DEATH OF MRS. l.. NJ. GRIST.

Mrs Frances v. Grist, wife Of Capt
L. M. Grist, died at her home in York
VILE, last Friday evening at 6.35 O'Clock
and was buried in the Yorkville ceme-
terry at o'clock Saturday afternoon
Her death was due to a malignant dis
ease known as cancer Of the bowels
and was preceded by many months OF
physical suffering.
Mrs. Grist was born in the southern
portion of Spartanburg county on June
l, 1888, and was a daughter Of the late
Obadiah Wise, of that county. She be-
came a member of Friendship Baptist
church in the same neighborhood In
which she was born, on Christmas day
1885, and was married to her husband
at Oxford, Ala, on July 2. 1854.
AS the result Of her marriage Mrs.
Grist became the mother Of eleven chill
dren-seven sons and four daughters
born in the following order: Willis Mil
Ter, Hannah Elizabeth, Mary Helen,
Samuel Melton, Lewis George, Wood
Davidson, Martha Frances, Oliver Ell
lis, Jessie, Albert Mason, Reginald Mar
shall. or these, Willis Miller, the eld-
est. died in infancy; Helen died Of diph-
iberia during the war; Hannah Eliza
beth (Mrs. r. B. Riddle) died in 1899.
and Martha Frances (Mrs. R. L. Grier)
died in 1893. The other children sur
vive.
The history Of Mrs. CRISIS life is
summed up in a single principle -devo-
ton to duty. Her first allegiance was
to her God and Redeemer, Jesus Christ.
Then came her husband and children.
Her conceptions Of duty were derived
entirely from the Scriptures, Of which
she was an earnest reader from the
time she could first spell the words; her
faith was absolute and although she
was called upon to endure many trials
and tribulations, she was never known
to complain. Whether her lot was Joy
or sorrow, she took it as the pleasure of
God, and through all the terrible suf-
fering that accompanied her passage
into the great beyond, there was no ev-
idence Of any feeling Of hesitation or
doubt. Just as she lived, she died-a
Christian.
The funeral services Of Mrs. Grist
We're conducted in accordance with
written instructions found in her Bible.
The body was taken direct from the
house to the cemetery, and what was
said was said at the grave by Rev. w.
E. Hurt, pastor Of the Yorkville Baptist
church. Quite large number Of rela-
tives, friends and acquaintances Of the
family were present at the funeral.

and that we must not govern the Phil
ippines, notwithstanding the fact that
we are absolutely compelled to govern
them, THE ENQUIRER is unable to make
a choice. We decline to be told what
we shall think; we are too democratic;
we have too much love and veneration
for the declaration Of independence.
People used to think the earth was fiat;
now they know it is round. When free
coinage was first incorporated In the
Democratic platform, we thought it
was right. Now we know it was a mis-
take, and we are willing to admit that
the men whom we considered fools were
right. We are real glad that we are
able to learn as we grow older and get
more facts. OF course, we know that
every one Of these senatorial candidates
understand, as well as we do, that free
coinage Is a back number-an exploded
falacy: but we want them to come out
like men and say so. If they are with
out this much political courage they
are unfit for representative office. II
they will allow their honest convictions
stifled on a question like this for the
sake Of election, they will stifie their
convictions on other questions to re-
main in office. OF course we recognize
that some of the men who are before
the people are better than others, and
when it comes to casting his ballot, this
writer will endeavor to choose the best
of the lot but as newspaper, The EN-
ou1RER is unable to discriminate be-
tween them. There is no difference In
the politics of these candidates, and,
therefore, no just ground for discrimi-
nation. AS to our being alarmed at
the prospect Of Mr.. John Gary Evans"
we beg to inform The Journal that 1t
IS mistaken. AS ought to be understood
from the foregoing, we are entirely rec
onciled. Except that ne has good
grounds to claim that he has been con-
sistent from the first, and has not
changed for the sake Of office, there Is
very little difference between Mr.. Evans
and the other candidates. They are all
in the same boat, and although we
would rather have seen 1t so they
would have had to explain and expound
their respective views, whichever or
the lot is chosen, the result Will be per-
fectly agreeable to The ENQUIRER
Just as agreeable as If it had been
some one Of the others.

