sALEsDAY FOR DECEMBER.

Next Monday is salesday for December,
and according to the usual run Of things
promises to be the liveliest salesday of
the year. Judging from present appear
ances, it will be typical salesday weather.
The heavy snow is melting, and by Mon
day, the mud and slush will be just about
right. The horse-swappers, of course,
will be here, and the regular traders will
be on hand also. Mr.. S. ]. Kimball, the
well-known Rock Hill trader, has already
announced, and repeats the announce
ment in today's issue, that he is going to
sell large number of horse and mules at
auction. Messrs. Glenn & Allison, of
Yorkville, will also have lot of fine
horses and mules for sale, and it is likely
that there will also be other traders in
the market. But this is not all. Clerk
Wylie has large number of choice tracts
of land to be sold under the hammer; {;
and then again the Yorkville merchants
will, as usual, offer tempting array Of
choice bargains, and perform their part
generally in making it interesting for the
visitors.

THE NEW OFFICERS.

We are unable to get any definite in.
formation as to when there will be any
changes in the county officers, as the re-
suit of the recent election.
Under the law, the newly elected officers
may qualify and take charge within &c
days after receiving official notice of their
election but as yet none of them have
received such official notice.
The probability is that Messrs. Logan
and Culp will soon be notified and duly
commissioned by Governor Evans, in
which event they will likely qualify along
about the 1st of January.
In the case Of Auditor Waters, how
ever, it will be slightly different. His
office is an appointive one, and his sue
cessor, Mr.. Williams, will have to be ap-
pointed by Governor Ellerbe. AS the
new governor cannot be inaugurated un-
til after the second week in January, the
probability is that Mr.. Waters will hold
on until about the 1st of February. In
the meantime, he will have received
most of the returns for the next years
taxes.
Mr.. Brian will likely receive his COM
mission as coroner along about the same
time that Mr.. Logan is commissioned
sheriff. In the case of Clerk Wylie,
Superintendent of Education Shurley,
and Treasurer Neely, it of course makes
no difference when the change is made,
as they hold over and will 60 on without
interruption anyway.

1T WILL BE BUILT.

There is no longer any reason to doubt
that Yorkville is to have an opera house.
The matter has been practically settled,
and now it is principally question OF
plans and suitable weather.
AS indicated in The ENQUIRER some
time ago, for this important enterprise
the thanks of the town will be due to
Professor R. j. Herndon. He has had
the matter under consideration for sew
eral weeks past, and has now fully made
up his mind.
The building is to be located on the va
cant lot opposite the Parish hotel. On
the first floor there is to be "a big store room ,
and according to Prof Herndon's present
ideas, the opera hail will occupy the floor
above.
The size of the proposed building has
not yet been fully decided upon. This
will depend, in considerable measure,
upon the result of careful Investigations
that Prof. Herndon is now making; but
it is safe to predict that it will be amply
large for any reasonable requirements OF
the present or immediate future.
1t is Prof. Herndon's intention that the
hall shall be so arranged as to be suitable
not only for all manner of entertainments {;
but also for public meetings, etc., and
having had great deal Of experience in
such matters, the public can depend upon
it that when he completes his proposed
building, it will be found to be just the
thing that is needed.

Proposed Railroad Extension.
Spartanburg correspondence of the
Columbia State: II is very proba-
bic that this city will soon have an.
other railroad. Several months ago
survey for the road from Spartanburg
to Blacksburg was made by the author
tiles of the Ohio River and Charleston
railway. If the road is built it will
give this city another outlet to the sea
and another to the north. The route
will be to Blacksburg or some nearer
point on the Ohio River and Charles
ton railway, thence to Camden. From
that point line will be built to Sum-
ter, where the Atlantic Coast line will
be tapped. This will be the outlet to
the north, while the South Carolina
and Georgia will afford an outlet to
Charleston. The prime object in the
building of this spur will be to obtain
the immense tonnage that accrues
yearly from the cotton factories along
the route, as we'll as to afford Spartan
burg the best facilities for the movement
of freghts at a lower tariff rate than is
obtainable now.

The Storm In Columbia.

The city of Columbia has had a
peculiarly disastrous time of it on ac-
count of Wednesdays storm. Down
there the storm came first in the shape
of heavy rain, which froze as it fell.
The trees and the telegraph wires were
quickly coated with ice, which grew
thicker and thicker the longer the rain
fell. Some Of the telegraph, and es-
pecially the telephone lines, have doz-
ems of wires strung along the same
posts. In some instances the ice
accumulated on these wires to a
thickness of an inch and a-half in di'
ameter, and, as the result, nearly all
the posts were snapped in two. Du-
ring the day, the city was not only
entirely deprived of telegraphic COM
munication with the the outside world ;
but the telephone, fire alarm and troll
ley systems were also rendered useless.
On account of the disaster to the tele-
graph service, the Columbia papers OF
Thursday morning were almost entire
ly without outside news of any de-
scription. Their space was devoted
principally to the story of the disas-
trous effects Of the storm in the city,
miscellaneous clippings from other
newspapers, and such matter generally
as could be made available under the
peculiar circumstances. The money
loss in the city on account of the storm
amounts to many thousands of dollars.

THE SNOW STORM.

