Scraps and Jacts. ? The Louisiana legislature has elected Governor Foster to the United States senate over Senator McCaffrey. ? Twenty-two miners, including ten whites and 12 Negroes, lost their lives in an explosiou in the Cummock coal mines, iu Chatham county, N. C., last Tuesday afternoon. The explosion is supposed to have been caused from fire damp, ignited through a broken gauze in a safety lamp. There were between forty and fifty meu working in the mine at the time of the explosion; but those who escaped were in a tunnel some distance away. ? Upon learning of the decision of the United States supreme court in the Kentucky governorship case, Ex Secretary of State Finley, and Ex-Governor Taylor, both fled across the river to Indiana aud placed themselves uuder the protection of Governor Mouut. The grand jury has indicted Finley, and it is understood that there is an indictment against Taylor; but the grand jurj' has not published the fact. As to whether the governor of Indiana will honor requisitions for the two men in case requisitions are made upon him, has not yet developed. ? The latest South African dispatch, up to yesterday morning, indicated the main army of Lord Roberts as still keeping between Kroonstad and the Yaal river. The troops are in the form of a crescent, with the horns 30 miles apart. Gen. Hamilton on the right is 30 miles from the Yaal river, and Gen. French on the left, is 23 miles away. The distance from the centre of the crescent to the Yaal is forty miles. As to whether the Boers intend to fight at the Yaal opinion is still divided ; but the judications are that they are going to make a stubborn stand there. The advance of the British infantry has been delayed for a few days by swollen streams, over which the bridges have been destroyed. ? Says a Chicago dispatch of Wednesday : By a vote of 438 to^38, the Methodist general confereooe today abolished the time limit of pastorates, thus finally disposing of one of the most important questions before the great Methodist body and doing away with oue of the fundamental features of the itinerant system of the denomination. Hereafter, according to the amendment to the discipline adopted by the conference today, preachers will be appointed annually by the bishops with no limit on the number of years a pastor may serve one con- < gregation, except the limit imposed by his own ability and popularity with his congregation. He will still be a , pilgrim and a stranger, but now may tarry longer tbau five years. Fraterternal greetings were exchanged with ' the Presbyterian general assembly now ; in session at St Louis, i ? The case of Charles F. M. Neely, former financial agent of the post-office department at Havana, Cuba, is still attracting much atteution throughout this country and Cuba. Neely had instructions to call in and destroy a large lot of stamps that had been superseded by a new issue. Instead, he re-issued the stamps aud reported them burned, putting the money in his own pocket and the pockets of confederates. He escaped to the United States aud was caught; butou account of various loopholes in the law?the fnp.t that Cuba is not now a sovereign state and is without extradition laws, for one thing?procured his release. On Tuesday Neely was rearrested on criminal charges and congress is trying to pass a law under which his case can be dealt with. Neely's thefts amounted to $45,300.26 so far as has been ascertained. The Cubans are watching the case with the greatest interest. ? Sam Joues, writing to the Atlanta Journal from Baltimore, where he recently heard Senator Tillman speak, says of the South Carolinian : "I have watched with some interest the career of Ben Tillman, aud I believe iu him because he is a man who has the courage of bis convictions. We need him in the United States senate with his pitchfork and all. Ben Tillman is a bigger man today than any day in his life. He is more highly esteemed by his frieuds and more feared aud hated by his enemies. He aud old Senator Hoar say the strongest and truest things that have been said on the floor of the senate since the days of Ben Hill and Ruscoe Conkling. Ben Tillman doesn't contribute much dignity to the senate, but he is a mixture of mule and billy goat. He kicks with one end and butts with the other. Ben Tillman has as much brains and more backbone than any man iu public life today. Go it, Ben, you are a joy to your friends aud a dose of calomel to your enemies. You made South Carolina a good governor, and since the days of JohD C. Calhoun she has not had your equal in the senate." ? Messrs. Wessels, Fischer and Wolmorans, theeuvoys of the South African republics, made a formal call upon Secretary Hay, at the state department, last Tuesday, and also upon the president at the White House. They preseuted no credentials to Secretary Hay, for the reason that they learned beforehand that the United States government could not be induced to interfere in the political struggle in South Africa ; and uuder the circumstances they deemed it advisable to continue in the role of private citizens rather than assume an official capacity. This leaves them free to work up demonstrations in the different United States cities in behalf of the Boers, without incurring too much liability of beiug dismissed from the country by the government. From the state department the envoys had a talk with the president. The president received them as he receives other distinguished citizens; but informed them of his inability to take any action further than he had already taken in offering to mediate between the belligerents. The envoys were very much disappointed at the failure of their mission ; but it is understood that they will continue to urge the Boer cause as individuals in the hope of working up in this country a seuliment that will have an influence favorable to