POLITICAL.

The last democratic Senator to find
out that Senator Chandler is always
loaded, was White of California. Mr..
Chandler was making a few remarks
on the reciprocity amendment to the
tariff bill, which was reported from the
Finance Committee and adopted by the
Senate, when Mr.. White tried to be
"funny" by asking him if he had been
commissioned by the Finance Commit
tee to occupy the floor until the next
amendment was ready. Quick as a
flash, Mr.. Chandler responded, with an
exasperating smile: "Oh mol l have
been asked merely to occupy the floor
to look out for anything that the Sen
ator from California may say worthy of
notice. AS nothing of the kind has &C.
Cured, will continue TO conflne my
remarks to reciprocity" Mr.. White
dropped into his seat and sought con-
ISOLATION by putting extra vigor in the
movement of big palm leaf fan, while
Senator Tillman, who had received his
dose of Chandler drops several days be-
fore, made no attempt to conceal a
broad grin.
PROBABLY no amendment added TO
the tariff bill by the Senate will give
more general satisfaction than that
which imposes tax on every certif-
cate of stock and bond other than those
issued by the Government, National,
State or Municipal In addition to
raising revenue to large amount
from class who will not find it bur-
den, this amendment, if it remains in
the bill until it becomes a law, as it
probably will, will drive the places
known as "bucket shops" out of busi-
ness, because to fail to pay the tax on
each transaction will be to acknowledge
that they do not actually sell the stock,
but merely accept bets on whether the
price will go up or down, and to make
their proprietors amenable to the laws
against gambling; to pay the tax will
bankrupt them. 1t will probably also
lessen the business done in the legiti-
mate stock exchanges, because the
tax will add to the expense of buying
and selling stock for speculation, but
there are thousands who will regard it
great blessing to the country if stock
speculation as business was entirely
broken up. 1t is business that pro-
duces nothing useful and adds nothing
to the real wealth of the country, while
it annually demoralizes and drives to
the dogs thousands of business men
who might continue to be useful if it
were not for stock specializing.

SENATOR MILLS estimates that the
amount the people will be specially
taxed for in the tariff bill for the bene-
fit of the millionaire manufacturers will
be more than $50 per capita of our
population, or more than $2, 300, 900, 600
annually. This will go largely into the
pockets of already wealthy men.-Min-

RICYCLE PARADE.

The bicycle parade mentioned in the
last issue Of THE ENQUIRER took place
Wednesday evening according to an
nouncement.
The bicyclists-ladies and gentlemen
to the number of 43, assembled at the
residence of Mrs. NJ. H. Nets, and as
the town clock struck the hour of six,
the procession, under the lead OF Dr. A.
Y. Cartwright, started down Congress
street. About the time the head OF the
procession reached the courthouse, how
ever, a heavy shower came up, and there
was unanimous break for shelter.
After the rain, the procession was re-
formed, and the parade was continued IN
accordance with the original programme,
taking in all of the principal streets OF
the town and making show that was
highly creditable to the whole under
taking.
Most of the wheels were beautifully de-
corated-some with flowers and others
with ribbons Of many colors. In some
cases the decorations were confined to
tasteful arrangements of flowers on the
handle bars, and while in other cases they
consisted of elaborate combinations or
colors taking in the entire machines, es-
pecially the wheels, producing interesting
and novel effects.
In spite of the interruption by the rain,
the parade was great success throughout
and enjoyed alike by participants and
spectators.

Miss Sudie Shannon's school at this
place closed last Friday with the usual
'com men cement" exercises, such as dia-
logues, recitations and readings, etc. By
the prompt and efficient manner in which
she discharged the onerous duties devol-
wing upon her in he supervision of such
large school, Miss Sudie gave evidence
of many excellent qualities Of mind and
heart, whi ch were fully appreciated by
patrons and pupils alike.

