Let Your LiCht Shine.

THE ENQUIRER is read by the biggest
half of the more intelligent people of
York courty, and advertisements in its
columns 60 to the people who buy goods.
These people take THE ENQUIRER be-
cause it gives them the most reliable
news at the least possible delay, and not
because of the advertisements it contains
but the most certain way of reaching
them, with advertisements, is through its
columns. In the absence Of constant ad-
vertising, many of them are prone to
forget that those with whom they formerly
traded are in business, and that they
should drift off elsewhere is natural.

- Mr.. Lodge, of the foreign relations
committee, on last Monday, called up
the joint resolution for the relief of
August Bolten and Gustave Richelieu.
The resolution, as reported from the
foreign relations committee, is as fol-
lows: "rhat the president of the
United States be, and he is hereby, EN-.
powered to take such measures as in
his judgment may be necessary to OBJ
tain the indemnity from the Spanish
government for the wrongs and injur-
les suffered by August Bolten and Gus
tave Richelieu, by reason of their
wrongful arrest and Imprisonment by
Spanish authorities at Santiago de
Cuba in the year 1895; and to secure
this end he is authorized and request
ed to employ such means or exercise
such power as may be necessary"
The resolution, to which objection was
made few days ago, was passed with
out debate.

Attitude of the European Powers Toward
the United States and Spain.
Associated Press, Tuesday.
The Vienna correspondent of The
Times telegraphs an abstract of an ar,
,icle in the st. Petersburg Novoe
Vremya, which he thinks observes at
leulion, as giving an accurate account
of the views and intentions of at least
three of the great powers" The cor
respondent says:
"The article asserts that the United
States are we'll aware that in declaring
war against Spain they could not count
upon the approval of any of the Eu.
ropean powers. All, it alleges, would
sympathize with Spain-if not active
ly, certainly by categorical protest
against President McKinley's conduct.
This is also well-known in Madrid"
The Vienna correspondent of The
Standard declares that Austria and
Germany sympathize with Spain, the
former being actualed by family ties
between the two reigning houses and
the latter by grudge against the
United States.
The Paris correspondent of The
Times says:
According to information obtained
from good sources, the Austrian en-
peror is making great efforts to induce
the European powers to present to the
United States the danger to Europe OF
their carrying any further their inter,
ference in Cuban affairs. Emperor
William is warmly seconding the ef'
forts of Emperor Francis Joseph. The
American government is aware of this
situation"

PAYS, AND PAYS WELL.

FOR years past-we suppose not less
IL than 40-it has been the custom OF the
farmers in the north and west to harrow
their wheat in the spring, and there are
few in York county who have been doing
the same thing during the past few years,
and they claim that it pays and pays
well, the result being similar to the work
ing of corn or cotton crop. During the
next two weeks will be the best time for
the work. We have the Evans Steel
Frame Lever Harrow which Is the best,
most durable and convenient tooth har-
row on the market. Call and see US about
one. Prices and terms are right.
GARDENING TOOLS.
We have Rakes, Diggers, Hoes, etc., for
the gardeners and they are for sale. We
also have Seed Irish Potatoes, Onion Sets
and Garden Seed.
BREAKFAST BACON.
There is no sense in paying 121 cents a
pound for Break fast Bacon when, you
can buy better article from us at 81. We
have "streak of fat and streak of lean"
bacon in small thin pieces and will cut
any quantity wanted. It's fine.
PIE MATERIAL.
We have choice Evaporated Peaches,
Apples, Apricots, Prunes and Dried APP
Piles. Also the finest Syrup Peaches on

Three Convicted

Inree SOuSiCteu.
The trial of three members of the
Pomaria gang of robbers come TO a
close at Newberry last Saturday night.
Albert F. Riser and Willie Riser were
convicted of housebreaking and larce-
ny and each was sentenced to five
years and one month in the state peni-
tentiary at hard labor. James A.
Riser was convicted of having received
stolen goods and was sentenced to Is
months in the chaingang. Four more
members of the same gang are to be
tried at a special term of the court to
be held in April.
Smallpox In Spartanburg.
Spartanburg correspondence of the
Columbia State: The idea seems to
have become current in some sections
that Spartanburg is in danger from the
reported smallpox at Pelham. 1t is
well to state in justice to this city,
that Pelham is in the extreme western
portion of the county, 20 miles away.
1t is in that portion which has less
communication with the county seat
than any other, and we are in no dam
yer whatever. Positively, there are
no smallpox here nor in the vicinity.
Several of the older physicians hold
the opinion that we have never had
any. People need not avoid Spartan
burg on this account, for our own
people have quit even thinking about
it.

AMELIA PRIDE BOOK CLUB.
Entertained In Annual Meeting Last Sa
urday Afternoon.

Entertained In Annual Meeting Last Sat-
urtiay Afternoon.
Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer.
Rock HILL, March l2.-This afternoon,
at half-past four, Miss Emma j. Roach
entertained the Amelia Pride Book
club. This is their second anniversary
meeting, and if all are enjoyed as these
two have been, the desire of all who are
favored will be that the life of the club
may exceed that of Chinese civilization.
There is pleasure and sadness pecu-
liar to anniversary meetings. 1t is rare
that such a meeting comes without bring
ing to the memory of one, il not OF all
present, the remembrance of a change
since that last meeting, which, while il
holds sway, crowds from the mind all but
sadness.
But such changes must come, and soon
there comes to the one most depressed
the thought that what is behind us should
not be allowed to interfere with the pres
ent to chill the enthusiasm or diSpel the
charm of the passing moment. The mere
fact of continuance gives hope of per-
petuity, and with hope of life comes the
pleasures of future enjoyment and of fu.
ture work well done.
The club itself is memorial of vel
spent life, and each occasion of this kind
is but another reminder of the tender af
fection and faithful service of her fol
whom the club was named.
When this club was formed speculation
was rife as to chow long it would last.
Would it succumb, at length, to commo
tons from within, or would it shrive
when the first burst of energy had spen
its strength? 1t has done neither, and to-
day stands stronger than ever; stronger
in the more perfect knowledge OF thei
co-workers which the members enjoy
stronger in the fuller appreciation Of thei
needs; stronger for work well done al
ready in clearer view of what is needed
and the hope of ultimate success made
bolder by successes already achieved
The spirit of the club has brought abou
the organization of two other clubs will
ends very similar to this. May each an
niverSary see some fresh token of appre
citation.
When we come to the details of tn,
entertainment this evening, we hesitate
We can declare our appreciation but WI
fear to undertake an enumeration of th'
details. First, there WAS an address from
Professor T.. p. Moses on the "Nalue an'
Method of Historical Study" ProieSso
Moses is wide reader, Il bold thinker
and Il clear speaker. His address wa
much enjoyed: The refreshments wcr

they were enjoyed, and we feel sure tina
