much to the farmers. They have
learned in the season of hard times
through which they have passed to
econon ize where they could and to be
careful in buying. They will use the
money they receive for their crops to
pay off their debts, cancel mortgages,
and in making improvements on the
farm. This seems like a vast sum, but
statistics sustain the claim. Colonel
Brigham also predicted that the in.
creased price of farm products would
benefit the laboring element. The
price Of labor, he said, did not decline
with the price of farm products, and
for sometime the farmer was forced to
paw as much for the services of those
who did his work as ever, while their
receipts were cut in two. The labor
ing man will be benefited by this ad-
vance in prices. The farmer will dis
charge his Indebtedness and make
improvements, which require labor.
He will purchase more of the products
of labor, putting a vast sum of money
in circulation, and this will create a
demand for labor in all lines, and men
who have been without employment
or only partially employed will work
full time at fair wages.

TESTIMONIAL FROM TILLMAN.

Editor Gonzales, of the Columbia State,
must take of his hat to Senator Tillman.
He is not obliged to rended this obei-
sance; but if the story here told is correct,
it looks like he ought to.
We will say in advance that we are not
going to vouch for the story. 1t came to
the reporter secondhand, and may be a
little mixed. But, all the same, it came
so straight that unless it is denied, we are
inclined to believe it is true.
The incident occurred several weeks
ago, and the scene was laid on the south
bound o. r. Il C. passenger train, on its
way to the Tirzah campmeeting. Senator
Tillman was on board, and so also was
quite number of the senator's enthusi-
astic friends, gathered from various
neighborhoods in the western part OF the
county.
One of the friends referred to, an en-
thusiastic Tillmanite from away back
struck up conversation with the senator
about the condition of Reform" and
presently the discussion dritted on to the
newspapers, when the senator asked:
"What paper are you reading, any
way?"
"The Register" replied the other.
"Well," said the senator, "you drop
that right now and take The State"
"The Statew exclaimed the other.
What do you mean?"
"I mean just what say" replied Sen
ator Tillman. 'Take The State. The
Register is so unreliable that you can
never tell where it stands, and while Con
zales is as bitter as gall, you can always
tell just where to put your finger on
him."
The good "Reformer" to whom tho sem
ator was talking, pondered, so the re-
porter is informed. Other Reformers who
overheard the conversation pondered, and
from the best information obtainable,
some of them are pondering yet.

THE TOWN COUNCIL.

A meeting of the town council was held
in the council chamber last Friday night.
The meeting was called in the usual way
the policeman notifying the members
of it during the afternoon, by the instruc-
ton Of the intendant-and the reporter
was duly notified by one Of the wardens,
who believes that the public has right
to be present on such occasions if it de-
sires. All Of the members were present
when tho meeting was called TO order,
and so also was representative of THE
ENQUIRER.
The main object of the meeting, it de-
veloped, was for the consideration Of a
proposition from Mr.. S. N. Johnson rela-
tive to the improvement Of the Lincoln
road from the residence of Captain j. r.
Lindsay, TO the mile post. Mr.. Johnson
made verbal statement of his PROPOSE
ton, which was to the effect that he and
others, living beyond the incorporate
limits of town, were personally interested
in having a better road. The average
cost Of macadam work-6 inches thick
and II feet wide-was generally reckoned
at 20 cents running yard. He has OH
his land a considerable quantity of gravel,
suitable for macadam work, and pro-
posing to use this, he offered to fix up
the road in accordance with the specitica-
tions stated, in consideration Of 40 cents a
yard from the town, and would look for
the other 30 cents to outside parties; but
with this, however, the council would
have nothing to do. lie estimated that
the length of the road to be macadamized
would be between 500 and 1000 yards,
and although he was satisfied that he
would have enough gravel with which to
macadamize the whole distance, he would

CAMPAIGN STORY.

