Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1896-08-19

At Rock Hill last Monday, 80 we are
reliably informed, Mr.. Elder told the peo-
pie not to believe anything they saw about
him in The ENQUIRER as it would not be
true. Those who were at Tirzah during
the constitutional convention campaign,
will remember to have heard copstitu-
tional convention candidate say the very
same thing and inasmuch as this deliver
ance was made at Rock Hill, just at this
juncture, it will probably occur to the
reader that Mr.. Elder did not make use Of
this "sockdologer" until after he had got
ten especial permission from the gentle
man who holds the patent. However, we
esteem it a compliment rather than other
wise. We do not pretend ignorance Of
politics. We have had occasion to study
the matter until we believe we know the
tricks of most of the politicians, and as
to Mr.. Elder and his backer, we can see
through them like sieves. They do not
mind going by opposites, nor are they
particular about sticking to the truth
But they both know that we are not built
that way, or neither Of them would have
ever made use Of the statement quoted,
for after such advice, The enquirer
would have only had to say something
good about them, and their friends would
not have believed it.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1896-08-19

In the opinion Of THE ENQUIRER,
the fusion of the North Carolina Popu-
lists with the Republicans is one of the
best things that could have happened for
the Democrats. For this opinion we
think we have good reasons. In the first
place, the Populist party was built large
ly, if not almost entirely on the free sill
yer issue. 1t is composed generally of a
class of people who know what they want
and what they want it for. Fusion with
the Republicans two years ago offered an
opportunity for ascendancy, and that is
why the rank and file went into it. The
Democrats have offered that which the
Populists could not have expected to
have gotten for themselves for years to
come. The leaders of the Populists, of
course, are not satisfied /; but the rank
and file are not and will never be able to
understand why. The rank and file will
not be able to see any reason for fusion
with the Republicans at this time. Fus-
ion offers them nothing, and they know
it. Therefore, we have confidence in the
opinion that majority of them will
know enough to 60 back to the Demo-
cratic party, where they can get all that
they have ever demanded.

RESULT OF THE PRIMARY.

"Will next Wednesdays ENoU UIRER
contain the result of Tuesdays primary ?"
This is question that has been asked
more than once during the past few
weeks, and from all we know, our an
swer is "yes."
We have been making arrangements to
this end for week or more. Quite a
number Of kind friends have agreed to
help us, the telegraph people have agreed,
for consideration, Of course, to keep
their offices open all night If necessary,
and unless there shall be some slip-up
that we cannot now foresee, The ENouIR-
Err of next Wednesday will contain de-
tailed statement of the vote of each can
didate at each precinct, and the aggregate
vote in the county.
Our subscribers in some localities will
have to bear with us little on this occa-
sion. It is our custom, ordinarily, to
mail the Wednesday edition on Tuesday
evening at about o'clock. It will be
that hour next Tuesday when the polls
close, and probably in the neighborhood
of o'clock, Wednesday morning, before
we can get in all of the returns. There
fore, some of our subscribers will be some
hours later than usual in getting their
papers.
But, all the same, we will do the best
we can. Unless there Is some slip, next
WEDNESDAYS ENQUIRER will certainly
contain the election returns, and its re-
port will, as usual, be correct.

MR., BRYAN'S GREAT SPEECH.

