being made to get up the proof neces-

crime.
The late Editor J. B. McCullagh,
editor of the St. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat, who committed suicide the other
day, is said to have originated the very
popular form of quoting men in news
papers, styled interviewing. He was
a successful war correspondent, and
after the late war wrote an interview
with Alexander H. Stephens, in which
the cause of the failure was placed
upon President Davis. He certainly
brought it into great popularity and
perfection. He was one of the most
prominent figures in newspaper cir.

CURING HAMS.

There has been quite an extended dis
cussion in the columns of The News and
Courier recently on the subject of curing
hog meat. This subject has been partici-
pated in by men of experience in all
sections of the country, and as this result,
the concensus Of opinion seemed to be in
the curing and preservation of pork
hams, there was nothing so etflcacious as
the use Of boraX.
But now, just as the question seems to
have about been settled, Mr.. James Bar
rett of Augusta, Ga, comes forward with
strong protest. He objects to borax, to
pepper, to smoking, and to everything
else that has been suggested; but has no
remedy of his own to suggest. Here
is the way he puts the case:
'"Your various articles on the preserva-
ton of meat have struck me in many
instances as untenable. The Swiss are
rejecting American hog meat on account

SOMEWHAT DISCOURAGED.

The tobacco-growers of the southern
and eastern portions of this county are
badly discouraged, and the outlook is that
they will hereafter attempt but small
crops, il any at all.
Our information comes from Mr.. r. M.
Bratton, who has heretofore been the
largest grower in the vicinity of Brattons-
vile, and one of the largest in the county.
He returned from the Danville market
not long ago, and it was on account OF his
experience there, he has about decided to
90 out of the business. He had with him
big crop Of tobacco, on which he expec-
ted to realize good price. But he only
got an average of cents a pound, and
that is scarcely enough to pay expenses.
It has been Mr.. Bratton's experience
that the difficu in the way of tobacco
raising in this section are rather too nu-
merous to be overcome. In the first
place, it is too far to market; and in the
second place the South Carolina grower
meets with too many obstacles after he
gets there. There is reason to believe
that the North Carolina and Virginia
buyers are inclined to discriminate against
the tobacco growers of this state, fearing
that development Of the industry here
will be at the expense Of their own state.
Then, after all, Mr.. Bratton has come to
the conclusion that with the same care
and attention that is required for tobacco,
there is as much or more profit in corn
and cotton. Still, however, he thinks
that if it were possible to establish local
warehouses and a local market, tobacco
raising here could be quickly developed
into paying business.

Another Weekly.
The publishers Of the Rock Hill Daily
Sun have decided upon the publication of
a weekly edition also. The Daily Sun so
far has been quite an energetic and spark
ling little newspaper; but judging from
what should be its advertising columns,
it is sadly lacking the support Of Rock
Hilrs business men.
From Ebenezer, Too.
Mention was made in THE ENQUIRER
of w ednesday of the fact that thieves had
entered the Presbyterian church at Nc
Connellsville, during the holidays. The
Rock Hill Herald says that Ebenezer
church was also visited on New Years
eve, and the Bible and hymnbooks stolen.
Herndon's Opera House.
Prof. R. ]. Herndon has awarded the

ing completed by the first of next Sep
tember.

- David Bennett Hill is no longer in
good standing with the Democratic pa rty.
About that fact there is no doubt. Dur
ing the present session Of the New York
legislature, successor to Senator Hill is
to be elected. The Republicans have a
large majority in the legislature, and the
next senator, no doubt, will be Repub-
lican. The Democratic nomination for
the place will, therefore, be an empty
honor; but, all the same, this nomination
is not going to Mr.. Hill. In the last
great political battle, Mr.. Hill took the
woods, and the Democrats Of New York
are unwilling to tolerate man who de-
clines to show his colors.

