Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
BLAcKsBURa, September A.-Our an.
nual equinoctial storm came in upon
schedule time this year. 1t began to
make its appearance on Tuesday. By
Wednesday night it was in full blast,
and blew quite gale all day and night.
Yesterday morning the wind began to
subside and a gentle rain to fall, which
continued quite steady until nearly Il
o'clock. The storm did no damage. On
the other hand, it lowered the tempera-
ture about 10 degrees, gave us splendid
season, and ushered in the autumn, which
is always such charming season in the
south; the air just crisp and cool enough
to be bracing, and the woods gorgeous
and beautiful with their deeper hue OF
green, interspersed here and there with
the rich shades of red and brown, now
and then q splendid specimen OF the
"sere and yellow leaf" which reminds
US of the sure progress of change and
decay, and softens our nature and refines
our feelings.
Although the original package has not
made is appearance in our town yet, the
indications are that it is OIL the border,
and ready to step over as soon as certain
preparations are completed for its recep-
ton. And it is probable, that, instead OF
one, there will be two establishments OF
that character. If such shall be the case,
the dispensary is doomed in Blacksburg,
for, as one of our closely observing citi-
zens remarked yesterday, that so-called
moral institution is supported principally
by the Negroes. who buy the cheaper
grades of liquor, and when they are offer
ed the same stuff at lower prices, and its
sale divested Of all the restrictions thrown
around the dispensary, they will, OF
course, buy the originel package.
Before another issue cf The ENQUIRER
will make is appearance, Blacksburg and
Gaffney-the two largest and most pro-
gressive towns in the new county OF
Cherokee-will have another means OF
connection and communication in the
new branch of the o. R. & G. railroad.
The grading is virtually completed, and
the ties and rails will be down ready for
trains to run by Monday morning, unless
something unforeseen and highly impro-
bable should occur. The work is being
pushed with the greatest energy night
and day. The state convicts, which have
been working on the road since the 26th
of July, were returned to the state on
Tuesday last, their term of service hav-
ing expired.
Mr.. Herbert Tripp will leave this even
ing on the Southern vestibule, for brief
trip to Norfork, Va, Pittsburg, Pa, and
other northern cities.
A report reached our town yesterday
evening that VIM. Forbis, who lives near
Grover, was killed about $50 p. NJ, near
that town by freight on the Southern.
No particulars were secured.
The large furnaces of the Virginia,
Carolina Chemical works, at this place,
for the manufacture Of sulphuric acid,
are completed, and Captain Anthony, the
manager, will begin at once to make the
acid for the manufacture of fertilizers, for
the spring trade. w. A.

From the synopsis of the decision OF
Judge Watts, in the case of Mauldin vs..
the City of Greenville, which appears
elsewhere in this issue, it would appear
pretty clearly that the contention which
THE ENQUIRER has been making for
several weeks past is well sustained. The
City of Greenville will take the matter
up to the supreme court; but it is dollars
to doughnuts that Judge Watts will not
be reversed. The whole thing is so plain
that there is but one side to the question.

Still! unwilling to acknowledge the
injustice of it's remark that "Old York Is
a little Slow" the Spartanburg Spartan
taunts us with reference to that "won-
derful highway from Howelrs ferry to
Yorkville." The editor of The Spartan
has evidently not been over this road for
several years. 1t is not at all like it was
before the war, or even like it was two
years ago. In fact, Spartanburg county
has but few roads of equal length that are
better; but still "Old York" is not hall
satisfied. That road will yet be put in
condition calculated to open the eyes OF
our hustling contemporary.

The Hawaiian senate has confirmed
the proposed annexation treaty with the
United States, and the rumors that Japa-
nese soldiers are going to the islands in
large numbers, disguised as emigrants
are being revived. 1t is not generally be-
lieved in this country, however, thai
Japan will be inclined to interfere with
annexation in the event the United States
shall decide upon such a step. In the
first place it is not definitely known thai
Japan wants to interfere, and, in the Sec
ond place, there is reason to believe that
if she did want to interfere, she woulc
have more sense.

Returned to Columbia.

Returned 10 COiutnDia'
His Excellency Governor Ellerbe,
who has been spending some weeks at
Mt. Airy, N. c., as the guest of sena-
tor McLaurin, returned to Columbia
last Wednesday. He reported that he
has had a pleasant vacation, as the
result of which he had gained ten
pounds. The reporters tried to inter
view him about various matters; but
he would not say great deal. He
still hopes, however, that his action in
removing the constabulary will have
beneficial effect, and that, besides
saving to the state some S5O,OOo a
year now being paid out in salaries, it
will result in popularizing the dispen-
sary system.

- President Diaz, of Mexico, has not
yet lost faith in silver. The portion
of his recent semi-annuai message
which attracted most favorable atten-
ton throughout Mexico, was as fol-
lows: "Unfortunately the present
fiscal year does not begin under as
good auspices as the previous one, for
the excessive weakness and luctuation
of silver, often sudden and violent in
their character, have so influenced
economic situations of the country
that it is demanding the serious atten-
tion of the government and has caused
the adoption of measures of prudence,
all expenses not absolutely necessary
being opposed or reduced. The mag
nitude and sudden character of the
present perturbation in silver certain
ly does not correspond to the known
causes which have produced it, and,
therefore, there are we'll founded rea-
sons for belief that the factors, more
or less artificial, which may have an
influence in the decline of silver, will
be of short duration and may even
soon bring about a favorable reaction.
There is not, therefore, for the present,
any Serious reason for alarm. The
nation will be able to pass through
this difficult period, confronting it with
the same serenity which it displayed SO

a very successful operation in Sumner
township last week Thursday in remov-
ing the greater portion of the tibia from
Johnny Delling's right leg. The young
man is in his teens and has been suffering
for one and Il half years. The trouble
is the result Of cold taken while bath
ing. The membrane that fits snugly
down over the bone became inham ed
and caused arrest of nutrition and the
death of the larger portion of the bone
was the result. This porti on being re-
moved, there is about ne-third of the
tibia left in a healthy condition and it
is expected that the bone will fill in and
make the boy useful and good limb.
He is doing splendidly at this writing
