DH On Saturday, Methodist preacher in
Cincinnati stabbed, in quarrel about the
Sunday LAWN other words, for abusing man
who did not believe as he did. We are opposed
to this stabbing of brawling preachers. 1t would

public, to break both their jaws.

THE STATE FAIR.

A Columbia dispatch to the Ne,cs a'm Co"-
rier says that Mr.. d. p. Duncan, president
of the State Agricultural and Mechanical So
ciety, has issued an address to the members
of the Legislature inviting them to attend the
approaching State Fair ''the chief motive'
for the invitation being that the Agricultural
Society is "a petitioner for State aid" After
referring to the complaints which have been
made as to the proper use of past appropra-
tions Mr.. Duncan urges the great Importance
of members of the Legislature attending the
Fair to see with their town eyes the positive
beneticence and practical good achieved by
the annual State Fair and the State AssOcia-
tion." Mr.. Duncan refers to the leading OBJ
jects of the society, and their effect upon the
material interests of the farmer, the mechanic
and the manufacturer, and shows the good re-
suits that have been obtained from the annual
State fairs in the past. He points out some of
the great advances made in the agricultural
development of the State, and concludes with
a cordial invitation to all to attend the exhi-
hbition in November. The indications are
that the approaching fair will be in all re-
spects one of the very best ever held in the
State

the complaints made in referenceto to his books
at the March term.
Eleven indictments were placed in our hands
for consideration True bills were found in
nine of them, and no bills in two.
1t is proper for us, in this general present.
ment, to make some mention OF the general
condition of our county. Peace and good
order prevail throughout our borders. Good
feeling exists between the two races. The
financial condition of the county is good. Her
public school affairs are in very marked,
improved state a better spirit Of content
ment seems to pervade the whole community.
This is doubtless caused, in great measure,
by the abundant crops of all kinds, which
have been so literally vouchsafed to US during
the presnt year by the Giver of all good.
In closing this brief and imperfect report,
we return our thanks to the Solicitor and
other officers of the Court for the kind consld-
Grafton shown us. And, Your Honor per-
NIT us to express the qualification we feel
and in this matter we doubtless reflect the
sentiment of York county-that this term OF
the Court is 50 ably presided over by one OF
her own sons.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

THE ELECTION.

Only few more days will intervene De-
tween now and the election, which will be
on Tuesday next With no opposition county
ticket in the field the Democracy of York are
liable to become lukewarm on the subject and
conclude that there is no special necessity
for them to go to the polls. But we warn
them that the necessity exists for a full vote,
and we hope that all will see the Importance
of the contest and turn out in full force.
While it is true that there is no opposition
county ticket and no fears are entertained on
that score, yet the Republicans will rally to
man and poll their full strength for the Green
back State ticket and the Independent Con-
gressional candidate. TO offset this every
Democratic vote will be needed. Let not the
proud distinction that York has enjoyed for
the past six years as the banner Democratic
county, be clouded by Republican triumph
for the State and Congressional tickets, when
such a result can be easily averted if each and
every Democrat in the county will only 60 to
the polls and vote. Let not each man think
that his vote is not needed, but rather let
every one act as though the result depended
upon one vote. When you go to the polls
Without producing it you may not be permit
ted to vote. There is nothing servile in the
act. The head of the nation registered in New
York the other day, just as an humble citizen
in his shirt sleeves who Immediately preceded
him did, and the President will remain III
New York until the election for no other
purpose than to 60 to the polls with his regis
tration certificate in one hand and bunch OF
Republican tickets in the other to help per-
petuate Radical rule in this fair land. Ger
tainly this being the case every Democratic
voter in South Carolina will be inspired. on
Tuesday, next to throw aside all feeling OF
prejudice and rancor that may have grown
corrected inside the party lines, and cast his
ballot for a continuation of the benign govern
ment with which this State has been blest
since 1876! Read the article in another COL
umn from the Ne,cs and Courier, and address
ed to the Voters of the Fifth District, and
vote for Hemphill! Contrast the present era
of peace and prosperity under Democratic
rule with the dark days of Radicalism and
Robbery, and vote the Democratic ticket
headed by Hugh S. Thompson And by all
manner of means don't forget to vote against
the proposed Constitutional amendment pro-
vidng for reduction of the area of counties.
The fallacy of this movement has been fully
shown in these columns, and we here deem it
only necessary to remind the voters of the
Importance of expressing their preference OH
this important subject.

GENERAL POLITICAL NOTES.

