SAW MILL ACCIDENT.

MIR. Fred Black, who lives with his
mother, Mrs. R. A. Black, two and-a-
half miles west of Yorkville, was serious
ly injured at his saw mill on the planta-
ton of Mr.. T. B. McClain, about two
miles southwest of the courthouse, last
Monday afternoon.
Mr.. Black was standing at the lever
A plank had just been cut and the car
riage was coming backward. The Negro
whose business it was to bear away, lei
the plank fall on the belt. 1t was hurled
with terrific force against the lever, which
struck Mr.. Black in the side, and knock
cd him down. It was sometime before he
regained his breath sufficiently to be in
condition to warrant his being carried
home.
DIR. R. A. Bratton was summoned. He
found that Mr.. Black had been struck
Just over the liver, and that he was badly
bruised. The injuries, however, were
mostly internal, and their full extent
could not be determined for something
like 4s hours. At the present writing the
chances of the unfortunate young mans
recovery appear to be about even.

Wednesday, July %, 1895.

The Catawbas, we suspect, will lose the
appropriation Of eight hundred dollars
they have been receiving each year from
the State; but this, no doubt, Is small
matter compared with the pleasure OF
bringing suit, and is of no consequence
whatever to those who represent them.
The trustees of the graded school have
elected Mr.. J. Porter Hollis. Of Hollis,
Chester county, to position In their
school. Mr.. Hollis is graduate of Wof-
ford college and is very well known to
many of our citizens.
Yorkville may pride herself in setting
good example before sister towns In the
line of securing bountiful supply Of
good, pure water. 1t may be that the ex-
ample of Yorkville has borne fruit, or It
may be that the conditions makea change
absolutely necessary. At any rate, Rock
Hill has the matter under discussion, and
Chester, too, is said to be working in that
direction. May the time soon come when
there will be no lack Of water both pleas
ant and pure. @. 8.

We notice that several southern cotton
exchanges have passed resolutions de-
nouncing the cotton tie trust for its action
in increasing the price Of ties something
like 100 per cent. This position on the
part of the exchanges indicates that they
will not throw any obstacles in the way OF
farmers, and the fight will be of short du-
ration. Heavy wire is much cheaper than
cotton ties it will answer the purpose just
as satisfactorily, and under the circum-
stances, we see no reason why the matter
should not be settled in short order. AS
we see it, the farmers will not only admin.
lister well-deserved chastisement; but
also be the gamers both temporarily and
permanently if they will just abandon the
use of fiat ties altogether.

Although we have explained it more
than dozen times, we find that there are
still great many people in this country
who do not know: the meaning of l6 to l.
It means that grain ofpure gold is equa
in value to 16 grains of pure silver. Ex'
perience of over a hundred years shows
that this is about the natural ratio of pro-
duction, and the demand for the free coin
age of the two metals on this basis is
therefore, just and proper. Some Of the
gold standard papers try to make it ap'
pear that silver is as common as lead al
most, and that the natural ratio between
it and gold is about 30 to l. Official figures
compiled by the director Of the mint,
however, coroborate the advocates Of II
to l.

ROCK HILL HAPPENINGS.

Diphtheria on the Decline-Catawha In
dians to Bring Suit for Fifteen Miles
Square Of Territory-Wster Works.
Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
Rock HILL, July 27.-The anxiety felt
in regard to the appearance of some cases
of diphtheria in our midst has, TO great
extent, abated. For 10 days no new case
has developed save that of Raymond
Smith, son of Captain A. f. Smith of our
city. His condition is better and still
improving. The lasting nature OF the
disease is such that some uneasiness will
be felt for sometime after the last case has
recovered but at present there seems no
real ground for panic.
This section is apt to look on their
neighbors of the Catawba tribe with an
eye to something more than the purchase
of pipes and pottery in the near future.
This nation, it is said, has decided to
bring a suit for the recovery of what is
known as the ."Indian Land,"a a tract Is
miles square, and including both Fort
Mill and Rock Hill. No one cares to be
troubled with suits of this sort, but no
fears are entertained as to the result.

failure and disaster was the most perfect

failure and disaster was the most perfect
life ever lived on this earth, and its re-
suits are with us today. Success, my
dear young friends, is not to be measured
by length of days or by the greatness
and fame of mans achievements. but by
devotion to truth and duty, and by the
faithfulness with which we have tried to
do the work God has given us to do. In
this respect Robert Lees life was great
success, and his example is an inspira-
ton to us all. Let us think of him this
morning as the ancients were accustomed
to think of those who had been struck by
lightning, as of one who has been highly
favored Of God. His end was not unlike
that prophet of the Old Testament who
was caught up to heaven in q chariot OF
fire. Even so let US believe that along
that shining pathway marked out for him
by the lightning's binding stroke, ms
pure spirit has mounted to the gates OF
Paradise, and that light perpetual now
shines upon him

