man myself. During the So years of
my life have not drank as much as
half.barrel of whisky but 1 believe
where a man uses whisky without
abusing it, where he merely drinks
for the exhilarating effect and stops
there, and does not waste his substance
on it, l believe he has as much
right to drink as he has to
eat. The Bible does not teach pro-
hibition. There is one little passage
in Habakuk about putting the bottle
to thy neighbor's lips that is often
misquoted; but Paul advises Timothy
to take a little wine for his stomach's
sake; while another place tells US. to
"driuk and forget our poverty" But
what is the matter with you York
county people? If you don't want
the dispensary, don't vote for it; but
for Gods sake leave us alone and don't
try to make hypocrites of us too. 1n
his concluding remarks Senator Till
man said that there was not preacher
in Edg6eld county who would corrob.
crate the assertion Of DR.. Gardner to
the effect that he, Ti)lman, sought to
throw discredit upon the preachers.
Senator Tillman was listened to
throughout his speech with the closest
attention, and was frequently cheered.
He said some pretty hard things but
his manner of saying them was so in
offensive that they left no sting. Even
when he used the terms fools and jack.
asses, it was apparently just in fun,
and although in print it may seem that
he was apparently quite aggressive.
As matter of fact he was really on
the defensive throughout. There was
as much real strength in what he had
to say as in any other speech he has
ever made from the York county
stump; but the audience was one of
the calmest and coolest he has ever
addressed in this county, and that
made difference.

FINANCIAL TROUBLE.

The Loan and Savings bank failed
TO open its doors for business last SAT-
urday morning, and since then it has
been dawping more and more clearly
upon the people that the town is in
trouble and lots oft The bank failed
for about $4,000.
1t is a complicated story, and clear
statement of details is impracticable.
No man can tell it just as it is, and
probably there is nothing to he gained
by the attempt. For the present the
fact of the failure, and the fact that a
majority of the business people of the
town are directly interested either as
depositors or stockholders, is sufficient.
Although the fact has just come out,
for quite awhile the bank had been

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an intlamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets intlamed you have
a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an intamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh.

WITHIN THE TOWN.

4 Mr.. S. NJ. McNeel and others who
have the capital, stand ready to Or
ganize national bank in Yorkville at
the earliest practicable moment.
- The sermon that was to have been
preached by Rev. J. NJ. Steadman in
Trinity church, last Sunday night, on
the subject: "Does the Bible Teach
Prohibition ?" has been postponed un-
til next Sunday night.
- There was a game of baseball on
the local diamond last Saturday after
the campaign meeting. 1t was be-
tween Yorkville and Lock hart, aud af.
ter ten innings, the visitors won. The
score was II to 10.
- There is no use to try to deny the
fact that by the failure of the Loan
and Savings Bank, Yorkville is hard
hit. The blow falls not only upon the
stock holders; but upon the entire
community. But the stockholders are
among the worst sufferers. Among
the stockholders are many individuals
whose entire savings are represented
by this single investment, and though
in most cases it is only a few hundred
dollars each, to them this represents
much. Still there is no need for in-
dulgence in any recriminations Of what
ever nature. For instance, it is not
the fault of Mr.. McClain any more
than of the bank officials. Whatever
wrong that may have been done by
either is an error of judgment-the
miscarriage of intentions that were
only of the best. The damage canuol
be repaired by any attempt to fix
blame.

THE ENQUIRER had pleasant visit
last Saturday from the present gov
ernor and the next governor. Gov
ernor McSweeney and Colonel Hoy'
both called and had look through
the office. Both are old acquaintance
and fellow w-newspaper workers. Either
is fit TO be governor of South Carollna
or president of the United States, ano
it has been many long year since the
people have had the opportunity tt
vote for the superior of either. One
Of them will surely be the next gov
ernor. 1t hardly seems that there Is
anyone else in the race.
If such efforts as are being made tt
save the Sutro mill should fail, the
calamity will fall first on Mr.. Il. B
McClain, and next upon the town o
Yorkville. Than Mr.. McClain no mar
who has ever lived in Yorkville ha:
contributed more TO the growth ant
prosperity of the town. He has worked
in season and out of season, carrying
his days far into the nights, and de
voting all his efforts to development:
that have redounded to the benefit o
the entire community. The Sutrt
Cotton mill is different from other en-
terprises only in that it is of greater
proportions. Mr.. McClain's CONNER
cial integrity and private character
have been unimpeached and unim
peachable. His mill is only in need q
working capital aud fully capable o
paying dividends on all that is reqnir
ed. If failure should come under sucl
circumstances, we use a mild tern

