Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1895-11-27

General Schofield went to the Atlanta
exposition sometime ago, and within a
few short days took in everything" In
speaking about the growth and develop
ment of the South he said: "South Caro-
lima is paying dearly for being the birth
place of secession. The State is virtually
where it was in 1866, and it is likely to
remain there for generation to come.
South Carolina was especially devastated
by the war. So far, she has shown little
disposition to recover her standing, and, as
a result, all of her best young men, full OF
there have gone to other fields"
The Manufacturers Record takes occasion
to challenge the statement of General
Schofield and show that South Carolina
has not only made wonderful progress in
every line of industry but that in cotton
she leads the whole South.
We are glad to have The Manufacturers
Record to take our part; but really we
think it is hardly necessary, for the rea-
son that nobody who knows Schofield is
inclined to believe what he says anyhow.
His standing in the army is only the re-
suit of time and accident, and, as rule,
when he opens his mouth, it is only to in
sert his foot.

went by private conveyance to Chester,
stopping at Guthriesville for Representa-
tive Elder, who was still too unwell to 60.
In Columbia, the York delegation found
large delegation from Rock Hill, and
the situation just as the kilograms had
represented it; rather desperate. There
seemed to be a general sentiment in favor
of the creation of the new county of Sea-
brook to get rid of some objectional terri
tory that nobody seems to want, and the
proposition was to ride Rock Hill in on
this. Both the Rock Hill and Yorkville
delegations worked with the greatest
energy for their respective objects, and
did not cease their efforts until the matter
was settled as elsewhere related.
After the vote was over, Mr.. w. r.
Carroll suggested a Gaming. Messrs. b.
n. Moore, w. B. Moore, r. w. Hutson,
T. f. Mellow, w. Adickes, w. C.. Gist
and others seconded the idea, whereupon
a committee went out and bought half
dozen of the finest canes that could be
found, had them engraved with names
and dates, and in the headquarters of the
delegation at the hotel, Senator Finley
acting as spokesman, presented them in a
handsome manner to Delegate j. S. Brice,
Representatives Carroll and Love, and
Messrs. Neil, Jackson and Hall.
Most Of the members of the Rock Hill
delegation took their final defeat in good
part, and all of the members Of both dele
cations who were not detained by other
business, returned home greatly relieved
that long, fierce fight was finally at an
end

BLAcKsBURG, November 26.-Our peo-
pie are still going to Atlanta to attend the
exposition. Yesterday, Mrs. NJ. +. Deal,
with Miss Catherine and Master Frank
Deal, Miss Mary Deal, Mrs. y. c. Mccoy,
and Messrs. Ed Duff, Jacob Hambright
and - Hambright left OH the IL O'Clock
vestbule train over the Southern road {;
and later in the day, Mr.. and Mrs. Max
well, Mr.. and Mrs. Wilcox, and Mr.. and
Mrs. y. w. Hardin, with Miss Lalla
Black, went in Superintendent Tripp's
private car of the o. r. Il c. road, over
the S. 4. l..
From my own experience at the expo
sition, would advise every one who can
possibly afford it, to go and see this Won
derful display of Southern enterprise,
ingenuity and resources. Such an oppor-
tunity may not again be offered for years,
to behold in one enclosure, the varied
products of Southern industry and skill,
and not only these, which are worth the
cost of the trip; but besides can be seen
the inhabitants of other countries with
their peculiar habits of dress, manners

and customs, many wonders of the world,
the finest music, the most beautiful display
of artistic paintings, curious relics, the
latest methods of teaching, the most won
derful machinery, and splendid and very
interesting exhibition Of fishes, and hum
hundreds of other things. There is not
an object within the vast grounds lacking
in interest.
All this great show is almost at our
very door, the cost Of board and lodging
in Atlanta has been reduced to MIMI
mum, and there seems to be no disposi-
ton on the part of her people to impose
upon their guests. I sincerely trust that
the readers of THE ENQUIRER will make
the effort and go, and enjoy the exposition
as much as did.
On Friday last, there was very happy
reunion at the residence of Mr.. A. f.
Moore, of the immediate family Of his
mother, Mrs. Grizzly Moore, who is near
ing her S4th bir thday. Mrs. Moore was
born and raised in Rutherford county, n.
C. Her maiden name was Flack, and
she came from strong and sturdy family
of honorable, hightoned and intelligent
people. She possesses and has always
manifested in an eminent degree, these
characteristics of her ancestors, and 1t is
but fitting that she should have peculiar
honor paid to her in her old age. She is
still remarkably vigorous, both in mind
and body, and bids fair to celebrate quite
a number of her birthdays yet.
MIR. Joseph Mintz recently presented
me with some mammoth ounces which
are really wonderful as to beauty and
size. They weigh from one-and-a-halft to
two pounds, and unlike the ordinary
ounce, are perfect and do not rot easily.
On that account, especially, they are very
desirable fruit for this county. Mr.. Mintz
obtained the first tree from Georgia, and
now has number which yield we'll.

