renewed confidence in the situation.
The meeting had no definite purpose
i in view. There wa3 a feeling that inasmuch
as the appraisement committee
had said the stock was worth 86
cents, then 86 cents it should be whether
the bank resumed business or its
affairs wound up by a receiver. At
least so a majority seemed to feel, and
when this majority voted to decline the
Columbia offer, it felt dead certain
that it was doing exactly the right
thing. The business men in the minority,
however, at that moment felt
that the value of their stock had suddenly
depreciated to uncertain 'figures,
and some made bona fide offers to sell
at 50 cents. The non-stockholding depositors
were thoroughly discouraged.
, After Friday it looked as if the receivership
was now a certainty, and so
it would have been had not certain outsiders
taken- a hand. Messrs. W. W.
T ??,!? n XT A'T ooro and S M Mfl
Neel began to work together, and they
arranged a plan whereby they
would put in new capital, re-organize
under the old charter and re-open the
bank. None of the gentlemen had previously
been, connected with the Loan
" and Savings bank except as depositors.
They made proposals to the stockholdA|s
whereby they agreed to consider
^roe stock of the bank as worth the appraised
value, and providing that
stockholders could either subscribe the
difference between that and par or sell
and step out. This proposition was,
after all, the most favorable that had
been suggested, and It was accepted.
At a meeting of stockholders last
Monday night, the new arrangement
was formally agreed to, and directors
were elected as follows: o. M. McNeel,
G. H. O'Leary, W. W. Lewis, W. B.
Wylie, C. E. Spencer. Immediately after
the adjournment of the meeting of
the stockholders, the directors held a
meeting and elected Mr. McNeel president,
Mr. O'Leary vice president, and
Mr. W. P. Harrison cashier.
It was resolved that the bank be reopened
at the earliest possible moment,
and Mr. McNeel left yesterday morning
for the purpose of getting the mon,
ey with which to pay all depositors in
full as rapidly as they can draw their
checks. It is the outside impression
that there will be but little disposition
on the part of depositors to withdraw
their deposits except where they stand
immediately in need of the money; but
the directorate will not presume on
anything of the kind. The money
will be at hand and depositors may
take it or leave it alone as they like.
YESTERDAY PRIMARY.
The battle of the ballots throughout
4 York county yesterday made up one
of the hardest fought contests that
has taken place In this county for
many years. There were some strong
men in the race, there was some hard
work done, there was much independent
voting, and the closeness of the result
in some instances is almost like the
splitting of hairs.
Although The Enquirer made the
usual elaborate arrangements to
which it has been accustomed for years
to get quick and accurate returns, the
machinery did not work quite so
smoothly as usual and it was not until
about 6 o'clock, this, Wednesday morning,
that the last figures were received.
The reports commenced coming in yesterday
afternoon within an hour after
the closing of the polls. The result at
Tirzah came in first. Then followed
Newport shortly afterward, and next
Sharon, Bullock's Creek, Clark's Fork,
Smyrna, Ebenezer, Biairsvine ana
Coates' Tavern, all by telephone.
Shortly before 9 Bethany was received
by special messenger and later
Forest Hill, Bethel, Antloch and McConnellsville
by the same means. The
The other boxes followed in succession
as rapidly as the count was completed,
until by 12 o'clock all the returns
of the county, except the state
vote at Bullock's Creek, and the two
big boxes at Yorkville and Rock Hill,
had been tabulated.
Then came a long wait, The count
at Yorkville was not completed until 2
o'clock. Within 15 minutes afterward
the figures were in the tabulated statement.
All the columns had been added
"* up and there remained only the vote
of Rock Hill to make the work complete.
Word came that Rock Hill
would be through by 2 o'clock, then by
3, and then by 4. Mr. H. H. Beard had
kindly kept the telegraph office open all
night until advised that his services
would no longer be required; but within
a short time after he left something
got wrong with the telephone wires.
They were grounded, crossed or something.
Anyhow the obliging operators
here, Messrs. Wallace and Williams,
wrestled for an hour or more in a vain
effort to re-establish connection, and
finally there was nothing for it except
to suspend further effort with the result
of several of the contests still
hanging in doubt on account of the
uncertain effect of the big box at Rock
Hill.
At last at about 6 o'clock this morning,
connection was re-established and
Mr. W. J. Caveny succeeded in getting
through to us the vote at Rock Hill.
Up to that time in several instances it
was anybody's race; but quickly made
additions now tell the story as it will
stand.
The nominees for the house of representatives
are W. B. de Loach, J. E.
, Beamguard, W. N. Elder, James R
f Haile.
John R. Logan Is renominated foi
sheriff.
1 John E. Carroll gets the nomlnatior
for county superintendent of education
1 L. W. Louthian is nominated as coroner.

