HOUNDING NfcOUARY.

During his stay at Marion, n. G., L.
Allen McQuary got out special edition
of the Mcdowell Democrat, and, OF
course, sent copies of the paper home.
In it's last issue, The Democrat publishes
the following, dated Neosho, Mo-, Janua-
ry l, 1898, and signed Sturgis Il Weisell,
editors Neosho Times:
We understand that one Allen McQua-
ry, of this city, who is supposed to be
travelling "Around the World for an AR
kansaw Girl, etc." recently visited your
city and issued an edition Of your paper.
Will you kindly send us copy and also
a copy Of your issue in which you may
have mentioned his supposed trip. Also,
if you know, the towns he visited with
newspaper) in your vicinity, both before
and after arriving at your place. We are
very anxious to know how the craft treats
his alleged trip. By SO doing you will
greatly oblige.
In reference to the foregoing, The DEM
ocrat has the following; all of which THE
ENQUIRER is prepared to endorse:
The letter don't say so outright but the
inference is that Allen McQuary is fake,
at least in the estimation of MessrS. Stur-
gis te Weisell. He exhibited credentials
Wnlcn ueLlohSlIaleu, WethouRnI, pcJohe
peradventure, that his representations
were genuine, and we are 10th to believe
anything to the contrary. He told us Of
enemies he had in Neosho, Mo-, who, he
said, were trying to throw obstacles in the
way and cast odiums upon him. We ver-
lily believe he is travelling around the
world for the "ArkansaS Girl and S5,0CU," /"
and expect him to accomplish the feat.
II he is an impostor, we would like for
Messrs. Sturgis d Weisell to furnish the
evidence. His demeanor, while here,
was evidence Of the sincerity of his rep
reScntatiOnS.

An order was signed by Judge Simon

a reorganization Of the company.
The order of the court is as follows:
A Klepstein & Co. VS.. the Standard Cot
ton Mills ct al.
Considering the question of the appoint
ment of permanent receiver in this case
and governing myself by the statement
that it is advisable to appoint receiver
who can secure reorganization OF the
company, Mr.. John R. London is hereby
appointed permanent receiver, and Z. g.
Poag, heretofore acting as temporary re-
ceiver, will turn over to the permanent
receiver all the assets and property in his
hands. Provision for the payment of the
temporary receiver will be made in the

RODDEY APPROVES.

Mr.. L. r. Williams, president OF the
York County Cotton Growers associa-
ton, has received the following letter
from Mr.. John Il. Roddey, dated New
York, January 7, 1898:
1 consider that the resolutions offered
and adopted at the "York County Cotton
Growers association" show more thought,
intelligence and real business ability
than all the resolutions adopted by the
large conventions held in the south re-
Gently.
While I do not think the cause of the
south's present condition is overproduc-
ton, still do think, that if such is the
case, that your resolutions, if successfully
carried out, would result in great good.
We can never hope for any permanent
prosperity until the south decides that
they will think and act for themselves
in opposition to the concerted action ol
other sections and countries.
Your resolutions, however, are good,
and if adopted by the entire south, would
at least give temporary relief. Still, It is
my firm belief that you are figured al
so much per head, and will receive q
stated amount regardless of the size OF
your crops.
Assuring you of my regrets at not hav,,
ing been able to be with you, with Kind
regards, I am, Yours very truly,
JNo. II. RoDDEY.

ABOUT PEOPLE.

Mr.. VIM. Ganson, of the Ganson Dry
Goods company of Lancaster, was in
Yorkville yesterday.
The condition Of Mr.. F.. A. Gilbert, who
is i'll with grip, is quite serious. He had
a bad time Of it Sunday night and again
Monday night, and at the time THE En-
QUIRER went to press there were but few,
if any, signs of improvement.
The Sumter correspondence Of The
News and Courier, writing under date OF
Thursday, says that T. Allen McQuary
rode into Sumter last Wednesday, and af-
ter few days rest, started for Charles
ton. He has fallen slightly behind his
schedule; but the fact makes no material
difference, as his lost time will be easily
made up in crossing the water.

was not able to see much reason, in behalf
of the board of health, courteously thank
ed Mr.. Brice for his exposition of the law
and withdrew from the room.
The question Of ratifying the health
rules and regulations, as originally adop-
ted, was again raised; but no action was
taken. DR.. White suggested that mas
much as Mr.. Brice had explained that the
amendments Of the town council would
not vitiate the health rules and regula-
ticns, he was willing to accept the regula-
tions as they stand. The other members
agreed that if this were the situation, the
board could do nothing else; ; but not be-
ing organized took no formal action.
Up to the present writing the question
at issue remains unsettled, and the board
of health will probably take definite ac-
ton of some kind at its next regular
meeting.

