NEXT PRIVATE SECRETARY.
MIR. Perry Heath to Fill That Position
for Mr.. Mckinley.

Upon the authority of private adv.ces
from Canton and Of close Ohio friend os
Perry S. Heath il was stated today, with
a good deal of positiveness, that President
eject Mckinley has settled upon Mr. Heath
for private secretary. Joseph p Smith, it
is said, is to be given some other Office
equally as good. perhaps that of marshal of
the District of Columbia SO that he has not
been counted an active candidate for pri-
vate secretary. AS James Boyle, who has
been McKinley's secretary ever since the
latter was inaugurated governor of Ohio in
January. 1892, is desrous to go abroad. he
also leaves the field, and Mr.. Heath re-
maining unopposed. will be the one to bear
the honors. Mr.. Boyle having been born
and reared In England probably will be sent
to Bradford as consul to succeed ClalIJ
Meeker. Mr.. Heath is born diplomat and
will make an excellent private secretary.

conditions. They 60 on the theory that
because the north has rode the south lik 9
an old man of the sea in the past, by
means of the same laws it can continue to
do so in the future.
Conditions in the south are not exactly
as we would like them. Free coinage of
silver, or some other currency legislation
of the same effect, would afford material
help but Mckinley and his crowd, to
the contrary Notwithstanding, we have
no cause for uneasiness. The south still
has in it's immense cotton crop, the basis
of two-thirds of the entire business of
the country, and learning each year to
make for itself the utmost of this ad-
vantage, holds the key to the situation.
The pursuance of the Mckinley policy
is calculated to only still further aggra-
vate the perplexing problems which now
confront the northwest, while, in our
opinion, economic conditions in the south
were never so favorable as now for the
opening of an era of genuine prosperity
for which we will owe no thanks to Nc
Kinley and his crowd, and which this
crowd, even if it desires. will find it i'm
possible to check.

A DESPERATE FORGER.

The Gastonia Gazette of Thursday gives
the following account of the capture of a
York county Negro in Gastonia, on the
charge of forgery, on the 9th instant:
There was lively scuffle last Friday
night at Messrs. Edgar Love & Co.'s store
between Sam Pegram, a desperate South
Carolina Negro, and the store force, as
sisted by Mr.. Tom Craig. The Negro
had been getting money on orders forged
by himself on Mr.. jeff Rhyme. The
clerks had all been notified to keep look
out. Friday night Sam come in with an
other order. Mr.. Flem johnson took the
tall fellow by the arm, saying, You are
the man we want; we've been laying for
you" There was lunge or two to get
away, and the next moment Mr.. johnson
was looking down pistol barrel. He
knocked it up just as Mr.. Craig Joined
the mixup. The weapon was then thrust
in Mr.. Craig's face. It was knocked up
again. In another moment the despera-
do was across the counter with his wind
shut off. A few blows in the face with
the butt of the pistol subdued him. In
his pocket was found a memorandum
book from which the orders had been
torn, the paper being the same and ruled
both ways like the orders. He was sent
to Jail Saturday on charges of forgery,
assault with intent to kill, and carrying
concealed weapons. He has since been
released on bond, his father, Milton
Pegram, becoming surety.

A CURSE TO THE COUNTRY.

Rev. B. H. Grier, pastor Of the Asso-
ciate Reformed churches Of Yorkville
and Tirzah, though not at all surprised,
is very much disappointed at the failure
of his efforts to secure the abolition OF
the Tirzah dispensary.
81 did not undertake the work on my
own notion" said Mr.. Grier to the re-
porter on Thursday; "but rather at the
instance of good people of the neighbor
hood, who were anxious to see the dis
pensary removed.
81 have had people, good, substantial
citizens, to come to me and frankly say
that they wanted the dispensary removed
on their own account. They wanted to
get rid of the temptation. Left to them
selves, they are not inclined to use intoxi-
eating liquors to excess; but living there
close to the dispensary, they are often
thrown in contact with friends who insist
that they drink, and in this way they use
more liquor than they would otherwise.
They say that the situation is such that it

McKINLEY PROSPERITY.

