Iron Ore In Demand.
The recent rise in the price of iron
has stimulated the demand for iron
ore throughout the country, and The
ENQUIRER is advised that negotiations
have been resumed for the sale of
Nanny's mountain in Bethel township.
Nothing especially startling is prom
ised. The property, however, is
very valuable one, and its develop
ment would, of course, mean great
deal for the surrounding country.
Knows His Business.
Mr.. August Kohn, the Columbia
correspondent of The News and Cou-
rier, was so struck with the advertise
ment that Mr.. Louis Roth published
in The ENQUIRER last Saturday, that
he reproduced it in his correspondence
free of charge. "Mr. Roth seems to
understand his business" says Mr..
Kohn, and in this Mr.. Kohn is about
right.

These Are Worthy.
A few days ago Secretary of War
Root requested Governor McSweeney
TO select from the two South Carolina
regiments that served in the late war
four commissioned officers who would
be available to fill vacancies in the
United States volunteer army in case
of emergency. The secretary desired
the governor to consider fitness, train
ing, and integrity, etc. Immediately
upon the publication of the informa-
ton, the governor was deluged with
applications but be was not long in
making up his mind. On Monday last,
he announced the selection of Cap
tain Frel Mobley, of Rock Hill; Cap
tain Claude E. Sawyer, of Aiken ; Cap.
tain Sias J. Mclaughlin, of Newberry;
and DR.. L. E. Griffith, of Columbia.
1t is very likely that all of these off,
GERS will soon receive commissions.
First crop of Pecans.
As the result of newspaper agitation
of the subject in 1891 and 1892,
quite a number of pecan trees were
planted in this immediate vicinity.
Most of them were seedlings; but
some were transplants. A dozen of
these transplants that were set out by
Major James F. Hart, on his grounds
in Yorkville, are doing splendidly.
They are from four to six inches in
diameter and from 20 to 80 feet in
height. Of the entire dozen trees only
one has pecans on it yet, and this is
quite early. AT the time he procured
the trees, Major Hart was advised that
if he would cut off the tap roots they
would commence bearing earlier. He
was not inclined to risk the experiment
with all the trees, however, and only
tried it in the case of one. This is the
one that is now bearing. Along with
the pecan trees Major Hart has also
an English walnut tree. This is we'll
filled with fruit.
Charlotte Road Work.
Mr.. L. R. Williams and other MEM
bers of the committee that has had
charge of the work on the Charlotte
road, are bestirring themselves to haul
more rock and crush the same in the
shape for such repairs as may be nec-
essary for the requirements of the
road during the coming winter. The
crushing plant has not yet been re-
moved from the road. 1t is liable to
be removed, however, at any time,
and such repairs as may then become
necessary can only be made at very
great expense. Work may be done
now at a minimum cost. That the
