The following resolutions, oHered Dy
Mr.. Robert Gettys, were adopted without
a dissenting vote:
Whereas, on account of the self-appoint-
ed and unauthorized policy Of President
Cleveland, who for the past three years
has been the nominal exponent Of the
principles Of the Democratic party In
America, said principles have been per-
verted to the very opposite of what the
Democratic party of York county has for
years understood to be their meaning.
Therefore, be 1t resolved:
l. That in re-affirming our allegiance to
the Democratic party, which we hereby
do, we find 1t our duty to condemn the
entire financial policy of President Cleve-
lands administration.
@ We consider the issuance Of interest
bearing bonds by the national govern
ment, in time Of peace, as unnecessary,
uncalled for and snbversive Of Democrat-
ic principles.
s. We consider that the best interest OF
the whole country calls for the free and
unlimited coinage of silver and gold at
the ratio of 10 to /, and hereby instruct
our representatives in the State Demo.
cratic convention to vote for only such
delegates to Chicago as may be depended
upon to properly represent us in this
matter. .
The following which was offered by Mr..
w. J. Davis, was adopted without op-
position:
Whereas, our esteemed fellow citizen,
Hon. D. K. Finley's term as State sena-
tor expires this year, and whereas we
heartily endorse the able manner In
which he has discharged the duties of
said office, therefore, be It resolved,
That we endorse his candidacy for con-
gress.
The following, offered by Mr.. j. E.
Beamguard, was also added in q like
manner. .-......3
Whereas, our fellow citizen, ]. G. Will
born's term OF Office as railroad commits
sioner expires this year, and whereas we
are pleased with his course on the board,
therefore, be it Resolved that we request
him to stand again for said Office and en-
dorse him for reelection.
There being nothing further before the
convention, Captain w. 81. Edwards Sc
cured the floor and referred to the matter
of Rock Hills representation again. He
had no resolution to offer on the subject,
but be was of opinion that Rock Hill had
been denied q aportion of the representa-
ton to which she is entitled, and he
hoped that the executive committee, at
its next meeting, would give the matter
proper consideration
On motion, the convention adjourned.

- That was right pretty compliment
that the York County Democracy paid to
Senator Finley last Monday by endorsing
his candidacy for congress. Senator Fin
ley has not made any public announce
ment that he is to be a candidate; but
after this endorsement it seems that the
question should be practically settled.

The report of the debate between Till
man and Hill on the first page of this
issue.is decidedly interesting reading, and
we will remark that the battle may be
called a draw, especially from the stand
point of the respective combatants.

tied to 8. In this, hes felt that she was
unwarranted, and under the dircumstan-
ces he thought the convention should
adopt. .themajority report. A4st &
Colonel J. j. Waters, Of Rock Hill, ex-
planned that his club list was made up in
1892, and had been carried forward to
1895. Nobody ever asked to have his
name renewed and the only changes had
been caused by death or removal from the
country. He claimed that the club list
was the proper basis Of representation.
When. he first saw, the sppertionment,e he.
did not have copy of the constitution.
and when he managed to secure one it
was too late to enter protest. Although
a member of the executive committee, he
had failed to attend the last meeting; but
had never dreamed that such q blow
could have been struck at the representa-
ton of his club. However, he was will
ling to abide the will of the convention.
J. M. Sims, of Bullock's Creek, said he
was member of the executive commit
tee and was present at the last meeting.
Rock Hill was also represented. He de-
MED emphatically that there was any
intention of discrimination or that there
had been any discrimination. The only
thing that the committee could do was to
'appertion representation on the basis of
the vote cast in the primary and this it
had done. Blacksburg had abided the
result, Yorkville had abided the result,
and he could see no other way for It than
that Rock Hill should do the same thing.
Upon motion of Mr.. @. T. Crook, Of
Fort Mill, the minority report was tabled
by an overwhelming majority, only few
half suppressed noes being heard. Rock
Hills delegation was seated as follows:
w. B. Wilson, w. j. Poag, A. II.
White, J. 81. Steele, J.J. Waters, VIM.
Whyte, w. L. Roddey, ]. II. McFadden.
The committee took recess until half
past o'clock, and upon reconvenfng, on
motion of Representative r. M. Carroll
the temporary officers were made perina-
nent. :.
In accepting the permanent chairman
ship, Senator Finley took occasion to
make q few remarks on the subject Ofna-
tional politics. He said that the country
was now confronted with some of the
most momentous problems that 1t had
ever been called upon to solve In all its
history. We are here as Democrats, and
| it is with pride we can say as members of
the party Of our fathers. The overshad-
owing issue is the fipsncial!qnestion! The
country has long been under the domina-
ton of the moneyed classes, the people
who are interested more than anything
| else in interest bearing securities. These,
Though fewer in number, have been able
to control. Cleveland was elected .as q
Democrat, but has departed from the prin-
ciples upon which he was elected. How
ever, the Democratic party is stronger
than men like Cleveland and Carlisle.
Democratic principles will triumph yet.
He believed that the Chicago convention
would declare for the free coinage of both
gold and silver, and had no doubt that
the money question would eventually be
settled on lines of right and justice.
Chairman Finley announced that the
next business In order was the nomination
Of delegates and alternates to the State
convention, and Mr., j. w. Thomson

There being no further nominations,
upon motion the rules were suspended and
the entire ticket was elected by acclama-
ticn.
Mr.. J. 8. Brice was nominated as State
executive committeeman from this county
and unanimously elected.
The next business in order was the cleo
ton of The County Democratic Executive
committee, consisting of one member
from each precinct. The names of the ex-
ecutive committeeman were suggested by
the respective delegations and elected as

AN Ohio judge has decided that
wives are legally responsible for the
support Of their husbands and their
families provided the husbands them
selves are unable 10 furnish the sup
port. The decision is said to have
greatly surprised the.iawyers, and also
the new woman. But the judge contends
that the law in Ohio in this respect is
the same as that in Illinois, Iowa, Cali
fornia and the Territory of Oklahoma.
In the Ohio case the amount sued for
was balance of 500 on a tailor bill of
venerable date, and the wife, who has
real estate valued at $4,000 will have
to pay it. 1a8 Efsa

Showed How They Could Fight.

