Captured Their Whisky. .--.a.-e
A gentleman who lives on the Kings
Mountain road, few miles north OF
Yorkville, says that he is sure that no
less than 500 gallons of whisky passed
his house last Saturday. This was on
y one day; and on only one Of the many
roads that lead to the North Carolina
line. 1t Is probable that during the
week several thousand gallons came
over the line for consumers on this side.
Much Of 1t was for people down in
Chester county. Constable Scoggins
took a turn at watching the road on
Monday and captured some five or six
gallons.

Quoted in the chapel by Superintendent
| Grimes and participated in by nearly
all of the employees, was held the night
before Christmas. On Christmas after
noon and evening refreshments were
served In that portion Of the main mill
building that has not yet been filled
up with machinery, and there was
dancing from 2 p. m, to 9 p. m. Colo
mel Asne was master Of ceremonies.
Splendid order prevailed on the mill
grounds throughout the holidays.
There was no drunkenness, improper
language or conduct to mar the occa-

Ono VadIs Company.
Alden Benedict's Quo Vadis compa-
ny arrived in Yorkville yesterday morn
ing. by way Of Chester, with plenty Of
time to make every arrangement for
thoroughly satisfactory presentation Of
this splendid play. The company did
not play at Chester. It Is expected to
get there from Camden at 4.3O o'clock
Thursday afternoon. The train was
late and it was not until IL o'clock that
the town was reached. The reputa-
tion Of the company had gone ahead
and there was an unusually large crowd
out for the entertainment. The sales
Of seats were larger than for any pre-
yious entertainment this season. There
was, Of course, much disappointment
on account Of the delayed train. There
are sixteen speaking parts in the play,
and all Of these parts are represented
in full. Manager Moore took occasion,
asst week, to make inquiries about the
company at various places where it has
been playing. All OF the reports were
Of most satisfactory nature. The
manager of the Anderson opera house
said that he had no hesitation in say
ing that this company Is the best that
has ever been to his town, and Ander-
son has nearly three times the popula-
ton of Yorkville. The company goes
from here to Spartanburg, and from
lie papers In that city 1t appears that
the play-going people there are on the
lookout for the greatest treat they
have had for weeks.
