rious. Mr.. Wilson'S son, who was knock
ed down and covered up with flying tim
hers and the like, was taken out unhurt.
A trifiing burn or two that didn't make
any blister is the sum Of his damages. 1t
is truly a remarkable deliverance from
harm of all who were concerned. Had
the explosion happened moment SOON
er, it must have occasioned shocking fatal
tiles. But when the time came for the
boiler to travel its terrible path every man
had, without knowing he was in peril,
stepped aside from the path of deadly
danger. Mr.. Wilson, who is Presby-
terian, is orthodox to the extent of be-
lieving, as he says, that the whole occur
renee was planned thousands Of years ago
and that it was then fixed just where
every man should be when the explosion
took place. The marvellous escape from
death of all who were there has made a
profound impression upon Mr.. Wilson
and he has cause to be, as he is, truly
grateful for the deliverance.
No cause is specially assigned for the
explosion except that the boiler was an
old one and its time had come.

FATAL ACCIDENT.

Mr.. James &. Thomasson, we'll
known farmer who has been living about
five miles northeast of Yorkville, was ac-
cidently killed last Wednesday afternoon,
as the result of being thrown from his
buggy.
Mr.. Thomasson was on his way to the
Tirzah dispensary, where he was going
for the purpose of getting some whisky,
which had been prescribed for the three
critically i'll children of his brother, Mr..
T. Y. Thomasson.
Mr.. ThomassOn's horse became fright
ened, it is thought, at dreadfully bad
piece of road and ran away. He was un-
able to control the animal, and was
thrown out on his head, the fall breaking
his neck. He lived for about five min
utes; but WAS unable to speak.
The only other person on the road, in
sight at the time, was Mr.. John F. Cor
don, who, however, was unable to give
any assistance.
Mr.. Thonasson was about 81 years OF
age, and was brother Of Messrs. John
NJ. and II. n. Thomasson and Mrs. n. d.
Tate. He was widower and leaves three
children, who are provided for with a
comfortable home, and good farm OF
about 400 acres. He was buried at Union
cemetery OH Thursday morning at 10
O'Clock.

- Norton has been elected to congress
over Johnston. Norton is a Reformer
and Johnston a Conservative. We do
not know much about either one Of these
gentlemen; but we believe Mr.. Norton
is more of demagogue than states
man, and we have no hesitation in saying
why. In the first race, Senator McLau-
rim was candidate, and, for obvious rea-
sons, nobody dared draw the factional
lines. In the second race, however, with
McLaurin out of the way, Norton at
once proceeded to do all he could to
arouse the old-time prejudice, and thus
secured his election. Politics is politics,
and some politicians think they are justi-
fed in any means to an end; but the
lesson of the contest is that hereafter MIR.
Norton should be carefully watched. He
is evidently looking more after his own
selfish interests than after the peace and
welfare of his district. We do not mean
to say that Mr.. Johnston would not have
done the same thing had it been to his
interest to do so. This we do not know.
But had he done so he would have been
lust as blameworthy as is Mr.. Norton.

and instructed their reporters that from
that date Manager Deceive would attend
to show news, and that they could devote
their talents in other directions. The re-
porters also smiled broad smiles, for
though the fact is not generally apprecia-
ted, there is no individual who derives
less pleasure from any kind of public en-
tertainment than the professional news
paper man. With him it is strictly busi-
ness, and pleasure does not count. So the
reporters smiled smiles of relief and
derived comfort from the change. But
now, after trial, Manager Deceive is still
dissatisfied. With the disappearance OF
the columns of theatre gossip, he has
noticed decreasing interest in local stage
matters, and with the decreasing interest
there has been heavy falling off of the
receipts at the box office. He has not
surrendered yet, because he does not
know exactly how to 60 about it; but
people who understand the situation, are
of the opinion that it will not be very
long time before he is ready to propose to
the newspapers that he would be glad

REMARKABLE EXPLOSION.

