YORKVILLE, S. C. :
THURSDAY MORNING, DEC. 3, 18S5.
THE UUYEKAUK'S ittESSAUE.
We print this important document in full
on the first page of this issue. The paper,
like all that have emanated from Governor
Thompson, is well written and contains
matters of interest to the citizens of the
State, as well as many suggestions as to
needed legislation, most of which will commend
themselves to the people, and are
worthy the consideration of the Legislature.
PROHIBITION IN GEORGIA.
The Prohibition contest, on Wednesday
of last week, in Fulton county, Ga., which
also included the city of Atlanta, resulted
in a victory for the prohibitionists by a majority
of 216. There was much excitement
in Atlanta during the election, though
no disturbance occurred. Seven thousand
votes were polled and both sides worked
hard. The negro vote, which both sides
endeavored to control, was about evenly
divided. Should there be no contest, prohibition
will go into effect in Atlanta on
the last day of July next, on which day
the existing licenses expire. It has been
stated that the whisky men do not accept
the result, and have filed a notice of contest,
and will institute suit in the United States
Court, pleading unconstitutionality and illegal
voting in county precincts which were
already prohibition by legislative enactment
or high license. The bill requires that
no precinct which will not be affected by the
measure, and already has prohibition, either
by high license or legislation, shall vote
on the question. If these votes are thrown
out, Prohibition loses its majority. But
while this intimation comes from Atlanta,
another statement is to the effect that no
contest will be made. The loudest complaint
of the result comes from the lessees
of the Kimball House, who say that they
cannot keen up the hotel without the reve
nue brought in by the bar ; and while they
speak of closing the house, there are others
who are willing to take it. And while
Prohibition is expected to give an impetus
to business generally in Atlanta, the heaviest
real estate owners?those who are materially
interested in the prosperity of the
city?say they now expect their property to
appreciate in value at least 25 per cent.
On the same day Wilkes county also voted
in favor of Prohibition.
THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
The Legislature has now been in session
for a week and may be supposed to have
fairly gotten under weigh with its work,
though as none should expect, but little
work has yet been perfected. The letter
* of our Columbia correspondent, published
to-day, will give a clear idea of the drift
of legislation thus far, and some insight of
the future policy of the Legislature.
Besides the matters spoken of by our correspondent,
in the House, on Friday, the
bill for the relief of all counties in the State
which have outstanding against them bonds
issued in aid of railroad construction was
discussed. The bill, which came over from
the last session, was introduced by Mr.
Stanyarne Wilson, of Spartanburg, and was
reported unfavorably by the ways and
means committee, provides that the State
treasury shall pay the principal and interest
of the bonds issued by any counties in aid of
the building of railroads. It is proposed to
pay these county debts out of the taxes paid
to the State by the railroads. Mr. Wilson
made an earnest speech in support of his
bill. There were only ten counties to be
benefitted by the bill?Chester, Chesterfield,
Colleton, Greenville, Laurens, Lancaster,
Pickens, Spartanburg, Union and York. He
said, in these counties the value of property
had been increased a hundred-fold. After
a short discussion, the bill was killed.
On Saturday the Senate was in session
but forty minutes, and though a number of
bills were introduced, no legislation was
. perfected.
In the House the bills to create County
Courts and provide for the appointment of
magistrates in place of trial justices, were
reported unfavorably and were both killed.
On Monday the Valued Policy Insurance
Bill was discussed in the House as a special
order. Stripped of verbiage, the plain provisions
of this bill are to require insurance
companies doing business in this State to
pay to the insured the full amount of the
policy. The effect of the passage of such a
bill would be to raise premiums for insurance
above the ability of property owners
to take policies, or to drive from the State
all insurance companies now doing business
in it.
DEATH OF THE VICE-PI^SIDEXT.
The Vice-President died very suddenly at
his residence in Indianapolis a few minutes
before 5 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon of
last week. He returned to his home from
Chicago early in the week, and complained
of feeling unwell, but nothing serious was
thought of it at the time. On Tuesday
night he and Mrs. Hendricks attended a
reception at the residence of Hon. J. Cooper,
and after he returned home he complained
of pains in his side and stomach. On Wednesday
morning he was no better, and his
family physician, l)r. Thompson, was called
in. He gave him an emetic, and later in
the day an injection. Mr. Hendricks stayed
in his room all day, and most of the
time in bed, although he sat up at frequent
intervals. He received no callers, but
about o o'clock Mrs. Hendricks left his bedside
to see a caller for a few minutes in the
parlor. She was delayed longer than she
expected, and when she returned to the
room she found that her husband was dead.
