First Movements During Revolution.

First Movements During a Revolution.
know the men Of the people in Par
is too we'll not to know that their first
movements in times of revolution are
usually generous, and that they are best
pleased to spend the days immediately
following their triumph in boasting of
their victory, laying down the law and
playing at being great men. During
that time it generally happens that
some government or other is set up, the
police returns to its post and the judge
to his bench, and when at last our great
men consent to step down to the better
known and more vulgar ground of pet
ty and malicious human passions they
are no longer able to do SO and are re-
duced to live simply like honest men.
Besides, we have spent so many years
in Instructions that there have arisen
among us kind of morality peculiar
to times of disorder and special code
for days of rebellion. According to these
exceptional laws, murder is tolerated
and havoc permitted, but theft is stren-
uously forbidden, although this, what
ever one may say, does not prevent a
good deal of robbery from occurring up
ON those days for the simple reason that
society in state of rebellion cannot be
different from that at any other time,
and it will always contain "a number of
rascals who, as far as they are concern
ed, scorn the morality of the main body
and despise its point of honor when
they are unobserved "Recollections'
of De Tocqueville.

NOTICE!
Important Change.

On April 1st we will turn over
new leaf and make an important
change in the manner of conducting
our business.
Commencing on and after April
1st, all goods will be sold for CASH
ONLY.
We have for some time past care
fully considered this plan. We have
weighed the advantages; also the
disadvantages, and we believe it is
step in the right direction and in
harmony with modern merchandise
ing and low, popular prices.
1t will benefit both the buyer and
seller.
1t will enable us to make very
low prices.
We expect to sell so cheap that
parties will have no reason to send
out of town for any goods we carry.
The spot cash, low price system of
doing business is fast supplanting
the old long time high priced system
and we are anxious to test the matter
and demonstrate whether the buying
public will support first class cash
store.
The 1st of April We Adopt a
Strictly Cash System.
For the present we quote few
special, spot cash prices:
Package coffee, Zoe worth 25c
Five lbs. lard ..55c {" 65c
Ten '' ......S1.00 "$1.25
Twenty lbs. lard :. 1.90 25O
Rex Flour. ...... 800 3.75

GENERAL RISE PREDICTED.
Opinion Of Merchants as to the Effect of
the Dingley Bill ON Prices.
Especial to Baltimore SUM-


the Dingley Bill on Prices.
Especial to Baltimore Sum-
New York, July 20.-Leading mer-
chants who were asked to-day what will
be the effect OF the new tariff were al
most unanimous in declaring that it will
increase the cost OF nearly all commodi-
ties to the consumer, and from some he
will be barred and compelled to accept
inferior substitutes.
Meyer Jonasson. head of large firm
Of clothing manufacturers, predicts a
general advance in garments, both do
nestle and imported. Carpets will be
higher in price, according to Renne
Martin & Sons. Millinery, silks, velvets,
and pushes will advance, s. B. Hill. of
Hill Bros, said, and the duty on cor
duroys is almost prOhibitive, If the man.
is right. The duties on oranges and
lemons will make them too expensive
for poor persons, A. J. Gannara, a fruit
importer, believes.
Woolens have already advanced 10
percent over the last years prices, it
was stated at the house Of Stevens,
Sonford & Handy, and within sixty
days an increase Of Is to 20 per cent is
predicted. Many carg0es are being hur-
ried here by importers, who will save
large sums if the vessels arrive before
the Dingley bill becomes a law. In
some lines Of goods on which there was
no uncertainty passage Of the law has
been discounted by large importatiOns
during the last month. Wool importers,
especially, have laid in big supply, for
| it was generally conceded that wool
would be taken from the free list. Inn
p0rters Of hides have been kept guess
ing, however, and many cargoes will
have a close race with the new tariff
law. The United States Leather Com
pany Is said to have several cOnsignments
of hides coming from Calcutta, India,
and from South America. If they arrive
before the new law no duty will have
to be paid on them, but the Dingley
measure places the duty at 20 per cent.
AS these cargoes contain anywhere from
ten to fifty thousand hides, valued at
about 81 each, matter of many thou
sand dollars is at stake.
Some shrewd work has been done by
the tobacco importers since the special
session Of Congress was convened to
draft revenue bill. Thus, while the
annual sale of Sumatra wrapped tobacco
is held in Rotterdam and Amsterdam in
May of each year, it was in the present
instance advanced to April, and the lead
ing and lesser tobacco importers bought
largely to take advantage of the pros
pective increase in duties.
In all about one hundred and thirty
thousand bales of tobacco have been
| withdrawn from the bonded stores, of
which fifty thousand were Sumatra and
eighty thousand Havan4leaf. The duty

