effort of tbe^town council, no matter what
might be its motive, is an insult to the
intelligence of the community. Yorkville
is named Yorkville by virtue of an
act of the general assembly, and that
body has not seen fit to provide that the
act, or any part of it, can be altered,
amended or repealed at ^he instance of
the honorable town council, even upon a
vote of the people of the town.
CHAT FROM CHEROKEE.
Weather and Crop*?Sermon by Rev. Mr.
Betts?Other Note* of Interest.
Correspondence ot the Yorkville Enquirer.
Etta Jane, September 1^.?The weather
is at present very dry, and gardens, potato
patches and late corn are suffering
for want of raiu. Corn crops along the
creeks and rivers, where they have been
worked well, are very good. Mr. William
Blackwell, whose farm lies in the
fork of Thickety creek and Broad river,
says he can stand in bis tracks and touch
10 full grown ears of corn on one row.
Making due allowance for natural defects,
this will give an average of about 91
bushels to the acre. Of course Mr. B.
does not claim that bis farm will average
this all over.
Our farmers who have wheat to grind
have been taking it to the roller mills at
Yorkville, aud are much pleased with the
* turnout as well as the quality of the flour
they got.
The water in Broad river is very low.
The sand has run iu at Howell's ferry so
that the boat has great difficulty in landing
at times. The ierry is supplied with
a splendid boat.
On the 26th instant. Rev. C. B. Belts,
ex-chaplain of the Twelfth S. C. regiment,
will preach in the A. R. Presbytev
rian church at Hickory Grove. The survivors
of the "Old Twelfth" ought to turn
out on that occasion and bear him.
On Wednesday of last week, a protracted
meeting closed at Salem church. It
was conducttd by the pastor, Rev. W. R.
Owings,. assisted by Rev. Mr. Burwell.
It continued for eight days, and six accessions
to the church was the result.
Madam rumor says that our neighbor,
C. F. Inman, will remove to Yorkville
this fall or winter to school his children.
Mrs. Jaue Grant, nee Miss Chambers, of
Hood town, spent last week with MrsAmanda
Lee.
The cotton is opening very fast. Most
of it will be open before the last of this
month if the weather continues dry. The
crop is very suun?uiuiu muic ou ?uau
we expected it to be a month or six weeks
ago. Sigma.

IN FAVOR OF SILVER.
In England In Earnest or Only Giving 1
Some Tafty.
At the semi-annual meeting of the
Bank of England last Thursday, says a '
London dispatch, Governor Hugh C.
Smith said:
"You are probably aware of the pro- '
posals laid before the government iu
the summer by the Uuited States aud
France, whereby this country might increase
its use of silver, as a contribution
to an international agreement
which, while not affecting our gold
standard, might enable the mints of
France and America to resume free
coinage. Among the proposals was
one asking the bank to hold the
amount of silver permissible under the
act of 1844 as against its notes."
The governor then read a letter,
dated July 29, addressed to the chancellor
of the exchequer, Sir Michael
Hicks-Beach. It was as follows:
"Referring to our conversation, we
beg to say the bank is prepared to carry
out what is laid down as permissible
in the bank charter, viz : To hold
one-fifth of the bullion, held against
its notes issue, in silver, provided always
that the French mint is again
open to the free coinage of silver, and
that the price at which silver is procurable
and salable are satisfactory."
Replying to the questions, the governor
said the bauk had no negotiations
with the United States monetary
commissioners, adding:
"We have bought no silver. All
we have done is to agree, under certain
conditions, to carry out what :s
permissible under the act of 1844."

