Same Old Story. ..
Chester Reporter: We learn from Ma
jor ]. H. Marion, general counsel of
the Carolina and Northwestern Rail-
way company, that work will begin
very soon in the matter Of broadening
the gauge Of the road. The work has
been delayed thus far by reason Of the
high price Of steel rails. This him
drance removed, the work will be rap
idly pushed. The company has just
bought from one concern $4,000 stand
ard gauge crossties. All trestles on the
upper end Of the line are to be put in
first-class condition as rapidly as pos
sible.
Does Not Think 1t IL q Bear.
Messrs. A. H. Merritt and Charlie
Graham, Of Fort Mill township, were
in Yorkville this week. They came
over Wednesday and returned Thurs
day. The reporter asked Mr.. Graham
as to the bear story published in The
ENQUIRER Of Wednesday from the
Charlotte Observer. Mr.. Graham says
he does not think it is a bear that is
causing the excitement; but eata-
mount. He ran a catamount several
races up in the Terrence neighborhood
near WALES, a few years back, and it
is probably the same animal that is
now again making known its presence.
Reason of the Irregularity.
For a time or two, subscribers of
THE ENQUIRER living along the line Of
ter and Charlotte, received their pa
pers within a few hours after they
were printed. Pleased with such
promptness, many are disappointed be-
cause Of its irregularity. Everything
depends on the Carolina and North
western making its schedule. When
the southbound mail passes Yorkville
on time, the people along the South
ern get their papers promptly; but
when the Carolina and Northwestern
runs behind, it fails to make connec-
ton with the Southern and there comes
the trouble.
