WITHIN THE TOWN.

From the official analysis publish
ed in another column, it Is very evil
dent that the public water is not res
ponsible for the two cases of typhoid
fever in Yorkville.
Local physicians made an exami-
nation of the school children Tues
day with a view to discovering con-
stitutional troubles. This Is an i'm
portant benevolent work for which the
people Of the town no doubt feel due
appreciation.
The protracted meeting which had
been in progress in the First Presby-
terian church since September 13
came to a close last Wednesday night
with results that were highly encour-
aging. The meetings were largly at
tended by people Of the town and the
country surrounding. A general sum-
mary Of the result is comprehended In
the following: There were 68 profess
sions of faith. Five hundred and thir-
ty-one people signed cards pledging re-
conservation to the service of Christ
Eighteen unattached members Of vari-
Gus churches promised to place their
letters. OF the 68 who signified their
intention to connect themselves with
churches, % gave as their preference
churches other than the First Pres
byterian.

UGLY LOOKING CASE.

If they have not run down the mis-
creant who attempted to wreck the G.
& N.-W.'s passenger train No. 10, at
Crowder's Creek trestle recently, they
are close after him, 1t looks like, and
when they arrest Milus Partlow, ne
gro, who has been living near the
Thompson old mill in the Point, it will
be up to that worthy to make some
wonderfully plausible explanations to
show that he is not the guilty party.
It looks like the attempt to wreck
the passenger train was the work Of q
depraved william of father who hoped
to get money out Of the railroad as
damages against the lives Of his muir
dered children. Messrs. s. N. and
Horace Johnson have been working up
the case and from the remarkably con-
vincing nature Of the evidence they
have so far collected, it looks as II
there Is but little more to be supplied.
It appears that on the day Of the
wreck, Messrs. Johnson followed Part
low to Gastonia with a warrant,
charging him with being fugitive;
but with the real purpose of making
him give satisfaction for having dis
posing Of property under mortgage.
When they ran upon Partlow, ne
seemed to be somewhat agitated; but
~
appeared to be reassured. In fact he
told the officers in so many words that
he thought they wanted him for some
thing else, but he did not say what
that something else was. He also
asked the officers If they had seen his
boys in Gastonia, IL they had come up
on the train that morning, and when
one Of the Messrs. Johnson told him
how near the boys had come to losing
their lives at Crowder's Creek trestle,
he began to ask whether or not In the
event they had been killed, he would
have been entitled to damages.
The negro's questions excited no
suspicion at the time-only disgust,
but later when the Messrs. Johnson
began to think over the situation, 1t
occurred to them that on their road to
Gastonia that morning they had seen
where a rubber tired buggy had been
driven to one side Of the road at the
trestle, and when they found Partlow,
ne was in a buggy that could have ex-
actly made the track. On further in
quiry, they learned that two OF Part
lows children had taken the train at
Glover that morning for Gastonia, and
when they remembered that the ne
gro's wife had died two years before
under suspicion Of poisoning, leaving
1000 insurance on her life, they began
to figure that the matter was worth
looking into further, and going to the
fellows house, they found hidden un-
der the roughness in corn crib an
ordinary crow bar. and also a special
crow bar Of the kind that is used for
the drawing of railroad spikes.
BY this time, the Messrs. Johnson
were fully persuaded that 1t was time
TO arrest the negro on the grave charge
of having attempted to wreck the
train; but when they went for him he
was gone.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 2e, 1911.

The parade extended for at least six
blocks, there beingi several features.
The line Of march was from the
state house up Main street and then
back to the capitol. An interesting
feature of the parade was the Ku Klux
band, which was in charge of Capt.
w. H. Sondley. Miss Queenie Mobley,
daughter of M. H. Mobley, was the
representative Of the Girl Of the
Clan"
A band playing southern airs led the
parade and many cheers went up as
Dixie" sounded to enliven the Red
Shirted bands. After the band came
four automobiles. The automobiles
contained we'll known members Of the
Red Shirt organization and the maids
of honor. Those in the automobiles
were Capt. d. j. Griffith, ]. s. Fowler,
J. E. Mcdonald, Miss Eliza Stribling,
Miss Zena Evans, Miss Agnes Ra-
venel, Miss Grace Lumpkin and Miss
Ruby Johnson.
Following the automobiles came the
Red Shirts. Several scores Of the or
ganiZations were mounted. Many OF
the counties represented in the process
sion were represented by banners. In
the Hne of march were four negroes,
who voted the Democratic ticket In
1876.
The Richland county delegation was
led by G.. McDuffie Hampton, a son Of
Gen. Wade Hampton. He was accom-
panied by Sheriff w. II. Coleman.
Invitations for the next annual re-
union Of the Red Shirt organization
have been extended by. Charleston,
Kershaw and Greenwood.
The work of John G. Mobley In
bringing about a successful reunion
was highly commended by several at
the business session and in speeches

second term as commander in chief

there were insignificant disorders In
the streets. The stone throwing was
stopped by police and soldiers. About
l. 900 arrests have been made. All the
reservists answered the call and en-
tered their barracks without unto
ward incidents but the trains used to
transport them were stopped at sew
eral stations by mobs. The women
and children were particularly desper-
ate, and in instances threw them
selves across the railway tracks In
front of the trains. daring the engi-
neerS to run over them. Carabineers
and cavalry repeatedly charged these
crowds and cleared the tracks while
the reservists shouted viva Italy,
viva Italy and Tripoli."

