POLITICAL ITEMS.

An inspection of the returns of the re-
cent election shows that the States voting
Democratic represent 207 electoral votes
and those carried by the Republicans 1874.
The Democratic Legislature of Califor-
MIA insures the election of Democratic
United States Senator to succeed the pres
ent Senator, who is Republican.
The voters of Illinois voted at the late
election upon a constitutional amendment
prohibiting the employment of convict la
Dor. Less than majority of the citizens of
the State recorded themselves in favor Of
supporting the convicts in idleness and the
amendment fails. 1t is not to be doubted
that the labor agitators will pick their
fints and try again, but it is hardly to be
expected that they will have any better sue
cess in future. -. e.. ...,
The official returns of the vote in Ohio
indicate that the prohibitionists have poll
ed much larger vote than was expected.
From the eighty-five counties heard from
it appears the third party cast fully $4,000
votes during the campaign. Both Demo-
Gratis and Republicans estimated the Pro-
hibition vote at $1,000. Under ordinary
circumstances this large vote would give
the State to the Democrats, but last year
and this the Prohibition vote has been
drawn from both the old parties pretty
evenly.
In the North Carolina Legislature the
Senate stands q straightout Democrats, 3
independent Democrats and 20 Republicans.
The House stands 81 straightout Democrats,
9 independent Democrats and 81 Republi-
cans. No labor candidates were elected.
The independents were all heretofore DEM
ocrats. 1t is understood that the Repub-
licans propose to nominate an independent
for Speaker, expecting thus to control the
organization of the House. The Democrats
expect the cooperation of the independents,
as heretofore. Two Republicans are elected
to Congress. Abbott, colored, was defeated
in the Black district by a Democrat.

Correspondence Of the Yorkyille Enquirer.
= LETTER FROM FORT MILL.

FORT MILL, November 15.-A new phaSe
of theory as to earthquakes was recently
presented to your correspondent, and 1t IS
possibly correct. At any rate it is plausible
enough for consideration. 1t is this. Dur
ing the last six months there have been
very little thunder and lightning. There
fore the earth has become surcharged with
electricity, and the "critter" must kick
somewhere. There seems to be some rea-
son in this theory and, if it is correct, our
people have only to wait, until the sur
charge of electricity is evolved from the
earth, for quiet time. TheEl at least one
principle of of evolution will be establish
ed, although an invisible process should
demonstrate it.
There is another invisible process evoked
in this community. 1t is the process by
which debtor may pay sixteen cent
debt with eight cent cotton.
The narrow gauge is putting on airs again,
and has left US worse cut OFT than before.
They now say it requires tWenty.four hours
for letter to go from Fort Mill to York
Vile. instead Of about four hours as formerly.
We are therefore led to exclaim, with Ar
temus Ward, show is this thusly?" The
narrow built road had better not put on too
many airs; for pride goes before fall, and
that road is subject to the tumbles.
No news of a local nature is to be gather
ed since the big meetings and shakes have
ceased, except that smoke was again seen to
issue from the public we'll on yesterday
morning, whereat some citizens were dis
posed to marvel. This being year of Won
ders, Fort Mill is not disposed to be with
out phenomenon of some sort.
A colored man man named Drew Patton,
on B. F. Massey's place, had his arm so
badly mutilated by gin, on last Thursday,
that it had to be cut off above the elbow.
Some of our folks attended the fair last
week in Columbia, and some did not in
deed, the latter class were largely in the ma
iority. The present impecuniosity of many
restrained them, and they considerably
remained at home. We hear that the ex-
hibition was a good one, and that good or
der and decency prevailed on the grounds.
This is encouraging, at least.
York county seems to have sent large
representation to another institution in
Columbia, where good order and industry
are matters Of compulsion.
Some of our farmers say that cotton IS a
delusion and snare; that they intend to
quit being slaves to it; and that there is
no money in it. These are sensible senti-
ments; but, next year everybody Will
think and act as heretofore. They will
plant large crops of cotton, hoping that
their neighbors or other rneighborhoods will
act up to the sentiments now being express
ed. The price of the staple here is COM
paratively good, but even that is villainous-
iy low. ANON.

