Brings Peace and Joy.

The beneficence of the Christmas
idea is irresistible. Creeds come and
go. Dogmas swell and burst. Sects
are born and pass away; but the
Christians gift Of Peace and Joy, Of
humanity diffused. Of social compunc-
ton embodied, is rapidly superseding
the Herodian curse Of a narrow re-
ligion, of an inhuman sectarianism
and Of a society Of prejudice caste
and hate.

Within The TOWN.

The Confederate monument fund
will, the reporter understands, receive
about $50 as the result of Broker
Poag's sale yesterday. Mr.. Poag
said he would turn over the money
as soon as the transactions of the day
were finally closed up.
Miss Gussie Beatty, a saleslady at
Thompson Cos, had a narrow escape
from serious injudy yesterday by the
fall of some shelving in the dry goods
department. The shelving gave way
with but little warning and hemmed
in by the counter, Miss Beatty was un-
able to escape. She was bruised
somewhat; but not seriously.
- Cotton has been coming in quite
freely during the past few days as
compared with some days previous.
Most of that which is being sold,
however, seems to be going on ac-
count of the holidays-money for
Christmas pleasure. A number Of
negroes have sold cotton within the
past few days.
THE people of YOrkville are very
much pleased to know that Rev. DR..
j. L. Stokes is to remain here next
year. DR.. Stokes is preacher of
more than ordinary ability, a good
citizen and a most excellent Christian
gentleman and all the people Of the
community. regardless Of denomina-
ton affiliations hold him in high
regard.

AUCTION SALE OF LOTS.

The auction sale of the lots in the
suburb Of Whisonant, so extensively
advertised Of late by Mr.. ]. Edgar
Poae, broker, "who cuts the earth to
suit your taste" took place at the
court house corner yesterday morn
ing, according to announcement, and
It was not only quite an interesting
event, but also successful.
The Whisonant suburb, as those
who have been reading Mr.. Poags
elaborate advertisements are aware
is made up of a tract in the eastern
outskirts Of Yorkville that includes 73
lots on one Of which is quite a roomy
we'll built two-story house with the
necessary outbuildings.
The terms of the sale were one-half
cash with the balance in II months
at 7 per cent If desired. Mr.. B. w.
Getsinger of Spartanburg, was the
auctioneer and he was a good one.
There were several out Of town bid
ders, who came principally for the
purpose of speculating, and these with
the local bidders who were influenced
bv the same consideration made a
fairly good market.
The lots brought from about SIS to
something over 800 each, the average
being in the neighborhood of $25. The
house brought $3.50 and the entire
property brought 81 200. less bonuses
that had been offered to induce more
liberal bidding.
Several Yorkville citizens had taken
stock in the enterprise with the un-
derstanding that the property was to
be valued at $3,500; that they were to
get their pro rata share Of all that
might be received over that sum and
that they were to make good on pro
rata basis any deficiency. Before the
sale was commenced stock was offered
to whoever might want to buy and
few additional shares were taken.
The result Of the sale was a profit of
about $14 on the hundred to the stock
holders.
A number of lots that were bought
I'm the morning for speculative pur-
poses were again offered in the court
house I'm the evening and some of
them sold at satisfactory figures. In
several cases spectators bought and
sold at a profit without being called
upon to put up any money. At the
evening sale in the court house one
lot was given away free by drawing
names from a hat 1t fell to Deputy
Sheriff F. E. Quinn.
1t would hardly be fair to say that
the result of the sale came fully up to
the expectations Of its promoters.
They had a right to believe that the
lots would bring much better prices

CIRCUIT COURT.

When THE ENQUIRER went to press
this afternoon the court was still en-
gagged on the case Of Waverly Fair
man VS.. the Seaboard Air Line rail-
road, which was commenced last Fri
day morning, and which will go to the
jury at about o'clock this afternoon.
The testimony. in this case was
about the same as at the former trial,
the battle Of the attorneys being wag-
ed principally around the physical
condition Of the trestle that gave way
under that ill-fated train, and also the
extent of the injuries sustained by the
plaintiff. The burden Of the testi-
mony submitted by the plaintiff was
in support of the theory that the
wreck was due to rotten timbers In
the trestle, while the defendant main
tanned that the timbers were sound,
and endeavored not only to show that
the wreck was probably the work OF
an incendiary; but that the plaintir
was not hurt as badly as he claimed.
Messrs. Atkinson & Born Of Atlanta,
and Mr.. G. w. S. Hart Of the Yorkville
bar, represented the plaintiff, and
Messrs. Glenn & McFadden Of Ches-
ter, and Mr.. w. B. McCaw Of York
Vile, represented the defendant. The
case was conducted with marked abil-
ity throughout.
The fifth week jurors were called
this morning and answered to their
names as follows:
]. L. Howe, ]. B. Wilkie, E. L. Bar
nett, w. D. Leslie, J. b. Craig, w. H.
Crook, n. D. Glenn, D. A. Lee. I. c.

