Trouble

Is that tired feeling - blood lacks vitality
and richness, and hence you feel like a lag
gard all day and can't get rested at night.
Hoods Sarsaparilla will cure you because
it will restore to the blood the qualities it
needs to nourish, strengthen and sustain
the muscles, nerves and organs of the body.
1t gives sweet, refreshing sleep and imparts
new life and vigor to every function.

with that end in view have for weeks
been collecting all their big guns and
supplies there. Lydenburg is describ.
ed as the centre of volcanic district,
surrounded by high cliffs and includ-

1t is reported that the Beers have i'm

there and that they can fortify the
place so as to make it impregnable
against everything but starvation.
Lord Roberts is now reported to be
resting at Pretoria and collecting there
the stores necessary for a base for
further operations. The impression
throughout England seems to be that
the war is virtually at an end, and in
deed everything looks that way; but
still this conclusion cannot yet be safe
ly accepted as certainty.

"A matter of importance that seems
to be deserving of attention just now,
is the selection of the two members of
the county board of commissioners to
be appointed by the governor. In its
wisdom, the state executive committee
has indicated that these officials must
go before the primary for their recon-
mendations. Probably this require
ment is not mandatory; but at the
same time the presumption would be
in favor of candidate for the Office
who would go into the primary wheth-
er he should be generally voted for or
not, especially if he should get plu-
rality of votes over competitors.
Though of very considerable impor-
tance is the Office, the salary is so
small as not to be consideration with
the right kind of a man. The two ap-
pointed commissioners in York coun-
ty-Captain Crawford and Mr.. Wilk-
inson-have been giving first rate SER
vice. Being in the race for sheriff,
Captain Crawford is, of course, not to
be considered in connection with can
didacy for primary recommendation.
Mr.. Wilkinson has made an exception
ally good commissioner, and has given
to the county some valuable time and
service. As to whether or not he will
continue to serve if reappointed, we
have no right to assume, further than
that he has always been ready to dis
charge every duty that seemed to fall
to his lot. The idea that he would
seek the place, however, is absurd.
We do not think the people could rea-
sonally expect such man to pay from
his own pocket 500 for newspaper an
nouncements, and twice that sum- for
other expenses in connection with a
canvass of the county for an Office that
should be seeking him instead. 1t
will be the same with any other man
whose services are really valuable.
Then it strikes US that there should be
some other arrangement of the matter.
We think it safer to leave the filling of
offices like these to the governor, upon
the recommendation of the county
delegation in the general assembly.

Some of our South Carolina ex-
changes are discussing the question as
to whether the state will be justified
in making an appropriation for the
proposed South Carolina Interstate
and West Indian exposition to be held
in Charleston. We have several times
seen the suggestion that the proposed
exposition is purely Charleston af-
fair, and that Charleston has no right
to call upon the balance of the state
for assistance. In our opinion the
very announcement of such views is
one of the best possible proofs of the
practical interest of the state govern
ment in the proposed enterprise. 1t
is evident that there is need for more
education along this line. Is the state
to derive financial benefit from such
an exposition ? The question hardly
seems to require an answer. South
Carolina certainly derived benefit from
both Atlanta expositions. She derived
benefit from the Philadelphia expo
sition, the New Orleans exposition,
the expositions at Nashville, Chicago,
and even at Omaha. We know of
citizens of York county who attended
all these expositions named, except
the last. Possibly some were at Omaha
also; but we cannot speak with GER
tainty. Anyhow, we know that all of
the other expositions have had their
influence upon those who attended.
Some, it is true, were merely enter
tanned by the shows; but others were
impressed with the value of different
kinds of improved machinery, the
value of natural home products that
were previously held valueless, and
new ways of doing things. The first
roller mill came to this county as the
result of what Mr.. G. L. Riddle saw
at one of these expositions. Mr.. Wade
H. Hicklin was induced into the Jersey
cattle business through the influence of
such shows. The introduction of i'm
proved saw mill and cotton gin ma.
chinery can be traced to like sources,
and to estimate the influence of such

State, Wednesday: The commence

and they were very impressive. Major
J. G. Hemphill, the versatile and schol'
arly editor of The News and Courier,
addressed the graduating class and
quite captivated the entire audience,
He caught the attention of all by
laughable comments on the advance,
ment of the shirt waist, and then kept
the attention by trend of thought
showing the emancipation of woman
from senseless fashions and stand
bordering on illitelacy to the sensible
shirt waist and an ever broadening

lishment of Winthrop college after
several futile efforts, and gave Senator
Tillman credit for it all.

