UNDER THE WILLOWS.

Here used to sit and listen to the patter
of her feet.
For the tiny hands to pound upon the
door;
But the icy hand of death has touched
the forehead of my sweet
And the baby voice is hushed forever
more.
Angels keep my baby,
Where the willows wave;
Where with each recurring spring
Feathered warblers come and sing,
When the violets are blooming Ger her
grave.
To little western woodland now my
memory sadly turns,
Where the summer wild rose scents the
silent gloom. a
Where busy little brook is singing soft
~ in the ferns,
And the willow bows are bending Ger
her tomb.
Angels keep my baby,
Where the willows wave;
Where the low winds sob and sigh,
When the summer roses die
And the autumn leaves are falling on
her grave.
Only now slept and dreamed I was
Eneel:ng there ton.ght,
Where my little one is sleeping on the
hill
Even now, when I'm awake, and the
tears fall as I write,
can seem TO near the music of the rill.
Angels keep my baby.
Where the Willows wave,
Where the winds blow. bleak and drear
When the silent woodland scar.

FALSE RUMOR.

A rumor was current on the streets OF
Yorkville yesterday to the effect that there
were two cases of small pox in Gastonia
that had been brought from Atlanta. THE
ENQUIRER has investigated the matter by
telegraph, with the following result:
"A citizen of this vicinity left some time
ago on visit to the West. Shortly after
his return, a strange eruption broke out
all over his body, and the story got out
that he was stricken with small pox. 1t
has developed, however, that the story
was a mistake. I am unable to report
what has caused the eruption; but that it
is not small pox has been settled"
The same rumor that placed the two
cases of small pox in Gastonia, had DIR.
Patrick, of Begonia, N. c., afflicted with
the disease. From what Investigations
we have been enabled to make, we feel
warranted in saying that there is no more
foundation for this than for the other part
of the story.

- There is no longer any doubt of the
fact that the senate is very bitterly oppos-
ed to private bond deals by the president.
All of last Saturday was consumed in the
discussion of the matter. The question
came up on resolution introduced by
Senator Elkins declaring it to be the
sense of the senate that there should be
no more bond sales except after due and
proper notice by advertisement. An ef-
fort was made to have the resolution re-
ferred to the finance committee; but it
failed by a vote 4S to 6. There was good
deal of hot talk during the session. Sem
ator Teller declared that the administra-
ton was either incompetent or dishonest.
Senator Butler, of North Carolina, want
ed vote on the resolution at once. He
declared that there was no use for delay |;
that the senators knew as well then
how they intended to vote, as they would
know year from now. 1t was clear
that if vote should be taken, the resolu-
ton would be adopted, and Hill, Brice,
Murphy and Smith did all they could
to prevent the vote. They finally secured
an adjournment until Tuesday by ma
jority of only one vote.

TAX COLLECTIONS.

Treasurer Neely has gotten over the
rush of collecting taxes, put his books in
order, and is still in his office. But he is
not trying to do much work for several
days. The strain he has just passed
through would, in the case Of many a
business man, have produced complete
co lapse, and in his case it has been a
severe trial. During few of the last
days, with the assistance of Mr.. 1. B.
Gordon, he issued between 400 and 500
receipts a day, and in addition to that,
worked until IL, and o'clock at night
on his mail. And it is no wonder that he
is tired.
The tax collections this year have been
rather closer up than usual. The total book
called for SS4,691.14. This amount was
included in l0,340 receipts. The number
of receipts issued was 1876, and the total
collections amounted to SS2, ,47O.7l, leaving
%, 2,22O43 still to collect. The S2,220.43,
however, is only nominal amount.
Much of it is probably included in double
entries, especially of polls returned by
school trustees, and non-collectible for the
reason that sometimes the parties have
moved out of the county and sometimes
they are over or under age. But as slight
offset to this, there is included in the total
amount collected, number of additionals
which, when all is Strengthened up, will 60
to swell the figures of the total book.
Taxes rendered up to the 18th instant
will be subject to the Is per cent. penalty,
and after the 18th, all delinquents will be
turned over to the sheriff, and such
amounts as may be due and obtainable on
realty and personally, will be collected by
execution. Delinquent polls will be turn
ed over to the trial justices, who, under an
act of the legislature, have authority to
imprison all who refuse to pay.

