COMPROMISED.

Joe Watson, colored, of Bethesda
township, is a chicken thief and a
Sunday-school scholar. This state
ment is based on one of Joseph's re-
cent adventures.
Elias Givens, colored, had been
missing number of fat hens. He de-
cided to lay for the thief. One day re-
Gently he saw Joseph Watson taking
leave of his premises, and under his
arms there was something which looked
suspicious. Elias made after Joseph
and Joseph ran swiftly. Presently,
Joseph was overtaken and captured.
Under one arm he had large rooster
and under the other he had fat hen.
The rooster was identified as the pro-
perty ofElias.
After the capture, the two men re-
turned to the house of Elias and
held parley. As the result of this
parley, Joseph agreed to hoe cotton

Vile would do; but he was sure that
she could be depended upon to DO her
full part.
Upon motion of Mr.. Sherlesee, the
various township committees were re-
quested to pledge themselves to raise
$50 each, and as much more as posi-
BILE by the 1st OF August, and to turn
the respective amounts over 10 Mr. }.
w. Neil, treasurer of the board OF COM
missioners.
After considerable discussion as to
the best means Of collecting and TAX
ing care OF the exhibits, it was agreed
that the county be divided among the
commissioners, and each commissioner
look after the exhibits in his respective
division. BY this arrangement, MIR.
Snertesee is To look ailer Catawba,
Fort Mill, EUenezer and Bethesda;
Mr.. Brice, is " look after York, Bull
locks Creek and Broad River; MIR.
Neil is to look after Bethel and Kings
Mountain, and Major John +. Jones is
to look after Cherokee. All articles
intended for exhibition, however, may
be taken to the commissioner whose
location may be most convenient.
Major Hart suggested as u valuable
advertisement for exhibition, care
fully prepared map, showing water
courses, water-powcrs, manufacturing
enterprises, and mineral deposits. The
idea met with favor.
MIR. w. B. Moore suggested a good
expedient to awaken proper interest
in the whole matter, the holding OF
county exhibition, on small scale
about the middle of August, at which
can be shown all the county exhibits
collected for exhibition in Atlanta. In
this way, he thought spirit OF rivalry
could BIZ cultivated among the town
ships, and the products and resources
of the whole county could be shown
up in manner that was hardly posi-
BILE by any other method. From the
county exhibit, he suggested, the COM
missioners might take whatever was
best, and not bother with the balance.
Mr.. Moore's suggestion was favorably
received by the meeting, but as he neg
lected to put it in the form of motion,
it was passed over without action.
After little further general discus
sion the meeting adjourned.

YORKVILLE, S. c.:
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 5, 1895.

-"Daniel Murphy is no more guilty
of the murder of Treasurer Copes than
1 am" remarked q citizen of Orange
burg in the hearing of gentleman
from Yorkville few days ago. "Stim-
ulated by the $500 reward, continued
the citizen of Orangeburg, "the un-
scrupulous detective worked up a
plausible case of circumstances against
Murphy, backed it up with the hired
testimony of two women of i'll repute,
and as the result, the poor devil will,
in all probability, hang" Unscrupu-
lous detectives have been known to do
the very thing that is here suggested.
Whether the statement Of the citizen
of Orangeburg is correct, we are un-
able to say; but we confess that a
reading of the testimony is calculated
to warrant such conclusion. The
murder of Copes was horrible; but,
under the circumstances, the murder
of Murphy, if he is not guilty, will be
even more so.

MONEY In ROOTS.

Why somebody in this section does
not devote attention to the root and
herb business, has long been mystery
to The ENQUIRER. The business can
be conducted with very small capi-
tai, and we are satisfied that it can be
made to yield good profits, and it
would prove of great benefit to hum
dreds of people in the country around
about, who now have only very poor
ways of earning cash.
We are in receipt of the official mark
ct report of the Baltimore Fruit and
Produce association. Along with the
produce for which prices are regularly
quoted, we notice a large number of
roots that are wonderfully common in
this section. Snake root, for instance,
is quoted at from 20 TO % cents a
pound. Wild cherry bark is worth
from Al to 5 cents pound. The
bark OF sassafras roots is worth from
81 to cents pound. Burdock roots
are worth from 1 to ii cents pound.
Yellow dock roots are worth from 3 to
81 cents pound. Indian turnip is
worth from to 81 cents pound, and
other roots too numerous to mention,
are quoted at what appear to be good
prices.
Say that the bark of sassafras roots,
for instance, is worth 81 cents a
pound in Baltimore. Allow I of a
cent pound for packing and freight
and : of a cent a pound for handling
by the local dealer. This would leave
to the gatherer 2 cents pound. We
are hardly in a position to estimate
how much an industrious man or wo.
man could gather in q day, but we
think it would be safe to say from 25
to so pounds, and this would yield
wages of from so cents TO S1.00 day.
Some of the other roots would, no
doubt, admit of still better returns to
both gatherers and dealers.
We are satisfied that this business
offers a fine opportunity to some man
with small capital; but plenty of in
telligence and energy. If properly
developed, it will not only be the
means of bringing great deal of
money into the county for that which
at present has no value; but it will
give employment to large numbers of
people who are now seldom able to
make more than 10 or Is cents a day,

FOR THE EXPOSITION.

Pursuant to the recent" call of the
Board of Exposition commissioners,
the following gentlemen assembled at

steps looking to the proper representa-
ton of York county at the coming

Walter B. Moore.
On motion of Mr.. Brice, Major J. F.
Hart was called to the chair, and Mr..
Louis Sherfesee was requested to act
as secretary. Messrs. Brice, and Sher-
fesee, and Major Hart, explained that
the object of the meeting was to Sc
cure proper representation for York,
and suggested that in addition to COL
lecting all kinds of agricultural, mineral
and manufactured products, it would
be necessary to raise certain amount
of cash. This amount was fixed at
not less than s3OO-$3O from each
township, and as much more as can
possibly be raised.
Upon being asked as to what can be
expected of Rock Hill, Mayor Hutchi-
son said that the city is generally
found somewhere in the procession in
matters of this kind, and can be de-
pended upon in this case. He was
sure that individual citizens would
subscribe literally, and stated that
although the city treasury is pretty
low just now, it is likely that there
will be at least small appropriation.
Intendant Moore said that of course
it was impossible to tell what York

DROWNED IN BROAD RIVER.

John Bolin, a young white man, was
drowned in Broad river, short dis
tance from Hickory Grove, on last
Sunday afternoon.
Bolin was bathing in the river with
John Childers. They were trying to
see who was the hest swimmer. Both
had been across, and on the return
trip Bolin gave out. In his struggles
to save himself from drowning, he
seized hold Of Childers. Childers got
loose from him only with the greatest
difficulty, and in doing so, broke three
fingers. Chiders managed to reach
the bank thoroughly exhausted.
The drowning of young Bolin is an
especially pitiable case. He was the
only dependence ofan old mother who
has been paralyitic for 20 years.

released. Judge Gibbons then de-
nounced the governors action as an
outrage, and Immediately issued an
order in which he suspended the sem
tences of about twenty convicts, who
had been sent up for carrying conceal

these men were exactly the same as
that of Marvin, and he could see no
