GAMES IN GREECE
Athletic Tournament and Sports Re
vived by the Ancient City
of Athens
AMID GREAT ENTHUSIASM
American Representatives Victors in
All the Preliminary
Contests.

ATHENS, April 6.-The athletic con-
tests, which are intended by the pro-
joctors as a revival of the ancient Hell
lenic contests, opened today and the pre-
liminary exercises we're accompanied by
impressive ceremonials. Great enthusi-
asm was manifested by the people and
the occasion was observed as a national
festival, the city being gay)y and bril-
liantly decorated and thousands Of sight
seers being abroad. Many visitors are
here, attracted by the athletic events.
The day opened with religious cere.
mony, the singing OF the TIE Deum in
the cathedral. This was attended by
the royal family and great throng of
spectators. Although the sky was over
cast and threatened rain, this did not de-
tract in any appreciable degree from the
enthusiastic interest in the sports. The
number of spectators who looked on at
the contests is estimated at 5000. The
Americans carried off the first honors in
each event in which they entered. To-
days contests were preliminary trials,
and so decide nothing definitely es to
the final awards of victory. The trials
we're running races at 100 meters, 400
meters and 800 meters, and throwing the
discus, sport as old as Greece itself,
and to which putting the shot of modern
athletics is most nearly allied. Hop,
skip and jump was also contested and
won by Americans.
In the 100 metre dash the first heat
was won by F. A. Lane of the Princeton
team, Szekely, Hungarian, coming in
second. The time was u > 5 seconds.
In the second heat at 100 metres Thos,
p. Curtis of the Boston Athletic associa-
zion won, Charlottesville, Greek, second.
Time, II As seconds.
In the third heat of 100 metres,
Thomas f. Burke, of the Boston Ath-
ietic association, won, Osman, German,
second. Time, II 40 seconds. In the
final heat in 100 meters, none of the
Americans competed. In throwing the
discus, Captain Robert Garrett, of the
Princeton team, won against Greeks
Parasrevepule and Verie.
In the 400 metres running race, first
heat, II. b. Jamson, of the Princeton
team, won, Osman, German, being sec
ond. In the second heat, Thomas f..
Burke won, Gimelin, Englishman, being
second.

Referring to the creation of the two
precincts above described, Douglas Mar
tin, chairman of the republican county
central committee, yesterday said that
he could not state to what representa-
tion the new precincts will be entitled
in the county convention, to be held
May 2; that will be determined by that
convention itself.
Precinct No. 80, which was recently
created, was allotted three delegates.
The representation in the convention,
from the old precincts, will be one dele
gate for every 20 votes, or major por-
tion thereof, cast for Congressman Hart
man in 1894. If the republicans in the
new precinct elect delegates on an estim-
ate of the number Of republican votes
which their precinct would probably
have cast in 1894, the convention will
probably seat the delegates.
The call for the democratic convention
has not yet been issued. 1t will desig-
nate the allotment to the new precincts.

NEXT WEEK.

Next week promises to be as full OF
interest for the people Of York county
as an egg is of meat.
Court convenes on Monday, which is
also salesday. These two events usually
mean a big crowd in Yorkville, espe-
cially when there are to be important
sales of land as will be the case next
Monday.
Then, following on Tuesday, comes the
general election. This, of course, will be
of no special interest in this immediate
section; but, all the same, for probably
days afterward, everybody will be keenly
alive as to the result.
After the election the next event of the
greatest local interest will be the Reese
Luckie-Anderson murder case. This
promises to last several days at least, and
the likelihood is that there will be some
sensational developments.
That THE ENQUIRER will fully keep
up with all the events mentioned, goes
without saying, and those of its readers
who expect it to continue up to its pre-
vious high standard in this direction will
not be disappointed.

ELECTION NEWS.

Next Wednesdays edition of THE EN-
oU1RER will not be published on Tuesday
afternoon in time to catch either of the
late trains. On account of the general
election, we have deemed it advisable to
hold the paper back until an early hour
Wednesday morning.
Arrangements have been made to Sc
cure the full bulletin service of the West
ern Union Telegraph company at this
place Tuesday night. For this service
the telegraph company demanded the
sum of $40. The amount was promptly
raised by interested citizens, and now the
telegraph company undertakes to furnish
them with all the news it can gather.
In addition to this, The enquirer has
made arrangements to secure from New
York at about 4 o'clock Wednesday
morning, a condensed report of all the
more important news that may have
been gathered by the great metropolitan
newspapers during the night. AS the
result of these preparations, Yorkville
and York county will probably know
how things have gone about as early as
any other section Of the country.

