and after dark withdraw his troops to
Rossvflle Gap; and you report to me
at Chattanooga as to the condition of
affairs with Thomas
When they parted the sound of heavy
firing in the direction of Thomas had
almost ceased, indicating that he held
his position, and the battle was sub
startially over for the day. With
Garfield and Captain Cav and two of
the orderlies, they made a wide detour
to avoid the COnfederateS, and by the
route they took it was eight miles to
Thomas, and at any turn they might
come upon the enemy. Soon, striking
into a dark. painless wood tangled
underground of intertWiSted bush and
briar-they skirted for two miles the
low bottom lands of the Chattanooga
valley. Thence their route was clear
to ROssville. At Rossville they took
by the sound of the firing, and moving
cautiously, for they were then nearing
the battlefield. The road there was
scarcely more than a lane, thanked on
one side by a thick wood and on the
other by an open cotton field.
Riding Dead Into an Ambuscade.
No troops were in sight and on they
galloped at a rapid pace. But when
they had left Rossville a thousand
yards behind, suddenly from along the
wooded side of the road a. Volley of 4
Thousand minnie balls fell among them
thick as hail, wounding one horse, kill
ing another, and stretching the two
orderlies on the ground, Hfeless. They
had ridden into an ambuscade of a
large body of Longstreet's skirmishers
and sharp-shooters, who, having en-
tered the fatal gap in the right center,
had pressed that far on the flank of
Thomas, with the evident design of
falling upon him in overpowering num-
bers. Therefore, it was all important
that Thomas should be warned Of the
impending danger.

and putting spurs to his side he leaped

him they were loading for another vol

by California farmer, and it may be a
help to some to think it over. He says:

We throw away our ashes and grease and
buy SOAP. We let our manure go to waste

vegetables aud brooms. We catch 5-cent
fish with four-dollar rod. We build

READ THE PROSPECTUS.

The ENQUIRER's prospectus for 1915 IS
published on the fourth page OF this issue,
and we desire to call it to the especial at
tention of all our readers.
About The ENQUIRER as newspaper,
it is probably unnecessary to say anything
further than has already been said. It's
nature and character are TOO wellknown
in this county to require further explana-
ton but very little thought on the part OF
most readers is likely to convince them
that in our club offers there is good deal
that is worth careful consideration.
Among the premiums mentioned are
useful and valuable articles, any OF which
will prove acceptable to almost anybody,
and when it is considered that the sue
cessful clubmakers will get these things
at much smaller expense OF labor or
money than would he possible i'll any
other way, it appears that an earnest and
energetic trial for them is we'll worth
while
Now is the time to begin work. Let
each clubmaker start out with the lnten-
ton of getting choice of premiums; but
under no circumstances let him get dis
cOuraged. One energetic worker has just
as good chance as another. Although
all cannot get the first premium, all can
get something, and that something will
handsomely repay them for whatever
they do.

- The Royal School of Naval Archi-
lecture at Greenwich, England, has
announced that it will no longer re-
ceive constructors from the United
States navy. The announcement
comes somewhat in the nature of q
surprise. For the last dozen years,
the United States government has
been sending graduates from Annapolis
to Greenwich to take post graduate
courses, and afterward giving that
appointments as assistant constructors
in the navy. IL is thought that the
action of the Greenwich establishment
was taken with view to preventing
the United States government from
getting the plans of any more Brit
ish war ships. The United States will
not be seriously inconvenienced, how
ever. 1t is altogether likely that she
has scores and scores of naval con-
structors who can give valuable points
to the instructors at Greenwich.

Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer.
TOWNSVILLE, October 25.-There has
been no rain here to amount to anything
since the 9th Of August, consequently
turnips are complete failure and there
have been no wheat or oats sown.
Cotton is nearly all picked and ginned.
The Weld in bales is about three-tourths
of last year, though the average weight
of the bales is about 80 pounds less. This
is accounted for in the dry and spongy
condition of the cotton, making it more
difficult to get a heavy bale i'll the press.

prevails all over the cotton States, and this
shortage in weight will make consider
able shortage in the total supply, as other
wise estimated. On a crop of 100000
bales, the shortage will be something like
100, 900 bales. The bears would do we'll to
consider this fact.

DEATH OF MIR. JOHN NICHOLS.

