WITHIN THE TOWN.

Valentine day seems to have gone
almost out Of vogue. It was not gen.
orally observed here Thursday.
Owing to a disagreement over the
terms Of the proposed contract, Mr.. J.
@. Wray has given up his interest in
the management Of the Yorkville roller
mills.
The firm Of S. L. Hobbs & Co., of
which we are informed Mr.. S. L. Hobbs
Is the only member, filed voluntary
petition in bankruptcy yesterday morn
ing with John r. Hart, Esq, as attor-
ney It is impracticable, at this time,
to give a satisfactory statement Of as
sets and liabilities.
1.-THE Three C's hotel has been re-
opened as "dollar-a-day house." un-
der the management Of Mrs. Eula
Moore, of Augusta, Ga. Mrs. Moore
took charge last week and has since
been busy arranging for the accommo-
dation Of the travelling public. It is her
purpose to cater not only to transient
travel; but especially to the patronage
of visitors from the surrounding coun-
try, who have occasion to take meals
in town.
When THE ENQUIRER went to press
yesterday afternoon, the indications
were that the graded school entertain
ment to be given in the evening, would
break all records in point Of attend
ance More than $50 reserved seats had
been sold and the outlook was that
those who were calculating on securing
general admission tickets, stood a good
chance Of being disappointed. There
was a dress rehearsal Thursday night,
and 1t was a success from start to fin
ish, the little chaps and the young
misses all acquitting themselves hand
somely.
There was little smallpox scare in
town last Saturday. 1t did not create
much alarm because great many peo-
pie did not know of it until the Incl
dent was closed. 1t was reported to
Chief of Police Love that there was a
case Of smallpox over in Swamptown.
In investigating the matter, the chief
found a Negro recently released from
the chaingang, with a suspicious erup-
ton on his face. The Negro was TAX
en- to DR.. Walker, chairman Of the
board Of health, for examination, and
the doctor said that the suspicious

AS we go along, don't let us forget
the probable amount Of credit that is
due to Southern cotton mills for the
present high price Of cotton. 1t is true
that Southern mills want to buy cotton
as cheaply as possible. They are no
more likely to advance the price volun-
tarily than are the Northern or for
eign mills. But suppose there were no
Southern mills. how much easier would
it be for the Northern or foreign man.
ufacturers to fix the price at lower
figures? The competition that is fur
nished by the Southern mills is Of al
most inestimable value to the cotton
producers Of the South.

THE correction by the senate of the
defects that the house left in the con-
cealed weapons bill, is as was antic-
ipated. The bill, as it passed the house,
meant very little. AS it now stands.
it will be unlawful to carry concealed,
or otherwise, any pistol Of less than 20
inches in length. except at home. The
bill has some merit, and If properly
enforced, is calculated to be of benefit.
Other concealed weapon laws have
been indifferently enforced, and there
is reason to fear this one will not fare
any better.

IT is understood that among the de-
mands that the United States proposes
to make of Cuba, will be that the Mon
roe doctrine must be strictly recognize
ed; the country must not be mortgaged
to foreign power; this government
must have the privilege Of establishing
coaling stations at Havana, Cienfue-
COS and Santiago; a part Of the mill
tary force now on the island must be
allowed to remain until the United
States sees fit to take it away. These
demands are to be formally submitted
to the constitutional convention now
sitting.

THERE has been a long fight In the
Cuban constitutional convention over
the question as to whether any but ma
tive born Cubans should be eligible to
the presidency. The fight hinged alto
gether upon the presidential aspira-
tions Of Gen. Gomez, and this week 1t
was decided in favor Of the general by
a single vote. AS to whether or not
General Gomez is the right man for
president, or as to whether he will ever
be elected to that office, are only mat
ters Of speculation; but in establishing
his eligibility the convention has GER
tainly done itself no discredit.

