MY QUEEN.

Look down, look down. soft twinkline
stars,
Into my lady's eyes.
Beneath their silken lashes screen
A brighter fire lies
From them light your lamps anew,
Steal all and every ray,
Yet cen amid the borrowed flame
You're not as bright as they.
Shine out, oh sun, III dazzling pride,
Yet never hast thou flung
Gleamings like my lsdy's hair,
AS if with jewels strung.
For every mesh of ripping gold
Darkens ny torch's glare,
Until thou'rt but tgrer's flame
Beside its beauties rare.
Sing out. sing out, ye warbling sirds,
In tender blythescme lays;
My ladys voice is richer far
Than your melod!ous maze.
The music of your softest Tilt,
The witchery of thrill,
Can from my loved enc borrow tone
OF something sweeter still.
Oh, flowers that meet the smiling dawn
Though bright YOU fragrant bells,
The blush upon my lady's cheek
Oat-Hes your garden spells.
Bursting buds and dewitt flowers
Like vassels al her feet
Yield tribute to my lady fair,
My peerless queen, my sweet.
Me. c II. Grugan.

MINES AND MINING,

That by far the greater portion of York
county was intended by nature as a min
ing rather than an agricultural country,
there is little reason to doubt. Most min
ers agree in this view, and they claim that
before many years more, the fact will re-
ceive practical demonstration.
In making this statement, we do moi
wish to be understood as in anyway dis
paraging the agricultural advantages OF
this section, for the fact is plain that the
possibilities in this direction are practi-
cally unlimited. What we do mean to
say is that, great as are the possibilities OF
agricultural wealth here, the possibilities
of our numerous mineral deposits are
even greater.
The principal difference between the
two lines of industry is, that while close
attention and experience are necessary to
the successful development of either, nc
matter how much attention or how much
experience is bestowed upon our!mineral
wealth, it can be made profitable only
by the expenditure of large amount OF
capital. For instance, without money to
develop it, the richest gold mine in this
section is of hardly so much value to the
owner as an ordinary granite quarry.
And even with the expenditure of capi-
tai, without experience, such mine can

SPINNING COTTON.

The Yorkville Cotton mills has gotten
regularly down to the business Of spin
ming cotton. Tie machinery is not run
ming at full capacit. as yet but from day
to day new machines are being started, !,
and within the next few weeks, at least,
every wheel will be turning at its best.
The first experimental work was done
on the 14th instant, and the first finished
product was turned out last Wednesday.
Everything seems to work with entire
satisfaction, except, of COURSE the first
samples are hardly up to proper stand
ard on account of oil stainsr etc. This
trouble, however, is only temporary
Among the families already employed
as operatives, are those Of Messrs- H. M.
Abernathy, c. A. Crow, Bobert Black
man, J. M. Burris, A. D. Melton, h. L.
Howe, J. T. Sexton, w. L. Baber, James
Goings, Nolen Huddleston, - Barron.
Fourteen of the 16 cottages are occupied,
and several families of operatives are liv-
ing about in different parts of town.
Already there are enough operatives to
constitute full day force, and Superin-
tendent Grimes Is receiving new applica-
tions daily from among the operatives of
surrounding mills.
To fill up all the machinery the first
time, requires about 25 bales of cotton,
and with everything running at full ca
pacity, the mill will consume ia the
neighborhood of five or six bales day.

The Negro see med TO be terribly fright

Whitener thought that be was seriously
hurt. Upon examin alton they could find
no wound; but later it was discovered
that one of the buckshot had penetrated
the deck of cards in the Negroes pocket,
and that instead of being injured, the
fellow was only scared.
In the meantime the balance of the
party had already captured Thompson at
the house in which he had been sur
rounded, and the wo Negroes were taken
to the stockade. Both Of the Negroes
are hardened offenders, and have done
service for various crimes before. After
they get through with their present terms
on the chaingang, they will no doubt be
called upon to answer to some charge In
connection with their assault upon Major

OUT AT THE NINE.

A reporter for THE ENQUIRER; took oc-
casion last Wednesday to ride out and
take look at the progress that is being
made at the Wilson Gold mine, some SIX
miles northeast of Yorkville.
There has been considerable chem
in the surroundings since the last visit re-
ported some months ago, and there now
seems to lack but very little development
until operations will be still more in
teresting..
ALI arrangements for hoisting ore were
completed several weeks ago, and since
that time the work has been going on
night and day. The latest improved
steam pumps and hosting appliances are
keeping a l2O foot shaft clear of water
and taxing out ore at the rate of about 1O0
buckets Of some 500 pounds each every "a
hours.
The stamp mill is not yet in operation,
but it is expected that it will be ready to
go to work within the next 30 days. In
the meantime work is also progressing on
the chemical laboratory and assay Office,
both of which necessary departments
promise to be in readiness for the starting
of the stamp mill.
The mine is at present employing 20
laborers; but upon the starting of the
stamp mill the number will at once be
increased to 80, and perhaps very shortly
thereafter great many more
Mr.. C. Z. Codd, an expert from Grip
pie Creek, Col, is general manager of the
mine. Mr.. George R. Shower, of Detroit,
Mich, has charge of the chemical and
assay department, and Mr.. Charles Plum
ner is shaft boss. All of these men un-
derstand their respective businesses thor
oughly, and they have absolute conf
dence in the pretty prospects which
seem to lie ahead.

