to both, and Magistrate Plaxico sent both to Yorkville. The sentence of Childers was $14 fine or 30 days ou the cbaingang; and that of Feemster $7.50 fine or 15 days ou the cbaingang. Friends of Cbilk dera got up the money with wbfch to pay his fine, and on Wednesday he was released from custody. Feemster I was sent to the cbaingang to serve out bis segtence ou tbe road. The uuderstaodiog ou Wednesday was that tbe Bullock's Creek people ? are not yet through with Childers. They are thoroughly sick and tired of his presence in the community, and they want to get rid of him. There are several other charges agaiost him, and it is probable that these will be pushed one after tbe oiher until he is ready to move. THE BLIND TIGERS. Constable Scoggins has been about Yorkville for several days this week looking after his duties relating to tbe enforcement of tbe dispensary law. Tbe reporter bad a talk with him with regard to the status of matters generally. While it is a fact that there is still a great deal of blind tiger whisky sold in and around Yorkville, and while it is a fact also that with. sufficent perseverence, any individual who has the cash can raise a pint of blind tiger liquor upon almost any occasion, it is also a fact that tbe traffic is not nearly so extensive as it was a few years back. This condition is owing partly to the fact that the demand is less than it U9ed to be?there being fewer thirsty people?and partly to the fact that the tigers have learned to be more cautious. The reporter is not to be un derstood as- saying that the illicit whisky traffic has been entirely suppressed, nor that there are not still to be found occasional instances of excessive drinking; but it is a fact that the improvement in the observance of the law is quite noticeable. Constable Scoggins gets pretty general credit for being a very efficient officer?the most efficient probably who has ever been located in this county. He has help about Yorkville, good ^ help ; but that does not detract in the least from bis efficiency. In conversation with the reporter, he said : "It used to be the' habit of the blind tigers to go up to the still bouse during the day and return shortly after nightfall. I began watching the road for M them until I broke the habit up, and thpv phanired their schedule 80 as to briug them back into Yorkville duriug the early hours of the morning. I met this change also, and now they arrange it so as to make the entire trip in the daytime?that is, those who . make it a business to briug their liquor r through the country. I have been watching these until I have gotten pretty nearly all the tigers spotted, and some of them have reason to be scared." "But it is not only the highways ^ that have to be watched. One of the ? most constant and regular sources of supply is the express offices. It is more difficult to spot a tiger here than on the road. Of course, there is no doubt about the fact that about 75 per cent of the liquor that comes here by express is for tiger purposes ; but the tigers are cautious. For iuslance, two or three of them will get together and make an order for several gallons iu the name of one. Then, after awhile, they will make another order in the name of another, and then make uew combinations and continue * 1 ^ * AtiAiiirh t A QI1U IOC pruucss. li to *raojr cuvugu vw peet what liquor is for tiger purposes and what is for personal use; hut the difficulty comes in proving it. Gut this will come after awhile. I don't mind telling you what I have told already, but there are somethings you know that are better when one keeps them to himself." At the same rate of progress that has been made during the past three or four years, in three or four years more, Yorkville will iudeed he a pretty dry town. LOCAL LACONICS. He Meant "Money." "There is no use in talking about it," remarked a well-known citizen a fewdays ago, "the only material with which substantial roads can be built in this country is 'rocks.' " Getting Brighter. There have been a few sunshiny days this week that have helped to indicate that business is not entirely dead. The past six weeks, however, have been very tryiug generally. Direct With Gastonla. Gazette : The Gastonia Telephone [ ^ company completed connections yesterday with Yorkville, having now a direct line with no other 'phones on it. By next week the company will he prepared to give its patrons facilities for private conversations. Fixed Up ilaudgoiueiy. Dr. Cartwright has gotten his dental office fixed up in handsome style now. His quarters consist of three rooms, viz.: Operating room, laboratory and waiting parlor. "I have always told you," remarked the doctor to the reporter on Wednesday, "that I would fix myself up right if I ever got the room." Machinery Being Placed. Mr. T. B. McClain continues to receive shipments of cottou mill machinery every few days, aud is busy getting it in position. He has already completed arrangements for the installation of bis electric light plant. The town council has not seen its way clear to make any contract for lighting the town by electricity ; but Mr. Mc t Clain has not been allowing himself to t be worried by little matters like that, s Rather Active Old Age. I The reporter was told a few days g ago of an old lady down in Bullock's t Creek township?Mrs. Jane Miller? c who is more than 80 years of age, and g who during the past few years has I pieced for her grand children 30 quilts, c Fifteen of the quilts were made from 8 pieces no larger than the ball of her i thumb. The work is done with neatness and artistic taste. 