ley, of York ; and Dr. T. J. Strait, of Lancaster, the present incumbent. There may be others, and some of these may not be in it; but all are being talked about. United States Jurors. Grand and petit jurors for the February, 1898, term of the United Stated circa it court at Greenville, were drawn as follows : Grand jurors?E. B. Beard and R. B. Youngblood, Yorkville. Petit jurors?A. H. White and J. C. Lindsay, Rock Hill; H. H. Smith aud J. J. Hunter, Yorkville. Seized For Short Measure. The quarrel between Detective Newbold and the state board of control, is interesting. The constitution provides that the state cannot sell liquor in packages of less than one-half pint. Newbold recently seized, in the Chester dispousary, some packages that were short measure and sent them to the state dispensary, with a threat that unless the board complied with the law, he would prosecute it. This is said to be the cause of the board's grievance against Newbold. Overheard at Tirzah. Rock Hill correspondence of the Columbia Register: As the special train was just getting ready to leave Tirzah for Rook Hill, Mr. Tillman and Colonel J. D. M. Shaw were engaged in conversation on the righthand corner ot the front platform of the second coach from the rear of the train. The Register correspondent and another were standing on the opposite platform. Colonel Shawasked Mr. Tillman some questions, to which T paid little attention; but Mr. Tillman's answer indicated its nature. Mr. Tillman said: "Well, McLaurin, I think ; but his majority will not be as great as we once thought." Runaway Accident. Ed L. Humphreys, traveling representative of the Southern Saw Works of Atlanta, was seriously injured in a runaway between Clover and (iastonia, last Thursday. The horse becoming frightened, dashed madly down the road, hurling Mr. Humphreys and the driver beneath the vehicle, where they became entangled in the wheels. The horse, for some reason, checked its speed at about this moment, and it is to this circumstance, probably, that both men owe their lives. Mr. Humphreys was carried to the Smith hotel, at Clover, where his wounds received necessary attention. The Yorkviile Postolflce. The Washington correspondent of the Columbia State says that most of the presidential postoffiees in South Carolina are to be filled by Negroes, and gave the i names of Negroes who are alleged to have been selected by Webster for many of the positions. The Yorkviile office is j not mentioned in the list, and as to who is to receive the appointment here has not developed. The term of the present incumbent expires December 14,1897. The only applicant for the position, other than Miss Moore, of which The Enquirer has heard, is Mr. A. S. Withers, of Yorkviile, who was appointed by President Harrison in 1893; but whose appointment was not confirmed by the senate. Baslnega of the Dispensary. Rock Hill correspondence of the Col- . utnbia Register: A shameful scene of debauchery was witnessed at Tirzah before the echoes of Tillman's defence of the dispensary had died away. By the order of the county board of control, the local dispensary was not opened until 4 o'clock on the afternoon of the last day's meeting. But long before that hour there was a long lino of impatient devotees of Bacchus, eagerly awaiting the hour for handing out the accursed stuff. When the door was opened there was a rush, and there, right in sight of numbers of noble women, these men formed two lines, one pushing up to the counter, the other coming away. There were not less than three hundred men in the crowd, and others were disappointed because the limited time kept their end of the line from reaching the goal. Had there been no dispensary at Tirzah, hundreds of dol- j lars would now be lying in the pockets of hard working men, whereas it has gone into the coffers of an institution which is the devil's makeshift for that absolute prohibition for which the people voted in i 1892. j A Tarheel Tartar. The Enquirer had a pleasant visit last week from Editor H. S. Blair, of the . Lenoir Topic. He stopped in Yorkville on his way to and from the Tirzah en- , chmpment, where he went to see and hear Senator Tillman. Editor Blair won ( distinction in North Carolina journalism by his nervy, but righteous, reproval j of Judge Norwood, one of the political accidents of the Tarheel state, for habit- : ual drunkenness. When Norwood got 1 drunk on the bench at Lenoir, Editor ' Blair pitched into him with gloves off. ' The judge became furious and threaten- ' ed to put the editor in jail for contempt of I court unless he should apologize. But i Editor Blair was not built that way. lie I announced that he was ready to prove I ??? ? Iw, liuil ...u.ll ,,c ? , law-abiding citizen, was ready to face any ; punishment legal, or personal, Norwood might have the power to impose. This stand somewhat sobered the judge. At any rate, his honor backed down, and out < of the incident arose impeachment proceedings, which Norwood managed to ( stay by sending his resignation to tho judiciary committee of the house of representatives, with the understanding that the resignation is to take ell'ect the next { time the court gets drunk while on duty. \ Kditor Blair had never seen or heard 1 Tillman before, and came away from Tir- 1 zah a great admirer of the "pitchfork" 1 senator. i AS TO DIRECT TAX. McLnurln Shows It Would lie u Hardship on South Carolina. , Mr. August Kohn reports a speech that was made by Senator McLauriu i at Greenwood recently, as follows : "Since Mr. Evans has repeatedly declared his belief in a direct tux to meet government expenses, I presume i that is his fixed opinion in regard to national taxation. 1 have sent to i Washington for the report on that question iu order to be fair, and will iV,o n/.rrui.t nnuli'sifi nf his give JV.. J...., position. In short, ho has loft tho Deiuocratio party bag and baggago and gone ovor to tho "single taxors," and joined hands with Senator Poller, Henry George, Jerry Simpson and Mrs. Lease. The supreme court has held that a direct tax can only be levied upon real estate, and that is exactly < the doctrine of the Democratic party. To prove this, I will say for the benefit of Mr. Evans, that the Democrats of Delaware are at this very hour lighting to rid their state of this heresy. A direct tax has been levied in I this nation but four times. Takeu all together these levies amounted to only < $31,000,000. This species of tax was pronounced u failure and could not be I collected at the present time without ' the aid of Federal bayonets, as Mr. Evans must admit. I have no time to go into details; but advise everyone to look the matter up for himself, and form his own conclusions. I will give you an example of direct taxation as it would apply to our state. The share of South Carolina would be determined by its per cent, of population, and this amount would be levied on and collected from real estate owners only. The bankers, bondholder, note owner and all other owners of personal property would not be taxed one single penny for this tax. In a word, the farmers, under this method of taxation would be forced to pay all, or nearly all, national taxation. This is the doctrine which Mr. hJvans, senator jrener, jerry oimpson and Mary Lease are trying to fool the people with. I hardly think they will succeed after this exposure. The share of South Carolina of the present government expenses would be about $10,000,000 annually. The last census gives the real estate value of.this state at $90,000,000. By making a simple calculation it would be seen that this doctrine of Mrs. Lease and Mr. Evans would cost every farmer owoing a farm valued at $1,000, a national tax of $111 each year. Remember, also, that these taxes are levied and collected by Federal officers, whose methods many here present have uot forgotten. "My friends, are you in favor of such an outrageous system of taxation ? Are you prepared to join hands wit.i Mrs. Lease, Governor Evans and Jerry Simpson and walk out of the Democratic party ? Are you ready to have this state filled once more with a horde of Federal officers, whose duties would consist in plundering the farmer for the benefit of all other kinds of business? If you are, join In with Mrs. Lease and Mr. Evans. If you believe in fair play and just taxation, as I know you do, you must repudiate both Mr. Evans and Mrs. Lease with their unfair and wild theories." DUNCAN HAS A SAY. Claims That He Is Only Seeking Safety Against Attack. The senatorial campaign meeting of Monday was at Newberry, and about the only distinctive feature was the appearance of John T. Duncan, who has not heretofore been keeping up with the show. Mr. Duncan's speech is synopsized by Correspondent Kohn as follows : Mr. John T. Duucau spoke first, and said he felt very much at home. Last year he did not miss a meeting. This year he was at court for the first three weeks' meeting, and for the past two weeks he has been chained down by domestic duties. He said that last year he entered the race from the * _/? JmL.I nigliest sense 01 uuiy. luai/ rave was justified and be felt that he had done his state a good service. He denied that any man had suffered misrepresentation at his hands, and no candidate had a right to claim martyrdom. To the mau who claims martyrdom let him specify and he could and would prove every allegation he ever made with accumulated evidence. He did not care to hear anything more about any one suffering at his hands, because he had facts for everything