The end of a busy and eventlul life had
come peacefully and quietly. On his face
there was no indication of pain or suffering,
auu ins eyes were oniy nan cioseu, as n in
gentle sleep. He died of paralysis of the
brain.
The announcement of the sudden death
<#( Mr. Hendricks?a statesman, and the
second highest officer of the United States
Government?was a shock to the nation.
He has occupied a prominent place before
the people of his country for many years,
and throughout his Public career was noted
for his strict adhererence to Democratic
principles and the purity and patriotism of
his political life.
Mr. Hendricks was born in Ohio, but
when he was yet a child his father moved
to Indiana, with which State he was always
identified. He first entered public
service at the age of 20, when he was elected
to the Legislature of his State, since
which time he has almost constantly occupied
various public positions. He served
in his early life as commissioner of lands,
winning commendation for the faithful dis-1
charge of his duty. As a Congressman and
Senator, while faithful to his State's interest,
he never lost sight of what he conceived to
be for the welfare of the whole Union. His
public life, however, has but so recently been
discussed that but a bare allusion to the most
prominent events in his career is necessary
in this brief notice of his death. He was
nominated for the Vice-Presidency in 187G
with Mr. Tilden, but was deprived of the seat
to which it was claimed he was elected. In
1SS4, as a representative of the old ticket he
was again nominated for the Vice-Presidency
with Mr. Cleveland, and since their election
he discharged the duties of his office
with the same integrity that marked his
whole life.
His funeral occurred last Tuesday, and as
a mark of respect the obsequies were attended
by public officials and distinguished
citizens from all parts of the Union. In
deference to the advice of his friends the
President did not leave Washington tc

visable for him to risk his life to thedangei
incidental to rapid travel by special trains
THE VICE-PRESIDENCY.
By the death of Mr. Hendricks the Vice
Presidency succeeds to the President pn
(em. of the Senate. This may affect the political
status of the Administration by th<
election of a Republican President pro (em.
for unless the Democrats have a clear major
ity in the Senate that body will doubtles:
be organized by the election of a Republi
can. The idea that Mr. Edmunds is Presi
dent pro (em. would seem to be erroneous
as no President pro (em. was elected at th<
last session. In an interview with Senatoi
John Sherman upon this subject, that gentle
man said:
"I do not think that the Vice-President'!
death will have any disturbing effect 01
National politics. Of course, the election o
a Republican as President of the Senat(
will naturally give rise to a feeling of un
certainty, for the reason that the death o
Mr. Cleveland would change the politica
complexion of the Administration."
"Will the death of Mr. Hendricks hav(
any effect upon the organization of the Sen
aie :
"None, whatever," replied the Senator
"The organization of the Senate rests en
tirely with the Senators. Of course, th<
Vice-President is our President, but it i:
customary for the Senate to elect a Presi
dent pro tempore. Mr. Hendricks, however
was so regular in his attendance at the lasi
session of the Senate that we did not elec
one. The first thing to be done when the
Senate next convenes is for the Clerk t<
announce the death of the Vice-President
Somebody will then move that a ballot b(
taken for a President of the Senate, and the
matter will be settled in half an hour. ]
cannot say who will be selected. The place
is not a very desirable one, and the death o
Mr. Hendricks is so sudden that, of course
nobody has given the matter a thought."
It was suggested to the Senator that poli
tical gossip had already placed his nam<
and the names of Senators Edmunds anc
Logan on the list of probable candidates. T(
this suggestion he made answer: Ah, J
had not heard any such reports. I am no
prepared to say that I should want tin
office, and I do not know that any othei
Senator wants it. The selection will be
made after a friendly consultation no doubt
Both parties will hold their caucuses anc
nominate their candidates."
Senator Sherman, in alluding to the faci
that the President of the Senate would be
come President of the United States in case
of the death of the incumbent of the lasi
named office, said that such a contingency
had never happened, and he hoped that it
never would happen*. It would be very un
fortunate should such a thing occur, and he
earnestly hoped that President Clevelanc
would live his term out.
RETRENCHMENT AND REFORM.
The Columbia Register of Sunday con
tains a report of a conference of members o
both Houses of the Legislature, held in the
hall of the House on Saturday night, those
composing the conference being advocate?
of retrenchment in the expenses of the State
government. There were present at the
meeting the following members of the twe
Houses: Senators?SIigh, Moody; J. B
Moore, Black, Jere Smith; Representatives?Scudday,
Rucker, Rutland, Seigler,
Guignard, Woodward, lince, retngrew.
