Messrs. T. j. and w. T. Nichols, on
Wednesday, Rewarded the contract for
the completion Of the changes on their

is to be completed by August 18th. Mr..
Spencer expects to commence work with
a large force Of hands on next Monday.
The Rutherford Road.
Notwithstanding the fact that there has
been nothing published about the matter
for sometime, the public is not warranted
in the conclusion that people living on
the Rutherford road have abandoned
their intention to do some work there
this summer. 1t will be remembered
that these people got up pretty big SUBJ
scription last spring, payable In cash or
labor, etc., after crops were laid by. Mr..
R. l.. Wilkerson was in Yorkvllle on
Thursday, and informed the reporter
that he had arranged for meeting of the
subscribers to be held in the court house,
on next Saturday, the 18th instant, forthe
purpose of getting matters>in shape.

A Brief Interregnum.
Although it would be "unbecoming'
for anybody to take advantage OF IT, It ls
not out of place to state as a fact, that
lust at this time there Is no ordinance Tor
the regulation Of bicycle riding In the
town of Yorkville. At recent meeting
the town council passed an ordinance
repeating the bicycle ordinance OF Marcn
%. 1897, and this ordinance has been given
the publication required by law. Inc
ordinance, therefore, is dead. The new
ordinance, adopted on the 23d day OF
June, 1897, does not go into effect Until
next Monday, July II. In the meantime,
bicvclists are entitled tn such privileges
on the sidewalks as they might have been
entitled to enjoy previous to the passage
of the first ordinance on the bicycle
subject.
As to Pensions.
Columbia State: All of the counties OF
the state save those of Beaufort, Laurens,
Horny and Hampton, have forwarded 70
the state board of pensions the revised
lists OF the pensioners in those counties
whose claims have been approved. Comp
troller Norton yesterday asked that these
counties be requested to send IN their re-
ports Immediately, as the whole pension
machinery had been clogged by the delay.
Inasmuch as the 800, 900 pension appro-
priation has to be prorated according to
the total number of pensioners in the
state, it is absolutely impossible to tell ex-
actly what amount each pensioner Will
receive until every report is in hand. MI.
Norton says that the board will pay the
whole amount at once and will not make
selni-annual payments. The checks will
be issued very shortly and they will be
sent to the several county clerks OF court,
the modus operandi Of delivery to the
pensioners being the same as last year.
