THE SEMI-WEEKLY ENQUIRER will

A Natural Curiosity.
Mr.. D. a. Whitaker, Dock has left at
THE ENQUIRER Office, petrified hick-
orynut, which he picked up day or two
ago near the o. r. & G. trestle, over Tur-
key creek, between Yorkville and Sharon.
In Defiance to Law.
There is special act of the legislature
prohibiting the sale of whisky in York
vile. Nothing that Judge Simonton has
ever decided, is in the least contrary to
this act, and an original package den can
be established here only in defiance Of
law.
Grading Down Hill.
The chaingang is now engaged in grad
ing down a bill and making fill on the
Charlotte road, about half mile outside
the incorporate limits of Yorkville. They
have been working there about six days
now, and taking everything into consid-
GRAFTON, have made good showing.
Going Out Of Business.
The firm of Whisonant & Castles, Of
Hickory Grove, is going out OF business
on January l, and between now and that
date, proposes to give the people of the
town and surrounding country, some
rousing cash bargains. The proposed
dissolution of the firm is due to the
bad health of Mr.. Whisonant.
This Is Straight.
The town council of Yorkville is under
oath to prevent the opening Of the origi-
nal package establishment in Yorkville,
and if the said town council fails in its
duty, Yorkville may look for an imme-
diate Inauguration of the metropolitan
police system. Governor Ellerbe is not
going to put up with any foolishness.
Fire Mt Belmont.
Rock Hill Herald: Mr.. r. G. McCsw
lost barn on his place at Belmont, Satur-
day night, from fire, caused, it is presum-
ed, by spontaneous combustion. Beside
the barn, two other buildings, containing
], 200 bundles of fodder and 1,454 pounds
of seed cotton, were destroyed. The loss
is S40O, with no insurance.
Will Yorkville Permit It?
There is in Yorkville, an agent of an
original package concern, who wants to
open up business here. He has consulted
lawyers, and, Of course, has been advised
to 20 ahead. Will the people of York
vile permit such thing? 1t is sincerely
hoped that they will not. Public senti-
ment is a higher law than that which is
represented by Judge Simonton.
They Will Have Good One.
The various committees Of the York.
willie Wheelmen's association, have been
very busy since the recent organization.
Application has been made to the secre-
tary of state for commission for a char.
ter. and there has been great deal Of in
yestieation of different sites that have
been suggested as suitable for the loca-
ton of the track. There are some sure
enough business men on the board of di-
rectors, and they are determined that the
proposed track, when completed, will be
the best in the state.
Disease Among the Cattle.
Rock Hill Herald: For several weeks,
what appeared to he very fatal disease,
has been prevailing among the cattle in
this vicinity. Major A. H. White has
had 10 to die and others have lost several
head. Prof. Wyman, the veterinary sur
geon at Clemson college, was requested to
come over and diagnose the trouble. He
arrived on Thursday last, and after
making a thorough investigation, express
ed the confident opinion that the out
break was not Texas fever, as was be-
lieved; but that it was Il trouble due to
shortness of pasture and stagnant drink
ing water, causing form OF poisoning,
characterized mainly by a breaking down
of vital elements of the blood, disease
said to be very frequent in our state, espe-
cially in prolonged dry weather.
Grounds For Contest.
The town council may now proceed to
contest the election on the ground OF llle-
gal registration, because that is what the
opposition would have done had the elec-
ton gone the other way. And as the op-
position is not disposed to be illiberal,
it is Just as well perhaps to give the town
council the names of witnesses upon
which it can base it's case. The following
voters were illegally registered by Super
visor Clawson, in that the supervisor did
not see their tax receipts or state registra-
ton papers before issuing them certiti-
Gates: w. X. Carroll, j. B. Pegram, 5.
NJ. McNeel, Rev. A. n. Brunson, j. NJ.
Ferguson, w. D. Grist, w. w. Lewis, and
others. All those mentioned, voted
against the change of the charter and
against the change of name.
Both Are Giants.
There are two. convic:s Oh the chain
gang who are veritable giants. They are
John Hart, the Clover desperado, and
John Jones, who was sent up from Bull
locks Creek township. Guard Whitener
was telling the reporter about them
few days ago. Sometime back, says MIR.
Whitener, during short breathing spell,
the two Negroes began to boast OF their
comparative physical strength. The only
convenient object which could be found