The most surprising thing about the
northern protectionists, is the fact that
they are unable to realize that they
can no longer suck the lifeblood out
of the south by means of tariff laws.
For the first 20 years after the war,
during which time this section bought
it's corn and meat from the northwest,
and paid heavy tariff tax on all the
manufactured articles it had occasion
to use, the big sum of from $500, ,OOO,-
900 to OO,OOO,OOO it annually received
for it's cotton crop, was fat picking es-
pecially for the northeast.
But close students Of political econo-
my will find that with the levy OF
the extra heavy pension burdens some
half-dozen years back, conditions began
to change. In self-defense the south
began to take fewer northern manu-
tactures and less of northwestern corn
and meat, and the hard times through
out the sections mentioned dates from
the Inauguration Of this enforced policy.
The truth about the matter is, that the
south has been supporting almost the en-
tire country ever since the war. She has
just begun to realize that she does not
have to continue to carry this load unless
she so desires, and she is about to shake
it off.
The mistake that President Mckinley
and those who think with him are
making, is a failure to realize changing
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1897-04-17

is almost impossible to withstand the
temptation, and they are doubly anxious
to get rid of the dispensary for that
reason.
Besides this" says Mr.. Grier, "the
dispensary is having bad effect on the
boys and young men growing up in the
neighborhood. They are subjected to all
kinds of temptations, and it is on their
account and on account of their mothers
and fathers, that something ought to be
done."
Mr.. Grier says that he once thought the
dispensary was an improvement on the
barroom system, in that its influence for
evil was less but now he is doubtful.
The dispensary is better i'll some respects
but in others it is great deal worse. In
the case of the saloon, most Of the liquor
was sold by the drink, and the injury was
only to frequenters of saloons. But every
man who buys from the dispensary is
required to buy more than is necessary
for the quenching of his immediate
thirst, and he uses the surplus as temp
tation to others who would have other
wise been in no danger.

TIRED OF LIVING.

John Hart, the Negro prisoner who was
convicted at the recent term of the court
of general sessions of assault and battery
of high and aggravated nature and re-
sisting arrest, is in the dumps.
For several days past he has beer
taking things rather gloomily, and few
days ago be asked for some laudanum
He claimed that he wanted the drug te
take for collie, or some other disorder; but
the sheriff was somewhat suspicious and
the request was refused.
On Tuesday last, Negro employe
about the Jail was in the prison with
bottle of spirits of turpentine. Hart ask
ed for the bottle, saying that he was ir
need of few drops. Suspecting moth
ing, the employe handed over the bottle,
and Hart drained it of its contents at
swallow. 1t is said that he took at least a
gill of the fiery liquid.
When Sheriff Logan learned about the
matter; he was very much concerned lest
the Negro might die, and made inquiry Of
physicians as to the probable effects Of
such dose as Hart was supposed to have
taken. The physicians gave it as their
opinion that while the dose was rather
dangerous one, it would not necessarily
prove fatal.
Hart has been growing worse since
Tuesday, probably as the effects of the
turpentine, and yeste rday morning ne
had considerable fever. DIR. Says came
from Sharon in answer to telephone
message from the sheriff, and found Hart
suffering considerably.
''You might have killed yourself, with
that stuff" remarked the doctor.
"Thats just what I wanted" said
Hart.
"Well, you idiot you, why did you not
send for me at first, and let me give you
something that would take you off with
out so much pain ?"
"Can't you give it to me now doctor %
"Will you take it?"
eyes," replied Hart.
Realizing that Hart was really in earn
est, DIR. Saye did not pursue the subject
further; but proceeded to write a pre-
scription for the alleviation of the poor
fellows pain. DR.. Saye does not think
that Hart is in any immediate danger ex-
cept possibly from some further attempt
at suicide.
