The United States cruiser Colum-

collision with the British tramp steam
er Foscolia, was hoated again last
Tuesday in as good condition as be-
fore the disaster. ...'.'". .Notwithstand-
ing the fact that the cables connecting
Cuba with the outside world are re-
ported to have been cut, the Madrid
government is still giving out informa-
ton alleged to have been received
from Cervera and Blanco. '''''''''The
Pennsylvania Republican convention:
in session at Harrisburg last week, by
a vote of 305 to 80, expressed itself
as in favor Of anneXing the Philip

ABOUT PEOPLE.

D. E. Finley, Esq, is quite sick,
Miss Agnes McLeon, of Chcraw, is
visiting Mrs. G. 7. Radcliffe.
Mr.. John NJ. Rawlinson is taking a
short rest at the springs.
DR.. J. D. Mcdowell is confined to
his bed with fever.
Miss Lizzie Adams, of Gastonia, is
visiting in Yorkville, the guest of Mrs.
Pelham Morrow.
Flossie and James Oehler, of Hun
tersville, n. c., are visiting their aunt,
Mrs. Morrow, in Yorkville.
Treasurer Nicely was in his office yes
terday, the first time for many weeks.
He did not come up to work, not being
strong enough but merely to take a
look at the situation. "But I'm COM
ing next week." he said to the repor-
ter, and all hope that he will be able
to do so.
Messrs. Meek Smith and Herbert
Wright of Glover, left Wednesday on
their wheels for Brachville, S. c., on a
fishing expedition. They calculated
on reaching Branchville by Thursday
night; but as to whether they made
the trip we have not learned.

ABOUT OUR QUARANTINE.


Yorkville has quaranlined against
Chester. With the greatest respect
for our old and staid neighbor and
the highest appreciation of the mo-
tives of the honorable and Intelligent
gentlemen who compose the Yorkville
board of health, We think this very
foolish. We haven't case of small
pox here. There is no smallpox cpl
demic here, and what in the name
of sense is Yorkville quarantining
against? We can't see, without it is
the pluck and push that has enabled
her sister Chester to ontstrip her in
the race of progress. Nearly all the
people here have been vaccinated and
those who have not been viii be in
few days. Vaccination is the only
way by which you can stamp out and
keep out smallpox.-Chester Bulletin.
Now, now, neighbor, come. Don't
be illiberal. Your folks have had
little quarantine, and what is the mat
ter with our having one too? You
discovered you could not manage yours
and had to give it up; but because
you can't bottle the wind in fish net
is no reason why we are not equal to
such task. And so far as your prog
ress is concerned, you make US tired.
Any of that which happens to stray
up this way without health certi-
fcate will be detained a day or two
until Its genuineness is established
and then cheerfully appropriated. We
have noted what you say of vaccina-
ton with much interest, and we recog-
nize that vaccination is preventative
against smallpox; but we also note
that most of your smallpox has, to
the disgust of the public, turned out
to be chickenpox, against which
vaccination is not supposed to be
a preventative, and with many peo-
pie in this section it is question
as to whether they would not rather
have this milder disease than risk
the inconvenience and suffering, to
say nothing of the serious danger, of
vaccination. Some of us are being
vaccinated on general principles; but
not all of us. We have not gotten
scared enough yet. However, we
recognize our right to get as scared as
a rabbit if we want to, and there is no
telling what we might do before we
are done with this thing.