ORIGINATED IN MALICE.
HooDTowN, November %, 1895,

ttOODTO"N, -NONeIllDer 20, looo,
Editor of THE ENQUIRER: I notice in
your issue Of last Friday the following:
"THE ENQUIRER has been reliably in
formed that Whitecaps have been at work
in BullOck's Creek township recently
but is unable to give authentic particu-
lars"
am glad you published the above state
ment 1t relates to me. There is no truth
in it, however. 1t was based on malicious
rumor started by some sneaking enemy.
l have no doubt that you thought you
were reliably informed; because the story
has been spread so insidiously and so
industriously, that many good people who
do not understand the situation, really be-
lieve it is true. The first part of the story
asserts the occurrence of horrible SANDER,
and the Whitecap story seems to have been
started to give the slander a greater SEM
blance Of truth. The story is too shocking
for publication, and was not informed of
its import until it had gotten well crcu-
lated, and not even then, except through
my friends. l have been made to feel
most bitterly lately the terrible effects of
slanderous tongues, and your publication
has given me the first opportunity have
had, to assure those who respect me as
man and as a citizen, that there is no truth

COUNTY DIVISION AGAIN.

Alarming kilograms from Columbia
last Saturday afternoon announced the
greatest danger Of division that the coun-
ty question would come up again Monday
morning in an effort to tack Rock Hill on
as rider to Seahrook." The kilograms
asked for al influential delegation at once.
People who had not previously been
interested became thoroughly aroused,
and announced their willingness to do
what they could. One man offered to pay
the expenses of good representative.
Another offered to pay the expenses OF
two or more, and others offered to sub
scribe from ten dollars down. 1t is doubt
full if Yorkville ever before exhibited
greater earnestness in anything.
Senator Finley was wanted but was IN
Rock Hill. He was telegraphed for and
at once announced his purpose to meet
delegation from Yorkville in Columbia.
He left on the first train. Messrs. j.. w.
Neil and w. Thompson Jackson were
telegraphed for at Glover. Mr.. Neil tele-
graphed that he was sick, and did lnot
think he could go unless he got better.
Mr.. Jackson telegraphed that he would be
there. a special messenger was sent for
Mr.. w. \. Elder. The answer was to the
effect that Mr.. Elder was unwell and could
not go. Representative Love was in
YWkville when the telegram reached
here, land at the request of citizens, agreed
to 90 10 Columbia and do what he could.
Repres fntative Carroll had been in Co.
lumbia ever since the question was up
before ard was still on guard.
\ delegation offour or five left Yorkville
on Saturday night by the Narrow Gauge
train. The delegation was Joined at the
station by Mi. w. II. Jackson, who had
come down OF the train from Glover,
and at McConnellsville by Representative
Love. Next dayI Messrs. J. w. Neil, w.

WORK ON THE ROADS.

The work of the convict gang on the
Kings Mountain road, under the super
vision Of Mr.. J. B. Mendenhall, is pro-
crossing as satisfactorily as could be
expected with the facilities in use; but
probably not so satisfactory as would be
the case with slightly increased facilities.
At present the gang consists OF 26 con-
victs. Their only tools are picks and
shovels, and their progress, of course, Is
not so rapid as it would be with the help
of mules and machinery. The county
has good road machine and rock
crusher. Though the use OF the crusher
may be desirable, there are those who
will argue that it cannot be made aValla-
BILE for the reason that its operation will
be too expensive. To make the road
machine available will, we are informed,
require the use of about four good, strong
mules. These would cost from $500 to
S40O with feed in addition. 1t is estimat-
ed, however, that they will make it posi-
BILE to more than trebble the efficiency OF
the present force.
Then, there is another thing. The work
on the roads as it is now being pushed,
consists merely in shaping up the loose
earth. Although good deal of attention is
being paid to the drainage, when the rains
come, the probability is that there will be
lots of mud-possibly enough to render
the roads practically impossible. This
can be prevented to a certain extent by
having the work well rolled. In addition
to the road machine, the county there
fore needs roller.
We have no doubt that the work on the
roads is being looked after as well as
could be expected as far as it goes; but
there is room for doubt as to whether it
goes far enough. The present operations
are quite expensive but if at a slightly
greater outlay these operations can be
doubled or trebbled, good business man.
agement seems to require that this slight
ly greater outlay should be made.

