He holds this not as matter of opinion,
but as a matter of fact, and he does
not think it will be very difficult to so
convince the country.

Charlottes Baseball Boys.
Charlotte Observer, Sunday: W.
T. Bartlett, who will play second base
for the Charlotte team, arrived here
last evening from Maryville, Tenn,
and is quartered at the Leland. Nc
Maxim and Shaw were the battery for
Yorkville against Union, in Union ON
Friday, and Yorkville won the game,
10 to 5. The first exhibition game of
the season will be played in Yorkville
on Tuesday next. AS the Yorkville
team is strong one and Charlotte will
be without the services of Oldham,
Meade and Burnette, it need not cause
surprise if Yorkville continues her win
ming streak. Burnette will not report
until Wednesday Oldham until Sstur-
day, and Meade not until the following
week. On Thursday and Friday Char
lotte will play Cheraw at Cheraw.
The Catawba Power Company.
Columbia State, Saturday: The
much-talked-of and important Cataw-
ba Power company obtained it's charter
from the secretary of state yesterday.
The corporators are DR.. w. Gill Wylie
and R. H. Wylie, of New York, and
VIM. C. and F. c. Whitner, of Rock
Hill. The principal place of business
is to be Rock Hill. The capital stock
is to be 100000. The officers are w.
Gill Wylie, president; W. H. Wylie,
vice president and F. G. Whitner,
secretary and treasurer. These, with
W. J. Roddey, constitute the board of
directors. The charter sets forth that
the purpose of the company is "to
develop the water of India Hook shoals
on the Catawba river, in the county of
York in the State first aforesaid, by
the erection of a dam across said river
at that point for the generation of
electric power and to transmit it to
neighboring cities or towns, and to use,
lease or sell the same for manufactur-
ing, lighting, heating and other pur-
poses."
No Sunday Mail.
THERE'S Sunday train on the South
Carolina and Georgia Extension rail-
road all right but there are no Sun
day mails any more, and unless special
arrangements be made it is not likely
that there will be. There was a mail
car on for the first Sunday trip last
week ; but on last Sunday it was
missing. Inquiry develops that the
reason is because of no connections to
the south. The postal route runs.
from Marion to Kingville, and the Sun
day train only to Camden. This leaves
a gap of 80 miles between Camden and
Kingville over which there is no train.
The mail clerk upon whom the north
ern Sunday run would fall is there
fore held at Kingville. The difficulty
can be obviated by special clerk to
run out from Columbia on Sunday or
the making up of special pouches in
Columbia for Lancaster, Yorkville and
other points that may desire them.
There is no chance for mail from
Charleston except the Southern put a
train between Kingville and
Camden. 1t is understood that 80 far
there is no special desire for Sunday
mails along the route except by few
people in Yorkville and Lancaster.
Rock Hill and Camden are supplied
from other sources.
At Kings Mountain battle-ground.
Messrs. Geo. T. Schorb and W. w.
Boyce made trip to Kings Mountain
battle-ground last Saturday. Mr..
Schorb had commission from THE
ENQUIRER to take some photographs
of the monument and surroundings,
and Mr.. Boyce went along for compa-
ny and to see how things look in the
vicinity. He reports that the work OF
the chaingang from the road to the
monument and around the monument
is quite satisfactory. He had heard
statements to the effect that the new
monument had been badly defaced by
vandals. He was grati6ed to find that
