MILLINERY OPENING.

Mrs. T. M. Dobson's was a popular
centre of attraction on last Wednes-
day and Thursday. The occasion was
her usual fall millinery opening, an
nounced in THE ENQUIRER of last
Wednesday, and the ladies of York
Vile and surrounding country focked
to the store in large numbers.
The opening this year was little
late and held under disadvantages.
The lateness was on account of that
big washout up the railroad. Goods
had all been ordered by the Seaboard,
and as the South Carolina and Georgia
people were unable to move freight
trains, large quantities of fall goods,
including millinery, had to lie at
Catawba Junction. This made the
opening late, and to have it as early
as it was, under the circumstances,
necessltated much hard overtime work.
But of these things, OF course, the
public knew nothing. The display
was as complete, elaborate and taste
full as if there had not been a single
aggravating hitch from start to finish.
The reporter called several times on
Wednesday and Thursday for the
purpose of trying to get initiated into
the mysteries of the attraction but
Mrs. Dobson was too busy to give him
any attention. Mr.. Dobson did not
appear to know much more about the
cases of ribbons, laces and feathers,
and the numerous pretty, but curious
things that are called hats and bou-
cts, than did the reporter, and it was
not until late Thursday evening that
the latter was able to get any facts
upon which to- write his article.
"The most striking thing about mil
linery this season." said Mrs. Dobson,
"is the wide range of variety. In all
of the pattern hats there are but few
that have the least resemblance to
each other. We have never before
shown such varied selection, especi-
ally at a fall opening. For instance,
among the specials, there is the 'Ad-
miral Dewey'-that beautiful castor
felt, faced with new pink and sweep
ing plume on the side. 1t was taken
by a Yorkvlle young lady yesterday
within two minutes after she saw it
and before she had time to look over
the others. And this black velvet,
chiffon edged with handkerchief dra-
perry, is called 'Hobson's Kiss You
see it also has three sweeping tips,
hair trimming of new pink and also
chiffon ties. Then there is the Boo
cacio' for a scarf, with ends of light
blue liberty silk to fall over the back
hair. This black hat, faced with liber-
ty satin, and four long plumes on the
crown, finished by lovely bow of
yellow satin, covered with mouseline,
and the hair trimming of this same

A SENSIBLE MOVE.

Klondyke etiquette provides that
when man with gun presents it at
q man who has none and makes re-
quest for the elevation of hands, the
man who has no gun should always
grant the request. This custom is
based on sound common sense, and ac-
cording to the records it is generally
observed even by people of the weak
est perception
Customs in this section of the coun-
try differ from those of the Klondyke,
among other things in that where the
Klondyker has to carry his point with
a gun. more civilized folk carry theirs
with law and justice. The civilized
method is much more satisfactory and
just as effective, only not quite so
swift in it's operation. There are some
people who have to be taught that
law and justice are more powerful
than a gun, and the teaching process
is often long and tedious.
As to whether it was ever right to
establish a dispensary at Tirzah, is
question not worth arguing at this
time; but when the Tirzah people
themselves began to petition for its
removal, the state board of control
made itself very ridiculous in trying
to stand in the way. The first peti-
tion would have been enough to move
sensible men, and idiots should have
known enough to recognize that the re-
cent, almost unanimous, vote OF the
corporation as "gun."
But however foolish may have been
the previous action of the board, its
last move was, to say the least, more
prudent. People like those who live
in this section are not going to have
their rights tampered with arbitrarily
by anybody, and if the state board OF
control had continued to hold out as
it no doubt once thought it had the
power" to do, we believe that the
sense of injustice in the whole busi-
ness would have spread and spread
until it would have brought about
such amendments to the dispensary
law as would have given each COM
munity the right to control its own
affairs.
But after all, Notwithstanding what
has gone before, in at last granting
this request, the state board has made
a sensible move-that is from the
standpoint of its own preservation.
Next time, when it is looking into the
barrel of gun, it will be quicker to
recognize the fact and not be so slow
about throwing up its hands.

Sanders, and is made returnable after
the general election.
Senator Tillman said: "Justice Nc
liver, it seems TO me, has made a great
mistake in making the answer in the
case returnable after the general elec-
ton, for in doing so he selects who
shall be sheriff of Berkeley county
and not the people.
"The constitution, I believe, pro-
vides that where a dispute arises as to
the nominee of the party for any office,
the state executive committee shall
settle the matter. Justice McIver is q
fair man and an excellent lawyer and
I believe the whole thing was an over
sight on his part. His issuing the in,
junction putting the time for the an
swer after the general election is a
deadly blow to the primary system"

Blacksburg, is to try for congress
again in this district If, when the
major first came down south, he had
espoused Democracy and gotten him
self right on the money question, he
would have probably stood a good
chance for political preferment. That
he has many qualities that recommend
him as a representative there is nc
question. But in the wrong party and
wrong as to the financial issue, and
with an opponent like Finley, his
chances in the sea of politics are not
much better than are the chances of a
cluster of thistle-down in cylone.

THE GoFORTH REUNION.

Those who attended the reunion
last Saturday at Mr.. Goforth's, say
it was by far the most largely attend
ed and most interesting yet held.
According to the Kings Mountain
Reformer, people from all over this
section were there in full force and
also from Yorkville, Union, Spartan
burg, Glover, Gastonia, Shelby, and
other places. The crowd was esti-
mated at from 500 to 700, and no
doubt they were there.
All the seven living children were
present and at least hree-fourths OF
the grandchildren and great grand
children. Everything passed OFT nice
ly with the best of order.
All the speakers for the occasion
did justice to their part of the pro-
gram. The sermon and each talk
could be outlined and made very in
teresting reading; but our space is
limited and we only make a general
notice.
Mrs. Goforth, the central figure of
the occasion, was in her usual health
and spry for a woman of 80 summers.
The history of this family shows that
it has been quite remarkable and
honorable one. From it have sprung
many of our best citizens, male and
female.

