Scraps and jacts. ? A Chinaman named Gee Sing died in a Chicago hospital last Sunday, it is believed, from the effects of poison. The authorities announced that before the body could be buried, a post mortem must be held. The announcement created great excitement in the Chinese quarter. Prominent Chinamen say that if the post mortem is held, it will forever debar the dead man from associating with bis fellowmflii in t.ho n?Ti, world, and thev nro *"v" *" VMV - j A pose to invoke the aid of the Chinese consul at San Francisco to prevent the ' operation. ? The American and English residents of Tien Tsin, China, have issued an address to their respective governments asking intervention in behalf of the persecuted missionaries. It is claimed that the Chinese officials are in full sympathy with the mobs, and that neither Great Britain nor the United States can secure. any cessation of the outrages by means of diplomacy. The Chinese care but little for human life, and upon demand for the punishment of the murderers, the government will blandly chop off the heads of a number of inoffensive and innocent citizens and turn them over as the guilty parties. This has been done on more than one occasion before, and for that reason those who understand the situation say that the only remedy is for foreign governments to step in and do the punishment themselves. ? Just before be killed himself, a day or two ago, A. J. Morton, an eccentric recluse and politician, of Waterbury, Conn, sat down at his table and penned a brief screed in which he bade the world farewell, and gave a digest of Vyia oioma mi fVia mnnpv miAstinn. He said : "I bate a life that has in it worse than death ; I choose a nobler fate." Then he attacked monometalism: "From earliest maturity I have said I never would, never, advocate a single standard as a baisis for the measure of values of this world. * * * I love life; but not to that degree that forces me to conform to a single gold standard as a basis for money. I would rather go back upon the mountaius in the State where I was born, and feed upon bark and berries, than live within the influence of such a cursed aristocracy as a gold standard for a basis of our currency will bring upon us." He said finally, "I never will conform. I will not sneeze when a purse proud aristocracy takes snuff. Farewell, poor fellow! I go further on !" ' ? All is not harmony in Iowa. The recent State Democratic convention endorsed Cleveland and declared against free silver; but there are thou sands oi good uemocrais wno cmim the resolutions of the convention do not represent the sentiment of the party iu the State. Their version of the circumstance is about this. Most of the old Democratic leaders have been appointed to office by Mr. Cleveland. For some reason, in the selection of delegates to the convention, the money question was not seriously considered. There was no fight over the selection of delegates to the convention. The officeholders went as delegates mainly because they had acted in that capacity before. Altogether, there were 125 of them, and, as a matter of course, they took occasion to pass resolutions complimentary to their patron, Mr. Cleveland, and favorable to gold. Tbe resolutions had the effect of waking the people up, and now there are signs of a formidable reTolt. There is little reason to doubt that a big majority of tbe Democrats in the State are strongly in favor of the free coinage of silver. ? Patents have recently been taken out for an electric locomotive that is intended to pull cars at the rate of from 110 to 150 miles an hour, and the probability is that before many months have elapsed, some of these locomotives will be in practical operation between some of the larger Northern rMH<?Q?cav \ew York. Washiueton. Baltimore, Philadelphia and Boston. Those who have the scheme under consideration, say the very nature of the case requires the construction of roads especially adapted to 'the purpose. As curves would be dangerous, the roads must be perfect air lines. In order to secure such a tremendous rate of speed, the cars must necessarily be small, and, therefore, only a few passengers cau be carried at a time. It is the intention, however, to run trains at intervals of five minutes. The track will either have to be elevated or underground, so as to avoid the danger of crossings, and as .local travel will not be worth catering for, there will be no switches or side-tracks. The men who have control of the patents say that the only consideration now in the way of carryiug out their plan9 is the question as to which of the big railroads will pay them the most for a monopoly. Several of the roads, they say, are preparing to make offers. ? Edward W. Bemis, professor of antinnmv nt t.hft C^hiraco uni JJUUUVIU VVVUWUJ ?- O versity, and one of the best known authorities in his special line in the United States, has resigned his position by request. His friends say that his scalp dangles at the belt of the money kings and monopolists. Bemis is a pupil of Dr. Ely, the well-known and able instructor of political economy in the University of Wisconsin. For years he has been denouncing trusts aud monopolists. He did not endorse the great Pullman strike. There were certain features of it that he considered unjustifiable on the part of the strikers. About the time of the strike, however, he delivered a lecture to a congregation of Chicago millionaires. Among other things, he said: "The railroads, too, are lawbreakers. They are in fact as much lawbreakers as the strikers." Marvin Hughitt, president of the Chicago and Northwestern railroad, stepped up to the pulpit, and said: "I consider that language outrageous. To imply that the railroads cannot come into the courts with clean hands, is infamous." From that incident dated the beginning of Professor Bemis's downfall. John D. Rockefeller, the Standard Oil magnate has don8.ted $4,000,000 to the Chicago university at different times, and Mr. Yerkes, the Chicago railroad king, sometime