THE CHESTER AND LENOIR.

In their plan for the reorganization OF
the old Richmond and Danville system,
DreXel, Morgan IL Co. described the Ches-
ter and Lenoir property, which was then
q part of the system, as a marrow gauge
road that did not even pay operating ex-
penses." The last issue Of The Manufac-
turers' Record contains the following,
which seems to show matters up in rath-
er different light:
The progress made by the Chester and
Lenoir company in placing it in better
financial and physical condition during
the last year has been very gratifying:
AS readers of The Manufacturers Record
are aware, this road was not included in
the Southern system, although a portion
of the old Richmond and Danville. The
claim was made that its earnings were not
sufficient to pay the interest OIL its lndebt-
edness, or even its operating expenses,
and the security-holders were forced to
take charge of the property and operatelt.
The business Of the year, however, has
been so good that not only has the compa-
ny earned its operating expenses, but has
repaired and painted its entire passenger
e0mipment during the past summer. 1t
has also recently added to its equipment
three Savage engines, two tirst-class
coaches, two combination baggage and
passeng or cars, IL box cars and 10 flat cars;
Two new depots have been erected, and
several miles of track relaid with new
rails. The company is comprised Of local
railroad men, with Mr.. q. w. F. Harper,
of Lenoir, n c., president. The road is
narrow gauge, extending from Chester, ;.
c., to LenOir, \. Co., lO9 miles. This
shows how local freight and passenger
traffic DAYS.

UNCLE ROBIN LOVE.

THE ENQUIRER had a pleasant pop call
on Monday from Mr.. Robert Love, who
is familiarly known as "Cncle Robln,'
and who is in many respects one OF the
most remarkable men in York county.
The old gentleman is so years OF age; nut
does not look it by easy 20 ears, while III
point of intellect, he is still as quick and
bright as most men of 30.
~ haven't got long to stay" said Uncle
Robin, when asked to have seat. My
granddaughter is waiting for me, and l
promised to be back at II o'clock. Today
is the first time I have been out OF the
house for siX weeks-been laid up with
that old snakebite again-and Thought 1
would come in and pay my subscription.
have been taking THE ENQUIRER over
10 years, and used to read Old Man
Johnnie CRISIS paper long before IHE
ENQUIRER was published"
Mr.. Love is well known to all the older
citizens, especially in the western section
of the county. He now lives with his SON.
in-law, Mr.. j. w. Love, out on the Char
lotte road, about three miles from York
Vile; but until about year ago, hved OH
the old homeplace, on Clark's Fork,
which has decended to him through faith
er and grandfather, both Of whom lived
and died there. The place is not great
way from Kings Mountain battle ground
and Uncle Robin first heard of the
battle from the lips of participants and
others, who, on the homestead premises,
heard the volleys Of musketry and the
wild shouts of the combatants. Had he
not been pressed for time, he would have
no doubt told the reporter some interest
ing stories.
Notwithstanding his great age, Mr..
Love has only one noticeable intirmity,
and that is physical. While returning to
his home from bath one evening at
about dusk in June 1850, monster pilot
snake sprang up in his path and fastened
its tangs in the calf ofhis left leg. WITHIN
a few minutes he was all but unconscious,
and his life was despaired Of for weeks.
He was finally able to get on his feet again
but has never recovered from the wound.
To this day his left leg, from the knee
down is in badly festered condition, and
on account of it, he is every once in a
while compelled to take to his bed for
long periods.
But, all the same Uncle Robin is inter-
esting company. He bears his atfliction
with but little complaint. His memory
reaches back to period that is mere ira
dition to most of the present generation,
and one of his greatest delights is to spin
out wisdom that is born of experience,
and absolutely reliable local history by
the yard to an appreciative listener. THE
ENQUIRER enjoyed his short visit and was
sorry that he did not have more time.

