Other Notes.
Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer.
HooDTowN, November 28.-The
past few days reminded US somewhat
forcibly of the approach of winter.
Hard freezes and heavy frosts, follow
ed today with a considerable fall of
sleet with little snow intermixed,
would seem a good beginning for a
severe winter.
Owing to the rainy weather recently,
and an unusual amount of sickness
principally malaria-several white
fields of cotton are yet to be seen here
and there. Most Of the cotton is
being sold as rapidly as it can be
gotten ready for the market.
But little wheat and oats have been
sown yet. However, the acreage sown
will be larger than usual, with favor
able conditions.
Rev. J. II. Thacker will preach his
farewell sermon at Shady Grove next
Sunday at II o'clock a. m. During his
four years. ministry here, he has en-
deavored to preach the whole gospel.
Without fear or favor, he has seemed
to declare the truths of scripture as he
saw them. Many Methodists, as we'll
as other denominations, will regret his
departure to another field of labor
after conference.
Rev. Hensley, pastor of Hickory
Grove Baptist church, is expected to
preach at Shiloh next Sunday at 2.30
p. ~.
The personal property of the late
Miss Martha Latham was sold at auc-
tion last Saturday at her residence.
The health of our community is
some better just now than for some
time. Some cases of malaria still crop
out occasionally. VoCE.

facts in a given case until the very
day of going to trial. The attorney
on the other side may have been work
ing upon the case for weeks or months.
In the case of moneyless defendants
who are without lawyers, the state has
as good showing as the defense; but
otherwise the state is at serious dis
advantage. A county prosecuting
attorney, whose duty it would also be
to act as assistant to the solicitor,
would change this condition of affairs
considerably. But if desirable, the
district solicitor could be dispensed
with entirely, and his duties devolved
upon the county prosecuting attorney
at a great saving to both state and
county. The county prosecuting at,
torney, having to look after the prose
cution of cases, only in the county in
which he resides, and in which he is in
constant touch with developments,
could look after the interests of the
state more effectively than could the
district solicitor. Not only this, such
an attorney would always he in the
position of public adviser to any and
all who might seek the enforcement Of
the laws.
We showed the other day how, with
revenue that would be saved from the
magistrate system and from the cir.
cult court, there would be available
after paying other expenses of the
county court, salary of 81 900 year
for the county judge and a salary ot
$500 a year for the prosecuting attor'
ney. We have since been advised that
with possibly two or three exceptions
any lawyer of the York county bal
would be glad to serve as prosecuting
attorney for $500 year. It. has also
been suggested that with county pros
ecuting attorney, the services of the cir
cult prosecuting attorney could he dis
pensed with. At present the circuit
solicitor receives $1,000 a year, and
York county's part of this iD not less
than $4O0. If the state would allow
this $4OO to 60 to the county prosecu.
ting attorney, then, after making ur
the remaining 500 from the county
treasury, we would have lefs not less
than 500 from the estimate of the
other day toward paying the remaining
expenses of the county court.

Personal Mention.
Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
WARREN, November 28.-The con.
tinued wet weather has interfered
considerably with the gathering OF
crops, consequently great many OF
the cotton fields are still white with
the fieecy staple. There is also some
corn in the fields yet. The ground
has been too wet for sowing grain,
and those who expect to sow are anx-
ious to see some fair weather.
Owing to the inclement weather, the
meeting at Antioch was not the sue
cess we expected it to be.
Mr.. S. E. Steele, overseer on one OF
the public roads in this section, met
with right severe accident while on
the road last week. Some of the road
hands were unloading some rock from
a wagon. Mr.. Steele stopped to move
a large rock from the road, when a
rock was thrown from the wagon,
striking his hand and badly MASKING
one finger and thumb. His physician
does not think, however, that it will
be necessary to make an amputation.
Mr.. T. w. Scogglns had the misfor-
tune to lose a fine young milch cow
last week. A few days later Mr.. Cor
nelius Bigham lost valuable horse.

RY A Y0TE nE THE PEOPLE.

Although in our opinion the subject
is interesting and important, for the
benefit of those who do not thoroughly
understand such matters, it is we'll to
explain that even if all the people OF
York county should desire the estab'
lishment of a county court, their desire
could not be realized for sometime to
come.
The late constitutional convention
adopted a provision permitting the
establishment of county courts upon
vote of majority of the voters in
the respective counties voting on the
question but left it, of course, to the
legislature to provide, through an act,
the machinery for the operation o.
such courts.
Since the adjournment of the con
stitutional convention, it has been the
duty of the legislature to provide the
act referred to, and the duty will con
tiuue to rest upon that body until the
act has been passed. Such an act may
be passed at the next session of the
legislature, or its passage may be post
poned indefinitely. However, ever
after the act has been passed, it viii
not become operative in any county
until after the people shall have seer
ft to adopt it by majority vote.
In our opinion, the drawing of 6
county court act that would facilitate
a great improvement on the present
conditions, would be comparatively
light undertaking; but, at the same
time, such an act can be drawn in g
way to comply with the requirements
of the constitution, and not recon-
mend itself to the good opinion of 6
single county in the state. Under the
circumstances, therefore, it appears
that while there is much ground fol
Improvement in our court machinery
no immediate change is imminent, and
unless the general assembly, when il
does act, recommends change that
may be really desirable, its recommen
dation does not have to be accepted.

