Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
BLAcKsBuRa. October "a social
event which has been looked forward
to with much interest in our communi-
ty and elsewhere, took place. at the
Methodist church yesterday evening at
o'clock. 1t was the marriage of Miss
Zilpha Pollock to Mr.. Marvin Fl. Nor
row. The church was beautifully dec
Grated for the occasion, the colors being
green and yellow, and before the ap-
pointed hour was we'll filled with the
relatives and friends of the contract
ing parties. Just before the arrival OF
the wedding party, Miss Marion Coe
was escorted to the organ by her broth
ers, Will and Fred, who were the hand
some and graceful ushers, and as she
played the beautiful strains Of the we'd
ding march, the bridal party entered
the church, walking up the middle aisle
in the following order: Miss Lillian
Bollin, of Columbia, with Mr.. ]. c. Pen
ny, of Blacksburg; Miss Eethel Tehnent
of Marion, S. c., with Mr.. c. NJ. Smith,
of Gaffney: Miss Ida Penny, of Rock
Hill, with Mr.. Phil Freeman, of Blacks
burg; Miss Bonnie Morrow, of Ruth
erfordton, N. c., with Mr.. Robt. Swat
ford, Of Gaffney; Miss Lucy Pollock, of
Blacksburg, with Mr.. Jno. McAllister,
of Gaffney: Miss Mary Pollock, of
Blacksburg, with Mr.. John Pollock, of
Blacksburg. These in turn took their
places on the east side Of the altar.
Then came the groom with his best
man. Mr.. J. F. Cliff. of Louisville, KY,
and Immediately came the bride, es-
corted by the dame Of honor. Mrs. c. M.
Geer. of Rutherfordton. At the altar
the bride and groom met and there
plighted their troth under a beautiful
floral wedding bell. The ceremony was
performed by Rev. DR.. H. w. Bays, of
Rock Hill. assisted by Rev. Mr.. Clark
son. pastor of the church. The bride
was gowned in a handsome white silk.
with bridal veil almost covering her,
in which she looked very sweet and at
tractive. The bridemaids and dame of
honor were alternately dressed in yell
low and white, carrying bouquets Of
white carnations and ferns. The
groomsmen were attired in convention
al suits Of black, and all made picture
which was very beautiful and attract
i've to all beholders.
The bride is the eldest daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. A. H. Pollock, Of our
place. and a sweet and accomplished
young lady, and the groom Is prom
inent young business man and cashier
of the bank of Blacksburg. They left
last night for visit to Washington
and other northern cities. W. A.

THE New York State Democratic con-
vention met in Saratoga last Tuesday
and adjourned on Wednesday. Ex-Sen-
ator David B. Hill was in full control
Bird S. Coler, of Brooklyn. was nomi-
mated for governor and Hill men were
nominated for all of the other offices
An interesting development of the con-
vention was the refusal to seat either
of the two contesting delegations from
the Ninth New York city district
There was a great fight in the Ninth
district for the leadership. Lots OF
money was spent by rival aspirants;
but w. S. Devery won, and secured the
certificate of election. He took his del
egation to Saratoga, and Frank j.
Goodwin, his rival, went with con-
testing delegation. Devery is opposed
to D. B. Hill. 1t was out of the queS-
tion to seat the Goodwin crowd, because
it had not made much of a showing in
the election. The committee on Gre
dentials solved the problem by dec!in-
ing to seat either delegation on the
ground of corruption during the recent
campaign. The convention adopted the
report of the committee. Devery insist
ed on making a protest; but left the
convention with his followers, promis-
ing to do all he could to secure the elec-
ton of whatever ticket might be nomi-
mated. The main features of the con-
rention were the control by Hill and
the adoption of Il platform declaring
for public ownership of coal mines.

that he had nothing to do but to follow
out the instructions Of the trustees.
The meeting of one bright orphan girl
was especially pathetic. She plead with
the strangers to help her. that she was
an orphan without home, that her
brother had sent her money from Texas
to pay for her education and now she
was turned away. But there was no
door open for reason or mercy, the iron
rule must be obeyed. A strange thing
was discovered while the visitors were
there. Other students had failed and
were admitted. These favored ones had
failed at home and at the college. yet
they were received and no satisfactory
reason was given for the discrimina-
tion, except that they had attended
the summer eXaminationS.-Gree
Journal.
Whether true or false, the foregoing
is interesting. AS to whether it is true,
we have no information. Except in a
general way, we do not know great
deal about Winthrop college; but we
think we are about as well-informed on
the subject as is any other newspaper
We know that certain newspapers, for
various reasons, are quite hostile to the
college, and there have been cases under
our observation, where we have been
confident that these newspapers have
published some deliberate misrepresen-
tations for the purpose Of working in
jury to the institution. These stories
frequently poison the minds of people
who read them without suspicion as to
their motives. It is a well-known fact
that many applicants have. been turned
away from+Winthrop because>they could
not be accommodated. The Texas or
phan who was turned away, if such be
the fact, is entitled to sympathy; but
she is not entitled to quite, so much
sympathy as is the daughter of the
South Carolina taxpayer who may have
been turned away for the same reason.
If it is fact that there has been unfair
discrimination between the daughters
of South Carolina taxpayers, the thing
should be investigated; but we doubt
very much if there has really been any
such unfair discrimination.