ago, gave the institution a $500,000 telescope. It is believed that through these capitalists, the professor lost his position. The idea is also developing that the real reason for the contribution of millionaires to institutions like the Chicago university, is in order that the doctrines taught in these institutions may be controlled in the interest of capital as against labor generally. She ^JorluiUe (fnquitrt. YOItKVILLE, S. C.: FRIDAY, AUGUST 16, 1895. ? Twenty-two States are represented in the big silver conference now going on at Washington. The conference was called to order on Wednesday at noon, and after appointing a committee on platform, adjourned until yesterday morning at 10 o'clock. The understanding is that the committee is to consider nothing but the financial question, and will issue an address to the people of the country. After that, a special committee, to consist of one member from each State, will be organized to take charge of the important matter of seeing to it that none of the free silver States especially, send to the National Democratic convention, any but free silver delegates. The address of the conference will be brief and will declare unequivocally for the free and unlimited coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1. ? Special correspondents of some of the daily papers usually color their news to suit the policy of the papers they represent. News associations furnish the same reports to different subscribers of various policies, and necessarily confine themselves to bare and impartial facts. The News and Courier has a special correspondent in Washington, and it is also a subscriber to the reports of a news association. Both the correspondent and the news association had something to say about the opening of the big free silver conference in Washington last Tuesday. The special correspondent described the conference as promising to be a dead failure, and the news association gave the facts to show that it promised to be quite a formidable affair. The discrepancy between the two reports was quite ridiculous, and in printing them one under the other, The News and Courier clearly showed the bias of its "always reliable" correspondent. I1 ? The Washington correspondent of the St. Louis Republic has discovered ' a plausible excuse for all this talk 1 about a third term for President Cleveland. It is not believed that the presdent has any idea that he could be elected to a third term ; but he has good reasons for remaining silent on the subject. His fpend, Mr. Whitney, wants to be president next time. The general sentiment of the Democratic I party is in favor of a Western man. The hands of office-holders generally are tied until they see what Mr. Cleveland is going to do. If he runs, they waut to be in a position to sup- , port him, in order to insure the stability of their jobs. The longer the matter is put off, the better the chances of Mr. Whitney will be. Mr. Cleveland wishes to help his friend as much as ( possible, and for that reason he is , keeping silent. Except on the tariff, Mr. Whitney stands for all that Mr. Cleveland stands for, and he will be 1 generally acceptable to the Eastern wing of the party. THE CHINESE OUTRAGES. Though the use of the sword is not justified by the teachings of Christ under any circumstances, the duty 01 the United States government in relation to the outrages now being perpetrated on Christian missionaries by Chinese fanatics, seems to be perfectly clear. The Chinese should be given to understand that missionaries must be protected, and it would be well for this government to at once give the cowardly ruffians a lesson that even the most brutal of them will never forget. It is true that the earlier Christian missionaries suffered persecution and death and gloried in their tribulations. It is also true that many of the missionaries of today are just as zealous as were their predecessors of old, and would willingly go through the same terrible ordeals; but the situation is different now from what it was in earlier times. When Nero and other inhuman Roman emperors made bonfires of Christians and fed them to wild beasts, all the world looked on with applause. Among all the nations, there was not one with the power or even the inclination to put a stop to such horrible cruelties. Such is not the case now. These modern ambassadors of Christ are also representatives of the most powerful people on the face of the earth, and although the contrary can be argued with reason, it seems that this people should lose no time in giving them protection. The Chinese should be taught that they can accept the Christion religion or not as they see fit; but under all circumstances the penalty for violence to Christian missionaries will be annihilation. ? Though the Cuban insurrectionists claim to be having a picnic whipping the Spaniards, they are in a serious quandary. They say they have it in their power to strike the decisive blow that will end the war whenever they see fit; but they are not ready. The Negroes are in a big majority in Cuba and are doing good service in the insurrection. If the war would come to an end now, the Negroes would organize and control whatever independent government that might be formed. The leaders deem it advisable to prolong the war until they can make such arrangements as will insure white political supremacy. WAIFS FROM WARREN. A Successful Meeting?Wants a Republican Ticket?Studying the Silver QuestionOther Notes. Correspondence of the Yorkvllle Enquirer. Warren, August 12.?The protracted meeting at Anfioch closed yesterday. Rev. Mr. Betts preached some able sermons, and I learn that a great many have resolved to turn from their evil ways and try to tread the strait and narrow path. An Independent or a Republican ticket, put in the field at the approaching election, would doubtless be of immense benefit to some of our white people. It would at least show them that they still had the right of franchise and cause them to make use of that right.

