LOCAL LACONICS.
Dry Goods Market.

spective concerns have done much to
produce such a result, and if they
have not made the best market in the
state, they have at least made mar
ket that is as good as the best.
They Want to Vote.
Mr.. D. NJ. Hall, of Kings Mountain
township, reports growing scarcity
of labor in his section on account of
the migration of Negroes to North Car
olina, where they think they can pro-
cure great political liberty. He says
that the result of the exodus has be-
come quite perceptible.
Important to Jurors.
On account of the general election
next Tuesday, Judge Gage has signed
an order providing that when court
adjourns this week, it will be until
next Wednesday. Official notice of
the order is given in another column,
and those having business at court
during the second week will govern
themselves accordingly.
Lots Of Hay.
The outlook is that there will be but
little, if any, western hay brought to
Yorkville this winter. The farmers of
the immediate vicinity have raised
more this year than ever before, and
the liverymen and others are laying in
their supplies fl ON the home product.
The ruling price for real good arti-
cle-well cured peavines-is $40 per
ton.
Unpicked Cotton.
All around through the different
sections of the county are to be noticed
great fields of open cotton from which
scarcely boil has been picked. In
some cases the owners of these fields
are waiting until they can secure pick
ers, and in other cases the owners are
merely putting off the picking until
they complete other work that they
consider more important.
From Ribbon Came.
Mr.. S.;"A. MeElwee, of Yorkville,
has successfully followed the lead of
Mr.. Robert Conrad in making molasses
from home.raised ribbon cane. Mr..
McElwee has been experimenting with
ribbon cane for. two or three years,
and this year has produced an excel
lent quality of molasses. He is en-
couraged to continue his experiments
on a larger scale, and believes that he
can make the business profitable.
DIspensary Closed.
The Tirzah dispensary was closed
yesterday in accordance with the
recent order of the state board of
control. Since the date of the clos
ing order, Dispenser Allison has not
been trying to keep up his stock (;
but rather to get rid of what he had
on hand. The stock now, therefore,
consists of odds and ends, and not
a great quantity of these. The freight
bill on the stuff that will have to be
shipped, will not be especially heavy.
In More Trouble.
After securing his release from the
clutches of the state court, which held
him for violation of the dispensary,
last Monday, Edward G. Cation was
arrested by Deputy United States Mar
shal Dobson for violation of the inter-
nal revenue laws. He is charged with
having in his possession more than
five gallons of unstamped liquor. He
was released on bond of 5000 to BE-
cure his appearance at a preliminary
examination to be held on November
18th, 1898.
Something Of Riot.
/ Tirzah has been inclined to be some
what riotous at times during the past
few weeks. There was big row there
one day last week, and as the result
of preliminary hearing before Mag
istrate Sandifer, last Saturday, three
of the accused distur6ers of the peace
were bound over to the court of gener-
al sessions for trial. From now on,
however, the little town is likely to
settle down to legitimate business, and
become the prosperous place it proba-
bly, would have heen had it not been
for the bad influence of the dispensary.
Everybody Invited.
Any gentleman or lady, boy or girl,
who desires to do so, is invited to get
up a club of subscribers to The EN-
oUIRER. The work is easy and SIM
pie, and the pay is in proportion. Al
most anybody can get two or more
names with the money for them with
but little difficulty, and with persistent
effort the size of clubs may be swelled
steadily. We hope this year to have
the cooperation not only of all our
old club-makers; but also of quite
number of new ones. The best time
to begin is right now-today.
For Instance.
The Lancaster Enterprise of last
Saturday has this statement: "Cotton
is worth ST cents" THE ENQUIRER
is not in the cotton business; but on
that day it would have been willing
