making a contract for the bridge if it saw fit. Major White remarked that the members of the board were in a different position from outsiders. Outsiders oould say what they pleased; but if the board should make a mistake, its members are responsible. Mr. Wilkerson said that after listening to the eminent divine during the morning, and to the able lawyers, be felt like Gulliver in the hands of the Brobdingnaggians; but, at the same time, he felt it his duty to speak out the views of his own people. He lived in the western side, and they had a river out there also, that got up sometimes. From the way the other gentlemen had talked, it appeared that Catawba river was up most of the time; but Broad river was not so bad. However, his people had considered the idea of building a bridge also; but they bad not thought of asking ibe county to do it. The proposition was that the p'eople on either side give a certain * amount, and with the help of the railroad, the county would be called on for very little. The matter is not being agi tated just now, it is true; but with bis own people needing a bridge, he did not see how he could be justified in voting for the building cf a bridge away on the other side of the county. Mr. Brice suggested that the situation - was different. On the western side, the river was between two counties, and on the eastern side it ran through the county. The proposition was to give one portion of York county communication w ith the remainder. Mr. Wilkerson could not see that there was any difference. There was as much intercourse between his people and the people of Union, as there was between Fort Mill and the balance of York county. Continuing, Mr. Wilkersou said that there had been a great deal of talk during - the morning about taxes. "Now I want to know w hether we pay any taxes out our way at all. I don't believe we do. I have to go down into my pockets for $125 or $130 a year for something. What it is for I don't know. I always thought it was taxes; but perhaps I am mistaken. No, every time anything comes up, it is always from the east. Even Mr. Lowry, when he made a proposition this morning in regard to fixing the roads, pointed?east. Tf there is anv considerable amount of county funds comes out our way, I do not know where it goes to. But our people have not had time to think about ? this bridge matter. I have only beard a few of them discuss it. Perhaps, after they have had an opportunity to d>scuss it, they will think differently, and 1 think it is better to defer it until another time. But I'll tell you, I do not think it right for me to vote for this bridge while my own people are denying themselves of , this very thing. Mr. Gwin did not thick that his people were willing to pay the tax. If they were willing, however, he thought it was all right; but he considered tbat, under the circumstances, the best thing to do was to postpone final action. Mr. Brice thought that the bridge was a necessity; that the Fort Mill people were entitled to it, and he was surprised only not tbat they are asking for it now; but that they did not ask for it a long time ago. He could see no reason whatever why the matter should be deferred. The members of the board of county commissioners had been chosen as the representatives of the people; the duty devolved upon them, and he saw no reason why they could not act as well now as later. As for himself he was ready to vote. When called upon to express himself, 4 Mr. Miller, at first, declined; but afterward reconsidered, and said that like Ma jor White, he was so interested in the improvement of the roads, that he did not like to vote for the erection of this bridge for fear it might interfere with the road work. He thought that the benefit to the people 01 .tort jyliu townsmp wouia db much greater if the board, instead of building this bridge, would expend $9,000 in macadamizing the road from Yorkville to Fort Mil). Mr. Brice suggested that so far as the three mill road tax was concerned, nobody need give themselves any worry, for the tax would never be levied. As to Mr. Miller's proposition, he could not see what would be the good of a macadamized road on either side of the river, with no way to get across. Mr. Wilkerson went back to the original question with a statement to this effect: "I believe in helping people who are willing to help themselves. If these people need that bridge as badly as they say, then they ought to be willing to do something, and I will say this: If they will just come down with a subscription of half the amount necessary to build this bridge, I'll be willing for the county to meet them with the other half." Mr. Miller seconded the motion. Mr. Brice thought that would be pretty tough on the Fort Mill people. The efiect of th^proposition would be for them to not only go down into their pockets UrtlT Vmt kfttr waiiI/1 katra fanow tkaiw pro rata share of the remainder. Mr. Miller suggested that it would be better to defer the matter and leave it to the disposal of a committee. Then he proposed to amend Mr. Wilkerson's motion, by providing that the board take hold of the matter whenever the people of Fort Mill should make a liberal proposition. Mr. Wilkerson accepted the amendment and Mr. Brice moved to lay the motion on the table, which was done. The debate then turned on Mr. Brice's original motion to grant the Fort