Sykes, J. R. Boulware, Dr. J. P. Crawford,
R. B. Cunningham, Prof. J. P. Kinard,
R. L. Oates, L. C. Harrison and Dr,
W. R. Simpson. The party was arrayed
in domino costume and much merriment
was had while trying to penetrate the
disguises. Every detail of the evening
was provided for beforehand, there was
no lagging and weariness. All went
pleasantly until time for leave taking,
Miss Nance has the hearty thanks of hei
party for a pleasant evening passed with
many new ideas.
Yesterday about 3 o'clock a small fire
occurred at the Globe Cotton mill. In
some way, some of the waste was set on
fire and the waste room destroyed. The
fire spread to a freight car on the side
track of the Southern; this was badly
damaged, the fioor being kept iu good
enough condition to carry the trucks to
the shops. The loss is very small. It is
thought the fire originated from careless
4 handling of matches by children.
Our colored citizens seem to be developing
some enthusiasm in the next election.
Last Saturday night, at the call oi
Mr. L. D. Melton, a considerable number
met him at one of the colored school
bouses. He made a cautious speocn ana
awakened much enthusiasm. His advice
was that the Negroes should organize at
once. He was followed by Rev. E. D.
, White, who surprised his hearers by the
merit in his remarks. Others were called
on, but it was evident that Melton had
won this crowd.
The other element had arranged to hear
the statesman of canary hue from Beaufort
tonight. They were ready with their
lamps trimmed and burning, and the
brass band making melody; but their
speaker failed to arrive, no word came by
mail, and at this hour they are waiting
patiently in the hope that be will come on
the 10 o'clock train, and set all right, as
they see it, with his eloquence. o. s.
LETTER FROM UNION WUNTX.
Savages of the Measles?First Trip to Lockhart
Shoal*?Bridge Over Paoolet?Confederate
Veterans.
Correspondence of the Yorkvllle Enquirer.
Etta Jane, February 22.?It has been
some time since this side of the river has
been beard from through The Enquirer.
A general and universal spread of measles
has put both farming and schooling, as
well as other enterprises, far in the background,
and these losses and hindrances
will be felt for many months to come, to
say nothing of the personal suffering and
even life it has cost in many cases. It has
always been the case (and no doubt always
will be,) that a certain class of people
will make it convenient to peddle out
these diseases among their neighbors.
This work has been thoroughly done this
liiriA.
The letter of Miss Ella C. Davidson,
which appeared in The Enquirer last
week, has done a vast amount of good for
the cause it was intended to fhrther. The
-cause of the church has been greatly advanced
by the secular press, and it is no
longer a question of doubt that the life
or death of a paper depends upon the side
it takes for or against Christianity.
Last week, our little boat made its first
trip to Lock hart Shoals with a load of cotton.
The amount charged for transportation
from Howel's ferry to Lockhart Shoals
is 33& cents per bale. This will give it all,
(or most all of the cotton) in this section,
provided the market there comes up to
that elsewhere. To our enterprising and
go ahead neighbor, Mr. W.S. Wilkerson,
too much credit cannot be given for his
zeal and energy in converting the rough
shoals of Broad river into a convenient
highway. Its practicability has been tested,
and other improvements will doubtless
follow soon.
, The cotton mill at Lockhart is now in
fine workincr order, and the market there.
so far, has been good. Improvements are
still going on, and lumber is constantly
being shipped from here for building
purposes.
General I. G. McKissick.of Union, who
was elected commander of the Second
brigade, S. C. divison United Confederate
Veterans, at the meeting in Columbia last
November, has appointed the following
statf officers to wit: J. F. J. Caldwell,
adjutant general and chief of staff, with
rank of lieutenant colonel (C. S. A.)
James N. King, quartermaster with rank
of major, (C. S. A.) J. H. Bowen, inspector
general, with rank of major (C. S. A.); J.
C. Shuttleworth, commissary general,
with rank of major (C. S. A.); Rev. J.
Lowrie Wilson, D. D., chaplain general,
(with no military rank.) Aides?E. F.
Smith and George Chandler, each with
the rank of captain (C. S. A.) Our county
expects to send a full delegation to
Richmoud, Va., June 30 and July 1st and
2nd.
The weather for the past week has been
quite wintry and those who had the
measles lately, have been kept confined to
the bouse.
The iron bridge across Pacolet river, at
Skull Shoals, is finished. It cost the
county ?4,900 Sigma.
DEATH OF MR. D. <i. CRAWFORD.
A Wei I-Known and Popular Citizen of McConnellsville
Passes Away.
Correspondence of The Yorkvllle Enquirer.
