MISSIONARY WORK.

The young ladies of the Yorkville Pres
byterian church have formed a new mis-
sionary organization. 1t is to be known
as the Ella c. Davidson Missionary socie-
ty, and is the result of an interesting lee
ture delivered in the church here last
Monday afternoon by Mrs. j. L. Stuart
of Hangchow, China.
1t seems that during her residence in
China, Miss Davidson has been boarding
with Mrs. Stuart, and Mrs. Stuart knows
not only great deal about missionary
work in China generally; but about the
work of Miss Davidson especially, and
her inspiring account Of it was listened tC
with eager interest.
After the lecture, it was decided to or.
ganize the Ella c. Davidson Missionary
society, and the following young ladies
enrolled their names as members: Miss.
es Florrie Allison, Maggie Glenn, Mary
Clark, Sadie Dunlap, Annis O'Leary
Jeanette Davidson, Daisy Gist, Ophelis
Davidson, Georgia Witherspoon, Annie
Witherspoon, Hulda McNeel, Matte
Spencer, Claude Moore, Elise Moore
Susie Brian, Daisy Brian, Mamie McCon-
nell, Daisy Hart, Mary Hart.
Rev. w. &. Neville, the pastor OF the
church, has called a meeting of the socie'
ty to be held at 4 o'clock this afternoon
at the residence of Miss Annis O'Leary
All new members who wish 10 join will
be received, and a full attendance not on
ly OF the members, but Of all others inter
ested, is desired.

able To gather full particulars but 1t
seems that the shooting, which occurred
at different time, was the result of gener-
al carelessness. AS good luck would have
it, in each case the pellets were small and
none of the wounds are serious.
The Atlanta Excursionists.
THE ENQUIRER has been unable to
secure a complete list of the people who
went from this section to Atlanta last
Monday night. An arrangement was
made with competent reporter, as stated ;
but for some reason, it seems, that he has
been unable to get in his report. MIR.
John Gordon, who left with the party on
Monday night, returned Thursday morn
ing. He reported that the York county
people filled two trains at Chester; but it
was impossible for him to remember any
thing like all the names of those who
were on board Of either train. Two days
were enough for Mr.. Gorden. He says,
however, that everybody seemed to be hav-
ing tirst-class time.
Injured by Cow.
Mrs. A. Cody, of Yorkville, was knock
ed down an painfully injured by COW
last Wednesday morning. Ordinarily, the
COW in question is quite docile animal ;
but Of late it has acquired the habit of
reminding people of its wants by a gentle
push Of the horns. Mrs. Cody had been
after some eggs and was on her way back
to the house across the cow lot. The cow
had either not been fed or wanted some

known in its usual manner. Mrs. Cody
was knocked down, and was unable to
get up without assistance. She has since
been confied to her bed but it is not
thought that she is seriously injured.
Death of VIM. G. Shillinglaw.
Mr.. VIM. G. Shillinglaw, son of the late
G.. R. Shillinglaw, died at the home of Mr..
w. J. Shillinglaw, near Sharon, last Sun
day morning of complication Of diseases,
including erysipelas and typhoid fever,
after an illness Of about four weeks. Mr..
Shillinglaw was brickmason by trade
and he was a good one. He has always
had the reputation of being straightfor-
ward in his dealings and hard worker.
For sometime past he has been employed
on the work at Lockhart Shoals as fore
man of squad of bricklayers, and it was
there that he contracted the fever that
contributed to his death. He was in the
34th year of his age and unmarried. His
remains were inferred in Woodlawn cem-
etery on Monday.
Shooting Scrape at Lenoir.
News of shooting scrape that occurred
in Lenoir, N. c., on last Wednesday,
reached here yesterday. The difficulty
was between Mr.. Sam Newland and a
Mr.. Steelman. Newland went into Steel
mans place of business, and said: ~
understand that you have threatened to
kill me-" Steelman denied that he had
made such threat, and Newland COM
menced firing. The first shot missed /;
but the second struck Steelman in the
right breast and lodged in the sixth rib.
Steelman was still alive yesterday but it
was not thought that he could recover.
Newland has disappeared and the sheriff
is telegraphing for him everywhere.

The Springfield, Mass, Republican, is
authority for the statement that eX-Con-
gresham Lynch, of Mississippi, is work
ing on a plan to bring the Mississippi
suffrage plan before congressional in
vestigating committee, and, if possible,
also before the United States supreme
court. His plan is to resurrect the Re-
publican party in Mississippi sufficiently
to put full ticket of congressional candi-

every seat on the ground that the colored
Republicans were prevented from voting.

