WITHIN THE TOWN.

- The new schedule on the Carolina
and North Western railroad Is con-
tributing somewhat to Yorkville's
trade. People from the south Of York
Vile are taking advantage Of this
schedule to come and go the same day.
Pursuant to general orders pub
lished at the Kings Mountain Military
Academy last Wednesday afternoon,
squads will be sent to the cemeteries
at Bethel, Rock Hill and Yorkville, to-
day Saturday to fire salutes over the
graves Of Cadets E. M. Nichols, J.
Frank Lindsay and Harry G. Stevens,
the three young men who were drown
ed in Blacks pond, two miles west Of
Yorkville, on the third day Of May Of
last year under such tragic circum-
stances.
The Winnie Davis chapter U. D.
c., Is very mu:h concerned on account
Of the proposed. distribution Of crosses
of honor on Memorial Day. The dis
tribution Of crosses comes through the
grand council Of the order, and the
crosses can be distributed only upon
properly filled out applications. The
local chapter sometime ago secured
forty application blanks, thinking these
would be sufficient for present uses.
All the blanks, however, have been ap-
piled for and. although requisition has
been made for more, 1t Is a question
as to whether they will be received in
time to get the crosses here on Me-
mortal Day. Under the regulations
of the U. D. c. organization crosses
can be presented only on the birthdays
of President Davis and General Lee,
and on Memorial Day. In case the ad-
ditional blanks called for do not arrive
in time, arrangements will be made
for another presentation at a later
date.
Postmaster Moore has received
from the Mckinley National Memorial
association limited supply Of the GER
tificates which have been prepared for
distribution to contributors to the

SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS.
St. Louis EXPOSITION.

Governor Hayward is writing to all
the members Of the legislature, asking
for an opinion on the appropriation for
an exhibition at the st. Louis exposi-
ton. This matter was not definitely
settled while the general assembly was
in session but the sentiment seemed to
be against 1t, owing to the expense
which the state would have to meet.
However. since Senator Tillman has
succeeded in securing 100000 owed
South Carolina by the United States
government the matter has been re-
vived with hope of creditable display
at the exposition. 1t would be good
advertisement and might attract a
very desirable class Of homeseekers to
cast their lot with us.

scribers generally would be subject to
annoyance through the hearing Of i'm
proper language. In the demurrer is
sued by the other side, it was stated
that sufficient facts had not been set
forth to show that the plaintiffs place
was disreputable and that the tele-
phone company was a common carrier,
thereby being compelled to serve the
public generally. Judge Klugh, how
ever, overruled the demurrer, and de-
cided that the business Of the plaintiff
was unlawful and that common car
riers were not forced to assist in the
t1ansacting Of unlawful business. AS
an example he cited the fact that the
railroads could not be forced to trans
port liquor used for unlawful purposes.
The decision Of the Judge now leaves
the case to be decided upon whether
or not the plaintiff Is running dis
reputable house, which the attorneys
deny, and testimony will be taken be-
fore the master on this matter.

merchant a check for more than dou-
BILE the amount of his indebtedness and
asked them to pay him the balance in
cash. This they readily did, having
every confidence in the lad from for
mer dealings with him. In this way
he obtained $140. He also induced

check Of $105 on the National bank OF
Gaffney, telling him thes same story

Correspondence OF the Yorkville ENQUIRER.
Rock HILL, April 30.-Several repre-
sentatives Of the Rock Hill Gun club
went down to Chester yesterday and
defeated representatives Of the Ches-
ter club in clay pigeon contest. The
score was 81 to 81, Mr.. j. E. Parker
making the best record, breaking 20
out of Is.
The Rock Hill folks were delighted
with the treatment accorded them, and
are highly complimentary In their re-
marks in regard to their entertain
ment. Such occasions are very help
full in prosecuting good and kind feel
ings between the two towns. The Gun
club will entertain the representatives
from the Chester club at an early day,
and while the score may be doubtful,
the visitors may bank on a royal re-
ception. Rock Hill folks appreciate
kindness like this, and enjoy showing
such hospitality and good will.

MISTAKES can be corrected only by
recognition and acknowledgement.
There is always hope for the man who
is willing to acknowledge mistake
after he has recognized it; but very
little hope for the fellow who is never
willing to concede that he may have
been wrong after he has been inwardly
convicted Of the fact.
