since the King's Mountain Chapter of D. A. R. has undertaken the work, there is no longer any .reason to doubt its successful carrying out. Further details will be published later on. In the meantime, subscriptions may be made to Miss Moore at Yorkville, or to The Enquirer. 1 ? Now that there is no longer any 1 danger of complications, The Enqui- 1 rer will take occasion to state the , law as to commutation street tax in | Yorkville. For a number of years past, the town council has been proceeding somewhat irregularlar in the matter, and the present council has , followed its predecessors. The rule heretofore has been $2.50 and more if not paid within a given length of time, 1 in lieu of six day's work, etc. Un- , der the old charter, the council had ( authority to impose a "reasonable" | tov Tho ummint was UUUIULlUiailUU VUAI A uv , .. not stated ; but as a presumption of l law it would not be fixed beyond the amount the legislature had prescribed for the county. The present charter prescribes specifically that the town ( council has the same powers with re- i gard to the streets in the town as the i county commissioners have with regard to roads in the county. The county commissioners have power to make those subject to road duty work j four days, giving them the alternative i of paying $2. There is provision in I the law for punishment in the event of ' failure to pay. The Enquirer has ! all along believed that the town coun- , cil should hold strictly to the law in < this matter, and a representative of j > The Enquirer spoke to members of < council on the subject before the cur- 1 rent ordinance was passed. No attention was paid, however, to the infor- , mation, and we make the matter pub- ; lie now so that by this time next year i everyone will be able to know his 1 legal rights. The all important issue ' k involved is the strict observance of the ' law. I PEKIN CAPTURED. I Instead of Months the Work Was Accom" pllshed in Weeks. The allied forces entered Pekin on last Wednesday. It was expected that thopn u'ah 1H ha a lone hard fight of it , between Tien Tsin and the Chinese capital, and the news of the quick j capture came as an agreeable surprise. General Yamaguchi, of the Japanese , forces, told the story to bis government on Thursday as follows: J "The allies attacked Pekin early ( : yesterday, opening with artillery ou , the eastern side. The wall was oh- ; stinately held by the enemy. The Japanese and Russians were on the northward of the Tung Chow canal. Tne Americans and British were ou the south side. At nightfall the Japanese blew up the two eastern ( .? gates of the Tartar city and entered. In the meantime the Americau and ' British entered the Chinese city by the Tung Pieu gates. Detachments of each force were sent towards the legations. The parties met near the legations and opened communication. All the ministers aud their statfs were found safe. The Japanese loss was over 100 killed, including three officers. The losses of the allies have not been ascertained. Four hundred ( Chinese were killed." Subsequent dispatches tell of the flight of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor from Pekin before the allies entered. * " Washington dispatches describe the administration as being very much relieved by the course events have taken. While this government has assented to the airangement whereby Count Wal dersee was to have been commander' " " r in-cuter 01 me mueu wiw, n> ia uwv understood that the Uuited Slates is committed to take part in hostilities beyond Pekin. As this government sees it, Chiua is responsible to us for the expense we have beeu at, the lives lost by our troops, the discomfort to which Minister Conger and people have been subjected, aud also for damage to property of missionaries. A good rouud bill will be put in on account of all these items, aud Chiua will be required to pay this bill. That is the way the matter looks at this time. It is not unlikely that the fall of Pekin is really the beginuing of the troubles iu China. It is the avowed purpose of all the powers to be satisfied with a restoration of order throughout the empire ; but it is quite possible that having gotteu their armies into the coveted field, it will be quite a while before they take them out. This applies to the Uuited States as well as the other natious. Subsequent dispatches add some confusion to the situation as described above. A British dispatch says that Geueral Yung Lu prevented the empress from ieaving Pekin, and that 30,000 Chinese are now making a last stand iu the inner city, which is surrounded by the allies and being bombarded. Pekin really consists of two main cities, the northern, or Tartar city, and the southern or Chinese city. The legations are in the extreme southeastern part of the Tartar city and adjoining the walls of the Imperial Iuside that is what is called the forbidden, or Sacred, or Purple city. Each in turn has its owu walls, those of the latter measuriug two iniles in circumfereuce, and beiug faced with yellow tiles. Within the iuclosure are the palaces of the emperor and the Imperial family, with gardens and a lake, and the island where the emperor was imprisoned, and also the mag*" niticent temple of the imperial ancestors, the offices of the cabinet, etc. To the norlb of the Forbidden City is a height known as Prospect Hill, surmounted by five temples and also enclosed. Within the Imperial City are also the Bell Tower, with its famous bell weighing over fifty tons, the Drum Tower, with quaiut instruments tor the measurement of lime, the Lamasery, euclosed with gardeus, containing a huge gilt statue of Buddha and accommodating a thousand or more Mongol and Thibetan monks; the ? Temple of Coufucius and also the Examination Hall, the arsenal and the residence of various high dignitaries. Until very recent years China had refused to receive the ambassadors bi within the Forbidden City, but de- th cided in 1894 to admit the "barbarian" p1 ambassadors within the stately por |s tals. On the 12th of November of is that year the seven European minis ters then in Pekin were received in . a Lne paiace useu.

