RIDING IN A MOTOR VEHICLE.


How 1t Feels to Gaze Through Goggles on
Landscape That Rushes nt You.
Until the other day my experiences
Of motor riding had not been worth
mentioning. l had been on u motor,
OF course, both here and over the way,
and I had seen something of its capa-
bilities of upsetting, not merely my
self and other people, but the idea
l had entertained of the relations OF
time and space. Still, the most l had
seen motor do in the vicinity of
Paris had been done at the rate OF
two-something miles an hour, while,
in London, where, as yet, its per-
formances are viewed with a less in
dulgent eye, one-something per hour
had been about It's record. However,
| had been offered the opportunity of
seeing the veteran fairly extended
as one used to say of a horse; and,
as / am still fond of new experiences,
l closed with the offer.
The first thing l learned was that
you cannot ride q motor, when exten-
sion is contemplated, without GER

and thus, l presently found myself in
goggles and a tapped cap, constructed
to tie under the chin, and water

what the particular road was that we

not unfavorablo to free and easy loco
motion. SO, from one-something the
motor got into two-something, and
that process Of extension was gradu-
ally continued, until, from the indica-
ton afforded By the lnilestones, I con-
cluded she must be doing nearer four

better of it, for we certainly

still. We seemed to leave good

and houses rather rushed at us, and

quite satisfactorily explained to me.
The use Of tobacco had even earlier

The passion for pie cannot be float
ed or ahated by the jeers and gibes
of satirists and fun makers opines the
New York Tribune. New York City is
almost as Unsuitable as New England
in its craving for this savory delight
of the palate. Companies which pro-
duce and distribute pies in vast guam
titles and of every imaginable kind
are now flourishing on an extensive
scale. The wagons of these companies
are among the -seatest and most taste
full of the business vehicles seen in
our streets. Fancies in food may
change to some extent, but the sale of
pies among the masses shows no fall
ing off.

A train robbery in Minnesota and
the hold-up Of a stage coach in the Ad-
ironuacEs, both having occurred on the
same day, constitute gentle reminders
of the fact that tho road agents are
still with us and gaining a precarious
living from their nerarlous business.
The wonder is not that such things
happen but that they are not of more
frequent occurrence in a country des-
titute of an efficient rural police. The
comparative infroquency of road rob-
berries under the circumstances testi-
fies to the law abiding character Of
the American people

Rev. J. B. Bozeman, who recently ac-

Of beginning work.
Misses Ride and Grace Lee, Of
Blacksburg, spent Wednesday and
Thursday in Yorkville, with Mr.. and
Mrs. o. E. Grist.
John Lowlow, the famous clown, so
we'll remembered by the older people IN
connection with John Robinson's cir
Gus, is still with the show. He has
nothing to do with the ring any more,
his time for that having passed; but
is now connected with the commissary
department. He spent the greater
part Of Thursday looking about town
and renewed acquaintances with many
older citizens who used to know him
40 years or more ago. John LowloW
was the greatest clown of his day, and
his superior has not been produced
since he left the ring.
THE ENQUIRER staff was especially
pleased to make the acquaintance of
Mr.. H. F. Hoffman, the accomplished
and courteous press agent with John
Robinson's shows. The press agent Is
now considered very necessary man
with the modern big show. 1t is his
especial duty to hunt up all the local
newspaper men, including correspond
ents Of the dailies. and cultivate an ac-
quaintance with them. His mission
has q practical object, of course. That
accidents and mishaps Of whatever ma
ture, are common in connection with
the travels of circus, is reasonable
consequence. Where the circus Is In
anyway concerned, and the newspa-
pers are unable to get the exact facts
it Is natural that they should lay the
blame on the circus It Is the business
of the press agent to know the news
paper men, and in the event Of acci-
dent or mishap Of the nature describ-
ed, to present the facts Of his side OF
the case. Mr.. Hoffman made the i'm
preston here that he was man who
wanted nothing except what was fair
and had anything happened out Of the
usual order, it is safe to say that the
interests Of John Robinson would not
have suffered on account Of one-sided
and prejudicial statements.

town council closed a contract for the
purchase of 1000 feet Of additional fire
hose, half dozen or more rubber
coats and hats for the use of nozzle
men, and some "cut-off" nozzles. The
question OF the purchase Of a combina-
tion hose wagon Is also under consider
alton. The new hose Is Of the same
quality as that which has been in use
for the past eight years and which, al
though still apparently good, Is no
longer to be relied upon.
lMessrs. Glenn & Allison have pur-
chased another omnibus to take the
place of the one they have been using
so long and which Is all but worn out.
There were some gambling games
in connection with the circus Thurs
day, as was naturally to be expected.
Mayor Willis made every effort to pre-
vent such games, and stipulated In the
general license that 1t should not be
construed to permit gambling of any
kind. But all the same there was gam
bling. Jack DAILY, the famous prize
fight referee, ran a game in one Of the
side shows, and there were other games
about, most of them under canvas
Daily told his patrons: "Now. If lose
I am going to pay you. and If you lose
I don't want to hear any whining. Re-
member, we are playing for keeps >
People who watched Daly's game said
that it seemed to be perfectly fair, al
though the odds were largely in his
favor. He did only a fairly good
business, most Of the people being
rather too suspicious for him.

THE TOWN.

r. The town council charged the John
Robinson shows a license fee Of 500.
3 The chestnut season Is on, and the
nuts seem to be about as full Of meat
as usual.
- The county board Of commission
ers will hold its regular monthly
meeting next Wednesday.
AzNWhisky receipts by express from
North Carolina continue to hold up at
a rate that inalcates a flourishing bus
mess.
The police force consisted of IA men
on Thursday; but hardly more than a
half dozen arrests were made during
the day.
4 The town council had the streets
we'll sprinkled during Wednesday, to
keep down the dust that was antici-
pated on account of the circus on
Thursday.
- The Carolina and North Western
railroad authorities desire the public
to take notice that there will be no
more stopping Of trains at the "old de-
pot" to take on or put off passengers.
The merchants, especially the dry
goods men, mad a most satisfactory
day of it on Thursday. They were
rushed from morning until night, and
but few Of the clerks got to see the
show.
During some years past, the circus
people have been getting great deal
Of money out of local merchants for
advertising. Most of the merchants
are doubtful about the value of this
kind of advertising, and the Robinson
people did not reap so righ harvest
as has been the luck of some of the
previous circuses.

Ugly Affair at TimmOnsville.

Twenty-three business houses, COM
posing the heart Of the town Of Tim
monsville, were burned last Wednes-
day morning. There was an explosion
in the store of Smith & Dennis that
aroused the town and then the flames
burst out. A keg Of powder is suppos-
ed to have exploded. There was no
apparatus for fighting the fire and cit
liens were compelled to witness the de-
struction of their property without be-
ing able to lift a hand to stay the
flames. One block Of ten brick stores
including the bank OF Timmonsville,
is in the burned district. The loss Is
conservatively placed at 100000. with
.ess than one-third insurance. A SEN
sational feature developed during the
afternoon, when w. F. Dennis, OF
Smith & Dennis, general merchandise
merchants, was arrested for arson.
Smith had left the town when citizens
called at his place. Dennis refuses to
talk. Because Of the peculiar manner
in which the fire started, suspicion
rested on these men and a search OF
their premises revealed boxes of goods,
shoes, ETC., stacked in their houses and
barns. These goods were removed from
their store before the fire. A warrant
has been issued for Smith.
