Mr.. w. H. Geer, travelling represen-
ta,ive of the Columbia State, was in
York vile on Monday making the ac-
auaintance of the subscribers of his
paper and adding new names to the
list.
In the statement that Randolph Da-
Wis broke into the house of "another
Negro named Sam Crawford" The
ENQUIRER was mistaken. 1t was the
house of Mr.. Sam Crawford that was
broken into, and the original statement
was based on misinformation. Mr..
Crawford laughingly informed the re-
porter on Monday that he had "always
passed for a white man."
Mr.. ]. H. Milling, of Rock Hill,
called on THE ENQUIRER last Monday,
and on being shown through the estab-
lishment, expressed himself as very
much astonished. "Why," he re-
marked, II am sure there s;not such
an equipment in the state, except per-
haps in the offices of some of the dali
lies. Why don't you blow about it
some, so the people may know how far
YOU are ahead of other folks in the
same line ?"
Mr.. H. C. Smith leaves within few
days for Garnett, Hampton county,

ever lived in this section. With lit
tie handling he can educate almost any
animal to surprising degree, and his
success at training bird dogs, especial
lly, has been remarkable. He is too
useful and valuable citizen at home,
however, to be permanently spared
from this section, and it is hoped that
his stay will not be for long.
