Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1898-01-01
NIcELWEE.BIVENS,

Miss Grace McElwee was married at the
residence of her father, in Yorkville, last
Wednesday morning, to Mr.. j. B. Bivens,
of Washington, D. C..
The ceremony took place at 7.3C
o'clock, and was performed by Rev. w.
G. Neville, pastor Of the Presbyterian
church, in the presence of few special
friends of the young people. After the
ceremony, Mr.. and Mrs. Bivens took the
northbound narrow gauge train for Albe-
marie, N. c., the former home of Mr..
Bivens, with the intention Of spending
the holidays there and going thence to
Washington.
The bride is the only daughter of Mr..
S. A. McElwee, of Yorkville, and is
pretty, we'll educated and popular. She
held position in the Yorkville graded
schools, as teacher, for several terms,
and was well-liked by pupils and patrons.
1t was on account of her approaching
marriage that she, some weeks ago, ten
dered her resignation.
Mr.. Bivens is young man of excellent
character and much promise. At present
he holds a handsomely paying govern
ment position in Washington; but is also
studying law, and expects soon to resign
his position with view to practicing his
chosen profession.
In the step which they have just tax en
under such auspicious circumstances, the
young people have the congratulations
and best wishes of hosts of friends.

ANNUAL BANQUET.

A pleasant feature of the holidays to
an important factor in Yorkville's busi-
ness activity, was the annual banquet in
which the Ganson Dry Goods company
recognizes the faithful efficiency Of its
splendid corps Of clerks.
The event took place at the Parish hotel
on Christmas night, the invited guests
including all the employees of the Dry
Goods company, and few special friends
of Secretary Jones, the local manager,
some 20 in all.
Owing to sudden change in the wealth
9r from reasonably pleasant in the after
noon to cold, wet and disagreeable later
in the evening, for time it looked as if
the ladies would be unable to come out /;
but upon this showing Mr.. Jones prompt
ly ordered out conveyances from the
livery stable, and by 8 o'clock all were
seated around the festal board.
The menu consisted of oysters, cram
berry sauce, rice, ham, chicken and egg
salads, stuffed eggs, pickles, celery, crack
ers, white bread, Virginia biscuits, fruits,
pound, chocolate, cocoanut and layer
cake, lemon jelly with whipped cream,
fruits, coffee, tea, wine, etc., all served by
a lively corps Of intelligent walters along
with delightful music.
After the banquet, to which everybody
did full justice, there were number OF
toasts with pleasant impromptu re-
sponscs, and all the members of the gath
ering went away with happy recollec-
tions of the occasion, and especially wish
ing long life and prosperity to the genial
host by which they had been so royalty
entertained.

- Says Washington dispatch Of
the 26th ultimo: The recent tragic
death of Miss Leila Herbert, the
daughter of the ex secretary of the
navy, is given as the reason for the
suicide which occurred today of Miss
Annie Virginia Wells, an accomplish
I'd young society woman and daughter
of Mr.. Lewis s. Wells, a wellknown
attorney. The young woman shot
herself through the heart. with her
brothers. revolver at the residence of
her father, 1911 N street, N. w.
Miss Wells had met Miss Herbert a
number of times and was very much
attached to her. She herself had been
confined to the house for four months
by illness, and this, combined with the
shock caused by the death of her
friend, brought on melancholia, which
resulted in suicide. The deed was
apparently entirely unprecedented,
aud, coming Immediately after Christ
mas festivities in the house, complete
ly prostrated her aged mother. Miss
Wells was 33 years of age and very
beautiful.

