very shrewd in political matters, there I
is reasou to believe that he starts out 1
with a tremendous advantage over his 1
Mrponents. This race may, or may 1
not, fetjuire a second primary. We (
think it probable that this issue will <
be settled in the first election. <
With only two candidates?Epton i
and Derham?for comptroller general, !
the issue will have to be settled in the i
first race. In this coutest there will
be lots of politics. It will be remem- |
bered that Ellerbe appointed Epton j
comptroller to succeed Norton. Some i
of Ellerbe's rivals were aggrieved at j
the appointment, and as the result of J
a big fight in the legislature, succeeded 1
in turning Ellerbe down. Now the ]
same fight goes to the people of the i
state, and it will be a matter of inter- j
.i * ^i_ _ i?
est to see wnetner or not tue icgtamiuic ]
nvill be sustained. The York delegation
was solid for Epton. (
To settle the issue between John
Gary Watts, J. W. Floyd and E. M. ,
JBlytbe, for adjutant and inspector
.general will probably require a second
race. Watts, however, no doubt, has
the advantage to start with.
Under the circumstances, we look
ior a second race for the nomination
for superintendent of education. The
candidates are Mayfield, McMahan,
"Brown aod Reid. Unless the campaign
brings out issues of a somewhat
startling character, it will take two
primaries to secure a choice.
The seven candidates for railroad
commisiouer are of nearly equal prominence,
and it would be difficult to
guess who will be in the second race.
And nobody should think of looking
for a finality as the result of the first
primary for congressman from the
Fifth congressional district. The candidates
are T. J. Strait, J. K. Henry,
W. A. Barber, D. E. Finley, VV. P.
Pollock, E. J. Kennedy. The first
four are well known up in this
section. Two of the four, in all probability,
will be in the second race ; but
which two we do not care to venture
a prediction. But nobody is going to
Knot tKn finM in tKn fircf .ronp
Utav bUV UVlVI iu vuv-?**uv aMVVt
And so in couuty .politics. There
are going to be several second races
for county offices.
For instance, there is the office of
auditor. With all the candidates announced,
and considering the strength
of several of them, the idea that any
one should get a majority of the votes
in the first election, is out of the question.
And so also it is likely that there
will be second races for county supervisor
and superintendent of education,
and, possibly, even treasurer. As to
how it will be with the candidates for
the house, it is yet too early to speak ;
but there may be enough of these to
get up a second race also.
So it is pretty clear that notwithstanding
the war and one thing and
. another, we are going to have a pretty
interesting time of it. Some people
who are opposed to too many elections
will feel disposed to go back and
readopt the old plurality plan which
used to prevail in this county. But
that will never do. It was not much
'better than no primary at all. Under

capture almost any office he wanted.
All he had to do was to induce candidates
to come out in sections where
his principal opponents were strongest,
with the purpose of dividing up their
votes, and often he could get a nomitiou
when really he was not the choice
of anything like a majority of his fellow
citizens.

years of age. The interment will take

The first cotton bloom of the season

Public School Teacher*.
Seventy candidates for positions in

answer to the recent advertisement of

About 18 of the whole number were i

in the graded school building. It will
be about ten days before the work of

boys that he can show them how. He

same patch, he gathered 2.] bales of
cotton. Since harvesting the oats he
has sowed peas, and is now looking .

A midnight prowler entered the l
home of Mrs. Betsey Black, at Sharon, i
last Saturday night, and frightened
* the old lady by putting his hands 1
on her face and breast. She raised i
an alarm immediately, and the inves- <
tigatious of Messrs. John Boss, John i
Byers, and J. M. Chambers fastened ;
suspicion on a Negro named Jim
^ Howse. Tracks corresponding with J
those of the Negro were seen lead- <

denied that lie had been in the house.

