STORMY TIMES.

Severe storms prevailed throughout
the county during the latter part Of
last week. THE ENQUIRER has not
been able to gather full details /; but
has heard number of reports. -:
A heavy windstorm passed through
Bethesda township on Thursday after
noon and unroofed several small build
ings. 1t was particularly severe In the
neighborhood of Bethesda church.
There was something like cloud
burst in Yorkville and vicinity on Fri
day afternoon at about 8 o'clock. The
storm came up suddenly, and within a
few minutes the cutters, which are
large enough to accommodate most
showers, were flooded. There was
some hail during the continuance OF
the storm. While it was raining 70
hard in Yorkville, there was but
slight sprinkle at a point three miles
to the northwest.
The conductor on the northbound s.
C. & G. passenger train, Friday after
noon, reported terrific storm down
the road. The train ran into the storm
before reaching Lancaster, and with
short intervals of respite, continued
with it to Yorkville and beyond.
The Rock Hill Herald, of Saturday,
reports: "The heavy rain storm of
Thursday night was accompanied by
great downpour of huge hail stones,
which fell in the lower part of this
township and in the Ebenezer section.
The storm was heavy here; but was
not accompanied by bail as large or as
thick as elsewhere. Yesterday at noon
Mr.. H. A. Caldwell, who lives five
miles south of town, brought to this
Office about half pint of the stones that
he gathered on the way to town. They
were saucer shaped, but some were,
even then, 10 hours after they had
fallen, fully three-quarters of an inch
across"
Citizens from the Western side of
the county who we're in Yorkville
on Saturday, say that the storm of
Friday afternoon was unusually severe
in their section. The reporter was
told that the hail broke the window
glass out of house that has just been
put up by Mr.. John Ramsey, near
Smyrna. Mr.. E. P. Castles, of Smyr-
ma, says that on strip two miles west
of that place, hailstones covered the
ground to depth Of two inches.
Mr.. stroup, of Glover, telephoned on
Saturday that there was considerable
hail in the neighborhood of Bethel
church but he had heard of no dam
age.
Mr.. J. c. Lilly reports an unusual
hailstorm in the Filbert neighborhood
on Saturday afternoon. Just how
much hail fell, he was unable to say;
but thinks it was fortunate that there
was no young corn or cotton to be
beaten in the ground by it.
Mr.. w. A. Youngblood, of the Clay
Hill section, reports hail on Friday af.
ternoon and again Saturday night, ac-

just how much credence is to be
given to the reports of R. G. Dunn &
Co., is question that The ENQUIRER
has never been able to settle to its own
satisfaction. There are people, how
ever-good business people-who have
a great deal of faith in their reports,
and these people are gratifed to know
that Messrs. Dunn & Co. report the
largest and most prosperous February
business that has yet been recorded.

on Monday undertook to investigate
the matter. Messrs. Glenn & Allison,

years their sales have run as high as

There are intimations from time to
time to the effect that Senator Tillman
has changed very much from what be
used to be-so much, in fact, that peo.
pie who used to despise him can now
tolerate him. The proposition is quite
but is it true? That eth
er Tillman has changed, or many OF
his old enemies have changed, is cer-
tain. But which?

YORKVILLE, 8. G. .:
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 8, 1899.

tilt on the question OF making Samp'
som a rear admiral ranking Schley, re-
sulting in the failure of the PROPOSE
tion. The appointments on the new
list were confirmed without opposi-
ton. The understanding is that by
this arrangement Schley ranks Samp-
son two numbers. But the list being
without regard to service, it happens
that neither Schley or Sampson have
gotten any credit for the parts they
played in the late war. 1t was gen.
orally conceded that Dewey should be
at the head of the navy, and that
Schley and Sampson should come next.
The quarrel is over the question as to
which shall come first. AS it is, there
are Is rear admirals on the list con-
frmed last week and Schley and Samp-
som rank only 10th and 18th respect

- Boston dispatch, Saturday: Re-
ports today from many of the manu-
featuring centres of New England are
to the effect that the raise in cotton
mill wages, decided upon at Fall River
a few days ago, is to be general.
About 10000 employees, according to
present advices, will profit by return
to the wage schedule of 1897 from
which a cut of 10 to 20 per cent. was
made in 1898. So far only Massachu.
setts, New Hampshire and Rhode Is,
land mills have been heard from but
Maine mill managers are understood
to be considering the wage question
and many of them will undoubtedly
come into line. The operatives in al
the Lowell cotton mills and in the AT
lantic mills of Lawrence were notified
at noon today that the wages of 1897

Slowly the commanding figure of the
speaker assembled the rostrum. Grace
fully Mr.. Dockery informed him of the
action of the house and then relin'
quished the gavel to him. AS the
speaker faced the house the stiffness
of death settled down upon it. The
speaker fairly lowered over his sur
roundings. Slowly and with great de-
liberations he returned his thanks for
the compliment the house had confer
red upon him. He said:
"In laying down for the third time
the insignia Of an Office which has but
one superior and no peer, l might,
perhaps, fairly congratulate myself up
on having had great opportunity to
administer a great office in the fashion
indicated by the noble words known
to our law without fear, favor or hope
of reward Where I have succeeded
l am sure to have your final approval ;
where have failed am sure you have
given me credit for honorable intention.
notwithstanding any differences of
opinion or of party, you have given
me your confidence in all which per.
tained to my duties here in a manner
so full and ample that my memory of
it will never pass away. When COM
pare the opportunity you have given
me with what it has been possible to
do see how much 1 need your kind
endorsement of today, for which l re-
turn thanks and gratitude. With
pleasant memories for our past, which
I shall always cherish, and with best
wishes for your future, which l shall
always entertain, l now declare this
house adjourned without day"

under the euphonious title of ION the
SuWanee River" is the offering at the
Union opera house next Saturday even
ing, Feb. is. AS may be inferred from
the above, it is a story of life in the
southland, but it is promised that this
presentation has not so distorted and
erased the true southerner as to make
him unrecognizable On the contrary,
the author has drawn upon the South
as his locale on its very possibility to
present interesting characters, beauti-
full tropical surroundings and melodous
environments. There is nothing Of the
sensational type promised, no horse
races, no cotton congresses to almost
crush the heroine, no mechanical mon
strosity, simply straight. pure story
of hearts, which are shown to beat
quite as nationally in the South as in
any other section. 1t is not difficult
to imagine the opportunity afforded for
scenic display, and it is promised that
full advantage has been taken of this.
The first act shows a typical Southern
planters residence, with the exterior
surroundings and the old Suwanee river
in tn edistance. 1t is said to be very
pretty picture and starts the story I'M
der natural auspices. No attempt has
been made to exploit the talents of the
colored race to the monopoly of the
stage at any time. The plantation
hands are there to the fulfillment of
detail and they are in no way forced
upon the audience. 1t is promised that
the company to be seen is fully COM
petent, numbering 16 people, including
the Fountain City quartette.
