HE SERVED.

Alfred Grier, a well-known Negro, OF
Yorkville, died suddenly last Saturday
night of heart failure. He left his work
as usual, apparently in his usual health.
On his way home he stopped at the house
of Reese Foster, colored, and shortly
afterward expired. Coroner Brian held
an inquest and the jury ascertained the
cause of death to be as stated above.
The deceased has long and creditable
record of faithful and honest service in
the town of Yorkville, and by reason Of
this is entitled to more than mere passing
mention. He came into the world as the
property of the Grier family, Of Meek
lenburg county, N. c., some IS or %
years ago, and was brought to Yorkville
in 1860 by his then owner, Colonel w.
H. McCorkle.
In 1863. Alfred was hired to the old
Kings Mountain Railroad company, as
laborer about the depot, and continued
with the railroad through all its changes
of ownership, in the same capacity, up to
the day of his death. 1t was here that he
became known to the public, and here
that he established the reputation for
faithfulness and honesty by which he be-
came so well.known, especially to the To-
cal public.
In several respects, the deceased was
remarkable individual. The principal
part of his duty was to load and unload
freight. He never leaned to read; but
it is curious fact that in the unloading OF
freight he was always, or nearly always,
able to tell the name of the consignee Of
every freight package at glance. This
was especially the case when the consignee
was all individual or firm regularly en-
gagged in business in the town. If the
package happened to be for private in
dividual, he was generally at loss. And
there was another thing. Although a
man of ordinary strength, he acquired
remarkable slight in the handing Of heavy
boxes. He could handle bale Of cotton,
for instance, with as much facility as two
ordinary laborers Of much greater ply

SPANS REPLY TO THE UNITED
STATEs.-The full text Of the Spanish
reply to the note of United States
Minister Woodford has reached the
state department in the last mail and
is now under examination by the
officials, says a Washington dispatch.
So far as can he learned, it is not the
intention of the administration to give
it publicity now, so that the interest of
the people must be satisfied at present
with the more or less official statements
emanating from Madrid as to the char
acter of the Spanish note. 1t is ex-
pected that the president will make
this note and the correspondence lead
ing up to it the basis for one of the
most important chapters of his forth
coming message to congress upon the
reassenbling of that body i'll December
next, and meanwhile it is not believed
to be probable that any radical change
in policy will characterize the CORES
pondence between the two countries
unless something unforeseen occurs.
1t appears that the determination of
the Spanish cabinet to court-martial
General Weyler, while not directly
due to a request of this government,
was probably inspired by an intimation
from the state department that his
utterances were not calculated to
smooth the way of the negotiations.
1t is surmised that by thus acting with
promptness the Spanish cabinet has
paved the way for counter remon-
STRANGE against the publication Of ex-
United States Minister Hanuis Taylor.
The conditions in the two cases, how
ever, are said at the state department
to be entirely different. General Wey-
ler, being Spanish army officer, is
ameuable to discipline for any inter-
ference with the policy of the govern
ment, while Mr.. Taylor, being private
citizen, is not accountable to his gov
ernment for his individual utterances.

ELECTION SATURDAY.

The voters of York county are again
reminded that the primary election for
the selection of Democratic nominee to
succeed to the seat in the general assem-
bly,, made vacant by the recent decease of
Mr.. l.. X. Armstrong, takes place next
Saturday.
The candidates are Messrs. H. E. john
son, of Bethel township, and w. j. Cher
ry, of Catawba township.
1t has been pretty freely predicted that
there would be but a small vote polled.
How this may be, of course, cannot be
stated with certainty; but at the same
time it is to be hoped that the voters will
come out and freely express their choice.
This may not be necessary under the cir
cumstances; but it will be gratifying to
the candidates, and they are entitled to
no less.

RELEASED THE LIQUOR.

