SHOULD the Democratic candidates
for the senate withdraw in favor OF
Hampton there need be no apprehen-
sion that other men would step into
their places. To do so they would have
to put themselves in the position OF
purposely and specifically attempting
to defeat Wade Hampton-and that is
something that would not be forgotten
by the people.-Columbia State.
By this. then, we are to understand
that it is Colonel Jones and the Colum-
bia State who are to name the next
United States senator. No other can
didate is to have the right to run, and
the people are not to have the right to
express their choice. We do not believe
it is possible that General Hampton
can be a party to such an arrangement.
He certainly would not have been 20
years ago.

lows: II approached Mr.. O'Brien in
regard to getting job. He asked me
where I was employed last, and I re-
piled with the C. and o.. at Cleveland.
At that moment I heard something pop
like match. Mr.. O'Brien threw his
hand up across his breast and began
to fall. The watchman and I caught
him and helped him up. Several men in
the shop rushed to our assistance and
carried him to the storeroom. He died
before he reached the storeroom, and
never even murmured." The mystery
of the death is where the shot came
from, as there was no one passing at
the time. The bullet entered the heart,
passed through the body and lodged in
the back. 1t was Of 32-calibre.

HOODTOWN NOTES.
The Cotton Crop-Not Much Corn
The Sowing Of Small Grain-SchOol
Meeting.
Correspondence OF the Yorkyille ENQUIRER

correspondence Vi the IoIkFlue EnQuiIeI.
HoopTowN, October 1.-THE estimate
of the cotton crop has been lowered
considerably since, wrote last. The
late cotton will probably not turn of
more than a good half crop. The ear
lier planting Is much lighter than was
thought before picking began. The
crop will probably be not far from that
Of last year, or probably lighter on gray
lands. The weather has been so IA
vorable for picking that most Of the
farmers are pretty we'll up with their
picking.
Some corn is being gathered. What
was left on the low lands was consid-
erably damaged by. the late freshets.
The bread question will probably ue
quite serious one next year, as so
corn. r.
There will likely be more wheat sown
here than usual, also a good deal of
oats will be sown. Several drills will
be put in operation In this and adjoin-
ing neighborhoods. Mr.. VIM. A. Lath-
am has bought one, also Mr.. B. l..
Jenkins, of Borax, one, and probably
others.
The school house at Shady Grove is
to be put in good repair for the winter
session which opens Monday, Novem-
ber 4th. Mr.. Horace Haffner, Of Ches-
ter county, has been selected as
teacher.
The question Of having a special
school district laid OF. is being agitated
here. A meeting Of the patrons Of the
school and others. interested will be
+ held at Shady Grove next Saturday af-
ternoon at o'clock to have the matter
discussed and explained.
The sacrament Of the Lords Supper
will be administrated at Shady Grove
next Sunday services at II o'clock.
Mr.. H. E. Hood recently cut a volun-
teer peavine from his field which

was of the black variety.
Although there were not great
many peas sown here, the crop is gen.
orally good, and quite a nice lot of
peavine hay has been saved. VocE.

MEETS WITH APPROVAL.
Prominent Fort Mill Man Says Fish
ing Creek Hill Is n Disgrace.

ing Creek Hill Is n Disgrace.
Editor Yorkville Enquirer:
I am glad to see two subjects agita-
ted in your paper of today, namely the
Tirzah road. especially the Fishing
creek hill, and the loop at the old Sam
Barron place. I hope you will include
with the above, the hills on each side of
the branch between the Wallace place
and the Robinson place. These places
have long and sorely tried the patience
and forbearance Of our people. They
are disgraceful to our civilization, and
1 am glad that you. Major Hart and the
others were so badly shaken up on the
occasion of your visit to the reunion.
I know of no place where our chain
gang could be more profitably employ
ed, and I hope the agitation will con-
tinue until these places are fixed and
we'll fixed. I am very truly.

inches across the base, and inches
from base to point. That 1t Is tooth

it has undergone a process Of petrifac-

Washington special Of Saturday to
the Greenville News: Mr. Capers, DR..
Ensor, and DR.. Clayton saw the presi-
ident today to urge the appointment Of
Blalock as collector. The president
gave them to understand that he did
not think he could appoint Mr.. Blalock.
The whole matter is at present held up
and will not be absolutely decided until
next week. 1t is understood that Dr.
Clayton is the presidents choice. The
reception of the gentlemen above nam
ed, at the White House. was most cor
dial and emphatic. To one Of them he
said, Il will not appoint any man to
Federal office in the south that I would
not appoint to the same office In the
north" In his conversation with these
gentlemen he made his position clear
on the colored situation in the follow
ing language: IF a white man and a
colored man were applicants for an Of
flee and 1 was absolutely satisfied that
the colored man was mentany and
morally better fitted for the office, 1
would not hesitate to appoint color
ed man, but would not so appoint him
because he was a colored man; but be-
cause he was the best qualified man for
the place. 1t should be a question Of
merit and character" If Mr.. Blalock
fails in receiving the appointment its
failure will be for reasons beyond the
control Of any of his friends or sup
porters. Senator McLaurin gave him
his endorsement and these gentlemen
say they were made to understand that
whoever might be appointed must he

1" HERE was a conference yester-
day OF the bosses and attorney
Of the allied corporations. The
contest for Mayor was reviewed.
- After exchange OF views the con-
clusion was reached that Wells
could not be elected. His headquarters
was closed and darkness reigned there at
9 O'Clock last evening He did not NIL en-
gagements TO speak last night Early in
the evening Il was said that he was indis-
posed by reason OF the physical and men
tai fatigue Of the campaign. Later in the
evening Il was stated that sickness in his
family was the cause Of his non-appear-
snce.
IL Is known that the bosses and cor
porations are ready TO sacrifice every
thing and everybody to beat Tobin. They
recognize that Wells is out Of the race,
and as between Tobin and Schmitz they
prefer the latter. and in line with that de-
cision have told the FOUNDERS TO break in
for Schmitz-

The Supervisorial ticket put UP by the
allied corporations is doomed. Nothing

ably go down with the tough customers

In the event Of Tobin's election, which
now seems assured, the bosses would not
be able TO control anything at the City

At the conference Il was suggested that
he might be brought around. II was
argued that he might be manageable,
whereas Tobin was on record against cor
