WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-The last time
Judge jackson was in Washington was
on the occasion of the rehearing in the
income tax cases last May He sat
through the argument, which con-
tinued for three days, took part in the
consultation of the court and when
the day arrived for the announcement
of the decision not only listened pa
tiently to the opinion of most of the
other members of the court, but de-
livered a vigorous opinion of his own
in support of the validity of the law.
This occurred on May 20, and was his
last public appearance.
When Judge Jackson was here on
this occasion it was evident to all who
came in contact with him that life was
slowly but surely ebbing away, and
that the effort he made in performing
his duties in that emergency was made
at the expense of his vitality.
AS senator and justice of the SUI
preme court Mr.. Jackson had resided
in Washington about eight years His
associates here were confined largely
to his colleagues on the bench and in
the senate chamber. BY them he was
universally esteemed as a man of high
moral worth and rich intellectual at
tainments, as was evidenced in nothing
so much as in his appointment to the
supreme bench by President Harrison
and his confirmation by a Repu blicau
senate, Notwithstanding he was 3

WASHINGTON. Aug. 9.-When Justice
jackson was so seriously i'll this spring
that he was not expected to recover,
the name of his successor was constant

would again name Messrs. Peckham or

to Don M. Dickinson. Postmaster
General Wilson was strongly spoken OF

A TRAIN STOPPED BY A MOUSE
On the Italian railways an electrical
apparatus, upon the departure of a
train from any station, rings six strokes
upon a gong in the next station. The
stationmaster at Capri, hearing three
strokes when there should have been
six, Immediately came to the conclu-
sion that there was something wrong
on the line, and ordered up the electric
signals of warning. The train, which
was by this time under full headway,
came to dead stop.
Then began transfer of telegraphic
messages. The passengers were anx-
ious to know what was the matter.
They waited while the messages went
back and forth. The inquiry establish
ed the fact that everything was right
on the line, and the train was ordered
forward after considerable delay.
The stationmaster about this time
thought it might we'll to look into his
gong, and there he found, stuck fast
between the cogs of the electrical
apparatus, mouse.
The unhappy animal happened to be
in the interior of the clock when it
"struck one," and down he attempted
to run, but was caught between the
murderous wheels. His little body
was big enough to stop the whole
apparatus, and consequently the train
as we'll.

LETTER FROM UNION COUNTY.
Death of Mrs. Rhyne-A Bloody Tragedy
Recalled-Children's Day-Big Reunion

Death of Mrs. Rhyne-A Bloody Tragedy
Observation-Disclosures Day-Big Reunion
on August 2.
Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
ETA JANE, July 2O.-Mrs. Ila Rhyme
died at her home in Gastonia, n. c.,
one day this week, after an illness of
IA days, with typhoid fever. She left
a husband and three children the
youngest being only 9 months of age)
and host of relatives and friends to
mourn her loss.
Mrs. Rhyme was a native of this
county and has history which many
of the older people of Western York
will remember, and which probably,
will not be amiss to report here, brief
ly. She was the infant daughter of
DR.. Alexander White, who was as
sassinated on the night of August "a,
1865. He was sitting at the window
with the child on his knee. She be-
came fretful, and as her mother took
her from his arms to quiet her, a flash
from the outside and a report from a
heavily loaded gun rang out upon the
air, and before it's echo had ceased
to reverberate among the hills of Alb
ingdon creek, the immortal spirit of
Alexander White had returned to the
God who gave it. One moment longer
and the child would have shared the
fate of it's father.
Wednesday, July 81, will be observ-
ed as Children's Day at Salem church.
The Hopewell and Broad River Acade-
my Sunday-schools Of York county,
will be fully represented among the
actors, and a general invitation to
everybody friendly to the cause is re-
spectfully invited to attend. The
Blairsville band is expected to furnish
music for the occasion, and the ladies
will please remember that they are ex-
pected to bring we'll filled baskets
with them. We hope THE ENQUIRER
will have its representative there and
we will give him hearty welcome.
The Union County Veterans asso-
citation will hold their reunion at
Jonesville on the End day of August.
General NJ. C. Butler, Judge w. H.
Brawley and other distinguished ex-
soldiers are expected to be there.
Preparations are being made to enter
5000 people. The military encamp-
ment will continue from the 30th of
July to the 3rd of August, inclusive.

A DOG THAT REPAID A TRICK.