Reedy, Jones, Baker, Wilkes, Blake, Massey,
Fox, Browning, llill, Padgett, Clinkscales,
Kearse, Davies, Watson, Henderson,
Mclver, McKissick, Riddle, Gibson,
Wharton, Spencer, Alford, Lay and Kinney.
The assemblage represented all the professions
and callings in both Houses, although
the farming class largely predominated.
Senator Sligh was called to the
chair, and Mr. Scudday was requested tc
act as secretary.
Mr. S. Pope, of Newberry, took the floor
and explained the object of the conference
to be in the interest of economy and reform
in the administration of the government.
He favored a reduction of the salary of the
Clerk of the House and the Senate to S50C
each, the Assistant Clerk to $") per day; a
reduction of the salary of the Superintendent
of the Asylum to ?2,100; a small appropriation
to the canal; a repeal of the law
of last winter with regard to the hiring ol
convicts, and a law passed to enable the
Directors of the Penitentiary to take contracts;
a reduction of the contingent fund
of the Executive, and any other reduction
in governmental expense necessary.
Senator Moore suggested that com m-it tees
should be appointed to consider the matters
indicated, and such others as might be
thought proper subjects for investigation,
such as the Penitentiary and canal, and the
Lunatic Asylum. He had never been able
to understand the management of the phosphate
royalty by the Agricultural Department,
and he believed that the great body
of the farmers in and out of the Legislature
would like to be enlightened on that matter,
and on the military bill. The work
would be more than one committee could
attend to, and should be assigned to several
committees.
Mr. Rutland spoke in favor of an investigation,
and advocated a reduction of fees.
Mr. Reedy thought that the proposition
to appoint committees to investigate would
justly subject the caucus to severe criticism,
as the committees would have no authority
which would be recognized by the officers
ot the institutions proposed to ne investigated.
J to thought, however, that the
members there present should agree upon
the measures they were to insist on and
which they deemed needful.
Senator Black could not understand how
the friends of retrenchment in the conference
were tosecure the appointment of these
committees by the Speaker as suggested by
Mr. Reedy, and thought that the conference
had better appoint the committees.
After further discussion by other members
of the conference, Senator Black submitted
a motion to appoint the following
committees, which was adopted:
1. Penitentiary and Canal.
2. Pepartment ot Agriculture,phosphate royalty
and privilege tax.
Salaries of State officers, judiciary and contingent,
and other expenses of the Executive
Department.
4. Appropriations for educational institutions
and for military.
5. Salaries of the ollicers of the Senate and
House and other expenses.
<>. Salary of Superintendent and expenses of
A$ylum. "
7. Salary and management of office of Railroad
Commissioners.
A committee of five, consisting of Messrs.
Pope, Pucker, Wharton, Moody and Moore,
were appointed to assist the chair in forming the
committees, and the following was the result:
1st. Messrs. Massev, Moore and Cibson.
2d. Pope, Mclvcr and Fox.
:$d. Pucker, Blake and Blue.
4th. Seudday, Moody and Pettigrew.
">th. McKissick, Clinkseales and Smith.
Rtli. Black, Reedy and Davie.
7th. Sligh, Rutland and Wharton.
The conference then adjourned to meet on
Wednesday night.
What may be the outcome of this conference
remains to be seen. As there is a formal
arraignment made of the administra,
tion of several of the departments of the
State government, and a demand for the re!
duction of salaries and expenses of the State
institutions, we may expect the action
of the members composing the conference
1 to be severely criticized in some quarters;
> but if the proposed investigation proves the
charges groundless, the party now con'
trolling the State will only be strengthened.
Mr. Butler, the Commissioner of Agricul
1 ture, lias already publicly signified nis wn1
lingness to co-operate with the committee
5 so far as relates to an investigation of his
) department, and we presume the heads of
all the other departments of the .State govr
eminent will extend the same facilities,
should it be properly and respectfully asked
that they do so.

> THE STATE LEGISLATURE.
