a widow and eight young children, all
of whom are girls. Young Hope was
a son of the late II. w. Hope, of York.
vile, and went to Charleston with his
mother several years ago. The News
and Courier article has this to say of
him
Mr.. J. Lindsay Hope was son Of a
widow, and her sole comfort and sup.
port. A bright, sunny.tempered youth
of 10, he had hut one care in all the
world and that the sacred duty of
providing for his mother and making
her declining years as happy as possi-
bic. They lived together at 92 Van
derhorst street, and last night, when
the sad news was broken in this des-
olate little home, it was almost more
than the bearers of the tale could en-
dure to see such sorrow. Mr.. Hope
had been employed in the grocery
store of Mr.. J. N. Peecksen, King
street, and was much liked by his em g.
ployer. He was steady, faithful and
honest, and there is real regret in the
hearts of those with whom he was wont
to come in contact.
At last accounts the bodies had not
been recovered. A party of men,
however, had gone to Kiawah prepar-
ed to stay several days, if necessary,
and to make the most dilligent search
possible.

MR.. RODDEY's OFFER.

The action of Mr.. w. J. Roddey, in
offering assistance in the liquidation OF
the business of the Loan and Savings
bank, was referred to in the last issue
of The ENQUIRER.
Mr.. Roddey's plan contemplated the
temporary establishment in Yorkville
of a branch of the National Union
bank of Rock Hill, of which he is
president, and the liquidation of the
affairs of the Loan and Savings bank,
through this institution. 1t further
contemplated the idea of making the
arrangement permanent, should the
business interests of Yorkville, after
having made a thorough test of the
facilities offered, 80 desire. The pro-
position, however, was not accepted at
once by the board of directors of the
Loan and Savings bank, and at sub
sequent meeting of the directors of the
National Union bank of Rock Hill, it
was withdrawn in the following reso-
luton
That upon the advice of counsel, the
National bank is constrained to decline
the position of liquidator of the affairs OF
the Loan and Savings bank of Yorkville,
offered by the board Of directors OF said
bank.
Resolved further, that the National
Union bank will agree to advance to who
ever may be appointed liquidator or re-
ceiver of said Loan and Savings Dank,
such sums of money as may be, from time
to time, required to anticipate such divi-
dends to depositors of said bank as its as
sets will justify and secure.
Resolved further, that in the event OF
the party so appointed liquidator or re-
ceiver being approved by this bank as I'll
and qualified, and should he desire, dur,
ing the liquidation OF the affairs of said
Loan and Savings bank, or until some
banking institution shall be established in
Yorkville, to conduct banking business
for the convenience of the citizens OF
Yorkville and vicinity, the National Un-
ion bank of Rock Hill will agree to ad
vanA to such approved party, a reasona-
BILE sum of money to enable him to con-
duct such banking business.

none of the governments business. OF
course, the government is not bound to
assume guardianship over the mission
aries; but somehow there is feeling
which we deem entirely correct, that
if our missionaries or other citizens
are imposed upon the whole country
will take up the quarrel. Maybe, as
the doctor says, this country is big
enough to furnish employment for all
of our surplus energies but American
citizens have an idea that they have
as much right to 60 to China as to
provided they behave them
and any attempt on the part of
China or any other country to abridge
that right is likely to cause trouble.
The country that does not guarantee
reasonable hospitality to the American
who offers to pay his way, has no
rights, civil, political or otherwise that
are bound to respect, and
it is only a question as to whether we
have the courage to stand up for what
is ours, or whether we will cowardly
submit to the dictation of others who
would tell us what to do. While there
are few people in this section who ever
expect to 60 to China, for instance,
there are still fewer who are willing to
forego such privilege when they care
to make use of it.

LOOKS LIKE VANDALISM.

The proposition of the foreign pa
pers in China, backed by the moral
sentiment of the missionaries, looking
to the removal of the Chinese capital
from Pekin and the destruction of the
scpulchers of the kings for generations
back, appears, at first blush, to be
shocking vandalism.
Suppose an invader from abroad
should attempt to desecrate the tombs
of our dead, what would we think OF
it2 This question appears to settle
the whole issue without further argu'
ment but really there is something
in the suggestion of the missionaries
The Chinese are a peculiar people
with very peculiar traditions. One OF
the most remarkable mudsills of their
religious system is the worship oftheir
ancestors. They hold themselves as
superior to any outside barbarians, and
the masses of the people have long
been taught that foreign ambassadors
are representatives of mere tributary
nations. When the masses are made
to believe that the spirits Of their an.
cestors are unable to rest quietly be.
cause of the presence of so many for
eigners, it is easy to see how the
masses can be aroused to expel the
foreigners from the country.
The destruction of the tombs Of the
Chinese kings and emperors would &c
far to eradicate this disturbing super
stition, and that is no doubt the reason
why the missionaries have suggested
such step. But whether it will be
best to commit this seeming act o.
vandalism or send large per cent.
of the Chinese now living to join their
ancestors, is still question. 1t is
quite likely that the latter course will
be pursued.

