hailstones continued to fall for nearly
an hour and during that time there
was but little rain. After the shower
was over the ground was covered to
depth of some six inches. The hail
stones ranged In size from that OF a
pea to cherry.
The special services which were
conducted in the Presbyterian church
during last week closed on Sunday
night. The pastor, Rev. w. G. Neville,
was assisted in all Of these services by
Rev. r. G. McLees. Of Greenwood, who
did all the preaching. The congrega-
tions were large during the whole
meeting, especially on Sunday. It was
estimated that there were about 700
people in the church on Sunday night.
Mr.. McLees preached sixteen sermons
and all of them were Of very high
order. He is preacher Of rare abil-
ity, and his sermons made profound
impression on the hearts OF the peo-
pie. His discourses are all projected on
a very high standard and are free from
the objections that characterize the
sermons Of many preachers who are
engaged in evangelistic work Mr.
McLees soul seems to be filled with
zeal for the glory Of God and the sal
vation Of men. AS one result OF the
meeting, there were fourteen additions
to the Presbyterian church on profess
sion. There will probably be others to
follow, and it may be that there will be
additions to some Of the other
churches. The meeting was attended
by members of all the churches In
town and many came In from the sur
rounding country. The people in this
community will give Mr.. McLees
warm welcome whenever he can come
TO US again.
Quite large number of the friends
and patrons Of the Yorkville Graded
school assembled in the school audi
torium last Monday night to hear the
address Of DR.. George B. Cromer, pres
ident Of Newberry college. The exer-
cises Of the evening were commenced
with prayer by Rev. ]. c. Johnes, after
which Miss Marie Carroll rendered q
vocal solo and Rev. w. g. Neville In
troduced the speaker. DR.. Cromer
spoke for about forty minutes on the
general subject Of education-its mean
ing, it's scope and its practical appli-
cation. He gave his audience some
sound advice, based upon long per-
sonal experience, and illustrated his
remarks with strikingly apt anecdotes,
that interested the children as well as
the older people. He was peculiarly
happy and forceful in his complete and
comprehensive uncovering Of the pow
er Of education and competent judges
seem to be agreed that 1t was the fin-.
est talk they have ever heard on the
subject. At the close Of DR.. Cromers
address, Superintendent Walker invit-
ed the audience to inspect exhibits IL
Illustrative of the work of the children
writing, drawing, composition, etc.
Some Of these exhibits were highly
creditable, and the audience manifest
ed much interest. The closing exer-
cises Of the school will be concluded
this (Tuesday) evening with papers
and essays from members Of the grad
uating class, the presentation Of diplo-
mas, and a unique drill by the smaller
children. 49,, ........ .4-

THE GOOD ROADS CONVENTION

The GOOD ROADS CONVENTION.
II the proposed good roads conyen-
tion to be held in Rock Hill next Tues
point Of attendance and entertainment
1t will not be the fault Of the commit
tee charged with arrangements or Of
the people Of Rock Hill. This Is to be
inferred from a communication re-
ceived from Rock Hill by telephone
yesterday.
It seems that the central committee
has determined upon the holding Of a
basket picnic and barbecue, a COM
mittee of fifteen, with Mr.. w. H. Wylie
as chairman has been appointed to
make arrangements. This committee
in turn has raised subscriptions to the
amount Of $3.50 or 5000 with which to
buy. the meats necessary for barbecue
purposes, and to pay other expenses
and has also appointed white ribbon
reception committee Of one hundred.
This reception committee will be
charged with the duty of looking after
visitors and making them comfortable
Senator Latimer has formally ac-
cepted an invitation to deliver his good
roads speech on the occasion Of the
convention and Senator Tillman and
Governor Hayward will also be pres
ent.
The people Of Rock Hill and country
Immediately surrounding will furnish
baskets to help out the barbecue, and
it Is safe to say that all visitors will
be abundantly provided for in the way
Of refreshments.
It Is the understanding that the invi-
tation of the committee has been ex-
tended to all of the people Of the
county who are interested in the sub.
ject Of good roads, and everybody
present will be entitled to such talking
privileges as they may DESIRE

Editor Yorkville Enquirer:
Your offer to publish free, portraits
and sketches Of the old people Of York
county is, indeed, very generous one,
and will, I believe, be appreciated by
vestigation that people who have
reached the age Of 80 years Of age are
like mile stones-yea, like angels Wis.,
it's. They are scarce indeed. I'm now
getting some data and will soon get a
photo Of a fine old man in this section
for you. enclose you a list Of per-
sons all Of whom I believe are 80 years
old. The relatives and friends Of these
old people should take advantage Of
your generous offer at once and fur
nish you with photos and data. If I
can be Of any service to you, just call
me by phone. Your truly.

ERAL MANAGER OF THE LINE.

