EASTERN ELECTIONS.


The Eastern elections developed but
one real surprise, namely, that Maryland
was lost 10 the Democracy. This was not
expected, but in all other respects the
outcome in the several States had been
anticipated by careful observers ofthe
drift of political sentiment.
Tammany has again taken possession
of New York City, but the State as a
whole is Republican, with Legislature
so strong for that faith that Tammsny in
huence in it will be of no avail for the
chiefs of that organization.
We had expected Kentucky to go Re-
publican. Changes have been going on
in that State for the past three years that
indicated presently a revolution Of po-
litical sentiment. In all the other States
Republican strength has been aug
mented. These facts must be taken as
indicating the drift of sentiment for the
campaign of 1896. The Republican party
has every reason to look forward to a
National victory in that year.

for the appointment Of Mn. Williamson.
He said that State Quarantine officer
McCaw. who is familiar with Mr. Will

would heartily indorse him. For his own

Der OF the board wished to do 30 he Nigh t
move to have the Office declared vacant
and then the board could proceed to the
election of successor to Mr.. Stephenson.
He was well aware of Mr.. Williamson's
qualifications for the place, but 80 far as
be the Chairman was concerned, he did
not believe in putting one man out OF
office merely to make place for another
who had been unfortunate in business.
Mr.. Bruner said he had assumed that
the office Is already vacant-that Mr.. Ste
phenson's term had expired.
Supervisor Todd said he understood
that Mr.. Stephenson was holding the
office at the pleasure of the board. and
that no vacancy existed.
Messrs. Bruner and Runyon then with

FROM ALL OVER THE STATE.
Hog and HOminy I'm York.

There has, perhaps, been less corn
and bacon sold to the farmers of York
County during the present year than
during any year since the war, and
the outlook now is that even less will
be sold next year than this, as the corn
acreage - the largest in the history
of the county, and according to the re-
turns as made to the county auditor,
there has been avery gratifying increase
in the number Of hogs that will be
ready to he converted into bacon. hams
and lard this winter, as compared to
last, and that of last winter was larger
than in any one year within the recol-
lection Of the writer. There has been
no considerable increase in the supply
of home raised -four, but it is TO be
hoped that now that there are local
facilities for producing tirst-class roller
process flour, the farmers will take ad-
vantage of their opportunities and
raise all the wheat necessary for making
their own biscuits on their own farms.
Everybody, or almost erybodv, an
tlClpates great Improvement in the
business affairs of this section during
the coming fall and winter, as compared
with the past three or four years.
While the cotton acreage is not so
large a last year, and the yield will
not be so great,it is thegeneral opinion
that better prices will be realized, and
as consequence there will be more
money than usual with which to do
business.

The Girl Evangelist.

The young colored girl evangelist,
Claretta Nora Avery, who has been
creating such STIR among the negroes
in this State, spent last week in Ben

Baptist Church. During her stay in
Bennettsville your correspondent
heard her twice, the first time she
preached by special invitation in the
Courthouse to large audience COM
posed of whites and colored and va
riously estimated ut from 500 to 600.
Her text on the former occasion was,

peat about one third of each of them.
four correspondent was impressed
with the marked similarity between
each OF the sermons he heard. 1t is
curious, however, to note the superst-
tlons among the negroes regarding her,
some OF them believing that she is an
angel sent from God.
