- Almost the entire civilized world is
more or less alarmed at the prevalence
of the bubonic plague in Bombay. The
disease is said to be almost identical with
the "Black Plague" which swept Asia
and Europe in the Fourteenth century
and killed over 100, 100000 people, and it
is this fact which causes so much alarm.
Health Officer Doty of the New York
quarantine station, however, says that
there is little danger that the plague can
ever reach New York or even Europe.
He has just returned from trip to
Egypt, and while there examined the
quarantine arrangements OH the Suez
canal. All the quarantine officials there
are Englishmen Of learning and ability
who are keenly alive to the danger of the
situation, and that a case of the disease
could be allowed to pass through the
canal is next to impossible. But, not
withstandiug this fact, Officer Doty made
arrangements to get information by cable
upon the arrival of the first
ship at Suez.

not intended to do so, the repeating clause
of later act can kill certain inconsistent
provisions Of former act. We have
known such things to happen, and despite
good intentions, the effect is just the
same. AS the representatives of both the
new county and of that portion of the old
which desires to remain in York, it, there
fore, behoves our members of the gener-
al assembly to be especially cautious of
dynamite. Upon this point we are
pleased to find that between ourselves
and the doctor there is no disagreement.
Although we are sorry to see any por-
ton of the county cut off, we give our
word for it, that, under the circumstances.
we are fully reconciled to the situation.
We only ask that the 81 square miles
which desires to remain in York be allow
ed to do SO and that the doctor does not
insist upon an arrangement whereby the
new county may always have, at the ex-
pense of York, representative to spare
lover the river" We wish the new
county to have all to which it is entitled,
and we shall always plead Ior the same
for York.

BLACKsBURG TO GAFFNEY.

The following press dispatch under date
of Philadelphia, January IA, will be OF
interest to most people in this section:
1t was learned today that the Ohio Riv-
er and Charleston railroad, which is con-
trolled by the Finance and Investment
company of this city, will extend it's line
from Blacksburg, s. c., to Gatfney, in
the same state, and the management ex-
pect that the immediate result of the ex-
tension will be substantial increase in
earnings. 1t was explained by director
of the company this afternoon that the
building of the road to Gaffney would
make available the valuable water powers
OH the Broad river near Blacksburg. the
development Of which has been delayed
because of the absence Of transportation
facilities, and that the extension will con-
meet the Cherokee Falls Cotton mills and
those at Gaffney with the main line of the
road, thus giving it considerable new
traffic.
There will be an issue of 5000, 200 bonds
on the purpose of building certain branch
es and making extensions. All the bonds
furnishing sufficient funds for such new
work as decided upon, have been under
written, but the shareholders will first be
given an opportunity to subscribe.

BLAcKsBURa, January l9.-During the
past week, the heavy mist and fog have
obscured the rays of the sun but yester-
day, Old Sol asserted himself, the clouds
parted, and this morning is bright and
clear.
Notwithstanding Sunday was very
unfavorable day for outdoor ventures,
and many of our citizens were suffering
from mild attacks of the grip, yet servi-
ces were held IN the Methodist, Baptist
and Episcopal churches, and at each
church there was good attendance of
worshipers. 1t was not the regular day
for the pastor at the Baptist church; but
the church was opened by Rev. Mr.. Vass,
who has charge of the Baptist orphanage
at Greenwood, S. c.
Services were also held at the Episcopal
church in the evening at 7.3O o'clock, the
rector, Rev. r. w. Anderson Of York
vile, stopping in his ministerial duties
for neither wind or weather. The church,
on Saturday, received handsome dona-
tioE of prayer books and hynnals from

Mr.. Crum's bill to prohibit the owner
ship of Winchester and other repeating
ritIes-that is practically what the bill
means-does not strike us as altogether
wise. We presume that the bill was sug-
gested by the Cooper incident the other
day but if so, Mr.. Crum has not taken
the proper view of the matter. Suppose
such law had been in operation at the
time. According to the facts, Cooper did
not buy his Winchester until after he had
had the difficulty with the Negroes at
Magnolia. The law would not have pre-
vented the purchase of the weapon. But
with the desperate armed with the Win
chester, without Winchesters, the people
who undertook to take him, would have
been almost entirely at his mercy, and
under the operation of such law, it is
quite clear that the people would have
found it more difficult to procure such

- President Cleveland is somewhat
more considerate of his successor than
is usually the case with retiring presi-
dents when the successor belongs to
another party. 1t is stated, on what
seems to be reliable authority, that since
the Nov ember election, the president
has not only been furnishing Mr.. Nc
Kinley with full information as to all
diplomatic and other important busi-
ness that has been transpiring; but has
had prepared for him a full history OF
all the important developments of the
past four years. This course is most
commendable on the part of Mr.. Cleve-
land, and no doubt it is fully appreciated
by Mr.. Mckinley. But then, it must
not be forgotten that, after all, there is
not much difference in the politics of tn e
two men anyway.

