The Catawba Bridge. * 1? . u ^ T>_|. I_T;! I Accoruiug IU IUC XVWK am nciaiu the petition introduced in the house bj Representative Epps, asks that th< commissioners of York county be al lowed to expend the sum of $8,00( toward the erection of a bridge ai Sutton's ferry. Sutton's ferry, Th< Herald says, is about one-half a mil< above Harris's ferry, the point thai was selected by a committee of th( county board sometime ago. The Herald also goes on to intimate that il would now be willing to'build a bridge even at Neely's ferry, rather than have no bridge at all. The Kuylcendal Building. Contractor Kellar is busy at work making some important changes in the Kuykendal building. The room now occupied by the telegraph and express office is to be handsomely prepared for Mr. T. W. Speck's jewelry store, and as soon as Mr. Speck gets into it, he proposes to begin the carrying of a larger and finer stock than heretofore. Dr. Cartwright is to have three of the upstairs rooms for his dental office, and the balance of the building, now occupied by the drugstore, will be occupied by Dr. Kuykendal's medical business and the insurance business of Kuykeudal & Propst. Our Mall Facilities. Yorkville is again without an early morning connection with Columbia, and morning papers do not arrive until noon, or thereabouts. The Southern road recently made a change in its schedule whereby the northbound morning train does not arrive at Chester until about half an hour later than * heretofore. The Carolina and Northwestern has not yet seen fit to make a change in its schedule, and as the result Yorkville is knocked out of mail and passenger connections. It is hoped that now, since the Narrow Gauge has filled in its missing link betweeu Hickory and Newton, it can make a change by which this serious iuconvenience to people along the line of road in York county can be remedied. Mr. Jacob A. Rhyne Dead. * Gastonia Gazette, Thursday : One of the oldest aDd best citizens of the county passed away last Saturday morniDg when death claimed Mr, Jacob A. Rhyne. He was in his 90th year, having become 89 years of age on New Year's day. He lived all bis days in the neighborhood where he died, aud was a good man and a good neighbor. As death approached his faith sustained him and sustained him to the end. He was for 72 years a member of the Methodist church, and bore the full confidence of all who knew him. His aged companion preceded him some 16 years ago, and he leaves to mourn his departure two sons, Messrs. Laban and William Rhyne, and five daughters. The funeral services, largely attended, were conducted Sunday afternoon at the home, and the burial took place about 2 o'clock at Shiloh. A good man has finished his course and goue to his reward. THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY. Synopsid of the Proceedings of Iloune and Senate. Up to this writing, the proceedings of the house and senate continue in the even tenor of their way, without seusational developments of any kind. Business is being trausacted with J 1 .. ?,1 ie (1 ecuruui auu ui^aitu, -juu u mnv are to be any big fights this session they will take place later on. There was some dispute in the house last Tuesday on a bill by Mr. Bleuse to provide that auditors and treasurers be elected by the people instead of being appointed by the governor; also thai school trustees be elected by popular vote; also that the superintendent ot the penitentiary be made an elective office. Considerable opposition developed to all three propositions, and the bill was finally killed. Mr. Bacot, of Charleston, tried to get through a bill to appropriate the sum of $500 for the purchase of a sword to be presented to Lieutenant Victor Blue, in recognition of bis heroism in the Spauish war. The opposition held that while the people of South Carolina were appreciative of Lieutenant Blue's gallantry, etc., the general assembly could not, iu view of the impoverished eoudition of the taxpayers, be justified iu makiug such an appropriation for such a purpose. An amendment to make the amount $100 was voted down. There was an interesting discussiou of a bill by Mr Jeremiah Smith, providing that the privilege tax lutid, which now goes to Clemson, should instead be appropriated for the use'of the various high schools throughout the state. The principal argument against the proposition \va.s that there would theu have to be a direct tax for Clemson. The bill, of course, was killed. It has been the practice in some ol the counties for sheriffs, iusleud of collecting delinquent taxes from certain favored individuals, to pigeonhole * the executions and neglect to make return of them. The house has decided to do what it can to put a stop '.