Scraps and .facts. j ? That the proposed Corbett-Fitz simmous prize tight will Dot take r place in Texas, now appears to he r reasonably certain. The general as- t sembly met on Tuesday ; but there f was no quorum until Wednesday. , Bills were introduced in both house and seuate. The senate bill was passed in about five minutes. The house was not quite so expeditious. Several ' members wanted to be heard and made speeches. They also made several amendments, which made the measure still more stringent. After about three houne, the bill was passed by a vote of 107 to 5. The senate is likely to accept the amendments, and there will be no friction. When the * c* -,t- :ii bili becomes a law, prize ngnimg wm be e felony, punishable with imprisonment in the State penitentiary for not less thau two nor more than five years. The managers of the proposed fight are now considering the practicability of having it pulled off in Mexico. ? There will be no more massacres of | missionaries in China. At least, it is not likely that there will. After satis- ' fyiDg itself that the recent massacres were made with the full cognizance ' and approval of the viceroy in charge i of the Sze Chuen province, the British , government sent out a fleet of 12 war j ships to make demand for proper reparation. After the war ships got into the,Yang-tse-Kiang river, a note was sent to the Chinese emperor informing him that Viceroy Liu, who instigated i the massacres, must be degraded from office, and not allowed to occupy any high position of authority under the government agaiu. The emperor complied with the order forthwith, and Liu, a viceroy from another part of the empire, who has the reputation of being friendly toward foreigners, was put in hisplace. Liu is said to be a bloodthirsty brute and has been in the habit of persecuting the missionaries for the purpose of currying favor with the masses under his government. He al lowed some jrrencn uainoucs to ue murdered about a year ago, and as the result had to pay out of his own pocket something like $1,000,000. In the event that there is any more interference with her missionaries, Great Britain promises to shake things up in the province in a way that will astouish the natives, and is as well known, she is not disposed to put up with any 1 foolishness in such matters. ? Belle Boyd, the female Confederate i spy, has come out of her troubles at i Griffin, Ga., with flying colors. The , main circumstances of her arrest on the charge of "jumping her board bill" 1 were published in Wednesday's paper. It seems that when Landlord Cham- 1 hers had her brought back from ' Barnesville, she gave him a piece of i her mind iu a way to leave no doubt as to exactly what she meant. When ^ she brought charges against him for false imprisonment, he sought to retal- 1 iate by prosecuting her before the ' *LA rtUrtW/vA A C I Illitvur UU llic uuaigr \ji uioui uvi tj conduct. She auswered the charge last Saturday. There was a large < crowd, including a number of Confed- 1 crate veterans, at the trial. Mrs. | High told her story in a straight forward raauner, and it at once became evident that she had a good case. ' The attorney for the prosecution made ' his speech, and the attorney for tho s defense started to reply. Before he j got half through, the mayor told biru . to stop, that he had heard enough ; he , had made up bis mind, and the defendant was not guilty. The big 1 crowd broke into an enthusiastic cheer, 1 and the old veterans showered con- i gratulatious on the ex-spy. From 1 Griffin, Mrs. High went back to | Barnesville, where she lectured Mou day night. On Wednesday night she lectured at West Point, and last night she was billed for another lecture at ' Griffin. The old soldiers provided the t opera house free, and the understand- 1 iug was they were going to literally j fill it to overflowing. ? Prof. Louis Pasteur, the most eminent bacteriologist of the world, aud 5 the greatest Frouchmau of his day, died in Paris last Monday, of paralysis. Pasteur was born in the department of nn 1 lu/mniKor 97 1 Q99 Ho / poor ; but that fact never hampered him in the least. He studied chemistry especially, with the closest application, and in this brauch of knowledge rapidly developed as a most wonderful genius. It had long been the theory of scientists that the decay of organic substances was due to chemical action. Pasteur proved differently. He discovered that there constantly exists in the air certain forms of life that are always seeking fields sympathetic to their growth. These fields are, of course, organic bodies, under certain conditions. The forms of life referred to. now known as microbes, take posession of a favorable field, and iu sustaining themselves destroy the organism with which they come in contact. Applying his discovery, he found his famous cure for hydrophobia in men and animals. Some years ago the si'k growers of France were almost ruined on account of fearful disease amoug the silk worms. They appealed to the government and the government sent . Pasteur to look into the matter. He found that