A Fine Specimen.
DIR. J. B. Allison left at THE ENQUIRER
office on Thursday morning a cotton
stalk, about % feet high and containing

that we have seen this season.

s25 or Thirty Days.
The case of Rev. John II. Turner, col
ored, charged with carrying concealed
weapons, was tried before Magistrate
Sandifer and jury yesterday. The jury
returned verdict of guilty, and Magis-
trate Sandifer imposed sentence of S25
fine or 80 days on the chaingang. j. r.
Hart, ESQ.,, attorney for Turner, prompt
ly gave notice of an appeal to the court OF
general sessions.
The County Commissioners.
Next Monday, July. 5, is the day for the
regular quarterly meeting Of the county
board of commissioners. Some of the
papers have said Tuesday but they have
| it mixed. When the board appoints a
meeting it usually selects Tuesday; but
the regular meetings prescribed by law are
required to be held on Mondays. The
Catawba river bridge question will proba-
bly, be the most important matter to come
up for discussion.
Experience Was Different.
Mr.. J. F. Wallace was among the visi-
tors to the Nashville exposition; but his
experience was different from that re-
cited in THE ENQUIRER of Wednesday.
He got first-class boarding house at
reasonable rates, and did not have to pay
more than so or 90 cents each for the best
of meals and like sum for bed. He
was aware that many of the York vete-
rams had been deceived and gouged; but
at the same time he saw in Nashville a
great deal that was deserving of being put
down as genuine, wholesouled hospital
ity. He enjoyed the trip very much.
sustains the Congregation.
Bishop Clinton, colored. of the African
Zion Methodist Episcopal church, was in
York Vile on Tuesday in connection with
the Turner vs.. the congregation ~ow.
| The reporter is informed that the k!shaD
declared that Turner had resign,d, tas
resignation had been accepted in due form,
and that so far as he was concerned that
settled the matter. The section from the
book of church government quoted BY
Rev. Turner did not apply to the case at
all, as the provision was only for the
removal of preachers and had nothing to
do with designations, which might be ten
dered at anytime. The understanding is
that Turner has given up the fight except
that he may try to get his back salary.
Gets There With Honey.
Rock Hill Herald: Mr.. H. M. Simp-
son, of Catawba Junction, is very sue
cessful "all around" farmer; but his bee
farm is proportionately the best invest
| ment he has yet made. His apiary con-
tains about 100 hives at his home at
Catawba, and another of so hives at his
place on Fishing creek. Last year he
obtained 5000 pounds of delicious honey,
which finds ready sale at l21 cents per
pound. Mr.. Simpson his patent ma
chine for separating the honey from the
comb, extracting every drop Of the syrup
and leaving the comb intact, not cell
being broken. When replaced in the
hive the bees CONNER ce to refill them
Immediately.
Was For Last Yes.
The S25 salary recently voted by the
town council for Mr.. T. w. Clawson as
health officer, WIS for alleged services last
year, while that gentleman was also a
member of the board of health. From
member of the former council, the repor-
ter learns that the question was brought
up before the former council went out Of
office; but was killed on a tie vote, the
vote of the intendant to pay the amount,
making the tie. In the present council
the proposition is said to have been TO
pay Health Officer Clawson $40. War
dens Parish and Pegram were both oppo-
sed to the proposition on the ground that
the services were not worth that sum.
Finally, however, Warden Parish sug-
eested that the amount should not be
more than $25. Warden Pegram did not
vote for this sum. AS to whether or not
| Warden Parish voted for it, our infor-
mant is unable to say. 1t is fact, how
ever, that the council agreed to pay the
sum of SIS, and it is presumed that the
amount has been paid.
