The First Yarn.
The first actual yarn was spun in
Mr. McClains "Sutro" mill last Saturday.
It was au experimental run
made with a view to testing some of
the machines ; but was perfectly satisfactory.
It will not be a great while
now, Mr. McClain thinks, before all
the machinery will be in full operation. N

The Virginian-Pilot of last Friday
announced the death, at Henderson, *
N. C., on Thursday, of Mrs. Emily ^
Wallace, widow of the late Daniel (

A large iui wo vi
porter some two weeks ago: "I have r
no idea that I will be able to make
half enough corn to do me." The s
reporter saw this farmer last week and r
he said : "The situation has changed ^
wonderfully since the rain and I now 0
feel pretty sure that I will have as ]j
much corn as will be needed." It t
must not be understood by this that r
the crops are as good as usual; but ?
that they are greatly improved.
Death of D. J. Glenn, Sr. c
News reached The Enquirer, just ^
after the last issue went to press, of fi
the death of Mr. D. J. Glenn, Sr., a t
well-known citizen of the Bethel e
neighborhood. Mr. Glenn's death oc- c
curred at the home of his son, Mr. D. ?

First Suit of Store Clothes. C
Rock Hill Herald: Mr. J. Lowry t
Bowlin, of Bethesda township, is 79 ^
years old, aud during his long life has ?
always worn homespun and homewoven
clothing. This spring, however, r
on account of the fact that his aged c
wife was too feeble to operate the r
loom and make for him the goods for
his accustomed suit, he went to the 1
Roddey Mercantile Co., and made his ?
first purchase of a pair of ready-made j,
pants. We doubt very much if there t
is another of this class of independent c
old men alive in the county today. s
Salesday.
There was quite a crowd of people ?
in Yorkville last Monday, salesday for .
August, a larger crowd, perhaps, than 0
ou any previous salesday since May.
The people generally did not have any
special business to attend to; but came
for the most part because of slack time
at home. The dry goods stores gener- j.
ally did a pretty good business during
the day. There was no disorder on t
the part of the visitors. There was I
some horse-swapping ; but the business n
was not quite so lively as is usual later c
on. I

Charlotte Observer, Saturday : Mark '
Hanna, who was employed in The Ob- *
server building, up to two weeks ago,
is dead. Mark was a Negro about 25
years old, who drifted in some months
ago from Bowling Green, S. C.,and got .
a job because just at that particular }
time a job was waiting for a man like 1
Mark. Two weeks ago, Mark appear- ?
ed at the c'lice "ailing." He said that
a Negro woman with whom he boarded
had given him something to eat (
that made him sick, and insisted that i
he had been hoodooed by her. In all t
eriousness be announced that it was
ill up with him, and that he was going
>ack to Bowling Green to die. Then
te left and the boys in the office paid
>ut little attention to his hoodoo story,
upposing that Mark had only wauted
o get rid of his job, and had faked it
ip for the occasion. Yesterday, howiver,
news came that the Negro had
lied according to programme. He
vent to Bowling Green under the spell
?f the hoodoo and told his folks the
ame story that he told before leaving

charlotte. Then he went to Dea ana
Thursday he died. Mark's friends
dace considerable faith in his story

