WITHIN THE TOWN.

- The foundation of the Carolina and
North Western depot building is being
raised several feet in order to meet the
requirements of the standard gauge
track to be completed soon.
AHThe directors Of the York Cotton
Mills held their regular monthly meet
ing in the office Of w. w. Lewis, Esq,
president, last Wednesday. There was
no business Of especial concern to the
outside public.
q Alderman ]. P. White, chairman OF
the street committee Of the town coun-
ell, is trying to get rid Of the mud that
is so troublesome to pedestrians IN
crossing the streets. His idea 1s to
have the mud scraped from the surface
of Main street and If it is found that
this expedient will not suffice, he will
have raised walkways laid across the
street at different places.
One day last October Mr.. ]. r. Co.
mer, who lives out at the York Cotton
Mill, lost his pocketbook containing
SIS. He is satisfied that he left 1t on
the counter in J. M. Starr & Co.'s drug
store. Diligent search was made for
the lost money, but 1t was not found.
Recently Policeman Whitener, who had
been advised as to the loss, learned
that Will Parker, Negro boy about II
or Is years of age, employed as "shoe
shine" at Howe's barbershop, had been
spending money with a lavish hand,
having invested as much as SO at one
store in town and liberal sums at 9TH
ers. Parker was questioned as to
where he got the money and his an
swers were not satisfactory to the Of
flcer, and the Negro was arrested as
the thief, and taken before Acting
Mayor White in the hope that he could
be convicted on circumstantial evil
dence. Parker blocked the scheme so
far as unraveling the mystery as to
what became Of Mr.. Comer's money
was concerned, by stating that he won
the cash he had been strewing around
by gambling. Mr.. White thereupon
fined him $40 or thirty days for gamb-
ling, ard $3.50 or ten days for fighting,
with which offense he was also charged
and convicted It Is probable that the
fine will be paid.
The minstrels of the K. M. M. A.
gave a very creditable and enjoyable
performance in the opera house last
Thursday night to good house.
Nearly all the jokes were new and
there were several changes in the line
up, occasioned by the absence of Mr..
Frank Gray, who Is not back for the
second half-session. Captain Schneid-
er took his place on the end, while
Captain Wolff moved up to the inter-
locutors chair. The first part, as a
whole, struck the audience as emf
nently satisfactory. There were also
new features among the specialties.
"Mary's Little Lamb" was repeated
and was much better thar before. The
dialogues between Cadets Beale and
Boschetti were encored. These little
fellows are great favorites with the
Yorkville people. A Spanish love song,
with guitar accompaniment, by Cadet
Ramirez, was also encored. This was
sung in the original. Certainly the
cleverest speciality was the dialogue
and duet, Don't Get Weary" given byt

Captain Lewis M. Grist, one Of the
nestors of South Carolina newspaper
service, and the longtime editor and
proprietor of THE YoRKvILLE ENoU1-
RER, died at his Yorkville home on last
Thursday, January 18th, Of apoplexy.
Captain Grist has been a printer for
more than sixty years and neWspa-
per proprietor for more than fifty
years. He was a man Of the highest
integrity and devotion to business. 1t
is no disparagement to other excellent
county weeklies to say that Captain
Grist and his sons made out Of THE
ENQUIRER probably the neatest, bright
est, most model paper Of its class which
has been published in South Carolina.
Captain Grst was preceded into the
beyond by his devoted wife, Francis v.
Grist, less than a year ago. Mrs. Grist
was a woman Of unusually strong
character, and was possessed Of the
sweetest Christian spirit. She did more
than any one person toward the pres
ent prosperity of the Yorkville Baptists.
Seven children are left, six Of whom
are sons Each Of these sons is prac-
tical and expert printer. The passing
Of Captain Grist is worthy of special
notice among the newspaper fraternity

WHERE THE PROFIT:

