LETTER FROM HUUDTOWN. The Children'* Day Picnic?Death of Mr*. Jane Nelson?Personal Mention. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. Hoodtown, July 19.?There was the largest crowd at the picnic Saturday we have seen here in a long while. The clouds thteatened rain, but from all directions the people began to come in early, and until about 11 o'clock they continued to gather. When the exercises began the house and aisles were crowded. Good attention was paid to the exercises, which consisted of recitations and dialogues by the children, addresses by some of tho older scholars, the whole being interspersed with music by the choir and organ, and lastly, the "Star Exercise," by six of the large girls. Several of the pieces were pronounced excellent, and the children all acted their parts well, reflecting credit not only on themselves, hut on those who trained them for the occasion. Following the exercises, the address by Rev. J. E. Mahalfey was a fitting ending to the exercises, making it "Children's Day" indeed. His subject was "Character Building," and while his language was so plain as to be easily understood by the children, it was also entertaining and edifying to the older people present. After partaking of the dinner, which was mostly spread on a table erected for the purpose, the afternoon was spent in social amusements. The young people seemed to take especial advantage of the opportune time to take buggy rides and to enjoy themselves generally. The materials have been secured to paint Shady Grove church, work on which was commenced today. Some repairs will be made and an effort?a very commeudable onei too?made to put the church in firstclasscondition. Although the crops are not suffering specially for rain yet, a good rain would do a great deal of good towards maturing early corn on upland, reviving gardens, etc. Mrs. Jane Nelson, widow of the late Neely Nelson, died at her home at Gould last Tuesday, the 13th instant, after a short illness. She had been in failing health for a long time, and for some time before her death was almost totally blind. Her remains were interred at Bullock's Creek cemetery last Wednesday. She was about 67 years of age, and bat! been a consistent member of Bullock's Creek church for many years. She leaves six children and several grandchildren to mourn her loss, who have the sympathy of the community in this their second bereavement in about one year. Messrs. Wade Siegel and Fed Smith, of Tirzah, spent last week with friends in tbis section. Misses Eliza A. Black and Vic Saunders, of Guthriesville, are visiting relatives near here. Mrs. Belle Hilton, of Kershaw, is visiting relatives here. Mr. H. K. Cbampman left Saturday for his home, after spending several days with friends and old acquaintances in this section. Mrs. Lizzie Gamble and sister-in-law, Miss Gamble, of Blacksburg, are visiting relatives and friends here. Miss Martha Ingrabam is very ill at her home here from a sudden attack of illness. Voce. SMYRNA NOTES. Condition of the Crops?Good Wheat Harvest?Picnic on the 31st?Two Hoes Killed by Lightning?Other Notes. Oo-reapondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. Smyrna, July 19.?We have been so busy about here lately that we have had but little time in which to blow our "Horn." However, I will try to tell what is going on as best I can. Almost everybody is through "laying by;" but it looks like a pity to quit the crops at this time?they are so small. We are pretty dry about here. There has not been a "season" since wheat harvest. The whoat. ornn is about threshed UD. and the yield is a good average. Messrs. Parsley and Quinn have threshed about 3,000 bushels. We are going to have a big picnic at Smyrna on July 31. Everybody is invited. Our folks have quite a reputation for hospitality, and we will try to show how well we deserve it. I would like to say, however, that all who can are expected to bring baskets. We'll do our part in furnishing baskets and also the best we can in making everybody have a pleasant time. And, by the way, let me say to the young ladies, that the bachelor at the store is pining for them. Their presence will make him all smiles. There are several cases of fever around here, but none are considered dangerous. Mr. T. M. Fayssoux came down from Gastonia last week, gathered up a party and went to the "Xinety-Xines" to fish. They caught about 1,200 in two days, and it was not a good time for fishing either. Lightniug killed two hogs for Mrs. R. G. Whitesides last Saturday. The picnic at Piedmont Springs, on Saturday, was well attended and everybody enjoyed themselves. Mr. R. B. Hunter, of Huntersville, X. C., the well-known singer, was at Smyrna yesterday. Rrief Remarkkr. SHARON SHAVINGS. Fine Crop Prospects?An Opinion on the Bridge iMatter?Personal Notes. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. Sharon, July 19.?Crops are looking well in this section; better than at this season for several years. If the present prospect will hold out for a few weeks longer, we can safely count on fine yields, especially of corn. I am indeed sorry to note tho action of the county commissioners took in regard to the Catawba bridge matter. Do tho commissioners intend to shift the responsibilities of their ollice on to the people ? I thought they were put in office for the purpose of transacting public business and do not think they should shrink from .1 1 i.i I .V...J1I 11.

