ROCK HILL HAPPENINGS.

Address to the Sons of fSurvivors-bound Tor
Nicaragua-Nr. Jones to Come to Rock
Hin-Interesting Occasion at Ebenezer.
Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
Rock HILL, May 6.-Some notice
was given in the local columns of The
ENQUIRER last Friday to the exercises
to be held at Ebenezer on Memorial
Day. In addition to the order of ex-
ercises previously announced, there
will be an address to the sons of sur
vivors by Mr.. J. P. Smith, principal of
the Ebenezer High school.
DR.. Edward Stitt, of the United
States navy, has been spending few
days in our city, visiting his aunt,
Mrs. J. R. London. He is now on his
way to Mobile, Ala, where he will
Join the Nicaraguan commission, to
which he has recently been assigned.
On last Wednesday, at 7.SO p. M,
Rev. H. B. Browne performed the
marriage ceremony of Mr.. Charles c..
Fincher and Miss Agnes H. Lineberger,
both of the Standard mill.
Our city cemetary is now beautiful
with flowers blooming everywhere and
the green of the shrubbery intermin-
Cling on every hand. Its appearance
will be greatly added to by the neat,
new fence now being erected on Laurel
street.
Yesterday was day full of deep in
terest TO the congregation of the Ebene-
ger Presbyterian church. Besides be-
ing the time for the regular spring
communion services, it was the 18th
anniversary of Rev. DR.. Thornwell's
pastorate. Large congregations were
in attendance on both the morning and
afternoon services. DR.. Thornwell was
at his best, and in the afternoon his talk
to the children on "Nails," was unique
and especially full of interest to the
young folks.
Rev. Alexander Sprunt announced
from the pulpit of the First Presbyte-
rian church yesterday morning, that
Holston presbytery, Tenn essee, had re-
considered its action in refusing to let
Rev. Oliver G.. Jones leave their
bounds, and that Mr.. Jones and fami-
ly may be expected to arrive in Rock
Hill very shortly. He comes in ac-
ceptance of call to enter upon the
evangelistic work of the Presbyterian
church here.
Messrs. T. B. Lumpkin and B. NJ.
Sullivan, of this place, attended the
big May picnic at Catawba falls last
Saturday. They report big crowd
and a very pleasant time. Governor
Evans was not there, which was a dis
appointment, doubtless to many.

WAITING FOR PROPER ORDERS

Intendant Moore relates little cir
cumstance connected with the recent
cotton fire in Yorkville, and which
contains a moral that may be studied
to advantage, especially by most VOL
unteer fremen.
"The fire was out" says Mr.. Moore,
"and the crowd began to shout at the
colored hydrantman to shut off the
water. The fireman paid no attention
to the excited shouts, and acted as
though he did not hear them. Proba-
bly, like great many others who had
lost their heads, and to whom the
shutting off ofthe water was question
of no personal concern, I also became
excited and determined to investigate.
"Will Adams, the hydrantman, was
sitting on the hydrant, wrench in
hand, and calmly smoking cigarette.
Exasperated at his cool indifference,
with considerable show of temper, l
told him that the fire was out, and de-
manded to know why he did not shut
off that water. Adams looked up,
slowly emitted mouthful of smoke,
and ignoring my rising anger, replied :
"Mr. Intendant, I've got as much
respect for you as anybody in town,
and most generally would do any
thing you say without asking ques-
ton; but this water amt going to be
shut off until 1 get orders from my
captain"
~ at once saw where the fireman
was right" continued Mr.. Moore, "and
made apologies forthwith" In think
ing over the matter since, I have come
to the conclusion that if this same
spirit will take a general hold among
the boys, we will soon have one of the
most capable and efficient fire depart
ments in the country"

