RURNED TO DEATH.

Little Marie, the 6-year old daughter OF
Captain and Mrs. Withers Adickes, of
Yorkville, died at daylight Monday, from
the effects of terrible burns received on
last Saturday.
Just how the accident happened is not
known. The first intimations of it was
the child's distressing cries. She had been
in the kitchen with some children of the
colored cook, who were about her own
age. AS she came out of the kitchen, her
clothes were all atiame. jeff Williams,
colored, who happened to be passing by
the yard, was attracted by her screams,
and fastened to the rescue. DR.. j. B.
DelveauX came up a moment or two later.
They tore off the child's burning clothes
as quickly as possible, after which JEFF
Williams wrapped her in his coat and car
ried her to the residence Of DR.. J. F.
Lindsay, just across the street; but it was
too late for medical skill to avail. The
little sufferer had been so horribly burned
about the whole body, except her feet,
that nothing could be done. The excru-
ciating pain of the burn was relieved by
injections of morphine; but there was no
reaction from the first shock. Little Marie
was child of ofstriking beauty, the pride of
her parents and a great favorite with many
older people, who delighted in her pretty
manners and innocent prattle. The shock
ing circumstances surrounding her death
produced a profound impression on the
entire town. The funeral took place on
Tuesday, the services being conducted by
Rev. w. G. Neville.

velops the following facts: The clothing
of most of the convicts is rather light, and
generally inadequate; but it is through no
fault of the officials in charge. Superin-
tendent Mendenhall had ordered the nec-
essary "stripes" for the convicts before he
resigned his position, and Superintendent
Gordon informed the reporter on Monday,
that he had received bill of the goods and
was expecting their arrival every day
The stockade, says Mr.. Gordon, is COM
Portable, and On cold days he allows the
convicts to have good fire at which they
can warm themselves whenever it is nec-
essary. Neither Superintendent Gordon
nor the other officials charged with re-
sponsibilty in the matter, are neglecting
any measure for the comfort of the con-
victs that is demanded either by humani-
ty or duty.

Notes.
Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
Rock HILL, December 9.-This record
breaking spell of fair weather has at last
been broken, and all indications point to
a wet week.
Conference has adjourned, and the ma
jority of the preachers have remained
over until tomorrow, owing to the inclem-
ency of the weather.
The pulpits of the different churches
were occupied by Methodist ministers on
Sunday morning, Rev. DR.. Bays occupy
ing the First Presbyterian; Rev. j. +.
Carlse the Baptist; Rev. r. II. Murray
in the Armory, used by the Associate Re-
formed; Rev. ]. D. Crout mot kraut)
preached to the colored people last night
in the colored Methodist church.
Rev. AS. Leslie, ofthe North Rock Hill
circuit, is confined to his bed with mea-
sles. He has been sent to Belmont cir
cult, Spartanburg district, for the next
wear, and Rev. j. B. Harris takes his
place while Rev. Mr.. Brown will remain
as station preacher at Rock Hill.
Rev. T. j. Gatlis, colporteur for the
North Carolina conference, has been in
Rock Hill during conference, with an
elaborate asso rtment of religious works,
which he displayed in the furniture store
of Mr.. c. p. Ausbaud. We never thought
a minister made use of many extra works
outside of the Bible; but the fact that he
sold this morning alone $3.50 worth to min
listers alone, displaces this idea.
Landis Johnson, a colored woman who
cut and seriously wounded another Ne
gro here some weeks ago, was arrested in
Chester yesterday by Chief of Police
Cnlp and brought back here for trial. She
is also wanted in Charlotte for larceny.
Mr.. S. Z. Owens and Miss Maud Hall

tives here last week. JURDY.

this we feel confident we are but voiclng
the sense Of our country and the earnest
feelings of the better people OF all the
Southern States.
Resolved, That we sympathiZe also with
the management Of this exposition, that
under the cloak of temporary authority
two such fanatics should have been able
to intrude their utterances upon the other
wise healthy and satisfactory proceedings
that have characterized this enterprise.
But while dismissing the utterances of
these men as unworthy of further notice
from our association or the country, we do
not forget that in the general economy OF
nature mankind must have his troubles
and communities their affections. 1t is
not many years since California was great
ly annoyed by brace of bandits known
as Evans and Sontag, and the exhibition

METHODIST MINISTER'S.