THEY RESISTED ARREST.

-
There was about $130 worth of riot
on Cleveland avenue, in Yorkville,
last Sunday afternoon. At least that
is the price that Mayor Willis assessed
the disturbance when the offenders
were brought before him on Monday
morning.
Sometime between 4 and 5 o'clock,
two Negro women reported to Police
man Rose that their. houses had bee1
stoned by some drunken white men,
giving their names as o. E. Erwin,
Will Mcdonald and Will Deadman.
The policeman went to investigate the
matter and arrested Mcdonald and
Deadman but instead of putting
them in the calaboose, went to the
house of Erwin with them to get mon
ey for their appearance next morning.
As the money was about to be paid
over, Erwin came on the scene with a
big A Smith & Wesson revolver in his
hand, threatening murder, and telling
Policeman Rose to 'get out and get
out quick" The other two men, pre-
viously humble enough, assumed an
attitude of aggression. Realizing that
he would probably have to shoot or be
be shot, the policeman decided to re-
tire and begin proceedings along new
line.
The residence of Mayor Willis is
only a short distance away. Police
man Rose went there, and after con-
ference, it was decided to raise a
posse and arrest the desperadoes at all
hazards. A posse was raised forth.
with, and pretty soon the house was
surrounded by half dozen or 80 men
armed with pistols and military rifles,
etc. Erwin, pistol in hand, viewed
the situation first from one window
and then another; but as he looked
into the muzzles> of rifles from each
viewpoint, he finally decided that dis
cretion was the better part of valor
and gave himself up. Mcdonald was
arrested next, after some little resist
ance, and the three men were locked
up. Deadman afterward put up $40
for his appearance and left town.
After full hearing of the case on
Monday morning, Mayor Willis SEN
fenced Erwin to pay fine of $75 or
work 80 days on the chaingang, and
sentenced Mcdonald to $45 or rs days.
These amounts, with the $40 forfeited
by Deadman, raised the aggregate
price of the row to $3.50.

A TALK WITH AMBASSADOR WHIT

A TALK WITH AMBASSADOR WHITE.
Andrew D. White, United States
ambassador to Germany, was a pas,
senger on board the Deutschland,
which reached her dock in New York
from Hamburg on Monday. Asked
what he thought of the cabled report
that Russia and Germany would de-
clare war con;jointly against China,
the ambassador said:
II think it is very likely. Both
countries have the same right for war
and both have a common cause for act,
ing together"
He did not think partition will be
made of China, and said on this sub
iect: II don't think that the powers
will divide China. The condition
that meets them now is the paciica'
ton of the country. There is no talk
of partition in Germany and l do not
believe there will be any on the part
of the other powers.

MAYBE we don't want Porto Rico,
the Philippines or Hawaii; but since
they are ours, are we willing to give
them up, and if so who are we willing
to give them to? 1t is easy to talk
about withdrawing and leaving these
people to take care of themselves but
80 long as this country aspires to a
commercial one in any sense, it can.
not afford to have any of its markets
under the control of rivals. That
proposition is clear-very clear.
Whether the DR.. Straits idea of break
ing off relations with the entire out
side world and living within ourselves
as China wishes to do, is good one or
not, it will certainly not prevail in
this generation.

senator's interference in a race in
which he has no business. Colonel
Hoyt stated, emphatically, that it is
his intention to vote for Tillman and
asked all his friends to do the same
thing, saying that because Tillman is
ungenerous, is no reason why the
Prohibitionists should be.

Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1900-08-08

CHINAMEN have over-run Europe
three times since the beginning of the
Christian era. Each time their sole
aim was to kill, kill, kill, and each
time they came very near wiping out
the supremacy of the white race. At
tilla was stopped only at Chalons, in
the middle of France, where his army
of 100000 was cut to pieces in the
year 45I. 1t was the greatest, fiercest
and bloodiest battle in the history Of
the world, and it was decided that the
straight nosed white man is superior
to the flat-nosed yellow devil. The
!grandsons of Jenghis Khan were not
stopped until they reached Germany,
and the destruction that would have
been wrought by the terrible Tanner
lane, had he not turned south after
overruning Russia, can only be mat
ter of speculation. The Chinaman is
moved by the same wild religious ia
naticism that prevailed of old; but
that he is a match for the Christian
civilization of today seems incredible.
In the light of history as we'll as
of present conditions, the Christian
nations are not only justified in stamp
ing him out; but it seems to be their
duty to do so if they can. The bloody
pyramid of. 10000 heads of Christian
prisoners that Tamerlane piled up on
the plains of Syria, will ever remain
a testimony as to the feelings that
Cinnamon entertain toward "outside
barbarians."