piled obligation that the government

piled obligation that the government
will pay gold
make no mistake about that, gen.
tlemen,' replied Mr.. Manning. "The
law says 'coin,' and the treasury will
exercise its undoubted prerogative.'
"That ended the gold raiding. The
government won its point just as soon
as the secretary of the treasury show
ed that he had backbone.
"Secretary Carlisle is in an impreg-
nable position at this moment. He
has the whole country ready to aid
him if he is in earnest. He knows
and every authority upon the subject
in Washington declares that the banks
of the country, not to say the bankers,
would not dare to let the gold reserve
be exhausted.
"It would instantly destroy hun
dreds of millions by shrinkage in
values. Mr.. Carlisle knows this. Yet
in the secret places of the treasury
department are cunning men who are
doing their utmost to defeat the ad-
ministration. They are doing the
work of the gold ring, and are doing it
very clumsily."

There is no doubt of the fact that the
present ~ mill State levy will have to be
greatly increased by the legislature. The
revenue from phosphate royalties which,
a few years ago, amounted to something
like $500, 900 per annum, has so dwindled
that it is hardly sufficient for the require
ments of the sinking fund. The dispen-
sary earnings must hereafter be !:sed for
educational purposes, and ,tEere is no 9TH
er way for it but that tie deficiency must
be met by increased taxation. This in
creased r. ation will probably take the
form of an assessment on incomes or Ii
cense on various kinds Of businesses or
both. If the necessary funds are raised
by direct taxation, the levy for the State
and educational purposes alone will not
be less than 10 mills on the dollar, or
per cent. The levy for county and other
purposes will have to come on in addition.

ed meeting of the school trustees OF the

and it is of great Importance to the public

The call for registration of the teachers

prompt response. Already about ~
teachers, including white and colored,
male and female, have sent in their names
for registration, and more letters are COM
ing in by every mail. BY the end of the

The Small PoN Canard.
The Gastonia Gazette of last Thursday
contains an article that completely
disposes of the small poX rumor as
affecting that place The Gazette's story
is the same as that published i'll The
ESou1RER Of Wednesday, except that
the name of the man about whom the
rumor was occasioned is given. Mr.. Ed

He is now sound and well, and the whole

Cost of the Exposition.
The Gazette estimates that the Atlanta
exposition cost CASTOR county about
81 900. THE ENQUIRER is unable to give
exact figures as to how much the eNposi-
ton cost this county. 1t is pretty well
satisfied, however, that the total attend

thinks it would be pretty safe to put the
average expense of each individual at
about 3d. At this rate the exposition
cost the county about 10000.

SECOND PRIZE.

The News and Courier published the
result of its prize pig contest last Monday.
TO the disappointment of many in this
section, who were very much interested.
York does not win the first prize; but she
did not miss it far. Mr.. J. Morgan Leech's S
Fanny" came out Il good second.
How many entries there were in the
race originally is not stated. Some drop
ped out, however others failed to COM
ply with all the conditions, and only 70
remained to the end of the contest. Of
these the successful man was Mr.. w. j..
Richardson, Of Abbcvile. His pig was
born on February %, and was from
Berkshire SOW by Il Poland China boar.
On the 18th Of December, the pig was 29I
DAYS old and it weighed 59l pounds. The
total cost of the pig was S22.l6, and the
gain was l.99 pounds a day, al net cost
of 81 cents Il pound. Mr.. Richardson will
receive as prize $50 in gold.
Mr.. Leech's pig WAS of the Ohio I'M

pounds, showing net gain in weight ut
the rate of l.93 pounds a day. The total
cost of the pig was Sl663, or 3.l4 cents

TRAGEDY AT HENRIETTA.

