ton was adopted condemnipg prize fights,

said: Gentlemen, there's no law which
would prevent this match from coming off.

"You know what sparring Is, Mr.. Mayor"
said Raw. Mr.. Finley, and tris fight will be
nothing but an out aud out slugging match as
you call it,
%You are mistaken, sir" responded Mayor.
"They will spar for points. When they
came here the only stipulation we
made with them was that it should not be
q prize. They assured us, it should be for
points and l have no idea it will be anything
like . smuggling match"
WEI not these same men run out of New
York because of their brutal exhibitions, I"
queried Mr.. Finley.
There was no reason for that, answered the
Mayor. " was talking with an official oye r
there the other day, and he told me there was
no necessity fer such action. These people
will merely come together and spar before
o crowd, and the man who scores
the most points will be declared the
victor. You will find these matches held in
every gymnasium and in some theaters in the
city. As the law is at present, / don't think

A few months ago the sheriff received in

mitted such a crime in Darlington ne
could be found in Florida. On searching

The Court of General Sessions for Lau-
rens county, Judge Witherspoon presiding,
adjourned last Friday morning. A long
and tedious term was expected, but owing
to unforeseen contingencies only three cas-
es were tried. William Collins, indicted tor
the arson of Mr.. James S. BlalOck's resi-
dence, was acquitted, although many con-
sidered the proof stronger at this term than
at the former, when a mistrial was entered.
Alfred Deen was acquitted of the charge
of numbering Mack Bird. The only con-
viction of the term was that of John Ben
son, alias Vinson, for the killing of Robert
Bird on the place of Mr.. W. P. Todd, on
the Goth of April, 1884. Solicitor Duncan
pronounced this one of the clearest cases OF
murder he had ever heard of. The jury
found verdict of "Guilty. We recommend
end the prisoner to the mercy Of the Court" T"
Three liquor cases were continued.

YORKVILLE, s. c.. Y
THURSDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 1, 1885
NEW YORK STATE CONVENTIONS.

The State Conventions of the Republican
and Democratic parties of New York were
in session at Saratoga last week. Both Con-
ventions contained full representations of
their respective parties, and each was en-
thusiastic. The Democrats nominated for
Governor, David B. Hill, the present in
cumbent, who succeeded to the chief execu-
tive office on the election of Governor Cleve-
land to the Presidency. The ticket, with
Governor Hill at it's head, is strong one,
though he is regarded more as a practical
politician than Civil Service Reformer.
The Republicans nominated for Governor
Ira Davenport, a comparatively obscure pol
itician. He is the son of Col. Ira Daven-
port, and removed with his father when
only six years old to Bath, Steuben county,
of which Mr.. Davenport has ever since been
citizen. His education was received at
Bath and New Haven, and in 1868, upon
the death of his father, who was very
wealthy man, the management of his large
estate devolved upon young Ira. Mr..
Davenport first became known in State pol
itics in 1877, when he was elected Senator
by plurality Of 1,701, over George B.
Bradley, the Democratic candidate. He
was reelected in 1879 by plurality of 5,77s.
In 1881 he was nominated for Comptroller
by the Republican Convention, and ran
away from all other men on his ticket, be-
ing elected by majority Of 14,OS4. In 1888
he was candidate for reelection, but was
defeated by Mr.. Chaplin, the present Comp
troller, by majority of 1920. Last No
vember Mr.. Davenport was the Republi-
can candidate for Congress to represent the
district composed of Steuben, Yates and
Ontario counties, and he was elected by a
plurality of 3,6lO, running ahead of Blaine
in the counties by GIG. Mr.. Davenport is
unmarried, and if he is elected Governor,
will be the third bachelor to occupy the
Executive Mansion in Albanyi in succession.

Life's too Short.

If there were things that even Solomon, with
all his wisdom, confessed his inability tounder-
stand, is it to be wondered at that we uninspired
mortals in trying to account for the motives that
prompt human action, frequently find ourselves
stumped? This should not worry us. Lifes too
short and busy for us to trouble and wrestle
with such questions. There is one matter, how
ever, that we have been scratching our head over,
and we don't mind mentioning it here-it is why
any individual who intends to paint his dwelling
or any other building, should decline to use
Longman & Martinez'a Paint. This Paint is
scientific combination of the most durable pig
ments. 1t is the outgrowth Of years of study
and practical application. There can be no loss
or disappointment in its use as it tbristles all over
with guarantees, and withal, it is the cheapest
Paint on the market. Sold in town only by
KuyEENDAI.

XLETTER FROM ROCK HILL.

Rock HILL, S. c., September 2S.-To-day
one of the old landmarks of Rock Hill is
being torn down. The old store on Main
street, formerly occupied by w. l.. Roddey
is being taken down and will soon be re-
placed by a handsome brick building, to be
occupied by w. L. Roddey & Son as bank
ing house.
Mrs. Hannah Spencer, an esteemed elder
ly lady, died in this place on Tuesday last.
She was consistent member of the Baptist
church, from which church she was buried
on Wednesday.
The trustees of Rock Hill Lodge knights
of Honor have paid to Mrs. Minnie Ratter-
rec two thousand dollars, the amount of the
benefit certificate of her husband, the late
Hyder Raterree.
The members of Antioch M. f. Church are
building new church edifce, which will
be completed in about three weeks. This
church is situate six mile from Rock Hill
in one Of the most prosperous sections OF
York county. A few years ago lands in
that section that could be and were bought
at 50 per acre, are now worth SIS, and diff
cult to be obtained at the latter price.
The improved guns furnished by the State
to the CataWba Rifles, of this place, do not
seem to be appreciated by the company, as
they have never been removed from the
depot. Ihey SClll remain Inere unpdckeu,
and doubtless if the State had not paid the
freight on them, the guns would have been
sold ere now for freight charges.
am informed that the game law is being
violated in this section by persons shooting
partridges. 1t is not lawful to shoot these
birds until the 1st of October, and persons
violating this law should be punished. If
the law is not to be enforced, we had better
not have it.
On Saturday last, Col. G. ]. Pride, town
marshal, received a telegram from Pine
vile, N. c., signed by Alfred Hill, request
ing the arrest Of Tom Miller, colored, who
would arrive on the o'clock train. AS
soon as Miller stepped from the train, Col.
Pride took him in charge, lodged him in the
guardhouse, and telegraphed to Hill that he
had his man. Alfred Hill, who is colored
man, came down on the next train and re-
cognized his man, whom he charged with
stealing a coat valued at not more than
two dollars. Miller returned the coat and
was released.
Rumor says thattwo of Rock Hill's young
men are soon to be married and are going
away from home to secure their wives.
Both the young ladies are well known in
Rock Hill. HAL.
