YORK TOWNSHIP BONDS.
Their Legality Acknowledged and the Peo-
pie Must Pay the Taxes.
fY0rkvilie ENQUIRER

The board of county. commissioners,
as agents, last Friday: entered into an
agreement with w. K. Blodgett, the
hoider of the bonds voted by York
township in aid of the Three C's rail-
road, by which the legality of the said
bonds is acknowledged, and the suit
pending in the United States court is
to be discontinued, as in the case Of
Catawba and Ebenezer townships.
The agreement is the same as that
entered into on the part of the other
townships, with one exception. Mr..
Blodgett represented that he had con-
troll Of the matured coupons on only
$4,000 of the $4,000 of bonds, and
could not rebate the accrued interest
on the remaining $4,000. He, how
ever, cancels the accrued interest on
the $4,000 up to January l, 1889, and
also 20 per cent. of the whole debt Of
$4,000.
By this arrangement York township
saves in principal and interest some
thing over s2l, 800.
After signing the agreement, the
county commissioners at once made a
levy of9! mills to pay the current and
accrued interest, and this fall the tax
payers of York township will pay
taxes as follows: For State purposes,
4s mills; ordinary county, =. mills;
Narrow Gauge railroad, Il mills; con"
stitutional school, 2 mills; Three C's
railroad, 81 mills. Total 20 mills. In
addition to this, taxpayers in the town
are assessed mills fer the local school
tax, which makes the total 22 mills.
Next year the Three C's railroad tax
will be about mills, or little less.

RIOT AMONG COTTON PICKERs.
The Leaders Taken from a Sherif's Posse
and Hung.

! New ORLEANS, Oct. "a Helena,
Ark, Special says: There has been con-
siderable excitement here over the war
fare in the county caused by body of
imported cotton pickers exciting ne
groes to a general strike for high
wages, which he eliminated lin riot.
Yesterday deputies Frank Mills and
Jesse Hodges, who have been with
Sheriff Derrick the last few days, arrived
in the city and report as follows:
Wednesday afternoon they succeeded
in locating thirteen of the worst of the
rioting negroes in cane brake near
Cats Island and thence to Memphis.
A sherif7s posse called upon them to
surrender and give up their arms. The
negroes answered by volley of shots
,.nd made dash to escape, Two were
killed, two escaped ard nine were
captured. These negroes were disarmed
and given in charge Of deputies Mills
and Hodges, who started with them
to Mariana County seat. A few mile
back of Hackley's landing the deputies
found themselves and prisoners sur
rounded by a crowd of masked men,
mounted and armed. They demanded
the prisoners at the hands of the dep
uties, and as they outnumbered the
deputies two to one, took charge of the
prisoners, marched them into thicket
and hung them. It is believed that
most Of the negroes were from Men,
phls. Among the killed is Ben Pat
terson, who is known as crap shooter
and all around negro gambler, and who
organized the strike on behalf of the
cotton pickers who annually 60 from
Memphis to the bottoms. The balance
had nothing to do with the disturb
ances whatever. 1t remains 10 be seen
whether the trouble is en.ire:y O. -, al
though the general impression is that
it is. The death of Patterson settles it.
NEW ORLEANS, La, Oct. 2.-The
Picayune's Helena, Ark, special says {:
It now appears that no less than fifteen
negroes were killed of the gang of
nineteen who commenced the trouble.
Of the remaining four three are in Jail
at Marianna and one in Jail at Forest
City. TO millionaire merchant, J.
f. Frank, of Memphis, is laid the
charge of having melted the trouble
by saying in the presence of hundred
negroes at his store that he would have
his cotton picked If be had to pay q
dollar per hundred for the work.

BITTEN BY A BLUE-GUMMED NEGRO.
Resulting, After Four Years Suffering, in a
Terrible Death.

MOBILE, Ala, September 30.-Death
released from his sufferings to-day
John King, whose medical history of
the past four years will become one OF
the noted book cases of the profess
sion.
Four years ago John King was one of
the handsomest, most atletic and most
promising men on the Mobile police
force, twenty-seven years of age, full
six feet in height, intelligent, active,
alert and courageous.
February 10, 1887, King, while in the
line of his duty, arrested negro named
Richard Richards, who resisted and
savagely bit the thumb of the police
mans lett hand, but was brought in
and locked up. The next day King
was very i'll from his wound. The arm
swelled, then in time the illness spread
through the system, affecting the left
side of the body chiefly, finally settling
III Lne leIC IOOt auQ leg.
He was confined to his bed from this
cause for six months. When be came
from his sick room, it was with a con-
stitution entirely scattered, instead of
the stalwart young man who was
known as Policeman King. BE was in
looks and in gait an aged man.
He was, his doctors said, the victim
Of blood poisoning. Richards, his as
sailant, was described as "blue-
gun ned" negro, and such are popu-
larly believed to have poison in their
bite. King never recovered the injury.
His lameness became more pronounced,
and he came hopeless and helpless
invalid, failing perceptibly until death
released him. The most skillful physi-
clans of Mobile and Of New Orleans
have been battling with the singular
malady, which, in the end, baffied
them.

