This Explains 1t.
Mr.. Charlie Clarke, of the Wilson mine,
was in Yorkville yesterday, and the re-
porter asked him as to whether or moi
they had felt the earthquake shock out at
the mine on Monday. "What time was
it." he queried; "about o'clock ?" "That
was the hour" the reporter replied, "Oh,
well them" rejoined Mr.. Clarke" with
an amused smile, "Of course we felt it
but don't be alarmed. 1t was only caused
by the starting of our stamp mill"
Found the Filly.
Mr.. J. Palmer Moore, Of Guthriesville
advertised in last Wednesdays ENQUIR-
ER for an estray filly. He told the re-
porter on Monday that the advertisement
had gotten there. The filly had been
taken up in Chester county, some ten
miles or more away, by Negro named
Sandy Pride. Sandy is not subscriber
to THE ENQUIRER; but there are some
subscribers in that neighborhood, the
same as in every other neighborhood ol
this section, and one of them promptly
informed the colored man of the owner
ship of the estray filly. But this case is
only one of hundreds. When an adver-
tisement in THE ENQUIRER fails to brin
results it's tough case.
At St. Pauls and Kings Mountain.
Sunday, May 3Oth, the programme pre-
pared for "Children's Day" was observed
at st. Pauls church in the morning, at ii
a. M, and at Kings Mountain chapel in
the afternoon at 3 o'clock. The young
people and children did their part well in
the recitations and the singing was good.
The pastor-Rev. ]. w. Humbert-com-
mented on Epworth League, missions and
education. Congregations were large, at
tention very good, and the order was eX-
cellent. Upon the whole, Sunday was an
enjoyable and profitable day at both
churches, and, no doubt, good seed was
sown that will bring forth spiritual fruit.
Fort Mill Manufacturing Company.
For Mill Times: A rumor has been
atloat for the past few weeks among the
hands employed by the Fort Mill Manu-
featuring company, that the management
of the mill were considering closing down
for short while; but at the meeting OF
the directors held Thursday, no such pro-
position was discussed or even limited at.
In fact, this mill is now in more flour
ishing condition, so one of the directors
says, than it has been for long while
The report made by the secretary was
very gratifying to the directors, and the
commission men assure them that the
products of this mill are in a strong de-
mand just at this time.