Several cases Of grip have developed

The whooping cough epidemic is on
the decline. Among the worst cases were
Mr.. Jno. E. Bankhead's babe, which is
still quite i'll, and Mr.. Jno. B. Harvey's
6-months old hid, which Is some better
at present. Doubtless it has ere this
dawned upon the minds of the people
here, that whooping cough Is far from the
trivial character it Is so generally consld-
cred, and more to be dreaded, and guard :

the other prevalent infectious disease OF

orial Day in Montgomery, which
touched the heart Of every veteran in
that city, and which will impress every
one who hears of it, Was the presence
of Mrs. Jackson, the wife of "Stone-
wall" Jackson, and her visit in the
morning to the old capitol, the house
in which the Confederacy was born.
How appropriate it was that she, the
wife of Jackson, who died upon the
woeful field in Charlottesville, should
upon the day set aside by the wives
of Confederate soldiers as memorial
of the dead, be present in the "Cradle
of the Confederacy," to take part in
the exercises. Montgomery was
honored last Monday as she sell
dom has been. The presidents and
may visit her the
representatives of foreign governments
may make her gates the objective point
of journey capitalists may "see
millions" in her future and come to
invest their money; but the presence
of none of these should rival in the
of the people of Montgom-
cry, that Of this widow of the Confed-
eracy, the relict of "Stonewall" Jack
son, he whose nature was as gentle as
a woman's, but whose heart was as
bold as lion's-the irresistible leader
of the great Civil war.

DEATH OF MRS. FAINT.

: Mrs. S. J. FAINT died at the home of her
Mr.. R. J. Herndon, yesterday
morning at 10 O'Clock, of complication
of diseases which have been in progress
since the 4lh instant.
Mrs. FAINT came to Yorkville from her
home at Santuc, Union county, several
weeks ago, and at the time was in her
usual good health. On Tuesday of last
week, she was stricken down by violent
attack of grip, complicated with conges-
ton of the lungs, stomach and bowels.
Under careful treatment she began to re-
cuperate most tavorably; but, on Thurs
day, dysentery set in and fastened the
end.
The deceased was most estimable
lady, highly esteemed in her own neigh
borhood, and by a large number of
friends. She leaves seven living chill
dren, all married but one, and four OF
whom were at her bedside during her
last illness. Her Goth birthday occurred
on last Thursday.
When THE ENQUIRER went to press, It
had been arranged that Mrs. Fant's body
would be taken to Santuc for intermant; /;
but as to whether the funeral party would
go by way of Blacksburg or Chester, had
not been definitely settled.

ON the first page of today's issue, as
one of the most important matters which
can be brought before the people of this
section of the state just at this time, we
give an elaborate compilation of the road
law, prepared for US by ]. S. Brice, Esq
In preparing the article presented, MIR.
Brice has ransacked the Civil Code and
criminal statutes, along with the statutes
at large and brought squarely up to date
every important provision of law which
bears on the subject of roads. Armed
with this compilation any reader of THE
ENQUIRER should be able to answer any
possible question that can arise in regard
to the road law, as surely and as correct
ly as an experienced lawyer, and in view
of the importance of the matter, this pa
per, after receiving a careful reading,
should be laid away for future reference.

into the town, met in the office of Sheriff
Logan last Thursday evening for the pur-
pose of considering ways and means look
ing to the raising Of further subscrip-
tions.

harmonious discussion, action was taken
to the following effect:
Resolved, that we raise in the town OF

amount of $1,000,
2. That upon the raising,of the amount
specified, the sum be divided into two
equal parts, and the separate amounts be

aggregate supplemental subscriptions.
8. To facilitate the raising of the
amounts herein provided for, the chair
appoint a committee of four to solicit
subscriptions from the citizens of the
town.
Upon the adoption of resolutions to the
above effect, the chair appointed as a

individual citizen of the town for help in
the proposed undertaking.

Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
BLAcKsBURa, May IA gentle rain,
which began on Wednesday evening and
lasted until Thursday noon, has been OF
great benefit to the growing crops, espe-
cially to the small grain. There is now a
pretty fair prospect Of a good yield OF
oats, and wheat, unless it is injured by
rust, of which there is some complaint,
promises an average crop.
Considerable interest is being felt in the
contest for the postoffice just now, by two
of our citizens the present incumbent,
Mr.. J. NJ. Guyton, and Mr.. M. M. Free
man. Both are competent to fill the po-
sition, and no matter which is the sue
cessful candidate, the people will be well
served. A News and Courier dispatch
from Washington, dated the l2sh instant,
announced the appointment of Mr.. Free
man, and Major John F. Jones also re-
ceived telegram to the same effect; but
the matter has not been officially settled
yet, and Mr.. Guyton is still in charge OF
the office.
On Wednesday evening, at s o'clock,
Miss Clare Whisonant was married to
Mr.. Ernest Guntharp. The ceremony
was performed by the Rev. Mr.. Bailey,
of Cowpens, and pastor of the Baptist
church at this place, at the residence
of the brides father, Mr.. Charles Whiso-
nant, in the presence of few invited
guests. After the marriage, refreshments
were served, and the whole affair through
out was very pleasant and much enjoyed
by those who were present. The bride
and groom are both well-known here and
both very popular, and will receive the
best wishes of all of our people for their
future happiness and welfare.
A protracted meeting is being conduct
ed in the NJ. +. Church here by the
PASTOR Rev. Mr.. Cauthen, assisted by
Rev. Mr.. Thacker, of Hickory Grove.

The WAR IN The EAST.
Greece Accepts Mediation and the Powers
Are Comforting.

Greece Accepts Mediation and the Powers
Are Conferring.
The dispatches of the past few days
about the war in Greece have not told
of any new battles Of importance.
Just now it seems that active opera
tions are practically suspended but
as to Just what the meaning of the
situation is, cannot be told with GER
tainty.
A few days ago the European pow
ers notified Greece that if she would
withdraw her troops from Crete, and
agree to stand by whatever arrange.
ment might be arrived at, they would
undertake to arrange the existing diff
ficulty with Turkey. Greece signi6ed
her willingness to withdraw her troops
from Crete and entrust her interests
to the powers.
As the next step, the powers notified
the sultan that Greece had accepted
the terms proposed and asked that he
at once arrest the progress OF the
Turkish troops and consent to All
armistice. The sultan has not yet
formally replied to the proposition of
the powers; but the understanding
from high Turkish authorities is to the
effect that the Turkish government
prefers to negotiate directly with
Greece, and unless this is permitted,
the demands against Greece will be
much more exacting than otherwise.
1t is claimed that as one essential basis
of settlement the Turks demand an
indemnity of SIS, 100000 and the right
to occupy Thessaly until the indemnity
is paid.
The papers of yesterday contained
information that the Turkish army,
under Edhem Pasha, wus investing
the town of Domokos, and that the
Greeks, having about decided that
they could not hold the town, had
about decided to retreat back to Their
mopolae. The fact that the Turks
were continuing to push onward, was
taken as an indication that the sultan
had not yet agreed to the demands OF
the powers, and it further developed
that the Greek government had sent
orders to various European cities for
horses and munitions of war.
Within the past few days it has de-
veloped that in addition TO the troops
already in the field Turkey has raised
an immense army in Asia Minor and
taken altogether the armies of the
sultan now number over half million
of men. This development is said to
be the occasion of much surprise
throughout Europe, especially in Rus
sia. The general opinion was that
Turkey had already expended almost
every possible energy in the struggle
now going on, and that the army now
operating against the Greeks practi-
cally represented her entire strength.
The tremendous vitality unexpectedly
brought into sight however, has put
rather different phase on the situation,
and the powers are looking on things
in serious light.
Though it may be that all difficulties
will be adjusted within the next few
days, that such will be the case is by
no means certain. Either the sultan
on the one hand or the powers on the
other will have to back down from
present positions or there will be trou-
BILE.

Although the decision Of the United
States supreme court in the Agricultural
Hall case does not validate the repudiated
Blue Ridge script, it certainly puts the
state into ticklish position. BY the
terms of the original agreement, Mr..
Wesley was to pay for the property in in
stallments. The litigation just ended de-
veloped as the result of his rendering
Blue Ridge script for the first payment
He subsequently rendered cash; but now
that he has been put in possession Of the
there is nothing to prevent an
other tender of the script, and the state
will either have to let the property GO
without any further consideration, or
bring against Mr.. Wesley suit that will
fairly and squarely involve the value OF
the script.
