In the interview with Mark Hanna,
published in another column, we see
considerable encouragement. "Bryan's
defeat must be sweeping, and the battle
royal to take place during the remaining
days of October" being interpreted, very
likely means ''that Mckinley is not elect
ed yet by a long odds, and if we don't
continue our desperate efforts up to the
last minute, our name is Dennis" We
can see no other way for it, for even Mr..
Hanna would not continue to spend
money like water after he has won his
fight.

Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
CLOVER, October 5.-There was riot
on last Saturday at colored church just
outside the incorporate limits Of Clover,
on the Kings Mountain road. A consid.
erable number had collected there for
some kind of celebration. I do not
know what. Just after the services had
gotten fairly started, row broke out on
the grounds.
The principal parties in the riot were
Will Smyre, Bill Hart and his brothers.
Smyre got his head badly bruised up and
Bill Hart got bullet through his arm.
Smyre has, or had, a sister of the Hart
brothers for wife, and it is said there
has been bad blood between them for
sometime. The Meeting closed in short
form. This is engagement No. l, or the
battle Of the A. Y. x. @. V. M. E. q.
church, or something like that.
The crowd then came on down town
and Esq. J.. @. Howe, who happened to
be here, had the parties all bound over
for appearance. Before this process was
completed, word came to Policeman AL
exander that John Hart. brother Of Bill,
had said he was going to kill Will Smyre
on sight, and the policeman was then on
the street looking for him. Policeman
Alexander, with several others, then
started out to see John Hart about it.
Smyre was then under arrest.
The policeman and party overlook
Hart on the corner near the A. R. church.
Hart told them to stop-not to come on
him and as they did not stop, he drew his
pistol and the battle commenced Alright.
They were in close quarters by this time,
and IL or Is shots were fired In rapid sue
cession but strange to say none of the
parties engaged got shot. Rufus Quinn,
colored, who was in the background
somewhere, received a ball just above the
knee. After Hart emptied his pistol he
broke off in run up Kings Mountain
street, and as he ran, he managed to put
up the pistol he had emptied and drew
another which he fired back as he ran.
He managed to get to his horse, which
for North Carolina. Three or four par
ties, together with Policeman Alexander,
started in pursuit; but they lost so much
time in getting horses to ride that they
could not overtake the Negro, who Is still
at large. He seems to have been we'll
armed. JOSH.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS,

The regular quarterly meeting of the
county board of commissioners was held
in the supervisors Office last Monday
all of the members present except Mr.
Riddle.
The first business was the reelection o.
Mr.. Gauldin as superintendent Of the
county home, with an increase of 81
month on his salary. Hereafter he is tc
receive $262 and 25 bushels Of corn per
annum.
There is only small amount of mon
ey, and comparatively few of the ac-
counts could be paid. Several, however
were approved.
The committee appointed at the last
meeting to look into the condition and
ownership of the Kings Mountain bat
tleground property made its report, with
the date for public meeting that is pro-
vided for left blank. The date was filled
in and the report, as adopted, read as
follows:
To the Honorable Board Of Commits
sioners of York county. Gentlemen
Your committee, to whom was referred
the matter of the monument at Kings
Mountain, and the grounds Immediately y
around it, most respectfully submit the
following:
/. we find that deed for 391 acres OF
land has been made to certain parties in
North and South Carolina, to be held in
trust by them until the incorporation OF
tho Kings Mountain Centennial associa-
ton.
Q. We find further that such an asso-
citation was formed with Colonel Coward
as president, and J. M. 1vey as secretary,
for the purpose, as we suppose, OF pur-
chasing and erecting monument upon
the battlefield, and for no other purpose.
5. In order to carry out the object for
which this committee was appointed, we
recommend that public meeting of the
called to be held in the town Of Yorkvllle
on the first Monday in November, 1895,
for the purpose of organizing and taking
proper steps for the incorporation OF the
Kings Mountain Monumental associa-
ton, and an invitation be extended to the
citizens of Cleveland county, n. c., to
cooperate with us and send delegation
to the proposed meeting.
5. We recommend that the supervisor
of York county be selected as the one to
take charge of the meeting.
After full discussion Of the subject,
resolution was adopted providing that
from and after the lst day of December,
the superintendent of the convict gang
shall have authority to shave the sem
tences of convicts sentenced one year and
over, one-twelfth for good behavior.
Mr.. Miller gave notice that at the next
meeting of the board, to be held on Thurs
day after the first Monday in November,
he would move that thereafter the chain
gang be let to the highest bidder.

HERE IS A GOOD IDEA.