Mr.. John Nichols, a wellknown citizen
of the Fodder section of York county,
died in the asylum at Columbia last Mon
day afternoon, of dysentery, aged about
Is years.
Mr.. Nichols was, in many respects, re-
markable man. He was born i'll Catawba
township. His parents were too poor 10
give him an education and at l9 years OF age
he began to shift for himself. Hiring out
as an overseer for Sl25 year, he worked
steadily for several years and saved what
he made until he was able to buy small
plantation. He labOred with such indus
try and perseverance that he soon began
to make money, and with the help OF an
intelligent and energetic wife, accumu-
lated large property, as the result of fru-
gality and thrift.
81 never had any education" he said to
the writer, few years ago. "When l was
growing up, my father was unable to DO
anything for me, and until after l became
man, did not know that l would need
to be able to read and write. anyway.
After began overseeing, 1 tried to get
little education in my spare time; but l
never did anything further than learn my
letters. With all the work had to DO, 1t
was too late then"
About eight years ago, Mr.. Nichols lost
an arm as the result of cotton gin accl-
dent. He had always been accustomed
to hard manual labor; and, especially on
this account, could not reconcile himself

: The cotton growers Of the South Nigh

- The cotton growers Of the South might
learn valuable lesson from the coffee
growers of Brazil. Some years back, it
will be remembered the best Rio coffee re-
tailed at II cents pound. Then it slowly
and steadily rose to 371 cents, and not
many times since has it been below 70
cents. Various reasons have been assigned
for this remarkable state of affairs, and
the real reason is now an open secret.
The Brazilian planters are now thorough
" organized, and the foundation principle
of their orga ization is to keep the supply
of coffee closely limited to the demand.
They keep well informed as to how much
coffee will be required at good price, and
that is all that they will raise. Ifthey find
that crop is going to be large enough to
threaten cheap coffee, they will even resort
to the heroic remedy of destroying surplus
trees, and 50 divide the loss as to let it fall
eu ually on the whole organization. AS the
result, within certain limits, they receive
more money for small crop than large
one. 4 similar organization among the
cotton growers Of the South would mean
hi gh priced cotton from hencetorward.

home in Charleston last Sunday morning
at 8 o'clock, aged 40 years. Shortly after
he finished his work Saturday night, he
was attacked by pain in his head. The
pain grew worse and worse until finally, it
developed into appoplexy and he became
unconscious. Death followed in a few
hours. Mr.. Moroso was one Of the most
versatile and entertaining writer's in the
State, thorough going newspaper man
in every particular, and in his death South
Carolina journalism sustains loss that is
likely to be felt for some time to come.

TO WORK THE CONVICTs.

MrJ, B. Mendenhall, late of the peni-
tentiary guard, has accepted the position
Of superintendent of the convict gang, re-
Gently offered to him by the special COM
mittee of the county board charged with
the matter, and is now in Iorkville ready
to take charge.
All along, the convicts have been having
a very soft snap of it. The town has been
more than humane to them. 1t has even
allowed them to take things so easy that
"soft job as chaingang Negro" has be-
come byword but Mr.. Mendenhall says
that is all going to be changed pretty
shortly. He does not propose to be inhu-
man, of course but the convicts will have
to work. They have got to work enough
to feel like they are being punished, and
at the same time they have got to pay their
board, all the expense of their keeping,
and some profit to the county beside. 1T
has not been any trouble to guard them
heretofore" says Mr.. Mendenhall; "but
they will need guards after get charge OF
them. 1t will take about one guard to
every ten or twelve men, and even then
we will have to keep our eyes open 10
keep them with u.s."
Mr.. Mendenhall went to the penitentia-
ry guard as private, and on account OF
his capacity and efficiency, was soon pro-
noted to the position ofsergeant. He has
the reputation of being able to get as much
good honest work out of a gang Of con-
victs as any man who has been connected
with the penitentiary for several years,
and the board Of county commissioners
has good reason to expect that if anybody
can make q success of the chaingang sys-
tenn on the roads, he is the man.

There was not single new line added
to the constitution last week. The article
on counties and county government was
debated at length, given second reading
and "clinched'' in shape in which it ap-
pears elsewhere. But notwithstanding
this, there is no guarantee that this is the
article as it will finally be engrossed. The
convention seems to have rules peculiar to
itself, and it is altogether possible that the
article may yet be materially changed.