NOT UNANIMOUS.

THE ENQUIRER has received the fol-
lowing communication, dated Spartan
burg county, October %: :
EDITOR YoRKvILLE ENQUIRER: Read
ers Of the Gatfney Ledger would imagine
there is no opposition to the proposed new
county. Cherokee and White Plains
townships lin Spartanburg county, will
vote almost solidly against the proposed
new county. Gaifney will not be any
more accessible to the majority of the
people than Yorkville, Spartanburg or
Union. We want 10 increase of taxes or
any other burdensome expense imposed
upon our farmers until we have free
silver or some other money expansion,
(cut it short-financial relief) We want
big counties, rich counties, like Mecklen-
burg, n. c., Edgecombe, n. g., Allie
ghany, Pa, and the rich counties of New
York, where good schools and school
houses are maintained at minimum
cost to taxpayers.
We confess that we have no knowledge
of the sentiment OH the new county mat
ter, even in the township of Cherokee, this
county, except that we are informed that
there is wide difference of opinion as to
the wisdom Of cutting off from the old
county at this time. The reasons given
by the correspondent for being opposed
to the formation of a new county, strike
us as sensible and we publish the letter
for what it may be worth.

not informed; but that does not matter.
The point is, what has been done?
This year Mr.. Gordon has been run
ming only four plows. He started out by
sowing 20 acres of wheat and acres of
oats. Then he put in so acres of corn,
80 acres of cotton, 25 acres of peas, 6 acres
of millet, and about acres of sorghum,
along with liberal patches of sweet and
Irish potatoes.
Oats were complete failure this year
all over the country, and such was the
case with Mr.. Gordon's. On the Z
acres he only made 20 bushels. But be
did not grieve over that. What he lost
there, he has made elsewhere. The
wheat crop turned out 156 bushels, and
the yield of corn was 800 bushels. From
the pea and millet crop there have been
put up 40 two-horse loads of hay, besides
a large quantity of matured peas. AL
ready so bales Of cotton have been picked,
ginned, packed and set up alongside of the
house to serve as something pleasant to
look at while the cold winds have thrown
the leaves of the trees outside, and it is
estimated that there are still about five
more bales yet to be ginned.
In addition to all the above, Mr.. Cor
den has 13 hogs which he expects to yield
in the neighborhood of 1000 pounds OF
pork, and notwithstanding the fact that
this is his first year on place that nobody
else has managed to make produce fair
living, he thinks that farming is a good
business and sees no cause to grumble.

Acting for Justice Gary, who was dis
qualified from rendering an opinion by
reason of his former correction with the
case in which the question was involved,
Judge Benet has written the opinion of the
supreme court on the construction Of the
constitution as TO the extent to which
judges may 60 in charging juries. The
old constitution had it this way: Judges
shall not charge juries in respect to mat
ters of fact but may state the testimony
and declare the law" Most of the law
yers were of opinion that this should be
sufficient to prevent judges from having
anything whatever to say with regard to
the facts in the case. Soon after his elec-
ton to the bench, however. Judge Benet
became notorious, for what the lawyers
considered his disregard for this provision
of the constitution. He dealt with facts
as freely as if he were juror, and charg-
ed accordingly. 1t was really on account
of him, we have been informed as rather
open secret, that at the recent constitu-
tional convention, the fundamental pro-
vision in regard to this matter was
changed as follows: Judges shall not
charge juries in respect to matters of fact |;
but shall declare the law" Judge Benet's
recent opinion is said to be clearly in ac-
cordance with the provision, and it is
to be hoped that hereafter he will be
enabled to keep himself straight. 1t is
often very necessary TO have judges de-
clare the law; but in all cases it is best to
leave the facts to the jury.

NEXT MONDAY.

At the last meeting of the county board
of commissioners, the following was
adopted:
In order to carry out the object for
for which this committee was appointed,
we recommend that public meeting OF
the citizens of York county interested,
be called to be held in the town of York
vile on the first Monday in November,
1896, for the purpose of organizing and
taking proper steps for the incorporation
of the Kings Mountain Monumental as
sociation, and an invitation be extended
to the citizens of Cleveland county, n. c.,
to cooperate with us and send delega-
ton to the proposed meeting.
We recommend that the supe rvisor OF
York county be selected as the one to take
charge Of the meeting.
There having been no action taken to
the contrary, it is presumed that the
meeting will be held as per the above
resolution.

NOW FOR THE RESULT.

The campaign now drawing to close
is by far the most exciting that the pres
ent generation has ever witnessed. Even
in South Carolina, where everything has
been one way, there has been, and there
still is, intense interest. While in all the
other states where there is wide difference
of opinion, there has scarcely been day
during the past month on which there
was not imminent danger of riot and
bloodshed.
But now the end is near. Next Tues
day will tell the tale, and the remarka-
BILE campaign will he over. What the
result will be, of course, no man can tell
with certainty. 1t is easily posi- BILE that
there may be landslide either way, and
either Bryan or Mckinley will be so
overwhelmingly elected that the other
will scarcely know that he was in the
race. AS matter Of fact, we confess
here that we are confidently looking for a
landslide, and if so, we believe it will be
in favor of Mr.. Bryan. For the faith
that is in us we will give reason.
In all the history of the United States
there has been but one campaign that was
in any way similar to this. That was the
campaign Of 1892 when Andrew Jackson
was candidate, and the issue was whether
or not the people of the nation should be
turned over to the United States bank
bound hand and foot. Henry Clay was
the other candidate, and such men as
Daniel Webster and John G. Calhoun
were against Jackson. So also was the
money power Of the world. The news
papers of the day teemed with abuse
against Jackson the "demagogue," no less
bitter than the abuse against Bryan now.
There were daily stories of former Demo-
Gratis going over to Clay by tens of thou
sands. People were told that in the
event of the election of Clay, their pro-
duce would be worth so much, while
in the event of the election of Jackson
it would only be worth half, ETC., and

Not Guilty.

NOT Oullty.
An Aiken jury has declared the al
legged Broxton Bridge lynchers "no
guilty" Although the general public
| is of opinion that the verdict is moi
justified by the evidence, the fact thai
the accused has been acquitted occa
sions no surprise.
Pretty Kettle of Fish.
In Columbia last Tuesday dispense.
ry constables captured quantity Of
whisky in a barrel that was labeled
"fsh." The barrel had been shipped
by M. M. Sullivan of Savannah
to J. K. Keith, Charleston; but dis
pensary constables happened to be
on the watch in Charleston and the
stuff was taken on to Columbia. The
constables, however, had been advised
by telegraph, and upon the arrival OF
the barrel were on hand to take it in
charge.
Tickets Illegal.
The Palmer and Buckner ballots
have been distributed and Chairman
Thompkins says they are illegal. The
law requires that only the names OF
the candidates and the Office for which
they stand shall be printed on the
ballots. On q presidential ticket, for
Instance there should be "For Presi-
Dental Electors" and then the names
of the candidates. These tickets, in
addition to these words, also contain
the words "at large" before two
names, and "1st, End and 3rd," etc.,
district, before the others. Although
there is room for a difference of opin-
ion as to whether the tickets are really
illegal, the matter don't amount to
much, as the Palmer and Buckner
vote will be so light anyway.
What Constitutes Proof.
Columbia Register: There has been
good deal Of discussion as to what
would constitute "proof Of the pay
ment" Of poll tax by an elector who had
lost his registration certificate. 1t was
suggested that the elector might make
affidavit that his certificate had been
lost and it would be all right but the
attorney general decides otherwise, the
question having been submitted to him.
He says: "As electors can obtain
"A certificate from the officer author
lied to collect the poll tax in case of
the loss of the original, am of the
opinion that managers of election
should not accept any proof of pay
ment of poll tax except a receipt or
certificate from the proper officers.
Managers of election must require
from electors, before voting, poll tax
receipt or a certificate from the officer
authorized to collect such tax before
allowing him to vote"