IF Gary and Patterson would relieve
the state of further disgrace, they
would now step down and out. The
votes recorded for men who do not
know enough to behave themselves
with the becoming dignity that is ex-
pected of a chief executive, will not be
creditable to South Carolina even il
one or the other of the men should be
elected. The only decent course for
these gentlemen is to withdraw.

OF THE BANK.

L
Loan and Savings bank are practical
ly the same as on last Saturday; but
it is likely that there will be some
changes within the next few days.
The attorneys representing different
claims and who filed the bills which
took the bank into court, agreed last
Friday night, on satisfactory adjust
ment of their respective contentious,
and 80 far as they are concerned there
seems to be no probability of future
complications.
After number of conferences
among themselves, the bank officials
have about come to the conclusion
that there was really no reason why
the bank should have ever closed Its
doors. Some of them are of opinion
that the securities in the vaults are
sufficient upon which to raise enough
money to satisfy depositors, and that
especially with a little indulgence on
the part of creditors, there is no rea-
son why the institution should not be
taken out of court and continue bus
mess as before.
Judge Gage has been asked for an
order allowing the directors OF the
bank to receive such outstanding as
sets as may be collected without suits
at law, holding the same, however,
pending further orders of the court.
If a receivership order is finally
signed, the probability is that Mr.. J. S.
Brice will be named as receiver, and
Messrs. w. w. Lewis and w. B. Nc
Cav will be his joint attorneys.
As yet there have been no legal pro-
ceedings in the case of the Sutro Cot
ton mill. It's affairs remain in the
same shape as on last Saturday. Those
most deeply interested have strong
hopes that the mill will be able to
take care of itself.
|EDROWNED OFF CHARLESTON.
The News and Courier of Monday
tells story of sad tragedy off Char
lesion last Sunday morning, in which
two men lost their lives. One of the
victims was Mr.. Walter l.. Daggett, of
Charleston, and the other was Mr.. j.
Lindsay Hope, formerly of Yorkville.
The occasion was an excursion of
the Fourth Brigade band to Kiawah
island. There is no wharf at the island,
and the landing had to be made by
means of row boats. Two boat loads
had been safety landed on the shore
from the steamer; but the third boat
was too heavily loaded. 1t commenced
the trip with ii men. Only ~ got
safely to land. Shortly after it left
the steamer, the boat began to ship
water, and the occupants had to swim
for it. 1t was a good long distance
and the water was rough. Daggett
and Hope went down.
Mr.. Walter L. Daggett was printer
and was among the best known of
Charleston's young business men. He
was about "a years of age, and leaves

SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS.
The Greenville News.

Says a Greenville special of Mon.
day to the Columbia State: The big
gest crowd of the campaign was here
today and an organized effort was
made to show an anti-Hoyt demon
stration but the crowd was clearly
for Hoyt. I am told that dispensary
men were here from several sections
for the purpose ST whooping things up
and they congregated around the stand
when Tillman spoke. At one time it
seemed that Hoyt's friends were dis.
posed to howl Tillman down but
Colonel Hoyt's son and others went
among the crowd and asked his friends
to keep absolutely quiet and give Till
man fair hearing, which was done.
Colonel Hoyt was more than satisfied
with his reception here. Tillman's
hand primary showed perhaps a ma.
jority for the dispensary, but it should
be remembered that out of six legisla-
tors from this county only one is dis
pensary man.
Fight Between Patterson and Gary.
A Howard Patterson and Frank
B. Gary had a fist fight on the stand at
Laurens last Saturday. On every
stump Patterson had been repeating
his story of Gary's alleged Charleston
straddle between dispensary and high
license. Gary had gotten very tired oi
it. He claimed that there was nc
straddle. AS the outcome of quar-
rel at Laurens, while Gary was speak
ing, Gary told Patterson he was telling
what was not so. Patterson struck
Gary over the eye and Gary landed 9
blow on Patterson's mouth. Both
brought blood. The two men clincheo
and pounded at each other ineffect
ually. The crowd came in and put
stop to further fighting. After quieI
was somewhat restored Gary tried tc
continue his speech, making an apollo
gy as best he could. Patterson alst
made a statement. The police col
lected' SIS from each of the men. AT
terward Patterson and Gary were in
duced to shake hands and call il
square. The Laurens authorities after
wards remitted the fines.