the people in doubt. Still, in order to
be on the safe side, the board of health
caused the erection Of pest house
and the suspects to be removed TO it.
At last accounts, the patients were all
convalescent, and the dispute as to
whether they really had smallpox was
still unsettled. Some people are ex-
cited and SOME are not. A large mum.
ber, however. have been vaccinated.
A Charles ston Sensation.
Charleston had Il big social sensation
last week, the echoes of which are
still reverberating throughout the
country. According 10 custom, each
gentleman invited to ball given by
the cadets Of the South Carolina mill
tary academy, was expected to bring
u young lady of his choice. The
choice of Cadet Peterson, of the Unit
ed States training ship Salmon P.
Chase, which happened to be in the
harbor at the time, was Miss Charlotte
Crane, the leading lady in Hoyt's
STRANGER From New York" company,
which played an engagement in Char
lesion Friday night. Cadet Peterson
had just been introduced TO the young
lady, short time before, by brother
cadet who was a relative, and as the
understanding was and is, that Miss
Crane comes of Il Kentucky family of
the highest standing, and her charac-
ter being above reproach, no harm was
thought by Peterson of taking her to
the ball. When the couple entered
the ball room, however, there was
sensation. Most of the ladies were
horrfied. Some of the chaperones
went to the chairman of the ball and
demanded that he request Cadet Peter
son and Miss Crane 10 withdraw. The
chairman refused. Then a chaperone
laid the matter before Peterson's COM
manding officer, who was also present,
and that gentleman was induced to
order the young man to leave. There
was nothing iu the young lady's man.
ner or dress to give offense, and all
the real gentlemen present thought
the whole ,hing outrageous. The
matter has since been discussed by
prominent actors throughout the coun-
try. Some are vicious enough to say
that Miss Crane was Objectionable TO
The other ladies, principally, because
she was the best looking one in the
ball room, and others say that if the
objection of the other ladies was be-
cause of Miss Cranes profession, then
Miss Crane did right in Withdrawing,
because the other ladies were not good
enough for her to associate with.

obsolete in the United States, it ap-
pears to be still in high favor OH the
other side of the Atlantic, says the At
lanta Constitution. In Germany some
1000 engagements are yearly fought
on the field of honor with sanguinary
results. Most of these engagements
take place in the neighborhood of
college towns. Within the space of
"a hours, as many as 20 duels have oc-
Cured in the neighborhood of Jena.
Next TO Germany in allegiance to the
Code Duello, comes France. There are
some 1900 duels fought annually in
France, the participants being mainly
officers of the French army. Italy
comes next to France, with some 275
duels annually. During the past ten
years Italy has furnished 2,759 duels.
Austria, Russia, Spain and Great Brit
ain rank next in the order named.
In Great Britain the Code has become
almost as obsolete as in the United
States. Most of the duels fought on
the European continent are fought
with the sword, though pistols and
knives are used occasionally.

INTERESTING TREASURES.

Even in a little town like Yorkville,
there are many things of interest, the ex
istence of which nine-tenths of the popu-
lation have no knowledge, and which,
when discovered by each individual for
himself, give pain or pleasure as the case
may be.
The reporter made discovery Of the
kind referred to few days ago. 1t was
a pleasant discovery. The word discov-
cry is used for the reason it seems best
suited to convey correct idea of the sit
uation. The things discovered, however,
are half as old as the town, and although
dozens of people have seen and enjoyed
them, they were entirely new and inter-
esting to the reporter, rs they will be to
so per cent. Of the population of the
town.
Everybody in Yorkville, and indeed in
the county, either knows or has heard of
Mr.. J. r. Schrob, the veteran phot0gra-
him intimately, it is true. Being a quiet,
unobtrusive, methOdical old gentleman,
though as social and as kind in his own
peculiar way as any man ever was, he is
not quick to form intimate acquaintances.
That is the only reason why he is not
better known personally. But this is not
the story. 1t is in Mr.. Schorb's studio
that present interest centers.
Mr.. Schorb is one of the oldest, if not
the oldest, photographer in the United
States. He is in his eighties, and took
his first lessons in photography from an
artist who had been initiated into the
mysteries of the art by Daguerre himself.
From his first lesson to the present time,
he has followed every development
through ambrotypes, ferreotypes, and all
other kinds Of types on down to the ap-
parently attained perfection of the pres
ent, with all the enthusiastic interest of
the thoroughly educated scientific student
that he is.
With these explanations, it is possible
to give the reader some idea of the inter-
esting discovery referred to-. Having, as
stated, always been mclhodical, Mr..
Schorb has carefully preserved specimens
of all the different kinds of photographs
that have been in vogue at various per-
iods during his long career, and also many
hundreds of interesting experiments of
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1898-01-01

gin and saw mill; but these are only a
start. For a number of years past, he
has been successfully making splendid
quality of sorghum molasses, for which
he has found ready sale at profitable
prices, and now he is contemplating a
development Of the business on large
scale. Unless something now unforeseen
turns up to prevent, it is his intention to
have in operation, in time for the next
sorghum crop, sorghum manufacturing
plant, the like of which, for completeness
and extent, has never been seen in this
section. And this is not quite all. For
sometime past he has been figuring that
too much money goes out of this section
for plows and harrows; that much of it
can be and ought to be kept at home, not
only to the benefit of Il home manufact-
urer; but to the benefit of the surround
ing country generally, and it is along this
line that he has under contemplation still
other important undertakings.