<1 this kind of busiuess, aud has passed the following to a third reading : "Section 353. The sheriffs in tlit several couulies in the stale, in making levies and sales, in making returns, and in paying over money collected uuder tax warrants and executions placed in their hands by county treasurers, shall be subject to the direction aud under the control of the cornp troller general of the state, as they are i now in like manner to plaintiffs in i execution, and the comptroller general is hereby invested with all the rights ' and privileges of a plaintiff in execui tion to invoke and obtain the aid of the court to compel refractory sheriffs 1 to discharge their duties in the en. forcement of tax executions ; and it is ; hereby made the duty of the said sherj iffs, respectively, to make return of all tax executions to the treasurer of their respective counties within 90 days after the issue thereof, designating > such as may be nulla bona and such as j may have been collected by distress or ; otherwise, and within tbe same time to . pay over to the said treasurer all taxes j and penalties collected by them ; and the several county treasurers shall, at 1 the third term of the circuit court in 5 each year for their respective counties, i deliver to the foreman of the grand t, jury a complete list of all tax execu; tions delivered to the sheriff for col[ lection aud which have not been col' lected ; and tbe grand jury shall ex amine the said list and present the sheriff for any default or neglect in s performance of bis duties relative to the enforcement of such executions, and in case any sheriff shall make default in paying over within the time aforesaid any moneys collected ou said executions, it shall be the duty of the county treasurer, and he is hereby required, immediately to bring suit against such defaulting sheriff in any court of competent jurisdiction, in whieh suit such sheriff shall be liable in treble the amount for which he has defaulted ; and in case of any loss resulting by reason of the county treasurer to perform the duties herein set forth, such treasurer shall be liable therefor." Mr. Hydrick, of Spartanburg, wants to put an end to the tricky ways of most life insurance companies, and for tbe further protection of the confidiug public, has introduced tbe following: Section 1. That any person, firm, corporation or association doing a life nanpanno hnsinPM in Lhis state on the "legal reserve" plan shall, after three full premiums have been paid, insert in or attach to each policy a written or printed agreement extending to the insured the followiug options: First. To pay to the said insured in cash, within 60 days after demaud, the full legal reserve computed by the experience table of mortality then in use by said company and interest at 4 per cent., less a surrender charge not to exceed 1 per cent, of the amount insured. Second. To loan the insured, his policy being deposited with the company as collateral security, at a rate not exceeding 6 per ceut., an amount equal to the first cash surrender herein before meutioned. Section 2. That all natural premium compauies doing business iu this state shall be required to print at the top of the first page of each contract, in bold, conspicious type, the words: "Premium subject to increase" according to the experience of the company. Section 3. That all assessment companies doing business in this state shall have printed on the first page of its policy, in bold and conspicuous type, the words : "Assessment contract." Section 'i. That any such person, firm, corporation or association violat ing any of the provisions of this act shall be denied the privilege of further doing business in this state, and its license to do business shall be cancelled. Section 5. That the provisions of this bill shall not apply to fraternal orders aw<romia/1 on/1 ahd??q # o/l ii nnn fKo Indira ui^aui6cu auu upuu i>uv ivu^v system. Mr. Dargan, of Darlington, proposes a really siucere attempt, to uphold law and order, especially in regard to the unauthorized taking of human life. Here is the bill : That after the approval of this act, in additiou to the oath required by section 26, article 3, of the constitution, members of the general^assembly, all officers, whether state, couuly or municipal, before they enter upon the duties of their offices, and all members of the bar, before they enter upou the practice of their profession, shall take and subscribe the following: "I do further solemnly swear (or affirm) that I have not, siuce the 1st day of January, iu the ytar of our Lord one thousand eight hundred aud niuety-uine. engaged in auy lynching of any human being, where death ensued therefrom, as accessory before the fact, as principal, or was present aiding, abetting or couuselling the same, aud that I will not so engage in any such lyucbing during the term of office to which I have been elected (or appointed.) So help me God." Mr. Wharton, of Laurens, seeks to break up' the custom.of docking light weight bales of cotton by buyers. The matter was discussed at length with the result that the house finally adopted the following: Sec. 1. That it shall be uulawful for any cotton buyer to refuse to accept u.. i~ r*.... i u u. auy uHieui uuuuu, aitcr ue uus uuugut the sauie by sample thereof, weighing over 300 pounds, provided same agrees iu quality with sample bought, and any such buyer who docks or deducts any amount from the purchase price of auy such bale of cottou, or attempts to dock or deduct any amount from the purchase price of such bale of cotton, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and, upon conviction before any court of competent jurisdiction, shall he tiued iu the sum of not tpore than $100 uor less than $20. Senator Graydon, of Abbeville, sought, ou Wednesday, to get through a measure providing for the submission of a constitutional amendment to repeal