Does Much Talk Induce Long Life?-In-
terestinG Speculations.
In France a census of centenarians
has just been taken and the tabulation
shows 2l3 persons in that country who
are over 100 years OF age, says the New
York World. Of this number only 66
are men, or less than one-third. An
amusing comment on this has been
going the rounds in Paris to the effect
that the reason for this surprising COM
parativc longevity Of women is their
proncncss to talk and gossip at every
conceivable opportunity. Constant
chattcring, it is said, leads to the active
circulation of the blood, and thus re-
news the tissues of the body daily and
renders the frame particularly strong.
In all seriousness, however, have sew
eral French physicians taken up this
matter, and they have come to the con-
clusion that the reason so many more
women have attained n greater strength
Of life than men is because they have
passed through less turmoil and trouble
and have had Il more calm and less i'm
passioned existence. One case in
point is that of an old lady who died re-
Gently in the Haute Garrone, having
lived 80 years. She is supposed to
have been the oldest woman of modern
times, and all her life was spent peace
fully in hamlet in this district The
closing decade Of her life she was fed
on goats milk and cheese. In the last
few years Of her existence her body be-
came attcnuated TO an extraordinary
degree and her skin came to resemble
parchment.
The French centenarians are, as a
rule, Of the lowest class of society and
extremely poor.

THIS IS ENTERPRISE.

Messrs. w. B. Moore & Co., have
embarked in an enterprise that is de-
serving of commendation. During the
summer season, provident families
make it point to put up all the fruit
and vegetables they conveniently can
for winter use. A great drawback with
a great many people is to he found in
the fact that they can't afford to buy
expensive jars. Messrs. w. B. Moore
s. Co., have sought to overcome this
difficulty as much as possible, and to
that end they have brought on several
thousand empty cans of the kind used
by the canueries, and are offering them
for sale to the people generally. The
cans hold three pounds each, can be
sealed by anybody of average intelli-
geuce, and so soon as their merits are
generally appreciated, they will no
doubt come into general use through
the country.

ALLIANCE CAMPMEETING.

The Cotton Plant, in its last issue,
has the following to say about the big
Alliance camp meeting to be held at
Tirzah on July 25-26:
The brethren Of York county never
do things by piece-meal. On July 25th
and 26th the Alliances of that county
will 90 into an encampment at Tirzah.
Speakers of State and national reputa-
ton have been engaged for the two
days, and the brethren who find it
possible to attend may expect treat
in more ways than one in store for
them. At least 10000 people are ex-
pected to attend the encampment.
Tirzah, the place of rendezvous, is ac-
cessible by rail by the Charlotte, Col
umbia and Augusta railroad to Rock
Hill, or the Air Line to Backsburg,
and thence to Tirzah on the Three C's
road, or by the Chester and Lenoir
Narrow Gauge to Yorkville. The
speakers for the two days, as expected,
are: Hon. J. C. Sibley, of Pennsyl-
vania, candidate for president; Hon.
w. J. Bryan, of Nebraska; Senator
Marion Butler, of North Carolina, ex-
president of the National Alliance;
Hon. Thomas E. Watson, Of Georgia;
Senators Tillman and Irby, Of South
Carolina Governor John Gary Evans,
Congressman w. J. Talbert, A. c. Lati-
ner, Stanyarne Wilson, T. J. Strait;
John L. McLaurin, J. w. Stokes and
w. d. Evans, president of the State
Alliance. The two days will be oc-
cupied with speeches from these dis
tinguished gentlemen from this State
and from abroad, and with such AL
lance work as may be arranged for
the occasion, the grandest rally known
in the history of the Alliance of South
Carolina is expected.

COUNTRY PRODUCE.

Mr.. G. T. Radcliffe, of Yorkville,
for years the well-known representa-
tive of F. w. Wagner & Co., of Charles
ton, in northern South Carolina and
southern North Carolina, has given
THE ENQUIRER some valuable sugges-
tions on the subject of shipping country
produce to Charleston.
II have been doing great deal of
shipping on my own account, from
time to time" says Mr.. Radcliffe, "and
think we'll understand the situation.
I can sometimes make small profit on
poultry and eggs; but l have never
been able to do any good with butter.
The main trouble lies in the fact that
the people up this way, especially the
country people, do not seem to know
how to prepare their butter for market.
They don't put it up firmly enough,
and by the time it gets to Charleston,
it undergoes a charge that renders it
unfit for use for table purposes.
"Not long ago, while up at Lati-
more, N. c., dealer informed me that
he had shipped 35 pounds Of butter to
my house at Charleston. | had had
considerable experience, and l told
him that he should not have done it.
When the butter was sold as well as it
could be, only 10 cents a pound was
obtained for it. By the time the ex-
press charges, ETC., were paid there
was very little left for the shipper.
This is always the case unless the
butter is carefully made and carefully
packed.
"When it comes to poultry and
eggs, continued Mr.. Radcliffe, sit is
sometimes possible for the shipper from
this section to realize q reasonable
profit; but not always. The biggest
trouble is with the Express company.
Its charges are generally sufficient to
swallow up everything, and to ship
perishable articles by freight is out of
the question. The freight is so slow
and uncertain that the chances are
8 out of 10 that by the time the ship
ment arrives at its destination it will
be worthless"
From Mr.. Radcliffe's testimony, it
seems that to develop trade with
Charleston these two things are especi-

Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
ZADoK, June 26.-Corn crops are
looking well, but cotton is the sorriest
that l have ever seen at this time of
the year. What was left by the frosts
has since been a prey to the grasshop-
pers and ants.
The wheat is about all harvested
and where it was manured it was
good; but on poor land it was very
sorry.

Saturday and elected delegates to the
Fourth of July conference us follows {:
J. NJ. Thomasson, J. T. Quinn, Felix
Quinn, J. A. McMackin, l.. A. Line

other kind.

following candidates to the constitu-
tional convention: C. E. Spencer, G..

WEATHER FOR JULY.

Next month is to be hot and dry.
So says our Chester weather prophet,
and he has already shown that he
knows more about such things than
most people hereabouts. He has just
sent in his representation, which is
as follows:
"From l to 4 hot and dry. From
S to s thunder clouds and rain about in
spots. From 9 to -, very hot and but
little if any rain. From l3 to 5promis-
es dry. From 16 to 10 unsettled with
at least enough appearance of rain to
make people say it is coming. From
90 to "a changeable and cooler with
occasional showers. From % to %,
appearances Of rain. From 20 to 81
clouds in the south and east with
thunder in the evenings"
We have it pretty straight that there
is great deal of curiosity in Chester
and Southern York as to the identity
of "our prophet" We would be glad
to satisfy this curiosity by giving the
prophets name; but are under obli-
cations not to do so without his con-
sent. In the meantime we suggest
that his representations be considered
on their merits.

lations of the heralds demand that all
animals of whatever description shall

sented are traced in incorrect direc-
tions. In heraldry horizontal lines in
dicate blue, which is the proper color
for the background of shield, whereas
if they 90 other ways they mean other
colors. This being understood, de-
scription of the new seal of the depart
ment of agriculture will excite atten-
ton. In the middle Of it is shield of
azure-that is to say, with horizontal
lines running parallel across it. On the
shield is shock of corn. BY the side
of the shock is an American plow,
proper. 1t might be imagined by an
ordinary observer that the plow was
couchant, but this would be a mistake.
The ground on which the plow rests
is vert, the green tint indicated by
lines running from northwest to south
east. Around the shield are "A stars

of the seal has been sent to all the
countries of the globe.

AGAINST DIVISION.
Irby Says Conservatives VIII Take Unfair
Advantage.

Irby Says Conservatives VIII Take Unfair
Advantage.
The following "interview" with Sen
ator Irby appears in the last issue of
The Piedmont Headlight
"The mask is off" said Colonel Irby,
sand thank God for it. Reformers
have been wasting time with such
men as Williams, Gonzales, Hemphill
and other Anti leaders, thinking these
Conservatives were honest in their eff
forts to bring about peace and unity.
Their object was to get control OF the
convention in the interest of corpora
tions by deception and treachery. Till
man said this and left them. This
tore the mask from their faces. There
upon they meet in Columbia and VOL
unfairly desert the, Democratic party
and resolve to organize one of their
own, and Mr.. Carson, their chairman
of what was hoped a defunct organiza-
ton, proceeds formally to carry out
their instructions. This is barefaced
Independentism with all that word
means. l can't see, in the face of this,
how honest, loyal Reform Democrats
can affiliate with them. In truth, the
action of this committee releases every
Reformer in counties where an agree
ment had been made.
'sIf these agreements are carried out
and this Independent Executive CON-
mittee succeeds in many counties as
they purpose, then with the help
they expect to get on the plea of peace
and unity from counties in which they
have agreed, they will certainly con-
troll that convention. For instance,
they are going to make a clean cut
open fight in many counties. They
may pretend to agree in Richland aud
Charleston and other counties, and
these agreements will be repudiated on
election day as sure rs the sun shines
and Anti-Democrats elected. can
name, but perhaps it would be better
not to do it at this time, enough coun-
ties that they think they will surely
carry to aggregate 70 votes by the use
of Negro. Then if they can pick
up nine from Edgefeld, Aiken, Marion,
Lexington and Abbeville, they will
have majority of the convention.
This has been their game all along, and
corporations have been at the bottom
of the whole business.
GAS long as they pretended (and l
knew it was mere pretense) to stay in
party lines l could not attack them.
Now led by Gonzales, with such lieu
tenants as Williams and Darlington,
in open battle with the organized
Democracy, it is my duty to fight
them and defeat them as such. If our
people divide with them they can
make up their minds for these politi-
cal beneficiaries to vote with the In
dependents and the niggers as soon as
the convention is organized. They
cannot be trusted. Office and control
of the State is what they want and
nothing less will ever satisfy them.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1895-06-28