he has ever said on the slump. As to McLaurin's tariff views, he expected him to justify it as a temporary expedient and not as a principle. The state is well nigh united on the silver question. There was some indication of interference iu this race. Last year Tillman made Evans the party candidate. Some say Tillman defeated Evans; but for Tillmar's interference he would hardly have gotten over 5,000 votes. What was wanted was a denial from Tillman that he said what was quoted in the Charleston papers. The statement sounded very much like Tillman. If Tillman interfered in this race he deserved retribution. He said he has never been a bootlick and would not do so now. Last year he told Tillman he was afraid he was a politician. Last year Tillman came down to two called meetings of the state board of control and it is said there were harsh words from one of i.;_ i 1 .......1,1 HIS Ul'ltlCS 11 fi'tJ auu lie wuuiu irvu iu liavc it explained how they were such frienJs now. In reply to Colonel Irby lie said he did not refer to him as the 'critie." He said as for himself he liad no apologies to make for his past record, and he would now give his !>est 'services to his state. He said as lie was at home he would not trespass upon the time of the other speakers. He spoke for about 20 minutes. FEVER AND MALARIA. What Is Not Known About Tlieiu Would Fill Many Hooks. I'hurlotte Observer: In a communication in the Statesville Laudmuik, I)r.*Johu F. Foard liscusses fevers and malarial diseases ?nil their phiium Heeharires them to impure air, the result of decaying mutual and vegetable matter, and thinks lhat x fruitful source of these diseases in this rural districts is the felling of trees iu streams, causing their overtlow, the decaying timber also giving off poisonous vapors. He says thut from 1840 to 1850, "many thousands of lives were thus prematurely sacrificed annually iu thut section between Charlotte and (ireensboro, where health and happiness had previously reigned. Some of the counties employed from 20 to 80 physicians each constantly, and they using from one to three horses to do their riding." In the conclusion of this article he refers to an interesting and noluble fact of history thus : Soon after the late war, 21 men from Wilkes county attended Federal court at Salisbury and camped on the ridge between the large McCoy mill-pond and the town. On their return home 17 of them soon died of fever. Since then thut pond has been drained, the creek above and below straightened, and thousands of acres of the very best lund put in successful cultivation, which has greatly improved the health of the town and surrounding country. These aud many other cases prove that elevation is no guarantee against tbose poisonous vapors. Besides, the most obstinate and fatal cases of fever occur in the mouutains. In this last connection we refer to the fact that a member of the staff of The Observer, in an article from Ashe ville appearing in this paper, tells that typhoid fever has invaded Mr. Vanderbilt's mansion al< Biltmore. The water with which it is supplied is the purest, the plumbing and sewerage are perfect, and it may be depended upon that the drainage of the whole premises is faultless and that nowhere in the vicinity is there lurking a cause of disease which any ordinary intellegence can detect. Typhoid fever is like the wind, which bloweth where it listeth?it is hard to tell whence it cometh. Medical science has yet much to learn about it. SOUTH CAROLTNA NEWS. DentH of an Aged Lady. Lancaster Ledger: Mrs. Elizabeth Long, widow of the late Rev. J. R. Lougg died at her home near Longsville last Thursday morning, August 3,1897, aged 74 years 3 months and 13 days. She was the mother of six children, all of whom survive her, except one. The surviving children are W. J. Long, of this place, M. J. Long, of Yorkville, \f??o T T A /Inmo Mra M" f! Knu/prs and Mrs. S.'W. Bowers of this county. Death of Dr. A. H. Davega. Dr. A. H. Davega died at his home in Chester, last Sunday night, in the 75th year of his age. He was one of the ipost valued citizen# of Chester, having been identified with the business of this town for the greater part of his life. He has conducted most successfully a large drug busiuess here since before the war. From 1874 to 1879 he was president of the Chester and Lenoir railroad and was mayor of Chester for two terms just after the close of the war. He was by far the most industrious and attentive man to his work in this town. Dr. Davega leaves six daughters and one son, Dr. S. M. Davega. State Board Pleaxed. The state board of control is said to be very much pleased at Judge Simonton's latest dispensary decision. Members of the board say that the decision is a deathblow to original package