Oct. II, 1776, Arnold's fleet stood bat
tie against the Britons on Lake Cham
plain. The British gained the. day, but
they lost much of their conceit about
ruling the wave. 1t was not going to
be easy work this side the ocean. The
British had the preponderance in ships
and men. The guns were about equal.
In England's squadron there were three
ships of war, built in England and
transported piecemeal from the St.
Lawrence to Lake Champlain. One Of
them alone, the Inf1exible, of 800 tons
burden and mounting. Is guns, should
have been able to destroy Arnold's en-
tire fiotilla. England's seamen also
were from the royal navy. Arnold's
ships were not intended for serious
fighting, but had been put afioat as a
patrol. Their crews were motley de-
tachnients and the officers had been de-
tailed from the army.
Arnold commanded the flagship Con-
greSs. Toward the close Of the fight he
pointed every cannon with his own
hands. His ship was hulled IL times,
seven. shots striking between wind and
water In the Washington every Off
Ger was. killed excepting General Wa
terbury, who fought on, the, quarter
deck with conspicuous bravery. The
Trumbull also lost every officer ex-
cepting her commander, Captain Lee.
The Grant was ridd1ed with shot and
sank. Under cover of night Arnold re-
treated down the lake. The British
ships pursued and after a sharp fight
in Panton bay the fleet dispersed and
Arnold led his men overland to Crown
Point. i Before abandoning his ship,
Arnold battled against seven British
vessels four hours. Setting fire to her,
he stood by and kept the flags flying
until the flames destroyed them.

An Interesting Suit.


There is an interesting suit being
tried in Chicago which several of the
farmers of this county will read with
avidity Those who have been buying
groceries from peddlers will probably
do so no more The suit concerns the
company which furnished the goods to
the peddlers. It seems company was
organized in an Illinois town just out
side of Chicago, IL purchased an
amount of goods fromsSprague, Warner
& Co, aud Chase, Sanborn & Co., and
thus established credit, then took all
the goods from these concerns it could
get on-iong time These goods We're
sold cat at less than what they cost,
aud, jof course, the company couldn't
do business long. Failing in payments
tho iobbers jumped on the company
and had a receiver appointed for its
affairs. A farmer Of Bristol, was

MINING WITH FIRE.
Queer Method Employed in the Yukon ;
is4a Country in Alaska. -

i9ft Country in Alaska.
From the Seattle Post elligencer::
j.. o. Hestwood, who islwell known in
this city, returned from Alaska on the
last trip Of the Alaska Commercial
.company's steamer to San Francisco
Mr. Hestwocd has some mining claims
On the upper Yukon, near Forty Mile
City. He left that point in the early
part of September, and it took him over
a month to get home. He. came "a p
1900 miles down the Yukon to st.
Michaels, on the coast, then down to
Unalaska, and from there across to San
Francisco. ~ . 5.ifS@ 81 ."
lS4tAbout 700. people went into the up
per Yukon country last season, said
Mr.. Hestwood, ''by way of Juneau,
making their way over the mountains
at Chilkat pass, then on the. ice over
the great lakes; for 800 miles; from
there they had to- go 400 miles further
by boat, when they reached Forty-Mlle
City. There has been a great deal OF
activity in the mines at Forty-Mlle.
1t was demonstrated last winter that
these mines can be worked as profit
ably in the winter as in summer; IN
fact, at much less expense. This is
done by the use of fire. A hole is sunk
by fire down to the pay streak, the
earth, being tbawed out by the heat.
The dirt is then hoisted by windlass
and left on top of the ground and is
washed out in the spring, opened up
quite rich claim this season on Glaci-
er creek, and | have men employed this
winter burning. / expect to take in
prospecting machinery next spring,
which will enable me to locate the pay
streak in the gulch in comparatively
short time. By using this machinery
hole twenty-five feet deep can be sunk
in a day, when eighteen inches a day
by burning is a pretty good days
work.
Speaking of the Alaska boundary dis
pute Mr.. Hestwood said: I'm my opin-
ion, if the United States fail to hold
their rightful title to the territory
which is in dispute they might as well
give up all claim to Alaska. If this
country should have no coast line up
there except above the 141st meridian,
entrance to the upper Yukon would be
impossible by way of an American port,
except during the summer months, be-
cause the mouth of the Yukon, which
is about sixty miles wide. is filled with
ice from Behring sea until late in June.
You can easily see what this would
mean-England would absolutely con-
troll the trade of that country. 1t is
universally claimed by experienced
miners who have been in Alaska that it
is one Of the greatest goldbearing
countries in the world, There are 5000
miles of waterway in which gold can
be found" sA' = ~;