Warden McElwee thinks it will be q
good idea to provide the chief Of the fire
department and the chief of police of
Yorkville with bicycles. He has talked
the idea some and everywhere it meets
with favor.
In case Of fire, the first thing of inn
portance is to get on the ground. Espec-
tally desirable is the immediate presence
of the chief of the department. A min
ute then is worth week an hour later,
and by the use of bicycle the fire chief
can reach the scene of the threatened
danger with the least possible delay.
There are times when bicycle will pay
for itself many times over in a single
half hour.
With the chief of police, the necessities
are very much the same. Sometimes
telephone message calls him to distant
mart of town. Whenever he is wanted il
is right now, and if it is necessary for him
to answer on foot, before he gets to the
desired place, it is often too late. And ii
is not only for special occasions that the
bicycle will prove useful to him, for by
the use of the wheel, he can patrol the
town in such short space of time as to
practically enable him to become ubiqui-
tous.
Warden McElwee suggested his idea to
Chief Cartwright, of the fire department
the other day. The doctor was so i'm
pressed with the utility of the suggestion
that he at once ordered wheel by tele.
graph at his own expense. Warden Nc
Elwee has not yet brought the matter o.
buying wheel for Chief of Police Love
before the town council; but will do sc
without delay, and will also propose thai
the right thing be done about bearing a
proper share of the expense of the wheel
purchased by DR.. Cartwright.

advantages of wide tires over narrow
ones, they will all follow suit, and then
the question of better roads will no lon

It was all arranged that the girls should escort their timid charges to their homes; that part of it was duri- fully carried out, but when it came to allowing the damsel to depart alone and unattended to her domicile they say he rebelled and went back with her, but of course we cannot expect man to get used to the new woman all at once, and perhaps we'd just as lief he wouldn't anyway.

The Loose Fronted Gown Gives the Ap-
 pearance Of No Corsets.
 The long accepted loose front for dress waists has at last evolved the apparently Hncorseted girl Her gown fits faultlessly at the back and at the sides, and from the throat, or from the cut-out over to the upper curve of firm and rounded figure. The ma terial is also drawn from the sides of the bodice, a little toward the front, under this round, as if giving to it little support, and then all the folds draw sharply to the waist point with the effect of being stiffened, that no horizontal break may come Such cut suits only slender and very we'll made woman, but it is distinctly eff feetive, and the fashion is growing.
 The corset to be worn is sort of knit jersey that fits the figure quite as an undershirt does, only great many delicate threads of celluloid are run in the weave, and the figure has an inn mobility, great deal like, as it were, a cast of itself in marble or clay This prevents the change of line which, without such q preventive, makes the average gown fitted over the figure extremely i1nmodest. There is a French trick, too, of lining the front of such gown with shaped elastic fiber that follows the natural lines of the bust, the bodice being really fitted over this. and the figure itself taking support from such lining Of course it need not be hinted that the lining re- ferred to may follow lines more gener- ous than those of the natural figure if this is deemed advisable Chicago Inter Oeean

 They Deserve to stand High as an Article
 of Diet.
 It has been the custom until very re- gently to consider raisins purely an article of .uxhry. The question has been brought up whether the raisin does not possess an intrinsic food value independent of it's use as luxury. and the argument seems to favor the affirm ntive of the proposition. It is asserted by those who have studied the ques- tioa from scientific and hygienic standpoint that the nutritiye power of raisins as compared with meat is as four 10 one.
 1t is susceptible of demonstration that raisins. like other dried fruits, are genuine food, and contain clements which are fully as necessary to good health as all the other things which analytical chemists have discovered in so-ealled flesh-malSing and strength making foods.
 Those who have studied the question of raisins as food profess to have some- thing like 100 recipes for the prepara- ton of the raisin. and each of these, it is asserted, has an economic value. Whether this estimate be excessive or not, one thing is very certain, and that is that the world would be better oil from the hygienie point of view if we were to eat more fruit and less meat.
 The raisin, which is only the grape dried in the sun, should be natural food, if there be any such thing. Sugar, which the dried grape contains in it's natural state, has long been recognized as q genuine food so much so that man. ufaetured sugar is no longer regarded as an article of luxury, but as house. hold necessity We leave to physiolo- gists the taelsnical explanation of this, but the fact is as well known as that water is needed to quench thirst. This being so. it would seem that dried grapes or raisins should furnish the sugar which the system needs, in its purest and most concrete form, for natures laboratory surpasses all the skill of the chemists, and outdoes all the triumphs of analysis, quantitatiye and qualitative. 1t is sincerely to be hoped that this subject of raisins as food may be thoroughly investigated and exploited, for while raisins may not entirely take the place of beef steak or mutton chops, they may well stand high in the rank of food prod- ucts-Boston Budget.
