Governments Silver Purchase.
From the Chattanooga Times Dem.).

This government has bought $464 210, 262
worth of silver since 1878. to coin into
dollars or store away. The stuff is now
worth, in round figures, $500, 100000. and if
1t were thrown on the market the price
would be broken down to 40 cents an
ounce or lower. Had we bought so much
gold it would now be worth what was
paid for it. to a penny.

COURT OF INQUIRY In SESSION.
The court of inquiry, recently called
by Governor Ellerbe, assembled in Co.
lumbia last Thursday and organized
by the election of General Stopplebein
as president.
The court got down to business
without unnecessary delay, and during
Thursday examined large number OF
witnesses whose testimony was princi-
pally to the effect that the militia was
on the college grounds without au-
thority; that the soldiers could have
left the grounds without interfering
with the ball game that General Watts
ordered the troops to advance with
fixed bayonets, etc.
The Watts side of the case was not
reached during Thursday, and the
hearing was continued until Friday
morning.
The object of this court is merely o
inquire into the case, develop the facts,
and make a report. Upon its report,
it is possible that court martial may
follow but this is not necessarily a
matter of course. The court martial
may be ordered or not as the COVER
nor deems proper.

did see that in Mr.. Smiths paper. But
John let me give you pointer. The
pounds they are offering don't weigh 16
ounces. Arbuckle puts up short weight
package and that's the kind they sell.
There is as much coffee In seven OF my
pounds as In eight of theirs" The fore
going is not an imaginary story. 1t is lit
orally true. It occurred in York county,
but not in Yorkville; }; and was reported to
us by "John" who came and got

The ORIGINAL PACKAGE PUZZLE
Suppose you order from New York a

each caramel an original package?
Or crate of beer, is each bottle an

Or suppose you charter a box car
and import that car full of crates of
beer, is the car, is each crate or each

pose the owner of a railroad who lives
in South Carolina sends one of his

In the meantime no change in the rail-
road commissionership will be made.
The president further expressed the
hope that this assurance would relieve
the general aud bis friends from fur
ther anxiety on the subject, and assist
in restoring him to health.
This is very discouraging information
to General Longstreet, of Georgia, who
is also old and infirm, who is said to
have positive promise of the place as
soon as General Hampton retires.
There are several other aspirants for
the place; but the friends of Long
street insist that he has first claim
upon the presidents consideration, as
soon as a vacancy is created. General
Longstreet will have to wait until
General Wade Hampton recovers from
his present indisposition before there
will be change in the Office of COM
missioner of railroads. =

LETTER FROM HOODTOWN.

Recent Heavy Rains-Early Vegetables
Preaching by Rev. G. H. Waddell-
Other Notes.
Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
HooDTowN, June 10.-In consequence
of the heavy rains, there has been no
plowing done in this neighborhood this
week. Monday evenings rain was the
heaviest, according to the judgment of
several with whom have conversed,
that we have had since last spring.
Although accompanied with a pretty
high wind, no damage was done out
side of lands being badly washed. The
crops were comparatively clear OF grass
previous to the rains, and while the
farmers will be kept busy for sometime
getting rid of it, they are by no means
badly "swamped."
Gardens are generally fair, although
somewhat later than usual, owing to the
continued cold weather. Mr.. r. B.
Black is enjoying more varied diet than
anyone I have heard of. He has white
head cabbage and cucumbers in his gar
den. Others have cabbages also, and
beans are now quite plentiful.
Mr.. H. Z. Hood went over to Gaffney
last week to see Mr.. G. E. Hoods babe,
which was seriously i'll; but at the last
report was convalescing.
Rev. G. H. Waddell, superintendent of
the Epworth Orphanage at Columbia,
will preach al Shady Grove church on the
third Sabbath in this month, at II O'Clock
q. IN.
DR.. w. A. Hood is having the painters
brush applied to his sdwelling. Also other

SILVER BEFORE ALL ELsE.-More

SILVER BEFORE ALL ELsE.-More
than one hundred delegates, repre-.
senting 80 states, were present at the
first meeting Of the provisional com
mittee of the National Republican
party, at Chicago, few days ago.
Former Senator Dubois, of Idaho, was
made chairman of the committee, and
the following declaration of principles
was adopted:
The Silver Republican party of the
United States favors the immediate estab-
lishment of bimetallism by the indepen-
dent action of the United States, through
the free coinage of both silver and gold at
the ratio of l6 to l, and the clothing OF
both metals equally with every attribute
of full money, with the right to every
debtor to choose which coin shall be the
basis of payment. The achievement of
this great object Is deemed by us of para
mount political importance, and shall
form the controlling motive Of our politi-
cal action until 1t Is accomplished.
A national executive committee,
consisting of seven members, is to be
appointed, and this committee is to be
authorized to call a national conven-
ton.

PLEADING FOR HAMPTON.
Tillman Heads u Delegation In the In
terest of the Old General.

