Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
ETA JANE, March 1.-"Fog in March
frost in May" is an old saying in which
some people put much confidence. There
is about as much sense in eating every
thing you see as believing everything you
hear. So far we have had an unpreced-
entedly mild winter, and the wheat and
early sown oats are making good show,
especially where the ground has been
we'll prepared.
The people of Yorkville and York
county will, no doubt, be glad to know
that J. b. Bell, Esq, formerly Of the
Yorkville bar, is taking good stand in
his profession in this county. He has
Hon. VIM. Munro and James Munro,
Esq, of Union, associated with him in
the practice of law. The Munros have an
enviable reputation, both in their crimi-
nal and civil practice of law. 1t is an evil
dence that our new county has an able bar,
considering the short time in which it
had for organization. Of course we count
the lawyers of Blacksburg as members OF
the Gaffney bar.
Last Wednesday was cash Wednes-
day." and if the old Dutch sign is worth
anything, we may look for fall of in the
price of flour.
There are some farmers still at work
sowing oats. Of this crop more has been
sown this year than in any one year since
1881.
Mrs. J. L. Strain and daughter, Miss
Jessie, are visiting Mrs. Carrie 1nman

Mr.. Joe Estes who cut his foot about
five weeks ago is suffering greatly from
it yet. His foot has healed over, but his
body is racked with uncomfortable pain,
and he is forced to take spirits constant
ly to allay his suffering. DR.. NJ. w.
Smith, of Gaffney, who for long time
was assistant surgeon under DIR. j. r.
Bratton in the army, has been called to
see him. The patient is about 25 years
old.

THE USURY LAW.

There were some very important
amendments to the usury law at the
last session of the general assembly.
The matter is not only of general in
terest but of especial local interest.
Here is the full text of the law as it
now reads:
Section /. That no greater interest than
Z per cent. per annum shall be charged,
taken, agreed upon, or allowed, upon any
contract arising in this state for the hir-
ing, lending or use of money, or other
commodity, either by way of straight in
terest, discount or otherwise, except upon
written contract, wherein by express
agreement, a rate of interest not exceed
ing per cent, may be charged.
Sec. .. Any person or corporation who
shall receive or contract to receive, as in
terest, any greater amount than is provi-
ded for in the preceding section, shall
forfeit all interest and the cost of the ac-
ton and such portion of the original debt
as shall he due shall he recovered without
interest or costs, and where any amount
so charged or contracted for has been ac-
tually received by such person or corpo-

day night. On this occasion Mr.. Wilson's
arrangement of Sousa's Lady Of the
White House" will be rendered by the
band, and Mr.. r. c. Freeman, the noted
singer and cornetiSt, of Steel Creek, will
be with the band and render some of his
choicest numbers.
Municipal Registration.
Under the law, 80 days previous to any
general municipal election, the intendant
is required to appoint municipal super
visor of registration, whose duty it is to
register all duly qualified municipal vot-
ers. No citizen can vote in municipal
election unless he has been previously
registered. New registration certificates
are required for each succeeding munich
pal election. The reporter learned on
Thursday, that in January last, the inten-
dant appointed Mr.. a. +. Mcconnell as
supervisor of registration; but so far as
THE ENQUIRER is aware, the fact has
not heen made public. We are not aware
either on what day the appointment was
made. Assuming, however, that it was
on the first day of January, there are now
left at least 25 days in which citizens may
register in order to qualify themselves to
vote in the next municipal election. The
showing of state registration certificates
and municipal tax receipts constitute a
prerequisite to registration. Whether
the supervisor goes to the voter or the
voter to the supervisor, the law does not
say but those who desire to vote in the
neA municipal election will do well to
xHply to Mr.. Mcconnell for Al certificate.

As TO TRESSPASSERS.

The general assembly, at its recent ses-
sion, made an important change in the
criminal statutes so far as the same re.
lates to trespass. On this subject the law
is now as follows:
Section l76. Every entry upon the lands
of another after notice from the owner or
tenant prohibiting the same, shall be a
misdemeanor, and be punished by fine
not to exceed 500 or imprisonment with
hard labor on the public wor Ks of the
county not exceeding 80 days. Provided.
that whenever any owner or tenant of
any lands shall post a notice in four con-
spicuous places on the borders of any
land prohibiting entry thereon, and shall
publish once week for four successive
weeks, such notice in any newspaper cir
culating in the county where such lands
are situate, a proof of the posting and OF
publishing of such notice within twelve
months prior to the entry, shall be deem-
ed and taken as notice conclusive against
the person making entry as aforesaid, for
hunting or fishing.

