urday's edition for distribution in Lam
caster, Kershaw, Chesterfield and other
places, at which Mr.. McLaurin was una
BILE to be present. The reference to a
supposed" speech, however, is entirely
gratuitous. If Mr.. Evans, or anybody
else, will produce copy of The ENoU!-
RER containing a single line that was not
in every copy that was sent to our SUBJ
scribers, we hereby agree to pay to him,
for his own use and enjoyment, the sum
of $500. AS to the correctness of the re-
port of the Yorkville meeting, as publish
ed in THE ENQUIRER, we are willing to
leave it to the testimony of the 600 or 700
citizens who were present and heard the
proceedings.

The duel which was with swords, was
arranged with the greatest secrecy
and continued until the prince received
a wound of serious nature in the
abdomen. Then the combatants shook
hands and the affair is over. 1t is
stated pretty generally that the object
of Prince Henri in provoking the duel,
was to afford himself an opportunity
to bring himself more prominently be-
fore the French people. He is a pre-
tender to and hopes some day to occupy
the French throne. The populace of
both countries is now engaged in laud-
ing the courage and prowess of the
respective champions.

About the meanest thing we have seen
in print in long time is an intimation in
leading daily paper in this state. which
is unfriendly to Mr.. McLaurin, that bis
collapse at Yorkville was feigned and for
effect. Every man who was at Yorkville
knows how unjust thisis. Political preju-
dice seems to rob some men of their hu-
manity. It was apparent to all who were
present that Senator McLaurin was sick
man. Such unkind attacks ought to con.
vince all fair.minded men how unfair and
unjust is the warfare being made upon
McLaurin by the politicians who scruple
Rock Hill Herald.
The newspaper referred to by The
Herald is the Columbia Register, and a
number of subscribers to that paper in
Yorkville, who were acquainted with the
facts, were very indignant. A citizen
here thinking that probably the intima-
ton was made without full knowledge OF
the facts, took occasion to send The Regis
ter detailed statement Of the circum-
stance in the belief that it would at once
make an effort to do justice. At the same
time-without the knowledge of The Reg
ister-the statement was sent to The Ev-
ening Record, with request to publish in
the event of The Registers failure to do
so. After the lapse of reasonable time,
and The Register, failing to do justice,
The Record published the statement. AT
this The Register flew off the handle,
made sarcastic reference to The Records
alleged violation of newspaper amenities,
suggested as how any but the densest in
tellects ought to have understood that its
gbastly intimation was joke, but still re-
fused to publish the communication of its
'impetuous" correspondent, on the alleg-
ed ground of other matters of more press.
ing Importance. From The Registers
point of view its action throughout the
incident may be justifiable; but it seems
that the intellect of The Herald, and that
also of The ENQUIRER, we confess, is
rather too "dense" to see it that way.

AT Observation-Disclosures home
last Wednesday, Irby said he would
"rather be defeated 10000 times than be
elected by striking the SICK" and was
applauded; but when he went on to say
that "if McLaurin could not return to the
stump, he should withdraw from the race
and send Governor Ellerbe," the voters
perceived his hypocrisy and remained
silent.

Thinking of His Soldiers.

Greenville News: A pathetic proof
of the affection and regard General
MCGOWAN bore his soldiers during the
war, was afforded a few days before
his death. During period of deliri,
um, the old general believed himself
to be engaged in battle. He gave or
ders to his men and called for rein.

family handed him tumbler of milk
he took it in his hands, merely tasted
it, and then with kindly smile hand
ed it back saying, "The soldiers are as
thirsty as am. Give this to them"

The statement that the railroads have
agreed not to handle liquor in loose pack
ages, seems to he a mistake. A half car
load of "original" packages was deliv-
cred to a Columbia concern last Tuesday
by the South Carolina and Georgia. The
packages came from Savannah, and it is
now stated that the railroads will be glad
to handle the separate package business.

The Passing of the Cayuse.

beds Of eastern Oregon demonstrate that
the broad plains between the Rocky and
Cascade mountains were the original
habitat of the prehistoric horse, Il fleet
little animal no larger than fox which
i'll the long ago scampercd over the
lonely land. After the lapse of ages the
modern horse is now to degenerate upon
the stamping ground Of his ancestors
The Cayuse has become so valueless by
the invasion of the electric car and the
bicycle and the disappearance of the
stagecOach and the wagon train that
the halter has been taken from his neck
and he has been turned loose to struggle
with nature for his own subsistence
Over this section many thousand head
OF Wild horses now roam as untram-
moled AS i'll prehistoric days, and during
the past winter these persisted in large
numbers
1t is Il case of the survival of the fit

read his doom Ill the setting sun, but