THE house has agreed to the item In
the urgent deficiency bill providing for
an appropriation of $160,0OO for the re-
lief of the Charleston exposition. Ser-
ator Tillman got the item through the
senate, and Latimer and Elliott being
off campaigning when it came UP IN
the house Monday, it devolved upon
Mr.. Finley to defend the appropriation
The item was coupled with the $5OO,0oO
gratuity to Buffalo, and notwithstand-
ing this fact, Mr.. Finley had a hard
fight. AT first the house struck Charles
ton out and allowed Buffalo to remain
Mr.. Finley plead the justice Of his
cause earnestly. The senate refused to
concur in the striking out of the
Charleston appropriation, and when
the matter got back to the house, Mr..
Finley renewed his suit with such eff
fectiveness as to overcome opposition.
1t was a great victory, one of which
any South Carolina representative
would have a right to be proud.

upon President John l.. Weber, Of the

WITH convenient, not to say ludi-
crous, blindness to the real purport OF
the paragraph that was directed to it in
the last issue Of THE ENQUIRER, the
Spartanburg Journal describes this pa
per as being alarmed at the prospect
of the election of John Gary Evans to
the U. S. senate" 1t goes on to say:
I'VE do not know whom THE ENQUIRER
is now supporting for the senate, since
McLaurin lay down. but whoever 1T Is,
had best arrange with THE ENQUIRER
to keep quiet on the subject, as an out
spoken endorsement Of any candidate
by that newspaper would bring his de-
mocracy under grave suspicion We
do not remember to have said or done
anything to deserve either one Of these
jolts; but since The Journal has been
liberal enough to say that I've had
never supposed, however, that THE En-
oUIRER was subsidized" we will go on
to make a few remarks: In the first
place, THE ENQUIRER does not consider,
as it is to be inferred that The Journal
does, that it is essential to existence to
support any candidate, and we are not
supporting any. If The Journal is able
appreciate the distinction, we will
say that we have never supported
a candidate. We have always admired
broad, liberal, patriotic craftsmanship,
and have never failed to give our SYM
pathy to any public man who has
shown a willingness to risk his political
scalp in the furtherance of sensible,
honest convictions. We have been dis
appointed more than once, in such mat
ters, especially as to men who seemed
to be made of the right stuff; but we
have not yet had occasion to reproach
ourselves as to our intentions or to feel
very keenly the reproaches of others.
So long as a newspaper, or an individ-
ual is conscious Of correctness as to
principles, there is no need for undue
because others are unable
to see given proposition in the same
light. But that is not the point. We
have no candidate now, and we do not
think there is a reasonable probability
that we will have one. When the va
rious candidates now in the race said
they still believed in the free coinage of
silver. Notwithstanding the removal of
that issue by means of natural death,

THE statement accredited to Mr..
Evans that DR.. Stokes caused charges
against Mr.. Latimer to be published in
THE YoRKvILLE ENQUIRER is incorrect.
That is, it is technically incorrect. The
charges referred to were written in a
private and personal letter to member
of THE ENQUIRER staff, and it was not
the intention Of DR.. Stokes to have
them published. The responsibility for
publication rests with the party to
whom the letters were written. AS to
whether the error was made by Mr..
Evans or the reporter, is a matter of
speculation; but of no material import
ance. 1t is very well, however, that
there should be no unnecessary confu-
sion Of the record. AS to whether DR..
Stokes contemplated being a candidate
for the senate at the time the letters
were written, as stated by Mr.. Latimer,
we have no information. The same
member of THE ENQUIRER staff who
caused these letters to be published has
several other personal letters from DR..
Stokes, and there is no mention of his
prospective candidacy for the senate in
any of them.

| The matter of the cost Of newspaper
advertising that the chairman Of the
up for discussion. Chairman Brice
| made the committee acquainted with
the various items Of expense that were
necessary in the conduct Of campaign,
and called attention to the fact that
with the increase Of the number Of
newspapers this expense has reached
proportions that require retrenchment
He stated also that certain candidates
had suggested to him that the execu-
tive committee try to arrange a plan
whereby that body might make an
nouncements in the various newspapers
at wholesale rates, thus securing a re-
duced cost to the individual candidates.
The whole subject was discussed at
considerable length. The idea of letting
out advertising to the lowest bidder
was broached and dismissed as imprac-
ticable, and no definite plan having
been suggested by anybody, it was fl
nally decided to leave the whole matter
to a committee consisting Of the county
chairman and two members to be ap-
pointed by him with the general under
standing that they secure the pest re-
suits possible at the lowest cost. Chair
man Brice appointed as his colleagues
in the proposed committee w. b. Smith
and w. Thompson Jackson.
In view Of the fact that no funds are
provided for their entertainment 1t was
decided that the committee will not go
to the trouble to provide stands for the
use of the state and senatorial candi-
dates; but that both parties will use the
court house for their respective meet
ings.
All the pending business having been
transacted, the committee adjourned
subject to the call of the chairman.
Except in the event of some unforeseen
emergency, 1t Is not likely that there
will be another meeting of the commit
tee until after the primary election.