THE PROHIBITION MOVEMENT.

Noting that the name OF Rev. w. G.
Neville, of Yorkville, is signed to the call
for state convention of Prohibitionists,
to meet in Columbia on April IA, the re-
porter called at Mr.. Neville's residence
on Thursday for the purpose of getting
some additional information.
Mr.. Neville was hard at work in his
study when the reporter was announced
but courteously submitted to brief inter
rupti0n, during which the reporter asked
him a number of questions, the answers
to which may throw some additional
light on the situation. =
II have been in correspondence with
Chairman Childs for several weeks" Mr..
Neville said, land while fully sympa-
thize with all the objects of the proposed
movement, have not exactly given my
consent to serve as member OF the state
executive committee. Besides, a natur-
al aversion to participation in move
ment which smacks so strongly of poll
tics, do not think that it is exactly the
right thing for a minister anyway. But
still, the movement is in the right direc-
ton, and I hope it will be pushed with
vigor. What may try to do in the mat
ter will depend very largely upon circum-
stances but from my present view of the
situation am inclined to do what 1 can
to help organize the Prohibition people in
this county"
Mr.. Neville explained that from the
outset he took the position that if the
movement was to be in the nature Of a
separate party organization, outside of
the regular Democratic party, he could
have nothing whatever to do with it. He
thinks that any movement which might
lead to a political division of the white
people of the state would be something to
be deplored, and it is his understanding
that while it is the purpose of the Prohl-
btionists to nominate ticket, that tick ct
will be subject entirely to the action of
the regular Democratic primary.
Upon being asked as to whether or not
he would issue call for a convention of
Prohibitionists of York county, Mr.. Ne
Vile gave the reporter to understand that
he had not yet definitely decided. In the
shape of matters up to the present, he is
not disposed to consider that he has really
committed himself to take any official
action OF any kind.

REV. Il. A, JOHNSON.

The last issue of The Southern Chris
tan Advocate has an editorial announce
ment of the death of Rev. Louis A. john
son, concluding with beautiful apostro-
phe, as follows:
Soldier of Christ, well DONE
Thou hast fought the good fight, thou
hast kept the faith, thou hast finished thy
course. Thy strong arm never failed, thy
brave soul never feared-because thor
couldst sing:
''My strength is as the strength of ten.
Because my heart is pure"
There is not a stain on thy shield. 1t is
dented by many blow, by many a
thrust-but it was never soiled nor lower
ed before any foe. There is not blem-
ish in thy record. Thou didst fear and
love God-to man there vas no fear, but
only love. Lay down thine arms and ar
NOR. The battle has been fought. The
victory has been won. The crown Is
waiting for thee. Gc-though it wounds
our hearts to lose thae-yet, go-that thy
Lord may say, "Well DONE" and may
give thee thy crowu of righteousness.
SERVANT of God, we'll done
Rest from thy loved employ
The battles fought, the victory won,
Enter thy Masters JOY"

informed the public as to every develop
ment of the Maine inquiry that has been
known to the administration. The i'm
preston is given out that the court of in
quiry is keeping all information strictly
to itself, and will not tell anything until
it is ready to make it's final report. AS to
whether the court will report as soon as
it completes it's work or wait until the re-
port is called for by the president, no
official statement has been made.

-" "There is," says an Associated Press
dispatch, considerable sentiment in con-
gress in favor of passing bill authorz-
ing the president to appoint from civil
life brigadier general. This sentiment
is based upon the belief and hope that the
president would named Fitzhugh Lee to
the post. Republicans favor the sugges-
tions, believing that it would he a tre-
mendous political stroke. This is based
on the admirable conduct of Lee and the
that all parties and men here
have for him."

- The trial of Sheriff Martin and the
deputies who slaughtered the striking
miners at Hazelton, Pa, drags along
slowly at Wilksbarre. The miners claim
that they were fired into without provo

that they did not fire until the strikers
had beaten the sheriff almost to death.
The outlook is that the sheriff and depu-
ties are to be acquitted and the slaughter
justified.
