Battle of Kings Mountain.
Columbia Record, Tuesday: Gov
ernor Hayward has received number
Of requests and letters asking that
there be some official action taken In
regard to the celebration Of the 125th
anniversary Of the battle Of Kings
Mountain, which occurs this year. The
idea was first suggested by resident
of Pennsylvania, and has been taken
up by all Of the patriotic societies OF
the state, with the result that some
appropriate exercises will take place.
Governor Hayward will do all In his
power to aid the celebration, but there
are no funds on hand with which to
call for any official action by the state.
Change Of Schedule.
Quite an important change Of sched-
ule will go into effect on the c. & NJ
w. next Sunday. The fastest schedule
on this road heretofore, was about 35
miles an hour; but the new schedule
will break all records in this respect,
making the distance from Lenoir to
Chester, 40 miles, in five hours, or
at the rate Of about 40 miles an hour
including all stops. The northbound
train will pass Yorkville at 1913 a. m,
and the southbound at 7.22 p. m. The
special object Of the new schedule is
to ensure close schedule connection
with the Seaboard Air Line at Lin
colnton, and the northbound Southern
at Chester at 500 p. m. There will be
no change in the connections at Gasto-
MIA in so far as Yorkville is concern
ed; but there will be very decided
improvement in the present mail and
passenger connections for the north.
Rains in Bethel.
Messrs. w. P. Boyd and B. ]. Cur
renee Of the Point section, were In
Yorkville yesterday on business. Mr..
Boyd informed the reporter that the
crop situation in Bethel township was
not so favorable as the readers Of The
ENQUIRER would be led to infer from
what had been printed on the subject.
The: western side of the township has
been faring very nicely; but In his I'M
mediate neighborhood there has hsrdly
been a good plow season since the 24th
of March last. Bottom land cora Is
doing nicely, and cotton is also looking
fairly we'll considering the unusually
trying conditions; but the farmers are
rather blue over the situation. II they
get good rains soon they will yet be In
pretty good shape; but just now 1t
looks as II the effects Of the long con-
tinued drought will be very serious.
