pension of the silver dollar coinage; the
suppression of polygamy, the enforcement
of the civil service act, and continues as
follows:
The Republican party has heartily and
deeply rejoiced in the many manifestations
of sympathy and good feeling in the South,
called forth by the death of our great soldier
and patriot, and as Republicans we wish for
the complete and perfect reconciliation be-
tween these sections. TO have such q re-
conciliation, the results of the war must
be accepted everywhere in good faith. But
one result has been accepted; the negro en-
franchised by the war is largely deprived
of his privileges as a voter. In certain
States, elections are mockery, the returns
are fraudulent, and voting is farce. II we
were to be silent to this crying evil, we
should be false to all the traditions and prin-
cipes of our party, as well as those OF aa tne
dom. Against these great wrongs, SO dan,
gerous and so un-American, yet vindlcated
and maintained by Democratic maiorities in
the House of Representatives, we propose to
agitate and protest. We appeal against it to
public opinion, both North and South, we
Shall seek redress in an aroused public con-
sciousness and proper legislation. We shall
not be content until every wrong is crushed
out and justice done. AS one specific meas
ure tending to remedy the evil, we urge up,
on Congress the policy of making liberal
grants in aid of primary education in the re-
cent slave States. AS we protest against the
suppression of the negro vote, so also in the
same spirit do we protest against the cleo
tion frauds, countenanced and fostered by
the Democratic party in certain cities North,
and we censure President Cleveland for
pardoning persons convicted OF electlon
frauds.
The Greenbackers have also nominated
State ticket with James Sumner for Cover
nor. The platform adopted announces ad-
herence to the principles set forth in the
National party Convention at Indianapolis;
declares that all action transferring the pow
er for the coinage and issue of money to
persons or corporations should be revoked; !;
that the retirement of legal tenders of small
denominations is vicious attempt to an
noy the people and disturb business, and IS
violation of law; favors frequent elec-
tions and rotation in Office; condemns the
attempt to create an aristocracy of office
holders under the pretence of civil service
reform, and sets forth that legislation for
the better protection of the wage workers is
demanded; universal suffrage is favored,
with removal of all barriers which limit
in any degree the right of suffrage, and the
re-enactment of the secret ballot law is de-
manded.

fNOT BORN TO BE SHOT.

On the 3rd of September we published an ac'
count of the accidental shooting of John Price
colored, at Mckenzie's mill in this county, q
few days previously, by which part Of his
skull was blown off and his brain exposed
There was an air of exaggeration in the state
ment, yet the leading circumstances of the af-
fair, as published were strictly true; and what
may seem more astonishing, the wounded man
is now we'll and working regularly in the cot
ton field. Not only was portion of his skull
blown off--severed from the head-but it is
stated as true that at least third of his brains
spilled on the ground where they were left. The
severed part of his head was replaced and
uniting it healed up almost without a scar; and
as a physiological phenomenon, it is asserted
that Notwithstanding the loss of his brains, he
now has more sense than before the accident.

LETTER FROM ROCK HILL.

Rock HILL, S. c., October 5.-A very
distressing mistake was made on Friday
night last, by Mr.. J. r. Copeland, who lives
about six miles southeast of this place,
which caused the death of his youngest
child, aged seven months. The particulars,
as near as I can gather them, are as follows:
About two weeks ago Mr.. Copeland was
unWell and suffering considerable pain. He
summoned physician, who left some NOR
phine, which Mr.. Copeland did not find it
necessary to use, and he placed it away, as
he thought, where it would not be mistaken
for something else. On Thursday his baby
was taken sick, and early on Friday morn
ing he made the dreadful mistake of giving
his little daughter. a portion of morphine,
thinking it was quinine. The unfortunate
parent is almost crazed with grief. s
x Mrs. Jane L. Carothers, wife Of Mr.. Thom-
as M. Carothers, of Ebenezer township, died
of ofconsumption in Columbia on last Tuesday,
in the 18th year of her age. Her remains
were inferred in the cemetery at Ebenezer
OF last Thursday.
H Master Boyd Creighton, eight years old,
son of Mr.. w. S. Creighton, of this place,
fell from a two-horse wagon in his fathers
yard, on Saturday, and had the misfortune
to break his arm by the fall.
fMr. Robert F. Thomasson, who three
years ago, took Horace Greeley's advice to
young men and went "West," returned
from Arkansas to this place on Saturday
last, thinking there is no. place like York
county. Mr.. Thomasson was pleased with
Arkansas, and says they have good lands
and make big crops out there, but all in
all he prefers York county.
Some of the young ladies and gentlemen
of our town have organized dramatic as
sociation. Mr.. E. R. Stitt is president ;
Col. John J. Waters, vice president; and
Mr.. w. J. Roddey, secretary. The associa-
tion proposes to give an entertainment in a
few weeks, and will present "Our Ameri-
can Cousin" The object will be to raise
funds for the Rock Hill Library.
Considerable interest is being taken in
the cultivation of tobacco in eastern York.
Several farmers experimental this year on
small scale, and find our lands we'll adapt
ed to the growth of the weed: Next year
they will plant more extensively. Rock
Hills next enterprise will perhaps be a
tobacco warehouse.
Mr. John G. Steele has established dog
college at his farm, ;one mile from town:
file has dogs to train from the North and
West, and several from Virginia and this
State.
The first frost of the season in this Sec
ton was seen by early risers this morning.
In my last letter was mistaken as to the
number of weddings to take place in our
town in the next few weeks. 1 should have
said seven instead of two, viz: one minis
ter, two book-keepers, two merchants, one
cotton Weigher and one livery stable man.
There are two lawyers and a physician whose
names should like to add to the above, and
| can assure you it is by no fault of theirs
that am denied that pleasure. HAL.

