Only indigestion.
Columbia Record: General Boyd was
back in his office today from Kings
Mountain looking as young and dapper
as ever and very much surprised that
report had been sent out from Co.
lumbia that he had suffered a severe
stroke Of apoplexy. He says he had
only a slight attack Of indigestion.
Like Senator Tillman, General Boyd
does not swear for publication, but he
made 1t very plain that he considered
being accused Of having suffered a
stroke Of apoplexy as .slander. He
spoke of 1t as Mark Twain referred to
J report Of Marks death, that the thing
had been greatly exaggerated.

Mr.. W. H. Hernion tells a Kings
Mountain tradition like this: The wife
Of Gilbert Enloe, who lived a few miles
from the battle-ground, was alone while
her husband was away, no doubt
fighting with the patriots. About
o'clock, q neighbor, who was Tory,
came galloping up to her home on
a horse that was foaming with sweat
and asked for something to eat. Mrs

how went the battle. He told her that
he did not know; but she replied: 81

a prominent and well-to-do farmer OF

injured at his ginnery this morning

Of the engine and he was whirle6
around the shafting, possibly several
hundred times before he was discov-
cred, and the engine stopped. When

broken and he was badly injured 9TH
erwise. Drs. Fennel and Stevens OF
this city were hurried to his home In

A Superior MoIasses Cane.
Mr. H. B. Gordon has left at The
Enquirer office a sample gallon Of mo-
lasses, with which he gives quite an
interesting history, it being made from
cane called the sugar drip, and which
so far as Mr.. Gordon knows, Is entirely
new to this section. II procured the
seed" said Mr. Gordon, from Messrs.
T. w. Wood & Sons, the we'll known
seedsmen Of Richmond, Va. Although
very much impressed with testimo-
malls had seen, did not care to ex-
pertinent too extensively at first and
bought only two ounces. These seed
were put out in such way as to save
every one that came up, and they were
sufficient to plant little patch that
was hardly more than forty feet square
The stalks grew large and high, with
unusually long joints, and last week
cut 1t and had Messrs. M. II. Jackson
and w. ]. Engle to make it into molas-
ses. All the tops were saved, and from
them I got two bushels and three pecks
Of seed, while the yield Of molasses
was twenty-five gallons. Messrs
Jackson & Engle say that 1t Is no
trouble to grind two loads Of this cane
with the same work that 1t takes to
grind only one load Of any other that
they have had experience with"