Columbia, November 30.?There has
i been no really important legislation yet by
, the General Assembly, except the action of
. the Senate in defeating the Bill proposing
, changes in the assessment and collection of
5 taxes. The majority in the Senate thought
the proposed changes would make the sys
tern more cumbersome and expensive than
, the present plan, imperfect an unsatisfac?
tory as it is. It strikes me that so long as
"r the present constitutional requirements remain
in the way, we will never get a tax
system that will be acceptable to the people
and at the same time insure a prompt
3 collection of the taxas. This seems to be
i the belief of a majority of the Legislature,
f and that it is useless to try to tinker at the
} present plan when the requirements of the
- constitution effectually bar the way to any
f simple and economical plan. What we
1 need is fewer tax officers in the county ; less
machinery?a simple law that the masses
i can easily comprehend ; less red tape and
- more common sense in our tax system, and
give the Comptroller-General the power to
. regulate assessments, so as to secure equaii
zation.
} Efforts will be made to remedy the presi
ent plan in some important particulars and
- the York delegation desire to acknowledge
, their indebtedness to Treasurer Xeely for
t valuable suggestions in this regard.
t One of the most important matters that
? will be considered this session is the C'olum>
bia Canal, which continues to drag its slow
. length along, and events seem to confirm
^ the opinion of your correspondent a year
i ago that before it is completed it will cost
[ the State nearly one million dollars, and is
j an unwarrantable and unjustifiable use of
f the people's money. But as a majority of
, this present body last session voted an appropriation
to continue the work on this
- project, it is to be presumed that they will
3 do so this session, although I think some
1 members who voted for the canal lastses)
sion are inclined to change front. The Pen[
itentiary, in 1S82, had a net surplus of
t ?65,000 over and above the support of the
j institution ; but now since the canal project
r has been saddled upon the Penitentiary it
i has not only wiped out all the annual profits
. of the Penitentiary, but has also consumed
I an annual appropriation of ?17,000; and
what for? To manufacture water powers,
I and that, too, when water powers are so
numerous over our State.
There is a strong feeling among the mem?
bers of the Legislature who are opposed to
t any extravagant appropriations that an orr
ganized effort must be made to check this
t evil, which, like all other evils, unless op.
posed will increase. With this end in view,
j a conference of those who were in favor of
r retrenchment of expenditures was called, to
1 meet in the hall of the House of Representatives
last Saturday night, and committees
were appointed to get up information and
report to the next meeting of the conference
. on Wednesday night as to how far and in
. what departments retrenchment of expenses
can be effected without impairing the efti
ciency of the public service.
i A Bill to call a Constitutional Convention
5 of the people is on our calendar. I do not
; think it will secure the necessary two-thirds
[ vote. The objections seem to be the great
cost at this time, when the financial condi'
tion of our people is so unsatisfactory. Some
think, too, that thesaine endscan be gained
by amendments from time to time by .the
( Legislature and submitted to the people.
The Governor recommends an increase of
[ the number of Circuit Judges, which of
course meets with the approval of almost
" every legal gentleman in the Legislature,
?? thpv wv niifl nprhnns hnnestlv. that it is
, absolutely necessary. Jt may be absolutely
. necessary that two 'more lawyers should get
Judgeships and two more be made Solicitors,
but I am not so sure that it is essential
" to an efficient administration of justice.
The taking of the State census will again
come up lor consideration. It is true this
( is required by the constitution, but if taken
j next year the re-apportionment of the representation
in the Legislature cannot take
place without an extra session of the Legis'
lature until 1888, which brings it so near the
! next U. S. Census that it seems to me the
i better plan would be to change the constitution,
and in 181)0 re-apportion the representation
upon the basis of the next census
to be taken in that year. It is estimated
1 that it will cost the State $80,000 to take a
census of the people.
The J udges of all the ci rcuits, except Judge
. Kershaw and Judge Eraser are to be reelected
this session. There will be no oppo,
sition except in Judge Aldrich's circuit,
and perhaps in Judge Pressley's circuit.
' Senator Moore, from Hampton county, is
spoken of as a probable candidate against
Judge Aldrich, and I have heard General
I/Jar's name mentioned for the Judgeship
in Judge Pressley's circuit. is.
' A Swindling Scheme.?A recent Wasli1
ington letter says: Efforts have already
I been begun by the sharpers here to "work"
| the credulous and unsophisticated ex-G'on|
federate soldiers. A firm of lawyers is
, I sending out circulars to the ignorant exj
Confederate soldiers in the South, soliciting
i their clientage in procuring them a bounI
ty of damages from the United States Government.
