Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1899-07-29

The capa city of the mill is 5000 spin
dies and 400 looms. The sale is sub
ject to a ten days bid. DR.. McAden
was asked if he intended running the
mill himself. He replied that he could
not say until the sale was confirmed.
Accidentally Killed.
Mrs.-J. P. White received telegram
on Thursday morning conveying the
sad information that her 16.year-old
half brother, Mr.. Carl Whisonant, had
accidentally killed himself on We'd
nesday afternoon. 1t seems that the
young man was on the back door step
with shotgun, and was handling the
weapon rather carelessly, when it was
discharged, the contents taking effect
in his breast. He died almost instant
ly. Mrs. White left for Wilkinsville
Thursday afternoon.
Campobello High School.
There are quite number of read
ers of The ENQUIRER who will be in
terested in the advertisement of the
Campobello high school, published in
another column. Rev. G. T. Gresham,
one of the principals, is we'll and favor
ably known in this section, and Rev. ].
w. Wingo also has a wide reputation
as an educator ofability. Campobello
is on the Spartanburg and Asheville
railroad, in Spartanburg county.
Yellow Watermelon.
There is mysterious stranger in the
watermelon patch of Mr.. VIM. Cald-
well, at Kings Creek, in the shape of
a melon that is as "yellow as pump
kim" The patch was planted with
mixed seed, and there is fine crop of
melons in it. One of the vines came
up yellow and grew off yellow. When
Mr.. Caldwell first noticed it he thought
it was dying but he has since learned
that the vine is as hardy and as vigor-
Gus as is the most hardy and vigorous
in the patch, and he is puzzled. Fact
is, the whole neighborhood is puzzled.
Badly. Needed.
In connection with the Sutro Cotton
mill there will be an institution that is
badly needed throughout this section.
Among other things, Mr.. McClain has
found it desirable to have at hand
lathes, drill presses and pinion cut
ters, etc. These have also called for
thoroughly skilled machinist, who has
also been procured. There will not
be nearly enough mill work to keep
the repair plant busy, and SO these
facilities will be at the convenience of
the public. Mr.. McClain, however,
will probably have something authen'
tic on this subject later on.
Fever at the Factory.
A report has been in circulation for
several days to the effect that there is
an epidemic of typhoid fever at the
York Cotton mills. The matter has
been considerably exaggerated. There
was one death, that of Mr.. VIM. Wal
lace, in the village last week. Three
cases of fever have developed in the
family of Mr.. Pugh, who lives on the
edge of the factory grounds. One of
these has recovered. Two cases have
developed at Mr.. Burris's and one has
recovered. OF the $50 or more people
on the grounds, the reporter has not
heard of any other cases.
Rock Hills Commercial Warehouse.
Herald, Wednesday: The CONNER
cial Warehouse Company of Rock Hill
was organized on Monday, the Oath
instant, with R. Lee Kerr, president;
John s. Lindsay, secretary and treas
urer, and W. T. Williams, custodian of
warehouse. The company's authoriz-
ed capital is $4,000. The warehouse
will be of the standard warehouse class
divided into six compartments of 500
bales each, and will be fully protected
by water and sprinklers. The site for
the location of the buildings has not
been determined upon but we learn
that if the necessary arrangements can
be perfected they will probably be erec-
ted on the site on West Main street on
which formerly stood Poag's live stock
exchange. The plans of the company
are in the interest of the farmer or 9th
er owner of cotton, who on account of
this enterprise will have the opportuni-
ty of turning their crops to good ac-
count when the price of cotton is low.
We are assured that the company's
receipts are guaranteed as to quality,
quantity, delivery and care by one of
the leading surety companies of New
York, whose capital, surplus and re-
serve, is 81, ,350,00O.
