ROCK HILL HAPPENINGS.

About the Weather-Strawberry Treat-Me-
mortal Day at Ebenezer-The Thermal
City Trip.
Correspondence of the Yorkvile Enquirer.
Rock HILL, May 13.-Without know
ing it to be true, we will take it for grant
ed that the weather in Yorkville has
been just as hot as it has been here
in Rock Hill, and that is saying a
great deal. If the fat turkeys have not
had their feathers to fall out from the
heat during the past week, they may
consider themselves safe.
The young ladies Of Winthrop college
have been favored with a treat to straw
berries by a number of gentlemen near
Charleston; the cold storage company
and express company aided by making
no charge; the result was that these
favored ones were called OH to destroy
4S0 quarts of very fine berries, for which
they made very happy response by
resolutions adopted in mass meeting. 1t
may be said here that Mr.. Buist has
made provision tor home supply next
year.
Rev. Alexander Sprunt left home, by
way of Catawba Junction, this morning
for his trip to Scotland. No arrangement
has been made for supplying his church
during his absence.
The Ebenezer Memorial association had
their usual exercises on Monday. There
was large crowd present, and as there al
ways is, much appreciation of the services.
The principal address was delivered by
Hon. w. ID. Trantham, of Camden. This
was much enjoyed, was well delivered
and showed much thought. 1t was de-
cided some years ago to have OH these oc-
casions some one to represent the SONS OF
the Confederates. On this occasion this
this duty was performed by Mr.. George
White Witherspoon, a son Of Captain
John c. Witherspoon, who was citizen

ter, that unique and simple system OF
plantation bookkeeping of which so
many hundred have been sold in this

hoped that by the time the business of the

permanently. That this delightful old
town is without an equal in the South as a

rope and after going about so yards, came
running back and said: DO what you

particulars by his brother, VIM. Hollis.
Several othen witnesses were put up TO
testify as to the presence Of the gang OF
whitecappers in the neighborhood on the
night in question but the other witnesses
were unable to identify any of the parties.
After due consideration Magistrate Howe
decided to discharge John w. Smith and
Ernest Napper, against whom there had
been no testimony, and to bind the others
over to court, on the charge of assault
with deadly weapons.
The defendants were not exactly pleased
with the result. Some Of those who were
bound over did not like it about the dis
charge of Smith and Napier, and the re-
suit was a quarrel, which lasted all the
way from the Office of the magistrate and
grew worse as the party neared Yorkville.
When they reached point opposite the
residence of Dr.A. Y. Cartwright on Kings
Mountain street, they decided to get out
of their buggies and fight it out. For
awhile they were engaged in regular
rough and tumble. 1t is reported that one
man was knocked down three times.
Several knives were drawn and it began to
look as if there was going to be. some
bloodshed. The trouble was finally quiet
ed, however, before anybody was serious
ly hurt.