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

Maybe woman's suffrage will be an
issue in the constitutional convention
campaign but we do not believe it.
Notwithstanding all that has been said
to the contrary, we hardly think that
South Carolinians can bring themselves
to give the proposition even serious
consideration. 1t is too impracticable.
Are women competent to vote?
Certainly. No man with ordinary in
telligence will deny it; but that is not
the question. More important ques-
tions are Does she want to vote, and
would she vote if she had the right to !?
The question of competency is quite a
plain proposition. If there is to be
any serious investigation, the burden
of it should be given to these other
matters.
Of course, as there are all kinds of
men, there are also all kinds of women.
Men even, as a rule, care very little
about politics. We refer, of course,
to the majority of men. Of course,
there are individuals, and large num-
Der of them, who are personally inter-
ested. But with big majority, on Or
dinary occasions, it takes lots of per-
suasion to induce them to 60 to the
trouble of casting their ballots. There
are some women who would always be
eager to vote; but vast majority OF
them, in this country, could never be
induced to take enough interest to go
the polls.
There are two races in this State, be-
tween which there can never be any
complete political affinity. The
higher and nobler inclinations of the
women of the white race tend more in
the direction of affairs domestic than
in the direction of affairs political.
The women of the colored race could
easily be induced to take full interest

Not long ago it was stated that
President Cleveland had given it out
that he intended to coerce all Office
holders into support Of the single gold
standard on pain of dismissal. The
story was promptly denied. 1t was
stated that Cleveland would always
hold to the great civil service principle
of which he was an original apostle.
Last week, however, the president pub
lished his position on the question over
his own signature. In a letter to
Governor Stone, of Mississippi, he ex-
pressed himself as follows:
"There are, however, some officials who
devote themselves SO industrlously TO VII
itication and abuse of those under whom
they hold office, as to indicate that their
fidelity cannot be trusted for the perform
ance oftheir duties in manner credlta bic
to the administration, and who, apparent
ly, assume they may spend the time they
owe the public service III doing political
mischief In the interest of good govern
ment, such officeholders must not be sur.
prised if they are summarily dealt with"
After the above, there can be no
more doubt. The paragraph contains
omnious threats ingeniously concealed !;
but in view of all the circumstances,
the Interpretation is not difficult. MIR.
Cleveland is at liberty to call the ad-
vocates of free coinage of silver, social
lists, anarchists and anything else that
may strike his fancy but they must
not show any resentment. If they be-
lieve, as they have good reason, that
he has sold out the country to the
goldbugs, and is trying to deliver the
goods, they must keep quiet. He used
to think that "public Office was
public trust" but he has changed his
mind. He has now evidently come to
the conclusion that public office is
well, merely tool case.

YORKVILLE, S. c.:
WEDNESDAY, MAY s, 1895.

The trouble between Great Britain
and Nicaragua is now practically set
tied. Great Britain has accepted a
proposition to withdraw her ships on
condition that Nicaragua pay the $751;
900 indemnity claimed, within Is days.
1t is understood that this arrangement
was arrived at through the good Of
fees of the little republic of Saliva
dor, which kindly guaranteed the pay
ment of the amount in dispute. There
is reason to believe, however, that be-
hind it all there is something that has
not fully come to the surface. That
Minister Bayard had something to do
with suggesting Salvador's action there
is no reason to doubt, and the proba.
bilities are that behind Salvador's guar
antee, stands the United States. 1t is
to be hoped that this is not true; but
the case seems to be decidedly suspi-
cious. The Monroe doctrine is all right
if the United States intends to sustain
it by force of arms; but if it is neces-
sary to resort to the pocketbook to
keep down hostilities and at the same
time preserve "honor," the doctrine
had better be abandoned.

STRUCK BY THE TRAIN.

The southbound passenger train was
DELAYED about one hour last Saturday
night by an accident that occurred at
Lincolnton, n. C. For some distance
at Lincolnton the Narrow Gauge runs
along by the side of the Carolina Gen.
trail railroad. A white man, who was
slightly under the influence of liquor,
was walking on the track of the Caro-
lima Central. He heard train COM
ing behind him, and without taking
the trouble to look around, stepped
over on the Narrow Gauge track. The
Narrow Gauge train was also coming,
and before the man knew the danger
of his position, he was picked up by
the pilot of the engine. He was carried
perhaps fifty yards or more before the
train could be stopped. He was badly
bruised but so far as we have been
able to learn, no bones were broken.
The train waited until a physician who
had been summoned to the aid of the
injured man, made his report, and then
went on its way.

