WITHIN THE TOWN.

= The teacher students in attend
ance on the Catawba Summer school
are to be entertained at the CONNER
cial club next Friday night. ..
- Thirty-two Of about forty qualified
voters at the York Cotton mill have
signed the petition asking for an cleo
ton on the question of removing the
dispensary. .... ......
= The Yorkville Monument Works
has secured location on the Southern
railroad within a short distance of
the depot, and will very shortly COM
mence the erection of the buildings
necessary for its business. The plac-
ing of machinery will be commenced
within the next few weeks.
- The Bedford Telephone company
has been consolidated with the Pied
mont Telephone and Telegraph COM
pany, which now owns all the ex-
changes in York, Cherokee, Cleveland,
CASTOR and perhaps several other ad-
joining counties. We understand that
the Piedmont company Is In close re-
lationship with the Southern Bell; but
as to whether actually owned and con-
trolled by the Southern Bell, we are
unable to say. ...,
1t Is now practically certain that
all the people on both sides Of Congress
street from Madison street to Jefferson
street will cooperate in the granolithic
paving movement. There Is a strong
sentiment in favor Of paving East JEFF
ferson street at least from the ]. M.
Heath & Co., corner to the c. & NV.
depot; but as yet all the property
owners have not come into the ar
rangemeTlt. This work, however. IL not
done now, will no doubt be done later
on, and quite possibly by local con-
tractors at less cost. f
- The case Of the two negro insur7
ance agents who were arrested last
week on the charge of soliciting insur-
ance without first having obtained a
license to do So was tried before May
or Lowry yesterday. Congressman
Finley appeared for the agents and G..
w. s. Hart. Esq, for the town. Mr..
Finley showed that within the mean
ing of the statute, the company repre-
sented by the agents was purely a
fraternal organization, and not liable
to license taxes. The mayor upheld
this contention and the case was dis
missed.
The location committee Of the
board of trustees Of the Presbyterian
College of South Carolina was in
Yorkville last week to look into the
merits of the proposition that was re-
Gently made by Yorkville people, look
ing to the location of the college in
this place. The position Of the COM
mittee was to the effect that 1t desir-
ed to find the most advantageous To-
cation for the college to be had In the
state and the most advantageous terms.
1t was open to subscriptions In any
amount from anywhere, and would be
glad to have first unconditional sub
scriptions In whatever amount the
subscribers might see proper to make,
and second II would receive subscrip-
tions conditioned on the location Of the
college In the town designated by the
subscribers. At the proper time, with
all subscriptions and proposals In, the
trustees would locate the college as 1t
saw proper. It has been suggested
that there may be many people In this
county outside of Yorkville who might
desire to make subscriptions, either
Internationally, or conditioned upon
the location of the college In this town.