the worms laid their eggs all e rignt; out me eggs auerwara uecame diseased and perished. He applied a t preventive and thus saved to the silk growers hundreds of millions of dollars. r Up to a few years ago, brewing was r largely a matter of chance. Sometimes c the beer would fermeut all right and i sometimes it would not. Pasteur dis- t covered the reasons, and now the inakiug of beer is a scientilic certainty. He discovered the cause and cure of 1 anthrax in cat tle and also of cholera in v chickens. Another great discovery r that belongs most distinctively to him t is the anticeptic treatment of wounds. Altogether he was probably the great- ,j est scientist that ever lived. He has had it in his power to be worth millions s of dollars ; but he never wanted money v except as a means of furthering his s cientific researches. He died in a t oom over a stable in which were a t lumber of horses undergoing some ^ jxperiment iu connection with his eceut discovery for the cure of dipthe- f ia. His funeral was a public function * inder the auspices of the French gov irnment. ?l?c \|orhviUc ?nqitim. ; YOItKVILLE, S. C.: FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1895. ' ? Dispatches to the Richmond Dis- J patch from all parts of the tobacco ' jrowiug sections of Virgiuia and North Carolina, says that the heavy frosts of last Monday and Tuesday have dam - * -i ./? A.ll.. ' aged me crop 10 me extern- 01 iuny ane-third. The crop in South Carolina has about all been harvested and cured, and the principal effect of the * frost will be to bring about a better 5 price for such tobacco down this way ' as has not already been sold. ? If the present price of cotton holds ' up, and the crop is only 7,000,000 ' bales, as most of the more experienced statisticians predict, the South will j receive this year over $50,000,000 more | than was received for the tremendous i crop of last year. This crop was ( raised cheaper than any other in the history of the country, and there 1 never was a time when the men who ! raised it also came nearer raising , everything they needed in the way of , ? L.t! . provisions. veriiy, we ueueve ?.uc South is in a better condition today I than at any time since the war. t t i ? The News and Courier is publish- ! ing the portraits of the members of the constitutional convention. Some of } the portraits are good and others are simply horrid. In last Sunday's edi- l Lion of the paper appeared, among the rest, what purported to be portraits of Messrs. J. S. Brice and A. H. White. ^ We were only able to make them out j from the inscriptions underneath, and we are satisfied that were it not for ; the fact that Mr. Brice and Major White are both such good natured 1 fellows, they would surely bring suit 1 against The News and Courier for tlam ages. I ' * * i ? Mrs. Culberson, wife of the govern- ( t)r of Texas, has been criticizing her | liusband for calling a special session of ' the legislature for the purpose of en- 1 icting a law for the prevention of ' prize fighting. She says that almost ^ everybody iu Texas is anxious to ( ?ee the Corbett-Fitzsimmous match, ] ind those who don't expect to see it, j ire interested to know which will ^ !i?hirk Mrs Pnlhersou is nrettv nearly ^ ? * - t ight in her estimate of human nature, iot only iu Texas, but elsewhere. She , s wrong, however, in her criticism of ' ler husband. There is no doubt of the t 'act that prize fighting is brutalizing in ts tendencies, and therefore contrary s :o the spirit of the laws of any civilized ( jommonwealth. It would be pardon- t ible in the governor if, as an individual, # ie should be desirous of seeing the ( ight himself; but as a conscientious of- 1 icial, representing law aud order, he * should put a stop to it if he can. 2 NO DIVORCE. Though, of course, we cannot lay ( daim to having influenced the con- 1 yeution in the matter, The Enquirer ' >vas the first paper in the State to 1 suggest that divorce laws be prohibited j jy the constitution, and we are much i gratified that the suggestion has been p jarried out. f There is no doubt of the fact that I 9 nere are many cases in wimui unuiuc vould be just and proper, and the ^ act that we have no divorce law will t nean misery for not a few husbauds u md wives who may have been uuliap v )ily mated. Were it possible to limit divorces to s :ases where they are just and proper, ? here could be no objection to judicious j( 8ws on the subject. There is no law, lowever, that is more susceptible of r ibuse, and, under the circumstances, ^ ve think it better that society confine j tself to a strict observance of that in- ^ unction in the holy marriage ceremo- v ly which says, "What God hath join- t id together, let no man put asunder." Nothing is more hurtful to society j* han an ill-considered marriage, and ^ lobody suffers more from such a mar iage thau the parties to it. The more e f such marriages, the more society is s< mrt. It might be argued that for c his reason there should be some pro- u :ision for their annullment. Were it j lot so clear that such a provision ^ rould have