1 Should Have Called on the Ladies. 8 An old Confederate who is not satis- r fied with the progress that has been a made so far in the collection of con- f tributions in behalf of the Confederate i reunion in Charleston, claims that \ Judge Witberspoon made a mistake in s calling upon the men for help in the t matter. He thinks that the judge t should have called upon the ladies, for J whenever a duty of this or any other I kind is devolved upon the ladies, they r always acquit themselves creditably. ? Prices In 1845. U Mr. H. H. Beard has banded the re- j porter an old uccount of the late James |{ Jefferys against "Doctor McClurkeu," g and which contains the follow item : s "June 15, 1845. To 40 pounds of beef ^ at 3 cents, $1.20." The reporter's first ^ impression was that the beef must have j been "by the quarter;" but upon in- g quiry of men who can remember back j to those days, it develops that from 2J ^ to 3J cents was the regular price for ^ beef at retail. 0 Debate at Gold Hill. j There is to be a public debate at Gold Hill academy, in Fort Mill town- j ship, on next Friday uight. The ques- : tion is, "Resolved, That we should have a compulsory school law." Affirmative?D. V. Epps, W. M. Crook, David Lindsay, C. T. Crook. Nega- i live?A. C. Faris, W. E. Smith, B. M. Faris. The declaimers of the occasion will be Moon Coltharp, Crook 1 Faris, John Boyd and Joel Epps. f Marshals?Edward Bailes, Star Kimbrell and J. Coltharp. \ The Chaloeang In Bethel. ? The chaingang is now up in Bethel township, the prisoners beiug quarter- c ed in an old house about a mile to the 1 east of Clay Hill. Superintendent 1 Culp said, on Weduesday, that the location was good and the quarters quite 8 comfortable. There is some work to c be done on the approaches to Beaver 1 Dam creek, on the Charlotte road, J aud also at Plaxico's mill. It is tin- j derstood that the plant will continue t to operate in Bethel township, and j probably in this particnlar section, for j not less than three months. The Farmen' Mutual. It will be of interest to a great many J people in York county to know that the following is among the acts that * were passed and ratified by the recent [ general assembly : "An act to amend t sections 3, 4, and 5 of an act entitled t 'An act to incorporate the Farmers' r Mutual Insurance company, of York county, S. C.,' approved 21st December, 1894, to empower said company j to make assessments in anticipation of a losses and increasing the power of the F board of directors. ^ a Prospecting: Potato Bugs. Gastonia Gazette : We fear that Mr. ? Oliver Davis's remedy of hangiug a s thermometer on the clothes line to kill a out the potato bugs will fail this year, n In times past we have read of the for- v warduess of these voracious pests iu 11 sitting on the clods and watching for 1 the potatoes to come up ; but this year ' they are reported to be ahead of that. ? A gentleman told us in Dallas, Mou- e day, that when he went to the store to I get his seed potatoes the bugs were 1 there looking over the merchaul's j; books to see who had bought. Agent at Gastonia. \ The Gazette: "Who-will be your t new agent at Gastonia ?'' asked The t Gazette Monday night of President 1 Harper, of tlie Carolina aud North- c Western. "Have you made the selectionyet?" "No," answered the presi- t dent readily, "we have doue nothiug i at all in the matter." "Is it likely that you will get an outside mau or ( promote one now with you ?" we ask- 1 ed. "We prefer to promote one of our " own men, whenever we can make it t suitable to do so." The bad weather t has greatly retarded their work ; but t the company hopes to get iuto its new 1 depot by the opening of spring. The Catawba Mine. King's Mountain Reformer: This viciuity will regret to learn that all { the pumps at the Catawba mine have < been drawn and the active work shut i down. We are informed that for some- t time now, as soon as the weather per- ( units, there will be some prospecting ' done with a diamoud drill at or near \ the old Richardson shaft, and we hope ( the company will be successful in fiud- ] ing a sufficiency of ore to justify a re- ' turu to active operations. Little as j some people may thiuk of it, this shut- ^ off will inconvenience a goodly num- c her of hauds and make it hard for ] them to earn their daily bread. ( The Actual FactH. I The Enquirer has heard during i the past few days several alarming re- 1 ports about the condition of the Char- 1 lotteroad. One of them was to the effect that as the result of the receut snow, | the clay bed bad become saturated with water and rendered soft and < slushy, aud that the macadam work was cutting through under heavy wagons. We have had no opportunity to make a personal investigation ; but have made careful inquiries of reponsihie parties, and it seems that the situation just described is very much exaggerated. There has been some cutting hrough, or almost through, the macidam in a few spots; but this damige is not at all general. Further- : nore there has as yet been no damr tge that cannot be easily repaired. If he matter is' neglected, of course, the lamage will increase ; but the undertanding on Thursday was that Mr. il. L. Thomasson was to at once call >ut the road bands and make all necesary repairs. tog Stealing. , There are a great many people who i ook upon dog stealing as not much of l crime. Of course, the theft of a log involves as much moral depravity is the theft of a dollar?the ouly difference is that the'dog thief runs less isk of detection. Very