THE Spartanburg Journal Of Wednes-
day reproduces a portion of THE En-
oUIRER Introductory to its report OF
last Saturdays campaign meeting
with the following flattering endorse
ment:
The YoRKvILLE ENQUIRER, which is
a fair and impartial, as well as an able
Journal and which is not supporting
any of the candidates for the senate,
says Of the candidates at the meeting
at Yorkville Saturday.
All this sounds very nice-so nice, in
fact, as to suggest the idea that THE
ENQUIRER should blush-if it could.
Instead Of blushing. however, it will
content itself with remembering that it
is not conscious of being any ADLER,
fair or more impartial now than when
The Journal used to call it McLaurin
organ. 1t was doing the best it could
to serve it's constituency then, earnest
ly. fairly, and intelligently, and it is
doing the best it can now to the same
end. We are not partizan as between
any Of the present candidates, for the
reason that there is involved no consid-
Grafton of principle, which makes it
our duty to be partizan. But even if we
were partizan, we would not feel war
ranted in being unfair and our report
Of the Yorkville meeting would have
been just the same.

THERE is no mistaking the fact that
Candidate Jim Tillman has been stead
lily losing votes in this county ever
since the canvass opened. In the out
set, owing to the large number of Span
ish-American veterans in this county,
and especially among the cotton mills,
he was looked upon as a possibility
for the second place. Not so now.
Hayward is clearly in the lead, and 1t
Is nip and tuck between Talbert and
Ansel for second place.-Spartanburg
Herald.
Bet you a ginger cake that the Sec
ond race is between two Of these three:
Talbert, Hayward, Tillman. Although
we do not pretend to say that 1t will
be in the order named, they will be the
three highest.

SAYS the Memphis Commercial APP
peal: James K. Jones was the one
Democratio>senator who went back on
the Democratic platform which he him
self prepared and voted for the Pana-
ma canal, and it Is curious coinci-
dence that James K. Jones is the one
Democratic senator who is to have a
place on the Panama commission" Al
so, you know James K. Jones is the
man who called McLaurin to account
for alleged departure for gain from the
position decreed by the Democratic SEN
ators on general policies.-Charleston
Post.
In this connection, 1t should be re-
membered that McLaurin was slated
time and again by his opponents for va
rious places and failed to get, or at
least take, any Of them. Let US wait
until the personnel Of the canal COM
mission is definitely announced before
coming down too hard on Mr.. Jones.

YORKVILLE, s. C.:e.'
SATURDAY, AUGUST %, 1902.

CHAIRMAN Jones is quoted as saying:
"I have decided that in my judgment
no one has q right to mark tickets ex-
cept the voter himself" Wouldn't 1t
be a glorious thing if that proposition
were made an unalterable rule and that
every precinct club would see that 1t
is enforced? AS matters now stand
throughout the state, about one-third,
or more, of the tickets voted are
scratched by others than those who
vote them. If all the voters would do
their own scratching the results would
be materially different in the future
from what they have been in the past

MIR. j. II. CAN'T Gives Out Some Inter-

From time to time, says August Kohn
in his letter of Monday to The News
and Courier, attention has been direct
ed in this correspondence to the finan-
cial condition of the state treasury, and
the necessity for sensible action along
these lines and the necessity for con-
sidering this condition. The following
note from Mr.. Jesse T. CAN'T is oppor-
tune:
I am requested by various parties to
give my authority for assertions which
l have made as to the financial condi-
tion of the state. AS the time allowed
a candidate for secretary of state, five
minutes, does not permit reference to
authorities, I am forced to adopt this
method in complying with these re-
quests.

ENROLMENT BY TOWNSHIPS.

Pursuant to the appointment made at
the recent reunion Of the York County
Regiment U. c. w., at Mt. Gallant,
about fifty Confederate veterans, rep
resenting different townships, assem-
bled in the court house last Monday for
the purpose Of perfecting the organiza-
ton necessary to secure the enrolment
of the ex-Confederate soldiers of this
county by townships.
Upon motion, Major James F. Hart
was elected chairman Of the meeting,
and Mr.. Joseph F. Wallace was elected
secretary, after which Major Hart ex-
planned the object of the meeting to be
to take steps to secure a complete en-
county who served in the war, along
with the names of all soldiers who may
have gone into the service from other
counties Of this state or other Confed-
crate states; but who may now be liv;
ing in this county. AS a means to this
end, he explained that recent act OF
the legislature had provided for the or
ganization Of central committees in
each of the counties OF the state, and
that these central committees are to
have authority to appoint township
committees that are to have especial
charge Of the work of enrolment. The
first business in order, therefore, was
the election Of the central committee.
Upon motion of Captain Iredell Jones,
the central committee was unanimously
elected as follows: Major James F.
Hart, chairman, representing the vete-
rams; Mrs. ]. J. Hunter, Of Yorkville,
representing the Daughters of the Con-
federacy, and Captain Herbert NJ. Dun
lap, of Rock Hill, representing the Sons
of Veterans.
The question Of appointing township
committees was considered, but after
some discussion, the meeting came to
the conclusion that 1t would be best to
leave this matter for the more careful
deliberation of the central committeS
There being no further business before
the meeting, on motion, it adjourned
sine die. The personnel Of the various
township committees, together with
more particular instructions as to their
duties, will be found in an official notice
published in another column.

