JULY WEATHER..

The following is from Our Chester
weather prophet under date of June l6:
II send you predictions for July, as in,
dicated by the signs that appear from
time to time. You may publish, if you
wish, whether they suit the Chester Bull
letin or not. Probably The Bulletin can
tell us why the water in wells so or 60 feet
deep, and less, gets down lower when the
wind blows strongly from the east ol
northeast, and why it rises in the same
wells when the wind blows several days
from the north or northwest. Probably
The Bulletin overlooked that the predic'
tions for June call for rain more or less
from the 1st to the l4th. said the
weather would be somewhat stormy, and
think such has been the case. The out
look for July, as see it, is as follows:
From to 8, warm and windy. From
8, some appearance of rain. From
to IA, thunder clouds and heavy showers.
From Is to 20, hot and dry. From 2l to
Is, changeable with strong appearances OF
rain. From 26 to 81, local showers"

last and all the time, he is a Democrat ;
his idea of Democracy being included in
"equal rights to all-special privileges to
none." After a careful review of the
actual facts and figures of history, he
sums up the tariff situation as follows
"Here we find that two disastrous panics
came under the lowest tariffs since 1916,
and also that two terrible panics came
under the highest tariffs we ever had.
This proves that panics come under low
tariffs and high tariffs. But no man liv-
ing or dead ever heard of or witnessed a
panic when the people had plenty of
money"

THE CATAWBA BRIDGE.

The county board of commissioners
met at Neely's ferry, on Catawba river
last Wednesday, in pursuance of the re-
Gently adopted resolution, for the purpose
of examining the various sites thai
have been suggested rs the best for the
location of the proposed bridge, and for
the purpose of getting information on the
subject generally.
All Of the members of the board were
present, as were also a large delegation
of Fort Mill township people advocating
the Neely's ferry location, delegation
from the town Of Fort Mill advocating
the Harris's ferry location, delegation
from Rock Hill, also tavoring the latter
place, a young bridge engineer named
Allen, and Editor Hull, of the Rock Hill
Herald, and a representative of THE En-
QUIRER.
The Neely's ferry location was exam.
ined first. The point at which the Neely's
ferry advocates desire to locate the bridge
is about fifty yards below the ferry land
ings on either side. On the west side oi
the river, there is granite bluff which
rises perpendicularly to height of per-
haps 30 feet above the ordinary water
level, and the foot of it is washed by the
current. The distance to the opposite
bank of the river is 800 feet, and l55 feet
further on there is q ridge, the top ol
which is in the neighborhood Of IL
feet above water level. Between
the bluff and the opposite bank, sew
eral large rocks project out of the
water, and other rocks, slightly submer-
ped, are to be seen extending almost the
entire way across. That there is a good
rock bottom all along, there is no ques-
ton. The top of the bluff referred to
forms shelf some Is or 90 feet wide, and
extending back to wooded promontory,
which is very probably granite under
meath, and which slopes sharply upward
to height OF not less than so or GO feet in
a distance of say GO yards. The sides OF
this promontory slope too rapidly to per-
NIT the passage of wheeled vehicle in
their present shape; but the construction
of fairly good wagon road to the top oi

Just now, while we think of it, it IS
not out of place to call attention to the
fact that the members Of the county
board Of commissioners are entitled to
especial appreciation for the careful and
painstaking work they have been doing
in connection with this Catawba river
bridge matter. There is not man Oh
the board who is not worth considerably
more than a dollar a day at home; yet
this is all they get for the days which they
give to the service of the county. No
one, therefore, would even suggest that a
money consideration has anything to DO
with their careful and painstaking work.
They have been putting great deal OF
time on the bridge matter; but that Is
right and proper. The amount of money
and the interests involved are too great
be disposed of lightly. Taken all in all,
it can be said Of them that they are truly
faithful servants, earnestly trying to do
what they consider best for their fellow
citizens of the county generally.

- Senator Tillman, on Tuesday, gave no
tice of an amendment he will offer to the
tariff bill providing for a head tax OF
500 on all immigrants to the United
States. The amendment also makes it
misdemeanor, punishable by fine and i'm
prisonment, for any person to enter the
United States for the purpose of engaging
in trade or manual labor without intend
ing to become citizen. These provis-
ion are modified by a proviso to the effect
that "they shall only remain in effect
until silver shall be admitted to our niints
for coinage at the ratio of l6 to l, on the
same condition with gold"

HAMPTON AND MCLAURIN.-Here
is the story of a visit of interest
equally to the friends of a famous
Georgia Confederate general and to
those of famous South Carolina Con-
federate general, says Washington
dispatch of Tuesday to the Atlanta
Constitution
This morning General Wade Hamp-
ton went to the Capitol and called on
Senator McLaurin. General Hampton
aud the new senator had not spoken
in some years, am told !; but the gem
eral called to thank McLaurin for his
visit with other South Carolinians TO
the White House in his behalf.
The two lnnched together in the
senate restaurant and the old ex-
senator, who was so popular as a
member of that body, was given q
right royal welcome by his former
associates.
Then be and Senator McLaurin call
ed on Secretary Bliss and the secretary
confirmed the plan suggested by the
president the other day which was
that General Hampton need fear no
alarm about his hold on the commits
sionership of railroads, certainly not
until he returns from the trip he is
preparing.
The Georgia end of the story is that
General Longstreet will remain at
Gainesville, in the meantime the sala'
ry of the Office going to his old COM
rade in arms.
Georgia Republicans here are not at
all pleased at the turn the case has
taken.

