f MI Sayers (Den.) of Texas, in a minute

The expenses of the civil war in 1853 were
81, l00, 900. 600. But the. government was then

RATHER TOO CARELESS.

A distressing accident occurred in
Rock Hill on last Tuesday morning
shortly before daylight, as the result
of which a Negro boy named Britton
Henderson was killed by Policeman
Rivers.
The policeman was on duty at the
Southern depot, and seeing two Negro
boys asleep, walked them up by thrust
ing them with the muzzle of shot
gun he was carrying. In the first case
no harm resulted but while the Hen
derson boy was being punched, the
gun was accidentally discharged, the
load taking effect in the boys stomach
and killing him within few min
utes.
The policeman was Mortified at the
result of his carelessness, and as there
was no suspicion of malice in the mat
ter, the coroner's jury returned a ver'
dict which, so far as it can, exhoner.
ates the officer from blame.

THE 9TH IN YORKVILLE.

The state campaigners have been
having rather small crowds in the
various counties which they have
visited; but the outlook is that when
they come to Yorkville next Wednes-
day, they will have a crowd that will
encourage them wonderfully.
From the reports in the papers, it
appears that the campaigners have
a way of making things lively enough
to warrant large attendance with
out outside assistance but all the
same the Yorkville Wheelmen's as
sociation has the matter in hand, in
cooperation with the Democratic Ex-
ecutive committee, and lively enter
tainment is assured.
In addition to the speaking, other
features of the day will be spectac-
ular street parade, participated in by
young ladies representing the Goddess
of Liberty and the thirteen original
states, and accompanied by a we'll
drilled battalion of young ladies and

would print the advertisement in our

no reply; but along about the same

people of all sorts of color and condi-
tions, pawning heirlooms, clothes,
dresses and furniture. Officers tender
their medals, spurs and swords, and
civil employees offer their tortoise
shell, gold-headed canes, all offered for
a mere song, which are in turn bought
at fancy prices Oy American soldiers,
officers or newspaper correspondents
as relics of the war. There have been
more machetes sold to our men as
souvenirs than were laid down on the
morning of the surrender, and crosses,
service stripes and orders are cheerful
ly parted with for American cash.
About 1000 Spanish troops still re-
main in the city. but the majority of
them will be removed as soon as a
camping ground beyond the rifle pits
can be arranged. The American troops
are being removed from their old en-
campments behind the trenches to
cooler and better spots in the hills
north of the town.

gentlemen on wheels. Then, in the
afternoon, will be held series of BIZ
cycle races which promises to be full
of interest.
Among the entries to the races, so
far are: R. V. Connerrat, Savannah,

At the time THE ENQUIRER had to
60 to press, the time in which entries
could be made had not yet expired,
and a number of other fast amateur
riders were expected to send in their
names. If 80, the fact will be pub
lished in the next issue of The EN-
QUIRER. In the meantime, various
committees are hard at work perfect

INVASION OF CLOVER.

The threatened invasion of Glover,
on Thursday morning, by wheelmen
from Yorkville, took place in accord
ance with the warning published in
the last issue of THE ENQUIRER, ard
resulted in the capture of the entire
invading party by the Cloverites.
About 20 wheelmen-ladies and
gentlemen-made the trip through
the country on their wheels, about
80 went in buggies and carriages, and
about 25 went on the train. In the
aggregate, the party numbered about
rs.
Mr.. John R. Ashe and Mr.. P. NJ.
Grimes were among the wheelfolks,
and Notwithstanding his 275 or 300
pounds of avoirdupois, Mr.. Ashe is
said to have made the trip in great
shape. Mr.. Grimes, of course, got
there all right; but the hot sun, pour
ing down on the party during the
whole trip, was most trying discom-
fort, especially on the ladies.
In anticipation of the invasion, the
Cloverites cleared up a pleasantly
shaded grove near the bicycle track,
provided tables, chairs and a barrel of
ice water, and had things generally
comfortable. The invading party, of
course, fell into the trap, and before a
great while all parties were fraterni-
zing over a big picnic dinner, which
was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
The Yorkville people were so de-
lighted generally with the whole thing,
that they delegated Mr.. w. M. Propst
to publish a card of thanks in THE
ENQUIRER. Mr.. Propst, however, is
of opinion that any attempt to express
in words the pleasure of the Yorkville
people on the occasion, would fall so
far short of anticipations as to be dis
appointing, and, therefore, he does not
care to try it.

reasons. In all of the fighting the
Cubans have been the weaker side
Good Judgment required that they
should infict all of the damage posi-
BILE on the enemy, and at the same
time avoid being crushed. Further
the scantiness of ammunition has had
much to do with encouraging the pa
triots in the tactics of retreat. The
standing orders in the Cuban army.
until the Americans came, were to
stand and deliver one, or at most three,
fires, according to the amount of am
munition, and then break in retreat,
to come together at some other point.
Now that the American commanders
understand what the Cubans can and
what they cannot do, the full degree OF
assistance will be realized"