CHRISTMAS In WAsHINGTON.-The
dullest Christmas ever known is what
the oldest Washington inhabitants are
saying about the day here this year.
The disappointment is general. Fol
lowing the alleged advent of prosperi'
ty, big old time Christmas was the
common expectation. Merchants COM
plain of the small trade, notwithstand-
the unusually low profits. The buying
this year was done by people who op-
pose an income tax. The increasing
purchasing power of their money
brought them big bargains in Christ.
mas shopping. The regular Christmas
day business was a complete failure.
"Old SAM" the veteran oyster
shucker at the leading restaurant in
the city, says it was the poorest Christ
mas he had known in 80 years. And
"Old Dan," the veteran postman, who
has served the downtown hotels for
the last 20 years, says in all that time
hardly a Christmas day passed that
did not net him from S75 20 500, in
presents. This year he said mot a
single nickle did I get, and If this is
prosperity I've got all want of it."
The demands upon the charitable
organizations were in excess of any
thing ever known in the history of the
city. The poor are not only getting
poorer but they are growing oblivious
to the pride that has caused many of
them great suffering and distress in
the past.
A noticeable outdoor feature of the
Christmas tide this year is open and
shameless drunkenness. On Christmas
day it was not restricted to age or
"previous condition of sevitude." "
Possibly it was not in excess of previ-
Gus years but it was everywhere in
evidence in the public streets and at
the hotels. Washington correspond
ence of the Columbia State.

- Although the clubmakers for THE
ENQUIRER have been doing good work
this fall, they have not yet seen every
body. This statement is suggested by
incidents which, to us, have been the
most pleasant of any during the holi-
days. Quite number Of individuals
have called at the office, had their names
placed on clubs and paid their subscrip-
tions, while there have been received a
number of letters saying in effect, Don't
stop nay paper the money for it, along
with others, will be sent in few days"
Such sincere evidences of appreciation as
these make us look back with renewed
pleasure on the many hours of patient
toll during which we have tried so hard
to instruct, entertain and inform. Even
the county newspaper business, confess
edly the most difficult in which any
individual ever tried to make an honest
and Independent living, has its compen-
sations.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1898-01-01

his own. In country where there is
comparatively little appreciation of genu-
inc art, of course, these things may be of
moment only to few; but in almost any
of the rich states of the north, such a COL
lection rs that which has been made by
Mr.. Schorb, would represent an indepen-
dent fortune.
But it is not altogether on account of its
value from an artistic standpoint that Mr..
Schorb has made his studio so interesting.
1t is full of local history, too. The old
gentleman has preserved, if not every neg
ative he has ever made, then nearly every
one, and the number on hand runs away
up into the thousands. OF course he has
not preserved printed photographs of all |;
but these also are innumerable, and here
is to be found the system that prevails
elsewhere. Grouped in frames about on
the walls are the prominent citizens of
the past generation, along with many of
the present generation, and in large al
bum are hundreds of pictures including
many entire Yorkville families arranged
from father and mother down to the
youngest child.
The large album Mr.. Schorb does NOT
show except at especial request. The fact
is, he does not show anything unless his
visitor comes at time when he has leis-
ure and makes known desire to see.
But the book is wonderfully interesting,
and it's funny, too. Its contents embrace
the photographs of many of the most
prominent fathers and mothers of today
when they were little bits of tots. They
had been dressed up by their own fond
mothers in what was then the height of
taste and fashion: but how funny now.
They look positively absurd, and to think
of some of the finest looking and best
known mothers and fathers in Yorkville
as having presented such a homely ap-
pearance away back yonder when, just
after having gotten new frock or new
pair of "brtches," as the case happened
to be, is enough to make them laugh un-
til they shed tears.
But to describe it all is out of the ques-
ton. This writer cannot do it and does
not believe anyone else can, and as he
does not care to be the means of subject
ing Mr.. Schorb to annoyance that will
interfere with his work, he will suggest
that those who may be interested might
take the opportunity, when the old gen-
tleman is at leisure, and see for them
selves.
