TAX COLLECTING.

The County Treasurer gives notice this week
that he will commence collecting State and
county taxes on the 18th instant and close on the
Goth Of October,
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1880-09-09

to admit of as little litigation as possible. He
said the State penitentiary should he self
supporting, and in preference to hiring out
convicts to railroads, he would, under proper
regulations, put them to repairing the public
roads and highways, but to perform this labor
without an increase of taxation. He then
closed by referring to a probable contest that
might ensue between the parties in this State,
urging the Democracy to do their whole duty.
The chairman then introduced
CAPT. IREDELL JONES.
Can't. Jones alluded to the fact that while
he was an eastern man addressing the people
of the western part of the county, he appeared
before them with no sectional feeling. He
was proud of every portion OF our glorious
county of York, and the high opinion he had
previously formed of the people of the western
side had only been strengthened by his better
acquaintance with them. AS candidate ask
ing the sutfrages of the people for seat in the
House of Representatives,, he would promise
to represent all portions of the county and all
classes of people to the best of his ability and
for the true interest of all. He took the posi-
tion that every citizen should be protected III
his rights-the doctrine with which the DEM
Ocratic party started out in 1876, and which
they should still maintain. There being no
special issue before the people, it is difficult to
speak on political topics, only in a general way,
and equally embarrassing to make pledges
when no specific questions are presented.
Though engaged in agricultural pursuits, and
never having appeared in public life, yet his
record as citizen is before the people, and to
that he said he was willing to refer as pledge
of his fidelity to the people. He had been true
to them in the war and since the war, and
should so continue. He alluded to the over
lures of emissaries of the Greenback party in
this county. lie thought it best for Demo
Gratis to stay out of that party. For the pres
ent financial policy of the country the Demo
Gratis are in nowise responsible, and after the
Democratic party shall have come i'll power,
should they be successful in this campaign,
will he the proper time to discuss questions of
finance which affect not State, but the pa-
tion and more properly pertain to national
politics. He however thought the oyertures

police committee, and that the SAID committee,
as constituted with the above new members,
be requested to meet on the battle-ground on
Saturday, September 18th, at II O'Clock, A. NJ,
for the purpose of devising rules and regula-
tions for the police government of the celebra-
ton. Adopted.
Col. Ivy offered the following:
Resolred, That all persons having revolu-
tionary relics of the battle of Kings Mountain,
be directed to deliver the same to Rev. Robert
Latham, of Yorkville on or before the lst OF
October next, to be exhibited on the occasion
of the approaching centennial celebration.
Resolred, That committee offour members
of this Association, including the Rev. Mr..
Latham as chairman, be appointed to take
special charge of all relics delivered to them,
and to return the same in good condition to
those who may contribute them.
Resolred That we appeal to all who can do
so, to respond to this call, as the exhibition OF
such relics will greatly enhance the interest of
the general public in the celebration.
Tie resolutions were adopted, and in con-
formity with the second, the chairman appoint
ed as the members of the committee to act with
Rev. Mr.. Latham, DR.. A. p. Campbell, DR..
A. F. Hambright and Mr.. Emanuel Patterson.
1t having been stated in the meeting that a
petition of citizens would be presented to the
commissioners of York county, praying that a
new road be opened leading from certain points
to the battle ground, thereby shortening the
distance of the main road from Yorkville to
Shelby, it was moved by Col. Ivy and adopted,
that this Association join the petitioners in
their prayer.
1t was moved and adopted that the COM
mittee on military be requested to make a
special appeal to the Governor and Adjutant
General Of North Carolina to secure as large
an attendance Of the military of that State as
possible.
Mr.. Dilling moved that the meeting adj
journ to meet in the town of Kings Noun.
tain, at o'clock A. NJ, on the 2lst OF Sep
tember instant. The motion was adopted and
the meeting adjourned accordingly.

MR.. Npruance Withdraws as Coun.
seI In q Case-A ''Habeus Corpus"
writ Granted for George Hagany
altns ssSlim JIm''-Pr0Kress OF the
Kennedy VS.. Woodrow Siander
Case
Specially reported for the Republican.
New CASTLE, May goth.
The court convened at 10 O'Clock,
Chief Justice Comegys and Associate
Houston on the bench.
After the presentation of several petit
tions on a variety of cases MIR. Spruance
stated that yesterday the case of A.
H ancs, assignee &c. vs.. Wells x wife
called and that owing to the absence OF
material witness very aged and in.
firm lady who will never probably be
able:.to come into Court, he was compel
| led to submit the case to referees. He
did not know at all that the lady refer
red to was so infrm or he wonld have
been fully prepared for the case. Since
that time the defendant in the case Mr..
Walls has expressed great dissatisfac'
tion at the result and wants the case to
be reopened.
This proposition Mr.. spruance said
had been accepted by Mr.. Lore counsel
for plaintiffs who agree to let the case
come to trial. He therefore asked
that the request of his client be COM
| piled with, but ne at the same time de-
sired to be allowed to withdraw as
counsel for the defendant. The court
granted the request.
J. Frank Ball, Esq, as counsel for
George Hagany, alias "Slim Jim,"
made application for writ Of "habeus
corpus" returnable forthwith. The
motion Of Mr.. Ball for a writ was
granted.
Mr.. Booth assistant counsel for the
plaintiff in the case Of Kennedy Va.
Woodrow for slander, commenced his
argument before the court at 1925, ci.
ting numerous references to sustain The
plaintiffs action.
At this writing IL o'clock Mr.. Booth
is still addressing the Court citing ref
erenoes. He has yet to argue the case
before the jury, after which the Court
will probably charge the jury thereby
occupying the whole forenoon.

1.IA. WATER WmEAL.

sounn Facts about the New Pump
Ing Machine at City Mill station
The new water wheel at city mil.
pumping station is now ready for WORK
and as scon as the north basin OF Cool
Spring Reservoir is cleaned out tht
water will be turned on and the capaci-
ty Of the new apparatus will bs tested
There is but little doubt that 1t will do
what is expected.
The new wheel is decided improve
mept over the one whose place 1t will
I'LL, being Of the most improved and sub
stantial make, and furnished, by R. D..
Wood g. Company, well-known pump
mskers of Philadelphia. The old wa
ter wheel went to pieces last summer
it will be remembered, and the contract
for a pew wheel was awarded to Messrs
Wood & Company by the water commit
tee on Friday, August 22nd.
By the terms of this contract wheel
was to be erected at City Mill pumping
station, Of Jonval Turbine make, and
to be in working order in ITO days
from the date Of the contract, together
with two pumps. 1t was to absort
1900 cubic feet Of water per minute
aud to be capable Of lifting in to Coo
Spring Reservoir 100000 gallons o
water every "a hours.
The new wheel, when compared witt
what its predecessor was, presents
striking contrast and in the amount o
work it will do is decided improve
ment. The old wheel could only lif
90O,0 gallons Of water per day int
the reservoir. After the contract wa
made arrangement was entered int
that the wheel could be retained if |
could raise 1900, 900 gallons, and tina
it would be promptly rejected unles
its capacity was fully that.
The cost of the wheel and two pump
is 1896, being the contract price. Blu
considering the extra work necessar.
about the station, such as making
the connections, &C., the total amoun
which the new wheel will cost the Cit.
will be about $4,000 and possibl.
more.
The wheel will pump directly int
Cool Spring Reservoir through 2Ojncl
main on Sixteenth street.
At present the Worthington pump il
being repaired by workmen from th'
Harlan & Hollipgsworlh Company, an(
the city is using the supply Of waite
held in reserve at Cool Spring.
