great commonw ealth, could be guilty
of attempting to accomplish their ends
by such savage means. Still, howev-
er, when we consider all the public
threats that have been made by Re
publican leaders and the scant respect
they have all along showed for consti-
luted authority, it is not unreasonable
to saddle them with the responsibility
even if they did not actually direct the
commission of the crime. But posi-
bly, some good may come out of the
present crisis after all. We do not
think it at all unlikely that Kentucky
was deliberately stolen by the Repub.
licaus for Mckinley three years ago,
and we believe, further, that fraud has
been growing more and more rampant
ever since. Possibly the situation in
which the two parties have at last
found themselves may bring both to
realization of the fact that the best and
only way to get along with each other
in peace, is by the exercise of the most
scrupulous honesty and firmness in all
things pertaining to the conduct Of
elections and the administration of the
law.

Gastonia, and for Tuesday night with

organization had taken the Monday
night date at Gastonia, and requesting
that the Yorkville dates be changed
back to Tuesday. Mr.. Herndon did

IN A BAD HUM0R.

Our esteemed contemporary, the
Spartanburg Herald, woke up in bad
humor on Sunday morning. We pre-.
sumo this because we'know that when
people allow themselves to fall into
a bad humor they are inclined to snap
and snarl, and when The Herald woke
up Sunday morning, it was swapping
and snarling. The cause of The Her.
AIDS bad humor was evidently the ar
gument that was printed in THE EN-
QUIRER of last Saturday in favor OF
the states assumption of the debt that
the city of Rock Hill incurred on ac'
count of the establishment of Win
throp college.
1t is a right funny editorial that The
Herald has on this subject. Crock
Hlll's Bad Faith" is the heading, and
the text is introduced with the state
ment that THE ENQUIRER is whining.
We have read the whole thing with
much interest, and we have been i'm.
pelled to wonder, as we have wonder
ed time and again under the same cir
cumstances before, why it is that peo-
ple cannot learn that when they allow
themselves to fall into tantrum, they
should keep their mouths shut until
after the restoration Of their wontcd
serenity. What Philip sober would
say we do not know; but here is the
way Philip said it while he was mad;
Spartanburg was an active competitor
for this college. We sent strong delega-.
ton to Columbia To present the claims ol
this city. Under the provisions of law by
which the site was to be selected, we
made Il bid and it was in the best of faith
and every dollar of it would have been

ATTEMPT TO POISON.

Will Fewell, colored, and his wife,
Missouri Fewell, were committed to
Jail on Monday afternoon by Magis.
trate R. M. Anderson on the charge
of having attempted to poison the
family of Mr.. Brevard Fewell, of Ebe-
neZer. Il
1t seems that as he was about TO
commence his breakfast on Sunday
morning, Mr.. Fewell detected a pecu-
liarly disagreeable flavor to the sau-
sage that had been served, and upon
examination he found that not only
the portion he had taken on his plate /;
but the entire dish full was filled with
match heads. On account of various
circumstances that had occurred from
time to time previously, Mr.. Fewell's
suspicious fell on the Negro Will, and
he quietly sent for Magistrate An
derson.
1t was about 8 o'clock before Magis-
trate Anderson arrived, and as soon as
the magistrate put in his appearance,
the Negro started to run. After a
chase of some eight or ten miles he
was finally captured at about sun
down, and upon being accused of put
ting the match heads in the sausage
he freely confessed; but claimed that
his object was to poison his wife, with
whom he was at outs and who was
cooking for the family of Mr.. Fewell.
But little Importance is attached to
the Negroes story. 1t seems that the
fellow had been corrected a few days
before for washing his face and hands
in bowl that was for the use of Mr..
Fewell's family, and on account of
this and other things, it is presumed
that he was trying to get even.

positors and to themselves, the direc-
tors at last reluctantly decided to ask
the protection of the court until they
could marshal the assets of the bank
without too great sacrifice and dis
charge all Indebtedness.
How the matter will be finally
wound up cannot be positively stated.
Those hest in position to know, in.
Guiding the bank officials, all of whom
are thoroughgoing business men, say
that the bank is perfectly solvent.
Not one of them expresses a doubt
that every depositor will be paid in
full, certainly within 60 days, and pos
sibly within 80 days. 1t has been
stated to the reporter too, upon author
ity which he has no reason to doubt,
that the stock also is worth par, except
possibly it be reduced below that fig.
ure on account of some few assets
which may have to he sacrificed, and
on account of the extraordinary ex-
pense that may be occasioned by the
litigation now entered into.
Such is the story as the reporter has
gathered it, and as there is reason to
believe it is true. 1t would be more
creditable to the community if the ru-
mors recited were not lies. Notwith-
standing the deplorable consequences,
there is almost reason to hope that
they are not. But the absolute truth
must develop shortly. If the deposi-
tors are paid in full and the stockhold-
ers get back reasonable per cent. of
their investments, these facts will con-
firm the situation as described. 9th
erwise Dame Rumor will be vindicated
in her work.

- The Kentucky Republicans have
put into circulation story to the ef-
feet that Governor Goebel was assas-
sinated by near friend of the late
John Sanford, the man who was killed
by Goebel. A man named Rodman,
who claimed that he was in Frank
fort at the time of the shooting, first
told the story last Saturday, in Wells
ton, Ohio. There is shade of plausi-
bility in the suggestion that the assas.
sin only took advantage of the politi-
cal excitement as cloak to his motive !;
but still, the theory of political con-
spiracy has not been weakened in the
least.

- While we confess that we are
somewhat mixed as to the merits OF
the political quarrel in Kentucky, our
sympathies are on the side of the Dem
ocrats. We believe that the best in
terests of the state of Kentucky re-
quire that the Democrats should win.
Had we not so thought before the
assassination of Governor Goebel, we
would certainly think so now. While
upon the face of the election returns
Taylor was elected governor, and
while it is fact that fraud and force
on both sides seems to be the controll-
ing element in elections, still there is
no doubt of the fact that majority of
the wealth and intelligence of the state
is in the Democratic party, while the
Republican party is controlled princi-
pally by vicious ignorance and selfish
ness, very much the same as in South
Carolina, except that in Kentucky the
majority of the Republicans are white,
instead of black, as in this state. The
object of the Goebel law, which seems
to have been the principal cause of
present trouble, was very much the
same as the registration laws of South
Carolina, and while it is quite natural
that this law should be obnoxious to
the Republicans of the State, still these
Republicans were not ,justifiable in
resorting to assassination for the pur-
pose of redressing their zeal or imagi-
nary grievances. of course, as to
whether the assassination of Governor
Goebel was the result Of carefully
planned conspiracy cannot be definite.
" known at this time. We do not
like to think that men, whether Re-
pubIicans or Democrats, who are of
sufficient prominence and intelligence
to seriously aspire To the control of IL
