in May, 1897, have since starting up, sold
100, 900 pounds of warps. The commits
sion merchants in speaking Of the warps,
say that they are equal to any one of the
eastern warps, and the only fault they
find is that the capacity of the mill is not
large enough to satisfy the demand for
them. It is the intention of tie company
to overcome this objection as soon as con-
venient by the addition of more machin-
cry to the extent of doubling their capac-
ity. The mill has already 3,l2O spindles,
1000 twister spindles. The spinning
room is equipped with Within frames
throughout. The entire outfit in carding
room Is American Machine Co.'s machin-
cry. The mill is on 3Os to 4Os ply
warps. The officers are: E. B. Beard,
president; Jno. R. Ashe, secretary and
treasurer; P. M. Grimes, superintendent.
The overseers are Carding, I. o. Grimes,
son of Superintendent Grimes, in the day,
and at night H. NJ. Abernathy; spinning,
r. A. Burns in the day and G. L. Harris
at night.
The Preachers and the Liquor Question.
Anent Gov ernor Ellerbe's recent circu-
lar letter, a reporter for THE ENQUIRER
has been around among the various min
listers of Yorkville to see what they think
of the liquor question. Want OF space,
however, makes necessary a very con-
densed statement. Rev. B. II. Grier is
doubtful as to the practicability Of prohi-
bition until there is an improvement on
the dispensary habit of the people; but
does not think that high license should
be forced upon any community with
out the consent of majority Of the voters.
Revs. A. n. Brunson, w. G. Neville
and Edward r. Reaves are uncompro-
misingly for prohibition and strict en-
forcement of the law. Whether or not
prohibition prohi bits, they feel that they
escape further responsibility. Rev. Il.
w. And erson thinks that in comparison
with the people of five other states in
which he has lived, South Carolinians are
sober people; but in spite of years OF
careful study of the liquor question, what
is the proper solution of 1t, be must con-
fess that he does not know.

He says: II found some very good

On the contrary, the near neighbor o.

which can be worked by the ordinary
sluicing process. Most Of the bed rock

Farmers Elevator.

The Farmers Elevator Association
held another meeting last Saturday,
but did not have time to complete the
arrangements and adjourned till next
Saturday. They are feeling rather
ubilant over their new enterprise and
say that everything will be in full
blast before the new crop begins to.
move. New stockholders are being
added to the list every day and about
two-thirds of the stock is taken with
several others who have signifed
willingness to take stock but have not
yet signed their names. The board
of managers are now figuring on a
building and expect to submit their
report at the next meet. This move
will not only be of great benefit to the
farmers, but to the village as we'll. It
will have tendancy to draw more
farmers here to market their grain,
and the more the farmers can be
brought to Morris, the more will they
buy of our merchants.
All farmers have to do is to work
harmoniously, and put their shoulders
to the wheel and push together
Nothing succeeds like success, and
you are assured of success if you will
all pull together. Creameries are a
success because the farmers work to-
gether, and why should not the ele-
vator?

County commissioners.

The county commissioners were in
session Monday and yesterday and
adjourned till next Monday. Con-
siderable of gist was ground out in
GLIDING road changes, tax levy and
other matters of import. The Morris
and Toka road was changed SO as to
come in town on Fifth street. The
following tax levy was fixed for the
year 1897: For county revenue, 5
mills; interest, 8 mills; poor, 2 mills.
The county poor farm has proved
such a paying investment already
that the commissioners yesterday
transferred ST. 800 from the poor fund
to the general fund, and it
is claimed that the farm has
saved the county over that amount in
the last year. This is something that
has never happened before, but they
use to have to transfer from the gen.
eral to the poor fund.

EXONERATED.
An Unjust Accusation is ComS
PleteIy SqueIched.
A Homeless Boy Accused by His
Supposed Friends.

Little did we think, when we pub
ished the article last week headed
Ground EN- Up" that the subject
would cause SO much commotion as
was caused the past week. Nor
neither did we suppose then that the
two victims of the burglary would be-
come pitted against each other, and
that one would accuse the other of the
theft. but such are the facts as have
since come to light, only to revert
back to the accuser with bitter disap-
pointment. 1t appears that not long
after the theft had taken place Don
Pearce began to cast suspicious eyes
upon his old friend, roommate and
chum, George Mcpherson, but after
casting about for evidence and failing
to get the least particle Of evidence,
secured warrant for the arrest of
Mr.. Mcpherson on mere suspicion
without the least bit of grounds,
and compelled Marshal Peterson
to arrest him at midnight Thursday
night and lock him up.
Friday morning MIR. Mcpherson ap-
peared before Justice Stenger and
gave bonds for mis- appearance yester-
day morning. Then was the critical
moment and test for his supposed"
friends, who silently stood back and
watched but would not turn hand
or speak cheering word to the, de-
fenseless and homeless boy, thinking
he was in the meshes of the law and
would be carried off with other Grim
inals to brood over his fate and no
body would care. But such was
not the case. He had friends, and
good loyal friends, who stood up for
him and fought for him till the meshes
were broken and he was again free
man. First came Mr.. j. D.Good, who
willingly went his bond, and then
Attorney Grace stepped forward and
offered his legal services gratis, and
several others who expressed them
selves willing to help him.
At the trial yesterday County At
torney Bicknell carefully read the
warrant and complaint, and like a
gentleman absolutely refused to try
the case, stating that the complaining
witness failed to produce the least
bit of evidence that would warrant
the trying of the case, whereupon At
torney Grace moved for dismissal of
the case and the motion was immed-
lately granted. The defense was
ready to go ahead with the case, and
had witnesses on hand to prove the
absolute innocence of the accused.
had the complaining parties been so
inclined.
Mr.. Mcpherson has always borne a
frst-class reputation, and the complete
exoneration in this pettiness will only
give his friends more confidence in his
honesty and integrity, and it has done
him that good, that he knows who are
his friends and who are not.
