ROCK HILL HAPPENINGS.

The Weather and the Streets-Sermon BY
DIR. Battis-Camp Of woodmen to Be
Organized at Leslie-Fire Thursday
Night-Personal Mention-News From
Tirzah.
Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
Rock HILL, February 6.-The heavy
rain that fell here on Sunday did
greal deal in improving the condition
of the streets, washing away lots of
the loose thin mud and, packing the
heavy muddy places. The sidewalks
at noon, Sunday, were in much better
condition than they have been for the
past week.
Rev. DR.. BATHS, of Denver, COL,
preached very able and interesting
sermon in the First Presbyterian church
here on Sunday morning, on the sub.
ject of caring for homeless children.
He did not approve of orphanages;
but presented very forcibly the meth
cd of adoption into families, or obliga-
tions by families to take homeless chill
dren and care for them to their major
ity, doing by them rs if'they were
their own children. This argument
he backed up very clearly to his audi.
ence with the Bible, quoting the Sa-
vior's own words.
Mr.. A., D. Holler's condition is some
what improved, and it is hoped that it
will not be long before he will be able
to be out again.
The people of Leslie have taken
steps to organize camp of Woodmen
at that place. Besides the social pleas
ure of their organization, it has q
splendid life insurance feature attach
ed to it.
Owing to the bad roads, very little
cotton was marketed here last week,
and what was sold brought from 81 to
6.45. There is not enough cotton be-
ing sold here now to supply the con-
sumption of our cotton mills; conse-
quently, cotton is being shipped in here
from neighboring towns.
Thursday night, about II o'clock,
Mr.. j. II. Kerr's residence, on West
Hampton street, was destroyed by fire.
His furniture, etc., was saved 10 q
damaged condition. Insurance on the
house $500, and on furniture $475,
which will not cover the loss.
Miss Fannie Beckham is visiting
friends and relatives at Florence.
The "Mouse Trap" at Winthrop
college, Friday night, was grand
success. The young ladies deserve
great deal of praise for the manner in
which they performed their parts.
The last scene-Scarf Fantastics-
was beautifully performed. All. the
posings and actions were carried out
to perfection.
Messrs. A. Friedheim & Brother
will move into their new store this
week, and then things will hum.
The Southern railway have just fin-
ished painting their buildings here,
which give them much neater ap-
pearance.
How long! Oh! how long, before
the S. G. & g., or o. R. & c., (who
ever owns the railroad) will build even
decent passenger or freight station
here
Mr.. Henry Massey, of Tirzah, is in
the city today. We learn that Tirzah
has gone "wet" again and also muddy.

GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT.

The good roads movement so strong
ly desired by many, languishes for
somebody to push it. There are a
great many things that can be done by
talk, maybe; but the building of roads
is not one of them.
II don't know what is the matter" "
said an interested gentleman to the re-
porter day or two ago. Everybody
seems to be talking of the fearful con-
dition of the roads; but nobody wants
to help start a movement looking to
Improvement"
~ guess" he continued, cit is some.
thing in the weather. The weather
conditions are 80 bad as to give the
folks the blues and almost make them
believe that this is the last year that
there will be. But, goodness gracious,
this is the very time for people who
look ahead to organize and arrange for
the carrying out of their plans. To be
sure. we can't work on the roads now !;
but we can raise money and make
other preparations for next summer.
1t won't do to wait until next summer,
for then the roads won't be needing
work, and people will not be so much
interested. And, besides, by the time
things are gotten in shape, it will be
too late for further operations. I wish
people would quit talking about bad
roads and do something to get better

gated in Herndon's lot-next to j. H.
Riddles store-and made that place its
headquarters. Of course the reporter
did not undertake to remain there and
watch developments; but during the
afternoon he made some inquiries.
Chief of Police Love came out of
the lot along about 6 o'clock in the af-
ternoon, and the reporter asked:
"How's the trading today?"
II don't think there has been any
trading-yet:."
He put on the last word, in matter
of course way, an emphasis which
seemed to imply that the days pro-
ceedings had only commenced. Any
how, in surprise, the reporter exclaim-
ed:
"Surely you do not mean to say that
they keep it up all night"
pretty much," the chief replied
seriously. at often goes on until II
or 12 o'clock at night. Many trade
is made by the light of lantern.
They'll talk it over with each other,
90 out and look at the stock and then
swap. Most of the trading is done
late in the evening.
Chief Love said that the traders
had behaved themselves very well
during the day. There was some
drinking but no serious disorder. He
is disposed to allow certain amount
oflicense on such occasions; but checks
it up before it becomes very boisterous.

DR.. Robinson received a call to the
Memorial Presbyterian church in New

The house committee on interstate
and foreign commerce, on last Friday,
directed favorable report on the
Hepburn Nicaraguan canal bill with
amendments, as a substitute for the
Morgan bill, passed by the senate.
The essential features of the bill, as
reported, are that it authorizes the
president of the United States to ac-
quire by purchase from Nicaragua
and Costa Rica, the territory necessary
to build the canal and then to proceed
with the construction of it. One hun

