WEATHER PREDICTIONS.

Our Chester weather prophet has sent
his last predictions for the year 1895. They
read as follows:
From December to 5, cool and windy
with some frost and ice. From 6 to 8,
some clouds, little if any rain; but cool
and unsettled weather. From 8 to IL,
cold and windy. From II to IA, very cool
with some appearance of snow. From 10
to II, WARMER, with probably some light
rain. From IS to 81, warm and pleasant.
From % to 25, cloudy, with some light
rain, and from 26 to 81, clear and pleas
ant, just as will be desired for Christmas
frolics.
January and will be wet and cold, 3,
4 and will be cold, windy and disagree
able. After that the month will be gentr-
ally warm and wet. The first half Of Feb
ruary will be very wet and disagreeble.
During the last half especially after the
24th, there will be cold rain, ,sleet and snow.
March will be windy and wet. On the 9th,
10th and l1th, there will be cold rain, sleet
and snow. April will he stormy and un-
settled. Such are the signs for the winter
and spring weather, and so ends my pre-
dictions for this time.

- 1he State fair has just closed, and not
withstanding the competition of the Allan
ia exposition, it has been quite success
Exclusive of those who went through
the gates on passes, the record shows that
the attendance during the week was $685.
This means that there has been put in
circulation in Columbia, as the result Of the
fair, somewhere between S75, 900 and $780,
600 that the city would not have otherwise
gotten. The fair has evidently been q
good thing for Columbia at very small
cost, and its success, under the adverse
circumstances under which it has been
held, certainly shows that it is strongly
entrenched in the hearts of the people OF
the State. The business men Of Columbia
will do well to take a lesson from their eX-
perience this year, and hereafter devote
themselves with still greater energy to
pushing the institution for all it is worth.
The fact that it can exist practically with
out help, and in competition with an
overshadowing exposition, is most start
ling promise of what it might develop into
with proper backing.

REV. TAKADA's FAREWELL.

Rev. Toll Takada, the Japanese Theo-

known in this section, is about to return
to Japan. In last Saturdays Columbia

the new addition to the Globe mills.
The Southern railway is building new

Though the present cotton crop is not
so large as it might have been, it is much
better than was expected sometime back.
Ordinarily we would not be disposed to
give this fact away; but the spectators
know it, and it is we'll that our people
should know that the spectators have
the information. We believe that prices
will yet be higher; but would not like to
make guarantee to that effect, because
there are at work too many other influ-
ences in addition to supply and demand.
With absolutely nothing to serve as re-
liable guide as to what is best to do, it must
necessarily be case of every man for
himself.

had nothing to eat but crackers, and when
they did get out, they were not only
thoroughly broke down, but in pretty
bad humor as well.
But this is Judge Townsend's way. He
says he has been used to hard work all
his life, and now it is habit. The
Charleston lawyers long had slow, poky
way of doing business, and when he was
there, he Strengthened things out in way
that will not soon be forgotten. At Winns-
boro, he adjourned court sine die because
the lawyers were not ready, and he was
unwilling to stay in town and do nothing
for two or three days until Monday. His
reputation had gone ahead to Lancaster,
Chester and Yorkville, and he had but
little trouble. He transacted more busi-
ness than has ever been transacted by any
other Judge in the same length of time ;
but, all the same, the lawyers don't like
him. They think he works too hard.

THE ENQUIRER is informed that Mr..

least two, and possibly three trains ran

Brabson- Rose.
The Columbia State of the 18th instant
contains quite an elaborate account OF the
marriage of Miss Marguerite Lillian Rose,
of Columbia. to Mr.. Oscar Minor Brab-
son, Of Limestone, Tenn. The marriage
occurred in Trinity church, Columbia, on
the 18th instant. The ushers were Messrs.
Harry Smith, of Yorkville, and Willie
Swygert, John Annette and James Ride
out, of Columbia. Miss Willie Rose, Of
York Vile, was the maid Of honor, and
Mr.. George w. Dougherty, of Green
vile, Tenn, was best man. The other
attendants were Miss Clara Tolleson,
of Gaffney City, with Mr.. T. P. 6.
Reasoner, of Columbia, and Miss Sadie
Smith, of fYorkville, with MIR. Leslie Hol-
land, of Columbia. The flower bearers
were Master Montieth, of Columbia, and
Daisy Smith, OF Charleston, and Eula
Rose, of Yorkville, with Arthur Smith, of
Columbia. The church was beautifully
decorated, and the ceremony took place
under a great floral bell. After the
marriage, the bride and groom repaired
to the home of Mrs. Rose and received
their friends. They were the recipients Of
numerous and valuable presents. They
afterward went to the Atlanta exposition,
from whence it was their intention to go to
Washington and Quebec.