McCoxnellsville, February 25.?Our
community has been saddened by the
death of Mr. Daniel G. Crawford who
died February 21st, at 3.30 o'clock, aged
37 years and 3 days. He had been a great
sufferer for a longtime and had just undergone
a severe operation. He bore it
all with patience and had a smile for
every one. On the day of his death, when
told that he was dyrng, he was not in the
least excited ; but asked if he was in
heaven. " He quietly breathed his life
away and was at rest. His remains
were followed by a large concourse of
friends to where they were interred in
the new cemetery in this place. Funeral
services were conducted by Rev. J. B.
Swann. The deceased leaves three little
children?one little girl and two little
boys?the oldest not 8 years old. It will
be remembered that the wife of the deceased
was killed by .lightning in June,
1893.
School opened last Monday with the
same teachers.
Mr. Clinton, of Gutheriesville has
moved into the house vacated by Mr.
Garrison, who has moved to Rock Hill.
We welcome him in our midst. There
were no services at Olivet the 3rd Sunday,
as Mr. Swann had received a telegram
stating that his sister in Pineville was
dying. He left immediately but she was
dead when he reached there.
LEGISLATIVE MATTERS.
Much Cry and Little Work?Tax Levy Same
as Last Year?The Insarauce Bill?Went
to Charleston.
Correspondence of the Yorkvllle Enquirer.
Columbia, February 24.?The legislature
is still here and has a lot of work
to do. It would not take so much time if
the members could only get at it; but so
many of them think it is such good politics
to get on record by having something
to say, that it seems impossible to hold
them down. Maybe it is all right; but it
is quite expensive. This machine is costing
$1,000 a day, and it seems to ine that it
might be better if surplus gas were allowed
to escape through the pores rather
than through the vox humana. Had it
not been for the gas impediment, I am
satisfied that we could have gotten through
by the 1st of March.
There is still much work to be done, and
the legislature is in session day and night.
The senate used to be the talking
, house. Such is not the case now. The
f talking is left to the house, the "refonna
tory school "for youthful statesmen."
while the senators put in a good deal oi
their time waiting for something to do.
i They even have leisure to drop into the
, house quite frequently and listen to the
gyrations, gesticulation and gymnastics
i of some of the "inmates."
The supply bill goes into the house today.
It fixes the State levy the same as
heretofore, 44 mills, and were it not for
the additional one mill school tax,
the total levy would be the same as last
year. It is to the dispensary earnings
that we owe this good result, and I still
Ktnlr t-Haf tKn rltonnnaorv pominorfl ah nil Id
have been applied to the general fund all
along. The school fund is well enough
provided for with direct taxation. Not
only this, they say that dispensary earnings
is "blood money." If it is, that is all
the more reason why it should go to pay
the interest on the State debt. That .is
blood money also, unless I am mistaken.
Most of it was saddled upon us while we
were ander Radical rule. Anyhow, the
dispensary earnings will be received most
acceptable this time to help reduce that
otherwise big levy for State purposes.
Among the wisest bills that have been
passed at this session, is the one which
knocks what is known as the "threequarter
clause" out of insurance policies.
The three-quarter clause is a provision
whereby the insurance companies allow
a man to insure bis house for and pay
premiums on any amount of money he
wants. It works beautifully until there
is a fire, and then there is friction. For
instance, a house may be worth only
$4,000, and the owner has it insured for
and pays premiums on $6,000. The insurance
company makes no objection to
this; but just takes the money without a
murmur. Then comes a fire, and the insurance
company points to the insured a
little clause in his policy which says that
he can recover only three-fourths of the
actual value of the building. By the
change in the law, the insurance company
is made to value the property at the
time it issues the insurance, instead of
wating until there has been a fire. The
companies are not required to insure for
more than three-fourths value if they do
not want to ; but in case of loss, they are
compelled 10 pay me iuh auiuuut uu
which they receive premiums. There is
nothing wrong about the bill that I can
see. It will just make the insurance
companies do business on business principles
without any unfair advantage over
the insured.
Saturday being a legal holiday and
there being no work to do, a majority
of the members of both houses accepted
an invitation to visit Charleston. They
, report a great time. Immediately on
reaching Charleston, they were taken on
board a vessel and carried for a short sail
out on the ocean. There were plenty of
good things to eat on board the vessel.
On returning, the members went to the
Citadel academy, where they were received
with an artillery salute. Afterward
there was a review of the city troops and
Citadel cadets. The whole thing passed
off pleasantly, and the members returned
home without expense, broken shins or
headaches. Your correspondent has been
unwell for several days and was unable to
go. He is now better, however, and able
to attend to his regular duties, r. m. c.
A LITTLE AT A TIME.
Too Much Loose Dirt Makes the Roads
Heavy and Difficult to Travel.
Editor of the Yorkvllle Enquirer.
