The business is to be under the immediate charge of Mr. W. W. Ferguson, * - -*-1 *- u^ fnr rtno thlnf wno says mat uc uu^n ui.v ? 0, to give the town a better market for poultry than it has had heretofore, and that he will certainly do it if he can get proper encouragement. ? The death of Queen Victoria occurred at 6.30 p. m., London time, and at 1.30 p. m., Washington time. The news was received in Yorkville 2J hours aftei" the occurrence, and was put on the streets of the town through Thr Enquirer within 15 minutes after its receipt. For its ability to give this important item so quickly in the last issue, The Enquirer is under obligation to Mr. H. H. Beard, manager of the Western Union telegraph office at this place. By request, he made inquiries several times during the morning, and up to the time at which the paper was . ready for the press, the indications were that the news would not be printed in that issue. At 3 o'clock, just as the first sheets of the edition were being printed, Mr. Beard telephoned that the queen was dead, and the news was inserted in place of lines telling of her condition an hour before. The Enquirer was thus enabled to give its readers the news hours in advance of the time at which they would have gotten it from the daily papers. THE TUITION QUESTION. The Columbia State, of Thursday, has the following that is of interest throughout the state just now and of special interest in this section: Yesterday an interesting question, and to a large class of people a vital one, was presented to the supreme court, involving the right to charge tuition fees in the common schools of the state. In two cases the appeal came up; one from Florence, the other from Rock Hill. The question was raised in suits by taxpayers of the school districts of Florence and Rock Hill to prohibit the collection of tuition fees in the graded schools of said school districts, on the ground that such collections were unnecessary and unlawful, violating the provisions of the constitutions of 1868 and 1895, which require a liberal system of free public schools for all children between the ages of 6 and 21 years. The Florence case was decided on the circuit in favor of the constitutionality of tuition fees, while in the ^ TT!" An} o i nr> WOQ in ffl. JtUCK n 111 UdOC mc ucviuvu Iiuu ... vor of the taxpayers, and the collection of tuition fees from persons residing in the school district was prohibited. In Florence, Rock Hill and a few oth^ er school districts, it seems, the charters of their graded schools undertake* to authorize the* collection^ of tuition fees it they are deemed necessary; and in the Rock Hill graded school there is a high school department as well as the usual common school grades. The salaries of the teachers in both departments is paid out of the funds derived from the constitutional three mils, poll tax and a special two mill tax. The taxpayers contend that the funds are sufficient to maintain the common grades, furthermore, that a special assessment necessary to maintain both departments is forcing the patrons of the lower grades to assist in the support of the higher grades. During the month of September last the board of trustees adopted regulations for the collection of tuition fees as follows: All tuition fees must be paid within the first five days of each school month. All patrons furnishing satisfactory evi dence of their inability to pay the tuition may receive from the secretary of the board, upon application, permits for their children to be entered upon the "free list," and by thus only, be excused from the payment of tuition fees during the session. All pupils whose tuition is not paid within the time specified, or whose parents have not shown satisfactorily their inability to pay, shall be denied the privilege of attending school. A number of patrons believing this demand unconstitutional, refused to pay the small assessment. When the five days' limit expired, the superintendent sent all the children whose parents had not complied with his regulations. away from the school. Then followed the suit of Geo. P. Holler et al. vs. Rock Hill Graded School District et al. The complaint for injunction and relief resulted in a decree for the plaintiffs. In this case the attorneys representing the appellants are Messrs. Witherspoon & Spencers, and the attorney for the respondents is Wm. J. Cherry. The attorneys in the Florence case are Messrs. W. F. Clayton and Wm. J. Cherry for appellants and Messrs. S. W. G. Shipp and P. A. Wilcox for the respondents. ABOUT PEOPLE. '/Mr. Joseph Hart is seriously ill with pneumonia. Mr. J. A. Tate is keeping books for J the York Cotton Mills company. M?. E. R. McElwee left Wednesday evening for his home in North Carolina. Mrs. E. C. Hanahan and Mrs. E. B.