COMES OUT WARMLY.
Ir. Featherstone Makes Reply to Senator
Tillinan.
Mr. C. C. Featherstone, of Laurens,
las prepared and published a reply to
Senator Tillman's recent statement at
iumter, reproduced by The News and
Courier as follows : "The state had to
boose between prohibition and the
lispensary, and as the Prohibitionists
yere a set of hyprocrites and cowards,
he choice fell on the dispensary.''
After explaining that he feels called
ipon to reply because of the fact that
ie represented the Prohibitionists in
he late campaign, Mr. Featherstone
emarks:
"It will be seen that the senator's
- ?- ? '?:?J u..
tatemeno is coaracwnxeu uy ma uau<?
ecklessness. He deems it a small
aatter to denouuce as cowards and
lypocrites some twenty odd thousand
f the very best people in South Caroina.
People who honestly believe
hat prohibition is right and who are
eady to stand up and fight for their
ouvictions, yet, because they dare to
isagree with Senator Tillman, Ihey
re, without provocation denounced as
owards and hypocrites. Truly we
ave reached a beautiful state of aflirs
when people who dare to live up
o their convictions are to be deuouncd
in such language by one who ocupies
the high and dignified position
f United States senator. Where do
he ministers of the gospel stand aluost
to a man ? They have declared
a favor of prohibition. Because they
id so they are "cowards and hyporites."
What about the thousauds
f Christian people in South Carolina
rho have declared in favor of probibiion
? According to such a high auhority
as Senator Tillman, they are
owards and hypocrites. What about
he great Baptist, Methodist and Presyterian
churches, all of which have
poken out in favor of prohibition ?
?hey are classed by Senator Tillman
s cowards and hypocrites. It needs
io argument to show that the statenent
made by Senator Tillman was
ecklessly made and wholly untrue."
Onniinnitio ATr PVafhprstone savs
he prohibitionists have never made
ny fight agaiust Senator Tillman ;
ut they may take occasion to show
iim that he is a bad judge of what it
akes to constitute a hypocrite and a
oward. In conclusion, Mr. Feathertone
is glad to have from Senator
oilman the admission that the dispenary
was never intended as a mornl
nstitution, and requests people who
lave been supporting it for the sake
f morality to take notice accordingly.

The World interviewed nearly 100
?f the Nebraska soldiers, and their
'pinions are in exact accord with those
if returning volunteers from Oregon
nd Washington, obtained in the same
ray two weeks ago. They 'are praeically
unanimous in saying:
1. That the natives are "no good"
.ml the islands not worth lighting for ?
'they are not worth one battle," as
Corporal Charles White put it.
2. That it will take from live to ten
'ears?some say much longer?to subugate
the 100,000.
3. That General Otis is an utter failire.
The fact stated by Colonel Mulfjord,
commander of the regiment,
:rystalizes these opinions in one con:rete
fact: "Just one man in the enire
regiment re-enlisted."
Meanwhile the official statistics adnit
a loss of 767 dead, 1,616 wounded
ind 18 captured or missing.
Aud Mr. McKinley has cabled to
Jeneral Otis, through Alger, that "he
s perfectly satisfied with the work you
lave accomplished, and believes you
lave done as well as could have been
lone under the circumstances."
So stands the accouut of Mr. McKiulev's
war in the east, in the light

Saturday: B. D. Martin, a young
white man, was run over and killed
early this morning on the Southerc
railway track by a freight train oc

lives jn the city aud works at Cayce's,
which is about three miles from the

to his work, and when he had gone
some distance dowu the track he was
run over by the freight train. The
crew ou the freight train knew abso
lutely nothing about the accident
when or bow it happened, and no one
saw the accident. Martiu was cut up
very badly and, of course, was instantly
killed. No explanation is giveu as
to how the terrible accident occurred

The bonds, which were never signed,
and the contract of Mr. J. B. VVatsor

general to look at, and he will likelj
take action in a few days for the re
covery of the convict contracts. Tht
board of directors has not yet instruct
ed that proceedings be started, a?
everything seems to be waiting on the
report of the special investigate
committee, which has been finishec
aud forwarded. The state will hole
Mr. J. B. Watson responsible for the
couvict contracts, und sue him for the
full amount due the state. Mr. Wat
sou will, no doubt, claim that he hold:
receipts for two years' couvict hire
but the state will put up in reply thai
Colouel Neal had no authority to re
ceipt for convict hire, that his duties
and functions are purely statutory
and that it is not a statutory power fos
him to receipt for convict or other hire
and that any receipt he might hav<
given is what the lawyers call ultri