! The circulars contain a preface in which
it is asked if the party receiving one of
J them was drafted, conscripted or otherwise
"pressed" into the Confederate service. If
{ so, he is asked to read what follows. Then
j it is stated that the Constitution of the
i I*nitr><l 5S:it??s nlerlfos nrntoction to nil its
citizens, and if any of them were forced
I to do service in war they are entitled to
damages. An approprirtion is expected
j from Congress, it is set forth, to pay these
j damages. The English law is quoted to
substantiate this allegation. Each person
J addressed is requested to remit s."> to the
j attorneys for the purpose of defraying expenses
in procuring the appropriation. It
j is estimated that at least l">(),00(i were forced
| into the Confederate service, and it is intended
that every one of them, their heirs
I or legal representees, shall have an opportunity
to invest ?0 in this scheme.

LETTER FROM NEW YORK.
| New York, November 2S.?Being dej
tained by business longer than expected
: in this great city, and knowing that nothing
could be accomplished during the holi'
day, we determined to take our first trip
to West Point, and while away the night
I and day in seeing this historic place. On
i Wednesday afternoon we went up to the
! Grand Central Depot, and were amused for
j half an hour in the waiting room, with the
Urn v ornvvfl nf ulf>n?uro ynoknrs around lis?
jail bent on catching some particular train
and anxious to be off?the boy and girl,
' going from the boarding school in the city,
i to their homes in the country. Fathers and
; mothers with their little children, hurrying
i to grandmas to enjoy Thanksgiving din5
ners. At length our train was called and
I rushing with the crowd were soon seated in
i the car and ready to begin observations on
! this new journey. The entire ride of sixty
miles was all new and of great interest. The
I tunnel under the great city, was the first object
of wonder, and then the "High Bridge"
over the Harlem River, which is an admirable
work of art in its great height, and
many stone arches, through which the different
trains find their way, out of the great
city. For the first time we realized New
York to be an island city, when we saw
the Harlem join the Hudson river.
The Palisades were at first somewhat disappointing,
but we soon found ourselves
wondering how came they there, and in such
position, and what kind of rock composed
them, and then this remarkable upheaval
in nature furnished food for thought, both
in regard to science and antiquity. We
dashed through Yonkers,Tarrytown, Peekskill,
and SingSing., The grey, grim prisonol
the last named place with its stern iron bars
towered above the stone wall that lined the
railroad track, and we wondered if there
was one heart among the hundreds there,
that felt likegiving thanks.

where the little ferry boat, Jlir/hlanifo, waited
to convey us over to West Point. A
crowd of young ladies with their dowagei
chaperones, filled the boat, as well as the
omnibus and carriages at the other side.
Here we found the snow three inches deef
and the wind howling amid the rockj
hills. We were driven to the West Point
Hotel to find it also crowded. The parlors
were filled with beaux and belles, and seeing
the dazzling uniforms of the cadets, we
cast about for someone we knew. A catalogue
being handed us by the clerk, and
looking at the names from" South Carolina,
we found among them John Murray Jenkins,
the son of our old friend and teacher,
Gen. Micah Jenkins. Our card was sent,
and in a few moments we were grasping the
hand of the image and reproduction of hie
loved and honored sire. The very smile
and shake of his hand, carried us back tothe
old "garrison days" when to meet his fathei
on the green, and get a smile was an inspiration
for the day!
Young Jenkins invited us to the "german,"
which was to be in the Mess Hall
that night, promising to secure chairs foi
us. JIe was engaged for the evening ton
young lassie from our own South Carolina?
the only representative of the State. We
went at 8 o'clock in the omnibus to the
Mess Hall, which was brilliant in gas and
bunting. Our old limbs were not supple
enough to "trip the light, fantastic toe,'1
and even if they had been it would be inadmissible
here, for no civilian showed
himself in this gay throng of1 brass button.'
and gold tape!
We had a chair and plenty of good supper,
and were not expected to participate
further in this festive occasion. But out
ears were delighted with the music dispensed
by the West Point Band, arranged
on a platform at the end of the room, and
our eyes feasted on love and beauty. The
dresses of the young ladies were varied and
beautiful, and many of them quite "summery."
We, who were playing "wall flower,"
had opportunity to take in both the
costumes and style of dressing. Comment!;
were made several times during the evening
upon the light, graceful dancing of the
young lass in the german with Mr. Jenkins;
and upon asking her name we found
it was Miss Sallie Belle Witherspoon, o!
York vilie, S. C. The dress was of blue satin
and velvet with terra cotta gloves to the
elbow, and trimming of dutchess lace,
Her corsage boquet was of pink pond lilies,
and she bore away twelve favors from the
dances.
Put we groaned in spirit and felt old,
when we thought that neither of these
young people were among the living in the
"old garrison days." We had our good
times, and now they must have theirs, even
though the "hey-day of life is over" for us.
