THE SHARON PICNIC.

There was not very large crowd
at the Sharon picnic last Saturday. 1t
had rained hard nearly all the day be-
fore, and the threatening aspect of the
weather on Saturday morning, no
doubt, prevented many people who
would have otherwise been there from
venturing out.
The crowd numbered about 200, in
Guiding a good many ladies but most
of those present were voters. Many
of them were from quite distance
several from McConnellsville; others
from Blairsville, Bullock's Creek :,
Hic ckory Grove and other surrounding
neighborhoods.
The exercises were held in the acad-
envy building, which was comfortably
filled. DR.. J. H. Saye acted as master
of ceremonies, and the Blairsville
string band furnished excellent music.
The programme of entertainment in
cluded a number Of speeches by diff
ferent candidates, and bountiful din
ner of the choicest good things fur
nished by the ladies.
Mr.. T. F. Mellow made the speech
of the occasion, devoting himself prin-
cipally to the discussion of prohibition
and education, both of which subjects
he handled very briefly, but with much
clearness. He was not in favor of
tearing down any of the educational
institutions now established, and wan
ted the efficiency of the common
schools increased as much as possible !;

service of 12 years from 1880 to 1892,

service OF IL years from 1851 10 1877,
during which time he had tried to do
his duty, then of the four years during
which he was retired to the rear, and
of his recall in 1896. If elected he
would continue to give the best service
in his power, and if not elected, then
a good auditor would be turned down.
Mr.. John E. Carroll said that he had
presided over the platform on which
he stood for a period of nine months,
and that if the people did not know
him it was hardly worth while for him
to say anything further.
Mr.. J. A. Tate expressed his thanks
for the pleasant day he had spent at
Sharon, and stated that he was not
prepared to make speech.
Mr.. J. R. Witherspoon did not care
to say anything on the occasion, but
preferred to hold his ammunition back
until later. Mr.. James Cansler occu-
pied the platform for quite while.
After the speaking, the people spent
about half an hour more in social in
tercourse, and then dispersed to their
homes. The best of good order pre-
vailed throughout the day, and not
withstanding the fact that the crowd
was not a large one, Sharon fully
maintained her reputation for the un-
bounded hospitality that has so long
made her famous.

WAR
is RAGING

1t is necessary to keep the plow on the
move, and while the drums are beating
and the air is filled with martial music
and the army is organizing for the front,
we should not become so demoralized as
to allow our farms and various business
es to become disorganized. The soldiers
will fight the war, while we speed the
plow." Let us prepare our lands with
the same thought and care as the general
and his staff prepares for battle let US
SOW an abund crop of wheat, oats and
pease, together with grasses and clover,
and the fields will bloom in all their
glory while the martial music of the war
will be drowned with the fairy.like song
of the birds in the spring, and peace and
plenty will most likely be our reward.
GUANO AND ACID are as essential to
the success Of farming as gunpowder Is to
war, and we have both in almost unlimi-
ted quantities, and we would be glad to
supply those who expect to begin cam
paign for any of the above crops. The
Guano and Acid will show the proper
analysis, and will produce bird-singing
results in the spring. Call and gee me.

Soldier Voters.
There are between rs and 100 sol.