passed quietly away. The news of his death
cast a gloom over our entire community.
He had many friends who deplore his un-
timely end. His genial nature and warm
heart won friends wherever he went. On
Sunday morning his remains were convey
ed to Yorkville, followed by number OF
friends and committee from the local
lodge of knights of Honor, of which he
was member. In the death of Mr.. Wilson
our county and State has lost one of its most
energetic and prosperous young men. He
was in his 3lst year. :,
Capt. w. L. Roddey has been appointed
a director in the Charleston, Cincinnati and
Chicago Railroad. The charter of the COM
pany requires that it shall have an office in
the State. The same will be located in the
banking house of w. l.. Roddey & Son.
On account of having to attend Court last
week Capt. Iredell Jones, "YOrk county's
Noses" was unable to attend the Farmers
Convention which assembled in Columbia
last week.
Treasurer Neely is very popular man
in Rock Hill, but there are very few who
will welcome him this week.
Our citizens who attended the State Fair
last week all report having a good time,
and seeing good fair. Mr.. A. H. White
took five first premiums on eleven entries
of field seed.
DEW. B. Fewell, of Ebenezer, has been
seriously ill for the past ten days. Grave
doubts are entertained as to his recovery.
It is reported that lodge of knights OF
Labor has been organized in our town. L
have been unable to learn the names of the
officers.
George Poag, colored man 80 years of
age, was badly burned. last Tuesday, and but
for the timely assistance Of Mr.. G. j. Pride,
who was passing his house and discovered
the fire, he would have perished in the
flames. George has been an invalid for
some time, being perfectly helpless. ON
Tuesday morning his wife placed a hot
rock in the bed at his feet, fastened the
doors and went to neighbor's house. Mr..
Pride, passing the house about II O'Clock,
discovered it on fire, broke down the door
and found the old man on the floor, he hav-
ing fallen from the bed, which was then
ablaze. He managed to pull the old man
out of the house, when he discovered that
the poor fellows legs and feet were badly
burned. All efforts to save the house were
futile. The fire was caused by the hot rock
igniting the bed.
1.-The war among the grocery men still con.
tinues. They left the cabbage and reduced
the price of apples to 80 cents per bushel
This lasted a day or two, and they reduced
the price of pork sausage to 10 cents pei
pound. If they can stand it the people &c
not object.
LIT; is certain that Rock Hill is soon to
have national bank. Some of our best
business men are stockholders.
Mr.. John G. Steele, proprietor of Catawbs
Kennels, has a churn that he runs by doc
power. The churn holds from six to eight
gallons, and the motive power is furnished
by the dogs. HAL.

receives into the treasury of the public
schools. He also refers to an increase of
s34 ,OOO, 900, in the assessed value of property
in the State during the last few years, and
says that the whole amount of tax for the
past fiscal year has been collected, with the
exception of $50; record perhaps unpar-
allelled in the financial transactions Of any
State in the Union. Every obligation of
the State, including the interest on the bond
ed debt, has been promptly met and the
rate of taxation reduced. The rate of the
county taxation has been been reduced
largely in the last few years. AS showing
an Improvement in Penieentiary matters,
he instances the fact that with an average
of 600 convicts for 1886, there were only
sixteen deaths, and four of these from caus-
es antedating imprisonment. The people
are satisfied with the State, emigration has
ceased and immigration has begun, and
altogether he presents an outlook for the
future of most roseate hue.

4 REPEAL SUGGESTED.

The bad effects of the modifying amendments
to the lien law, passed by the last Legislature,
are already being felt, and general demand for
their repeal may be expected before the close OF
the next session. The Spartanburg correspon-
dent of the News and Courier writes under date
Of last Saturday:
ride over a portion of the county shows
that the crops are scanty as the least sangulne
have reported. The wheat crop was very short,
and most of the grain was damaged by sproutlng
in the shock The same was true of the oat crop.
Even The fruits were scarce and OF poor qualIty.
Taking the county oyer corn is barely halt a
crop. Cotton cannot 60 above two-thirds OF a
crop. Those who farm on the credit system
vii! find it tight squeeze to pay out after takiIs
their whole crop. One person has suggested that
the modifying amendments to the lien law W be be
repealed, so that the original law may be IN
force That in his opinion, is the immediate
remedy. The very bad crop year, with the con.
sequent depression, is serious matter. What ma
the poor are to do is more than one can now teil;
Intelligent industry, with rigid economy, Will
give relief in the future.