To the Editor: How can our people
favor a tax to support schools that vir-
tually deprives fully one-quarter or one
third OF the children attending? no re-
quire an average attendance Of IS schol-
ars will take at least IS or 80 children
to each district, and thus will the school
houses by reason Of distance apart pre-
vent the extreme attendance at all. In
few cases, thickly settled sections, this
would not occur. but In Carterett and
many other counties it would. No ad-
vantage is gained by large districts if
more teachers are necessary to teach the
schools. Small districts and school
houses near the doors Of the children is
the best plan. The present system Is a
crime and should be despised by every
fair minded man who would do to others
as he would have others do to him

on a bale Of Sumatra averages about
$3.50, and on Havana about $35, so
that the amount paid in duties since
April on tobacco Withdrawals can be
roughly estimated as $13,O0O,OOO on
Sumatra and $2,SOO,OOO on Havana. or
about $15, 100000 on both.
Other importers have not been idle,
while the tobacco and sugar men were
rushing in their goods to beat the tariff.
The principal Withdrawals aside from
the above named staples, have been in
chinaware, plain and decorated, linens,
dress goods and moquette carpets.

Bailey Bros "OLD BOB" Tobacco
or sale BY all dealers.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1897-02-03
A SMALL WINDFALL.

The town council of Yorkville is felic-
itating itself upon the early probability
of realizing some 5000 which will come in
the nature of a "windfall."
The windfall referred to is in the shape
of a mortgage given away back in 1885, to
secure fine. In that year one Tom
johnson, colored, was convicted before
the town council in two cases of selling
liquor, and was fined $50 in each case.
Not having the cash with which to pay
the fine, Johnson gave the council his
note, secured by mortgage on piece of
land situated on the southwestern part OF
town.
For some reason-possible because the
property would not bring the money
the montgage was not foreclosed when
the note was due, and the debt was
allowed to run on at interest. But
now the matter is about to be settled
up. Upon inquiry, the present town
council has learned that the note,
principal and interest, foot up something
like $500. The property has changed
hands and been developed considerably
since the mortgage was given, and the
town council thinks that it can easily get
the amount due, and it is about to fore
close.

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
What the House and Senate Are Doini
From Day to Day.

What the House and Senate Are Doing
From Day to Day.
Following is synopsis of the more
important developments in the general
assembly since those published in the
last issue of THE ENQUIRER.
FRIDAY, JANUARY 9TH.
In THE HoUsE-Mr. McCullough's
bill to require county officials to keep
their Offices open during certain hours
passed with about twenty counties, in
cluding York, exempted.
Mr.. de Loach's bill authorizing spe'
ciaf elections for towns and cities &c
renew and validate certain bonds was
read third time.
The bill to prohibit the employment
of other than convict labor on state
farms was passed.
There was favorable committee
report on Mr.. Patton's redistrictine
bill. The provisions of this bill have
already been published.
Among the most important of the
new bills introduced is that of Mr.. l.
D. Childs, which is intended to con
vert the dispensary into a system fol
the sale of liquors for sacramental
medicinal and scientific purposes only
The scheme of the bill is to adopt the
machinery of the present law in every
way possible and to make as te"
changes as possible in carrying out the
intention of limiting the sale to sacra
mental, scientific and medicinal pur'
poses. The bill provides that no IL
quor shall be sold as beverages. The
state board of control, the county
boards of control, the commissioners
and the system of procuring liquor
permits is all maintained in the pro-
posed law of Mr.. Childs. The con
stabulary feature of the present law
is eliminated and Mr.. Childs expects
the authorities generally charged with
the enforcement of the law to carry
out the law as amended by him. There
is no profit feature in the proposed
law.
IN The SENAIE-hI. bOFC oii'
providing a special board of assessors
for the city of Rock Hill, passed d
third reading.
The bill to regulate express and
telegraph companies was made a spe'
cial order for Thursday at l O'Clock
p. m.
Senator Mayfeld introduced the
following:
"Section l. That the manufacture
and sale of alcoholic liquors and bev'
erages is prohibited except as herein
after provided"
1t is the idea of the senator to allow
the other senators to complete the
text of the bill with amendments en-
bodying all the ideas that may be en-
tertained on the subject.
SATURDAY AND MONDAY.
Neither house of the general assem-
bly, was in session on either of these
two days.

AT WINTHROP.

The members of the general assembly
visited Winthrop last Saturday, accord
ing to appointment, and had an enjoy
able time of it.
Arrangements had been made in ad-
vance for All elaborate reception, and
when the party arrived every member
Of it was taken in charge either by q
member Of the Winthrop faculty or one
of the students, and given the most
solicitous attention throughout the day.
The morning was spent in careful in
spection of the college building in all its
departments, and then at o'clock the
company was ushered into the immense
dining room, where most acceptable
dinner was served to an appreciative
company by the fair Hebes in snowy
aprons and fetching caps. At its conclu-
sion the master of ceremonies proposed
the following toasts, which were respond
ed to in order by the following gentle
men "South Carolina" the Hon. II. c.
Patton; "The General Assembly," the
Hon. T. w. Bacot; winthrop College" "
the Hon. John P. Thomas, Jr. Higher
Education," Prof. F. C. Woodward
"The Press" the Hon. John S. Reynolds
1.-THE Womanhood of South Carolina y
the Hon. E. D. Smith "Rock Hill, tht
Magic City of the Piedmont" Mr.. w. j
Roddey.
After dinner, the young ladies gave {
complimentary concert which was also {
rare treat. When the members left town
the general impression seemed to be tina
all Winthrop had to do was to ask ant
she would get about anything it was il
the power of the general assembly t.
give.