The New York Herald of last Su

- The New York Herald of last Sun
day contains a strong article from the
pen of Senator McLaurin on the race
question. The senator shows the
northern readers at length and with
much force, why southern whites can
not and will not submit to government
by Negroes. He takes occasion also
to compliment President Mckinley for
having had sense enough to do nothing
in the Phoenix and Wilmington cases.
The article is timely and is calculated
to teach the northern people something
they have not previously been able to
realize.

AWAITING THE END.

Three days more and Amzi Duno-
want and Frank Castles will answer
to the law with their lives for the
brutal murder of old Ben Goore last
spring. The arrangements for the
hanging are not exactly complete
yet; but the remaining details will
require but a few minutes of time
to make them perfect, and practically
all that remains now is the expiration
of the few short hours that have
been allowed to the condemned by
the court.
Since the condemnation of Dunovant
and Castles, they have been visited by
all the local ministers, white and COL
ored, and as the result there has been
quite change on Frank Castles; but
Dunovant remains very much as he
has been all the while. Both fully
comprehend the fact that they are to
die on Friday. Castles is reconciled,
and says he is anxious for the remain.
ing days to pass away quickly. Duno-
want says he has no hope, here or
hereafter.
To some of his visitors Frank Cas-
ties tells how change has come upon
him. He claims that he had vision.
1t was no dream, for he was wide
awake. ~ was walking" he said,
Sin deep ditch, in which there was a
small stream of clear water. 1 wanted
to 60 up to the head of the stream.
There was a man on the bank, going
along in the same direction. He
evidently referred to Dunovant]. l
wanted him to get down in the ditch
with me ; but he wouldn't. AS went
further, the water got clearer, until l
came to a deep spring. Then 1 lay
down and took drink. drank and
drank until I could not drink any
more. 1t was the finest water I ever
drank in my life. I could feel it
changing me all over and making an
other kind of a man of me. l told
the man on the bank to come down
and get some of the water but he
said he did not want any. Since then
have been ready to 60, for l know l
am saved"
Dunovant has not been disposed to
talk of spiritual matters further than
to say that he has not felt any change.
He sticks to the same story of the
murder that he told while on the stand,
and claims that had it not been for
old Lizzie Goore and his wife, he would
have never gotten into the trouble.
He says that Lizzie Goore persuaded
his wife that old Ben had conjured her
child, and at their constant urging, he

finally went with others to give Ben a
thrashing and run him out of the
country. He insists that he did not
intend to kill the old fellow ; but his
story does not seem to impress one as
being the whole truth. In several par.
ticulars, it sounds improbable.
The time fixed by Judge Gage for
the hanging is between the hours Of
II a. m. and p. M, and it is the an
nounced intention of Sheriff Logan to
get through with the disagreeable job
as soon after II o'clock as possible.
The instrument of death will be the
same old contrivance that has served
a similar purpose on previous occa-
sions. The scaffolding will consist Of
a horizontal plank, about ~ inches
wide, resting on piece of timber
nailed against the wall of the "debt-
ors" room at one end, and fastened
with rope to an upright scantling at
the other end. On this plank the con-
demned men will stand with the ropes
about their necks, fastened to the
rafters overhead. Upon the cutting Of
the rope fastening the horizontal plank
to the upright timber, the condemned
men will fall distance Of four or five
feet. Heretofore this arrangement,
though quite primitive, has answered
the required purpose with entire salts
faction.

ANOTHER COTTON MILL.

Yorkville is to have another cotton
mill, and the probability is that it will
be in operation within the next ninety
days. 1t is not to belong to a corpo'

Mr.. II. B. McClain, Of Yorkville, has

The undertaking has been on foot
for several months but it was only
recently that Mr.. McClain succeeded
in getting matters in such a shape as
seemed 10 warrant him in making the
venture. As the result of recent
deal with the Carolina Buggy com
pany, he became the owner OF the real
estate heretofore used by'that corpora.
ton, and it is his purpose to install
cotton spinning machinery in the large
brick buggy factory building.
Expert mill men have canvassed the
situation, and they estimate that by
using the blacksmith shop for picker
room, and the main building for the
balance of the necessary machinery,
there will be ample accommodations
for 6,9l2 spindles. More than this,
The experts are of opinion that the
buildings of the buggy company are
admirably adapted for the purposes OF
d cotton mill, and the changes that
will be necessary are few, inexpensive
and unimportant. Indeed, some ol
the experts 60 so far as to claim
that the main building of the buggy
factory is better adapted for the pur'
poses of a cotton mill than are many
of the buildings that were originally
erected for cotton mill purposes.
The planers, band saws, lathes and
other woodworking machinery belong
ing to the Carolina Buggy company

suited for the manufacture of buggies
and the business of the company will
be continued by Mr.. M. G. Willis rs
