Leltch at Mount Holly?Tirzah Wallops Autloch?Other Interesting News Notes. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. Warren, August 30.?Fodder is ripening, cotton is opening, picnics and fishfrys are a thing of the past, and the farmers who have been enjoying a season of rest and pleasure, will soon be quite busy again. We are glad to learn through The Enquirer that John L. McLaurin is well agaiu aud able to make another speech, which we read in the last issue of your paper. A great many of the people of this place are attending the Leitch meeting at Mount Holly. A great many think he is doing some extra good preaching, while others think he is entirely too rough. I suppose the dogs he hits hardest are yelping the loudest. The meeting will continue until next Suuday night. The singing school at this place is still running two days out of every week. Our Temperance union meets again on Saturday night before the second Sabbath in September. After the Antioch boys waltzed the Tirzah boys so badly in a game of ball sometime ago, our second nine concluded that they could do the same thing, and went over to Tirzah a few days ago and ^ iosi meir reputation, a? lucgamc iraui.w. ^ in a score of 50 to 15 in favor of the Tirzah ^ boys. j Mr. S. M. Roach is erecting a new j dwelling house and will soon abandon his old home. The colored people are building a new church near this place. 1 Several so-called mad dogs have been 1 through this section ; but did no harm more than to bite several dogs?none of t which have gone mad yet. Mr. D. S. Bates, of Charlotte, N. C., is visiting his father, Mr. T. K. Bates. 1 Mr. O. N. Hahn and his wife, of Ches- i ter, S. C., are visiting here. , Mr. Arch Steele and wife, of Tirzah, S.

Correspondence ot the Yorkville Enquirer. : Blacksburg, August 31.?One of the { most severe storms of rain, wind and hail ( we have had this year, passed over this . section yesterday afternoon, beginning a t little before 4 o'clock and lasting for j on imntv The cloud came ud very rapidly from the northwest, the wind blowing at a fearful rate, and in some places, especially in the neighborhood of . Moore's mill, uprooting and twisting off j large trees. The hail fell about 20 tnin- ' utes, thick and fast, and larger than par- ' tridge eggs. The cotton was so far ma- 1 tured that it was not much injured, but I considerable damage was done to fodder < and late corn. The rain was very refresh- s ing, however, alter the high temperature j of the past few days, and the atmosphere > this morning is bracing and delightful. j The first train from Blacksburg to J Broad river, over the new branch of the ? Ohio River and Charleston railroad, from j here to Gaffney, was run yesterday morning. It was in charge of Conductor John Tripp and Engineer K. C. Gross and car- . rietl, beside a lot of material for the bridge across the river, two car loads of freight ( for Cherokee Falls Cotton mill. The "Factory wagon," the two big ' mules and their genial and accommoda- ( ting driver, Ed Ligon, will hereafter he one of the pleasant memories of the past, 1 I suppose, so far as the transportation of s goods, and machinery, and cotton, etc., : are concerned, from Blacksburg to Cher- < okee Falls. It will now go by rail, and * we will miss Ed and his sturdy companions very much. Rev. Mr. Gregg, who has had temporary charge of the Presbyterian church at tins place for the past two months, will leave for his home, at Floraucc, tomor- 1 row. Dtirinp his brief stav. ho has not only won the esteem ami love of the members of the church ; but has made 1 friends of all of our citizens with whom 1 he came in contact. He will always meet with a warm welcome here. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Dntf returned on Sunday from their brief visit to Baltimore. w. A. FIGHT WITH MOONSHINERS. rnrrible Tragedy ill ArkamtaH Mountains Last Sunday. Six men were probably mnssacree iu :be wilds of Pope county, Arkansas, ast Sunday afternoon, says a Little Rock dispatch of Monday. Two were billed outright, two were fatally wounded and left for dead, and two lave mysteriously disappeared and ire either dead or being held captive jy bandits. The killed are : Captain B. F. Tny or, of Searcy county, deputy United States marshal; Joe Dodsou, of Stone ;ounty, deputy marshal. The fatally wounded are : Brothers lame Renfrew, of Searcy county. The names of the missing men are lot known ; hut they are supposed to ie deputy sheriffs from an adjoining :ounty. The victims were all deputy United States marshals and deputy sherilfs, md the men who did the work are nooushiners of the boldest and most lesperate class. The scene of the :riuae was a gulch or ravine iu the nountains of Pope county, at an isoated spot thirty-five miles from Rus.ellville, the nearest telegraph office, ind ten miles from Witt Springs. The -egion is wild aud isolated. It has for >-ears been the favorite rendezvous for jouuterfeiters and moonshiners, aud is i district in which no law-abiding citizen can live. The officers for a long ,ime have been trying to break up the awlessness iu that vicinity, and mauy lattles between them aud the desperaloes have occurred. Captain B. F. Taylor, the richest nan in Searcy county aud a man of nuch prominence, determined to aid he officers in putting dowu crime. He secured a commission as a deputy [Jnited States marshul and led the losse iu the raid that resulted iu his louth A foiu fluvs sum a sncoes>ful J~ "O -aid was made in the same locality, in vhich a dozen moonshiuers were capured and brought to Little Rock. )ne of them told the officers that at east 50 large distilleries were opera,ing in the same neighborhood. Tayor, with bis posse, located a large noonsbine outfit, Saturday night, and lecided to make the raid Sunday. Proceeding slightly in advauce of his nen, Taylor was withiu 30 feet of the listillery wbeu he was tired upon from imbush and instantly killed. As Dodson ran up to Taylor he was ilso shot dead. Ritles began to crack n all directions, und u volley was'fired uto the officers. The Renfrew brothirs fell mortally wounded aud lay by he roadside until later in the day, vhen a traveler named Puck came by. Vll traces of the bandits had disapleared, as well as two of the deputy iheriffs. The latter have not since >eeu seen or heard from. Pack hur ied to Russellville with the news, and he coroner, together with a sheriff's josse, immediately started for the cene. No news has been received ince they departed. Pack thinks the Renfrew brothers will be dead before he party reaches them. It was not mown by whom the crime was coranitted; but the officers believe the ;ang is composed of desperadoes headid by Horace Bruce and John Church, wo of the most dangerous characters n t.hnt, looalitv. The United States authorities were ,oday requested to offer a reward for he desperadoes, and a determined efort will be made to capture them 't is very probable that the effort wil ead to further bloodshed. Captain Taylor was an ex-captain in he Federal army. He had served two erms in the state legislature and was loted for his bravery. The authorities at Washington huve tifered a reward of $500 for the capture md delivery of the moonshiners, and lave also authorized the expenditure >f a sum not to exceed $2,000 in the irganization of a posse to hunt them tp. SOUTH CAROLINA NKWS. Meetze Makes a Itow. W. B. Meetze, the well-known orignal package dealer of Columbia, made i big row last Saturday. On Friday i young man named Fuller, went into VIeetze's establishment, bought an 'original package," and then went off ind made an affidavit to t lie effect that le was under age. Meetze claimed hat Fuller had told him that he was 11 years of age, and swore out a warrant against him for perjury. But that lid not settle the matter. Next day he constables served Meetze with a warrant, charging him with maintainng a nuisance under the clause of the lispensary law which forbids the sale >f liquor to minors. Meetze refused .0 be arrested except by force. He said he was doing business under the aws of the Uuited States as interpreted by Judge Simontou, and no>ody had any right to interfere with lim. He would, therefore, brook no nterference except by bonded officers, [f these should attempt to arrest him he would resist as far as possible; but would not try to hurt anybody. Upon his a posse was organized, consisting jf constables and policemen. Meetze squared himself, and members of the :)osse laid hold. There was a severe struggle and Meetze maintained himself against the ]>osse for sometime. \n outsider attempted to interfere to issist the constables; but somebody apped him on the head with a club tnd he was not interested in subsequent proceedings. The constables at ength got the better of Meetze and carried him to the office of a magisrate, where he was released on a $200 jond. He at once resumed the sale jf oiiginal packages in another store. The store iu which he was arrested ivas