Many expressions from the Prescott the
State, and other sources lead US to believe
that there will be an effort made, at this
session, to call State Convention to get up
new Constitution. This movement is
ili-timed and out OF place. Our people are
tax-riddcn to death, and have been iegisla-
ted to death, and the idea of spending one
or two hundred thousand dollars in. doing
what could be done otherwise so cheaply,
is preposterous. The Constitution itself
provides for the remedy, and that is suffi-
righted and changes made, it -ise'true, but
the mode proposed is q remedy worse than
the disease. = In the present attitude of af-
fairs the best policy is to make haste by GO
ing slow. There is no need now of the pro-
posed convention. ~

A bill has been introduced in the interest
of the Union Pacific, which has for its nom
de plume, the Southern Pacific. I say nom
de plume, for it will never be built. Its
only effect will be to destroy the prospects
ofthe Texas and Pacific in the interests of the
Union Pacific.
That bill was introduced by Mr.. Money
of Mississippi. will simply say it created
much surprise among his Southern ascot
ates in Congress. That bill does NOT ash
for Endorsement of bonds, but does ask the
land grant of the Texas Pacific road.
1t Ia well known fact that the Union
Pacific has not been able Tor willing ?) TO
pay interest upon her bonds. Then how
can she build another road?
The truth is, the bill if passed will simp
defeat the 32nd parallel, and even if it were
ever built it would be i'm the interest of the
Union Pacific, and with the privilege of. es-
tablishing their own rates OF tariff and con-
tinuing the existing monopoly.
we know that Mr.. Money is in favor of a
Southern trans-cOntinental road We know
him to be for any thing that will advance the
interests Of his own State, that is legitimate.
we know that all the rest of the Mississippi

ANOTHER REPLY TO "a VOTER

FORT MILL S. c., June 7, 1878.
A few weeks ago, I gave, through the EN-.
oU1RER, my opinionas to primary elections
but did not give il for the purpose of pro.
voking controversy In the ENQUIRER of
the 3Oth ultimo, however, there is an article
over the signature of "a Voter" from Rock
Hill, who says that Fort Mill and few 9TH
ers have the indubitabie right, to insist upon
the present regime as being entirely accepta.
bic. In this, "A Voter" desires to inform me
that I am greatly mistaken, and then branch
es off on the delegation from York having
received $500 per day, when they should
have received only $500. think if "a
Voter" will try, he can find that the delega-
tion from York voted every time for $500 per
day, in place of $500.
He next speaks of the York delegation be-
ing good, clever men, but says they remained
too long at the Capital, quibbling, and then
proceeds to instruct us as to what sort Of men
we should have. Now, as to that, l think our
entire delegation was that sort of men. l
think he does them a great injustice; for if
be will look at the condition our State was
in, from the rule we had been under, our DEL
egation had but poor opportunity to obtain
the information that they required to get
along with the work rapidly-the most of
them being new members.
"a Voter" writes as though the York DEL
egation constituted the entire Legislature /;
could fix the per diem at what amount they
pleased, and adjourn at will.
As to what he says in regard to the pri-
mary system, I will not reply to that, for it is
not with him or myself to decide the ques-
tion. That will be for decision by the dele
gates when they meet in convention. |
should not have had anything to say, if be
had not charged our delegation with remain
ing so long at the Capital, receiving $500
per day, doing nothing, as he says, when it
was not within their control to do otherwise
they being very small part of the Legisla-
tive body. think "a Voter" and his hun
dreds should be a little more lenient.
As to more cotton being required to pay
taxes this year than was required under Rad
ica rule, I do not think the Legislature had
anything to do with the price of cotton ; but
that the farmers themselves are to blame for
that, and should receive dose of "Voter's"
prescription for the man that won't serve his
country, if they still persist in it.

NOTES FROM A SUBURBAN VILLAGE.

