John G. Neely, who was convicted
sometime ago before Magistrate 8. N.
Johnson and a jury on the charge OF
obtaining money under false pretenses
in connection with the alleged United
Mutual Insurance company Of South

$50 or go to the chaingang for thirty
days, was sent out to that institution
IN Thursday to begin the service of his

Flint Hill Precinct.
There was no election at Flint Hill
precinct last Tuesday. It seems that
this precinct was established without
any special demand for it, and the peo-
ole of the vicinity are not at all agreed
upon the question Of Its necessity.
There was no club roll for the precinct
and no election. In the case Of the gen.
aral election, however, polls will have
to be opened at Flint Hill, or there will
be danger Of serious complications.
Bethel Mail Facilities. "
Miss Maggie Moore, postmaster at
Yorkville, has information that Zeno
postoffice Is to be abolished August 81:
The understanding is that the rural
route from Glover to Enquirer Is to be
put in operation on October l. Anoth-
er route from Energy, and looping
around through the Point section, Will
probably go into effect at the same
time. In the meantime, people In the
vicinity of Bethel church and through
out the section beyond Glenn & Rid
dies store, are likely to be subjected
to more or less inconvenience unless
some temporary expedient can be de-
vised for special service from York
VILE by means Of sealed pouch to be
left at some central point for the bene-
AT of the neighborhood. Miss Moore
will be glad to prepare such a pouch,
and Mr.. Miller, the rural carrier, Will
take pleasure in carrying 1t.

made to express any regret. He feels
highly honored at the vote he received
under the circumstances.
9I The defeat Of Mr.. John F. Gordon
for denomination as county supervisor
comes as a sore disappointment to the
many friends of that gentleman. That
he has been an able official and has
conducted the affairs Of the county
with business ability and intelligence,
are not matters Of opinion only. There
are abundant facts to substantiate this
view. But Mr.. Gordon is not a polite
ian. He believes too much in having
an opinion and expressing 1t whenever
he sees proper to do so. He had some
pretty hard things to say about the
road law passed by the general assem-
bly, at it's last session, and upon the
subject Of the dispensary. There are
a great many people who endorse all he
had to say on both subjects, and there
are a great many people who do not.
These utterances, although in no way
affecting Mr.. Gordon's fitness for the
position which he Is filling with so
much credit, furnished lots Of talking
material for an opposition campaign.
Then, again, Mr.. Gordon's opponents
made much capital out Of his action in
working lot Of corn on the poor house
farm with convicts for the purpose OF
feeding the chaingang. The splendid
piece Of road work between Yorkville
and Tirzah, which was so highly COM
mended by the grand jury, was also
made the subject of complaint in that
the convicts were kept upon it for too
long time, to the alleged iniustice of
other tow nships. These were the prin-
cipal talking points against Mr.. Cor
don, and they were used by large
number Of people who cared nothing as
to who should be his successor, provid-
ed he did not succeed himself. The
pusiness-like conduct Of his office and
his general efficiency as a supervisor
did not figure extensively In his favor.
His defeat, therefore, is especially re-
gretable, and there are many who
think that If the campaign had lasted
week longer, the result might have
heen very different.

Homicide In Lancaster.

John Steele killed Sam Usher at his
home near the Buford battle-ground, In
Lancaster county. last Wednesday.
There had been bad blood between the
two men for sometime on account OF
the location Of public road that had
been fixed since the war Of the Revolu-
ton. Each had made threats against
the life Of the other and both were des-
perate men. Usher was a one-armed
Confederate soldier about 65 years of
age, and a disagreeable character. He
had been hunting Steele with a gun
during the day. Steele came upon him
at his home and filled him with buck
shot. AS to whether Usher was armed
at the time he was shot, our inform
ant was unable to state.

first serious earthquake reported from
that country during American occupa-
ton of the Philippines. The most i'm
portant previous seismic disturbance
in Mindanao was the one that partly
destroyed Palak. Kota Baru and the
village on the banks Of the river Min
danao in 1872. This phenomenon close
ly followed the eruption of the volcano
of Makaturin. General Chaffee also ca
bled that the military situation in that
section remains quiet and unchanged.
No attacks have been made. on the
American forces at Camp Vickers since
the last reported, which was cabled
eight days ago.

COLUMBIA, August 29, 1 p. m.-The
News and Courier's figures, as publish
ed this morning, putting Hayward and
Ansel in the second race, were incor-
rect. The mistake occurred in the vote
of Marion county where Talbert was
credited with only ia votes when he
should have been credited with LILA.
The mistake is acknowledged, and The
News and Courier comedies that the
second race will be between Heyward
and Talbert. Hayward leads with &c.
4e2 votes and Talbert follows with lS,-

ALTHOUGH it is nothing new for THE
ENQUIRER to publish the complete re-
turns from an election during the night
following the day on which 1t was held,
the same having been done In the case
of each county election for more than
twenty-five years, we are still proud OF
our achievements along this line. So
far as we know, not another paper In
the state-not even excepting the dali
lies in Charleston, Columbia, Spartan
burg or Greenville-succeeded in giving
detailed statements Of the complete re-
turns in their respective counties as did
THE ENQUIRER in York. The labor and
expense involved when this work was
first attempted many years ago. was
much greater than now. Then there
was required a special messenger from
every precinct other than Yorkville.
After awhile the telegraph came into
service and then the telephone. This
wear, for the first time, all of the re-
turns came over the telephone directly
into THE ENQUIRER office. There were
difficulties of course, on account or
some Of the wires being overburdened;
but we feel that we owe especial thanks
to the efficient service rendered by the
telephone companies at Rock Hill and
Yorkville, and particularly for the very
material assistance that was rendered
by the young ladies at both central Of
fees. We are also under much ooliga-
ton for generous and intelligent as
sistance rendered oy special friends at
all of the different precincts in collect
ing and so promptly sending in such
correct reports.
