given their names had not reported.
News From the Circus.
Cheraw correspondent of the Columbia
State, 30th: The Wallace circus exhibit
ted here yesterday. 1t is regarded as the
|
years. Despite the cry of slow price cot
ton," a great many persons were in town
and attended. The crowd was a quiet,
orderly one that seemed bent on pleasure.
The circus left this place last night for
Wadesboro, N. c.
Reorganizing the Alliance.
Mr.. w. N. Elder is preparing to get
o1 IN hn tunrk nf rQ.nr
izing the Farmers Alliance in this coun-
ty; and from the idea the reporter got in
conversation with him on Monday, the
keynote of the proposed re- organization
will be in the direction of the develop
ment of what is known as the "Roddey"
plan. There is great deal of favorable
sentiment on the subject in all parts OF
the county, and with persistent effort the
task appears to be practicable.
Drunken CareIessness.
Walker Byers, colored, shot George
Smith, also colored, last Sunday. The
shooting occurred on the plantation of
Mr.. T. L. Carroll, three miles east Of
Yorkville. Just how it was, the reporter
has not been able to learn, further than
that there were several Negroes in the par
ty and that they were drinking. A pistol
figured, of course, and while in the hands
of Byers the weapon was discharged.
Smith was struck in the breast and seri-
ously wounded. 1t is not thought that
the wound will prove fatal.
Something of Stranger.
Mr.. w. B. Bolin brought a peculiar
bird to The ENQUIRER office last Mon
day. About the size of crow, and the
color of dove, with long legs, neck like
goose, slightly tiattened toes and sharp
beak. That it is water fowl is evident
but its name we are unable to tell with
certainly. More than anything else 1t
looks like what the dictionary presents as
moor hen, or gallinule. The bird, Mr..
Bolin informs us, was caught last Friday
by his dogs at Bogg's ford, on Fishing
creek, about nine miles from Yorkville.