FURNITURE FACTORY.

THE ENQUIRER is in receipt OF COM
munication from gentleman in neigh
boring town with references to the estab-
lishment of a furniture factory at this
place. The writer of the communication
informs us that he has had 20 years
experience in the furniture manufactur-
ing business, and is also willing to invest
some money in the proposed enterprise.
His idea is that not more than $1,000
will be required to put the proposed plant
in successful operation. He figures that
it will take $1,000 to buy the proposed
machinery, $1,000 for the necessary lot
and building, and $1,000 for use as
working capital. On this sum he is sure
that profit of not less than 25 per cent.
per annum can be realized.
The stuff to be manufactured includes
ordinary furniture and inside house
building material, such as mantles, COL
umns, brackets, stairways, balusters, etc.
In fact, everything of this character ex-
cept sash and blinds.
The suggestion is that stock company
be raised, and the maker of the sugges-
ton expresses a willingness for the stock
holders to elect their own president and
treasurer. He only desires to have charge
of the labor and making of the goods,
and is willing to bind himself not only to
forfeit what he puts into the enterprise
but also his wages, if the business does
not realize clear profit of at least 10 per
cent. He believes that it can be made to
earn 25 per cent. and the only reason that
he is not now in the business on his own
responsibility, is because he was recently
broken up by fire, against which he was
not insured.
This includes about all the information
which our correspondent cares to make
public. The gentleman's name and ad-
dress, however, will be furnished to any
business man Of Yorkville who cares to
make further inquiry into the matter.

Mr.. Ragsdale of Fairfield, has intro
duced bill to deprive circuit judges of
the right to set aside verdicts and order
new trials. He reasons that such law
would be in strict conformity with the
constitution. Under the constitution,
judges are now prohibited from making
the slightest comment to jury in regard
to the facts in the case, and Mr.. Ragsdale
thinks it rather odd then that a Judge
should have the right to set aside verdicts
based on facts. And, somehow, great
many will feel inclined to agree with Mr..
Ragsdale on this matter. Properly exer-
cised, there is no doubt Of the fact that
the right of judge to set aside verdicts
often serves the end of justice; but like
the pardoning power of the governor, it
is more often abused than rightly used,
and should be abolished.

CHEROKEE NEW COUNTY BILL.

Elsewhere i'm this issue, we publish a
communication in which DR.. John 6.
Black lays it on to us rather heavily on
account of our criticisms last Saturday OF
his committees bill for the promotion OF
the proposed new county of Cherokee.
And now that he has made such full and
frank explanation of the whole mat
ter, in such genteel way, we cannot
help but feel that it becomes incum-
bent upon us to explain how we came to
make such a break.
Upon looking over the bill which, as
we have already said, carefully guards
the interests of Cherokee, we noticed
that it provided that until the next ap-
portionment, the new county should have
three members of the house. Now we
had already inquired into the matter
somewhat on our own motion, and to
the best of our ability determined that
two representatives were about all that
the population would stand. The new
county is entitled to no more; but if it
gets another one, it must necessarily be
at the expense Of York, and having made
this discovery, we feel sure that our good
friend the doctor will not he surprised at
us for trying to go still further into the
woodpile.
Now while in a state of perturbation
over this little matter, we happened to
drift into the proposition to have the
auditors and treasurers Of the old coun
ties perform certain services without
compensation, except the compensation
could be agreed upon by the supervisors
of all the counties. This, taken in con-
nection with the salaries sought to be
paid, led us to the conclusion that the
new county was disposed to be very
economical, to say the least of it. Econ
omy, of course, is always commendable;
but when we noted the proposition not
to wait for litigation which would de-
velop fast enough, but to import a whole
lot of it at once, we could not understand
it, and thought we saw tuft of wool.
We accept with pleasure the Doctors
assurance that we are mistaken.
We had not forgotten about the bonded
of Cherokee, when we
spoke of the possible complications which
might arise from that provision of the act
which does not allow the boundaries Of
the township to be changed. But'we were
fully aware that even if the boundaies
were changed, the taxes would be in no
wise affected. BY IL rule of construction,
however, a later provision Of an act can
nullify former provision, and although

