Still Pending.
Members of the York bar are some
what concerned over the tardiness Of
Judge Benet in filing his decisions. In
November, 1897, Judge Benet heard
the case of J. B. Johnson ct al. against
Robert Bratton ct al. and although it
is his duty to file all decisions within 60
days after adjournment of the circuit
court in this county, there has been no
decision in this case yet. w. W..
Lewis, Esq, represents one side aud
D. E. Finley, Esq, the other. 1t is
said that Judge Benet has other cases
that have been under "advisement" for
more than a year, and the litigants are
anxious to know "where they are at"
Fire Alarm.
The burning out of stove Hue at
Mr.. J. R. Schorb's photograph gallery,
at about 5.26 o'clock last Saturday
morning, occasioned fire alarm that
brought out the reel companies. The
special phone connection at the court
house was also made, with the result
that the chief of the fire department
and the pumper at the waterworks,
were both put on notice that would
not have been received had they been
dependent altogether on the fire bell.
The fire was over before the reel COM
panies reached the scene, and the reels
were taken back without the necessity
of wetting the hose. The loss on ae-
count of the fue burning out was
quite Insignificant.
Persimmon and Dogwood.
Manager Anderson, of the Rock Hill
Buggy company, has received the fol-
lowing letter from Candal, Stone q
Co., Binghamton, N. Y: ave are
advised that the best place to obtain
persimmon lumber is somewhere in
your vicinity, and we wish you would
please put US in communication with
some lumber dealers who can furnish
us this stock. We want to buy lot
of sawed heads to manufacture into
golf clubs. We wish you would also
advise us if there is any dogwood to
be obtained in South Carolina. We
understand this persimmon lumber
grows in swamps and is much larger in
Virginia and the Csrolinas than in any
other part of the country"
He Will Attend to 1t.
The people who live along the Beth
Ell, Zeno, Enquirer and Clay Hill mail
route, are to be congratulated. For
several years now, the riders on most
of the routes have been ignorant, un-
reliable Negroes, Indifferent to their
business or the accommodation of the
people between postoffices even after
they had been paid. The route men
toned has, for the most part, been
served better than any of the others
but the service on it has at times been
very unsatisfactory. Recently, how
ever, Mr.. w. G. Turner, responsible
white citizen, who lives near York
vile, took, for one year, the contract
to carry the mail over this route, and
hereafter the people may expect re-
liable service.
Price of Cotton.
The Yorkville cotton receipts from
wagons continue light. Prices range
from St to 81. Hubbard's letter to
The State, of Tuesday, describes the
situation in New York, Monday, as
follows: "The market felt with con-
tinuins force this morning the effect of
the improvement and good business
abroad which brought buying orders.
Sellers were few, and on the limited
supply the advances continued until
the demand was exhausted. The busl-
ness has been more general, although
the principal buying has been of
local nature to replace early sales.
The light receipts are forming sub
stantial basis for the opinion that prices
may reach a higher level"
A Good Thing to Have.
The ENQUIRER should be in every
home in York county. There is not
county paper in the state that gives It's
subscribers greater value for the price
of subscription, and there is not one
which even tries to give as much fresh,
live news. People who read THE EN-
oUIRER are able to keep close abreast,
with the actually important occurrences
that are constantly taking place in
York county. They are also kept
pretty we'll informed as to what is go
ing on in the state, the nation, and the
big world outside. 1t costs any fami-
ly more to do without The ENQUIRER
than it does have it as regular twice
a-week visitor. THE ENQUIRER,
therefore, should be in every home in
