twenty-five years. Two years ago on
taking charge of the hotel he decided
that II 1t was possible to escape the an
noyance both to himself and guests
experienced at all hotels where Negro
walters are employed, he would do so,
and went to Chicago for q white wait
ress who had been thoroughly trained
in hotel work. On her arrival she was
placed in charge Of white girls raised
in and around Hickory to be trained
as mattresses. AS result Of her work
1t is safe to say that no hotel
in the south has more efficient
help in the dining room today
than has the Hickory Inn. At first
it was a difficult matter to induce the
young women of the neighborhood to
accept positions as mattresses, but
now, since the experiment has been
made there is very little trouble In
getting all the help needed. The young
women are modest, neatly and be-
comingly dressed and attractive In ap-
pearance, are attentive to every want
of the guests and prompt in filling Or
ders. The management Of the hotel Is
to be congratulated over the success
of the innovation, and 1t Is safe to pre-
dict that other hotel men in the south
will quickly follow Mr.. Montague's lead
when they are brought to realize its
numerous advantages"

WANTED THE REAL THING.-The staff
correspondent Of the Columbia State
reports from Spartanburg that "the
people of the stricken district have
been anxiously awaiting the arrival
of Gen. Chaffee with the tents and
provisions ordered by the war depart
ment," and explains Gen. Chaffee's fall
ure to arrive on the scene as due to
the difficulty Of railroad comunica-
tions The expectation Of Gen. Chaffee
Is too modest. Gen. Chaffee is only
a major general and in command OF
the department Of the east, compris-
ing the New England States, New
York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Del
aware, Maryland, the District Of Co
lumbia, West Virvinia, Virginia, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia,
Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisia-
ma, the Island of Porto Rico and the
islands and keys adjacent thereto. He
Is not the officer who will bring the
tents and supplies to Spartanburg.
That duty is with the commander In
chief, the president Of the United
States, and he has been delayed by at
tendance at the wedding of Miss Han
ma. The correspondent can look for
him now on any train coming from
the west, and should give him hand
at getting the tents and supplies out
Of his car.-Charleston Post :.

that he had no children to send to
school and that so far as he was con-
cerned, his work was more important.
Mr.. Dellinger insisted and finally be-
gan to grow violent. He abused Mr.
Harper, interferred with his plowing
and actually unhitched the mule. Mr..
Harper mounted his mule and started
toward the house. Mr.. Dellinger fol-
lowed, throwing stones at him. Ar
rived at the house, Mr.. Harper got his
pistol and started back to his plow.
He warned Mr.. Dellinger to leave him
alone; but Mr.. Dellinger paid no atten-
ton. There followed a struggle, dur
ing which Mr.. Harper shot Dellinger
several times in the breast and arms.
At least two bullets passed through Mr..
Dellinger's lungs, and in all there were
seven wounds; but 1t Is thought that
in some cases two or more wounds
were made by the same bullet.
After the shooting Mr.. Harper start
ed for Yorkville to give himself up to
the sheriff, but on the way he came
upon friends and acquaintances who
advised him that they would not do
so until Mr.. Dellinger was either dead
or it was certain that he would die.
On the strength Of this advice, Mr..
Harper went back to his home and the
friends notified the magistrate that he
was ready to surrender on moments
notice, whenever he should be wanted.
During Monday morning, Mr.. Thos.
Boyd, a brother inlaw Of the injured
man made affidavit before Magistrate
Johnson, and Mr.. Harper promptly
gave himself up to the law.
The affair Is strange and unaccount-
able, except upon the theory that Del
linger was suffering from alteration Of
the mind, and this the reporter Is ad-
vised, was no doubt a fact. A number
of his friends had been noticing for
month or more that he had been acting
strangely; but action was deferred IN
the hope that his case would not prove
serious and that he would recover.
Mr.. B. J. Currence, who saw the
shooting from distance, as stated
above, corroborates the statement of
Mr.. Harper as to what occurred except
as to what was said. This he could
not hear. He Is not certain as to how
many shots were fired; but heard sew
eral.
Mr.. Dellinger leaves a widow and
several children. Mr.. Harper also mas
a family. He is in a greatly distress
ed state of mind over the unfortunate
tragedy, not so much on his own ac-
count as upon account of the unfortu-
nate circumstances that made it seem
necessary to take the life of a fellow
man.

Now that fuller details Of the as
sassination of the king and queen or
Servia have come out, it appears that
after all there was nothing patriotic IN
the foul deed. The conspirators had
merely worked along for months max
ing the king and queen unpopular with
a. view to securing their own eleva-
ton, and the murder was really as
cowardly as such thing could be-.
There has been talk Of interference on
the part of European powers to secure
Justice: but it is hardly probable that
sucb a thing will be done. The 9TH
er powers are interested principally IN
their own ease and safety and they
will do nothing that promises danger
or inconvenience to themselves.

