oar way," he said. "It is not only a waste of time; bat also a waste of much valuable man are. We cut our corn down, stack it in the fields until it is cured, and then put it in our barns. .After that we feed it to the stock, stalk, blades and all. A considerable portion of the stalk is eaten, and that which Is not eaten, is trampled in the stalls and barnyards until it helps make the finest fertilizer that can .be applied to land. Stripped of the fodder and left in the fields, cornstalks become valueless for manure, and make occasion for more work in order to get rid of tbom." The reporter thinks that in the above there are some suggestions that may be of value to the farmers of .this section. It is fair to Mr. McMillan, however, to say that in the conversation be war not assuming to offer sug.gestious to anybody. The whole matter came out in a purely private "conversation, and Mr. McMillan had no reason to suppose that anything he said would find its way into print. . XsA MESSAGE FltOM THE PAST. In overhauling the plunder in an outhouse, a few days ago, on the "Jefferys" property, recently purchased by Mr. B. N. Moore, he disoovered an interesting relic of the early \ history of Yorkville, in the shape of a bound copy of the first volume of the "Pioneer, and Yorkville Advertiser," I the first newspaper published in Yorkville, and whieh is probably the only one of a similar kind in existence. Besides this, The Pioneer was one amongst the first newspapers published in South Carolina outside of Charleston and Columbia. The publisher and editor of The Pioneer was Patrick Carey, an Irishman by birth, who came to Yorkville from either Ohio or Tennessee, early in the twenties. In the initial number of The Pioneer, be states that "the principal object in the establishment of this printing offioe was the publication of books, pamphlets, etc.; but from the solicitation of many Mends, the editor has consented, if a sufficient number of snbecrihers to justify can be obtained, to issue a weekly paper," Atfl. The first number of Hie Pioneer was issued on Saturday,' August 16, 1823, at "$8 per annum, payable in advance, or $8.60 in three months." It consists of four pages, each 10 inches in width and 16} inches in length, four columns to the page. The greater part of the type used was pica, which is one-fourth .larger in size than that now in use for the reading matter of The Enquibeb. The publication of The Pioneer was __ Jvmtlni.ftd fnr agporal yfrfrro ?. ffft 1a??n from tradition; but in oonseqoenoTfif the absence. o? sufficient postal facilities, sparcity of population, the bibulous tendencies of the editor and other causes, the publication was discontinued. The senior publisher of The Enquibeb remembers Patrick Carey very well, as he did not leave this section until the year 1845, when he returned to Tennessee. He has also seen before the bound volume 01 ine riooe?r; but it was more than 45 years ago that he saw it last. It was at that time the property of Carey; but it eventually came into the possession of the . late James Jefferys, in whose custody it evidently remained until the old gentleman's death. With the permission of W. W. Lewis, Esq., administrator, one day last summer, careful search of the Jefferys house was made . from cellar to garret, by a member of 1 The Enquirer staff for the old book, 1 but without result; and it was then * concluded that it must have beejf 1 burned in tbe fire in the early 70's 1 which destroyed Mr. Jeflery's former 1 home. The finding of the old file by Mr. Moore as stated above, has come as an agreeable surprise; aud a still more pleasant feature of tbe circumstance is the fact, that without any previous 1 knowledge of the incidents just rela- ' ted, he promptly decided to present 1 this souvenir of the past of Yorkvilje, ' to tbe senior publisher of Tbe Enquir- 1 es. Hereafter the old Pioneer will ' be kept in the fireproof vault of (be * office, reasonably safe from fire and ' other dangers, and any person ttho 1 desires to examine it, for any purpcse, ' will be welcome to do so. { 1 K LOCAL LACONICS. I Price of Cotton. f There has been but little change in ( the price of cotton since tbe last quo- ( tations. The reporter is instructed to ( quote tbe Yorkville market today at ( from 5} to 5}. There is but little of ( 5} kind, however, for sale. Emancipation Day. > , The Negroes celebrated Emancipation day last Monday as usual, with a procession and other festivities in Yorkville. On account of the ani versity falling on Sunday, the celebration exercises were postponed until Monday. There was also a special celebration in Clover. / Hanging Day.

The ' condemned Negroes continue to sing 1 and pray. Frank Castles still repre- 1 sents that be is ready to go, while 1 Amzi Dunovant continues uncertain. ( Matter of Imagination. In connection with the murder of , old Sam Simril, a story gaioed curren- | cy to the effect that the three Negroes , who did the killing were trying to i .1 | I represent themselves as dispensary constables. Magistrate Anderson, of Ebeneser township, who thoroughly investigated jll the facts in the case, said to the reporter on Monday that there is no troth in this story. The Jasper KiSes.