the paragraph that provides for the changing of county lines. Senator Graydon said that there was no end to the trouble that this paragraph is giving, for the reason that it almost allows any inun who is dissatisfied with one county, to move his plantation into auother county. The senate refused to submit the mutter to the people for amendmeut. SCOUGIXS-LUCAS. A Happy .Marriage at Warren oil Last TheKilay. Corresjiondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. Wakkkx, January It).?After many i futile eH'orts in dillerent parts of this community, "Cupid," has ensnared i another one of our "Mack Jack" girls. . Last Tuesday, at 11 o'clock a. in.. Mr. R. H. Lucas, of DuPont, Ga., and Miss Mollie Scoggins, daughter of Mr. T. W. Scoggins, of this place, were united in the holy bonds of matrimony. The ceremony was performed at the home of the bride by the Rev. J. Barr Harris; It was a very quiet affair. Just a few of the bride's near relatives witnessed the ceremony. In the afternoon others called in to see the happy couple and offer their congratulations. About midnight, Mr. and Mrs. Lucas boarded the train at Warren for DuPont, Ga., which will be their future home. A large number of relatives and friends weut with and met them at Warren to bid them good bye. They leave Warren with the love and good wishes of the whole community. For the benefit of our lady readers, we will say that the bride was married in a gray costume, trimmed with white satin aud white ribbon. When she boarded the train she was attired in a black traveling dress trimmed with purple silk aud black jet. S. J. k. MOKE COMPLICATIONS. United Slates and Germany Quarreling Over Samoa. A sensational dispatch comes from Aukland, New Zealand, under date of January 18. It relates to affairs in Samoa, where the Americans and Germans had been quarreling for several years, until some time back, when an amicable agreement was reached. The quarrel now, it seems, is over the right to succession to the throne. The Americans and British are backing one candidate and the Germans the other. Chief Justice Chambers of the supreme court, which was instituted by general treaty agreement, is an American. The treaty provides that his decisions are final, and this makes the attitude of the Germans all the more aggravating. The dispatch which brings the ' news of trouble is as follows : Samoau advices just received here /> / r . m L ~ _ say mat *jniei justice cuuuiurri*, uu December 31, declared Malietoa Tan us to have been elected king, in succession to the late King Malietoa. The chief justice also announced that Tainasese bad been elected vice kiug. Chief Mataafa was disqualified. The consuls of the United States and Great Britain and the captains of the German warship Falke, and the British warship Porpoise, met the German consul, who refused to recognize Malietoa Tanus, and declined to co-operate in the dispersal of the Samoans, who, thereupon, assembled in large numbers ut Mulinu, armed themselves and surrounded the municipality. Malietoa Tanus aud Tamasese mustered about 2,000 men, well armed, but supplied with defective ammunition. The British and Americau consuls endeavored to avert hostilities ; but they commenced on January 1. Malietoa Tanus and Tamasese fought bravely ; but 500 of their followers were captured. Then, disheartened and outnumbered, the two chiefs sought refuge on the British warship, and their followers sought protection uuder the guns of the Porpoise. Mataafa's loss was 61 killed and wounded, and Malietoa Tauus lost 12 men killed aud wounded. The foreign residents were placed under the protection of a detachment of men belonging to the British ship, and Chief Justice Chambers and his family went on board of her. The followers of Mataafa looted and burned Apia, destroying the plantations, and pillaged considerably iu the country. The consuls later decided to recog nize Mataafa and his chiefs as a provisional government pending the receipts of lustructions'from the powers. Afterward Dr. Dafuel and the German consul closed the supreme court, declaring that the power was vested in tbem. The British and American consuls then appealed to the captaiu of the British war ship Porpoise, who landed a force of blue .jackets, und Chief Justice Chambers, under their guard, took his seat. The British and Americau flags were hoisted over Chambers's house and the courthouse. Mataafa held aloft from the developments. The provisional goverument w rote seize Malietoa and take Tamase8t. off Porpoise by force if necessary, deprive them of their titles and desert tbem. Chambers is residiug on the Porpoise. The British and American cousuls have protested against any infringement of the Berlin treaty. British residents have taken refuge in their cousulate, and the Ameiicnu residents have taken refuge in the mission. An American warship is urgently needed here. LOOKING FOR TROUBLE. The navy department has prepared orders for the cruiser Philadelphia to proceed to Samoa at once to represent the Uuited States' interests there, says a Washington dispatch of Thursday. The Philadelphia is due at Sau Diego next Sunday from Acapulco. Meauwhile if any vessel more quickly available ran lie found. One of DeWCV's v 7 ? v fleet, for instauce, it will be ordered a( once to Samoa to answer the