A gentleman in Bristol, England,
owned dog remarkable for both in.
telligence and devotion. The dog had
been taught to run errands. 1t was a
part of his daily duty to 20 to the
meat market, carrying a basket in
which was the money to pay for the
meat.
One day his master thought he
would put new test to the dogs
faithfulness and intelligence. He in
structed the man who kept the mar
ket to take the money as usual, but to
refuse the meat, and order the dog to
20 home without it. This the market
man did, and the poor dog returned
to the house detected, melancholy and
slow, with ears and tail hanging, and
with the basket empty.
Seeing his master, he seemed to try
to put on all air Of cheerfulness, evil

he understood. But no; the master
frowned upon him, scolded him harsh
ly, and bade him 60 out of his sight.
This was almost more than the poor
fellow could bear, and sneaking out,
he crept under a table in an outer
shed, where he lay for two days, to
all appearances in state of gloomy
despair.
On the third day his master called
him out, speaking kindly to him again,
and the dog was wild with joy. Again
his master sent him to market with the
money in his basket. The dog went
in, but this time he placed the money
on the floor, and put his paw on it before
he allowed the market-man to take
the basket. Then the man gave him
the meat; the dog quickly whisked
the money back into the basket and

GOING SECURITY.-I affirm that the
system of indorsing is all wrong, and
and should be utterly abolished. I
believe that it has been the financial
ruin of more men than-perhaps-
all other causes. l think that our
young men, especially, should study
the matter carefully in all its bear
ings, and adopt some settled poll
cy to govern their conduct, so as to
be ready to answer the man who asks
them to sign his note. What respon-
sbility does one assume when he in
dorses a note9 Simply this: He is
held for the payment of the amount in
full principle and interest, if the max
er of the note, through misfortune or
mismanagement or rascality fails to
pay it. Notice, the indorser assumes
all the responsibility, with no voice in
the management of the business, and
no share in the profits of the transac-
ton, if it prove profitable but with
certainty of loss if for any of the
reasons stated, the principal fails to
pay the note.

of Negroes will be disfranchised with
out fraud or without infringing on the
18th amendment to the United States
constitution. Should we ever have a
government that would appoint regis
tration officers who wanted to enroll
the Negroes as voters, this scheme
would not work. But there is diff
ference between having it in the con-
stitution and depending on the eight
box and registration laws. A de-
feated minority of white men could
never obtain control of the govern
ment by using the Negro vote.
Such a minority must obtain control
of the government by obtaining a white
majority first, and it would then have
no need of the Negro.
"Another safeguard would be to pro-
vide that no illiterate person failing of
the necessary requirements for regis
tration, will be eligible after the first
election, and that after FIVE years the
requirements for registration be the
ability to read and write pure and
simple. This would act as a spur to
men of both races to fit themselves for
the suffrage, and would not perpetuate
the confessedly obnoxious but neces-
sary provisions of trusting to the judg-
ment of the supervisor. The charge
that such system would perpetuate
dishonest elections is false"
Continuing, Senator Tillman said {:
eff this scheme is not adopted, then,
so far as 1 can see, there is nothing else
to do but have qualified woman's suf-
frage and hide behind petticoats. am
perfectly willing to give the women of
South Carolina the right to vote when
they ask for it, but don't believe they
want it, and until they do ask for it,
I prefer the other plan"

RULES FOR BICYCLE RIDING.-A
surgeon gives, in an English magazine,
some excellent rules for bicycle rid
ing:
/. Never ride within half an hour
of "a meal, which means either before
or after.
2. Wheel the machine up any hill
the mounting of which on the wheel
causes any real effort.
8. See that the clothing round the
stomach, neck, and chest is loose.
4. Have the handle bar sufficiently
raised to prevent STOPPING.
5. Be as sparing as possible of taking
fluids during long ride. Rinsing the
mouth thoroughly, as we'll as gargling
with cold water, will quench the thirst
as we'll as, if not better than, taking
fluids into the stomach in large guam
titles.
6. Except the wind, roads, etc., be
favorable, never ride more than 10
miles an hour, except for very short
distances.
Attention to these points will tend
to relieve the pressue on the right side
of the heart, breathlessness will large
ly be prevented, and even persons
with certain forms of heart disease
may ride with safety.

TILLMAN'S PLAN.
How White Supremacy May BE Secured In
the State.

How White Supremacy May BE Secured In
the State.
Senator Tillman has unfolded his
plan for regulating the suffrage ques-
ton. He promulgated it in a speech
to 600 people at Hunters Ferry, in
Baruwell county, on last Tuesday. A
reporter of the Columbia State, who
was present, reported him as follows {:
~ have given great deal of thought
to this matter. The 18th amendment
is an insuperable bar to permanent
and lasting arrangement. Any scheme
that may be adopted can only be tenn
porary, and will be largely dependent
on white unity, as it is upon the ad-
ministration of the law rather than in
its language we must rely. This has
been the case with the registration
law and the eight box law. AS long
as mo discrimination on account of
race or color can be made, even an
educational qualification pure and
simple would only serve it's purpose Of
disfranchising the Negro while he re-
mains ignorant. How then can we
disfranchise illiterate Negroes without
at the same time taking the right of
suffrage from the same class of white
men? tits easy enough and cannot
be called a fraudulent system. The
Mississippi constitution provides that
every voter must be registered, and
that the applicant for registration must
be able to read a clause in the consti-
tuition, or be able to understand and
explain it when read to him. The
right to judge of the latter rests with
the supervisors of registration. If the
applicant can read he must be register
ed, and, therefore, be allowed to vote.
eff he cannot, it is easy to see that
the Negro could not understand, while
the white man would. This is natural, ,
as the whites are the more intelligent
race. Couple provision forbidding
registration after conviction for crime,
and require the applicant to be also
possessed of q good moral character,
and you can see how many thousands