JUDICIAL SELECTIoN.-During the
discussion of the election, Senator
Tillman introduced the case of the
sheritfs of Berkeley county, emanating
from the recent primary. He said the
injunction granted by Justice McIver
yesterday restraining the executive
committee of Berkeley county from
holding another election on next Tues
day to decide who is the nominee for
sheriff, C. w. Sanders or DIR. Morrison,
was blow to the primary system.
1t will be remembered that there
was dispute between the state ex-
ecutive committee and the Berkeley

was elected sheriff, DR.. Morrison or

another primary was ordered for next

Democratic caucus of twenty-nine mem
bers, and that majority was due TO the
absence, through sickness, of the one
other member who was committed 10 Mr..
Gray's only opponent. Chief Justice
Charles B. Lore. Another element was
the detection of a member who went into
the caucus committed 10 Lore. Two years
later Senator Gray carried the Democrat
ic primaries against Lore, after bitter
contest, which left party sores that are
scarcely healed 10 this day. Upon the ex-
piration of the term which he won in that
contest, he was reelected without opposi-
tion by the Legislature. but the election
at which the Legislature was chosen was
exceedingly close the Democratic major
ity In the State being only 500. With re-
spect TO the prospects of Senator Grays
rc-election 10 third full term, there are
two uncertainties 10 be considered. First,
the ability of the Democratic party TO
elect q majority of members to the next
Legislature, and, second. the ability of
Senator Gray to secure the caucus noml-
nation of the Democratic members. should
the latter be in the majority.
Ordinarily. 1t could be predicted with
reasonable certainty that the election of
a Democratic majority 10 the legislature
would be equivalent TO the unanimous
denomination of Senator Gray, but recent
political events have enshrouded the situ-
alton in doubt. In the first place, the
ability of the Democrats to carry the next
election is problerna tical. At the election
OF 1896 the Democrats were, successful
IN Delaware, but solely owing TO the
factional division OF the Republicans, the
combined vote of the Republican factions
exceeding the Democratic vote by more
than 1900. Democratic dissensions over
the money issue caused a considerable
portion of this Republican margin, but
the party was weakened by other consid-
erations and is still far from being united
even with the money issue out OF the
way. The last Legislature. with its over
whelming Democratic majority, left
record for Incompetence, jObbery, and
extravaganza that will hurts the party
in the coming campaign. and the Dover
bank scandals viii have an evil effect by
reason of Democrats of prominence being
closely allied with them. The party,
therefore is not in good condition for an
aggressive and hopeful campaign against
a united Republican party and at present
its main hope is that the Republicans Will
be as hostilely divided al the next elec-
tIon as they were at the election of 1896.
when they deliberately threw away the
easiest kind of an opportunity TO carry
the State. At present, the two Republi-
can factions are making mutual over
The times., 1898-07-04

lures of harmony, with the result In
doubt Should they come together, II is
probable that their unity Will end all
hopes of Senator Gray becoming his own
successor.
Assuming, however, that the Republi
cans will remain divided and the Dem
ocrats will elect majority 10 the legis-
lature, the senatorial problem will be
come more interesting than ever. Again
Senator Gray would be compelled 10 fight
for the Democratic caucus nomination,
and the Opposition would be more vim
dictiye than ever. He would be Op-
posed by the free silver coinage element
of the party and in The ranks of the
sound money Democrats he would find
apathy and disgust over his recent votes
in the Senate on the money question,
which. 10 say the least, were not salts
factory to the friends OF the gold stand
ard. while they did not gain for him any
thing but the derisiOn of the silver Dem
ocrats And there would not be lacking
other candidates for the senatorial hon
or who would take advantage of every
opportunity TO advance their own inter
ests at the expense of Senator Gray's.
The chief factor in Gray's favor would
be his great ability and the commanding
position ne has assumed in the Senate
since his introduction TO that body. 1t
is the pride and boast or Delaware. that
since the formation of this Government
the State has been represented in the
United States Senate by at least one SEN
ator-and at times two-who was the in
telectual peer OF any of his colleagues.
To replace Gray with man of mediocre
talents, it is urged. would deprive the
State of this proud distinction, and be
equivalent TO wiping 1t from the map of
the United States. so far as being known
beyond its borders is concerned. This
argument is bound to weigh heavily in
Gray's favor when it comes down to solid
work for his return.
Such is the senatorial situation in Del
aware at present. Political forecasters
will have TO be skillful indeed to success
fully predict the result in advance OF the
election OF next November.

Wilmington, Del, July ALL forecasts

Senator George Gray, whose term will ex-

of the Dover National Bank cases in the
United States district court in this city
may cause another vacancy. Senator
Richard Rollin Kenney is one of the de-
PENDANTS in these eases and has been In
dicted by the grand jury, His trial will
begin on Tuesday next, and should it re-
suit in conviction, as did the cases of
Cooper and Clark. 1t is considered rea-
sonable conjecture that his seat in the
Senate will become vacant, by impeach-
ment if not through resignation. As to
the probabilities OF his trial, it is no in
justice to his interests to state that the
Government claims to have more positive
and convincing evidence against him than
against either Cooper or Clark whom
petit juries found no difficulty in convict