C., wrote to Mr. H. C. Strauss, of Yorkville, for information as to prices of lands in the immediate vicinity of this place. The Enquirer made a statement of the fact that Mr. Strauss was acting for an intending purchaser, and in a few days Mr. Strauss was offered the refusal of a half dozen plantations. Mr. Stephenson came over to make a selection. He found several places that he thought would suit him ; but in every instance, when he asked for prices, the owners named over $30 an acre. As yet there has been no sale. ABOUT PEOPLE. J. K. Alstop, Esq., of Columbia, is in Yorkville. J. W. Thomson, of Blacksburg was in town last Wednesday.

Though some sections of the county 1 are complaining of protracted drought 1 and grei.t injury to the crops, generally, the county over, there have been abundant rains and crops are good. Fort Mill township has probably mffered from drought more than any other particular section. At last advices portions of the townhips had had qo rain for nearly a month, and crops , were literally burning up. The Black iacks, the Point, Clay Hill and Clover i sections have also been quite dry ; but , have not been hurting so badly as , Fort Mill. I McConnellsville and Hickory Grove , have been having fairly good rains, and crops are well up to an average ; i but nothiDg to brag on. ] Reports from Blacksburg, Betbaoy, < Carp, Tirzah, Catawba Junction, Blairs- j ville and Bullock's Creek, are to the < effect that rain has been frequent and < plentiful and the condition of crops is first class. I It has been a noticeable fact that j while there has hardly been a day 1 during the past month in which there | has not been some rain in some por- ] Lion of the county, there are numer- 3 ous streaks, varying from two to three miles in width, that have hardly got- I ten the benefit of a single shower. i c THEY BUILT THE WALL. j Where there is a will there is a way, ( and when a whole neighborhood sets , its head to a given purpose, there is { no telling what can be accomplished. | This fact was beautifully illustrated at } Beersheba church last Wednesday. The old church yard, coutaiuiug two ^ acres, enclosed with a stone wall in | 1836, was growing too small, and sometime ago the people decided upon the advisability of tearing down the old wall and enclosing another acre. Pursuant to a notice in The Enquirer of the 7th instant, about 100 men and 25 wagons, appeared at the church ; at daylight last Wednesday morning and went to work. , "Well, sir; it was the biggest day's ] work you ever saw," said an enthusi- i I astic participant to a reporter for The j Enquirer, yesterday. "We just got ( down to business without any foolish- j ness, and every man of us worked for j all he was worth. It was necesssary ? to haul the rock from about a mile to t a mile-and-a-half, and if all the rock < that was hauled had been put in one pile, it would have made a pretty 1 good sized little mountain. We stop- s ped a little while for dinner; but soon ] got at it again, and worked on until late in the afternoon, when we were stopped by a shower. During the day we tore down and put back 300 feet of the old wall, and added 600 feet of new. The original inteution was to make the old wall go as far as it would and then piece out the balance with wire. But after we began to realize what we could do, we just went to work and built the whole thiug with stone." Among the wallbuilders were three old men who helped to build the original wall away back in 1836. These were J. M. M. Cain, Leslie Burns and Robiu Love. Wheu the workers were 1 *L. _1 L 1 *!.? : _ driven iqio tue cnuruii u_y iue imu, Mr. Love, who is a splendid talker, gave au interesting story of his long connection with the community, spiritually and otherwise, aud was listened to with marked attention.

The Yorkvillians who went on Karaseur's Asheville excursion returned home yesterday morning at about 7 o'clock, tired and sleepy, but protesting that they had had a splendid trip and enjoyed themselves immensely. From all reports, the excursion was a big success, especially from a financial standpoint. When the train reached Asheville it consisted of an engine and nine cars, all well filled. The whole number of people aboard is given out as 625, which the railroad people of Asheville say is the largest crowd that has come into the city on one train for several vears. The excursionists were all delighted with the magnificent scenery on the route and about Asbeville. Most of them put in their time visiting points of interest in and around the city ; but only a few got out to see the Vanderbilt building. A crowd of naughty excursionists, a few days before, had pulled the flowers, and the gates were locked. Both going and coming, the train was badly delayed, and the excursionists were put to considerable annoyance. For this, however, the managers were in nowise to blame" The fault was altogether with the railroad people. The managers were studiously attentive to their passengers and deserve lots of credit for the splendid success of the trip. With very few exceptions, the crowd ivas made up of the best people along the line of the O., R. & C. railroad, aud the best of order and good behavior obtained. There was only one especially annoying case of drunkenness, and that was just as the train was leaving Asheville. True to his promise, Captain Ramseur turned the offenner over to the police and left him to get home the best way he could. LOCAL LACONICS. Until January 1896.