The entire game passed of in the best
of good humor, and the Yofkville boys
generally speak pleasantly of the kind
treatment they received at the hands
of the people of Rock Hill.
Manager White came In for unani.
nous congratulation on his return to
Yorkville. Although he took it all
with becoming modesty, he was not
able to entirely conceal his satisfaction.
In conversation with the reporter on
Thursday, he said: "Yes, that was a
good game, and I am satisfied with it.
1t was largely the result of the hard
work we have been doing on the
practice grounds during the past FIVE
or six weeks. 1t is work that tells,
and that is the only way you can do
it. But I am DO less gratified at the
handsome backing our home people
gave US in going over to see the game.
We are playing to entertain the peo-
pie and the more interest they take,
then the more we are interested"
The Yorkville team left for Union
Thursday afternoon with the intention
of playing there yesterday afternoon
and again this afternoon. McMakin
went along to assist Chappelle with
the pitching. The Union team is one
of the best in the state after Anderson,

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

The county board of commissioners
held it's regular monthly meeting in
the Office of the supervisor last Wed
nesday. All of the members were
present.
Messrs. G. H. O'Leary and NJ. l.
Thomasson, of the Charlotte road
committee, appeared before the board
in behalf of the work they have ir
charge. 1t seems that the cbaingang
was moved from the Charlotte roao
before the completion of the work
there in accordance with the Original
agreement. After the chaingang wai
moved to Bullock's Creek township, II
was taken back to the Charlotte road
to finish up; but for some reason, pro
baby on account of hurry, failed tc
crush sufficient quantity of rock fol
top dressing. As the result, the last
mile of the road was left in a condi'
ton too rough for use, and Messrs
O'Leary and Thomasson asked tina,
this work be finished in accordance
with original intentions. On motion
of Mr.. Wilkinson, it was agreed to
send the plant back at the first oppor.
tunity to put top dressing over the
road. It is understood that this work
will hardly consume more than q
week of time.
Mr.. Love, of Chester county, ap'
peared before the board with reference
to certain gates across public roads in
Bullock's Creek township. he showed
that the gates were being maintained
in accordance with law, and the board
consented to their continued main.
tainance.
Quite large number of accounts
were audited and approved, and there
were several admissions to the poor
house. Also an INDECENT Confederate
soldier was granted an allowance OF
Sc a month on the outside poor &C.

Commissioner Wilkinson referred
approvingly to Supervisor Culp's
works on Kings Mountain battle
ground, and suggested that a move
ment should be inaugurated to get an
appropriation from either congress, or
the legislatures of North and South
Carolina, for the purpose of having the
battle-ground properly looked after in
the future.

BASEBALL,.

The Yorkville baseball team return.
ed from Rock Hill last Wednesday
night, every member of it in a rousing
good humor. The hopes and fears OF
the morning had become certainty.
Yhey had met the Rock Hill boys in a
hard fought battle and won first blood.
1t was a great game. Both sides
had been looking forward to it with
much interest for quite awhile. Rock
Hill was we'll aware that Yorkville
had most capital team, and she be.
stirred herself to get up nine to meet
it. Fully apprised of what was going
on, the Yorkville boys had an increas'
ing interest in the outcome.
Quite large crowd went over from
here. The representative of The EN-
oUIRER counted seventy, and mum.
ber of others have been reported since,
The Rock Hill people showed no less
interest. Most of the business men
closed their stores and Offices, and at
the ball ground, including quite large
number of ladies, there were few less
than four hundred people.
The Yorkville team consisted of six
home men and three picked players
from elsewhere, while Rock Hill play
ed three home men and six outsiders,
including McMakin, Charlotte's cham
pion pitcher. During the first two
innings both sides failed to score; but
after that Rock Hill piled up five runs,
and Yorkville stock went down to
zero, except in the estimation of a few
of the most faithful. Presently Rock
Hill went to pieces on errors, resulting
from a lack of previous team work,
and Yorkville, which was solid in this
particular, stood firm, holding the ad-
vantage to the end. The score result
ted eleven to six in favor of Yorkville.
The batteries were McMakin and
Swygert for the Rock Hill team, and
Chappelle and Mcdowell for the York
Vile team. McMakin struck out nine
men and Chappelle five. The York
vile boys batted McMakin much bet
ter than was expected, and gave
Chappelle splendid field support. They
won the game on allround good play
ing.
The Yorkville crowd, of course, was
thoroughly enthusiastic over the re-
suit, and the Rock Hill people, though
naturally disappointed, took their de-

expositions what would be the benefit

Except in cotton manufacturing, the

Lord Roberts occupied Pretoria on
June 5. Approaching to within a
short distance of the city with his
army, he sent into the city an officer
under flag of truce dAmanding a sur
render. General Lewis Botha sent
back request for an armistice, during
which the terms Of surrender could
be discussed. Roberts replied that an
attack had been ordered for an early
hour next morning, and that the sur
render would have to be unconditional
and at once. The representatives of
General Botha agreed, and next day
the British peacefully took possession
of the city. About the first thing at
tended to by General Roberts, after
entering the city, was to issue orders
for the release of the British prisoners
previously captured by the Beers and
held in Pretoria. During the negoti-

Boer forces were making their arrange

entered, the main body of the Boer