GARNER lOWN, June ~, 1910.
AS several towns of York county are seek
ing fame through the columns of the EN-
oU1RER, we see no reason why our locality
suburban village of Yorkville-should not
come in for its share of fame.
Garner Town, as tradition informs US, first
took its name from the aborignes of this Sec
ton. 1t is situated four miles north of York
vile, on the Kings Mountain road, in plain
view of the historic mountain, ever remind.
ing US of the glorious victory achieved over
Ferguson by our forefathers in their struggle
for independence.
We have new Methodist church, of which
Rev. L. A. johnson is pastor. He is highly
esteemed by all who know him as Christian
gentleman, Jealous in doing good work and
promoting the cause Of religion.
In point of industrial pursuits, we can
boast of blacksmith shop, conducted by
Mr.. w. F. Garner. He is skillful mechan-
ic and valuable citizen. We have also q
wood shop in charge of Mr.. W. j. Branch, a
skllful mechanic, who thoroughly under
stands his business We have also two tail
ors-Messrs. George Phillips and VIM. Dick
son-who, in addition to their profession of
adorning the human form, devote some at.
tention to agriculture. Oar shoe. maker is
Mr.. David Stephenson, who, besides being a
veritable artist in leather, devotes portion
of his time to the more profitable occupation
of farming. Besides other industrial inter-
ests, Mr.. VIM. H. Quinn, one of our promi-
nent citizens, has recently erected mill and
gin.
We have two schools in operation. One is
taught by Miss Mollie Brown, an amiable
and accomplished young lady and a compe-
tent teacher. By mingling gentleness with
frmness, she succeeds in winning not only the
obedience, but the confidence, respect and
esteem of her pupils. The other school is
taught by Mr.. E. P. Castles His ability as
teacher is widely known.
The principal products of our soil are cot
ton and tobacco, though corn, wheat and
oats are extensively cultivated.
We are most happy to say that we have
comparatively few bachelors. We have, how
ever, goodly number Of gallant young men,
who are just ripening into manhood. Pretty
girls Well, that's subject we can talk
over If only one wishes to behold some of
Natures fairest specimens of female beauty
we would respectfully refer him to Garner
Town and vicinity.
In this brief article, I have mentioned on.
ly some of the most prominent citizens of our
community, and l hope none will feel offend
ed if they have not been brought to notice
for though our boundary is large, none of
our townsmen know the exact location of its
! limits. .IoNY'

A MAN WHO WAS HANGED ONCE.

A gray haired and decrepit prisoner arrived
here from the West, Thursday night, in charge
of Detective R. A. Kincade, of Olney, ILL.,,
and J. Stone, ex.Sheriff of Putnam county,
Indiana. The old man was lodged in our
city Jail, and last evening he resumed his
journey toward Perryville, Boyle county,
Kentucky, where he is wanted for having
murdered an old and helpless lady in cold
blood, on the night of the 18th day of April,
twelve years ago.
In 1866, John Taylor lived near Danville,
Kentucky, and enjoyed the luxuries of good
health, little care, fair means of living, and
a large family. His son, William Taylor,
was indicted by the grand jury Of Boyle
county, for robbing country dwelling and
stealing some goods. One of the principal
witnesses in bis case was Mrs. Mary Bolton, a
widow, who lived in farmhouse, with no
other companion than little granddaughter.
On the morning of the 18th of April, that
year, the old lady was found dead in her bed,
with bullet-hole in her head, and the bed
clothes drencbed with blood. At first the
horror seemed likely to remain mystery, till
the little granddaug whom fright, for
long time, rendered mute, said that she awoke
about - o'clock the night before, and saw
two men in the room whom she readily recog-
nized as John Taylor and his son William.
She knew their presence meant mischief, and
she quietly covered herself up with the bed.
clothes. She heard the rifle shot that killed
her grand mother, but was paralyzed, and
so gave no sign. The men did not discover
her.
At once, the father and son were placed
under arrest. The prisoners were forcibly
taken from the officers, carried to the woods,
and hung to tree. The crowd remained
only long enough to complete their work, as
they supposed. By some possibly,
through defect in the rope-the old man
was allowed to fall to the ground shortly after
the mob left, and there he lay for several
hours. He finally recovered the use of bis
limbs, but not of his mind, and went wan.
dering. He was recaptured and escaped. He
made for Illinois and found safety in the
swamps of Egypt for nearly year. Thence
he went to Cooper county, Missouri, thence to
Kansas, thence back to southwest Missouri,
thence to Burbane county, Kansas, thence to
Vernon county, Missouri, where he made his
final settlement, near the town of Nevada,
Vernon county. At each of the above places
he spent year or two, leading the wretched
life of squatter; but at the last place he
met with some success in tilling patch of
ground. There he was detected. He has
daughter living in Kentucky, and FIVE sons
in-law, some of whom live in Mssouri.-&.

we wish (the wish is evil, for one deemed al
