WIDE TIRES FOR WAGONS.

Mr.. Wade II. Hicklin of Guthriesville,
is nothing if not progressive. One Of his
latest moves in the direction of progress
is wide-tired wagon. Not long ago be
purchased vehicle of the Old Hickory
make that has tires four inches in width.
A reporter for THE ENQUIRER saw the
wagon few days ago. Mr.. Hicklin
called his special attention to it. 1t is
an odd looking concern and appears
rather clumsy and heavy to pull; but
Mr.. Hicklin says not.
"I bought that wagon in the interest of
good roads," he said, land when it first
came here I thought would have to use
three mules-one to pull the wagon and
the others to pull the load; but l find l
was mistaken. The wagon runs easier
than narrow tired vehicle of the same
size.
"Not long ago, while hauling manure
across some soft meadows, 1 used this
wagon along with one with ordinary
tires. This wagon was loaded heavily.
The bed of the other, however, was not
so good and the load was considerably
less. I noticed that the wheels Of the
narrow tired wagon sunk down in the
earth something like six inches or more,
and it was all the mules could do to got
along. The wide tires did not 60 down

The New York World processes to be-
lieve that Mckinley is going to be elected
by close shave but it is not bluffy. 1t
would like to think, ir common with a
great many others, that the defeat OF
Bryan would mean the end of the free
silver agitation; but in view of big lot
of very clear information it has as to the
subject, it is unable to think so. Here
is the way it diagnoses the situation, and
it is more than half right: Suppose Mr..
Mckinley gets only enough states to just
elect him, and those states all in one Sec
ton of the country what will be the net
result of the election? The silver heresy
will have carry 10 or - more states than
did Mr.. Harrison in 1892. 1t will con-
tinue its absolute control of the senate.
1t will control the machine of a national
political party. 1t will be entrenched as
never before. twill organize immediate
ly for the congressional election two years
hence and for the presidency two years
after that"

WAIVED PRELIMINARY.

Magistrate w. D. Camp of Cherokee
township, was before Magistrate Sandifer
of York township, on Monday, charged
with violation of the statute which for
bids the performance of the marriage
ceremony in cases where one Of the
would-be contracting parties has more
than one-eighth Negro blood in his or
her veins. The case in which Colonel
Camp is alleged to have violated the stat
ute was in the marriage of L. L. Rives
and Mary Byers. Colonel Cad Rives of
Chester, is the prosecutor. He makes
affidavit that the Mary Byers referred to
has more than one-eighth Negro blood in
her veins, and that Colonel Camp was
aware of the fact at the time the marriage
ceremony was performed in September
last. Colonel Camp waived a prelimi-
nary examination and gave bond for his
appearance at the next term of the court
of general sessions. He thinks that he
will have no trouble in establishing the
fact that the woman has no Negro blood
in her veins. Not only this, he is sure
that at the time the marriage ceremony
was performed, he had no suspicion even
that anything of the kind had ever been
charged.

DECEMBER WEATHE Err.

A western paper contains the following
ing prediction as to December weather by
Rev. Ira R. Hicks:
If you want a long-range prediction,
one that you can make note OF, to he
filed away for future reference, will give
you one. The month of December will
be one of the most severe that we have
experienced in years. 1t is not likely
that the storms will be dangerous, because
they do not come at the period of the
year when dangerous storms are to be ex-
pected. But you will get all the old fash
ioned billiards. you want during the last
part of that month. Things will grow
interesting about the 18th of the month,
and will continue until December 30th.
We will have good sprinkling of bad
weather before that, for the winter will
begin early and will be cold one, but the
center of the worst period begins Decem-
ber 10. During this time, the influence
of Mars will be added to others, produc-
h ing a commotion in the earth's atmosphere
which will be felt by all the inhabitants.
Our Chester prophet has long since
proved his ability to predict future wealth
er as correctly as any of them, and we be-
lieve that many Of our readers would be
glad to have him review the above and
tell wherein he agrees and disagrees.
What say you prophet?

erroneous instance OF the mention OF my
name, as Mr.. Chambers mentioned draw
ing up an instrument of writing for all to
sign, and he will bear me out that
agreed to sign it, or I proposed that each
candidate stand on his word to abide
the result.
Mr.. Moorhead says that I was actively
at work. which claim was my province.
He also says where there was one man
working for him, there were ten working
for Mr.. Leech. Now I think this
high compliment to me, or very low
one to Mr.. Moorhead, as 10 to is great
odds, and just here Mr.. Moorhead says
the box was stuffed in the first primary,
which I presume is correct; and IL does
seem that it would have been folly for me
or my friends to stuff the box when had
the odds against him Of 10 to l.. Further
more, one of the managers told me that
very near all of the ballots that were ex-
tracted to make the ballots and poll list
tally, were my ballots, and still left me
majority. Mr.. Moorhead says again that
the only time he was about the polls was
to vote, and I am sure he was 10 the count
ing room and assisted in keeping the
tally. Now Mr.. Moorehead says that the
box was stuffed again, and he speaks out
and casts some reflections upon the man
ayers, when he says he doesn't know who
got the most votes, either he or myself.
For my part, would be very loath to re-
fleet upon the managers, who are all gen.
tlement of indisputable integrity and
fidelity and unimpeachable veracity and
had full control of the box from the open
ing to the close, and also the counting and
also had taken solemn oath, and they
say that got very nearly two-thirds ma
jority in the second primary. More bad
taste.
IfMr. Moorhead had rested on the re-
suit of the first primary on his own good
Judgment and stood upon rocky foun-
dation, there wouldn't have been any
need Of this personal explanation, as the
outside world would not have known but
what very nearly half the voters wanted
him for magistrate. But, instead. he al
lowed himself to be dragged into SEC
ond primary by his so-called friends and
against his desire, and then in the hour
of need, some of his so-called friends
deserted him because he had been guilty
of bad faith, and others refused to vote
| for him because he didn't want the Office.

Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1896-10-07
MR.. LEECH IN REPLY.
editor Of The Yorkville Enquirer:

Editor OF The YOrkville Enquirer:
This being my first card written for
publication, beg you to allow me space
in your columns for few remarks and
not cast it overheard into the waste bas-
ket. noticed some weeks since in your
columns, very short paragraph merely
announcing that G. G. Leech had been
recommended for magistrate over w. j.
Moorhead. Shortly afterward there ap-
peared card in your columns over the
signature of w. ]. Moorhead, desiring to
make few remarks of personal explana-
ton. In his card my name was frequent
ly and, in some instances, enormously
used, and I feel that it would exhibit
bad taste on my part if should fail to
respond in self defence. In the first
place, Mr.. Moorhead says he was, in nc
sense of the word, a candidate; yet ne
run in both first and SO cond primaries
for recommendation for magistrate. Bad
taste! He says again, at the outset OF
the campaign, w. H. White asked him II
he was willing to run the race on the
plurality plan. He told him he was will
ling if the rest of the candidates were.
Mr.. Moorhe cad further says the matter
was talk ed Of in my presence; but 1
would not signify my willingness. This
is one of the erroneous instances OF the
mention of my name, and I say more bad
taste, for most emphatically deny refus-
ing to agree to the plurality plan, and
refer anyone to w. H. White and j. c.
Cham bers-two candidates for the same
office-as to whether or not I agreed TO
the plurality plan; and also, think,
some of the managers will bear me up in
it, as it was talked in their presence.
Mr.. Moorhead further says that the
matter was never so much as mentioned
to Mr.. John Ramsey, who was also
candidate. Iagree that didn't mention
the matter either to Mr.. Ramsey or MIR.
Moorhead, simply because w. H. White
told me, on the morning Of the election,
that all the candidates, except myself
and Mr.. Chambers, had agreed to the
plurality plan, and then and there ex-
pressed my willingness to w. H. White
and so soon as Mr.. Chambers arrived, l
went directly to him and he also agreed;
but Mr.. Ramsey was still not on the
ground and didn't arrive for sometime.
Again Mr.. Moorhead says that after the
first election it was claimed that he had
agreed to the plurality plan, and some OF
his friends were induced to vote against
him on the ground that he had been
guilty of bad faith and this after Mr..
Leech had refused to count himself as
bel ng bound in any way by the result Of
the election. More bad taste and another

THE TwICE-A-WEEK ENQUIRER will
be furnished from this date tn January
1st, 1887, for 48 cents.
That saIesday Crowd.
AS was expected, there was a large
crowd of people in town on Monday
Compared with the previous salesday
however. it was quite orderly.
Machinery Coming In.
A portion of the big 300 horse power
engine that is to drive the machinery OF
the York Cotton mills is now at the
o. R. & G. depot.
Able to Be Out Again.
The Kershaw Era says that Mr.. Robert
Truesdell, the man who was shot in the
leg while returning from the recent ex-
cursion to Camden, is able to be out on
the street again.
Heretofore Unrecorded.
Mr.. John w. Lilly of Ebenezer, lost
his barn and contents by fire about two
weeks ago. The loss included some 5000
bundles of fodder, about so bushels of
corn, and lot Of peavine hay. The fire
is supposed to have had its origin in spon-
taneous combustion, due to overheating
of the peavines. Since the fire Mr.. Lii
ly's neighbors and friends have rebuilt
his barn and made good considerable
Dor ton of the balance of the loss.
Getting Better.
DIR. VIM. M. Walker, who submitted to
surgical operation recently for appen-
dicitis, continues to improve. Though at
no time did he seem to be greatly de-
pressed, he is now unusually bright and
cheerful, and his physicians, Drs. Miles
and George Walker, now consider him
practically out of danger. There is no
doubt about the fact, however, that the
old doctor has had a close call.
And They Are Welcome.
Messrs. Evans & Moxon have been in
vestigating the idea of setting up plan
ing mill and general carpenter shop in
Yorkville and have almost come to the
conclusion that this is the very place for
such an enterprise. 1t is to be hoped that
they will not allow the project to fall
through. Yorkville needs the enterpris-
es mentioned, and will be glad to have
lust such men as Messrs. Evans 81 Moxon
i'm charge of them. Both gentlemen have
had experience in the planning mill busi-
ness and know all about it.
Sad Bereavement.
Mr.. and Mrs. F. A. Gossman have the
sympathy of the community on account
of the death, this morning, of their infant
daughter, Minnie Lee, from erysipelas.
The death was quite sudden. In the
opinion of two physicians, on Monday
night the condition of the little sufferer
was not especially serious. Shortly after
ward, however, the deceased began to
grow rapidly worse, and in few hours
the child breathed its last in its fathers
arms. The funeral takes place this
(Tuesday) afternoon at 4 o'clock from the
Met hodist church.
The Campaign of Prayer.
Pursuant to the recommendation of the
Presbyterian general assembly, the sea-
son of prayer, announced for the first
week in October, was opened in the Pres
byterian church at Yorkvile last Monday
night. Services were conducted by Rev.
w. G. Neville, DIR. ]. H. Thornwell and
Rev. Alexander Sprunt. There was a
large congregation in attendance, and all
