- When THE ENQUIRER referred to
the Hon. G. Walt Whitman as crank ,
it was without the least intention of
hurting the feelings of that distinguish
ed gentleman. Mr.. Whitman, howev-
er, is offended. He says "THE EN-
QUIRER is not brainy enough to grasp
the views or weigh the man of whom
it speaks" This is a matter rather
too personal for discussion; but in
order to provide for this special case,
we suggest that the primary rules be
so amended as to prevent candidate
who fails to receive an average of 80
votes TO the county, in his first race,
from again being candidate for the
same office. 1t is merely question OF
saving time and eggs, Mr.. Whitman ;
that is all.

The Work Completed.
Chief of Police Love, who had busi-

reports that the chaingang has
completed the work recently indi-
dicated by Supervisor Culp. A road
has been cut through the underbrush
to the top of the mountain, and the
space of an acre cleared off immedi-
ately around the monument near the
top. Mr.. Love says the work has been
done in very satisfactory manner.
The Welcome Rain.
The rain of Thursday night was
most welcome in these parts, and es.
pecially gratifying is the warm wealth

appears that the rain was quite gener-
al, and the water courses were high
out of their banks yesterday morning.

WITHIN THE TOWN.

/rhe burning out of a wire in the
dynamo resulted in the lighting OF
oil lamps throughout town Thursday
night. The mishap was repaired BY
10 o'clock p. m.
The deposits in the Loan and Saw

100000. This would indicate that
Yorkville is in pretty good shape to go

there must still he better things ahead,
we leave the subject until our return from

lucrative job. We do indeed know

not to have known our needs, else they
would have given us a good job long ago.

BATTLE-GROUND PROPERTY.


1t has developed that it will not be
quite so easy as at first appeared, for
the Kings Mountain Chapter, D. A.
R., to get possession of the Kings
Mountain battle-ground property. The
trustees, it appears, are without power
to make a transfer. As has already
been stated, Mrs. S. NJ. McNeel, secre-
tary of the Kings Mountain Chapter
of Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton, recently wrote to Governor Nc
Sweeney and Colonel A. Coward with
regard to the matter. The replies,
which appear below, explain the pres
ent situation.
STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA,
Executive Chamber.
COLUMBIA, May IA, 1900.
Mrs. S. NJ. McNeel,
Yorkville, S. c.
DEAR Manufacturing to your COM
munication of the 18th instant, request
ing that I, as governor, make title to the
Daughters of the American Revolution
of the Kings Mountain battle-ground, l
beg to say that it appears from the deed
you enclose that I, as governor, with sew,
eral others therein named, simply hold
the property in trust, and that the pur-
pose of this trust is to provide for the
protection and preservation of the monu-
ment, to be erected by the Kings Noun
tain Centennial Association, and the COLI
troll of the battle-ground, until the associa-
ton, after incorporation, declares its de-
termination to relieve the said trustees
from said trust by demanding the title
deed. AS the association has never de-
manded a title deed, the trust imposed
has not been carried out and is still OF
force. Until this is done, we must hold
the property in order to perform the trust
imposed.
However, your efforts in the matter are
worthy, and if any scheme can be devised
by which we can aid you, it would afford
us pleasure to do so. am
NJ. B. McSwEENEY.
Colonel Coward was prominently
connected with the work of erecting
the monument and carrying out the
centennial celebration. His letter is
as follows:
SOUTH CAROLINA MILITARY
ACADEMY,
Office of the Superintendent,
CITADEL, CHARLESTON, May Is, 1900.
Mrs. S. NJ. McNeel, Secretary,
Yorkville, S. c.:
DEAR MADAM-I would gladly be re-
lieved of the charge of the Kings Noun
ton battle-ground, seeing how impossible
it is for me to perform the trust; but 90
not think the plan you propose would be
strictly legal. Possibly the legislatures OF
the two states-(North and South Caro-
lina) can solve the difficulty possibly the
latter alone can do it. do not think
better or more appropriate repository OF
the trust can be found than the organiza-
ton of the Daughters of the American
Revolution, for what they cannot 90
they can always make the
sons DO. To meet the present issue, could
I not appoint you or some member OF
your organization to act as my agent :!
Ask your lawyer friends about this.
AS to my co-trustees, can tell nothing
except that several are dead. Captain W.
r. R. Bell, who had charge of most OF the
records, went to Texas several years ago,
and have lost track Of him. MIR. A. +.
Hutchinson, of Rock Hill, and Judge
Witherspoon may be able to give you
some information.
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
AsBURY COWARD.

