At Hickory Instead of Lenoir.
A telegram from President Harper
advises US that in stating that the
meeting of the stockholders of the
Carolina and Northwestern railroad
would be held at Lenoir, we were mis-
taken. The meeting is to be held at
Hickory, on the date stated-July IA.
The limit for passes returning has been
extended to the 10Th; but those who
desire to attend the meeting without
expense for transportation, must make
application to President Harper be-
forehand rs stated. The railroad peo-
pie are determined to put an end to
the free-for-all custom.
Heavy Rains.
The rains of last Thursday were, so
far as we have information, quite gen.
eral. Over in Rock Hill and vicinity,
from about 9 to II, Thursday morning,
there was what seemed to be verit-
able cloudburst. One shower followed
another until the streets and roads
were flooded. There was much dam
age to crops, especially east of Rock
Hill, by high water. All the little
streams made records for themselves
and much corn was washed away.
Between here and Rock Hill there was
generally good season, without much
damage, especially over in this direc-
ton.
The Health Situation.
mere Is SOuS lOCdl SACltC"Suo ou
account of what is described by some
as the wide prevalence of fever in
Yorkville. AS matter of fact, con-
ditions are not different from what
they usually are at this season of the
year in Yorkville and other Piedmont
towns of the same size. Some timid
persons are honestly frightened, and
there are others who are interested in
working on their fears. For instance,
fever scare is good thing to promote
the sewerage scheme that number of
people have advocated for sometime.
As has been stated, there is some
fever; but physicians differ both as to
its nature and cause. Some assert
dogmatically the cause, and stick to it
until they change their minds. Maybe
lack of sewerage is the trouble and
maybe it is not. If this was the trou-
BILE 10 years ago, it is the trouble yet.
However, there is really no more sense
in a fever scare now than there was
some weeks ago in smallpox scare.