Mill petition. Mr. Wilkerson spoke for postponement. All he wanted, he said, was to discuss the matter with his people. Although becoming favorable to the proposition to build the bridge, be did not like to act until he had discussed the matter with those he was representing. He would not talk against the matter. On the contrary, he would talk for it, and he really felt that when he came back to the next regular meeting, he would bo able to vote for it. Mr. Porter declined to take part in the discussion, giving as a reason the fact that his township was soon to leave the county, and he did not think it would be right for him to vote. Mr. Moore was also reluctant to vote, for the reason that this was his last meeting. lie would prefer, however, to see action deferred. Upon the motion to defer action until the next meeting, all voted in the affirmative except Messrs. Brice and Kiddle. LOCAL LACONICS. Returned From New Orleans. W. B. McCaw, Esq., has returned from an extended visit to New Orleans. It'H Heavy Work. Farmers are hauling considerable quantities of guano away from Yorkville just now ; but unless they have from four to six mules hitched to their wagons, they do not haul very many bags at a load. Mr. Wldeman Thursday Night. Mr. W. P. Wideman delivered his "Hit the Grit" lecture in the courthouse last Thursday night. The lecture was greatly enjoyed by those who heard it. He explained that his failure to get here in accordance with his first appointment, was on account of the missing of a railroad connection. I inquirer ucwi liioro JLIUJU. Gastonia Gazette, Thursday: "The Charlotte and Rock Hill papers are printins: sensational items about the capture of Reese at Lexington, Tenn. Reese is not caught. The Yorkville Enquirer of yesterday printed a telegram from the officers at Lexington saying, "The man under arrest is not the man you want." ? Only a Surmise, of Coarse. The Columbia correspondent of The News and Courier suggests that perhaps after all, it might have been Reese who was captured in Tennessee. Reese, it 1 will be remembered, is supposed to have ] considerable money, and if this is true, < the correspondent might have succeeded i in making it more interesting for his captor than would have the reward. This, however, is only a surmise that is not , based on actual knowledge. I It Will Promote Road Work. ( A subscription paper is being circulated . in Yorkville with a view to raising a large , bonus in cash, to be expended on one of ( the main public highways leading into Yorkville, between the five mile post and incorporate limits of the town, on such road. The subscriptions are being made ( on condition that the entire amount sub- 1 scribed be expended on the road the 1 citizens on which subscribe the largest < co-onerative amount. Quite a number of ' liberal subscriptions have been put down, and there is reason to believe that the people generally will unite in the work. Killed a Mad Doff. There was a mad dog excitement out in the western portion of York township last Monday. The dog was first seen on the premises of Mr. Joseph A. Smith. There it frightened several children and bit two or three pigs. From Mr. Smith's the animal went in the direction of Mr. John Caldwell's, and was followed by Mr. Sam Smith, who fired at it several times on the way; but without effect. Arrived at Mr. Caldwell's, the rabid dog bit several other dogs, and finally went under the house, where it was killed. The dogs that had been bitten, with the exception of a pointer that was not owned by Mr. Caldwell, were killed also. Not a Corporate Purpose. In order to prevent misunderstanding, or possible complication, it is proper to state that the proposition made to the county board of commissioners last Tuesday for the appropriation of $1,000 by the town of Yorkville fortbemacadamization of the road from Tirzah to this place, is not to be considered seriously. However willi ng the corporation of Yorkville might be to make such an appropriation, and however praiseworthy such an enterprise might be, there can be nothing of it, for the reason that the corporation can only spend money for corporate purposes. The only way by which the people of Yorkville can help on this road is by prit? oto enKonrinHnna Ar crfinhrfll nnnnfv for ation. j Pay of the Commissioner*. ' It has been called to the attention of The Enquirer, that there is a widespread misunderstanding as to the pay received by the members of the county board of commissioners, and though no such ch arge has been made openly, it ha9 been gossipped about by badly informed persons that the members hold meetings with unnecessary frequency, on account of the pay they receive. While it is true that it is doubtful as to whether such gossip should be dignified by publication, at the same time it is just as well probably to give the facts in the case. The pay of the members of the county board of commissioners i9only $1.00 and mileage one way, at the rate of 5 cents, for each day's service. In addition to this, the respective members each get $5 per annum for service on thqjr respective township boards. So, with most of the members, the rate of pay is hardly a consideration. They would make more money attending to their private businesses, and so far as the pay is coucerned, it is only fair to give all the members due credit for a considerable interest in the affairs