WARREN SHEAF:
After the rain of Thursday, the
crops look materially better, yet
there are pieces that had the owners
plenty OF means to buy fax seed,
they would pillow them up and SOW to
flax. The insect which did consider
able damage last year, is here again
and thinning the high places. The
heavy FROST last night damaged
beans and tomatoes.
Last week occurred the death OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Stranburg's
babe, aged one year. A still sadder
feature than it's loss, is that the faith
er had just sailed for Norway few
days before, leaving the child in it's
usual health.

The pOpulist leaders in this county
are said to be making great efforts
organizing their party in the differ
ent towns in the county. The fact
that they find it necessary to do
some work is ample proof that a
change has taken place in the feelings
of the people towards that party.
There was Il time in this county when
a pOpulist nomination was equiva-
lent to all election. But the people
have commenced to see the falsiry of
populist arguments and theories.
and have lost faith in the party.
The wheat and silver argument,
once SO popular, has been complete
ly disproved by current market re-
ports. Free coinage of silver at the
ratio OF sixteen to one is now even
looked upon by many populists as
an impossibility, and only scheme
to enrich the silver mine owner,
Their pet theories OF money, money
circulation, per capita, fat money,
banking, the crime OF '73, and all
that, have lost their charm with the
masses. Many honest and sincere
men, whose sympathies we're with
the poor and oppressed, and who
were led astray into the populist
camp, have discovered the error of
their ways and are turning back to
the Republican party, which they
now recognize as the true party OF
the people.

man to stand by his race before party
and before creed. When do you hear
of white men insulting Negroes and
wantonly pushing their women from
the sidewalk? 1t is only when the
Negro in my state gets out of his place
that he is molested. Your people
might as we'll let it be understood that
the white men are to govern this state
it will save trouble. In South Caro-
lima, where the white people control,
the Negro is treated with respect and
consideration, and there is a sincere
desire on the part of us all to make
his condition as tolerable as we can.
We don't wish to make our rule hate
full and odious but we want to get
along as pleasantly as possible. What
a spectacle it is to us to see our breth-
rem over here treated as they are, with
the evident desire of the Negroes to
make their sway as harsh and oppres-
sive as possible. We are watching
events here where it is proposed, if
possible, to pin Negro rule to your
backs with Federal bayonets. After
making conditions so intolerable that
nature rebels, they would crush you
with brute force.

TURN OUT AND VOTE

Next Tuesday is the date OF the
general election, and although there is
practically no opposition to the Demo
cratic nominees, at the same time it is
the duty of every citizen who is en-
titled TO do so to come out and vote.
The national house of representa-
tives is now controlled by the Repub'
licans. The conditions in this state
are such as to offer considerable temp
tation to defeated Republican candid,
ates to contest elections, and the lar
ger the vote for the Democratic nomi-
nees, the smaller the danger of these
contests being taken seriously.
But there is another more important
consideration than this. Every voter
who cast ballot in the recent prima'
ry, took an oath to the effect that he
would support the nominee of the
party in the primary. These voters,
therefore, now owe it not only to the
nominees, but to themselves, to turn
out next Tuesday and cast their bal
lots. Everybody who is entitled to
do so, should vote.

money he had better give it up. He
went into an ante-room, climbed up
to the joist plates and came back with
a little cloth.wrapped bundle which
proved to be the missing money. 1t
was all there-the whole S125-except
1896 which had been spent.
1t seems that Gill was at Morrow's
mill at the time the money was lost on
Thursday of last week. A boy had
seen him stoop down at place where
Mr.. Neil had been standing a short
time before, and during the hunt, after
the discovery of the loss, the old fellow
was searched; but without result
This, in measure, relieved the old
man from suspicion.
"Where was that money when we
searched you, Gill?" asked Mr.. Neil
after the money had been recovered.
II picked it up where you dropped
it," replied the old Negro, "and then
stuck it in a cotton bale where let il
stay until 1 got chance to get it again
without anybody seeing me-"

SHOWER OF NIETEORS.

Another shower of meteors is pre-
dicted. There have been several such
predictions within the past few years
but the meteors have failed to show
up on schedule. Professor E. E. Bar
nard, Chicago astronomer, now tells
us that a shower is due on November
II.
The Atlanta Journal, of Wednesday,
has long story about meteoric show,
ers, furnished by Professor Barnard.
According to the professor the shower
occurs every 33 years. The most no.
table shower on record was that of the
18th of November, 1888. There came
another in 1866, and according to this,
the next is not due until 1899.
But The Journal says there is no
mistake about the date. The astrono-
mer claimed to have worked it out for
the 18th of this month, and though
Professor Barnard is now in Atlanta,
he will hurry back to Chicago, where
he has made elaborate arrangements to
photograph the shower.
In our judgment, the story appears
to be little confused, and after all

FOUND THE MONEY.

