CHAPTER VII.

A horseman. who was evidently
stranger to the road, was trotting TO-
ward Springfield. He scanned every
object very closely. and sometimes
even seemed doubtful concerning the
direction to pursue. He wore CIVIL
ian's dress, a gray summer suit SUIT
ed to the climate. Now, at point
where the road branched In two direc-
tions. he checked his horse irresolute-
ly. pondered few minutes and then
waited for a carriage approaching him
from behind. 1t was a light open We

BROoKER AND DERHAM.

Derham and Brooker, the candidates
for comptroller general, are placed at
a peculiar disadvantage on the stump
because of the short time limit allowed
to each.
And there is another difficulty under
which they labor. At Yorkville, Mr..
Brooker got so mad that he looked as
if he could bite a nail in two, and he
threw charges and insinuations at Mr..
Derham in way to make it look as If
the latter was scalawag, of the first
water. Mr.. Derham also answered
with much heat, and offered to refute
with affidavit any charges that Mr..
Brooker might be willing to specify.
We doubt if either of the gentlemen
are guilty of very serious offenses. If
they were guilty, then no doubt some
body would institute criminal prose.

to settle such disputes. Unsubstan-

Mr.. A. G. LATIMER in the United
States senate That would be great
joke, wouldn't it? Mr.. Latimer is one
of the South Carolina congressman
who, when he first went to Washing
ton as Representative" of bis people,
augmented his salary by using his priv
ileges of the floor of the house to sell
enlarged photographs, etc., to the
members. Since then he has again
brought himself into some notoriety at
home by trying to claim credit for the
work of DR.. Stokes in securing the free
delivery of mail along star routes.
Why Latimer is not big enough for the
legislature, to say nothing of congress
or the United States senate.

AT the state reunion of Confeder-
ate veterans, at Greenwood, on Wed.
nesday, Captain Iredell Jones offered
resolution for the appointment of a
committee of three to memorialize the
legislature for the creation OF the Of
fee of commissioner of pensions. This
strikes US as a good idea. Paying out,
as the state does, 100000 year for
pensions, it is very proper that the
business should be under the direct
supervision of some one who could be
expected to give it sufficient intelligent
attention. The present arrangement
is as good as could be expected under
the circumstances; but the other ar
rangement would be much better.

CONDITION OF THE BANK.

There has been a number of new
developments as to the condition OF
the, affairs of the Loan and Savings
bank during the past few days, and
while the prospect appears much bet
ter than few days ago, still no def
mite conclusion.has been arrived at.
At the request of the directors, Mr..
w. J. Roddey, of Rock Hill, has made
a proposition looking to the liquidation
of Indebtedness of the bank. As we
understand the proposition, Mr.. Rod.
dey will assume control of the busi.
ness, and will pay over to the deposi.
tors the amount coming to them as
rapidly as assets can be realized upon.
He assumes no especial responsible,
ty; but gives his services without
compensation with a view to the
eventual establishment of bank in
Yorkville, if it should appear that
such step will meet the approval OF
the business interests here.
While the directors are disposed to
accept this proposition as the best in
sight, there are certain creditors of the
bank who have say 80, and who
would have certain conditions of the
trade modified before they are willing
to agree. The conflicting interests
are now negotiating with a view to
reaching a settlement. In the event
of an agreement there will be an order
of court that will allow the re.opening
of the bank forthwith. Otherwise,
there can be no change in the situa-
ton until after August 20.
1t is not yet practicable to give an
idea as to the probable value of claims
against the bank. On their face the
assets are ample to cover all liabilities.
There now seems to be good reason for
believing that depositors and other
creditors can be paid in full, without
exhausting the entire capital stock.
1t is not probable, however, that. H.
quotation can be completed within less
than six months.

If Senator Tillman comedies the
right of the goody goody people o'
York to have Prohibition if they
want it; but begs them, in the name
of fair play, not to put it on Edgefeld,
why should he be so anxious about
forcing the dispensary on Charleston
and Columbia ? And if Bishop Dun
can sacrificed the dignity of the church
when he denounced Senator Tillman
as a liar, what becomes of senatorial
dignity when Senator Tillman tells the
people of York county that they are
goody goody liars and hypocrites?

CONGRESSMAN AND SOLICITOR.

CONGRESSMAN AND SOLICITOR.
The candidates for congressman and
solicitor were in Rock Hill on We'd
nesday, pursuant to the executive COM
mittee arrangement.
There were very few people present
from the country and comparatively
small crowd from the town of Rock
Hill. The people did not appear to
be very much interested.
DR.. Strait told of his alleged wrongs
two years ago. He claimed that he
had denounced McLaurin as Re.
publican two years ago, knowing that
the people would resent his interfer-
ence; but now time has vindicated the
charge and he wants the people to
send him back to congress.
Mr.. Finley said he had nothing
whatever to do with the quarrel be:
tween DR.. Strait and the junior sena-
tor but he thought that If the doctor
were seeking vindication, it would be
well for him to take advantage of the
opportunity that will be presented
two years hence and contest for Mr..
McLaurin's seat in the senate.
Messrs. Mellow and Hough both
made good speeches, and the chair
man read a letter from Mr.. Henry iD'
which the latter expressed his regret
at unavoidable absence on account of a
poisoned foot.
The candidates for congress and So
licitor were at Tirzah on Thursday and
Friday, and according to the commit
tee programme, they will speak in
Yorkville today, Saturday.
