THE CONFEDERATE VETERANS

The Micah Jenkins Camp Of Confed-
crate veterans, held its regular quarterly
meeting in the courthouse last Monday
with only a small attendance present.
The question Of representation for the
camp at the reunion to be held at Nash
vile, Tennessee, OH June %, was dis
cussed, and, by resolution, Major Hart
was authorized and requested to make
investigation as to who desired to go, and
appoint delegates.
1t developed that up to this time, only
about 20 out Of the 100 or more members
of the camp had paid their annual dues
of 10 cents each. With the dues of all
the members paid, the camp will be enti-
Il ed to five delegates; but as matters now
stand, it is only entitled to one. 1t is
hoped that there will be a general re-
newal of membership by payment OF
dues.
Major Hart announced that he had been
in correspondence with Captain Iredell
Jones with reference to the organization
of a York county regiment ofConfederate
veterans, and it had been arranged that
the organization be effected by delegates
in Rock Hill on the 18th instant.
Mr.. J. F. Wallace, secretary of the
county pension board, explained the OPP
Grafton of the new pension law. He
called attention to the fact that township
boards are to be organized next Saturday,
and urged all the veterans 10 make it
their business to be present. The men,
bers of the respective boards, he said,
should not be selected by reason of their
popularity but solely on account Of their
competency to attend to business.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

The county board Of commissioners has
decided to build bridge across Catawba
river. 1t has also decided to hold another
meeting OH Tuesday, April 20, for the
purpose of making disposition of the
chaingang after it completes its present
contract on the Ebenezer road. Both OF
these things were determined on at a
meeting held last Monday and other bus
mess of importance, was transacted during
the day.
It was the first meeting of the new
board. There were present, Messrs. D.
G. Stanton, j. F. Ashe, T. A. Gwin, w. S.
Wilkerson, Fred Minis, w. w. Miller, w.
r. Mcknight, A. H. White and j. S.
Brice. Supervisor Culp is chairman by
virtue of his office, and Mr.. Brice was
unanimously elected clerk.
As chairman Of the committee having
the matter in charge, Major White sub
mitted report with reference to the
building of bridge over Wildcat creek,
near Rock Hill. The report recommen-
ded the building of the bridge some dis
tance above its present site, and that prop
er approaches, on either side, also be
constructed. The matter was deferred
until the next meeting Of the board.
There were three petitions from citizen 8
of Ebenezer and Bethel townships, ask
ing for the building of three bridges over
Little Allison creek. Explanations were
to the effect that one bridge would really
answer all requirements, and the several
petitions were the result of difference OF
opinion as to where the bridge should be
located. The matter was referred to the
township board, which will investigate
and report later.
Major White presented a bill for the
recently purchased 12-horse Tozer engine.
The amount of the bill was S675. Upon
motion, the bill was approved and or
dered paid.
Mr.. Jasper Thomasson presented
claim for S. compensation on account OF
tree alleged to have been cut off his
property by road hands. The claim was
referred to the York township board for
investigation.
Mr.. r. NJ. Whtesides appeared before
the board with complaint in reference
to the condition Of Bullock's creek, be-
low his lands. ~ have been before you
once before in regard to this matter"
said Mr.. Whitesdes, land if you have
taken any action, am not aware of it.
1 am tired of this thing of planting corn
in Il mill pond, and, MIR. Supervisor and
gentlemen, if you do not attend to that
creek, l am going to attend to YOU"
Thore was some laughter at this PROPOSE
ton; but Mr.. Whitesides insisted that he
meant business.
"Who owns the lands below you?"
asked Mr.. Brice.

it got out of it's difficulty is somewhat
amusing. The Journal is the great rival
of the New York World, and is one OF
those papers that is being fought so bit
terly on account Of its sensationalism.
The World being already member ofthe
Associated Press, was not willing that its
rival should be admitted into an enjoy
ment of the franchise. Notwithstanding
all it's money, the probability was that
without general news service, The Jour
nal would have to die and get out of The
Worlds way. The World prevailed on
it's associates to such an extent that they
voted to exclude The Journal. But it
seems that this did not settle the matter.
Among the other New York papers en-
toying the Associated Press franchise,
was the staid old New York Advertiser, a
paper which was highly respectable and
which for years has been making strong
and dignified fight against the alleged in
decency of The World and The Journal.
In extremity The Journal turned its eyes
to The Advertiser, and, behold, there sud
denly appeared from the office Of The
Journal paper with a new name, "The
New York Journal and Advertiser" and
containing the full reports Of the Associa-
ted Press. The Journal had bought The
Advertiser, Associated Press franchise
and all, and will continue on its wicked
way, unhampered and unchecked, the
great rival of the equally wicked World.

Sons of Confederate Veterans-Another or

Correspondence OF the Yorkville Enquirer.
ROCK HILL, April 6.-The clear SUM-
shine carried joy to many heart which
felt heavy at 3 p. m. All the morning the
atmosphere was balmy; but about 2
o'clock a heavy cloud appeared in the
west, and at $50 it was pouring in tor
rents; but the shower was soon over.
We hope it will prove the last for several
days.
A camp of the Sons Of Confederate
Veterans has beelI organized here. The
camp takes the name of one of Rock
Hills old veterans--"Cadwallader Jones'"
Rev. J. w. Cantey Johnson was elected
commander. Three regular annual meet
ings were appointed: Memorial day,
May 10th; Historical meeting, first Tues
day in September; anniversary, first
Tuesday night in December.
The grand meet of the Rock Hill Ath-
letic Association has been postponed un-
til May Is. The list of riders who have
promised to come is already long one,
and more are expected. The prizes are
handsome ones and will be exhibited in
Charlotte on the Goth.
The insurance company, with which
the risk on the White Memorial manse
was placed, broke the record for quick
settlement. In two weeks after the fire
occurred, the loss was adjusted, and a
few days later, the money was paid with
out discount. The committee in charge
of the matter already have several plans
before them and in few days will decide
on one and 60 to work.
The house of Mr.. A. G. lizard is now
we'll under way. 1t is just next to the lot
on which the White Memorial manse
stood, and close enough to have been in
danger from the burning Of the latter
building if it had then been in the same
condition as now. Mr.. w. G. Adams is
building Mr.. Izard's house and will make
fine job Of it.
The hour for the opening exercises OF
the graded school was changed this morn
ing from 9 to $50. This is usual in each
spring, but it always causes CONSERVATION
among the cooks and housekeepers.
The day-April 1st-brought some, but
not much, disorder nothing like what
Longstreet describes in his famous work.
Some of the little ones, and larger ones
too, indulged themselves in fun but
most OF our citizens kept OH the even
tenor Of their way.
In our last letter we mentioned Mrs. j.
Leonidas Moore as being quite unwell.
We are glad to say that she is we'll again.
