Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1898-10-01

talked of new variety.
Strauss's Opening.
Mr.. H. C. Strauss's fall opening sale
last Tuesday was largely attended by
buyers from all sections of the county.
At times the store was so crowded that
it was impossible for people to get in
or out. The like has not been seen
in Yorkville for many months.
The Best We Can Do.
For the benefit of our Warren SUBJ
scribers, we beg TO say that the matter
of the irregularity of The ENQUIRER
in arriving at Warren is receiving our
attention. The paper leaves here
regularly, and there is no fault at this
Office. The postoffice authorities have
had their attention called to the mat
ter, and as soon as the trouble can be
located, it will, if possible, be corrected.
Crop Conditions.
Mr.. D. T. Leslie's report of York
county crop conditions to Director
Bauer, for last week, is as follows {:
York-Leslie: Favorable week for
gathering; light rain on 22d did no
damage; cotton picking going on rap
idly, crop will be somewhat lighter
than expected while ago; immense
hay crop; sorghum not good on sandy
lands, very good on clay lands.
In the Supreme Court.
Columbia Register, Wednesday,:
James H. Riddle, as administrator of
c. T. Williams, respondent, VS.. Marion
R. Reese, appellant. Judgment of the

Change of Schedule.
A change of schedule is to 60 into
effect on the o. R. & c. railroad next
Monday, the principal feature of it
being through trains from Columbia
to Marion. The southbound train will
pass Yorkville at 1852 a. M, and ar
rive at Columbia at $40 p. m. The
northbound will pass here at 2.4S
p. M, and arrive at Marion at $50
D. m. There has been talk of prob
able Sunday trains soon but these are
not included in the new schedule.
over Oh Tue DTodu, Aoos
The damage by high water, few
days ago, is not limited to Catawba
river. The farmers who cultivate the
Broad river bottoms also suffered
severely. Mr.. Herod Neal returned
to Yorkville on Wednesday from
trip along the river. He says the
water was over nearly all the bottom
corn from the mouth of Kings creek
on down, and that the damage in
cludes thousands of bushels. The
freshet commenced on Thursday night,
and when Mr.. Neal crossed the river on
Tuesday morning, the water was still
about four feet above the usual level.
The Tirzah Dispensary.
Rock Hill Herald, Wednesday: An
other effort is to be made to close
the Tirzah dispensary. At meeting
of the state board of control in Octo-
ber, petition, signed by about 400
citizens of York township, will be pre-
sented, asking for the abolishment of
the nuisance. The board of control
will have to show their hand-will
have to close the "dram shop" or place
themselves on record as favoring the
sale of whisky in long suffering
community against the protest of the
people who must bear the annoyance,
and that too, for the little profit turned
into the treasury. The action of the
board of control will be watched with
great interest in this county, and
doubtless, in the state.
Turned Upside Down.
A Lenoir special of September 26
says: The two railroads of the county
seem to have suffered very heavily by
the food of Thursday last, the great
est damage on the Carolina & North
western being just below the Catawba
river bridge, where five trestles were
more or less damaged, and the track
