COUNTY DIVISION SETTLED.

York county will not he divided. At
least not during the present generation.
So decided the constitutional convention
last Wednesday and the matter is now
definitely settled.
The question at issue, in addition to
other things, has involved to a greater or
less extent the personal interests of all
concerned, and therefore the contention
has not been without some little bitter
ness on both sides; but at the same time
we are unable to see that there has been
said or done anything that need leave
a lasting sting.
Those individuals Of Rock Hill, Fort
Mill and the country surrounding, had
perfect right to fight for division OF the
county if they desired it, and individuals
in Yorkville and the section generally
from which the proposed new county was
to he taken, had the same right to fight on
the other side. This conceded and those
who worked hardest are prepared to ac-
cept the result as it stands.
So far as The ENQUIRER is concerned,
it is confident that the question has been
settled to the best interest of all our peo-
pie. Old York Is without exception the
greatest and best county in the State.
Each and every section that goes to make
her up contributes its share to her great
ness and glory, and she can i'll afford to lose
any part of her territory or any part OF her
people. This division matter settled, the
only thing that can now disturb her tram
guilty, or check her prosperity sectional
feeling, political or otherwise; but of this
we have no apprehension. The people
who have made York county what she is
are too broad minded and liberal to think
of fostering such insiduous poison. They
will continue to build rather than tear
down, and under all the circumstances,
we are satisfied that it is with safety that
we can say that the York county ofthe past
is only a shadow of the prosperous and
progressive York county of The future.

The failure of the convention to make
constitutional provision for the main
tainance at least of the Winthrop Normal
and Industrial college will be serious
disappointment, not only to the people OF
Rock Hill and York county, but the
friends of the college all over the State.
In the case of Clemson, probably, it does
not matter so much, as that institution is
very we'll provided for anyway; but with
Winthrop it is different. 1t seems to us
that if there is any college in the State
that ever has had or now has any claims
on constitutional protection, that college
is the one at Rock Hill. We take no
stock whatever in the very popular argu-
ment that 1--WE must do something for the
girls" Anybody who knows anything at
all knows that is all buncombe. We take
a more practical view of the case. When
a young man leaves college, whether
State or private institution, if there is any
thing in him, he starts out for himself.
Of course he is of use to the State and his
fellowmen in proportion to whatever
success he achieves but it is always self
first. There are few industrial avenues
open to women, and such must necessari-
ly continue to be the case. The circum-
stance of women taking the place OF men
in industrial pursuits will always be the
exception, never the rule. The one par
ticular line of labor in which women
confessedly excel is school teaching, and
in spite Of any and everything that could
be done to prevent it, so long as Winthrop
college exists a large per cent. Of its
graduates will be school teachers, and
they will be good ones, too. In this
capacity these graduates will render as
much service to the State as the graduates
of all the male colleges combined. For
that reason, if for no other, we think the
State should ever give Winthrop its
tenderest care, and for that reason also,
we think that the convention has made
a serious mistake in failing to provide the
institution with constitutional protection.

- John B. Bannon, young iron.
worker of. Youngstown, O., will 60
South in few days to visit and per-
haps wed Miss Agnes Hillman, of Be-
nevolence, Ga, says a dispatch. Some
time ago Mr.. Bannon bought water
melon and when he got it home he
found Miss Hilman's name address in
scrbed on it. He wrote to her and
very soon a delightful correspondence
was in progress and photos were ex-
changed. So far everything is salts
factory to both, and according to
friend of Mr.. Bannou, who thought
the secret too good to keep, there will
be a wedding in Benevolence soon.
The melon was from a plantation
owned by the lady's father, and she,
though disclaiming any knowledge of
the Inscription, has so far not COM
planned of the result.

A recent special from Washington
says that the administration is going to do
all it can to prevent Judge Crisp from re-
ceiving the complimentary votes of the
Democrats for speaker of the house. This
is because of Judge Crisp's recent strong
utterance in favor of silver. A compli-
mentary vote for speaker carries with it
the leadership of the party on the floor,
and the administration does not like the
idea of vesting this distinction in free
silyerite.

