honor of the bride.
General Order of Suspension.
On account of failure to comply with
some of the requirements of the League
of American Wheelmen, the Glover Bicy
Gle club and track mas been temporarily
placed under the ban of that organization.
The Glover people, it seems, failed to get
the sanction of the IL. A. W." before
pulling off their races, and so the 81. a.
W." has decided to rule out the Glover
people and all the riders who rode on
the track. By the way, the 81. A. WV is
rather too large a thing anyhow. A
North and South Carolina association
would suit this section rather better.
Sold For $5.
United States Deputy Marshal r. H.
Dobson sold, at public auction, last Satur-
day, a copper distilling outfit recently
seized by the government. 1t had, as u.s.
ual, of course, been cut up and rendered
unfit for use except as old copper, and
brought only S.. Up in the mountains
such "old copper brings much better
prices. No matter how badly it may be
mutiated, there are those who know how
to patch it up again and make 1t do al
most as good service as when new.

ton of persons who wish to go by the mar
row gauge railroad, we are authorized to

Thursday, will connect at Chester with

Price Of Cotton.
The price of cotton on the Yorkville
market, yesterday, was from % to 6.lo.
None was sold at the figures first men
toned. These represent about what the
staple is worth for export, and the other
figures show how badly it is wanted by
the mills. There is striking peculiarly
about the market that has not been noted
here before. Heretofore, at this season, all
kinds of cotton has been selling at pretty
much the same price. This year grade
makes big difference. While the best
cotton seems to bring as high as 6.l5 easily
enough, the poorer grades range quickly
down to the other figure. The New York
future market closed firm OH Monday
with sales Of 14l, 200 bales as follows
January Gal; February Gas; March 6.4 ;
April 6.54; May 6. .5S June 6.62 ; July 6.49 ;
October 6.34; November 6.33: December
6.37.
The Chester Weather Prophet.
Frost did not turn up on October 2, as
predicted by the katydid. The day was
so warm as to be oppressive, and the ka-
tydid would not have been much more
uncomfortable than when he made his
announ cement. The prediction of the
Chester prophet for the period covered
during the past few days is as follows
From to 5, cool, clear and windy with
light frost on low ground" This predic-
ton was published on September %.
Though Saturday was warm and calm, 1t
will be remembered that strong wind
arose Saturday night, and before morn
ing, the Sd, it was quite cool-indeed cool
emo ugh for blanket. 1t was also cool
during the day. and there was cool wind
during Monday. AS to whether there
has been any "frost on low places" in this
section, cannot be definitely stated. 1t is
not likely, however, that there was. But
taken altogether the Chester prophet
seems to have had pretty good idea OF
what he was talking about.
An Object Lesion.
A big, wide-tired wagon, drawn by two
mules loaded with l 100 feet of green lum-
her, attracted considerable attention
while passing through the streets OF
Yorkville last Saturday. The outfit be-
longed to Sheriff Logan, and, as the re-
porter afterward learned, the load was
being taken to Mr.. w. H. Hicklin, at
Guthriesville. But this was not the
point. 1t was the heavy load that caused
comment. Upon being asked about the
matter, Sheriff Logan said that under the
same conditions-with the roads as they
are now-he could easily bring such
load from his saw mill at Kings Noun
tain to Yorkville in day. In the will
ter, when the roads are bad, he could not
haul more than one-third as much. And
here is the lesson. Such team, with
driver, is easily worth g day. Then for
81, one can do as much hauling over good
roads, as he can over bad roads for 81.
The advantage of good roads over bad,
then, is Just a per team per day. Any
body see anything wrong with this calcu'
lation?