But Whether Defeated or Elected, MIR.
Evans Should Clear His Skirts.
News and Courier, Monday.
John Gary Evans will tomorrow ask
the voters of South Carolina for Sec
ond time to send him to the United
States senate. He says his record is
before the people, but in some respects
it is little cloudy. Ex-State Consta-
BILE Henry w. Holloway yesterday
gave a reporter for The News and
Courier bit of unpublished history
that does not seem to show Mr.. Evans
up in light that he would like to see
Just on the eve of the election. The
substance of what Holloway says is
that on the last election day in Colum.
bia, Evans, who was then running for
the senate, gave a written permit to a
blind tiger dealer in Columbia to order
stock of liquor and hand it out to
the voters and ward heelers. Accord
ing to the ex-constaLle, the permit
was Haunted over the heads of whisky
spies, and their hands were tied. The
dealer did a thriving business that day.
Mr.. Holloway is a son Of former
Constable J. w. Holloway. He and
his father were put on the force by
Governor Tillman. Soon after Evans
went into office the force was reorgan-
lied and the younger Holloway was
left out. This was before the last sen.
atorial election. The father remained
on longer, but finally quit.
In speaking of the matter yesterday,
Mr.. Holloway said:
"Pope Hayes was the man. He
received the written permission from
Governor Evans to keep the liquor for
campaign services but it was all sold
right over the counter. Hayes told
me and my father that he had the
governors permission. Constables
Morehead and Beach were in the place
all day, and 1 am satisfied they knew
that the liquor was being sold. am
satisfied, too, that the same permit
held the constables off afterwards and
prevented them from raiding the store.
Hayes's shop was not more than two
hundred yards from the voting pre-
cinct in Ward 2. John It. Thornton
was in with Hayes, and he (Thornton)
told me that he cleared about $65 on
election day for his shure of the sales. "
Mr.. Holloway's story is given for
what it is worth. He says that if nee
essary he will make affidavits and will
prove everything that he has said.
Mr.. Holloway was asked about the
reports of orders being sent to the con-
stables to vote for Evans. He said
these came from Mr.. w. W. Harris,
aud were sent to the chiefs. The chief
constables in turn sent letters to the
constables, ordering them home to
canvass for Evans and to vote for him
for the senate. Mr.. Holloway said
that one constable was sent from
Georgetown to Kershaw, a month be-
fore the election, to use his influence in
securing votes for Evans.

Governor Evans says that the story OF
Holloway is "a lie without foundation"
We know that "Evans" liquor was pro-
cured from the Tirzah dispensary shortly
before the first primary in which Evans
was a candidate against Earle, and dis
tributed among voters but on what
terms the distribution was made, we are
unable to say. The circumstance, how
ever, lends color To the Holloway story,
and, under the circumstances, if Cover
nor Evans wants to be vindicated, it is
incumbent upon him to furnish further
evidence than the bare statement that the
story is "lie without foundation"

one in Pennsylvania with population OF
10000 and another in Nebraska with a
population of over 5000. This information
is for the benefit Of those who can take no
pride in town which has borne its name
without dishonor for more than century,
and we respectively recommend that if
they can stand the strain no longer, they
might emgrate to either of the Yorks

strike out for York, Montana, or York,

The specifications may be all right, the
price may be all right, and the work may
be necessary. No doubt such is the case.
But whatever might be the privilege OF
members of the town council as individ-
uals in such matters, as the representa-

not think of letting such contract with

PROPOSED NEW CHARTER.

