IN MEM MORIUM.
HARVEY "A. BREED.

When call came to our country,
For defenders bold and brave:
Harvey Breed a young defender,
Started forth her fate to save.
In our South Dakota regiment,
Signed his name In company B,
Bravely went to face the foemen,
And q martyr there was he.
Stout and manly in appearance,
Flashing eye and dark brown hair,
Well beloved by all his classmates
Friends he had made everywhere.
Out our boys went to Manila,
And among the troops was he;
Bravely tried to do his duty
Our brave boy Of company B.
In the front he did his duty,
Won he from the soldiers, praise,
And up to the place Of corporal
From a private, he was raised.
Waited patiently for orders,
That would win the regiment fame
On the twenty-fifth Of April,
Then the fatal orders came.
Brightly rose the sunlight morning,
On that beauteous April day;
Came an order for movement,
To the thickest of the fray.
Bravely swept along the regiment.
On against the native foe;
Who were hid behind the trenches,
Waiting to spread dismal woe.
Up the boys charged to the trenches.
Bravely made that charge indeed;
In the thickest of the battle
Fell our brave boy, Harvey Breed
Fate is fate, and when among US,
She once stretches out her hand;
Choicest of our dearly loved ones,
They are stretched upon the sands
Fell fighting for his country,
This dear country that he loved:
Who could win death more noble
And the fame, he'd win above?
We will miss his pleasant features,
And has happy smile so rare;
We we'll miss him from among us;
There will be one vacan: chair.
From home this brave young soldier
Will be missed by parents dear;
Brothers. sisters, all his loved ones
Will for him shed many q tear.
On his character no blemish,
And no stain upon his name;
And inside the angels record,
Will be written one word-Fame
We will some day hope to meet him
When we reach that golden throne,
Meet our brave young martyr'd sol.
Where the parting is no more. [dier

A dispatch says that the National
Liquor league is making preparations
to close all the saloons of Akron, O.,
for period of two years. 1t is claim
ed that the league has ample funds
and the saloon-keepers will be guaran-
teed a certain revenue to indemnify
them against loss. This action is to be
taken as a protest against the "Dow"
tax, heavy tax that has been levied
as the result of prohibition agitation,
and in closing the saloons, the Nation,
al Liquor league seeks to give an OBJ
ject lesson as to their necessity. The
Prohibitionists of Akron now have
their opportunity. 1t is necessary for
them to raise funds and put forth such
efforts as will make real prohibition.
The saloon men will get sick first.

Mill last Wednesday afternoon. The
ceremony was performed by Rev. Ed
ward s. Reaves, of Yorkville. The
attendants were Mr.. E. w. Kimbrell
with Miss Daisy Young; and Mr.. L.
A. Harris with Miss Ziza Young. A
large number of friends of the young
people witnessed the ceremony, and
extended congratulations.
Price of Cotton.
There have been some fluctuations
in the price of cotton during the past
few days; but the local figures remain
about the same-from 81 to St.
With Travelling Gin.
Mr.. w. T. Mcknight, of the Carp
neighborhood, informed the reporter,
on Monday, that he closed the season
with travelling gin last week after
having ginned nearly 600 bales. He
used a 5.horse power engine. The
quantity of work done shows that he
has been hustling. Mr.. Mcknight
also said that there is still an unusual
ly large quantity ofunpicked cotton in
the fields; but expressed the opinion
that it is of no value now.

peat here what the doctor said, except
to say that he rehearsed pretty nearly
all that he says in his address and
more. There was colloquy that con-
tinued for something like quarter Of
an hour, and when it was over, all that
was left of the mad bull did not make
a grease spot on the floor larger than
would have been caused by the crush
ing of gnat.
That it was a most fearful humilia-
ton for DR.. Strait, we fully realize
but he is not entitled to blame Mr.. Nc
Laurin. Mr.. McLaurin was attending
strictly to his own business. So far as
we know, he had never interfered in
the least with the affairs of DR.. Strait
before, and there has been no evidence
that he has interfered with the affairs
of DR.. Strait since. Why the doctor
should seek to abuse and malign Mr..
McLaurin now for misfortunes that he
owes entirely to himself, is PROPOSE
ton for which we are unable to find
much justification. Really, we think
it would become the doctor better if be
would devote some of his Tomato Fig
Syrup profits to the purchase of first
class kicking machine, and keep it in
operation from now until the expira.
ton of his term of Office on the third
day of March next.

clerk.
The Streets Of Yorkville.
But the people of Yorkville are in
no condition to talk about the coun.

Auditor Boyce.
Auditor Boyce got down to work on
Monday, and he was kept thorough
ly busy all day. The taking of returns
by the auditor continues at Yorkville
until February 20.
Five Acres For Five Cents.
Clerk of the Court Wylie sold five
acres of land last Monday for 5 cents
one cent an acre. The purchaser was
Mr.. J. R. Long. 1t was a part of the
]. A. M. L. Stewart land, and although
the sale was not absolutely necessary,
it was considered desirable to avoid
possible future complication. A deed
and the recording of the same would
cost $3.50; but happily under the cir
cumstance, this expense does not have
to be incurred.

