into details. In its loyalty to law and Or
der, THE ENQUIRER yields to no paper
i'm the United States. Whether law be
good or bad, all that is necessary for us is
to know that it is law, and so long as it is
law, we will obey. But the laws against
the sale of liquor in Yorkville are 100
proof, and, as we believe, chemically
pure. The South Carolina general assem-
bly, has said that nobody can sell liquor
here, even upon the prescription of
physician, and has not seen fit to modify
that decree except to provide that the
the law can he repealed upon vote of a
majority of the people. From our view
of the case, nothing that Judge Simonton
has ever decided affects Yorkville in the
least, and we do not believe that he will
render decision that will affect our case.
If he does, however, we promise The
Herald not to undertake the overthrow OF
the United States government with brick
bats or dynamite. Well just conclude
that the alleged authority OF the general
assembly is farce and that local self
government is but a name, and quietly
submit to the new law.

PROGRESS OF YELLOW JACK.
Cities of the Gulf Still In State Of
Panic.

Cities of the Gulf Still In a State of
Panic.
The yellow fever panic in New Or
leans, Mobile, Jackson, Ocean Springs
and other cities of the district gener-
ally most subject to the spread of the
terrible plague, continues unabated.
The panic so far, however, is not SO
much due to what has already devel,
oped, as it is to an apprehension OF
what may come.
During the past few weeks, accord
ing to the dispatches, some 200 or 300
cases have developed in New Orleans ;
but as yet there have been but few
deaths. The exact number has not
been reported. The health authori.
ties, however, are taking unusual
precautions. When fever is discovered
in house, a guard is at once placed
on the outside and the inmates are
kept prisoners. A big sensation was
developed on Monday, when it was
learned that DR.. Holt, one of the most
distinguished physicians of the city,
had, instead of Immediately reporting
in person some nine or ten cases that
had developed in his practice on the
day before, sent the information by
mail. The information was not re-
ceived until after the occupants OF the
infected residences had had ample op-
portunity to get away, thus increasing
the danger of the spread of the dis
ease. There has been talk of having
DR.. Holt arrested with a view to hold
ing him accountable for his negligence
but as yet no such step has been
taken.
A report to the effect that cases OF
fever had developed at Meridian,
Miss, caused great fright, and many
people Immediately left for places oi
greater security. Up to date, how
ever, the disease has not actually made
its appearance, and the refugees are
returning to their homes.
Mobile, Ala, feels greatly encour-
aged. Up to last Monday, only 81
cases of fever had developed. Oh
these three died, and it was believed
that at least six were out of danger.
A heavy rain fell on the city, ON Mon
day evening, washing out the cutters,
cooling the atmosphere and greatly i'm
proving the general outlook.
The stricken districts generally are
now in great distress because of quar-
antine regulations cutting them oil
from the outside world. Towns and
cities generally in which no fever has
appeared, object to the passage OF
trains from the infected districts, and
how to keep the people supplied with
the necessaries of life is becoming q
serious problem.

AS TO MORM0NISM.
Use All Possible Moral Suasion; but Don't
Prosecute.

