ETA JANE, April 20.-Farmers have
gone to work this morning IN dead
earnest. A few have planted cotton
seed, and some corn has been planted,
too. Gardens are generally late. The
wheat crop Is looking well, but
there are some indications OF rust on
it. Some old people say 1t Is only a
mold.
Enoree Presbytery is now In ses-
sion at Fairview church, In Laurens
county. Elder T. J. Estes represents
Salem. The communion meeting at
Salem church will embrace the flrst
Sabbath in May. Preparatory services
begin on Saturday before at II O'Clock
a. m, and again at night. The sacra =
ment of the Lords supper will be cell
ebrated on Sabbath at II a. m.
There is talk that Cherokee county
is to have another cotton seed oil mill.
This one will be built outside of the
town of Gaffney. We will speak of 1t
later, perhaps.
Miss Annie Miller's school will close
this week.
The Young Mems DEBATING society
debates every Saturday night at the
school house. This has been a great
means for the young men improving
themselves. Some rather Verdant
ideas are advanced pro and con by the
boys. At one time the query was: Re-
solved that the pen Is more powerful
than the sword. The argument went
on all right. Washington's sword and
the historians pen had been frequent
ly and forcibly spoken Of by their re-
spective advocates until Thorn Harris
an old Confederate soldier was called
upon to speak in favor Of the pen.
Thorn was stutterer, yet his speech
was short and to the point. He said
in substance: "G-g-gentlemen, y-y-you
spoke of W-w-w-ashington's s-sword,
b-b-but w-w-what c-c-could he DID,
done with his sword II he h-h-hadn't
had a pen to w-w-write his dispatches
with"
Some Of our Cherokee county farm
ers have been selling their cotton to
York county buyers and delivering 1t
at Hickory Grove. They have done
much better than many Of their neigh
bors, for they got 10 cents all round
for their crops.
The mail route from Hickory to this
place has been discontinued since the
18th instant.
Our thanks are due Hon. D. E. Fin
ley, NJ. c., for sending a supply OF
seeds to the patrons of this Office.
Since he has been representing this
congressional district he has been
faithful in the discharge Of this duty.
If any Of his constituents have been
overlooked 1t Is not his fault, but their
own. He tries to discharge his duty
to his constituents regardless Of their
social or financial standing.
DR.. Sam Foster, formerly of York
county, but later Of Union, has moved
to this section and will farm this year,
on what Is known as the Woolhight
place.
We are glad to learn that Mr.. John
L. Dowdle, of Hopewell, who has been
very low for a long time this spring,
is sufficiently recovered to be out
again. His recovery is looked upon as
q remarkable one. DR.. Ward, OF Htck-
ory Grove, was his physician and he
gave him all the attention 1t was pos
sible for him to do.
THE YoRKvILLE ENQUIRER has shown
a commendable spirit on the part OF It's
owners in getting correct roll OF the
men who went from York county to
the civil war. If the veterans and
their friends will now take hold OF
the matter as THE ENQUIRER gives 1t
to them, there is no reason why these
rolls cannot be made absolutely cor
rect. This is your opportunity, COM
rades and friends-don't let it pass.
As soon as these records are made
out the historian will place every name
in the company roll to which 1t be-
longs and historical sketches OF the
commands will follow.
