- No fairminded man will deny that in
succeeding in refunding the State debt at
4. per cent. interest, Senator Tillman is
entitled to great credit. He was opposed
in his efforts by powerful combination
of politicians and capitalists in South
Carolina. The capitalists hoped he would
fail, for it meant to them the difference
between 4! and 6 per cent. bonds. The
politicians wanted him to fail because it
could he used as an evidence of incompe-
tency. If we remember correctly, with
the exception of the Columbia Register,
the Greenville News was the only daily
paper in the State that helped to hold up
Senator Tillman's hands in the matter.
Senator Tillman, however, succeeded,
and in his success he saved for the State
many times the amount of the commits
sion that was paid. But while we make
these assertions as facts, we do not con-
slider that they have any bearing what
ever upon the pending question. The
charges against Senator Tillman and
Governor Evans, though not necessarily
true. sound plausible. Therefore, those
who may happen to believe the charges
and insinuations that have been made are
not going to be satisfied with mere
denial. The thing is in such shape that
it can be effectually settled only by a
clear and convincing explanation of
every doubtful or muddled detail.

county veteran who. was a soldier in the
Army of Northern Virginia.
Editor of The Dispatch. I notice you
have suggested that those veterans who
still possess the uniforms which they
wore in tbs war should appear in them in
the parade of July I'd. I heartily ap-
prove Of your suggestion. I have an in
fantry and cavalry jacket (Crenshaw
Gray), and both are in fair condition; but
can't get In or out without assistance.
They are too small. I have no, doubt
many old veterans are in the same con-
dition.
hope to be at the reunion, and will
take the jackets with me, and will gladly
loan them to veterans who will be able
to wear them on the parade. If all the
old veterans will do likewise, you will
see 500 or more men in "war clothes'' In
the parade.

Our Chester weather prophets prognos-
ticatfon for, july was received last Satur-
day. Up to this month the prophet had
a pretty good reputation but during June
be missed it badly. He misinterpret-
ed the ''signs,' no doubt. Here is what
he has to say for July:
From to 4, warm and unsettled, with
rain on the 18th. From 5 to changeable
and windy with thunder showers about in
various localities. From 8 to II cooler,
with appearances of rain. From IL to Is,

AT great tax on our space, we repro
duce the statements of Senator Till. IAN
and Treasurer Bates on the bond matter.
The explanations are all right as far as
they 60. They fail to touch upon the
point in which the public is most directly
concerned. In his letter to the New
York Times, the Baltimore correspon-
dent said:
"When the time came for division Of
the bonus of $4,000, the New York man
took $4,000 and the Richmond man took
$1,000, for special services and expenses.
Mr.. Rhind got $4s,5O0, and Major Gary
81 900. A peculiar and perhaps significant
circumstance is that Mr.. Rhind took his
$4S,5OO not in one draft on the Baltimore
Trust company; but in three separate
drafts, all payable the same day-one for
$4,000, one for $1,000 and one for SD, ,5OO."
Now then, if the entire $4S,5OO was to
60 to Mr.. Rhind, why should he want
the same party to give three checks
against it on the same day, and if two of.
the checks were for other parties, who
are those parties and what claim did they
have upon the money. Until these ques-
tions are answered satisfactorily the bond
investigation cannot be closed.

EARLE Is In 1T.
After All, the Campaign Will Not He Devoid
Of Interest.

After All, the Campaign Will Not BE Devoid
Of Interest.
Until yesterday morning, it looked like,
the senatorial race was going to be between
Governor Evans and John T. Duncan, a
Estate house clerk" The story in the pa
pers yesterday was that Earle had sent his
pledge to Manning to be filed but after
ward withdrew it. 1t seems, however
that there has been mistake, as is shown
by the following telegram, received by
THE ENQUIRER yesterday afternoon at
l.30 o'clock: -.
COLUMBIA, June 23.-Judge ]. d. Earle's
pledge for the United States senate has
been officially filed and accepted. A tele-
gram had been sent to Chairman Tomp-
kins at Columbia notifying him of the
filing of the pledge; but, for some reason,
the telegram was not delivered. The
matter is now all straight and Judge
Earle is in the field.