A terrible boiler explosion occurred last
Friday morning at Mr.. Labe Wilson's
gin and saw mill near Begonia, says the
Gastonia Gazette Of Thursday. 1t was
remarkable alike for its violence and for
the marvellous absence of any fatality.
1t was about IL o'clock. Mr.. Wilson
had just thrown on belt and stepped to
one side. Andy Taylor, the colored fire.
man, was at one end of the l5-horse power
horizontal boiler, which was very old and
separate from the engine. MIR. Wilson's
13-year old son Henry was few feet
from the boiler also. The feeder and pack
er were in the ginhouse near the gin.
Messrs. John Jenkins and Robert Long
had finished timing the roof and shed
and had come down.
After throwing on the belt, MIR. Wilson
had barely time to step aside when the
boiler flew past him with terrific report,
which, he said, was very much like the
soulid Of the exhaust one hears from the
big city congresses. The flying boiler
shot by Mr.. Wilson's side, rubbing
against his leg as it went. The Negro
fireman seemed drawn by suction right
after the boiler, and tumbled into the
open we'll just under where the boiler
was a moment before. Mr.. Wilson's
little son was knocked down and covered
up in the debris. The saw mill shed was
blown to kindling wood. When the
boiler struck the ginhouse, it tore two
8-inch sills 1.-TWO right under the gin.
By some strange coincidence, the feeder,
before anything wrong had happened,
stepped just to one side from his gin.
The packer, who was standing near, was
knocked up from the floor and came
down OH a girder.
The two S-inch sills seemed to break
the upward force Of the boiler, and, div
ing down, it missed the next two joists.
But, rising again, it flew along under the
ginhouse, tearing in-two every joist ex-
cept the two just mentioned. 1t sailed
out from under the house on to distance
of So yards by actual step measure from
where it. started. A few yards from its
stopping place it cut in-two standing
tree as big as Il telephone pole. When it
stopped flying forward, the steam was
still escaping so violently at the tire-boX
on the under side that it whirled the thing
a summerSault.
Mr.. j. r. Henderson says there was a
general wreckage Of almost everything.
Nobody was seriously hurt. The fireman,
who was hurled into the well, was scalded
SO that he is temporarily disabled from
work; but his burns are not regarded Sc

WILL NOT ATTACK TILLMAN.-
Larry CAN'T has been over to Laurens
and had an interview with Senator
Irby. The interview reads in part a.
follows:
ave asked Colonel Trby if he had
anything to say about Mr.. McLaurin.
"Nothing whatever" was the reply
81 criticised McLaurin's public record
and position so long as he remained
upon the stand, but when he quit the
campaign lie; him alone. But by the
way, 1 do want you to set me right
about an interview l gave out directly
after the election, and while irritated
over the manner in which | had been
treated by Tillman. One sentence in
that interview led the public to think
that contemplated making personal
attack on Tillman the first time we
met. Now, 1 denounced Tillman as
lying like dog, and l desire to relter'
ate and emphasize that statement. But
am neither bully, an assassin or d
murderer, and have no intention oi
making personal assault on Tillman
or any one else. But / have not any
thing to take back that / said either
during or after the campaign, and il
the race was to be run over again, l
would do just as l have done.".
awe asked Colonel 1rby about that
interview published in the Atlanta
Constitution"
"Why," he replied, "it was a fake;
I was sick in Atlanta with collie, and
got a room at the Kimball house. A
Young man connected with The Con-
stitution called on me, but I was in no
humor to talk, and dismissed him with
few commonplace words. | sup
pose he prepared that interview from
what had already been published. l
had no desire to travel over the coun-
try repeating threat against Tillman
and expending epithets. I gave Colo
mel Ball an interview, which he pub
lished as I spoke it, and this is all |
have said for publication touching the
campaign. But see you are determ-
ined to draw me out on politics, and |
assure you 1 do not want to talk for
publication"

known but Caesar is not less that SO. Heis
a typical old time Negro, and as far back
as the memory of the oldest citizen ex-
tends, has been esteemed and respected
by the people Of York 7ille. This has
been on account of his uniform courtesy,
accommodation, and it Is not at all aniss
to say, almost perfect Christian character.
For the past % years he has been under
the especial protection of Miss Fannie
Miller, who, though herself very i'll at this
time, has on occasion nursed the old Ne

that he is about to leave the scene of bis

duce feeling Of sadness in many SYM

Fish and Fowl.
Here is a true incident giving some idea
of the kind of government that is being
enjoyed by the town of Yorkville. In
the last issue Of THE ENQUIRER, those
who had lost their registration certificates,
were advised to at once go to Supervisor
Clawson and have them renewed. THE
ENQUIRER had looked up the law on the
subject, and could find none; but had
discovered that Supervisor Clswson had
already renewed at least one certificate
during the few days previous, and con-
sidered that as good as law. OE the
strength of the suggestion made by The
ENQUIRER, DR.. j. B. Allison, who had
lost his certificate, applied to Supervisor
Clawson on Wednesday for renewal.
Supervisor Clawson refused to renew the
certificate, and when informed that the
fact that he had issued renewal to an
other party was known, put up some kind
of an excuse to the effect the circum-
stance occurred four days previous to the
election. DR.. Allison proceeded to bring
to bear such pressure as finally induced
Mr.. Clawson to reconsider and fork over
the certificate. AS matter Of fact, how
ever, Mr.. Clawson was acting entirely on
his own responsibility in the whole busi-
ness. His duties as supervisor ceased last
spring, when, five days before the munci-
pal election, be turned his books over to
the town clerk, as required by law. Since
that time he has had no more right to in
terfere with the book than any other
private citizen.

Our esteemed contemporary, the
Johnston Monitor, hastens to explain
that it supported McLaurin in spite OF
his free silver views, because he was
the best man in the race not because
he was the best man for the place in
the state. There are quite number OF
other men whom The Monitor would
have supported in preference to Nc
Laurin had they been candidates. All
very good; but The Monitor will do
well to hunt up and read McLaurin's
old silver speeches anyway.