a tendency to increase, c ather than diminish, such marriages, c be argument would be a good one. Xo; let us have no divorce law. ? Then our ill-considered marriages will tand as a permanent warning to those p rho have not yet entered the married p tate, and ill-considered marriages will J E >e kept at a minimum, not through ] he operation of a most dangerous law ; >ut through enforced prudence on the jart of those who might otherwise be 1 lisposed to act too hastily in such an mportant matter. ( Again, we say that in prohibiting livorce, the convention has done a ( vise thing. No other provision that t can incorporate in the constitution vill be capable of contributing more to he prosperity, virtue, and glory of the state. I ? The people of Atlanta are espe- , dally exercised over some damaging itories that have just been told by a ^ ;orrespondent of the New York Hertld. Among other things, the correinnndpnt stnipd that the Atlantians ivere literally robbiug the visitors to the exposition. One of the big hotels he laid, was charging $20 a day for three 1 lersons. The barbers were charging "5 cents a shave, and the railway faeilities for handling the crowds was lot only inadequate; but positively langerous to life and limb. The At- ^ auta board of trade has passed resolu- r lions denouncing all of the corre- a ipondent's statements as untrue, and j ,here is every reason to believe that J luch is actually the case. Why the 1 jorrespondent should make such jnwarranted statements, we are at r oss to say. His conduct can only 1 do accounted for in one of two * ways. It may be that he is a big I headed young fellow who thinks that ? is a correspondent of The Herald he i is entitled to distinguished considera- ^ Lion, and having failed to get it, wants t to even up with a little spiteful lying; jr it may be that his paper fearing that " Atlanta's splendid pluck and energy 1 might be rewarded with quite a con- t siderable amount of Yankee dollars, r has instructed the correspondent to ( flyblow the exposition enough to keep , i large number of Northern people iway. We hope that neither supposi- ' Lion is true ; but, at any rate, we are satisfied that the correspondent has i exaggerated the facts beyond all rea- t >on. j BETHKL PRESBYTERY. t cull Uiiiiiuc ui mo a iuvcc\oii(jo vi v?v Meeting at Tirzah.

Though the fact is not generally mown the produce commission busiless has, of late years, developed into i popular avenue for swindling counry merchants and others, and we have ust been requested to expose a case in mint. Not long ago Mr. W. L. Hill, of Shaon, was induced, by big promises, to nake a shipmeut of eggs to the "Market Produce Company," E. E. Myers, jresident, of Charleston. Failing to pet an unswer, after having wailed a easonable length of time, Mr. Hill bepan to investigate the matter, and as he result discovered that there was no iuch man as E. E.

Tate, ofYorkville, returned rom a visit to the Atlauta exposition >n Monday. He says that all the xhibits are not yet in place, and won't e until at least the loth of October; nit still it is a big show, and in many espects more satisfactory than the xpositiou at Chicago. At Paris, the most universal attracion was the Eifel tower ; at Chicago it ms the Ferris Wheel, and at Atlauta, Ir. Tate says, it is "shooting the hute." The chute is an inclined lane, one end extending high into the ir, and the other down into a lake, 'assengers take their seats in a boat at he top of the plane. When the boat > turned loose, it darts downward like reased lightning until it strikes the ;ater, when it bounces high in the air nd then gently floats off. The chute as been shot and the passengers feel s if they have been fired out of a gun. "Shoot the chute" has become a rent byword in all parts of the expoition grounds, says Mr. Tate. This is specially the case on the "Midway." lUiong the attractions there is a ride n an elephant's back for 10 cents, ifter getting on board as many peo le as the big beast can provide room jr, tlje Asiatic keeper gives the comlaiid in the slang of the hour "shoot he chute." "Although I was at Chicago," said Ir. Tate, "I believe I was just as well leased with Atlanta. I can't describe ither one of the expositions, and 110ody else can so another man can get any satisfaction ; but this is not so b'e ; thut a man who has had some experi- I enoe in doing expositions, eau't come ( pretty near taking it all in in the course of a week or 10 days. STAR ROUTE CONTRACTS. The postoffice department is adver- ( tising for proposals for carrying the , mails over the star routes iu this State. All proposals must be in by December 3. 1895, and the contracts, which will commence on the 1st day of next July, will last until June 30, 1900. The various routes to he let out in York county are as follows : TTrnm Sliiimn tn Vulitnrrt ii? milpS. three times a week. The present price for the service is 834.S4 a year. From Yorkville to Yorkville, via Zadok, Bethany, Hero, Stroup's, Clark's Fork and Carp, 44$ miles, three times a week. Preseut contract calls for 8180 a year.