S. //.Hart and Mr. C. E. Spencer have been in Columbia this week on business before the supreme court. It is probable that Supervisor Gordon's chaingang rules may be adopted in other counties besides York. They have been reprinted in the Chester Lantern and Lancaster Review, and pe/haps in other papers. /Rock Hill special of January 23, tc Qolumbia State: The Daughters of the American Revolution last evening held a delightful reception and banquet at the beautiful new home of Mr. and Mrs. James J. Reid, on East Main street. A number of visiting daughters were present, among whom were seer Mrs. S. E. Whjte. of Fort Mill: Mrs. J H. Thornwell, also of Fort Mill: Mrs Leroy Springs, of Lancaster; Mrs. Latta Johnson, of Charlotte: Miss Witherspoon, of Yo.'kville, and others. Fort Mill Times: The Times learns from Mr. R. D. Springs, president ol the Millfort mill, that Mr. Reatty has been appointed secretary and treasure! * of that mill. Mr. Be.vty is expected t( arrive today and will assume the du ? ties of his new position at once. The , retiring: secretary and treasurer of the Millfort mill, Mr. W. A. Watson, whc . is also a large stockholder, relinquishes the place because of the inconvenience in coming to Fort Mill from Charlotte, where he resides. Mr. Robt. Butler will be retained as superintendent ol i the mill. i Speaking of August Kohn as a news( paper man, the Abbeville Press and Banner concurs in the opinion expressi ed by The Enquirer, and goes on to show that it has an opinion of : its own. Says The Press and ; Banner: We agree with The Yorki ville Enquirer in what that paper says of Mr. August Kohn as a newspaper man. No man in the state, or within our knowledge, seems to have a higher conception of his position, and no man is more wideawake or more impartial, or more industrious. Having attended strictly to his own business in the past, he has no enemies to punish, and he does not abuse his position by abusing anybody. Impartial in his writings he gives the news fairly and properly without minimizing one thing or magnifying another of the same imI Dortance. When a man reads August Kohn's correspondence to The News and Courier he has the news from Columbia. He makes it his business to give the news, without trying to run the legislature or anything else about the city. He tells the truth, the whole truth, as nearly as it is possible for any living man to do. LtX2A^ LACONICS. Eat* Goats. / ^ The big white thing that looks like a lion, eat a goat for Mr. G. E. Thomas, on the northern outskirts of Yorkville last Tuesday night. It came back after the remains on Wednesday night, and died. It was only a white dog. The Centennial Cliurcli. As the result of his recent trip into Western York in behalf of the Associate Reformed Centennial church, to be erected in Columbia, Rev. J. P. Knox secured $111 at Smyrna, and $205 at Hickory Grove. Mr. Knox's York county collections have come well up to expectations. Pout Office Location Changed. The location of the postoffice at Point, on the route from Yorkville to York ^ ^*--1 Y-T 111 ville by way or uetnei, nm, cw., has been moved about a quarter of a mile north of the E. D. Thompson place, where it has been for several years. It is the understanding of The Enquirer that Mr. W. 0. Glover is to be postmaster. The New* At Clover. The Clover Leaf, the publication of which was commenced at Clover some weeks ago, has been succeeded bv the Clover Review, the first number of wnich appeared on last Thursday. Elsewhere in this issue will be found some clippings from the new paper that are of more or less local interest. The L. B. Gwin Company is the publisher of The Review. Cu^nplle* With the Law. T^The York Cotton Mill company already has such a school for its operatives as is provided for by the McMaster bill. The company erected the school house, and supplements the public funds from its own treasury sufficient to give a 10 months school. The school is in charge of Mr. Paul H. Moore, a thoroughly competent teacher, who gives faithful service. The only difference between the existing arrangement and Mr. McMaster's proposed law. lies in the fact that attendance on the mill school is not compulsory. Many parents are unable to read and write themselves, and are, therefore, unable to appreciate the Importance of education to their children. Wlntlirnp'8 Requirement*. The State, Friday: President D. B. Johnson and Dr. Crawford, of the board of trustees of the "YVinthrop college. are in the city. They appeared before the committee on ways and means in regard to the appropriation asked for by the college this year. In speaking of it yesterday President Johnson said that the college was not v/vImo. KAirAn/4 Ho AtMirino 1 rnnupct in tho BViilg UC^ VUU ICO Ullgutui ... . ..W matter of the cost of the new dorml-| tory. Last year it asked for so much money and 100 convicts. The money! was given, but the convicts wete not. I The present request is merely to make up the difference. It seems that ihe.1 committee will unanimously recommend that the request be granted. The building of the new dormitory, which will provide quarters, the present building included, for 500 pupils, will be completed in ample time for the opening of the next session. It is being accomplished much cheaper than was expected. Diphtheria. The reporter learned from Dr. Walker yesterday, that the second child of the Smith woman, whose case was mentioned Wednesday, recovered from the attack of diphtheria with which it was suffering. The cases show the remarkable efficacy of the anti-toxine remedy in a way that leaves no room for doubt. When the doctor was first called to the woman's house, it was without any intimation as to what disease he would probably encounter. The moment he entered tne cauin ne realized that it was diphtheria, and upon examination of the patient saw that the ease was desperate; but hoped that it would last until next day. Another child was also suffering with the same disease. Dr. Walker hurried to Yorkville for some anti-toxine and returned without unnecessary delay. When he got back he found that the first child was dead and the second was in about . the same condition in which he left the i first. He injected anti-toxine. The next day the patient was much better. , "It was like lifting a drowning person . out of a pond of water," said the doc[ tor. In the meantime, still another ; child was showing symptoms and the I anti-toxine was injected into this one t also. Dr. Walker did not think yesteri day that there would be any more i deaths. It was only a question of antitoxine and he did not propose to allow , the children to die for want of that.