The constitutional convention agreed
last Friday to modification ofthe section
relating to divorce. The modification
provides that the divorces of other States
shall be recognized in this State, in cases
where the marriage ceremony had not
been performed in this State, and where
one or the other of the parties was neither
native of this State, or resident at the
time of the marriage. We think this
provision is a very wise one. The con-
yention is right in prohibiting divorces in
this State, and in refusing to recognize
divorces granted to citizens of this State
by another State; but we think that goes
far enough. If divorced citizens of other
States desire to live here, we cannot see
the justice in putting them under a ban.
Our divorce law is now perfect.

YORKVILLE, s. c.:
WEDNESDAY, NOV. 27, 1895.

- The new article on the judiciary de-
partment, makes possible the establish
ment of county courts similar to those
that existed Immediately after the war.
The matter is left to the people, however.
The courts cannot be established except
on vote of majority of the people, and
the subsequent consent of the legislature.
This is good. The people are not prepared
for any radical change in the judiciary
system just yet, and it is we'll that they
shall have plenty of time to think about
the matter.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1895-11-27

- The United States supreme court has
dismissed without cost to either party, the
case of Mills VS.. Green, involving the le-
gality of the calling of the constitutional
convention, now about through its session.
This settles all possibility of multiplying
the work of the convention on the ground
that the body was illegally called. II
there is any more litigation in regard
to the matter, it will probably involve
the constitutionality of the franchise
article recently adopted. Even this can
not amount to much. If the franchise
article is not constitutional now, it will be
constitutional as soon as the understand
ing clause is dropped, and that will be be-
fore the supreme court is likely to have
decided any case that may be brought be-
fore it in the meantime.

WHO HE IS.

There has been great deal of curiosity
as to the identity of our Chester weather
prophet. The prophet has been aware Of
the fact for sometime, and now essays to
satisfy it; but as to how well he has Sue
ceeded, each reader will have to judge for
himself. Here is what he has to say:
"As to height, color of hair and eyes,
and shape of nose, there can be no mis-
take; but in regard to the matter OF age,
there is doubt. However, will pass for
a white man anywhere.
"All old men are expected to have a
war record. I have one. 1t may not be
brilliant: but it is wonderful all the same.
Wherever the enemy saw me they
opened fire at once with rifles, muskets
and artillery. 1t was probably on ac-
count of the color of my eyes and hair,
and the shape of my nose. But they
would never venture to close quarters.
When I advanced, they retreated in con-
fusion. Every attempt to capture breast
works, battery or picket line where was,
proved failure. All Of our generals
wondered at it; but they never saw the
point.
"People can change their names; but
not their looks. Therefore, a description
is often better than a name, and with this
description it looks as if almost anybody
ought to be able to point out the Chester
weather prophet wherever they see him.
Remember the description height, size,
color of hair and eyes, shape and size Of
nose, length of arms, length and shape Of
legs, etc. can be seen either in Fair
field, Chester, York or Kershaw counties
at almost anytime; but I never 60 into
deep weeds, climb trees or run for sheriff,
legislature or congress-"

City Editor Vowel, of the Huntington,
West Virginia, Times, was last week fined
$50 and sentenced to 10 days in jail for
criticising the Judge Of criminal court.
Upon little reflection, the reader is
bound to arrive at the conclusion that
there is something wrong here. The
editor has the same right to criticise the
iudge e as anybody else. He has no right
to criticise anybody wrongfully, and
whether rightfully or wrongfully, he is
responsible both personally and legally.
If the Judge felt himself aggrieved and
saw fit, he HAD the right to seek personal
or legal satisfaction. 10 our notion, how
ever, he had no right whatever to use a
power that had been given him for other
purposes in the venting of bis own per-
sonal revenge. He should have Lett it to
a Jury to decide whether the editor>bad
really been guilty of contempt Of courtS
and then acted on their verdict or, better
still, left it to some one else to act. We
have more than once noted the circum-
stance of editors being fined for contempt
of court; but in the absence of statute
making criticism of Il Judge misdemean-
or, we are unable to see that the Judge
is any more competent to decide whether
the editor is in contempt than is the
editor to decide whether the judge has
laid himself open to just criticism. 1t
would be much better, we think to pro-
tect judges by statute, rather than vest in
them such an arbitrary use of power.