ferior race. We have beer in bondage for
hundreds of years. We have all thought
it was hard but just as the good Lord
kept the children of Israel wandering
about the desert for 40 years, he has had
us in bondage for our own good. We are
coming slowly, but surely, and after
awhile we will tell the white man to come
in if he wants to, and if he can make
anything off of us he will be welcome to
it."
Speaking Of farming, he says that all that
is necessary is to plant the seeds Of what
ever crop and leave them in the ground.
II rice, the next thing is to cut it.; If pota-
toes, the next thing is to dig them. Cof-
fee bears all the year round, but the main
crop is gathered in January and Fsbru-
ary. Twice a year laborers are sent
among the trees to cut down the grass
and drag it up to the roots, and when the
trees get six or eight feet high, they are
topped. This is about all the work that Is
required.
"Do you have any idea Of coming back
to this country to live?
mo, sir; Liberia is my home. God
made Africa for the Negro and the Negro
for Africa. I am son Of the tropics.
Nowhere else can the Negro thrive as
there. Why don't remember when l
used to 60 out in cold frosty weather to
pick cotton with Mr.. Stewards boys.
MY skin would turn white and roughen
up while theirs would get red and smooth.
They could pick all the faster, and I
could only shake and shiver. But put US
under the tropical sun of Liberia, and
those broiling rays that will rob them OF
every energy will invigorate me with that
same snap and vim that they got in the
old cotton field from the frost. "Now,
good bye" concluded Moore, warmly
extending his hand. "The first snow
have seen since left here was from the
deck of the ship away off on the Teneriffe
mountains. That was as I was coming
away from home. 1t has been 25 years
since have seen any frost and hope
never to see any more"
The principal object of Moore's trip
down in this section was to visit his
father, June Hanna, who still lives In
this county. He was accompanied on
the trip by daughter of his partner,
Solomon Hill, whom he introduced
as the wife Of V. l.. Miller, of Mon.
rovia. She left the Clay Hill section
when five years old. Among the presents
he brought with him was a curiously
wrought powder horn that was sent by
Hill to be piyen to Sheriff r. II. Glenn,
who was highly esteemed by both Hill
and Moore. Upon learning that Sheriff
Glenn had passed away, Moore presented
the horn to his SONS. Before he left on
Saturday, Moore said it was his inten'
ton to begin his return trip on Tuesday

not going to run the risk of losing all

lowing their leaders. If they are re.

Three C's railroad, there came up
proposition to give the, railroad rebate.
He had voted against this rebate, because
he thought it was right to do so. He did
not care to 60 into the issues Of the cam
paign at this time, but would discuss
them fully after the 10th Of August.
Mr.. John A. Shurley was the next
speaker. He spoke of the Importance of
edu cation, and devoted his remarks ex-
clusively to that subject. He called espe-
cial attention to the fact that since the
adoption of the new constitution, in GER
tain respects, conditions have changed.
It used to be that If a man was white he
had guarantee Of the right Of suffrage.
Now it is different. After two years the
man who is unregistered and unable TO
read and write will no longer be citizen.
He had labored hard to increase the eff
cheney of the schools, and it was his am
bition to make of them all high schools,
capable Of fitting their pupils for college.
Mr.. Shurley was followed by Mr..
James Cansler, who announced that he
was also candidate for the Office Of sup
l.
utes before he could have entertained the
audience with fun, with the greatest
pleasure but now he was not in the right
kind of mood. His feelings. had been
hurt. Someone had remarked that "his
leg was getting worse" implying that he
was trying to get up sympathy. What
YER else might be said of him, he was
not hypocrite. He did not want any
body to vote for him on account Of his
leg. If he did not measure up to the
others in intelligence and in efficiency, he
did not ask consideration on account of
anything else. He wanted to be put on
the same platform with Mr.. Nicely. Let
his merit be considered first, and the fact
that he is cripple, afterward. When be
had charge of the schools before, he en-
forced the laws as he found them, and II
elected again, that is what could be ex-
pected of him in the future. After awhile
Mr.. Cansler began to make sport at the
expense of Elder and Love. "If you had
had me in an Office for six years." he said,
like Mr.. Elder, and could not give you
better account Of myself than he has, !
would never ask you for anything else.
But seriously, Elder and Love are both
good fellows; let's elect them both, and
let one serve half the time and the other
the other halt. But better still, let them
both 60 and occupy the same chair. It
looks like both Of them ought to be suffi-
cient to make one good senator" Mr..
Cansler continued his remarks in this
strain at some length, and provoked the
crowd to the only demonstrations that
were heard during the day.
Mr.. McMackin was called upon as the
next speaker; but said that he did not
care to say anything. There were several
other candidates present. None of them
wanted to speak, and shortly afterward
the picnickers dispersed to their homes.

Keen Demand for High

Selling Orders From Foreigners Did
Not Bear the Market.

The New York stock market opened
firm and active. Sugar and Chicago Gas
absorbed the bulk OF trading, the former
advancing 5-s to 115 3-S, while the latter
lost / 1-S TO 90 3.S.
The market displayed irregularity after
the initial opening, in which the grang-
ers eased off.slighlly. decided strong
tone, however, was soon apparent ana
on heavy purchases the list tended up
ward at the demand very keen fer the
high priced indusiriais. Sugar reached
1l5 rs and Chicago Gas regained prac-
tically all or the earliest decline.
The grangers and Southwesterns are in
active demand at improved figures, and
although the foreigners are quoted as sell
lers OF the international favorites the
orderings are well absorbed. An in
creased inquiry from the shorts induced
the more satisfactory aspect of the gen.
eral list. The commission houses are
fairly active and report good demand for