The Gonxales-Tillman Tragedy Com
prehensively Analysed.
Editor Gonzales is dead. Tillman's
bullet has done the work for which 1t
was moulded. The slayer is in jail.
His victim has gone into eternity.
Two homes are in ruins. One wife has
been widowed. The other-worse than
widowed.
And all for what? Politics! Differ
ences of opinion that grew into fac
tional animosity; political madness
that knew no reason; bitter PERSONAL
ties-revenge!
Has the game been worth the can
die? Has either side anything to exult
over?
In this sad hour, when the animosity
Of these two men Is hushed in the pres
ence Of death; when their differences
are silenced by the wall of the widow
and orphans, how petty seems their
quarrel and how unnecessary the deed
that brought on all this misery and de-
spair.
Could either Of them in their calmer
moments, unaffected by the consum-
ing, malignant fever Of politics, have
willed it so? Might not each have said
the world Is wide enough for both?
Did they not owe 1t to their families
and to society to stifle their unreason-
ing, virulent rage before it consumed
them both?
And what is the end Of it all? One
party to this conflict has been sudden
ly cut off-shot down unawares by the
man whom he hated and who hated
him. He, at least, is now beyond hu-
man judgment. Those loved ones
whom he left behind have the satis-
faction Of knowing that he died brave
ly and that others besides themselves
loved him. His life-work itself, he left
but half finished.
The other party to the conflict still
lives-if that be any satisfaction to
him or to those who loved him. He
has succeeded in depriving a fellow
creature of its existence. But in doing
so he has not wiped away, but rather
added to whatever burden Of reproach
may have been his. Soon he, too, will
be mouldering in the dust.
Then only the memory Of these two
men will live on. What, we ask again,
has either gained by the conflict?-At-

Brief Synopsis of the More Import
ant Proceedings of the House and
Senate. O.:
Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
COLUMBIA, S. c., January 22.-Al-
though the general assembly convened
eight days ago, owing to the fact that
both house and senate had to be re-
organized, and there was little for eth
er body to do until they had some
committee reports, there Is not yet
great deal to tell Of the proceedings.
In the speakership contest all Of the
York members supported MIR. T. Y.
Williams, because they have known
him long and considered him an able
and efficient man for the place. They
have no objection to Mr.. M. L. Smith,
the new speaker, however. He Is fully
qualified and can be depended upon
to discharge the duties Of his position
fairly and impartially.
There has been a regular flood of new
bills thus far, and the expectation is
that there will be a lot of hard work
done during the present session.
Among the measures introduced by
York members, Is bill by Mr.. Halle
to make the communication road tax ~
instead Of 81, and to require eight days
work instead Of two. Mr.. Beamguard
has offered a joint resolution looking
to the submission to the people the
question of a constitutional amendment
providing for biennial sessions Of the
general assembly.
The committee assignments of the
York members Of the house are as
follows: Mr.. Barron on medical affairs
and public buildings; Mr.. Halle on
agriculture and manufactures; Mr..
Mccain on accounts and mines and
mining; Mr.. Beamguard on ways and
means, and State Hospital for the In
sane.
In joint session on Tuesday, Hon. Y.
J. Pope, associate justice Of the SUI
preme court, was unanimously elected to
succeed Chief Justice McIver. Captain
J. D. Griffith was reelected as super
intendent of the penitentiary and
Messrs. John G. Mobley, A. K. Saun-
ders and M. o. Rowland were re-elec-
ted members Of the board of peniten-
tiary directors. The election Of a sue
cessor to Hon. Y. J. Pope as associate
justice will probably not take place un-
til next week. There are quite a
number Of candidates for this place.
They include, Mr.. Joseph A. McCul-
Tough, of Greenville; Mr.. Joseph AL
drich, Of Barnwell; Col. ]. L. Trib-
BILE, of Anderson; Mr.. Stobo Simpson,
of Spartanburg, and Hon. G. Duncan
Bellinger, Of Barnwell. There is no
predicting who will win the prize.
The inauguration took place yester-
day. 1t was quite an interesting occa-
sion and everybody was very much
pleased with Governor Heywards in
augural address. There is a feeling
that the legislative department and
the executive department are going to
work in pretty close harmony.
There was but little legislative work
accomplished in either house yester-
day, the Inauguration and other mat
ters taking up the time and attention
of the lawmakers.