of the public. HOW THE COMMITTEE GOT HOME. And This Traveling From One Part of York County to Another. Editor Yorkville Enquirer. Having had the experience of our bridge committse in getting to xortcville, we thought you might relish the j other side of the picture and like to hear their experience in getting home. The committee left Yorkville Tuesday evening and lodged with a friend?a former Fort Millian?Tuesday night. They resumed their journey next morning, and when near the river?at Dinkin's ferry?met a gentleman who informed 3 them that they could not cross the river, ? and while debating their new dilemma, a wild mule belonging to the gentleman ( w horn they had met, collided with their \ surrey and demolished one of the wheels, j A part of the committee returned on foot , to the "Magic City" of Rock Hill, while the rest, thoroughly disgusted with their experience, walked to the river, crossed the railroad bridge, and then walked j home. Those who returned to Rock Hill, ( deposited their horses ir the livery stable, the surrey in the shop and boarded the 1 first train home, more satisfied than ever t of the necessity ol' a bi.'dge. j. w. a. \ Fort Mill, March 1', 1897. MERE-MENTION. Loans of $4,000,(XK) have been obtained from Kew York banks during the past ! week to pay tarilf duties on goods held in 1 bond. Joseph Blackburn continues ( to be a candidate for election to the Unit- I ed States seuate from Kentucky. ' Washington is literally crowded with 1 office-seekers. A Chicago merchant ( was accidentally killed last Thursday i night by policemen who were shooting at I a burglar. The engines of the United i States monitor Puritan broke down olf Cape Hatteras last Thursday, and the j vessel had to be towed to Norfolk by the cruiser Columbia. < SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS. 1 The Cherokee] Election. p Columbia Register, Wednesday: p Governor Ellerbe yesterday ordered ji an election on the 27th instant in f Cherokee county to fill a!! county of- 6 (ices, except senator and represents- o tives in the legislature. Just as soon a as the election is officially declared c and those chosen qualify, the new b county will be a reality. Until the B next general election the present sena- r tor and representatives will speak c for Cherokee in the legislature. o A Snide Detective. C The Columbia Register tells of the 4 pardon, by Governor Ellerbe, of a Ne- ft gro named William Johnson who has b served more than a year of a 15 years' 3eutence for train wrecking. The Negro was convicted on evidence furnish- B ed by "Detective" Holland for a $400 o reward. At that time the "detective" 1 was not very well kuown, and it was a thought to be all right. It has since it developed, to the satisfaction of the "o solicitor, that the alleged evidence was B manufactured by Holland and tbat is it why the solicitor requested the gover- tl nor to grant Johnson a pardon, o Holland is the man who furnished the p evidence with which to convict Mur- It phyof the murder of Treasurer Copes, w of Orangeburg. 0 Crazy For Whisky. d A man named Tom Williams, from ri Athens, Ga., broke into the dispensary b at Greenville last Sunday morning between 10 and 11 o'clock, drank a ^uart of whisky and then went and n gave himself up to the police with a T frank confession of his crime. He it said that he was literally crazy for a t< Irink of whisky, and saw no other E way to get it than to break into the p lispensary. After he had gotten in u and filled himself up, he began to re- o alize the enormity of his offense and a confessed in tears. He was commit- fc :ed to jail on the charge of house- f( areaking in the daytime. Williams is about 50 years old and is said to be a nan of good family, but has been Irinking bard for some years past. Dispensary Profits. g Golumbia State: Beginning with T he first of next month, the state board ? )f control hopes to pay into the state ;reasury from $10,000 to $15,000 monthlv. This is to 20 to the eeneral n rund for government expenses. It was ei iot so long ago that the dispensary 4 said in installments of $25,000 the ?100,000, leaving still to pay $92,000 :o the general fund before any of the Si iispensary profits would go to the ir school fund. This, then, is but a be ginning of the payment of the amount 3* itill due. At the rate of $15,000 a nonth little over six months will be , equired to cancel the obligation to 0 ihe state treasury. The profits then, ? t may be said, will begin to go to the j school fund in" October. In other tvords, in the fourth year and the second month since the establishment jB >f the dispensary the state will have O eceived $192,000 or $48,000 per an- i? mm. w Sfo More Greek Letter Societies. tt Columbia dispatch, 6th instant: Si imong the specimens of freak legisla- ^ :ion passed by the South Carolina = general assembly, was one known as ;he "anti-Greek Letter Society Jaw." ? [t is the outgrowth of bitter social "eeling at the state university here, rbe law forbids the existence of such di societies in colleges which receive state tid. This kills a powerful fraternity ? n the South Carolina college, which ias a handsome hall on the campus. [t was urged that these societies enjourage class and caste feeling ; that a student who was Dot a member was lot considered in good social standing, fo ind that the first thing Columbia Cl foung women