"Who's who?"
With today's issue, is commenced the
publication of new serial entitled "Who's
Who?" Though slightly unnatural in
some of it's features, the story is none the
less interesting, and will prove unusually
entertaining throughout. No reader OF
Of THE ENQUIRER should fail to start
with the opening chapters.
Killed on the Rail.
A special of Saturday from Florence to
to the Columbia State, says: "Major j.
NJ. Mayo, formerly of Whitaker, N. c.,
now of Ocala, Fla, was killed by train
on a street in the town today. He was
walking across the track with an UNI
brella raised and was unconscious of dan
ger. The engineer gave the alarm sig
nals."
Rev. Alexander Sprunt, ID. d.
Davidson college has conferred the de-
gree of doctor of divinity on Rev. Alex
ander Sprunt, pastor of the First Presby-
terian church Of Rock Hill. The men,
bers of Mr.. Sprunt's congregation and his
numerous friends and acquaintances else
where, agree that the honor has been
most worthily bestowed.
Inspection of the Road Work.
The county board of commissioners
made an inspection of the road work be-
tween Tirzah and Ebenezer yesterday.
The routine and progress Of the work,
however, has already been fully describ-
ed in THE ENQUIRER, and retelling OF
the story would hardly be justified. 1t
was for this reason that we have not seen
fit to send reporter along on the tour OF
| inspection.
Heavy Hailstorm.
A heavy hailstorm passed over Sec
ton of country from three to six miles
northwest of Yorkville last Saturday af-
ternoon, doing more or less damage to
the farms of Messrs. D. G. Clark, Emmet
Walker and others. AS to the exact
extent of the damage, THE EN-
orIRER has not been able to gather in
formation but the understanding is
that no crops have been entirely ruined.
Wise and Business Like.
1t is reported that the Lockhart Cotton
Manufacturing company has adopted an
unusually intelligent policy toward its
employes. A handsome tennis court

the recreation of employees, the imme-
diate premises of the mill are being gra-
ded and beautified, and other improve
ments are under contemplation. Pacolet

Did Not Know When She Was Home.
Charlotte Observer, Saturday: Mrs. T..
J. Austin, wife Of the Populist squire,
went to Columbia, S. c., Thursday, on
the picnic excursion. She rode in the
rear coach, which was reserved especially
for Rock Hill people. On the return trip,
when the train reached Rock Hill, some
mischievous boy hollered out "Char-
lotte % and Mrs. Austin hustled out. AS
soon as she was on the ground, she real
lied her mistake; but the train had begun
to move and she was afraid to attempt to
board it. She spent the night at the ho-
tel, and came home yesterday morning.
Squire Austin threatened yesterday to
bring suit against the "Seceders' for
damages.
