REPORT OF A REVOLUTION.
Prince Ferdinand Compelled to Flee
From Bulgaria.

Budapest. July 6.-Newspapers here
publish a story from Belgrade to the
effect that a revolution was inaugu-
rated at Sofia yesterday. According 10
the accounts published, a mob paradsd
the streets, some of the troops joining
in the demonstration. 1t was >dded
that Prince Ferdinand had fled the
country and that the telegraph wires
had been cut.
Advices received today from Belgrade
state that there is absolutely no con-
firmation of the alleged revolution in
Bulgaria. Officials here entirely dis
credit the statements in the Belgrade
newspapers.

in large numbers; but be had not seen
anything of them for several days
They did some damage to young corn
and various other kinds of vegetation ;
but the damage was nothing like what
it might have been had the worms con-
tinued their rayages.
Information of the same gratifying
nature comes from Clover. THE EN-
oUIRER made inquiry on Thursday OF
Mr.. w. B. Stroup. Mr.. Stroup said
that he had not heard anything of the
worms for several days, and he thought
they were getting fewer. They did
considerable damage in the Clover
ueighborhood; but the damage was
not nearly so extensive as it might
have been.
The reporter has been trying to get
some one to give a satisfactory theory
as to the probable cause of the disap-
pearance of the worms. The solution
of the matter has not yet been found.
All are agreed that the worms have
disappeared as mysteriously as they
came, and that is about all there is OF
it, except that no regret is expressed
at their departure which, it is hoped,
is permanent.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1899-08-19

A correspondent of the New York
Sun argues to uphold government by
Injunction. He quotes seven OF the
Divine mandates contained in the
Ten Comimandants, and makes the
point that since these iDjunctions were
thundered from Sinai, Mr.. Bryan is
the first man to attack the principle
on which they were based. The fellow
who suggests such precedent as this
to sustain his position is evidently
unable to distinguish between the
mean, selfish prejudice, of poor, weak
man and the infallible justice of AL
mighty God. "Thou shalt not kill" ,"
says one of the injunctions that was
published from Sinai. "Thou laborer
shalt not resist the oppression of heart
less corporation" is the injunction OF
a Federal judge. Although Mr.. Bry-
an teaches obedience to the first in
junction and rebels at the second, we
are unable to see that he is inconsis-
tent.

LOCAL LACONICS.

Committed to jail.
Jonathan Stewart, the young white
man who tried to pass the raised silver
certificate on Mr.. J. w. Carr last Mon
day came to Yorkville on Thursday
morning and was arrested by Deputy
Marshal Dobson, who had him com,
mitted to Jail pending a preliminary
examination before United States
Commissioner Hart. Stewart claims
that the bill was raised by another
party but be, of course, will have to
answer for the attempt to pass it.
Death of MIR. James r. MoCully.
Mr.. James R. McCully, well-known
citizen of Bethel township, died at his
home at Bowling Green on last Tues
day. Mr.. McCully was born on Crow
der's creek, about two miles north of
Bethel church, on April II, 1913. He
became a member of Bethel church
when he was 20 years of age, and con-
tinued a consistent Christian worker
up to the time of his death. His wife
died in 1878. He enjoyed the univer-
sal esteem of his friends and neighbors.
YorkvllIe's Cotton Shipments.
The cotton shipments from York.
Vile from September 1, 1898, to Au-
gust 16, 1899, amounted to 7,1s5 bales,
with 100 bales or more still in sight.
The S. C. & G. E. shipped 1902 bales
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1899-08-19
THE FIRST BALE.

The first bale of new cotton wa
sold on the Yorkville market las
Wednesday, August l6, by Mr.. San
w. Inman. 1t weighed $40 pounds
was classed as strict middling, ant
was bought by Mr.. John NJ. Hope fo
6 cents a pound. -...
By Wednesdays sale, Mr.. Inmar
breaks all previous records for hrs
bale sales on this market. AS matter
of fact, however, he held the recoro
himself, having sold his first bale of tht
1896 crop on August 10, which wa
then the earliest date on which a bals
of new cotton had ever been sold ir
York county.
Looking back over the record te
1870, the reporter finds that the dates
of sales of first bales range from
August 16, as indicated above, to Sep
tember 1S, on which last named date
in 1877, the earliest first bale was solo
by, Mr.. John Nichols to Mr.. J. A
Carroll for 81 cents pound.
The first bale last year was sold BY
Mr.. Sam W. Inman, on September I'd
and the first bale of the previous yeal
was sold by Mr.. John F. Williams or
the same date. Mr.. Inman also sold
bale on that day ; but not until aftel
Mr.. Williams's cotton had been deliv
cred and paid for. The first bale o
1898 brought 5 cents and the frs
bale of 1897 brought 6 cents.
The present cotton crop is nov
cracking open quite rapidly, condi
ditions for picking are very favorable
and it is likely that within few days
the market will become lively.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1899-08-19

