monds of South Africa can be laughed
to scorn.. The American, the German,
the jew and many another of the
worlds nations has made his fortune
in the Transvaal mines and the Kim
berly Diamond pits. The British Gov
eminent has never made a farthing
from the mines, and is probably out
and injured in the matter of keeping
the heterogeneous population in order.
The trouble with the Transvaal ques-
ton, as with the Philippine question,
is that people will consider the senti-
mental side instead of the practical one.
They are carried away with a floating
idea and do not pause to see that there
are far greater interests, far greater
rights, far greater duties devolving up
on both the United States and the Unit
ed Kingdom than belong to the bigoted
seventeenth century Beers or the an
archistc Filpinos, who only want a
ideal of happiness.
There is undoubtedly a school of
| thought which believes in the divine
right of disagreement, but it is a
school which is utterly and completely
wrong. Nations, like mankind, have a
mission and it is their duty, as it is
the duty of the individual to do good to
those around them. Many a missionary
in the slums has had to thrash a recall
citrant into being a good citizen. Some
whole peoples have to be treated the
| same.

a SILVER

A val! from Washington in
the shape OF a statement from George
E. Roberts. Director OF the Mint. He
has discovered that there is a silver
shortage.
He says: The swelling retail trade
has conght the country without
enough money Of small denoAin-
atoms"
He adds; There is a pressing need
for mere fractional silver bnt no law
under which the increase can be
made"
He also says that the public wants
silver certificates.
1t is amusing to note that the East
eru people are anxious to grab silver
certificates at par, but the silver DOL
lar with which the Government
promises to redeem them they only
consider to be worth so cents. In
other words the papers promise to pay
is worth double the price Of the money
the note is paid IN.
The people advocating this system
Of finance keep sending men to Con-
gress who get up and pirate on de
preciated currency.
Some years ago the Republicans
were telling the people 10 vote against
silver as the Treasury was glutted
with it.
Now the Director Of the Mint ad-
mits that there is not enough subsi-
day silver to cary on the increased
business of the country, and a law
must be passed to remedy the short
age.
The people were tod from a thous-
and platforms that more silver would
be needed soon ard low they admit it
and also admit that the country will
have TO wait until the necessary legis-
alton can Dc had,
III the midst Of all this the gold
men OF the country so.emnly assert
that the silver cause is dead.

SAM DAVIS

Under this heading the News of
Thursday makes some very mislead-
ing statements.
The salary OF Mr.. Davis is correct
ly stated which is certainly remark
able.
Mr.. Doane is deputy and is employ
ed because of his ability and integrity
He was Secretary of State Howell's
Deputy for four years and proved one
Of the most efficient clerks in the
State Capitol. The salary he received
supported a family and does not bene
fit Mr.. Davis any more than it does
Mr. Lennon.
Rev G. r. Davis was also appoint
ed four years ago and continues his
position at the request of Mr.. Hender-
son, Warden Of the Prison. Does Mr.
Lennon think that 5000 a gear sup
ports the aged couple aud pays a roy
atty to his son besideso
Miss Davis is not a clerk about the
Capitol with a salary Of 5000. Sec
rotary Of State Howell, unsoliciated,
appointed her to assist Miss Toffey-
son in indexing the Journals Of the
two houses OF the late Legislature and
her employment cease when her
work is done.
As for the present management of
the APPEAL it is in the hands Of the
0 of the founder Of the paper and
what City, County and State support
is derived from the source mentioned
is only the perQuisites Of the victor.

With his Head i'm the Sand
the Ostrich is, Secure.