The campaign meetings during the past few days have been rather tame than otherwise ; but the understanding is that Irby promises some startling sensations during the present week. The reports of the Saluda, and Lexington meetiugs, published below, are taken from the Greenville News: Saluda, July 16.?Four hundred people iu the germinating town packed the courthouse today. Compared to the Edgefield meeting it was tame. Irby's speech was decidedly the most effective of the four; but Mayfield's dispensary argument made a distinct impression and the dispensary system is manifestly weak in the very heart of Tillmanism. All cheering came from not more than 40 men, a slight majority of whom were partisans of Evans, * r> .L . TIT ?T ~ ? ana mosi 01 me oiuers ui .uejjnuuu. Bat Irby seemingly bad the serious and unbroken attention of every man in the crowd. It was a listening audience to Irby. By agreement the candidates spoke only 40 minutes each, which is a great improvement. McLaurin read a letter from T. G. Brown, of Audersou, giving figures, that Allen long staple cotton needed protection. Irby said the author must he an anti, and Evans thought he was a rich banker. McLaurin responded : "Has it come to this in South Carolina that antis must not raise long staple cotton ?" and in the lively colloquy, the advantage was rather McLaurin's. McLaurin followed with his usual tariff views, speaking well, as he always does. Mayfield announced himself for free silver and the system of cashing, known as the Baltimore plan, explaining it briefly. He told the story of Ellerbe saying he would back McLaurin with the power of the administration. His speech' was the best he has delivered, was most effective, especially aj to the dispensary. After Irby, Evans delivered his usual tariff speech. He said if Egyptian cotton was used in a Marlborough mill, as stated by McLaurin, it was for the political purposes of McLaurin like the tin mill in Ohio for McKinley, at which McLaurin smiled and asked the reporters to take it down. Irby, in discussing Ellerbe and the cour? of inquiry, spoke glowingly of Columbia's company, which disbanded when Ellerbe reprimanded a private without reprimanding Walts. Every man of the company, thank God, has a bigger heart than Ellerhe, he exclaimed, amid pronounced applause. Irby said that prior to the senatorial race last year, after they had not spoken for three years, McLaurin wauted to make friends with him, he to support Irby provided Irby supported him for governor. Three days later McLaurin was fighting him. When the constitutional convention campaign was pending, both Irby and McLaurin were caucusing about running an independent ticket. "I deny this," said McLaurin. Here, McLaurin rising, said if any one says I am in any trade or combination, or under any pledge, it is simply untrue; and this was cheered. Irby, with emphatic gesture, put McLauriu ou notice that the people would not submit to the state being committed to protection. He declared that McLaurin admitted at Edgefield that Irby had never voted against the interests of the people, but he could not admit as much for McLaurin. In his speech, Evans said this raising of the protection issue gave the opportunity lor Conservatives and Reformers to unite and on Democratic ground. If there was an anti at the meeting I except the two reporters, he sang tow. Lexington, July 17.?The barbecue and meeting, three miles from Lex- 1 ington, was attended by mauy babies and ladies and less thau two buudred 1 voters. McLaurin spoke last, and after dinner had his reception ; but the little crowd was divided. It was an exceedingly good humored crowd and there was lots of funny incidents. Coionel Irby was unwell and spoke about twenty-five minutes, closing by 1 intimutiug that there would he startling developments in the next five days. Evans made his usual tariff speech. He had friends in the crowd. Mayfield's dispensary views were attentively listened to. McLaurin eloquently denounced the 1 attacks on Ellerbe, saying it was unfair for candidates to pounce upon him iu his absence. Replying to the charge that be wrote the Populist platform, McLaurin said he was first elected to congress largely by alliance influence, that he believed in the alliance principles then and believed in them still, and he was tired of candidates buffetting