YORKVILLE IN 1885.

Major James F. Hart has shown THE
ENQUIRER a copy of an old map of York
Vile made about the year 1885, and which
exhibits the plan of the town as it then
existed.
The outside lines form a big wedge
with the butt extending from about what
is now the colored Zion church, in
straight line east along Liberia (now Cali
formal street, to point about 2OO yards
southeast of the spot now occupied by the
residence of Rev. l.. a. johnson. The
point of the wedge is some 3OO yards
northeast of the residence OF Mr.. Z. E.
Spencer.
Four streets and one avenue, are indica-
ted in the plan. The streets are Congress-
J Jefferson, Liberty and Madison, and the
avenue is laid down as Spring. 1t is no
longer in existence, but was intended to
connect, Liberty and Jefferson streets and
and + open now, would be Il continuation
of Cleveland avenue, intersecting Liberty
street about the spot occupied by the resi-
dence of Mr.. j. r. Schorb.
The lots along the west side OF Congress
street, from the court house down to JEFF
ferson street, are marked as belonging to
the following persons in the order named
SO" r. McCaw al and l9,' Estate Ly-
mer; 49," John Mccall; '2O and 2l,"
estate of I. Adickes; ''22" DR.. James
"23," A. White. All Of the next square,
from w. f. Ferguson's store to the resi-
idence of Mr.. NJ. G. Willis, and far enough
back to include 26 acres, is marked as
having been sold to Hon. William Smith,
on August 9, 1909. The southeast corner
of Congress and Liberty streets was occu-
pied then as now by the old Jail building.
Lots 81 and 49," to the south, are down in
the name of Peter Quinn. The next lot
mo. g." was unoccupied; mo. ~ was
occupied by George Galbreath. The
property of DR.. J. r. Bratton, next ad-
Joining, is marked as lots Nos. "36, 35 and
a." and as having been sold to Robert
Clendenin, in 1918. The lot now occupied
by the j. E. Jeffreys's residence, is down
as being occupied by VIM. Hackett; the

Made a Big Deal.
Mr.. II. b. McClain has sold out almost
his entire stock of brick. He made deal
few days ago by which he disposed of
300, 900 to the Manchester Cotton mills,
and only has left small supply for the
retail trade.
Meeting With Success.
Rev. r. &. Patrick, formerly pastor of
the Baptist churches at Yorkville and
Union, is now pastor Sloan church,
Marion, Alabama. A correspondent of
the Alabama Baptist says that his preach
ing is attracting large congregations.
Preparing for Cotton.
The ENQUIRER has not been able to
secure accurate figures; but from the best
information obtainable, there were not less
than 40 mules sold in Yorkville last Mon
day. II does not necessarily follow that
this is an indication of preparation for a
big cotton crop; but such is the presump-
ton.
Farmers Mutual.
The annual meeting of the Farmers
Mutual Insurance company, of York
county, was held in the court house on
last Wednesday, and was largely attend
cd. The report of the secretary and treas
urer showed only two small losses during
the year that aggregated less than Sl5O,
and which will require an assessment Of
only few cents per member. The total
amount of insurance that is being car
ried by the association, is something like
$3.50 900. Officers for the ensuing year
were elected as follows: w. S. Wilkerson,

strength every day.
The Italian government has on its
hands little war that is calculated to
engage its attention for sometime.
The trouble is with Abysinia and has
been in progress for sometime. The
Abysinaians are said to have little the
hest of it. They have met the Italians
in several pitched battles and defeated
them, mainly because ofsuperior forces.
1t is estimated that 100000 troops will
be required to insure the conquest of
Abysinia, and the Italians have ex-
pressed a determination to raise the
necessary army.

Work VS.. PLEASURE.-SeDator Hill
has declared war against Washington
society, and threatens to make social
functions relics of the past. In a re-
cent interview he said:
81 think it would be mighty good
idea if the women were packed away
and sent out of Washington and the
men left alone here to attend to the
business that they are sent here for by
the country. The trouble is, there are
TOO many dinners and too much social
dissipation in official circles at the capi-
tai. No man Can 60 TO these fashiona-
bic dinners night after night and sit up
until morning attending to social func-
lions, and be in any condition to grap-
pie with the knotty problems of finance
and affairs that are at this time forced
upon the consideration of our public
meE
81 know that l am a crusty old
bachelor; but if any sane man will
think over what I have said, believe
he will agree with me and acknowl-
edge that 1 am right. This criticism
applies to members of the senate and
of congress and to officials of the ad-
ministration. l attribute good many
foolish blunders made by the public
men of late to just those things: too
much society and not enough attention
to and study of public affairs"

COOLING DOWN,

The probability of war between Great
Britain and the United States over the
Monroe doctrine does not seem to be sc
great at this writing as it was week ago
A more conciliatory feeling is developing
and more than anything else this is
apparently due to the correspondence
of Henry Norman, staff correspondent
of the London Daily Chronicle, who ha:
been in Washington during the past week
making careful and impartial investiga'
ton of the whole situation. His letters
are first cabled to The Chronicle, and
then cabled back to America and pub
lished in all the daily papers.
Among other things, Mr.. Norman has
said that while President Cleveland's mes
sage is one of peace, behind it is the whole
American people, and for Great Britain to
disregard or underestimate the sentiment
in this country, will be utter madness. He
realizes that neither Great Britain nor the
United States is made of the kind "f stuff
that is in the habit of backing down; bn;
at the same time, he thinks that war be-
tween these countries over Il mere matter
ofdiplomacy, would be the greatest crime
in the history of the world. These two
countries, he says, stand for Ill that exists
of personal liberty, and their destruction
by each other means to turn the whole
world over to despotism, and a backward
step Of hundreds of years for civilization
He thinks that if there is no other way out
of the trouble, Great Britain and the
United States might agree on some prop
osition to submit all present and future
differences, regardless of their nature, tc
friendly arbitration, and that the Venezu
ella dispute may be included. Such is the
general line of Mr.. Norman's reasoning.
A week ago, both Great Britain and the
United States, appeared to have taken the
bits in their teeth and were rushing head
long toward war without considering con-
sequences or anything else but pride
But now there is noticeable change o.
sentiment. The tone of the British press
is more conciliatory, and there seems tt
be more of disposition across the water
to recognize actual conditions. While
Great Britain is confessedly dictator ir
Europe, she can hardly hope to occupy
the same relation to the whole world
The United States is the equal of Grea
Britain under any circumstances, ant
while she does not aspire to interfere il

The Atlanta Constitution mentions the
circumstance of the last bond issues
being launched at midnight, and sees in
the transaction a striking parallel with
the operations Of burglar. Though in
figurative sense The Constitutions Illus
tration may be all right, it is not likely
that it can be borne out by the actual facts.
It is true that the papers say that Secreta-
ry Carlisle's announcement was given out
at midnight. 1t is more likely, however,
that it was given out sometime Sunday
afternoon. We hardly think that the Sec
retary sat up with the matter as indicated.
He had it all prepared beforehand, and
required the press associations to say mid
night, so that he might escape the charge
of having attended to such business on
Sunday.

MORE TAXES. When the legislature

MORE TAXEs.-When the legislature
meets, one of the most vital questions
for it's consideration will be the matter
of raising supplies for the fiscal year
The present levy is Al mills, but it is
not sufficient to meet the necessary
expenses. The taxable property ot
the State is valued at S169, 900, ,00C
in round numbers. With a levy Of
Al mills revenue of $780, 900 would
be obtained should it all be collected
which is never the case, as so many
nulla bonas are returned. The ex'
penses of the government will 60 any
where from $3.50, 900 to 100000, which
would leave a deficit in the neighbor,
hood of $50, 900 or more. Besides this,
an additional levy of one-sixth of a
mill will have to be imposed to pay for
TWO months expenses of the govern
ment, which have remained unpaid
owing to the change in the ending OF
the fiscal year from October to D"cem'
Der 81.
There is no desire on the part oi
anyone to increase the levy, if it can
be possibly avoided, but the money
must be obtained from some source.
The new constitution allows the i'm
position of a graduated income tax
and Comptroller General Norton may
recommend the legislature to adopt
some such measure as that, which will
meet the deficiency and permit the
general levy to remain as it is. That
appears to be the only way out of it.
The present levy has been too small
and the comptroller general has point,
I'd out the fact, but the Legislature has,
Notwithstanding this, permitted the
levy to remain as it is.-Columbia

= 1t is insisted by some of the newspa-
pers that the "Monroe doctrine' is not an
international law, and that no nation is
bound to respect it. We are not so sure
of that. International law is the law OF
might, and most Of the existing code has
been formulated by Great Britain. The
Monroe doctrine is the only internation-
al law that has ever been proposed by the
American people. They are of opinion,
however, that it has been duly passed and
approved, and whenever occasion re-
quires, they are prepared to ratify it. In
the meantime they are going on the pre-
sumption that the doctrine is already law.
