Republican plurality will be between
$4,000 and $4,000, the largest in the his
tory of the state. In every county IN
the state the Republican ticket was
successful, and almost every town
showed Republican gain. The Dem
ocratic vote is about 40 per cent. less
than in 1892 about 20 per cent. of this
has gone to the Republican ticket and
the stay-at-homes are responsible for
the other half The vote of the Pop

WATER FAMINE.

The people of Yorkville have just been
brought to the keenest possible realiza-
ton of the great utility and value of the
towns water plant. The present in
stance is the result of an accident. The
piston rod Of the big pump used to force
the water up into the standpipe brok
last Monday morning and cut off the
available supply.
Although Superintendent Of the Water
works Moore has been doing all in his
power to get the accident repaired, when
THE ENQUIRER went to press he had not
completed the work. 1t took two men
until 12 o. clock Monday night to get the
broken piston out of the pump. The men
were started to the Charlotte machine
shops Immediately, and it is hoped that
things will be in working shape today.
In the meantime, most of the people
living along the watermains, who have
gotten in the habit of using the water
from the works in preference to any 9TH
er, are thoroughly approaching the value
of the plant. There has been serious
suggestion of the idea of getting dupli-
cate of the big pump now in use, to fall
back upon in case of a similar emergency.

CAUGHT HIM AT LAST.

John Hart, the Negro desperate who
was the cause of the big row at Glover on
the Sd of October, was brought down to
Yorkville on Monday by Constable f.
n. Hufstetler of CASTOR county, n. G.
Policemen J. w. Carroll of Gastonia, and
J. NJ. Alexander of Clover, and commit
ted to Jail.
Hart is charged with assault and battery
with intent to kill. The details as to the
disturbance out of which the charge grew,
were published in THE ENQUIRER OF
October 5. 1t will be remembered that
Hart and several other Negros had been
engaged in difficulty and that Hart re-
sisted arrest at the hands of the Glover
authorities. AS the result, he empted his
revolver at the officers and quite num-
Der of shots were fired at him while he
was making his escape on horseback.
The Glover authorities were very much
aroused at the incident, and at once sci
about a strong effort to capture the Ne
gro. They advertised him well, and
among other things, offered reward of
$50 for his apprehension. But this avail
ed nothing for time. Hart left the
country, and until a few weeks ago, it was
reported that he had gone to Tennessee

AN AFFECTING SCENE.

Austin Sammons, a young white man,
was convicted in Greenville on the l4th
instant Of the murder of Frank Griffith
about his own age, at Piedmont last sum-
mer. A motion for new trial was argued
before Judge Witherspoon last Saturday
and refused. Before sentencing the pris-
oner to he hanged on January Is, 1897
Judge Witherspoon, according to the
Greenville News, addressed him as fol-
lows:
"Doubly and peculiarly sad in your
case, who are just entering the theatre ol
life, to he found guilty of the highest
crime. T will say candidly that in voul
case here it is one Of the saddest official
duties have been called upon to perform
It is only human to say th at your case ex-
cites the most profound sympathy. But
while I can extend to you the sympathy
of an affectionate heart, for / have son,
vet I have stern duty to perform. On,
conflict has been going on in my heart
the last few days between sympathy Tor
YOU and your widowed mother, whom, as
I understand. you are the only support,
and the duty I am compelled to perform.
I gave the jury an opportunity to enter
Recommendation clause; but they have
not seen fit to do so. Now, Austin, sin
cerely beg the mercy upon your soul OF
that God who alone with you know
whether you are guilty. If you are, en-
treat you to go before Him upon your
knees and confess. He is free to forgive
even as bloody crime as you are charged
with, if you reverentially plead his mercy.
And oh, if you do not understand this
beautiful plan Of salvation, recommend
you to go to some of these good preach
ers around here who by precept, exam
pie and otherwise, are able and willing to
lead you to the mercy seat"
Although many eyes became moist at
the earnest and tender words of the
Christian judge, the prisoner himself
seemed to be entirely unconcerned and
continued to look about the court room as
if hewere hero of the occasion. A Sob
bing child wentup and took the prisoners
hand, and for the first time Sammons
broke down and cried.

Injured His Eye.
Mr.. Frank Caldwell had the misfortune
of getting one of his eyes filled with grit
while working at the Wallace gold mine
on yesterday. DR.. Miles Walker was
sent for and found the condition Of the
injured organ to. be quite serious; but
since the removal of the grit that gave
the trouble, there seems to he no danger
that the eye will go out.
Painfully Injured.
Mr.. j. A. Hogue sustained a painful
injury yesterday morning. He was

They Drop From Sight.
Except in the event Of some unforeseen
development, the Reese case now drops
from sight 80 far as the public is con-
cerned, at least for the present. The
appeal taken by counsel acts as stay of
sentence until the matter is heard by the
supreme court. This cannot be before
next April. In the meantime, the priso-
ners will remain in the county Jail. If a
new trial is granted. it cannot come up
before the summer term of the court Of
general sessions. Otherwise, the priso-
ners will be transferred to the peniten-
tiary, where their only hope of liberty
will be in their possible chance of escape
or pardon from some future governor.
