much reluctance will have to let it gc

Registration.
Last Saturday was the last day of regis
tration under the understanding clause
of the constitution. The registration Of

Bible Glass.
Rev. b. II. Grier announced last Sum
day that, in connection with the regular
Wednesday afternoon prayer-meeting, he
would, this afternoon, organize with as
many members as came to join, class
for bible study. He hopes that quite

They VIII Happen.
AS the result of a curious error that was
entirely the fault of the reporter, tn
ENQUIRER stated last Saturday that the
Bivens- McElwee marriage ceremony was
performed by Rev. w. G. Neville. Miss
McElwee is a member Of the Yorkville
A. r. P. church, and her own pastor,
Rev. b. H. Grier, of course, was the Of
ficiating minister.
The Salesday Crowd.
1t was big, busy, we'll behaved crowd
from all parts of the county that was in
Yorkville last Monday, and business OF
all kinds was good. Even THE ENQUIR-
Err came in for nice little share, not as
much probably as the Ganson Dry Goods
company and II. c. Strauss; but still
enough to make the old gentleman who
attends to the subscription books some
what impatient about his dinner.

ing the Globe Cotton Mill, of Rock Hill,

A Small Fire.
The alarm of fire was raised last Sun
day night at about II o'clock, just in time
probably to save the residence of w. B.
de Loach, Esq. The fire was in kitchen
on the premises, and the flames were
fortunately eXtinguished before they had
time to make much headway. Otherwise
the residence, which is beyond the reach
of the water mains, would have been il
serious danger.
York County Pecans.
Mr.. r. l.. Hays, of Hoodtown, has sem
THE ENQUIRER about half gallon o
pecans that were gathered from tree il
his yard. The tree was planted grea
many years ago, and has previously beer
described in these columns but as to jus
what date we are unable to remember
The nuts, though not quite so large a
some of the finest specimens we hav'
seen, compare very favorably with sucl
as are ordinarily sold in the stores.

The Charlotte Road.
The chaingang is still pegging away a

work is now being done at the creek to
ward raising the roadbed, and construct
ing crossing which will, at all times, b
safe and easy. Mr.. w. 5. Gordon, of tn