Mr.. Edward Thomas, of Blacksburg,
informed THE ENQUIRER on Saturday OF
a horrible tragedy that occurred at Henri
etta station, y. c., on Friday afternoon,
resulting in the death Of a mother and
daughter.
It seems that Mrs. Knaipe, accompa-
MED by her two daughters, had come
down on the o. R. T. c. to Henrietta, with
the intention of taking a hack at that place
for Henrietta mills, about four miles dis
tant. AS soon as the train stopped, they
got into the hack, and the driver got ready
to start. In the meantime, the train
had commenced shifting, and the conduc-
tor advised the hackman not to attempt to
cross the track for few moments, as such
an attempt would be rather risky. The
hackman paid no attention to the warn
ing and tried to go across anyway. Just
as the vehicle reached the point of danger,
the two sections of the train came together,
and smashed the hack into splinters.
The hackman saved himself by jump
ing; but Mrs. knaipe and the elder
daughter were crushed under the wheels.
The elder daughter was killed instantly
and Mrs. Knaipe lived about two hours.
The younger daughter was thrown under
one of the cars but was rescued before
she sustained any serious injury.
The three women were on their way 10
Henrietta for the purpose Of working in
the cotton factory there. Mrs. knaipe
leaves five little children. The railroad
authorities instituted an investigation as
soon as possible after the occurrence OF
the tragedy; but the result has not been
reported.

Wednesday, january l5, 1896.

FayssOux was daughter of Mr.. O. w.
Davis, of Gastona but has been living in
Charlotte with her husband for several
years past. She was woman of admir-
able disposition and was the centre of
large circle of friends both in Charlotte and
Gastonia. She leaves seven children, the
oldest about l6 years of age.
1t Has Seen Service.
Gastona Gazette Mr.. Robert j. Craig
is storekeeper and gauger, and for about
ID months has been riding muleback six
times a week to and from Mr.. Frank
Rhymes distillery, four miles from town.
He rides a Mexican saddle that has
certainly seen some service. 1t was
bought by Mr.. Craig 32 years ago of the
late Robinson Ratchford, of Iorkville.
1t has been in constant use ever since,
and Mr.. Craig says that it rides better
than half of the new tangled saddles of
today.
Appointed Postmaster.
Mr. f. f. Poag has been appointed
postmaster at Rock Hill, vice Colonel
G.. J. Pride, whose term of office expired
on Thursday, the 9th instant. Colonel
Pride was appointed postmaster four
years ago by President Harrison, and
turned the office over to Mr.. Poag, his
on-in-law, who has since been running
it as assistant postmaster. When his
term expired, he failed to apply for
re-appointment; but left the matter to
Mr.. Poag, who, backed by large number
of the prominent business men of Rock
Hill and the assistance Of Congressman
Strait, has found no trouble in getting the
position. The understanding is that Mr..
Poag's appointment gives general satis-
faction.
How 1t Works.
Chief of Police Love has found the own
er of the stray mule that he advertised in
last Wednesdays edition of The EN-
oU1RER. The mule belonged to Mr.. Sid
ney Robertson, Of Edgmoor. Mr.. Rob-
ertson does not happen to be a subscriber
to THE ENQUIRER; but it seems that that
fact did not prevent him from learning
the whereabouts of his mule. Some friend
who knew Of bis loss is either subscrib-
er or n reader of THE ENQUIRER, saw the
advertisement, and put him on the track
of the missing animal. AS we have taken
occasion to remark more than once before,
if you have a message that you are certain
is of interest to somebody; but don't know
who that somebody is, the best thing to do
is to publish that message in THE EN-
QUIRER. If the man you want is in this
country THE ENQUIRER will find him.
He Was Sleepy.
While working on his books last
Monday night at about 9 O'Clock, MIR.
John NJ. Hope heard Il noise in the store
that sounded like snoring. At first he
thought it was dog. Investigation re-
vealed a Negro man lying among some
boxes sound asleep. The Negro was
awakened rather roughly and asked to
explain his conduct. He said that he had
come from McConnellsville, was very
tired and sleepy, and came into the store
to rest His manner and looks seemed to
corroborate his words, and although Mr..
Hope had. previously entertained the
suspicion that the fellow had been trying
to get locked up in the store for the
purpose of robbery, he allowed him to
depart in peace.
