LOCAL LACONICS.


HousebrealsinG and Larceny.
William Massey, colored, Was COM
mitted to Jail by Trial Justice Leech,
last Saturday, on the charge of house
breaking and larceny.
Business Will be Suspended.
The business men of Yorkville have
agreed to close their stores and places
of business on the Fourth of July, and
the holiday will probably be celebrated
as each individual sees fit.
Address to the Young People.
Prot. W. S. Currell, of Davidson
college delivered an address to the
young people of Yorkvile at Trinity
church last Sunday night. He had
large audience and his address was
very much enjoyed.
Marriage This Afternoon.
Cards are out for the marriage of
Mr.. J. n. Thomasson, of Zadok, to
Miss Annie Youngblood. The mar
riage will take place at the home of
the brides father Mr.. Bruce Young
blood, this afternoon at 8 o'clock.
Prosecution Will Follow.
There was a noisy row accompanied
by some pistol firing on the grounds
of the Gold Hill colored church, three
miles northeast of Yorkville last Sun
day. The understanding is that the
disturbers of the peace will be prosecu-
ted.
At Hickory on the 18th.
The recently published statement to
the effect that the next meeting of the
stockholders of the Chester and Lenoir
railroad is to be held in Yorkvile is
incorrect. Mr.. H. H. Beard, general
freight aud passenger agent Of the
road informs us that the meeting is to
be held at Hickory on July Is.
Evidently Better.
Charles Bradshaw, the young des-
perado who was recently shot in the
hip by Trial Justice McElhaney, is
evidently getting better. The Fort
Mill correspondent of the Columbia
State says that he skipped out few
days ago and it is thought that he has
gone to North Carolina. He left Fort
Mill "between SUNS"
VIII Support the Schools.
Pursuant to the announcement OF
the board of trustees an election was
held in Yorkville last Friday to decide
whether or not the special two mill
tax for the support of the graded
schools should be continued. The vote
was small, as usual but was unani-
mously in favor of the levy.
For One Fare.
Persons living along the lines of the
o. r. & c., and the Chester and Lenoir
railroads are reminded that on the
Fourth of July round trip tickets will
be sold to all stations for one first-class
fare one way. The tickets will be on
sale on the 3rd and 4th and will be
good through the 5th. This arrange
ment will prove especially convenient
to delegates to the county conference
to be held in Yorkville and visitors to
the bicycle meet to be held in Rock
Hill.
The First Cotton Bloom.
Mr.. Robinson, the mail carrier from
YorkvilIe to Point, left the first cotton
bloom of the season at THE ENQUIRER
office last Monday. He said it was
sent by Mr.. D. C. Glenn, of Bethel,
but gave no information as to when it
was taken from the field. 1t looked
as if it might have been plucked on the
previous Saturday. Last year the
first bloom was sent in by Mr.. l.. K.
Williams, of Fodder, and was taken
from the field on June 81.
Approaching Court.
The most important cases at the ap-
preaching term of the court Of general
sessions are those against l.. Frank
Shuford, charged with criminal assault;
Wilse Montgomery and Ike Blair,
charged with the murder of Rob
Feemster; and Frank Moore, Mary
Walker and Francis Newton, charged
with the murder of John Newton.
Considerable work has been done on
both sides of the Shuford case but as
to Just how it stands we are unable to
saw. There have been no new devel-
opments in the Feemster case that ap-
pear to be worth anything; but it is
safe to promise that the Newton case
will result in disclosures rather more
far reaching than were developed at
the coroner's inquest.
For Cancer.
An important surgical operation
was attempted in Yorkville last Sat-
urday. The subject was Mary McEl-
wee, a colored woman who was
suffering from internal cancer. The