authority to give a receipt for money

Lillian Clayton Jewett, the Bostoi
girl who recently created a sensatioi
among the Negroes of that city, by de
elaring that she would come to Charles

family of the late Brazier B. Baker
who was lynched at Lake City, S. C.
in 181)8, with a view to beginning ar
agitation against mob law, has carrier
out her design says, a Charleston des
patch of Saturday. Miss Jewett ar
rived here Friday morning, accom
puuied by her mother, and a younj
man named R. G. Larsen, wlio is i
Boston journalist. She had f'requen
conferences with the Baker womai
and her friends, and as a result sh
( left here for Boston this afternoon, ac
compauied by the entire Baker family
| the mother and five children. Mis
| Jewett said her plans for the fulur
were not yet formulated, but she pro
posed to hold mass-meetings through
out the north, to arouse popular seuti
ment against lynching and mob lav
generally. She did not regard he
movement as an issue between th
races, but was advocating the cause o
humanity, irrespective of color or con
dition. She said she was educated ii
Virginia, and had some knowledge o
the southern people, and she was wcl
' aware that the better elements in tin
south joined hearts and soul with th(
better elements in the north in de
intituling a hall in the commission o
ihe outrages that recently have shock
ed the world. She said that since he
[ Boston addresses she had receive!
, many threatening letters from th
i south, but to these she paid no heed
knowing that they did not come froti
, a source worthy of serious considers
i lion. Miss Jewett paid for the ticket
of the Baker family from here to Bos
ton aud she also bought a number c
i small articles of clothing for the womai
i and her children. The Kev. J. I
Dart, a colored minister of this city

e the Bakers from Charleston. He de,
clares that Miss Jewett did not repres

GRAND GIFT
CUT RATE
AUGUST
SALE.
We would have you to under
stand that I, (H. C. STRAUSS
for the month of August, if the
goods advertised hold out, will
be cut in price "wid de blade
what we carried in de trade dis>
play" on Gaffney Day, in gals
week. We, I, or us, have, or has
no patience with penknife price
cutting at this season of the year
and since there can be no artistic
trimming wid our Damascus
blade, we will whack away al
just any old place on summei
goods named below, of course
first mutilating our prices on
Men's Summer Coats at the cul
rates mentioned below :
Men's Seersuckers, worth 5c
cents. Our blade struck 'em in
the middle and the whole stack
of coats go at 25 cents.
The blade cut 10 cents off our
linen coats and they go now al
40 cents.
The reckless handling of this
big sword went a little too fai
over and clipped 15 cents on otii
50 cents Satine coats and left
them to go at 35 cents.
Linen or Crash suits caught
the blade and they go at from
$1.10 up to $2.50. The Alpaca
Coat and Vest department had a
regular "cake walk row" with
the blade, and the prices were so
mutilated that the bargain hunter
cannot afford to parley. We
don't care who gets them.
Allwool square cut double
breasted Blue Serge coats worth
$5.00, for $3.50 is what the blade
says.
A nice fancy, light colored,
Negligee Shirt at 15 cents is
where the blade struck in this
department, and to supply yourself
at once would need no suggestion
from us.
It's the same way with all
summer goods whether mentioned
or not.
We are not going to carry over
any summer goods. We don't
have to. We only ask 10 cents
for 25 cents cloth hats, and our
fur hats caught the knife in a
greater ratio.

COUNT LANDRINOF
BY FEED WISHAW
IS a story of a Russian nobleman whc
very suddenly disappeared from his
home aud family. His disappearance
was very mysterious and was the
cause of much anxiety and concern or
the part of a loving wife and family and
his many friends. His son, who, at the
time of the disappearance, was in England,
where he was attending college, together
with a school chum and a skilled
detective, attempted to solve the mystery.
Their experiences, as related here, go tc
make an intensely interesting and fascinating
Serial Story.
The Mystery of
Count Landrinof

The Enquirer for the simple
reason that you cannot afford to
miss it. The author is one who
understands just how to write a