A comparatively small amount oi
wheat has been sown in this county sc
far this year. 1t would have been better
if wheat had been sown earlier; but it is
not too late yet, and our farmers will dc
well to give the matter their serious con-
sideration. The present outlook is that
the cotton planters next year are going te
put in one of the biggest crops that has
ever been known, and if they do cotton
will be low and wheat will be high
Wheat is a good crop to SOW under any
circumstances, and the man who sows il
this year will have especial cause for con-
graduation next fall.

The constitutional convention is now
in it's 10th week of working session. Sc
far, 12 articles have been considered
Eight of these have been completed, and
four have passed second reading with
the exception of few sections. The arti
cles on counties and county governments
and Jurisprudence are waiting a third
reading, and there are two articles-judi-
cial department and eminent domain
that have not yet been touched. 1t is
thought, however, that must of the hard
work is over, and that the convention will
be ableto adjourn about the second week
in December.

MISSIONARY COTTON.
How the Young People Of Clover Raised q
Big Amount Of Cash.

CLOVER, November 1S.-At the begin
ming of the season, the young people OF
Clover Presbyterian church agreed to
take a certain amount of cotton seed, to
be planted for the benefit of the mission
ary and other causes Of the church. This
was, of course, confined to those so sltuat-
ed as to be able to plant.
Between 45 and so quarts Of seed were
distributed, giving from one to two quarts
to each person. The seed used was the
"King's Improved,"a very superior vari-
ety introduced into this section by Mr..
John Frank Jackson, which had been
proved to produce heavy yield OF seed
cotton, with 40 per cent. OF lint.
Saturday, the 10th instant, was appoint
ed as the time for the cotton to be brought
in, and a general invitation was given to
the congregation to meet for basket
picnic, The weather was favorable, and
quite large assembly, composed OF all
ages, gathered at the school grounds.
But few families in the church were
unrepresented.
Twenty four hundred pounds of seed
cotton was brought in, and on being GIN
ned it yielded 9O7 pounds of lint. This
was sold, and it brought the top Of the
market, amounting to S7O.s5. The seed
was sold at auction for $5.S2, and the
whole amount realized from the cotton
was S76.67.
This was a very gratifying result, to-
gether with the general good will and
cheer OF all present, and the bounteous
picnic dinner, made the occasion one OF
unusual pleasure and qualification. We
feel very proud of our young people for
the readiness with which they entered
into the work, and the efficiency with
which they carried it to so successful
result. H.

THE YoRKVILLE ENQUIRER says !:


"The Herald charges in effect that we
consistently ignore its editorial structures.
Granting the last statement to be true, it
seems that even The Herald should be
intelligent enough to know the reason
why"
Yes, it is true that "even The Herald"
has Intelligence enough to know the
reason why" 1t knows that THE EN-
QUIRER has not the courage of its con-
victions, and will not defend any cause
when it thinks its pocket book may suffer
thereby. "Even THE ENQUIRER has
sense enough to know" that its course in
attempting to make the new county mat
ter an issue in the recent campaign and
its later misrepresentation of the action OF
our citizens who went to Columbia two
weeks ago to ask that the convention do not
discriminate against them, has been very
generally condemned in this section of the
county. Herein lies "thc reason why" as
everybody knows, who has amy knowl-
edge OF the record Of that journal. 1t saw
in any further agitation the possible loss
of a few dollars. s."-Rock Hill Herald.
Last week The Herald misquoted THE
ENQUIRER for the evident purpose of
being able to make Il point that could not

has becn almost unprecedented. Last
week there was q crash. The infla-
ton leaked out, and in short time
the stocks went down to something
like par. As the result, about forty
old and wellknown houses, members
of the Stock Exchange, have been Sc
verely crippled. Barnato came to the
rescue as best he could, and is carry
ing quite number of the houses at
his own expense; but the situation
is generally regarded as such that the
Stock Exchange will feel for months to
come, a stringency that has not been
known since the failure of the Barings.

