ment; but only that if he did, they did 1 not bear him. Both have since said that 1 , they cannot say positively that no such t statement was made; only that they did 1 not hear it. This being true, then it appears that their action in signing such a s paper was, to say the least, hasty. i 3. Warden McElwee is positive that I i > am a liar, and makes no hesitation in say- c ing that every word in the paper is true, a Warden McElwee is a man who is quick ] to "shoot off his mouth," and having ] shot it off very injudiciously iu the meet- r ing about which the trouble has arisen, e I have no doubt that he would be glad to g sien a DaDer savine that no such meeting t was held. u 4. As to Intendant Lowry, I am sorry that he has been aggrieved. I have no desire to impeach his veracity and do not do so. It seems that a mistake has been ' made, or as others are pleased to express it, a lie is out. He evidently does not believe he is the culpable party and I do not believe that I am. If I thought so it t* would give me great pleasure to acknowledge the fact. I have no reason to think that he would not do the satne. 5. As to such criticisms as I have seen fit to indulge in, and which seems to so greatly offend the town council, I have no apologies. Public officers must expect criticism. If it were not allowed, they would soon be public masters. They * have a right to justify themselves if they can, and under no circumstances will any newspaper, when it makes a criticism of or an attack on an individual, deny that individual tbei right of reply through its own columns, in order that he may reach the same people before whom he thinks lie has been placed in a false light. The gentlemen have not seen fit to send me * their statement. 6. In conclusion, it has been suggested ; to me that perhaps I have cause for a legal action for slander; but this, I think, is a mistake. I may have been slandered ; but I have not been damaged. W. D.

LOCAL LACONICS. * The Price la Five Ceota. ij From and after this issue of The Ex- j quirer, the price of a single copy of the f paper will be five cents. r The Enquirer Until lat of January, 1898. j The Semi-Weekly Enquirer will be sent to any address, from this date until the 1st of January, 1898, for $1.02. y Work of Lightning:. r Several cows belonging to Mr. John M. Spratt and others, were killed by f lightning iu Mr. Spratt's pasture last , Sunday. j Broke Into a Box Car. A box car at the Carolina and Northwestern depot was broken into last ; Thursday nigbt. The parties took out j some boxes of dynamite, a lot of starch c and a quantity of lard in three pound : cans. The dynamite and starch, together with the tops of the lard cans, were found . iu a field near by. It is likely that other articles were stolen. Up to the time The Enquirer went to press, no arrests had been made. ^ Heavy Liquor Seizure. j Rock Hill Herald, Wednesday: De- tective Newbold seized twenty one-gallon ' jugs of contraband whisky on the south bound Southern train last Saturday night, t Some of the packages were directed to S citizens of Rock Hill; some bad no su- a t perscription, and none of them were ( marked "for personal use." The whisky a was found in charge of one man in the secondidass coach. It was taken to Chester and stored in the baggage room at that place. Still Being Talked About. I Magistrate Alexander, of Clover, was in Yorkvilleon Monday on business. He a told the reporter that the people are still c talking about the mysterious animal re- s eently mentioned by Mr. S. J. Clinton as a prowling in the neighborhood of Bowl- v ing Green. He has uo idea as to the na- ^ ture of the animal; but thinks possibly it j, is a big wooly dog which has left its mas- <j . ter and taken to the woods. There is , still a strong desire to hunt the creature, r\ whatever it is, to the death, and it is like- j ly that when people get through with j their work, such an attempt will be made. ] A Valuable Member. 3 There has been expressed in different 1 quarters, a great deal of regret over the ( resignation of Mr. Pegram from the town council. Though without experience in 1 municipal government, all who know v Mr. Pegram appreciate him as honest and sincere. Many, including a number of wheelmen, endorse his position fully; , and, under the circumstances do not blame him for throwing up his office ; but still they feel that it would have been greatly to the interest of the town had he held out to the end of his term. ? Thinks McLaurlu Is the Mun. g Spartanburg Herald, Thursday: Hon. ? D. E. Finley, of York, and Mr. C. L. Winkler, of Kershaw, members of the .state Democratic executive committee, , were in the city yesterday. Mr. Finley 1 went on to Yorkville, while Mr. Winkler c went down to Glenn's. Mr. Finley stated * that in Columbia, while mingling with ] the committeemen generally, it seems t that McLaurin is the most formidable candidate for the seuatorship. He also . stated that Mr. S. G. Mayfield, of Barnwell county, is an announced candidate for the position. " As Others See Us. Gastonia Gazette: Yorkville is in the throes of a big war between the bicycle folks and the town council. The latter shut the wheelmen off the sidewalks, but gave some ladies the right to ride them. .The Enquirer has over a column of editorial matter upon the situation. ~ These Yorkville fussers make a body tired. The council should shut every rider off the sidewalks and enforce the law alike against all. That would end the trouble. In Uastonia, at the start, the cops pulled several ladies. Later, two pastors and one pastor's wife were fined on charges of riding on the sidewalk. A policeman who swears he'll do his duty ought to do it and be sustained in his efforts. "The Right Kind of Stuff. Rock Hill Herald: Mr. T. H. Spence, who graduated at Davidson college, is in the city. Mr. Spence is a "niau with a s history." He came from Ballamena, 1 county Antrim, Ireland, about 10 years ( ago, being at the time 19 years old. He ^engaged in the blacksmith's trade in Lan^caster for several years, and was known j around as the best workman anywhere in i the country. Ry the money thus obtain- i ed he has put himself through school and 1 'college, winning the Bible prize at the j Presbyterian High school and the orator's ] - i-iedal and a Bible prize at Davidson. le enjoyed the confidence and respect of lis fellow-students, having been elected o many positions of honor. The Church Row Cane. Thechurch row case?State against Nel1011 Davies?charged with disturbing a eligious meeting, was heard before Magstrate Sandifer on Thursday. The proeedings took place in the courthouse, ind occupied the entire day. John R. Hart, Esq., represented the state, and D. 2. Finley, Esq., the defendant. The jury nade a mistrial. It was discovered, howiver, that under an act of the recent ;eneral assembly, the magistrate is with>ut jurisdiction. It was accordingly tgreed that the testimony adduced should ie taken as having been rendered at a preiminary examination, and at the time rhe Enquirer went to press, Magisrate Sandifer had the question as to vhether the matter would be sent up to be sessions court, under advisement. thickens Come Home to Roost. Tbe metropolitan police raided the )remises of Alderman Sohl, of Chareston, a few days ago, in search of >lind tiger. Mr. Sohl is one of the Charleston aldermen who sometime igo refused to sign the memorial lookug to tbe removal of the metropolitan >olice.
