4 SMALLPOX SCARE.

Yorkville has just passed through an
other smallpox scare. At least the pre-
sumption is that it has passed through.
The scare was on with considerable force
on Thursday afternoon and until Friday
morning when there occurred incidents
which caused it to subside somewhat
There are no doubt still great many
people who have not yet got over the
shock to their nerves. But to the facts.
Thursday afternoon, about O'Clock,
two Negro women rushed up town and
reported to the authorities that there was
a Negro at Pomp Beatty's house, on East
Madison street, who was down with the
smallpox. They said that he had just
come in from Spartanburg and that he
was broken out all over with the disease.
The story soon spread, and if it had been
to the effect that Cervera's whole fleet had
sailed up Spencer's branch and anchored
at the waterworks, the excitement could
not have been raised any higher. All
kind of talk was INDUCED in about quar-
antining the locality, securing pest
house, putting the entire quarter in which
the disease was supposed to exist under

Union Iron works, at Newport News,
and Cramps. This is the second time
that the government has endeavored
to obtain bids for supplying armor for
these ships. The first effort, made
about a year ago, was unsuccessful,
because the manufacturers refused to
take the price that had been fixed by
congress. The present naval appro-
priation bill having increased the price
ialowed to S40O per ton, Tuesdays
effort was successful. For the Illinois
the two armor companies, Bethlehem
and Carnegie, divided their bids, one
taking the lighter armor and the other
the heavier. For the Alabama the
Bethlehem company bid S1,o22,5O4,
while the Carnegie company did not
bid. For the Wisconsin the Carnegie
company bid S1,O29,5O4. The rate in
each case was S400 per ton fiat for
bolts and armor, the maximum amount
allowed by congress. The Bethlehem
company undertakes to begin deliver
les of the armor within seven months
after contract, and to supply 300 tons
monthly. The Carnegie company will
begin December l, next, and supply
the same amount monthly"

NOT MUCH POLITICS.

There is less political talk going on just
now, probably, than there has been for g
number of years at any time so close to
primary election. The primary election
is not close, to be sure but usually at this
distance from it the situation is boiling.
While a number of gentlemen were
sitting on the benches at the courthouse
yard the other afternoon, one of them
remarked that he had been on long trip
up through the Glover and Bethel coun-
try, and he did not hear politics mention
ed, except in the shape of a question as to
the probable chances of single candid
ate whose name was not mentioned.
The reporter has made no especial in
quiry into the matter; but so far he has
picked up absolutely nothing as to the
probable candidates for the house this
summer. That the present members will
all be candidates for reelection is proba-
BILE. At least there is nothing to the con-
trary, and there may be others; but ii
there is any talk in that direction it is not
general.
The only races in which there appear to
be enough entries, so far, to make the
situation especially interesting, are those
for auditor and supervisor. The condi-
tions III both these races are already OF
such a character as to furnish food fol
speculation but it is too early to specu-
late yet, for the reason that there may be
still others.
While people, however, are not talking
politics, that is no reason for assuming
that they are not interested. The wal
excitement some weeks back overshad-
owed everything, and then the farmers
became so busy that they have not had
an opportunity to do much talking. But
no one need fear that any of the offices
are going by default. The subject will
receive due attention in due time, and
when the election comes off this summer,
it will be found that the voters know how
to express themselves as intelligently as
ever.

DEATH OF COLONEL BARRON.

A Manning special of the 23d to tht
Columbia State, has the following abou
Colonel B. P. Barron, whose death wa.
mentioned in the last issue of THE EN-.
QUIRER:
A gloom was cast over our community
this morning when it was announced tha
Colonel B. PRESLEY Barron, leading
and prominent citizen of this county
and distinguished member Of the Man.
ming bar, had breathed his last after ar
illness Of few days.
Mr.. Barron was born in York county,
on May 4, 1910. He attended Furman
university, and about the year 1859 moved
to Williamsburg county and engaged in
teaching school at Indiantown. When
the Civil war broke out, he assisted in
raising the first companies to go to the
front and was elected a lieutenant under
Captain James McCutcheon. He remain
ed in the service until captured in battle,
and in 1864 ne was sent to Elmira prison,
where he was held until the cessation OF
hostilities.
Lieutenant Barron won the respect OF
his captors to such an extent that they
gave him an important clerical position
at Headquarters, and when he was about
to leave the prison, at his request, MIR.
Junius L. Scott, then Of Williamsburg,
now Of Marion, was given the work at
headquarters.
Returning from the north he went to
Kingstree and entered the law office OF
the late Colonel John 6. Pressly; later
he moved to Manning and engaged in
the practice of his profession, always
keeping an office open in Kingstree,
where he had large clientage.
Colonel Barron was married twice. In
early life he married Miss Amelia Snow
don, of Williamsburg, who died in Man
ming. Subsequently he married Miss
Alice Witherspoon, who survives him:
This union was blessed with large and
interesting family of children.
Mr.. Barron was an eloquent speaker,
and his services to the Democratic party
will long be remembered.
Mr.. Barron always enjoyed fine prac-
tice, and he was regarded one of the best
commercial lawyers in this section of the
state. He belonged to the Presbyterian
church, was member of st. Peters
Lodge, A. +. NJ, and Damon Lodge,
Knights of Pythias. He was man OF
fine physique, handsome features, attract
i've manner and always gentleman.

