The PASSING OF JUDGE LYNCH
Referring to the conviction of Reese
and Luckie, THE YoRKvILLE En-
oU1RER says: "We would beg to re-
mind those who may have been in
clined to think otherwise, that there
is still law in the land and judges and
Jurors who are not afraid to do their
duty. Than this, no harder blow has
been struck at mob law in South Caro-
lima for years." THE ENQUIRER is
right. If justice in the courts were
certain, mobs would not be appealed
to for it. If juries could be relied
upon to do their duty, there would be
few appeals to Judge Lynch, and
Judge Lynch himself would be con.
Yicted and hung.-Columbia State.

YORKVTLLE, 8. c.:
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 2S, 1896.

"A recent United Press dispatch quotes
Mark Hanna as saying that the farmers
have left the Republican party anyway,
and that Mckinley will devote himself
to trying to win back the labor vote.
Hanna denounces the interview as false ;
claiming that he has never talked any
such "rot." He may never have said it /;
but that the farmers have pretty general
~ left the Republican party, is evidently
q true bill.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1896-11-28

The Cuban correspondent of the Gin
cinnati Enquirer quotes General Weyler
as having said that he would prefer to
have the United States recognize Cuban
independence rather than otherwise, for
then he could treat American citizens
as the citizens of other nationalities and
fillibustering expeditions would become
fewer and further between. 1t is evident
that Weyler does not like the Americans
even q little bit.

A MATTER OF DISTANCE.
How Some People viii Be Convinced While
Others Will Not.

Others Will Not.
From the Union Times, November q.
Editor DeCamp Of the Gaffney Ledg-
er, with Lawyer Hardin of Blacksburg,
and Lawyers Butler and Grant OF Gaff-
ney City, were the principal speakers
last Saturday in behalf of the pro.
posed new county of Limestone. An
ingenious countryman, believing that
the opposite side would have no
experienced speakers to combat with
the editor and the lawyers, invented
map for the occasion, which in his way
decribed the outline of the new county
and the location of the principal points,
postoffices, rivers, creeks, etc. Mr..
DeCamp examined the map very care.
fully and mounted the speakers stand
to explain. "Why," said be, "this Is
splendid map of the new county. I
do not think it could be excelled. 1t
shows the great Southern railroad
crossing it, the live town of Blacks
burg accurately, the 0: &. & G. rail-
road, all the creeks and rivers. I am
so glad to have it here. l could not
have made such a correct map. Mr.
c., did you make this map?" II did,"
receiving the map back from the editor.
The editor continued, "Now that
map perfectly and completely shows
what a fine county we will have. 1t
has been said by those opposed to the
new county that no one knew the
bounds. I am glad to find one here
who knows the line so well as to be
able to get up an excellent map"
Suddenly the country man asked the
following
"Mr. DeCamp, how far is it from
Gaffuey to the North Carolina line ?"
"Nine miles,"
"How far to Pinckney ferry?"
Eighteen miles,"
care you sure. Don't you know it
is 25 miles ?"
"Hand that map back here" says
DeCamp, and calls tor a tape line which
was handed him, and he measures the
distance from Gaffney to the North
Carolina line, and finds it to be one
inch. =
"My friend" said he, "what is the
scale of this map?"
"Two inches to the mile"
"That won't do," excitedly said De-
Camp; "only two miles?"
"You see it measures one inch"
.."Oh !" said the countryman, ~ am
mistaken it is four miles to the inch."
The young editor hurries then to
measure the distance to Pinckney;
and finds it II inches.
"Good God, Mr.. c., that makes it A
miles Such a map %
The crowd cheered vociferously.
Mr.. DeCamp again asked, "Where
did you get your idea ?"
"From the United States Postal SER
vice and the Gafney new county
survey" DeCamp was bewildered.

ROCK HILL HAPPENINGS.

How Thanksgiving Was Spent-servIces In

Correspondence OF the Yorkville Enquirer.
Rock HILL, November 26.-Today has
been Thanksgiving day in earnest. Our
citizens are of opinion that matters in all
lines are looking up, and they felt that
some indulgence in pleasurable pursuits
was allowable, while some manifestation
of gratitude was but proper. The busi-
ness men closed up, and employer and en-
plosee alike, took rest from their daily
labors. Plans were laid for many hunt,

HARRISBURG. Pa. Aug. I3.--John NJ. Garman
Of LuEerne county was elected Chairman Of the
Democratic State COMMITTEES this afternoon TO
succeed Robert f. Wright of Allentown whose
resignation was accepted with vote of thanks
Tor his efficient services ana regret that he cam
not see his way clear to support tho Chicago
ticket and platform. The resolution was Of
fered by City Chairman Curley of Philadelphia.
There were q few hotheads who did not want
to have read either his letter OF resignation or
his correspondence regarding Withdrawals of
electors on the State ticket. but better judg-
ment prevailed and they were listened to- II
was agreed that the recent State Convention
held at Allentown should be reconvened In
Harrisburg on Thursday, Sept. 10, at IL O'Clock,
TO MI vacancies on tho ticket to amend the
resolutions adopted at Allentown, which means
the substitution. IL possible. OF silver for tho
gold plank now In the platform. and to transact
other business.
llA resolution TO appoint . committee to confer
with committee of Populists regarding tont
electoral ticket was laid on the table with the
suggestion that the Convention was the proper
body to deal with that question. But all this
was not accepted without much speechmaking
and indescribable confusion. The Harrity and
anti-Harrty factions locked horns at the out
set, aud they never fraterni7ed throughout the
proceedings. The result Is regarded a victory
for neither faction. although the Kerr people
say they are entirely satisfied. So also do the
Harrity people.
This ie Col. Singerley's letter withdrawing
from the electoral ticketi
mot being In accord with the platform de-
clared at Chicago by the National Democratic
Convention my resignation ono OF tho can
didates for elector At large In Pennsylvania is
hereby respectfully rendered to your committee.
This declaration has been withheld awaiting
your meeting; II is oven now made with regret.
Though unable and unwilling to support the
platform and ticket made at Chicago. l am and
will bo to the end Democrat. Very truly
yours, WILLIAM NJ. SISGERLY."
