Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1901-12-18

The daily papers Of Monday morn
ing were filled with storm, flood and
cold wave news from all parts Of the
country, the most serious portion Of 1t
relating to floods In New York and
Pennsylvania. Warm weather was fol-
lowed by thawing SHOWS, hard rains
and heavy winds. In and around New
York state, the winds reached q veloci-
ty Of 4S miles an hour. Nearly every
stream in the state became a raging
torrent and all Of the important rail-
roads suffered. many miles Of the Le-
high and Lackawanna tracks being
washed away. At Ithaca, N. Y, the
damage is estimated at 100000; but
this Is only small item in the wide
spread disaster which amounts to
many millions In the state. People go
back to 1857 for a record of previous
storm equally disastrous. Pennsylva-
MIA reports many railroad tracks wash
ed up and numerous coal mines flooded
with losses aggregating millions Of dol
lars. All of the northwestern states
report the coolest weather ever known
at this season and no part Of the coun-
try seems to have escaped the cold
wave.

the recent Wylie- ie-McKeown marriage
at that place:

Miss Maud McKeown and Mr.. Erasmus

Mr.. w. Brown Wylie, Of Yorkville,
uncle Of the bride, gave her away. The
groomsmen and bridesmaids came IN
singly. a groomsman up one aisle and
his vis-a-vis up the other. each, on ar
irving at the front, crossing over and
taking positions as above. After them
came the maid Of honor, followed by
the flower girl bearing waiter with
the wedding ring. Then came the bride
with her uncle and up the other aisle
the groom and his best man.
A pretty ring service was used. Mr.
White took the vows and offered pray
er, after which Mr.. Brown having re-
quired the token, received the ring from
the rendered waiter, gave 1t to the
groom, who placed 1t on the brides
finger, the maid Of honor having re-
moved the glove. Kneeling now the
pair received the blessing and rising
were pronounced husband and wife. :.
The music starting. they passed

girl, the best man and the maid Of hon.
or going down the other aisle. The
groomsmen and bridesmaids followed
in pairs, passing out to where carriages
were waiting at the door, whence the
whole party was conveyed to the
brides home, where an informal recep-

The bride, a daughter Of the late DR..

ing dress.
After the reception the newly mar
ried, with a few friends, drove to
Cornwell to take the train. While
waiting for the 11.3O train these friends
and crowds Of others who had come to
see the bride and groom off, made d.
vers unsuccessful Attempts to check
the trunk with old shoes, and were sue
cessful in deluging the bridal pair with
rice, to the discomfort Of the conductor
and porter. who, with mouths agape.
were filled with wonderment and-rtce.

ceived only one copy Of the paper
That was more than a month ago."
Names can be given in the forego-
ing cases if demanded, and a number
of other cases can be cited If necessary.
AS has been remarked before, we
would like to give the Columbia State
these names in exchange for the name
of that party who has been receiving
a salary from Mr.. Smith for IA months.
In order that there may be no misun-
derstanding about this matter, we
would have it understood that THE
ENQUIRER does not give any endorse
ment to the Smith letter published
above. People who desire to give
credence to what Mr.. Smith has to
say, must do so on their own RESPONSE
bility, and likewise with those who
may be impressed with the fairness
and plausibllity of the letter. If there
be any who are wiling to back the en-
dorsement Of the Columbia State with
their cash, it Is their privilege.

other factor that has to be reckoned
with in getting an idea Of the situation.
Builders say this is the most prosper
Gus year they have ever experienced
and they also say unpleasant things
about the railroads. There is not
road coming into New York that can
boast of it's ability to handle effectively
all of it's freight. The coal roads are
badly tied up, the soft coal roads es-
pecially. There Is just as great lack
of cars for general merchandise.

in their enthusiasm over the success of
what they thought they had done, they
would cable task that he nor no other
man living could accomplish. In con-
sidering, therefore, whether Schley had
obeyed an order to jump I'D and crack
his heels together six times before
striking the ground again. he was In
a very good humor to regard jump
with only two cracks Of the heels as
substantial compliance.
It is not likely that the country Is 60
ing to be satisfied with the report OF
the majority of the court, or that 1t Is
going to allow that report to become
part Of the record. If Admiral Schley
is deserving Of all the glory that at
taches to the commander-in-chief OF
the Santiago squadron, the public Is
not going to sanction any official de-
liverance that will warrant a future
generation in wrrng this brave old sea
dog down as an incompetent, disobedi-
ent bungler.

daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. R. B. Bigger,
OF Energy, was seriously burned last
Monday morning. All Of the particu-
lars that have been received came by
telephone on Monday afternoon. They
were to the effect that the child's cloth
ing caught and its body was seriously
burned from its waist down. At last
accounts there was some hopes for the
recovery Of the little sufferer.
High Water.
/All of the streams in this immediate
section, especially those west Of York
Vile, were out Of their banks during
last Sunday. Bullock's creek, Kings
creek and Clark's Fork. were all high.
Turkey creek and Fishing creek were
only slightly swollen. Broad river
was about nineteen feet above low wa
ter at Howell's ferry Sunday and Mon
day, and at virgins ferry the Cataw-

The rivers were swollen by unusually

Education at the Mills.
Textile Excelsior: John c.. Cary,
president and treasurer, Lockhart mills,
Lockhart, S. c., has a school which is
open during the day and night for the
benefit of the operatives. All the ex-
penses Of this school, including employ
ment Of the teacher, are betrayed by
the mill, and everything is done to as
sist the operatives in securing an edu-
cation. During the day the children
are in school and it Is kept open at
night for the benefit of anyone. includ-
ing parents, who might wish to i'm
prove themselves. This Is most COM
mendable work. While a great many
mills in the south have established
schools and have betrayed the expens-
es, yet this Is the first instance we have
heard Of where any efforts have been
made to educate any operatives except
children.

reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There Is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed con-
dition Of the mucous lining Of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when 1t Is
entirely closed deafness Is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition Of the MUCOUS
surfaces.
