Frederick the Great Ran Away, and

Frederick the Great Ran Away, and
Grant Was Afraid.
Some Of the greatest soldiers whose
names adorn history's pages entered
their first battles with a feeling OF fear
in their hearts.
Frederick the Great simply lost his
head at the battle of Moiwitz. Had
be not been a king 1t Is safe to say
that be would have been shot at the
next sunrise. In the heat Of the car
mage he got an idea that the army un-
der his command was being over
whelmed. so he put the spurs to his
horse and dashed headlong among his
soldiers. He rode many miles before
be stopped in bis wild flight. Late at
night he was discovered hiding in an
old mill. awaiting. as he thought. cap
ture by the enemy. Then he discover
ed that the army he deserted had won
the battle.
AS Frederick was a prince. every
body tried to forget the incident just
as quickly as possible. And after that
when the king went to war he was

General Grant I'm his memoirs tells
US that. despite the fact that he was
not new to the ways Of war, he had q
strange fear In his heart when as com
mander of the Union forces he found
himself on the eve Of his first battle
Of the civil war. He adds. however
that he came TO find that 1.-The other

In American history there is no more
reckless warrior than the dashing Light

ALMOST DROWNED.

Mr.. F. D. Hardin, accompanied by
his nephew, ]. w. Hardin, Jr., both
of the Smyrna neighborhood, had
quite a serious adventure at Rock
creek on the Adair's Ferry road, about
eight miles from Yorkville last Fri
day night, as the outcome Of which
they lost a mule, a wagon load of
goods and had close shave for their
lives.
They had come to Yorkvllle in a
two-horse wagon and were returning
with lot Of merchandise. A heavy
rain came up after they had been on
the road some little time, and the
streams were swollen from hill to hill.
1t was about 10 o'clock when the
wagon reached Rock creek. The
clouds hid the moon and 1t was pitch
dark. The little stream was high out
Of its banks and the current was hurt
ling by like a mill race; but without
much idea of the extent Of the dan
ger Messrs. Hardin drove in and at
tenn pted to cross.
The mules were soon swept off their
feet end unable to make headWay
against the current, the whole outfit
was swept down stream, distance OF
about zoo yards, the Messrs. Hardin
making every possible effort in the
meantime to guide the mules to one
bank or the other without success.
Mr.. ]. w. Hardin, Jr., managed to
swim out. Mr.. F. D. Hardin, being
unable to swim, gave his attention to
the mules. One Of them became fas-
tened in such way that he could do
nothing with It. 1t was drowned. He
succeeded, however, in cutting the 9TH
er loose, and 1t carried him to safety
on its back.
Nothing could be done towards get
ting out the wagon and contents that
night; but after securing help Messrs.
Hardin went back next morning and
recovered the wagon and part OF their
goods. Their loss, Including the value
of the drowned mule, was about 5000.

FORT MILL ELECTION.

The election that was to have been
held in Fort Mill township last Satur-
day on the question Of erecting school
districts Nos. 4, 26 and % into high
school district, did not come of as ad-
vertised; but was postponed on ac-
count Of new complications.
It seems that No. 26 has a special
tax of three mills and No. 2S has
special tax Of two mills, while No. has
no special tax at all and does not want
any. Districts Nos. 26 and % propos-
ed to No. that II 1t would vote for
the erection Of the district 1t would not
be taxed. and here came the rub.
On being asked for his opinion, Su-
perintendent of Education McMackin
said that as he saw 1t, while Nos. 26
and % might have a right to use part
Of their special taxes for high school
purposes, he thought that II No.
should become a part Of the district
that 1t would have to be taxed on an
equality with the others; that he could
not see that 1t had a right to divert a
portion Of its common school funds for
high school purposes, and on the
strength Of this opinion the matter was
held up pending further investigation
Letters have been written to Super
intendent Of Education Martin, Prof
Hand and Attorney General Lyon In
the hope Of developing more light on
the subject, and the proposed election
Is to be held In allegiance In the mean
time.

THE BIG PRIZE OFFERS.