Williams, ]. L .Ashe, ]. w. Brown, K.
A. Foster, E. P. Baker. c. D. Reid, w.
G. Hayes, R. S. Mcconnell, w. H.
Bradford.
The following jurors were reported
not found: R. E. Jackson, A. Fl. Hope,
r. H. Wherry. E. r. Maloney. ]. d.
Whitesides, W. M. Biggers were alb
sent at roll call. P. b. Kennedy was
excused.
THE ENQUIRER went to press at 2.3O
o'clock and at that hour 1t was not
practicable to learn whether the court
" ovid continue after disposing Of the
Fairman case. The other Seaboard
cases have been continued, and as to
whether or not there will be any
more business will depend on whether
the attorneys are ready with clients
witnesses, etc.
There Is plenty Of business II 1t Is
ready; but the situation Is such that
1t will not be surprising II the court
falls through this afternoon and the
fifth week jurors may go home with
out having anything to do.

is his first visit to Yorkville in two
wears and he notes numerous improve
ments.
Mr.. ]. r. Hudson Of De Queen, Ark,
writes THE ENQUIRER that he has just
been re-appointed postmaster at a sal
ary of S1,7O0. Mr.. Hudson is a former
citizen of York county and relative OF
Judge Hudson Of Bennettsville. He
left York forty years ago to marry a
Miss Cook in De Soto county, Miss,
and went from there to Arkansas. He
has been a resident Of De Queen for

Rev. Oliver Johnson, pastor of Nee

of Fairman vs.. the Seaboard Air Line
railroad. Mr.. johnson happened to go
to the memorable Whisonant trestle
wreck and noted the condition of the
timbers there. He was not subpoenaed
to the first trial; but somebody having
overheard him make some remarks as
to what he saw, told the attorneys and
they brought him to court to TESTIFY.
Mr.. Johnson had never been a witness
before and did not much relish the
idea Of being mixed up with this case;
but he of course did his duty as the
good citizen he Is.

than they did bring. 1t Is a fact that
the entire property sold at figures far
under its real value. This Is explain
able in various ways; but the most
reasonable explanation is that York
vile people have never given very
close attention to the value Of their
own real estate and comparatively
few Of them seem to have a compre-
hensive appreciation Of the real situa-
ton. The probability Is that in less
than a year from now each one OF
these lots will bring twice as much
money as 1t brought yesterday.
AS the result of the sale the Whis-
o. ant property has passed into the
hands of about 25 different holders,
and some Of them expect to begin i'm
provements without unnecessary de-
lay.

If Superintendent of Education o.
B. Martin wants to be Of real beneht
to South Carolina, we suggest that he
drop his enmity against the Citadel
Academy, the most useful educational
institution of the south, forget his uni
versity fad, and devote himself to the
development of county high schools
That is what the state needs more
than anything else-county high
schools. AS things go now, boys are
sent to Clemson and the South Caro-
lima college before they are half
through with their common county or
graded schools, and continue their pre-
paratory courses at those higher in
stitutions-higher in name-under the
idea that they are really going to
college. when as a matter OF fact they
would be doing much better in some
high grade academy. We have seen 1t
stated that one-third of the pupils at
Clemson are in the preparatory depart
ment, and that really means that they
had better be at a good high school II
one were available. 1t is the same
way to a large extent with the South
Carolina college. Both of these tnst-
tutions are doing too much prepara-
tory work-work that could be done
better and more satisfactorily elsewhere,
If our educational system were devel-
oped along proper lines. 1t is difficult
to imagine anything that we need less
than a university just now. We can
much better afford to let our students
who require post graduate courses go
to other institutions already establish
ed a~d doing the right kind of work
We can get along for twenty years yet
without feeling the need of univer-
sity, and we will not feel such a need
very strongly even then unless in the
meantime we do much more than we
have ever done before in developing a
firSt-class system of county high
schools. The county high schools de-
veloped to a proper degree of efticien-
cy will, after while, make the uni
versity a necessity.

THAT was a horrible affair over at
Gaffney last Friday, and it is not sur
prising that the whole country Is IN
dignant and outraged at the hideous
details as they have been published in
the papers. But will there be hang
ing? We have no idea Of such thing.
When the time comes for trial, 1t will
probably be made to appear that the
man who did the killing was really in
veigled into the matter by the women
and that the deaths Of the slain men
were brought on as the result Of jeal-
ousy. Either that or some other
correction no less effective. There
will be no hanging in the matter; but
there should be.
