Delegates to Presbytery-Interesting Tent
Meeting-The Now Cotton Milis-The
Election. 81
Correspondence Of the Yorkvills Enquirer.
Rock HILL, September 10.-The First
Presbyterian church has selected Captain
A. E. Smith as its representative to the
next meeting of Presbytery. This is at
Bethel in this county. Captain E. r.
Mills is alternate; and as Captain Smith
is now in the northern markets he will
very probably be called on to attend.
The day before the organization of pres
bytery there will be convention of Sab
bath school workers at the same place.
Delegates will be sent from all the schools
here, though they have not been named
yet.
The tent meeting now being conducted
in our midst by Rev. T. G. Ligon, of the
Methodist church, is attracting much at
tention. Mr.. Ligon is being assisted by
Rev. R. A. Young. Large congregations
attend every night.
Mr.. R. T. Fewell has at his store some
cloth made by the Arcade mill, of which
he is president. They have running now
all their spindles, 5000, and 40 looms. In
about q week the whole number of
looms-l6O-will be going. The Arcade
will make specially of 40 inch sheeting
of fine quality.
Mr.. J. r. Barron of the Manchester
mill, says he will be running in about a
week. The Manchester has 5000 spindles
and 100 looms. Their specially will be a
fine grade of brown goods. Both mills
are equipped with machinery of the
latest and most improved style from en-
CINE to loom, and each has at its head an
active, energetic and clear headed young
man. Why can not every town in South
Carolina have such enterprises?
Interest in the election is fast fading
away in memory. Before Tuesday it was
considered almost certain that the coat
tail so prominently Haunted during late
campaigns, could no longer bear the strain
the noble owner placed on them. A
good many gave their interest and atten-
ton to make the matter sure, while some,
with magnificent confidence in their
Moses, went blindly to the aid of his
choice. Whether they are wiser is not
sure; but certain it is, they're sadder.
They don't think the boys done Evans
right" From the result of this election,
it looks as if Rock Hill would be COM
PEELED to secure new county if ever she
hopes to furnish county official.
R. n. Mccain of Camden, fiagman on
the o. R. & c. railroad was seriously
hurt today. This was his first trip out on
the freight train and he was sent back to
flag the passenger train. AS he stepped
on the engine his foot slipped under the
tender and was caught and crushed by
the wheels. The accident occurred near
Catawba Junction and the injured man
was brought here for treatment. His leg
was so badly crushed just above the ankle
that amputation will be necessary.
Even this late in the season, applica-
tions are coming in thick and fast for
room in Winthrop. Already great
number has been enrolled, but number
of private houses have been opened for
boarders. President Johnson is doing
his best to secure board in pleasant quar-
ters for those who will not be able to
secure place in the domitory. The work
of Mr.. Buist on the grounds is making a
fine show now. The flowers, the foun-
tain and the gravelled walks with the
benefit of one seasons use, present fine
appearance. The city authorities are to
put an arc light just in front of the gate.
This will give light to the front Of the
grounds. A large barn has been built al
the farm, and it is the intention to keep
COWS enough to furnish milk to the col
lege. Last year this was bought in abun-
dance; but it was thought supply could
be had cheaper in this way. G. S.