What the ladies will do in the cir
cumstances will probably not develop
until the next regular monthly meet
ing of the chapter but tits pretty safe
to predict that they will not stop where
they are. Already there has been talk
of appealing to the general assembly,
and it is quite probable that before a
great while there will be call for
private subscriptions with which to do
something toward taking better care
of the property until matters can be
gotten in a more satisfactory shape.

John Connor, of this place, and Wm. Lee, of Winslow, returned from their prospecting tour Thursday morning. They visited parts of Arizona, Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico. MT. Connor reports seeing plenty of mineral, but the trouble is in it's being so far from transporta- ton facilities. He says the country up there is very dry and grazing is out of the question. What little stock there is has to be fed alfalfa altogether The people up that way are very accommodating. One man offered to let them ride few miles on hayrack for Sl0 each-if it would be any accommodation to them.

After many intricate experiments, scientists have discovered methods for obtaining all the natural digest ants. These have been combined in the proportion found in the human body and united with sub stances that build up the digestive organs, making compound called Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. It digests what you eat and allows all dyspep- tics to eat plenty of nourishing food while the stomach troubles are be- ing radically cured by the medicinal agents it contains. It is pleasant to take and will give quick relief. F. J. Wattron.

Fortunes in Oil.

The discovery of petroleum in Southern California has opened up an industry that bids fair to eclipse in money making chances the gold excitement of l849. Hundreds of men have become immensely rich by investing in oil stocks and oil lands. The industry is still in its infancy and those who are wise enough to invest in oil stocks (of good compan- ies) will realize immense profits.
 The Sunset Petroleum and Refn- ing Company is corporation com posed Of the leading moneyed men of the state, and offers it's stock at 10 cents per share, par value $1.00, fully paid up and non assessable. They are drilling we'll No. l, and will have oil within two weeks, when they will immediately commence drilling on we'll No. 2 and so on rap- idly developing their big tracts of proven lands.

A Question of Fact.

Prominent men have visited the Phil
ippines, firmly convinced that the ad-
mlnistration was wrong, and intent on
gathering material with which to
strengthen their position All have re-
turned as supporters of the president
and his policy Wausau Record.
Every one who has kept track of the
reports made by Americans returning
from the PHILIPPINES knows that some
of them have reported as above indi-
Gated by the Record, but that at least
an equal number have reported to the
contrary
The impression left by these conflict
ing reports upon one who has not per-
sonally visited the islands must be per-
picking. Our own opinion has been,
and is, that these reports have come
almost always from men who have seen
very little of the islands or their inhabi-
tants, and that they oftener represent
the political views of the one who gave
them out than they do any compass of
actual observation worth mentioning.
We recall one report, however, written
for Golfers weekly, by its correspon-
dent in the PHILIPPINES, after he had
been there six months and visited all
the larger islands, in which he admits
that he went there believing and ex-
pecting to find the condition as it was
claimed to be by the administration at
Washington, but, although republi-
can himself, and correspondent of a
republican paper, he was forced to adj
NIT that the truth was exactly the
opposite.
In this confusion of American voices
it may be well to listen to a very COM
petent witness, who being an English
man may be presumed to be unaffected
by partisan politics in the United States,
aud who is known to be friendly to the
Mckinley administration, as most Eng
lishmen have good reason to be, for as
Premier Chamberlain said, in speech
to Englishmen at Southbridge last Tues
day, Great Britain's policy is to remain
on friendly terms with every great
country in Europe, and on something
more than friendly terms wih the United
States"
This disnterested witness, to whom
we appeal from the partisan opinion of
the Record, is Mr.. John Foreman. We
will let an independent newspaper, The