PLEDGED OVER THE BIER.
A Striking Tribute to the Dead Ed
itOr by His Brother.


From the Columbia State.
The knightly soul Of the brave man,
loyal friend and devoted brother whose
name has graced these columns since
the birth Of the State, twelve years
ago, has crossed the river and the
paths his willing feet have trod shall
know him no more. But along their
ways, from the seed he sowed, flowers
are blooming and the air he loved to
breathe, the air of his native state, Is
sweet with the incense of his noble
words and deeds.
To die for his state. even by the
loathly hand that struck him down,
was sweet to him. During the four
days of mortal agony that followed his
cruel wounding no words save those
of love and sympathy for his bereaved
kindred passed his lips. He died with
his face to God, gentleman unafraid.
With heavy hearts his work Is taken
up by those who loved him well, and
in his name the State is pledged anew
to the principles for which he gave his
life. AMBROSE T.. GONZALES.

1t is with profound sorrow that we
note the death of Captain Lewis M.
Grist, which occurred at his home in
Yorkville last Thursday morning at the
age of Il. He was one of the proprie-
tors Of THE YoRKvILLE ENQUIRER, one
of the best weekly papers in South
Carolina, and the high toned, honest
and honorable principles Of his worthy
paper are the result Of the constant
watchfulness and careful guiding Of his
steady hand. Captain Grist was val
liant soldier in the Confederate service,
and bore the scars Of battle from the
field Of Manassas, after which time he
was incapacitated for active service on
the field, and remained in the conscript
service until the close Of the war. In
the death Of Captain Grist an honest
and honorable man has been called to
his reward, and the state has lost one
Of her most upright citizens.

first taken out Of the ground. He pro-
poses to let them remain through the

mers, If entirely successful, ought to be
of great value to the people Of this
whole section.

Gaffney Ledger, January 20.
A landmark of South Carolina jour-
nalism was removed last Thursday
when Mr.. Lewis M. Grist, for many
years the editor and proprietor Of THE
YoRKv1LLE ENQUIRER, was called to
the sanctum sanctorium Of the great
beyond. Mr.. Grist earned the dinstinc-
tion of printing the neatest semi-week-
ly paper, geographically, issued in the
United States. To Ledger man he
once remarked: What is worth doing
is worth doing WELL" and he lived up
to the motto. He has so impressed
this fact upon his sons. who are to be
his successors, that the paper will
doubtless continue to be model piece
Of printing. Our sympathies go out to
Mr.. Crisis family in their bereave-
ment.

last definite news was to the effect that
a battle was in progress as the dispatch
was being sent. The war vessels were
pounding the fort with all the energy
they could command, and the fort was
replying with courage and spirit. There
was much excitement throughout Ven
ezuela on account Of what seems to be
a virtual renewal of a trouble that was
thought tc have been settled.

Abbeville Press and Banner, Jan. 81.
Lewis M. Grist, editor Of THE YORK
VILE ENQUIRER, died last Thursday
morning after a sickness Of several
days. He was one of the oldest as we'll
as one of the most honorable editors In
the state. He loved the newspaper
business and he delighted in the work
of printing. AS result he made mon
ey, and had one Of the best printing
offices in the state, and printed the
incest paper in the country. Person
ally, the editor of the Press and Ban
ner had the highest regard for him as
a man and as friend, and we are
truly sorry to hear Of his death.