GREENvILLE's BOIL WEEvIL.

The Greenville News of yesterday,
has the following additional informa-
tion about the alleged boil weevil dis
covered in that county recently:
In re the bug" which was brought
to the News office several days ago
from one Of the local cotton gins and
pronounced by a resident Of Texas to
be a genuine Mexican boil weevil, the
News is in receipt Of a letter from a
gentleman living in Louisiana, relative
gentleman read the news story which
the Greenville News printed about the
finding Of the supposed boil weevil,
and writes to throw additional light on
the question Of whether or not this
was a real Mexican boil weevil.
The letter Is as follows
Many, La, Sept. "a, 1911.
The Greenville News, Greenville, S. G.
Dear Sirs: l note in The Yorkville
Enquirer that you have had brought to
your office what has been designated by
a former resident of Texas as a Mexi-
can boil weevil. The description CIV
en- by the international Encyclopedia
does not differentiate the insect from
other kindred species, notably the pine
weevil, which Is almost the same in
appearance, except in not having at
the joints of the front legs barbs, or
'tushes" which serve the purpose of
cutting into the square, or boil; or, In
other words, making a perforation for
depositing eggs.
If you have the bug yet, and find
that particular tool, you may rest sat
isfied you have the genuine cotton boil
weeVil; otherwise, you may dismiss all
fear of its being the dreaded enemy.
Yours truly, w. P. Good.
The following postal card was also
received from Mr.. Good:
Dear Sirs: For fear you may make
have decided to give a better descrip-
ton of the barb that distinguishes the
creature. 1t is on the inner side Of arm
attached to the principal joint, or ell
bow, so to speak, and Is serrated, or
jagged, If l remember rightly.
The day after the story was print
ed in the News several citizens of the
county called at the News office and
asked to be given q look at the Great
ure. Several of the gentlemen pro-
nounced the insect a genuine boil
weevil, while others, having never
seen a boil weevil, were unable to pass
an opinion.
Following this wholesale inspection
of the creature, his bugship was placed
in a small box and shipped to Clemson
college for examination under the mi
croscOpe of an expert. AS yet no re-
ply has been received from the Glenn
son professor.

KIRKPATRICK-BElK CO.

The store Of the Kirkpatrick-Belk
company in Yorkville, Is a centre OF
especial interest today on account OF
the annual fall millinery opening.
which began last night and which
continues thu ough tomorrow.
There were great crowds Of visitors
to the store last night, and the crowds
continue today, the people being In
terested In the handsome displays OF
fall millinery, and the many attrac-
tive new goods that are being offered.
The store presented an unusually
handsome appearance last night when
thrown open to visitors, who found
every department in gala array with
decorations in purple and white, and
all manner Of attractive goods arrang-
ed in tasteful display that facilitated
easy inspection.
The crowds, made up principally of
ladies'; but including quite large per
cent of men, who also desired to see.
began to gather on the first opening
of the doors and continued to circu-
late through the store for two hours
or more, taking in all the features of
the unusually interesting show. Dur
ing the evening a string band dispens-
ed music from behind a curtain, and
delightful punch was served to all OF
the visitors.
The millinery display is extensive,
artistic and elaborate, and must be
seen to be appreciated, as no printed
description could be more than half
satisfactory. In the big display OF
pattern hats are a number that have
been given distinctive individual
names, among them the following:
The "Vierot," of green plush, rolled
brim, trimmed in white breast Of he
ron pompon. The "Trotleur," Of cop
per and black hood effect. The Lady
Penn" of black beaver, faced with
velvet and trimmed with huge GRIM
son bow, faced with velvet. The

white messaline trimmed with heron
feather, the whole having the effect
of the old Virginia bonnet. "Pierrott
Cone" in three sections, made Of
black velvet and white beaver. trim

THE FOX HUNTERS.

