The story that Senator Tillman was
howled down at Reading, Pa, not long
ago, is not altogether true. The Reading
Eagle gives the details. 1t was the occa-
sion of a county fair, and among other
attractions there were to be some races.
Senator Tillman got on the grounds just
as the races were about to commence,
and was directed to the grand stand
where a great crowd had assembled.
When he commenced to speak, people
began to crowd across the race track and
block it against the horses. Many people
in the crowd were more interested in the
races than they were in the speaking,
and at Senator Tillman's appearance they
grew impatient. They listened a few
minutes and then began to interrupt.
Senator Tillman kept on, and the inter
ruptions became more pronounced. AT
last the speaker was advised to get within
the enclosure of the race track. Soon
1000 or more people followed him there
and the speaking was concluded without
further interference. 1t was not, it seems
exactly question of disrespect; but
just case where there were large num-
ber of people who were more interested
in something else, other than public
speaking.

ATTACKED BY A COW.

Mrs. w. D. Chambers and her little
four-year-old son, Oscar, had a narrow
escape with their lives down on Mr.. L.
B. McClain's farm, on the southwestern
outskirts of Yorkville, last Monday
morning. The source of danger was a
Jersey cow, which, heretofore gentle
enough, suddenly became murderous.
The cow had been tethered out in the
field near the house, and taking her lit
tie boy with her, Mrs. Chambers went, as
she had often done before, to change the
animal to fresh range. Almost as soon
as the rope was united, with mad bel
low, the cow rushed at the child. Mrs.
Chambers pulled at the rope with all her
might; but was unable to hold the infl-
rated animal, and the little boy was
knocked over. Then the fury of the cow
seemed to increase. Mrs. Chambers
fought to save her son and the cow turned
upon her, knocking her down.
Mrs. J. A. Hogue, who lives several
hundred yards away, saw the desperate
encounter, and impulsively started to the
rescue. In some way, probably as the
result of Mrs. Hogue's efforts, the atten-
ton of the cow was distracted from hel
victims, and picking up the child, Mrs
Chambers ran with it to her house, the
cow following and still believing madly
Mrs. Chambers was bruised from head
to foot, and the little boy was badly cut
about the head, face and body. The in.
juries of Mrs. Chambers are not thought
to be especially serious; but those of hel
son are. At last accounts, though DR.
Bratton had hopes of the little fellows
recovery, it was thought possible that he
might die.

CAME RACK TO DIXIE.

That was a wonderfully alluring story
that was told by the Negro, June Moore
on his recent visit from Liberia to his old
home in this county. 1t made many of
the Negroes feel that ifthey could just get
to the African promised land, their earth
ly troubles would be over. Indeed, the
story was calculated to make some people
wish that they could find white mans
country that was as good as the one de-
scribed by June. But it now develops
that June did not tell it all. Here is the
other side, as related by New York
dispatch of last Saturday:
Among the passengers whom the steam
ship Waesland, from Liverpool, landed
here today were six colored people who
were overjoyed at finding themselves
again in the United States. They were
Taylor Smith of Forest City, his wife and
two children and two friends, and they
all had sad story to tell of the want,
misery and hunger suffered by the south
ern Negro colonists who sailed from Sa-
yannah on the Laurada last March to try
their fortunes in the black republic, Lii
IBERIA. From the day they landed at
Monrovia, Smith said, until their depart
ure, they were unable to get an hours
work of any kind. twenty-five acres of
ground were given them by the Liberisn
government, but there were no houses to
Shelter them or their families. Soon after
their arrival the rainy season began. and
with it came deadly malarial fever,
called by the natives "John Bull fever"
which carried away 40 Of the newcomers,
among whom was one of Smiths chill
dren. The disease was still doing its
deadly work when he left for the United
States. Smith stated that nearly one hall
of the 2O2 persons taken to Monrovia on
the Honsa, which left Savannah some
time before the Laurada, were dead and
buried long ago. Luckily for him he
took with him $500, which enabled him
to return home. When he left, old
friends, half naked and crippled by dis
ease, hobbled out into the surf to bid him
what they all felt would be last farewell. are ,ha
missionaries did all they could for the
unfortunates, but the returned colonists
said, like everybody else, they had very
little money, no food and no work for
them ~

it will 60 up. If the size of the crop has
anything to do with the after, it looks
as if we should be getting better prices
now. However when the cents notch
is reached, it is my advice to "let her CO."
Mr.. Emmet Walker is the most sue
cessful cotton raiser in this neighborhood.
He has already picked four bales off OF
five acre and expects to get still another.
If there had been good season, he thinks
he would have gotten 10 bales off the five
acres. All our farmers should devote their
attention to improving their farms as Mr..
Walker has done, and then they will get
along better.
The typhoid fever, which has afflicted
so many families in this neighborhood,
has about run its course. 1t is hoped that
it will not come amongst US again.
Some of our young men who do great
deal of visiting seem to have gotten very
much interested in the neighborhood OF
Smyrna. don't know what their object
is, but the understanding is that they are
candidates for matrimony, and I know OF
no better place they could 60 to.
Messrs. Hugh G.. Brown and Jesse G..
Parrot of this fleighborhood, left last
Saturday to enter one Of the Baltimore
medical college. Both young men are
hard and persistent workers, and their
friends are assured that they will meet
with successes. SUT.

