about the question Of the absorption
of the races. No two people having
the same religion and speaking the
same tongue, living together, have ever
been kept apart. This. is well-knoWn

deprecate what they term the Hays

Mr.. Beamguard tried to secure the
passage Of bill to fix the time for the
payment Of taxes and do away with
the cumulative penalty system estab-
lished at the last session. The house,
however, was unwilling to accept the
bill, a majority being Of opinion that
the law passed at the last session
should remain on the statute books
at least until it has had fair trial.
The two houses went through the
form last Wednesday Of confirming
the choice of the people in the recent
primary with regard to the office of
United States senator. Mr.. A. c. Lat
inner was unanimously elected to sue
ceed Hon. John L. McLaurin.
Balloting for associate justice Of the
supreme court to succeed Associate
Justice Pope, recently elected chief
justice. was commenced on Tuesday.
The following nominations were made:
Charles A. Woods, Of Marion; w. B.
Gruber, Of Colleton; James L. Tribble.
Of Anderson; James F. Izlar, of
Orangeburg; Fitz ]. Caldwell, Of
Greenwood; Robert Aldrich, of Barn.
we'll. The balloting continued through
Tuesday until Wednesday when it
finally resulted in the selection Of Mr..
C. A. Woods, who had led from the
first His leading competitor was Mr..
Aldrich. All the other candidates
having withdrawn, the last ballot
stood Woods 81 and Aldrich, 81. Mr..
VIM. Elliott, Jr, Of Columbia, was
elected code commissioner over ]. c.
Mcclure, Of Chester, and Fred DOM
mick, Of Newberry.
The event Of Wednesday, was the
passage by the senate Of the joint res
olution looking to the submission Of
the question Of constitutional
amendment providing for biennial ses-
sions of the general assembly to the
people. The house has on previous oc-
casions passed this joint resolution by
the necessary two-thirds majority; but
the senate invariably killed it. 1t Is
now up to the house to stand by it's
former action. If it does so, the ques-
ton will probably be voted on in the
next general election.
Mr.. John ]. McMahan, who has been
superintendent of education for the
past four years, has been unanimously
elected to the position of trustee of

The house spent nearly the whole of
Thursday discussing the various bills
that had been introduced to amend
the road law and finally passed the
changes agreed upon to a second read

YORKVILLE, S. c.. nv
JANUARY 81, 1903.

THE recent shooting Of Editor Con-
zales by Colonel James H. Tillman has
brought forth surfeit Of editorial on
the evils of the pistol toting habit.
Many editors are disposed to lay the
tragedy at the door Of this crime, and
they think If the pistol were legislated
out of the pockets Of desperate, law
less men human life would be safer IN
South Carolina. All this may be true;
but really we do not see the logic OF
attaching too much blame to innocent
pistols. They can do no harm except
in the hands Of men with hearts full
of malice and revenge. A few first
class hangings, in our opinion, would
have a better effect in the accomplish
ment Of the object desired, than all
the pistol laws that could be devised
between now and doomsday.

BY WAY OF SUGGESTIONS.