Wednesdays snow storm breaks the
December record for a good many years
just how many we are unable to say-for
we have no reliable statistics.
The storm was our part of the great
blizzard which prevailed in the northwest
during last week, and which was sched-
uled by the weather bureau to reach York
vile OH Sunday morning. For various
reasons that have since been satisfactorily
explained by the weather people, the
storm was delayed but it managed to
get here all the same, and when it did
come it was up to expectations.
The falling weather commenced We'd
nesday morning shortly after midnight,
first, in the form of sleet. About day
light the sleet changed to snow, and in
this shape the storm continued all day
and until an hour or two after dark.
All trains were late Wednesday. The
The o. r. and c. was but few minutes
behind its schedule going down. When
it passed Yorkville, the coaches were
covered with thick coating of snow
but there were no icicles. When it came
back about two hours late, there was
snow and icicles both. The northbound
Chester and Lenoir reached Yorkville
about half hour late, with long icicles
hanging to almost every part of it where
an icicle could stick. The icicles were an
indication of what since proved to be a
fact, that they were having even rougher
weather south than north Of Yorkville.
At this place and above the snow was
light and dry, while to the south it was
wet, heavy and more disagreeable.
A number of individuals who have
taken measurements of the snow report
the depth at from s to II inches. The
latter figures are reported by Mr.. A. F.
Mcconnell of Yorkville. who tried to
arrive as nearly as possible at an accurate
average. 1t has been great many years
since so much snow has fallen in this
section of the country in the same num-
ber of consecutive hours.
A number of people made experiments
at sleighing on the streets of Yorkviile on
Thursday and Friday; but the snow was

- The New York World, New York
Sun, Chicago-Times Herald and other
newspapers, have commenced an agitation
to reduce the congressional representation
of South Carolina in proportion to the
actual voting population under the new
constitution. We have been looking for
just such a movement all along, and we
presume that the next Republican con-
gress will be urged to carry it into effect.
An efficient safeguard, however, would
probably be the adoption Of the Australian
ballot system at the next session Of the
general assembly.

numerous fouls. His fighting was SO
unfair that the crowd raised a great
clamor against the referee. At length
Sharkey was knocked completely out
and although the crowd decided other
wise, the referee claimed that Fitz
simmons had committed foul and
awarded the fight to Sharkey.
- 1t is said that financial London is
almost insane just now on account OF
speculation. The like has not been
seen for years. BY way of explana-
ton, it is claimed that vast sums were
withdrawn from America and South
Africa on account of the recent silver
agitation, and this money being piled
up idle in London, has served as a
great temptation to the professional
sIeculators. Dozens of big compa-
nies, many of them without sciid
foundation, have been organized re-
Gently, and millions of dollars have
been invested where there can be no
hope of return. The sharpers are
having a regular picnic.

THREATENED BY FLooD.-Chip-
pewa Falls, large city on the Chip
pewa river, in Winconsin, has been in
imminent danger of destruction sever
al days by reason of high water. AS
the result of the blizzard of last week,
d great ice gorge was formed several
miles below the city. The ice con-
tinued to collect, and augmented by
logs and driftwood, has formed a dam
about rs feet high, and more than 8
mile in thickness. The water backed
up to Chippewa Falls and arose some
26 feet above the banks of the river.
A large portion of the city was in.
undated for a depth of from II 70 l5
feet and the inhabitants are in great
fear lest the water should continue to
rise until the whole city is flooded.
Although there has not yet been any
loss of life, the people are described as
being thoroughly terrorized-in fact al
most crazy from fright.

hIore Than Anything Else 1t Sounds Like
Campaign Rot.
Gatfney Ledger, Thursday:
II. D. Moore, of the Buffalo section
of Cherokee township, York county,
was approached by parties from Rock
Hill last week and offered money to
defeat the new county. This informa-
tion was given ]. B. Ross and George
Moore by Mr.. T. D. Moore himself.
Dr. Roddey Miller stopped at Rock
Hill on his way from New York.
While in Rock Hill, he talked with a
number of people in regard to the new
county. He says that in every in
stance he was led to believe that Rock
Hill was simply "laying low" about
the new county and waiting the re-
suit of our election, and that in the

rather too soft and slushy to afford much
pleasure. The only people who were
able to get any fun out of the situation
were the SNOWFALL fiends, and their fun
promises to last for several days yet.
Coming so unexpectedly as it has, the
snow has caught great many people
out of wood, with the result that there
has at least been a great deal of discom-
fort, not to say suffering. One of the
most practical benefits of the storm that
has so far been called to our attention
goes to the credit of the fal mers. There
has been complaint of destruction of the
early wheat by insects, and with the
snow, the ravages of the insects are at
an end.

Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
ZADoK, December 1.-This is the month
which, according to the astronomers, is
going to be very severe, and the people OF
this section have been pushing up their
work in order to get ready for it. Our
farmers have pretty generally completed
the work of sowing wheat and getting up
their firewood in preparation for rough
weather and for Christmas.
hear a great deal Of talk here about a
fly or bug that is bothering the early
sown wheat. One farmer told me that he
has seen the pest going about his field in
droves. 1t reminds him of the beetle
bug and seems to ruin field Of wheat
wherever it strikes.
A big rabbit hunt was the feature of
Thanksgiving day. There were about a
dozen hunters in the crowd, and Locust
Hill was the rendezvous. Forty rabbits
and one squirrel was the result of the
days sport.
Mr.. Benjamin r. Smith of this place,
and Miss Lizzie Broom of Glover, were

resident of Fairfield county, but for some-
time past resident of Glover.
