WEDNESDAY AND SATURDAY.

Hereafter the publication days OF The
ENQUIRER will be Wednesday, Thurs
day and Saturday. The first edition o.
the semi-weekly will appear on Wednes.
day, the second edition on Saturday, and
the weekly on Thursday.
This arrangement has been in contem'
plation more than year; but unfavora'
BILE schedules have been serious obsta'
Gle in the way. We have been giving oul
attention to this matter since last October,
and although our efforts met with success
sometime back, the desired changes vii
not 90 into effect until July 1, at which
time THE ENQUIRER will also be or
hand.
After the change of schedule and publ
cation day, both editions will reach every
section of the county on the day of publ
cation except that the Saturday edition
will not 90 out on the Bethany route unit
the following Monday. This disadvan'
tage will be offset, however, by the fac
that the weekly will 60 over the route or
Friday morning.
The advantages of these changes are OBJ
vious. With one paper on "Wednesday
and another on Friday, there are five days
between two issues and only two days be-
tween two. This is an unequal and un-
unsatisfactory division of the week, anc
by throwing the second edition of the
semi-weekly one day later, we will bt
able to handle events in such manner az
to give them publicity at much more
convenient seasons.
There will be no weekly edition or
Saturday of next week, nor until tht
following Thursday. Instead of it, VIZ
will send out to all our subscribers OF
next Wednesday an eight page edition o
the semi-weekly, filled with live interest
ing and instructive matter which will be
appreciated by everybody. Watch for it

"ONLY A STATEHOUSE CLERK"

"But when the clerk in the office OF my
secretary of state criticises my admins
tration, it's time for me to speak"
These are the contemptuous words that
Governor Evans is reported to have uttered
after Mr.. John T. Duncan, of Newberry,
and candidate for United States senate,
had completed his arraignment Of the
present administration, at Manning, last
Monday.
In an European country where there is
a puffed up aristocracy and the. common
people" constitute bootlicking herd, the
.resnlt of such remark would have been
whitening humiliation. But in South
Carolina, all men are entitled to the same
rights and privileges. Tillman used to
say that public officers are merely SER
wants and that the people are masters.
Is there any office in this State too high
for any citizen to aspire to? A few years
ago, John Gary Evans was comparative
ly unknown, highfiying lawyer about
Aiken with only an Indifferent practice.
More on account of favor and accident
than on account of any inherent worth,
he has been raised to the high office OF
governor of the sovereign State of South
Carolina. Such position is calculated to
make any man feel puffed up it is true |;
hut the moment he shows signs of being
puffed up there is evidence that there has
bee mistake in his selection.
John T. Duncan is graduate of Fur
man university, farmer, an ex-repre-
sentative in the legislature, and is now
chief clerk in the office of the secretary OF
state. He has more than once shown him
self to be possessed of convictions OF his
own, and the moral and physical courage
to uphold those convictions.
And what did Duncan do under the
present circumstances? Deliberately ris-
ing to his feet and looking the governor
squarely in the eye, with quiet but omi-
nous determination, he asked, "Do you
mean any personal reflection?" In the
indignant manner of the governor, there
was sud den change. With all the suavity
possible, he mildly replied, ~ meant
nothing personal; I am glad to have
opposition"
Are all men equal in this country of
ours? If so, why this remark of the
governors? If not, who, in the incident
related, appears to be possessed of the
most genuine manhood, the man who is
governor of South Carolina, or the man
who is "only clerk in the Office of his
secretary of state?"

ON TO RICHMOND.

The outlook is that during the ap
preaching Confederate reunion, the city
of Richmond is to be crowded with thf
largest number of people who have beer
there at any one time since the war, ano
there will be a good many from thi'
county. The crowd will be made w
principally of ex-Confederate soldiers
but it is not to be an exclusive affair a
all. Others will take advantage OF the
low rates and also enjoy the pleasure O.
visiting the old Confederate capital and
many of the battlefields of Virginia
Those who have so far given their names
to Secretary Waters, of Camp Micah Jen,
kins, are as follows:
J. L. Rainey, Jerry Walker, w. b
Stroup, w. B. Smith, j. j. Smith, w. D.
Moore, J. J. Stewart, J. M. Sims, John
Campbell, N. B. Campbell, James M
Barnett, Alexander Barnett, j. d. kell
n, b. Bratton, DR.. ]. r. Bratton, w. o.
Youngblood, j. Ed. Jefferys, JOS: r.
Wallace, E. A. Crawford, w. n. McCon-
nell, A. F. Mcconnell, o. L: Sanders, A.
lace. II. B. Wallace, ]. 8. Drakeford, 6.
A. Patrick, NJ. A. Bigger, B. L. Will
liams, B. F. Scoggins, j. A. Ratteree.
In addition to these, there are no doubt
numerous others who expect to leave
from this point. 1t is important that
they should give their names to Secreta-
ry Waters at once. This is in order that
the railroad people may have the infor-
nation by which they can furnish the
necessary accommodations.
The officers of the Micah Jenkins camp
sometime ago, decided to 60 by the
Southern railroad. Though the Sea-
board route is somewhat the cheaper, the
Southern was chosen for the reason that
it offered the best schedule. The condi-
tions, however, have since been changed.
THE ENQUIRER is in receipt OF official
information from General Passenger
Agent Lumpkin, of the o. r. q c., To
the effect that on the morning Of the 18th,
at 6 o'clock, he will start special train
from Blacksburg, that will reach Cataw-
ba Junction at $50 a. m. and make dlrecl
connection with the Seaboard Air Line
train, which will reach Richmond OH the
evening of the same day. Excursionists,
of course, may 60 by either route they
choose; but now it seems that the sea-
board has rather the best of it.