IN TOUCH WITH THE WORLD:

Yorkville has long had the reputation
of being the hardest town to get to or
from in the State. The trouble has been
with the railroad schedules. No matter
which way the traveller starts-north,
south, east or west-at distance of 15 or
20 miles from town, he Is held up from b
to II hours, or such matter, and has to
commence paying hotel bills almost be-
fore he gets out Of hearing OF his home.
Coming here is the same way. From the
north, south, east or west, after having
made hundreds of miles in day, it Is
necessary to stop over all night within a
short distance of home and lose as much
time waiting almost as was necessary in
the accomplishment Of the actual journey.
But now all this Is to be changed. The
railroad people have sent out circular
in which they announce their intention
to do better. The circular, which is sign
ed by Receiver Harper, reads as follows:
1--WE have always appreciated the claims
of our YOrkville friends with reference to
a change of schedules which would meet
the requirements for Southern travel, and
we have, of late, given every considera-
ton to the subject. Although aware that
such extra service will entail loss, as far
rs receipts from the extra will compare
with the cost of operating the same, yet
we have decided to put ON our blowing
Rock Special" taking effect June 18th, in
slant. This special will only consist of
baggage or combination car and parlor
car. It Is to be run upon through sched-
ule, leaving Chester about IA p. M,
stopping only at junction points, reaching
Lenoir about midnight. Returning south,
will pass Yorkville about 7.3O q. m. This,
in addition to our present service. This
will enable passengers to visit Chester or
Columbia and return the same day. It's
hoped that our friends will appreciate this
effort upon our part TO accommodate our
patrons to the extent of aiding US in main
tanning this extra service"
1.-THE ENQUIRER is allowed to make
an observation, it will say that this ar
rangement is all that can be desired ex-
cept in one particular. There are, OF
course, good reasons for through sched-
ule, stopping only atjunction points. The
principle reason, it is presumed, is speed.
Among those, however, who can be as
greatly convenienced by this extra, are
those who live at non-junction points.
They would be greatly pleased to have the
privilege of going to Yorkville, Chester,
etc., and returning the same day. 1t is
very likely that schedule which would
admit ofa stop at each station whether
there were passengers to take on or put
off, would, of course, be impracticable;
but to allow the train to be tagged for
the purpose of taking on passengers, and
to allow passengers to get off wherever
they see fit, would not occasion any ma
terial loss of time. However, there can
be no doubt that the people who are to be
benefited will greatly appreciate this en-
effort on the part OF Receiver
Harper, and there is reason to believe that
if other stations are given a show also,
the new special will be more popular and
pay better than the regular passenger
train.

ROCK HILL HAPPENINGS.

On Big FroIic-Winthrop Exercises-InVf-

Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
Rock HILL, June 2.-If place-an
entire city-and more especially one like
Rock Hill, could be said to be on frolic,
we should say that such had been the
case. The entire population seemed to
have put everything else in the back
ground and to have thought only of COM
mence ment. The occasion was one
which could be greatly enjoyed. From
first to last the programme was one OF
great, merit, and those taking part therein
conducted themselves as if they had long

There were few details that attracted
for themselves more attention than some
ofthe others. One of these. was sThe
Studies in Expression" on Tuesday
night. Fifteen young ladies were on the
stage for nearly three quarters ofan hour
By posture, fall and gesture they persona
fed the feelings and emotion named.
These embraced attention, despair, anger,
couuetry, with dozen more. Then the
young lad les gave series of tableaux
representing classic scenes. The cos
TUNES were pure white. Classic robes
they we're called-held by large white
cords instead of belts. The strength and
endurance displayed spoke volumes for
the physical culture course taken in the
year. The stage is peculiarly well fitted.
for such scenes. By means of the cleo
trio lights, the stage, or any part of 1t,
can be lighted or darkened in an instant,
while strip of red cloth over the foot
lights, threw over the performers that
beautiful pink glow so valued by those
who desire to make an impression.
Another special feature Of the week was
the chorus of young ladies-forty-five in
number. These sang on several occa-
sions and never without winning great
applause for themselves and their in
structor, Prof. Brown.
The Rock Hill orchestra also favored
the public with several appearances.
These gentlemen are not young ladies
of the college," but they are musicians
of ability and experience and their per-
formance gave great pleasure.
Another, and prominent and amusing
sight, was to see the commingling of the
young ladies and gentlemen at the re-
ceptions. These young men, many OF
them from distance, with the down OF
youth on their cheeks, seemed imbued
with the idea that Providence had created
some one for his helpmeet that she was
there, and that if he did not hustle"
someone else would bring all the schemes
of Providence to naught. For result,
he "hustled." They seemed to enjoy it.
The authorities of the institution are to be

and Hobart Will Dance on a Gold

The National Republican conven-

though all the more important results

still there happened a number of
interesting incidents which should not

possible. That they will demand trial
next week is reasonably certain but as to
whether they will get it is another ques-
ton. The solicitor has not had the oppor-
tunity to work on the case with as much
confidence that it would come trial, as the
attorneys for the defense, and If he moves
for continuance, his act will hardly be
surprising. However, there isnever any
telling what Solicitor Henry is going