ofieu an advertisement is the ouly means by vhich the owner of a stolen dog can tope to recover the animal, aDd even his does not always prove successful. I month or two ago Mr. James L. ( doss advertised a lost dog. He heard i lothing uutil several weeks afterward, md then he learned positively that the mimal was being held by parties in , Tort Mill township in the hope of a arge reward. Sometime back be* had ;otten evidence that was pretty uearly ' uflicient to enable him to make trou- ( >Ie for the thief. The dog advertised , iy Mr. Hosea Norman, last Wedneslay, was not supposed to have been tolen. He had gotton it from Shelby, if. C., and bis theory was that it bad trobably goue back home. He hoped, >y means of the advertisement, to vertake and protect it on the road. , Jut this dog might also have been i tolen just like that of Mr. Moss, aud j logs are often being stolen iu this secion?iu the hope of a reward. MOKE MEN FOR OTIS. 'he Situation In Manila Grows Still More Serious. The war department has arrauged o dispatch further reinforcemeuts to General Otis at Manila, says a Wash- \ ug dispatch of Thursday afternoon. J The regiments selected are the Ninth nfantry, now at New York, and the sixth infantry, at San Antonio, Texas. Both these regiments will go by way if San Francisco. It is expected that he transports taking them will be able o leave by March 15. By that date General Otis will have eceived all the reinforcements now J ifloat and bound for Manila save those >u the Sheridan, which sailed from ; STew York last Sunday. This will give urn 6,000 more troops, made up of the Jnited States army; regulars tried iu ndian service and most of them inured o the Cubau climate iu its worst as>ects, having participated iu the cam)aigns there during the last wet season. Every report that comes to the war ; lepartment goes to convince the offi- ; :ials that an offensive campaign must ! ?e immediately assumed in the Philip- 1 dues. This is no longer a matter of ' ihoice, but of necessity against which i he officials say sentimental considera- i ions caunot stand. In their opinion he lives and health of American troops tow in the neighborhood of Manila : lepend upon the initiation of such a campaign. General Otis's report of a big fire iu tlauila yesterday and last night, while igreeing closely with the press dismtches, makes mention of a rather ormidable demonstration by the iusur- , ;eants near Caloocan, the scene of ome of the heaviest fighting succeed- ' ng the first engagement with the in- j urgents on the 15th. This is taken j is an indication that the rebels have 1 lot yet been thoroughly impressed ! vith the strength of the American , irms. A disquieting feature noted in i he press reports is the presence of 1 mall bodies of armed insurgents ' vithin the American outposts, possibly .n evidence that our lines are too far xtended and too thin around Manila, t is realized that it will be necessary o sweep the country of all hostile dements. The task will be difficult lecause because of the resemblauce of he Filipinos to one another, which vould make it hard to distinguish be- " ween a non-combatant aud an out and ?ut rebel. Some time there is no such lisliuclion, the one resolving iulo the j >ther at short notice, for it is patent , low that tbe Filipinos caunol be count- 1 id upon to observe the rules of war ' ind must be fought on the same basis , is Indians. < A most serious problem confronts ? 5eneral Otis in tbe protection of Ma- J lila and tbe suburban towns from fire, lot only because of the treacherous i ibaracter of the rebel Filipinos ; but j ilso because outside of the business jstablishments the houses are built of he flimsiest bamboo buug with mating screens. n Stonewall Cemetery. Winchester dispatch to the Baltinore Sun : A handsome memorial is { ,o be erected to the memory of the south Carolina dead interred in Stone i vail cemetery, this city.

Probate Judge of York county at February 25 s 2t J 222 Years For Its Value ! THE recent legislature, iu a grand-stand play to the "peanut gallery," assumed ' to believe, and would have the galleryites j believe with them, that the tire insurance jn' companies doing business throughout the ] world are one gigantic trust, to extort jjU money from "their" constituents without in any way giving value to those who patronize them. It is recognized by lire J0] insurance companies that the private i(), dwelling hasn't as much physical risk tw about it as has a cotton gin. on h uomcued dwelling in Yorkville, for instance, the cost of insurance on $1,000 risk for one year is $7.50; for three years $15.00, and for live-year policies you get this protection Ol lor $22.5U, or $4.50 per annum for $1,000 protection, and it is possible for this risk to become a claim any and every day during the life of a policy; aud so it will T be seen that at less thau U cents a day an I. insurance company exposes $1,000 of its en own money to risk for your protection. C( for the term of eighteen hundred and th twenty-five days at a total cost of $22.50! Tl Is that extortion? Is that monopoly? R Would you carry your neighbor's insurance at ihat price? Would any member pe of the legislature do it? It would require lh about 222 j ears for the company to col- ce lect $1,000 from the assured! It has been intimated that some times individuals cau tell when they will have a "fire; the ? companies never can. In conclusion I will say sensible people will always in- T sure their property, and as a rule they X know what quality to buy. ar L. GEO.
