- 1T IS CHAMBERS.

There Is no longer a reasonable
doubt Of the existence Of glanders in
Yorkville and vicinity. State veterina-
ry Surgeon Nesom arrived here Tues
day afternoon and as the result of his
Investigations 1t appears that this
whole section Of country Is threatened
with a serious epidemic Of this worst
of all horse diseases.
Immediately upon his arrival Surgeon
Nesom made an examination Of the
sick mule already referred to as belong
Ing to Mr.. p. w. Love. The case was
not exactly typical. in that several
symptoms usually present at such an
advanced stage Of the disease, had not
made their appearance: but Surgeon
Nesom was not long in making up his
mind about the matter.
I'm my Judgment, the animal has
CHAMBERS" he said to Mr.. Love; "but
do not feel warranted in condemning
your property without applying the
infallible mallein tests" Having already
become satisfied that the disease was
glanders, Mr.. Love was prepared for
Surgeon Nesom's judgment, and he
promptly agreed to accept the same as
final, without waiting for the arrival of
mallein tubes from Washington. Sur
geon Nesom then inspected Sheriff Lo-
gans horse and found that 1t also had
glanders.
Surgeon Nesom was called away Wed
nesday, but returned on Thursday, by
which time information had developed
of a number Of suspicious cases Of dis
ease among horses in different direc-
tions from Yorkville.
The first place visited was the farm
of Mr.. f. B. Carnes. on the Kings
Mountain road, four miles north of
Yorkville. Mr.. Carnes had horse that
had been sick for months with a dis
ease of the lungs and nostrils; but
which disease had not been diagnosed.
On arrival, the surgeon and party
found Mr.. Carnes plowing the horse in
his cotton field. Inspection of the ami
NAL showed the unquestionable pres
ence Of glanders in advanced stages.
There was no occasion for scientific
tests: because every symptom was OBJ
servable. Without unnecessary ceremo-
ny, Surgeon Nesom promptly ordered
the slaughter of the horse and the
burning Of the stable in which 1t had
been kept over it's carcass.
From Mr.. Carnes's the party went
to Mr.. w. Thompson Jacksons where
there was a sick horse. Careful exam
lnation here developed that the afflic-
ted animal was suffering from pneu-
monia occasioned by it's having been

WHILE the glanders situation, as de-
veloped, gives occasion for uneasiness,
we beg to call attention to the fact that
there is need for excitement. Such oc-
casions call for cool judgment and good
common sense, rather than panic. There
has been not a little irresponsible talk
with reference to the spread Of the dis
ease and the greater danger Of infec-
tion at one point than another, etc.
Out of this talk has already been en-
gendered much feeling. 1t Is not worth
while to go into details. because it is
to fix responsibility. People
who make false impressions, for
sinister purposes, are not above lying.
In a crisis like this, nothing Is so
wholesome as the plain. unvarnished
truth, told without regard to whom 1t
may help or hurt. Because of this fact
we have taken especial pains to get a
correct story Of the whole situation,
including expert information from
State Veterinary Surgeon Nesom. The
story appears in another column, and
NAV be relied upon as fact. From all
tie informa ton that has developed, 1t
appears that there is little reason to
hope that the contagion is confined to
Yorkville and vicinity. This whole
country is in for it, and Yorkville is no
worse off than any other section with
in 25 miles. In fact the situation is not
so dangerous here since the arrival of
Surgeon Nesom, and the execution of
all the precautionary measures that
have been taken. People are well on
their guard and on the lookout for symp-
toms. 1t will be we'll for horse-owners
everywhere in this section to exercise
every possible precaution and to
promptly report to Surgeon Nesom
every suspicious development. Surgeon
Nesom sees a probability of much work
ahead and expects to be recalled to
York county after his departure.

IN CLOVER.

A representative Of THE ENQUIRER
took Wednesday off and spent the time
between trains in Glover, the prosper
GUS and hospitable capital Of Bethel
and Kings Mountain townships.
There was nothing special going on,
and the newspaper man had no special
business in the town; but did not find
it, as many people would be inclined to
think. a dull, tedious task to while
away the time.
They have no street car lines in Glow
er any more than in Yorkville, neither
is there a dispensary in the town, and
what is better still. there are no blind
tigers there. 1t Is just a model little
community made up of good people. al
ways ready for any and every business
opportunity that might offer, and who
at the same time know how to divert
themselves with innocent amusement
when there is nothing more serious to
occupy their time.
Among the people with whom the
newspaper man had the pleasure of
shaking hands were Messrs. ]. J. Smith,
Zeb Neal. Stanhope Sifford, ]. p. Sif-
ford. J. F. Pursley. Zimri Carroll. A.
G. Stroup, VIM. Oates, Stroup Bros.
Representative J. w. Beamguard,
John Knox. George Knox, John Law
renee, ]. F. Jackson, M. L. Smith,
Meek Smith. F. e. Clinton, Arch
D. Dorset, Sam Mccall and others.
Captain w. B. Smith was In sight a
time or two, and a trip was made to
the poStoffice to see Uncle Josh; but
the office was closed for dinner.
There was not much business going
on during the day. There was some, of
course. Mr.. ]. F. Pursey was having a
pretty steady trade during the morn
ing and so was Mr.. John Smith. That
was while the newspaper man was
talking to them. Probably others were
just as busy; but, as a rule. people
were more interested in keeping cool
than any other occupation.
Carrom Is the principal diversion of
the town just now. There are several
carrom boards along the business
street, and interested groups are to be
seen all day, watching the different

