On New Power Press.
The Gastonia Gazette announces
that it will get out today's issue on a
new power press. This is an indica-
ton of prosperity that is indeed credi-

Gazette is good newspaper and that
it should prosper is not surprising.

vile cemetery with the convict force,

Reduction In the Use Of Fertilizers.
Mr.. J. T. Wilson, of Hoodtown, was
in THE ENQUIRER Office on Monday.

large quantity in his section, it is moth

Trade Getting Better.

popular hardware salesman, was IN
Yorkville last Friday and Saturday.
He stated that of late the hardware
trade has been picking up wonder
fully and it is now as good as it has
been at this time for several seasons.
This information coming as it does
from reliable source, is encouraging.
The hardware trade furnishes one of
the best known indexes to the general
condition of business.
Woman Suffragsts.
- We are informed that Miss Eliza
beth Z. Yates, the woman suffrage
lecturer from Maine, will be in York
vile tomorrow, and at 8 p. NJ, will
deliver a lecture in the court house.
Everybody is invited. Miss Yates is
described in the papers as an unusual
ly bright woman, and people who
have no sympathy for her cause, will
be entertained and probably some
what edited at what she will have to
say.
Dispensary Earnings.
The dispensary sales at Tirzah and
Blacksburg, for the month of April,
amounted to S1S5. 2S. Ofthis amount,
not less than $50 will be required to
pay all expenses, including clerk hire,
rent, insurance, expenses of the board
of control, etc. The balance left is
500. Half of this goes to the State,
the other halfgoes equally to the towns
and the county, leaving the latter S25,
which is small pay for maintaining a
nuisance.
Caught Him.
George Short, the Negro who is ac-
cused of having been one of the princi-
pals in the recent robberies and bur-
glaries at Blacksburg, was committed
tojail by Trial Justice Camp last Mon
day, and with him was committed
Matt Colvin, charged with concealing
and disposing of stolen goods. There
is good reason to believe that Short
knows more than he will tell about
the attempted assassination of Night
Oporotor VIII Stewart on the NIGHT