AS will be noted from the report OF the
proceedings in another column, there was
a meeting of the town council last Friday
night, and at it developed the reasons
why the council wants to surrender the
present charter and 60 under the general
incorporation act. We had hoped that
the council, or some member of it, would
see fit to state it's reasons in writing; but
in this we have been disappointed. In
the absence of such written statement,
however, we are thankful to them fol-
such remarks as they let drop in their Of
fetal discussion Of the subject.
The report of the proceedings as pub
lished, will afford to some of the citizens
of the town amusement, while others
will be amazed but it is not our purpose
to point out in this article the features
which We deem likely to produce these
effects. We will say, however, that in no
particular is the report exaggerated-cer-
tainly not to the discredit of any Of the
members taking part and notwithstand-
ing recently discovered maxim that
"four mems word is better than one,
the reporter who wrote up the proceed
ings will not retract a word even though
his statements should be denounced by
every individual present.
Before proceeding with the discussion,
it might be well to say word with regard
to one important development of the
meeting. We refer to the proposition to
call public meeting of the citizens to be
held in the courthouse, on the 7th in
stant, for the purpose Of instructing them
as to the merits of the new charter. This
action is, to say the least of it, wise and
thoughtful but in view of the rather
funny remark of Warden Moore, who
feared that there was some "misunder-
standing about the matter, and in the
same breath confessed that he had not
read the new charter himself we think it
would have probably been wise to have
called this proposed kindergarten meet
ing before publishing an order for an
election, etc. But TIE ENQUIRER makes
no such confession as Warden Moore. 1t
has read the general incorporation act
time and again. 1t read it moro than a
month ago, does not think it misunder-
stands it, and does not think it misundcr-
stands tie town council. Therefore, il

A STORY BY lRBY.
Says He Swindled the March Convention
OF 1890.


OF 1890.
At the campaign meeting at Man
ming, last Friday, Colonel Irby told a
story which, by all means, should 60 on
record. Whether the story is true or
not, of course cannot be said with any
positiveness, as Irby is generally con-
ceded to be tough citizen. But,
anyhow, here is the story as told by
the correspondent of the associated
dailies:
Colonel Irby then announced that he
would not attack McLaurin's record in
his absence ; denied he was running as
a "loose horse" to elect Evans told
his "stud colt" joke; gave his reasons
for not running last year, and de-
nounccd the campaign bureau in Co.
lumbia for the circulars which it was
sending out. He explained how he
made Evans governor, and said he
was the daddy and grand-daddy Of all
the politicians, big and little, in the
state, except Tillman but he Matched
him. "The truth of this whole mat.
ter u.s." said Colonel Irby, "that Till
man and Joined teams in 1886, after
his agitation in 1885, for the purpose,
first, to establish an agricultural COL
lege in South Carolina. AS l remem-
ber, the counties of Clarendon, Marl-
boro, Marion, Newberry, Chester and
Laurens responded to the call from
Edgefeld. Some of the representa-
tives from these counties even hunked,
and on the question of college or no
college we were ingloriously defeated.
"Tillman became Disguised with any
attempt to organize the farmers of the
state, threw up the sponge, wrote a
long letter to the people of the state
expressing his conte npt, and retired
to his home among the hills of old
Edgefeld. I didn't surrender, how
ever, and kept up the fight in the
legislature along the lines of Reform
in the administration of the state gov
ernment. The college seemed to be
hopelessly gone; but God came to the
rescue by putting it into the heart OF
Mr.. Clemson to make his bequest. A
fresh hold was taken, the fight was
renewed and the college established.
But Tillman was out, voluntarily out.
TO get him back I originated the
March convention idea year before
the convention was held and gave him
the nomination on a silver waiter.
On the question of nomination or no
nomination in that convention we were
defeated by one vote. I cheated the
question Of nomination, which saved
Tillman, who was to be the nominee.
The end justified the means, because
persons opposed to nominations had
not been invited to that convention,
and they had no right to control its
deliberations.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1897-09-01

In one of his speeches during the
campaign, says The News and Courier,
Mr.. Irby confessed that Mr.. Ellerbe was
cheated into the nomination for comp
troller general in 1890. 1t would be in
teresting now if Mr.. Irby would wind
up his confessions of fraud by telling
how it was that he cheated the state into
holding constitutional convention. A
majority of the people voted against the
conyention-what was the method adop-
ted of swindhng them out of their votes
Does Mr.. Irby know? Will Mr.. 1rby
tell ?