HoMICIDEIN CHARLESTON.-At1Oo O'Clock
last Friday morning, Stephney Riley, color
ed, was shot and killed at the corner of Smith
and Bull streets in Charleston, by DIR. Amer
NJ. Bellinger, county physician. Riley was
was known as Democratic Riley, and has
been very enthusiastic Democrat, even in
reconstruction days. He was very wealthy
for colored man, owning hack and livery
stable on the corner of Smith and Bull
streets, in which he was killed. Riley was
shot through six times. DIR. Bellinger was
put in Jail and made no statement. Bel
linger's friends say that on the night before
he saw the negro, Riley, whipping his hors-
esunmercifully, and demonstrated with him.
Riley turned from the horses and cursed
Bellinger and threatened to use the whip
on him. Thereupon Bellinger left the negro
and went home. The next morning as Bel
linger was passing the corner of Smith and
Bull streets the difficulty was renewed.
Riley cursed Bellinger and started toward
him with loaded whip handle when he
shot in self defence. There are rumOrs of
an entirely different cause for the killing,
but it cannot be published unless given in
evidence. The community are general in
the opinion that DR.. Bellinger did not COM
nit the deed Wantonly or without cause.
The verdict of the coroner's jury, rendered
on Monday was that Riley came to his
death from wounds inflicted by a pistol in
the hands of A. n. Bellinger. The general
opinion is that Bellinger shot Riley from
some other cause besides the fuss about the
horses on Thursday night. Bellinger is in
Jail, and will probably remain there until
the November term of the Charleston Court
of Sessions

NATIONAL EDUCATIoN.-Senator Blair
says he will reintroduce the educational
bill in the Senate early in next session, and
thinks Mr.. Willis and other friends of the
bill will introduceit in the House in time to
secure action upon it before the end Of the
session. He believes that Republican men,
ure. Mr.. Blair says it was defeated in the
House last session only by preventing consid-
Grafton, and that it commands the support
of about two-thirds of the Senators.

LOCAL OPTION IN GEoRGIA.-The pas
sage of the General Local Option bill by the
Georgia Legislature has revived the tenn
perance crusade in that State in wonder
full degree. An Atlanta dispatch says:
While the bill was before the Legislature
the Prohibitionists gave out that they would
be content with high license in large cit
les. Since the bill passed into law, how
ever, they have changed front, and Allan
ia is just now the scene of violent agitation.
Mayor Hillyer, the City Council, the news
papers, and other prominent influences are
at work for the prohibition of the liquor
traffic. There are S5,0O0,000 invested in the
liquor business in this city by half dozen
wholesale houses, 300 licensed saloons, and
real estate owners. A prominent physici-
an, DR.. O'Bren, joined the Prohibitionists
and was at once boycotted by the liquor
men. The negroes oppose high license be-
cause that cuts off places where they can
drink, and they are forced into either free
liquor or prohibition straight Thousands
of dollars have been subscribed toward the
campaign fund on both sides. The agita-
tion has extended to other cities, and prohi-
bition in Atlanta will be followed by prohi-
bition in Savannah and Augusta. The
Irish and Germans, however, are quite
strong in these two cities, and the struggle
will be close. Before winter is over there
will not be adrop of liquor sold in Georgia
under legal sanction.

BUSINESS FAILURES LAST WEEK.-The
business failures occurring throughout the
country during the last week, as reported to-
r. G. Dunn & Co.'s mercantile agency
number for the United States III and for
Canada 25, total 1876, against total of 1S5
the week previous. The Western and Pa
ciic States furnish exactly one-half of the
total casualties. Other sections of the coun-
try report failures below the average.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1885-10-08

WARDS THREAT.-Ferdinand Ward has
brother, man of integrity and highly
respected. This brother is naturally much
mortified at Ferdinand's disgrace, but pro-
poses to stand by and shield him as much
as possible from what he considers unde-
served or extreme obloquy. TO this end,
the culprit has been advised to make
clean breast of his transactions, hurt whom
it may, and the public is already treated to
ar outline of what is promised. This confess
sion, with proof, is expected to demonstrate
that the Grant family drew more money
from the firm of Grant and Ward than they
put in; that Fred Grant was really mixed
up in contracts with the Government; that
the Grant family lost by outside specnla-
tions, under the advice of outside friends,
amounts which, if now theirs, would do
away with all the cry fpoverty; that prom
inent men, including bank presidents, were
sharers and partners in the whole business;
that Ferdinand Ward has not dollar; and
that the apparent loans of Gen. Grant and
other members of the firm represent eXorbi-
tant gains on these so-called contracts
1t is certain that some powerful influence
es have hitherto baffled justice in this case,
and it now looks as if Ward would escape
by threatening to Squeal upon his wicked
partners" who may be rich enough and
mighty enough to stop his mouth and defy
the laW.-Augusta Chronicle.
PROSECUTING PoLYGAMIsTs.-At Salt
Lake City, last Friday, Edward Brain was
convicted of unlawful cohabitation. His
latest wife, Danish girl, testified freely as
to their marital relations. Brain made a
long statement to the Court, maintaining
the truth of his belief. of which he said he
was assured by the direct revelation of God
to himself. His covenants, he said, were
made for eternity and he would stand by
them at all hazards. Judge Zaine reminded
Brain that two of his wives in this "eter-
nal covenant" of which he spoke were al
ready divorced from him and his first wife
was dishonored in her old age. 10 talk of
this being an eternal covenant under Divine
command was blasphemy, and he was tired
of hearing such hypocritical can't. The
Court sentenced Brain to six months in Jail
and to- pay 4 fine of 5000.