ROBINSON'S CIRCUS.

The advance agent of Robinson q
Franklin Bros circus was in Yorkville
last Saturday, making arrangements for
visit by that wellknown tented amuse-
ment.
This is the same show that was origi-
nally organized by "Old John" Robinson
some 60 years ago, and so wellknown all
over the United States. The principal
difference is that it is now much larger
than ever and in fact one of the biggest
things of the kind travelling.
The show was in Richmond last Friday
and The Dispatch of Saturday contains an
elaborate account of the performance
and the menagerie, both of which are
said to be up to date.
There will be only two exhibitions in
this county-the first at Blacksburg on
Thursday, October Is, and the second at
Yorkville on Friday, October l6. Rob-
inson's circus never fails to bring an i'm
M ense crowd, and it is probable that on
the 10th, there will be more people in
Yorkville than at any time since the last
visit of this same big show, in 1889.

Young Harmon Found Guilty.

The trial of Mike Harmon for the
killing of young Cal Caughman took
place in Lexington last week. Caugh'
man was shot on June 10 and fingered
10 days. There was but little conflic-
tion in the testimony. Itappears that
all the Harmon family were suspicious
of the fact that young Caughman was
too intimate with Miss Florrie Har-
mon. The young lady could only as
sociate with the young man clandes,
timely. Young Harmon had learned
that they were to meet at the school
house. He went there and found
them in a compromising position. He
Immediately fired, and fatally wounded
Caughman. The sister begged him to
shoot her also. He struck her in the
head with his pistol and knocked her
over on Caughman's body. Miss Har-
mon testified that she had been en-
gagged to Caughman for seven years.
Their clandestine meetings had been
quite frequent. Most of the testimony
was unfit for publication. The jury
remained out on the case only about
an hour and returned with verdict of
guilty with a recommendation to mer-
CIV. There was notice of a motion for
a new trial. If new trial is refused
the case will be appealed.

WITH APPENDICITIS.

DIR. William Walker, of Yorkville, has
appendicitis, and his condition is quite
critical. He was first attacked on last
Friday morning at about 4 o'clock; but
made no especial complaint until late in
the afternoon, when DR.. Miles Walker
quickly diagnosed the trouble as above
mentioned. DR.. George Walker of the
Johns Hopkins hospital, was telegraphed
for Immediately, and arrived on Sunday.
On Saturday, DR.. Walkers condition
was somewhat more favorable, and the
improvement continued through Sunday
but on Monday and yesterday he was
rather worse, and at the time THE En-
oU1RER went to press, the probability
was that there would have to be surgical
operation. With or without the opera
ton, DR.. Walkers condition is extremely
critical, though thereis still hope.

COTTON GIN BURNED.

Mr.. S. L. Davidson's cotton gin build,
ing, which was located a short distance
from Bullock's Creek church, was de-
stroyed by fire last Friday afternoon be-
tween II and l o'clock. The fire caught
in the roof from spark from the engine
There was but little water available and
no ladder with which to reach the point
of danger. The building was as dry as
finder, and within very few minutes it
was completely wrapped in flames.
BY hard work, the gin was saved; but
that was ull. The loss included thepress,
IA bales of cotton, quantity of cotton
seed, and some machinery, in all aggre-
eating something like $1,000. The build
ing and machinery were first class in
eve cry particular, and Mr.. Davidson, OF
course, was the heaviest loser.
OF the burned cotton, five bales be-
longed to Mr.. John McSwain, one bale to
Mr.. II. F. Horton, two bales to Wash
Powell, colored, one-halt bale and the
seed of two bales to B. l.. Jenkins, and
the balance to colored troopers whose
names were not reported to us.

Old MINING OPERATIONS.

The reporter has been able TO gather
some additional information about the old
time mining operations in the northeast
ern portion of York township. The
principal source of intelligence is Mr.
James Turner who lives short distance
from the old Wilson mine, and who is
probably the oldest male resident of the
neighborhood. Mr.. Turner was in York
willie last Saturday, and when approached
on the subject of the early mining oper-
ations, talked interestingly.
1.-The first can remember Of the Will
son mine," he said, Twas when l was
little boy II years old. The mine was be-
ing worked then, and from the best in

been commenced along about the time L
was born. If that is the case, it was n
years ago.

LETTER FROM ZADOK.

Progress of Cotton Picking-Mr. Walker
Gets Bale to the Acre-They VIII
Study Medicine.
Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer.
ZADoK, September H.-News is little
scarce in this section; but all the same
reckon that few lines will not be amiss
if for nothing else than to let the people
know that "Sut" is neither married nor
dead.
People in this community are getting
along we'll with the cotton picking, and
think that in about two more weeks we
will have tho crop pretty well gathered.
The next thing is to know whether it is
best to sell now or wait for better prices.
This, many believe, depends on the re-
suit of national politics. Some say that
if Bryan is elected, the price will 60 down
for awhile, and that if Mckinley is elected
