In this city services were conducted

of the churches the sacrament of the
Lords Supper was observed.
Delegates from the executive com
mittee visited every Sunday school;
there were missionary rallies for boys
and girls during the afternoon, and in
the evening meetings in more than 100
churches were addressed by foreign
missionaries fresh from the field.
The work began with sunrise
prayer meeting at hotel, at which the
Rev. S. D. Zweimer, for many years a
missionary in Arabia, presided, and
prayers were made for the Moslem
world.
All the services were strictly inter-
national, as well as INSTRUMENTATION.
Practically every Protestant denomina-
ton was represented, and it was estim-
ated that folk of 81 nationalities were
gathered.
Some of the foreign workers who
spoke at meetings were Professor Al

COUNTY COW SHOW.

A county COW show to be held in
Yorkville the latter part of March or
during the early part of April, is one
of the latest ideas of the management
of the Yorkville Creamery association.
There has been nothing of the kind
in this county, and so far as the En-
quirer has information there has never
been an exclusive COW show in the
state; but COW shows are quite COM
mon in the dairy sections Of the north
and northwest, and there is no reason
why one should not be held here with
both interest and profit.
Although not ranking as a dairy
country, the people throughout this
and management of COWS, and it is a
fact also that there are a great many
farmers who own really fine bred ami
mails that would attract attention in
any COW show anywhere.
1t is Mr.. Bun Bridges, manager Of
the creamery, who proposes the show.
He has not settled on full details yet; {;
he thinks he can get the cooperation
of local people and others interested in
raising the money necessary for Suita-
BILE prizes, by means of private sub
scriptions and otherwise, and he be-
lieves that there can be brought to-
gether in Yorkville COWS of merit and
quality sufficient to make a good show.
1t will he necessary as prerequis-
ite to entrance, says Mr.. Bridges, for
the owners of the animals to be eXhi-
bited to have record of cost of feed
care etc, extending over a period of
thirty days or more to put against the
production of milk and butter during
that period. These things, of course,
will count first in determining the rel
ative superiority of the animals; but
in addition there will he taken into
age, breeding, and other
points of Importance.

HOMICIDE AT LOckHART.

Curtis Ammons, a white man was
arrested at Sharon Sunday night and
brought to Yorkville, where he was
committed to Jail pending the arrival
of the sheriff of Union county, or a
deputy to take him back to Union,
where he Is wanted on the charge of
murder.
Ammons, who was an operative in
the Lockhart cotton mill, killed Claude
Fowler, a fireman on the Lockhart
branch of the Southern railroad at
Lockhart last Sunday afternoon, and
shortly afterward started in a buggy
for Sharon, where he was evidently ex-
pecting to take the first train passing
that way. He arrived a little too late
for the passenger train that went east
Sunday night, and putting up at
boarding house went to bed. The
Sharon authorities having learned OF
the homicide through a telephone mes
sage, and knowing the presence OF
Ammons in town, went to the boarding
house, took him in charge and brought
him to Yorkville.
Ammons has had very little to say
about the killing. What he did say
was to the effect that Fowler had been
following him for some time, and final
ly drove him into a corner where "he
was beating me with a pair of brass
knucks. I decided to try to do him
one" he said, "and reckon I done It,"
The killing was done with a pistol
Ammons Is about 26 years Of age, and
weighs about 1876 pounds. Fowler was
about 90 years Of age, and unmarried.
Ammons Is also unmarried.

they had fully made up their minds.
Mr.. Walker said he and Miss Jordan
had been sweethearts for two years
and were determined to be married"
In asking for the annullment Mr.. Walk
er said that on August 20, and the day
preceding, he and other young men had
been drinking to excess at the Salla
hotel in Greenville. He was drunk that
evening and while in that condition
went to Spartanburg, arriving about 9
o'clock. He entered hack at the sta
tion, bought pint Of whisky from the
hackman and took a big drink, "and
soon became oblivious to all transpir-
ing events and unconscious Of what he
was doing" He has learned that some
time during the night he went or was
carried to Miss Jordan's home and that
about o'clock of the same night he
and Miss Jordan went to Rev. Mr..
Whitesides house and were married.
He remained unconscious, he said, un-
til the next morning when he found
himself in a room at the Argyle with
Miss Jordan. She toio him they had
been married. He at once left the ho-
tel, he said, and returned to Greenville,
and has not seen Miss Jordan since,
nor written her, nor received letter
from her. Mr.. Walker Is % years old
and Miss Jordan 81. She Is the daugh-
ter Of Charles A. Jordan, carpenter
Of No. 1877 Allen street, and recently, 1t
Is said, has been employed by the Geer
Drug company. Mr.. Whitesides. in
talking of the ceremony, mentioned
that Mr. Walker told him he had no
money. The minister replied that he
would not hesitate to perform the GER
emony on that account. but wished to
he certain that the couple were sin
cere in their desire to be married.
They earnestly replied that they were.
"As they were both Of age and there
was no seeming objection" said Mr..
Whitesides. 'T married them" He add
ed that the ceremony occurred about
II o'clock at night. Mr.. Walker Is a
native Of Greenville and has spent
most Of his life there, but worked in
Spartanburg for a while. His attorney
in the action was B. NJ. Shuman Of
Greenville. Judge Sease directed Mr..
Walker to pay the costs Of the case.