NOT A STRATEGY BOARD.
Secretary Long Says His Advisers DO Not
Hamper Sampson.


Hamper Sampson.
Secretary Long talked Interestingly
on Tuesday with New York Sun re-
porter about that much. criticised body
of officers, the socalied naval strategy
board, which certain newspapers here
and abroad have presumed to be in
trusted with the sole conduct of the
naval campaign. The attention OF
Mr.. Long was called to statement in
the London Times that it would be
wise to leave the direction of opera
tions to naval commanders instead oi
to a board in Washington.
"That shows how little the writer
knew on the subject" he said. "That
is exactly what We are doing-leaving
the conduct of operations to command
ing officers. The freedom Of action
given to the commanders Of squadrons
was shown in the orders to Admiral
Dewey, which has been published.
He was allowed to make his own plans.
A similar case is that Of the movement
against Porto Rico by Admiral Samp.
son. He was allowed to carry out
ideas of his own in attacking San
JUAN"
Mr.. Long explained that the term
strategy board was erroneous. The
name of this advisory body, he said,
was the war board. 1t does not un-
dertake to arrange cut and dried pro-
CRANES for naval commanders to fol-
low, for the department realizes that
an officer on the ground is much better
fitted to do his work well without be-
ing hampered by advice from others
not on the ground.
The war board is not formal body.
1t has no set rules and regulations,
and is not composed of certain num-
ber of men. It's members are officers
in whose judgment and ability the
secretary of the navy has confidence,
and they act merely as advisers. The
principal function of the board is to
collect information about the enemy
and furnish it to the commanders OF
American squadrons or single vessels.
The secretary of the navy is not
bound by its advice, and there has
never been any intention to have the
board determine what Admiral Samp-
son. for example, should do in certain
cases. The board has means of secur-
ing information not accessible to squad
ron commanders, and it considers all
the data and news it receives and trans
mits them in compact form to the
officer or officers to whom they will be
valuable.
Mr.. Long spoke in the highest terms
of Admiral Sicard, the senior member
of the board, who, he said, had been
for six months in command of the
squadrons now operating in Cuban
waters, was thoroughly familiar with
the conditions in that locality, and had
the most cordial relations with Admi-
raj Sampson. Mr.. Long also spoke in
terms of praise of the other members
of the board, Captain Mahan and Cap
tain Crowninshield, and of Captain
Barker, who retired from his advisory
place on last Friday to take command
of the Newark.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1898-05-28

flag of the enemy for purposes Of decep-
know that if this story was allowed to
continue to go unchallenged, it would
find many believers, who could not be
blamed for believing it, rs they have be-
lieved hundreds of other stories just as
absurd. So we inserted a little adver-
tisement explaining how we were not
called upon to furnish free telegraphic
bulletins to the public daily; but at the
same time offering to get the news for $40
week; about the same sum it seems to
have cost The Review, for the telegraph
alone. We announced in the advertise
ment that we proposed to continue our
telegraphic service whether the subscrip-
ton was raised or not, and we also lntl-
mated that we did not particularly desire
the subscription. The fact is, we did not
feel much justified in undertaking all the
worry and trouble in connection with the
matter; but we did want full credit for
what we were doing, and our main OBJ
ject was to nail that yarn which sought to
deprive us of that credit.
Now, it is but fair to say that several
citizens OF Yorkville have offered to con-
tribute toward the expense of such bulle-
tins as we have seen fit to post, and while
we have thanked them kindly for their
generosity, we have not sought to take
ad vantage of it. We do not wish to be
understood here as reflecting upon our
contemporary, The Review. 1t gets news
every day, and good deal of it, and it is
nothing but right that the people who
derive the benefit should pay for it, even
more literally than they seem to be doing.
For what it does, The Review is certainly
entitled to much credit.
Now again, while we have mentioned
some of these reports that are put in
circulation by THE ENQUIRER's loving
friends, we do not want it understood
that we have tried to mention them all.
Dozens of them we never hear of, and if
we should have attempted, during the
past five years especially, to have nailed
all that we did hear, we would have had
no room for anything else.
And our friends need not be worried.
So long as it is practicable to get tele-
graphic news we will continue to do it..
We are not sick or ailing. New subscri-
bers have helped that drain" for tele-
graphic tolls wonderfully, and we have
the "nerve" to tackle almost any kind of
enterprise that seems to require attention.
THE ENQUIRER is not hurting nearly as
badly as those who may have withdrawn
their patronage in the hope of sending it to
heaven. These people, if there are such,
have our sympathy rather than i'll will.
AS long as the people of York county
continue to take newspaper on its mer-
its, THE ENQUIRER will continue to lead
and do business on business principles,
even if those who make the paper should
have to tighten their belts much tighter
than has yet been necessary.

1t turns out that the cutting Of the
cables connecting Cuba with the outside
world has not been completed as stated.
The cable that was cut by the st. Louis
on the 18th, was one of the two leading
from Santiago to Kingston, Jamaica.
Several cables leave Cuba from Santiago
through Guantanamo, and the st. Louis
made something of a mistake in suppos-
ing it was cutting the right one. Messages
continue to 90 from Santiago by way of
Kingston, Jamaica, and Cape Haytien,
Hayti, and Blanco still has communica-
ton by telegraph between Havana and
Santiago.
