of the bets. are even. The hat, cigar, and
other similar wagers, are to be counted
by the score.
Large and Well-Behaved.
Many people noted the fact that the
crowd in town last Monday was one Of
the largest that has been seen here on
salesday during the year. 1t was also one
of the most orderly crowds. There was
some liquor in evidence; but not much,
and there were no arrests by the police.
In Glenn & Allison's and Dobson's hitch
ing lots, horse-swappers did thriving
business.
All Here.
Defendants and witnesses in the Will
liams tragedy were on hand last Monday.
Mrs. Anderson and Daniel Luckie, two
Of the defendants, and Mrs. Galloway, a
sister of Mrs. Anderson, and Mrs. Patter-
son, her mother, are at the Parish hotel.
Mr.. Reese is stopping elsewhere. 1t was
at first thought that the trial would prob
ably come on Thursday; but now the in
dications are that it will moi be reached
before next Monday, though, Of course,
1t may come up at almost any time during
the present week.
Second Crop Grapes.
Mr.. R. M. Sherer of the Sharon neigh
borhood, has handed The ENQUIRER q
small bunch of perfectly developed
grapes. They are Of large size; but as
to what variety he does not know. The
vine was raised from cutting that was
sent to him by Congressman Hepphill.
The first crop was unusually abundant,
and for the second crop, which is light,
Mr.. Sherer has no explanation except
that possibly it might have been an abb
normal development, caused by an injury
to the vine some months back.
Meeting Was Not Held.
At the last meeting of the county board
Of commissioners, it was proposed to hold
In the courthouse on salesday, public
meeting for the purpose Of taking steps
for the incorporation Of the Kings
Mountain Monumental association" The
meeting, however, failed to materialize.
Shortly after the auction sales were COM
pleted, those standing around were invited
into the courthouse; but only few res
ponded, and nothing was done. Wheth-
er the trouble was due to the failure of
the supervisor to properly advertise the
matter, or to a general lack of interest, is,
of course. only matter Of speculation.
How It Was Out West.
Mr.. r. T. Allison returned last Friday
from trip to st. Louis, during which he
stopped out in Kentucky and passed
throught the states of Indiana and Illi-
nois. He talks Interestingly of what he
saw out there. Business was paralyzed
almost completely and everything was
politics. The only thing that he had ever
seen which seemed and even suggested
similar state of affairs, was the famous
1876 campaign in South Carolina, and
that was hardly circumstance. The gen.
eral impression among all the people Mr..
Allison saw, Republicans and Democrats
alike, was that all the states mentioned
would surely 60 for Bryan.
Broken on o Wheel.
Mr.. A. II. Merritt of Fort Mill town.
ship, informs US of horrible accident
that occurred to Master Arch Robinson,
aged IA, just across the York county line
in North Carolina, on October %. Young
Robinson, who is a son of Mr.. James
Robinson, of the Steel Creek neighbor-
hood, was trying to put the belt on the
pulley to the cotton press. In some way
he was caught and carried up to one Of
the driving wheels, where his body was
knocked against the timbers at fearful
rate. His mother, who happened to see
him from above, shut off the water, and
when he was rescued from his fearful
position, it was found that one arm was
broken in three places and one leg was
broken at the thigh. 1t was necessary to
amputate the arm; but the leg will pro-
bably be saved. At last accounts the
young man was still living and there was
hope of his recovery.
Strictly n.Partissn.
Mr.. q. G. Parish, proprietor Of the
Parish hotel, is a pretty rabid silverite;
but Mrs. Parish is strictly non-partisan.
AS an evidence of it, she had the dining
room tables decorated yesterday, some
with white chrysanthemums, indicating
silver and others with yellow chrysan-
themums, indicating gold. She said
nothing about the significance Of the dec
orations until it was discovered by the
guests, and then, in the good humored
jokes that followed, attention was called
to the tact that Solicitor Henry had cho-
sen one of the gold tables. Mr.. Henry
appeared to be very much chagrined at
having been inadvertently caught; but
stoutly maintained that he was one of
the first free silverites in this congress
ional district.
