Robert White, son Of ex-C Constable Will
liam White, fell off his wagon Saturday
and was run over. Young White was
hauling lumber, and at the time Of the
unfortunate occurrence, had on 800 feet Of
green pine lumber. The wagon passed en-
tirely over his body, and narrowly miss
ed his head, which would, have caused
death but as it is, the poor boy, is confin-
ed to his bed, painfully, and seriously
injured, and attended by his sympathiz-
ing friends.
The many friends of Mr.. w. j. Moor
head will be glad to hear he has about
recovered from his measles, and is able
to be up and about the store again, "Wat"
is hustler, and kinder and more con-
genial gentleman cannot be found, so we
are glad to welcome him among the liv-
ing again.
Messrs. Whisonant & Castles, an enter
prising firm of our little city, have
purchased the ''E. S. Thomson place."
on the Yorkville road.
Sad, indeed, shall be the news to many,
that Mr.. Hence Broome is dangerously
ill at the home Of his son, and is not
expected to live. Mr.. Broome is an old,
true and brave Confederate soldier. He
was color bearer for the Seventeenth s. C.
regiment, and from first to last, noted for
his bravery and heroism.
On last Saturday morning, a novel
scene was witnessed at Howelps ferry.
1t was the Fowler Bros shipping 10 bales
of cotton to Lockhart on flat. The load
ing and management of the flat was under
Mr.. Lancaster, the efficient gentleman
from Spartanburg county, who has had
charge of rafting the lumber down the
river, through the summer. Everything
went through without hitch, and so the
first of the many loads has gone to the
great Lockhart mills.
Some folks would like to hear who the
candidates are for supervisor of registra-
ton.
Your correspondent accepts, without
murmur, the explanation of the editor to
the mixture of letters'' in last weeks
ENQUIRER. But we feel that we owe

on his interesting letter, and this we
extend to the gentleman, hoping such a
mistake shall not occur again. To the
Intelligent compositor," we would say:
"It's all right, old boy. We know you
have no grudge against us Except for
writing fable), and further, we know to
err is human, etc. GO your way and sin
no more.'"
