THOSE GEESE.

In his latter of January 30, our Blacks
burg correspondent wrote the following
"On Friday last flock of wild geese were
seen flying over this place in northwest
ernly direction. Such a course for such
wise birds to take SO early in winter, is, of
course, surprise to most observers of the
signs of the seasons;' but it may be that
some of our weather prophets, he OF
Chester, for instance, may explain the
phenomenon" The question was an in
teresting one, and special letter was sent
to the Chester prophet for an answer. The
reply came to hand yesterday, and from it,
it would appear that the prophet is rather
hard to head. Here is what he says:
AS to the question of our Black sburg
friend about the flight of wild geese to the
northwest, all depends on where the geese
came from. The correspondent seems to
think that the geese have some sort of
connection with the weather, etc. He
failed, however, to state how many geese
there were, whether flying high or low,
and whether early in the day or late, all
of which circumstances would affect the
case most materially. Probably the flock
passed over about sunrise, and that was
the reason he could not tell the number.
But suppose there were II at first, and
for some cause five left the main drove or
flock. Later on, one left the five and
joined the larger flock. Then they di-

Some of the editors are indulging in
very silly talk to the effect that Tillman
should be ignored by the newspapers, and
in this manner effectually squelched. 1t
is noticeable, however, that even these edi-
tors published full reports of all that was
said by the senator, as well as much that is
being said about him, and this fact of itself
proves the absurdity Of their suggestion.
If the existing newspapers should so far
depart from their legitimate mission as to
attempt such a policy, they would be
speedily brushed aside by the public and
supplanted by others that would give the
news. But the silly talk is based on
false premises. While it is true that the
newspapers, in sense, are "moulders OF
public opinion" this mighty work is not
done through the editorial columns, as
thousands Of editors fondly imagine. 1t
is the news columns-the facts-from
which the public gets its settled impress
sions. Then let the papers that seem SO
much disturbed about Senator Tillman
rest more at ease. If they will just give the
news-the facts-nobody will question
their right to say what they please, and

GONE To HIS REWARD.
Death of Faithful Old Negro at Hickory
Grove-Aged 85 Years.

Death of a Faithful Old Negro at dickory
Grove-Aged 85 Years.
For the Yorkville Enquirer.
An old colored man died in our town,
ami as no reporter has noted the fact, l
shall give few points concerning him.
The subject of these remarks was
Tony Flenniken. He was IS years old ;
born in Abbeville county, on Long Cane
creek was slave of one of the Presslys ;
Joined the church at Hopewell "a. R. P.) ;
was baptized by Rev. James Boyce, d. d.;
moved to this county after the war and
was for many years member of Smyrna
congregation. At the time ofhis death he
was a member of Ebenezer, church of
his own color. Not many are left like
him. Faithful, honest, obliging and a
truly pious man. His old mistress, Mrs.
Jane Torbit, now of Winnsboro, S. c.,
thus writes of him "Tony is the last of
the Pressly slaves. He was always honest.
never knew him to be called to account
for anything that was entrusted to his
care" He has left good record in our
town and community. May many of his
race try to follow in his footsteps. We all
miss Uncle Tony as we called him. He
died in faith. JOHN L. hNoX.

- To the New York World belongs most
of the credit for making Messrs. Cleve-
land and Carlisle give the public chance
at the recent bond issue rather than sell
the whole amount to the Morgan syndi-
cate in lump; and The World has not
been the loser in the game. To show its
faith, it offered to take one million dollars
worth of the bonds at LA. 1t turns out
that this is considerably more than the
highest price offered; but the bonds are
already worth great deal more than that
on the market, and The World has made
many thousands by the deal. The bid Of
the Morgan syndicate was much higher
than was originally intended, and the
popular loan plan has saved the country
at least S5,OO0,OOO.

