or court are TO pc drawn next TUESDAY,
and the probability is that they will
have to serve two weeks. There is con-
siderably more business on the cal
endars than the court can dispose Of,
even in two weeks; but as Judge Watts
has been appointed to hold a special
term in Spartanpurg, he will not be
able to finish all the work that is pend
ing here. TS
- The Yorkville fire department. now
has facilities with which to fight fire>to
the best advantage. A handsome new
fire wagon was received last Wednes-
day night, and with 1t Is one thousand
feet Of new hose, two chemical extin-
guishers, extension ladders, rubber
coats and hats axes, crowbars, etc. It
Is intended that the wagon be drawn
by two horses, and 1t is the under
standing that it will be stationed near
one Of the livery staples where teams
will always be available.
AT meeting Of the town council
Thursday night, it was decided to pyo-
vide pest house and q house-
Of detention in which to take care
of smallpox patients and suspects.
Another meeting was held yesterday
morning and 1t was decided TO pass an
ordinance to provide for compulsory
vaccination within the corporate limits
as the best means OF providing against
further spread Of the disease. This
conclusion was arrived at on the ad-
vice Of Drs. r. A. Bratton, M. J. Wal
ker, ]. D. Mcdowell, w. G. White and
]. I. Barron, all Of whom were present
at the meeting.
house is an entertainment to be given
on the evening of April 4. It is now
in process Of rehearsal under the
charge Of Mrs. r. T. Stephenson, who
has already scored several decided sue
cesses Of this nature. and 1t is to be
for the benefit Of the X. M. M. A. Ath-
letic association. Quite a number OF
Yorkville's most popular young people
are among the participants. and In
view Of the object as-well as Of the
genuine merit that may be safely an
ticipated, it Is not unreasonable to as
sumo that the audience will equal IN
size and enthusiasm those that have
already turned out so readily on previ-
Gus similar occasions.
The people Of Yorkville and the pa
irons Of the Kings Mountain Military
academy, will be gratified to hear that
the excellent faculty which has been
doing such good work in that institu-
ton during the past year, will remain
intact during next year. Contracts were
entered into on Thursday. Major u.
M. Bernard will continue as command
ant; Captain j. H. Witherspoon as in
structor Of English history and moral
philosophy; Captain r. T. Stephenson
as instructor of mathematics; Captain
H. D. Wolff as instructor Of Greek,
Latin and French, and Captain w. ..
Schneider as instructor Of natural
sciences and German. Everybody who
has looked into the work Of the 4. Nd.
M. A., and quite number Of Yorkville
people have done so, are enthusiastic
over the high grade Of efficiency that
has been reached, and hence especial
qualification at the knowledge that
there will be no changes. Another rea-
son for general satisfaction Is the high
place these excellent teachers have
taken for themselves in the estimation
Of all Of the people Of the town.
Although it can hardly be said that
any definite steps looking to that end
have been taken yet, the idea OF
erecting a f1rst-class modern hotel
building on the old Parish hotel
lot. has not been abandoned. II any
thing, the sentiment for the hotel
is stronger now than 1t was a Few
months back when the old building was
burned. Mrs. Parish has been investi-
eating the matter as carefully as pos
sible and collecting data as to the prob
able cost Of a suitable new building.
She has had three sets Of plans made,
and now has a set Of plans that seem
to be quite satisfactory. These plans
provide for handsome two story brick
structure, to contain Office, sample
rooms, reading room, bath rooms, par
lor and 16 guest rooms. The plans pro-
vide for heating by steam and hgnting
by electricity, and the estimated cost
of the building Is about $4,000. II COM
pleted in accordance with the plans OF
the architect, the hotel will be one OF
the best appointed and handsomest lit
tie structures of the kind to be found
| in any town the size of Yorkville In
this section. The question OF now the
building Is to be erected, however, has
not yet been decided. Mrs. Parish says
she is tempted to undertake the work
alone; but as she does not see how she
can carry it through without going
considerably into debt, she Is disposed
TO hesitate. If she should finally de-
eide not to go it alone she will proba-
bly, organize a stock company, make
a liberal subscription to the capital
stock, and ask the business men OF
Yorkville to subscribe the balance.
Aside from the advantages that are
likely to accrue to the town from the
presence of a handsomely appointed
modern hotel, Mrs. Parish believes she
can show the business people where
they can reasonably expect fair re-
turn from their investment, and 1t Is
on that basis that she will ask for sub
scriptions If she asks at all.
