Killed BY Lightning.

Gastonia Gazette: An unspeakably
sad tragedy called our townsman, Cap
tain J. A. Huss, to the home Of his
brother William, near Grouse, yester-
day morning. Tuesday afternoon, as
was reported to the Charlotte Obser-
yer, Mr.. William Huss and two grown
sons were hoeing cotton in an open field
in front Of their house. A storm was
at hand; but it had rained little, and
there had not been much thunder or
lightning. Suddenly the three men fell
to the earth and lay still. There was a
loud clap Of thunder. Members Of the
family ran to the PROSTATE men, and
found the father and older son dead.
The younger son was unconscious. A
was called and every effort
was made to resuscitate him; but in
vain. At last reports he was still un-
and his recovery was not
expected. A phone message to Capt.
Huss yesterday morning brought only
very meagre particulars, owing to con-
nections being burned out. Capt. Huss
drove to his brothers home, near
Grouse, early yesterday morning, to at
tend the funeral, and was expected
home last night.

THE CATAWBA BRIDGE.
Temporarily Repaired; But In Need
of Permanent Work.

Temporarily Repaired; But In Need
of Permanent Work.
Editor of The Yorkville Enquirer:
You can say that Fort Mill township
is again linked with York county from
which it has been cut off during the
past 30 days on account of the washing
away of the approaches of the Catawba
river bridge.
The approaches were restored this
afternoon, and Mr.. T. G. Culp and my
self rode across the bridge in buggy
drawn by large horse. think the
bridge is safe for travel; but I do not
care to have anybody take risks on
my Judgment. However, it Is my in
tention to go across tomorrow with a
four-horse team hitched to a thresh-
ing machine.
The bridge was damaged by the
freshet. There is no doubt about that
fact. 1t is out Of plumb, and should
be replaced as soon as possible. If
another big freshet comes along this
summer, this costly property will GER
tainly be in danger. do not believe
it would stand. 1t is certainly not wise
to take risks if risks can be avoided.
Although we got along in way be-
fore the erection Of the bridge, Fort
Mill township could not think of get
ting along without it now. There are
many reasons, the first being con-
venience. Another reason, however, is
the fact that where there used to be
three ferries, between Dinkinss and
Wright's, there are none, the boats hav-
ing all been washed away. On account
of the dam of the Power company it
will be possible to re-establish only one
of these ferries.
The crossing at Dinkins's ferry is un-
safe for the want Of a wire, and very
disagreeable because of the exorbitant
charges. Then again few feet Of high
water puts a stop to further crossing.

Fort Mill, S. c., June 25.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1901-06-29

THE suggestion of Mr.. John McElha-
ney, to the effect that the permanent
repair of the Catawba river bridge can
be delayed only at the risk of losing
the structure during the summer, is
sound. There is no doubt of the fact
that the bridge should be repaired at
once. Neglect, or delay, may cost the
county quite heavily; but as has already
been pointed out by the supervisor, the
necessary means are not available, and
if permanent repairs are to be made
now, somebody must put up the cash.
The supervisor could do little to pre-
vent, even if he had an absolute guar
antee that the bridge would go with
the next freshet, and that the next
freshet would occur within the next
six weeks.

PAY OF GovERNoRs.-The proposition
in the Alabama constitutional conven-
tion to raise the salary Of the governor
from $4,000 to $4,000 a year has much
to commend it. In most Of the south
ern states the salary of governor Is so
low that a man with any other source
Of income can hardly afford to accept
the office; thus a handicap Is placed
upon merit. A poor man cannot live
upon the salary and maintain the ap-
pearance that is demanded by the dig
nifty of the position. The pay of q
governor ought not to be so large that
it would cause shrewd and unscrupu-
lous men to scramble for the position,
of course; but it should be large
enough to offer an inducement to the
best talent to strive for it. High
grade executive ability is in demand
in the business world at much better
than $4,000 per year. The states ought
to be willing to pay good men as much
as they are worth in civil life, with
possibly just a little shading for the
honor of public observation-disclosures

ROCK HILL HAPPENINGS.
Catawba Falls Property Sold-Mr
Finley's Wheat Other Notes.

Correspondence Of the Yorkville ENQUIRER.
Rock HILL, June 27.-One day of SUM-
shine gives our people hope for better
luck. Grass Is higher than the cotton
in many places, and many acres must
be thrown out.
The approaches Of the county bridge
having been completed, the bridge Is
now open; but the road from this city
to the river at that point Is sight.
Mr.. F. H. Barber, who owned one
sixth interest in a tract Of 400 acres
of land at Catawba falls, is happy in
having gotten $500 for it. His inter-
est cost him less than $500 ten or twelve
years ago. $4,000 was paid in cash
for the tract. Your correspondent could
not learn the name Of the purchasers;
but understands rich syndicate Is the
owner and that the object Is early
development. The syndicate now owns
all the land on the western bank Of the
river that is needful for their purposes.
The house of Mr.. E.. N. Faris, in the
Oakland section of this city, was struck
by lightning during the storm on last
Tuesday. The house was damaged
somewhat, but nobody was hurt.
Congressman Finley was in town to-
day. Your correspondent has been told
that his wheat crop, which was very
fine before it was cut and shocked, is in
bad shape. He will likely lose a large
part of it. Some of the wheat shocks 1
have seen in other fields are growing,
and looking beautiful and green.
Notwithstanding the protracted rains,
the health of the town is very good.
The little boy of Mr.. and Mrs. J. H
Miller, in Ebenezer, who is sick with
diphtheria, is much improved in COLI
dition and is expected to get we'll.

SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS.

Warrants were issued, Wednesday,
for the arrest of w. G. Gravelly, G. P.
Utter, G. L. McGallis and c. E. Bison,
charged with riot and assault and bat
terry, as result of the strike assault
upon the Southern railway shops in
Columbia on Sunday morning last.
State Senator Marshall appeared for
the defendant strikers and waived a
preliminary examination. Bond was
allowed by the magistrate in each case
in the sum of $3.50.
Exposition Carpenters Strike.
One hundred and fifty carpenters at
work at the exposition grounds in
Charleston struck Wednesday morning.
The trouble grows out of the employ
ment of several non-union carpenters
by McCarrell & Sloan, who have a con-
tract on one of the numerous buildings
going up. Every effort will be made to
adjust the differences existing. at once.
Such pressure will be brought to bear
on both sides by the business men OF
the community that it is not likely that
any serious delay in the exposition
work will be occasioned.

David B. Henderson, speaker Of the
United States house of representatives,
said to a reporter of the Associated
Press in London, Wednesday night,
Il have never enjoyed a more agreea-
BILE half hour interview than the one
had with King Edward yesterday. He
was perfectly frank and agreeable and
in accord with American progress. He
looks forward to even more cordial re-
lations than now exist between the
English speaking nations. America
may depend upon the fact that she has
no more cordial friend in the world
than King Edward. While the details
of our conversation may not be repeat
ed, l can assure my American friends
that England may be depended upon
in any ordinary controversy which may
arise between the United States and
the rest Of the world"

CHAMBERS AT TIRZAH.

Chambers has developed on the plan
tation of Mr.. Henry Massey, at Tirzah.
The disease first made its appearance
some weeks ago; but was not def
'nitely identified until last Wednesday,
after the arrival of State Veterinary
Surgeon Nesom from Clemson college.
Before the arrival Of Surgeon Nesom
one mule had died. This was last
week. Three other mules were sick.
After examining the animals, Surgeon
Nesom condemned two Of them as hav-
ing glanders and ordered them shot,
which was done. In the case Of the
third mule he was not positive, and
he gave instructions that it be held un-
der quarantine until he could get from
Washington a serum with. which the
question can be determined:
Surgeon Nesom left Tirzah Wednesday
afternoon with the understanding that
he would return as soon as the neces-
sary serum was received, and make
tests not only in the case of the. animal
quarantined; but In the cases Of others
on the place. It is understood that the
serum referred to is an infallible test
of glanders, and develops that disease,
or at least determines its presence long
in advance Of the regular process Of
nature.
In a conversation with the reporter
over the telephone yesterday, Mr.. Mas
sey said only the stock on one Of his
places has been exposed to the disease,
and that all the stock that has been
so exposed are being kept isolated from
such stock as have not been exposed.
Mr.. Massey went on to say that ac-
cording to Surgeon Nesom, there Is no
especial danger of cantagion to stock
passing by or through the plantation.
The infection comes mainly from d.
rect contact with the poison from dis
eased animals left on eating Thoughts,
watering troughs, or in stables, etc.
All of the mules that have been in
fected were quite valuable; the two
that were shot having been purchased
during the recent spring at $50 each.
Mr.. Massey has no information as to
the probable origin Of the disease nor
no satisfactory theory.
Since writing the above the reporter
has been advised that Surgeon Nesom
ordered the burning Of the barn in
which the infected stock had been
housed, and that Mr.. Massey has COM
piled with the order.

as we'll as the beasts of the truckmen

as we'll as the beasts of the truckmen
and peddlers. The disease, however, is
more prevalent among the heavy draft
horses in the downtown districts than
anywhere else. The symptoms are
high fever. a cough. loss Of appetite
and general weakness. in many cases
amounting to complete collapse In har-
ness. Although there have been no
deaths, DR.. F. j. McCaffery, of the
New York Veterinary hospital, says
that the new epidemic is the most SER
ious outbreak of the disease among
horses since 1874, when the epizootic
killed thousands and made ten times
as many useless. The epizootic lasted
six weeks hereabout, and in that time
a horse on the streets in New York
was something of a curiosity. Most of
the trucking was done with oxen.

AN OBJECTION.

Tn the search that THE ENQUIRER Is
pursuing for general information as 10
the value of stover and the advantage
that farmers may expect to derive
from shredding their corn crops, in
stead of treating them as their grand
fathers used to do, the reporter has
run upon another preliminary difficulty
The difficulty referred to was pre-
sented the other day by Mr.. M
T. Thomasson, who lives in the east
ern outskirts of Yorkville, and who
from a ground start, may fairly be said
to have made a success Of his avoca-
tion.
"I am satisfied that shredding Is the
thing" said Mr.. Thomasson, put II
won't suit me. You see. 1 farm crop
pers only. When l was younger and
able to take the lead in the field, /
could work wage hands profitably; but
since / am no longer able to lead, l
can't work them. You know it's no use
to say go on boys Unless you can say
come on and keep up the right kind
of a lick yourself, you do not need to
try to work wage hands. So am re-
duced to the cropping system. and the
croppers do not want stover. They
prefer their fodder; something that
they can sell"
This proposition sounds reasonable
enough on it's face; but if it Is fact
that the roughness yield Is doubled
when put in the form of stover, and
that it's value Is increased about Is
per cent, it would seem that there
should be some way Of overcoming the
difficulty referred to. baled stover
ought to command easily SIS a ton,
and some think that 500 is not too