There is much disappointment in York
vile at the fact that DR.. Weber is not to
be pastor of Trinity church any longer.
The doctor has been in Yorkville for three
years now, performed splendid service in
his pulpit and in his charge generally, and
has made host offriends throughout this
whole section. He will not preach here
again. He has just received all urgent
call to Charleston, and will have to leave
on Friday morning. From there he will
go to his new charge at Lancaster. He
and his estimable wife will be followed by
the best wishes of host of friends.
Rev. A. n. Brunson, DR.. Weber's sue
cessor, is graduate of the citadel acade-
my, and has been preaching four years.
He was located at Fountain Inn, Green
Vile district, last year, and was ordained
as a full tiedged ministerial the session OF
conference just closed. He is a young
man but has wife.
Rev. w. A. Pitts is to come back to
Yorkville circuit, and his congregations
will be pleased at the news. He is well
liked.
Johnson, goes OH the superanuated list.
He could have been there long ago if he
had only given his consent; but he was un-
willing. Rather than retire from the SER
vice on pension to which no man has
ever had better right, he has several times
chosen to serve his Master and his church
without pay. But this is characteristic
of the man. He has always been work
er, and has always lived up to the highest
sense Of duty. Although he had been
several years minister at the time. when
the war broke out, he volunteered his SER
vices to the Confederacy, and was shortly
afterward made captain of a company. 1t
was suggested that he serve as chaplain.
81 did not come here to PREACH" was his
reply; 81 came to fight" and a wonder
ful fighter he was. When the enemy was in
sight he was Il soldier Of the COntederacy,
and when his men were ut leisure, or sick
or dying, he was a Soldier Of the Cross.
One way or the other he was always on
duty, and when the war closed he was in
command Of a regiment as colonel, having
been promoted from captain for skill
and bravery in the field. After the war
he went to preaching again, and he has
been actively at work ever since. He has
had considerable means in his time; but
in the prosecution of missionary and 9TH
er church work, he has given most of
what he had away. Mr.. johnson is now
"A years of age, and there are few men in
this country who can show up such no
BILE record. He is entitled to rest, and
may that rest be blessed.

THE ENQUIRER is unable to see any
reason or justice in the denunciation OF
Tillman and Evans by the Exhibitors
Association of Atlanta. Possibly Messrs,
Tillman and Evans were indiscreet and
violent in their language at the exposition
but it must be admitted that it was char
acteristic, and the management of the
exposition got only what they had reason
to expect when it extended to them an
invitation to speak. But, however violent
and indiscreet may have been the speech
es, the condemnatory resolutions are even
more so, and in whatever particular Gen.
sure is heaped upon Tillman and Evans
it is but just that it should be heaped with
even greater measure upon the signers Of
those resolutions. THE ENQUIRER does
not wish to be understood as making
apologies for anybody; but as we &c
along, will suggest that justice should
always take precedence oyer harshness.

STATE POLITICAL GOSSIP.
Who May Succeed Evans for Governor
Many Mentions for Congress.
Columhfo RepiSter

Who May Succeed Evans for Governor
Many Mentions for Congress.
Columbia Register.
In the first place the general suppo-
sitiOn is that Governor Evans is going
TO be candidate for Senator lrby's
seat in 1897. Acting Oh that suppo-
silion several other gentlemen are be-
ing talked of for the governorsbip-
though it is not taken in consideration
that Governor Evans will probably he
candidate hiuself-as he certainly can
have second term if he wants it.
Anyway, it is said that Senator r. B.
Watson, of E'lgeficld, wouldn't dodge
if the gubernatoriaI lightning headed
his way. He is generally looked upon
as candidate for the place.
Mr.. Patterson, Of Barnwell, has a
number of friends who talk about run
ming him for governor, and one of the
rumors recently circulated is 10 the
effect that Belton Watson, of Ander-
son, will be candidate.
Again, it is asserted that General
Hemphll might make the gubernato-
rial race on wUman's suffrage plat
form.
Lieutenant Governor Zimmerman, it
is reported, will be a candidate for
State treasurer; while Colonel John T.
Sloan, of Richland is, spoken of as a
good man for the lieutenant governor
ship.
Among members of the convention
who are mentioned in connection with
the additional supreme court justice
ship, are Speaker Jones, Colonel Robert
Aldrich, d. S. Henderson, of Aiken,
and Senator Mower, of Newberry. 1t
is said that Judge Earle will be CAN
didate for the same place, and should
he be elected, it is understood that Mr..
Havnsworth, Of Greenville, wouldn't
mind stepping into the vacant place.
Solicitor Bcllinger is being urged
for a judgeship by his friends, and he
will be candidate when a vacancy
offers or another election is held. Mr..
Breazeale is also often spoken of for a
place on the bench.
In case Speaker Jones goes to the
supreme bench, it is said that Frank
B. Gary, of Abbeville, who is now
chairman of the ways and means COM
mittee of the house, will be promoted
10 the speakerShip.
Mr.. Prince, of Anderson, will run
for solicitor against Solicitor Ansel, it
is said by the knowing ones.
Some Of the friends of ID. H. Behre,
of Colleton, speak of him in connection
with the office Of superintendent of
education.
As to the men who are going to run
for congress, if rumor he true, and the
outlook is propitiUus, their names are
extremely numerous, and all the re-
turns are not in yet.
1t is said that w. d. Evans, H. c.
Burn, Jeremiah Smith and J. E.
Ellerbe have their optics cast at Con-
gresham McLaurin's place Won Kol-
nitz is mentioned in connection with
the First district, Mr.. McCalla and
George Johnslone wouldn't mind TAX
ing Congressman Lalimer's job, report
says. Colonel Floyd and w. B. Wilson
are aftea Congressman Straits scalp so
gossip has it. Mr.. Patton, of Richland,
is talken about from this district.
Probably others would like to 60 TO
congress from these districts, and the
others but The Register is only giving
the gossip going around among men,
bcrs Of the convention.
