A REMARKABLE CASE.

Argument was commenced last Satur-
day at Greenville in Judge Simonton's
famous railroad injunction case which.
for several weeks, has been attracting at
attention throughout the United States.
homespun explanation Of the matter will
be found in the following:
The Southern and Seaboard Air Line
systems are bitter rivals which hate each
other as the devil is supposed to hate
holy water. The reason for tho bitterness
between them is obvious. The sections
through which they run do not furnish
enough business for both, and one is con-
tinually trying to get something that be-
longs to the other. The Southern road
belongs to the Southern States Passenger
association, composed of dozen or more
other roads, and the Seaboard is running
it's business independently Of the associa-
ton.
The Seaboard has been standing in
pretty closely with the Chesapeake bay
line of steamers, between Norfolk and
Baltimore, and had an advantage over
the Southern. The Southern threatened
to put on Chesapeake bay a competing
line of steamers, and in order to protect
its ally, the Bay Line, the Seaboard an
nounced a cut of 33i per cent. in all
freights from the east to the south. This
action was in the nature ofa paralyzer.
The Southern people could not act inde-
pendently, and had to leave the matter to
the "trust"-the Southern States Passen
ger association.
The Southern States Passenger associa-
ton management scratched it's head and
thought and thought, and finally with a
"goodie, goodie, now I have you," an
nounced a sweeping reduction of 80 per
cent. the biggest cut that was ever made

nail. He said that if the government
was so jealous of its revenues that it
would shoot down a poor wretch in an
effort to collect IS tax on the distilled
products of his mountainside farm, it
should certainly make these banks pay
every cent they owed. The proposition
to let the bankers out of the tax failed |;
but for his efforts in the matter Mr..
Springer, the chairman of the banking
and currency committee, got a western
The question as to whether
that tax must be paid has never been
settled yet, and the banks believe that if
Mr.. Bryan ever gets the opportunity, he
will collect the last cent oft. It amounts
to something over sl0,OOO,OOO.

CUssING THE ENQUIRER.

A reliable gentleman who heard the
speech of Mr.. w. N. Elder at Rock Hill,
reports that Mr.. Elder paid his respects
to The ENQUIRER and claimed that this
paper had garbled his remarks, and done
him injustice generally "but people who
knew those connected with The ENaUIR-
Err" continued Mr.. Elder, "did not ex-
pect anything else" or words to that ef-
feet.
If Mr.. Elder means by, "garbled" that
we did not print his speech In full, we
certainly plead guilty. In the first place,
we did not have the room in which to
publish full report Of his speech, and at
the same time do equal justice to the other
candidates who were entitled to as much
consideration as he: and in the second
place, we did moi consider the speech
worth publishing In full anyway. We
only gave such portions as we thought
the people Of the county were most con-
cerned about.
At Blacksburg, Mr.. Elder called the
attention Of the reporter to the alleged
fact that the figures he gave to show the
progress of the state under the Reform
administration were incorrect, and we
took, pleasure in restating the figures, as
he said he had stated them originally. On
that occasion, Mr.. Elder went on to say
that he understood that we could not be
expected to print his speech verbatim
but what we did print was perfectly fair
and satisfactory.
Mr.. Elder evidently realizes that 1t is
good card to get out the impression that
he is being abused by newspaper. He
knows that If he succeeds In doing this,
It will give him votes. We have not
knowingly misrepresented Mr.. Elder in
any particular. Even II we were unscrup-
ulous enough, we would not dare do such
q thing even as matter OF policy, Tor. we
have sense enough to know that such
policy cannot win. Observation-Disclosures
the fact that his assertion is untrue, MT.
Elder has probably accomplished his
purpose all the same. When he gets out
the impression that he has been dealt
with unfairly, whether true. or untrue,
the effect Is the same. We have known
it to work that way before and see no
reason why it should not work that way
again.

THE CHEROKEE IDEA.

While at Blacksburg last Wednesday,
the reporter learned that quite number
of the Cherokee people were giving atten-
ton to the county division question, and
most of them were looking after the mat
ter with much intelligence.
One gentleman, who lives over on the
river, about half way between Blacks
burg and the proposed new county seat
Gaffney City-said: 1--WE want new
county with Gaffney City as the county
seat. We propose to do all we can to
keep Rock Hill from being cut of, 80 we
can 90 off and form this new county.
Another gentleman, who lives short
distance from the town of Blacksburg,
took different view. He said: II am
opposed to any division of York county.
I want the whole territory preserved just
as it is. But if there is to be a division,
it will be the sensible thing for our people
to 20 to Limestone Here is the reason.
Suppose the eastern part of York county
should be cut off with all its wealth, we
would be left in one of the poorest coun-
ties in the state, with but little reason to
ever hope for anything else. I have no
idea that the people Of this section would
be willing to cut loose from York under
existing circumstances but am satisfied
that if It begins to look like the eastern
portion will be cut off, we will be in a
hurry to annex ourselves to Limestone
before it is too late"
From the best information the reporter
could get, the sentiment last quoted was
by far the most popular. While the peo-
ple of Cherokee may be forced off to
Limestone against their will, there Is no
danger that they will ever 60 so long as
they can helpit.