the Boers in the peace terms to be agreed upon at the end of the war. It is understood that the Boers will be willing to give up everything except their independence, and that they wish to preserve at all buz zards. /M?i? if ttrtlttlVf tiHV YORKVILLE, S. ^ SATURDAY, MAY 1&00. ? Senator Morgan says that there is do probability of the passage of the Nicarauga canal bill at the present session of congress. In his opinion the influence of the corporations inter ested in the trans continental railroads has been too strong, and the Republicans are afraid to act uutil after the election. Senator Morgan, however, is doiog all be can to keep the bill to the fore, and will make the Republican senators commit themselves at every opportunity. ? "Mother's Jewels," is the title of a neat little volume of miscellaneous poems that has just been issued from the press of the Bryan Printing company, Columbia. The volume was compiled by Mrs. C. P. Capers, who, in the preface, explains her purpose as follows: "These poems have been gathered from many sources, principally from newspapers. The name9 nf tKo outhnrs sr? f?r AS fchev could be ascertained, have been annexed to the pieces. I published them with the hope that they may comfort some bereaved heart as they have mine, in the days of sorrow now long past." A beautiful token of love does the volume represent and much good will it do. ? The suggestion of the name of Colonel J. A. Hoyt, of Greenville, by the South Carolina Prohibitionists as a candidate for governor, is to be taken as a matter of course. Mr. Featheratone would probably have been the most available candidate on account of the splendid race he made two years ago; but in view of his inability to make the race again, it was quite natural that the conference should turn to Colonel Hoyt. The colonel has always been a persistent and consistent opponent of the liquor traffic. He is a practical man of business and a zealous, patriotic citizen, who has never been known to shirk a public or other duty. Whether elected or not, he can be- depended upon to stick to bis principles through good and evil report, and if he shall become governor he will discharge the duties of that office in a manner entirely satisfactory to the people. ? A correspondent of the Columbia State, writing from Charleston over the signature of "Lex," makes a strong protest against the proposition to change the rules of the Democratic party so as to provide for the virtual selectiou of magistrates by primary elections. The correspondent holds that in the first place the executive committee has no right to make such a change ; and in the second place such a change would be equivalent to a violation of the constitution of the state, which specifically provides that magistrates shall be appointed by the governor. According to bis view, and the view seems to be a correct one, if the hands of the governor are to be tied by primary recommendations, the constitution will be nullified. This is indeed a most important matter. As the correspondent says, in the bands of incompetent, vicious and unscrupulous men, the office of magistrate can be made an engine of pretty oppression and injustice beyond the power of any judge in the land. That the office of magistrate is often horribly abused, there is no question. Nine intelligent citizens out of ten can so testify from actual knowledge; but what puzzles us is to find the remedy. The governor can only appoint intelligently upon the recommendation of a county delegation, and if county delegations are not advised by primaries, they will be advised by petitions, which would mean the same thing. But after all we rather agree with "Lex," in doing away with the primary idea for the selection of such officials. Left to the voters generally, magistrates are often selected on other considerations than qualifications. Their judgment is sometimes influenced by designing individuals who have more real interests than the candidates themselves. It is quite likely that if legislative delegations are held strictly accountable for the efficiency or inefficiency of magisterial appointees, more care will be exercised in the selection. SOUTH CAROLINA PROHIBITIONISTS. What Was Done In the State Conference Last Wednesday. The conference of South Caroliua Prohibitionists met in Columbia last Wednesday afternoon, 22 counties being represented by one or more delegates each. Mr. T. N. Berry, of Darlington, presided. After the adoption of an address, prepared by Colonel J. A. Hoyt to the Prohibition Democrats of the state, the conference appointed a committee on platform, which reported the following, which was unanimously adopted : We, the Prohibition Democrats of the State of iSouth Carolina, in conference assembled, hereby declare the following platform: 1. That competency, honesty and sobriety are indispensable qualifications for holding office. 2. That taxes should be made as low as possible consistent with efficiency of government. 3. That the sale of intoxicating liquors for beverage purposes is not a function of government; but a disgrace to Christian civilization, a dishonor to manhood and a political wrong of unparalleled enormity ; that itisan awful crime against the women and children, against the home, against the church and against God. 4. That prohibition of the sale of intoxicating liquors for beverage purposes is the true, consistent remedy, ana to this end we demand that the dispensary system be shorn of its evils, such as selling intoxicants as a beverage; and that authority be given by the general assembly for the state to sell alcoholic liquors for only medicinal, mechanical and sacramental purposes. The question of making nominations, or suggestions, was discussed at length. Mr. A. C. Jones, the former chairman of the Prohibition party, maintained that section 6 of the Democratic