in politics, and could always be de-
pended upon to vote their full strength
at every election. This would operate
to give the colored people of the State
more complete control of the politics
of the State than ever.
But enough. We had no intention
of discussing this matter with special
seriousness when We started. We are
satisfied that the women Of the State
are capable of using the ballot just as
intelligently as the men, especially af-
ter a few years experience. We are
also satisfied that if they want to vote,
all they have to do is to say so; but
we do not think they want to vote,
and that is why we do not believe the
question will be an issue in the cam
paign.

ABOUT A HORSE TRADE.

"When I trade horses with man, it
is my business to do him if 1 can. 1
have done got my eye teeth cut, and if
he ain't got his cut, dat's none of my
lookout. He must take what he gets,
and if he does me, I'll promise you
right now, dat I amt going to squeal." !"
The speaker was young gypsy who
was talking to a crowd of interested
listeners on the court house corner last
Monday evening. Standing nearby,
was a good substantial looking gypsy
wagon, to which was hooked two
strong mules, and few yards away,
tied with halter to the court house
fence. was a medium sized bay horse
in apparently good condition, and
worth probably $40 or $50. There
was large crowd around, and interest
seemed to be centered on the wagon
and stock, the young gypsy who was
talking, and his companions-one a
medium sized man, and the other a
regular giant in size and apparently in
strength. The reporter inquired as to
the cause of the excitement, and a
bystander described the situation as
follows:
"These fellows traded horses with
Jim Nivens at Rock Hill last Friday.
Jim claims that he was cheated, wants
$50 damages, and Lee Nivens, as agent
for his father, has run an attachment
on this property for the purpose of
holding it until the case can be heard.
The gypsies are arranging to get up
an indemnity bond, and say they are
going to fight the thing to the bitter
end"
Having gathered this much, the
reporter tried to learn some more.
Approaching Mr.. L. R. Nivens, he
asked:
"What is the trouble with you fel-
lows ?"
Mr.. Nivens was not disposed to talk
much, and replied:
"There amt no trouble with me-"
"Then," asked the reporter, "what is
this litigation about?"
II amt got thing to do with il"
said Mr.. Nivens.
Seeing that there was no satisfaction
here, the reporter went to the gypsy
and asked for his version. The gyp-
sy was talkative, and gave his story
without hesitation. He said
"We's gypsy horsetraders. Dat's

SAYS IT'S 4 SANDER.

"Some of my neighbors have been
telling yarns on me-" complained Mr..
D. NJ. Hall, to the reporter, on Mon
day, "and I would like to have The
ENQUIRER set me straight"
"What's the trouble ?" Mr.. Hall was
asked.
"Well, they say that I have gone
back on the resolution of the conven-
ton to reduce our crop to eight acres
to the mule; that I have bought more
guano this year than last year, and
that have even plowed up my pas
lures for the purpose ofplanting cotton
in them.
"The truth of the matter" contin-
ued Mr.. Hall, lis just this: Last year I

MEMORIAL DAY.

Major James F. Hart requests THE
ENQUIRER to call meeting of the
citizens of Yorkville, to be held in the
court house this afternoon at 6 o'clock,
for the purpose of making arrange
ments for the proper observance of
Memorial Day at this place on next
Friday, the 10th of May.
Though originally instituted for
the special purpose of keeping fresh
in the memory of an appreciative
posterity, the heroic valor and pure
patriotism of the men who once wore
the gray, of late years the occasion
has become, and very properly, more
general in its privileges and duties.
1t is customary nowadays, on Memo
rial Day, not only to remember the
graves of the old Confederates; but
also to decorate the graves of deceased
relatives and friends.
1t has been a long while now since
Memorial Day has been fttingly OBJ
served in Yorkville, and the citizens
are not disposed to allow the coming
anniversary to slip by without proper
recognition. The ladies of Yorkville
are always the main reliance on such
occasions as this, and it is to be hoped
that they also will be fully represent
ed at the meeting called for this even
inp
