WHEN THE ANGELS CAME.

IL has been and will be so:
Angels como and angels CO.
Opportunity and Light
Iwixt the morning and the night,
With their messages divine
To your little world and mine.
Aud We wonder why we heard
Not whisper OF their word.
Caught no glimpse of finer grace
In the passing form and face;
Ihat our ears were duh as stones
To the thrill OF spirit tones.
Ana We looked not up, but down,
When the angels came to town.

People tell the story VET

People tell the story yet,
With the pathos of regret.
How along the streets one day.
Unawares, from far away.
Angels passed, with gifts for need.
And no mortal gave them heed.
They had cheer for those who weep
they had light for shadows deep;
Balm for broken hearts they bore.
Rest, deep rest, boundless store.
But the people, 80 they say,
went the old, blind. human way
Aed the quack and hailed the clov n
When the angels came to town.

fourth Tuesday in March, those who are
not satisfied with the assessments may
have the privilege of appearing before
the county board Of equalization and
kicking to it. The trouble is this. Real
estate has been returned this year, and
lots of people have been trying to cut
down all they could. The levy to pay in
terest on railroad bonds had already been
made, and the big cut was likely to re-
duce the tax receipts to point that would
not meet fixed charges. The board of as
SCISSORS deliberately and cold.bloodedly
went to work, did their duty and put re-
turns at something more like the figures
at which they should have been made
originally. People who want to kick, OF
course, have right to do so, and there
may be some who can kick with justice
but, as a rule, it will be found that not
withstanding the raise, few of the returns
are higher than they ought to be.

That Famous Old Fox of Kings Mountain

Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
CLOVER, March 16.-After two hours
hard ru nning by Is swift dogs, we killed
him.
Our party consisted of Mr.. Thos. Allen,
Robert Whitesides, Mccall and myself.
Just before daylight we mounted oul
horses and started for Kings mountain
to have our sport.
This old fox had been run by parties
from all over York and CASTOR counties,
and we considered it quite an honor to be
the ones to catch him.
The famous "Old Rube," owned by
Mr.. Whtesides, first opened on the trail,
upon which we knew our fun had begun.
"Old Ruhe'' was followed close by IA
others, which gave tongue freely.
Mr.. Allen remarked, "Boys, we are
going to make it hot for him !" By this
time all the dogs were running full cry,
as if singing, "We'll catch YOU"
This gave US two hours of the prettiest
music that was ever heard on Kings
mountain. Those who heard the chase
secured impressions that will long be
cherished with pleasure. W. S.

ETA JANE, March l6.-The last foul
days have been like summer weather
and vegetation is putting out fast. A few
gardeners have planted some; but the

will not be until Good Friday.
Wheat is looking very we'll, and with
the quantity sown, should no disaster
come upon it, home-raised flour will be
plentiful hereafter.

seven weeks ago, is getting along slowly
and hopes are still entertained that be

The postoffice appropriation bill,
which came up for consideration in the
house last Tuesday, contains an item
Of Sl50,000 for rural free delivery dur
ing the next fiscal year. This is $780,
900 more than the posto(lice depart
ment had available for the same pur-
pose during the present year. In
addition TO the first named amount the
postmaster general may use for the
purpose stated sum equal to the
aggregate compensation of postmasters,
cost of mail transportation, star route
service and mail messenger service
that may be discontinued by reason OF
the establishment or the rural free de-
livery. Experiments that have been
conducted already by the department
show that the establishment of rural
delivery, in which there's a hearty CO.
operation of the communities inter
ested, the disconlinuance of the offices
of number fourth-class postmasters
and of the services of other employees
can be affected, SO there will be con.
siderable balance to be added to the
general fund Of $150,0O0 to defray the
expenses of free delivery service in
which economy cannot be practiced.

week by party of young people,, who
assembled at the residence of Mr.. G. H.
O'Leary, in Yorkville, for the purpose OF
deyising some means whereby the young
people might lie brought into more init
mate social relations. The object in view
is to bring the young people of the
town together, mi-montbly, in pleasant
amusements and innocent games. An
effort will be made to have the programme
of each meeting different, in order that
as was expressed by one young gentle
man-the members may have something
to look forward to-"
The club is composed of the following
members: Misses Mary Gardner, Essie
Stewart, Annis O'Leary, Addie Williams,
Sudie Allison, Mary Schorb, Jennie Hart,
Maggie Glenn, Mary Hart, Daisy Hart,
Jessie Latimer, Huldah McNeel, Sadie

Star Mason. An election of officers re-
suited in the following being chosen
DIR. NJ. w. White, president; Miss Annis
O'Leary, vice president; Miss Esse Stew
art, secretary; Miss Sadie Dunlap, treas
urer.
The first regular meeting will be held
on Friday evening next at the residence
of Mr.. II. H. Beard. The amusement, as
chosen for the evening, will be progress
sive crokinole. In addition to this, each
member is requested to wear some token
suggesting special fad or hobby. A
prize will be offered for the one who pre-
sents the best representation as decided
by vote of all the members.
The program for each evenings amuse-
ment will be selected by a committee OF
three appointed at the previous meeting.
The evening will, no doubt, prove very
enjoyable and pleasant, and the members
are to be congratulated. The sociability
of the young people will be greatly inn
proved and friendships strengthened and
the organization of the club is commend
ed heartily by ALL. w.

social enjoyment, a Negro named Manly
Earl, from near Kings Mountain, came
along. a difficulty between him and the
white men arose, but was suppressed for
the time by Policeman Duncan, who was
in the vicinity and ordered the Negro
away from the place. The latter obeyed /;
but when Mr.. Duncan left to attend to
some other duties, Earl returned and re-
newed the alteration with the white men.
1t grew more violent until blows were
used, and finally the Negro drew his
pistol and fired four times into the crowd,
one ball striking Mr.. VIM. Humphries in
the abdomen and producing wound
from which, after intense suffering, he
died the next Saturday morning at 3
O'Clock. DR.. D. S. Ramseur was sum-
moned at once to the wounded man and
did all that was possible, but to no avail.
The Negro fled in the excitement and
att empted to make his escape to North

his trail with his bloodhounds, and in
less than an hour, after some fine work
by the dogs, the murderer was captured
lodged in our county Jail at Gaffney.

ministered the holy communion and

The congregations were large at all of
the services, and the splendid work ac-
compiished by Mr.. w. p. Witsell, who
has had charge of the church for the past
two months, was highly appreciated by
all.