Two cargoes of western grain have
been booked for Liverpool from Kansas
City and St. Louis by way of
Charleston. This means the opening
of the new grain elevator on the South
Carolina and Georgia railroad terminal
and the establishment of direct trade
with Europe. The grain will come in
over the South Carolina and Georgia
railroad and western connections and
- the Charleston Transport line of steamers.
Collecting History.?Mr. Augusi
Kohn, the Cc'umbia represeutative o
The News and Courier, is not only at
industrious and wideawake newspapei
correspondent; but he has been en
gaged for years in the collection and
preservation of documents and speeches
relating to the Confederate history
of South Carolina, and he has accumulated
a large quantity of material thai
will prove valuable in future days foi
the historian. In addition to pamphlets
and scrapbooks, he has a bound
volume of the Confederate rolls as
printed for the adjutant general'f
office, which was obtaiued from the
publisher, and this will become iuvalu
able if the state declines to put these
rolls into permanent form. Mr. Kobn
deserves much credit for his careful
attention to Confederate records, and
as a young man his course is most
commendable, for he is an exception
to the general rule.?Greenville Mouu
tajneer.
Condition of Cotton.?The weekly
crop report of the government, in
so far it relates to cottOD, issued last
Tuesday, is as follows :
Cotton has generally suffered further
injury during the past week and
its general condition is less favorable
than reported in the preceding bulletin.
Marked deterioration is reported
from the Carolinas, Georgia, Tennessee,
Arkansas and Oklahoma. Heat
and drought over the greater part of
the cotton belt have stopped growth
and caused much premature opening
and shedding, while rains in Florida
have retarded picking. Scattered
heavy rains have also interfered with
picking in portions of Texas and
caused slight damage by washing out
open cotton in places ; but improved
the crop where still growing. In portions
of southern and central Texas,
late cotton and the "top crop" over
northern Texas will not mature unless
frost is unusually late. Cotton has
opened freely throughout the cotton
belt; picking has made rapid progress
and will generally be completed earlier
than usual. In Arkansas the crop
will be gathered at one picking.

Killed a Blue Crow.
Columbia Register: Captain Counts,
of Lexington county, brought to The
Register office a curiosity which is not
often seen in this state or the south.
Captain Counts was riding along a
road on his farm on Monday, when he
saw a crow sitting on a tree. Having
his gun along with him he took a shot
at the bird and "bagged" it. It proved
to be a blue crow. Iu every respect
it was like auy other crow except iu
color. It had the same "caw" before

Original Package Cases.
Columbia Register : Attorney General
Barber is now in Chester giving
study to aud preparing the papers in
the origiual package cases which have
been set for the 20th instant. Five
cases are pending, and it is the intention
of Judge Simonton to hear all ol
them together. Practically the same
questions will arise. The attorney
general has a full set of the federal
reports at his home, aud in order tc
devote his entire attention to the cases,
he decided to work them up in Chester.
All the attorneys, it is said, are
t ready for the legal fray, and the outf
come of the cases are looked forward
i to with some degree of interest.
" Hauling Originals.
Several of the originul package men
I of this city were seen last uight after
the news of the refusal of the railroads
' to take shipments in hulk was made
known, says the Spartanburg Herald
t of Wednesday. "Our houses can char"
ter a car," said one, "and pack liquor
in that car in any way they see fit.
I They will charter cars and ship in car>
load lots. If this determination is
? adhered to by all roads the original
' package stores are here to stay so
long as the courts decide we can sell.
! One of the men I represent told me he
was satisfied with a profit of 25 cents
I on the gallon and would compete with
I the dispensary on that basis before
he would quit." Another suggested
| that even if the liquor could not be
brought in carload lots, Spartanburg
stores would coutinue wide open. The
North Carolina line is but one day's
journey and the whisky could be
hauled in cotton seed bulls in wagons.
; The dealers do not seem to be disconcerted
in the least, and say they
will sell if they have to box each
half pint so long as the dispensary
i runs.

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years was 1
supposed to be incurable. For a great
many doctors pronounce it a local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and be
constantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science
has proved catarrh to be a constitutional
disease, and therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co..
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. It is taken internally
in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful.
It acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system.
They offer one hundred dollars for any
case it fails to cure. Send for circulars
and testimonials. Address.

CARD FROM CHAIRMAN LEWIS, i
No Danger of Disease at the Graded !
scnooi.
To the Patrons of the Yorkville Graded
Schools:
It having been brought to the attention
of the trustees that the presence of certain <
pupils in the schools at this time might
be injurious to the health of the other
pupils, we beg to state that after careful ,
investigation we find that such is not the
case. (
Upon consultation with all of the physicians
of the towu, they are unanimous- '
ly of opinion that there is, at present, no ,
sickness nor disease in the town that
would render it at all hazardous for the I
children to atteud the schools.
The rules of the schools require the im- '
mediate withdrawal of any pupil whose ,
presence might in auy way affect the
health of the other pupils, and we state, I
for the information of the public, that ,
this rule will be strictly and promptly enforced
as soon as the necessity for so do- .
ing may be brought to the attention of
the board. W. \V. Lkwis, s
Chairman Hoard of Trustees.