Mr.. P. Brooks Neil has recovered the
S125, the loss of which was advertised
in the last issue of THE ENQUIRER
The thief was an old Negro by the
name of William Gill, and the story i:
quite interesting.
On Wednesday morning, Gill wen
into Hopes store at Sharon, made
purchase and handed the clerk, Mr.
Sam Carroll, a $40 bill. Mr.. Carol
knew Gill's circumstances well, was
surprised to see him with $40 bill
and having previously noted Mr.. Nell:
advertisement, was suspicious. He
asked:
"Hello! old man ; you appear to bs
pretty flush this morning. Where die
you get so much money ~
Gill, who lives on Mr.. W. ]. steph
enson's place, said Mr.. Stephenson had
given it to him for cotton picking
The fellow owes an account at the
store, and Mr.. Carroll asked if he
wanted to pay it. He said he could
not pay at that time, as the balance o.
the money belonged to Mr.. Stephen
son, and he would have to carry back
the change.
This tended to confirm Mr.. Carroll's
suspicious, and mounting a horse he
went over to see Mr.. Stephenson, who
said that he had not paid the Negro
any money. Mr.. Neil was commune
Gated with as soon as possible, and
during the day he came to Yorkville
swore out a warrant against Gill, and
took Deputy Sheriff Harshaw back
with him to serve the paper.
When approached by Deputy Har'
shaw, Gill pretended complete inno'
sence of any knowledge of the money
Mr.. Neil assured the Negro that there
was evidence enough to make strong
case. If the money was surrendered
the case would be dropped; otherwise
it would be pushed vigorously. Gill
still hesitated but finally his wife ad-
vised him that if he had Mr.. Neil's

FIRST PRESBYTERY.

The business of the First A. r. Pres
bytery, which held its sessions with
Neely's Creek church this week was
concluded on Tuesday afternoon.
The meeting was harmonious and
business like but the proceedings were
of but little public interest.
All of the ministers of the presby-
terry were present except Revs. c. B.
Belts and J. A. Smith. Both were
kept away by illness.
Rev. J. S. Grier, Of Sharon, presided
as moderator. The financial reports
of the churches were unusually cred
liable.
The next meeting of presbytery will
be held at Winnsboro on Monday after
the first Sabbath in April.

case were unusually blood curdling,
and the whole affair has attracted deep
interest especially in Bullock's Creek
township.
The defendants have been in Jail
since their arrest and were without
counsel until a few weeks ago, when
they secured the services of Messrs.
James F. and John R. Hart. In the
meantime, Solicitor Henry had taken
occasion to visit the scene of the
tragedy, talk with the Witnesses
white and colored- and, as is his GUS
tom, especially in such extraordinary
cases, get as close to the bottom of the
whole shocking business as possible.
Upon the opening of the doors of the
courtroom for the afternoon session on
Thursday, there was big rush for
seats, and within a few moments the
auditorium was crowded. A large
majority of the audience was COM
posed of Negroes, principally from
the neighborhood of the murder.
They had been waiting around the
courthouse nearly all the week, and
showed much eagerness in their efforts
to secure places where they could see
and hear to the best advantage. Be-
fore the trial proceeded very far also,
there were indications which showed
that the feelings of the colored contin.
gent were unusually strong against
the prisoners.
The first witness put up by the state
was Angless Castles, boy who said
he was IA years of age but who looks
and talks like he might be considerably
older. He is the boy who first told
about the killing of old Ben Goore,
aud pointed out the well in which the
BODY was afterward found. AS wit
ness, he proved to be something of a
prodigy. In answer to questions of
the solicitor, he told his story in a
clear, straightforward manner, and was
not the least confused by the searching
questions of such a shrewd cross
examiner as Major Hart.
Briefly, the story of Angles Castles
was to the effect that having talked
about the matter on one or two previ-
Gus occasions, on the night of the 18th
of June, AMI Dunovant and Frank
Castles proceeded to carry out their
plans for doing away with old Ben
Goore. The witness was son of Ben
Goore's wife but worked for Amzi
Dunovant. He lived with Goore ex-
cept when his mother-Eliza Goore-
was away from home, and then he
went to AMI Dunovant's. The two

on Thursday morning took up the case

with the murder of Ben Goore, on the

an old unused well, some weeks after
the killing. The circumstances Of the

MESSAGE SATISFACTORY.
Narrow Escape From a Revolt in the
Senate Over the Delay.

Narrow Escape From a Revolt in the
Senate Over the Delay.
Washington. April 6.-The reasons given
for the nonappearance of the message by
Senator Davis in executive session was
that Gen. Lee wanted further time to get
the Americans out of Havana.
Senators Davis, Lodge and Frye, repre-
senting the committee on foreign relations,
went TO the White House to inquire why
the message was delayed.
The President informed the committee
that Gen. Lee asked for further time and
suggested the withholding of the message
until Americans in Havana could be safe
ly removed.
When Senator Davis made this state
ment in executive session it caused con-
siderable disappointment and an outbreak
was imminent
Senator Chandler asked if the Senator
from Minnesota Davis was allowed to
see the text of the message while at the
White House.
Senator Davis replied that the President
showed it to the committee.
rs it such message as we can afford
10 wait for" inquired Senator Chandler,
tartly
II think so,' retorted Senator Davis,
land / assure you that this is the only
reason the President gives for further de-
lay"
The senator's were pledged to secrecy,
after which the doors were opened and
the regular session was resumed.
