BURNED TO DEATH.

Little Margaret Perdon, the two-year-
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John w.
O'Neal, of Rock Hill, was the victim oi
sad tragedy on last Tuesday, which re-
suited in her death on Wednesday morn
ing.
The sweet little girl was burned to death.
In some way, unknown to her parents,
she came into possession of lucifer
match, and alone in the front yard of her
home, ignited it. Her clothing caught
fire, and when help, which was attracted
by her screams, came, she was almost
completely enveloped in flames. Notwith-
standing the most careful attention, it
soon became apparent that her case was
hopeless, and on Wednesday she died.
Little "Perdon' has been a frequent
visitor to Yorkville, at the home of her
uncle and aunt, DR.. and Mrs. c. NJ. kuy-
kendall, and being peculiarly bright and
lively little to-, attracted much attention
from those of our people who are espe-
cially fond of such interesting children.
The bereaved parents and friends have
the deep sympathy of all with whom
they are acquainted.

earned living and did good service to
his fellowlnen as a trained nurse.
For sometime previous to his death,
Mr.. Jefferys was located at Dyson, n. c. ;
but on account of the encr0achments OF
the disease to which he had long been
subjected, several weeks ago came to the
home of his sister, who nursed him with
tender care to the end.
Mr.. Jefferys was married; but his wife
died some twenty-five years ago, and
since that time he has been alone in the
world. The interment took place in the
old Methodist cemetery, Yorkville. on
Thursday.

MIR. THOMPsON's COTTON.

Mr.. E. D. Thompson, Of Point, has
sent THE ENQUIRER sample stalk from
his pet acre of cotton, together with the
following letter Of explanation:
This is the stalk from which the limb
sent you, a few days ago, was cut. AT
the time it was pulled up, there were on it
76 grown bolls, and had it not been pull
ed up, am sure that it would have ma
tured that many more. If you will ex-
anime the stalk closely, you will notice
that the bolls Of cotton grew from the
limbs after the limbs had been formed.
This is something peculiar. Usually, the
bud forms on the end of the limb, and
the limb grows on past to form another
bud while the first is developing. All
through my cotton, however, have no.
ticed full grown bolls along the limbs at
regular intervals with half grown bolls
between. I have been close observer OF
cotton for 20 years, and this is develop
ment that is entirely new to me-"
Having no cotton expert on its staff,
THE ENQUIRER is not able TO fully ap-
preciate the above; but we publish it for
the benefit of those who are familiar with
the subject.

NEED OF THE ARMY.

General Nelson 4. Miles, commander of
the United States army, is quoted as say
ing that there should he detachment of
troops at Chicago, and in every other
city of the United States in which there is
a sub-treasury, for the protection of mon
ey belonging to the government.
This and all other utterances OF Gener-
al Miles, seems to indicate that he is ex-
tremely anxious to create an impression
that there is some real necessity for his
little army.
Once upon a time, on the streets of Phil
delphia, an American citizen pointed out
to an Englishman an unattended pedes-
tran as President Washington. "Where
is his body guard ?" asked the English
man in surprise. "Here," replied the
American proudly, humping his breast.
And so it is with the United States treas
ury. 1t is guarded by 10000, 900 American
citizens. There are burglars amongst us
who would attack it; but never mob.
For protection against burglars, police
suffice. Soldiers are not necessary.
But we are not surprised at General
Miles. Necessarily he is military. AL
though composed of the best and bravest
fighting men on earth, when fighting is
necessary, this is not military nation.
Miles evidently does not appreciate the
fact that his little army is not intended
either for otfense or defense. 1t is merely
a nucleus-a skeleton of an organization
around which the real soldiers of the
country will rally on occasion.
A larger army, such as is desired by
General Miles, means less liberty. The
people of this country think more Of lib
erty than they do of the treasury, and
notwithstanding General Miles and others
who may think as he thinks, it is not
likely that larger army will be toler-
ated,

The Charleston and Columbia daily pa
pers of Thursday contain the following
paragraph:
Sixth circuit-York county. City Coun-
Gil of Greenville, respondent, vs.. G. G.

Opinion by Ira B. Jones, A. J. concur,
Henry McIYer, G. J. I dissent, Y. j.
Pope, A. j. / concur, see within. Eu-
gene b. Gary, A. j.
This is case No. 2, affecting G.. c. Or
mand, estate of R. ]. Dunlap, deceased,
L. R. Williams, estate of L. K. Arm
strong, deceased. and estate of John
Nichols, deceased, all of York county,
and is known as the Bond Case"
The parties mentioned above were on
the bond of Messrs. Ormand & Goforth,
guaranteeing the faithful performance of
certain obligations these contractors had
entered into with the city of Greenville
with reference to the construction OF
sewerage system, etc.
After the sewerage system referred to
had been completed, there developed
big quarrel between the city Of Green
Vile and the contractors. The contrac-
tors claimed that the city owed them Sl4,-
529.52 and the city claimed that it not only
owed the contractors nothing; but that
they were in debt to it in the sum of 81
1892, for which sum the city brought
suit.
AS the result of the trial in the court
below, the city cf Greenville secured
judgment against Ormand and his bonds
men for the 80, 1892 referred to, and with
the reversal of the judgment Of the court
below, the probability is that Mr.. Or
mand will now bring suit against the city
of Greenville for the full amount of his
claim stated above.
