THE BOARD OF HEALTH.

At meeting Of the Yorkville board of
health last Monday night, a number of
health rules, Of which the following are
an outline, were adopted:
The board shall hold regular meetings

It was reported to the board that there
were four deaths from diptheria in Rock
Hill last week, and it was believed that the
disease was epidemic in the town. The
advisability of establishing quarantine
was discussed; but before taking any
definite action it was decided to instruct
the secretary to write to the authorities
and ascertain the exact condition of af-
fairs in regard to the prevalence of the
disease. The secretary wrote letter Of
Of inquiry on yesterday.

The Republican papers are printing
the names of all the three-for-a-dime
politicians who are boiling from the Chi
cago platform. The list is not nearly so
formidable as that which bolted from the
nomination Of Cleveland four years ago,
and when compared with the Republican
and Populist boilers to the Democratic
ranks, it is only as l is to 16. Let the
boiling continue. We like the exchange.

Lee, who has been ministeringl to this
congregation for more than year, and to
whom its entire charge has recently been
committed, was suddenly called away
from this earthly scene by startling Wis
itation of Providence, having been killed
by bolt of lightning near Brevard, N.
c., on Wednesday, July 16, 1895, while on
brief vacation In the mountains of North
Carolina
Resolved, That while bowing in SUBJ
mission to the inscrutable will Of him,
"who doeth all things WELL" we desire to
express our sincere esteem and love for
our beloved pastor and friend, and our
profound grief and sorrow at the loss we
have sustained in his death. His pure
Christian character, his devotion to his
work and his admirable fitness tor it nd
special adaptation to his particular field OF
labor, make his departure from among US
almost irreparable. But, while we Ia
ment, he has entered "the rest that re-
naineth."
Jesus Thy name we bless
And humbly pray that We,
May follow them In holiness
Who lived and died for Thee.
Resolved, That the above be sent to The
Diocese and The YoRKvILLE ENQUIRER
with request to publish.
THE CHURCH OF THE GOOD SHEPHERD.
Whereas, 1t has pleased Almighty God
in his allwise providence to take away.
from US our beloved pastor, Rev. Robert
Augustus Lee therefore, be 1t resolved
by the vestry and the congregation OF the
Church of the Good Shepherd, Yorkville:
l. That in the death of Rev. Robert A.
Lee, who was both by precept and prac-
tice true shepherd Of his flock, the
Church Of the Good Shepherd has sus-
tanned loss we feel to be irreparable.
2. That in his death each and every
one with whom he came in contract, has
lost a personal friend. Deeply 80 inn
pressed, he ever taught the true dignity
of human life, and sought by the sweet
purity of his own life, and thorough
conservation to the sacred calling, to Illus
trate how the Christian should follow In
the Masters footsteps; ; and with the Mas
ter as the only beacon light, by his own
Christ-like and unselfish life exemplified
the lesson he taught. We feel that, though
bereft Of his shepherdly kindness his
memory will yet speak to us, and guide
our footsteps in paths that will lead TO q
glorious reunion.
3. That the members Of the congrega-
ton gratefully acknowledge the many
proofs they haye received ofa tender SYM
pathy for them In their sad ioss, and as
sure his bereaved parents, In this the
evening Of their lives, and all his loved
ones, that we sorrow not alone.
4. That these resolutions be published,
and COPY be sent to the grief-stricken
parents Of our departed friend.

Want 1t to Garry Mail.

The Chester and Lenoir railroad people
are making an effort to induce the post
office department to put postal clerk on
the Blowing Rock special and make. a
mail train of it. They have employed
Major Hart to look after the matter, and
if they are successful the new schedule
will be continued permanently. The re-
suit will be to give Yorkville from six
to twelve hours advantage, especially in
the matter of Western mails, and we are
sure that the people here are willing to
contribute all the assistance in their pow
er in the promotion of the railroad peo-
ple's plans.

mean to say that I should have ad-
iourned court to come into this cam

Mr.. Duncan-Have you not left
your duties in Charleston and if it is
right for you to do so now, why was it
not right at the beginning of this cam
paign?
Judge Earle-The court took re-
cess by request and is still open.
Since leaving Charleston, have sent
off six DEGREES and have another ready
to send off today.
Mr.. Duncan-I say that no horse
which enters the race at the quarter
stretch is entitled to win. Continuing
he cited the precedent that Judge 1zlar
had established in laying down the
judicial ermine to enter congressional
race.
Judge Earle-It is not for the horses
but the people to say which is the best
horse. [Chcers.]
Mr.. Duncan-Judge Earle, you are
right. 1t is not for the horses but for
the people to say whether the prize
shall be given to a horse that enters at
the quarter stretch.
Mr.. Duncan went on with his speech
and said that Judge Earle would not
get in the second race. 81 will be lost,
certain then," said Judge Earle.

was greater than we had ever known
prior to that time. Then England
did not fix the price of our cotton. 1t
was fixed on the basis of our own
circulation. But in 1873, with the
demonstration of silver, there came
gradual change. Money became
scarcer and scarcer, until today do
not believe our circulation exceeds $5
per capita. The entire circulation of
the country is within the control of a
few financial centres, and the amount
we are to receive each year for our
products is apportioned out to us not
on the basis of the values we are ex-
pected to give; but on such basis as
will guarantee to those who control
the circulation of the country the
largest portion of our profits. The
tendency is to make the rich richer,
and the poor poorer. My friends,
they say history repeats itself, and the
conditions as they exist in this coun-
try now remind me more than any
thing else of the conditions as they
existed in Rome. When the wealth
of all the then known world became
concentrated in the hands of 1900
people, Rome fell; and if we should
allow this country to 60 on in the
same line it is now drifting, its fate
would be the same. But fellow citi-
zens, I have no such fears. When
this great crime df 1878 was commit
ted, our people were ground under
the heel of oppression, and had no
voice in the legislative halls of the
nation. Now their influence is again
being felt, and the heroic struggle for
liberty that they commenced years
ago, is about to be crowned with sue
cess. In the platform adopted at Chi
cago, every good and perfect principle
of government has been embodied.

west; but also the downtrodden mass
