IN THE COUNTY.

THE ENQUIRER made no effort to gel
up the result of yesterdays election in
the county by telegraph. For this it is
hardly necessary to make an apology
There was no possible doubt as to the
final result, and the interest as to the num-
ber of votes secured by the Mckinley
electors and Congressional Candidate
Jones, was not sufficient to warrant the
outlay sufficient to secure the informa-
ton as in the case of primary election.
At the Yorkville box yesterday, the
election passed off quietly, and the vote
was light. Many did not deem it worth
while to vote, and others, after putting in
their ballots, at once went back to their
homes. The colored population was out
in large numbers but most of these, it
will be remembered, are not registered.
Their plan was to present themselves al
the polls and offer to vote. Where they
were properly registered, they were al
lowed to deposit their ballots. Other
wise, their applications were refused. In
cases of this kind they quietly went away
and reported to a committee that was on
hand to keep record Of all such instan-
ces. There was no display of feeling,
and nothing that was calculated to raise
any disturbance. There is reason to be-
lieve that the same course was pursued
at all the precincts in the county.
1t was noticed that in many instances
the working of the new registration law
is not altogether satisfactory. Quite a
number of white would-be-voters, found
themselves disfranchised. In some in
stances they were without tax receipts
and were under the necessity of calling
upon Treasurer Neely for certificates. In
other cases they had lost, or were unable
to find, their registration certificates, and,
were, of course not permitted to cast
their ballots. And this made some feel
ing, for there are many white men who
can't pleasantly contemplate the fact of
their own disfranchisement, no matter
what may be the reason.

as any man could, put an end in large
measure to his thoughts Of business. He
was aware from the first that his malady
would soon prove fatal, and his close
friends are aware that for this reason he
was forced to abandon some broad and
we'll matured plans for development
which are now left for others.
DR.. Kuykendal's early educational ad-
vantages were confined to the old field
schools of the day but those who became
associated with him in his later years
would have never become cognizant Of
the fact from their own observation. He
was accustomed to make reading and
study his recreation. His library was
we'll stocked with standard works of
reference, history, poetry and science,
and from these he accumulated vast
fund of information which made him an
interesting and, instructive companion.
He had his convictions on all the promi-
nent questions of the day, political and
otherwise, and though not inclined to
make himself obnoxious, maintained
those convictions under all circumstan-
ces. In many respects he was one Of the
best informed men in the community.
He was also a member of the Episcopal
church; had a sincere faith in all Its
teachings, and continually showed his
faith by his works.
The funeral took place last Sunday
morning from the Church of the Good
Shepherd, the service being conducted by
Rev. Cantey johnson, and the remains
were inferred with the usual Masonic
ceremonies.
He leaves q widow and two children
DR.. c. M. Kuykendal and Miss Cora
Kuykendal. He carried insurance In the
Knights and Ladies of Honor, Knights
of Honor, and the Mutual Insurance
company of Hartford, amounting In the
aggregate to between $500 and $1,000.

The Last" Cotton Bloom.
A number of the people in town
last Monday reported that quite mum
ber of cotton blooms are still to be seen
Oh ridge land and other high places. In
view of the heavy frosts that have al
ready appeared, the presence of green cot

Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
Rock HILL, November 2.-For long
time we have heard the talk of our hav-
ing new depot. Now, it seems, that our
hopes in this direction are about to be
realized and that both the Southern and
o. r. & C. will do something to relieve
the inconvenience and appearance of
their houses hitherto used for depots and
waiting rooms. The Southern has about
fixed it's plans and will build what is
really nice building, on the corIer just
above their present building. The o. K.
& c. has not fixed on any plan just yet.
We hope ehey will keep up with the pro-
cession in the matter Of house as they
do in all matters of accommodation.
One of the most enjoyed entertain
ments given in Rock Hill lately, was the
reception given last Saturday afternoon
by the teachers of Winthrop to the ladies
of Rock Hill. The hours were from 4
to- 6. At 4, the parlors were thrown open.
The rooms were decorated with profu-
sion of chrysanthemums. A great num-
Der of ladies were present and found the
evening one that all would find pleasant.
The ladies of the faculty were the hosts
and made themselves as pleasant as is
possible for imperfect creatures to do.
Very nice refreshments were served, and
at the close of the evening, the guests
bade adieu, feeling much warmer ac-
quai ntance with the ladies of Winthrop.
We have not heard that the gentlemen of
the faculty would follow suit; but sup
pose, of course, they will.
Yesterday afternoon in the Presbyteri-
an church, and last night in the Baptist,
DR.. Groome of North Carolina, spoke to
union meetings of the denominations in
behalf of a systematic study of the
Scriptures. A number subscribed for his
reading course and for the normal course
of study.
Tuesday-election day-being a legal
holiday, the banks have given notice that
papers falling due that day will be carried
over until Wednesday. Quite club has
been formed to gather the returns from
the election tomorrow night. Little anX-
iety is felt as to the result in this state; but
the result here does not make our hopes
certain.
We made some mention before of the
corn shucking at Mr.. V. B. McFadden's.
We will enter his farm for the premium
one in York county, though it is not as
large as many. His acreage and yield
was a follows: Oats 7 acres, 100 bushels;
wheat 49 acres, ia bushels; cotton 10
acres, 10 bales, and more to gather; corn
30 acres, LOO bushels; peavine hay and
roughness, little more than 20 tons; Of
peas he has picked l0) bushels; he made
llO gallons of sorghum molasses us BUSH
els of sweet potatoes, and so bushels of
peanuts. He raised 45 hogs and 10 COWS,
besides fattening other cattle bought.
Who can beat the record? G.s.

nation Was Lost.
The proprietor of large store on
High street went to his place of busi-
ness at an unusually early hour one
morning; in fact, the sun had not yet
risen when he turned the key in the
door. On entering he was surprised to
find a man trying to open the door of
his safe. He stood and watched him
for some time, apparently deeply in
terested in the proceedings, says the
West Bedford (Mass.) Windmill, when
finally the burglar swung open the
door of the. safe with delighted
chuclle, but happening to turn he saw
that he was discovered, and became
very much alarmed. He jumped up and
was about to make his escape through
a back window, when the merchant
called to him:
''Don't be in a hurry, my friend;
come back and sit down awhile and
smoke cigar, while straighten things
up bit, and then come to breakfast
with me. You have done me a great
favor
s'Why, how's that?" asked the bur
glar, in great surprise.
''Well, you see, I had the combina-
ton of the safe on a bit of paper, and
last night I accidentally locked il in
the safe and forgot how to work it. I
spent most of the night trying to get
the thing open, and came in early this
morning to have another try at it. ;,