the right to vote in York county, and

Protracted Meeting.
Rev. E. S. Reaves, pastor of the
Fort Mill and Yorkville Baptist
churches, has been conducting pro-
tracted meeting at Fort Mill, and on
last Sunday he baptized six new mem.
bers. He expects to return to York
Vile next Saturday, and on Sunday,
assisted by Rev. B. J. Woodward, will
commence series of meetings at this
place.
b. n. Moore & Co.
Messrs. B. N. Moore and P. G. Nc
Corkle are calculating on doing large
cotton business this fall. Mr.. Moore
probably handled more cotton on his
own account, during the past year,
than any other York county dealer.
Mr.. McCorkle is an expert grader-in
fact, he is one of the most expert in
the state. Both gentlemen have as
much "get there" as is often found in
two individuals, and the probability is
that they will exercise big influence
on the York county cotton market
this year. Mr.. Moore will be located
at Yorkville, and Mr.. McCorkle at
Rock Hill.
Two York Boys.
Mr.. T. B. Lumpkin writes to The
News and Courier from Camp Cuba
Libre, Havana Park, Fla, under date
of last Friday, as follows: Corporal
Mosley Sherfesee, of company H, Sec
ond regiment, Louisiana volunteer in
fantry, and Private Frank Hart, of the
same company and regiment, visited
their many friends in our regiment to-
day. These young men are from South
Carolina, Private Hart being the son
of Major James F. Hart, of Yorkville,
and Corporal Sherfesee, the son of
Major Louis Sherfesee, of Charleston.
They were in New Orleans at the time
the call was made for volunteers, and
it was there they enlisted into the
volunteer army.

CAUGHT AGAIN.

Edward c. Cation, the notorious Fort
Mill township whisky peddler, is in
limbo again, having been captured last
Saturday night by Sheriff Logan, Con-
stable Scoggins and posse.
Cation, it will be remembered, has
already figured in the courts as vio-
lator of the dispensary law. He was
arrested by Detective Newbold, sent
to the chaingang, and finally released
on the payment of a fine. He took
his imprisonment and "disgrace" very
hard. In fact he cried over the mat
ter a great deal, and many believed
he was thoroughly repentant. There
was expressed for him much sympa-
thy.
Shortly after the return of Cation to
his home, it seems he resumed his old
occupation of whisky peddling and
made himself a genuine nuisance
throughout Fort Mill township, and
especially in the town. Constable
Scoggins had been on his trail for
sometime and made several unsuccess-
full raids after him.
Having previously gotten informa-
ton to the effect that he would be
along that way, Sheriff Logan and
Constable Scoggins waylaid the road
last Saturday night, near the old j.
Wilson Marshall residence. 1t was
about II o'clock when Cation came
along. He was accompanied by a
white man from North Carolina named
Tom Boyd, and Negro. The Negro
made his escape; but the two white
men were captured, along with about
two gallons of various kinds of liquors
in pint and half pint bottles, and Is
bottles of beer.
Magistrate McElhaney issued COM
mitment at about IL o'clock Saturday
night, and the two men were brought
to Yorkville to Jail. Neither of the
prisoners had much to say but Cation
has resumed the crying racket which
helped himself so much before.

eft of the companies at the discretion
and under the direction of the chief
of the department and the captains of
the companies.
The suggestion struck all the men,
bers of the council as being extremely
reasonable, and certainly not unjust.
All were disposed to do at least as
much as was requested. Intendant
Carroll said that though he recognized
that while the council had no right to
take water privileges itself, it could
award this privilege to others. Still,
he did not like the idea of establishing
a precedent of the kind indicated.
The town is pretty badly pinched for
money but in case like this, he was
not disposed to quibble about that,
and in lieu of the water privilege fea-
ture, he was willing to make the ap-
preparation SOS. Mr.. O'Leary was
also willing to make the appropriation,
and was willing to pay his share Of
the water privilege out of his own
pocket; but he also preferred not to
concede the water privilege. Mr..
Hope fully recognized the propriety of
showing the fire department consider
alton, and was willing to do it in what
ever way appeared most acceptable to
the members. Neither Mr.. Parish or
Mr.. McElwee could see any objection
to the water concession. In fact, both
preferred the concession to the allow
ance of the same amount in cash; but
neither was disposed to object to which
ever arrangement might be agreed
upon.
Upon motion, it was decided to defer
final action until Thursday night, that
in the meantime the whole matter
might be considered and put in busi-
ness-like form. Although there was
no further definite action of any kind,
when the meeting adjourned, there
seemed to be a unanimous sentiment
among the participants to the effect
that the fire department was entitled
to and should have pretty much what
ever is reasonable.
