Drowned In the Catawba.
Two Negro laborers in the employ Of
the Catawba Power company, were
drowned in the river, a short distance
from the dam, last Saturday afternoon.
The name Of one Of them was Watt
Barnett; the name Of the other the re-
porter has been unable to learn. A
party of eight men was engaged in
floating an S0-foot log down from the
point Of the island, five miles above. to
the dam. They had been working at
the task pretty nearly all day, and
were getting along nicely until about S
o'clock, when the log, on some account.
turned over. The men who were on top
of it, were thrown into the water
Some held on to the log and others
made for the bank. The two men refer

who could not swim, lodged on rock,
from which he was rescued In half

learned of the disaster. Superintendent
Briggs went to the spot, which was on

even had the operation not been per-
formed. But in each case, it Is al
legged, surprising results followed.
From three to four days after the
op ration, patients began to mend, and
the mending continued until they be-
came sound and we'll. Although ad-
mitting that the discovery is an acci-
dent, the surgeons explain the situa-
tion like this: The kidney Is enclosed
in a tough envelope. Bright's disease
causes a swelling. which results in
compression, because the outer envel-
ope will not give. AS the result of
this compression the kidney is unable
to perform it's proper office. The cut
ting of the outer casing relieves the
pressure and gives the kidney the op-
portunity to do it's work. Since the
making of the accidental discovery
there have been a number of operations
directly for kidney disease and all of
them are reported to have been sue
ceSsful.

THE COTTON MILL MERGER.

F. L. Underwood and Leonard Paul
son, Of New York, who are promoting
the much talked of $60,0O0,000 cotton
mill company. that is seeking to ac-
quire control Of the cotton spinning
business in the south. were in Yorkville
last Saturday consulting with the di-
rectors Of the York and the Tavora
Cotton mills.
The visitors made a personal inspec-
tion of the plants and properties Of
both Of the local cotton mills and then
had a long conference with the direc-
tors. explaining the plans Of the pro-
posed merger and answering such
questions as the directors Of the local
mills saw proper to ask.
The plan of Underwood and as
sociates is to secure a charter under the
laws of the state of New Jersey for
the Southern Cotton Yarn company"
which is to be capitalized at 100000, ,0OO.
They are making an identical PROPOSE
ton to all the mills they seek to abb
sorb and that proposition Is like this.
We will take your property at it's ac-
tual cash value. less such Indebtedness
as you may have, and give you prefer
red stock. half and half. to the amount
of 220 per cent. The preferred stock
is to be entitled to per cent. dividends,
and the common stock is to have the
balance of the profits. There Is to be
nothing of the nature of a mortgage
about the preferred stock. Underwood
and associates are to provide about S.,
900, 900 cash. and for their labors in con-
nection with the perfection of the or
ganization, they are to receive 10 per
cent. Of the whole capitalization.
The reporter asked one of the direc-
tors, explaining the plans of the pro-
Mr.. Underwood, as to what he thought
of the latter's proposition. He replied,
"Oh. we were just getting information.
am not prepared to express an opin-
ion yet. 1t is too big a matter to decide
off hand"
Messrs. Underwood and Paulson were
in Charlotte Saturday night, and in a
list of the mills that thew gave to The
Observer as certain to go into the mer-

YoRKyILLE GRADED SCHOOL,

The closing exercises Of the Yorkyille
Graded school took place in the court
house auditorium last Friday night,
and the large crowd that was in at
tendance fully attested the wholesome
interest that the community feels in
this pet institution. There was not a
vacant seat in the large hall when the
exercises commenced, and many were
glad to be able to find comfortable
standing room from which to see and
hear the proceedings to advantage
The exercises were opened with an
appropriate prayer by Rev. w. G. New
lille, after which Misses Hattie Keith
and Julia Smith, pupils Of the school,
made highly creditable recitations.
Their efforts received liberal applause,
which they richly deserved, and the
Indian club drill that followed was
highly entertaining to the entire audi
ence.
The only graduate as the result Of the
past years work was Miss Mary E.
Williams, daughter Of Mr.. L. r. Will
Inns. She read most creditable es-
say that met with the hearty approba-
ton Of the audience and was the re-
cipient Of applause and flowers; also Of
a diploma.
A particularly interesting feature Of
the programme was the presentation
Of the medal offered to the members Of
the ninth grade by the Kings Mountain
chapter Of the Daughters Of the Amer
lean Revolution, for the best paper on
the life and character Of Eliza Lucas
Pinckney. The offer was made some
months ago, and although it was gen.
erly known that there were some seven
or eight contestants and that their pa
pers had been submitted, nothing had
been given out as to the identity Of the
winner. The nice task Of discriminate
ing between the merits Of the respect
I've papers was delegated to commit
tee consisting Of w. w. Lewis, Esq.
Rev. J. c. Johnes and Miss Maggie
Gist, and upon Mr.. Lewis devolved the
duty Of announcing the committees
verdict and presenting the medal. Mr..
Lewis stated that each member of the
committee had first examined all the
papers carefully, and afterward gone
over them together. Several of the pa
pers were most excellent, and it was
really a difficult matter to decide be-
tween them; but finally the committee
agreed unanimously that the paper
signed Dixie" was the best all round
production, and upon opening the en-
velopes containing the names Of the
competitors. it was found that this pa
per was the production of Miss Agalice
McCaw. Miss McCaw was asked to
come forward and the medal was pre-
sented with an appropriate speech.
Miss McCaw, the winner of the med
al, is a daughter of w. B. McCaw, Esq,
She received the medal with becoming