AS great as was the speech which won
for Mr.. Bryan, the Democratic nomina-
ton at Chicago, the speech which he de-
livered in Madison Square garden on
the night of August IL was greater. One
was launched on the wings Of burning
eloquence, the like Of which has seldom
been heard in America. The other Is
permeated with penetrating, unanswer-
able logic that was calculated to satisfy
every intelligent doubt.
Although the undisputed master of
oratory, in his New York speech Mr..
Bryan deliberately laid his wonderful
gift aside. The great message was care.
fully read from the manuscript. Though
he knew that if he would, bs could easily
raise his audience-the largest crowd that
has ever listened to an American speak
er-to a pitch of enthusiasm bordering
on insanity, he did not deem it advisable
to do so. An off hand speech is always
subject to errors, both on the part of the
speaker and on the part of the stenogra-
pliers, and he thought it best to guard
against all possibility of errors. His
Judgment was wise. The immediate au-
dience consisted of only $1,000 or 10000,
and the great message was intended for
"a n audience of Is, ,OOO, 900 or q, 900, 900.
All of the New York papers printed the
speech in full next morning after its
delivery, and the circulation. ofthe news
papers that morning attested the wonder
full interest of the people. The New York
Journal, for instance, the leading Demo-
cratic paper in the city, had circulation
of over 900 copies, and the circulation
of the other papers we're in proportion.
That most of the papers were bought for
the speech alone was evidenced by the
fact that in thousands Of cases purchasers
tore away the surplus pages and put
those containing the speech in their
pockets.
THE ENQUIRER recognizes that there is
no need for any more free silver argu-
ment down in this country but, at the
same time, we feel that all of our sub
scribers should have the opportunity to
read and file awey the greatest political
speech that has been delivered since the
war, and that is why we give it in full to
the exclusion of other matter that is usu
ally contained in our regular issue.
compensation is the pride we can feel in
the fact that in all this section there is no
other paper like The ENQUIRER.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1896-08-19
ALMOST KILLED.

Mr.. Henry Shillinglaw, who lives with
his mother, about two miles east Of York
vile, met with q singular mishap lsst
Sunday morning that came near result
ing fatally. AS to the exact nature Of the
mishap nobody Is able to give any definite
information; but 80 far as Is known here
are the facts:
Sometime during the morning, Mr..
Shillinglaw went out to the stable for the
purpose of catching horse. An hour or
two later one of his brothers went out In
the same direction. and was Mortified to
find him lying near the bars to the stable
yard, apparently dead.
Assistance was secured as soon as posi-
BILE, the unconscious man was removed to
the house and DR.. r. A. Bratton was sent
for. 1t was not until an hour or more
after DR.. Bratton arrived that Mr.. Shill-
inglaw regained consciousness, and even
then he was unable to tell exactly what
was the matter.
His story was to the effect that he went
to the stable yard for the purpose of catch
ing horse to ride and turning the bal
ance Of the stock into the pasture. AS he
let down the bars, the stock came boiling
ont of the yard. Just as a young mule
was about to pass him, he raised his hand,
and that was all he knew. He was badly
bruised about the head and body; but as
to whether he was run over by one OF the
animals, or struck by one of the bars Is q
matter of conjecture.
Mr.. Shillinglaw's injuries, though pain
full, are not especially serious, and 1t Is
thought that he will be able to be up and
about again in few days.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1896-08-19
THAT CAUCUS BUSINESS.

An effort was made at Hoodtown to
find out who told THE ENQUIRER about
the political caucus referred to first in
our issue of Wednesday, 5th instant.
Each of the candidates was put on the
stand and asked the question. Although
the candidate who gave the information
to the reporter was present, each and
every one entered denial.
Mr.. James Cansler was the last man to
be put on the stand. He is reported to
have said: "There is lie out. 1t lies
between me and Dave Grist, and I did
not tell it."
Now it comes the reporters turn to
speak again. What he said was true. At
least half dozen or more of the candid
ates have admitted that they had heard
the same thing before it was published in
THE ENQUIRER, and there are dozens OF
individuals who will also testify. If the
candidate who gave the reporter the first
information does not see fit to acknowl-
edge the matter, it is none of THE EN-
oU1RER's business. 1t may be that he
fears that he will be called upon to give
the proof, and that is something that
cannot be done except by those who were
present. People who 60 into caucus do
it with the intention of keeping dark.
But since all the muss has been raised,
THE ENQUIRER has gotten some more
specific information. There certainly was
a caucus; but it was not success. The
participants failed to agree upon all the
candidates, and there was a split.up.
There was an agreement to disagree; but
as to what the majority and minority fac
tions have done since, we are forced to
leave to inference. The reporter has no
positive information.