A MEMORIAL monument to Negro
slaves and their descendants, in recog-
milton Of valuable domestic and patrl-
otic services before and during the
Revolutionary war, the first of Its KIND
to be erected in the United States, was
dedicated here today.-Barrington, L.
l.. dispatch Of Sunday.
This information Is interesting, but
not strictly correct. The first mon
ument to Negro slaves was erected at
Fort Mill in this county a few years
ago by Capt. Samuel E. White. There
Is a difference between the two monu-
ments, it is true: but the difference
Is very slight. The first monument
was erected to commemorate the faith
fulness of slaves in the second rebel
lion and the second monument was
erected to commemorate the same
quality in the first rebellion. Both are
appropriate enough, for the slave was
equally faithful to his master on both
occasions.

HOMICIDE IN BETHEL.

o'clock Monday night as the result of
wounds inflicted last Saturday after
noon by his neighbOr, Mr.. w. A. Har-

The shooting occurred on the farm
of Mr.. Harper, and there was only one
eye witness. Mr.. B. ]. Currence, who
was several hundred yards away: but
so far there does not seem to be any
serious conflict of statements us to
what took place.
MIR. Harper's story as it comes to us
through his friends is to the effect
that Mr.. Dellinger came to his place
where he WAS plowing In the field at
about o'clock and asked him to go to
q school meeting. Mr.. Harper said
he was busy and did not care to CO.;

WILCOX MAKES THREATs.-A Gis-
patch Of Monday from Elizabeth City,
N. c., says: Jim Wilcox, twice con-
victed of the murder Of Nellie Crop
sey, left here today in charge Of Sher-
iff T. F. Winslow, Of Perquimen's
county, to begin his thirty years sem
tence in the penitentiary at Raleigh.
Previous to the arrival of the officers
at the Jail he offered to sell the jailer
a pistol, and to his amazement took
a 3S-calibre revolver from his pocket
and fired three shots, then gave 1t to
the jailer. He claims that he carried
this pistol during both trials. 1t was
fastened to his leg by his garter.
When the officers appeared he had
to be carried from the Jail by force.
He cursed and swore at them, refus-
ed to wear a neat suit Of clothes pro-
vided by his father and insisted on
wearing old trousers and worn shoes.
He said to the sheriff:
Il shall not stay at the penitentiary.
l shall be back here soon. A few en-
bers here, some houses there and a
match will make blaze. People will
know when I get back"

As to Rural Delivery.

Columbia special of June Is to the
News and Courier: Some time since 1t
was announced in a dispatch from
Washington that it was the intention
of the postoffice department to discon-
ue a great many rural routes, because
they did not pay, but were established
at the instance of congressman who
were looking after their political for
tunes. 1t was further said that South
Carolina would be among the states
which would suffer more than the rest,
the imputation being that congress-
men from this state had been very ac-
lively working in their own interests.
All rural routes in this state are more
or less under the control of the Co
lumbia postmaster, he receiving all the
funds direct from them, and he said
this morning that he had received no
instructions to discontinue any routes
i'm this state and he did not know that
any of them would be discontinued.
These routes are especially numerous
i'm the Piedmont section, and their pa
irons have been much concerned over
their contemplated discontinuance, and
many Inquiries have been received
about them. The best that POStmaS-
ter EnSor can say now is that he Of
ficially knows nothing about any con-
templated discontinuance.

WITHIN THE TOWN.

Treasurer Love advises the repor-
ter that the subscription for the relief
of the flood sufferers that was credi-
ted to the Heath Elliott Mule company
should have been credited to Mr.. j.
C. Elliott. Several small subscriptions
have been offered to THE ENQUIRER
since the last issue of the paper; but
they were not taken for the reason
that the Spartanburg committee says
positively that no more money Is
needed. The committee is at a loss to
know how to dispose Of the cash 1t
now has on hand wisely and judicious-
ly. Had it not been for this fact,
Yorkville's subscription would have no
doubt aggregated several hundred
dollars.
A number of operatives, from the
flood district, have been passing
through town in the last few days on
their way to Rock Hill and other
points. to accept positions in the mills
there. From them we learn that the
number Of deaths, was not so large as
at first reported. UP to Saturday, the
list included forty-four persons killed
at the three mills. The operatives
are leaving their ruined homes as
fast as they can get the railroads
to haul them.
The whitewashing of the shade
trees pursuant to the orders Of the
town council during the past few days,
has been a considerable source OF
amusement. People have been accept
ing the innovation In various ways.
Some were unable to see what the
council meant by wasting money In
any such way. Others were interest
ed to know whether the work was to
be carried entirely over the town-ready
to kick whether it was or was not.
Some assuming when the whitesash-
ers knocked off for dinner that they
would go no further in that direction,
complained that they never got any
thing that was going anyway" Some
blamed it altogether on the police
man, forbidding that official to cease
work forthwith. t$ad others are quite
pleased. Altogether the little innova-
ton has furnished almost as much In
terest as circus.

Tillman is innocent and should be

is guilty and should be acquitted, the
state will suffer no less. If the jury
