willing to abandon the place, which is
the key to the lake road. General
Hall, hearing that General Malbar was
preparing to make an attack, sent
Major Weisenberger, with three CON-
panies of the 2lst Infantry, three
troops of cavalry and one of Hamil-
tons guns, to attack the insurgents.
This detachment found force of 1000
rebels behind hastily made intrench-
ments. The rebels held their fire un-
til the contingent of the 21st regiment
was within 800 yards, when they fired
a volley. The Americans dropped in
the high grass out of sight and return.
ed the fire. Lieutenant Love, who
was walking erect along the front of
the men, was shot in the arm. An in
surgent officer, equally brave, stood at
the top of the trenches, directing the
fire of the insurgents until he was
killed, when the Filipinos fled. Dur
ing the fighting on the north side of
the town a small body of insurgents
to enter on the south side,
but troop of cavalry repulsed them.
The total American loss at Calamba
was seven killed and 20 wounded.
Sixteen dead insurgents have been
found.

be based principally on tecbnicality
which will not in the least affect the
merit of the question. The act under
which the graded school is being oper-
ated, provides that the trustees must
hold their annual meeting between the
1st day of June and the Goth day of
July. This year they held it on the
goth day of July, and ordinarily when
an act fixes an event to take place be-
tween two dates, the dates specified
are excluded from the count. In a
case like this, though, where the prin-
cipal point is the will of majority OF
the people interested, it is not likely
that a court would allow the expressed
wish of the majority to be thwarted
by an irrelevant technicality.
Still, however, there has not been
any general reconciliation on the
school question. The dissatisfied talk
on the streets has not in the least
abated. 1t continues in whispers, but
not single ground of complaint has
risen above the dignity of a rumor.
So long as it is in that shape, of course,
it is not entitled to respectful con-

TAX CARRIES.

The Yorkville Graded schools will
continue as heretofore, barring con-
tingencies which cannot now be fore
seen.
The second election, made necessary
by the indecisive character of the first
was held last Tuesday, and resulted
unanimously in favor CT the tax. In
all 40 votes were cast.
AS to whether or not there will be
any litigation, has not yet been de-
finitely settled but it is not considered
likely that there will be. Even if
there should be, it will not amount to
a great deal, so some pretty well in
formed lawyers think.
The litigation, if there be any, will

FAILED TO COMPLY.

August /, the day upon which GER
tain unknown New York parties had
promised to make their first 10 per
cent. payment on the purchase of the
Carolina and Northwestern railroad
securities has gone by. So has Au-
gusts and 4; but as yet the New
York parties have not met their obll-
cations, and the railroad is still hang
ing high in the air.
The ENQUIRER called up Mr.. Thcs.
H. White, of Chester, by telephone
last Wednesday and asked him if the
New York parties had complied with
their agreement. He said that they
had not complied !; that there had been
some teIegraphic correspondence dur
ing the few days previous, and that
the result was very much in doubt.
In fact it looked as if the New York
parties had backed down completely.
The Columbia State of yesterday
contained a Chester special stating
that the stock and bonds of the road
had been transferred to Mr.. VIM. A.
Barber. The ENQUIRER called up
Mr.. White again and asked him if the
statement was true. Mr.. White said
that it was not true, and that the sit
nation was still involved in as much
uncertainty as during the several days
previous. He did not intimate his abil-
ity to see anything at all encouraging
in the situation.
Dir. White was also asked if he had
heard anything whatever that gave
him reasonable assurance that the
Seaboard Air Line was trying to get
the property. He said that if there is
anything of the kind on foot he knows
nothing whatever about it.

- Speaking of takers and the ten
dency of some public men to talk too
much, it will not be amiss to take a
look at VIM. J. Bryan in this respect.
Bryan is talker, and good one. The
country has not previously produced a
man who could talk more sound sense
with fewer repititions of himself.
There has never been a public man
in this country who was quicker to
arrive at a sound conclusion with
regard to any public question, or
who had less hesitation about COM
hitting himself. But that is not
nearly all. 1t is universally con-
ceded that it is the duty of the
soldier not to talk but to obey. There
was not colonel in the late volunteer
army who did less talking than Bryan.
Colonel Bryan kept his mouth shut
absolutely about matters concerning
the conduct of the war. There Was
not word of criticism or a word of
complaint. If there had been it would
certainly got into the papers. And
here is the suggestion of another COM
mendable fact in connection with the
record of this remarkable man. He
has never had to complain about being
misrepresented. He has never had to
deny any publication of alleged re-
marks or claim that any remarks
credited to him were not intended for
publication. In bis case, it is because
be did not say it. There is no question
of the fact that Mr.. Bryan is a
most remarkable man. He has worn
much better than even the wisest
Judges ever had any idea he would,
and it is a self-evident fact that he has
the confidence of the entire country
to a greater extent now than ever be-
fore.

