THE NEW LEGISLATURE.
The Dspensary and the Elections will Con
sumo Some Time

It is a pretty long time before the
general assembly will meet here, says
August Kohn in his Sunday letter tc
The News and Courier, and it may be
decidedly premature to have anything
to say about the work Of that body
There is no doubt now that the next
session Of the general assembly will
be limited to 40 days-at least the pay
reason why the work cannot all be
done in that time or even less than Al
days.
Naturally the liquor question viii
come up for consideration and will take
up more time than it ought. There
will be lots of beating around the bush
and nothing much will be done. There
are some changes that are sadly need.
ed in the management of the state
dispensary, and improvements that
ought to be made in the system, from
the purchasing down to the filling out
of blank applications for liquor; but
as has Deen said before, the chances
are, as always, that nothing will be
done.
What is attracting more attention
just now than anything else is the elec.
tons whicn will come under the con-
troll of the newly elected general as.
sembly. Most of the judges of the CIR
cult court will have to be elected dur.
ing the two years term of this legisla.
ture. and there is already much talk
about the matter.
1t is stated that Judge Buchanan will
not be a candidate for reelection, and
there are several candidates announc-
ed for his position. Among the most
prominent are Mr.. r. o. Purdy, OF
Sumter; Mr.. T. B. Fraser, son of Judge
Fraser, and Mr.. George Thompson Gill
latly, prominent lawyer of the Flor
ence bar. The name of Solicitor Will
son has been mentioned in connection
with this contest; but it is said that he
will not enter the race.
There is talk Of opposition to the re-
election Of Judge D. A. Townsend, and
several names are mentioned of those
who intend to run against him; but ii
is not known If the opposition will ma
terialize. The names. Of Messrs. ]. W.

How the Farmers Were Helped By Wheat--Home
Production Not Yet Up to Requirements.
All the Colleges Doing WeII--Cotton Buyers
Not Up to the Yorkyille Standard.

correspondence OF the forkvllle enquirer.
GREENvILLE, October 1.-The idea
that cotton is the one money crop of
the South has been pretty we'll explod-
ed in this part of South Carolina, and 1t
seems to be the opinion of many over
this way that in the future wheat will
receive that attention that sound bus
mess principles have always dictated.
The wheat acreage in Greenville and
Pickens counties was larger this year
than at any time within the recollec-
ton Of the "oldest inhabitant," and SO
also was the yield. There are two roll
ler mills within the city limits. One
has a capacity of 200 barrels every "a
hours and the other can turnout go.
They are both kept busy night and
day. These mills have bought thou
sands Of bushels Of wheat from the
farmers since last July, and have paid
an average price of 80 cents a bushel.
Both mills are forced to buy from the
West at present; but it Is the hope of
their owners that they will buy less
next year than this, and that each sue
crease until there will be no necessity
to buy the Western product. 1t is said
that the cash paid out here this sum-
mer and fall for home-raised wheat
has been the means Of keeping many
Of the sellers from bankruptcy. The
outlook now is, that, Notwithstanding
the comparatively high price that cot
ton is bringing, much larger acreage
will be sown in wheat this year than
last, and that more care will be taken
in preparing the land in sowing the
crop.
The fall session of Furman univer-
sity commenced on the 9th ultimo.
About 100 students have already been
enrolled-the largest enrolment in the
history of the institution. The Green
Vile Female college opened on the same
day as Furman university, with the
largest enrolment in it's history. There
are two other female colleges here
Chicora, under the auspices of the
Presbyterian church; and the Green
vile College for Women, a private
school-and both have a larger num-
ber of matriculates than ever before.
Crops in this section are about the
same as in York county, both with re-
gard to cotton and corn.
The merchants here are complaining
bitterly at the low price that the local
cotton buyers are offering for cotton.
The price paid here is at least one-half
cent less than is reported from York.
vile, and as result comparatively lit
tie cotton is being sold here and busi-
ness is reported as being unusually
dull. All the nearby towns and mills
are paying more than the Greenville
buyers; but not so much as those at
YorkVille. SAM M. GRIsT.

RACE TROUBLES.