They want control of the convention
to undo and destroy everything that
has been done since 1890 and disfran-
chise enough poor and illiterate Dem
ocrats to give the rich man control of
South Carolina for all time to come.
This is plain talk, but l mean every
word / say.
"The very idea of the poor men of
Laurens voting for some peace crying
Independents to keep them from de-
serting their people, who will 60 to
Columbia and join in with the other
independent Democrats to take away
their political rights forever and place
them upon an equality with the mig
ger, is farcical. Our people are not
fools aud they will prove this when
the proper time comes. We are for
principle. If they can beat us we will
yield. If we beat them somebody else
will have to yield. 1t is no use to
disguise it any longer. The issue is
simple. The organized Democracy
and the white man VS.. Independent
ism and the nigger. We are ready
for the fight, and have no fears of the
result"
"Senator, from what you say, the
Democrats will assume that you think
the Gonzales crowd have deserted the
Democratic party"
THAT is just what mean. you
will read this address, which was evil
IDENTIFY written by Editor Williams,
you will be convinced that they have
deliberately surrendered all claims to
Democracy. 1t is addressed to the
people of South Carolina and not to
the Democratic party of the State.
The people include not only Negroes,
but Republicans with whom believe
that there has been an understanding
for more than year. The address
does not contain the word Democrat,
and it purposely ignores the general
primary ordered by the Democratic
committee, while Mr.. Gonzales in their
organ Crhe State) urges its followers in
Reform counties to make terms with
the Reformers. That is why the reso-
luton to stay out of the Democratic
primary was not carried. This was
done to fool Reformers in such coun
ties as Abbevile and Edegfeld. They
are attempting to use double barrel
ed gun on us-make an independent
straight fight in close counties and ex-
pect Democrats to compromise with
them in strong Reform counties. If
this is not so why did the members of
the conference or Anti committee ap-
plaud so vigorously the speech of Mr..
Darlington, editor Of the Spartanburg
Herald. who long ago withdrew pub
licly from the Democratic party?
They are Democrats in Reform coun-
ties where they can't elect delegate,
and Anti-Democrats in nigger or Anti
counties.
"We are not children and cannot be
fooled in any such way. However,
we must be up and doing. The con-
vention must be carried by decisive
majority. We would be in danger
with a margin of 25, for there are al
ways men who see new light after they
are sworn in Office"

LACK OF HARMONY.

All is not harmony among the Con-
servatives of this county. This fac
ton of the Democratic party seems to
be divided against itself. One element,
composed mainly of the sympathizers
with the action of the recent cOnveu-
ton at Rock Hill, wants the new con-
stitution submitted back to the people
for ratification, and the other element
is not in favor Of pressing such demand.
The lack of harmony Was made ap-
parent only at Rock Hill and Blacks
burg last Saturday, so far as heard
from.
At the meeting of the Rock Hill
Democratic club on last Friday, ac-
cording to The Herald, Messrs. w. ].
Rawlinson and It. c. 'Beckham, and
Messrs. w. B. Wilson and Iredell
Jones were appointed committees to
get up tickets for Reformers and Con-
servatives. The ticket reported by
Messrs. Wilson and Jones is the one
reported elsewhere as chosen.
Previous to the club meeting, there
was meeting in favor Of submitting
the work of the convention back to
the people. About 20 Conservatives
were present. They agreed on the
following ticket: w. J. Cherry, John
r. London, ]. ]. Hagins, w. S.
Creighton, R. H. Peacock, S. A. Few
ell, A. A. Barron, R. H. Cornwell, S.

"A large alligator crawled out of the
St. Johns river at the foot of Main
street, Jacksonville, Fla, one day
last week and dashed up the thorough
fare. The captain of steamer saw
the alligator as it came out of the
water and fired at it with a Winches-

the saurian mad. He ran amuck
through the city. The streets were
crowded with people. Ladies scream
ed and ran to cover. Men drew their
revolvers and opened a fusilade. The
big reptile was struck by hundreds of
bullets but it seemed to pay no atten-