Adjacent to Town Conveniences.
FOR cash, or upon satisfactory terms to
u the right party, / offer at private sale
that tract Of land on the southwestern
outskirts of Yorkville, known as the DR..
J. F. LINDSAY PLANTATION.
This plantation includes 32l ACRES,
lying on both sides of the Pinckney road,
which runs nearly through the centre.
The g. G.. & G. Extension railroad passes
through one corner, and the G. IL NV.
R. r. runs within about 200 yards of the
eastern boundry. The northeastern line
is within II miles of the courthouse, and
the town is accessible over either the
Chester or Pickney roads.
There are under cultivation and in
pasture about 200 acres, and the balance is
in woodland, most of which is original
forest. including many THOUSAND
CORDS OF FIREWOOD, and more or
less valuable timber. That portion of
land which is under cultivation is highly
improved, including thorough system
of terraces cast along scientific lines and
Of from seven to ten years standing. All
the land lies we'll.

house, good barn and four outbuildings,
with we'll Of good water. There are on
the place FOUR TENEM ENT HOUSES,
each near a spring. and on the place
to one or the other of the different cul-
tivated fields.
Several of the fields have, with favor
able SEASONS. yielded an average OF a
BALE OF COTTON TO THE ACRE.
and one four-acre tract has record OF
SEVEN BALES. This plantation was
improved by the late DR.. j. F. LINDSAY L,
during period of Is years, and most OF
the local public is aware that, especially
during the last ten years OF his life, ne
made on it heavier crops at less expense
than were made by any other farmer on
any other plantation in this section OF the
county. All of the land is as good or
better now than it has ever BEEN: ~
I am farming the place this year and
would want to give possession January
lst, 1901 but in the meantime the .pur-
chaser would be at liberty to build, cut
timber or do anything else that would
not interfere with the cultivation or gath
ering of the crop. -.
The situation of the property makes It
valuable as a place to run PUBLlC
GIN, and one has been successfully run
there for years. The gin house is well
built, covered with metal and in good
repair. The ginning outfit consists OF
l2 horse power engine, 6Osaw Van Win,
kle gin, condenser, feeder and press-all
in good running order. If sal le is made
in time to enable me to arrange to put my
stock, etc., on another place for next year,
I will put this ginning outfit in without
charge to the purchaser.

Good Yield Of Oats.

1876 bushels of wheat from seven BUSH

heavily overloaded. There were in
cluded in its assets number of securi.
ties that were of doubtful value. The
cash in the vaults had been drawn
quite low. There came a crisis that
revealed the situation, a run was COM
menced late Friday afternoon, and at
meeting of the directors Friday
night, it was decided, after careful
canvass of the situation, not to open for
business Saturday morning.
With liabilities of about $4,000,
and with cash and other quick assets
of considerably less than one-third OF
that amonnt, it appeared that there
was nothing to do but throw the mat
ter into the hands of a receiver, and
steps were taken 10 that end on Satur.
day. For the convenience of those
interested, Judge Gage came up from
Chester on Monday to hear the case.
Two petitions were presented to his
honor. One was by w. w. Lewis, Esq,
upon the advice and consent of direc-
tors, and in behalf of large creditor.
The other was by w. B. McCaw, Esq,
al the instance also Of directors, stock
holders and deposilors. The first bill
merely sought the appointment of a
receiver as is usual in such cases, and
the second requested the court 10 en-
power the directors of the bank to
wind up its affairs, they having agreed
to serve without compensation. There
was contest between the two peti-
tions occasioned principally by the fact
that some of the people who had sane
toned the first proceeding, afterward
changed their minds and gave their
adherence to the second. The matter
was temporarily settled by a post
ponement of the receivership matter
until the 29th of August, leaving the
affairs of the bank in statu quo in the
meantime.
What is going to be done remains to
he seen. There has been talk Of an
earnest effort on the part of the stock
holders to try to get the cash with
which to pay of all depositors. This
may succeed and it may not. If it
fails, a receiver will be appointed, and
the stock holders will be held bound
10 the depositors and other creditors
not only for the amount of their re.
spective holdings, but for los per
cent. in addition.
As to whether the Sutro mill con-
dition is as desperate as that of the
bank cannot be stated positively. 1t
does not look so bad. The mill made
profit of $4,000 month back in the
spring, and under present conditions is
capable of netting 81 900 month now.
This is sufficient to pay interest on all
its fixed charges and leaving a hand
some monthly credit to sinking fund
besides. 1t is only question of hold
ing back creditors while the property
lifts itself out of danger. If the credl-
tors are sensible and look to their in
terests, the mill will not fall into the
ineshes of rcceivership and become
food for the lawyers. Secured and
unsecured creditors alike will get all
that is theirs. Otherwise, secured
creditors will get, in most instances,
part of what belongs to them, and un-
secured creditors will get nothing
that is, not out of the particular wreck
that will now occur. Some expert
enced mill men have made an advan'
tageous proposition to creditors but
whether or not the creditors are going
to accept has not developed.
