the occasion was thoroughly enjoyed.
Down to a Fine Point.
Making, as it says it does, a COM
plete buggy every AZ minutes and IA
seconds, the Rock Hill Buggy COM
pany evidently has its business down
to pretty fine point.
AS to Blind Tigers.
Blind tigers are about to take the
town; but they do not have to be
"blind" to operate at will in Rock
Hill.-Rock Hill Herald. That is hon
est. The tigers may not be so bad
over this way; but they are here all
the same.
United States Petit Jurors.
The following citizens of York coun-
ty have been drawn to serve as petit
jurors at the February term of the
United States district court, to be held
in Greenville: Geo. L. Riddle, S. M.
Fewell, Wade II. Hicklin and A. B.
Ferguson.
End of the War.
The general impression is that this
is about the last week of the war. 1t
is reasonably certain that telegraphic
news on press days, worth delaying
the paper for, would be mere matter
of accident, and until another necessi-
ty arrives for a resort to the telegraph,
THE ENQUIRER will 60 to press
promptly at $50 p. M, with only one
edition as before the breaking out of
the war.
They Know How.
That picnic at Sharon, next Satur-
day, promises to be no small affair.
The Sharon people have given num-
ber of picnics during the past 10 years
and all of them have been highly sue
cessful. For one thing there is always
lots to eat in the Sharon neighbor-
hood, and on picnic occasions there is
no disposition to hold it back.
Lum Dodds Convicted.
Rock Hill Herald Lum Dodds,
who was tried in the United States
circuit court at Greenville last week
for stealing mail pouch at the South
ern depot several months ago, was
convicted and sentenced to term
of IS months at hard labor in the
South Carolina penitentiary. The
evidence against Lum was such as to
cause the judge to instruct the jury
not to convict on it; but his own tes-
timony convinced the judge and jury
of his guilt. Hence his conviction.
Snollygoster Ham.
The Carolina and Northwestern
railroad is advertising another excur-
sion to Cliffs, N. c., on next Wednes-
day, August II. The occasion is to
be picnic and a lecture by "Snolly-
goster" Ham, of Georgia. There have
been several of these excursions this
summer, and all have been very sue
cessful. And there is good reason
that they should be. One of their
special objects is to show how clever
the Carolina and North Western peo-
pie are, from president on down to
sectionmaster, and under such circum-
stances there is no other way for it
than that the public should be we'll
treated.
But They Have Nothing to Lose.
They say that during the past week
or ten days the visits of "Cost 'Em
Money" to the Office of his organ,
have been suggestive of the act of a
man lodging into blind tiger. But
say, friend, no need of so much eau
ton. Everybody has you spotted, and
they are learning you like a book.
AS for poor "Cheaper Advertising" he
does not even know that he has been
stuck. At least there is no sign fur
ther than an increase of that sancti-
monious assumption with which he
evidently thinks he is shielding him
self from the gaze of the vulgar. But
all the same, the smell is beginning to
smell, and we cannot say that we
enjoy it.
The Tirzah Dispensary.
Rev. J. S. Moffatt, in the Chester
Lantern: We have objected to the
manner in which the dispensary is be-
ing run at present. Here is what we
mean, for one thing. A dispensary
was established at Tirzah, York coun-
ty. Was it put there for the good of the
community? Has it been a moral
blessing to the community? No, it
has proven a source of debauchery.
All the people in Tirzah but one, and
that was the dispenser, signed petit
ton to the state board of control ask
ing that the dispensary be discontin-
ued. Was it granted? No, the dis
