THE ACCIDENT AT NAUGATUoK JUNCTION

A serious accident on the Consolidated
railroads. main line, Tuesday night, has
caused much mixing up and delaying of
trains for a day or two past. A fast
freight running between New Haven and
Bridgeport broke in two and the engine
and first part of the train crossed the
bridge over the Housato nic river, at Nau-
gatuck Junction, in safety. When the
second part of the broke-in-twO train
came laundering along, the forward car
got off the track and six or eight loaded
cars following piled themselves promis
cuously In the center of the long bridge
completely blocking the road. 1t is by
far the most annoying accident the road
has suffered in some time, for the bridge
was so badly damaged as to be useless
for day or two, during which time all
through trains have been sent between
the two cities via BotsfOrd, over the
Berkshire division. Never were so many
trains run over the road before in an
equal number OF hours, and all the cid
ings have been kept full most of the time
with trains waiting their chance to get
through. When you come to put the
work of five tracks on one it means bust.
ness, but the Consolidated road, as usual,
have done their best to make as little in
convenience as possible for their patrons.

- The South Carolina soldiers have
not yet received any pay either from
the state or the government. There are
very few circumstances under which
some loose change is not useful, and
we imagine that with most of the boys,
the situation is going rather hard.
There is good deal of talk about
their not getting enough to eat; but,
in our opinion, this is mostly imagina-
ton. The boys used to talk that way
during the late war, especially at first,
when they were being fed to repletion
but afterward, when provisions grew
to be desperately scarce, there was not
so much talk about the fact. How
ever, cash comes in handy at all
times, and it would be the handsome
thing to raise small supply of this
by private subscription. Everybody
can afford to contribute little to such
a fund, and we are satisfied that most
of the soldiers would be delighted to
be thus substantially remembered.

THE COIINTY PAPER.

From time to time we see a great
deal of printed matter about the i'm
portance of the county paper to the
town and community. and the duty of
every citizen to give it his or her sup
port.
Most of what we see is written with
the best of intentions; but according
to our view, few of the writers have a
very deep or clear idea of the subject.
And the effect of most such articles
on the public is usually just the op-
posite of what is intended. They al
most invariably put the county paper
in false light, and teach the public
to look upon it as kind of charity.
For instance, we are often told that
business men should Support the
county paper for the good of the town
and community" The proposition is
correct one ; but it is expressed with
rather too much modesty to make the
impression sought to be secured. A
more precise way of putting it would
be, "to advertise in your county paper
for your own benefit, and the town
and community will be benefited
also"
But again, even with this more precise
statement, the proposition is still open
to qualifications. There are papers and
papers. Some have more merit and
some have less. The ideal county
paper, supposed to be referred to as
capable of comforting benefit on the
individual or community, is the one
which is conducted with honest, intel
ligent enterprise, and which finds its
principal support in that citizenship
which desires to be quickly, fully and
correctly informed with regard to mat
ters in which it is most vitally in
terested.
Now right here, it is we'll to remark
that it is not the newspaper which
confers benefits upon individuals or
communities but the citizenship just
described. The newspaper is only a
medium, and to become a medium OF
such citizenship, the newspaper must
be of the class indicated. 1t must
have the confidence and respect of
such people before anything in its
columns, advertising matter or other
wise, can seriously engage their atten-
ton. To assume that because a pub
lication is issued at stated intervals, it
is a newspaper, is a blunder. and this
further explains what we mean when
we say that the proposition to "sup-
port a newspaper for the good of the
community" is misleading.
TO assume that a newspaper is an
object of charity is a serious mistake.
No matter how good may be the inten-
tions of those who dispense it, charity
cannot make a newspaper. Newspa-
pers-real newspapers-are the combi-
nation of labor, money, intelligence

AMERICAN GRIT.

As the conditions surrounding the
fight of the Rough Riders and the
regular cavalry with the Spaniards
near Santiago, last Friday, become
better understood, the significance OF
the affair is more and more impress
Sive.
All reports, official and otherwise,
indicate clearly that the Americans
were drawn into Spanish trap. The
Spaniards had previously chosen their
ground, they were in good force, and
had every advantage necessary to re-
pei an attack.
AS the Rough Riders emerged into
a comparatively open space, they were
suddenly met with calling fire from

FROM THE CaTAWBAS.

In his letter to The News and
Courier of Monday, Mr.. August Kohn
writes up the situation in the First
South Carolina regiment by compa.
MES. With. regard to Company G.,
he has the following:
The Catawba Rifles welcome the
approach of Sabbath, which, if not
a day of rest, at least affords respite
from the arduous duties of the week.
The recent rains have left no trace,
and the drill grounds are again very
dusty. The drill work this week has
been more intricate and more arduous.
Captain Mobley is now on his feet
again, after several days sickness, and
| is looking, and says he is feeling, bet
ter than since the beginning of the
encampment at Camp Ellerbe.
Messrs. J. l.. Adams, R. E. Withers,
T. T. Morrison, J. L. Philips, Rowland
Dozier, ard two other recruits arrived
from Rock Hill last night, bringing
some boxes of edibles from home.
News from Lieutenant Dunlap, who
is at home, is to the effect that he is
getting a number of recruits for the
battalion.
Lieutenant White captured wee
wee bunny while out on a skirmish
drill last Thursday.
Some of the boys in Company G. en-
Ijoyed a mess of partridge eggs yes,
terday.
Private P. D. Barron has been very
unwell since entering the army. He
will hardly be able to stand the rigor
of camp life, and has applied for a
discharge.
Messrs. A. B. Culp and W. L. Black
are suffering with hands much swollen
and blistered from digging trenches,
into which to throw refuse from the
kitchen. They were not on special
duty.

