Jjtrajjjs anil Jacts. ? The noted dynamite cruiser Vesuvius, which used to cough thunderbolts around Santiago some years ago, is about to be consigned to the naval junk pile. The three fifteen inch pneumatic tubes and all the Intricate machinery of the unique craft are to be taken out, discarded as useless, and sold, while the hull of the vessel is to be put to some other purpose. The vessel is now out of commission. It has been for most of the time since the Spanish war, during which it participated in the blockade of Santiago, and did work of more or less controversy, the Pneumatic Gun Carriage and Power company, who owned the patents for the dynamite guns, claiming that the craft worked havoc with the coast defenses, while naval officers have not hesitated to sa^r that the vessel proved worthless in that campaign/ The Vesuvius represents an outlay of $350,000. ? TKa m-oot war cama that was com menced on the north. Atlantic coast, last Wednesday, between the "Blue squadron" under Admiral Higginson, and the "White squadron" under Commander Pillsbury, came to an end Sunday morning with the capture of the white squadron. Under the terms of the game Higginson was to defend the coast line, while Pillsbury was to attempt to enter a harbor. Higginson had the stronger squadron, and under the requirements of the game, had to confront Pillsbury with a superior force. Pillsbury undertook to run into Gloucester harbor; but as - ill luck would have it, found Higginson right at that point with a superior force and had to surrender. As the result of a decoy arrangement. Higginson had given orders to leave the harbor some hours before; but was unable to get away on account of a heavy sea outside. He won by pure luck. ? Greensboro, N. C., Record: A lady who sells valuable little things to other ladies dropped in at Farriss' drug store the other day and while trying to sell the proprietor some of her goods, keDt fondling certain and various things sitting on show cases and elsewhere. Finally she was seen to jerk her hand away from a little machine sitting as quiet and docile as a dead mouse on the counter. Then she bade Mr. Farriss adieu and departed rather hurriedly; so sudden, in fact, did she take her leave that it excited some comment. Pretty soon the cause was discovered. In fingering over the things around the store she shoved the tip of her finger into a cigar cutter and it was cut smooth, smack off in a jiffy?just the tip of the finger, but it left a little trinkle of blood behind. The incident so mortified her that she never chirped until she reached the house of a friend where she was stopping, then begged them not to tell it?and they didn't; of course not. ? The British Cotton Growing association, which with the hearty co-operation of the colonial secretary, Jos. Chamberlain, is striving to render the British empire independent of the United States, so far as raw cotton is concerned, is now paying special attention to upper Egypt, where, it is asserted, the association can develop a cotton belt dwarfing that of the southern states of America. Major Count ci^uw n* ijiieicnen. sevreuaij ui mc Egyptian forces. Major General Wingate. addressing the association at Manchester recently, said the experiments now concluded on the banks of the Nile show the quality of the cotton grown there to be the equal of any in the world. There are available 15,000,000 acres of irrigated land and the only difficulty is the labor supply, the Dervishes having depopulated the Soudan, but the completion of the Suakim-Berber railroad is expected to solve the problem, besides furnishing an outlet for the crop. ? York, Pa., tourists at Gettysburg yesterday became interested in a flock of crows near Devil's Den, when they discovered among the flock an albino, with pink beak and pink eyes, says a special of Friday to the Baltimore Sun. Guide R. F. Lott stated that the white crow is not a stranger to the battlefield. With his somber companions the bird visits the field year after year. This season he has been observed more frequently than at any previous time. His haunt seems to be near the Devil's Den, as he is seldom seen in any other locality. From time to time local ornithologists have tried to capture the bird, but he is too cunning for them. It appears that his black brethren stand sentinel, never failing to give warning of danger. The superstitious advance many curious theories regarding th? presence of the white-mantled bird. Some of them convince themselves that in the bird dwells the spirit of the many men who fell in the terrible conflict in the Devil's Den, while others see in him an omen of perpetual peace. ? j^iiiuoiri, iNtru., u jspiiicii, s\u&uz>i ?-i. Like Babylon of old. the United States is destined to have its fall, with the Republican party in the role of Belshazzar, the responsible factor in its undoing. This is the pessimistic prediction of W. J. Bryan, who warns government leaders that there will be a dismal awakening if national policies are not changed. In his Commoner, of today, Mr. Bryan says:_ "Just now the Republicans are rushing headlong into new conditions, and are leading the country into untried paths. They are sure that we can maintain a republic here and at the same time administer a colony in the Orient. They are sure that they can safely encourage the growth of private monopolies, notwithstanding the inevitable tendency of man to use power for his own selfish purposes. They are allowing United States judges to abuse the writ of injunction when asked against laboring men. while those who violate the antitrust laws go free, blind to the fact that such discrimination makes more anarchists than all the speeches ever delivered by Herr Most." o New Orirles Beckcrimes are ks of this is nearing in Quentin ry of Waris authoriBecker rea pension of $500 a month from the American Bankers' association, in return for which he must make oath that he will "be good."