did upon having a colege man presented, was to inquire in vhich fraternity he had membership, ind then they governed their smiles Cl accordingly. The fight was led by old hi students, who seem to have suffered, it rhe fraternity men made a hard strug- 01 ;le, but the farmers were too many for ,hem. T W Che Case of Murphy. Governor Ellerbe is very much worked over the case of Daniel Murphy, he man who is under sentence of leath for the murder of Treasurer Hopes, of Orangeburg. Murphy's riends have been very active in the ;ase of late. As is generally known, he evidence in the case was worked ? lp by Detective Holland, of Columbia, or a reward. One of the principal _ vitnesses was a woman of bad charac- _ er named Barr. The Barr woman t vas found down in Georgia recently ind she admitted that her testimony cl vas false throughout; that she had ^ >een induced by Detective Hollaud b( ,o lie, and that he had paid her. D She said she did not know anything to ? jonnect Murphy with the murder. The voman was brought before the gov- ? ;rnor a day or two ago and told the story over again. In addition to this, c, Murphy's attorneys have presented the w V !iL _*!11 _a.l J di joveruor wuu bini uiucr eviucuue. ~ The governor is in so much doubt, ispecially in view of other recent de- g /elopments in regard to Holland, that f he should pardon Murphy, there j? vill be no occasion for surprise. fr . ? di R The Nation's Bread Supply.? Washington dispatch of Wednes- _ lay says that the crop report of the ? lepartmentof agriculture based on re- -* ;urns from three independent sets of ' egular correspondents added to sever- ^ il thousand from mills and elevators, ill carefully combined and weighted, g< elates principally to the distribution of sf principal grains, the stocks remaining _ n firms and the proportions of merchantable and unmerchantable. All "I ?rain in the hands of the farmers in- ^ eluding amount remaining over from n previous years, aro included in the je estimates given. The corn on hand, cc is estimated, aggregates 1,164,000,000 ^ bushels or 51 per cent, of the last crop, | igaiust 1,702,000,000 in March, 1896. oi Both the proportion and the quantity P in original hands at this date is unpre- p uedented, although closely approached ast year and in March, 1890. Corres oudents report large stocks in cribs, larticularly in the prairie states, awaitDg better prices. The aggregate sold rora Inrms to go beyond county lines is 123,000,000 bushels, or 26.32 per cent, f the crop. The proportion merchantble is 936,000,000 bushels, or 84.3 per ent. The wheat reserve "in farmer's lands amount to 20.6 per cent, last larch. Of this amount 3 per cent, is eported as coming from previous rops. The proportion of wheat sold ntside the county is 51.7 per cent. )f oats there are 316,000,000 bushels or 4.2 per cent, of the 1896 crops yet in irmers's. bands. Proportion shipped eyond county line, 27 per cent. High Water In the West.?The Iississjppi river was 34 teet high? ne foot above the danger line?at leraphis, Tennessee, last Thursday, nd was rising at a rate that promised : up to 36 feet by today. Nearly all f the plantations above and below Iemphis are entirely submerged and , is feared tbat there is great danger bat the river will cut a new cbanuei ver into Arkansas. In this event the robability is that Memphis will })e jft high and dry away from the river dth her recently constructed $3,000,00 bridge standing across a big dry itch. The whole central west is seiously alarmed over the unusual eight of the water. Did Not Ratify.?A monster mass leeting was held in New York on 'hursday for the purpose of endorsig the proposed arbitration treaty besveen the United States ahd Great iritian. But it appears that the oponents to the proposition were in the lajority, and they raised such a storm f noes as to indicate that the sentilent of New York is against the irraing of "entangling alliances" with ireign countries.

Wilkerson was published in the Enquires in March, 1891, relative to the merits and value of the GENUINE CORBIN DISK HARROW. The statements were correct then and are now: Hickory Grove, March 23,1891. Mr. Sam M. Grist, Yorkville, S. C.: Dear Sir?I bought a No. 7 Corbin Disk Harrow from you in October, 1889. I was ielighted with it the first time I tried It. [ now consider it an indispensable implement op the farm. No farmer who looks ifter his own interest can afford to be without it To give an idea of its value at ;his time, when every farmer is so fer behind with his work, I will say that I can :ake my Harrow, with one hand and four mules, and put 300 or 400 pounds weight )n the Harrow, and break eight acres of cornstalk, cotton stalk or stubbie land in >ne day, and prepare it deeper and better in every way than can be d' ne with eight muxes ana eigut nanus in toe oruiuary way. [I have a weight box on my Har-ow. It is the length of the beam, and is ) inches wide at the bottom, 11 at the top, md about 10 inches deep. It is fastened in to the beam with bolts.] Last spring I plowed up my cotton italks and with the Disk Harrow and ;wo mules, cut the stalks and pulverized nv land to the depth of five inches at the tame operation, and at the rate of an acre in hour. Wheat and oats can be put in with it nuch better than in the ordinary way: )ne band and two mules is all that is necfflsary to put in 8 to 10 acres a day.