Schmidt from entering the place by
striking him with an axe, inf1icting a
scalp wound. AS he fell to the ground
Henry Schmidt made a gun play in de-
fense Of his brother that nearly cost
him his life. One Of the crusaders. fol-
lowing up the preachers attack, had
raised an axe to strike Henry Schmidt,
when a companion wrested the weapon
from his hands. For time serious
trouble seemed likely. The mayor call
ed a special meeti..- of council to plan
means of quelling the disturbance and
providing against further outbreaks.
Tonight the council decided that all
Joints must close Immediately. The
iointists are defiant and bloodshed is
feared.

THE suggestion Of Mr.. John McMil-
Ian with reference to the organization
of a stock company for the purpose OF
encouraging sheep raising in this Sec
ton, may strike many as being rather
novel; but it is hardly new. We hap
pen to have information that the prop
osition has been discussed several
times by different progressive indiVid-
uals. Some few years ago citizens OF
the neighborhood canvassed the idea of
buying the rough country Immediately
around and including Nanny's noun
tain, and using the same as sheep
and goat ranch. Although the idea
was considered good by all who can
vassed it, it was not carried into effect.
Investigations were made a few years
ago with a view to establishing sheep
ranch on the rough lands around Kings
Mountain battle ground; but this pro-
posed undertaking fell through with
out practical steps being taken. The
promoters were deferred principally
through the fear of dogs. There
are quite q number of large tracts
of land in York county that are appar-
emily unfit for much Of anything else
except sheep raising, and it is quite
possible that some day they will be
pressed into service for the purpose.

CHANGED THE SPELLING.-In the rem
iniscences Of Maurice Moore, copied
from THE YoRKvILLE ENQUIRER, there
are some thrilling events recorded that
form part of the history Of this county
and section.
1t is observed that Mr.. Moore spells
Paris, after whom Paris mountain whs
named, with two RS. The spelling
with one has prevailed for many
years, and IS no doubt fixed.
Perhaps old man Paris ought to
have used only one r. At any rate this
is too busy an age to use two RS where
one will answer, and we shall stick to
the present spelling. It looks more
Partisan and stylish anyhow; and
Greenville is determined to be up-to-
date even in the names Of its noun

THE News and Courier, having been
criticised by it's neighbor, The Post,
for expressing it's mind on the ship
subsidy bill while the exposition ap-
preparation proposition is still pending,
prints this very appropriate quotation
in reply:
How little you think of the rightful
umbleness of a person in my station,
Master Copperfield! They taught us
all a deal of umbleneSs-nOt much else
that l know of--from morning to night.
We was to be umble to this person, and

ourselves before our betters. And we
had such a lot of betters! Father got

three pounds.
Senator Brown moved to indeflnitel!
postpone the bill, which was defeated
by a vote of Is to IL.
The Graydon amendment was theI
adopted by a vote of 16 to 10.
Senator Ilderton wanted an amend
ment inserted that the bill shall appl!
only where other pistols are carried
without just cause or excuse.
Senator Gruber, speaking on the sub
ject, said he thought the present Law
would be amply sufficient If 1t were
properly enforced. He did not believe
public sentiment in the state will en-
force q law which, in many respects
Is unreasonable. Senator Ilderton's
amendment was then killed.
Senator Gruber moved to recommit
the bill This was lost by vote of Is
to IA.
The bill, as passed, prohibits the i'm
portation or sale Of any pistols of less
length than 20 inches or less weight
than three pounds. It shall not be law
full to carry any such pistol except on
ones own premises, whether concealed
or not. Fines imposed for the violation
of the law are to go to the school fund
of the county where collected. The bill,
if it becomes an act, will go into effect
on July l, 1901.
The child labor bill came up for
third reading and Senator Sullivan Of
fered an amendment to the Mayfield
which would institute a
general compulsory educational provis-
ion ranging from to II years. He said
the provision in the original bill virtu-
ally applied compulsory education TO
factory children, which is manifestly