Grip Still PrevaIent-Recent Marriages
Other Notes.
Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
Rock HILL, January 18.-We regret to
say that we have not gotten rid OF the
grip yet. Each day new sufferer gets
out for the first time for some days, or
weeks, as the case may be, and talks OF
his troubles in way that convinces you
that he at least has had no fun worth
speaking of during his spell. A rule,
the epidemic is on the wane. Among
the severest cases now lingering are Mr..
and Mrs. J. c. Poag, both Of whom are
quite sick.
Since our last letter we have two mar
riages to report. Mr.. d. P. Steele mar
ried Miss Gage of Union, and brought
his bride to Rock Hill. Mr.. Steele is
wellknown in this community, having
been engaged here some years since in
mercantile business. Now he is giving
his time to farming with special attention
to cattle raising.
Mr.. Jno. A. Black and Miss Cora Rog-
ers were married on Tuesday afternoon,
Rev. Oliver johnson, officiating. After
the ceremony the bridal party went to the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. J. II. Miller where
an elegant dinner had been prepared for
them. Mr.. Black is member of the
Roddey Mercantile company, and is we'll
known for his energy, business ability
and integrity. The bride is wellknown
| lady of Rock Hill; where she has many
connections and many more friends. We
bespeak for them happy life.
Captain and Mrs. A. E. Hutchinson
have both been visiting their daughter,
Mrs. Dick, of Sumter, who was quite sick.
Captain Hutchinson has returned home.
The Southern road now has running
their regular Florida vestibule trains;
these are as fine as the finest, but evident
ly are not intended for patronage from
this section. While we make little use OF
them, seeing them 60 by makes us know
that we are in communication with the
world at large. g. s.

Mr.. Frank Caldwell is seriously i'll with

Miss Sue Steele of Rock Hill, is the
guest Of Mrs. James B. Bell.
Miss Kate Moore and Miss Amelia
Beckham of Rock Hill are visiting Miss
Moores parents in Yorkville.
Maj. Jas. F. Hart, who has been con-
fined to his room for the past four weeks
was able to be at his office last Monday.
Mrs. Florence Rantin of Greenville, is
in Yorkville visiting friends, the guest Of
Mrs. r. w. Anderson.
Mr.. Patrick Palmer, native of York
Vile, but who has not been here for about
nine years, is on visit to friends and kin
dred. He now makes his home in Char
lotte, and is in the employ of the city
council of that city.
Judge Witherspoon is back from Or
angeburg. When his honor left York
vile, he expected to be gone about two
weeks. Shortly after the convening of
court, however, it developed that there
had been a fatal defect in the drawing
of the petit jury, and the term fell
through in short order.
Mr.. William Caldwell returned from
Columbia last Saturday, with the assur-
ance that the York delegation in the gen.
eral assembly would do all they could to
comply with The wishes of those Cherokee
citizens who wish to remain in York
county. Although he did not specify as
to which one was behind, Mr.. Caldwell
told the reporter that it was fact that
certain counties are about to ask the legis-
lature to help them pay their court ex-
penses. This is no doubt an encouraging
prospect to new county advocates.

- Many of the hostile papers are still
talking about the failure of Mr.. Bryan's
Atlanta lecture to please people who
desired to be entertained rather than
instructed, and this failure is being rolled
under the tongues of these papers as a
sweet morsel. All men, even the great
est, are liable to make mistakes some
times, and Mr.. Bryan is not an exception.
When THE ENQUIRER first learned of
the proposed lecture tour, it will be re-
membered that we expressed hope that
the alleged news was not true, and al
though we have not previously said so,
as q matter of fact, we are now rejoiced
that the lecture idea has not turned out as
it's promoters hoped and expected. Why? -?
Well, we are perfectly willing to give
our reasons. In the first place, we had
sized Mr.. Bryan up from the beginning
as solid, deep thinker-an intellectual
giant from whom silly nonsense OF the
character that is calculated to please peo-
pie who 60 to lectures to be entertained,
could no more be expected than could
sound and beneficial instruction be ex-
pected from dealers in nonsense. The
fact that Mr.. Bryan has failed on the
lecture platform goes all the more to
prove that he would be a success as chief
executive of the nation. The late cam
paign demonstrated the fact that it was
when dealing with the wrongs of the
masses and the remedies for those wrongs,
that Mr.. Bryan was at his best-that he
rose to the height of oratory that has
seldom, if ever before, been heard during
the present generation. There he proved
that he not only understood the disease ;
but was courageous enough to apply the
remedy. But suppose he had succeeded
as lecturer? 1t would have proved him
to be an actor and thrown doubts upon
his sincerity as an orator. Not reason
dUlG 1ucu, lCG uS IoAO <hilS'iiNo w GU -
and Sam Jones, two of the most notable
ecturers-fnancial success being the
test-that this country has ever pro-
duced. How would the poor old joker
Ward have done for president? How
would vindictive, bigotted, Pharasaical
Jones, do? Now since we have looked a
little more closely into the matter, is it
possible to think of a real statesman as a
public entertainer, or of a public enter
tainer as real statesman? 1t is not our
purpose to slur the public entertainer; ;
but merely to illustrate difference be-
tween the two classes of individuals.
And the mistake of serious-minded Mr..
Bryan in the matter was perfectly natu-
raj. It is not surprising that with soul
literally burdened with the vital interests
of the people, he should think that there
would be those who would gladly pay
for inst ruction on the subject, and neither
is it surprising that common, everyday
people should have been able to foresee
such mistake.