Tariff for revenue? Why, yes, GER
tainly the Republicans believe in tariff
for revenue. 1t was by promising a
regular prohibitive tariff that they were
enabled to raise the enormous revenue
which enabled them to corrupt the voters
in the recent election, and now they want
to carry out their promise. But still
there is left one consolation. Let them
90 ahead and enact their prohibitory
laws. Nothing they could do is better
calculated to make the people revolt
again as they did in 1892, and next time
sure enough the Democrats will come
into power.

DOWNFALL OF BUTLER.-lnterest in
the North Carolina senatorial contest
has assumed national proportions as
it promises to drive Senator Marion
Butler, the Populistic leader, into
political oblivion. The statement in
dispatch from North Carolina pub
lished this morning, to the effect that
Senator Pritchard is likely to succeed
himself, Notwithstanding the opposi'
tion of Senator Butler, was received
with approval by all who are inter
ested in Prilchard's success. Repre-
sentative Linney says that the election
of Senator Pritchard means the politi-
cal downfall of Senator Butler, and
the elevation Of Representative Skin
ner to the leadership of the Populist
party in North Carolina. Not only are
the Republicans of North Carolina
thoroughly disgusted with what they
call Senator Buffers duplicity, but ac-
cording to Mr.. Linney, the Populiss are
heartily sick and tired of Buffers desire
to "dog" everything in the way ofpolit-
ical glory that belongs to the Populist
party. The Democrats Of the state
have TO intention of aiding Butler, for
he has been as insincere with them as
he has been with the Republicans
Mr.. Linney says Buffers aim has been
to deadlock the legislature so as to
give him an opportunity to dictate who
shall succeed Pritchard. He says
Butler has overplayed his hand, and
the aim of all parties in the state will
be to get rid of Butler and put an end
to his doubledealing methods.-News
and Courier.

Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
HooDTowN, January 7.-Christmas
passed Off very quietly here. Its princi-
pal attractions were the Santa Claus fea-
ture for the children and a few sociables
and pound parties for the young people.
The older people enjoyed themselves Wis
iting among their friends and partaking
of the choice dishes usually reserved for
that season. However, it remained for
Mr.. and Mrs. J. w. II. Good to give
dinner which for quality and general
excellence is rarely surpassed on such an
occasion. A number of their friends,
both old and young were present. Two
turkeys were served, while other eatables
not less palatable and toothsome made up
the repast, which was more than sufh-
cient for those present-about Is persons.
Altogether the day, January 2, was one
long to be remembered as pleasant social
occasion.
There were quite number Of visitors
to our neighborhood during Christmas.
Among them were Messrs. Lonnie An
derson and Egger Plexico of Clay Hill;
Lester Good Of Kershaw; Mrs. Dovie
and Miss Mamie Weir Of Kings Noun
tain Miss Elminah Mayfield of Fairfield
county, and Mr.. Ensley McSwain Of

If The ENQUIRER remembers cor
rectly, the S26,25O which the Maryland
court of appeals requires Mr.. Golden
Rhind to pay over to the Baltimore syn
dictate is now in the hands of trust COM
pany, having been attached pending the
result of the pending litigation. Yes,
we are almost sure this is the way OF it,
for it was reported some time back thata
we'll known citizen of this state, now re-
siding in Columbia, was heard to express
considerable impatience at certain "d-n
rascals" for holding up some Sl2,OOO

the worst of it seems to be that, after ALL
the other fellow is going TO get the money.

Senator Elect Money, of Mississippi
who went to Cuba for the purpose OF
getting some satisfactory information as
to the insurrection, has returned to WASH
ington. He is not willing to talk for pub
lication, and just what he learned while
i'm Cuba is not known. 1t is certain, how
ever, that he did not succeed in making a
trip into the interior. The newspaper
correspondents in Cuba learned that much
while he was there. He was only permit
ted to make short tours in the immediate
vicinity of Havana and the town of Guam
ahacoa but even here he saw numerous
places where the insurgents had left their
mark, and it is quite reasonable to sup
pose that within the island there is in
progress pretty good sized little rebel
lion,

BROKE THE RECORD.