- His advocacy of the free coinage of
silver is not the only grudge that the
various financial institutions of the coun-
try have against Candidate Bryan. 1t
will be remembered that in 1893, when
the banks were engaged in booming
their made-to- order panic, they put in
circulation over 800, 100000 of clearing
house certificates. These certificates were
circulated as money, and were subject to
a tax of 10 per cent. People who saw the
injustice of the clearing house racket
tried to make the banks pay that tax.
The banks got close on to the committee
on banking and currency and procured a
favorable report on bill to relieve them
from the payment of the 10 per cent. tax.
Mr.. Bryan fought the bill tooth and toe

such task as canvassing York county at
a time like this Is big undertaking.
Mr.. J. Ed Leech has been handicapped
from the start. Just about the time he
was ready to begin the rounds he was
laid up with some very malignant car
buncles, and although able 10 be up when
the campaign was formally opened, had
not nearly recovered. His physician
warned him that II he exposed himself to
the sun it would be at his own risk, and
consequently he has decided upon pru-
dence.
Mr.. Neely has also been handicapped,
not on account of his own condition; but
on account of the illness Of his youngest
child. During the past few weeks the
little suffer has been close to the point of
death and has needed such constant atten-
ton that the anxious parents have had
but little time to devote to other matters.
Several of the other candidates have
been complaining somewhat; but, as
yet, 80 far as the reporter has heard,
there have been no other cases Of actual
collapse. But the danger is by no means
over, and other cases Of illness may yet
develop.

Some of our contemporaries are boast
ing about the amount of missionary work
they have done in behalf of free silver,
in a manner that seems to indicate that
they are paving the way to justify them
selves in asking some reward from the
next administration. THE ENQUIRER is
not willing to admit that tslabors in this
matter have been second to those of any
other newspaper in the state; but we
promise now here, that we will not only
not ask for a reward but we will not
accept one if it is offered to us. We are
not running that kind of q newspaper.

OPINION VS.. ARGUMENT.

Here is bona fide conversation which
occurred on the streets of Yorkville, a
day or two ago. One of the parties was
for free coinage and the other for the sin
gle gold standard.
Silver Man-Have you read Bryan's
speech9
Gold Man-Naw, and amt going to.
Silver Man-Why?
Gold MAXWELL, have read the opin-
ions of all the big newspapers on the sub
ject, and that is enough for me.
Silver Man-Pshaw! You do not pre-
tend to say that there is argument in
opinion, do you?
Somehow or other the last remark broke
off the conversation.

two or three times, as new points or
new arguments suggested themselves.
One copy was brought with me and
and one sent by express to provide
against loss. Two paragraphs which
occurred to me on the train were added
after reached New York. Only two
persons saw the speech after my ar
rival, and they offered no changes.

crop, either in the way of further damag-
ing it or by retrieving, through improve
ment in meteorological condition, some
of the ground lost. 1t is impossible to
disguise the fact that considerable dam
age has been done, and the big crop esti-
mates which were entertained some
weeks ago, must, of course, be laid aside.
At this early date it would be the sheer
est folly to attempt to estimate the final
yield. An open fall might greatly i'm
prove the prospects, while bad picking
season or an early frost might further
curtail the outturn. 1t seems reasonably
certain, however, that the burden Of proof
will, for the rest of the season, be upon
the large crop theorists, with the general
tendency towards better prices instead of
the other way, as looked probable enough
some weeks back.

r. NJ. King of Denison, the most
prominent authority on Texas cotton
statistics, says that the crop in his state
Is one of the poorest ever known. Two
months ago it was the general opinion
that this years crop would reach 1O,OOO,-
600 bales; but judging from the reports
that are now coming in from all parts OF
the country, the figures will not 60 over

The New York bears were anticipat-
ing that Mr.. Bryan's speech last week
would have depressing effect on all
kinds of stocks. But they got left. The
speech was so clear and convincing, and
at the same time so broadminded and
conservative, that the effect was the very
opposite from what was expected. In
stead of stocks going down, almost every
thing that is quoted on the exchange
grew several points stronger.

