LETTER FROM HICKORY GROVE.
Everything Ouiet-After the Bridegroom
With a Razor-Other Notes.

Everything Quiet-After the Bridegroom
With Razor-Other Notes.
Correspondence OF the Yorkville Enquirer.
|. HICKORY GRovR, April 15.-Everything
has been very quiet in our city for the
week. We are having beautiful weather,
and the farmers are all as busy as can be
planting cotton. More cotton will be
planting in this section than for years, so
if the Western States have a good crop,
our folks can lookout for another crop OF
four and five cents cotton.
Mr.. B. F. Scoggins has shipped one OF
the finest loads Of cattle that have gone
from this section, in some time.
The Negroes of this section. are very in
dignant at one of their brethren for disap-
pointing them at wedding. The would
be bride was Dean Jones, and every ar
rangement had been made for the ceremo-
nv. The fatted calf had been killed, and
50 many chickens have died the death OF
the righteous, that every man was guard
ing his roost all during the twilight; but
alas the groom failed to put in an appear
ance. The brother threatens certain dis
truction to the groom if he finds him.
Mr.. Joseph Jackson is confined at his
home and is quite i'll. His recovery is
very doubtful.
We have a gentleman in these parts
who says he intends to learn every chap
ter in the Bible by heart. Go it, brother,
you have more pluck than I.
Mrs. Martha Smarr is taking the lead
in raising young chicks. She has about
$50 hatched and more coming.
Speaking of chickens and early vegeta-
bles reminds me of paradise had few
days ago. My kind hostess, Mrs. DR.. T.
B. Whitesides, escorted me through her
"early garden" and it was certainly love-
ly. Of course the word "lovely" can,
dramatically speaking, be used here
properly, for one who loves the vegetable
as 1 do can only appreciate one who
knows how to cultivate such things as

ter was not to be given to the public, says
the correspondent, until after the senator
returns from the West; but it has gotten
out and here it is. There are a large
number of Reformers who are opposed to
electing Governor Evans to the senate
lust at this time. Their reasons are sew
eral fold. In the first place, they think
that Governor Evans has already receiv-
ed high honors at the hands of his party.
Next they allege that he has been using
all his executive influence against his
competitors in the race and to do away
with the proposed primary election.
Again they are opposed to giving too
much power to one family, and lastly
they think that the governor should be
content to offer for re- -electian to the office
of governor. 1t is the custom fer each
governor to serve at least two terms and
they think that Governor Evans can easi-
" afford to remain In the gubernatorial
CudlE G"o yOoio hiOiO' ~ ~ NA'>AAA-S~
that echoes of these sentiments have been
reaching Senator Tillman's ears from
prominent Reformers who have no SYM
pathy whatever for Senator Irby, and
that there were large number Of them
in Columbia during the senator's recent
visit for the purpose of discussing the
matter. Senator Tillman, says The News
and Courier's correspondent, was much
impressed with the strength of the oppo-
sition to elevating Governor Evans just at
this time, and took the matter under
advisement, to be decided Immediately
after his return from the West. Whether
there is any foundation for the story, or
the whole thing is mere buncombe
evolved from the fertile imagination of
the correspondent is question that
those who may be in doubt had better
settle for themselves.

APPLYING FOR PENSIONS.

The York county pension board met in
the Office of Auditor Waters last Monday
morning and organized by the election of
DR.. j. r. Bratton, surgeon; Captain Ire
dell Jones, chairman; and Joseph f.
Wallace, ESQ.,, clerk.
The old soldiers and widows had begun
to gather at an early hour. They were
from all parts of the county and apparent
ly in all conditions of life. When the
board finally got down to business at 10
o'clock there were in the neighborhood OF
$50 veterans and widows on hand with ap-
plications.
To examine into all the applications
was no light task. Indeed it required
nearly the whole day until late hour in
the afternoon. During this time l5 appli-
cations were received from widows, 81
from soldiers over go years of age, and 81
from soldiers alledging disabilities that
incapaciated them from earning liveli-
hood.
There were not nearly 80 many blanks
on hand as there were applicants, how
ever, and after disposing of all the cases
that could be disposed of, the board ad-
journed until Thursday, the Both instant,
postponing action on the unfinished cases
until that date.