amount of the verdict was $3.50 as
stated.
In the case Of C. H. Branson VS.. the
Fort Mill Manufacturing company, the
jury found for the plaintiff in the sum

One of the strongest testimonials to
the substantial stability of this great
American nation is the inability of
army and naval supply contractors to
work up war scares to any apprecla-
bic extent. The favorite preteXt Of
these people during several years past
is the real or imaginary rivalry be-
tween the United States and Japan.
Although the country generally recog-
nizes that Japan is formidable nation
from a military standpoint, and al
though also there is intelligence enough
throughout this country to realize that
an unprepared nation, however rlch
and powerful, Is at a disadvantage in
a war with a prepared nation, especial
" at the beginning, the jingoes are
unable to get any encouragement-ce
tainly not as much as they would like.
Ard there Is good reason. While the
United States has no army to speak Of
as compared with the armies OF some
nations that have less resources than
some of our states, the people OF this
country not only feel but they actually
know that they are able to take care
of themselves as against any nation on
earth. Hark back for instance to the
Venezuela incident some seventeen
wears ago. At that time Great Britain
was acting in a somewhat arrogant
manner with reference to the Monroe
doctrine. The whole United States
navy would have been unable to hold
it's own against any one of Great Bri-
tain's larger ships and the standing
army was not as formidable as the
present police force of New York city.
Great Britain was then undisputably the
most powerful nation on earth from the
war standpoint. President Cleveland
told Great Britain to arbitrate the
trouble or take the consequences. The
whole world was amazed. The army
and navy people knew that II they
wanted to, the British could seize and
occupy every port on the American
coast within ninety days. But nothing
like that happened. Great Britain
knew then as she and all the balance
of the world know now that though
things might be easy for the first
ninety days the next six months or
year would tell a wonderfully different
story. So instead of seizing American
coast cities, Great Britain decided to
arbitrate the alleged boundary dispute
with Venezuela. Maybe, Japan could
give this country some little trouble
for a while; but it could not last long.
It would not be another Russo-Japan-
ese affair. Japan would soon be wiped
off the map as a nation, and the same
thing would happen to any other coun-
try that would take undue liberties
with Uncle Sam. The people OF the
United States know all this and the
army and navy contractors cannot
make them believe otherwise.

With this issue The Enquirer takes
a vacation until December 80. and in
the meantime leaves the matter with
Latham, Gonzales, Carpenter, Brunson,
Hoyt, Henry, Heron, and the other
daily paper boys who think they have a
hard time, but who really have very
soft snap compared with us drudges
of the semi weekly and weekly press.
These daily newspaper boys make i
big blow about their papers coming out
312, 364 or 365 times year, and leave
the impression among those who do
not know any better that they are ever
lastingly at it, whereas, every one of
them get off from one week to month
out of each year, while the week for
Christmas is the only real relief
that the workers on the weekly and
semi weekly papers ever get. But this
is not to be taken as a complaint. 1t is
only to be taken as a statement of
fact, because it is fact.

and then on the other, he gives cluck
and the horses jump Immediately to
their places. If it Is not an alarm, but
merely a practice, he clucks again and
they go back to their stalls. He never
speaks to them at ADJUST clucks, and
they seem to know what he wants as
we'll as If they could talk themselves.
On the streets, whether on their way
to a fire or merely running for prac-
tice, the conduct of the splendid horses
is simply superb. They go at full
speed without the slightest show Of ex-
citement, turn corners as steadily as If
in a walk, and stop at a given signal
almost without a jar. In every respect
their training seems to be all that could
be required or desired by the most ex
acting city fire department.
And in connection with this splendid
training. 1t Is only fair to say that
Mr.. Beckham did it all. Asking how he
managed and he will say, Il don't
know" but nevertheless he has trained
other horses before these, and nobody
who is acquainted with his remarkable
ability along this line has any doubt
that he can do the same with still 9TH
