GEORGE D. is IN 1T.
Edgefield Will Make Another Claim For
the GOvernorship.

Edgefield Will Make Another Claim Fol
the Governorship.
George D. Tillman, of Edge6eld
has given out to the press the following
announcement
To the Democracy of South Carolina :
Much more at the suggestion of 9TH
ers than by my own prompting, an
nounce my candidacy for governor,
honestly believing that the office seeks
the man, or else I would not have re-
ceived so many letters urging me to
run.
Manly candor also bids me to confess
that a sense of duty as citizen i'm
pels me to make the effort to reunite
the people of the state and correct
certain evils, which if done would re-
suit in.more liberty and less taxation
10 achieve these ends I shall advo'
cate several measures that if adopted
would both strengthen local self-gov
ernment and reduce present annual
state and county taxes at least q
fourlh-or say, half a million dollars
without diminishing but positively in
creasing the efficiency of our govern.
ment. What these measures are and
argument in support of them, will be
discussed later on.
I shall run as the candidate of no
faction, no ring, no boss, but simply
on my own character as a man and
record as public servant.
GEO. D. TILLMAN.

q joint meeting of the sinking fund
commission and the board of control
was held yesterday morning for the
purpose of settling the matter of back
rents with Landlord Wesley. After
quite lengthy consultation, 10000
was offered Attorney Lyles for back
rents and damages, and he accepted
the amount as payment in full.
Then q contract was entered into for
the future rental of the property, and
the dispensary people now have a
lease on it for two years, the amount
of rent per month being $175. They
also have the privilege of moving from
the property at any time before the
expiration of the two years, provided
80 days notice is given Mr.. Lyles. In
addition to this they will be allowed
to take their engines and tanks with
them when they leave. The arrange
ment appears to be perfectly satisfac-
tory to all the parties in interest, and
for quite while longer, at least, liquor
will be dispensed from the same old
stand. The members of the board are
quite pleased at the manner in which
they have played their cards, and the
way they kept people guessing at what
they would do. One member of the
board said that soon after they began
final negotiations with Mr.. Lyles, the
former prices for the pieces of property
on which they were bidding dropped
one-6fth, and they think they will
come down even lower yet. So it is
that the question has been finally deci-
ded, and for time at least, the board
can continue business undisturbed.

J.E. JEFFERYS DEAD.

Mr.. John Edmund Jetferys died at the
home of his daughter, Mrs. jamie Parish,
yesterday morning, of grip, after an i'll
ness of about one week.
Mr.. Jefferys, with one exception, was
the oldest native born citizen OF York
vile, and was highly esteemed and be-
loved wherever he was known. He was
q son of the late James and Elizabeth II.
Jefferys, and was born on April q, 1925.
In early manhood Mr.. Jefferys learned
the carpenter trade, and became car
penter and builder. He was finished
workman, and previous to the war ran
quite an establishment. He had contracts
for and superintended the construction
of many of the best frame buildings in
the town. During the war he was master
carpenter for the Kings Mountain rail-
road company, and continued with this
and the Chester and Lenoir company, Hp
to the time of the lease of the Narrow
Gauge railroad to the G. .. ~ A. company.
After that he went into the furniture and
undertaking business, in which he con-
tinued up to the time of his death.
When still very young man, Mr.. JEFF
ferys joined the Methodist Episcopal
church, and all his life he continued as an
active, consistent and most valuable men,
ber. He was also for many years of his
life an enthusiastic Mason, repeatedly
held high official position in the order,
and attained the degree of Royal and
Select Master.
For many years Mr.. Jefferys served as
a member of the town council and was
treasurer of that body. He was always
true to his duty here, and as citizen had
the reputation Of always being one of the
first to tender his services to fellow-citi-
zens in case of affliction. His life was in
every respect exemplary and useful.
The funeral of the deceased will take
place in the Methodist church next Sun
d ay afternoon at O'Clock. The usual
services will be held in Trinity NJ. E.
church, and after that the Masons will
take charge of the remains and pay their
usual honors.

RAILROAD WAR.

