proof that such will be the case is the great
scarcity of money. And there is no hope OF
any material increase in the supply, until the
new crop of cotton is ready for the market.
Business will be done principally on credit
basis for several months. Merchants do not
take very kindly to this arrangement, but
they are painfully aware of the fact that this
is about the only way that they can sell any
goods.
DR.. Miller, surgeon from Philadelphia,
of considerable note, was, according to ap-
pointment, at the Railroad Hotel on Thurs
day and Friday. He was consulted, profes.
sionally, by number of persons. Among
these was Mr.. I. Med. Hood, who had with
him his little son, who was dreadfully injured,
few months ago, by becoming entang led in
the machinery of cotton gin while in mo-
ton. After examining the boy, DR.. Miller
remarked, substantially, that with proper
treatment the case was durable. With this
assurance Mr.. Hood placed his son in the
hands of the Philadelphia doctor. 1t is to
be hoped that the treatment will be entirely
successful.
The Lee Light Infantry, Capt. j. K. Mar
shall commanding, paraded on Friday after.
noon. After executing, very creditably, sew
eral evolutions on Main street, they marched
to the Green, where they spent an hour or so
in drilling. The Company presented fine
appearance. At night business meeting of
the Company was held, which was we'll at
tended and quite harmonious. Mr. W. E.
Walker was chosen to fill the vacancy in the
Office of Third Lieutenant. Mr.. W. |. Claw
son was elected Secretary and Treasurer in
the place of G. T. Schorb, resigned. With
the view of making a few dollars to cancel a
small Indebtedness, the Company decided up
on running an excursion train to Gastonia on
the End of May. The cost for the round trip
from this place to Gastonia will be one dol
lar. From intermediate points the rate will
be proportionately lessened. Those of our
friends who have not seen the mountains, will
certainly embrace the opportunity offered at
that time. And those who have seen the
mountains, with their magnificent scenery,
especially attractive in May, will be amply
repaid for making second trip. Moreover,
our young men would like to see the noun
tain girls, and our young girls would proba-
bly, like to see the mountain boys. So let
everybody, who can conveniently leave home,
Join in the excursion ride to Gastonia on the
End of May. In addition to being assured
of delightful time, they will have the salts
faction of aiding in relieving Chesters crack
Company of their Indebtedness.
Sheriff Walker will sell, on the 1st Monday
in May, the beautiful place, on the suburbs OF
town, once occupied by the late G. w. Mel.
ton, deceased. There are over one hundred
acres of land included in the place to be sold.
The sale will be made for the foreclosure of
mortgage. A tract of land containing about
six hundred acres and belonging to Mrs. Ju'
liza Hardin, will be sold on next saleday.
This land lies within a few miles of Rossville.
There is also another tract of several hun
dred hundred acres, belonging to the estate of
Thomas Adams, deceased, to be sold
Rev. DR.. Meynardie, Presiding Elder of
this District, preached yesterday at the Meth
odist Church, morning and evening. Rev.
Mr.. Trenholm filled the Presbyterian pulpit.
Mr.. G. P. Barnett, of this place, departed
this life at an early hour this morning His
death is said to have been occasioned by an
immoderate use Of morphine.
The decision of Judge Hudson refusing to
grant the injunction forbidding the sale, ne
gotiation, or disposition in any way, of York
county bonds held by certain parties, gave
great satisfaction here. The opinion prevails
that the York county and Chester county
bonds rest upon pretty much the same basis
that if the former should be declared null
and void, the same result will eventually be
reached in regard to the latter. So the joy
aud gladness occasioned by Judge Hudson 8
decision can be easily accounted for. 1t is
we'll known that the Chester and Lenoir
Railroad was built by the people to escape
the oppression and grinding exactious of a
Company controlled by Northern capitalists,
and now that the people have enjoyed, for
several years, the benefits of this escape, they
are determined that their enjoyment, in this
way, shall be permanent. Those who would
strike down the Chester and Lenoir Railroad
by destroying its bonds, strike at the rights
of the people, and at the hands of the peo
pie they are sure to suffer. The public in
dgnation will ever rest upon those who, for
the purpose of putting a few dollars into
their pockets, would cripple and destroy a
great public enterprise. Such persons will
be sure to see the day that money made in
this way was made at tremendous cost.
They would be wise if they would listen to
the voice of the people. 1t certainly speaks
in thunder tones, though they may not hear,
or care not to hear it,
The Democratic Club of Rich Hill met on
Saturday. The proceedings we're not mark
ed with very great degree of harmony. An
election for President of the Club excited
considerable warmth among the members.
Mr.. John Knox, who filled the Office during
the last campaign, was candidate for reelec
ton. The friends of Dr. JAS Heath placed
him in nomination. The former was elected
by very small majority. Another exhibi-
tion of difference of opinion was manifested
in the disposition made of series of resolu-
tions endorsing Governor Hampton and his
administration. There were those who op-
posed the adoption of the resolutions for the
singular reason that it was too early to begin
the campaign. Strange as it may seem, those
of this way of thinking we're in the majority.
1t appears to me that the endorsement Of
Hampton and the great work he has accom-
plished is, or should be, in order at any time.
and at all times-before, during, and after
the campaign. 1t is to be hoped that our
Rich Hill friends will reconsider their action
in refusing their endorsement of the Hamp-
ton resolutions. The Democracy of our coun-
ty and State should, with one voice, give
their hearty approval of what the noble
Hampton has done.
The Lowrysville Democratic Club met and
reorganized on Saturday. DR.. A. F. Auder-
son was elected President, and Mr.. Robert
Hope Vice. President of the Club. Mr..
James Darby was elected Secretary. The