At 12.30 one tap on the old drum changed
the scene, and in a few moments the beaux
were marched to the barracks, and the
belles were carried by the dowagers back
to the hotel.
The next morning the snow was falling in
large flakes, and many were leaving for
their homes in the city; but we lingered
till noon, visiting the library, chapel, barracks,
gymnasium and other points of interest.
We met most of the South Carolina
boys, among them Lucas and Putler, who
walked with us over the ground and by the
officers' quarters, which are ideals of domestic
comfort, as far as the appearance goes,
and we trust inside is full of peace and happiness.
We returned to New York charmed with
our visit to West Point, but saddened by
the old memories that came uncalled of our
own cadet lite, and we felt like yielding to
the impulse of giving the old Enquirer
the benefit of both the grave and the gay
awakened in us, trusting that dear old
York may ever have as noble and trustworthy
a pupil at West Point as the one
who now represents her. Amicus.

LETTER FROM CHESTER.
Chester, November 30.?Mr. John Estes,
one of our farmers, while riding on a
mule on last Tuesday, met three men in
charge of the same number of bears. The
mule became frightened at the sight, and
immediately ran away. Coming to a wide
gully, it attempted to clear the obstruction
at a bound, but the attempt was a disastrous
failure to the mule. Striking its head
agiiinst the far side of the gully, its neck
was broken, and death was the immediate
result. It was a valuable mule, and its
death involves considerable loss to the owner.
Mr. Estes fell partly under the mule
land narrowly escaped serious injury. The
I town authorities prohibited the men and
i bears from stopping id Chester.
Our county commissioners will soon
adopt measures looking to the removal of
obstructions from the streams flowing
through this county. This will lead to the
cultivation of many thousand acres of land
that have for years been uncultivated. The
owners of the land on the streams containing
the obstructions will be required to
remove the obstructions. If not, the obstructions
will be removed at their expense.
The county commissioners will first direct
J their attention to the removal of obstruc:
tions on Turkey Creek.
Last Thursday?Thanksgiving Day?was
more generally observed at this place than
| on any similar day since the close of the
war. A few stores'were open, but business
1 was for the most part suspended. A union
service was held at the Associate Jteforined
Church, at which a large congregation
was present to hear a fine sermon from
ltev. It. \V. Sanders. 1 lis text was "When
iniquity abounds the love of many wax
I cold." He enumerated and enlarged upon
the sins of the people. The sins of intemperance,
profanity and licentiousness occupied
conspicuous places in the picture of
I condemnation. Mr. Sanders, speaking of
intemperance, said that the amount expended
last year on i n toxicati ng dri nks was ?900, 000,000,
while the sum spent on public education
was only ?90,000,000. The whisky
bill, he said, equaled the bread and meat
bills combined.
A colored man on Mr. Andrew White's
place was injured on last Thursday by the
explosion of a cartridge. It seems that a
cartridge had fallen from the pocket of Mr.
James White, and the colored man, becoming
cold, kindled a fire on the place where
it had fallen, lie was struck on the leg
by a piece of the cartridge which was exploded
by the fire. He sustained a painful
but not serious injury.
Martha Gaston, colored, a laborer on the
plantation of Mr. Dave Gaston, was found
dead on last Thursday morning. It was
her custom to pray every morning at a certain
place in the woods and it was there
that she was found. The verdict of the
jury of inquest was that she came to her
death from heart disease.
A considerable number of tax-payers
'have not paid their taxes and will consequently
be required to pay the penalty.

TAX COLLECTIONS. y

of State and county taxes closed on Monday last,
and as there will be no extension of time authorized
by the Comptroller-General, the penalty to

amount paid in is greater than, under the stringency
of the times, was expected.
KITCHEN BURNED. /
About 11 o'clock A. M., last Friday, Dr7 Jno.
C. Kuykendal's kitchen was discovered to be on
fire, and as it was in close proximity to his drug
store, in which is also his residence, ell'orts were
directed to confining the flames to the burning
building, which proved successfuland prevented
a serious conflagration. Dr. Kuykendal's loss
is about 8M0 with the destruction of the building
and damage to other property he sustained.
NOT. THE RIGHT MAX.
A negro was arrested in Monroe, X. C., a few

murdered Mr. W. G. Durant, of Fort Mill, in
this county, in February, 1S85. Investigation
proved, however, that the captured negro is not
Foard Knox, but he proves to be an escaped
convict from the North Carolina penitentiary,
so that the arrest is not fruitless after all.
