They will reach here in the morning Of

They will reach here in the morning Of
| the day named, and Manager Clark is
arranging for them to have a great
time at the park. The band Is to give a
matinee and early evening concert in
conjunction with performances by the
company then holding the boards at the
rustic theatre. The cafe at the park
will arrange to serve dinner to all the
visitors desiring such service. Mr..
Clark Is now trying to arrange also for
| a first-class game Of baseball between
| a team to be brought along and the
Augusta, Ca, team. Prof. Herndon Is
the widely known trainer Of bandsmen
and it Is said that his present band is
one of the best in the state.
X Mr. w. M. Allison, formerly Of York
Nille, now of Henrietta, N. c., came
down last Saturday for a short visit
combining business and pleasure. He
returned on Monday afternoon. Mr..
Allison has been at Henrietta for about
two years now, as the manager of the
dry goods department Of the big store
Of Henrietta Cotton mills, No. 1. Re-
Gently he has been put in charge Of the
No. 2 store, also, and Is now the re-
sponsible head Of one Of the largest re-
tail mercantile concerns in either North
or South Carolina. Mr.. Allison was not
inclined to say much about his busi-
ness or himself; but from people who
are in a position to know whereof they
speak, the reporter is able to gather
story that could have easily been imag-
ined by those who have all along known
Mr.. Allison best. When he went to
Henrietta it was to take charge Of
big mill store, with only a fairly good
trade from the surrounding country.
UP to that time the business had been
managed pretty we'll; but it had not
come up to the notions Of the broad
and able manager Of the affairs Of the
Henrietta Manufacturing company.
During many long, weary years previ-
Gus, MIR. Allison had first learned how
to deal with customers, how to sell
goods, how to buy them, and last, and
most important Of all, how to inform
the public Of the advantages he had
to offer He began to put this informa-
ton into practice as soon as he began
to get a grasp Of the situation at Hen
rietta, slowly and cautiously at first;
but none the less surely, and being
firmly and intelligently backed by
big, broad management that was be-
hind him. the business began to grow
as it had never grown before, and the
Henriettas Nos. 1 and are now reach
ing out for trade distance of from Is
to rs miles in every direction. They
draw customers from within short
distance Of Gaffney, Shelby, spartan
burg and other points, and their bust
ness continues to grow steadily In i'm
portance and volume. Whoever de-
serves the greater portion of the credit
for these gratifying developments, Mr..
Allisons many friends and well-wishers
in this section are disposed to extend
congratulations both to him and to the
discriminating employers who were so
lucky as to avail themselves Of his SER
| vices.

ALTHOUGH we have an idea, we would
like to know as fact who it really was
that originated that scheme to pledge
South Carolina Democrats to a re-iter-
alton of the Kansas City platform. At
ter locating the individual, we would
like to see a correct analysis Of the
workings of his mental makeup. If he
will only go little further and pledge
the state to the renewed support of
Mr.. Bryan, he will relieve us of the ne
cessity of sending delegates to the next
national Democratic convention. and of
the possibility of electing the next pres
ident, all of which, in his opinion, will
no doubt be delightful.

Correspondence OF the Yorkville ENQUIRER.
OGDEN, June 20.-The work Of har-
vesting the small grain crop Is well un-,
der way. Several farmers near here,
have bought reapers and binders. Cra-
dlers are in great demand also. The
crop will all be harvested, but may be
damaged some by the wet weather:
The grass Is not at all conquered in this
section yet. Some have not got their
Gotten all hoed the first time yet.
mean it has not been thinned to a
stand. Hoe hands are scarce. In ad-
dition to the wet weather, the lice are
hurting the crop considerably. Chinch
bugs are not doing any damage yet.
Our people are somewhat stirred up
over school matters. The trustees and
a few of the patrons Of the three
schools near this place, held a meeting
q few days ago and decided to throw
the three schools together and build
large schoolhouse at Ogden. district
may be laid off and the question of
levying a special tax voted on after
the work Is completed. It was decided,
believe. to sell the old houses or dis
pose of them in some way and COM
mence work on the new building as
soon as crops are ''laid by"
This arrangement does not meet with
the approval of all the patrons, as 1t
will put some almost out Of reach Of
the school, especially for small children
in the winter time, when the roads are
bad. Another objection Is that 1t will
about exhaust our quota Of the school
fund to put up the school house, and we
will be without a school for about
year.
Part Of the dam of the McElwee mill
was washed away a few nights ago.
Mr.. Ayers. the miller, says 1t will re-
quire several days to repair the dam
age.
Mrs r. H. Lucas, of Howell, Ca, is
up on a visit to her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. T. w. Scoggins. Mer husband will

