Fort Mill Notes.
Charlotte Observer, Friday: Mrs. Will
liam Cameron and daughters, Misses
Maggie and Jennie Cameron, of Fort
Mill, S. c., were here yesterday shopping.
There was wedding at Fort Mill Tues
day night. The contracting parties were
Mr.. X. I. Jones and Miss Annie Wolfe.
The. ceremony was performed In the
Methodist church, Rev. Mr.. Campbell,
officiating. Several from Charlotte were
favored with cards.
First "A. Il. fresDytery.
The First A. r. presbytery held its reg
ular spring meeting in Charlotte last
week, and engaged its attention principal
ly with routine matters. Rev. James
Royce, of Huntersville, N. c., was mod
orator.. and Rev. ]. s. Grier, of Sharon,
was chosen as his successor. Rev.. E. B.
Anderson was released from the pastoral
care of Amity congregation. Messrs. X.
f. Hough, of Lancaster, and l.. T. Press
ly, OF North Carolina, were licensed to
preach, and two students preached trial
sermons. The next meeting is to be held
at Neely's Creek, this county.
Will BE Heard by Judge.
1t has been agreed among counsel, that
the railroad construction contract cases
against Jones, Blanton Il Co., be tried be-
fore the Judge this time without jury.
These cases have been pending for sever
al years. They are quite lengthy and
consequently very expensive, not only to
the litigants but to the county. Under
the arrangements agreed upon, each side
will undertake to present the law
from its standpoint, ard in connection
with this, the court will consider the evil
dence already taken and transcribed by
the stenographer. 1t will probably be
quite while before the decision of the
court is announced.
A Fact That Is Significant.
While in Rock Hill last Saturday, the
reporter happened in the postoffice, and
noting the small percentage Of THE EN-
oUIRERs that had arrived there that
morning still on hand, asked Postmaster
Poag this question "As arule, compared
with other papers, how are the subscri-
bers to THE ENQUIRER about calling for
their papers promptly" ?" Mr.. Poag re-
piled "The bundle of ENQUIRERs goes
away from here faster than any other
paper that comes to this Office. l have
noted the fact often. You see the few
that are left from this morning. The
probability is that by night the last one
will be gone" And so it is in Yorkyille,
and all over the county.
Trainload of Bicycles.
The big advertisement of the Monarch
Bicycle company, on another page, is in
teresting. Itgives an idea of the wonder
full proportions of the bicycle business
in this country, and also of the remarka-
BILE demand for Monarchs. But in the
statement contained in the advertisement
there is no occasion for surprise. 1t was
one of the Astors, we believe, who once
made the very wise observation that IF
you have good thing to offer you must
advertise the possession of it, as other
wise people will not know you have it,
and its possession will be of no value to
you." The Monarch people have always
realized that fact, and this is, no doubt,
the secret Of their great sales.
Prohibition Convention.
The South Carolina Prohibitionists will
hold their convention in Columbia to-
morrow night with the avowed intention
of suggesting nomination certainly for
governor and probably for other state
officers. Some of the counties have elect
ed delegates and others have appointed
them. Rev. w. 6. Neville and Mr.. j. B.
Campbell have been credited to York
county. There will probably be a full
representation. Cherokee county is to
be represented by H. P. Griffith, j. L..
Strain and IT. NJ. Littlejohn; Lancaster
by J. A. Weaver, w. C. Thomson, D. A.
Williams and J. NJ. Yoder. The names
of Chester delegates, if any, have not
been published.
They Are Learning.
We have at hand copy Of the Boston
Journal of Commerce, the leading trade
paper of the north, in which there is
long editorial setting forth that the princi-
pal trouble with the cotton mill business
in New England is the old worn out and
generally inferior machinery in many Of
the mills there. If The Journal of Com
merce were subscriber to The YORK
WILLIE ENQUIRER, and had merely re-
produced the talk that this paper had
with Mr.. P. NJ. Grimes, superintendent
of the York Cotton mills, some weeks ago,
it would have been able to present the
case to its readers just as strongly as it
has and without using SO much space.
Comedy Company Coming.
There will be another attraction at the
operahouse ON April ls, 10 and 20. Here
is what the Anderson Intelligencer had
to say about it: The Simpkins-Fabel
Comedy company now playing in the
operahouse here, presents capital show,
we'll worth the charges of admission, 10,
