Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1900-10-27
LOCAL LACONICS.


Rev. A. S. Rogers advises THE EN-
oU1RER that In his statement OF the
various gifts that were made to the
new A. R. p. church at Rock Hill, he
inadvertently omitted mentioning the
fact that the church clock was dona-
ted by Mr.. and Mrs. s. L. Milling.
Mr.. Rogers sent us the correction on
Tuesday afternoon, but the paper had
already been printed.
Open to the Public.
The. Catawba river bridge. connect
ing Fort Mill township with the bal

was to have been large gathering at
the bridge on Thursday; but as to
whether 1t was there, THE ENQUIRER
has not learned.

ried at the residence Of the brides un-
Gle, Mr.. B. F. Merritt, near Rock Hill,
last Wednesday at noon. The cere-

friends of the bride and groom, and

High Waters.
There was an unusually heavy rain
throughout the northwestern portion
Of the county last Tuesday, especially
in the vicinity Of Henry's Knob and
Kings Mountain battle-ground. Many
Of the creeks were higher than at any
time previously this season. McGilPs
mill dam, near Bethany, was washed
away, and it is thought that some corn
has been injured in the bottoms of
Clark's Fork and Crowder's creeks.
The damage, however, Is not very con-
siderable.
Mistake at the Post Office.
Subscribers to THE ENQUIRER at Ia
dok, Bethany, Ramah, Hero, Clark
Fork and Carp, failed to get their pa
pers last Wednesday. Complaints
were received at this office by tele-
phone during Wednesday. Some sub
scribers came in person to see what
was the trouble. The papers had been
properly mailed at the Yorkville office
as usual. What became Of them was
a mystery until Wednesday night, on
the return Of the route carriers, when 1t
developed that the papers intended for
the Bethany route had been sent to
Bullock's Creek.
Spartanburg Street Carnival.
Prof. R. J. Herndon wrote to a friend
in Yorkville, under date Of October %,
about the Spartanburg street carnival
as follows: 1.-The thing Is great with
a big C. despite the mornings rain;
but now the clear weather prospect is
better. Been coming to Spartanburg
for IA years and never saw larger
crowd. This crowd will be greatly
augmented tomorrow, as five Of the
big cotton mills Of the county will
shut down for the day. Good humor
and confetti prevail on all sides-ev-
erybody filling your eyes, ears, cloth
ing and mouth Gf open), with the lat
ter. Dozens Of street shows, all un-
usually good, are scattered over the
square and at principal cross streets.
The various committees have shown
good taste and great liberality in pro-
viding delightful entertainments for
the visitors. The music is fine. I am
with the First South Carolina Regi-
ment band. The Clemson college band
will arrive tomorrow, and with the
number and class Of attractions no
one fears that dull tired feeling which
generally prevails during such an oc-
casion. See papers under another COW
er It's great!'