In the old days before the war, foxes
were plentiful throughout York county
and packs of fox hounds were also
numerous. 1t was so for a number of
years after the war; but after a while,
some few years back, the fox was a
rare animal. There were only a few
packs of hounds left and races were
few and far between. In fact, about
the only way to get up sport of this
kind was to collect a party and go to
distant hunting grounds.
But fox hunting has been revived
in York during the past few years.
The first step was to secure the en-
actment Of a law protecting foxes, and
the next was to organize clubs and
import foxes for stocking purposes
AS the result, where possibly there
were not more than a dozen foxes in
the county, now there are probably
several hundred.
Just how many regular clubs there
are, the writer has no definite infor-
nation. There is one with general
headquarters at Rock Hill, and which
has procured and turned loose num-
Der of foxes in the vicinity. Another
known as the Fishing Creek club has
territory running down the Fishing
creek bottoms south Of Yorkville. An
other club has hunting grounds around
Nanny's Mountain In Bethel township
and still another has the territory fol
several miles around Kings Mountain
battle-ground and lying partly In North
Carolina.
Altogether during the past three or
four years, the Kings Mountain club
has turned loose more than hundred
foxes, and some of the other clubs
have probably turned loose as many,
Some of these foxes have been caught
and killed by the hunters, and others
have probably been killed by rabbit
hunters and other folks; but there is
very good reason to believe that with
1t all, there has been q considerable
increase Of the original stock.
When the clubs were first organ
lied 1t was easy enough to buy foxes
at from $3.50 to 50; but since then
there has been a general advance In
the price and now the animals cost So
or more and are scarce at that.

DEATH OF ]. L. WILLIAMS.

Mr.. ]. L. Williams, for many years
q prominent and highly esteemed bus
mess man of Yorkville, died at his
home on North Congress street In this
place last Wednesday night at about
IL o'clock, after a long and tedious
illness.
Mr.. williams was born on a farm In
Lancaster county about 81 years ago
and remained with his father until af-
ter he attained his majority, when he
went to Lancaster and took position
with the late VIM. Ganson, under
whom he served a valuable appren-
ticeship in merchandising.
On the completion of the Three C.'s
railroad through Lancaster county and
the springing up of the town Of Ker-
shaw, Mr.. williams moved to that
place, married, and established a mer-
camille business, which he conducted
prosperously until March, 1900, when
he disposed Of it to locate in York
Vile as manager Of the mercantile
concern of ]. M. Heath & Co.
Mr.. williams continued with the
firm Of ]. M. Heath & Co., and with the
succeeding corporation, the Yorkville
Banking and Mercantile company un-
til the summer Of 1906, when he form
ed a partnership with Mr. w. M. Nc
Connell, fellow-employe or the lat
ter concern, and in November, 1906.
they established the firm Of ]. L. Will
liams & Co.. of which the deceased
was a member at the time Of his death:
Mr.. williams was not member OF
any church; but was generally recog-
nized as an upright citizen, who could
be depended upon to meet all obliga-
tions squarely and promptly, and who
tried to do his full duty by his fellow
men. He Is survived by his widow and
two sons, Ganson and Karl, the former
a student at Clemson college, and the
latter a pupil in the Yorkville graded
school.
The interment took place in Rose
Hill cemetery yesterday morning, the
services at the grave being conducted
by Revs. ]. M. Anderson. E. E. Gill
lespie and J. L. Oates.

having, almost without exception, lost
colored population, while the counties
in which the number of whites has
been preponderant or more nearly
equal to the negroes have nearly
shown gains of colored population.
During the ten years from 1900 to
1910 the white population of South
Carolina increased from 557,S07 to
679,162, a gain of 121,355. In the same
period the negroes increased from 7S2,-
321 to S35,S43, gain of 53,522. The
white population increased at the rate
of 21.S per cent of itself, a rate high
er than the average rate of population
increase for the entire United States,
The increase in whites alone was equal
to a gain of per cent of the whole
number of inhabitants Of the state In
1900. The negroes, on the other hand
increased only 6.S per cent OF theiI
own number in 1900. and but 3.9 per
cent of the whole population at that
time. At this rate the whites in South
Carolina should equal or outnumbeI
the negroes in the course Of twenty
years.-Charleston Post.

Judge Sease struck the key to the
last hope in Charleston the other day,
when he suggested what the grand
jury could do toward purifying the
city's elections. There is no doubt
about the fact that if IN earnest and
intelligent grand jury would get busy
after election irregularities, the situa-
ton would be cleaned up in short or
der. 1t is a stubborn fact, however,
that it takes quite a superior county
to produce a grand jury big enough
and broad enough to do it's duty in a
matter like this, and Charleston grand
juries having failed so signally in 9TH
er important matters, especially in the
matter of returning true bills in prima
facie cases of violation of the dispen-
sary laws, there is not much encour-
agement to build hope on the PROPOSE
tion that there will be serious consid-
Grafton of the excellent advice that
Judge Sease has given in his charge.

Capt. ]. B. Bell has retired from the
Cherokee News with which he has
been connected during the past two
years, and returned to his law prac-
tice. Captain Jim came about as neaI

sible under the circumstances, and fol
fear that this remark may be misun-
derstood, we will say in all frankness
that nobody connected with The En-
quirer could have done any better.