AS TO SHOWS.

There was confusion in the old law as
to travelling outdoor shows. The law
provided for license fee Of $500; but
there was doubt as to whether this meant
for each exhibit or each county, and also
on account of an error in codification
there was slight question as to whether,
the free was really $500 or only 800.
Again, the law specified circus" This
may be taken to mean only shows in
which there is ring, and there was a
question as to whether it included me-
nagerie exhibits and acrobatic or other
performance. At the last session of the
general assembly, however, the matter
was greatly simplified by the enactment
of the following, which was approved
on March9 g:
Section l. Be it enacted by the general
assembly of the State Of South Carolina,
That section 1853 of the general statutes,
being section 1870 of the revised statutes
of 1898, be amended 80 as to read as fol-
lows: ANY circus or other such travelling
show exhibiting under canvass or out
doors for gain shall, before exhibiting in
any county in this State, obtain license
to show from the clerk of the court Of
such county, and shall pay to the said
clerk for such license one hundred dollars
for each and every day said circus or
other show shall be exhibited; and said
clerk shall forthwith pay over to the
county treasurer of said county all the
moneys by him received on account OF
said license, to be applied to the use Of
said county.

satisfied, and they are of opinion that
Germany has all the while been suspi-
cious. The past few weeks have
some significant circum-
stances. Not long ago there was an
uprising of the Matabele Negroes in
the British territory bordering on the
Transvaal. The Matabeles began to
rob burn and murder. There have been
charges that they are melted by the
Beers. Within the past few days,
however, Great Britain has decided to
send large body of troops to South
Africa ostensibly for the purpose of
putting down the Matabeles. The
Beers are now claiming that the
Matabele uprising was instigated by
the British solely to furnish an
excuse to get troops into the country.
A few days ago a large number of
Germans landed at Delagoa. They OBJ
jected to having their baggage exam
ined. 1t was examined anyway and
there were disclosed full German
uniforms together with large supplies
of arms and ammunition. 1t appears
that these men have gone to the
Transvaal with view to offering their
services to the Beers should there be an
outbreak. Altogether, the whole situ-
alton begins to look as if some fighting
is inevitable.

Some few weeks ago writer in THE
ENQUIRER observed "that agriculture
being one of the simplest of pursuits, the
proceeds are less on account ofthe greater
competition, and for the same reason any
conspicuous success is well nigh impossi-
ble." The observation was true only in a
measure. While it is admitted that it re-
quires less brains, and less labor to make
a living by farming than by any other
pursuit, it must be remembered that this
is not all. On the first page of this issue
we print an interview with Major A. H.
White, of Rock Hill, which seems to throw
additional light on the subject. From
what Major White says, and all that he
says is based upon actual experience, it
would appear that in agriculture we find
the Ii NIT ofboth extremes of production.
Not only does this pursuit afford the most
profit for the least labor; but it appears
that for more labor and intelligence it af-
fords more profit. In other words, limit
of profit is only bounded by the limit of
human energy and intelligence. This ar
ticle, in our opinion, is one of the most
instructive that has appeared in The EN-
oU1RER on this particular subject in long
time, and we trust that it will be studied
carefully, especially by all of our agricul-
tural readers.

