this section, leading us to the conclusion that
winter has begun in earnest Monday and

the warning that this will be severe win

FINE PORTRAIT.

Our Office is ornamented with fine oil por-
trait of the late John E. Grist, father Of
the proprietor of the ENQUIRER. Mr. GrlSt
was among the first printers that ever came to
Yorkvlle to enter into the business, having
been induced to come here by Messrs. Beatty
& Williams to print for them the York
vile Patriot This was in the year 1888,
and he remained here continuously, either as
publisher or employe in the printing business
until incapacitated by the intirmities OF age a
few years before his death, which occurred
on October 10, 1870. So closely identified with
the printing business in Yorkvlle as was he, it
was deemed meet and proper that his likeness
should be preserved in the ENQUIRER office, aud
Mr.. David L. Clark, an artist of celebrity, at
High Point, n. c., was commissioned to per-
petuate his features OH canvas. Though the
painting was made from an old Daguerreotype,
most truthfully did the artist perform his task,
and the result is picture highly satisfactory
to us, and one pronounced by connoisSeurs an
admirable work of art while those who re-
member the features depicted, pronounce it
a correct and truthful likeness.
Mr.. Clark is painter of rare ability. A
pupil of the famous Suly, his natural talent

X, NJ, MILITARY SCHOOL.

The friends of Kings Mountain Military
School at this place will be pleased to learn
that Col. Coward, the principal and proprietor,
has secured Gen. +. NJ. Law as associate
principal of the institution. Since the elec-
tion of Col. Coward as State superintendent
of education, it was necessary that he should
have the assistance of a competent person to
take the management of the school while his
attention might be called away in the dis
charge Of the duties of his new office. No
more competent gentleman than Gen. Law
could have been secured for the position.
Besides a thorough education and military
training. he also has the necessary executive
ability for conducting military school on the
same principles which have ever given Kings
Mountain prominence over all similar private
institutions for efficiency and thoroughness IN
all branches taught. A graduate of the Cita-
del Academyat at Charleston, the two years after
his graduation were devoted to teaching as an
assistant in Kings Mountain Military School.
He then removed to Tuskegee, Alabama, where
he established similar school. This enterprise
was successful until the war begun, when he
entered the service OF the Confederacy ana
made for himself name OF which any veteran
of the Lost Cause might feel proud. His
qualities as soldier, and his ability as an off,
Ger were conspicuous in the cause he espoused,
and his promotion was won, step by step, from
Lieutenant Colonel to Major-General, to which
last-named rank he was commissioned in the
last year of the war. Thoroughly conversant
with the methods of the school, with his we'll
known scholarship, experience and ability, tie
friends of the institution willnot be disappoint-
ed with this new arrangement, while Col. Cow
ard can now devote his energies in the discharge
of his duties as State superintendent of edu-
cation without uneasiness lest anything should

Col. MCCRADY.--T State of South Car
olina is under an obligation to this gentle
man for the conception and final passage of
the eight-box election law. There is no use
in mincing matters-it is essentially an edu-
eat iOnal qualification for suffrage. We ell
dorse it in toto, anl believe it will lead to the
grandest results. We believe in manhood sut-
frage, but every man must be able to read his
own ballot. This is the least qualification
than can be imposed This is all imperative
requirement of our civilization. This is the
grand centrifugal force which is going to
compel every man, white or black, to send his
children to school and pay his poll-tax. This
eight-box law is the harbinger OF peace, good
government and security and the establish
meut of an era of good will. Similar laws
are in force in various States, both North and
South, but COL McCrady was the first man
in South Carolina to conceive this bold and
heroic treatment for desperate disease in the
body polite. All honor to him for the grand
conception and when his days Of usefulness
shall end, let plain marble slab he erected
to his memory by the citizens of the State
commemorative of this just, plain and simple
Anplo-SaXon means Of defence. .-Aiken Recorder

THE REVENUE ESYsTEM.-There are ut least
ten thousand persons directly orindirectly con-
nected with the internal revenue system, and
thus subject to political influence, which sets
them all at work rs partisansat every succeed
ing election. This cost, the last year, in di-
rect expenses 5,10S,300 out of the public
treasury. If the whole system with it's otfl-
cials, spies, informers, inspectors and police
agents, could be abolished, no harm would
come to single legitimate interest through
out the country, md heavy hand would be
lifted from the homes of free people. With
this out of the way, at the opening of new
Congress, the tariff might be taken up with
out serious opposition, and modified so as to
be acceptable to the whole country.-N. Y.