100000, the whole amount, and an
other of s16,000,000. The Morgan
syndicate offered to take the whole
amount at 11O. 1887. There were only
about $40, 600, 900 over that figure, and
the outlook is that Morgan will get not
less s6O,OOO,00O. The biggest price
offered was by Joseph Pulitzer, of the
New York World. He bid ia for
81, 100000. In the nature of the case,
nothing below the bid of the Morgan
syndicate can be accepted. There
were many bids for as small amounts
as $50.
- The senatorial fight in Kentucky
continues. The candidates are Black
burn, Democrat, and Hunter, Repuli-
can. The Democrats and Republicans
are equally divided but among the
Democrats all is not harmony. There
are five gold standard men, who insist
on voting for Carlisle, Bate, McCreery,
and other gold standard advocates.
The Republicans are solid; but they
are unable to muster the number OF
votes that is necessary to choice. The
Republican majority in the house has
threatened to unseat enough Democrats
to ensure the election of senator ;
but the Democrats threrten to retaliate
by unseating a Republican senator for
every Democratic representative un-
seated. 1t was feared on Wednesday
that there would be some rioting; but
the day passed off without special in.
cident. What the final outcome will
be cannot be safely predicted.

OUT OF HIS SCRAPE.

Chief Of Police Love returned to York
vile from Greenville yesterday in the bes
humor Imaginable, and when he inform
ed his friends as to how nicely he man
ragged to get out of his little trouble with
the government, they too participated ir
his pleasure.
The full story of Mr.. Loves trouble ha:
already been published in THE ENoU1'
RER. 1t will be remembered that acting
under the representations made to him BY
State dispensary authorities, he was in.
duced to break into government ware
house not long ago, and for that act he
was bound over to answer at the United
States district court.
The law in regard to matters Of this
kind, does not contemplate possibility
of innocent mistakes, and the prescribed
penalties are very severe-not less than 6
years imprisonment, and $500 fine, we
believe. Under the circumstances, Mr.
Loves friends were quite serious ovel
the matter. There was no attempt tc
deny anything, and if the case should &c
to trial, conviction was certain. Then the
only hope seemed to be suspension OF
sentence, should the judge feel so inclin'
ed and a subsequent pardon.
The case was worked somewhat differ.
emily, however. Mr.. Love was acconpa.
MED to Greenville by Intendant Moore
and Mr.. J. E. Lowry, Of the town council
They also had strong petition and state
ment signed by the various county off,
cials and members Of the bar, and in
addition to this, the whole case had
previously been laid before the district
attorney, just as it was, and without any
attempt at coloring.
The grand jury returned true bill, and
so soon as the district attorney reached the
case, he moved to mol pros. That settled
the whole matter and put Mr.. Love in the
good humor that he brought to Yorkville
and impaired to his numerous friends.
From start to finish, Mr.. Loves side OF
the case was in the hands of Senator Fin
ley, and it is largely to that gentleman's
very judicious manag cement that the mat
ter was settled without friction. The only
especial damage that has resulted to Mr..
Love, has been the worry and annoyance,
together with considerable expense that
is properly not his to bear.

The fight in the case Of the railroad
commissioners and the railroads about the
freight rates on fertilizers has been decided
by the court in favor of the commissioners,
and now the farmers will get their fertili-
zers at better rates on the railroads.
Freight rates have always been discourag-
ing to the farmers, and Hon. w. D.
Evans deserves the thanks of the farmers
for his plucky stand.-Marlboro Demo-
crat.
We are afraid that The Democrat does
not fully understand the true inwardness
in this matter, or else it would not seek to
divert all the credit to Mr.. Evans. THE
ENQUIRER knows something that sounds
like another story. When the question of
reducing the rates on the fertilizers was
first agitated, Messrs, Evans and Thomas
were both rather inclined to listen to pro-
testations of the railroads to the effect that
"they could not do it," When the matter
first came to vote, Wilburn was the only
man to insist on reduction, or, at least, a
readjustment. There was some hot talk
and little swearing; but Wilburn re-
manned firm, and the others finally came
over to his way of thinking. 1t is to him
more than anybody else that the credit,
if there is any, is due. We did not get this
information from Mr.. Wilborn either
directly or indirectly; but it came in such
a way that we have every reason to believe
that it is correct.

AGED EIGHTY YEARS.

Rock Hill Herald: To the three score
years and ten allotted to man, another
decade has been added in the life of
Colonel Allison, of Tirzah. The S0th
mile stone in his long and eventful life
was passed on the 2sth of last month,
and the occasion was celebrated BETTING
" at his home. There were gathered
around him sons, l6 grandchildren and
great -grandchild, the only absent MEM
Der of his family being his son, Parks
Allison, of Kings Mountain. A few
friends and his pastor, Rev. j. M. Nc
Claim, were also invited.
1t is seldom that two such noteworthy
anniversaries occur in one year but, with
the permission of Providence, Colonel
and Mrs. Allison will, on the 10th OF
next October, celebrate their 5Oth anniver
sary-their golden wedding. Another
remarkable fact in connection with the
life of the venerable octogenarian is that
he has been an elder in Allison Creek
church for 42 years, nearly half century.
Colonel Allison has been receiving the
congratulations of hosts of friends all
over the county.

