? 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

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.

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."

YORKVILLE, S. C.:
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 27^ 1902.
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.

YESTERDAY'S ELECTION.
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.

yrftJTHIN THE TOWN.
^The total vote at the Yorkville pre mct
in the first primary of two years
ago, was 632.
ir^The dispensary was closed during
trte progress of the election yesterday
except to "prescription" business.
? 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.

1857. From New York he came to

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

In the Blackjacks.
The attention of the reporter has
been called to the fact that Fort Mill,
Catawba, Ebenezer and Bethel are not
the only townships that can boast of
fine crops; Bethosda township is well
up with any of the others.
? Bcri* PlowInK.
Mr. Thornwell Crawford, of McConnellsville,
is one of the leaders of this
county in the matter of deep plowing
- and heavy fertilizing. As the result of
his deep plowing, he has about done
* away with terracing and gone back to
i. the ditching method of taking care of
i the water. Reports of his neighbors
'? are to the effect that he has the best
ir '
1 cotton crop in his locality and his corn
; crop is a marvel.
1 The Late Capt. Wra. Dunovant.
Mr. John Caldwell calls the attention
v of Thb Enquirer to the fact that it
was mistaken in the statement that
the late Wm. Dunovant lost his arm at
the second battle of Manassas. The
captain was wounded in the thigh at
Second Manassas," says Mr. Caldwell,
"but he lost his arm at the blowup at
Petersburg. I am sure of that, because
I was wounded there myself. Captain
Dunovant, who was then the orderly
sergeant of our company, was brought
into the hospital a few minutes after
I reached there, and I saw the surgeons
cut off his arm."

Waived Preliminary.
The preliminary examination that
was to have been held at Rock Hill on
Monday in the case of the State vs. J.
r. Thomasson, charged with assault 1
and battery on Mr. Walter Simpson,
lid not materialize. It was waived by
the defendant, who preferred that the
case be heard in the circuit court on
Its merits. There is much interest in
the matter and not a little strong feeling.
W. B. Wilson, Esq., represents
the defendant, and Major James F.
Hart the prosecution. T. F. McDow,
Esq., advised with the defendant on
Monday. There were quite a number
of Lesslie people in Rock Hill to hear
the proceedings, and it is understood
that a petition is in circulation asking
the governor to remove Mr. Thomasson
from his position as dispensary
constable.

THEIR LAST WORDS.
How the Gubernatorial Candidates
Saw It Monday.
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."
