Election on June 20.

the board of health has been called for
Saturday June 20.
Another Flower.
Mr.. q. T. Bales, of Pineville, has sent
THE ENQUIRER cotton bloom that was
plucked from the stalk on the 10th in
slant.
OF This Time.
Our Chester weather prophet has not
been keeping up his heretofore reputation
during June. We have been having much
better rains than he promised.
The National Holiday.
The Fourth of July comes on Saturday
this year and is only little more than
two weeks off. AS yet there have been
no suggestion of anykind of local eel
ebration.
Writing Up the Town.
Mr.. F. C. Withers, of the Columbia
State, has been in Yorkville for several
days securing the necessary dots prepar-
atory to writing up the town for his
paper.
Has Not Come Yet.
The law requires that Confederate pen
sions be paid on or before June Is. The
money has not been received yet. Wheth-
er it will be here by the 18th is rather
doubtful, as some of the counties have
been slow about sending in their reports.
Better Register.
With the help Of the county executive
committee, those who fail to register may
be enabled to vote in the primary but
there is in store for these people something
worse than that. After November they
will not be eligible to sit on iuries. A
great many people are averse to jury duty
but there is no citizen who would relish
the idea of being deprived of the privilege
of sitting on jury if he sees fit. Better
register.
Meeting of the Creditors.
A meeting of the creditors of the firm
of Kennedy Bros. Il Barron was held in
the office of D. f. Finley, Esq, on yester-
day, pursuant to published notice. AL
of the creditors were represented either in
person or by proxy. The creditors de-
clined to appoint an agent, and the affairs
of the assigned firm will be left entirely
under the management Of Mr.. Finley.
The liabilities, it was ascertained, amount
to about $1,000. No schedule OF assets
has yet been submitted.
Brings Rain Every Time.
The Ganson Dry Goods Company has a
way Of holding special sales, usually tor
one or two days only, and their sales are
announced by means of circul ars, giving
prices and other information. There have
been four or five such sales during the
past few months, and the last one was on
Tuesday and Wednesday. Just about the
time the sale was commenced, there was
heavy rain, and this brought to mind the
singular fact that the same thing has oc-
Cured during several similar sales. Mana
ger Jones has about come to the conclu-
sion that as rain produce, his special
sales are infallible.
Something of a Hardship.
Among other things, the new registration
law requires that voters may vote only III
the townships in which they reside. This
requirement has produced considerable
dissatisfaction in various quarters. Quite
number of Rock Hill citizens live in
Ebenezer township. Most Of them, OF
course, want to vote in Rock Hill, and
several have been so registered; but cir
cumstances may arise under which the
legality of their ballots may be question
ed. So far as the reporter has been able
to learn, there has been no similar cases in