FEBRUARY WEATHER.

Our Chester weather prophet has been
having sickness inehis family lately, and
on this account his forecast for February
has been delayed. The letter enclosing it,
was dated January 25; but it did not reach
us until last Monday. Notwithstanding
the delay, however, it is still more or less
interesting. It is as follows;
From TO 5, cool and cloudy; from 6 to
8 windy and. wet, and probably rain
storm on the 9th from 10 to IA, there will
be rain, and it will probably be very cold ;
from Is to IS the wind will be from the
northeast and the weather will be damp
and disagreeable from 10 to 81 stormy
and unsettled from p to "a, clear, cold
and windy; from 25 to %, north and
northeast wind, cold rain, sleet and snow.

THE CHAIN GANG.

The best and most satisfactory dispo-
sition of the chain gang is problem
that is not only worrying the county
board of commissioners but also great
many people in different sections of the
county; but to all appearances, it is still
a long way from solution.
Some time ago. the advisability OF
constructing first-class macadam road
across the county from Rock Hill to
Blacksburg, by way Of Yorkville, was
suggested. The idea, Of course, meets
with the approval Of majority OF the
people directly interested; but does not
receive the serious consideration Of the
board for various reasons; among others,
probably because it would not be exactly
fair to a large number Of the people OF
the county who would receive no direct
benefit.
The question was discussed at the last
meeting of the board but only generally.
There was an apparent realization OF the
big expense involved but there was
noticeable absence of any decided opin-
ion as to what is the best plan to pursue.
Supervisor Stephenson's suggestion to
locate the stockade west of Yorkville and
work the adjacent roads, each for
distance of two miles, was accepted as
a rather uncertain solution Of the puzzle,
and when Messrs. White and Miller
suggested possible propositions from
incorporated towns, there was no OBJ
lection to leaving the matter open to
such contingency.
The plan suggested by our Forest Hill
correspondent, though open to objection,
strikes us as being as good as any yet pro-
posed. 1t is at least fair. 1t proposes to
work the convicts month about in each
township, giving especial attention to the
worst places in the various roads, leaving
the lighter work to the regular hands.
BY this plan, the convicts can take in the
whole county once year, and at least
give equal benefit to all sections. 1t is
true that their work will not make much
show anywhere; but, at the same time, it
will leave but little ground for grumbling.
But the matter will no doubt be discuss
ed at length during the summer. Judging
from the interest that has already been
developed, it is safe to presume that the
various candidates for supervisor will be
called upon to tell what they know about
roads, and suggest plans for the manage
ment of the chain gang. Next year there
will be more money available for road
working than there has been this
year, and with the experience that has
been acquired this year, it is probable
that next year the work will be pushed
with we'll defined policy that has hereto
fore been impossible.

= The Congressional Record is a dry

The Congressional Record is dry,
musty publication which, as rule, is but
little appreciated by the reading public ;
but it's circulation was certainly on boom
last Thursday. The cause of the increased
demand was Senator Tillman's speech.
People were more anxious to see The
Record than any of the morning papers,
and the sales at the news stands were some
thing enormous. Prices went up to many
times the usual amount charged, and by
noon there was scarcely copy to be had
for love or money.

gressed to the west. Also, the correspon-
dent failed to state whether the flock was
a V shape or in horizontal line. KDowl-
edge of these things is very necessary in
determining whether the geese are to be
followed by any special kind of weather,
or whether they are just trying to get out
of the way Of shot guns and long range
rifles.
If the flock was in V shape, and flying
high, according to the old sign, we must
look out for thunder storms on the South
snow in the Piedmont and mountain
sections; hurricanes on the gulf, and
billiards. in the Northwest, all somewhere
in the next 80 days following. If they
were flying low, in straight.line, or in a
tangle, they were either trying to get out
the way ofshot guns or rifles, or were hunt
ing better wheat and oats, with no thought
of the weather, either then or for some
days to come.
