A very pretty June wedding, of
much beauty and charm, was solem-

young lady, has large following of
friends, and is a fine looking bru-
nette. Mr. Hill, a remarkably hand
some young man, is telegraph op-

Destructive Storm.

The most severe storm of the sea-
son passed over this section of the
state last Thursday afternoon and
evening. 1t consisted of very heavy
rain, high wind and fierce lightning.
All these elements contributed to a
considerable aggregate damage. The
down pour of rain washed gardens
and fields somewhat to the injury of
crops. The wind wrecked number
of barns and outbuildings and the
lightning set at least one fire and
killed several head of stock.
Joseph Bennett, residing just out
side the city limits on the east, had
his barn struck by lightning about
10 o'clock Thursday night, and the
whole structure, with contents was
consumed, together with some stacks
of hay and straw near by. Being
situated on hill, the fire was seen
from this city soon after it started,
but before anyone from town could
reach there the building was heap
of ashes. The loss is partially COW
cred by a policy in the Lafayette
County Mutual Insurance company.
Friday morning, when Mr.. VIM.
Skinner, of the town of Fayette,
about 10 miles southeast Of this city,
went into his pasture to salt his cat
tie he found thirteen fine steers lying
dead within few rods of each other,
undoubtedly all killed by one bolt of
lightning during the night previous.
There was no evidence the electric
ity touched the fence or large tree
near which the steers lay. Appar-
emily the bolt struck in the midst OF
the animals as they stood near to-
gether. Fourteen other steers in the
same pasture were found unharmed.
On Thursday afternoon two barns
on the farm of Jos. Van Matre, also
in the town of Fayette, and about
two miles from SINNERS, were
wrecked by wind. one building
wss lifted into the air and wholly
demolished, the fragments scattered
broadcast over several acres. The
larger of the two barns was partially
insured.
Among minor damages by the
same storm, Henry Bennett, of Min
eral Point town, bad a calf killed by
lightning.

Ar meeting of the executive
committee of the Iowa County Agri-
cultural Society, at Dodgeville last
Saturday, it was decided to change
the date for the annual fair for 1897
to August 10 --- IL, the week preced
ing that at Mineral Point. While
this is generally thought to be too
early for an agricultural fair, it is, no
-. a. 4 1,at a
under the circumstances. We hope
people of the county and of Miner
al Point especially will support the
county fair so generously thus the
early date may not be found disad-
vantage. If the difficulties encount-
cred this year result in conference
of officials of competing fairs in fut-
ure before fixing dates, the exper-
ience will not be holly lost.

Hurt in a Mine.

Some two months ago James Pol
glaze departed for Colorado TO en-
gage in mining with the hope of do
ing better in the support of his
wife and eight children. Work was
secured shortly after his arrival in
the silver state, and everything
seemed encouraging until about a
week ago when he met with an acci-
dent that will set him back.
He was at work nj the bottom of
the shaft when the foul air became
so dense that he could not stand it,
so he started to ascend, but when
some way up his strength failed him,
and fell to the bottom, striking
the back of his head. Associates
brought him to the surface and he
was removed to hospital, where
upon examination it was found that
no bones were broken.
The latest reports received are that
he is improving and will be able to
resume work soolI.

Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
COTTON, February 13.-The dark cor
ner" is the dark corner no longer. The
building of the Lockhart Cotton mills,
which employ about 700 hands, puts in
this section an important business centre
that gives promise of much material
progress. The town of Lockhart now
has about l 800 inhabitants, and the farm
ers of this section realize a wonderful
advantage therefrom.
Broad river was higher last week than
it has been for several years. The flat at
Pinckney ferry left for the sea few days
ago, and as to whether we will ever get
another is doubtful, as there is hardly
enough crossing to pay expenses.
Mr.. J. E. Robinson, who has had the
grip, is better. Mr.. John D. Smarr, who
has been i'll for sometime, is improving.
Mr.. John w. Feemster's baby is better.
Mr.. w. c. Thomson has gone to Ar
kansas on visit.
Mr.. R. G. Thomson and son Park, of
Gaffney are spending while down on
their plantation.
We have a new school house near this
place, and from the looks of things
around, it should be called the Cotton
High school. 1t is in charge of Miss
Alice Littlejohn, of "Star Farm"
Messrs. John w. Feemster and John

CARD FROM MR.. GRIER.
Did Not Go Behind the Petition Presented
to the State Board.

Did Not Go Behind the Petition Presented
to the State Board.
In a recent issue of THE ENQUIRER
there was an incorrect statement taken
from the Columbia Register.
This paper referred to the petitions pre-
sented to the board Of control for the
closing of the dispensary at Tirzah station,
and claimed that one of the reasons was
the violation OF the law. This is not true.
There was no such reasons mentioned in
the petition, nor was it claimed by me
that the law was not observed. The fact
is that the people want the dispensary
closed because it is growing, corrupting,
and demoralizing source of evil in their
midst, and this is true whether the law be
observed or not. desire to publish this
that there be no unfairness to anyone,
and that the board and the public may
know the true grounds upon which we
ask relief in the closing of the dispensary.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
Brief Summary of What Is Being Done by
House and Senate.

Brief Summary of What Is Being Done by
House and Senate.
The bill to equalize the railroad fare
of students attending Winthrop college
was discussed on Friday. The bill
provides for the aggregation of the
travelling expenses OF. all the students,
and after striking an average, to re-
quire each student to pay the same
amount. Mr.. deLoach fought the bill
with much energy. He recited among
other things the fact that the people
of Rock Hill had given 100000 to this
college in order to secure its location
in their midst, and now to make these
people, who live right at the school
pay travelling expenses equal to those
paid by students coming clear across,
the state, is, TO say the least, unjust.
The bill went over without action.
Mr.. o. M. Miles, of Spartanburg,
was elected a member of the state
board of control to fill the unexpired
term of Mr.. Nicholson, deceased, and
Mr.. NJ. R. Cooper, of Colleton, was
elected to fill the unexpired term OF
MIR. T. NJ. Allen, of York, resigned.
Julian Mitchell, of Charleston B. M.
Shuman, of Greenville; Robert Nc
Farland, of Darlington and DR.. w.
T. c. Bates, of Orangeburg, were
elected trustees of the South Carolina
college, and Prof. w. K Sigh, of New
berry, was elected trustee of the COL
ored state college.
Among the important house bills
passed to third reading by the SEN
ale on Friday, were the following: A
bill making it a misdemeaner for coun-
ty officers to receive rebates on pur-
chases of books and printed station
cry, etc., from corporations or individ.
uals; bill to reduce the required
height of a lawful fence bill to amend
the act creating the special school dis
trict Of Yorkville.
The bill to allow Rock Hill to have
a special board of assessors was killed.
The Epps cigarette bill was called
up in the senate on Saturday and MIR.
Mayfeld wanted to strike out the en-
acting clause. He Withdrew the mo-
ton on account of the absence of sew.
eral senators who were especially de-
sirous of putting themselves on record
for and against the bill.