Use All Possible Moral Suasion; but Don't
Prosecute.
Southern Presbyterian.
These Mormons have been for some
months travelling through South Caro-
lima, distributing their literature, en-
deavoring to win converts, and in
some places, as in Fairfield county,
attempting to build church. They
have reused the bitter opposition OF
some citizens, and there seems to be a
determination to deal roughly with
them if they do not leave the country.
Now, we do not believe it to be the
duty of any member of an evangelical
Christian church to aid these Mormons
in their movements. While they pro-
fess to believe in the scriptures, they
have added so much of their own
superstition, taken from the so-called
and fraudulent "Book of Mormon" "
that their belief cannot be held to be
Christian in the broadest sense of the
word. Their teachings would be ut
terly subverse of all the fundamental
truths held by the evangelical church
es, and their practice in the matter OF
polygamy has been notoriously op-
posed to the laws of the United States
as we'll as to the law of God. While
polygamy is restrained in Utah by the
United States government, the doc
trine of the Mormons on that subject
has never changed.
We would be encouraging danger
Gus and deadly error if we aided these
Mormon emissaries in any way to
propagate their faith. But there is an
other side to this question. The Nor
mons have right to travel in this
part of the country if they wish, and
even to talk to individuals about their
religion. They should not be harshly
treated or prosecuted. The best way
to check their errors is to let them
alone, attend none of their meetings,
keep out of their reach all who can be
influenced by moral suasion, and min
listers might do we'll to set forth the
differences between them and the
Christian church universal, so as to
prevent the ignorant from being en-
trapped by their plausible speeches.
But "whitecapping," burning build
ings, beating men and threatening wo-
men are relics of barbarous age OF
persecution, which can only react in
harm to those who use such means.

THE COTTON MARKET.

It is common thing, from time to time,
to hear farmers and others making COM
PARSONS as to the prices paid for cotton
at the various markets in this section, and
expressing opinions as to which is the
best market, etc.
For instance, sometimes we hear OF
cotton being worth an eighth or even
half cent more per pound in Gastonla
than in Yorkville or Rock Hill, and vice
versa. 1t is frequently the case that such
conditions actually exist; hut for anyone
to set them down as reason why one
market is uniformly better than the
other, is bad mistake.
The fact is that all the places mentioned
are good markets, and it is often the case
that any one of them may be better
market than either of the others. This
depends upon circumstances. The basis
price of cotton in all Of the different mar
kets is whatever the staple may be worth
for export. But there are circumstances
under which higher prices are paid. very
often a merchant pays his customer a
higher price for cotton than it is worth for
business reasons, and very often the mills
pay higher prices in order to get in i'm
mediately desired supply, or in order to
stock up on certain grade. But these
things are not to he taken as fixing prices.
While on one day some individual in any
one of the markets may be paying con-
siderable advance over the regular price,
the next day the individual or mill may
not be disposed to buy at all.
Taken altogether it may be stated as an
indisputable fact that Yorkville is as good
market for cotton as there is within 5O
miles. There are others as good. We
have no desire to conceal that fact. But
here there are quite number OF buyers,
some representing mills, some represent
ing exporters, and others representing
themselves. There exists conditions
which make the idea of combination to
hold down prices out Of the question.
Not only this, there exists all the condi-
tions which make possible frequent spurts
above the prices that are being paid IN
surrounding towns. So if the best price
is what the seller is looking for, he will
find that he will be at all times just as apt
to get it here as elsewhere.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1897-09-22

During the municipal campaign just
closed, it was generally talked about
Yorkville, and we have no information
but that it is a fact, that up to few years
ago, Gaffney was dry town, incorpora-
ted only half mile each way from the
centre. All at once there was big agi-
tation to extend the corporate limits a
half mile further and bring in Limestone
institute. The people over that way
needed police protection, and were right
in for the change. The temperance peo-
pie generally who had voted liquor out Of
the town some time before, also joined
in the movement with an eye single to
the benefit of the Limestone people, who
were so much annoyed by the rowdy-
ism of drunken Negroes. Everybody
worked to 'ether and the movement was
an easy success. The extension was
granted by the legislature, and with it
the right to sell liquor in the town. The
liquor business was a development Of
which the temperance people had not the
slightest previous intimation, and had
the thing not been done as it was, Gatfney
would probably be prohibition town
yet. There is whole heap in the say
ing that "eternal vigilance is the price of
liberty"

SAVED BY THE DEPARTMENT.

Yorkyille came near having serious
fire yesterday. Had it not been for the
waterworks and the prompt and efficient
work of the fire department, there would
have been some heavy losses; but the
waterworks and the fire department were
on hand and the fire did not amount to
much.
The alarm was sounded at about II
O'Clock, and the point of danger WAS the
old Masonic hall, occupied on the lower
floors by Louis Roth, baker and grocer,
and J. w. Carr, druggist, and on the up
per floor by the Office of DR.. r. A. Brat
ton. The fire originated in the roof over
Mr.. Roth's bake oven, just back OF bis
store, and when discovered had burst
into fierce flame.
The answer to the alarm was prompt.
Within three minutes after the flre bell
sounded, the colored firemen were on
hand with their hook and ladder truck,
and within less than minute afterward,
all three of the hose reels were also on the
spot arranging for business. BY this
time the flames from the bakehouse had
been communicated to the Masonic hall
building, and were running up the sides
in way that seemed to promise inevita-
BILE destruction. In fact, people generally
we're disposed to give it up as desperate
case.
There was certainly reason to look for
a long and stubborn fight; but even this
did not develop. At given signal, the
man at the hydrant turned on his water
and within a quarter of minute after
ward two strong streams were sizzling
and cracking among the burning tim
bers. There arose an immense cloud OF
black smoke, into which the firemen con-
tinued to direct their streams, and when
the smoke lifted no sign of flame was
to be seen. The fire was practically ont.
To make assurance doubly sure, the fire.
men continued to play upon the smoul-
dering wood work for some five or ten
minutes longer.
In the meantime great crowd of work
ers was engaged in removing goods from
the stores of Messrs. Roth and Carr and
the office of DR.. Bratton. A considerable
quantity of goods was thus removed with
more or less damage. Fortunately, how
ever, the danger to the building was
checked in time to reduce the damage
referred to to minimum.
Just what the exact loss amounts to ii
is not yet practicable to make an estimate.
Altogether, however, it will not run over
5000 or $500. AS much as 800 of this will
probably fall on DR.. R. A. Bratton.
Messrs. Roth and Carr both have insu-
rance for an amount easily sufficient to
cover all losses they may have sustained
by breakage, water, etc.

AFTER THE ELECTION.

When political or other fight is over,
no matter what may have been the result,
it is the custom of THE ENQUIRER to
quit fighting. In this office it is not con-
sdered good taste either to crow on the
side of victory or squeal on the side OF de-
feat. 1t was hoped, therefore, that after the
issue of the 18th instant, it would not be
necessary to refer to the election OF last
Friday in THE ENQUIRER again. But
shortly after the election was over, and
after THE ENQUIRER got out on the
streets, there were developments which,
great reluctance, 1t has
became necessary to mention.
The first development is mentioned at
the especial request or demand OF a
party who thinks himself aggrieved.
Within one hour after The ENQUIRER
made it's appearance on the streets, Ma
ior James +. Hart called at this office
with a copy of the paper in his hand,
pointed to an article headed "Grabbing
at a Straw" and demanded of Mr..
w. D. Grist if he had written it. MIR.
Grist said that he was the writer. Ma
ior Hart then asked if he Major HART
was one of the prominent lawyers refer
red to as desiring to change the name OF
the town in order to secure the establish
ment Of an original package shop in
Yorkville. Mr.. Grist told Major Hart
that no such meaning was intended the
article did not pretend to say who, if any
body, was actuated by such motives, but
only stated the fact that quite number
of people believed that such motive was
at the bottom Of the scheme. Major Hart
then wanted to know if the reporter
would publish the fact that no reference
was had to him as desiring to change the
name of the town for the purpose men,
The reporter assured the major
that he would do so with pleasure, and
accordingly the major took his leave, still
in a very bad humor.
The next adventure of the reporter was
with Mr.. c. q. Parish, warden. The
meeting was at the postotlice. Mr.. Parish
was also aggrieved at the same article.
He said he had fought liquor in all its
forms ever since he was a child. He did
not know what was the object OF the
council in proposing to change the name !;
but had he thought there was such an
object as that he would have fought it
