Blind Tigers.
Blind tigers still flourish in York.
Vile. There is no use to try to deny
that fact. They will probably be here
always. But they are not so bold as
they have been. Since the municipal
authorities have begun to show de-
termination to deal rather firmly with
them, they are growing more cautious.
People who are interested in the situa-
ton, have good reason to hope for still
further improvement.
The Confederate Rolls.
Colonel John P. Thomas, of Colum-
bia, was in Yorkville, on Wednesday
and Thursday having corrections made
in Confederate rolls. With the excep-
ton of about dozen companies the
rolls are now complete, and at the
next session of the general assembly
Colonel Thomas hopes to report that
his commission has been discharged.
Colonel Thomas has many friends in
Yorkville and they were delighted to
have the pleasure of greeting him du-
ring his visit.
A Fine Entry List.
The entry list for the races next
Wednesday is. s.considered by the wheel
men to be one Of the best that has yet
been presented in this section. With
Schade and the other Washington pro-
fessionals out of it, the results are not
a foregone conclusion. John Ardrey,
Sam Meacham, Oscar Neil aud Hope
Brison are all crack riders but the
situation is such that there is no GER
tainty that any of them will be win
ners. There is plenty of probability
yet Of all the honors being carried off
by dark horses already entered or yet
to enter.

Weston, a teacher in the colored
schools of Charleston. There were
4S teachers in attendance on Wednes-
day and the attendance generally has
been good. The directors of the in

interesting and the teachers consider
that they have derived much benefit.