An incident deserving of especialcomment and recommendation, was the consideration of the ladies occupying the ressrved seats. They removed their bats in order that others less favorably situated might see what was going ou. The minstrels went from Yorkville to Bo<jk Hill. HUt a Good Offloer. > I* Ii is generally conceded by those who are most familiar with the subject, that of all the county offices, the most Jifficult one to fill with the least amount of friction is superintendent if education. The clerical duties are oot especially difficult. Almost anybody, with a good common school edtcation, ought to be able to perform them satisfactorily. But the trouble irises out of the superintendent's relations with trustees, patrons and teachers of schools. It is a faot that the people of York county give more attention to their public schools than to iny other public institutions. The schools appeal more directly to the s especial interest of each individual, and, as the result, duriDg tbe course or a year, th'ere arise in every district . differences of opinion as to tbe best course to be pursued in various matters. Many of these differences have J to be settled by the superintendent of ' education to tbe best of the ability of 1 that official. Often it is impossible to ' lettle these differences to the satisfac- , lion of all concerned, and just as often j tbe superintendent is in danger of get- < ling himself in hot water. It makes ao difference which way he goes the j water is boiling. There is a strong , temptation to resort to expediency; ( jut the good official knows that bis anly safety is in the right. Mr. Sbur- I ley has had many of these difficulties to settle, and although he has more than once gotten himself in hot water, | those who have watched bis course j closely, are generally agreed that he always tried to do his duty, and though i he may have made some mistakes; bis i iuteniious were always right. They i believe he can retire from bis four < years' of faithful service in the con- I jciouBness that he has done his duty.

The form of transfer was Ample, consisting only of an exchange of speeches in the salon of the palace, the hauling down of Spanish flags and the hoisting of American flags over the public buildings and fortresses. Major General John R. Brooke, the new governor of Cuba, proceeded to the palace at about 11 o'clock. He was followed by the American and Cuban generals. These came together, each carriage containing an American and a Cuban. As they passed along the streets the Spanish troops presented arms. After they had entered the salon of the palace, Captain General Costellanos came in with the members of bis staff and there was an exchange of greetings. The Spanish generals shook bands also with the Cuban generals, and each bad something courteous to aay. Then followed the ceremony of each of the Spanish officials turning over their respective commands, etc., to General Brooke, who committed them to the different Americans that bad been selected for tbe various positions. After tbe ceremonies at tbe palace, there was a monster parade through tbe streets of Havana, participated in by tbe American troops, followed by thousands of Cubans. -A remarkable incident of tbe parade occurred when tbe last company in tbe procession, the One Hundred and Sixty-first Indiana, passed through Central park. With one accord, each member of the company drew from under bis coat a small Cuban flag and waved it over bis head. Tbe Cubans went nearly wild with excitement, and General Lee sent Colonel CurtiB Guild to see what the cbeeriDg was about. Colonel Guild found it necessary to put the Indiana company under arrest. Except the incident, related, the ceremonies passed off quietly, and although the Cubans appear to be very apprehensive as to the future intentions of the United States government, no immediate change in the situation is expected. DEWEY FOB PRESIDENT. Henry Watttfrson Thinks He Sees Signs ol a. New Deal. Henry Watterson, in a leading editorial last Saturday morning, in the Louisville Courier-Journal, dealing with the Democratic prospect&for the new year, nomiuates Admiral Dewey for president and Fitzhugh Lee for vice president. In part, he says: "To come down to hard, logical facts, old horse sense Bitting in the rocker?the issue of free silver being relegated to the limbo of busted shades, the tariff issue peacefully reposing upon the shelf where > ' - J?1-S-.? 1! l.ft J? the ueveiana aamiaisvrauuu wiv ii> mi wait for free trade under .new conditions?the season of famine ended and the season of plenty arrived-?wrbat are the Democrats to do for a national platform and ticket ? "There is but one thing for them to do. The voters have about made op their minds that party pledges are fabricated chiefly to be broken. Let the Democrats, hanking on their circumstances, put up a ticket with a platform ; let them nominate candidates as president and vice president who are a platform in themselves; and, if they can indnce the great adiniral and the gallant general to accept, here is the card to win with : ~ "For president, George Dewey, of Vermont. "For vice president, Fitzbugh Lee, of Virginia. Platform?The stars and stripes. God bless tbem. "Even now the Republican leaders who rarely fail to take time by the forelock and who never let go their grip upon the shore line, are planning to make their campaign of 1900 on the broad principle of national unification and expansion. They are not going to handicap themselves with any platform rubbish. High tariff is no longer wanted by the manufacturers for whom it was invented. The bloody shirt, having served its tarn has gone to the old clothes basket. The. president knows hfs bnsiness. At the opportune moment we shall see William McKinley and Joseph Wheeler march down to the footlights, hand in hand, the flag above them?beneath them, emblazoned on a strip of red, white and blue, 'The land we love from end to end' or words to that effect, and then what are the Democrats going to do about it ? How are they going to meet it ? "Their only hope is for a new shuffle, cut and deal of the political pastehoards. Every card in the greasy pack they have been playing with has been thumbed, crimped and dogeared to death. Every card is a marked card. They might as well play with bands spread upon the table, face up, as to hope to win with such cards. But if they can Tfcnd the fools to the rear and get their level beaded men together, it is not too late for them to I .L- * J-.1? e lay IDG iouuuatiuu iur a uiuipaigu uo?ing at least some tangible chance of Buccess before it." , AT THE CHURCHES.
