job, it was necessary to have one man get
ting up steam, while another was setting
the type. Now the other man can be
otherwise more protitably employed.
Although a complete system of steam
heating is something new for this Sec
ton, it gives us pleasure to say that ex-
cept for the pipes, valves, etc., we have
not been compelled to go abroad for it.
The articles referred to, which of course
cannot be manufactured here, were fur
nished by Messrs. w. B. Moore & Co.
The work was planned and executed
from start to finish by Yorkville's resi-
dent steam filter, plumber and machin-
ist, Mr.. F. A. Gossman. 1t is pretty
big job, and to do the work required,
about 10 days; but it is as well done as if
we had gotten man from some of the
larger cities at perhaps twice the cost.
| Perhaps our readers won't see it, and
perhaps they will; ; but on account of this
improvement, we think our facilities for
making a better paper, doing firstclass
job work, and transacting business gen.
orally, have been greatly increased, and
50 far. we are delighted with the venture

If Senator Tillman's bill to create 8
western district for South Carolina be-
comes law, President Mckinley will
have the appointment of two marshals
and two district attorneys in this state in
stead of only one each as heretofore. Blu,
then, perhaps, the Democrats will have
say in the matter next time, and the
change will be looked upon with more
favor. The only material disadvantage is
that with two sets of officers instead o.
one. the fees will be reduced half.

HEATED BY STEAM.

THE enquirer office used to be heated
up Just like any other business house or
dwelling-with stoves but it is not heat
ed that way any longer. The work OF
putting in system Of steam pipes has
just been completed, and now the whole
building is kept comfortable by a single
fire.
And if we do say it ourselves, its a very
cozy arrangement. The boiler in which
the steam is generated is located in an
annex to the main building, and from it
Il series of steam pipes run into the edi-
toral room, business Office, composing
room, and down into the press room.
Each room is provided with separate cut
of valves, and any one of the rooms or
the whole interior of the building, may
be heated up or cooled down at will.
Although our new heating arrangement
has been in operation only few days
now, we have had some freezing weather
within that time, and we are prepared to
say that the system is a complete success.
Upon experiment, it has been found that
any portion of the building can be quick
ly heated to any desired temperature up to
ITO degrees, and steadily maintained for
any length of time required. While a
temperature of ITO degrees is never neces-
sary for any purpose, all printers will at
once recognize the great value of last
ing snmmer-lke heat in printing Office.
Among some of the other advantages
experienced SO far, is a great saving of
fuel, the time and labor required to keep
accumulation of trash and dirt, and above
all, the press room always in condition
for first class work, and constantly on
hand full head of steam, ready to be
turned into power ut short notice. When

what strained relations between this
government and Spain just at this
time, the Washington authorities want
to find out for themselves what head
way Spain might make in an attempt
to blockade this port, and at the same
time, incidentally show to Spain how
well this government herself under
stands such matters.

THE ENQUIRER is in receipt of copy
of a new school history Of the United
States by J. William Jones, former chap
lain of the Army of Northern Virginia
and published by the R. H. Woodward
company, of Baltimore, in 1896. The
book is just ont. 1t begins with the dis
covery Of America, and comes up to 1876
In all there are 454 pages, and Of these
l39 pages are devoted to the history OF
the "War Between the States" This is
treated from a southern standpoint, but
in truthful and unprejudiced manner
and the book, taken altogether, seems to
be the very thing for use in southern
schools. We should be glad to see all OF
the lying northern histories supplanted
by it forthwith.

A Convict's Mad Race with Yelping Pack

"The dogs The dogsl"
The cry of agonized apprehension was
simultaneous with the appearance of a
man with dishevelered hair, distorted
features and the torture of fear in his eyes
who leaped from the arroyo and dashed
past with the speed of the wind. The
horror of the situation struck me dumb
and palsied my nerves, says writer in
the Cripple Greek Guide. The yelps of
the swift-approaching dogs beat on my
ears like the roar of cannon and the pres

through my limbs as though had been

was only conscious of one fact, and that
was that I stood directly in the path of a
pack of blood hounds, taught by instinct
and training to tear human bipeds to
pieces. The knowledge that they would
only attack the man they were delegated
to hunt down did not occur to me. 1t
only came to me when the pack dashed
past in full cry. The dogs paid no more

boys were shouting at the dogs and try

above these sounds came the maddened
shrek of the convict, who was plunging
in headlong fashion toward the open door
of one of the stables. 1t was evident his
strength was almost gone but he dashed
through the stable door and I heard the
key turn in the rusty lock while the dogs
were still several yards away.
The horror was still upon me when the
head of the convict appeared at the open