S. c., with a big hole in his head, made,
he says, by Negro hitting him in the
head with an axe. II was killed." he
said, "by Niger down there" He

The Crescent Company.
The Rock Hill cotton mill, recently
sold at public auction for S3l 900, is to
be operated by new company recent

company is to consist of 5000 shares
of the par value of 500 each. Quite
a number of changes, of course, are to
be made in the present plant, which
originally cost $4,000.
Chaingang and County Home Supplies.
An interesting feature of the regular
monthly meeting of the county board
of commissioners on Wednesday next,
will be the letting of the contract to

NEGROES WANT A FREE PAss.-A
sensation was created in the session of
the African Methodist Episcopal pre-
siding elders council Of Georgia and
Alabama at Birmingham Thursday
night when the committee on the state
of the country reported a resolution
recommending that a committee be
appointed by the council to set before
the United States congress the deplor-
able condition of the Negro population
in several of the southern states and
to petition for an appropriation OF
$lOO,0OO,0OO to start line of steamers
between the United States and Africa
in order to enable all Negroes who
may desire to do so, 10 emigrate to
Africa.
Bishop Turner, of Atlanta, who pre-
sided, explained that he did not desire
the government to carry emigrants free
to Africa, but take them direct and at
reasonable cost. He said European
immigrants are landed in this country
at from $40 to SIS each. "But," said
he, "in going to Africa one must GO
via England, thus crossing the ocean
twice at cost of $780,"

taken, at least with two or three ex-
ceptions. OF course this officer could
not be quoted, for all that he said was
in private conversation in a private
place, and to give him away would
be very questionable conduct on the
part of the newspaper man who
heard him. The act would be just
as mean as was that of the man
who quoted Admiral Dewey the
other day. However, there is little
reason 10 doubt that the admiral said
what he is quoted as having said, and
furthermore, there is reason to believe
that it will not be great while before
the threatened war with Germany
will develop. This country has not
gotten as much war as it wants.
German interests conflict with ours in
a great many instances. A war be-
tween this country and Germany
would necessarily be a naval war.
This country has good reason to be-
believe that it can wipe Germany up
from the sea with comparative ease.
The "might makes right" doctrine is
getting stronger in this country every
day, and when Dewey said that the
next war would be with Germany, We
believe he knew what he was talking
about.

RLACK BEES VS.. ITALIANS.

Mr.. Thos. j. Nichols was In YoDk-
Vile Thursday selling to his customers
some very fine honey, and the reporter
took occasion to ask him some ques-
tions on a point that is Of more or less
interest to bee people.
1t will be remembered that some
weeks ago, Mr.. I'll. G. Simpson, OF
Cata VIDA Junction told the reporter
that the Italian is the only bee that can
extract honey from cotton blooms and
she can only do it when the cotton
plants are backward and droopy on
account of dry weather, etc.
Mr.. Nichols corroborates the state
ment of Mr.. Simpson with regard to
this matter completely. He says that
he has both black bees and Italian
bees, and all the honey that he is BOW
getting is being produced by the Italian
bees. He is unable to say with GER
tainty as to whether the black bees
are even making living during the
present season.
Mr.. Nichols said also that some bee
men think that it is the pea bloom
instead of the cotton bloom from
which bees make honey at this season.
The facts, however, 60 still further to
sustain Mr.. Simpsons testimony. The
pea crop has been very backward this
year, and in Mr.. Nichols's neighbor'
hood there have been no blooms of any
consequence. The cotton plant is in
exactly the condition that is described
by Mr.. Simpson as most favorable.
Mr.. Nichols is not inclined, however
to be too severe on the black bee. He
says that although for the whole years
work the Italian is the best, the black
bee makes better honey and more of ii
during the early spring than her Italian
competitor.

- Supervisor Culp calls the attention
of landowners to the law requiring
them to clean out the streams running
through their lands during the month
of August. This law has now been on
the statute books sufficient length of
time to warrant it's being pretty we'll
understood. 1t is pretty good law,
too, although a little unpopular with
people on whose toes it presses. 1t is
to be hoped, however, that this year
everybody will comply with it to such
an extent as to avoid unpleasant law
suits hereafter.