Receiver Malott will to-day announce that
Benjamin McKeen will be the new general
manager of the Vandalia system He is
a son of William r. McKeen, who was for
many years president of the Vandalia, and
was born in 1864. He graduated from Rose
Polytechnic Institute at Terre Haute as
mechanical engineer in 1885. and immediate
iy entered the engineering works OF the
Vandalia in the maintenance of way de-
partment as chairman. In 1887 he was made
engineer of maintenance of way of the
Logansport division. and subsequently act
ed in the same capacity also on the Peoria
division. In 1894 he was appointed super
intendent of the Peoria division. In June,
1901 he succeeded II. 1. Miller as superin-
tendent OF the main line, remaining in that
place until April, 1902, when he accepted
the position of superintendent of terminals
at Chicago for the Pennsylvania system,
which he now leaves on the 18th of this
month to re-enter the service of the Van
dalia as general manager in charge of the
transportation department. 1t will be seen
that with the exception of the short time
at Chicago his railroad service has been
with the Vandala- He is therefore thor
oughly acquainted with the properties in
the Vandalia system, and, having been sue
ceSSful In all places heretofore occupied by
him, 1t is thought he will make worthy

dalid.

BULLS IN CONTROL OF COTTON.

NEW YORK. Dec. S.-The action of the cotton

rs well as the ability to hold 10 THEN position.
The attempts the part OF the bear element

Warm weather Would Cause Slump in
Market and Colder Weather would
Make Prices Higher.

Commission men continue to protect them
selves against a slump In the egg market by ac-
cumulating only small supplies. Almost every
of the largest dealers on Commission row
admits that. under the existing conditions. the
present price of eggs is not too high but at the
same time most of the dealers still have an I'M
easy feeling toward this market. Warm weather
for q week two would have depressing ef-
feet egg prices. There is no doubt, on the
other hand that two weeks of cold weather
would have exactly the opposite effect. and
prices would go considerably higher. The big
factor In this market, to be sure, is the weather
Knowing that prices are not too high now.
but that they would be very susceptible under
warmer weather, few OF the large dealers care
to accumulate large supplies. The present sup
plies of eggs here smaller considerably than
at this time last year, and material shiNnkage
in receipts which would be caused by cold
weather would make eggs scarce here az
they would be plentiful IL the weather should
be warm a week two But the commission
men would much rather have the price advance,
with short supplies on hand, than to have the
market slump with large supplies on their
hands, bought at these prices So they are buy
ing only in such quantities as their Immediate
orders require.
Poultry prices continue steady and practically
unchanged, with continued indications of the
market hardening slightly before long. Rabbits

FINISH FIGHT ON
BETWEEN CATTLEMEN
Independent Organization to Estab-
lish StOckyards on a New
Basis.

ST. LOUIS. Dec. s.-Preparations for re-
establishing the stockyards and packing house
industry this side of the river, and for
launching an enterprise which is regarded by
stockmen and packing house managers as the
opening move in a fight to settlement between
the cattle raisers and the so-called beef trust,
have been completed in st. Louis within the
past few days
The Independent Stockyards Company has
been organized in ST. Louis and will be in
operation by the first of the year. The St
Louis Union Packing Company, closely allied
with. and to a large extent dependent upon,
the stockyards company, will also begin oper-
atng by JAN ], 1904 Both concerns will oc-
cupy the site of the old Union stockyards on
Bremen avenue.
The Independent Stockyards Company was in
corporated Nov. 10 with a capital stock OF
900. The St. Louis Union Packing Com
pany was Incorporated Nov. &c. with a capital
stock Of $l000,0o0. Of which 100000 has been
paid in.
1t is stated that the movement which re-
suited In the formation of the independent COM
panies began three months ago. IL had its
inception in the protest Of the cattemen OF
the country, framed at convention held in
Kansas City, to the effect that they were no;
getting enough money for their cattle. The So
called trust" they complained. had absorbed
all competitors and was the sole arbiter of the
market, thereby compelling cattlemen to sell
at a price in which there very little
or no profit. no matter how high the price OF
meat might be- The plans of formation were
carefully guarded and nothing was permitted
to become public until now.

THE LIVE STOCK MARKET.
CONCLUDED FROM PAGE TEN.)
SMALL HORSE MARKET.
Most of the Offerings Yesterday Work
HOrses-Smal Demand.

The marketing of horses continues of small
volume, less than 100 head having arrived for the
opening auction sale this week. AS usual at this
time in the year. there not complete va
riety Of grades represented. In fact, the largest
percentage of the offerings were work horses.
The quality was no better than it has been for
some time past, and, therefore, there was no
occasion for any change in the market. There
was only fair attendance of buyers and no i'm
portant orders, consequently the bidding was
backward, and statesmen had less diff
hculty in disposing of the supply steady prices
One cause for the small demand at this time Is
the unfavorabe conditions existing elsewhere.
The light receipts accounted for by the
limited demand and the fact that shippers are
unable to buy many horses that be sold on
the market at fair profit country cost.
There were very few horses here to-day that sold
above $3.50. and the bulk OF the supply of medium
chunks and drivers sold at Sl00Ql25 with smaller
and less desirable horses at $35Q9O.