It is difficult to write concerning one
who was an intimate friend for many
years without extolling his virtues be-
yond proper limits, so far as the public
Is interested, but there are men In this
land of ours about whom 1t might still
be said "the world is not worthy" and
and such q man was Lewis Mason
Grist, the chief owner Of THE YORK
WILLIE ENQUIRER, whose death occurred
last week after he had filled the meas
ure of three score and ten years with
patient, earnest, faithful labors in the
interest Of mankind and in the fear of
God. Captain Grist was not only
friend Of long standing, but in our
younger days he was a valued counsel
lor and a worthy exemplar in car own
line Of work. Seldom did we meet with
him in those days that his thoughts
and experience were not beneficial and
helpful in our endeavor 10 serve the
public as the manager Of 8. newspaper,
and with the coming Of ripper years we
learned more and more to appreciate
his exalted purposes and honorable
conduct. His name has been identt-
fed for nearly half century with THE
YoRKvILLE ENQUIRER, ore Of the most
conservative newspapers in the land,
clean and upright beyond criticism In
it's contents and wholly unobjectiopa-
BILE as family newspaper. 1T was his
meat and drink to make THE ENQUIRER
a wholesome and acceptable visitor to
the homes Of the people, taking within
their sacred precincts only the pure
and the exalted. His methods Of bus
mess and fair dealing with men of all
cla sses were recognized as far above
the average in consistency and con-
stancy, and he was hcnored in the
community where he had lived from
his childhood as the faithful citizen,
the veteran soldier, the venerable edi-
tor and the humble Christian. What a
legacy of righteous character he has
left to.his loving and devoted children,
and what a benediction his life has
been to the people Of York county.

to say something further. But COM
panion pulled her back and Immediate
ly after she left the gallery.
An English drill sergeant in the
service Of the sultan Of Morocco, has
given the following interesting details
of the composition of the sultan's
army. He says the imperial forces to-
tai about $4,000 men including sheriff
and body guard Of 1000 picked men, all
of whom are armed with Martini-Hen-
ry rifles. According to the sergeant it
is almost impossible to train the ma
tives to handle artillery, as they believe
cannon to be the invention of the devil.
The gunners spend much time in pray
er between the firing of each round,
while many Of the natives refuse alto
gether to serve the guns. ThesSrill ser
geant who served through the trouble
with the army, does not consider the
sultans situation to be desperate.
The allied powers engaged in the
work of bulldozing Venezuela are not
behaving themselves as they should,
while peace negotiations are in prog
ress. There has all along been Vene-
zuelan gunboat, the Miranda, in Lake
Maricaibo. The entrance to the lake
is defended by the fortress Of San
Carlos. The Germans were very much
taunted at the idea that the VeneZuelans
should have this boat. and they were
anxious to get it. So one day last
week, the Panther was sent to attack
the fort. She approached and opened
fire. The Venezuelans returned the fire
promptly and made it so hot that the
Panther had to run away. A day or
two afterward several vessels of the al
lied fleet renewed the attack, and the

Rotating The Crops.

1t will be well for the farmer to
have his mind often dwell on the
subject of the rotation of crops.
The thinking precedes and pro-
duces the practice. Suggestions
relating to this feature of all the
good farming of today are in order.
1t ought to be kept in mind as
correct in practice for crops that
are shallow In their system OF
roofing to follow those which root
deeply. This is, as the occasion
demands, to be reversed, of course.
Then, crops that consume and
crops that produce humus ought
to come one after the other, or &C.
casionally they may be grown to-
gether with advantage.
A ruling idea in rotation Of
crops is to plant SO that the fer
tilizing material left by the crop
preceding is in the very best con-
dition for the one succeeding.
And the weak crop, If it is a de-
sirable one, is entitled to be in the
rotation when the fertilizing ele
ments in the soil are in the most
available form.
A way of putting this case is IL
the remark that "crops of dissimi
lar feeding habit follow eacl
other"

Strong Testimony.

Three persons who have bought
watches here lately said they
found our prices to be less than
those of dealers at other places,
and that is why they made the
purchases here. Our watch prices
have always been down to the
lowest notch. Recently an order
was sent us from Alabama for a
watch; another came from a point
265 miles distant. Watches are
our "leaders". We now have a
larger stock and greater variety
than ever before. AT small profits
the stock must be "turned" often.