FRIDAY, JUNE 26, 1896.

Having secured the filing of his pledge
as stated in the special telegram to The
ENQUIRER on Wednesday, Judge Earle
has published card in which he an
nounces his platform. He says that he Is
for the free and unlimited coinage Of sill
YER at 16 to l, tariff for revenue only, and
in accord with the views of Senator Till
man. He is prevented from going on the
stump at present on account of his off,
cial duties; but hopes to meet the people
later. His candidacy fails to arouse any
special enthusiasm.

Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer.
Rock HILL, June M.-Mr. Frank II.
Wardlaw, who was for long time "at
home" in Rock Hill has been here since
the commencement at Davidson college.
Mr.. Wardlaw has taught for the past year
as principal in Marion, 8. G. At present
he is in attendance on the Teachers Insti-
tute in Yorkville.
Prot. E. P. Moses, Of Winthrop college
and Miss Emma Roach, of the Graded
school, are in Yorkville to conduct this
institute. It is hoped that many teach
ers will avail themselves Of the opportu-
nifty thus offered.
The many friends of Prof L. w. Dick,
will be pleased to learn that he will re-
turn to this State as superintendent oft
graded school in Aiken. He has been
identified with Rock Hill for number
of years and there are many here who
wish him we'll. He has taught for the
past year in Lincolnton, N. c., we well
come him back to his native heath.
For some time Miss Julia Blake has
been very low with fever. Today she
passed over the river to enter the golden
gate of the eternal city. Her family has
the sympathy oftaose who know its mem'
bers.
Our efficient, and kindly, Nightwatch-
man Dolby has been quite sick for some
time. He has the best wishes OF num-
ber of friends, but his condition is little II
any improved.
Next Sunday DR.. Leftwich, revivaiist
of considerable reputation will begin
protracted meeting in the Methodist
church at this place. Preparatory SER
vices have been conducted there at night,
this week. DR.. Leftwich breaches with
great force and rarely fails to makea pro-
found impression. He Is on the right
method too in asking for preparatory
services.
There is a feeling in Rock Hill that we
have been greatly favored by the State
Democratic Executive committee in hav-
ing no meeting of the candidates for State
Offices set for this place. The style which
they seem to have adopted is not calcula-
ted to enlighten the average voter or to in
terest any one who dislikes moral mud
pie" If this style of canvassing is one Of
the benefits for which Tillman claims
credit, future generations are very apt not
to size up and call him blessed. G.s.

not be cut less than 500 square miles, and
there are only 764 square miles in the
county, as is the case in York, such an
editor would not hesitate to become a
party to a pretended survey with the in
tention of falsifying the returns, making
the area something like 800 square miles,
lobbying it through the legislature, and
so manipulate as to diyide up the county
with about 400 square miles on one side
and only 300 square miles on the other.
The fact that each of the new counties
would have to pay as much taxes as both
paid before, would not cut any figure
with such man at all. The formation OF
a new county is what he is driving at.
But in conclusion, The Herald "has no
candidates, has counseled none to run, is
attending to its own business, and does
not consider that the legislative delega-
ton has anything to do with the matter"
Then why has it excited itself so greatly
and sworn such dire vengeance against
Central York's'' candidates? Maybe
somebody is fooled, but THE ENQUIRER
is not. 1t never has been. Central York"
said: 1--WE have been fooled once on the
county question; but I do not think we
should be fooled again." A great many
people were fooled but THE ENQUIRER
was not even surprised-that is, at the
ring leader, who is still in charge of the
Job.