and nagging him for his fealty to the alliance. He did not deny writing the platform nor affirm it. He said that the necessary government revenues could only be reached by a tariff or a direct tax. He vehemently denounced the system of espionage on private affairs and injustice of a direct tax like England's window tax. AT WINNSBORO MONDAY. By August Kolin. Mr. May field began by declaring that he was in no combination against McLaurin ; but reaffirmed his previous , statement that Governor Ellerbe had said to him that he would bring the full force of his administration to aid McLaurin. The governor, he asserted, liad said to hitn that should only he and McLaurin run he would be hands oil*; but should others run he would 1 use his full influence to secure the election of McLaurin. He had no desire to make this statement; but the charges day after day on the stump and the continual assertion of Ellerbe's paper, (The Kvering Record) had forced him to self-defense to deny being in a combine. Mr. McLaurin asked if t hat was not a private conversation held in the governor's oilice that he was repeating. Mr. Mayiield said it was a conversation held in the governor's oilice ; hut was not private. McLaurin asked if that was all of it. Mayiield answered "No." Evans asked who did Ellerhe mean by should "others" enter the race. Mayfield answered: "Evan9 and Irby." "I said if you (Ellerbe) fight them you fight me," asserted Mr. Mayfield. McLaurin?"That's the combination then, is it?" Mr. Mayfield continued that the governor tried to persuade him from running; but he said "No." McLaurin wanted to know if that was all of the conversation. Mr. Mayfield answered there were other things said which there was no need to repeat. McLaurin?"What Ellerbe said you propose to blazon forth to the world as not of a confidential character; but what you say in the same conversation you hold confidential. So that is your idea of amenities regulating the intercourse between gentlemen," Mr. Mayfield aunounced that Governor Ellerbe would have all the opporlunity to-morrow at Columbia to defend himself. SOUTH (VA ROMS'A NKWS. "Original" Package Store Closed. The original package stores are not to have an easy time of it. Several have been opened and their proprietors have been promptly arrested. W. B. Meetze opened an original package establishment in Columbia last Friday, and during the day made large sales. On Saturday he was arrested unded section 22 of the dispensary law, and released on a bond which did not admit of further sales. The case will be fought in the county, and the outlook is that the way of the original package man is not going to be smooth. Infanticide at Pacolet. A few weeks ago an infant's body wus found in Pacolet river, near Clifton, sewed up in two sacks. Investigation developed that it was a male child about two years old. The head was horribly bruised, presumably by parties before the body was cast in the river. Since then, however, suspicion has been directed toward Lillie Black, a white woman about 25 years of age, who recently worked iu the Clifton mills. She left the mills shortly after the discovery. So strong did the facts of the case point to her that on Saturday she was arrested at Henrietta, N. C., and lodged in the jail at Spartanburg. She will have to answer for the iufanticide at the November term of court. The CleniHon Controversy. Columbia Register : There seems to be considerable difference of opinion between the board of trustees of Clem son and the state board of health. The latter has made strictures on the sanitary arrangements of the college which members of the board of trustees do not think correct. The doctors, for instance, say that the fever at the college was typhoid, while the hoard, acting on the statement of physicians living in the neighborhood, say it was only malaria. It is understood that the board of trustees requested Dr. Babcock to go to Clemson and make an investigation; but he declined because of the pressure of duties at the hospital for the insane, as well as the fact that the board of health is supreme in such matters. According to the law creating the board it has what may be termed supreme power. They can say such and such a disease is typhoid fever and it goes. They can order certain changes in sanitary arrangements to be made and that settles