The Confederate Dead.
Although the list of York county
dead as published in The Enquirer of
last Tuesday represented many years
of labor and a lot of hard work, it
was not complete. A number of COR
rections and additions have been re-
ceived since the paper was published.
This was expected and desired. AS
explained before, we are still trying
to correct the list and have a special
record book for the purpose. All cor
rections received by mail or in writ
ing will be entered in this book and
included in the list the next time the
same is published. But we especially
desire to make the request that no
verbal corrections be given the editor
or others connected with the paper on
the streets. or elsewhere, except at The
Enquirer office. There is no way to
guarantee that such corrections will
receive attention.

- Greenville News: After holding at
bay for nearly two hours the deputy
sheriff and a corps of deputies, by
pressing against his temple cooked
revolver and threatening to blow out
his brains If any member of the posse
advanced a step nearer, Robert Hen
ton, a white man, was arrested on the
outskirts of the city this afternoon
and placed in the county Jail. Hen
ton was induced to surrender only
when bond necessary for his release
was shown him on the spot. In an
swer to a call sent in about 2.SO
O'Clock, the sheriff and his deputies
made a hurried departure for the
scene of trouble. 1t was reported that
Henton had shot his wife and was
about to annihilate the neighborhood.
The man learned of the posse ap-
preaching and forthwith sent a cou-
rier to meet the wardens Of the law
and inform them that II they attempt
ed to arrest him he would shoot his
head off, Drawing near the scene OF
the shooting. the sherif beheld Hen
ton standing in his front yard with a
pistol clapped to his temple. The man
had established a dead line" about
him and in solemn tones raised his
voice aloft and cried out that If the
posse advanced one inch nearer, the
trigger would be pulled and warmer
climate than this on earth would re-
ceive his spirit
