Colored People Trying to Building New
Church.

Church.
Editor of the Yorkville Enquirer:
YoRKvILLE, S. c., March 81, 1885,
Please permit me to say, through the
columns of your paper, that the A. M. E.
Zion church, of this place, is moving
quietly onward. The congregation voted
sometime ago to build new church in
the near future.
Our present building, after the passing
of many winters, tells US that it cannot
serve US any longer. The whole. building
has become dilapidated and ere long will
be too dangerous for service. We are do
ing all we can to raise the money at once.
Quite number of persons are out on the
path begging in the interest of our new
church building. Believing that the
white people here, like those of other
towns, will consider our condition, and as
our own people are deeply stirred over
the matter of building at once, we feel
that success will crown our object. You
will only have to casually observe the
building when you will be readily con-
WINGED that we deserve help.
We hope to raise $500 by the fourth
Sunday in May. Our agents are working
freely. Respectfully,
G. w. MCDOWELL, P. G.

SIOO REV ARD {!

WYE expect to present to the public through
w the columns Of this newspaper, snort
article every week for the next few months,
and we offer q reward Of 500 for a misstate-
ment of any fact that will appear In these COL
umns relative to the Carolina Benevolent AS
sociation. We have a plan OF insurance whlch
does not require the use Of such vehicles as the
landau of misstatement, nor the dog cart OF
strategy, nor the garbage wagon OF abuse, 10
make It go. Anybody who was at-that mass
meeting In the court house In Charlotte on
last Tuesday and heard the plans of this aSso-
ciation explained, and listened to the ringing
words of approval from such men as Captain
s. B. Alexander, Captain s: A. Ashe, Hon Ben
Lacy and Judge James E. Shepherd, must ad-
init that as solvent insurance organization
we are second to none. That we are going to
do business is no longer q question. We have
already .broke dirt The kind OF division
we shall succeed in establishing In the York
Division" which Is composed OF the counties
of York and Chester, depends:
First. Whether the people of this section
want O policy of insurance against death, nc
cident and old age, cheaper than mere life
policy offered by other companies.
Second. Whether the people prefer COM
pany where the liability to death and diSas-
ter is coufined to these two counties, rather
than one which stretches from the malarial
savannahs Of the far south to the rigorS OF the
ice-bound north.
Third. Whether the people prefer home
company oficered by we'll known home men
and which has its books and accounts audited
by EXPERT accountants every thirty days and
published to the world rather than foreign
corporation controlled and managed by Str1tli-
gers. and whose financial condition and busi-
ness affairs are to be Judged by their own
statements. We feel assured that our depend
ence upon these conditions can but result
well.
In the near future n meeting OF the policy
holders of the Farmers Mutual Fire lnsur-
ance Company of York County, will be call
ed for the purpose oftrying to interest them,
as we'll as others, in this plan of life insurance

l have no partner to leave these
matters with, and it is almost a
crime against your mother coun-

you can readily see that is with
much forbearance that l suppress

my last years business affairs.
Don't delay and thus keep an

MONDAYS DEVELOPMENTS.
Brief Summary of War Talk In Tuesdays
Papers.

Except the happenings elsewhere re-
ported, there have been no important
developments in the war situation
since our last issue. There was moth
ing sensational in the morning papers
of yesterday, Tuesday. Following is
q synopsis of the more important
items:
Senator Thurston, who has just re-
turned from Cuba, gave out an inter-
view in Omaha, Nebraska, in which
he said he would speak in the senate
on the Cuban question, tomorrow,
Thursday. He said that if the report
of the court of inquiry should fix res
possibility for the explosion on Span
ish officials, there would be nothing
left for the United States but to i'm
mediately begin hostilities. He is in
favor of war as the only means of saw
ing the thousands of peaceful Cubans
who are now starving to death.
The Spanish government has insti-
tuted a rigid censorship of the press,
which does not allow any war news to
come or 60 from Spain by telegraph,
or otherwise, if the news is distasteful
to the government.
Senator Chandler, of New Hamp-
shire, is responsible for the statement
that the president is determined to
relieve starving Cubans if he has to
send them food by United States
soldiers.
1t is estimated that proposed fortifi-
cations at Dry Tortugas will cost
81, 900, 900, and that they cannot be
completed in less than two years.
The war department is not inclined
to proceed unless assured by the navy
that the work is necessary.
Reports from all parts of the coun-
try indicate the greatest activity in
war preparations of all kinds. Arms
