& L., and S. A. L. railroads, starts on
next Tuesday. Captain Ramseur. has
been running an excursion to Whining
ton every summer for several years,
but he thinks that the one just at
hand will be the most successful Of all.
BY Way of Correction.
1t is but fair to say that reference
to the manuscript of Taxpayers ORR
giual communication, elsewhere re-
ferred to, develops the fact that it was
So, 800 instead of $4,000 that he wanted
the people of Yorkville to pay for the
graded school building. With this
correction, the controversy is now
placed squarely on its merits.
Two Negroes Killed.
A drummer, who came to Yorkville
yesterday from Chester, brought a
story to the effect that two Negroes
were killed at Smiths Turnout by the
c., C. & A. train, last Wednesday
night. He says that party of four
Negroes went to sleep on the track
and when the train came along, two
were killed and two escaped. We
have not been able to learn any fur
ther particulars.
Why Sheep Are Getting Scarcer.
Referring TO the fact that the records
show steady annual decrease in this
county, a prominent farmer, who has
had some experience in sheep raising,
suggests that the decrease is probably
due to the depredations of dogs. We
are hardly prepared to accept this ex-
planation for obvious reasons; but
think it more likely that the decrease
is due to very common belief that
the business is Improbable.
No Quorum.
A called meeting of the county board
of commissioners was to have been
held last Wednesday but for lack of a
quorum it failed to materialize. There
were present Messrs. II. A. Gwinn, J.
L. Moore, R. E. Porter, J. S. Brice and
Supervisor Stevenson. 1t takes six
members to make a quorum. The
principal business to have come before
the meeting was the auditing of &C.
counts, especially those in connection
with the recent term of court.