THE object of the Southeastern Tariff
l. association is to promote correct
methods in underwriting and to encour-
age proper construction in building, to
encourage the proper enforcement OF
building ordinances, and otherwise tend
to prevent serious confagrations in con-
gested building districts in towns and
cities. With Of course some exceptions,
most of the reliable companies doing bu-
siness are members OF the said association,
though it's fact that non-assoclation COM
panies often require higher rates than DO
association companies, which means that
they don't want the risk at ANY price.
FIRE INSURANCE COMPANIES go
upon the theory that "man's work Is
cheaper than fires work." and through
the experience of all the companies COM
posing the association united effort is
made to prevent construction that will
originate or promote extended cont1agra-
tions. Are the objects Of such an associa-
ton menace to society or the we'll being
of the state? I think not, and am pre-
pared to write fire insurance which will
protect whether your head is in or out OF
the sand. L. GEO. GRIST, Agent.
There are some companies that won't
write dwellings with improperly" con-
structed or terra Gotta fues; but the
wildcaters will scoop them in without
"distinction" if they are not burned be-
fore their obliging and accommodating
agent inpects them. They are always
hustling for suckers. The competition
between reliable companies exists in the
prompt manner in which they settle their
claims. L. GEO. g., Agt.

Died In New Orleans.
Fort Mill Times: The body of Mr..
Julian w. Withers was brought here
for burial from New Orleans last Fri
day, accompanied by his brother, Mr..
Alphonzo B. Withers. The funeral
services were conducted in the Presby-
terian, church of which the deceased
was a member, by Rev. DR.. ]. II.
Thornwell, in the presence of large
congregation of friends and number
of relatives. "Jule," as he was famil.
iarly known to his friends in this Sec
ton, was generous-bearted boy with
such a noble nature as is rarely met
with. He was the youngest child OF
the late and lamented Thos. B. With
ers, and was 20 years of age. He was
in the railroad business at the time of
his sudden death from grip, having
been i'll only two or three days.
Charged With Murder.
Mr.. John Pursley, constable for Mag
istrate McMackin, of Kings Mountain
township, came in yesterday with John
Falls, who is charged with the killing
of Monroe Love, on the night of Feb.
ruary 10. The warrant for the arrest
of Love was issued by Coroner Brian
on the finding of the jury of inquest.
Falls has been hiding out since the
tragedy; but was captured by Consta-
BILE Pursley on Thursday night at about
11.3O o'clock. He has but little 10 say
except that be admits having fired one
shot, during the fracas, at Tom Tate,
who was running away. He claims
emphatically that he did not shoot
Love or at him. Since the inquest, a
number of facts have come out which
seem to implicate Tate as the man
who fired the fatal shot. There has
been no affidavit against him, however, ,
and he has not been arrested.

Rhyme is now in Monroe Jail as a
precaution for safe-keeping. Not that
fears of lynching are entertained by
the officers of the law; but because
the Monroe Jail cells are believed to
be more secure than ours. The pris-
oner had but little to say. He bore
up quite well until Thursday night
when, after being taken back to the
Jail, he broke down and wept like a
child through most of the night. Fri
day he appeared as one with nerves
unstrung. Saturday, however, he stood
up and received his death sentence
with stoical .countenance, scarcely
moving a muscle as he heard the
judges awful words. 1t is reported
that in talking about the case Rhyme
said "They've got me and got the

with me. I expect they are going to
hang me and I'll try to be prepared"

OUT IN THE PHILIPPINES.
What the Americans Are Doing Out In the
Far East.


The progress of American opera.
tions in the Philippines continues as
the leading topic of the day. Interest
does not centre 80 much in the actual
work of putting down the Fiiipinos as
it does in possible developments that
might grow out of the present silua'
ton.
An alarming story was put into cir
culation last Tuesday. Just how or
where it originated has never been as
certained; but within a few hours it
was spread to the remotest corners of
the world, and created especial excite
ment in the telegraph towns through,
out the United States. 1t was to the
effect that Notwithstanding the plain
orders of Admiral Dewey not to do
anything of the kind, the captain of
the German warship Irene sent ashore
steam pinnacle loaded with marines,
who were ordered to protect German
interests in Manila, and Admiral Dew
ey promptly sunk the Irene in the har-
Dor. This, of course, meant war, or
at least situation that could not be
lightly adjusted.
All along, it will be remembered,
there has been an almost universal
impression that the feelings between
the United States and Germany were
anything but cordial. There were
good grounds for this impression. The
Germans were at one time quite in-
solent to Admiral Dewey. The Fill
pinos appreciated this feeling to its
fullest extent and they were constant
ly intriguing to bring about clash.
In view of the alarming report ofTues-
day, the German government took
steps to prevent the possibility of d
future clash. 1t ordered away from
Manila the only German vessel station.
ed there-the Kaserin Augusta-aud
requested the American government
to afford protection to German inter-
ests. This action on the part of Ger
many clears up the Manila situation
SO far as the probability of foreign
Intervention is concerned and brings
about a general feeling of relief.

