FEELING convinced that certain un.-
pleasant statements it has made
against The Yorkville Enquirer from
time TO time have been based upon in
correct information, the Rock Hill Rec
ord has seen proper to say so. AL
though we cannot say that we appre-
ciated the unpleasant statements re-
ferred to, still we had an idea that
the Record was laboring under misap-
prehension, and while not at all sur
prised to see that it has been moved
to make the "amende honorable" we
are no less gratified at the fact.

WHILE down in Charleston the other
day, the editor of The Enquirer was
the guest of the editor of the News and
Courier at the baseball game between
Charleston and Savannah. Before the
game progressed beyond the I'd inning
the editor of The Enquirer received
from the editor of the News and Cour-
ier a note reading like this:

conclusion of the game, the editor of
The Enquirer was unable to carry out
the assignment. The next morning,
however. The News and Courier had
the following editorial note, which
comes very near to meeting the ideas
of The Enquirer on the subject:

players look in their white clothes?
The difference between the two games
is that the grass gang is really a use

- The city authorities of Charleston
for several months past have been
making determined fight on money
lending establishments in that city,
which do business with ignorant white
people and negroes at usurious inter-
est rates. The city council passed an
ordinance making the license Of such
places $1,000 per annum. The money
lenders refused To pay the license and
undertook to fight the matter in the
courts The city sheriff last Friday
closed up nine of the establishments.
which will be held for the payment of
the $1,000 license fees and 5000 penal
ties on each. Some Of the places eX-
torted as much as so per cent interest
per month on small loans.

spook- hunting is the latest society," craze. Now that Tout Londres" has gone north for mountain air and grouse shooting, or sought rest and quiet in ancient country houses. the haunted grange" is iii great request as a. vaca- tion home.
 The new game has the interest of psychological research without too much abstruse science about 1t. All 1t requires is much patience and strong nerves. The spoox hunter occupies the haunted chamber at nights, lies awake, and waits for the manifestations. What he sees and hears he then reports in full detail to the other people. engaged in the sport
 Country houses more frequently pro- vide spooks than do London houses; where indeed the majority of the ghosts seen are faked manifestations at ''se- ances." But in many old historic man. sions in the remote 'districts-especial- ly in Soctland--there are apparitIons galore. The English Lake district is said to be haunted Dy '.myriads of ghosts" and some of the best-known haunted houses are Berry, Pomeroy Castle in Devonshire, Fowls Castle Cullaby Castle, Bisham Abbey, ouIton House and Ashley Hall. Many of the haunted castles are rented by Ameri- cans. who have taken up the new amusement of spook hunting with en- thusiasm.

FIRST sEA-CYCLisT.

John/ H. Mitchell Pedals by water
 From COney to sandy Hook. New York American.
 The first 'water-cyclist" to venture upon the Atlantic Ocean started out yesterday from Dreamland, Coney Is- land. bound for Long Branch, N. J., and, while thousands thronged the beach to watch him. went through a novel experience, which ended in his being lowed ashore off Sandy Hook
 John H. Mitchell of No 615 West One Hundred and Thirty-ffth. street, was the hardy navigator. His weird looking craft is composed of three cigar shaped catamarans and is pro- pelled by the riders feet, like a bi- cycle.
 Mitchell was handicapped by a strong tide and an inshore wind. but he bravely battled against both. and showed tricycle. seamanship by tack ing about and crossing the currents obliquely. For an hour he pedalled away. heading toward RocKaway Point. After getting near thLs goal he veered and again cut across the currents. this time the wind sweep ing him on the side. After two hours the thousands of watchers saw only a little black dot far away and then a mist enveloped the daring cyclist. who has announced his intention of riding on his freak vessel to the Jamestown Exposition.
 Of Sandy Hook Mitchell seemed in trouble and Captain Woody of the life saving station put out in a launch and lowed the man ashore. The water tri- cycle was stored with Captain Mead at the Dewey House, Highlands of the Navesink, and Mitchell took train for Long Branch. He will return this morning and resume his trip by water.
 Those who witnessed the feat de- clare the unique craft to be a sue cess. It navigated the choppy sea spIendidIy. and did not careen to any appreciable extent. Mitchell did not use his leg of-mutton sail yesterday, as the wind was unfavorable.