Trouble that has been developing in
Rock Hill for a number Of weeks be-
tween a certain class of whites and
Saturday in a riot. That is the way it
appeared to the majority Of the people
in Rock Hill.
Such race feeling as there Is had its
origin among the tough, idle element Of
both races. Idle whites have for some
time felt it to be their special mission
to regulate the idle blacks. Some
weeks ago Negro was set upon, beat
en- and robbed Of some whisky by a
crowd of toughs. This caused lots of
feeling and much threatening talk on
the part of the Negroes.
On last Saturday, an inoffensive Ne
gro named Jack Crawford, was shot by
a white man named Sid Smith. The
rival Negro element was still further
aroused by the unprovoked character
Of the assault, and from the threaten
ing talk that was INDUCED in, it looked
as If race riot would develop In short
order. So serious did the situation ap-
pear lIdL lllClS wac q ioh oAi ehS AAe-AN ~
ware stores that very nearly exhaust
ed the supply Of pistols in stock. 1t
grew to be an understanding that trou-
BILE would probably develop upon the
arrival of the midnight train from
Charlotte; but later 1t appeared that
the Negroes were not so aggressive as
had been assumed and the expected riot
did not occur.
Smith was arrested on the charge OF
shooting Jack Crawford; but two Off
GERS who went with him in search of
bondsmen, allowed him to escape.
Smith afterward sent word that he
would be on hand to stand his trial.
It was expected that wild Bilf' Pet
tus, who Is alleged to have participated
in the robbery and beating Negro a
week or two ago, would be brought to
Yorkville Monday afternoon. The sher-
ifr, however, received phone message
to the effect that Pettus had succeed
ed in giving bail.
Since Sunday there has been no fur
| ther fear Of trouble in Rock Hill. The
people now realize that the whole dan
ger has been very much exaggerated.

OVER AT OGDEN.
Cotton Picking Up to the Opening Rob-
ert Conrad Meets With a Gin Accident
Quarterly Conference Meeting.

Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
OGDEN, October I've rarely ever
have more favorable weather for gath
ering crops than we have had this fall.
The farmers herr have been making
good use of it. Cotton has been picked
about as fast as it opened, and 1t has
opened very rapidly. 1t has nearly all
been ginned and sold about as fast as
it was picked. Very few are willing to
sell under 10 cents, and some are hold
ing for 12s. Most everybody estimates
the cotton crop at about one-half Of a
good average crop. The good price OF
cotton, together with the good grain
crops that were made this year, will
place the farmers in much better
standing at the end Of the year than
they were at the same time last year
I think there will be considerable
grain sowed this fall IN this section. Up
to this time the ground has been too
dry and hard to get grain in. We had
a good shower Saturday night; but
hardly enough to make the ground
plough good. The corn crop here Is
better than it was last year. Chinch
places; but there will be considerable
corn made.
Mr.. Robert Conrad, who has been
working at the gin at Ogden, had the
misfortune to get his right hand badly
cut in the gin Saturday morning. They
had just finished ginning a bale and
Mr. Conrad rang the bell for the fire.
man to shut off steam. He raised the
breast of the gin to do some work
about the saws, when his hand was
caught. But for the fact that steam
had been shut off he would have lost
his whole hand and probably his arm;
but his hand choked the saws and
stopped the machinery. A physician
was summoned at once and on exami-
nation fourd it necessary to amputate
two fingers, one at the first joint and
one at or below the second joint. He
has suffered a great deal, but is getting
along very we'll.
There are several cases of malarial
fever here; but none of them are Sc
rious.
Mr.. T. ]. Strait and Mrs. S. M.
Roach are on the sick list this week.
The fourth quarterly conference of
North Rock Hill circuit was held at
Adnah church last Saturday morning,
Rev. DR.. Bays presiding. The doctor
preached an able and instructive ser
mon Saturday morning. Also a good
sermon Sunday morning. We enjoyed
his visit among US very much.
The farmers Of York county will do
we'll to take THE ENoUIRER's advice
in regard to sowing grain this fall. A
good grain crop next year, together
with fair price for cotton, will put
the county in pretty good shape.

