1t Brought the Mail.
The nortbbound passenger train over
the Carolina and North-W estern, last
Monday, was little late, and to the SUR
prise and qualification of everybody, it
brought the mail. How the people up
the road at those North Carolina connec-
tions Jared that day we have not heard.
Taylor Barron.
The marriage of Miss Cora Taylor and
Mr.. Samuel w. Barron took place at the
residence of the brides parents at New
port, last Wednesday afternoon, at 4
o'clock, the ceremony being performed
by Rev. B. H. Grier, of Yorkville. Only
few special friends of the young people
were present. The proposed reception at
the home of the the groom's mother was
not held.
Not Ready to Give Up.
The Yorkville chapter of D. A. r. is
not yet ready to give up the name "King's
Mountain" State officers of the organi-
zation have interested themselves in the
matter, and will try to secure compro-
mise whereby "King's Mountain Battle
Chapter" or Battle of Kings Mountain
Chapter" or something of the kind, con-
tanning the historic name so closely iden-
tilted with this locality, may be adopted.
Same Old Firm.
In another column is the announce
ment that Judge I. D. Witherspoon and
G. E. Spencer, Esq, have associated them
selves for the practice of law. 1t is mere
ly the renewal of the old association,
which existed before Judge Witherspoon
was elevated to the bench. The judge
will have his office over the Loan and
Savings bank, and Mr.. Spencer will con-
tinue in the office he IS now occupying.
That the firm is strong one goes without
saying.
Helping the Orphanage.
Rev. J. P. Knox, of Hickory Grove,
was in Yorkvlle yesterday, and upon
inquiry he informed the reporter that
three or four days after the publication
of the cut and sketch of the Hickory
Grove orphanage, he received from an
anonymous contributor i'm Yorkville the
sum of s., and that he has since received
other letters of inquiry as to the needs
of the children. There are in York
county many people who are always
willing to help worthy causes when they
are advised Of them.

Wanted to Fight.
The first intimation of the blowing up
of the Maine in the harbor of Havana,
came to Yorkvlle on Wednesday morn
ing over the phone, having been sent to
THE ENQUIRER by Mr.. w. A. Dye,
from Chester. He had seen the statement
in the morning papers which do not reach
here until about IL o'clock. When the
news was put out on the street, it created
considerable excitement and many of the
younger men got to talking of volunteer
ing at once.
Profuse In Promises.
Mr.. Nichols, the virtual owner of the
Carolina and North Western railway,
was in Yorkville one day last week. He
said that he had heard the cry of distress
that is going up at this place, and init
mated that he was going to heed it. He
ev en- said something about special be-
tween Gastonia and Chester "in the sum-
rner time when the road gets good" but
somehow or other we fear that it is all
empty talk.
Gone to Pasteur.
Rock Hill Herald, Tuesday: Miss Yes
sic, daughter of Mr.. w. j. Poag, went to
the Pasteur Institute in Baltimore last
Thursday night, accompanied by her
cousin, DR.. w. A. Presley. Miss Poag,
it will be remembered, was attacked a
few days ago by dog supposed to be
rabid, and as there was slight ahrasure
on one hand and another on her body,
which may or may not have been made
by the dogs teeth, Mr.. Poag concluded
he would run no risks by awaiting the
result of the test made of the dogs head,
but enter his daughter in the institute at
once for treatment.
Buried Apples.
Mr.. r. A. Jackson, of Newport, brought
to THE ENQUIRER office, last Wednes-
day, an apple which had been buried in
the ground all winter and which was still
in fairly good state of preservation.
Mr.. Jackson explained that he covered
some apples up with his plow about the
first of last July, and uncovered them in
the same manner on last Tuesday. Both