organized only about two years, yet
Treasurer Ashes report showed q
clearcut net> profit of IS per cent. on
the entire investment, with more
encouraging general outlook than has
yet been ahead of the mill.
After discussion, it was deemed ex-
pedient 20 reduce the membership of
the board of directors to FIVE, and the
following were selected G. H. O'Lea-
ry, S. M. McNeel, E. B. Beard, P. NJ.
Grimes and John R. Ashe. Mr.. Beard
was reelected president and Mr.. Ashe
was reelected treasurer. Mr.. Grimes,
of course, continues as superinten-
dent.
Before adjournment the stockhold-
ers voted thanks to the officers for
their splendid management of the
property. The directors, upon con-
sideration, decided to pay dividend
of 35 per cent.-30 per cent. in stock
and 5 per cent. in cash-reserving a
cash surplus sufficient for the imme-
diate needs of the business.
The report of the treasurer showed
that large amount of available ma
chinery space in the mill is still not
being utilized, and that to equip the
plant to its fullest capacity will re-
quire about S27, 900 worth of addition
al machinery. The stockholders voted
that as business proposition the early
addition of this machinery is very
desirable, and accordingly, by resolu-
tion, they authorized the directors to
take such steps as in their discretion
might be deemed best to increase the
capital stock.
The York Cotton Mills company
was organized in March, 1896, and
the first shipment of yarn was made
in June, 1897. The record of the
enterprise compares most favorably
with the leading mills in the Pied
mont.

- The war with Spain, so far, has
hardly been sufficient to stir the Amer
ican fighting blood. Thousands of
young men who would have otherwise
volunteered long ago have refrained
from doing so on account of probably
erroneous idea that the fighting would
be over before they could get to the
front. But if Germany should happen
to step into this thing and get the boys
thoroughly aroused, the next few
years will witness some shakeups the
like of which the world has not previ-
ously seen.

- When congress decided upon arm
ed Intervention in Cuba without recog-
milton of the Cuban republic, we con-
fess that we were disappointed. We
said so. 1t was because we had a
mistaken view of the situation. We
fully believed that the insurgents were
competent to improve upon the exist
ing government. Recent develop
ments have demonstrated. that this is
not true. Turned over to the Cubans,
it looks as if the island would be pill
laged from one end to the other and
left .howling wilderness. The Gu
bans, the other day, from Garcia down,
seem to have been miffed because they
were not allowed to sack Santiago.
The guarantee of the president that all
non n-combatant citizens, whether Gu
bans or Spanards, are to be protected in
their liberty and property rights, is in
accordance with the American spirit,
and is the best justification of the war
that has yet developed. We are in
clined to honor President Mckinley
more than ever, and it is with pleasure
that we acknowledge that the resolu-
ton of congress upon which aggressive
action was based, is right.

THE CLOVER RACES.

As was expected, there. was anothe
big crowd at the Clover bicycle race
last Thursday afternoon. The occa
sion was another big success, and tn
people enjoyed themselves hugely.
The racetrack has been greatly i'm
proved since last fall but the boy
have not yet succeeded in getting i
enclosed. However, they are still
working on the matter and will, NJ
doubt, raise the necessary funds il
due time.
On the occasion of Thursdays races
DR.. A. Y. Cartwright, Messrs. W. B
Moore and Frost Terrence acted a
judges Messrs. John R. Logan and J
F. Glenn as timekeepers, and Mr.. w
NJ. Propst as referee, and Mr.. Meei

record is as follows:
First Race-Half.mile open. Ri

Won by Stacy in l minute II seconds

Moore second, Kennedy third.
Fifth race-One mile open. Riders
Mccullough, McNelty, Neil, sherrer
Smith. Won by Neil in 2.19. McNel

All the races were exciting, ant
two of them-the race for the boy
and the last race-especially so. Thi
was for several reasons, among then
the fact that there was no opportunit!
for agreements on the part of the ri
ders as to which prizes they shoule
win, and all had to ride their best.
In the race for boys, of course, Hope
Brison came out an easy winner, a
he always does. But the contest TO
the second place was very close. Pau
Neely Moore and Moffatt Kenned.
were the contestants, and at the finisl
there was only few inches between
them.
In the last race Mccullough raj
over the track and fell, bruising him
self considerably; but not seriously
Oscar Neil, showed that he is still ont
of the riders and was ont in grea
shape.

- "Too much was expected of the
Cubans when the war began" says an
apologist. "In the disappointment
which followed the utter failure, as it
seemed to the Americans, of the par
ties to grasp their opportunity, inJus-
tice was done. The Cuban is not an
American. He is tolerably good i'm
itator, so far as his tropical Incidence
will permit him to be. He hates the
Spaniard fiercely, and he will fight
some. The Santiago campaign has
been useful in that it has enabled the
government to understand how strong,
or, perhaps, better, how weak, the
Cubans are, and to what extent they
can be depended upon in further mill
tary operations. The policy of the
president will be neither to ignore the
Cubans nor to place much response
bility upon them. He will utilize
them for auxiliaries, as foil to the
peculiar treacherous tactics of the
Spaniards, which they understand so
we'll. Some criticism was passed upon
the forces of Garcia at Santiago be-
cause they did not advance and rush
on the Spanish lines as the Americans
did. 1t was not fair. The whole
military education of the Cubans in
this war has been in the direction of
retreating. This has been so for two

publish his views on certain political

for election. Whether or not the cor
