such general business as may come before it, the most important matter to be considered is the question of building a bridge across Catawba river. It is presumed that by this time the minds of the various members are made up and all are ready to vote. 'A Popular Couple. * Cards are out for the marriage of Miss Ella Crosby and Mr. John B. Ross. The ceremony is to take place at the Sharon A. R. P. church on April 14. Need More Room. Messrs. W. B. Moore & Co. have rented that portion of the T. M. Dobson lot which fronts on Main street, next to their store, and will use it as a place to keep tiling and other heavy goods which cannot be conveniently housed. That Southern Mall. No southern mail by way of the Carolina A Northwestern on Wednesday morning, none on Thursday morning, and none on Friday morning. The fault lies with the northbound Southern ; but that does not give the people living along the Narrow (rftnoB thoir mail. They Are Movers. On account of the weather, Messrs. Evans & Moxon have as yet been able to get in only a few full days' work on the Herndon building; but when the weather does give the workmen a chance, the walls move up with remarkable rapidity. Work is to be commenced on the Nichols property as soon as possible, and the big extension will be pushed to completion as rapidly as practicable. Must Be Transferred. The case of Wm. Sadler, charged with a murder committed near Grover, some months ago, was not tried at the present term of the court. Sadler was ready and anxious to go to trial; but on account of a provision in the act creating the new county of Cherokee, his case will have to be moved to the new county. The probability is that the case of Riddle vs. Reese, will also be removed to Cherokee under the provisions of the new county act. An Important Meeting. President Elder, of the York County Alliance, requests The Enquirer to give notice of an important meeting of the County Alliance to be held in York ville on Friday, the 9th instant. The special object ot the meeting is to take steps to secure the proper representation of the York County Alliance's stock in the state exchange. As matters now stand, the stock referred to is without legal representation, and it is highly important that every sub-Alliance, whether active or defunct, should send representation to the meeting to be held on the 9th instant. His Honor Put Them Out. The colored portion of the population was greatly interested last Tuesday ia the trial of John Young, a one-legged ^egro from Rock Hill, on the charge of soiling liquor. The evidence showed that Young was a go-between?the same as is young Ramsey, in another case. That is, Tf oung would take money from a customer, and after going off for a little while would return with liquor. The jury returned a verdict of "not guilty," and on the colored Bide of the courtroom there was an 1 outbreak of applause. His honor instant- 1 ly ordered that the side of the courtroom upon which the applause occurred, be cleared, and all the Negroes were pu^out. No arrests were made. BLACKSBURG BUDGET. Juror* Were Grateful?Colonel Camp's Commission?Mr. Green Gives Up the Inn and Mr. Freeman Takes ChargeContracts For the Building of the Railroad Signed. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. Blacksburg, April 1.?Those of our citizens who were drawn as jurors for the present term of court at Yorkville, i returned to their homes on Monday evening with light and grateful hearts and a high appreciation of Judge Ruch- ' anan's and Solicitor Henry's sense of justice. Colonel W. D. Camp received his commission as auditor of Cherokee county from Governor Ellerbe on yesterday, and will assume the duties of his office at once. While in Yorkville, a few days ?go, uo receiveu some vaiuauie lUMruclion from York's most efficient and clever auditor, for which he is very grateful. Abe Laney, a very respectable colored man, died suddenly on Wednesday, the 30th instant, while working in his garden near here. He was about 65 years old, and his death was probably the result of heart disease. It is with sincere regret that, as a faithful chronicler of events in Blacksburg, I must record the fact of the severance by Mr. A. H. Green, ol bis connection with Cheiokee Inn, which takes place this morning. When Mr. Green took charge of the Inn 011 January 1st, it was upon a conditional lease of three months or a year, if he so decided. The tirst term has expired, and he finds it more to his interest to return to Rock Hill than to remain here, although he had been quite successful in every respect in his management of the Inn. By a strict and never failing attention to every department of the house by his uuiform courtesy and kindness to his guests and patrons, and by his liberal and fair dealings with all, he has, during his brief stay, won the commendations and praises of the traveling public, and the highest esteem of all