L1EUT.-Gov. DEv1NE was to have
lectured Tuesday evening in Linton
on "Great Men and Great EVENTS"
but, as the Great Man failed to APP
pear, the Great Event was indefinitely
postponed. Our people were seriously
disappointed, Of course, for they had
subjected themselves to mental star
walton for several days-ever since Mr..
Devine wrote to Supt. Kuiper making
a date and naming his subject-in Or
der that they might gorge themselves
when they came to partake of the
feast of reason which the big guns of
the states educational system had
promised to provide. Whether Mr..
Devine is in the habit of making the
keeping Of his appointments depend
upon the size of county's delegation
in G. o. P. state conventions, OF
whether, like the person who appealed
to Mr.. Johnson in the song, he wanted
to be "turned loose" and has ''good
excuse" for his failure to treat EN-.
mons county's wondering rustics to
his big speech, the Record is unable
to ascertain. But, when the state
authorities announce that certain
prominent speaker will attend at a
certain institute, he should attend,
even If he must travel to a remote
county. A circus that on the bills
uses studorce type for the announce.
ment Of an alleged special feature of
the show, and then fails to put it on
in the ring, will soon establish char
acter for unreliability and bring itself
inro disrepute.*

A modern Cicere.

Colonel B. Wolfbounty Corbin was
orator Of the day at the pioneer picnic
last Saturday. Colonel Corbin is the
noted warrior who, with little as
sistance from three other soldiers
respectively known as Grant, Sher-
man and Sheridan, and slight addi-
ltional help on the part of the rank
and file, overcame the hosts of the con-
federacy and crushed the rebellion.
Owing to the accident to our chief
compositor, extra work prevented the
writer from attending the picnic Of
the old-timers. People who were
present, however, state that the ven-
cradle Cicero was in his best form, and
that the words Of eloquence slid from
his tongue like water from a drake's

take much pleasure and satisfaction in
contemplating the fact that a good
sized chunk OF his greatness has come
to HIM through his persistent and ju-
dicious advertising in the columns of

THAT the old soldiers are still loyal
to their country, and that they have
faith in the noble and generous COM
rade who presides over the destinies
OF the nation, is shown by the resolu-

recent state encampmenta at Ellendale:
y Resolved, That we, members Of the
Grand Army of the Republic, depart
mcnt Of North Dakota, in encamp-
ment assembled. desire to give express
sion to our faith in the wisdom, pa
triotism and fidelity Of Comrade VIM.
Mckinley in his efforts to maintain
the honor, dignity and authority of
the United States and its flag. We
have the same implicit faith in his abil-
lty to maintain the institutions and
authority of this country that we had
IN IN Abraham Lincoln during the war Of
the rebellion; and we have no fear that
from any act Of President Mckinley
Imperialism or militarism will ever

The InstItute.

This week has been a pleasant one
for Linton people. The institute has
been in session and the town full Of
teachers. Allof them seem to have
passed a pleasant week, and they ex-
press themselves as being well satisfied
with the work of the institute. Mr..
Moore has shown the interest in
his work which has made the public
school system of Bismarck the pride
of that city's people and placed it
above and beyond the reach Of politi-
clans. Mr.. Moore, as conductor, has
been ably assisted by Miss Hulett and
Supt. Kuiper. When it was found,
Tuesday evening, that Mr.. Devine had
forgotten his appointment and that
.Great Men and Great Events" could
not be secured for one-night stands in
small towns, Miss Hulett arranged an
impromptu musical entertainment,
as a number of people from distance
were in town to attend the lecture.
She was assisted by some of the teach
ers. Every one was pleased with the
impromptu affair, and some who had
heard Joseph make the same old
speech at half dozen state conven-
ti0ns were glad that substitution
had been found necessary.
Following are the names and post

Mice OF All CoIors,

The National Mouse Club of England
recently held an exhibition where sew.
eral hundred mice competed for gold
medals, champion cups and various 9th
er prizes. These little creatures are not
the ordinary everyday mice which scare
the cook and drive the mistress of the
house to take refuge on chair. They
are we'll bred mice that expected to be
petted and oaressed and treated as ten
derly as pet cat or dog.
By careful breeding they have de.
veloped great variety in coloring and
sometimes in shape. One very choice
style Of animal, called the spiny mouse,
has row of bristling hair for a spinal
ornament and is very cute miniature
reproduction Of poroupine. The IA
miliar white mice 30 often seen for sale
on the streets here have been bred with
black eyes instead of red ones. 1t has
taken several years to produce these re.
suits, but the society now claims to bs
able to furnish mice in 10 or IS differ.
ent shades. To any one who is able to
overcome the fear of mice they are
dainty, delicate little studies at any
time, but when they play around in
suits of chocolate sable fawn, Jet
black. tortoise or golden agouti they be-
come perfectly fascinating.
AS in the case Of all fads Of this kind,
the prices brought by these little peta
are extremely steep. Fifteen dollars or
$40 is not large prics to pay for a
we'll bred mouse, and some of them
have been sold for as high as $40.

Thornton's Novel Suit.

Trenton, N. j., Dec. 27.-Benjamln
G. Thornton, of Lands Township, Cum
berland County, has instituted novel
suit in the Supreme Court. He asks
for writ of mandamus to compel the
officials of Lands Townships TO make
an assessment for $I50 on the owners of
dogs in the township, and that the
amount when collected be paid to him.
Some time ago an unknown dog entered
Thornton's yard at night and killed
twenty-four game and fancy fowl which
he valued at $3.50. When Thornton
found that his fowl had been killed he
called in two Freeholders, who signed
an affidavit of what they saw. Thorn
ton presented his bill to the Township
Committee. The committee offered to
pay at the rate of cents pound for
the fowl. Thornton treated the offer
with contempt and then started suit.