of acts of these freebooters. So many
lies and false reports are published in
even the Influential newspapers in
England, that I deem it advisable to
add that the freebooter prisoners have
been treated with the greatest consid-
Grafton by our burghers, despite the
fact that the latter have been more
than once compelled to take arms in
defence of the dearly bought indepen-
dence of our republic. I hope you
will kindly pardon the liberty l am
taking when 1 say that our confidence
in Rhodes has received such a rude
shock that his repudiation of the pro.
ceedings at Buluwayo ought to be
received with the greatest caution.
Even now we have news that an armed
force is collecting on our borders. If
this be true, I trust that not the word
of Rhodes, but the influence of the
government will suffice to prevent
further incursions. Will you, with a
view to checking further lying repre-
sentations publish this ?'

TWO MILES THE LIMIT.

A correspondent has asked THE EN-
QUIRER for an answer to the following
question:
Is there any law compelling parents to
send their children to school in the town.
ships in which they live? Example: !:
Can a man send his child from Broad
River to Bullock's Creek township, and
after certificate is made out, in accord
ance with law, enforce the payment Of the
same?
The question has been referred to School
Commissioner Shurley, who says that al
though there is no law in regard to the
matter, it is the policy of the trustees not
to make a child walk more than two
miles, if it can be helped. Children
should attend the nearest school under all
circumstances, and if this condition is
complied with, the fact that they may
live in township other than the one in
which their school is located, makes no
difference.

- Great Britain denies responsibility for
DR.. Jameson's invasion Of the Transvaal.
That is because the invasion was not q
success. Everybody is familiar with the
story of the conquest Of India. 1t will be
remembered that the first British foot
hold in that country was secured by Lord
Give, while acting in much less respon-
sible position than that occupied by DR..
Jameson the other day. But all that
Give conquered, Great Britain retained,
and still has. If Jameson had been able
to whip the Beers, the Transvaal would
now be British possession.

ACCORDING TO sCHoRMBURGH.

Messrs. Elder and Miller completed
their survey of the North Carolina line
last week. and from the reports that have
been coming in, it would seem that York
county has not been the loser.
Mr.. Judson Lewis is a good citizen, who
lives close to the line, and has always re-
garded himself as "Tarheel." He has
been voting in North Carolina and has
been paying taxes there; but if the work
of the surveyors shall count for anything,
all of that will be changed. According
to the new line, Mr.. Lewis has been trans
formed into full f1edged "Sandlapper,"
and must pay taxes in York and be regis
tered according to the provision of the
new constitution, or hereafter he will not
be allowed to exercise the right of fran
chise. He is reported to be very much
worried about the matter.
Mr.. John Frank Jackson, who lives
near Bowling Green, had narrow escape
from sharing the same fate with Mr..
Lewis, and only managed to avert 1t
through prompt and energetic action.
He had always been living in North Car
lima ana COUSlQeTGu Iuo SIdlo uchlIuJ'
He saw the surveyors coming, and calcu-
lated that they were going to run his
house to the south of the line. Mr.. jack
son always knows how to act in case OF
an emergency, and in this instance he was
not at a loss. He hurried to meet the sur
veyors, implored them not to put him
into Stale where his family would be
subject to chills and fever, and after con-
vincing them that the line was some dis
tance to the south, got them to consent to
allow him to remain in North Carolina.
And if the reports are correct, it seems
that we have not only gotten some good
citizens by the survey; but also some val
liable property. Some time ago, CASTOR
county built good bridge, just over the
line. The authorities took good deal Of
pride in the work, and constructed the
bridge with view to exciting the envy
of our York county commissioners. But
pride goeth before fall. All their work,
trouble and expense has gone to naught.
This bridge belongs to York county now.
The surveyors have no doubt made
other valuable gains for the county but as
yet they have not been reported in detail.