The Twice-a-Week Enquirer will be furnished from this date until January 1, 1S96, for 50 cents. No Truth in It. We have seen no confirmation of the report that Policeman Morgan of Chester had been killed. Declined the Call. Rev. W. A. M. Plaxco announced to the A. R. P. presbytery at Clover last Monday that lie had decided to decline the call that was extended to him by the Sharon congregation some time ago Giving Them Away. Mr. George T. Schorb is giving to each of his friends a Lester piano. The gift, however, is not exactly the geuuiue article. It is just a unique paper miniature of the original. Died Last Friday. Little Florence, the two year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. B. RIack of Bullock's Creek township who was accidentally scalded recently, died on last Friday, after two weeks of suffering. In their terrible bereavement, Mr. and Mrs. Black have the deepest sympathy of the community in which they live. Lindsay; Not Wylle. Iu our report of the proceedings of the A. R. P. presbytery Wednesday it was stated that Mr. Joseph Wylie was appointed a member of tbe committee to take charge of the proposition of the deacon's convention to pay the annual expenses of a student at tbe seminary. The statement was not correct. It should have read Mr. Joseph Lindsay. Accident to a Horse. Mr. C. H. Smith had a valuable horse injured by a mowing machine last Friday afternoon. He had two mules hitched to the machine and was leading the horse. Some colored children ran out in the road and frightened the mules. They started to run. The horse also became frightened and unmanageable. It got in the way of the machine. One of the tendons in one of its hind legs was severed and it was otherwise injured. On tlie Ground Floor. Mr. H. C. Strauss is in an especially good humor over the result of his recent trip to the Northern markets. He says: 4,I had for a long time been of opiuiou that I knew how to get with a dollar in New York every cent it was good for. I know that I have always heeu buying as cheap .as most people in this section of the country and a little cheaper than many ofthem ; but this season I have simply run up 1 on better bargains than I have ever before seen." Mr. Strauss is preparing 1 to make things hum. From the Effects of Fever. Mr. Seth Thomas Jackson, youngest j son of the late Archibald M. Jackson, , died last Saturday afternoon from the J effects of typhoid fever. After an illness of several weeks, he was able to be up and decided to visit his brother, , Mr. John C. Jackson, who lives about six miles northwest of Yorkville. H . was suddenly taken down again and died within a few hours. For many 1 years past he has been engaged in the clock and lightning rod business. At the time of his death, he was about 3o , years of age. He leaves a widow and j several children. The funeral took s place CD Saturday, and was conducted by Rev. S. A. Weber. Coining October 23 Intendaiit Moore has made arrangef ments with Colonel James T. Bacon, oEdgefield, for the delivery of his lecture, 44An Old Man's Kranky Kaleid- ? oscope," in Yorkville, on the evening of Friday. October 25. The lecture is well worth listening to. The door receipts will be divided with the town clock fund. Worth Looking Info. We have noticed tbat an unusually large number of people are wrapping , their cotton in a very dilapidated looking second-hand bagging. If there is more money in it this way, perhaps it is all right; but it strikes us that new bagging might weigh something more on an average, and if so, with cotton at 8J cents a pound, it will probably he the cheapest. The matter is worth ^ looking into. The Matter with Yorkvllle. "I was up at Blacksburg a day or two ago" remarked Major Hart yesterday. anil one of the railroad officials asked me 'What is the matter with Yorkville?' I did not understand what he meant, and when I asked for an explanation, he said that oue day last week the freight train delivered a whole train load of goods. 1 investigated the matter when I got buck and I found that it was Strauss and Gauson getting iu their fall stocks." That is what is the matter with Yorkville. 13lK Ouex and Little One* Master Howard Kiddle, of Zeno, has sent The Enquirer a half dozen quarter sized eggs that were the production of an eccentric old ben that has heretofore been in good and regular standing among the fowls of the barnyard. It is charged against the hen that she laid a small sized egg oue duy and a large one the next.* How long the performance might have continued isa pure matter of speculation. Last Tuesday she departed from the regulation shape by laying an egg that looked like a diminutive squash, and the dogs shortly afterwards broke her up Ilii for the Industrial College. Prof. A. K. Banks has been offered a rate of 50 cents to Rock Hill aud return, for people who would like to visit the Industrial College tomorrow. Those who care to make the trip, should let him know as early as possible today, in order that he may telegraph for the necessary cars. The rate will not hold good unless he can get 50 people. The regular Ohio River and Charleston passenger schedule, which will give plenty of time to examine the buildings, will obtain. AROITT PEOPIiE. Judge 1.1).