In the house, Tuesday, Mr. Dorroh, of Greenville, asked to present 15 long petitions from the operatives of 15 cotton mills of the state, protesting against any cotton mill legislation at this session. The petitions are from all parts of the state. They ask that there be no cotton mill legislation and that they be allowed to make their contracts as other citizens, and say that the conditions are not unsatisfactory. Letters are presented from physicians, who certify that they practice in mill communities and have a general practice, and that the health of children and others, so far as they can see, is fully as good in mill communities as elsewhere, and that they find no disadvantage to the health of the operatives from the fact that they work in the cotton mills. On motion of Mr. Dorroh all the petitions were ordered printed in the Journal for the use of the members. CliarleHlon Vole* 850.000. News and Courier, 22d: With one unanimous voice the city council of Charleston, at its meeting last night, voted an appropriation of $50,000 for the South Carolina Interstate and West Indian exposition. The question of an appropriation had been left to the ways and means committee, which reported favorably, and presented a bill to make a special 3-mill tax levy for that purpose. The bill was read bv title and, under a suspension of the rules, was passed to its second and third reading. A meeting of the council has been called for January 30, when the bill will be fully ratified. Not a word was spoken against the voting of the amount asked by the directors of the exposition, and the hearty and prompt response which was made indicates tne puise 01 me uny un this great project which has been undertaken. To Improve the Wateree, Washington correspondence Spartanburg Journal: Senator Tillman, of South Carolina, has submitted to the senate a petition from sundry citizens of Camden. South Carolina, asking for the improvement of the Santee and Wateree rivers of South Carolina. Upon request of Senator Tillman the petition was published in the Congressional Record, and will also be published as a document. The petition was referred to the senate committee on commerce. It is quite lengthy and sets out fully the need of a survey of the river from Camden to the mouth of the santee, wun a view tu lorinmg a. pi?ject for the improvement of the two streams so that there may be navigation for steamboats of six feet draft at low water. The petition is signed by some of the most prominent business men of Camden. Senator Tillman will try to secure the adoption of an amendment to the river and harbor bill in line with the wishes of these petitioners. South Carolina Tobacco. Washington correspondence News and Courier: Representative Norton, of the Sixth district, went to see Secretary of Agriculture Wilson today with regard to having statistics prepared of the agricultural industries of South Carolina prepared, especially of the tobacco crops. Although South Carolina is the youngest state, in the South in regard to growing tobacco, there were in the last year approximately 30,000,000 pounds of tobacco grown in the state, of which about 90 per cent, was grown in the Sixth district. At present South Carolina tobacco is not recognized in the world of trade, and if a shipper were to try to sell South Carolina tobacco as such it would be impossible to do so; but were the same tobacco sold as North Carolina or Virginia grown there would be no trouble at ah. That is because no statistics of the tobacco crop of South Carolina are printed by the agricultural department, which, however, sends records of the other states all over the world. At present the South Carolina tobacco growers ship their crops to some of the other states, where it is sola. Mr. -Norton thinks that were the department of agriculture to send out a record of the South Carolina tobacco this would be changed, so he is pulling every wire to have South Carolina recognized.

This lamp is manufactured by the Standard Oil company, a corporation which has money to burn as well as oil, but does not burn their money because they need it in their business. The Standard Co. handles no experiments; they cannot afford it. But they are manufacturing the B. & H. Lamp, because they have put it to all the tests that a lamp can be put to and found it to be all that could be desired. The B. & H. is a cheap lamp that is not made "cheap." They are low in price because the money of the S. O. Co., is behind it, and they can by the use of this money produce them at a low figure. The price is $1.75, and its the cheapest and BEST lamp ever put on this market.