AS everybody who has ever subscribed
for THE ENQUIRER is aware, it is the
custom Of this office to discontinue send
ing papers at the expiration Of the term
of subscription. We never presume that
because an individual has subscribed and
paid for the paper one year, he wants it
sent to him indefinitely; and we never
presume on good nature by continuing
to send the paper to a man who has not
ordered it in the hope that he will pay for
it whether he wants it mot. This is not
THE ENQuIRER's idea Of business. Each
transaction stands for itself,
and when it expires, the making of an
other is an entirely new matter. A large
per cent of our subscriptions, Of course,
expire during the first week of January,
and, consequently more subscriptions are
stricken out during that week, than dur
ing any other week of the year. Some
years it has been necessary to strike out
between 300 and 400 names, and other
wears, of course, less. This year, as u.s.
ual, we struck out every name that had
not been duly returned, without regard
to financial standing or other considera-
ton, and the result is so satisfactory that
we feel justified in giving it to the pub
lie. The total number of names stricken
from the list was only 108. Along with
some who will probably not renew, these
include the names of many who for var
ious reasons had not yet found it conven-
lent to give their names to clubmakers.
Indeed, nearly score of them have
already been sent in since last Wednes-
day. At no time before in the history OF
the paper has the number of names
stricken from our list during the first
week of January been so few as this year,

SOUTH CAROLINA BOND CASE
The Court of appeals today reversed
the decision of the court below in the
celebrated South Carolina bond case,
says an Annapolis, Nd, dispatch of
Tuesday. The suit grew out of dis
pute between T. Edward Hambleton
& Co., and other Baltimoreans and
Golden Rhind of Georgia and banker
named Lancaster of New York and
Richmond, where division of com.
missions for floating bond issue OF
the slate of South Carolina.
In 1892 Rhind obtained authority
from the authorities of South Carroll
na TO float SC, 900, 900 state bonds. He
applied to Lancaster for aid In form
ing syndicate to take them. Lam
caster was unable to float the entire
issue and Hambleton & Co., were ap-
pealed to. 1t was agreed that sub
scribers should share alike in the
profits of the transaction. After the
bond issue, Lancaster and Rhind, it
is alleged, entered into a secret agree
ment whereby two-thirds of the inter
est due on July l, 1898, should be paid
to Lancaster to pay Syndicate ex-
penses," which, il>was limited, was po.
lllical influence. This, if the whole OF
the issue were considered, would
amount to more than s118,000.
The court holds that the syndicate
had a right to know what these syndi'
cate expenses were and says that
Lancaster not only. suppressed the
truth, but deliberately uttered the
most unblushing falsehoods. The
courts finds against the claim of Rhind
that Lancaster was entitled to this
two.thirds interest, and requires Rhind
to pay over $26, ,26O with interest and
costs to applicants, the Baltimore men,
bers of the syndicate.

of the borax process, and it is really inju-
rious to hams, as it hardens them and
makes them tough. The pepper process
is not always successful, and with an open
winter ! know of no process that will
keep hams without injuring them, except
to do like the Westphalians, examine the
hams daily and destroy the insects as they
appear. 1 have tried almost every pro-
cess and found none reliable. Have even
tried smoking with sulphur. Relative to
smoking hams, the English DO not smoke,
and their hams are notoriously poor:
The Westphalians smoke their hams until
place in their dwellings. Furthermore,
the hogs of Westphalia are similar to our
razor-back, long-legged and lean. The
Italian hog is very similar to our native
swine, with thin skin and little hair. l
have never found good receipt for keep
ing hams in this climate that does not
iniure the meat. We can adopt the west
ern system and have their inferior hams.
Let the preservation of hams he agitated,
for would like to learn reliable
remedy"
What Mr.. Barrett has to say sounds
conclusive enough; but it will be noted
that he does not deny that borax is good
meat preserver, and his only objection is
that it makes hams hard and tough. OF
course the Westphalian plan of examin-
ing every day is impracticable. and, as
nobody will deny, that "hard and
tough" ham is much better than no ham
at all, it is rather difficult to see what
Mr.. Barrett is driving at.
