HICKORY GROVE oRPHANAGE.

The Associate Reformed Presbyterian
of last Wednesday contains the following
letter from Rev. J. P. Knox in regard to
the A. R. P. orphanage at Hickory Grove:
MEssRs. EDIToRs-The kind words
published in The Presbyterian last week
concerning the orphanage at Hickory
Grove were very much appreciated. And
n6w want to say that it is moving on.
From all quarters where have been the
people seem to think the move good
one. The house will be ready, children,
will be here, matrons and teachers can he
secured, and a willing community will
furnish the house. And just here let me
say that the building is a large eight
room house, with a fireplace in every
room, and is one of the most beautiful
lots in town. Synod will not be asked to
contribute to house nor grounds. She
will be asked, however, to select suitable
man to take charge Of the work, and 1
write this to say that there is no more
doubt about the orphanage being estab.
lished. The only question is to get GOOD
man to take charge, and am sure synod
will find the man. Money is coming in
unsolicited. Beds are being furnished.
Furniture is being donated, and the or
phans of the church will soon have a
home and friends to care for them. We
want the church to realize that we do not
mean to fail. We are in the Lords work
and we will succeed. Brethren, pray for
the orphanage.

CORRESPONDENCE Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
FORT MILL, September 17.-As it is so
very dry and hot, we find it difficult to
gather news enough to write up. About
all we hear is free silver and sound mon
ey. However, here are few dots gather
ed from the breezes.
Mrs. J. 4. Withers is able to be up af-
ter severe case of typhoid fever, of about
five weeks duration.
Mrs. w. P. Moore, who has also been
quite sick of fever, is greatly improved.
Miss Ada Bradford left on Monday for
Harrison, n. c., where she goes to take
charge of school.
Miss Mary Mack returned on Friday,
after spending sometime visiting in some
of the northern cities, including Wash
ington and New York.
Mr.. J. J. Ormand's new residence, near
Dinkin's ferry, has just been completed
and he has moved thereto.
Miss Annie Clarkson, Of Charlotte,
is visiting her sister, Mrs. B. D. Spp5ngs.
Mrs. Seth Hotchkiss of New Haven,
Conn.,, is visiting her son, Mr.. 5. A.
Hotchkiss.
The Times's bicycle races, which were
held Saturday, September II, were sue
cess from start to finish. The first race
was two mile, open, with sterling sill
yer medal as prize, which was won by Mr..

clerk and then as superintendent.
He denied most epphatically that he
had ever received any rebates or COM
missions ON his personal account, and
stated that he had only purchased
liquor on the most advantageous
terms. He was not aware of the fact
that his son had gotten commissions
until after the investigations of Mr..
Scruggs, and then it had come like a
thunderbolt from a clear sky. He
did not think that Governor Evans or
anybody else who had ever been con-
nected with the dispensary in an off.
cial capacity, had gotten rebates.
J. w. Nixon said that he had never
had any personal connection with the
whisky houses. On one occasion he
had business in Cincinnati. His
brother, W. T. Nixon, had given him
a statement of commissions due him
from the Live Oak concern. He did
not ask any questions about the mat
ter, but supposed that his brother was
the general agent of the Live Oak
concern, and that the money was
commissions on sales. On another
occasion, he, J. w. Nixon, had been
asked by representative of the Live
Oak people to make a list of the dis.
pensaries and dispensers in the state,
and on doing so Mr.. Yost of the con-
cern, presented him with > diamond
pin.
w. T. Nixon, the man who got the
big money, was the next witness. He
explained as to how the whole thing
was private enterprise of his. Rely
ing upon the influence that he would
be supposed to have with his father,
Commissioner Nixon, he went to the
whisky people and made trade with
them whereby he would receive 81 per
barrel for x, 50 for Xxx and So for
xxx whisky sold. He knew that the
Live Oak brands were popular, and
that as the dispensary was likely to
buy a good deal of this whisky, bis
commissions would be fat. He had no
idea of his ability to exercise any in
fluence over his father in the matter
and never tried to further than to tell
him how popular the Live Oak brands
of whisky were with the public. The
Live Oak people stuck by their agree
ment and paid him the commissions on
up until the whole racket was exposed.
Nixon claimed that bis father had no
knowledge whatever of his connection
with the whisky houses.
D. H. Tompkins was the last wit
ness examined. His testimony devel-
oped nothing new. The board then de-
cided to take the whole matter under
advisement and not attempt to arrive
at any decision until its next meeting
in October.

HooDTowN, Sept. 7.-This neighbor-

damage was done outside of cotton being
blown and beaten out and badly stained.
The rain was not All unmiXed evil as

The grim monster, death, has invaded
the home of Mr.. James Meek, who lives
on the Youngblood place, about four

has left it to the parents desolate. The
youngest child, aged about 2 months, was
buried last Saturday, and the eldest, aged
about years, last Tuesday. Whooping

TALK ON LONDON.

The chapel lecture by Prof. Bal
mer Thursday morning was very
enjoyable and instructive. Apt
illustrations were given of the Lon
don thoroughfares, aiding much in
the difficult conception of London's
magnitude. A few remarks from
the tourist or bystander are often
more accurate, as also impressive
by anecdote; moreover when Lon
don is described an adequate des
cription Of any feature must needs
come from personal visit, one
which Prof. Balmer, long acquainted
with the country, people and Ian
guage could properly make.
Students and faculty were glad
to hear the president announce the
continuation of the lecture soon.
We hope to hear next Of Ludgate
Circus, Charing Cross, London Tow
er and Bridge. and more Of the Eng
lish people.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC.

My attention has been called to
facts that certain parties using city
water allow their faucets to remain
open when not in use and large
quantities of water are wasted in
this manner, and it forces our water
system to its full limit, hence the
expense of fuel is very great and it
is taxing our water fund beyond it's
capacity. Persons using and pay
ing for water are responsible for
their own faucets and must not al
low others who are not paying for
water to use them. The city law
is very strict in this regard, and [
earnestly rsquest all citizens to aid
and help US in protecting our water
system.
If the above conditions are not
complied with the fire and water
committee will see that the laws
regulating these matters are rigidly
enforced. Respectfully,
j. II. ST. LAWRENCE,
Mayor.
