road and the town is building up rapidly. The town has five dry goods stores, two drug stores, one hardware store, one millinery store, an ice house, high school with an attendance of 150 pupils, four churches, one sawmill and an up to date depot. Two daily passenger trains except Sunday and has four daily mails, four adjacent saw mills which will soon be in opera tion to ship lumber over this new road. The machinery has arrived for the new mills. We cannot see why New Edinburg won't make a city of the first class some day. This branch road would connect New Edinburg with the state capital, only two hours ride.

The ladies of the Civic League are

Presiding Elder Stackhouse Is to

There has been a marked absence
Of country people from the streets

A number of young men are anus

The millinery trade has been un-
usually good this season and continues
to hold up splendidly. AS a rule the
general stores that conduct millinery
departments consider the latter as a
side issue. The managers say they
give attention to millinery only be-
cause they are in a measure obliged
to. But it Is not so this year. All the
milliners have been and continue busy.
The Neely Manufacturing compa-
ny has commenced the brick work for
it's proposed addition, and Is erecting
four more cottages for operatives.
Rev. w. E. Hurt is building a cottage

The annual meeting Of the men,

in the club rooms last night. There
were twenty-one members present.
The meeting was called to order by
Mr.. o. E. Wilkins, the retiring pres

to elect officers for the ensuing year.
The result was as. follows: M. G. Will
lis, president; j. A. Latta, vice pres
ident; ]. C. Wilborn, secretary and
treasurer; w. B. Moore, Louis Roth,
]. F.. Thomson, w. l. Witherspoon,
Quinn Wallace, J. w. Miller, I. w.

Connell, board Of governors. The Sec
retary reported thirty three active
members, paying dues Of 81 a month
each, with $50 a month expense dur
ing the summer, and about S65 a
month during the winter. In view OF
this situation it appeared that the club
cannot exist much longer without in
creased membership, and it was de-
cided that a meeting Of the board OF
governors would be held next week to
see what can be done in the way OF
getting new members.

THE relatives and friends Of young
Theodore Estes, who was killed by
Judge w. G. Loving, in Virginia, the
other day, have succeeded in showing
up a state of facts very different from
those circulated by Judge Loving and
his friends Immediately after the kill
ing. Judge Loving's story, it will be
was to the effect that his
daughter came home from drive with
Estes, under the influence Of drugs
which he understood from her had
been given her by the young man, and
he was also led to believe that his
daughter had been assaulted. 1t now
appears that there was almost no truth
in any of this, except that Mrs. Loving
says that Estes did give her drink OF
whisky at her own request and that
she had told her father absolutely
nothing about the matter. The first
story had the young woman being
brought home late at night. AS
matter of fact the entire drive was in
day time, along thickly settled coun-
try roads that furnished no place for
a buggy to turn aside except into
somebody's yard and it has been es-
tablished that the two young people
were not out of their buggy from the
time they started until Miss Loving
was set down at her home. People ac-
quainted with the family understand
that Judge Loving is proud and high
tempered, has for years bitterly hated
and despised the Estes family and they
cannot account for the murder except
upon the theory that the judge was
impelled to do y simply out Of his un-
governable intolerance Of those he did
not like. The moral Of the whole af-
fair seems to be that it is just as well
for the public not to be too quick to
arrive at a verdict in these so-called
"unwritten law" cases. Many Of them
are merely the most brutal and un-
provoked murders, by perverts to
whom it would be a mercy to be al
lowed to exist in an asylum for the
criminal insane.

a Successful Life.

Mr.. A. B. Williams, the able editor
of the Richmond NewsLeader has
taken up the life of the. Rev. A. A.
James as an example of conspicuous
success and here is what he makes OF
it in a recent editorial:
Probably the energetic and enter
prising young citizens who get up
books with such titles as Our Sue
cessful Men" would overlook entire
ly the Rev. A. A. James, a Presby-
terian preacher down in South Car
olina, Of whom very few people have
heard. Yet his life has been about
the most completely and entirely
successful we know Of. In July he
will be eighty-three years old. He has
just received a call to the Second
Presbyterian church at Clinton, S. c.,
with offer of a good salary and good
parsonage, but declined it, preferring
to continue with the country churches
he is serving. Last Easter Sunday,
we read in the local newspapers, raw,
cold and with snow falling he drove
fourteen miles to meet an appoint
ment, and was not disheartened or
disappointed when he found that after
all his labor he had congregation OF
one.

these facts for those flippant people
who regard a clergyman as past his
usefulness at the age of sixty or so.
Here is man of eighty-three, vigor-
Gus, and cheerful, and hale, hearty,
so capable as preacher and pastor
that he is wanted in a new church.
Mr.. James has been in the ministry
ifty:six years. and during all that time
has been pastor among group OF
country churches which he has nOur-
ished and served. The one Interrupt
ton in his ministry was in the four
years Of the war, when he was chap
lain and won the deep respect and ten
der love of many hundreds of soldiers
with whom he served.
Duty thoroughly and Sweetly done
in peace and in war, faithful ministry
through generation after generation
of his people; answering every call,
regarding less Of fatigue or discom-
fort, cold, heat or rain: now at ripe
old age, thirteen years beyond the
allotted three score and ten, holding
the affectiOnate reverance and the
gratitude of his cOmmunity-cOuld a
life be more beautiful, more enviabe
or more successful? He is indenti-
fed in the minds of those with holiest,
the most cherished. the most sacred
incidents and periods of their lives.
He has planted good thoughts, arOus-
ed high impulses, taught truth, led
young and old to the service of God
and along the path to heaven. He
has been a present. stay and comfort
in times of the deepest sorrow and
the widest fear. He has given hope
to dying sinners, and his words ara
presence have gladdened the supreme
struggle humanity knows as the
righteous passed from life to reward.
He has baptized little children and
grandchildren. He is associated with
marriage and death and baptism, with
the rousing of souls to high and holy
aspirations and purposes. Could any
mother broOding over her infant son
wish for him higher or better work

RAILROAD NOTES.