it. Hence no physician would be justified in going against them from a legal standpoint; aud professionally doctors never disagree. What Tillman's Dispensary Bill Means. The State, Tuesday : In these last days of congress, the officials of South Carolina are anxiously watching the daily reports from Washington to see what becomes of the Tillman-Latimer dispensary bill in the house. Yesterday the outlook was being very gener11 T j _i 4. nm/i any aiscusseu uuoul lug eupnui ?uu most of the advocates of the dispeu3ary system in the official family expressed themselves as confident that it would be worked through the house and become a law. Attorney General Barber stated that if that bill passed eliminating the few words in the Wilson act which have caused all the trouble in the courts, the dispensary system would remain as long as the people of the state saw fit to maintain it. With this amendment the state could immediately assume control of all liquor coming from other 3tates the moment it got within the borders of the state, and there would be no more cases in the United States courts, injunctions, etc. He expressed himself very emphatically and positively on the subject and laughed at the idea that the bill would mean nothing if passed.

C. Strauss : Please send samples of the Jaeonett, Crystal Cloth, Figured and Striped Organdy, selling at 5 cents, as advertised in "Yorkville Enquirer" of July 7th, and greatly oblige Mrs. , Walhalla, S. C. Of course, I have 110 reason to Dtiblisli the name of mv t>ros r y jl pective customer; but don't you think that it proves that H. C. Strauss's prices are right? We certainly do ; and, further, we know that no merchant can unj dersell us and stay in business. All kinds of Underwear at ridiculously low prices. And it is a good time to buy. While at Strauss's you will find his stock of Gents' Clothing very much broken, in the event that you can find what you want you will certainly be able to get it at a lower price than you ever were offered the same quality of goods before. Watch Strauss's Bargain Counter and you will surely find something that will be worth your while to scoop in. New goods are added to it everyday, and in every article you will find a bargain.

It is not only the best buggy built in the southern states; but is also the best finished, in 1>ainting and trimming, while its dura)ility is ooual to almost any requirement. The painting never allows it to present a shoddy, makeshift appearance at any stage of its existence, while it is made to sell, it is also made to satisfy the customer and represent a value equal to the price for which it is sold. It is LIGHT AND STRONG and always built of the very hist material to be bad, and in all stages of its construction it is passed through a thorough, severe and critical inspection by one whose first thought is to have it built as nearpefection as human skill can accomplish. We make them to order or keep them in stock, and it will be to your interest to consult us when in need oi a venicie. THE CINCINNATI BUCCY Can always be purchased from us and at almost any price.

I REPRESENT over $27,000,000.00 of assets in my fire insurance ageucy, and I am prepared to write FIRE and TORNADO INSURANCE on short notice at the lowest prevailing rates. Each fire policy carries with it, without extra charge, a "lightning clause," which protects the insured against loss or damage by lightning. I represent the Norwich Union Fire Office of England, which is an absolutely fire tested company, having been "dragged oyer the coals" since 1797. Then I have the .Etna of Hartford, which has been doing business at the "old stand" since 1819; the Pennsylvania is by no means a "sauatter or experiment," having been "nghtin' fire in all its fury" since 1825. The Delaware Insurance company has been pretty severely burned several times, but has maintained its motto?"Just, Prompt, Certain" since 1835. The Old Continental, which is living in exile from the South-Eastern tariff association, thinks she can stand alone and work in "single harness," and since 1853 the "old lady" has helped her children to something over $35,000,000 and she is always "at home." Insurance left with my agency will always receive prompt and careful attention. L. GEO. GRIST, Resident Agent. FIRST NATIONAL BANK 01 Rock Hill, S. C. ORGANIZED JANUARY, 1887.
