CHAT FROM CHEROKEE.

The Proposed Cowpens Monument-An-
nual Picnic Of the Antioch Band-Flat
at Howelrs-Other Notes.
Correspondence Of the Yorkyille Enquirer.
Eta JANE, June 30.-Those who have
taken an interest in 1t are very ssnguine
that the Cowpens battle ground park is
vet to be reality. 1t should be so. Not
only for the sake of Cherokee county, but
for all the other counties Of the state as
well, for all did their part in common
with North Carolina, Georgia and Ten
nessee in making it one of the most re-
nowned battlefields of the Revolution
and consequently our state and national
pride should actuate us to have it pre-
served that future generations may'vene-
rate the gallant deeds done there which
eliminated in the independence OF Amer
lea. York, Union and Spartanburg coun-
ties ought especially to feel an interest
and pride in this matter, as they are the
maternal ancestors of the new county OF
Cherokee, within whose limits this sccred
spot lies.
I regret that I am unable to attend the
annual picnic of the Antioch band, on the
Kings Mountain battle-ground, on the 3rd

Sometime ago, THE ENQUIRER init
mated that the charges against CASTOR and
Scruggs, of Beckroge trunk fame, were
really trivial, and on account OF this sug-
gestion there was more or less criticism
mostly adverse. We did not know any
thing about the men personally, and dc
not know anything about them yet. The
DEVELOPMENTS, however, as published in
the papers, seemed to show that while
they had been indiscreet, they were guilty
of nothing criminal, and it was upon this
that our suggestion was based. We note
by the papers that both cases have been
thrown out by tho grand jury, and ac'
cordingly it would appear that, after all
our suggestion was not far from right.

invited. The occasion, am sure, will be
a very pleasant one, and we hope those

many pleasures which otherwise they
might enjoy.
Kings Mountain and Cowpen's stand

THE BICYCLE CLUB.

The Yorkville Bicycle club met on the
Garrison green last Tuesday afternoon
the president-Mr. G.. H. O'Leary-in tht
chair, and Mr.. w. NJ. Propst, secretary
keeping the record. About 30 members
were present.
Upon the sugges' ion of the committee
appointed to look into the matter, yellow
and black were adopted as the colors o
the club.
The committee on bylaws submitted {
carefully prepared report, which, upol
discussion, was adopted. 1t Is provided
that the club be under the government o
an executive committee consisting of, nin'
members, and including the president
two vice presidents and secretar: anc
treasurer. The annual dues were dxeC
at so cents each for grown people, ant
25 cents for boys and girls under IA year
of age. New members may be admitted
by the executive committee upon pay
ment Of dues and signing of by-la2s.
DR.. Kuykendal, as chairman, submit
ted the report of the committee appoint
ed at the last meeting to 60 before tn
council in behalf Of the proposed bicycle
ordinance. The doctor was somewha
humorous in his remarks, saying that th'
experience of the committee was rather
stormy in the first portion of its inter
view; but during calm that followed
the storm, the council was duly impress
ed with the reasonabfeness of the reques
preferred, and kindly ordained it to b.
the law of the town.
President O'Leary made suggestion
to the effect that the club direct its ener
gies toward the securing of better road
outside of the town, and signified his will
ingness to make contribution for th'
purpose.
| 1t was decided that meetings of the clul
be held every Friday afternoon from th'
first of May to the first of September, ant
that from the first of September to the
first of May, it would 60 into winter quar-
ters.

SO it seems that the town council pur-
noses to take the law and the evidence as
to holding two offices and receiving COM
pensation, etc., published in THE EN-
oU1RER of Wednesday, as a joke. They
have not even seen fit to censure the ar
ticle as "fabrication," or "unbecom-
ing" They seem inclined to ignore the
whole matter and continue on in the even
tenor of their way. If this be true, the
presumption, then, is that they have been
aware of the facts all the time, and the
matter of two offices and free water COM
pensation is not the result of little mis-
take but the development Of deliberate
purpose.

Suppose man should subscribe to a

that this man was, to his own pecuniary

suppose again, such man should, under
the lash of criticism, sign statement in

individual supposed to have applied the

Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
BLACKsBURG, July 2.-This month is
ushered in at a pretty high rate of tenn
perature, which, with the recent rains we
have had, is of great benefit to the crops.
It is what the farmers call "growing
weather." and what they are always
pleased to see. Corn and cotton have
taken on a vigorous growth, are generally
well worked, and the prospects for good
crops are very encouraging. The thresh-
ers are on their yearly rounds, and 80 far
as have heard, the yield Of small grain
is very good.
The District Conference of the NJ. E.
Church South, will be held at this place
next week, beginning on Thursday morn
ing, the sth inst. About 25 lay and cleri-
cal delegates are expected. Bishop Dun
can, of Spartanburg, will preside over
the meeting.
A delightful house and lawn party was
given at the grounds and residence of
Mr.. Otis Osborne, on Tuesday evening,
for the benefit of the Methodist church
at this place. The whole place was bril-
liantly lighted. ice cream and cake were
served, there was music and singing,
the evening was pleasantly and profitably
spent, and quite liberal sum was real
lied for the church.
There will be picnic at Kings Noun
tain Battle Ground tomorrow, in honor of
the Fourth and the heroes who fought and
won that decisive battle. Speeches will
be made by DR.. B. F. Dixon, Of Kings