The railroad people say that Train
Master Graham has made good; that
he has cleaned up all the derelict
freight within his jurisdiction, and
is moving in an orderly manner.
There is very little complaint about
the conduct Of affairs at the Southern
depot at Yorkville now. People are
able to get any reasonable information
that they ask for, and If they have
freight in the depot there is no trou-
BILE to learn about 1t.
General Manager Nichols was ask
ed again a few days ago about the
restoration of that train which proved
such a convenience last summer. He
said that he has not yet been able to
figure out how the train could be made
to pay; but he did not say that he
would not try to put it in operation
again.

College Of South Carolina, Charleston,
with the highest honors, being the first
woman to take such advanced stand
ing during the 1913 years of that in
stitution's history. At the time she
was highly complimented by Surgeon
General Wyman Of the United States
navy. Her standing entitled her to
the refusal Of the position of chief in
terne at the Roper hospital, Charles

NOTES FROM LESLIE.
Governor AnseI to Visit the Catawbas
Spring communion-Personal Men.
'ondence OF the Yorkville Enquirer.

Correspondence OF the Yurkvile Enquirer.
LESLIE, May 1.-The most interest
ing topic around now is the report
that Governor Ansel is to make Wis
it to the Catawba Indians during the
coming summer. In conversation with
a gentleman from here, who was in
Columbia recently. the governor said
that he hoped to visit the Catawbas in
order to become fully acquainted with
their present condition and to see for
himself the kind of land that they are
living on. The fact that the Indians
are at present trying to get final set
tement, will add all the more interest
to the governors proposed visit. In
case he comes this will be his nearest
railroad point and the people of Less
lie will do the honOrs on that occa-
sion.
The farmers are busy with cotton
planting. The recent cold weather did
not damage the crop to any extent
much to the relief of the planters.
The regular spring communion at
Neely's Creek church will be held on
the coming Sabbath. The pastor will
be assisted by the Rev. ]. Knox of
Columbia. Services will commence on
Friday and continue through Sabbath
The new church has only recently been
completed and many pronounce it the
handsOmest church in this part of the
country. 1t is probable that the
church will be dedicated in August
Mrs. Oliver Johnson, who has been
visiting relatives in WinnsbOro for

THE CONFEDERATE DEAD.

1t is the desire of The Enquirer to
print in it's issue of May 10th as COM
plete a list as possible Of the Con-
federate soldiers buried in the various
cemeteries Of York county.
Such a list was published in our is
sue of May 10, 1899. 1t included re-
ports from twenty-seven burying
places and numbered 5S2 names.
Since the publication Of the list re-
ferred to, quite a large number OF
veterans who were then in the land of
the living have crossed the river to
join their comrades in the great be-
yond and II the list can be completed
up to date, 1t may be Of Importance
some day.
Letters have been addressed to in
dividuals in various parts Of the coun-
ty with a view to correcting the lists
in the cases of the following ceme-
teries: Bethel, Bethesda, Allison
Creek, Fort Mill, Flint Hill, Smyrna,
Sharon, Rock Hill, Bullock's Creek,
Ebenezer, Beersheba, Neely's Creek
Union, Bethany. We are relying upon
the gentlemen addressed for the in
formatio desired.
We take the liberty Of asking peo-
pie in the different neighborhoods, to
send, US lists of the veterans buried
in the following cemeteries:
Olivet, Fowler's, New Bethel, Con-
cord, Blackstock, Canaan, Beth-Shi-
loh.
There are also no doubt, veterans
buried in other cemeteries not men
toned above and from which we have
made no provision to secure lists. We
shall appreciate volunteer lists from
these and all the assistance that may
be rendered generally to make this
work as complete and as satisfactory
as possible.

- Charlottesville, Va, May l: Little
by little important facts in the Low
ing Estes case are leaking out. The
most recent disclosure comes through
an indiscreet letter said to have been
written by Miss Elizabeth Loving to
a girl friend in this county last week.
The letter, it is said, declares the
writer's amaZement at her fathers act
and fully exonerates Theodore Estes.
Miss Loving, it is said, defends the
memory Of the victim to the extent OF
testifying that he always treated her
with courtesy and consideration. 1t
was because of a real or fancied wrong
to his daughter that Judge Loving shot
and killed young Estes. Since the
tragedy, Judge Loving and his family
have lived in seclusion, and no state
ment from them or about them has
reached the outside world until this
letter, which, If authentic, discloses the
extreme unhappiness of the entire
family circle. 1t is alleged that Miss
Loving used the word ''craZed" as de-
scriptive of their mental and nervous
condition. 1t is. alleged by some per-
sons in Nelson county that Judge Low
ing always opposed social relations be-
tween his family and that Of Sherin
Estes, and that the mere fact OF his
daughters having gone for drive
with Theodore Estes was sufficient to
excite him greatly. Judge Loving Is
not noted for an even temper, and 1t
is said that his daughter was the only
person who could manage him during
his gusts of passion. A Nelson county
man familiar with all the social and
political currents there this morning
expressed the belief that it would be
impossible to try the case at Lovings-
ton. Feeling Is said to be running
high in that county and to be aggra-
waited by family and political antip-
athies The case may be removed to
Charlottesville.