FISH FOR THE RIVER.

If Broad river is not stocked with fish
within the next few years, it will not
be the fault of Representative r. NJ.
Carroll, Messrs. J. w. Thomson, w. +.
Dye and several other gentlemen who
have been working at the matter most
persistently for sometime past.
Representative Carroll started the move
ment. His attention was called to the
fact that where there used to be millions
of fine fishes in the river, now there
are almost none. Responsibility for this
state of affairs was laid upon the dam
across the river at Columbia, and
Representative Carroll undertook an in
vestigation. He found the trouble prac-
tically as reported.
The law requires that this dam be
provided with a fishway, and the tishway
is there all right enough; but somehow il
does not answer the purpose intended.
On the contrary, it serves as regular
slaughter pen. The fish come up to the
dam; but before they can find the
fishway, they are caught by the thousand
and shipped to all parts of the country.
But few manage to get up stream, and
the Columbia fishermen manage to have
things pretty much their own way. The
situation seem. to demand more legisla-
ton in order to ensure fair deal with the
fishermen further up the river, and this
legislation Representative Carroll intends
to secure as soon as possible.
"But I am not depending altogether on
legislation" said Mr.. Carroll to THE
ENQUIRER a few days ago. II have been
in correspondence with the fish commits
sioner at Washington, and as the result,

At the bottom m of the trouble in South
Africa, is the fact that during the past fe"
years, it has developed that the Transvaal
is the richest country Of its size in the
world. Its output of gold amounts to
more than $50, ,OOO,OOO year. Therefore,
Great Britain wants control, and the other
European countries do not want her to
have control. There is not much princi-
pie involved. More than anything else,
it is a question of money, and the outlook
for war between Great Britain and Ger
many on account of it, seems to be first
class.

TROJlBI,E IN SOUTH AFRICA.

News of the past few days from South
east Africa seems to indicate that Great
Britain is in danger of running into still
other international complications, scarcely
less serious than those existing on account
of the Venezuela boundary dispute. Just
what the merits of the present troubles
are, it is impossible to say with certainty;
but if the matter could be carefully sitted
to the bottom, it is not unlikely that the
whole thing has its origin in another
intended land theft by Great Britain.
The Transvaal republic of the Dutch
Beers, in Southeast Africa, was first settled
along about 1882, and universally recog-
nized as an independent State in 1852.
Its territory is probably six or eight
times as large as the State of South
Carolina, and the ruling portion of its
population consists of Dutch emigrants
who went there originally for the purpose
Of enjoying civil and religious liberty
according to their own notions. The
English made two attempts to bring them
into subjection to the queen; but met
with such warm receptions on both
occasions, that they finally decided to let
them alone, and for many years the
Beers have been enjoying peace and quiet
in the pursuit Of their favorite vocatiOns
of trading with the natives, stock raising
and farming.
Some six or seven years ago, however,
gold was discovered in the Transvaal, and
with the discovery there came an influx
of adventures Of all nations, mostly
British, and few Americans. Further
developments proved the gold fields to be
the richest in the world, and as the result,
the number of new comers increased so
rapidly that it was not long while before
it was almost equal to the native popula-
ton. The Beers were not disposed to
welcome the emigrants; but as they
felt that these Objectionable people
b, :. to be tolerated, they decided to
make the most of them. To this end,
among other things, it was provided
that no new schools should be etablish-
ed except Boer schools, and the new
corners should be made to bear as many
of the burdens of taxation as possible,
and should not be entitled to any voice in
the government until after residence of
five years.
Englismen everywhere have not only
very correct notions of liberty; but also
very strong love for it. The attitude of
the Beers CALLED them severely. 1t is
true that they had the alternative OF get
ting out of the country if they did not
like their treatment; but when they once
settle anywhere, they don't like the idea
of leaving until they get right good ready.
This is especially the case when the coun-
try is rich in gold. After putting up with
the situation until they considered that it
was growing unbearable, they decided to