Atlanta exposition have received SOU

this fact should remind our women
that they had better keep their eyes
skinned and not lose their wits. Last
Friday, while Mrs. Georgia Hammond,
of Columbus, Ga, who had attended
the exposition, was sitting in the wait
ing room of the depot in Atlanta,
woman clad in black and closely veil
ed, entered, carrying a baby in her
arms. She asked Mrs. Hammond to
hold the little one for a few minutes,
and Mrs. Hammond readily consented
to do 50. The woman in black then
disappeared, and has not been seen or
heard from since. Mrs. Hammond
took the baby, little girl about a
year-and-a-half old, home with her
and said she intended to take care of
it. She named the child atlanta"

The most remarkable feature OF the
new constitution is to be found in what it
does not, rather than what it does, contain.
In most republican constitutions there is
a section that reads about as follows
"All powers not herein delegated remain
with the people" There is such section
in our old constitution, and it was pro-
posed in the new one; but it failed to
pass. The matter looks unimportant; /;
but it's Importance is not to be estimated
at glance, for it is full of significance.
The new constitution is apparently very
comprehensive. 1t lays down a great
many things that the Legislature can do, a
great many things that it cannot do, and
on great many things it is silent. The
subjects upon which it is silent, of course,
include Il far wider range than the sub
jects with which it deals, and i'll many
respects these are most important. The
failure to take care of these with the
blanket provision mentioned above, leaves
them entirely with the legislature. This
may be wise, and again it is possible that
it may some day have to be corrected
by constitutional amendment.

made it so hot for Perdue that he de-
cided to leave the country. He went
to Florida, and became life insurance
agent. He was arrested not long ago
and last week a squad ofabout 25 men
demanded admission to the Jail on the
grounds that they had a prisoner to
commit. They got hold of Perdue.
People in the neighborhood heard two
or three despairing cries of "murder,' y
and afterward the body of the ex school
teacher was found lying out in the
woods. The throat was cut and there
were number of bullet holes through
the head and breast. But little effort
has been made to apprehend the lynch
ers. They are thought to be among
the most influential men of the commu'
nity.

He argued that the matter had been
adopted as a matter of sentiment and
without argument. Senator Tillman
sought to have the provision retained.
1t was stricken out, however, and the
State is left absolutely without any
provision for divorce, under any cir
cumstances.
An ordinance requiring the legisla-
ture to pay managers of election for
the constitutional convention was
adopted.
At 8 p. m. the convention took a re-
cess until next Tuesday, when it will

Contraband Liquor.

three barrels of cohtraband liquor were

Townes for the United States govern
ment. This liquor has been captured

and none of it bore the license seal of
the United States.
Right Smart Pig This.
Piedmont Headlight: A friend in our
office last week says that be was recent
ly at Fountain Inn, in Greenville
county, where he saw Jersey Red
hog, belonging to Mr.. Ben Hanlon, and
which was about two-and-a-half years
old and that it weighed 900 pounds.
Mr.. Hanlon will kill it in December,
when he says it will weigh 1000
pounds. This will show that we now
live in the land of hog as well as
hominy.
Gone to the Republicans.
DR.. Samps Pope has announced
his secession from the Democratic party
and his union with the Republicans.
He says that the Democratic party in
this State has become so currupt that
he can no longer affiliate with it, and
as he has been Protectionist ever
since 1884, there is nothing for him to
do but join the Republicans. He says
that now that the Negro vote has been
eliminated, or rather unclaimed, there
is plenty of latitude for every citizen to
select whatever party:he wants, and be
thinks it probable that large number
of Conservatives will become Republi-
cans.

Quite number Of individuals from
different sections have suggested that THE
ENQUIRER ought to say something COM
mandatory of the able and efficient SER
vice of Delegate J. S. Brice in the conven-
ton. 1t strikes us, however, that every
body understands the situation about as
well as THE ENQUIRER. When Mr..
Brice was on the stump he told where
he stood, without attempt at equivocation
or evasion, and since he has been in
Columbia he has shown that he has had
not only the intention, but also the ability
to carry out his promises. That is about
all there is of it, and the facts have been
so clearly and emphatically impressed on
the people, that we do not believe it is
possible that they can be lost sight of now
or forgotten hereafter.

- The third term talk won't down.
Many leading papers North continue to
harp it in every issue. The reason seems
to be quite clear. The Democratic party
is in bad odor just now, and is very hard
up for candidate who would stand the
slightest chance of election. Though
classed with the Democrats, Cleveland is
equally popular with leading Republicans
and it is for this reason that many consider
him an available candidate, notwith-
standing the third term issue. The cal
culation is all right except in one particu-
lar. 1t should be remembered that just
in proportion to his increase in popularity
with the Republicans, Mr.. Cleveland has
lost grounds with the Democrats, and it is
likely that his opponent, whoever he may
he, would get about as many Democratic
votes, as he would get Republicans votes.
The situation is somewhat desperate, and
the third termites, along with others, may
as well give it up. The chances are nine
out of ten that the next president is going
to be Republican.

Everything goes to indicate that the