Up to this time nobody seems to
| have started after the very liberal
prizes offered in the subscrtption-yote
getting contest recently inaugurated by
The Enquirer.
Quite a number Of subscriptions have
come In during the past few weeks
but they have come from individuals,
each ordering and paying for the pa
per on his own account for three
months. and six months, until January
| /, next.
No one has yet indicated desire to
vote. go,
The sum Of 500 in prizes is still
hanging and extending an invitation
to those who care to take ii down.
There are lots Of uses that may be
made Of any one Of the cash prizes.
There Is q jamestown trip In even the
smallest Of them. and two or more In
the largest. Then the sum OF $50, $50
or $40 is a nice thing to have just FOR
what any Of these sums might buy.
1t is not a difficult thing for almost
any lady to go to work and pick up
| S, 10, Is or 20 three months subscrlp-
tions at so cents each. and 1t Is easily
possible that Is or 20 such subscrip-
tions might carry off one Of the prizes.
This cannot be guaranteed, OF course;
but 1t Is guaranteed that II 20 three
months subscriptions, worth $1O, or
even three such subscriptions worth
s1.5O, should carry the largest number
of votes cast in the contest, then the
lady receiving those votes will get the
$50. The lady receiving the next larg-
est number of votes will get $50 and
the lady receiving the third largest
largest number Of votes Will get $2O,
even though the third largest number
of votes should be only five.
There Is nothing to prevent any one
who might desire from participating In
the contest. An energetic lady can go
in on her own account, or husband.
father, brother or friend can take the
matter up in behalf Of wife, daughter,
sister or friend. 1t is only matter OF
sending in the subscriptions and In
structing the publishers who the votes
are to be counted for-5 votes for
three months subscription; 10 votes
for a six months subscription and 25
votes for an annual subscription at
$500.
1t Is quite certain that there are only
few York county neighborhoods In
which q considerable number Of new
subscriptions are to be obtained: but
there is not single neighborhood In
which energetic canvassing will not
obtain 4 few subscriptions, and very
few subscriptions may be sufficient 10
carry off one Of the prizes.
Under the offer, those who fail 10
win prizes will be quite literally paid
for all the work they may do.

The Politics OF IL.

No matter what line of policy may
be indicated by one statesman, there
are always others to advocate some
thing like the opposite. This makes
party politics-gives the party that Is
out something to discuss-something
TO pull for.
From what Mr.. Bryan said on his
return from his recent trip around the
world, there was no room for any 9th
er conclusion than that he was resolv-
ed to use his utmost efforts to govern
ment ownership OF railroads He had
the whole scheme worked out almost
in detail and would have had it so
that the states would own the lines
within their limits and the Federal
government would own the lines that
traverse two or more states.
When a number Of leading Demo-
Gratis took issue with Mr.. Bryan on the
government ownership question. he
modified his views to the extent that
he was willing to postpone the issue
for the present; but continued to in

was dispute about the matter in MS
day, and he settled that dispute to his
own satisfaction by deciding in favor
of North Carolina. But 1t Is signifi'
cant, perhaps, that his showing was
ex parte; that although he mentioned
that there were two sides to the con-
troyersy, he recited evidence on only
one side. In his Messages and Pa
pers of the Presidents" Richardson
says that Jackson was born In North
or South Carolina. The only positive
direct testimony on the subject Is from
Jackson himself, and the Charlotte
Observer insists that this is unrelia'
BILE because the witness was too youne
at the time of the occurrence to know
what he was talking about. The OBJ
server seems to lose sight Of the fac'
that the testimony was delivered after
the witness became president Of the
United States, and was able to speak
with authority.

view to arriving at some basis for the
settlement of the difficulty. AS the
outcome of that conference; it was
agreed that France and Spain should
be charged with the duty Of policing
Morocco; but that neither should be
allowed to help itself to Moroccan
territory Casablanca was fired on
by the French recently with the idea
of restoring order, and the fighting
that followed was for the same pur-
pose. 1t proved rather more serious
than was expected, however. The
whole country has been aroused from
one end to the other. The fierce Moors,
unable to agree in politics, find no
trouble in making common cause
against all Christians, and that is what
they are doing. The country Is now
wild for war. France. however, is
unwilling to go further into the mat
ter merely for the sake of peace. She
sees that the situation can be con-
trolled only by the expenditure Of mil
lions of treasure and thousands OF
lives and she does not care to under
take such a task without having some
idea as to where her compensation Is
coming from. The situation Is more
aggravated than it has ever been and
might very easily bring about another
European snarl.