EVANS FOR THE SENATE.
Reported that He Cannot Again Enlist the
Support of Tillman.

Reported that He Cannot Again Enlist the
Support of Tillman.
Senator Tillman refuses to interfere
in the coming primary to decide the
South Carolina senatorial contest, says
the Washington correspondent of The
News and Courier. AS stated in
these dispatches be may have a friend
ly feeling for Ex-Governor john Gary
Evans; but he has informed the ex-
governor and his friends that he pro-
poses TO keep hands off in the sera-
torial race. Further developments
concerning John Gary Evans's recent
consultation here with Senator Till
man have leaked out. 1t is said that
the ex-governor and some of his polit-
ical friends held a consultation in the
Hotel Jerome, at Columbia, and the
result was not favorable TO John Gary
Evans's senatorial prospects.
The consultation was supposed to be
strictly secret, but it was evident
that the ex-governor could not con-
solidate the forces assembled. although
all of those present were supposed to
be his friends. Some of the gentle
men who supported him in his race
against the late Senator Earle refused
to commit themselves to him again, on
the ground that they do not believe he
can win. Several reasons were given
for this belief. 1t was claimed that a
fight among the Reformers would be
of no advantage at this time to the Re.
form party, or to the state administra-
ton, which would undoubtedly be
against the ex-governor. Another rea-
SON assigned was the fact that many
Reformers who had heretofore sup
ported the ex-governor would not now
feel inclined to antagonize Governor
Ellerbe, but would prefer to have his
appointment ratified. Those who
took the position, however, final y
agreed to support the ex-governor in
the race, provided he could get sena-
tor Tillman to take an active part in
the fight, and "draw the lines as of
DID," The ex-governor Hurried to
Washington to obtain the active sup.
port of Senator Tillman. The senator
having declined to come to the rescue
of his young friend, the query among
Palmetto politicians is, will the ex-
governors friends who participated in
the Columbia caucus stand by him
without Senator Tillman in charge of
the fight?

Sugar King Claus Spreckles, is out
with Sugar Kings Havemeyer and Searles'
and is doing some interesting talking.
He says that he has quit Havemeyer and
Searles, for the reason that he does not
like their methods, and goes on to make
some comments on the present sugar
schedule. The Sugar Trust, says Spreck-
les, undoubtedly has control OF the sem
ate, and will make millions as the result
of pending legislation. For instance, he
claims that, at the present time, the trust
has on hand raw sugar to the amount OF
between 100000 and 100000 tons. The
proposed tariff amounts to between SIG
and SlS ton, and as no more sugar can
be produced before January, the trust has
a monopoly. "Now," concludes Spreck-
les, "if the senators mean this for a reve-
nue. bill alone, they should impose All
internal revenue tax upon all sugar re-
fined between now and January l, 1S9e.
Then this bonus of SIG or SlS ton would
go into the United States treasury, instead
of into the hands of the Sugar Trust"

Senator McLaurin made speech on
Thursday, in which he made perfectly
clear his position in regard to Protection
and Democracy. We would be glad to
reproduce the speech in full, if we had
the space, for it is well worth reading.
However, such publication is not neces-
sary for the especial enlightenment OF
our readers. Mr.. McLaurin stands just
where The Enquirer has already said
he stood-for the protection of the
best interest of the people Of the
south. Though the article in THE En-

entirely upon our own motion, we could
not even now, with Mr.. McLaurin's full

been known before. This was because OF
the collapse of the trust not long before.
The probability was that the trust might
succeed in a reorganization at an early
day, and, if so, prices would go up. For
this re ason the bridge men suggested that
delay was to be avoided.
Major White suggested that the advice
of the bridgemen might possibly be due
to over-anxiety to begin work.
Mr.. Gwin inq uired into the parliament
tary status of the bridge resolution, and
the inquiry developed the fact that the
board is now committed to an appropria-
tion of $1,000 for the purpose OF building
a bridge at some site still to be agreed
upon.
Mr.. Minis thought that the board had
already given enough investigation to the
matter to warrant final action, and he
thought that if the board was going to
build bridge, that then was the time to
say so.
AS the result of further discussion, it
developed that rights Of way had not
been secured to and from the proposed
bridge at either location, and finally ac-
ton was taken as follows:
Further consideration was postponed
until the first Monday in July, and COM
mittee, consisting of c. T. Crook and w.
H. Windle, and j. w. Ardrey and John
NJ. Spratt, re presenting the two proposed
locations respectively, with the privilege
of calling in fifth man as arbiter, was
appointed to secure rights of way to the
respective locations, and also properly
guaranteed estimates as to the cost OF