"THE Abbeville Press and Banner Is
stepping up to the front. In it's issue
of June 10, appeared neatly gotten
up half page advertisement printed In
red ink, while the balance of the page
Is in black. Two color work Is an at
tractive feature in country weekly
Union Times.
With all due respect for our esteem
ed and excellent contemporaries, red
ink advertisement Is a waste OF time,
work and money. 1t Is a freak and Is
no more attractive and much less dig
nified and impressive. Advertisers who
indulge in them have money to burn
and are burning it.-Spartanburg Jour-
nal.
If the Spartanburg Journal will re-
fleet upon the probable inspiration of it's
comment. it will discover that it has
said what it does not mean. The idea
that a bright colored ink could lend to
the effect of an advertisement may ap-
pear absurd enough; but nevertheless 1t
is fact that this very thing has made
itself the subject of ten line editorial
paragraph in The Journal. If then the
editor of The Journal has been so per-
ceptibly Influenced by such simple ex-
pedient, how much more are the less
callous readers Of The Press and Ban
ner likely to have been affected.

x WITHIN THE TOWN.

A<1nformatio was received here yes
terday to the erect that Prof. John C.
Daniels, Of Clemson College, recently
elected superintendent Of the Yorkville
Graded schools has been elected to the
superintendency Of a school at Mt. Airy
at salary of 500; but on account Of
his previous contract will come here.
Miss Maggie Daniel, recently elected
as a teacher, in place of Miss Raysor,
stood first in a competitive examina-
ton for a position in the Laurens
school, and secured the refusal Of the
coveted place, will, also fulfill her con-
tract with the Yorkville trustees.
There is some little misunderstand-
ing as to the exact meaning Of the
town ordinance relating to bill posting.
The ordinance reads: Section 1. That
on and after the 18th day Of April A.
D., 1899, 1t shall pe unlawful for any
person or corporation to post any bill,
picture or advertisement Of any circus,
play or entertainment, or any adver-
tisement of any goods, wares or mer-
cllandise upon the streets, public high
ways, lots or other places within the
corporate limits Of the town of York
vile without first obtaining license
therefor from the clerk of the town
council" People who have taken out
the license herein prescribed have been
holding that the distribution Of circu-
lars within the town of Yorkville is also
included in the prohibition, and have
been demanding Of distributors Of cir
culars such fees as could be exacted for
the privilege. Examination Of the or
dinance. however, shows that it applies
only to the posting" Of bills Of the
character specified. and to no other
kind of advertising. Anykind Of adver-
ing mater may be circulated and dis
tributed without violating the ordi-
nance, and any kind Of advertising
matter not especially prohibited, can
be posted" without penalty.

1T is pretty generally understood that
the appointment Of jeff Richardson to
the Greenville postmastership, is to be
accredited to the handiwork Of Senator
McLaurin, and If that is the way the
senator is going to use the confidence
that the president reposes in him we
do not see where the harm is to come
in. Mr.. Richardson has always had
the reputation of being a good Demo-
crat, and, better still than that, he has
the capacity to make a thoroughly ef-
ficient and competent postmaster.

country with the only ardent hope Of
helping to break the chains that en-
s!aved Cuba. Today everything Is
changed. On again setting foot in this
free land I feel happy. for in every
American I see a friend, who having
shed his blood side by side with us for
freedom has earned our mutual obli-

when he will sail for Cuba.

high consideration accorded to one of
his rank. AS he will not be in the
United States on an official mission, but
merely returning through the country,
the United States may not feel called
upon to take cognizance of his imperial
character, although doubtless every
proper consideration will be shown to
the visitor.
General Maxine Gomez gave out
the following statement in New York
last Tuesday: I'm response to the re-
quest Of the press for me to make a
statement in regard to Cuba, all have
to say is that the acceptance Of the
Platt amendment by the constitutional
convention has already defined the po-
litical situation of Cuba, and as the
Cubaus are all anxious to esta blish
Self-government, they are all working
toward this end. There is not one who
does not desire to see the flag float free.

ing and so many sacrifices for free
