yer when the supply of silver was in
creasing, it must now be easier to
maintain the parity since the supply
of gold is increasing.
"On the trust question / suggest the
following propositions for your consld-
erations: First, the trust is a menace
to the welfare of the people of the
United States, because it creates mo-
nopoly and gives to the few in control
of the monopoly most unlimited power
over the lives and happiness OF con:
sumers, employees and producers OF
raw material. Second, the president
appoints the attorney general and can,
if he desires, secure an attorney gen.
eral who will enforce the antitrust
laws. Third, the attorney general can
recommend sufficient laws if present
laws are insufficient. Fourth, the at
torney general can recommend an
amendment to the constitution if the
present constitution makes it impossl-
sible to extinguish the trusts. Fifth,
the Republican party is powerless to
extinguish the trusts 80 long as the
trusts furnish the money to continue
the Republican party in power.
"In the Philippine question certain
fundamental principles are involved.
First, there are but two sources OF
government-force and consent-mon-
arches being founded upon force, re-
publics upon consent. Second, the
Declaration of Independence asserts
that all governments derive their just
powers from the consent of the govern
ed. Third, if the declaration of inde-
pendence is sound, we cannot rightful-
ly acquire title to the Philippine is
lands by conquest or by purchase from
an alien monarchy to whose rebelli-
Gus subjects we ourselves furnished
arms. Fourth, if the Filipinos are and
of right ought to be free, they should
be Immediately assured of our nations
intention to give them independence
as soon as stable government can be
established. Fifth, the Filipinos hav-
ing fallen into our hands by accident Of
war should be dealt with according to
American principles, and not only be
given independence; but protected
from outside interference while they
work out their own Destiny"

Graded School Election.
An election was held Thursday to
decide whether or not the people OF
York vile were willing to continue to
pay the special tax for the support of
the Graded school. There was much
apathy on the part of the people gen.
orally; but some quiet ard effective
work on the part of various opponents
of the school, and upon their face the
returns showed refusal to allow the
tax. The vote stood Is to 1S. Upon
investigation yesterday, however, the
trustees found that there were 81 votes
cast and only SO were counted, where
upon, as will be seen elsewhere, they
have ordered a new election.

Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
BLACKsBURG, July 20.-The long
dry spell from which our section of
the state has been suffering, was
broken last night, and, between the
hours of II and 2 o'clock, there was
such fall of rain as we have not had
for several years. 1t was accompanied
by pretty strong wind and quite a
frightful display of lightning. Upland
feds and the lowland on small
streams suffered the greatest damage,
and much of the large corn was blown
to the ground, but not otherwise in
jured.
There were two railroad washouts.
One on the Southern, near Broad river !;
the other on the Gaffney branch of the
S. G. & G. E. They were promptly
repaired though and trains are run
ming through this afternoon.
The flashes of lightning were fire.
quent and startling, and although it
did no damage in the town, several
buildings and trees were struck in the
county, among them barn belonging
to Mr.. J. S. Mintz, which caught fire
and burned to the ground with all of
it's contents, consisting of wheat, oats,
corn, hay, straw, etc., also mule, be-
longing to a visitor of one of Mr..
Mintz's tenants. The loss is $500 or
$500.
Mr.. J. A. Maxwell, the active eff
cient supervisor Of the S. G. and G. E.
railroad, has recently placed new
steam shovel, with all of its equip
ments, out on the road, and it is doing
some splendid work under the man
agement of that veteran and skillful
engineer, Captain George w. Maring.
1t is now south of this place.
Mr.. D. R. Bird is building another
handsome brick store house adjoining
the one he purchased from Mr.. Ira
Hardin last year. He is also preparing
to erect brick dwelling on Carolina
street, on the lot adjoining that of Mr..
N. w. Hardin.
The large brick manufactury of
Messrs. Eskridge, Pollock, Whisonant
and w. F. Dye, on the eastern side of
town, will soon be in successful ope-
ration and will add a good deal to the
business of our town.

THE CHICAGO PLATFORM.
Big Rally Of Leading Democrats Thurs
day.

Big Rally Of Leading Democrats Thurs
day.
Quite number of leading platform
Democrats were at Chicago last Thurs
day in attendance on the big political
meeting given under the auspices OF
Chicago platform Democrats, and 1000
people crowded the auditorium.
Speeches were made by Hon. VIM.
]. Bryan, Ex-Governor Altgeld; Sena-
ter B. R. Tillman, Governor Stone, OF
Missouri, and others. The meeting
throughout was red hot free silver,
anti expansion and anti Imperialism,
without discordant note. Mr.. Bryan
made great speech and was applau-
ded to the echo. His speech as con-
densed in the Associated Press dis
patches was as follows:
sin the brief time that I shall speak
to you 1 desire to condense what l
have to say upon three subjects into a
few brief propositions. First, Presi-
dent Mckinley, by sending commits
sion to Europe to secure international
bimetalism confessed the gold stand
ard to be unsatisfactory. Second, the
failure of the commission to secure iu-
ternational bimetallism proves that
bimetallism can be restored only
through independent action. Third,
the gold standard is maintained today,
not because the American people de-
sire, but because few English finan-
ciers, by controlling the policy OF
England, control through the Republi-
can party the financial policy of the
United States. Fourth, increased pro-
duction of gold in the Klonkide and
the importation of gold from Europe
have increased the volume of money
and improved times. 1t is evident
that more money makes better times,
and times could be still further i'm.
proved and the improvement made
permanent by the restoration of bime.
tallism, which would make silver as
well as gold available for coinage.
Fifth, if it was more difficult to main.
tain the parity between gold and sill

