WE favor the appropriation by the
state of s5O,OO0 for the South Carolina
Interstate and West Indian exposition,
because we believe York county Will
get as much benefit in proportion to It's
pro rata share Of the cost, as any other
section of the state, Charleston not ex-
cepted. Although the fact is not real
lied abroad the white people of South
Carolina are among the most fntelh-
gent ad progressive to be found In the
Union. No state in the United States
has made more progress through lis
own initiative and Independent efforts.
No people Of this union have a bitter
appreciation Of their natural and 9TH
er advantages, and no people are max
ing more rapid progress industrially or
otherwise through their unaided efforts.
But the progress we are making is not
as rapid as we would like to have 1t.
There is in the North and West much
capital and ability that are seeking
such opportunities as we are able to
offer. We need to advertise what we
have, and this exposition will help to
do it. We need have no fear Of being
taken possession of by outside capital
and energy. We have enough of both,
and also sufficient intelligence to hold
on to our own, and are in position to
help and be helped by new corners.
We want, therefore, to hold this exposi-
ton on the largest scale possible, and
make a success of it. If we do not get
all the results we have a right to ex-
pect, then we want to try it again, the
next time in Columbia, on still larger
scale.

BAR silver is now worth 63a cents an
ounce, against SO cents in 1896 when Mr..
Bryan was conducting his first cam
paign so vigorously. There is not the
same need for the free coinage Of silver
now that there was then; but the very
conditions that have removed this need,
prove the correctness of the arguments
upon which the Democratic party based
it's demands. The argument then was
that there was not sufficient gold to
supply as much basic money as the
commercial requirements of the world
called for. The stress has been relieved
by an increase in gold production, and
the price of silver has advanced as the
price of gold has declined.

LETTER FROM HICKORY GROVE.
The School Resumes Work After a Pleasant
HoIiday-About People.

Correspondence OF the Yorkville ENQUIRER.
HICKORY GROVE, January S.-The
New Year was ushered in with very
disagreeable weather, but partridges
were plentiful and a great many were
bagged.
The school opened again last Fri
day. The number enrolled now Is just
about an even hundred. When we con-
slider the population Of the town we
hold this to be very creditable num-
ber. A few days before Christmas the
children took part in a Christmas en-
tertainment. The programme was not
long; but the children were well pre-
pared, and made quite good impress
sion upon the people. The exercises
were concluded by the appearance OF
Santa Claus and Christmas tree full
of all sorts of things for the children.

ents at their new home in BlackstocK.

The week Of prayer Is being observ-
ed in Yorkville by services in the differ
ent churches. The Monday evening
service was held in the Presbyterian
church, Rev. A. N. Brunson addressing
the congregation on the Need Of more
spiritual power in the church and
greater conception of the glory of the
world as redeemed by Christ" Tues
day evenings service was appointed
to be held in the Methodist church, the
address to be by Rev. B. H. Grier on
the Need Of a church which, by the
power of faith and the presence Of the
Holy Ghost, shall be wholly Christian"
The services this, Wednesday evening,
are to be held in the Associate Re-
formed church, the address to be made
by Rev. j. B. Bozeman. Tomorrow
evenings service will be held In the
Baptist church, the address to be delINS
cred by Rev. w. G. Neville, and on
Friday evening in the Presbyterian
church.
"A great big white thing like
lion, that eats off the heads Of dogs
and pigs, and leaves them lying in
pens and yards" has been provoking
uneasiness in the minds Of the colored
population and small boys during the
past few days. One story had 1t that
the animal went to the house Of Will
Adams, colored, on Railroad street, and
bit the head off his dog. There were
also stories of numerous turkeys be-
longing to various individuals, being
torn to pieces and devoured. Some lit
tie investigation Of the stories lead to
the conclusion that Adams's dog lost its
head under the drivers Of one Of the
big freight engines on the South Carolina
and Georgia Extension railroad. This,
Notwithstanding the fact that several
people, all colored, claim to have seen
the great big white thing" Some
more light was developed on the sub
ject yesterday morning. Rev. B. H.
Grier was in THE ENQUIRER office on
other business, and while here, he re-
marked to the writer: II wish you
would call the attention Of the people
of Yorkville to the necessity Of sup
pressing the prowling dog nuisance.
lost a fine large turkey last Friday
night by such dogs. 1t was a big tur-
key that my Tirzah congregation sent
me. 1 had intended to have 1t on the
table this week. Late in the night
was awakened by a furious swapping
and snarling about the chicken house,
and on looking out, could see three
hungry dogs fighting over the remains
Of my turkey. They had managed to
pull the fowl from the coop by force. I
had nothing to shoot with, and was
unable to get even ordinary satisfac-
ton. I think there should be a dog
tax or license-something to suppress
useless prowlers." Rumor has it that
several people have lost turkeys, and
he probability is that such Of the
fowls as were not stolen, met fate
similar to that described by Rev. Mr..
Grier.

SENATOR Morgan wants to amend
the army reorganization bill by nro-
viding that no part Of the army may
at any time, be used as posse conf

The adoption Of this amendment will
make impossible further following or

President Cleveland on the occasion of
the great railroad strike in Chicago.

Player Is Arrested.

Player Is Arres'ed'
F. M. Player dispenser at Kingstree
was arrested last Saturday on the
charge of nnlfeasance in office. The
dispensary was robbed of a large sum
of money, Christmas might. Player
told that four masked men had ridden
to the dispensary and had forced him
to open the safe. 1t has since been
learned that Player was drunk IN the
dispensary that night, and that he had
refused to deposit the money with the
county treasurer as required by law.
Tor criminal carelessness he was ar
rested by w. H. Holloway. After his
arrest he admitted that he had loaned
dispensary money to his friends.

Murder In Glover.

| Murder In clover.
A Negro murder, the particulars Of
which THE ENQUIRER failed to get pre-
viously, occurred in Glover on the night
Of December %. Robert Lee Adams
killed Moses Miller. From such infor-
nation as has been obtainable, the
killing was entirely unprovoked.
Adams, who is dangerous desperate,
fired upon Miller without warning.
The ball entered Miller's abdomen and
passed through his liver, producing
death on the following Monday. Adams
made his escape and the town author
tiles Of Glover have petitioned the gov
ernor to offer a reward for his appre-
hension. It is understood that Miller Is
not the first victim Of his murderous
disposition, he having killed at least
one man before-perhaps others.
Bowling Green, Allison Creek, BetI,-shifoh.
Rev. w. A. Haffner, now pastor Of
Bowling Green and Ramah churches,
will probably soon be pastor of Bowling
Green, Allison Creek and Beth-Shiloh.
This will be the case If Allison Creek
and Beth-Shiloh realize their desires in
the matter. Both Of the last mentioned
churches have spoken. At recent
congregational meeting, Allison Creek
decided to call Mr.. Haffner, and at
meeting held at Shiloh, last Sat-
urday, that congregation followed Alli-
son Creeks lead. The two churches
would have been glad to take all Of
Mr.. Haffner's time; but the call was
not made QUIT in that form for the reason
that it was pretty well understood that
neither he nor Bowling Green would
hear of such thing. Then 1t was decid-
ed to ask for a division like this: one
half to Bowling Green, and the other
half to Allison Creek and Beth-Shiloh
The call was made out in this form, ant |
at q special meeting of presbytery, t
be held for the purpose soon, it Is eI
pected that Mr.. Haffner's pastoral relf
tions with Ramah will be dissolved an
the calls from Allison Creek and Bet
Shiloh will be placed in his hands.