in the south. The reduction, of course,
had to apply to all the roads in the asso-
citation, including quite a number that
had no interest whatever in the fight, and
as it was clear that such policy would
soon smash up the whole organization,
the Seaboard winked first one eye and
then the other, both in satisfied way,
announced that it did not propose to cut
under the 33s per cent. first named. and
said to the Southern people, "Go ahead
Jimmies, and cut your patching"
About this time the Southern people
began to realize the situation as the Sea-
board had seen it; but with them'it was
no joke. They were caught in their own
trap. To carry out their threat would
mean bankruptcy and ruin, not only for
themselves but for every road in the asso-
citation, while the Seaboard would con-
tinue to thrive and prosper. Instead of a
'possum, the Southern had caught wild

body to help to turn the animal loose.
The eyes of the whole country were
fixed upon the remarkable situation.
While the sympathies of the disinterested
were generally with the Seaboard, the
business interests of the south were alb
sorbed more than anything else in the
prospects for almost free freights. But
suddenly there was q new development.
Ostensibly at the instance Of Receiver
Averill, Of the Port Royal and Augusta
road-but really at the instance of the
now desperate Southern States Passenger
ssociation-.Tudge Simonton issued a tem-
porary injunction in which he ordered
both participants to the battle to restore
the rates that were in force before the wal
commenced, and to show cause, on Au-
gust Is, why they should not behave
themselves in the future.
Although great was the sensation that
was created by the prospective rate war,
still greater was that created by Judge
Simonton's remarkable action. There are
few who can see that the courts have any
thing TO. do with the matter. To most
people the whole thing looks like re-
markable and most dangerous usurpation
of power on the part Of the Federal
court. The question is now being argued
mainly on the question Of Jurisdiction,
and the whole country from one end tc
the other is awaiting Judge Simonton's
action in the matter with intense interest

TITS SERIOUS BUSINESS.

Aside from the anxiety Of getting left,
etc., this thing of canvassing the county
for an office, Is generally regarded as
quite a pleasant pastime; but this year
there has been but little fun in it. The
weather has been unusually severe, and,
as the result, most of the candidates have
Jared badly.
That the sad death of Mr.. J. C. Ashe
was due to too much exertion, there is
little reason to doubt. Mr.. Ashe YVES a

who had been accustomed to the sun all
his life, and had no thought but that he
was equal to almost any demand that
could be made on his strength. He had
been over the greater portion of the coun-
ty when he was stricken down, and had
taxed himself beyond endurance before
he was conscious of his danger.
Mr.. w. J. Waters also had very mar
row escape. Like the others, he had
been doing great deal of campaigning,
somewhat forgetful of the fact that he
was not quite so well able tn stand the
sun as he used to be. On the Saturday
before the Yorkville meeting, he was
forced to take his bed, and for several
days was in the hands of the doctor. He
left for Rock Hill on Monday, intending
to make the other meetings in the event
he was able to do so. 1t was the opinion
of his friends, however, that In justice to
himself, he should have remained at
home.

THE COTTON CROP.

The New Orleans Picayune, published
right in the centre Of the cotton prodnc-
ing section, should be good authority on
the condition of the present crop. In its
issue of August II, next day after the
publication of the report of the agricultu-
raj bureau, the Picayune said:
Never perhaps in the history of the cot
ton trade has there been so rapid dete-
rioration in the condition of the crop as
has taken place within the last few weeks:
When the government report was issued
in June practically ideal condition pre-
vailed. In July this promise had been
impaired but little, whereas the August
report, issued yesterday, showed condi-
tion as low as SOL per cent, the lowest
August condition in years, with the sim
gle exception of that of last year, when
the August condition was TO per cent.
OF course, there are many things which
may yet influence the final result of the