The promised musical entertainment for the benefit of the town clock fund, under the direction of Miss Williamson, is to. take place in the court aouse next Tuesday night at 8.30 j'clock. Miss Williamson will be aslisted by some fine talent from Chester aud Charlotte, and the entertainment bids fair to be highly creditable. [t Is a Fine Sample. Mr. J. B. F.

The town council has commenced she work of taking up the large cobble stones with which Main street is paved, crushing them and putting tflem back. There is a general feeling among those who have been giving special attention to the matter, that this a move in the right direction, and it can be followed up with great benefit from one end of town to the other, f ' and without extraordinary cost. Under False Pretenses. Wm. Sanders, colored, was committed to jail on Wednesday on the charge of obtaining goods under false pfetenses. The prosecutor is Mr. Hogue, the miller at Black's mill, two miles west of Yorkville. Mr. Hogue \ went to dinner and left the mill in v charge of some Negro boys. Presently Sanders came along and asked for his grist. The boys told him they did not kuow which was his. He said that he could find it, and going into the mill, he took one of a number of grists that were awaiting delivery. When Mr. Hogue returned, he discovered that the Negroes had beeu swindled. There had been no grist at the mill that belonged to Sanders. BLACKSBl'RG BUDGET. Refreshing Showers?Meeting at the Baptist Church?Death of Mrs. J. L. Hartwell.

A protracted meeting was begun at the Baptist church on Sunday. It will be conducted by Rev. Mr. Bailey, the pastor, assisted by Rev. Mr. Booth, of Union county. Mrs. J. L. Hartwell died at her home in this place yesterday morning at 2 o'clock, aged 48 years. She moved to this place about nine years ago, and during her residence here won the esteem and love of all who knew her. She was always pleasant and gracious in her demeanor to all persons, a true friend, a devoted wife and mother, a consistent member of the Baptist church, and during a painful illness of several months, she bore her affliction with a becoming Christian fortitude 4 and a calm resignation to the will of her heavenly father. Her remains were carried to Lincolnton, N. C., her former home, for interment. w. a. LETTER FROM LOWRYSVILLE. The Long: Drought Broken?Personal Mention?Went to Aiihevllle. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. * Lowrysville, August 14.?The long drought that has been .prevailing in this section was"broken by a good rain last Tuesday. Crops of all kinds except corn have been greatly benefitted. Mr. J. M. Simpson has returned from Florida, where he has been for the past several months. Mrs. S. W. Inman is visiting her' sister, Mrs. S. W. Guy. Miss Jennie Hardee, of Hardeeville, is visiting relatives here. Miss Duffy, of Columbia, is at Mrs. Riley's. Mr. J. L.

Uniform Hours of Labor.?The last Massachusetts legislature passed resolutions in favor ot th? adoption of uniform hours of labor throughout the several States. This is the important part of the resolve : "That the senate and house of representatives of the commonwealth of Massachusetts, in general court assem bled, believing tbat tne puouc interesc and the interests of capital and labor alike will be best subserved by uniform hours of labor throughout the several States, respectfully request the senators and representatives in congress from this commonwealth, to use their influence to secure legislation J to that end." 1 It was also resolved that the Massachusetts labor commission for the promotion of uniformity in legislation ' ? among the several States, be requested to bring the question before the next congress of such commissioners. There are now 26 States represented in these conferences, and the next one will be held August 26 at Detroit. The Massachusetts representatives will bring up the uniform labor day question at /. this meeting. It will not take an eight hours turn, probably ; but an attempt will be made to secure the more general adoption of the shorter day prevailing in this State for women and minors.?Springfield (Mass.) Republican. ? A serious riot between whites and blacks was narrowly averted at Winston, N. C., last Sunday night. It was given out in the colored churches during the day that an attempt was going to be made to lynch Arthur Tuttle, a j Neirro on trial for the nrurder of a 1 policeman named Yickers, last May. After services, about 150 Negroes organized and marched to the jail, where * they remained for several hours. They were armed with guns and pistols. The Negroes said that they would leave if the sheriff would put a guard of 20 meu around the jail. This was done; but many of the mob refused to go away. Sheriff McArthur then ordered out the Forsyth Rifles, and in addition swore in a number of deputies. Judge Brown also instructed the sheriff to arrest those who did not leave. The mob began firing on the officers and struck several of them with small shot. The riflemen fired several volleys into the crowd and u caused a general scatterment in short order. Strange to say, nobody was seriously hurt during the disturbance. Within the past few days several of the rioters have been arrested and committed to jail, and the jail is now being guarded with a Gatling gun, manned by four members of the rifle company.