The French minister of foreign affairs is considering the question of proposing an international diplomatic conference, to be held in Paris, for the purpose of arriv- ? ing at some agreement with regard to united action in China. George Ferris, a Wyoming mine owner, who was about to sell his holdings for $2,300,000, was killed at Rawlins, Wyo., last Sunday in a runaway. A Cbieago dispatch says that 62,000 frogs were sold in that city last Saturday. The demand for frog legs is said to be away ahead of the supply. Bunch Taylor, a famous rifle shot who served in the Spanish war and was wounded through the lungs, died in Washington last Sunday, from trouble caused by the wound.

Stewart has published in the Hock Hill Herald and is circulating a circular, a statement to the effect that I have circulated a campaign "lie" on him, saying that he introduced a bill in the legislature "To prevent mill operatives Jj from moving from one mill to another without permission from the mill own- i*' ers." He says I did it to influence the mill vote against him in the interest of some one. I cannot read or write; but I am 75 years old and know how to tell the truth. About a month ago Frank Earls, of Rock Hill, told me in that town, that "Mr. Stewart tried to pass a bill to require a laboring man to get a pass from his employer before he could sell his crop, hunt a new place, or leave the state." I re- Si peated the story; but did not apply it to ?e mill operatives, because I did not under- stand Mr. Earls to include them. ^ I am not going to vote for Mr. Stewart, because I have always understood that he is too slippery to be relied upon; but I hopo the public will not think that I have lied about him. I don't think he ought to accuse me of it either. His 851 T. N. X Sl'KNCEH. f(| It Mark. - Serial gjlotkes.

A 321-Acre Highly Improved Farm, " Adjacent to Town Conveniences. , FOR cash, or upon satisfactory terms to J the right party, I offer at private sale J that tract of land on the southwestern s outskirts of Yorkville, known as the Dr. J. F. LINDSAY PLANTATION. This plantation includes 321 ACRES, lying on both sides of the Pinckney road, 1 which runs nearly through the centre. The S. C. A G. Extension railroad passes ^ through one corner, and the C. & N.-W. t< R. R. runs within about 200 yards of the P eastern boundry. The northeastern line is within 1? miles of the courthouse, and ^ the town is accessible over either the Chester or Pickney roads. , There are under cultivation and in . pasture about 200 acres, and the balance is ^ in woodland, most of which is original forest, including many THOUSAND CORDS OF FIREWOOD, and more or less valuable timber. That portion of I 1 an/1 mliinh ia undflp cnltivci.inn is hichlv improved, including a thorough system u of terraces cast along scientific lines and ^ of from seven to ten years' standing. All v the land lies well. *1 The buildings include a ONE STORY ? FRAME BUILDING, 5 rooms, in fair re- p pair, suitable for overseer, on the Pinck- ? ney road, just two miles from the courthouse, a good barn and four outbuildings, with a well of good water. There are on 1 the place FOUR TENEMENT HOUSES, each near a spring, and on the place ti six springs, all of which are convenient p to one or the other of the different cul- c tivated fields. 0 Several of the fields have, with favorable seasons, yielded an average of a BALE OF COTTON TO THE ACRE, 1 and one four-acre tract has a record of SEVEN BALES. This plantation was tl improved by the late Dr. J. F. LINDSAY, a during a period of 25 years, and most of p the local public is aware that, especially during the last ten years of his life, he : made on it heavier crops at less expense 1 than were made by any other farmer on any other plantation in this section of the ? county. All of the land is as good or ? better now than it has ever been. 11 I ask for this plantation $25 AN ACRE. I am farming the place this year and would want to give possession January 1st, 1901; but in the meantime the pur- p chaser would be at liberty to build, cut s timber or do anything else that would p not interfere with the cultivation or gathering of the crop. _ The situation of the property makes it 1 valuable as a place to run a PUBLIC GIN, and one has been successfully run f< there for years. The gin house is well 1 built, covered with metal and iu good o repair. The ginning outfit consists of a 12 horse power engine, 60-saw Van Win- kle gin, condenser, feederand a press?all in good running order. If a sale is made in^time to enable me to arrange to put my "1 stock, etc., on another place for next year, J I will put this ginning outfit in without <charge to the purchaser. t!