Mr.. Charles R. Craven and Miss
Mittie Downs were married at the res

- DR.. Strait is rather unhappy as a
prosecutor. He bases his philippe
against McLaurin on the positive
statement that the senator was the
author of the recent address of Colonel
Neal. AS to whether or not Mr.. Nc
Laurin really wrote this address we
confess that we do not know, and we
feel pretty sure that DR.. Strait has no
information on the subject either. 1t is
altogether improbable that he is in the
confidence of either gentleman. But
it is fact that that address was in
exceeding good taste, and whomsoev-
er did write it seemed to know pretty
we'll what he was about. This, how
ever, is not the point. Of all the
mean things that have ever been said
about Senator McLaurin by his enc
mics, the charge that he is faithless to
his friends is the worst. 1t had its
origin, probably, in the shaking OH OF
an occasional would.be parasite; but
these are political enemies who are not
above repeating the charge. Unwit-
tingly, DR.. Strait exhonorates the sem
ator. 1t is a fact that Mr.. McLaurin
was in Columbia about the time the
address appeared and just previous to
the election. 1t is fact, also, that he
did what he could in behalf of Colonel
Neal, who was at the time not only
sorely pressed by his numerous enemies,
but confined to his room. A friend in
need, it is said, is a friend indeed. Mr..
McLaurin could have easily remained
in Washington about that time with
the very best of excuses, and in less
danger of hostile criticism than would
be incurred in Columbia. But with
little hope of accomplishing practical
result he stood by his friend. And DR..
Strait would have it appear that the
senator is not that kind of man.

INDIA HOOK, February 81 note
that Mr.. Epps has introduced bill in
the legislature permitting the county
commissioners to expend $4,000 in the
building of a bridge across Catawba
river at Sutton's ferry, half way be-
tween Harris and Neely's ferries. 1t
will be easy to get good roads to ap.
proach the bridge from either side OF
the river. The India Hook people
would rejoice to see the bridge at sut.

township would be pleased with the
location.

Just now are almost impossible.

Early in the fight, one of the state
senators, Whitesides, went to the joint
committee of the legislature and made
charges of bribery against Clarke's
manager. In proof of his charges, he
laid before the committee the sum of
$4,000 in bills which he claimed had
been paid to him and three other sena.
tors for their votes. The committee
began investigating, the matter was
laid before the grand jury and con-
tinued to make a fuss for about two
weeks, when "no bill" was returned.
Clarke's manager" denied that he
had given the money to Whitesides,
and insisted that the whole thing was
a conspiracy gotten up to prejudice
Clark that the money was furnished
by one of Clarke's opponents, etc. AS
the result of this the senate, by vote
to IA to 9 unseated Whitesides and
sent him home. The $4,000 remains
in the hands of the legislative commit
tee and that body does not know
what to do with it. There is good
reason to believe that many millions
of dollars were divided up among the
member of the house and senate and
the grand jury during the ''investiga-
tion." But Mr.. Clarke does not care.
It is said that his income two years
ago amounted to $10,000,0O0. So
long as he is fixed this way, he will
continue to be a "very respectable
gentleman"

THE ENQUIRER does not feel any
Joy at the ratification of the peace
treaty in its present shape. We do
not believe that the annexation of the
Philippines is desirable under any cir
cumstances, and we do not think that
this country has any right to annex
either the Philippines or Porto Rico,
except with the consent of the inhabi'
tants. We fear that the action of the
senate on Monday will bring to this
country a great deal of trouble, and
the worst part of it is that the trouble
will be deserved. 1t would have been
better for the senate to have settled
the expansion question now, rather
then risk chances on the future.

- There is another big liquor fight
going on in Charlotte. This time it is
Saloon VS.. Dispensary. The Prohibi-
tionists, as rule, are on the dispense
ry side of the question. There has
for years been a growing prohibition
sentiment in Charlotte, and the Prohi-
bitionists figure that if they can run
the saloon out with the dispensary,
then it will not be so difficult after a
while to abolish the latter. And the
Prohibition folks are figuring pretty
wisely.

-YORKVILLE, 8. c.:
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY s, 1899.

1t is to be hoped that the investi-
CATION of the charges made by General
Miles will proceed, and that it will be
honest and sincere. If it develops
that what Miles said was true, then he
is entitled to the thanks of the coun-
try; and if it develops that his charges
were without foundation, he will be
entitled to nothing but disgrace. The
country does not care, or should not
care, who is helped or injured in this
matter. The truth is what is wanted.

SALESDAY,
ones.'' "

The rain had fallen in torrents dur
ing Sunday night, and Monday morn
ing dawned, wet, cold, raw and disa-
greeable. Most Yorkville people look
upon the monthly congregation of the
horse traders in town as an inseparable
feature of salesday.
"Don't look like there will be many
of them here today" was a remark
that one citizen was overheard to make
to another during the morning. "1ts
too rough for them," was his explana-
tion.
"Pshaw that don't count for any
thing-the rougher the BETTER" was
the rejoinder of the citizen addressed.
"Didn't think the old rips would be
able to get about through all this
mud"
"That is where you do not under
stand them. If it was not for the
mud, they would not want to get
about"
Nine, 10, IL and 12 o'clock went by
and still but few of the horse traders
had put in their appearance. Some OF
the regulars-the confirmed old vets
of long years standing-were here ear
ly. In fact, a few of them had arrived
on Saturday and Sunday; but the
crowd was small until along during
the afternoon. Then they began to
arrive in squads of half dozen or
more. Soon there was crowd.
Heretofore the principal rendezvous
has been J. w. Dobson's hitching lot.
On Monday, however, the place was
not so popular. The crowd congre-