tn the Undertaking Business.
By reference to the advertisement in
another column, it will be noted that
Mr. T. B. McClain is establishing an
undertaking business, and will carry a
full stock of the goods usually carried
by undertakers. His wareroom is at
the lower part of the town, next to
his store, and if it were necessary to
vouch for Mr. McClain, we would
not hesitate to say that he will, at all
times, have on baud whatever may be
needed in his line, at prices fair alike
to himself apd to those who may have
to be so unfortuuate as to have to purchase.
Going to the War.
The Enquirer had a pleasant visit
on Monday from Mr. Howard Caldwell,
a York county boy, who has just
been graduated from Erskiue college
with the degree of A. B. With the
assistance of several kind friends, but
principally a9 the result of his own
determined efforts, Mr. Caldwell has
succeeded in fighting his way through
the college and is arranging to begin
in dead earnest the still more serious
struggle of life. After a week or two
in this county among friends, it is his
purpose to go to the front as a soldier
of the cross. He has succeeded in
securing a position as a Y. M. C. A.
secretary, under the auspices of the
organization in this state, and will be
attached to the troops of this state,
probably to the Second regiment. He
expects to follow the regiment wherever
it may be ordered, and can be
depended upon to do bis duty. It has
all along been his intention to enter
the ministry, and this work is especially
congenial.
HICKORY GROVE HIGH SCHOOL
Interesting Account of the Closiug Exercises
Last Friday.
Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer.
Hickory Grove, June 21.?One of
the most delightful and enjoyable occasions
in the history of our village,
was the closing exercises of the high
school last Friday. For weeks past
work on the new school building has
been rushed so as to have the hall
ready for these closing exercises, and
the occasion has been the topic of the
town and country for miles around for
several weeks. Promptly at 9 o'clock,
the Blairsville band came in and furnished
music during the entire occasion.
The primary department, which has
been iu charge of Miss Mattie Wilson
during the year, then appeared on the
stage, and one by one these little boys
and girls came forward, and with surprising
ease and elegance of manner,
delivered their speeches and recitations,
much to the delight of their parents,
and especially to their faithful
teachers, who had spent so much time
and patience in training these little
ones.
At the close of these exercises, Rev.
J. H. Thacker delivered a plain, practical
address to the children, giviug
them some sound, wholesome advice.
Representative deLoach was to make
this talk, but was absent because of
sickness.
The crowd then repaired to the
grove, where dinner was served in picnic
style.
After two hours' recess the audience
again gathered in the hall to hear the
closing exercises of the Timrod and
Eu-elpian societies.
M iss Bessie McGill read an essay
that would have done credit to a
college graduate. Then Miss May
Slaughter gave a recitation which was
very much enjoyed. Then songs and
music by the entire society. Then the
young men of the Eu-elpian society
delivered their declamations, and if
any one is so skeptical as to believe
that oratory is a lost art in the south,
they should have been present and
heard these young men declaim.
Then Rev. Mr. Reaves, of Yorkville,
addressed the societies. His address
was eloquent and scholarly, and was
pronounced by the entire audience as
one of the most highly instructive and
appropriate talks they had ever listened
to.
Prof. Slaughter then announced that
the annual concert would take place
at night, and a small admittance fee
would be charged for the benefit of
the new schoolbuildiug.
At an early hour the house was

For more than two hours the audience
was entertained with funny dialogues,
speeches, recitations, music, etc.
The people then went to their homes
feeling that the day had been well
spent and that their children had been
taught during the term by competent,
(aithful teachers. The next term of
the school will open in September
next.
Miss Mattie Wilson will leave for
lier home in Virginia tomorrow, carrying
with her the best wishes of a host
;>f friends and leaving behind an "aching
void" in the hearts of some of our
young men.
Misses Jessie and Minnie Neil, of
Filbert, and Miss Mosely, of Virginia,
were the guests of Miss Mattie Hell

The Channel Not Blocked. a
New York, June 21.?Late advices t
from Santiago indicate that, after all, ^
the Merrimac does not completely bar r
the passage from Santiago harbor, j.
Lieutenant Edward A. Anderson, of v
the Marblehead, went to Caimanera _
under a flag of truce last Tuesday to
deliver a letter written by a captured
Spanish lieutenant. Lieutenant Anderson
was entertained by the captain
of the Spanish gunboat Sandoval, and
in the course of conversation the Spaniard
claimed that there was room n
enough at each end of the Merrimac
for men of war to pass. He laughed
at the destruction of a vessel worth u
$375,0001 in such a foolish attempt.
The Spaniard's story was not fully
believed ; but since a reconnoitering 11
expedition from Admiral Sampson's
fleet has entered the channel aud ^
found that the wreck of the Merrimac 0
lies on the right, leaving room, no doubt,
for the passage of large vessels.
Forty Britishers Drowned.

WHILE WAR
IS RACINC
It is necessary to keep the plow on the
move, and while the drums are beating
and the air is filled with martial music
and the army is organizing for the front,
we should not become so demoralized as
to allow our farms and various businesses
to become disorganized. The soldiers
will fight the war, while we "speed the
plow." Let us prepare our lands with
the same thought and care as the general
and his staff prepares for battle ; let us
wtv an abundant crop of wheat, oats and
pease, together with grasses and clover,
and the fields will bloom in all their
jlory while the martial music of the war
will be drowned with the fairy-like song
>f the birds in the spring, and peace ana
plenty will most likely be our reward.
3UANO AND ACID are as essential to