Spartanburg, and George S. Mower, of

with this race.
One of the interesting contests will
be for librarian. There are now three
prominent candidates for the place:
Mrs. S. c. Cason, Miss Barron and Miss
Blanche O'Neale. The friends Of these
ladies are conducting an active cam
paign, and an interesting contest is to
be expected.
The best thing that the members of
the general assembly can,d do is to have
whatever elections are to be just as
soon as possible, and when they are
out of the way, and not until then, can
the members have any peace and get
down to work.

Cotton Picking.
Reports from the farmers are to the
effect that while cotton picking Is pref
ty we'll up with the opening, 1t Is not
yet nearly finished. Some say they are
ABOUT half finished, and others think
that they nave rs or 80 per cent. Of their
crops gathered. There Is good deal
of Truitt and other late varieties OF
cotton still in the field. 1t Is a pretty
general opinion that there will not be
much cotton picked this year after the
cold weather sets in-not unless frost
comes within the next two weeks.

TWO SOCIAL EVENTS.

On Saturday afternoon two brilliant
social events did all in their power to
dispel the glRom of that disagreeable
day. Mrs. Eugene GulicS was the
hostess of one party and Miss Garrison
of the other. Mrs. Gulick entertained
about sixteen ladies in her usual whole
hearted, hospitable way. The party
was in honor of Mrs. McAhren' IS guests,
Mesdames VanSteenburg. Armstrong,
Henry Gardner and L. Gardner
Fancy work had to be abandoned on
account of the Imperfect light but the
chatter and hum of conversation went
right on until Mrs. Gulick and Mrs.
Voss served supper. The guests were
seated at small tables and an elegant
and substantial two course supper was
served. every item being fully eligible
for the Friday club cook book. While
the married ladies were enjoying them
selves at Mrs. Gulick's, the young
ladies to the number of about thirty
were having a perfectly splendid time
at the home of Lillian Garrison, The
mystic words, There money in it. =
proved to be in regard to the surplus
in the U. S. treasury on the 3lst of
December. Every guest present made
a guess and the lucky winneris to re-
ceive prize of five dollars when the
date arrives that will decide it. We
venture the prediction that the young
ladies will have guessed nearer than
the men did on the Titus amendment.
Each guest was also invited to tell the
best story she had ever heard and the
result was a crop of mirth producing
stories. Mrs. Garrison, who is good
deal of girl herself, assisted in the
entertaining and the serving of very
nice supper. Both Mrs. Gulick and
Miss Garrison are to be congratulated
upon their very successful attempts to
give pleasure to their guests.

DEATH OF MRS. KIMBALL.

Today we have to chronicle the death
of Mrs. Kim ball, a lady who has been
making her home her for the past few
months, residing at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. A. j. Gary. Mrs. Kimball
was an efficient trained nurse. She at
tended Mrs. VIM. Hogansen during her
last illness and week ago today she
was one of those who undertook the ar
rangements for Mrs. Hogansen's funeral
1t is thought she contracted the pneu-
monia from being with Mrs. Hogans7n
and not little alarm is felt in the COM
munity over the possibility of infection.
On account of the suddenness of her
death friends here have been unable as
yet to communicate with her sons and
daughter and no arrangements have
been made for her funeral. Shortly be-
fore her death she expressed the wish
that Rev. F. w. Bateson should ofticiate
at her obsequies and this wish will be
regarded. During her brief stay in
Denison Mrs. Kimball has made many
friends and there is universal regret
that she should die without any mem
Der of her family being present

1t appears that while Crawford coun-
ty has gained in population from 1884
70 u $50 OF 279l in the last decade,
Denison has gained $50. Thus more
than third of the gain of the entire
county has been made in this city.
When we further take into considera.
ton the gains made in other towns and
the number of lew towns which have
sprung up it is apparent that the farm.
ing districts have made but little gain
in population. Prices of land have
raised thus forcing many to go west in
search of still cheaper farms. The
country is better settled there are
better buildings and more acres unde,
cultivation but the population is little
denser than 1t was ten years ago.