EARLE is DEAD.
Distinguished Junior Senator Passed Away
Last Thursday:

Distinguished Junior Senator Passed Away
Last Thursday:
Senator Earle died this afternoon at
20 minutes after o'clock, says dis
patch of Thursday evening from Green
vile:
The immediate cause of death was
Bright's disease, which rapidly devel-
oped in the past few days. Yesterday
morning symptoms were not more SER
ious than for the past week, and there
was no fear of immediate death. At
o'clock this morning there was
marked changed for the worse and he
was supposed to be dying. He rallied
later, and although no hope of recov-
ery was entertained. yet there was
hope that he would hold out for day
or two. All through the day he had
gradually been sinking, and it was
only question Of few hours when
the end would come. His strong will
power asserted itself and he rallied this
morning.
During the day there was hush
over the city, as it was known that the
favorite son of this county was in the
shadow of death. All through the
day there was giving away and a rally
following, but each hour the senator
was weaker. Never for moment did
he lose consciousness, but retained his
clearness of mind and accepted the
condition that he would live only a
few hours.
All the members of his family were
with him this afternoon. Gradually
he grew weaker, but he calmly awaited
the end, never evincing any nervous
ness or fear of his impending fate.
The low sobs of wife ard children who
stood around his bedside echoed the
short heavy breathing of the sufferer.
His breathing grew slower, and with
his gaze resting on his loved wife, at
20 minutes after o'clock, the weary,
patient sufferer was at rest.
The solemn tolling of the city alarm
bell announced the death of Senator
Earle. In a short time all the stores
of the city were closed and citizens
were mourning the death of the most
distinguished citizen of Greenville.
No arrangements have yet been made
for the funeral. The time will proba-
bly, be made to meet the convenience
of the usual congressional committee.

EXCITING MAN HUNT.

Two desperate Negro convicts-Berry
Thompson and Roland Smith-gave the
officers of the law lively time Of it last
Tuesday and Wednesday; but were at
last brought to grief.
The men were arrested in Rock Hill on
Tuesday, as suspicious characters, by
Policeman Culp, who finding pistol and
deck of cards on the person of each,
turned them over to Magistrate Waters,
who gave them 2O-day terms on the
chaingang.
Shortly after the sentences had been
passed, Major Beckham secured a hack
and started with the prisoners for the
stockade, near Newport The prisoners
had been tied by Constable j. T. Thom-
asson, and with no thought except that
they were perfectly secure, Major Beck
ham gave them no special attention, until
all at once be saw them crossing field
some distance away-out of pistol shot
distance and running like scared rabbits.
Immediately setting about the work of
re- capturing the escapes, Major Beckhan
finally got them located in Fort Mill, in
which town they were arrested Tuesday
night, and from whence they were re-
turned to Rock Hill on Wednesday
morning, in time for new start to the
stockade.
Before setting out on the second trip,
Major Beck ham took the precaution to tie
the prisoners firmly, this time doing the
work himself. Then the two desperate
fellows were again put in hack, driven
by little Negro boy with Major Beck
ham sitting beside one of the Negroes.
When within a short distance of the
stockade, one of the Negroes got his
hand loose again. Major Beckham drew
his revolver; but before he could use the
weapon, the Negroes grabbed him, and
after struggle, in which the major was
rather severely used, took it away. They
then called upon the major for his money f;
but as he happened to have none with
him, they took his hat. and pistol and
again broke for liberty.
AS soon as possible after this occur
renee, Major Beckham notified Superin-
teudent Gordon, of the chaingang, and
news of the affair was also telegraphed
from Tirzah to Sheriff Logan and Chief
Of Police Love. The whole country
round about was speedily aroused, and a
hot pursuit was inaugurated with the
least possible delay.
The Negroes were followed to the Vi
cinity of the Allison creek bridge, on the
Armstrong's Ford road, where they were
run to cover in house. While the house
was being surrounded, Superintendent
Gordon, Of the chaingang, saw Roland
Smith making for the adjoining woods,
and calling Guard Whitener, followed as
rapidly as possible. Presently Guard
Whitener got chance at the fleeing Ne
gro, and at distance of about one hun
dred yards or more, blazed away at him
with load of buckshot. Smith went

last Monday. Although Chapman is
really in prison, the whole thing is
regarded by himself and friends, and
the general public for that matter, as
very much Of a joke. During the first
two days Chapman was literally be-
seiged by visitors until he had to ask
the prison warden not to admit any
more. The other prisoners are re-
quired to put out their lights at $40
p. m., while Chapman is provided with
a student lamp in a luxuriously furn-
ished cell, and allowed to sit up as
long as he pleases. He gets his meals
from hotel, receives and answers all
of his business correspondence, and is
really acting about the same as if he
were in his Office. Only Chapman was
in contempt of the senate before but
this incident is calculated to inspire
the contempt of the whole public.