Mr. and Mrs. Everett Bell have had
a very sick boy; but it is now improv-.

very unwell for the past week or ten
days. His condition has improved
some. l learned Sunday that Mr.. 5.

In whatever Governor McSweeney
may have acted unwisely, he certain
ly did exercise some good common
sense and sound judgment in returning
Senators Tillman and McLaurin's res
ignations. The action Of the governor
in this matter has. 1 think, met the
general approval Of the people. S. XII.

-Messrs. j. ]. Keller G. Co., have
just made for Superintendent of Educa-
ton Carroll the ground work for a large
globe. The globe is about 80 inches in
diameter, and when completed by Mr..
Carroll, will probably be one Of the
largest and most satisfactory to be
found in this section.
"A telegram from one Of the recently
elected graded school teachers read: Il

sponsibility for the slip upon the tele1
graph company. Otherwise there would
have been another telegram reading:

would have been, "we reject"
b( The Jasper Light Infantry held a
meeting in the armory last Monday
night for the purpose Of electing first
lieutenant, vice w. w. Boyce, resigned.
Second Lieutenant John R. Hart was

mously elected second lieutenant.
"A member Of the local board of
graded school trustees requests the
publication Of the following newspaper
clipping under the caption Of "Our
Woes" "a Kansas school board re-
ceived the following letter the other
day from one of the teachers: I would
like to have the refusal Of the school
as long as you are willing to hold it for
me, though can't say positively that
will not teach, nor positively that
will. If am married, as think will
be-, of course will not want the school.
But you know the old story about
many a slip, and would hate to be out
of one job as we'll as the other"

cost of installing an oil burner on the
locomotives is only about $3.50. 1t is es-
timated that the substitution of oil on
a single Texas branch of the Atchison
system will cause an annual saving of
$1S0,0OO. The Atchison is so situated
that it's coal costs only about $1.6s
ton, while the Southern Pacific must
pay s4.O3 a ton because of the scarcity
of that article west of the Rockies. To
the latter road the use Of oil will be
better than a gold mine, for 1t Is esti-
mated that if applied to the whole sys-
tenn it would mean a yearly saving of
nearly s5,OOO.OOO. or enough to pay an
annual dividend of per cent. on a cap
ital of s1OO,OOO,OOO. Such lowering of
railroad expenditures cannot fail ulti-
mately to bring about cheaper freight
rates.

THOSE people who insist upon the re-
Endorsement of the Kansas City plat
form, are evidently of the opinion that
this represents the acme of political
perfection, and that the idea of further
progress is absurd. We would have
thought that they would have at least
reserved the right to substitute "free
silver" as the paramount ISSUE"

ONE great trouble about McLaurin Is
his liability to jump the track without
notice.-Columbia State.
That is an accusation that is easy to
make; but difficult to prove. 1t cannot
be proved because it is not true. Sem
ator McLaurin's politics has always
been 1.-The welfare of the people of
South Carolina" and he has never
swerved from that course. If the poll
tics of the Columbia State had been
half as lofty, or half as consistent, that
paper would command a much larger
share of public respect than it COM
mandS today.

A GRAND jury is supposed to be thor
oughly representative of the county
from which it is drawn. From all re-
ports the Charleston grand juries per-
sistently and consistently perjure them
selves. 1t is possible that the people of
Charleston are willing to tolerate such
a situation?
