/ - The Kings Mountain chapter OF
the Daughters of the American ReVo-
luton has done itself proud in the en-
tertainment of the state conference OF
that order this week. Though not the
most exclusive perhaps, the d. A. X. Is
easily the most representative and dis
tinguished woman's organization In
South Carolina. 1t includes among Its
membership a large per centage OF
distinguished members Of distinguished
families, and its average Of wealth, cul-
ture and intellect is high. Its repre-
sentatives also are women who are
acquainted with and accustomed to all
that Is best and highest In the social
Development Of the state. The cred
liable entertainment of people OF this
kind calls for thorough acquaintance
and familiarity with requirements OF
good usage. and it is an open secret
that all of the visitors are thoroughly
delighted. They have said so and
not a few of them are disposed to en-
phasize the fact that the present con-
ference has been even more successful
and enjoyable than any of the thor
oughly successful and enjoyable confer
ences that have gone before. The
Kings Mountain chapter is getting a
large share of the praise.

one power station, but two, capable Of
producing between $4,000 and $4,000
horse power of electrical energy. With
that already on the market, this would
give the Southern Power company the
control of approximately 100000 by
January 1st, 1908.
When work was commenced on the
Great Falls station last year, portion
of the current generated there was in
! tended to be transmitted to the mills
about Gaffney, Blacksburg, Spartan
burg and Greenville, s. C. The demand
of the mills about Rock Hill, S. c., Gas
tonia and Charlotte, however, were so
| insistent that practically all OF the
current was disposed of there. In or
der then to satisfy the demands of the
mills about Spartanburg, Carney and
!Greenyille. s. c., II was decided to be-
gin the development Of the power at
Ninety-Nine Islands. six miles from
Blacksburg and about thirty-three
from Spartanburg.
| The plans and specifications for the
work there have already been drawn.
Some Of the contracts for the machin-
cry will be let within thirty days. The
building of the tenant houses for the
workers and the clearing away Of the
land will be begun at once. The $4,000
of electrical horse power which will be
generated at that plant will go to sup
ply the needs Of the mills in the ada
cent cities.
The power which Is to be developed
on the Catawba, two miles below the
Great Falls station house, and which
will be known as the Rocky Creek pow
er, will produce 10000 horsepower
Transmission lines will connect this
station with one just above 1t, and the
current will be carried to the distribut-
Ing center at the Catawba station, near
Rock Hill, S. c. Power will be sup
piled the mills in Chester. Lancaster
Union, s. c., and elsewhere In the ter
ritory where needed.
The work on the Rocky Creek power
has already commenced. A quantity OF
material has been moved from the
Great Falls station and the erection OF
| the store houses, tenant houses, etc.
will commence at once. The clearing
of the stream and the work Of prepa-
ration for the actual development Is
already under way.

may go Democratic in next Tuesdays

The New Railroad.

Kings Mountain Herald: We are
told that the corps of engineers are
again going over the road recently sur
veyed between Buffalo creek and the
mountain ridge a few miles south OF
this place for the purpose Of making
the best location should this route be
chosen by the company. The line out
to Buffalo and from the mountain be-
low here to Catawba Junction has been,
settled upon and the span between the
creek and the mountain is now being
gone over again. This time the line is
getting little farther away from Bea-
son creek and up higher on the ridge.
nearer with the public road. While
there is no telling by the public where
this line of railroad win run, yet our
promise seems to be very good for the
road. We hope we are in the compa-
ny's line and that they will see 1t to
their interest to come this way. How
ever. we will not build highly on this
yet, for disappointment may come.

this afternoon with q verdict Of guilty
as to both defendants, with recon-
mendation to mercy, The jury was
out one hour and twenty-five minutes.
1t is expected that the case viii be
appealed. It was an unusual and re-
markable case and the trial was also
remarkable. There has been q mys-
terry surrounding the killing and the
trial has failed to throw light on 1t,

all the testimony the impression re-
mains that all has not yet been told.
Four arguments were made today. 81.

Welsh followed in defence Of Spivens,
then L. D. Jennings in defence OF NC
Coomer, and Solicitor Wilson closed
for the state. Mr.. Walsh contended
that Spivens was innocent and that
McCoomer was guilty. Mr.. Jennings
took the ground that McCoomer was
innocent and that Spivens fired the ia
tai shot. Solicitor Wilson argued that
the evidence showed that McCoomer
shot Gaillard, and that he was acting
or the orders Of Spivens when he did
So The jury seems to have taken the
same view as the solicitor, but the rec
ommendation to mercy appears to IN
dicate that the verdict was the result
of a compromise.

Corn Shocking.

There was an old time corn shucking
at the home of Mr.. T. ]. Nichols about
six miles northeast Of Yorkville last
Wednesday night. Quite a large num-
Der of shuckers had been invited, in
cluding numerous ladies. The shuck-
ing commenced in the afternoon and
although the corn pile included some
seven or eight hundred bushels the
work was finished in the early evening.
Then there was a splendid supper.
There was pork, mutton, chicken, tur-
nips, potatoes, everything that was
good 1t was a great occasion to all
the participants.

Let every good citizen go to the
polls next Tuesday with his registra-
ton certificate and tax receipt and
vote. 1t Is not essential that votes be
cast for state and county officers. 1t
Is better so, of course. But by all
means let everybody vote for congress.
We will have to take 1t back about
the treasurer being required to canvass
the county for the collection Of taxes.
York county, 1t seems, is exempt from
such a requirement, and Treasurer
Neely makes the rounds voluntarily,
purely as a matter of convenience to
the taxpayers.
A number of prominent citizens OF
Bethel township have begun to talk up
the idea of levying a special tax for
road building purposes. Some are out
spoken in advocacy of the issuance of
township bonds in sufficient amount to
do the work in first-class style and at
once. Bethel is not now paying any
special tax of any kind, and she Is In

Then the whites also began importing
arms and ammunition. Trouble fol-
lowed as a matter Of course. A white
man was shot at and wounded from
ambush and several negroes have been
more or less seriously injured. The
secret organization idea is always dan

IRON, DOMINATING POWER -"rhat
country or that section which can
produce iron at the lowest cost Will
dominate the trade and commerce OF
the world. was one of the well found
ed theories of the late Edward At
kinson, and on this he based one NJ
his arguments in favor of the mar
velous wealth of the south In coming
years. The south holds this vantage
ground. It can produce iron at a lower
cost than any other country, and 1t is
destined, as Mr.. Abram s. Hewitt pre-
dicted, to dominate the basic-steel
industry of the World" What vast
wealth this means. what millions and

to the riches of this section through

Correspondence OF the Yorkville Enquirer.
Please allow me to correct a few
slight inaccuracies in your kind no
tice of the missionary rally at Bethany
last Saturday. 1t was not joint
meeting Of the young people OF the
three churches Of my charge, but OF
Bethany only. The three congrega-
tions are not working for the partial,
but the entire support Of foreign
missionary, and have succeeded this
year as we did last year. The contrl-
button of the Bethany young people In
the shape of cotton and money
amounted to $67.9S. The report from
the missionary cotton raised by the
young people of Crowder's Creek show
ed a good bale from which was realized
S57.75. The total from all sources In
the three congregations was $500.
The day at Bethany was spent very
pleasantly. Bro. Ewart gave us an
eloquent and timely address. The din
ner was bountiful, and the crowd as
large perhaps as could be expected In
view of the exceedingly busy time
with farmers. Sincerely, q"
