THE ENQUIRER is especially proud

THE ENQUIRER is especially proud
of its work last Tuesday night in pre-
sentipg the result of the election
throughout the state. The returns
were not complete, it is true but they
indicated the election of Finley and
gave as much information about the
status of the state officers as did the
daily papers Wednesday morning.
Such feats are not usually accomplish
ed by weekly or semi-weekly papers.
But The ENQUIRER is not satisfied
with doing only as others do.

action. 1t looked like a war of ex-
termination between whites and blacks
and the Judge still refused to act. The
whites came to his rescue and told him
to stand firm and they would frighten
the negroes out of the country. On
Sunday crowd of negroes rode out to
Judge Prouty's home and left word
with his family that unless the cow
boys were arrested at once they would
avenge their comrades murder. The
Judge was in town and did not know
OF the visit. When he started home
about 10 o'clock the negroes were no.
tilted and followed him. They came
upon him and soon accomplished their
purpose. The whites are in state of
terror and are arming themselves
with the view of exterminating all the
negroes of that section.

Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
BLAcKsBURG, September 15.-THE
ENQUIRER, as usual, gave the recent
election news up to date; but, owing
to its enterprise and past record, we
always expect the latest, most impor-
tant and most reliable news in its
columns. The information in the last
issue in regard to curing and saving
peavine hay is both timely and impor-
tant and should be of immense advan-
tage to those of our farmers who are
fortunate enough to be subscribers to
your excellent paper.
Very little good fodder has been
saved in our section, and, as an unus-
ually large crop of peavines is on
hand, it is important to know the best
way to take care of them.
This morning about 4 o'clock the
dwelling house on Cherokee street be-
longing to Mr.. D. D. CASTOR and occu-
pied by Section Master Ed Smith, was
consumed by fire. 1t is not certainly
known how the fire originated but
suppose to have been caused by live
ashes thrown near an outbuilding.
MIR. Smith and his family were sleep
ing unconscious of their danger until
aroused by the arrival of parties who
had discovered the fire, aud had
barely time to escape with their lives,
and the clothing they had on. None
of their furniture except few articles
of bedding was saved. The loss is
heavy on both Mr.. CASTOR and MIR.
Smith, as there was no insurance on
the property. The building was the
oldest dwelling in Blacksburg, having
been built by Mr.. CASTOR about 25
years ago, and occupied by him until
about two years ago he moved in his
new residence near the old one.

It has been suggested that if any

u 1t has been suggested that if any
one American officer of the Spanish
war has won the rank of lieutenant
general, that man is Joseph Wheeler.
The suggestion admits of but little con-
troversy. Without attempting to dis
parage in the least the claims OF
Shafter or Miles, the claims of General
Wheeler, in our opinion, are much
higher.

stances it tries to fight fairly and
cleanly. 1t seeks to deal only with
the truth. No slander of any kind has
originated in its columns. No state
ment was made relating to the late
campaign except in the light of satis-
factory evidence of its correctness. If
the Bulletin, or anybody else, wants
proof for any assertions that have been
made in these columns, that proof can
be furnished.