Deputy Sheriff Harshaw went down to
Tirzah on Monday, broke open the Gala
boose and released the contents of the
so-called original package shop to the
alleged agents Of the owner.
Deputy Harshaw's action was in obe-
dience to the recent restraining order
issued by Judge Simonton. The order,
as has already been stated, was first
served on Detective Newbold; but that
individual refused to indicate his inten-
ton to either hold or release the liquor
in controversy, and for awhile things re-
manned in statu quo.
AS the next step, Messrs. Hart & Hart,
attorneys for the alleged agent, began to
operate on Mr.. Harshaw, threatening in
case he persisted in his refusal to deliver
up the stock of the original package es-
tablishment, to have him ruled for con-
tempt.
Deputy Harshaw was the regularly
deputized officer in the case, and upon
him devolved the principal burden of res
possibility. AS to just exactly what to do
he was in doubt; but he did not care to
incur the responsibility of incurring
the displeasure of Judge Simonton
without proper backing. He telo-
graphed first to the solicitor and then to
the attorney general, and got no satisfar-
ton from either official as to whether he
should hold on to the liquor or give it up.
Next he consulted local attorney, and
was advised that, under the circumstan-
ces, he had better deliver up the whisky.
1t used to be that when the citizen of
one state invaded another for the purpose
of violating the laws, he was duly punish
ed. But now, it seems, he is aided. abet-
ted and allowed privileges greater than
those enjoyed by residents.

STORY OF A SATCHEL.

Superintendent Dendy, of he York
Vile Graded schools, is telling good
joke on himself. 1t is coupled with some
rather remarkable circumstances. He
would not have told it a week ago for
a good deal. In fact, he was in fear and
trembling that it might get out on him.
But now, absolyed even from possible
suspicion, he has nothing further to
conceal.
When Mr.. Dendy left Georgia, about
nine weeks ago, to come to Yorkville, he
had among his effects small hand
satchel, marked with his name in big
letters, and containing, among other
things, a Bible and hymn book, which,
it is proper here to mention, were pur-
chased from the Baptist board Of publi-
cation in Atlanta.
Shortly after he had gotten off one train
to board another, he noted that he had
forgotten his satchel, and as soon as pos
sible thereafter, tried tn recover ii by
telegraph, without success. But this is
merely incidental.
Some three weeks ago there came
letter from a little town in Georgia, sta
ting that there was hand-satchel in the
express Office there, marked "W. E. Dem
dy," and asking what should be done with
it. Mr.. Dendy at once instructed that the
satchel be shipped to Yorkville, and when
he opened it, instead of recovering his
lost books, he was amazed, not to say
Mortified, to find two great bottles of red
liquor-original packages.
There followed, of course, some pretty
lively thinking, during which was can
vassed every possibility from practical
joke to a dark plot and ugly mistake, with
out the slightest solution of the mystery.
He was still puzzling and keeping mum
until last week, when there came to him
by express another package. 1t was from
the Baptist board Of publication, Atlanta
but as the charges had not been paid, he
was suspicious. By way of precaution,
he wrote to Atlanta to learn something
about the package, and by return mail,
was informed that it contained Bible
and hymn book, marked as the property
of "W. E. Dendy." The books had been
found in the Union depot at Atlanta, and
sent to the house by which they had been
originally sold with view to securing
their restoration to their owner.
1t is all clear to Mr.. Dendy now. He
has a satisfactory theory Of the whole
business. Somebody picked up the satch-
ell by mistake, opened it in Atlanta,
threw out the contents in disgust, and re-
placed them with something else more to
his liking. Afterward, the fellow set the
satchel down somewhere, went off and
forgot it, and, by means of the label, the
finder was enabled to restore it to the
original owner.

- Supply and demand control the price
of cotton? Oh, yes, certainly! The diff
ference between the price of raw cotton
just now, and yarn, just the next step
above, runs from IL to lS cents a pound.
If it is supply and demand which re-
duces raw cotton to such point, we can
not understand why it does not also affect
the manufactured product. But still,
there are those who will tell us that the
whole trouble is due to supply and de-
mand.