NOT OUR ID. w. BELL.

Upon the arrival of the daily papers
Monday morning, there seemed to be
good reason to believe that this section
had a special local interest in the bat
tie of La Quasina. Among the names
of the participants was mentioned that
of former citizen of this county-Mr.
D. w. Bell.
The Bell referred to-Donom With
erspoon Bells a son of the late T. ].
Bell. He spent four years in the
United States army, his term of enlist
ment expiring in 1890, and for several
years past he has been engaged in rail-
road work down on Crystal river,
Florida.
The name among the participants
suggested at least a remarkable coin
cidence. Everybody knows that the
Rough Riders are composed of the
best possible material to be gathered
from plaiusmen, old soldiers, college
graduates. and others of courage and
experience in fighting. Those who
are acquainted with Donom Bell con-
slider that he would make an ideal
Rough Rider, especially in view of his
army experience and the fact that ne
was in Florida, suggested that he had
enlisted and been appointed a sergeant.
So, under these circumstances, when

GOT FORTYSSIX DAYS.

"Now, here, just please let it stay
until tomorrow. I'll get up my fine
tomorrow, and there amt no use
cuttin' it off now."
1t was Rufus Knox, pleading for his
pompadour. He failed to raise the
money with which to pay the fine
mentioned in the last issue of THE
ENQUIRER, and shortly after the train
came he was transferred to the chain
gang.
Intendant Carroll values labor at
only so cents day instead of 81, the
price most magistrates seem to have
agreed upon, and at that valuation,
Knox must put in just 46 days.
One of the first things to be done
for "fresh fish" at the chaingang is
to cut his hair, and as the chaingang
headsman was lowering over the new
arrival with his clippers swapping Wig
orously and eagerly at Knox's lux
uriant pompadour, the victim raised
the pitiable appeal that is stated
above.
1t had taken months, and even
years, of patient, affectionate nursing
to produce in wool such a fine speci-
men, and to part with it was almost
sufficient to break the poor Negroes
heart.
But the pompadour had to 60. The
convict headsman was without discre-
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1898-06-29

ton, and even if such had not been
the case, he would have showed no
pity. That was evidenced by the
malicious dancing of his eyes and the
vicious swapping of the clippers as he
listened to the plaintive appeal. The
moments of probation were short.
The appeal fell on hearts of stone.
Relentlessly closed the jaws Of the
cruel clippers, and the pride and joy
of years fell to The earth-a bit of
discredited, useless wool J
Knox's father showed up with the
money to pay the fine ; but on learn
ing that the boy was to be punished
oyer again by the state upon the same
charge, concluded not to invest.

- People generally might think that
the war correspondents in Cuba get
most of their news second hand from
the soldiers and sailors after the fight
ing. This is a mistake. The cores
pondents are right there on the field
in as much danger as are the combat
ants, and see the whole thing fol
themselves. Edward Marshall, a cor
respondent of the New York Journal
was shot in the small of the back last
Friday and perhaps fatally wounded
while in the thick of the fight. He was
trying to observe all incidents and
details of the first wild charge of Col
onel Woods Rough Riders. To make
good correspondent requires as
much, or more, nerve and courage as
it does to make good fighter, and
the men who collect and forward the
war news are anything else than milk

DEATH OF w. G.. GIST.

Mr.. w. G. Gist died at his home in
Yorkville last Monday afternoon at :
o'clock, after an illness of about one
week, as the immediate result of con-
vulsions caused by congestion of the
kidneys.
Mr.. Gist was first taken down with
fever, which steadily developed other
disorders, resulting as stated fatally.
The deceased was son of the late
w. c. Gist, of Union, and was aged
only about 81 years. He was educa-
ted in the schools of Yorkville and at
the South Carolina college, and being
young man of admirable character,
coupled with an unusually happy dis.
position, he was naturally quite popu-
lar with large circle of friends.
Until the beginning of the present
year, Mr.. Gist was engaged in busi-
ness; but this he disposed of recently,
and up to the past few weeks gave his
time and attention to the building of a
handsome little cottage on Kings
Mountain street, occupying the same
with his mother and two sisters, only
few days before the development of
his fatal illness.
The funeral of Mr.. Gist took place
on Tuesday afternoon at $50 o'clock,
the services being conducted from the
Presbyterian church by Rev. w. G.
Neville.