THAT is an interesting story that Mr.
E. F. Land tells of the situation with
reference to Texas. Ordinarily II
would be calculated to alarm the read
er as to the future of the cotton in
dustry in this section; but as we un-
derstand it, there is really no danger
from this particular source. 1t seems
that the boil wcevil operates only in
the ranker cotton, such as is produced
on the more fertile soils of Texas. while
the poorer soils are comparatively i'm
mune from its ravages. If this is the
rule, then our part of the country is in
but little danger. On the contrary, as
cotton growing becomes more difficult
in Texas. it will likely become more
profitable here. We do not understand
from what Mr.. Land has said that the
Texas cotton crop is a complete failure
this year: but it is undoubtedly light
and this fact has no little to do with
the present reasonabl satisfactory
price that is being paid for cotton. :.

There was an incipient strike at the
Tavora mill a few nights ago because
certain of the operatives did NOT want
to work with an Objectionable hand.
The superintendent allowed the strikers
to leave; but insisted on retaining the
hand to whom objection was made.
Although the Kings Mountain Mill
tary academy now has the largest en-
rollment it has ever had, it still lacks
about fifteen cadets Of having as many
as it ought to have. With such excel
lent work as is being done at this
school, it is strange that there should
be a single vacancy for new applicants.
There is prospect of early improve
ment of the Wilson" property, known
as the "old JAIL building and lot, on
the corner Of Congress and Liberty
streets. Mr.. Alexander Long, Of Spar
tanburg, son-in-law of Mrs. w. B. Will
son, owner of the property, was over
here recently looking into the matter.
He investigated the situation in detail
and gave out an intimation of pur-
pose to erect two handsome store rooms,
fronting on Congress street and run
ming back hundred feet or more, with
another room or two in the rear, 'front.'
ing on East Liberty street. Mr.. Long
gave an order for plans and specifica-
tions for the proposed improvements.
and if he is successful in completing ar
rangements contemplated, will give out
a contract next spring. 1t Is q note
worthy fact that during the past few
years the business Of Yorkville has been
centering about the court house corner
and the Wilson lot is generally reckoned
as being one Of the most valuable in
town. The contemplated Improvements,
if carried out, will mean a great deal to
the business interests of Yorkville.

Roosevelt, on Monday, sent invitations
to the presidents Of the various anthra-
cite coal companies and to President
John Mitchell of the United Mine
Workers association, asking them to
meet him in the White House at Wash

tors accepted the invitation as did also
President Mitchell, and the conference
was no doubt held, but up to the time
at which it was necessary for THE EN-
ou1RER to go to press, no information
had been received as to the outcome
of the matter.

CONCEALED FROM THE REVENUES
Your correspondent was recently told
of moonshine still that deserves first
prize for ingenuity. 1t was not in Cher
okee county, but not very far away.
1t was in a hole under a cornfield, and
up above the natural product was wav-
Ing in the breeze and ripening prepara-
tory to being transformed into the fluid
extract. The door was between two
rows and was kept covered with turf.
Down below was a comfortable room
and plant with a capacity Of 20 gal
Ions a day. The smoke was carried
three-quarters Of mile through pipes
and there mingled with the boughs Of
mighty oak In order to not mar the
beauty Of the landscape. Water was
secured by merely pulling a stopper
from a pipe that connected with the
pure and sparkling water Of spring
half a mile up the mountain side.-

WASHINGTON dispatches suggest the
proba bilty of a cold time Of 1t at the
capital during the approaching winter
because of the coal strike. Coal for the
various departments and for the capi-
tol is furnished by contractors. 1t is
represented that because of the advance
in the price of coal, the contractors have
found it cheaper to forfeit their bonds
than to fill their contracts. and the de-
partments have no authority to pay
higher prices than those already pro-
vided for. The same condition Of affairs
is said to apply to the capitol. If this
be a correct representation Of the situ-
alton, the coal strike is nearing its end.
While warm, comfortable representa-
tives and senators may be unable to
find any remedy for such state of af-
fairs as has existed during the past six
months, we think it likely that cold,
half-frozen statesmen will find a way
to bring matters to an issue in short
order 1t might be best for the country
if the strike should last until after con-
gress meets.
