Fifty Bushels to the Acre.
Mr.. ]. w. Mcfarland has had
threshed the product of an acre OF
oats, with which he has been expert
menting the past season. The total
expense of cultivation, including labor,
manure and five bushels of seed was
SIG, and the yield was so bushels.
Considering the unfavorable season
this result is very good.
A Commendable Enterprise.
1t is reported that the Lockhart
Shoals people have erected an ice
plant and they are selling ice to the
factory operatives and to the people OF
the neighborhood at 40 cents per hun
dred pounds. Lockhart is long way
from a railroad and the manufacture
and sale of ice at such low price is a
great thing for the people these hot
summer days.
Remarkable Coincident.
Curiously enough the Rock Hill
Herald of Wednesday makes the same
mistake with regard to the jury list
that was made in THE ENQUIRER OF
the previous Saturday. 1t printed the
name of J. NJ. Brian where it should
have printed the name of ]. NJ. Brice.
Had the reporter not already gone to
the clerks Office and learned positive
ly that Mr.. Brian's name was not
drawn, he would now be induced to
believe that after all, there was no er-
ror in the first publication. 1t is Mr..
Brice, however, who has been served
with a summons to appear for duty.
The Bowling Green Celebration.
Bowling Green church celebrated
the Fourth Of July with catechism
contest. There was large crowd of
people in attendance, and the occasion
was most interesting one. Two
prizes were offered, one for grown peo-
pie and the other for children. Twen-
ty-three contestants entered, and made
such remarkably fine showing, that
it became necessary for the judges to
take especial cognizance of the element
of promptness. Mrs. ]. H. Adams, OF
Bowling Green, won the prize offered
to adults, Bible valued at $3.50 and
Miss Georgia Dulin, of Bowling Green,
won the children's prize, "Royal
Scroll" of Bible pictures, valued at
S5.75.
Death of Mrs. A. W. Witherspoon.
Rock Hill correspondence Columbia
State: Mrs. Addie White Wither-
spoon, widow Of the late Captain Jno.
C. Witherspoon, died Wednesday af-
ternoon at $50 at her residence on
White street. Mrs. Witherspoon was
a member of the White family, one OF
the most prominent of this section, and
lady who, by her lovable qualities
and good deeds, was endeared TO the
whole community. While she has been
a great sufferer from infammatory
rheumatism for sometime past, her
death came as a shock to the city.
She died of acute pericarditis brought
on by rheumatism. The departure of
this devoted mother removes the head
of a happy and beautiful home and
leaves desolate her three sons, Messrs.
George w., J. Crawford and James H
Witherspoon, besides large family
connection. There is universal sym.
pathy for all these expressed by ouI
citizens.
