aro und Guthriesvile during the past few
years, and in its announced intention, the
railroad company is moved by necessity.
Cheap Ginghams.
Strauss and the Ganson company sold
ginghams at cent yard, one day last
week. 1t was good quality of goods,
too, such as usually retails for s cents
and upwards.
Attendance at the Graded School.
! The enrolment at the Yorkville Graded
school (white) is now about It's, and dur
ing last month there was only one alb
sentee. With the largest enrolment in
its history, the school is getting along
nobly. The colored school is also doing
well.
A Treat to the Old Soldiers.
If General Rosser can talk as we'll as he
used to fight-and those who know say
such is the case-his entertainment at the
opera house on Thursday night, will be a
rare treat to all who 60 out to hear him,
the younger generation as we'll as the old
soldiers.
Cotton Fire In Fort Mill.
Supervisor Culp informed the reporter
yesterday that 10 bales of cotton were
burned at the ginnery Of Captain s. E.
White, in Fort Mill, last Monday night
The fire was not discovered until about 4
o'clock Tuesday morning, and its origin is
unknown. Several Of the bales were ell
tirely consumed.
Not Quarreling.
There is no quarrel between the York
vile board of health and the town coun-
Gil. The board of health takes the posi-
tion that since its report to the council, il
is relieved of further responsibility, and
if the council does not act, why that is q
matter for the council. The only incen-
tive to duty On the part of either body is
an identical oath of office.
Awaiting Further Particulars.
News and Courier: Mr.. +. D. Thomp.
son, of York county, according to THE
YoRKvILLE ENQUIRER, has already gath.
cred "two heavy bales of cotton" from
one acre, and "expects to gather about
one and half bales more" If his ex-
pectation is realized, the facts should be
fully reported later. Three and hal
bales of cotton to the acre is truly "phe'
nomenal" crop, and Mr.. Thompson and
his county should have all the credit they
deserve for making it.
To Begin Crushing Rock.
The county's rock-crushing plant was
moved NJ from the vicinity of Newport
to the first rock pile on the Charlotte road
last week, and is now in position ready
for work, except for fly-wheel Of the
crusher which was broken recently, and
the replacing Of which will cause delay
of several days. 1t is the purpose oi
Superintendent Gordon, as soon as posi-
BILE, to commence putting down macadam
work on that portion Of the road which
has already been graded.
Getting Straight Again.
Rock Hill Herald: Such plucky, hust-
ling fellows as Lee and Walter Kerr and
jim Heath are not to be downed by lit
tie thing like fire. Mr.. Stony Kimbal
has occupied his commodious new livery
stable on Main street, and the firm Of
Kerr Il Heath is now established in his
old stable. The liverymen and stock
dealers have been very kind to Kerr 4
Heath since their stable was destroyed by
fire Monday. Their stock was taken in
and housed and fr'' until the unfortunate
liverymen could gee settled again.
A Small Vote Likely.
Members of the County Democratic
Executive committee in Yorkville, on
Monday, expressed themselves as being
of the opinion that the vote in the ap-
preaching primary to nominate a repre-.
sentative in the general assembly, would
be very light. One thought there would
be as many as l,500 votes cast; but Others
did not think that the number would run
over 500. Indeed, it was suggested that
if it were not for the fact that the election
is to take place on Saturday, 500 would
be large estimate. But all this depends
upon circumstances. If there are several
candidates in the field, it is possible that
considerable interest might be developed.
The Georgia Wonder"
The Fannie Hester Theatrical compa-
ny, introducing Miss Fannie Hester
1.-The Georgia Wonder'-will be at the
opera house this (Tuesday) evening. Miss
Hester is young girl IA years Of age and
weighs 96 pounds. Her exhibition fol
the most part consists in the manifestation
of mysterious power by which she is
enabled, in various tests of strength, to
overcome, without apparent effort, a hall
dozen strong men. That she possesses q
remarkable power is given up every
where; but as to the nature of that pow
er science seems to be unable to give an
explanation.
The Bicycle Track.
The Yofkville Wheelmen's association
has not definitely decided upon location
for the bicycle track but has its choice
practically narrowed down to two sites
that are generally conceded to be most
available. One is on the land of Mr.. G.
H. O'Leary, fronting on the Charlotte
road, and the other is on the land Of Mr..
w. IT. Barron, over next to the o. r. & c.
railroad. Preference between the two
locations can only be settled by a survey
showing the amount and cost of grading,
ETC.. on each. Mr.. w. w. Miller, OF
Newport, has been engaged to do the
necessary engineering, and will probably
undertake the work tomorrow.
The Joshua Simpklns Company.
In the "Joshua Simpkins Company"
which is billed for next Saturday night,
theatre goers of Yorkville and surround
ing community will have a great treat.
This company is not of the kind that
usually comes to q town like Yorkville