John F. Gordon and T. G. Culp will

It appears that Senator Tillman was
scratched by about 800 voters.
Mr. McSweeney carries the county
over Hoyt by a small plurality.
Returns from ten boxes in Cherokee,
give Finley 1,000 and Strait, 250. All
but three boxes in Lancaster, give
Strait 1,450 and Finley 500. Five boxes
in Chesterfield give Finley 268 and
Strait, 223. Chester county complete,
gives Finley 971 and Strait 814. Mr.
Finley said this morning at 1 o'clock
that he would probably defeat Strait
by a majority of between 2,500 and
3,500.
All but three boxes in Lancaster
county gave Hough 1?000; Henry 500,
and McDow 450. Henry carried Chester
county and also Fairfield and
Cherokee. Mr. McDow said last night
that he was satisfied that Henry was
elected by a good majority, and that
there will be no second race The
statement, however, was based upon
personal judgment, rather than actual
knowledge of facts.
MAGISTRATE RACE.
An interesting feature of yesterday's
primary in York township, was the
magisterial race. There were seven
candidates, all of whom, with their
friends, worked hard for the nomination.
The result wa3 as follows:
John A. Barron 98
J, Martin Brian 48
D. C. Clark 84
W T> Hnhho 37
Wm. C. McLure 43
W. S. Peters 86
C. H. Sandifer 176
No one of the foregoing having received
a majority of the votes cast,
there will be a second race between the
two highest. These are John A. Barron
and C. H. Sandifer.

Excursion to Cliff.
Quite a crowd from all points along
the C. & N. W., railroad went on the
excursion to the Cliffs last Friday. The
day was a miserable one for the pleasure-seekers,
on account of a very
heavy rain in the afternoon, the intense
heat, etc.
Sutro Mill Organizes.
The Sutro Cotton Mill company was
duly organized last Saturday, with T
B. McClain, J. S. Brice and Wm. H
Lyles at directors. Mr.- McClain was
elected as president and treasurer, and
Mr. Walton S. Neil as secretary. The
affairs of the mill are progressing satisfactorily.
The town authorities had to remove
a dead mule from the waterworks
branch, some three-quarters of a mile
above the reservoir, one day last week,
The animal had been in the branch foi
several days. It was removed, however,
the very night it was reported. It
has been suggested several- times thai
the town should own the watershed
from which the public* water supply
comes. The suggestion is respectfully
repeated.
The Chapel Picnic.
The educational mass meeting at
King's Mountain chapel, last Friday
was largely attended, not only by people
from the immediate neighborhood;
but by many from quite a distance. It
is estimated that the crowd numbered
between 400 and 500 people. The educational
address of the occasion was
delivered by Prof. John G. Clinkscales
of Wofford college. It was entertaining,
instructive and very much enjoyed.
Rev. J. M. Booth and Rev. J. M
Steadman were present and did whal
they could to contribute to the entertainment
and comfort of the people
The educational exercises lasted frorr
11 to 1 o'clock. Then came a big picnic
dinner that was thoroughly enjoyed
After dinner social pleasures and base
ball were the rule until a late hour ir
the afternoon, when the crowd broke
up. The occasion was quite a success.
Some Fine Fruit.
Mr. John W. Simril, of Concord, complimented
The Enquirer last Saturday
with a basket of peaches anc
I grapes. The peaches were oi the olc
1 fashioned Indian free-stone variety
and as large as full sized lemons. Thej
were sweet and luscious?altogethei
the finest we have seen this season
Mr. Simril said that he had 14 trees, al
well loaded; but they are almost don<
now. Had he tried he could easily hav<
. disposed of his crop for $1 a bushel
but he didn't. Mrs. Simril preserved as
many as she cared to, and the balanc*
were shared with the neighbors. Thf
trees on which the peaches grew hav<
( been mentioned before. Mr. Simril pu
them out some ten or twelve years ag<
from seeds obtained in Mecklenbur*
county, and since then numerous peo
pie have procured seeds from him, unti
this particular variety has been prett:

THE CHINESE SITUATION.
European Powers Are In Doubt as to What
r They Should Do.
New York Sun, Monday.
The continued absence of reliable
1 news or information of any kind re.
garding the situation in China, is very
significant, and goes to confirm the be"
lief that there is a serious divergence
of views among the powers. The
French government is taking steps
5 that point clearly to a desire on its
part to have a free hand, either to cooperate
with other powers or to act
1 alone. The reason for this is not far
n w/v *-nlrl?#? A f Arm {n

northwest Africa that may at any mo1
ment caltfor action on the part of the
. French government. In the face of the
possibility of trouble with Morocco, involving
perhaps, complications with
; England, it would be in the highest degree
inconvenient for large bodies of
French troops to be working in co-oper
ration with British troops in China.
France, therefore, is assuming an attitude
of reserve and waiting on
events. The sudden rescinding by the
Belgian government of the decision to
1 send a contingent to China is a symp,
ton of the hidden currents running un|
der the surface of European diplomacy
at this moment. So is the prolonged
' interview between the German emperor
and the Prince of Wales at Homburg,
while Lord Salisbury remains on
the German side of the Franco-Ger.
man frontier in the Vosges. The
change of policy in Italy with the accession
of King Victor Emmanuel to the
throne, has also to be taken into account,
tending as it does to a drawing
closer together of the continental European
powers in the groups into
which they are divided, and to the
carrying on of relations between the
groups through the powers exercising
the more active or predominating influence
in them.
It has been rumored that some time
ago overtures were made by Russia
i and France to England, for a partition
of China, England being offered the
Yangtse valley, the others appropria,
ting the northern and southern provinces
and that Engiand refused. What
truth there may be in this it is impossible
to say, and the only thing that
lends color to it is the saying attributed
to the German Emperor some
three months ago, that Germany was
not going to be ignored in any settle,
ment of the Chinese question. The
probability is that the rumor was put
about as a straw to test'the direction
of the political currents. Be that as it
may, for more than two months before
the murder of Baron Ketteler, in Pekln,
tnere were mysterious rumors going
about that an explosion was to be looked
for in China at any moment, with
hints that the agitations going on
among the Chinese were fomented by
foreign agents. The basis of these reports
was probably the fact that asylum
had been given to well-known Chinese
political agitators on British territory
and that one or two of them had
received onen protection. This alone,
would be sufficient to alarm the reactionary
party in China and cause it to
countenance the formation of societies
and bands having for obiect the expulsion
of all foreigners from China, and
the extermination of those Chinese
who. bv reason of their change of religion.
were more or less under the political
protection of the countries whose
missionaries had converted them.
The presort suspense is undoubtedly
due to the fact that the contingents
1 end warshins of the various powers
1 now on their wav out to China, have
not vet arrived. When thev have, we
mav exnect to see matters taking a decided
turn.
| The last news concerning the military
situation leads to the expectation
i of more 'fighting in the neighborhood of
Pekin. A division. 10.000 strong, of
Herman drilled troops under Yuan
. Shih TCai. governor of Shantung, is re[
ported to he on the march to the capi[
tal, and the Japanese cavalry sent in
pursuit of the Imperial party has been
| obliged to fall back before a large body
of Chinese horse. Other Chinese troops
are reported coming from the west.
The latest official information at
Washington from Pekin is only down
i to Sunday, the 19th.

Deaftiess Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as thev cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets inflamed you have
a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation
