LETTER FROM HICKORY GROVE.

Some Proof of the Pudding-Early vegeta-
Twistification-Rev. Mr. johnson
Last Sunday.
Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
HICKORY GROVE, March 3l.-In re-
cent letter, your correspondent spoke Of
this land of milk and honey" also "hog
and hominy," and promised to give some
data along that line. So last Saturday
our congenial friend and townsman Mr..
Jas. Scoggins gave me some figures that
will surprise the natives. During the fall,
there has been killed in our city, So hogs,
with an average weight of $50 pounds,
making total of IA, $50 of good hogmeat,
and is now in the smokehouse awaiting
those politicians who may be 30 fortunate
as to "drap in and see a fellow"
Esq. Geo. C. Leech is the leader in this
section on early vegetables. Your cores
pondent is indebted to him for "mess"
of Irish potatoes Of his own raising, given
him last week. The esquire says "this is
my second "mess" this year, and will
have them from now on" The gentle
man will explain how he got them If you
write enclosing stamp.
A few weeks ago, one Of the kind hus-
bandmen of our section gave the "young
folks" an entertainment at his residence,
and during the evening the fascinating
game of classification" was INDUCED In.
Now this is no sin lin my estimation Of
SIM and your correspondent would not
condescend to speak of it, but for the fact
that a correspondent of the "Gafney
Ledger" has seen proper to try and wash
the "soiled linen" on this side of the river.
My friend and contemporary failed to
take notice through the columns of his
valuable paper to the same heinous sin
perpetrated on "his'' side Of the river,
when he was within speaking distance OF
it. Brother, pull the beam from the eyes
of those Unionites before you wash our
people of their sins; then, and not till
then, will we welcome you among us, to
prepare the way for terrestrial bliss.
The many friends of Mr.. Chess Leach
will be glad to know that he is to be
"at home" from Friday till Monday.
Chess is one of the "boys," and every one
will be glad to welcome him among US
again.
Miss Stella Stukes, who has been visit
ing Miss Bessie Howe, has returned to her
home at Newport. Miss Stukes is beau
tiful young lady and immensely popular
with the young as we'll as the old; there
fore, we sincerely trust she may soon
return.
Bullock's Creek folks will be surprised
to hear that Bachelor Sam" has fallen
from grace, and has been playing cards.
But 1 suspect it was the game with
hearts as trumps, and the last heard the
young lady had captured everything in
sight. Such is life! Goodbye, Sam.
Rev. Mr.. Johnson, of Yorkville, preach
ed to large and appreciative audience at
the NJ. E. church on Sunday. Mr.. john
son was one of the first ministers to this
section and is known, loved and respect
ed by high and low, rich and poor. Then
is it strange, dear to our hearts as this
good man is, we welcome him with love,
we part with him with sorrow and live
with the expectation of having him
among US again. T.

TILLMAN AND McLAURIN.
It Is Claimed That They VIII Consolidate
Their Forces.


The Greenville News has a CORES
pondent in Washington who is writing
some interesting letters to his papers.
Most of the letters are of q sensational
nature, and as to how much truth
there is in them, there is no way OF
judging. Here is his latest, under date
of March 26:
ga big sensation will be created in
South Carolina by this exclusive an
nouncement that Tlllman and McLau.
rim have buried the Ratchet and will
hereafter fight together on everything
certainly on national issues. The two
men had nearly two hours talk today
at the senator's seat in the senate, and
when they parted each was in a most
amicable mood. This news will have
additional interest when it is stated
that rumor had put McLaurin and
Irby in a combination.
"McLaurin has decided that he will
run for congress and not for senator.
1t is said that he will probably make
several speeches soon in South Caro-.
lima in favor of leaving the Democrat.
ic party if it does not declare for free
silver. He may invade Irby's county,
as he has been asked to make speech
there. With Tillman and McLaurin
pulling together, the latter will proba'
ably lead the boilers, as Tillman has
speeches in other States to make. The
delegation here now is solid for bolt,
and this reunion unites practically all
the Reform leaders on the issue OF
leaving the party. Every congress
man, including McLaurin, heartily en-
dorses Tillmsn's letter in The Register.
They do not believe that any large per
centage of Reformers will remain in the
party if the bolt is made.
"Even the Reform congressman here
are not aware that Tillman and Nc
Laurin are again on friendly terms ;
but it is dead sure fact that some OF
the men here who have not gotten along
we'll with Mr.. McLaurin, may now find
his friendship more valuable. Senator
Tillman himself thinks everything
will come out all right and is in better
humor today than for long time."

MANoEvRING FOR POSITION.

mANoERhlN0 rOtS fooIIION.
There was decidedly interesting devel-
opment yesterday in the case Of Mrs.
Ellen Anderson, charged with being an
accessory before the fact to the killing of
Charles T. Williams, at Blacksburg, on
the night of the 9Th of February last.
It will be remembered that Mrs. Ander-
son Is the only defendant in the case who
has yet been arrested. She has been out
on bond for some time past, and there was
great interest as to what the State would do
with her case. Nearly all Of the State wit
nesses were present on Monday; but the
solicitor failed to give out bill. 1t pretty
soon dawned upon the public that the case
against Mrs. Anderson was of very little
importance, and that it was not the inten-
ton of the solicitor to allow 1t to come up

YORKVILLE, s. c.:
WEDNESDAY, APRIL |, 1896.

The payment of poll tax is not obliga-
tory under the new law. 1t is simply q
question as to whether or not citizen is
willing to pay dollar year for the priv
ilege of voting. If he wants to vote, he
must pay the dollar, and if he does not
want to vote, he need not pay. That is
about all there is in it.

Carlisle said to a friend afterwards: 81

He was conspicuous with the bottle in

telling the reporter about the matter on
Saturday; "but I did not think about it

AGED FORTY.
Capt. Simerson Pleasantly Reminded
of 1t by Kau People.

The high esteem in which Capt. Sim
erson of the w. &. Hall is held by the
people of Kau, was very substantially
evidenced on his arrival at HonuapO
last trip, by the presentation of a pair
of magnificent field glasses, the occa-
sion being the fortieth anniversary of
fhe Captains birth, which fell due on
October 9th. The presentation, which
came as complete surprise to Capt
Simerson. was made on behalf of the
Kau people by Manager Hewitt of Ma
alehu, who in most fitting terms eX-
tended appropriate congratulations
on behalf of the whole district of Kau
to which the Captain very feelingly
replied. The glasses are IA pair OF
long binoculars, of the most modern
type, made by Bardou &, Son of Paris
who rank among the most celebrated
lens makers in the world. On the cas-
ing of the glasses is inscribed, in yer,
fine gold engraving, presented to
Captain A. c. Simerson with aloha nui
from the Kau people" 1t is to be
hoped Capt. Simerson may long be
spared to make use of his valuable
gift.

Hawaiian
Electric
Company.

The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the incan,
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gen
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and
want it done at once; no more lamps for me-
Last night lamp tipped over and it came
SO near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and / take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite a number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
Tthat you want the best and safest light; send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you want
We have complete stock of everything in
this line and have just received a lot OF the
very latest designs in chandeliers.

LAW OF CENSUS Returns
His Opinion Fined by District Mag
ON Appeal-Col. Norris Complies.

Marshal Brown returned by the W.
q. Hall from Hawaii, where he had
gone to attend to a couple of gentle
men who had not filed out the census
blanks They were School Agent j. ID.
Paris of Hokent and Col. 5. Norris of
kahuui ranch.
Mir. Paris position was on "A legal
point. He contended that the word
census implied no more than Il reg
istry of the population, showing the
increase or decrease. etc, and the
Government was going outside of its
province in inquiring into mans
property and private business affairs.
These matters belonged solely to the
taN-collector, if to any one. He based
his contention on the old census law,
which. he claimed. did not give the
enumerators authority TO ask such
questions.
/ There was no feeling on the part of
/ Mr.. Paris over the matter. He con-
| tended that he was right, and was
/ agreeable and willing to have the
question submitted to the courts.
brought it before the District Magis-
trate After hearing the evidence the
court found Mr.. Paris guilty of vio-
lating the census laws and sentenced
him to pay fine of S25. Still not feel
ing satisfied the defendant gave notice
that he would appeal ON his law point,
to the Supreme Court.
Marshal Brown found Col. Norris
perfectly willing to make his returns
He denied that he was ever dissatis
fed with the form required to he
filed. In explanation of his position
he said that he misunderstood tn,
school agent, who had visited him "a
to the time the blank would be calleC
for. The blank was filed and Mir
Norris was not prosecuted.
The only other case of real "buckins
ag'in the census i'm the islands, tina
of j. Niauhoe. the native arrested
here. has also been settled. He plead
ed guilty in the Police Court of violat
ing the census regulations. Sentence
was suspended on condition that 1t
fill out the blank at once and turn j
in. This has been done.
On Kauai number of natives helt
off for time. The sheriff looked u
the matter and found they were labor
ing under a wrong impression as t.
the purpose of the census. When tn
blanks and everything were eNplaine'
they promptly filed them out.

ASKING FOR THE MILITIA.
Terrible State of Affairs Existing in O
Michigan Town.


MILWAUKEE, Aug. ga dispatch
from Ontonagon, Mich. says that fires
broke out yesterday afternoon, and
famed by high winds threatened to de-
stroy the temporary buildings and tents
as well as the few structures that es-
capped the conflagration Of Tuesday
night. Several hundred men battled
the flames for several hours and finally
fought them back.
The situation at Ontonagon outside of
the restitution and suffering is described
as serious. In digging in the ruins of
burned saloons large quantities of liquor
was found and scores of men became in
toxicated. This element has ruled
affairs with high hand and other citi-
zens are in terror of life and property.
The hoodlum element has interfered
with the distribution of relief supplies
and so serious has the situation become
that the relief committee determined on
calling on the governor for troops to do
guard duty. The confusion is 50 great
that there is no possibility that the dis
organized authorities can restore order
or guarantee protection to the thousands
who are homeless and unprotected.
A telegram has just been received
saying that Rockland, the village south
of Ontonagon, from which relief work
at the burned town has been directed,
is threatened with destruction by forest
fires. The woods are in flames near the
town, and driven by high wind, are
approaching the suburbs. A large force
of men is fighting the fire.

BRIGHT FOR MINERS.
Two Mines Resume and Others Likely to
Follow.

SULLIVAN, Ind, Aug. 29.-The Island
City coal mines, Nos. and 2, resumed
work yesterday morning with the regu-
lar men on the 60-cent scale. Negotia-
tons are now pending between the
miners and operators at Star City and
Jackson Hill mines, and it is generally
believed that they will all resume on
Monday. This has been a long and
lasting fight and it will be good news
to merchants and business men in gen.
eral when work resumes.
At meeting of the citizens of Linton
it was decided to intercede between the
miners and operators with the hope of
bringing about settlement of their diff
ferences. The strike, which has been
on since May /, is telling on the business
interests of this city. Now that the
winter season is coming on, it is thought
that both will concede some points, and
a speedy settlement is looked for.

ZANZIBAR, Aug. 29.-The crisis here is
regarded as ended. The new sultan,
Hamoud Bin Mohammed Bin Said, is
expected to follow the peaceful lines OF
his predecessor and it is understood that
Great Britain does not intend to make
any change in the existing form of gov
eminent.
The suggestion that the presence of
the suppressed usurper, Said Khalid, at
the German consulate, implies a politi-
cal intrigue, is not credited here and it
is expected that Khalid will be han ded

the German consul receives the neces.
