Short Shift of 1t.

ed Mr.. S. NJ. Farris to be magistrate at
Glover, in accordance with the recent rec

Convenience of the Telephone.

weeks. By means of them, news bulle-
tins have been widely distributed.

Stricken With Appoplexy.
A telephone message from Glover yes
terday morning, said that Rev. T. c. Lig-
on, moderator of Bethel presbytery, was
stricken with apoplexy, while speaking,
at $50 Thursday evening, and at ll.30
yesterday morning he was no better. At
the time the message was sent, it was
thought that presbytery would adjourn
at p. m.
1t Was Disappointing.
The fact that THE ENQUIRER failed to
train on Wednesday morning was disap-
pointing to our subscribers at Filbert,
Glover and Bowling Green, etc.; but we
desire to state that it was through no fault
here. The papers were mailed in York.
vile in plenty of time; but by an acci-
dent, wero left in the postoffice, and were
sent up by the freight train.
Kings Mountain Chapter.
A meeting Of the local chapter Of
Daughters of the American Revolution
was held at the residence of Mrs. B. N.
Moore on Wednesday. 1t developed that
the Tennessee ladies who were claiming
the name of Kings Mountain had failed
to complete their organization, and, con-
sequently, were not represented at the re-
cent congress held in Washington. There
being no further obstacle in the way, the
chapter assumed the name "King's Noun
:ain."
Interesting! Why Certainly.
Mr.. G. D. Flanagan, Of Bowling
Green, was in Yorkville this week serv-
ing on the petit jury. He stated to the
reporter that on Wednesday of last week,
a half hour before mail time, he counted
IL of the most representative citizens Of
the neighborhood at the postoffice waiting
on the arrival of The ENQUIRER, and
they were not deadbeats either. They
were bona fide subscribers, who pay for
what they get-other things as we'll as
newspapers. And for the benefit Of all
concerned, it might be remarked that the
same condition of affairs prevails all over
York county.