WHISKY AT TIRZAH.

In the election to be held at Tirzah on
the whisky question, it is quite probable
that the result will be unfavorable to
whisky; but what the effect will be is as
yet IL matter of doubt.
Though the diSpcnsary law provides
that dry towns may establish dispens;lries
upon IL vote of the people, etc., at the
same time there is no provision whereby
dispenslrics, which have been once es-
tabished, may be removed in the same
manner.
OF course, if the state board of control
secs fit to remove the dispensary, it can
do it but in view of Snnnton's holding
that non residents have the right to sell
liquor wherever the state has such right,
the state board may take the position that
it is not worth while to remove the dis
penSary for the reason that the original
package shop, over which the board can
have no Jurisdiction, will remain, and
without competition.
\ number of people at Tirzah are argu-

BLACKsBURa, January l0.-On yester-
day the Presbyterian and Episcopal
churches, after being closed for regular
services for several months, were both
opened. The Rev. Mr.. Newell, of Neck
lenburg county, N. c., preached at the
former, and Mr.. w. p. Witsell, of Wal
terboro, S. c., but more recently from
Sewanee, Tenn, at the latter. The day
was fine and there were good congrega-
tions at both churches. There were also
services i'm the Methodist church in the
morning by Mr.. Cauthen, and at night in
the Baptist by Mr.. Bailey. Mr.. Newell
went from here to Sharon yesterday after
noon and his preaching at both churches
is by special request of the members with
a view to their calling him as regular
pastor.
Mr.. Witsell, who is theological stu
dent at Sewanee, will have charge OF the
Episcopal churches at this place and Gaff-
ney, and will hold services at both
churches every Sunday; in the morning
at IL O'Clock here, and at O'Clock in the
afternoon at Gatf'ney. Also at this place
every Friday evening at 7.3O o'clock. lie
will remain here until the opening OF the
university at Sewanee, which will be
about March 10Th.
Our town council is making prepara-

neighbors, and party of 20 or more
made a round up of Indians. Nc
Geisey was recognized by one of the
older children, and another Indian
named Simpson was identified as a
companion. They confessed, and the
whites voted to burn them at the stake.
They were accordingly tied, billets of
wood were piled up around them, and
they were burned. They endured
their deaths like stoics, except that
they gave the names of four others
whom they claimed to be equally
guilty. At last accounts the mob was
hunting for the other Indians, and the
whole Seminole nation was so thor
oughly aroused as to lead to the belief
that a general Indian uprising is i'm
minent throughout that portion OF the
territory.

ing this way in regard to the matter at
present, and while the reasoning is un-
doubtedly correct, still there is no occa-
sion for discouragement. The general
assembly is now in session and can easily
provide way not only to get rid Of origi-
nal package shops; but also dispensaries,
when majority of the voters are opposed
to them.
1t is to be hoped, therefore, that the
Tirzah people will 60 ahead with their
good intentions and put themselves on
record as 10 longer desiring to maintain
a harbor for the liquor traffic. If by
their votes they express themselves as
desiring relief, it is altogether probable
that, notwithstanding the laws as they
now read, there will be found satistac-
tory solution of the difficulty.

superintendent Neal, of the peniten-
tiary, has made his annual report to
Governor Ellerbe, and according to the
showing, the penitentiary has broken
all previous records. During the year,
Colonel Neal has returned to the sinking

the purchase of the Reid farm, and has
paid into the state treasury SIC, 1000 in cash.
Notwithstanding all this, he still has on
hand the sum of $S,67S.Sl for use during
the present year. While big talk in con-

penitentiary has been common, no other
superintendent has ever achieved actual

WEBSTER Is THE Boss.-The Wash
ington correspondent of the Columbia
Register has the following interesting
story as to the control of Federal af.
fairs in South Carolina
"One can form no conception of the
one-man power of the present admin
istration unless he were here to witness
its practical operation under the ma
chinations of Mark Hanna. This
parsonage, in addition to liquidating
prediction debts has constructed a
compact machine whereby he intends
to have a full Mckinley delegation
from the south in the next national
Republican nominating convention.
For instance, to Webster has been
awarded the distribution Of the spoils
in South Carolina. No man has been
appointed in that state without his in
dorsement, and will not be. Not only
that, but the postoffice department has,
aside from making him sole referee so
far as concerns the appointment of all
postmasters in that state, vested him
with power over the establishing and
abolishing of new offices and postal
routes. The consequence is that it is
exceedingly difficult, if not practically
impossible, for any of the congressman
from that state to effect anything for
their constituents along that line. All
know the meagre facilities in that re-
gard in the rural districts there. The
recommendation of the representa-
tives of the people-and congressman
represent Republicans as well as DEM
ocra,s-are constantly ignored. They
are met with the remark: 'We must
consult Mr.. Webster about that.
But there is Il point beyond which for
bearance ceases to be Il virtue"