our citizens. Mr. M. M. Freeman will now take charge of the Inn, and his wellknown business capacity and reputation as a first class man in every respect, are full assurance that the splendid record of the house as a first class hostelry will be fully sustained. Nr. and Mrs. Seth Wilcox, of Ithaca, New York, leave for their home this morning. They will be accompanied, as far as Charleston, by their son, Mr. W. J. Wilcox, master mechanic of the O. R. <fc C. railroad. Their stay of over three months in Blacksburg has been pleasant and beneficial to them both, and they return to their home with delightful memories of our town and its citizens. ? They have made quite a number ol" good friends here they did not have before who will always remember them kindly and whose good wishes will go with them on their journey. The contracts for building the road from this place to (iaftney were all signed up yesterday. Mr. J. B. Ross gets all the grading to do, and Mr. P. T. Lemaster the trestles, bridges and culverts to build. It is not decided yet whether the bridge across Broad river will be of wood or iron. There is a very fine prospect of the road being extended to Spartanburg, in the near future. The cost of the work, it is estimated, from this place to Gaffney, will be about 365,000, ready for trains to run on it. Our graded school closed last week on account of lack of funds, much to the regret of all our citizens. w. a. SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS. A Bad Bungle. A bad bungle has been discovered in connection with the new dispensary law. The constitution of the state provides distinctly that no liquors shall be sold after sundown. The statute, however, permits tourists hotels to sell liquor either by day or by night. This brings about a direct conflict, and the governor has very prop erly advised the constables that it will be their duty to observe not the statute ; but the constitution. The Privilege Tax. Columbia Register, Saturday : A good indicatiou as to the cotton acreage of the state in any season can generally be had by examining the amount of privilege tax paid. Taking that as a basis, it may be predicted that one of the biggest crops in recent years is to be planted this year. From the state treasurer's book it is shown that the sum of $53,154.68 has been paid since Jauuary 1 to date. Last year, from November |1 to March 26, 1896, the amount was $47,725.37! Then the fiscal year began in November and calculations are made from that month. From November to Jauuary 1, 1896, the amount collected was about $3,000. This shows that the receipts from January 1, 1897, to date, exceed those for the same period last year by over $6,000. About $200 was received ou this account yesterday, but Clerk Zimmerman, who keeps the accounts, says that is quite a falling off, indicating that most of the purchases have been made. As all this goes to Clemson she won't have to worry about her income this year. Slap at the Dispensary Law. Judge Simonton has rendered another dispensary decision. It does not apply to the new law, however. In January, some constables seized some wines and other liquors that Wm. Beckroge, of Charleston, bought in Savannah and shipped to his own address in Charleston. The liquors were seized by the constables shortly after their arrival in the latter city. Beckroge had the constables arrested and brought suit against them for $6,000 damages. Assistant-Attorney General Townsend appeared before Judge Simonton recently and argued a motion to vacate the order of arrest. Judge Siraouton refuses the motion and gives bis reasons at length. He holds that as the supreme court of the United States had previously decided the provisions of the dispensary law under which the seizure was made null and void, the seizure was without warrant of law and the constables are responsible as individuals. The constables were released on bonds of $1,000 each, pending the hearing of the case on itB merits. The decision does not affect the dispensary law enacted at the recent session of the legislature, directly ; but it seems to forecast the fate of that law. The probability is that it will go by the board also. Judge Simonton has already heard argument in a case involving the validity of the new law, and his decision is likely to be delivered at any time. Striking at Cleveland.?During the discussion of the tariff bill on last Tuesday Mr. Mahoney (Rep. N. Y.) entered a protest against the continued effort of the Democracy to unload Grover Cleveland on the Republican party. It was a favorite accusation of the silver forces. "There is no amendment pending to place a tariff on Grover Cleveland," remarked Mr. Carmack (Dem. Tenu.) "No, but there should be a section in this bill to prevent Democratic industry from unloading him." (Republican applause), replied Mr. Mahoney.

Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work.
