Reward for Murderer.
Acting upon petition signed by q
number Of operatives Of the York Cot
ton mill and other people of the vi
cinity, Governor Blease has offered 9
reward of SIS for the arrest and con-
viction Of the unknown party who as
sassinated Sam Smith, the negro
watchman at the mill on the night OF
March 8. There Is pretty genera
impression as to the identity Of the
murderer and this impression Is based
upon certain damaging facts and cir.
cumstances; but so far as Is known
the officers Of the law are still lacking
in information that would warrant
them In making an arrest.
Interesting Railroad Rumor.
Lenoir News: The purchase Of the
Linville River railroad, by the Eas
Tennessee and Western North Caroline
Railway company, may have much Of
Significance In 1t to this part Of the
country. The little line that has beer
bought was originally a logging roat
and now that the timber is all cut, the
usefulness Of the line for that purpose
has passed. The new owners evident.
ly expect to make something more
than logging road out of 1t and a,
they are widening the gauge Of the
entire line, 1t is reasonable to suppose
that they eventually intend to come or
to Edgemont and connection with
the Carolina and North Western.
Alleged Violation of Quarantine.
Mr.. B. N. Moore, OF Yorkville has beer
reported to the United States grand
jury at Greenville for alleged violation
Of the cattle quarantine and will have
to go over to Greenville to make ex.
PLANTATION. The facts in the case are
about like this: Mr.. Moore's brother
Mr.. T. p. Moore, moved to Charlotte In
January and left his milk cow at Mr.
B. N. Moore's to be shipped later on
Before shipping the animal. Mr.. B. N
Moore made inquiry at Clemson as tc
the law and was advised that an in.
spector would be along shortly. After
waiting a reasonable length Of time
and the insector failing to appear Mr.
Moore made inquiry of the railroad
authorities, and was advised that the
quarantine regulations applied only t
the territory south Of the G, G. & A. di.
vision Of the Southern railroad, ant
the cow was shipped. Shortly after.
ward DR.. Fay, Of the bureau Of anima
industry came to Yorkville to inspect
the cow, and on finding that the ami.
NAL had been shipped from a point
south of The Marion and Kingville di
vision Of the Southern, which line ht
held to be the one meant in the regula.
tions, made complaint. AS a matter ol
fact the cow in question came original
ly from point less than 200 yards
south Of the Marion and Kingville d.
vision of the Southern railroad, which
Ipoint Is several miles north Of the
most southerly dip in said line through
the county. 1t is not understood, how
ever that any question Is to be raised
along this line. Mr.. Moore will prob
ably state to the district attorney thai
II he has violated the quarantine Law
even technically, said violation was
unintentional. and considerable dill.
gence had been exercised in getting al
the exact status Of the regulations
Next time anything like that comes
up" laughingiy said Mr.. Moore yester.
day, I'll buy the COW on this side Of
the line, and send the friend on the
other side the money with which tc
buy cow over there" Mr.. Moore Il
being subjected to considerable guyins
by his friends on account Of the com.
plications he has gotten into; but has
been managing to hold his own pretty
WELL although he does not deny that he
is willing to drop the whole matter
right where it is If Uncle Sam is will