a| If the memory of the people next
summer, would revert back to the
condition of the roads as they are
now, we might hope to see some good
work before another winter. But on
the road question, our people remind
US Of the story from the Arkansaw
Traveller who gave as an excuse for
not covering his house the fact that 1t
was raining, and who when asked
why he did not cover It when 1t was
not raining, replied that no roof was
required when the weather was good.
sw DR.. M. W. White is Of opinion
that the commonly entertained theory
to the effect that when a hen lays
very small egg-one Of those tiny eggs
that would hardly do credit to a par
tridge-it is sign that she is about
to go out Of the egg business. Some
weeks ago he brought to THE EN-
oUIRER office an egg that had been
laid by his pet hen-the hen that
sings-the weight of which was only
SO grains. According to the rule that
was the last egg to be expected from
that hen; but she tried again on last
Tuesday, and this time produced an
other astonishing curiosity In the
shape Of an egg that weighed 1,46O
grains. It was larger than an ordina-
ry goose egg and contained two yelks.
sa Although there have not been a
great many names signed to the petit
ton THE ENQUIRER Is publishing ask
ing for the enactment Of reasonable
dog law, from all appearances so far,
the sentiment has been one way-in
favor of the proposition. AS a mat
ter of fact, however, there are people
who think the other way on this ques-
ton. Several individuals have advised
THE ENQUIRER that they are opposed
to any legislation on the subject, and
suggested that they would like to be
heard. One gentleman reasoned this
way: II keep several dogs, feed them
and pay as much taxes on them as
care to. I don't think they bother
anybody; but If they do, they have
right to protect themselves, and be-
sides am responsible for damages. l
do not see how this extra tax Is going
to rid the country of worthless dogs.
If a dog Is inclined to run about, kill
sheep and suck eggs without collar,
he will do the same thing after the tax
is paid. And that is not all. They
say that it is the half-starved dog that
belongs to the Negro that does most
Of the damage. Maybe that Is true;
but if the Negro works for me, have
to pay taxes on that dog the same as
nv own, and he don't care whether
the amount is 81 or S.. No, sir, do
not want any more taxes If you
please. I'll sign petitions for removal
of some Of the taxes we already have;
but no petition for more taxes If
you please"
sS While discussing the case Of
Messrs. Boyce and Mcleod, the two

general interest. ITO cut yourself

the trees in the yard, and tell stories.
We have some fixed rules, one Of
which is that no vulgar anecdotes shall

The Anderson Mail referred as fol-
lows to the entertainment advertised
to appear at the opera house next
Monday night: 1.-The VIM. F. King
New York Sensational company gave
really splendid vaudeville perform
ance at the opera house last night
The principal features were the NOV
ing pictures, the slack wire and
trapeze work of Seller, and the cycle
whirl by the King brothers. The cy-
Gle whirl Is really wonderful, the whirl
last night being set at an angle Of So
degrees, only Is degrees less than per-
pendicular. It is thrilling in the ex-
treme, and must be seen to be appre-
ciated. The moving pictures were the
best ever seen on the Anderson stage.
The audience last night showed its
appreciation by depeated encores, and
they were all deserved"
Mr.. and Mrs. s. A. Pearson, who
have been conducting small bakery
and confectionery business in York.
Vile during the past three or four
years, left last Wednesday for Win
ston, N. c., taking with them their
furniture and part Of their stock Of
goods. They had been doing very well
in Yorkville up until last summer; but
since that time their business has not
been so good. To several individuals
Mr. Pearson stated that his leaving
was principally on account Of the dis
pensary. He found that the class Of
people who contributed most Of his
patronage previous to the establish
ment Of the dispensary, afterward be-
gan to buy whisky with the money
they had formerly spent for candies,
cakes, etc. Mr.. and Mrs. Pearson
were both good citizens, and there are
quite number Of people here who are
sorry to see them leave.

extended the invitation to a number
Of her older friends, to whom she
wished to give the pleasure Of meeting
Miss Elliott. The guests found the re-
ception room arranged for game of

were novel and dainty. After a de-
lightful hour, Mrs. w. B. Moore was
found to have scored the greatest

Mr.. ]. F. Wallace, pension commis-
sioner for York county, estimates that
so far he has had about 40 new pen
sion APPLICATIONS.
-Messrs. Riddle & Carroll have re-
ceived a number Of orders for new
mail boxes within the past few days.
People desiring boxes with the least
possible delay should give their orders
to the carriers on their respective
routes at once. It is probable that af-
ter the next order goes in they VIII
not be able to buy boxes on as favor
able terms as heretofore.
Next Monday is salesday for Feb
ruary. There will be no land sales by
the clerk, and only one by the sherif.
There is reason to expect quite a'num-
Of people in town from different parts
Of the county, however, on account or
the extra term Of court, and the unu-
sual amount Of personal business
which It is customary to transact at
this season.
Says the Spartanburg Herald OF
Thursday: Everyone knows Frank
Davidson and his company; they are
frequent and welcome visitors, and al
ways give a good, clean, honest enter
tainment. You run no risk in secur-
ing tickets for their appearance; they
always give value received. Their new
play, 1.-The Folks Up Willow Creek,
is an intensely interesting comedy
and its many strong characters give
ample chance for individual effort.
A good company in good play can
not fail to produce good show.
