THE NETWORK TIMES,

THE TIMES is a newspaper for intelligent men and women who want to read all the news of the world every day. The paper has distin- gushing merits of its own. It is neither sen- sational nor dull. It is not sour tempered. It is not frivolous or visionary. It sees plenty of good in the world and tells about it. It tells of the bad when it must but not unwholesomely It prints with fullness the record of human en- deavor in many fields outside of business, poli- tics, and war-in literature, religion, science, art, sports, and household matters. No paper in the country prints so many book revlews and so much book news. No pape: has so complete financial page-a daily manual for investors and officers of financial institutions. Its mar ket reports-wool. cotton, breadstuffs, farm produce, &c.-are the best in the country.
 The Democracy of The Times is of the old fashioned sort-as old as Thomas Jefferson; majority rule; no bossism, no machine tyranny, the divorce of politics from private money making, sound currency, industrial enamel patton, and every y-day honesty. Topromote the advance of the Democratic party along these lines it labOrs with heart and conscience and oil ifcr1 1iohf

Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1896-10-21

The News and Courier expresses an
opinion that the dispensary law, of which
John Gary Evans is the reputed father,
is the cause of the governors failure to
get the nomination to the United States
senate. We do not mean to bring the
governors alleged shortcomings to the
fore again on account of this statement ;
but let us not have no such bosh as this.
Everybody in this state, of any intelli-
gence, knows, in the first place, that it was
not Governor Evans but Senator Tillman
who was the father of the dispensary law.
But that is not the question. Today, this
same law is favorably entrenched behind
as strong sentiment as any other law on
the statute books. At first, it is true, it
was crude, and a great many outrages
have been perpetrated on its authority, OF
rather under its cloak; but both the law
and it's enforcement have been growing
more and more perfect each year until at
this time things are getting in very sat-
isfactory shape. Within three or four
years more the man who even attempts
to advocate the question of going back to
the old saloon system, will be looked
upon as some kind of a fool. So let us
not have any claims that this law has been
rea citing against anybody at this late
day, for such claims are all buncombe.

DESTROYED THEIR ALL.

A little frame cottage situated on the
side of the o. r. & G. railroad near the
depot, and occupied by Mr.. B. s. Sum-
NIT and family, was destroyed by fire last
Saturday night.
The alarm was sounded at about 10
o'clock, and the fire department and peo-
pie responded as quickly as possible.
The flames were already beyond control,
however, and besides the building was at
least 100 yards or more out of reach of
all tt hose from the department stretch
ed from the nearest hydrant.
Th fire is supposed to have originated
from a stove fue, and although the house
was occupied by Mr.. Summit and family,
it was first discovered by outsiders.
There had been a great deal of sickness
in the house recently. 1t seems that this
was the first opportunity that there had
been for good nights rest for more than
a week, and the members of the family
were not awakened until Ike Wright,
colored, and others, broke down the doors.
All escaped without injury.
The loss includes all the household
goods except few articles of furniture
and some bedclothes, etc. There was in
one Of the rooms about two bales CT seed
cotton, Of which one bale was saved.

MIR. BRYAN AND THE FLAGS.

Chairman Hanna's cheeky American
flag letter appears in another column in
this issue. 1t seems that Mr.. Bryan en-
dorses the letter in full. In aspeech to an
immense crowd at sgd ney, O., last Mon
day, he spoke about it as follows:
my friends, it is the first time that
know of that have ever agreed with the
chairman of the Republican national COM
mittee, and want to sign my name to
his letter and ask all those who believe in
the ideas set forth there to display the
flag on the 3lst of October, because there
is not a thing in that letter but what we
advocates of free silver endorse. [Cheers. J
Now, note what he says: That he wants
the flag displayed by all those who on
the third of November intend to vote for
the preservation of our national honor
"We advocates of free silver believe in
having a financial policy made by the
American people for the American people.
[Great cheering.] He wants those to dis
play the flag who are for sound money.
We, who believe in that money Of the
constitution, are for sounder money
than those who want to change our cur
rency into pounds, shillings and pence.
[Cheers.] We, who believe in a basis for
their financial transactions sufficiently
broad for those transactions to rest upon,
believe in sounder financial system than
those who advocate gold standard and
a financial system based upon gold alone
when you cannot get the gold to furnish
your foundation fCheers l We mt On1v
believe in sound money, but we tell you
what we mean by sound money and do
not play the hypocrit by talking about
sound money and then refusing to explain
what the term means. [Cheers.l
II want some flags to float on that day
that do not stand for the fight of a coal
trust to send a representative 20 every
fireside and collect tribute from every
home in this land. want some flags to
float on that day that do not stand for tho
opinions of those who say that if the ma
jprity of the people win in this campaign
they do not know whether they will sub
nit to the decision or not"

ENGLISH WALNUTS.

