Reward Paid.
The State, Friday: Governor Ell
lerbe yesterday issued warrant in
favor of VIM. Phillips, of Cherokee
county, who captured Lum Moore,
who was wanted for murder. Moore
was tried at the last term of court in
Cherokee and convicted, with recon-
mendation to mercy. The reward of
$3.50, which had been offered for the
apprehension, will be paid.
Three-Legged Chicken.
Miss Maggie McFadden, who boards
with Captain and Mrs. Crawford, just
across the street, brought over to The
ENQUIRER Office on last Wednesday a
newly-hatched little chicken that has
three legs. The little chick is very
much alive, and except for the serious
handicap of an extra leg, which
though fully developed-is altogether
useless, is quite lively.
Referees Court.
A referees COURT. Lyles Glenn,
ESQ.,, of Chester, presiding-has been
in progress in Yorkville during the
past week, taking the testimony in
two lengthy cases. One of the cases
is the result of difference between
Messrs. r. N. McE)wee and William
Dickson over an account. The amount
in dispute is a little over 800. The
other case is that of the Exchange
Bank of Yorkville against J. N. Nc
Dill, and involves something over
$4,000 in the shape of an alleged
security debt.
Cotton Picking.
The prices being paid for cotton
picking this year are the lowest on
record-335 cents, per hundred near
the towns and 25' and 80 cents in the
country. Although there seems to be
general scarcity Of labor, there has
not been a great deal of complaint.
Even at these prices, the piekers are
able to make more money per day than
at almost any other labor they can
get, and after all, considering the mar
ket value of the lint, 25, 80 and 3St
cents per hundred for picking are a
pretty fair divide.
Another o. R. & @. victory.