The following beautiful poem by Henry
w. Longfellow, was written after the death
Of his wife in 1851, and has only now been
published
Alone walk the peopled city,
Where each seems happy with his own
Oh friends, I ask not for your pity.
l walk alone.
No more for me yon lake rejoices,
Though moved by loving airs of June;
Are out OF tune.
In vain for me the elm tree arches
Its plumes in many feathery spray;
In vain the evenings starry marches
And sunlit day.
In vain your beauty summer flowers;
We cannot greet these cordial eyes;
They gaze on other fields than ours.
On other skies.
The good is rifted from the Golfer,
The blade is stolen from the sheath;
Life has but one more boon TO offer
And that is-Death.
Yet well know the voice of duty
And therefore life and health must crave
Though she who gave the world its beauty
Is In her grave.
live, o lost one, for the living.
Who drew their earliest breath from thes
And walt until with glad thanksgiving
i snail De irSe-
For life to me is as a station
Wherein Rpart a traveller stands,
One absent long from home and nation
In other lands.
And l, as he who stands and listens,
Amid the twilight's chill and gloom,
To hear approaching in the distance
The train for home.
For Death shall bring another waiting,
Beyond the shadows of the tomb,
On yonder shore a bride Is waiting
Until come.
In yonder field are children playing,
Aud there-O vision of delight!
/ see the child and mother straying
In robes of white.
Thou, then the loving heart that breakfast
Stealing the treasures one by one,
l call thee blessed when thou makest
The parted-one.

begging him remember the old
friendship.
Only one of them did he answer,
ana that was the note from Tom

WAR HISTORY.

The FOUrthcOMlng History OF &'LHary 0ps-
rGtIoHs in Tennessee Request to
Ex-confoderate Captains.
To al Err Confederate Tennessee
GlptdiRS-In the course of next
spring, a full and complete military
history of Tennessee will be pub
| lished. This work is the result OF
much patient and faithful labor by
one well fitted by nature and train
ing for the undertaking. A valua-
BILE feature of the volumes will be
found in the lists of all officers and
privates killed or wounded in bat
tie. So far as the soldiers of the va
riouS wars, who belonged to the
United States service are concerned,
there is no difficulty in getting their
archives. On The other hand, of
the vast number whose lives were
given up in the defense of the Con-
Tolerate States the records preserv-
I'd are meagre and imperfect.
More than a hundred battle fields
in Tennessee. Virginia, Georgia,
Mississippi, Kentucky and else
where are fertiliZed by the remains
of honest and heroic men who sleep
in unknown graves. When they
fell, but few, if any, newspapers
were published 10 record the fact.
AS 81 permanent feature in Tennes-
sees history, this memorial roll will
be invaluable. Ii is, for many real
sons, obvious TO all exceedingly inn
portant that this roster OF heroic
martyrs be made accurate and COM
plete. The captains of the individ-
ual companies of the various arms
in the service are the only persons
upon whom the community can call
to make up the necessary returns.
We earnestly appeal to you to set
about the. task at once.
Take pains to have the names
correct TO letter; also be precise as
to date and place of death. Talk to
and correspond with your comrades,
spare no pains, be accurate, Tor this
memorial will be more lasting than
brass, going as it will into hundreds
of public libraries and thousands of
private families. Do not fail. No
eulogy will ever be published upon
Tennessee valor more eloquent than
this enumeration of multiplied hum
dreds who freely gave their lives as
Il sacrifice to patriotism.
Not later than December /, send
your returns TO DIR. j. Berrien

The Death Drum.

A number of Indians have died
in the camps the past two weeks
from malarial and brain fevers.
There IL u great deal of sickness
among them, and the death drum
can be heard i'm every camp. One
of the most firmly imbeded customs
of the Indians, and one which it is
hard To cOunteract, is this very
death drum. When an Indian falls
sick the relatives send for a "medi-
cine man." and then commences
one OF the strangest methods OF
treatment that could be devised
A drum is placed near the head of
the patient and is kept going night
and day until the patient dies or
RECEIVERS. This horrible noise is
accompanied by dOleiul singing and
incantations, and the effect on a
patient in high fever can easily be
imagined. The throbbing head
would seem to burst, and insensi-
bility must soon follow. Would il
be wonder that outraged nature
should succumb to such treatment,
and merciful death relieve the pa-
tient from torture. Yet such treat
mcnt often effects cure, and the
invalid, out of pure disgust, will
arise from the bed of sickness to get
rid of the death-dealing drum.
Pure force OF will power will keep
them from again yielding to their
ailments TO again be the subject of
such treatment. 1t is well named.