HE IS A WORKER,

Judge Townsend is not a man who is
likely to acquire any considerable degree
of popularity with the lawyers, jurors
and other court officials. At least not on
short notice. He holds the reigns too
of rush. Generally, the Judges action
here was attributed to a desire to get
home but those who understand his
honor better, say that hard work is his
leading characteristic.
During the term Of court just closed,
the judge, OIL one occasion, told tardy
Juror that he had delayed the court s.
worth, and he subsequently told one OF
the lawyers that he had cost the county
$l5 1t was rumored on the streets that
the juror and lawyer had been fined as
indicated but inquiry of the clerk dcvel-
oped the fact such was not the case. No
fines had been recorded. The judge had
not considered the real or supposed delay
caused by the lawyer and juror us inten-
tional, and what he said to them was only
by way of warning.
One day during the term, while the
court was engaged in the trial of the case
of Jacob B. Ross VS.. Jones, Blanton IL
Co., a session was commenced at 9 O'Clock
in the morning. The argument was con-
cluded at about 4 o'clock in the afternoon,
and everybody naturally supposed that
there would be an adjournment for dinner.
But not so. His honor remarked some
thing like this: "The jurors would liketo
get through I think the sheriff and clerk
can stand it know can, and the balance
of you will have to-" So the case went on,
and there was no adjournment until long
after dark. The lawyers were kept on
their feet nearly all day. Some of them

YORKVILLE, 8. @. :
WEDNESDAY, NOV. 20, 1895.

The British government is said to be
seriously considering the adoption Of a
proposition that is in many respects like
the sub-treasury plan of the Farmers
Alliance. Here is the idea: Many British
landed estates are mortgaged at for pretty
nearly their full value at S per cent. inter-
est. The scheme is that the government
shall consolidate all mortgages and take
them up with bonds bearing 3per cent.
interest. By this arrangement, the land
owners will be saved 2 per cent. interest.

- Clemson college is evidently not all
that it SHOULD be. Sometime ago cores
pondent of the Columbia State went to the
college and reported not only state of
bick ering, jealousy and dissatisfaction; but
also considerable lack of efficiency. The
report met with prompt and indignant
denial from members Of the faculty and
Others and responsibility for it was sad
died on the wellknown antipathy Of The
State to everything connected with the
administration. In the convention last
Friday, George D. Tillman made bitter
onslaught against the college, and although
he said some things that were true, he said
a great many things that were not true.
It was very clear that the animus of his
remarks were directed mainly at his Bro
ther Ben. Senator Tillman replied in a
very liberal and forcible speech. He de-
Tended the college; but did not seek to
deny that the institution was not all that
he would like to see it. He admitted that
abuses existed, and that he had several
times attempted to call for an investigation
of them by the legislature; but has been
deferred on account of his aversion to hav-
ing the "dirty linen" ofthe college washed
before the public. So it seems that, after
all, there is something in the charges that
were published sometime ago, and now
that Senator Tillman himself has made the
matter public, it would appear that the
best thing to be done is to have the dirty
linen" washed. 1t will be disagreeable;
but so long as it is known that the linen is
dirty, the college cannot be expected to do
much more good. A thorough investi-
CATION, and if necessary, thorough reor-
ganization, is very properly in order.

be based on anything that The ENaUIR-
Err had either said or implied. THE EN-
QU1RER called attention to the paragraph,
and showed most satisfactorily how it
could not he expected to attempt to deal
with such methods. The Herald repro
produces so much of what We said as ap-
pears at the beginning of the above ex-
tract, and then proceeds to jump to its
own selfish conclusions as before. Read
ers of THE ENQUIRER are fully aware
of all the paper has said in this matter,
and are, therefore, in position to judge
for themselves as to the reason and justice
in The Herald's petulent and uncompli-
mentary remarks. Under the circum-
stances, we do not deem it worth while
to say anything more.
