THE sIMMs MONUMENT.

The Rock Hill Herald reminds the editors
ofa duty imposed upon them at the meeting
of the Press Association, last May, when it
was resolved by that body that every editor
in the State should become committee of
one to solicit subscriptions, to the amount of
$50 in each county, for the purpose of paying
the balance due on the Simms monument, the
bust part of which has been finished in New
York more than year and not shipped be-
cause the artist has not been paid. Capt.
Ivy, of the Herald, has assumed the collection
of half of the above amount in this county,
and leaves it to US to collect the other half.
Wetherefore give notice that we are prepared
to receive and forward such sums as the ad-
mirers of MI. Simms may feel disposed to
contribute for the object in view. Mr..
Simms' reputation as writer and historian is
national, and yet the people Of bis native
State are slow to recognize his worth by erect
ing over his last resting place a tribute in
honor Of 30 illustrious man. We hope the
appeal will meet generous response, and
feel assured that Yorkville and vicinity will
not fall behind our neighboring town of Rock
Hill, in subscribing the required sum.

THE FAST SCHEDULE.

By the fast schedule on the Greenville and
Columbia Railroad, the Charleston papers
now reach Yorkville about eight hours earlier
than formerly, coming -via Greenville and
being delivered at o'clock, A. M, instead Of
being detained at Columbia and reaching here
in the afternoon, via Chester. This arrange.
ment is quite acceptable to the people Of
Yorkville; for besides receiving the Charles
ton papers at an earlier hour, business CORES.
pondence received in the morning can be an.
swered, via Greenvile on the afternoon of the
same day. This convenience, however, does
not seem to apply to GreeDville, as the mail
is delivered there at 10 o'clock at night, too
late for an answer to be returned by the mail
next morning. and hence four days are occu-
pied in the transmission of letter and its
reply on line that makes the trip in single
day. This fact is urged as an argument
against the new schedule, which does not seem
to meet the approval of the business men
along the line of the Greenville and Colum.
bia Railroad. :h. ..... ...
In this connection It is but due to remark
that the Columbia Register reaches Yorkville,
as heretofore, on the same day of publication,
anticipating the Charleston papers about IF.
teen hours. .. ...

YORK COUNTY COTTON.


The Charlotte Observer says that few days
ago firm in that city bought forty-eight
bales of cotton from York county, S. c.,
which, that paper adds, 10 pretty good, con
sidering the season. 1t is pretty good for the
farmers who carried it over from last year.
and what is better, We are inclined to the be-
lief that there are several bales more of the
staple hid away in various parts Of the county
"THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FENCE"
The writer of the following, who signs
himself "Maul and Wedge" and who evi'
dently regards the making of rails and build
ing fence a pleasant recreation, has handed
US the following short argument in favor Of
his theory, complaining, at the same time,
that he has seen nothing in the papers in op.
position to the proposed change. We "6x
up" his communication and print it with
pleasure, as follows: .....
1t seems to me that it is the aim of some
men to have as many poor people as possible,
and this fence matter is another dive to make
hireling slave. The State has good
many grumblers. They 90 for individual
government. Now, l honestly wish that all
the laboring men will think for themselves.
Come to your place of voting and stop the
inevitable injury. I say what l think.

ROCK HILL NEWS.

We clip the following items from the
Hampton Herald of last week: . -,
Mr.. John A. Shurley, of Ebenezer, met
with the serious accident on Tuesday night OF
having bis pistol to fire in his own hands. the
entire contents passing through his left hand.
He is said to be a great sufferer, and it is
feared that the hand may have to be ampu'
tated. 49,,
On Sunday before last, Lafayette Gillum,
a negro tenant living on the plantation of Mr.;
JEFF: Lumpkin, about i've miles north OF OF
Rock Hill. was found dead in bis house. 1t
seems that the unfortunate man had been in
bad health for several months, but was able
to work much of the time, and had spent most
of the day previous to his death in hoeing
cotton. Trial Justice Fswell summoned a
jury of inquest, whose verdict was that the
deceased came to his death from natural
causes. ''.''1 .' -'.''. '--'
