3g Says an Asheville dispatch Of Sep
tember to the Charlotte Observer: Il.
J. Harris returned to Asheville this af-
ternoon from New York, whittier he
had gone to take his f1ve-year-old son
to the Pasteur institute. For twenty
three days the father and son remained
at the institute; but at last the attend
ing physicians announced that the lit
tie fellows condition was beyond hu-
man skill. He had been so badly bitten
by mad dog that nothing could save
him from hydrophobia. 1t was then
that Mr.. Harris decided to bring his son
home before the end came. The jour-
ney home was terrible experience to
the father. Soon after the train left
Salisbury yesterday afternoon. the lad
was seized with convulsions so awful
that it was necessary to telegraph
ahead for physicians at almost every
station to administer opiates. Many
passengers were moved to tears of
sympathy on beholding the pathetic
sight. Tonight at the home it is neces-
sary for someone to hold the child in
bed and he frequently tears at the pill
low, as though defending himself from
an imaginary foe. He frequently calls
for water, but will never drink. Sena-
tor Pritchard, uncle Of the lad, came
here today to see the family, but left on
learning that the west-bOund passen-
ger train was delayed several hours at
Old Fort, on account of a freight
wreck. He expected to return tomor-.
row. Both the father and mother OF
the little sufferer are all but Frustrated.

YORK AND THE SOUTHERN.

Since securing possession Of the old
Three C's, the Southern railway has
projected various improvements, which
it now has under way. 1t promises to
repair and build up the degenerated
Three C's property and help materially
to build up the country along this line
During the time required to put the
railroad in better condition, proper ef-
fort is being made to exploit the re-
sources Of this section. The Southern
Field, which is the official organ Of the
Southern railway, contains in its Sep
tember number, an interesting write
up of some Of the towns along the old
Three Cs. That portion Of the write
up which relates to York county is as
follows:
The lands of York county, which also
belong to the Piedmont region, are
quite varied. In the southern part
of the county the surface is rolling and
often hilly, the soil being clay or sand
with yellow clay subsoil. These are the
best cotton lands. There are also level
or fiat lands, locally known as black
Jack land and black rocky soils with
pipe clay subsoil underlaid with hard
| whitish gravel.
In the northern part Of the county
the lands are rolling or level, In
places quite hilly, almost mountainous.
The prevailing soils are sandy, rocky,
gravelly or clay loans with red or yel-
low clay subsoil. The leading forest
growth is oak.
The more important towns are Ca
tawba Junction, Rock Hill, Tirzah,
Yorkville, Sharon, Hickory Grove,
Smyrna and Kings Creek. Near Ca
tawba Junction Is a very fine water
power on the CataWba river, before
mentioned as Lands ford.
Rock Hill Is the junction point Of this
branch with the main line of the South
ern railway between Charlotte, N. T.,
and Columbia, S. G. About six miles
distant is the power plant of the Cataw-
ba Power company, now under con-
struction, which is expected to furnlsh
cheap power to Rock Hill and neigh
boring towns.
Though incorporated as late as 1870,
Rock Hill now has a population OF
about G,0OO, and it has prospects OF more
encouraging growth in the future than
has taken place in the past. At pres
ent it's manufacturing industries in
clude five cotton mills with an aggre-
gate capital Of nearly $1,O00,0O0, one Of
the largest buggy factories in the south,
wagon factory, roller mill, three brick
plants, sash, door and blind factory,
foundry and ma achine shop, and numer-
GUS industries of lesser moment. The
city has a fine public water system,
electric lights, a prosperous bank with
capital Of 100000, a system Of street
cars, a telephone system and the vari-
Gus social and amusement facilities
usually found in cities Of larger size.
There Is one of the finest female COL
leges at Rock Hill to be found in the
south. its present enrolment being
about 700. There are handsome new
churches and many costly and beauti-
full houses. The surrounding country
has variety Of soils which are quite
fertile and adapted to the growth Of
every product that can be raised in the
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1902-09-06

THE bureau report, issued Wednes-
day, makes the average condition OF
cotton the worst that has ever been
known for September, and there has
been a noticeable stiffening Of prices
because Of it. Theodore Price, usually
the most bullish of the New York ope-
rators, is insisting on 10 cents cotton
shortly, and thinks that in view Of the
unusually short crop indicated, fur
ther advance will actually be sufficient
to check consumption. Other opera
tors are less enthusiastic; but the con-
census Of opinion seems to be that the
tendency Of prices will be upward
rather than downward.

SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS.

Death of Thomas w. Woodward.
Major Thomas w. woodward died at
his home at Rockton. Fairfield county
last Thursday, aged SO years. He was
one of the most prominent citizens OF

Mrs. Margaret Tillman Baptfsed.
The Edgefeld Chronicle states that a
protracted meeting was recently held
at Clark's Hill Baptist church by Rev
p. B. Lanham, assisted by Rev. Arthur

Fraud In Charleston.
George F. Won Kolnitz protested
against the declared result of the re-
cent senatorial primary on the ground
of fraud. He claimed that several OF
the boxes had been stuffed against him
and there were gross Irregularities 9TH
erwise. AS the result Of number OF
affidavits sustaining the protest, the
executive committee ordered recount
Won Kolnitz was sustained In all OF
his claims. The figures as originally
declared We're: Won Kolnitz, 2,149; Nc
Master, 643; Grace, LIP. According &c
the revised count, the vote stands, Won
Kolnitz, 2,23S; McMaster, 646; Grace
1.644. According to the figures origi-
nally published, Won Kolnitz lacked loS
of a majority. AS the result of the re-
vision. he lacks only 29 votes. The
question Of throwing out the boxes IN
which Irregularities were found was de-
hated: but it was finally decided to
leave the whole matter to second prl-
mary. in which new managers would
be appointed for the clubs that had been
guilty Of fraud.

