HlCkSON ON TlLlMAN.

The last issue Of the Greenville
Journal, contains letter to the editor
from Rev. F. c. Hickson Of Gaffney,
discussing Senator. Tillman's recent
speech at that place. This letter is so
fair and generous as to be truly re-
freshing, and Is we'll worth reproduc-
tion. It redas:
Your letter asking of Tillman's
speech, just to hand. l am so busy
with crop and preaching and cam
paign, that just haven't time to hard
ly look at you. The State of Sunday
gives a pretty good outline Of his
speech. 1 don't know why they failed
to mention that l made a reply and
that was making 1t hot for him when
he had to leave for the train. l have
just written a reply to one and the
main point he made and will publish 1t
in our county papers. 1t is the opin-
ion here that he did us very little
damage. We think we will carry the
election for prohibition. Tillman
seems more provoked at the way the
dispensary is being run than at our
efforts to vote 1t out. He said If the
reports of mismanagement are true,
better kill it than let 1t go on as re-

THE PARTRIDGE SEASON.

The partridge shooting season open
ed on last Tuesday, November 1, and
many sportsmen throughout the coun-
ty, including several from Yorkvfile,
took occasion to make round among
the birds.
Although as yet there have been no
reports of even fairly good shooting,
from such information as 1t has been
practicable to gather from sportsmen,
the birds are quite plentiful, even more
so than usual. Because of the rank
vegetation, however, no good shooting
can be expected until after there has
been a killing frost.
Most Of the birds, one sportsman OBJ
serves, are quite small, and he takes 1t
that as the result Of the dry weather
that has prevailed all, summer there
have been two broods, and the prob
ability is that later on after the BIRDS
have had time to develop, and yegeta-
ton Is killed down by the frost there
will be lots Of good shooting.

DEPOSITS continue to grow In all the
banks of this locality. The deposits In
both of the Yorkville banks are far In
excess Of what they were at this time
last year. 49,. s, I. 90. =.
Next Monday is salesday for Novem-
ber and it Is probably worth. while to
remark that 1t is the first November
salesday of which are able to find any
record on which there are no foreclos-
ure sales to be made.
The wagon loads of furniture that
have been going out Of Yorkville this
fall have been q subject Of frequent
remark. We presume that the same
condition is noticeable in surrounding
markets. The significance Of the Sit
uation Is that people are in shape to
make themselves comfortable. :,
Deputy Sheriff Sandifer has been
putting in the past few days serving
the rjurymen. recently, drawn for the
approaching term Of the court. The
work has taken him over: the greater
part Of the county. He says that cot
ton is pretty we'll all picked, there be-
ing less than ten per cent In his judg-
ment, still in, the fields. The rain OF
the past few days Is general, and Mr..
Sandifer testifies that 1t. is about the
"wettest rain" he has experienced. for
quite a. while: 80. -. o..
In looking over the files Of THE EN-
oUTRER a few days ago, the reporter
ran across a note that might be or IN
terest to those who have recently be-
come cognizant Of the tin excitement
In Gaffney and Kings Mountain. The
note was printed in 1884 and tells OF
the first discovery Of tin near King 8
~
specimens sent to Boston, 1t Is stated
there were some heavy black crystals,
marked unknown" These remained
unidentified until a metalurgist, after
long delay, said they were tin, and as
sayed about rs per cent pure metal.
The note went on to say that a shaft
was being sunk on the premises or
Capt. w. T. R.. Bell. 1t would appear,
therefore that the discovery Of tin Is
not quite so recent as many have sup
posed.
Adam Chambers, a colored farmer
who works land a short distance north
of Yorkville and belonging to Mrs.
Matte Dixon, has given THE ENoUI-
RER evidence that the sweet potato
crop Is not short this year so far as
he is concerned. He brought In some
handsome specimens yesterday and re-
ported that from three Of the thirty
six rows across quarter Of an acre
he has gotten eleven bushels Of pota:--
toes He is Of opinion that he will get
at least 100 bushels off his quarter OF
an acre and possibly not less than 12O
bushels. Chambers is well known as
one Of the best negro farmers In this
locality, and 1t Is probable that from
his two-horse crop this year he Will
get eighteen or twenty bales OF cotton
and about 1870 bushels Of corn.