1t is pretty generally conceded that a
thorough distribution of Mr.. Bryan's
speech will do the business, and The
ENQUIRER takes especial pleasure in
assisting in the good work to the extent
of sending out about 1,7O0 copies.

OUT OF RESPECT 10 mlS. ASHE.
THE ENQUIRER has received the fol-
lowing paper, which was drawn up at
Hoodtown on last Friday, 18th instant,
signed by all the candidates, and which
explains itself:
Whereas 1t has pleased Almighty God
to remove from among us our friend and
fellow citizen, James G. Ashe, and
whereas he being one Of the candidates
offering for an Office in the gift of the
people, therefore, be it resolved by his
fellow candidates:
First. That we submit to the decree OF
him who is supremely good and great
and say, "Thy will be DONE"
Second. That we express our deepest
sympathy with the family and friends OF
]. G. Ashe in their sad bereavement.
Third. That to better express our
pathy for Mr.. Ashe, we request that
the meeting at McConnellsville, appoint
ed for Saturday, be postponed until Sat
urday week, or day to he fixed by the
community.

FOUND BOTH.

Not long ago Chief of Police Love ad-
vertised in The ENQUIRER for the own
er of a stray mule that he had picked up
on the streets. The next day after the
paper came out, the owner Of the mule
came and got his property.
About the same time colored man ad-
vertised for the owner Of gold watch
that he had found. After two insertions
of the advertisement the watch was iden-
titled as the property of Mr.. N. A. sinril.
Mr.. Simril said he saw the advertisement
when it first appeared; but was not aware
at the time that his watch, which had been
lost by his son, was missing.
For the purpose Of reaching the people
of York county with any kind of ipforma-
ton, big sign painted across the clouds
would not prove much more effective than
an advertisement in The ENQUIRER.

- The Spartanburg Herald is response
BILE for another interesting story in re-
gard to the state bond deal. 1t says that
prominent South CaroliDian who went
to New York recently for the purpose OF
placing some bonds, met, in a brokers'
Office, Golden Rhind. He asked Rhind
about the South Carolina bond matter,
and Rhind said in effect: "Tillman did
not get cent. John Gary Evans got
$4,000, and expects to get some more, the
exact amount of which has not yet been
determined" The Columbia State made
an effort on last Saturday to find Mr..
Rhind by telegraph but was unable to do
so. From Augusta it got a message say
ing, "Mr. Rhind is not here, and his pres
ent whereabouts are unknown" 1t has
been believed all along that Evans would
probably put Rhind on the stand at Abbe-
vile today and have him make state
ment; but as to whether that is the gov
ernor's intention we have no information.

Why They See Snakes.

An oculist of New York city, DR..
Edward Davis. has discovered just
what it is that people with delirium
tremens occasionally zoe snakes. >
Hitherto it has been supposed that
these reptilians were creatures of
the imagination, but Dr.. Davis says
that they have an actual basis. This
exists in certain veins Of the eye,
which become filed with dark, pull
sating blood as a result of alcohol
ism, making them resemble snakes
in appearance and motion.
These blood veins of the retina
have no visible motion in ordinary
circumstances, but DR.. Davis has
discovered that in delirium tre,nens
patients they have q clearly visible
motion, that is somewhat irregular
and gives them the twisting, crawl
ing motion Of the serpents. DR..
Davis says that these lines are also
present in the vision of q person who
has gone without sleep, under ply
steal pressure, for any length Of
time, but of course they do not a.
sumo the form so often described
by victims of iEtemperance.

Vntangling Themselves

After the November election there
will be lots o. fun watching the fu-
sionists of Idaho, untangling them
selves one from the other. Some
Of them will be in q hard knot.
You see they are tied up in this
style: Democrats with Populists !;
Democrats with Silver Republicans
and Democrats straight. Populists
with Democrats; Populists with Sill
yer Republicans; Populists with
Mckinley Republicans and Popu-
lists straight. Silver Republicans
with Democrats Silver Republicans
with Populists; Silver Republicans
with Mckinley Republicans and Sill
yer Republicans straight. Mckinley
Republicans with Silver Republi-
cans and Mckinley Republicans
straight. Prohibitionists straight.
This is the status Of the political
situation in the different counties
Of the State. In such q mixture
there can be no party organizations
and the best thing for the average
voter to do is to select his men and
vote according to the dictates OF
his conscience and his best judg-
ment.-Rlackfoot News.
