HICKORY GROVE NOTES.
Recent 0eaths-farmers Far Ahead With Their
Work-Progress of the Gardeners.

Work-Progress Of the Gardeners.
Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
HICKORY GROVE, March 15.-There
have been several sad deaths in our
community in the past week. On Sab
bath evening, Mrs. Annie L. Bray, who
has been sick for some days with pneu-
monia entered into the sleep Of death.
Mrs. Bray was sister Of Mrs. Roberts,
who has lately moved to this place from
Kings Mountain. She was on a visit
to her brothers when taken sick.
At an early hour yesterday morning,
Mrs. Robert Westmoreland died, after
few days illness. Mrs. Westmore-
land was laid away in her last resting
place this afternoon at o'clock.
Both Of the above ladies had helped
to nurse Mrs. Morrison through her
sickness. It seems almost as If they
sacrificed their life for this lady.
The farmers around here claim that
they are a month ahead Of last year
in their preparations for their crops.
The plantation of Mr.. w. s. Wilkerson
lends an especially pretty sight to the
passerby. All of the town people have
been at work in their gardens. The
fruit trees are in blossom. They prom
ise plenty Of nice fruit, provided kill
ing frost does not come upon them.

A Negro, named John Henderson, was
burned to death at Corsicana, Texas,
last Wednesday, for criminal assault
and murder. He confessed his crime
and the citizens Of Corsicana made a
great holiday affair of the burning.
Justice Roberts held an inquest and
gave out the following verdict: II find
that the deceased came to his death at
the hands of the incensed and outraged
feelings of the best people in the United
States, the citizens of Navarro and ad-
Joining counties. The evidence, as well
as the confession Of guilt by deceased,
shows that his punishment was fully
merited and commendable." .Ex-

the conditions that the city will donate

of $500 for the maintenance OF the IL
brary. The offer will doubtless be ac-
cepted.

vision of Prof. Wilson L. Moore, chief
of the weather bureau. Prof. Moore
made this statement Tuesday regard
ing the experiments: "The most eff
cient method of long distance trans
mission has been found to be from CYL
inders. The new coast stations are be-
ing equipped with cylinders Of 16 wires
each and 140 feet in length. From these
cylinders it is expected to cover mag
netic field Of not less than 500 miles.
The stations now in operation are at
Hatteras and Roanoke Island, Pamlico
Sound, North Carolina. Workmen are
beginning the erection of a tower at
Cape May which will be the third sta
ton. When this is finished the two re-
mote stations will be 127 miles apart.
The three points now are connected by
government telegraph lines, but this
line will be abandoned on the compile
ton of the Cape Hatteras station. This
incidentally will save the expense OF the
maintenance Of half a dozen repair
stations"

elected, and would thereby betray his
constituents. especially as to the mat
ters in which they have charged him as
their representative. In refusing to en-
ter the caucus, he has merely shown
his determination to hold the interests
Of his constituents, above all other con-
siderations. The idea that he should
resign his seat because Of his position
relative to the party caucuses Is abb
surd. Had he gone into the party eau
cuses and there renounced the princi-
pies he advocated in the primary, his
constituents would indeed have good
ground to denounce him as a traitor
and demand that he resign his seat
forthwith. That is the way the whole
matter looks to us.
But Senator McLaurin is not going to
resign. He is not going to be driven, al
this late day, from his original position
by the abuse, Misrepresentation and
slurs Of those people who were unable
to defeat him in the primary. He Is 60

and give the people another opportuni-
ty to say whether or not they knew
what they were doing, when they en-
dorsed him before. All this is to be
gathered from the following statement
signed by him and published by him in
the Columbia Record Of Wednesday:
1.-The statement that I requested my
name to be stricken from the Demo
cratic caucus roll is absolutely false.
merely stated that I felt delicacy In
attending the caucus on certain ques-
tions where I differed widely from my
party associates, as it might embar-
rass their deliberations. 1t Is nothing
but a deliberate and premeditated at
tempt to prevent the people from hear
ing both sides Of great national issues
which nothing could ever reduce tc
mere party questions. If health and
strength permit, I shall present these
issues as best I can in the next Demo
cratic primary"

was necessary to give adequate protec-
way as we'll.
Count Cassini said there was not the
slightest question as to the right Of
Russia to construct the line across Chi
nese territory, and with this authority
came the necessity of protecting the
line and the interests connected with
it against depredations.
Inquiry was made of Count Cassini
as to the specific report that an agree
ment containing a number Of articles
was about to be concluded between
Russia and China.
The ambassador suggested that such
reports must be taken with great deal
of allowance. He was not advised on
any such agreement, and In the absence
of such advices did not, he said, feel at
liberty to discuss the subject. But on
any agreement or understanding which
Russia might make with China would
involve two essential features namely,
first, adequate protection for Russian
interests in Manchuria, in order that
there might be no repetition Of disorder
and danger to life and property; and,
second. the maintenance Of China's ter
ritorial integrity.
AS far back as August rs. Count Cas-
SIM pointed out, the Russian minister
Of foreign affairs, in a formal note had
announced clearly and distinctly the
policy of Russia in regard to Manchu-
ria. In accordance with that declara-
tion, it could not be doubted that when
order had been established in Manchu-
ria and measures taken for the protec-
tion Of railway construction, Russia
would recall her troops from Manchu-
ria, provided the action of the other
powers did not place an obstacle in the
way of such measure.