- Merit, efficiency, capacity should
determine all contests between indi-
viduals. There is no other safe rule.
All other considerations invite danger
or disaster. What kind of an idiot is
he who would pay the same price for
a wornout, decrepit old horse as he
would a healthy, vigorous young one? ?
What kind of fool is it who would
hold that one acre OF land is as valua-
BILE as another, regardless of the natu.
raj or artificial advantages of either =?
What is to be thought of the lunatic
who holds by word, thought or deed
that an ignorant, inexperienced dunn
my can give as good service in a pub
lie capacity as can man of character,
Intelligence and experience? Equal
rights to all and special privileges to
none is good doctrine. 1t is sacred
doctrine. 1t is absolutely essential,
however, that we should consider the
eternal fitness of things in its applica'
ton.

PENITENTIARY INVESTIGATION.

The Penitentiary Investigating com
mittee has been pursuing its labors in
Greenville this week. The proceed.
ings of Wednesday bad spice of local
interest. just how or why is not
clear; but Mr.. w. II. Stewart, Of
Rock Hill, came in for little investi'
CATION. Mr.. Stewart, it will be re-
membered, secured job in connection
with the building of Winthrop college,
and about that time he built fine
house. The following, relative to the
matter, is from The News and Courier
Mr.. w. o. Rawls testified that he
was in charge of the city waterworks
in Yorkville. When Winthrop was
built he was a guard. Then he ran
the waterworks at Winthrop. He was
there when Mr.. w. H. Stewards house
was being built. He was sent up to
the house and was a guard for some
two days for plastering done on Mr..
Stewards house. He did not see any
convicts there at any other time. He
hauled some waiuscoating, etc., from
the college to Mr.. Stewards house, and
hauled some doors from a side track to
Stewards house. He thought several
barrels of Stacked lime were hauled.
Some ballusters, not oak, were hauled
to Mr.. Stewards house. He had
charge of the feed, and saw Mr.. Stew
arts horse fed for a while out of his
own corn, and later on Colonel Neal
said that as Mr.. Stewards horse was
being used around the grounds he
should be fed out Of the states corn.
There was convict around Mr.. Stew
arts house morning and evening, but
he did not know what he was doing
there or why he was there.
Cross examination Said he remain
ed there until the college was finished
and worked for two years for the col
lege and then accepted better posi-
ton. Mr.. Stewards house is very near
the main college building. The con-
vict about Mr.. Stewards was subject
to his call. There was convict who
took out the buggy and sometimes at.
tended the cows. The buggy was used
in college work. Mr.. Stewart had
charge of The college building.
He did not know who paid for the
moulding, wainscoating, doors, ect.,
taken to Mr.. Stewards house. There
were FIVE or six convicts, who plastered
the house for two days. 1t may have
been paid for, but he knew nothing
about that. He hauled three or four
loads of moulding. He did not know
of anything wrong being done.
Mr.. Logan Pope, carpenter, living
at Rock Hill, said he was employed
by Mr.. Stewart in building his house.
When he went there two convicts were
plastering. There were some rem
nants from the college used in the
Stewart house. They consisted OF
short pieces of moulding, some wains,
coating, some mantels, some doors.
He did not know where the lime came
from. He thought the states teams
hauled the remnants.

- The northern papers continue TO
discuss with great earnestness the
question as to whether Admiral Dewey,
really said that this country's next
war would be with Germany. So far
as THE ENQUIRER is concerned, it
believes that the admiral said just
what he is reported to have said. We
have, however, no idea that he inten-
ded that his remark should find its
way into print. There are few indl-
viduals of Importance who do not like
to talk, on occasion, and notwithstand'
ing all that has been said to the con-
trary, We do not believe that Admiral
Dewey is much Of an exception to
the general rule. Of course, he is not
inclined to blab official matters, that
should be kept private, into the
newspapers; but we feel persuaded
that when he finds himself in the
company of congenial spirits, he i:
OF slow to give his opinions on the
questions of the day. There is nc
doubt about the fact that Admiral
Dewey has said some pretty rough
things to and about the Germans. We
get the information from an Officer
who was at Manila at the time ant
knew whereof he spoke. The office
told of a number of incidents which
he said the newspapers had neve
gotten hold of ;" but in that he was mis-