A FIRE DEPARTMENT. \7
The meeting advertised to take place at the
Court House at 7 o'clock this evening for the
purpose of considering the propriety of levying
an additional tax of one mill tor the purpose of
improving the lire department, should attract a
general attendance of the tax-paying citizens,
and secure for the town a more efficient system of
protection from fire, which, it is thought, can be
effected by the additional levy of only one mill.
CHILDREN BURXEI) TO DEATH. 4 \/
On Wednesday of last week, about 11 o'clock
A. M., the house of Sam Latham, colored, who
lived on the plantation of Mr. D. M. Hall, about
four miles north-west of town, was burned, and
in it were his two children, aged respectively
two years and eight months, both of whom were
so seriously injured before being rescued, that
they died. The parents had gone off' and left
the children shut up in the house, with the usual
result.
THANKSGIVING DAY.
Thanksgiving day was generally observed in
Yorkville. Services were held in the Episcopal
Church, the rector, Rev. G. A. Ottmann, officiating,
and in the Associate Reformed Presbyterian
Church union services were conducted by
Rev. T. R. English, of the Presbyterian Church,
and Rev. J. C. Galloway, pastor of the church
in which the services were held. Rev. Mr. English,
who led in the service, delivered an instructive
and highly interesting discourse appropriate
to the occasion.
STANDARD DRAMATIC COMPANY.
During the past week the Standard Dramatic
Company have given several very pleasing entertainments
in Hunter Ji Gates' opera house.
On Monday night they presented "Ten Nights
in a Bar-room" to a packed house. Dry town
as Yorkville is, the people turned out to witness
this celebrated temperance drama, the moral of
which, however, we fear, was entirely lost sight
of by Mr. McElreth's comical personation of
Sample. He was funny, and no mistake, and the
play was well rendered throughout. On Tuesday
night they presented lieade's dramatization
of Tennyson's "Dora," and the comical afterpiece,
"Tool of the Family."
IT ItK IN GASTOXIA. V
On Monday night of last week the cook room
of the hotel in Gastonia, familiarly known as the
"Waddill House," was discovered to bo on lire,
and so rapidly did the llames spread, that the
building?a wooden one?was soon destroyed.
It was occupied by Mr. 1). F. Dickson, as a hotel,
and he lost all the furniture with which it was
equipped. Resides his own loss, several boarders
in the house sustained a similar loss in the
destruction of their furniture with which their
rooms were furnished.
The Gazette says the hotel was the property of
Mr. J. L. Falls, of Pleasant Ridge, and his loss
is about $3,000. There was no insurance. The
house was put up about 10 years ago by Mr. J.
W. Davis, and afterwards sold to Mr. Falls, who
made some extensive improvements on it.

MURDER AT BLACK'S. V
On Tuesday evening of lust week Arthur X.
Turner, the town marshal of Black's in this
county, was shot and fatally wounded by Robert
('. Bishop. From persons who live at'Blaek's
and have visited Yorkville since the occurrence,
we learn the following particulars of the affair:
About a week previous to the shooting Bishop
visited Black's and became intoxicated and
drew his pistol, for which offence he was arrested
and taken before the intendant who, after hearing
the case, imposed a line, from which decision
Bishop obtained a rehearing, which was set
for the 24th of November. On that day he was
given a second hearing which resulted in re-affirniing
the decision of the intendant made on
the first hearing. At this result Bishop became
greatly incensed and after leaving the intendant's
office he commenced making threats and
uttering profane and abusive language to such
an extent that the marshal approached him and
cautioned him to quiet down and behave himself
or he might again get into trouble. To the
admonition of the marshal Bishop made 110 reply,
but drawing his revolver quickly tired at
the officer, the ball penetrating the region of the
heart, and causing death in a few hours. As '
Turner fell to his knees he drew his pistol and
1 |
tired three shots at Bishop, all of which took
effect. The attention of the by-slanders was
directed entirely to caring for the wounded officer,
and knowing that Bishop was also severe- j
ly wounded it was not thought that he could escape:
but after washing his wounds he escaped j
during the excitement and at this date of our
intelligence has not been heard from. Parties
are active, however, in searching for him, while
it is thought by some that he made his way to a <
plaeeof hiding and died of his wounds. f
Turner was a native of Cleveland county. X. I <
C., and had tlie reputation of being an efficient
officer and a quiet, peaceful man. Bishop lived
in Gatfney t'itv and sustains the character of a
desperado and rowdy.
RAILROAD ACCIDENT., V--.
