Mr.. Schenerlein stated that a strong
board roof would be put on the stand,
resting on the iron frame work. On

the past few months, the price has
been steadily declining to something
like reasonable figures. The latest
quotations are $29 ton, and as every
dollar in the price of iron means some

Mr.. E. K. MCCLAIN, formerly OF
Yorkville, now in the cotton business
at Clarksville, Texas, sends The EN-
oU1RER copy of the Dallas News, OF
Monday, June 10, containing an elab-
crate report of crop conditions in
Texas. The reports fills 20 columns
of matter in small type, and is made
up from 449 correspondents in 172
counties. In substance it shows that
although a material increase in the
cotton acreage was intended by Texas
farmers, on account of floods and un-
favorable weather, there has been an
actual reduction of 2.S per cent. as COM
pared with last year; but this is not
to be taken as final, because in some
localities cotton planting is still in
progress in oat stubble and on original
cotton ground.

COUNTY DEMOCRACY.

ALTHOUGH in any event the Chinese
situation will continue in state OF
uncertainty for several days, probably
weeks yet, it is likely that the United
States government will have to send
an army to China to look after Amer
ican interests, especially of the lives Of
American citizens residing in various
Chinese cities. The impracticability
of withdrawing a considerable number
of troops from the Philippines is quite
clear, and as more troops can be fur
nished only on the authority OF con-
gress, it is quite likely that this body
will have to be called in extra session
shortly.

THE UPRISING IN CHINA.
Probable Outcome still q Matter Of An1-
ious Speculation.

Probable Outcome still q Matter Of An1-
ious Speculation.
The news from China continues to
come, for the most part, in uncontrm-
ed rumors, containing more or less
truth and giving some idea of the seri-
business of the situation without deli
mite information as to how or where.
The centre of the greatest interest
during the past two weeks, probably,
is Pekin, the Chinese capital. The
different legation buildings, containing
the representatives of foreign powers,
with their households, and no doubt
most of the foreigners in the city, who
have repaired to these places of refuge,
protected only by small guards of ma
rines, have been the principal objects
of attacks by furious mobs. 1t was
the danger of the legations that neces-
STATED the sending of a relieving force
of 1000 International marines, under
Vice-Admiral Seymour, of the British
navy. There have been numerous
rumors as to the fate of this column /;
but the best information is to the effect
that after several encounters with
great multitudes of natives, in which
encounters not less than 500 natives
were killed, the column arrived in Pc
kin on last Sunday. There have been
reports of the murder of foreign min
listers, including those of Germany and
Russia but so far these rumors have
not been confirmed.
1t appears that before the arrival OF
the International column, the Russians
had already attacked the wall of Pc
kin on two sides with artillery, and
after slaughtering large numbers of
Cinnamon entered the city. The In
ternational column seems to have
marched into Pekin after the Rus
slams; but as there was no direct tele-
graphic communication, it was not
practicable for Vice Admiral Seymour
to send an account of the existing
conditions as he found them.
Later reports indicate that the up.
rising is spreading rapidly to all of the
Chinese cities, and it is probable that
the whole empire will soon be in a
ferment. Altogether there are not more
than $4,000 troops available for SER
vice in China, and for these to cover

YORKVILLE AND ANDERSON.

The baseball tournament between
the Yorkville and Anderson teams,
mentioned in the last issue of The
ENQUIRER, was concluded Tuesday
and Wednesday and resulted in VIC
tory for the Anderson team.
Although the game of Monday
seemed to indicate that the two teams
were very evenly matched, the two
succeeding games showed that York
vile was badly outclassed, especially
as to batteries and hitting ability.
When the two teams entered the
field on Tuesday, Yorkville was in
high hopes of either winning a victory
or holding Anderson down to a res
pectably close score. And from its
experience on the day before, the An
derson team was scared. Chapple and
Mcdowell were the batteries for York.
Vile, and Everett and Turner for An
derson. Before the game had progress
ed as far as on the previous day, it be-
came clear that Anderson had the de-
cided advantage as to batteries and
batters, and Yorkville's errors in the
field permitted the score to mount to
humiliating figures. Yorkville made
only one run and Anderson II.
: Wednesdays game was somewhat
better. Bankston and Mcdowell were
the batteries for Yorkville and Ragan
and Turner for Anderson. Although
the Yorkville boys did better work
than on the previous day, the COM
parative difference between the two
teams was maintained. Two close
decisions of the umpire against York
vile discouraged the home team, and
an accident, as the result of which
the Yorkville pitcher peeled the skin
from one of his fingers, added to what
seemed to be a long string of hard
luck. Anderson won the game by a
score of 8 to 0, or as some ofthe more
contentious Yorkville boys would
claim, 4 to2. The figures first named,
however, are official.
The attendance on all the games
was good, the average of each day
being in the neighborhood of 500 peo-
ple and Notwithstanding the fact that
victory went to the visitors, all the
cranks who witnessed the tournament,
including q large number from Clover,
Rock Hill and other points, are agreed
that they saw some fine ball.

. Mr.. H. n. Beard has on hand
about 1875 carrier pigeons which he
proposes to release at the G. & NV
depot at sunrise this morning, if the
weather is clear.
- The York Cotton mills have brok'
en- dirt for their new addition to the
main spinning room. The walls of the
store house are up to the second story
on one side. This building will require
about 100000 bricks.
- Colonels Davis and Stephenson
have been hard at work during the
past three days securing an inventory
of the repairs that will be necessary on
the Kings Mountain Military Acade'
my building and grounds. They have
found that although the situation is
not so bad as they expected, still there
is a good deal of work to be done and
it must be commenced without un-
necessary delay.

ing two mill tax for the support of the
Yorkville graded school for the next

vote was, as usual, small, there being 20
votes for the tax and two against it.

THE C., g. NV.

Although as yet no actual dirt has
been broken in connection with the
broadening of the gauge of the Caro-
lima and North Western railroad, the
railroad people are not losing any time
that can be utilized in the consumma-
ton of their object.
A corps of surveyors has been at
work for several months between Le-
noir and the Tennessee line, and ar
rangements have been made for still
another corps to start to work next
week. This will hasten operations.
Quite large number of standard
guage cross ties have been purchased |;
but up to this time the number Is not
half as many as will be needed. The
tie buyers are pushing their work with
the greatest activity, especially in the
timber regions of North Carolina.
It is quite probable that there will
be slight change in the present route
of the road between the crossing of the
South Fork of the Catawba and Lin
colnton. This is on account of some
seven or eight cotton mills along the
river, within from two to four miles of
the railroad. These mills now have
to dray their products and materials to
and from Hardin's and Lincolnton at a
cost of something like 100000 a year,
and by changing the railroad line up
the river, it will be possible to almost
touch the very doors of all these mills.
The distance from South Fork bridge
to Lincolnton will not be materially
increased. As to whether the suggest
ed change in the route will be made
depends upon the result of negotia-
tions now in progress between the
railroad people and the mills referred
to.
As yet there has been no purchase
of the steel rails that will be necessary
for making the railroad standard
guage. This is because of the condi-
ton of the railroad iron market. Only
about eighteen months ago standard
steel rails were selling at s17 a ton,
and going rather slow at that. Then