SALESDAY.

There was no reason to expect big
crowd in Yorkville on las. Monday,
salesday for February, and big crowd
did not materialize. In fact, the weather
was so wet, cold and generally disagree
able, that even large per cent. Of those
who did come wished they had remained
at home.
There were no auction sales either by
the clerk or sheriff, and about the only
attraction outside of the inducements
that are being offered by the Yorkville
merchants, was Glenn & Allison's auc-
ton sale Of mules. Considering the cir
cumstances, the attendance at the sale
was remarkably large. There were pres
ent perhaps 200 people, which number
easily includes 80 per cent. of the visitors
to the town during the day, and in all %
mules were sold at prices ranging from
about $56 to 500.
The good order during the day was
exceptional-so much so that the police
did not find it necessary to make single
arrest
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1897-02-03

where in this issue, it will be noted that
Mr.. Childs wants to prohibit the sale
of alcoholic liquors, except for "sacra-
mental, scientific, medicinal purposes"
etc. So far so good. That is just what
is wanted by all Prohibitionists, and
80 far as the wording Of the bill is con-
cerned, it is perfect. But how will it
work in practice? That "medicinaW
purpose provision, while necessary, is
a loophole which would at once take all
the force and effect from the law. The
medical profession is high-toned one,
and majority of its members thorough
ly conscientious gentlemen. But there
are exceptions to all rules, and this has
its exceptions also. There are men who,
clothed with the high and almost sa-
cred office of physician, are so unprin-
cipled and as unscrupulous as the mean
est malefactor who has ever run blind
tiger. While theoretically there may
be some way of curbing such men,
practically, there is none, and the pass
age of such law as that proposed by
Mr.. Childs would not only fail to cur
tail liquor drinking to any great ex-
tent; but it would provide rich har-
vest for a class of men that society
could better afford to have entirely elm
mated. All physicians have occasion to
use alcoholic liquors in their practice
occasionally, and when necessary they
always manage to get it somehow or
other. But there are few really respec-
table physicians who would relish the
idea of being placed by law in po-
sition where they would be constantly
annoyed by people who would have
them violate the confidence reposed by
the law, and give prescriptions for Ii
auor to be used as beverage. If Mr..
Childs would have still further informa-
ton upon this subject, he is advised to
investigate the records Of municipali-
ties wherein a plan something after the
style of the one he proposes has been
given practical trial.

ALMOST FOURSCORE.

Mr.. George T. Latimer died at his ho me
near Philadelphia church, last Monday
afternoon, at 5 o'clock, after long and
tedious illness with paralysis.
Mr.. Latimer was a cabinet maker by
trade, and up to the close of the war,
since which time he has been practically y
retired from business, he had wide repu-
tation as postmaster of his calling. Fol
the past fifteen or twenty years, on ac'
count of physical inflrmity he has been
able to do but little work, and for many
months past he has been bedridden in
valid.
Had he lived until next October, Mr.
Latimer would have been 80 years Of age
His surviving children are Rev. t. D.
Latimer, of Mississippi Messrs. w. G.

BETTER ROADS.

Wanted, the names Of nine more intel
ligent and progressive citizens Of York
vile who realizes the necessity and
advantage Of better roads, and who
realizing this necessity and advantage,
are willing to put their shoulders to the
wheel to make the roads better. The
name of one such man has been given
in; now for the others.
A wellknown citizen of Gorkville, OF
progressive ideas, and of only average
means; but who means exactly what he
says, and who is good for any obligation
that he might voluntarily incur, stepped
into THE ENQUIRER office on Monday
and made the following proposition:
81 want to say that I will be one Of 10
men-any 10 men of Yorkville. and if we
can get more, why just so much the
better-to contribute 500 year for five
wears in the macadamiZation of any or
all of the roads leading out of this town.
I am willing to make bond, if desired,
to secure the payment OF the money
500 year-and will make no stipulation
as to which one of the roads be worked
on first The only condition l desire to
impose is, that at least nine other men
bind themselves in a like manner, and
that whatever work is done be done in
a permanent manner"
Continuing, the speaker said:
81 only stipulate the period of five years
in the hope that by the expiration of that
time, the public generally will have
been convinced Of the value of this work
and be willing to push it along. If ten
men cannot be found to go into the agree
ment for five years, but are willing to go
i'm for one year, I'll talk with them on
that. What we need now more than any
thing else is better roads, and the only
way l know of getting them, is just to
pull off our coats and do the work.
There is Charlotte, coming to Catawba
river with Il macadamzed road. What
does that mean? People who live six
miles this side of the river will be closer