constitution forbade nomiuutions. Mr. Featherstone held that the conference had a right to suggest candidates if it saw 6t, and he did not believe that the State Democratic Executive committee would dare hold otherwise. Colonel Hoyt said that if the state executive committee should accept the pledges and subscriptions of such candidates, there would no longer be any question about the matter, and if the state committee should decide against the Prohibitionists, then there would be another conference at which further steps - - - * ' *? could be considered. most 01 iue delegates were of opinion that the conference should either elect to fight, or the members should go home and keep their mouths shut heuceforward. On motion it was decided that nominations should be made. Mr. C. C. Featherstone was nominated ; but declined to allow the use of his name for the reason, as he said, that it would be impossible to make the canvass. Col. James A. Hoyt was next nominated. He requested that his name also be withdrawn, declaring that he was not seeking such an honor for himself. Mr. Featherstone said that he felt assured that Colonel Hoyt would accept if nominated with any degree of unauimity. Mr. Joel E. Brunson was nominated and the vote was taken by ballot, Brunson receiving 11 votes and Hoyt 39. The nomination of Colonel Hoyt was then made unanimous. Several names were suggested for lieutenant governor, aud the convention finally agreed upon Mr. James L. Tribble, of Anderson, with the understanding that if Mr. Tribble should decliue, the executive committee would have the power to nominate his successor. During the early discussion of the nomination question, it had beeu practically decided to suggest a caudidate for attorney general; Cut before adjournment the idea was abandoned. The conference adjourned at 12.20 Thursday moruing. The Governor and the Smallpox. News and Courier, Thursday : The smallpox pest has not been entirely elimiuated from the state. The state board of health aud Governor McSweeney are doing all they can to stop it, und today, in a statement about the situatiou, Goveruor McSweeney said : "I have been very much interested in the effort to stamp out smallpox in this state, and all cases reported to me have been promptly referred to Dr. James Evans, secretary of the state board of health, and by him given immediate attention. In spite of these efforts the disease still liugers in the state, and if not checked or stamped out may cause much trouble during the coming fall and winter. I am afraid our people do not realize the importauce and necessity of vaccination. The state board of health has endeavored to impress the importance of vaccination as a preventative, and has emphasized the fact that thorough vaccination was the only way to prevent a spread of the disease and to stamp it out effectually. And yet we have been unable to secure complete vaccinatiou. If the managers of our cotton mills and the operatives could be made to realize the importance to their communities and to themselves and their property of vaccinatiou, I am 6ure they would not neglect it any longer. Compulsory vaccination is not only not popular, but the use of force is not always the best way to accomplish results. In fact I doubt the wisdom of a resort to force, except it muy be in extreme cases where persons persistently and stubbornly refnoa tn onlimlt fn vnpcinntinn Mv I purpose now is to call the attention of the people to the importance of this matter and to urge upon them the good judgment of assisting the suppression of the disease by submitting to vaccination. I would be glad to have the managers of the cottou mills to call the attention of the mill communities to the importance of vaccination, and I am sure if it is done iu the proper spirit there will be no resistance or objection to vaccination. School trustees and teachers and superintendents could also aid in this work by requiring ^vidence of vaccination as a requisite Tor the entrance of pupils to the schools. I hope all the peo- , pie of the state will unite in an effort to stamp out the disease." LiOCikLi INDEX TO NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.

Yorkville means to play baseball this summer. That fact is proty evident now. Although it has taken the town quite a while to get roused up on the matter, Manager J. P. White is now beiug backed up in a way that should make bis heart feel glad. During the early part of the week he started out with a subscription paper on which he sought to get the names of 20 citizens who would obligate themselves to help guarantee expenses to the amount of $5 a month each for three months. In a short time be had his 20 signers, and," continuing, he succeeded soon after in raising the number to 40. Then he decided to keep on adding names until he got 50. There was every reason to believe yesterday morning that he would be oi,s>s>acQfiil Tt. ia rmt likelv that the OUVVVOUiUtt A w aw -? subscribers will ever be called upon for the amouuts of their subscriptions. If the gate receipts pay expenses, the' subscribers are not to be called upon at all; but the arrangement assures, among other thiDgs, that the people of Yorkville have the right elbow touch iD regard to the matter, and that so for as the mere question of money is concerned, there is nothing in the way of getting whatever , may be needed. Manager White now has about six baseball players who are as good as he wants, and he says be needs about six more. He is now in correspondence with them. Cbappelle, who did such capital pitching last summer, has been telegraphed for. Within the next few weeks, and during the entire summer, the people of Yorkville may expect not only to see some interesting ball here ; but they will have aright to be disappointed if the prowess of the town is not properly upheld in surrounding towns.