closed by the constables. He says he will now bring suit for damtges against the officers, by whom he was arrested, on their official bonds. Hie Case of Wliitiix. Columbia State, Monday : The State a few days ago, gave all the facts about the service of the rule to show cause why he should not be punished tor contempt upon Mr. Whilus, of Chester. It will he recalled that Mr. NVhitus, before Judge Simonton's final original package decision, got some lienor and began selling it at Chester. He was arrested, his slull" seized, and Judge Witherspoon put lr.ni under an injunction in accordance with the dispensary law. When Judge Simonton's decision came along he got the appointment as agent of a North Carolina whisky firm and began to sell li- { quor again in original packages strict- , ly in accord with Judge Simonton's j decision. Soon Newbold, the state ( detective, rearrested him and seized _ his stock, and Judge Witherspoon is- i sued a rule for him to show cause for i contempt of his previous order. " Whitus then came here and engaged the services of Mr. P. H. Nelsoti. When the governor was seen, enough 1 was said to show that the state intended to make this the test case as to ' whether the state courts would recog- f nize the authority of the Federal * courts. Mr. .Nelson nas not Deen c j wasting his time since he took * (charge of the matter. On Satur- ? (lay he went before Judge Si- 1 inontou at Flat Rock and secured from r him a rule to show cause against Newbold, requiriug him to show cause on i September 9 at Flat Rock, if any he 8 can, why the liquor seized by him ] shall not be released and returned to | the agent, and why he shall not be l enjoined from further interfering with ? VVIiitus. In the meantime Mr. Nelson proposes to go before Judge Witherspoon at Yorkville on the day appoiut- ) ed and appear in behalf of Whitus. He will present the matter fully if Judge Witherspoon decides to proceed j with the hearing before the United States court proceeding is disposed of. ^ Klondike Fortunes.?The steam- d er Portland arrived at Seattle, Wash- " ington, last Sunday, says a dispatch. ^ She carried 13 miners, each of whom f brought only a small part of his stake, t The total amount in dust on the vessel * is perhaps $575,000. The Portland e was delayed by the failure of the P. B. L Weare to arrive at St. Michaels and by ? a storm on the north Pacific coast. f The miners, on board with the y amount of their total mining profits, ? parts of which were brought with them, are as follows: J. Roalan, $50,000; Jim Bell, $45,000; Joe Goldsmith, $35,- I 000; N. W. Powers, $35,000; W. W. t Caldwell, $35,000; W. Oler, $30,000; 1 v ?o^nnn. w Tohh V. IV. UC1I IJ y VWUjVUV J A . ff .

F. Harrity as uatioual committee- I man. Harrity, it will be remembered, 1 as national chairman, managed the ? last campaign in which Cleveland was 2 elected. He was re-elected as nation- 1 al committeeman at the Chicago con- ^ vention. He was an advocate of the " gold staudard, however, and refusing to accord to the Chicago platform, the 1 state committee asked him to step j down and out. This he refused to do, e and at a meeting held Monday night, v by a vote of 53 to 26, his position was j* declared vacant. Speaking In the North.?Senator Tillman left for the north last Friday 1 night with the intention of delivering -I a series of speeches. Ho had an ap- * pointraent to speak in Troy, N.

He will go from New i York to the state of Pennsylvania, J speaking first at Rochester. He will ( make a series of speeches in the min- j ing regions of Pennsylvania, where he 2 has been before. He will not begin his 3 speeches in Pennsylvania until Sep- ? tember 4th. f ? f The Uprising In India.?The up- 51 rising against British authority in In- ? dia has become very serious. The r fountainheud of the trouble is in Af- 1 ghanistan. It is an independent move- 1 ment apparently ; but is spreading at a rate that is alarming. The insur- ' gents have seized and are now holding ( the principal pass between Afghanistan v and India. There have been several i conflicts with the British troops so far, j1 nnd the insurgents have had rather the lH best of it. It is estimated that it will c require an army of some forty thou- r sand men to put down the trouble, 1 and if the insurrection should gain c considerable headway in India, it may 1 result in the overthrow of British rule. 1 t ~at the churches. } baptist. j Sunday Services.?Sunday school at l 5 o'clock. associate reformed.