GERS to be voted for but the "Stalwart
Silver" men put UP their own electors.
The Peoples party, which indorsed
Mr.. Bryan in 1896 and 1900, has an ac-
tive organization in 33 Of the As states,
the nominee for state officers and elec-
tors being on the official ballot in IL
states, and for electors in 81. Efforts
to this end were made in number
Of other states, but the requisite num-
Der Of signatures to petitions were not
obtained.
The Prohibitionists have electoral
and state tickets in q states and elec-
toral tickets in IL others. II more than
in 1900.
The Socialists (called in some states
Social Democrats) have electoral and
state tickets in 80 states and electoral
tickets in IL others-seven more than
in 1900.
The Socialist Labor party has
whole or part electoral and state tick
cts in IL states and electoral tickets in
two others-six less than in 1900.
Following are the nominees for
president and vice president:
Republican President: Theodore

NEXT TUESDAYS ELECTIONS.
Six Electoral Tickets In the Field, and
27 Governors to be Elected.

Nine national political conventions
were held this year, and nine candi-
dates for president and vice presi-
dent Of the United States were nomi-
mated, but only six electoral tickets will
be generally voted for one week from
tomorrow. Besides the two great
political parties" seven others made
nominations-People' Prohibition,
Socialist, Socialist Labor, Continental
(Labor), National Liberty (negro) and
lincoln (negro). The two negro par
ties, however, apparently ended their
work when the national convention ad-
journed, as no electors have been Sc
lected, or at least none will appear on
any official ballot; and the Continental
party seems to be confined to Illinois,
and, perhaps; to Chicago, the place Of
its origin.
The terms of 80 United States SEN
ators expire March 4, next. Seven of
the vacancies have already been filled,
and the legislatures of 23 states to be
elected November s will fill the other
90. Members Of the house Of repre-
sentativeS are to- be voted for in all
except three states-Maine, Vermont
and Oregon-which have already elect
ed their congressman.
In 81 states a governor and ALL or
nearly all, the elective state oIllCeIS
are to be chosen. In five states minor
state officers are. to be selected, and
in 13 electors are to be voted for.
South Carolina enjoys the distinction
of having only one ticket in the field.
All the other states have from four to
six, IL: 1ois leading with seven. There
are three Republican tickets in Della
ware. but only one variation In the
names of the candidates, the nominee
for governor Of the regulars" refusing
TO abide by the decision Of the faction
al conference which resulted in the
withdrawal Of the Union" candidate
and an agreement upon a compromise
ticket. The Republicans in Wisconsin
will have a choice between two tick
cts for state officers, the ''Stalwarts"
having decided to keep up their fight
against LaFollete. The electors on
both tickets, however. are identical.
The Democrats and Peoples party,
or Populists, fused on the state ticket
in Kansas and Nebraska, but in both
states the Peoples party named sep
arate presidential electors. In Nevada

Southern's Bridge Over the catawba.
Rock Hill Herald, Wednesday,: A
force Of hands Is now engaged in pre-
pairing to erect a new steel bridge over
the Catawba river between Rock Hill
and Fort Mill There have been ru-
mors for a long time that the present
bridge Is very unsafe, and II has been
said the structure was condemned as
long as two years ago, but inquiry
shows this to be untrue. The bridge
Is a good one, but 1t was erected be-
fore the introduction of the great loco
motives now in use, and 1t Is conse-
quently considered. to be too light
The new bridge will be put in by the
Phoenix Bridge company, OF Phila-
delphia, and will be a much heavier
structure than that now in use. There
are already on the grounds several
hoisting engines, derricks, great guam
titles of bolts, wire rope, hemp rope
etc. The bridge now In use was erect
ed some 18 or 20 years ago, and 1t sup
planted an old structure that had been
put in after the destruction OF the
bridge by. Stoneman's cavalry in 1865
and 1t was lighter than the present
bridge. ' 80
