Cotton Growers Convention.
A mass meeting of the cotton grow
ers of York county was held in the
courthouse last Monday pursuant to
the recent call of President Wilborn,
and delegates were elected to the
State convention to be held in Colum-
bia on September 20, as follows:
Messrs. ]. L. Moore, W. N. Elder,
w. J. Miller. Messrs. J. G. Anderson,
J. Frank Ashe and R. G.. Garrison

He Buried the Hatchet.
The fact that peace and unity now
prevails in York county politics was
pointedly illustrated in remark that
Mr.. James B. Wood, one of the most
uncompromising Reformers in the
county, made to the reporter a few
days before the first primary: 81 have
buried the hatchet this year." said Mr..
Wood, "and to prove it, I am going to
vote for Tom Mellow and Norman
Elder. The result of the election
generally shows that the hatchet has
been buried
Let Us Have Good Vote.
Next Tuesday, September 13, comes
the rub. AS one of them remarked to
the reporter few days ago, the can
didates have been "thinned down to
stand" In each case the question is
simplified to a choice between two
men. There is more reason now for a
full vote than there was at the recent
election. Farm work is badly behind
it is true; but Notwithstanding this,
the voters should see to it that the
next election does not 60 by default.
Death of Mr.. william Nelson.
The Warren correspondent Of The
ENQUIRER writes that Mr.. William
Nelson, of the Lewis Turnout section,
died suddenly on last Wednesday.
He arose Wednesday morning in his
usual good health, and went out to do
some work about his cotton gins.
Shortly afterward he was found lying
on some planks. He was removed to
his house at once and physician sent
for; but in few minutes he was dead.
Heart failure was the trouble.
Rev. j. C. Johnes, Rector.
Rev. J. G. Johnes arrived in York
vile last Saturday from Newport, R.
l., to assume charge of the Yorkville
parish. Rev. Mr.. Johnes was here
from April % to July 81, principally
on account of his health. He made
such fine impression upon the mem
bers of the parish that they extended
to him a regular call, which he has
seen fit to accept. Mr.. Johnes is a
Welshman but has been in the United
States for about 8 or 10 years. The
Yorkville people who have met him
are we'll pleased with him, and the peo-
pie generally are glad to know that he
is to take up his permanent residence
here.
Sent Back Home.
William Ray, white, who was ar
rested sometime back and put on the
chaingang for Is days for vagrancy,
was released yesterday and sent to his
home at Wilksboro, N. c. At the
time of Rays arrest, no satisfaction
could be gotten out of him as to his
identity, and he was sent to the chain
gang. Afterward it developed that he
was a volunteer soldier from North
Carolina, that he had just recovered
from typhoid fever in the Raleigh, n.
c., hospital, and that with his mind
affected he was wandering about the
country. 1t was not until after his
receipt at the chaingang that these
facts became known. Superintendent
Gordon has been treating him with
especial kindness, and as the result. of
his detention, his mind has been very