Abbeville special Of September to
the Columbia State: A dispatch was re-
ceiyed here today announcing the
death of Rev. c. E. Todd at st. Joseph

ering both with additional blotches. So
far as the Democracy of the two men
is concerned, that Of one Is as good as
the other. Both are inclined to over
step the bounds prescribed by the DEM
cratic congressional committee; but
when it Is remembered that those
bounds were fixed largely from selfish
motives-to keep aspiring candidates
at home from doing original thinking
there is no harm in that. 1t Is rather
to be admired. Whatever else may be
said Of these two men, both are good
Democrats-Latimer when he wants
this section to secure some Of the ben
efits Of government-and Evans when
he is unwilling to deliver the wealth
and refinement of Cuba to the plumber
ing hand of ignorant Negroes. We be-
lieve that either one Of these men, If
elected, will do all that lies in his pow
er to benefit South Carolina, for both
realize that among the changes that
have taken place in South Carolina pol
itics. during the past few years. the
most significant development Of the
whole list Is the present requirement on
the part of the people that representa-
tives must not come back with empty
hands. We do not, as The News would
infer, tell people not to vote for either
of the candidates. 1t Is the duty Of the
voter to do the best he can as between
the two, and as there is involved neith-
er principle, character or politics,
choice is limited to the simple matter
of ability. We are unable to suggest
any other guide and we leave 1t to
each voter to determine for himself
how he shall cast his ballot.

JURISDICTION OF MAGISTRATES.

Section 33 Of Article Nv of the Con-
stitution Corrects Section Fl.
Editor Yorkville Enquirer:
In your last issue, the question Is dis
cussed as to the constitutional right of
magistrates to sentence parties con-
victed before them, to the county chain
gang. While section 81 Of article 4 of
the constitution does provide that the
Jurisdiction Of magistrates shall not
extend to cases where the punishment
exceeds a fine of one hundred dollars
or Imprisonment for thirty days" yet
section 80 of the same article specifcal-
ly provides that Circuit courts and all
courts inferior thereto and municipal
courts shall have the power, in their
discretion. to impose sentences Of labor
upon highways, streets and other public
works upon persons by them sentenced
to Imprisonment" No act Of the legis-
lature can deprive magistrates Of this
power. READER.

CONDITION OF COTTON.
Government Report Makes 1t Only
"a Per Cent.


"a Per Cent.
The monthly report of the statistic
ian of the department of agriculture. is
sued at noon Wednesday, shows the
average condition of cotton on August
26 to have been Ga, as compared with
S1.9 on July 25; TIA on August "a, 1901;
6s2 on September l, 1900, and ten-year
average Of 1871.
The present unprecedentedly low av-
erage Of condition, which is two-tenths
of a point lower than the condition on
September 1, 1896, is due mainly to the
reports from Texas and Alabama, in
both of which states the prevailing
conditions are nothing less than dis
astrous. The average for Texas Is
three points lower than at the corre-
spending date in 1895 and 1891, and Is
the lowest ever reported for that state.
In Alabama also, the crop is the poorest
ever known. Georgia reports points
below it's ten-year average, the condi-

THOSE ballot box frauds in Charles
ton are disgraceful and we are glad to
note the indignation meeting on the
subject: but until our Charleston
friends also take up the subject Of the
refusal Of grand juries to return true
bills in dispensary cases. notwithstand-
ing their sworn duty, we cannot have
much hope of seeing a reform. Grand
jury perjury is more dangerous to ouI
free institutions even than Is ballot box
stuffing.

Will PrOsecute Managers.

Charleston special of September 8 to
Greenville News: The people Of Charles
ton are stirred up as they have never
been before over the proof that fraud
was resorted to in the primary election
here last week. A mass meeting was
held tonight at which resolutions were
passed and plans made for the preven-
ton of the repetition of such an out
rage. The executive committee of the
county still has under advisement ways
and means of proceeding against the
men who were guilty of fraud. 1t is
probable that the whole matter will be
laid before Solicitor Hildebrand with
Il request that he take out warrants and
go before the grand jury to prosecute
the managers Of the fraudulent boxes.

SATURDAY, SEPT. 6, 1902.

THE Columbia State Is reproducing
from day to day all the mean things
it has printed in times past against
Mr.. Evans. The showing would be
much more interesting if The State
would include, in parallel columns, the
mean things it has said and printed
about Mr.. Latimer also.

AFTER the voters decide between
Messrs. Evans and Latimer next Tues
day, 1t is to be hoped that the press
will drop bygones as they relate to the
winner, and give him chance for
new start. Whether Evans or Latimer
be the successful man, we feel sure
that he will devote himself to the well
fare of South Carolina and try to so
shape his course as to deserve re-elec-
ton.

GOVERNOR Stone, of Pennsylvania, is
reported to be considering the advisa-

proposed extra session will cost less
than the continued maintenance Of the

when he saw Chamberlain Pain Balm

with the most terrible pains in her back

"After using the Pain Balm for a few
days my wife said to me, i feel as though

again took up her household duties. .

Congressional Election.

Tuesday, November 4th, is the date oi

in congress from this district. AS Hon.
B. G. Humphreys has no opposition, the
voters have taken little or no interest IN
the matter, aid no doubt only small
number will go to the polls. Such
apathy should not exist. A full vote
should be polled at every election, re-