Since reading your article in The Enquirer
of today on the piece of King's
Mountain road recently worked up by the
convicts, I thought I would give my
views about the management of the convicts
in York county.
In my experience in working up public
roads, I find that it will not do to pile up
too much dirt at one time. But if we
would fill in the middle of the road to the
depth of about 6 inches, and allow that to
hpfome well nacked before putting on 6
inches more, etc., we would soon secure
what is desired.
By this means, we can soon get our
roads built up with comparatively little
expense and without the inconvenience
of having to drive through mud to the
depth of something like a foot.

Fodder, S. C., February 19,1896.
MK KE-51ENTI0N.
President Cleveland has refused to pardon
Louis Redwine, the Atlanta bank
embezzler, who was sent to Columbus for
six years. Both houses of the legislature
of Mississippi have passed resolutions
endorsing the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1, re
gardless of the action of other countries.
Fighting in Abyssinia continues, and
from all accounts the Italians are getting
the worst of it. Ex-Congressman
Harter, of Ohio, committed suicide a day
or two ago by shooting himself in the
head with a revolver. Congressman
Talbert has been designated as the South
Carolina member o, the Xattonal Democratic
Congressional campaign committee.
The Broxton Bridge Murder.
The trial of Dr. Ackermen, Hires,
Jenny and Folk for the murder of
Hannah Walker and Isham Kearse,
both colored, at Broxtou's bridge, in
Colleton county, some months ago,
was commenced at Walterboro last
Thursday, and it was expected that a
verdict would be rendered on yesterday.
The story of the murder was
printed at the time. The facts developed
at the trial corroborated it in
every particular. Public sympathy in
Colleton and surrounding counties,
however, is overwhelmingly with the
accused, and it is not thought that the
facts will have anything to do with
the verdict. It is a foregone conclusion
that the slayers of the Negroes
, will be acquitted.

Catarrh Cannot be Cured
with local applications, as they cannot
reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh is
a blood or constitutional disease, and in
order to cure it you must take internal
remedies. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken
intomnllv. and acta direetlv on the blood
and mucous surfaces, ball's Catarrh
Cure is not a quack medicine. It was
prescribed by one of the best physicians
in this country for y ars, and is a regular '
prescription. It is composed of the best
tonics known, combined with the best
blood purifiers, acting directly on the
mucous surfaces. The perfect combination
of the two ingredients is what produces '
such wonderful results in .curing Catarrh.

The Planter's Register.
A book which has a perfect system of
farm book-keeping, and is a business
register of everything done on the farm,
enabling the farmer at anytime to ascertain
the exact condition of finances. . The
registry of the day's or week's doings on
the farm will interest the boys growing
up and teach them business methods;
early imbue them with the lessons of life;
that this is a world of cold facts and that
he who chronicles, studies, compares and
digests the teachings of these facts on the
farm^vill be the successful farmer. Complicated
book-keeping would be out of
the question for many reasons but the
simple method of the Planters' Register
enable rapid summing up at a glance and
keeps the whole history of their work,
expenses, experiments and different departments
in the mind where the strong
common sense of our farmers would soon
unconsciously to themselves reason out
the best course from the lights of facts.
One of the worries of book-keeping 1? to
form language to describe each separate
entry. In the Planters Register the place
to make the entry in every emergency is
provided on so simple a plan that a child
can use it.

AROLINA BUGGY CO.
HE HOC
CONTEST
I7HICH has recently come to a close,
has developed into a lesson on do>stic
economy'. Yet there are plenty
farmers, and individuals of other voca
ns wbo are skeptical as to tbe merits
well bred pigs. To them a hog is a '
g, and that is all there is about It; and
10 will doubt it literally ? They argue
it with plenty of corn one hog, regards
of stock, will make fully as much,
tin and as good pork as the other. In a
ijority of cases a careful trial would go
sug way toward proving the contrary.
Ve are not dealing in hogs, however;
t buggies and we contend that a substie
for the Carolina Buggy can't be proced
on tbe surface of the earth at a less
ce, and give the same amount of satiation,
ana cost as little for repairs dug
its existence as the CAROLINA,
tou can buy buggies that weigh as
ich, and look nearly like ours; you
i get buggies at all prices, but the old
lROLINA is sold at one price and
ke to everybody. .It has a value and
quality fixes its price,
rhe CAROLINA buggy is not given
ay with a box of laundry soap, a pack5
of chewing gum or a 100 cigars, but
sold to intelligent people who know
lat they want and where to buy it.
Che Carolina Buggy has no superior
1 few equals. Call at their repository
Yorkville and insDect the vehicles.
Vithout any effort, the Carolina Buggy
npany takes all premiums offered to
biic exhibitors.