On Wednesday of last week a serious accident
occurred to the South bound train on the
Chester and Lenoir Railroad, about one inile
this side of Gastonia, and about two hundred
yards the other side of the trestle across Little
Catawba Creek. There were on board about
twenty passengers in the lirst-elass oar and
eight or ten in the second class. At the point
named, the second freight car from the engine
jumped the track and turned over, pulling all
the cars in the rear of it oil' the track and piling
them in a wreck on the side of the road. Engineer
Sinvre, as soon as he felt the jar, reversed
his engine, which stopped on the trestle. The
rear cars did not break loose, and the strain
on the engine being very heavy, the engineer
fearing that it would pull the trestle down,
put on a full head of steam and the engine
bounded forward, breaking the coupling ana
succeeded in reaching this side of the trestle. V
There is no known cause why the car left the
track. The conductor and passengers say that
the train was running smoothly and at the usual
rate of speed. Much praise is bestowed upon v
the engineer for his coolness and presence of
mind, by which a more serious calamity was *
averted. The wounded were taken to Gastonia
and properly cared for. The Gazette gives the
following list of the injured: Mr. William
Hunter, of Atlanta, Ga., cut in the head ; Mr.
10. F. Bell, of Clover, S. L\, bruised on thigh;
Mr. L. H. C'urrie, baggage master, ear badly cut;
Mr. S. X. Williams, conductor, bruised on leg;
Mack Dixon, colored brakeman, arm broken
and shoulder dislocated; Mr. C. II. Harris, arm
bruised ; Miss Mallissa Harris, slight bruise on
forehead; Dora Harris, arm bruised; Mr. A.
G. Hayes, arm bruised and left knee hurt; Mrs.
A. G. Hayes, bad cut in wrist; Miss Antrim, of
Dallas, slight bruise on forehead. ^
MERE-MENTION.
Eight Indians, implicated in the Itiel rehellion,
were hanged under sentence of
Court, at Battleford, North-West Territory
at 8.27 last Friday morning. The high
freights on western railroads, and the low
price of tiour, have compelled the Minneapolis
mills to temporarily suspend. *" Alfonso,
King of Spain, died in Madrid on the
morning of the 25th ultimo, of consumption,
accelerated by dysintery. According
to a census just completed the State ol
Wisconsin has a population of 1,563,428;
white males 806,342; white females, 748,- 810;
negroes, 5,526; Indians 2,995. The
Democracy must make a net gain of five
seats to have one majority in the U. S.
Senate of 1887. Where are they coming
from? The Boston Post grimly says:
tho Montana lvnchers would make Drett.v
good juries. Of thirteen men whom they
elevated to forest limbs last year twelve
were the right ones.
Commercial Fertilizers.?The State
Chemists of Georgia, North Carolina and
South Carolina have adopted for use in
their respective States during the approaching
fertilizer season of 18S5-8G, the
following rates of commercial valuation:
Tcr Lb. Per Unit.
For available Phospohric Acid... 71 81.50
For Ammonia 10 3.20
For Potash . 5 1.00 i,
Hitherto, notwithstanding the close
proximity of these three States and their
intimate relations, especially as regards the
trade in commercial fertilizers, there ha*
been no agreement respecting the value to
the valuable ingredients of fertilizers.Columbia
Register.

Important Decision'.?On Saturday last
the State Supreme Court tiled a decision in
the case of King vs. Fraser, from Charleston,
in which the Court holds that a mortgage
not recorded within the time prescribed
by law has a lien from the date of its
record under act of 1876, and is preferred f
to innocent unsecured creditors for valuable
consideration, without notice, whose debts
were created between the date of its record.
The opinion is delivered by Justice McGowan,
Justice Mclver dissenting. ^ *
? )
? The Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette intimates
very strongly that the death of Mr.
Hendricks was due to malpractice on the
part of the attending physician. Mr. Hendrick's
illness, it says, began with a chill
caused by his going out to a reception in
thinner clothes than he was accustomed to
wear. "But the strangest thing is the treatment
he received. Here was a man without
an ounce of superfluous flesh, or a drop of
blood to spare, subjected to bleeding because
he had an acute pain in his stomach. We
thought people had, since George Washington
was bled to death, learned better than

reduce inflammatory action. Is there any 4,
scientifically educated physician of con- N
siderable experience who does not think
that the bleeding of the Vice-President was
the cause of his death?" The CommercialGazette
is not an authority in medical matters,
but its criticism in this instance is
likely to lead to an interesting discussion.