- The Cincinnati Enquirer says that every
Republican candidate for Congress in Ohio
who advocated high tariff was beaten.
- Jay Hubbell hopes for ut least four anti
Democratic Congressman from North Caro-
lima.
- The next United States Senate will proba-
bly, stand 80 Republicans, 3G Democrats and
: Virginia Readjusters, which fact will proba-
bly, make the two feel their Importance, as
they hold the balance of power.
- Says the Philadelphia Record: There is
no doubt that General Butler has fighting
chance to carry Massachusetts this year. He
has weak opponent, an off year, and body
of Republican disaffection to help him pull
through. Besides, for the first time the Dem
ocrats, short-hairs and swallow-tails are
marching solidly behind him.
-. The New York Times thinks that the only
way for the Republicans to redeem in some
degree, the doubt and desperation of their
next National campaign, is the repeal of the
miscellaneous war taxes now levied in the in
ternal revenue, and fair commencement Of
the revision of the tariff by reducing the
duties on L. material and necessaries, and a
decided extension of the free list.
- The talk in Washington is that Butler
has an excellent chance of being Governor of
Massachusetts, carrying with him gain of
two congressman that Folger will he defeat
ed by 10000 majority in New York that the
Democrats will control the Illinois Legisla-
ture and elect successor to David Davis !;
that Nebraska and Colorado are revolving
against Republican rule; that Iowa will have
three Democrats in Congress, as we'll as Wis

THE NEW COUNTY AMENDMENT.

The tickets for the general election have
been received and will be distributed from
Walhalla. Eight thousand have been sent
to this county, one half with eyes" printed
opposite the constitutional amendments and
the other half with "No" opposite the one
proposing to reduce the area of counties and
''Yesn as to the two other amendments. We
hope no one will vote Eyes" on the county
area ticket and think the best use such tickets
could be put to would be to start fire. We
consider the action of the Legislature in pro-
posing such an amendment most unwise as
we'll as most detrimental to the Democratic
party now, and, if adopted, for years to come.
Strife, confusion, division will spring up in
every county and section where new counties
are proposed, and such thing as Democratic
unity will be thing of the past. Such will
be the result, in our opinion, OF the adoption
of this amendment on our political future,
while in point of economy and the real inter-
ests and prosperity of the State the detriment
will be greater still.
The adoption or rejection of this amend
ment by the popular vote will depend on the
Radical vote. The Democrats are divided Oh
it, the majority, we think, being opposed to
it, so that to carry it the Radical vote will be
necessary. We believe, and as to this county
we are reliably informed, that the Radical
vote will be "Yes' on this amendment.
This is natural, as it's effects will be to give
that party greater strength in the Senate and
more of the local county offices. If they vote
it's adoption we hope and trust there will be
enough of the next Legislature opposed to its
adoption to defeat it on the final vote.
Before it was made question by the ac-
ton of the extraordinary session we had
enough of grounds of division in this party
without adding another at this time. 1t is
however before us and we must defeat it if
possible and then defeat every man who in
the extra session voted for it. The session
had better never been called than to have act
ed on this matter. The State could better
lose every Democratic Congressman than to
have thrown this frebrand into party already
distracted and divided by numbers at this
time Of imprudent even if wise measures un-
der other circumstances. Let us as a county
put ourselves OH record against it and we can
feel we have done our duty, even if our oppO-
sition prove fruitless.- - Walhala Courier.

election, as we can clearly prove to the salts
faction of both the members, by certain cir
cumstances and dates, if they desire their
memory refreshed.
But we think for the present we have snf-
fciently shown up the translucency of Mr..
Sutton. His statements are both thin and
transparent. Our statement of the facts in
the case are now before the public. There
may be some question of veracity as between
onrsef and Mr.. Alexander G. Sutton but
with those to whom we are both known we
cheerfully leave the verdict.

TIlE Jersey LILY.

Every body has heard of Mrs. Langtry, the
sJersey Lily" professional beauty, and said
to be one of the most beautiful women in the
world. She has just arrived in America to
play theatrical engagement, and the illustra-
ted papers contain portraits of the celebrated
woman. We confess that wood engraving
is not the best medium through which to con-
vey female beauty but after making full al
lowance for defects of the graver's art, if the
published pictures of the Jersey Lily'' are at
all correct, Yorkville can produce a bevy of
girls, and score of matrons any of whom are
more handsome than this professional beauty.
1t must he remembered however, that York
vile is noted for it's beautiful women.

RAILROAD ASSESSMENTS.

The State Railroad Board OF Equalization,
at it's meeting in Columbia, on the 25th ulti-
mo, assessed the various railroads in the State.
| The highest assessment was placed on the
Northeastern Railroad at $4,000 per mile.
The lowest assessment-S2,0 900 per mile-was
made on the Spartanburg and Ashevlle, the
Cheraw and Chester, and the Cheraw and Sal
isbury roads. The Chester and Lenoir was as
sessed at $500 per mile.
TAX LEVY.
The County Commissioners have levied the
following tax for the fiscal year ending Octo'
ber 81, 1888: For ordinary county purposes,
3 mills; for railroad purposes, 1 7-10 mills,
making total of 47-1O mills. For the period
covered by the levy the county will derive
s., $50, being three semi-annual payments
from lessees of the road, which reduce by
that amount the sum heretofore raised for
railroad purposes by taxation.
POLLING PLACES.
In Yorkville the polls will be opened for the
State election, in the ''record'' room, on the
south side of the Court House; and for the
Congressional election, in Mr.. j. Ed. Jefferys'
shop, on Jefferson street. Remember that
when you have voted at the polls at the Court
House, an equally important ballot-that for
Congressman-must be deposited at the polls
in Jefferys' shop. Do not neglect the Con-
gressonal election because it is conductedsep-
aratey and apart from the State election.