What Shakespeare Might have Said.
To take or not to take: that is the
question.
Whether tits better for man to suffer
The pangs and torments of indigestion,
Or something take, and, in its taking,
end them.
Shakespeare didn't say that, but
very likely he would have said some
thing similar, if be were living in this
10Th century, when so many suffer un.
told agonies from indigestion. Of
course he would have gone on to say
that a man must be a fool not to take
the something" which would put an
end to the "pangs and torments"
spoken of, if he could get it. Now it is
a fact that weakened, impoverished
blood brings On indigestion, which is
the cause of dyspepsia, constipation-a
poisoned condition of the whole sys-
tem-and it is fact, also, that DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery will
50 purify the BLOOD and enrich it that
all the weakened organs are revital-
lied and strengthened. 1t is guaran-
teed to do this. If it doesn't, your
money will be returned to you.

or it provokes more careful investiga-
ton. There is no comfort that costs
less and is worth so much as letters
from kindred and friends, and yet there
is no duty so easily neglected. How
longingly do the folks look for letters
from their absent children-scattered
children. How carefully does the good
mother put them away when they do
come. Sometimes there is long inter
val, and she asks every day, "1s there
no letter?' and her loving heart imag-
ines that her boy or her girl is SICK.
Children, why don't you write to the
ol1 folks at home? Write often write
regular, write cheerfully, for they
won't be here long, and then you will
wish you had. 1 had good letter to
day from all old army friend who is in
his eightieth year, and his wife the
same, and they are hale and hearty
and happy, and he quotes, John
Anderson my Joe," and writes with
out glasses and says his love for old
friends grows purer and stron :er as the
years roll on. He writes ME periodi-
cally and always cheerfully and 1 put
his letters away among my treasures:
These letters for the home and heart
are the only compensation for absence,
for separation of kindred and friends.
Solomon felt it en- he said, GAS cold
water is to a thirsty soul so is good news
from far country" Then write to your
parents, children-write to your broth
ers and sisters-write often, write
thoughtfully. Don't write hurriedly
and carelessly like its something disa-
greeable that had to be done but take
pains both in the manner and the mat
ter--write letter that is worth the
postage and will do to read more than
once. There is no better evidence Of
good conduct and good principles than
the afectionate. and carefully written
letters that school girl or college
boy sends home to the parents once q
week. BILL ARP.

how Spanish Nobleman Won Hazard
Gus Bet. ...---.
From the Boston Sunday Herald.

From the Boston Sunday Herald
CITY OF MEXICO, August pa
wealthy gentleman of Basque descent
lived in the city Of Mexico. He was
good deal of a madcap and noted for
his daring eccentricities. The reigning
Viceroy, Spanish noblemau, was es-
pecially Objectionable to him, and one
day, when the Basque gentleman was
among some lively and congenial
friends, talk fell on the law which pro-
vided that 30 one other than the Vice
roy might drive about with spotted
horses. This was a privilege which
the Viceroys were very Jealous in main
tanning.
As result of the discussion the
Basque gentleman, something Of a
"celavera," as they say in Spanish-a
wild fellow, We would put it-wagered
with Mexican marquis that he would
himself hitch four spotted horses into
his coach and drive through the prln-
ciral streets Of Mexico. Twenty thou
sand dollars was the amount of the
wager.
In a few days a handsome coach,
with, four spotted horses, was driven
up the main avenue OF the city past
the present Iturbide Hotel to the very
gates of the viceregal palace. The coach
was driven several times up and down
in front Of the palace, while sentries
presented arms, thinking it to be the
viceregal coach. Some one ran up
stairs and informed the Viceroy him
self of the presence in the street OF a
coach with spotted horses, and out
went the pompous Spanish vice-king
to balcony to see, with his own eyes,
the defiance of his privilege and infrac-
ton of the law.
The Basque gentleman leaned out of
the window, saluted the Viceroy most
graciously, and then ordered the coach
man to enter the MAIN courtyard Of the
palace. On reaching the very heart Of
the viceregal authority the Basque
alighted, passed gravely up the stair
case to the viceregal apartments, and,
to the astonished and dazed function
ary, said: "knowing how fond you
were of horses, have come to present |
YOU with a coach and four as an express
sion of my admiration"
The Viceroy, perforce, had to accept
the handsome gift, and could say no.
thing. /
The coach and horses cost S, 900, and
the clever Basque pocketed $1,000
profit when the wager was settled.

A Clemson for Alabama.

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, October 1.-The
will of the Hon. Merit Street, a prom
inent and wealthy citizen of Clay Coun-
ty, has been probated. In it he pro-
yides for founding an industrial school
for boys and girls, setting aside for that
purpose four hundred and twenty acres
of land in Clay County, with money to
erect the necessary buildings. He also
provides an endowment fund to pay
teachers, and provides that all pupils
shall work so many hours per day.
All the proceeds of the farm and
workshops are to 60 to the endowment
fund. 1t is the most important bequest
ever made to the cause of education by
a private individual in Alabama. Mr..
Street bore the. general reputation of
being close, hard man in money mat
tiers, and his bequest comes in the ma
ture of a gratifying surprise.

Being an old farmer of forty years
experience, having fought many a
hard battle with General Green, and
having always gained the victory, I am
prompted to give my brother farmers
a word of cheer: -
~ Now brother farmers, it won't do to
plant cotton to buy corn, -four, &c. 1t
will always keep your nose to the
grindstone You will be no better than
a slave for some one as long as you con-
tinue this picnic. You will never be
an independent and free man as long
as you neglect grain. Your old bro
ther has always raised cotton. as sur
plus crop, and now to-day he owes nc
man anything but love, except q. forty
dollar note and little store account;
and I have for the last thirty years had
corn tosell and to keep, and money to
lend and to use, Ought I not to be
thankful? -r. ... ...z~
I thought I would quit here, bnt
there is so much more I want to say to
my young brother farmers who have to
battle with General Green. You have
had to fight hard this year to save
your crops, and you deserve great
deal of credit in saving them. But,
oh, my friends, I was in mighty fight
n 1867 when it rained euery day from
,el7th of June to the 4th of July, and
y.;,lways have believed I lost 100 bush
-. of corn by two plows standing idle

is worth. Never put off until Monday