THE COUNTY CANVASS.

The canvass Of the county by the can
didates for the various county offices
which was commenced at Barnett's
mountain, Bethel township, on August
16, winds up at Tirzah today, Saturday
All the candidates are speaking in the
most pleasant terms Of the treatmen,
they have received since the beginning
most Of them asserting that 1t has moi
been necessary to spend single cent or
account of entertainment.
The meeting at Blairsville, Monday
has already been referred to as pleas
ant affair. AS in the case Of Bethel, the
good people Of that locality had feared
that because Of the meeting being held
on Monday, the picnic feature would be
a failure; but the ladies proved equa
to the occasion and there was not only
an unusually large crowd, but plenty tc
eat. The McConnellsville meeting was
also a decided success. The crowd was
larger than at any other point except
at Piedmont Springs, and great pots OF
gumbo soup were backed up by boun-
tiful picnic dinner. The Rock Hill
meeting was held in Friedheim's hall
and was very we'll attended. At Fort
Mill the candidates spoke from the
stand in Confederate park; but the
crowd was quite small as compared
with some Of the other appointments.
There has been some complaint about
the cancelling Of the date at Yorkville
today; but this complaint has not been
general. AS a rule, the people have
been able to pretty we'll make up their
minds as to whom they will vote for
and it is not likely that any consider
able number of votes would be affected
by meeting at Yorkville.

|. THE dual state canvass, which has
been in progress since June II, came
to a close last Thursday. the senatorial
candidates winding up at Winnsboro,
and the state candidates at Columbia.
The congressional candidates were. of
course, at Winnsboro, with the senator
ial aggregation. There were no spe-
cial features to the senatorial meeting.
Latimer showed fight, attacking Mes
srs. tombstone and Evans, and they
both came back at him with vigor.
The feature of the state campaign
meeting was Jim Tillman's castigation
of Mr.. N. G. Gonzales and The State.
Jim lammed it into The State for all
he was worth and got much applause.
The Columbia crowd seemed to be d.
vided between Tillman, Hayward and
Talbert, with an even guess as to which
had the lead. There was no disaster at
the meeting, however. The candidates
got together during the day and pre-
sented Reporter Norment with a low

IT is with much interest that we are
watching the result Of the guberna-
torial campaign. especially with regard
to the vote that will be received by
Lieutenant Governor Tillman. When
we say that we are entirely Indifferent
as to who shall be the choice of the
majority. we make a plain and simple
statement of fact. We shall vote as we
see proper to vote and the choice of
the majority will be our choice. But
this in no wise detracts from our in
terest in the case Of Tillman. We are
especially interested in the fate Of this

ator, Evans will chase Hon. D. S. Hen
derson so close that it will be hard to
prophesy the result. in this county, and
Latimer will be considered third in the
race here. In the governors race we
are giving w. Jasper Talbert the popu-
lar vote, although in H6rse Creek val
ley Jim Tillman will poll nice vote.
In the towns Hayward will get some
votes. He seems to be very popular
with the "Forget-me-not" conservatives

Politics In GreenvfiIe:
At county campaign meeting held
Monday at Wilson's store, in the upper
section Of Greenville county, Carey
Styles shot and killed Walter McCarrell
and seriously wounded his younger
brother, Emmet Styles, and Ernest Nc
Carroll. Styles has been arrested. The
shooting took place about 200 yards
from where the candidates were speak
ing. Eye witnesses say that Ernest
McCarrell and Emmet Styles were en-
gagged in fight, when Carey Styles ap-
peared and began shooting-his first
bullet striking his own brother in the
leg. Styles then shot Ernest McCar-
rell in the right arm and upon the ap-
pearance Of Walter McCarrell, Styles
fired at him, the bullet producing in

whose teeth have partly lost their
sharpness. Such a beast finds it easier
to Turk in the vicinity Of settlements

cattle.
The largest, iercest and most bright
ly colored tigers are found in the prov

sometimes measures ten feet from nose