stores. The stores will be so hampered that they qannot compete except in the case of beer, and in order to checkmate the "originals" in this matter, the understanding is that the board will establish special beer dispensaries over the state, at points even where the state is not now selling liquor. The original package people also claim to be satisfied with the decision. They say they can continue to do a profitable business under it. The fact is that the decision is still indefinite in its terms, and there will probably be a great deal of litigation yet before the matter is settled. Senatorial Outlook. Columbia correspondence of The News and Courier: The senatorial campaign is now beginning to draw to a close. There are only fourteen meetings yet to be held. This week will carry the campaigners through the entire up-country field. There is just three weeks more of it, and the following Tuesday the election will be held. Although the campaign is so nearly completed it. is hard to tell what has been accomplished, McLaurin's friends claim that he has come out of the Piedmont section with better results than many expected. On the other hand, Evans's friends claim that he has been making a good impression everywhere that he has visited. And then Irby's friends come along and say that he has a big lead. But all say that the quiet vote, if it comes out, is the deciding factor, and of that vote no one can tell anything so far. President of Clemson. The State : me commiuee 01 toe board of trustees of Clemson college, consisting of Governor Ellerbe, M. L. Donaldson and J. E. Wannamaker, appointed to cast about and select a suitable man for president of the institution, it is said will not go at its work in a rush. The committee in- , tend to look around and use its every endeavor to secure the best possible man for the place. Tbey want a live, energetic manager who is known for his scholarly attainments and knows exactly what will be expected of him , as the head of such an institution. On September 1, President Craighead's , resignation will take eirect. If this committee has not selected a man by that time, it has already been arranged that Dr. Hardin, the professor of chemistry at the college, | will discharge the duties of president until a man has been selected. Ex-Secretary of State Tindal, who it was thought would he elected at the I last meeting, declined to accept the presidency were it tendered him. He i has a large farm to look after in Clar- 1 endon county, and did not feel equal to the work that the position requires. ] Governor Ellerbe says that at present the special committee has no one in ( particular in view ; hut doubtless there well he plenty of applications from i which to select. I>?Htli of Judge McGowan. ! General Samuel McGowan died at his home in Abbeville, last Monday , mnruimr at 8 30 o'clock. General McGowan was born in Laurens county, on October 9, 1819, and at the time of his death was in the 79th year of his age. During his long life he dis- i tinguished himself as soldier, lawyer, 1 jurist and judge. He graduuted with distinction from the South Carolina college in 1841, read law, and was admitted to the bar; but in 184G volunteered as a member of the famous Palmetto regiment and went to the Mexican war. He participated in many battles, and came home a I captain. After the war he represent- i ed his county for many years in ' the general assembly. Upon the se- } cession of South Carolina from the t Union, he immediately volunteered his J services to his state, and afterward to j the Confederacy, serving with distinction until Appomatox and returniug home a brigadier general. He participated in the Reconstruction convention of 18G5, and was nominated and 1 elected to congress ; but was not allowed to take his seat. After bearing his full share in the famous political < campaign of 187G, he again went to the general assembly, which, in 1879, J elected him to be associate justice of the ( supreme court. This position he held i until 1893, when he was superceded ! by Eugene B. Gary. For a day or two ] preceding bis death, he was delirious : and most of the time in his delirium ' he could be heard by those around him ! giving orders to his old command. AT THE CHURCHES. uaptist. .

CAROLINA BUGGY CO. NO BUGGY ON THE MARKET IS EQUAL to the CAROLINA BUGGY at the price it is sold. It is not only the best buggy built in the southern states; but is also the best finished, in painting and trimming, while its durability is equal 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 best material to be had, and in all stages of its construction it is passed through a thorough, severe and critical inspection by one whoso 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 of a vehicle.