Miss Mary Garvin of Yorkville, has an
English walnut tree, that was raised from
a seed, and which bears as large and fine
ly favored nuts as any that are to be
bought on the market.
The original seed, the reporter is in
formed, was planted in 1878. The plant
came up nicely and received careful at
tention; but was long time before it
bore any fruit. Indeed, the first nuts did
not appear until 1893, when the crop
amounted to about one gallon. Last year
there were three bushels; but this year
there has been fall-off and there are
only about one-and-a-half bushels. The
tree continues to do we'll, however. 1t is
getting larger and larger and from now
on constantly increasing crops are ex-
pected.
Miss Garvin has sent The ENQUIRER q
quart of the walnuts. They are of sur
prising perfection, and seem to demon
strate that the tree from which they came
is in its natural home in this climate.

CHARLEsToN's GALA WEEK.

The people of Charleston are advertis-
ing their annual fall festival to be held
during the week commencing October
26, and are inviting the people of the
state to attend.
Among the attractions offered are
PAINS "Storming Of Moro CASTLE" big
hose contest, horse racing, fantastic car
nival, floral parade, free concerts daily,
an exhibition by the United. States Life
Saving station, and other entertainments.
But the advertised attractions are not the
half. Everybody in this section either
knows or ought to know, that Charleston
is one of the prettiest and most interest
ing cities in the south. The people down
there always treat visitors as especially
invited guests, and those who desire and
can afford to take a week off" cannot
do better than spend it among the
Charlestonians.
For the occasion of the fall festival this
year, all the railroads are selling tickets
at one cent mile, and the Charlestoni-
ans are talking as if they intend to try to
surpass themselves in the entertainment
of visitors.

nlss !; but nothing new. In fact, II any
feats were presented that all circus-goers
had. not seen before, they escaped the
notice of the reporter. In order to kill
time, it is supposed, and make the per-
formance last full hour, several Of the
least interesting feats were repeated over
and over again, and the whole show was
so dull and lifeless as to make even the
small boys thoroughly tired.
The show was accompanied by per-
feet horde of sharpers. The wheel OF
fortune and the thimble trick men, etc.,
were on hand and fleeced the unsuspect.
ing by the score. It Is claimed also that
the sharp tricks were not confined to the
independent scoundrels on the outside.
The reporter has heard 1t charged that
some of the doorkeepers were careful moi
to give back the proper change; but at.
tempted to swindle almost every mar
who gave them large bills.
After the show left here, there was pu
in circulation story to the effect that Il
was not John Robinson's show at all
The Franklin Brothers, so the story hai
it, had bought the name from young Johr
Robinson for $l0,0O0a year. Whether thii
story is true, we have no positive infor
nation but we are not prepared to dis
believe it. Heretofore the name Of Ole
John Robinson has been worth grea
deal in the south. Ten thousand dollar,
a year for it would have probably been ,
low price. But 1t will come cheaper now
If these men who are now reaping such ,
rich harves as the reward of their hum
buggery should take tour through th'
same country next year, they would no
be able to pay their expenses.

Some of the newspapers are printing
story about an alleged new kind of cot
ton that is being cultivated just on the
outskirts of Atlanta, Ga, and this story,
if true, is full of alarm for the future of
the south's great industry. We think
that for the facts in the case, somebody is
drawing upon very lively imagination ;
but here is the way the story goes: A lit
tie over two years ago, an African explor-
er gave a farmer named Jackson some
seeds of cotton plant that he had seen
growing wild in Africa. The explorer
told Farmer Jackson that the plant reach
ed height of 20 feet, and often bore from
four to eight pounds of lint to the stalk.
And this on the poorest of land without
any fertilization whatever. Farmer jack
son planted the half a dozen or more
seeds on fairly good land. The crop

The Republicans have put out story
to the effect that Governor Altgeld and
the state Democratic committee are not
working in harmony in Illinois. By
reason of some peculiar circumstances
that have not been explained, the Repub-
licans claim that Bryan is 80 much weak
er than Altgeld in Illinois, that Altgeld is
afraid to try to carry him. The story is
all buncombe. Altgeld is the idol of the
Illinois people, and all of his friends are
also enthusiastic admirers of Mr.. Bryan.
To make assurance doubly sure, Cover
nor Altgel6 is making from three to six
speeches a day in Illinois, and in each
one of them he is telling the people by
all means they must consider the election
of Bryan the first and most important
consideration of this campaign.
