. This preliminary work will be
rather in the nature of an experiment,
after the completion of which it will be
more easy to decide what is the next ^
best thing tc do. It is probable that
an experiment will also be made to |
test the practicability of taking up the (
old macadam with which the streets
are now paved, crushing it and replacing
it in accordance with more practi- (
cal reqairements. ,
SOMEWHAT MIXED.
Chairman Brice, of the County Dem- '
ocratic Executive committee, desires 1
us to call especial attentiou to the correction
of a mistake that occurred in
the writing of the primary election 1
advertisement published in Wednesday's
issue. In the advertisement, the 1
basis of agreement reached in the re- 1
cent conference was summed up as
{
jujiuvva .
The two Reformers and the two Conservatives,
running as sueh respectively,
receiving the highest number of votes,
shall be taken as four of the nominees of
said primary; and the person receiving
the next highest vote, whether he be Conservative
or Reformer, shall be taken as
the fifth nominee.
The resolution actually adopted by
the conference and which, under the
circumstances, must be the law of the
party in this county, reads as follows :
Resolved 4. That the five candidates for
the constitutional convention for York
county, be nominated by primary elec
tion, and be divided between the Reform
and Conservative factions as ionows,
to-wit: The candidate of either faction ,
receiving the highest number of votes in
the primary, to be the first or odd dele- 1
gate, and the two candidates from the Reform
factions, and the two candidates
from the Conservative faction receiving s
the next highest number of votes in the .
primary, to be the remaining four delegates.
1
On looking into the matter carefully,
Chairmau Briee has arrived at the con- I
elusion that the summing up of the <
agreement as advertised, is probably I
not altogether in accordance with the s
above resolution, and in the following <
he seeks to make it more explicit: '
The candidate receiving the highest '
number of votes cast in the primary, j
whether he be Conservative or Reformer,
shall be one nominee, and the two Con- 1
servatives and the two Reformers, running
as such, respectively, who shall re
(reive the next highest number of votes, 1
shall be the other four nominees. i
Probably there is not a great deal of (
difference either way ; but the correc- t
tion is more in accordance with the (
wording of the resolution which, under t
any circumstances, will have to govern. \
WILL MURDER OUT ?
With the acquittal of Wilse Mont- (
gomery, last week, the Bob Feemster ?
murder case has become a mystery
that promises to long continue as <
a source of uneasiness to the people ^
of this community. .
Of the fact that a murder was com- j
mitted, of course there is uo doubt, 6
and that the murderer is still sliuk- j
ing amongst us, with his fiendish cunning
and dreadful ferocity, ready to
commit the same crime again, upon
inclination and opportunity, is not j
pleasant to contemplate.
Solicitor Henry said the other day ?
that he knew a similar case in Chester, j
A murder was committed. People
had a suspicion as to who did it; but ?
gave the matter no serious attention.
Aftera while the first murder was j
followed by another and another, uu- <
til at last the people became thorough- t
ly arroused, began to work up evi- j
dence, and brought about a hanging. ?
Referring to the case of Feemster, ?
Judge Earle said to several people c
that when the mystery is cleared up, ^
if it ever is, it will be found that Wilse e
^ r -A -? ti At litnnr t a rl A M'if h
lUUIlU^UUiCl y 1JUU uviuiu^ iu V4\s Hit.. J
it. Though there are those who differ j
with the Judge, the question, so far j
Montgomery is concerned, is settled. B
Having once been put iu jeopardy of t
his life for this offense, the coustitu- t
lion of the State guarantees that he i
cannot be tried again.
But this case should not be forgot- i
ten. Montgomery will have to be t
dropped out of it; but let the officials t
aud citizens generally keep it in their
recollection, and also keep their eyes
open, and if they should run upon any
suspicious circumstances in the future,
pointing to other parties, let them
take proper legal action at once. We
Jo not want a repetition of the
incideuts reported from Chester, and
we do not want to continue in dread '
of the bloody monster who murdered J
the colored man, Robert Feemster. 4

Was Not Excited.
Dr. W. G. White desires us to say
.hat the suggestion that he was "exited"
over the jail guarding business
ast Friday night is a mistake. He
says he was present when Mr. Henry
tsfl'ered to guard the jail alone ; but he A
was not instrumental in having a posse
summoned, and in fact took no stock
u the alarm, whatever.
Down to 250 Bales.
Mr. B. N. Noore, than whom pro- 4
jably there is no better informed man ?
n the country on the subject, says
hat at this time there are . not more
han 250 bales of unsold cotton in the
sounty. Of the number referred to,
here are probably as many as 100 bales
n Bethel township. There is less coton
in the hands of the farmers of the
sounty right now, probably, than at
iny time since the war. j