Cliffs Excursion.
The Presbyterian excursion train to
Cliffs had only small number of peo-
pie on board when it passed here last

School Teacher Ran Away.
Rock Hill Herald, Wednesday: A
Mr.. Stafford, at the Highland Park
mill, was painfully stabbed Monday
by a school teacher named Coins, who
got into a difficulty with Mrs. Stafford
because he had whipped one of her
children. The pedagogue seems to
have gotten the worse of the encoun-
ter with the irate mother and found it
advisable to draw his knife. At this
iuncture the husband interfered, with
the result that he now carries his arm
in a sling. Coins adopted the wise
precaution of getting out of the way
and thus the very amusing melee was
ended.

clusively proven that they knew how
to play ball to perfection. There were
individual pieces of work of the finest
quality, and one, especially, brilliant
double play, emphasized their team
play. 1t was well-oiled piece of ma
chinery. To win against combina-
tion of this stamp would require talent
and conscientious practice of no mean
order. 1t must, therefore, be very
gratifying to the supporters Of the
home team that they managed to keep
within hailing distance of these stars.
The Yorkville team realized it was the
hardest. toughest contest of the sea-
son, and right manfully did they play.
They played magnificent ball through
out. There were errors, but these re-
suited from lack of practice more than
anything else. That they did not win,
is not surprising. 1t was glory enough
for an amateur team to hold a profess
sional as near as they did. There was
no disgrace in this defeat. Everybody
on the field felt satisfied that the home
team had been stacked up" against a
superior combination, and that they
had given them a good, hard fight.
The score does not represent or give
an adequate idea of the game. In
stead of to it should have been 4 to
O. In other words, Gaffney received 8
runs from Yorkville through misplays
on their part. Both of the slab artists
did good work, but the Yorkville pitch
er suffered from the unreliability of
his team in the field and their weak
ness in batting. 1t is batting that
wins games and right here is seen how
weak Yorkville is. Gatfney made 9
hits-one three bagger, two two bag
gers and six singles. Yorkville made
but two singles in the whole game.
Both pitchers were liberal in their
bases on balls. Gaffhey4. Yorkville
4. The Gafney pitcher had 6 strike
outs and Yorkville 4. Taking into
consideration that the Yorkville man
had pitched hard game the day be-
fore, his work was very creditable in
deed.
1t was good game. 1t was replete
with good plays on both sides. When
Yorkville scored its run in the ninth
inning the pent up excitement broke
loose in good sonorous cheering. 1t
must be confessed that Yorkville play
ed in bad luck. Several times with
men on bases they were unable to get
in a run. Had they, different tale
might be told. 1t was battle royal
between the best teams that had play
ed on the local grounds.
The ball at the opera house Thurs
day night was participated in princi-
pally by the visitors. Only few
Yorkville ladies were present. Ihe
dancers, however, enjoyed themselves
very much.
The principal features on the pro-
gramme for yesterday, were the trades
procession and the return game be-
tween Yorkville and Gaffney; but at
the time it was necessary to close the
forms of The ENQUIRER, these events
had not developed sufficiently to ad-
NIT of description.

HAMILTON.
BROWNS
SHOES
COVER
THE
EARTH.

A considerable part of our fall
and winter stock of the celebra-
ted Hamilton Brown Shoes for
children, ladies and gentlemen
have arrived, and we can say
with all consciousness that no
better values in shoes has ever
been offered to the wearers of sole
leather in York county. In
point of wear resisting qualities,
styles and shapes, they are truly
the shoes of the people, and the
firms name stamped on the shoe,
is a certificate of their faith in
the quality of their goods, and
we are authorized to guarantee
every pair to give perfect salts
faction. The popularity of these
shoes are highly attested by the
fact that last year their sales
reached nearly $6, 1000, 900, and
the increasing ratios of this years
business indicate tremendous
gains over that of last year, un-
til it now seems that Hamilton
Browns Shoes will literally cov-
er the earth.
The watch word of Hamilton
Brown, the largest shoe manu-
facturers on the globe, is QUAIL
ITY-quality Of material and
quality of workmanship, and
considering this essential, there
is no shoe on the market today
which can nearly compete with
them. We have been handling
these shoes for two seasons and
not a single complaint has reach
ed us, and with a tremendous
shoe business like ours, its a
record hard to beat. In price
they are cheaper than intended
limitations. Once a wearer of
Hamilton-Brown's Shoes always
a Wearer.