SUDDEN DEATH.

Mr.. Simpson w. Robinson, a highly
esteemed citizen of Yorkville. died sud-
denly at his home in this place yester-
Thursday, and yesterday morning he
ing seized with a pain In his breast.
grew rapidly worse until death came as
stated.
Mr.. Robinson was a well-known citl-
zen. He was born about three miles
east of Yorkville II years ago, and
lived in the neighborhood Of his BIRTH
place until during the past two years he
has been a citizen Of Yorkville.
There is not a great deal to be said
about the deceased, further than that
he was an honest, upright man. There
is nobody living that can truthfully de-
clare the contrary. He went to the war
as volunteer in Company A, 18th reg
iment, in August, 1861, and served
through the entire four years of the
struggle with honor and credit. He
was not just an ordinary soldier. His
comrades all testify that from start to
finish he was as good as the best.
Mr.. Robinson leaves widow and
six children-two sons and four daugh-
ters. The sons are Messrs. Robert and
Oscar, and the daughters are Mrs. A
D. Dorsett, of Glover; Misses Jamie
and Maggie, Of Yorkville; and Miss
Lena, trained nurse in the Epworth
orphanage at Columbia.
Up to the hour at which it was neces-
sary for this paper to go to press, no
arrangements had been made for the
funeral. 1t is probable, however, thnt
the interment will take place in
the Yorkville cemetery today, Saturday.

Mckinley IS NO COWARD.
He Walks About the Streets Without Any Armed
Attendants.

Strangers in Washington during in
auguration week frequently remarked
upon the personal courage Of President
Mckinley in going about the streets of
the city without guard and accompa-
MED only by his brother or some
friends. The crowds upon the streets
in Washington and the excitement
made no difference in the presidents
habits. He took his exercise at the
same time and in the same manner as
usual. Every morning after breakfast
urely for a mile or two In order to
stretch his muscles and get his blood In
circulation before beginning the duties
of the day. Then again before dinner
he often takes another constitutional"
His habit is so we'll known that the
residents of Washington have ceased
to remark upon it.
President Harrison used to do the
same and was seen in the business part
Of town even more frequently than
President Mckinley, who seeks the
quieter streets. President Harrison Of
ten went shopping. He appeared at the
ington as frequently as any other public
man, and delighted in taking Baby"

could find the opportunity. President

grounds. There is a tradition that up
on one occasion he walked on the south
side of Pennsylvania avenue from the
railway station to the White House in
company with Col. Lamont and anoth-
er friend, but nobody saw him. He
chose ain hour when the street was de-
serted. When he went out to drive he
No one ever saw the Cleveland carriage
without a guard when it was occupied
by the president; but neither Harrison
nor Mckinley has any use for police
men. The regular force around the
White House has been reduced from "a
to eight. Cleveland went out of office,
making four shifts of two men each,
night and day.
While there might have been greater
danger than ordinary to President Nc
Kinley during the Inauguration days.
when the city was full of strangers, 1t
evidently did not occur to him; nor do
the people of Washington sympathize
with the strangers who think that the
president is imprudent in going about
so freely. He has no sense of fear and
has frequently told people who caution
ed him that if any person was dispos-
ed to assassinate him there was no way
to prevent it. President Mckinley gets

NEWSPAPER STRIKES BACK.
Chicago Times Herald In Reply to Senator Till
mans Denial.

The Chicago Times-Herald was one
Of the first papers to charge that Sem
ator Tillman renounced his opposition
to the Cuban and Philippine amend
ments in behalf Of the Charleston ap-
preparation. In reply to Senator Till
mans denunciation Of the story as
false, The Times-H Herald says:
Senator Tillman says that he did only
what he could in legitimate, decent
way for the Charleston exposition, tina,
he made no pledges and received none
After such a rejoinder 1t would not be
courteous in the senatorial or any other
sense to press the point; but Mr.. TIL
mans apology anent the subject OF fill
clustering does not eXeulpate him or his
Democratic colleagues in the least.
He explains that they had forced
some concessions on the Philippines
which might have been denied at an ex-
ira session, and that, aside from this
fllibustering would merely have post
poned the inevitable because both
branches of the new congress were
strongly Republican. Rather, then
than provoke the majority. lit appeared
wiser to fully expose the infamies OF
the two amendments and then allow a
VOTE"
In the sentence just quoted, how
ever, the senator completely demolishes
his case, for while he admits the neces-
sity for a thorough debate everybody
knows that no such debate took place
The amendments were passed under
whip and spur. and the whole treat
ment of the problems involved was
summary in the extreme. In the first
place, what could have been more In
solent than making them subsidiary to
an appropriation bill? That was a
wholly inexcusable method Of dealing
with the gravest questions Of principle
that have come before this government
since the Civil war. And as for the
discussion over the questions, that