- In the last issue of the Gastonia
Gazette, Editor Marshall announces
that the editorship and management
has been transferred to Mr.. w. M.
Grier, a son of DR.. w. NJ. Grier, pres
ident of Due West college. The in
formation comes to THE ENQUIRER in
the nature of surprise. We had not
previously heard any intimation of it..
But while the new editor and manager
will have our best wishes, we cannot
entirely stife certain regrets at the
severance of the connection of Mr..
Marshall with this excellent paper.
Ia our opinion, Mr.. Marshall has made
The Gazette one of the best weekly
newspaper in the state of North Caro-
lima, and the value of himself and
paper to the town of Gastonia has been
ipestimable. This fact is generally
realized and appreciated by all out
siders familiar with the circumstances.
We might remark also that no one
man has contributed more to the re-
markable growth and prosperity of
Gastonia, and received less credit for
his efforts. What Mr.. Marshall pro-
poses to do, we have no information
but wherever he may be, he will have
the best wishes of The ENQUIRER for
health, wealth and prosperity. In
the meantime, we feel sure that we
will continue to look upon The Gazette,
under its new management, as one of
our most valued exchanges.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1899-08-19

began Monday night week ago and
entered the houses of several Negroes
who were taken out and whipped.
Since then this performance has been
several times repeated and the Negroes
are badly frightened. The object of
the whitecaps is to drive off Negro
tenants in order to secure control, at
low prices, of valuable farm lands in
that section, much of which is rented
to Negroes by the white landlords.
There is no political foundation for
the troubles and the offenders are said
to belong. to a low class of whites.
The Negroes have taken to the woods
and swamps at night to avoid the visi-
tation of the gang, and many of the
colored. people have come to Green
wood, some of them bringing all their
possessions and refusing to 60 back
home. Inofensive Negroes are said
to have been whipped and they have
told their troubles to white friends
here but are afraid to talk openly. So
far as known, none have left this
community.
The better class of people deplore
the occurrences, and until now the
matter has been kept quiet; but today
the sheriff wired the governor for as
sistance, stating his inability to control
the situation. 1t is reported that Gov
ernor McSweeny will be here tomorrow
with Attorney General Bellinger and
some action will be taken.
1t does not seem to be the object OF
the gang to kill or seriously ipjure the
Negroes. They simply want them to
leave the community in order that the
lands may be rented by white tenants.
1t is fine farming section producing
good crops ; but it is thickly settled by
Negroes, although the colored popula-
ton was somewhat thinned out im-
mediately after the election riots last
November. The Negroes are now
very badly scared and the object of the
whitecaps has nearly been attained.
This is the version of the story as
gained from Greenwood men.
A large landowner of that section
told me today that he had his Negroes
sleep in bis barn for protection, and
that the colored population is terror
lied. Two hundred Negroes from that
vicinity spent Saturday night in Green
wood to avoid the visitation of the
whitecaps.
The same mastery inactivity which
charact erized the sheriff g Office in the
November riots, hangs over that office
in this instance and nothing has yet
been done.

is in bad luck. His bicycle broke
down about half way between Chin

would have been stranded had it not
been for the baggage wagon, which
came along an hour or two later. AT
the time of writing his note he was on
the lookout for repair shop, with but
little prospect of finding one. He
was afraid that his trip would be in
terrupted, in which event, of course,
those interesting descriptions he would
have written of the country will not

THEIR GOLDEN WEDDING.

Mr.. and Mrs. Miles Johnson cele.
brated their golden wedding at their
home in Rock Hill last Wednesday
night. Mr.. Johnson, who was from
Charlotte, N. c., was married to Miss
Josephine Kerr, of Indiana, in York
vile, on August 16, 1S4s, by Rev. P
E. Bishop, of the Presbyterian church
The golden wedding celebration was
participated in by number of invited
friends of the estimable couple, and d
pleasant feature of the evening was
the reading of the following lines by
Mr.. Johnson to the loved partner OF
the joys aud woes Of his life:
Just fifty years ago tonight
We stepped on the stage of married life
Old Indiana gave the bride,
The fairest gem she had,
And North Carolina gave the groom,
A bright and cheerful lad.
Well, we have climed the hills, Joe,
And hand in hand together,
And many's been our joys and woes
That we have had together.
Now we are growing old, Joe;
But still our days are blest
With health and friends and little
home
In which to take our rest.
Our hair is turning gray, Joe,
That once was like the ravens;
But still we have the joys aud smiles,
Unmixed with worldly cravings.
Now we are fastening on, Joe,
Still you and together,
And when we cross the river, Joe,
May our joys flow on forever.