Another Test Case.
Arrangements have been made for a

AnOtner lest Cases
Arrangements have been made for a
friendly test of the new dispensary
law. 1t will be remembered that some
time ago Judge Simonton decided that
all individual had the right to bring
liquors into this from another State for
personal use. At the last session OF
the general assembly, the dlspensary
law was amended so as TO admit the
right guaranteed by Judge Simonton's 5
decision but at the same time provld-
ing that all liquors SO brought in must
be chemically pure and suyect to
examination by the State chemist.
This, if it holds, will defeat the effect
of the decision referred to for the
reason that the State chemist can
charge such fees for examination as
will effectually shut off all liquors by
that route. Mr.. Gibbs Whaley, OF
Columbia, ordered some liquor from
another State few days since, had it
seized by constable, and is now ask
ing Judge Simonton for an injunction
to restrain the constable from keeping
the liquor. An early decision is ex-
pected.

We give in this issue a very lengthy
report of the discussion of the road ques-
ton before and by the board of county
commissioners last Monday. The report
of the proceedings is not verbatim; but il
is correct as far as it goes. 1t includes all
that was said and done of any real impor-
tance, and in the proceedings will be
found much food for thought. That the
board has done the right thing in leasing
out the convicts on the basis stated, we
are hardly prepared to say. Notwith-
standing the fact that the proposition
appears liberal enough on it's face, there
is about it certain inequitable element
which we think will become apparent to
the judicially inclined reader at glance.
While it is true that good roads in any
section of the country are an indirect
benefit to the whole county, it does not
follow that because any particular section
is willing to put up a specified sum for
the improvement of its own particular
roads it should have a claim to all the
available funds that have been contribu-
ted by all the other various sections that
are only indirectly interested. However,
we hope that good will grow out of the
action Of the board. and that it will tend
to stimulate in all parts of the county a
keener appreciation of the wonderful
importance of good roads. The individ-
ual who defines the action of the people
who have rendered subscriptions through
DIR. Crawford as liberality, are making a
serious mistake. It is business sagacity
of the highest and most selfish order.
They are convinced that they are making
the best investment of their lives-an
investment that is calculated to yield
larger direct returns-and the sooner the
people of the other sections of the county
realize this fact the better for all concern
ed.

YORKVILLE, s. @. /:
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 22, 1895.

- In the letter of Mr.. James r. Magill,
which we reprinted from the Lancaster
Enterprise ON Saturday, it is stated, in re-
ply to recent inquiry in The News and
Courier, asking for reports of unusually
large cotton crops grown in South Caro-
lima, that 1900 pounds of seed cotton was
grown by DR.. r. D. Wylie on one acre
lot in Lancaster about the year 1850. Is
this the largest crop ever grown in this
State? We do not think it is. Further re-
ports are in order.-News and Courier.
Monday.
For an answer to its question, we beg
leaf to refer our esteemed contemporary
to the article on the first page of this issue
of The ENQUIRER. Major White, it seems
raised % bales weighing 400 pounds each.
on IL acres. This is an average of not less
than 2, $50 pounds ofseed cotton to the acre.
Some acres must have yielded less and
some more, and it is not unreasonable to
assume that some went far above 1900
pounds of seed cotton. At any rate, ofthe
two crops, that of Major White is easily
the more remarkable.

Rock HILL, April 20th.-Last Friday
night Rev. A. D. Mayo lectured to the
public in the auditorium of Winthrop col
lege His subject was "How Does Univer-
sal Education Pay" and showed conclu-
sively that it did pay. DIR. Mayo is ac-
customed to public speaking; he has q
good voice, full and clear, and he is full of
his subject. He spoke particularly about
the industrial facture of the system of ed
ucation of today. He has seen and heard
one woman whose subject was, "What
Can Be Done With One Chicken" She
had her subject thoroughly under control,
and showed to perfection what skill and
willing mind could do. She was wealthy
and her fad was to teach those less culti-
waited what they might do. How much
better this than spend time, money and
energy improving the breed Of pug dogs
and fondling them. AS its subject would
indicate, the whole lecture was practical

The Washington correspondent of

say the least, rather interesting. 1t is in
reference to the visit of Senator Tillman
to Columbia on the occasion of the recent