Now that the first primary has classified the situation, during: the next two weeks the second race candidates will buckle down to business and no foolishness. The total vote of the state in the first primary of two years ago, was 92,440, and in York county 3,029. York voted for governor as follows: McSweeney, 1,316; Hoyt, 1,183; Gary, 465; Patterson, 121; Whitman, 4. It is to be hoped that the committees charged with the work-of getting up a roll of York county's Confederate soldiers by townships will take up the matter with energy and determination and not cease their effort until they have included every name in the record. The county canvass, which closed last Saturday, has been one of the cleanest that has occurred in this section for years. There were some appeals to prejudice in the legislative race: but so far as is known all the candidates are exonerated from being parties to it. Stories are being clrcWfa^ed as to the alleged insanity of the young king of Spain. It is related that when a high church dignatary showed him among the precious religious relics what is generally believed by the Spaniards to be a toe-nail that belonged to St. Peter, and a lock of hair from the head of St. Paul, the king said he did not believe any such rot. Young Alfonso may be insane; but it will be necessary to get up better proof than this against him before the Protestant world can be induced to believe the fact. The country has been watching with considerable interest the result of the naval war game on the North Atlantic coast, in which it was demonstrated that the squadron under Commander Pillsbury was unable to make a landing against the squadron under Admiral Higginson. It is noted that the naval people are making much to do over Admiral Higginson's success in the test, and the people along the New England coast are feeling more secureagainst possible attack in the case of foreign war. That commander Pillsbury conducted his assault ably, and that Admiral Higginson is entitled to congratulation, we have no doubt: but at the same time we would suggest a repetition of the trial along the South Atlantic coast. The defenses of this locality are not nearly so secure as are those of New England; but the foreign invader who secures a landing down this way would probably be able to give our New England friends as much annoyance as if he should go ashore higher up. Although the people of South Carolina are generally agreed as to the justice and propriety of making as liberal provision for Confederate soldiers ' as the state can afford, there is no doubt about the fact that this pension matter is growing really serious. The 1 problem, as we see it, is not how much the state can afford to appropriate each year; but how should it be distributed. The sum awarded to each beneficiary 1 out of a $200,000 appropriation seems to be very little if any larger than it used to be out of a $50,000 appropriation, and ' by the same rule there is not much reason to believe that there would be a great deal of difference if the appropriation should be made $500,000. The original idea of the appropriation and according to the letter of the law, its 1 present intent, is to provide especially for needy veterans and their widows. It has never been the purpose of the 1 lawmakers to foster the idea that this pension appropriation is merely in the 1 nature of a gratuity to old soldiers because of their service in the war. If that were the purpose of the law. there would be no specifications as to the : condition of the people entitled to re1 ceive its benefits. That such people as are specified in the law should re1 ceive the benefits provided for them, there is no ground for contention: but that these benefits should not be extended to all classes, regardless of ac tual needs, is equally clear. Aimougn we have no figures to quote on the subject, we believe it to be a fact that fully two thirds of the property of South Carolina today, is held by exConfederate soldiers. These citizens have acquired this property mainly by hard, intelligent work, and self denial, and to take away from these for the purpose of a common distribution among others who may have had equal opportunities to acquire property for themselves, is manifestly unfair. The case seems to be too plain to call for extended argument, and taking into consideration the whole situation, theiv seems to be no doubt of the fact that the real problem with the general assembly is not how much money to appropriate for pensions; but how to secure a just and equitable distribution of such amount as it does appropriate.

We present today in tabular form a complete detailed statement of the result of yesterday's primary election in York county. From this table it will be seen that the voters came very near settling all the questions presented at one sweep, leaving only one race for a second primary. The nominees for the house of representatives are: P. D. Barron, J. E. Beamguard, J. R. Haile and F. P. McCain. W. B. Williams Is recommended for auditor. ^ The county commissioners are Capt. E. A. Crawford and Mr. D. G. Stanton. Mr. T. W. Boyd and Mr. T. G. Culp will run a second race for county supervisor. THE TIRZAH CAMl'MEETING. There was another large crowd at the Tirzah campmeeting last Saturday, particularly in the afternoon: but there was disappointment on account of the failure of the candidates to be on hand according to promise. \ Col. W. J. Talbert and Mr. James Cansler were the only two candidates present. Col. Talbert made a lengthy speech, reciting in full his platform as he has been advertising it in the various newspapers throughout the state. Mr. Cansler declined to speak for the same reason given at the Yorkville meeting. Mr. T. B. Glenn, of the committee on arrangements, called up The Enquirer on Saturday, and said that he had made a mistake In his statement that all of the senatorial candidates, except Col. Elliott, had promised him to be present. He said that he had also failed to see Mr. Henderson, and therefore, had no specific promise from that gentleman. Although the meeting was quite a success in point of attendance, and in the manner in which the visitors were Looked after by the committee, there ?? " ?

