in Clover last Tuesday, il was unani-
mously resolved to increase the capital
stock from $3.50, 900 to 100000. The
books of the company will be opened
for the purpose of receiving subscrip-

An Important Enterprise.
The brick making plant of Mr.. w.
n. Ashe, near the o. R. & G. depot,
has cut quite an important figure in
the business of Yorkville this summer.
Mr.. Ashe has been making brick at the
rate of about 100000 week, and so
far has made over 100000. Of these
about 100000 have been sold and de-
livered. The enterprise furnishes con-
slant employment to large number
of hands, and also market for quite
q quantity of wood.
1t Works Nicely.
There have been lots of peavines
cured in this county according to the
plan recently given out by Mr.. Jno. R.
Asbe, and so far as we have heard, in
each case where Mr.. Ashes directions
were intelligently followed, the result
was a complete success. Mr.. G. R.
Wallace, of the Beth-Shiloh neighbor-
hood, has been bringing in some of the
finest peavine hay that has come
to this market. He has sold Is or 20
tons here. 1t was cured according to
Mr.. Ashes plan.
jackson to Be Hanged.
Rock Hill Herald: Joe Jackson, the
Negro who was charged with assault
ing a weak minded white girl, Minnie
Brown, near Croft, in Mecklenburg
county, n. c., about a month ago, was
tried in Charlotte last week and found
guilty. He was sentenced TO be hang
ed on the Goth of December. The
evidence fixed the guilt on Jackson
beyond a doubt. He formerly lived
in Yorkville, where, we understand,
he was not regarded as bad man.
Not Much Damaged.
Mr.. T. B. McClain has, so far, gotten
about one-fourth of his corn crop
shredded, and corn from that portion
slowed away. He estimates that the
damaged corn-that which is damaged
to such an extent as to make it unfit
to feed to horses and mules-does not
amount to more than ST per cent.
The damaged corn is being ground in
a mill which makes coarse meal of
cob and grain together, and this meal
will be used for the purpose of fatten-
ing hogs.