urgent appeal of the United States consul there. ] The commander of the Philadelphia will act in conformity with the instruc lions of the United States consul so far as those instructions are in line with the treaty of Berlin, which the Uuited States contends must be literally enforced until amended. It would take the Philadelphia about 16 days to make the run -from San Diego to Apia, touching at Honolulu for coal. One resource open to the navy department is to send the Oregon to Samoa. She left Callao on the 11th instant and should reuch Honolulu about the 6th of February, where she cau be intercepted with orders sent by the dispatch boat Iroquois, now at Sau Francisco. The big battleship Iowa is due at San Francisco just about the same date that the Oregon is due at Honolulu, so that the Pacific coast will not be left entirely without naval force. While the atteutiou of the public has of late been drawn from the Sainoan islands to other more important subjects, it appears that interesting events have been suceeding one another with rapid rapidity iu the islands. It has been realized for a long time past ttoat there was need for a modification of the terms of the t-ri partite treaty by which we assume joint guar dianship with EDgland and Germany ; but up to ibis point it has not been possible to get all three of the powers to agree upon auy one project. Negotiations have been on foot for some time in relation to the succession to the Samoan throne, and it is calculated to lead to ill feeling at least in that German officials should resort to a coup d'etat al this stage of the negotiations. It is believed that much of the responsibility for this arbitrary action must rest upon Raffel, the German president of the municipal council at ? i LI j_ .. c Apia, wIIuse uuumcauujo atmuue ui late had led to remonstrance on the part of the other powers. There has been au understanding that he was to be removed to another scene of activity, and the supposition iH that, getting wind of this intention, he has precipitated a crisis before his government could reach him with orders. Aukland is 1,800 miles distant and this lack of communication makes the situation more perilous than it would be otherwise. The United States, Great Britain and Germany, it is believed, could easily reach a satisfactory solution of the crisis in Samoa if they could deal with the subject themselves in the usual course ; but there is some fear of ill-considered action on the part of some of the agents of these governments in Samoa before they can receive instructions from their governments. The interests of the United States are in the hands of Mr. Lloyd Osborn, in whose discretion the state department reposes great confidence. AT THE CHURCHES. bapti8t. Sunday Services.?YORKVILLE.?

It is anticipated that there will be an unusually large attendance of veterans from all the Southern states at this reunion. The people of Charleston realize the magnitude of the undertaking to entertain such a large body of veterans, and are exerting themselves to make the approaching meeting a decided success. The citizens of the state outside of Charleston, should feel a laudable pride in cooperating with our fellow citizens of Charleston in making the approaching entertainment of the veterans creditable to the state. I have been reauested by the Executive committee, charged with arranging for the entertainment of the veterans, to extend a cordial invitation to the veterans and citizens of York county to attend the approaching reunion, and to state that contributions by the citizens, either in money or supplies, will be acceptable, and will be devoted to the maintenance of such veterans attending said reunion as may need such assistance. A similar invitation has been extended to each county in the state. It has been ascertained that such assistance was necessary at former reunions. The following persons have been selected and requested to invite and receive voluntary contributions, either in money or supplies, in the way of food, in their respective townships, to be devoted to the comfortable maintenance whilst in Charleston, of all the veterans whose limited circumstances may require such assistance : King's Mountain?W.

The hungry man dreams of banquets; the thirsty man of fountains and roaring streams; the poor of heaps of hidden gold." The poor dyspeptic has neither hunger nor thirst, and cares nothing for the riches of earth. His nights are restless and wretched, and his days full of misery and evil forebodings. Take Anti-Ferment, "And your nights shall be filled with gladness. And the cares that Infest the day Shall fold their tents like the Arabs, And as silently steal away." HOW MUCH FOR THE HORSE f WE don't suppose that there is any horse or mule of so little value that the owner would not be willing to spend 50 cents to have it cured of colic. We are so certain that a 50 cents bottle of Campbell's Anti-Ferment will cure any case of colic of horses or mules, that we agree to refund the money in every case in which it fails, provided the directions we give for its administration are faithfully followed. It would pay any man to keep a bottle for this purpose alone. FOR SALE BY ALL DRUGGISTS. WHEN IN DOUBT, COME TO US. Never take unnecessary chances if you doyiot want to suffer a loss.