 This increase was still more pro- nounced in anaemic persons tn whom the red corpuscles after few jays of motoring are sometimes doubled The iron which Is usually given to anae- mic persons. does not act either so quickly or so surely.
 Mir. Mouneyrat also states that mo- toring is of great value to consump- tives in whom the disease is not yet advanced, and in whom the impover- ished blood makes the lungs an easy prey to the bacilli of the disease The motoring exercise enriches the blood and fills the lungs with oxygen. while the appetite increases, the process of thinning is stopped. and the cough ceases and the strength returns.
 Kings As Gardeners.
 Kings. like ordinary mortals, are very fond of gardens and gardening. The German Emperor, who IS an en- thusiastic gardener. is fond, as one might expect from his character of of plants that grow quickly, while the practical bent of his mind gives him a special taste for kitchen gardens
 The King of Italy who Is also an ardent and lively Monarch, Is very fond of annual plants which are not very long in growing. and the rooms of his private apartments are always filled with vases of these. King Vic tor Emmanuel is particularly fond of walking about in the gardens of the Quirinal, watering with his own royal hand his favorite blooms.
 King Edward VII is, as is well known, an adorer of flowers, and there is at Sandringham waterfoll and a shrubbery of rare plants which he himself planted, while his majesty, had he not been a sovereign, might have earned no bad living as landscape gardener, such skill and taste has he in laying out gardens and parterres.
 Queen Wilhelmina is specially de- voted to rare blooms, and when she became engaged, unique flower, the only one of it's kind, in Europe, and the pride of the royal conservatories, was the gage of love offered to the Prince Consort
 The late King of Denmark, though he liked flowers, preferred the aspect of a bountiful umbrageous park. The late Shah of Persia had Somewhat sim liar tastes and only a few days be- fore his death was examining some plans for the making of a wonderful garden on the royal estate.
 King Leopold shows a preference, which is not unnatural, in the King of the Flemsh, for bulbous plants tulips, hyacinths and such like. As for M. Fallieres, his favorite plant is the vine. which is not unnatural, see- ing that his vineyards in Gascony 1 made him a wealthy man.

The unclad life for children, as rec commended by Professor Starr, of Chi cago University, is indorsed in prln- ciple by eminent Englishmen. both from a hygienic and an artistic point of view.

Hntn For I.orres.

The fashion of covering horses heads in summer is in great cities quite a recent growth. but already it has be- come matter of fashion. and these fashions change every year as do those of the ladies.
 What was originally simply meas ure of precaution and sanitation, since the horse is very sensitive to the suns rays has now become the question of coquettery
 The first idea in Doboin's head gear was the somewhat bourgeois fashion of a poke straw bonnet. with openings for the two ears. Then came the gid of geegee's head like the tilt of sumer girl at the seaside. After that came a more picturesque fashion-a kind of little jockey cap with tassels in the Italian style cov- ering the temples and keeping off the flies while leaving the ears free.
 The latest fashion this year is a lit- tie parasol solidly fixed to the har- ness which shelters the horses head. But a point to mark is this, that the color of the parasol must match the color of the dress of the ladies riding in the carriages. The "clocho" for horses Is quite dead.
 Preserving Flesh.
 The scientific and medical world is greatly interested in the discovery of a young blacksmith of Rome to pre- serve corpses fresh and intact. The system is the injection of serum which kills the micro-organisms of putre- faction.
 It is said to be the secret of the in- vention many years ago for the same purpose of Gero1amo Segato. which had since been lost The inventor is young man named Dignotti. 23 years of age, and his hope is that from this discovery he may push on his re- searches and succeed in curing certain diseases by injecting his serum into the living subject.
 It has already been injected into liv- ing animals without causing them any or disorder of the organ ism, while a corpse which was Inocu- lated with the concoction was found ten days later in exactly the same con- dition as at the moment, of death.

 The inhabitants of the Rue d'Haute- vile. in the centre of Paris, were in the very early hours of the by piercing shrioks coming from one of the houses. ..
 It was found that a young woman named Josephine Fercier had suddenly become demented. She rushed down the staircase of the house where she t4Neus ShIAShAASt must SNfS HAdhSSt must save France, in the name of the Sacred Heart"
 Then she walked into the courtyard and gathered together a number of bundles of firewood. These she sot light to. and standing in the middle of the flame she screamed, T am Joan of Are"
 Before the poor creature could be saved she had burned herself fatally.
 Autos as Medicine.
 It has been discovered that the reg ular practice of automobilism can cure anaemia. According to Dr. Mouneyyat, has 8 very beneficial ef- feet on the organism, and especially upon the blood. if practiced in reason and not to excess.
 Tnus, Dr.. Mouneyrat says that a