The rainfall which commenced about 7.30 o'clock yesterday morning made it rather disagreeable about the perils. The town council has a good force of hands at work on King's Mountain street under the superintendence of Policeman Mendenhall. ? Election excitement has been about up to the average in Yorkville during the past week. There has been more or less betting on the result, principally of the gubernatorial race. ? Mr. P. M. Grimes has sent The Enquirer a copy of the 129th anniversary edition of the Baltimore American. It contains a facsimile of the first number, issued Friday, August 20, 1773. ? Mrs. E. S. Herbert, who is traveling under the auspices of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union of South Carolina, made an interesting talk in Trinity church last Wednesday evening on the subject of temperance. The talk was along general temperance lines and looked forward to the formation of a temperance organization in Yorkville, especially among the children. Mrs. Herbert was very well pleased with the encouragement she received in Yorkville. ? The election at the Yorkville precinct yesterday was unusally quiet. The local politicians, who have been giving the closest attention to the situation, were generally of opinion that the vote would be rather larger than usual. There was a well-defined feeling, however, that there was really very little interest in the election and this proved correct. Many voters came to town with no definite idea as to whom they would vote for, outside of senator, congressman, governor and the candidates for county officers. As a rule the minor state offices went by default, the fewest number of voters having any definite choice for as many as two or more. There was some whisky in evidence: but not a great deal, and taken altogether, the voters were well behaved and orderly. HATH OF HENRY KELLER. Mr. Henry Heller died suddenly, at his home, on the King's Mountain road, two-and-a-half miles north of Yorkville last Saturday morning at 4.20 o'clock. He had been feeling about as usual and arose according to custom to feed his stock. As he passed from his room into the hall, he fell to the floor, and his son. Mr. Wistar Keller, who huried to his assistance, found him in a dying condition. He passed away without speaking. His death was due to appoplexy. Mr. Keller was a native of Switzerland, having been born in the canton of Zurich on December 4, 1S30. At the time of his death, therefore, he was aged 71 years, 8 months and nine days. As he grew up he had the advantage of a good common school education, and from his sixteenth to his nineteenth year served his apprenticeship at shoemaking, which was then a flourishing business. He continued to work at his trade in Switzerland until he was 22 years of age, when he moved to France and worked there for four years, after which he set sail for America. arrlvine- in Npw Ynrk- in Alienist 1857. From New York he came to Charleston, and from there came to Yorkville, arriving the following October. He worked at his trade in Yorkville until n few months previous to the outbreak of the war, when he returned to Charleston, and although not yet a citizen, and in nowise compelled to do so. because he believed the cause was right, he entered the Confederate service. This was in February, 1861. He was first a member of Company A. Ninth S. C. V.. and in July, 1862, secured a transfer to Company A. Fifth, S. C. V.

Each of the gubernatorial candidates expressed himself on Monday as to how he would fare in Tuesday's election. They are quoted as follows: Colonel Jim Tillman: "I am perfectly confident I will be the next governor of South Carolina. It may not be possi- * ble for me to win in the first primary, though I may; I will not be many votes shy of a clear majority. I am sure of winning in the second primary." Captain D. Clinch Heyward: "I am going to be elected. To my mind there is no doubt of the result. I will defeat whichever of my opponents lb in the second primary with me. I regard my position by long odds the most favorable and I shall win." < Congressman W. Jasper Talbert: "I am sure to win. I have had the crowds with me everywhere, and I have conducted a winning campaign. I don't know who else is in the second primary, and I don't care. I'll get the most votes in the second primary." Solicitor Ansel: "I feel that I have gained very largely during the cam- v paign and I am confident that if I get in the second primary I can be elect- x ed. I have a fair chance to be one of the two leaders in the first primary. Dr. Timmerman: "It is all guess work. No man can know for certain his strength or his chances. I have had assurances of support in all parts of the state and I believe I have a fair ?' chance. The race is not always to the man who claims loudest." MERE-MENTION.