Tillman Heads q Delegation In the In
terest of the Old General.
General Wade Hampton is to retain
the Office of commissioner of railroads
until he RECEIVERS his health, notwith-
standing the political pressure of Gen.
eral Longstreet and his friends to secure
his removal, says Washington dis
patch of Wednesday to The News and
Courier. Just before the president left
the White House today to start for
Nashville, he received visit from
Senators Tillman and McLaurin, and
Representatives Latimer and Stokes, of
the South Carolina delegation. They
called to urge the presidentto retain
General Hampton in Office.
Owing to the political complications
in South Carolina, it happens that
every member of the delegation was
politically and personally hostile to
General Hampton. They are not
even on speaking terms with the great
cavalry general of the late ConfeGera-
cy. 1t, therefore, occasioned consid-
cradle surprise and comment in the
South Carolina colony when it became
known that Senator Tillman had
headed a delegation to 60 to the
White House in behalf of his old po-
litical enemy, General Hampton. Sen
ators Tillman and McLaurin informed
the president that they called in the
interest of General Hampton, withc 1t
his knowledge, and without solicit a.
ton from any of his friends. They
appreciate the fact that General
Hampton is old and feeble, and that
he is an historical figure in the state
of South Carolina. In the circum-
stancess ssthey felt justified in request
ing the president to reappoint him, if
possible, or to retain him in service
until he recovers from his present in
disposition.
President Mckinley received the
South Carolina congressman with his
usual courtesy, and heard all they had
to say about General Hampton. In
reply, he said he could not promise to
reappoint General Hampton at this
time, although it might have been
made in the same way at an early per-
iod in the present administration. He
assured the delegation that he had no
intention of removing General Hamp-
ton at present but proposed to con-
tinue his services until he has ample
opportunity to recover his badly shat.
tered health. The president said he
understood that General Hampton con-
templated taking long trip to Cali
fornia and other parts of the country,
with the hope of benefting his health.

WAITS FROM WARREN.

Successful Meeting-Wheat and Ost Crops
Failure-Fourth of July Picnic-On
the Sick List.
Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
WARREN, June s.-The past week has
been showery; but this morning every
thing looks bright and refreshing. AS
soon as the ground dries farmers will be
quite busy.
Our protracted meeting closed last Sun
day morning. Bros. Harris and Young
did some earnest preaching, and consid-
erable interest was manifested. We hope
the seed sown will yield an abundant har-
vest.
Mrs. Julia Kidd, who has been quite
sick for the past week, is up again.
understand that there are a few cases
of chills and fever near Smiths Turnout,
a few miles below here.
We had light fall Of hail last week ;
but not enough to do any damage.
Small grain is now being harvested
with the result that I have already indi-
Gated. Oats are almost a complete failure,
and large per cent. of the wheat is only
fit for forage for the stock.
Cotton lice are making their appearance
on several farms in this section. They
did great deal of damage last year, in
places killing it out almost entirely.
AS the 4th of July this year comes on
Sunday, we will have our annual picnic
on, Saturday, the Sd of July, instead.
The place decided upon is the background
near Antioch church. Everybody is in
vited to attend with well-filled baskets,
and if the editor of The ENQUIRER will
come down, he is hereby promised plenty
to eat and an abundance of good black
jack water to drink.
Master Clarence Parish, son Of Mr..
William Parish, has been confined to his
bed for several days with some kind of
kidney trouble. s. K. ].

Laurens Reformers Ask That Tillman Be
Investigated.
Columbia Register Thursday.
The following has been directed to
Governor Ellerbe by petitioners from
Laurens county:
To His Excellency Gov. w. H. Ellerbe !:
Many of the newspapers of the state are
charging Senator Tillman with receiving
dispensary rebates, and Senator Tillman
having in his recent letter made formal
demand upon your excellency for all "im-
mediate" investigation now, we, as Re-
formers, call upon you to order an imme.
diate investigation. If after fair and
impartial trial Mr.. Tillman is found
guilty let him bear the odium and shame
that will necessarily follow. If on the
other hand he is adjudged not guilty let
the same newspapers who have made the
charges do Senator Tillman justice by
correcting their charges, and proclaiming
him an innocent man, severely prosecu-
ted. This we believe the press through
out the state will do.

Governor Ellerbe has heretofore no.
ticed calls for investigations, but he
has stated quite recently that he did
not see how such an investigation
would amount to anything, as il
would be utterly impossible for the
committee of investigation to get the
whisky drummers or dealers here un.
less they would come of their own ac'
cord. However much great respect
he has for the 'pinion of such good
reform ers as the petitioners, it is not
likely that any investigation will be
ordered.

For AN EXPORT BoUNTY.-Senator
Cannon, of Utah, offered an amend
ment to the tariff bill on Wednesday
proposing an export bounty on wheat,
cotton and other crops. The bounty
proposed, he estimated, would amount
to about $50, O,0OO,O 900 year. Senator
Tillman made a speech on Thursday
in support of the bounty; but, upon a
vote, the proposition was defeated by
large majority. Senator Tillman
voted for the bounty and announced
that Senator McLaurin, who was ab-
sent, would have also voted for it had
he been present.