means, does not seem to be fully
agreed upon. But as to partnerships
an assignment would be ascribed as an
act of bankruptcy, and the assignors
forced to settle their Indebtedness un.
der the terms of the bankrupt act, for
a most obvious reason.
Under the decisions of our supreme
court, all partnership assets are given
exclusively to the partnership credi.
tors and these creditors, if not fully
paid, then come in ratably with the in.
dividual creditors to share the individ-
ual assets. The bankrupt law pro.
vides, however, different rule for
distribution, and gives partnership
assets to partnership creditors, and in
dividual assets to individual creditors,
with the right to each class to partici.
pate in any surplus. Individual cred.
itors of a partnership, of course, would
not stand by and permit distribu'
ton under the state assignment law,
when they can get better provision
under the bankrupt law.
But aside from this, it seems to be
the better legal opinion that, as under
the Federal constitution (Art. l., Sec,
10y =" No state shall pass any law i'm
pairing the obligation of contracts"
but the right to establish I" an uniform
system of bankruptcy" art. l., Sec. 81
is reserved to the United States con-
gress, this remedy, when enacted, must
supersede and displace all state insol-
vent laws.
So long as congress failed to exer-
else the power to adopt the uniform
system for the whole Union, each state
exercised the right of providing its
own system of relief for insolvents.
But the constitutional system having
been provided, the state systems are
superseded. This view seems to be
the logical one, and, if correct, the
enactment of the bankrupt law has
produced an unexpected and startling
influence on state laws.
How to obtain the benefits Of the
bankrupt law can better be ascertained
by interested persons consulting their
lawyers. But, briefly stated, proceed
ings are commenced by petition to the
U. S. district court; and after this
most of the proceedings are before
local "referees" appointed by the dis
trict judge, one or more for each
county. Trustees are appointed to
take charge of the assets and convert
into money. The fees allowed are so
exceedingly small that there will be
found difficulty in securing suitable
persons to ell appointments of referees
and trustees.
The law is full in its directions as
to the minor details of the process OF
bankruptcy, and these will not interest
the public. But altogether, it presents
a wise, liberal and humane method by
which the stified business energy of
many who went to the wall under the
grinding depression of the last ten
years, may be released and given op-
portunity for new expression in the
business world. And in this view, it
is not only blessing to the unfortu-
nate, but boon to the whole country.

Until January 1st, 1899, For go Cents.
The Tw1cE-A-WEEK ENQUIRER, filled
with the best and most reliable up-to- date
news, will be furnished from the date of
this issue until January, 1899, for 60 cents.
It Was Remarkable.
~ told Mr.. Finley" remarked Mr..
Joseph F. Wallace, last Wednesday,
"that he had especial cause to con-
gratulate himself on the vote of York
county. 1t was remarkable, and it
will be a long time before any man
ever gets such vote again."
1t Is a Good Letter.
Mr.. F. A. Gosman's letter from San
tiago, published elsewhere in this
issue, is we'll worth reading. Mr.. Cos.
man was we'll known here as very
practical kind of man, and he has
certainly taken very practical view
of the Santiago situation.
Names Transposed.
DR.. J. H. Saye has called the atten-
tion of the reporter to the fact that
in the account of the Sims Carter hon.
icide, published Wednesday, the names
were transposed. 1t was Stephen Car
ter, instead of Ike Sims, who was
killed. Ike Sims is the man who did
the killing.
They VIII Watch 1t.
Several prominent farmers have ex-
pressed themselves as very much in
terested in Mr.. T. Baxter McClain's
experiment in corn harvesting, and
unless Mr.. McClain makes failure of
it, of which event there is very little
probability, there is reason to believe
that the new plan will be widely adop-
ted next fall.
A Good Quarter Race.
While Mr.. P. M. Burris was in
Chester the other day, the Chesterites
undertook to tease him with: "Oh !
your Finley has run so often that he
is windbroken. He can't get there"
"Never mind" replied. Mr.. Burris
with much confidence, hes still good
for quarter, and that is all he has to
make. He'll make it.
Where the Hitch Was.
Except in the case of the vote for
state officers at Coates's Tavern, the
York county election returns as pub
lished in The ENQUIRER last Wednes-
day morning were complete. Arrange
ments had been made to have these
returns sent to US over the telephone.
Our correspondent worked from to 9
o'clock trying to get the news through /;
but it seems that there was something
the matter with the wire from Rock
Hill to Leslie and communication could
not be established. It was not the
fault of THE ENQUIRER or THE EN-
oU1RER's most efficient correspondent.
The Rock Hill Exchange.
The announcement that Mr.. F. E.
Brodie has leased the telephone ex-
change at Rock Hill, has no doubt
been received with much pleasure by
the people of that place. There has
been no complaint, so far as The EN-
oUIRER knows, against the manage
ment of the exchange heretofore; but
those to whom it belongs have so much
business of other character to attend
to as to leave them but little time for
the proper development of this public
convenience. Mr.. Brodie is wide
awake young business man who will
see to it that the exchange is develop
ed to the fullest requirements of the
public convenience.
