The Baptist State Convention.
The Baptist State convention, in session
at Rock Hill, is largely attended; but the
proceedings, 80 far, though interesting,
have been of routine character. His hon
or Judge'J. H. Hudson is in the chair
as president.
1t Is Badly Needed.
Just think of it-a town of the preten.
sions of Yorkville, and not single pub
lie warehouse. Some people, 1t is true
use the railroad depots for the purpose
thus greatly imposing on the patience and
good nature of the railroads; but in the
whole town not place where the general
public can store merchandise or other
property, except by imposing on the good
nature of private individuals. Such q
situation as this is not creditable.
Not Much of a Fire.
There was little fire out at the York
Cotton mills on Thursday. 1t did not
amount to much. In fact it was extin-
puished even before it was discovered.
1t originated in the picker room, blszed
up quickly, opened up the automatic
sprinklers, and was put out. The contin-
ued flow of the water was the first evil
dence of the mishap. The loss was so
small as not to be worth considering.
Moonshine on the Mountain.
Gastonia Gazette, Thursday: Two or
three distilleries were pulled yester-
day afternoon by Deputy Collector
Means, near the South Carolina line,
back of Kings Mountain. One of them,
he said, was the finest blockade still he
ever cut. The copper was thick, very
thick, and there was not patch on 1t.
This time he wasn't shot at. though be
ran a man off from his still who had
gun in his hand.
Cotton Convention Next Monday.
People interested should not forget the
fact of the holding of the convention in
the interest of cotton, in the courthouse,
next Monday. While the presumption is
that each township has elected and will
send duly accredited delegates, this need
not interfere with the attendance OF
all others who care to be there as spec
tators. The proceedings of the conven-
ton, no doubt, will be interesting, and
the larger the attendance the greater the
encouragement to those who are now bear
ing the brunt of the battle.
Committed to Jail.
Edward C. Cation, the young white man
from Mecklenburg county, who was sem
fenced to the chaingang, sometime back,
for 80 days, for hauling contraband liquors
in violation of the dispensary law, was
released last Wednesday and promptly
re- arrested by Sheriff Logan on another
warrant, charging him with illegally SELL
ing intoxicating liquors. The grand jury
has already found true bills against Cation
in several cases, and unless he is able to
give bond he will have to lie in Jail until
the spring term of court. Cation is quite
q young man and takes his troubles very
hardly. He had frequent spells OF crying
while on the chaingang, and finds but
little if any more consolation in Jail.
Thinks 1t Good Thing.
Speaking of the warehouse idea, sug-
gested in THE ENQUIRER of Wednesday,
Mr.. G. L. Riddle, president of the Clover
Cotton factory, said, on Thursday, that
he thought it was a good thing. He
wished that there was such a warehouse
here now, and said he knew of one case
where one man has had two bales of cot
ton pledged as security for a loan OF only
$40. With warehouse, as suggested, he
we satisfied that such transaction could
be arranged to the greater satisfaction OF
both parties. Mr. T. B. McClain also ell
dorses the idea as a good one. He would
not care to build such warehouse as
would be necessary on his own RESPONSE
bility but thinks it should be done by
stock company. He would be willing to
take liberal share of the stock.
OFF For Conference.
Rev. A. n. Brunson will leave next
Monday for the annual meeting OF the
South Carolina conference, which meets
at Florence Wednesday, and as to wheth-
er he will be returned to Yorkville is, OF
course, uncertain. 1t is quite certain,
however, that if he is not returned there
will he great deal of disappointment
not only among the members of MIR.
Bruns0ns church but among the people
of York Vile generally. Mr.. Brunson has
been located at Yorkvlle for two years
now. He made good impression when
he came, and that good impression has
grown stronger and stronger. That he is
a preacher of much more than average
ability goes without saying. Nearly ev-
erybody in Yorkville has heard him time
and again, and such is the universal testi-
mony; but this is not Mr.. Brunson's
strongest qualification for the high office
