WOMB AFFECT THE SCHOOL.

The announcement that Rev. w. j.
Langston is to leave Yorkville has arous-
ed considerable concern as to the future
the Baptist High school. Mr.. Langston
has been wheelhorse in the establish
ment and maintenance of the institution,
and there are those who fear that on ac-
count of his removal from Yorkville the
school will suffer. Mr.. Langston has
heard reports of this kind and they have
annoyed him. He said to THE ENQUI-
RER yesterday:
"Why the condition of the Baptist High
school is better than it has ever been since
it's establishment. 1t is established now.
It is under capable and efficient manage
ment, and is able to stand alone. I can
say, with great deal of assurance, that
on the lst of January next, the purchase
price will either be paid in full or satis-
factorily arranged for. The school is not
now dependent on any one man. People
have thought and said with almost every
change, that the institution was crippled ;
but it seems that instead of its being Grip
pied, it's condition has constantly been
DettereQ. IL can alreacy De clhSStu
among the leading high schools Of this
section, and it has only begun to grow"
We are prepared to take Mr.. Langston
at just what he says. There is no doubt
ofthe fact that he has done great deal OF
work for the Baptist High school, and he,
more than any other one man. is respOn-
sible for its present flourishing condition;
but his work has not been of a temporary
character. 1t has been permanent. With
the splendid backing that has been work
ed up for it, the school is really able to
stand alone; but even if it were not, the
situation is not gloomy. One of the best
things that Mr.. Langston has done was to
have Messrs. Petty and Gresham put in
charge. They are both experienced educa-
tors and business men of fine ability.
They could build up school without any
help. With the help they have had
they can't fail to make the institution not
only credit to themselves; but also to
all the Baptist associations under whose
auspices it is being conducted

r. LEE KERR, CASHIER.

The Rock Hill Herald, of Wednesday,
announces the resignation Of Mr.. j. NJ.
Cherry as cashier of the Savings Bank OF
Rock Hill, and the election in his place OF
Mr.. r. Lee Kerr, at present teller for the
First National bank.
Mr.. Cherry was induced to resign on
account Of his health. He had been
confining himself so closely to business
for many years past that a relaxation
became absolutely necessary. The direc-
tors tried most earnestly to get him to
reconsider his action. He had done more
than any other one man in building up
the business Of the bank to its present
fiourishing condition, and everybody in
terested was anxious for him to remain at
the helm. But he considers relief indis-
pensable, and on the first Of January he
will retire.
Had the retirement of Mr.. Cherry been
announced without the name of his sue
cessor, there would have been many to
believe that the immediate future OF the
bank was in a bad way. But there has
been no time for the growth of such an
impression. The directors have supplied
the vacancy before the public had time to
realize that it existed. Mr.. r. Lee Kerr
commenced with the First National bank
at the time of its organization, in 1887, as
outdoor clerk. He was afterward elected
bookkeeper, and since 1890 he has been
teller. He understands the banking busi-
ness thoroughly, has to an eminent degree
the qualifications necessary to make it a
success, and those who know him haven't
a doubt but that he will continue the
splendid record of the bank from where
Mr.. Cherry leaves off, and without a
break

DRUNK AND DISORDERLY.

State Constable VIM. White was fined
$40 by Intendant Moore yesterday for he
ing drunk and disorderly on the streets OF
Yorkville. The facts are about as follows
While walking along the streets We'd
nesday, Constable White came upon a
Negro named George Blair, and told the
Negro to consider himself under arrest.
Blair was not cogniZant of having done
anything to be arrested for and resist
ed. Constable White drew his pistol
with the remark that he would as liei
kill Negro as to eat, and made such a
demonstration as to impress Blair with
the idea that it would be prudent to
submit. The attention of Policeman
Love, was called to the matter and
he took White in charge, allowing Blair
to 60 about his business.
Constable White, who was very much
intoxicated, was committed to the GALA
boose but after a short time was released
on bond of S25. He pledged his horse
to secure his appearance. He had hear
ing on yesterday, and admitted that he
was intoxicated on Wednesday; but in
extenuation of his conduct, explained
that he had attempted to arrest the Negro,
Blair, as an escaped convict of whom he
thought he had description. TO prove
what he said, he produced list Of the es-
capes from the penitentiary.
After due consideration Of all the cir
cumstances, especially the irresponsible
condition of the constable at the time the
offense was committed, Intendant Moore
arrived at the conclusion that the incident
constituted most dangerous breach OF
the peace, and imposed fine OF $40.

ROCK HILL HAPPENINGS.

Methodist Congre ss-still Working for

CORRESPONDENCE of the Iorkville Enquirer.
Rock HILL, December 3.-For the past
few days, every train has brought in
Methodist ministers by the wholesale, and
the town has been turned over to their
tender (?) mercies. Rev. Jesse Clifton
ectured to Il large and appreclatlVe audi
ence at the Methodist church last night.
Conference will be formally opened to-
night, and work will at once commence.
We will attempt to give the proceedings
in next WEDNEsDAY'S ENQUIRER.

winter seems to have commenced IN ear

selves as enjoying their trip to Atlanta

Rock Hill has not given up her struggle
for new county. She ought to have 1t,
if it is to be had. When she proposes TO
build her own court house, Jail etc., with
out taxing the people, what could be
fairer? And what wonder that the coun-
try interested is almost unanimous for
new county. The only drawback we see
is we could never get up a decent criminal
docket.
A choked-up stove tiue caused false
alarm of fire to be sounded Sunday. The

filled for business.
The show advertised for this place lues-

fractions were Punch and Judy. sleight

The News and Courier of last Tuesday
contains an interesting sketch of Method
ism in South Carolina, by Rev. DIR. S. A.
Weber, of Yorkville. The sketch begins
with the first South Carolina conference,
which was held in Charleston, in March,
1857, and brings the history and de-
velopment of the church down to the
present day, and is illustrated with por-
traits of a number of leading Methodists
in the South, including Bishop Galloway,
Rev. H. C. Morrison, Sadi H. Brown, j..
O. Wilson, Samuel Lander and others. 1t
has been long time since a newspaper
article Of more value to the subject treated
has come under our observation. The au-
thor has evidently bestowed on the work
an immense amount of labor and care,
and as the result, that which was no
doubt originally intended only to be a
newspaper article of passing interest, is
really most valuable contribution to the
history of South Carolina Methodisln. A
copy of Tuesdays News and Courier
should be filed away among the most val
ued literary treasures of every Methodist
family in the State.
