THE ENQUIRER has information to
the effect that, there is every reasona-
BILE probability OF the establishment of
a large furniture factory In this town
at an early day. The enterprise iB to
be- launched by a corporation to In
clude about dozen members and Is
to have not less than. $4,000 capital.
It is probable that more definite In
formation will be available within a.

town, without having to contribute to
any OF the municipal expenses. Inas.7
much, however, as the proposed ordi-.

it ought not to be difficult to devise

About 100 people mostly ladies,
gathered in the; court house last Fri!
day afternoon to attend the sofa pill
low sale, advertised to take place un-
der the auspices Of the Women's For
eign Missionary society Of Trinity n.
E. church. Quite q large number Of
beautiful pillows were offered at auc-
tion; but only few of them brought
anything like their value, prices rang
ing from 25 cents to about $1.60. Many
Of the pillows contained more than 81
worth Of. material. The slow sales
were due very probably to the absence
Of male, buyers. In several cases the
ladies got up some lively competition
among themselves and made certain,
Of the pillows bring pretty nearly aa
much as they were worth; but this
was hardly: the rule. Although WE'LL
planned and creditably carried out In.
all its details, the sale did not meet.

- The Trip to the Moon company ap-
peared at the opera house Monday
night, according to advance announce
ment; but under slightly disadvanta-
geous circumstances. The freight train
which was the company's only depend
ence from Chester, was several hours
late. and the preparations for the play
were necessarily hurried and unsatc
isfactory. The audience was not large;
but it included O number Of regular
play-goers who are. competent to judge
the comparative merits Of the enter
ion that they got full value for their
money. The entertainment consists Of
singing, dancing and high-class vau-
deville, without Objectionable features.
Some wonderful bicgraph scenes are
produced, and these are by far the
finest seen here. The company, as will
be seen by the announcement else-5
where will give another entertainment
this (Tuesday) evening. Considering
the excellence Of the show and the low
price for admission, they are deserving
Of full house.
THE ENQUIRER would not be under.
stood as encouraging tit for tat poll
Icy among the people OF Yorkville.
This thing Of getting even makes no.
end Of trouble. People cannot often be
forced to do things they do not want
to do-that Is self-respecting people
cannot be forced. But nevertheless.
facts are facts, and there are charace-
teristics of human nature that cannot
be changed easily. The disposition to
retaliate against injustice Is natural
and widespread. AS in most other
things there is an exorable logic Of pri-
vate patronage. The thing puts to the
test the finest essence of fellow-feel-
ing, and the laws involved are clear
enough to be distinguished by any In
dividual Of average intelligence. People
sometimes violate these laws wilfully
Just as they violate other laws, and
as is the case in the violation Of other
laws, there Is generally penalty. The
plain wording of the law referred to Is,
not to withhold from your neighbor
the first opportunity to secure your
patronage and do not go abroad for
any article or commodity that can be
secured to as good advantage at
home. ~
The Carolina and North Western
people are seriously embar-
j
town council to allow them necessary
switching room at the Liberty street
crossing. The depot building stands
within about 20 feet Of the. sidewalk
curbing and the platform at which
freight Is to be unloaded begins about
20 feet further back. In the days OF
the little narrow gauge train, which
could approach almost any corner that
could be approached by a dray wagon,
1t was not difficult to run up along
side Of the platform over q siding be-
ginning at the sidewalk; but with the
standard gauge cars the problem Is DIFF
ferent. In order to approach the plat
form at the desired point, it Is neces-
sary to leave the main track at point
on the south side of the street and
cross the street with four rails. Gen.
eral Manager Nichols made a request
Of the council to be allowed to do this,
and along with the request, he made
promise that If the request should be
granted, he would put the crossing IN
condition, filling the space be-
tween the rails with stone or timber and
allowing only the tops to show above
he surface. The council took the mat
ter under consideration at a meeting
last week, and upon vote 1t developed
hat two members were favorable, two
we're opposed and one was non-com-
initial. This left the mayor to cast the
deciding vote and he refused the re-
luest. The reporter has not been ad-
iised as to the reasons governing the
actions of the different members or the
council, and unless the council sees
proper at some future time to recon-
slider its action the railroad people will