and they are rapidly learning English.
Often, without doubt, it is the sort of
English Cables Bonad venture taught
his pupils, but at all events, it is not
French, nor Creole patois.
But il the French language has
lost ground in Southern Louisiana
and New Orleans, the French in
fuence has maintained itself. The
customs and usages are almost. entire
lY French, the fashions French, as
well rs the mode OF life and the holi-
days. The opera is always in French
never in Itiaian. The music is
French, even to the tremolo, and
Wagner IL abhorred. The pain tings
are French, the cuisine essentially
French.
1t is remarkable instance of the
triumph of French ideas, tastes and
customs, at the same time that the
English language has been victorious
over it's Gallo adversary. The
strength OF the language is evidenced
in it's success and the strong prejudice
and patriotism. Of the Creoles and
French.
Even in the Catholic Church
French is losing ground. In the
sugar industry the French or Creoles
have lost much Of their influence, and
most of the large plantations have
passed into the hands off Americans.
They have lost ground in the retail
trade and in commerce generally, but
in the professions, in finance, and in
other branches, they hold their own.
But the old sentimental tie which
connected them with France is almost
entirely gone, and there a:e no truer
Americans anywhere in tho country.

THE PEACE COMMISSION.

The dispatches stated Monday that
the Senior Montero Rios, President OF
the Spanish Peace Commission, had
refused to continue negotiations
The State Department had not been
notified Of the reported refusal OF the
Spanish Commissioners to continue
negotiations in Paris and Secretary.
Alger discredited the report. Unless
the negotiations are continued to a
final conclusion all the work that has
been done will go for nothing as the
proceedings have been 30 conducted
that no one point agreed upon WIS
considered binding unless a complete
treaty was made. In other words the
agreement on each roint as it was
passed over vas tentative, and final
acceptance was conditioned upon a
complete agreement ON all points.
At the meeting Monday the Ameri
can Commissioners declared that they
must have the entire Philippine
Archipelago, and for treaty ceding
the islands the Americans rendered
to Spain s20,OO0,O0O. 1t YVES further
declared that it is the purpose OF the
United States to maintain the Philip
pine Islands as al "open door" to the
worlds commerce. On the terms
named the United States proposes
mutual relinqu lshment Of all claims
for indemnity, National or personal,
subsequent to the outbreak of the
last Cuban instruction.
1t was also declared that the United
States desires to treat on the religious
freedom of the Caroline Islands, as
agreed upon between the United
States and Spain in 1886, and also Of
the acquisition of ore Of the Caroline
Islands for an American naval station
and Of cable landing rights at other
places in Spanish jurisdiction, and
the revival Of certain Spanlsh-Ameri-
can treaties as hitherto in force.
The Americans refused to arbitrate
Article 3 Of the Peace Protocol, bear
ing upon the future disposition and

French Corner In America.

The action of the Louisiana Consti-
tutional convention, recently held in
New Orleans, IN dropping French as
one Of the official languages of the
State, came as surprise to many
people who had never supposed that
French could be an official language
anywhere in this country. 1t seems,
indeed, odd at this distance that the
publications in French of legal docu-
ments and official notices has been a
necessary formality in any State be-
meath the Stars and Stripes. But
the we'll. known persistent inability Of
Creoles to understand English in the
days before the war continued the
traditions OF the past. Since the gen.
eral overturnng Of fortunes and in
tiuence attendant upon the new order
OF h.ngs, the Creole young people
have become more Americanized
They all speak French and English.
or the 134 delegates composing the
recent convention, only Il were OF
French decent, and it is said that
many "Creole families" we're repre-
sented by men who do not speak
French.
The struggle of the French tongue
to maintain it's sscendancy in Louisi-
ana since the annexation in 1902 has
been virile and prolonged. That it
has taken ninety.six years for the
language Of the dominating Anglo.
Saxon race to drive out it's ancient
ingual foe proves the strength Of the
latter. 1t 10 true that there ia still
about, $1,000 Frenoh-speaking men
IN Louisiana, and perhaps three times

they live chiefly in the rural districts,