A SON OF HIS FATHER.

Colonel James H. Tillman is trying
to inaugurate some kind of state
testimonial in favor OF Major Micah
Jenkins, who, Colonel Tillman claims,
is the South Carolina hero of the Span,
ish war. Major jenkins is son of the
late General Micah jenkins, of Con-
federate fame, West Pointer and q
brother of Lieutenant John NJ. Jen-
kins. He was formerly lieutenant
in the United States army, but was
dismissed from the service several
years ago and when the Spanish war
broke out volunteered in the hope of
retrieving the good name that he had
injured by his indiscretion. He was q
member of the Rough Rider regiment
and Colonel Tillman has commenced
his work by securing letter of recon
mendation from Colonel Roosevelt.
The letter is published in the Augusta
Herald of last Wednesday, and the
full text of it is as follows:
State of New York, Executive
Chamber, Albany-Feb. %, 1899. -
Colonel J. II. Tillman, Edgeield, S. c.

NV. do not believe that in the whole
service could be found braver OF
more gallant soldier. He entered my
regiment as junior captain and handled
his troops so well in the Guasimas
fight, that at the request of all the 9th
er captains, at the San Juan fight
made him an acting major and he was
made major because of the gallantry
and efficiency he there displayed.
have also recommended him for bre
vet because of his gallantry. He was
beside me when we charged from ket
tie hill to the second line of entrench
ments, and he afterwards went or
practically by himself until he rar
into the Spanish lines and had to bt

head and his coat almost to tatters

fail in performing his whole duty anc

BETTER MAIL FACILITIES.

The quadrennial letting of the con-
tracts to carry star route mails in this
section takes place next fall, and now
is the time for people interested to take
steps looking to the Improvement o.
their mail facilities by the establish
ment of new postofices, new routes, etc
The establishment of country post
Office, or q new mail route, does no,
involve difficulties beyond certain
amount of labor in getting up peti
tions and the necessary information
for the postofice department. That is
of course, provided there is need fol
the new Office, or the new route, as
the case may be, and this can be shown
to the satisfaction of the postoffice de-
partment.
Among the new routes of which THE
ENQUIRER has information of being in
contemplation, is circular route in
Fort Mill township, and another
straight route from Yorkville to
Thorn's, or Neely's, ferry or some
other point on Catawba river in the
vicinity of the places named. AT
present there is only one postoffice in
Fort Mill township and that is in the
town of Fort Mill. By the establish.
ment of new star route on which
the mails will leave Fort Mill
say twice a week-Wednesdays and
Saturdays-and the establishment ol
four or FIVE new posto6ices; one al
GriAin's store, one at Mr.. B. M. Far.
ris's, one at Kimbrell's store, one at S.
P. Blankenship's, and one at the
"Springs place." pretty nearly the
whole township may be supplied with
in a trip of Is miles. The people
along the Thorn's ferry road are now
pretty badly off for mail facilities,
which may be supplied by route
from here to the Catawba river.
The establishment of postofice on
the Lincoln road, at some point be-
tween Yorkville and Bethel, is very
desirable. From Yorkville to Bethel
is something over 10 miles, and post,
Office at some halfway point would be
a great convenience to large number
of people.
As yet but little has been done TO-
ward the establishment of the post
offices or mail routes either in Fort
Mill township, or between here and
Catawba river; but if there can be
found accommodating citizens who
will be willing to act as postmasters,
and the people are sufficiently interest
ed to sign the necessary petitions now
in process of preparation, everything
can be gotten in readiness to be put in
operation by or before the next letting
of contracts.