THE isthmian canal bill is scheduled
to come up in the senate today and
continue as the special order until dis
posed Of The majority of the COM
mittee has reported in favor of the Mic
aragua route, and the minority COM
mends the Panama route, but favors
the plan Of leaving it with the presi-
dent to choose between the two. AS to
what will be done about the matter
cannot be predicted with a great deal
of certainty; but the preponderance of
opinions seems to have it that the Re-
publican majority really has no defi-
mite purpose of digging the canal at all.
It is quite possible that some way Will
be found in which to sidetrack the bill
and dodge the responsibility for non
action.

Editor Yorkville Enquirer:
I ask space in your valuable paper
to make reply to charges made against
me and the insurance company I rep

frauds by this author, and In order to
make myself clear and plain to the
members Of our company. 1 publish my

and on the - day Of November, 1901,
and made application for and obtain
ed commission from the proper author
dated on the 10th day of November,
1901, and was signed by the secretary
Of state.
AS to the Duncan claim, an assess
ment has been ordered to pay this
claim and will be paid to the proper
parties as soon as the same is collect
ed. and as fast as it is collected.
The Smith claim Is for one thousand,
and the full amount has been ordered

standing has arisen. And so will the
death claims of every member in good

find that there is nearly one thousand
dollars due the home office In fees

known to many of you for the past
three months and I say that It Is your
privilege to write insurance with whom
you please. am very truly, etc.

modesty and made an acknowledge
ment; but what she said could not be
heard for the reason that her words
were lost in the enthusiastic applause
that followed the presentation.
Prof. J. C. Daniel announced with re-
Lodge, who had accepted an invitation
to deliver an address during the even
ing and explained the Doctors absence
with the statement that he had been
unable to leave Gaffney on account Of
a sudden attack Of illness. Mr.. Daniel
went on to thank the audience in behalf
Of the faculty for the hearty co-opera-
ton the patrons Of the school had ex-
tended during the year just closed, and
expressed his qualification at the unus-
ually pleasant relations that had exist
ed all round, concluded with a request
for few remarks from G. w. S. Hart,
ESQ.,. chairman of the board of trustees.
Following up the same line on which
Prof. Daniel had spoken, Mr.. Hart
made acknowledgment Of the satis-
faction that the board of trustees feel
over the manner In which their efforts
had been endorsed and furthered by the
audience. He referred to the size Of
the audience as compared with the au-
ditorium and suggested. that at the
next gathering on a similar occasion,
there would be plenty Of room for all
the patrons In an auditorium Of their
own. At this remark the children
started a round Of applause, which was
taken up enthusiastically by the entire
audience. Mr.. Hart also took advant
age of the opportunity to call attention
to another matter in which he felt sure
that the community had no little inter-
est. This was duty which, 1t seemed
to him, had devolved upon the people
in connection with the sad tragedy that
had occurred during the early days Of
the month. 1t was very plain that
such heroism as was displayed by one
of the cadets Of the K. M. M. A., on
that occasion, was deserving Of public
recognition. He had hoped that some
one else would take the initiative In the
matter; but as yet no one had been
moved to do so, and what he had to
say was prompted more than anything
else by a sense Of duty. He had reli-
able information that people in Rock
Hill and Gastonia, .and at least one
gentleman in Kershaw, were desirous
Of contributing to the purchase Of a
fitting testimonial to the manly cour-
age that was displayed by one of the
cadets on the occasion of the tragedy,
and while he would not be willing to
ask anybody to contribute or circulate
q subscription paper, he would gladly
receive and be responsible for all such
contributions as might be voluntarily
placed in his hands.

THE question as to whom Governor
McSweeney will appoint to the United

resignation of Senator McLaurin, Is
agitating the politicians. We have no
information on the subject: but If ask

Willie Jones. There are reasons Why

HooDTowN June 1.-The cool wealth.
er of the past few days has checked the
growth of cotton considerably, especial
ly on gray lands. where 1t has french
ed' more or less.
Cotton and upland corn both have
been doing we'll. Most of the cotton
has been chopped out; but where done
early so much young cotton has come
up as to cause it to require chopping
again. However, it Is cleaner from
grass than usual at this season, owing
to more favorable weather conditions.
There has been a good deal of COM
plant Of bud worms in bottom corn,
much of which has been badly damaged
by them.
Wheat will be very light. But few
fields we have seen will be worth cut
ting. A few patches here and there
are looking well, and bid fair to be
good. Oats will be very light also.
Most Of the spring oats will be too
short to cut, especially if rain does not
come soon.
Gardens are suffering most of all
however.
Quite number of our people have
visited the Charleston exposition. your
correspondent among the number.
Most of them express themselves as
having been amply repaid for the
small outlay incident to the trip.