the prisoner"
- A terrible wreck was caused on
the New York Central railroad at
Rome, n. Y, last Tuesday morning by
four boys, aged Is and 10 years, who
sought to play the roll of Jesse James.
The fast mail was rushing along at a
rate of 40 miles an hour. Suddenly
there was a fearful crash, two mail
cars shot over the engine, two others
rolled down an embankment, two
sleepers were partially overturned
and third kept the track. Nathan
Hagar, the engineer, and Robert
Elliott, tramp, were killed. Seve-
raj mail clerks were more or less seri-
ously injured but most of the passen-
gers escaped unhurt. Investigation
developed the fact that spikes and fish
plates had been removed from two
rails and this was the cause of the
wreck. In the bushes near by was
found a hat containing the name of j..
Watson Hildreth, young man of
prominent family. The young man
was arrested, and he made a confes-
sion of his guilt duplicating Fred Bris-
tol, Herbert Plato and Theodore Hib-
bard. In the pocket of one of the
boys was found yellow backed novel
purporting to be history of the ad-
ventures of the James boys. The boys
said their object was robbery, and they

RIOT At NEW ORLEANS.
A Mob Of White Lab0rers Shoot Dow
Negroes Who Had Taken Their Places.

A Mob Of White Laborers Shoot Down
Negroes Who Had Taken Their Places.
New ORLEANS. March I3.-The thick
fog early yesterday morning was the
veil behind which desperate white
levee laborers gathered, and which
they penetrated with Winchester rifle
balls, aimed at the colored non-union
workmen at the ships. The work of
rioting and bloodshed began at 2
o'clock and resulted in the killing of
two men and the wholesale discharge
of Hre arms in two different sections
Of the city. After o'clock Monday
evening, though there was intense ex-
citement along the levee and many
drunken workmen were present, there
were no deeds of violence. The police
were massed in the sixth precinct po-
lice station and had remained there
all night. Everything was reported
quiet, and they were hopeful
that everything would remain so, when
there came q message that O dozen men
had been killed in front of jackson
square and that a terrible riot was in
progress. The police were at once
hustled into the patrol wagons, which
were At the station, and were hurried
awaysto the scene of the trouble.
While this was going on the vicinity
of the French market was in excite
ment. A bloody riot had occurred
there Four negroes had been shot
and one Caribbean killed. The trouble
occurred ON the levee, at the landing
of the Harrison line OF steamships,
opposite the jackson square. In the
fog which prevailed mob of 100 armed
men got through the guards of the po-
lice and opened fire on the negroes who
were at work. They fed in terror. some
jumping into the river. Those who
ran across the levee in the direction
Of the square were subjected to a
deadly volley. The shots seemed to
come from doorways, windows, gal
leries aud streets. Look where they
would the negroes saw pistols and
heard the reports as the revolvers were
discharged. Each man then ran In a
different direction. and the poor crea-
lures seemed panic stricken. Those
seen by q reporter say that it is i'm.
possible to state how many were shot.
Calmly reviewing the happenings of
the morning, everything would seem
to indicate the attack to be prear-
ranged affair. 1t is rumored, and there
is every reason to believe the rumor
correct, that secret meeting was held
Monday night and the bloody affair of
yesterday morning carefully mapped

0overnmont Estimate Of the rorn sad
wheat In Farmsrs' HaadA.
WAsHISoToN, March lathe crop
report Of the department Of agriculture
for the month of March consists priu-
cipally Of estimates of the distribution
of corn and wheat. the stocks remain
ing In the hands of farmers, and the
proportion Of merchantable and un-
merchantable. The report Ii based on
country estimates Of the percentage Of
last years product remaining in first
hands. Obvious errors and inconsist-
encies of statement being corrected
and differences harmonized, all grain
in the hands OF farmers, including
amounts remaining over from previous
years, are embraced in the estimates
given.
The corn on hand as estimated sggre-
gates 475. .56&. $50 bushels, or sac per
cent of the last crop. This proportion
has been exceeded but four times In
the last ten years; the quantity, how
ever, Is an unprecedentedly small one.
The consumption of corn for eight
months is an unusually small one,
which fact is explained by the large
amounts of wheat fed to stock. The
aggregate sold from farms to go be-
yond county boundaries is l6a, ,s34, GAO
bushels, or l3.4 per cent. of the crop.
The proportion merchantab BILE Is 999, 400
600 bushels, or SEA per cent The values
returned for merchantable corn aver
age AS cents, and for unmerchant-
able as.s cents. making an aggre-
gate value of s50s.1il, les. which is si6,-
400, 900 less than the December valua-
tion Of the crop, and averages iL9 cents
per bushel.
The estimated amount of wheat in
farmers hands Is 15. ZOO, 900 bushels, or
10. 3 per cent. of the last crop, and a9,-
400. 900 bushels less than last March.
The explanation for this enlarged
measure is to be found In the fact that
large quantities have been fed to hogs
and other stock. Returns from North
and South Dakota, Nebraska and Kan

tion of last years crop, correspondents