Senator Tillman, after the prayer, took Mr. Johnson in charge, and introduced him around the chamber, introducing him to various senators. Having presented him to Senator Chandler, of New Hampshire, as a specimen of a civilized South Carolinian, Mr. Chandler retorted that he thought Mr. Tillman himself was now making good progress toward a state of civilization.

The Negro drum corps of the Jasper Light Infantry was the occasion of some little frictiou in Charlotte last Tuesday. The race question is strong ly to the fore iu North Carolina just at this time, and the idea of marching behind a uegro drum corps was somewhat distasteful to the North Carolina soldiers. A member of the Jasper Light Infantry relates the incideut as follows: "You see we had the best drum corps in the city?in fact the only one that was really entitled to be called a corps?and when we arrived Monday night it attracted a good deal of interest. The boys handled their drums so well that big crowds would gather around them whenever they begau to beat, and we thought that instead of exciting prejudice we had made quit a hit. In fact it was not until next day that we bad the slightest intimation of objection or unreasonable prejudice. "Duriug the morning there came echoes of hostility to our drum corps from North Carolina soldiers, and we heard of statements by them to the effect that if "those niggers took part in the parade they would not but we paid no attention to all this talk, as we did not consider that it amounted to anything. Shortly before we went out to take our places in the parade, how ever, somebody, presumably a mem ber of a North Carolina company, cut the bead out of one of our drums witb a bayonet. We made an effort to find out the perpetrator of this act, but without success, and the affair made most of us pretty hot. "At the request of officers of several of the South Carolina companies, Lieutenant Hart, who had been appointed adjutant oo Col. Boyd's staff, placed the drum corps of the Jasper Light Infautry at the head of the parade. It was not very long, however, until there were evidences of dissatisfaction that was generally understood to be on account of tbe drum corps, and presently there came an order from Col. Boyd that all the drum corps should be sent back. This settled the matter for the time being, and when a band arrived to furnish the music the parade proceeded smoothly." After the exercises of the day were over, the drum incident was discussed by tbe soldiers in the armory, and Capt. Moore and Lieutenant Hart took occasion to express their minds about tbe matter. It looked at one time as if there was going to be some serious trouble ; but Chaplain Johnes who had, of course, maintained good judgment nnriifflpH nil the while, managed to preserve the peace. Later, CaptaiD Moore marched his company through the streets of Charlotte, with the drum corps at its head, until all the boys were satisfied of their complete vindication. Although at first very indignant that such a question should be raised at such a time, after thinking the matter over fully, most of the Jasper boys have come to the conclusion that, after all, the Tar Heel boys were not much to blame. The race issue is running high in North Carolina just at this time, and the whites of that state could no more think of following a, to them, unknown Negro drum corps, than would the whites of South Carolina in 1876. At the same time, however, it should not be forgotten that the matter involved raises delicate questions that were difficult to settle on the spur of the moment. It was a Greenville man, it seems, who smashed the drum. Since the foregoing was put in type, the Greenville News of yesterday has arrived with the following: The nearest approach the boys came to doing anything very gay was on the night of arrival, when about midnight a member of the company kicked a hole in the Yorkville company's bass drum, which the Yorkville men's drunken pet Negro had been beating too continuously and without orders. When the Negro refused to let up at the command of an enlisted man in charge of the Greenville company, the aforesaid enlisted man stepped up to and into the drum. The only Yorkville man, a sergeant, present, attempted to raise a row about it, and was promptly nut nnrJnr arrest hv Quartermaster M. LeelancfSmith, who arrived opportunely. Members of the Jasper Light Infantsay that the above statement is incorrect in that no arrest was made or attempted. SOLDIERS AND THEIR WIDOWS. Clerk of the Court Wylie, on Thursday morning, received a list of the Confederate soldiers and widows of Confederate soldiers in York county who have been found to be entitled to pensions under tbe law, together with a check for $4,147.40 to cover the total amount to be paid out in this county. The total number of pensioners on the York county list is 327, divided amoug the different classes as follows: Class A, 1; class B, 16; class C2, 192; class C4, 118. Class A receives $72 each; class B, $16 each ; and classes C2 and C4, $12.30 each.