The Southern railroad, with its accuS-
toned arrogance and contempt for the
rights of others, has been attempting to
run over the little Narrow Gauge at Hick-
ory. We get the facts from the Charlotte
Observer of Thursday.
It seems that the Southern desired to
lay sidetracks into the plants of the Ca
tawba Lumber company and the Hickory
Manufacturing company, and to reach
these points, it was necessary to twice
cross the Carolina and North Western
railroad.
Without previous intimation, con-
struction train, loaded with hands and
material, rolled into Hickory at O'Clock
Monday morning over the Southern, and
at daylight both crossings had been put
in; but not quite completed.
Upon being advised of the situation,
the Carolina and North Western author
tiles sent train to the scene, placed two
cars across one crossing and an engine
across the other. The Southern people
continued work on either side of the two
crossings; but were unable TO continue
operations on the crossing themselves on
account of the car and engine obstruc-
tionS.
Things remained in the shape described
until about 10 o'clock Tuesday morning,
when the Southern men having retired,
the Carolina and North Western people
appeared on the scene and commenced
tearing up what had been done. The
Southern gang was called out, and being
the stronger, soon succeeded in overpow-
ering the Carolina and North Western
people and made them quit work.
The Carolina and North-We Western men
retired but on Wednesday morning re-
appeared on the scene with instructions
not to allow the Southern folks to drive
another spike. The Southern folks made
further efforts to drive spikes, and pretty
soon there were several fights in progress.
1t became necessary for the mayor of
Hickory to take hand, and summoning
so men to the assistance Of the police, he
took possession of both crossings in the
name of the law.
Both railroads and the city authorities
now began to increase their respective
forces, until each had something like $50
men, and the situation began to look de-
cidedly squally. But finally the muni-
cipal force succeeded in getting in be-
tween the two railroad mobs, and had no
further trouble in keeping them apart.
Next the Southern started out on new
tack. Placing an engine across one cross
ing, it had the rails of the Carolina and
North Western torn up at the other.
The city authorities protested against
this arrangement but the Southern
claimed that its engine was on its own
right Of way and refused to move. When
the passenger train came along, passen-
gers, mail and baggage had to be trans
ferred.
At o'clock Wednesday afternoon,
Superintendent Dodson, Of the Southern,
arrived on the scene, and after investiga-
ting the situation, ordered the Southern
gang to remove distractions and allow
the Carolina and North Western trains to
pass.
The sympathies of the Hickory people
are strongly with the Carolina and North
Western road but at last accounts the
trouble was not settled.

buTleu Appith'
Mr.. r. A. Jackson, of Newport, brought
to THE ENQUIRER office, last Wednes-
day, an apple which had been buried in
the ground all winter and which was still
i'm fairly good state of preservation.
Mr.. Jackson explained that he covered
some apples up with his plow about the
first of last July, and uncovered them in
the same manner on last Tuesday. Both
the covering and uncOverng, of course,
was a mere matter Of chance but noting
the bright, fresh color and appearance of
the fruit when he plowed it up, he gave it
especial attention. When first plowed up
the apples were in apparently fine condi-
ton; but they shriveled up considerably
overnight and turned dark in spots. The
speci men left at this office was mellow /;
but sound and delightfully."- Favored.
Serious Shooting Scrape.
THE ENQUIRER has gotten incomplete
details of a row that occurred on Mr..
John Plaxico's place, near Hoodtown,
last Wednesday afternoon. Mr.. John
Plaxico and his son, Tom, were trying to
arrest Sam Mckinney, Nose Edwards
and DUDE Darwin for rioting at Negro
wedding. Sam Mckinney shot Mr.. Tom
Plaxico in the arm and thigh. Nose Ed
wards shot himself while trying to shoot
Mr.. Plaxico. Mr.. John PlaXico was not
armed. Mr.. Tom PlaXico fired several
shots; but so far as we have learned,
without effect. Mckinney, Darwin and
Edwards went first to Hickory Groves and
then in the direction of Blacksburg.
There is said to be considerable excite
ment in the Hoodtown and Hickory
Grove neighborhoods over the affair.
