~ J / / most desirable to fill in up to the top of the first row of benches all along, or to fill to the top of the structure for a certain distance on either side of the creek, the idea in either case being to get rid of as much of the timber work as possible. That the whole trestle, however, will give place to a fill is not at all probable. PhtlipHteln & Co. Turned Down. In the United States circuit court at Charleston, last Monday, Judge Simon-' ton lauded down a decision dismissing the bill of complaint dissolving the injunction in the case of A. Philipstein A Co., of New York, against the Standard Cotton mills of Rock Hill et. al. The complainants recently filed a bill for the appoiutment of a receiver for the mill, alleging inability of the mills to meet their obligations. To Build the O. R. & C. The talk of completing the O. R. & C. railroad shown no indication of subsidence. The reporter was told a few days ago by a gentleman who says he has just returned from the territory referred to, that an engineer corps has been over the line and completed the location from Marion, N. C., to the Ohio river. He thinks that there is every reason to believe that work will be commenced all along the line within a very short time. He also says that a strong effort is being made to awaken renewed interest in the Augusta division of the O. R. <ft C. Willie D. Upahaw. Willie D. Upshaw?"Earnest Willie"? came to Yorkville Saturday afternoon and remained until yesterday, making a j talk to the Sunday schools of the town at j the Associate Reformed church on Sun- j day afternoon and giving a literary entertainment in the courthouse Monday night. | The church was crowded, and there wasi a good turnout at the lecture; not so j many, however, as there would have been ( had the weather not been so threatening. The entertainment consisted of readings and recitations, and was greatly enjoyed by all present. The receipts were quite satisfactory, and Dr. M. W. White, under whose auspices Earnest Willie made the visit here, is entitled to general thanks for his happily conceived effort. , Ersklne'a Catalogue. The annual catalogue of Erskine col- , lege for 1896-97 has just been issued. It has its usual steel gray covering and substantial appearance. The interior con- , tains much valuable information. Cuts of the main building, of the college home and the balls of the two literary societies , grace the three first pages. Following this is the permanent college caleudar, ( the names of the board of trustees, the ( faculty and officers of the college. The requirements for admission are clearly set forth and the course of study pursued ( in each of the four years stated. The expenses of the college are summarized and , shown to be rather small. There is so in fKo nofolncrnfi Ill UCU Uilltl WIUWU1CU 111 mu that it would be hard to briefly give an adequate idea to the young men coutem- j plating a college career. ( BLACKSBURG BUDGET. , Work on the Gafiney Extension?Mr. Free- J man Has His Commission?Sheriff Ross ' i Moves to Gaflney?The Accident to Con- 1 doctor McClure. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. Blacksburg, May 25.?The first trestle ' built on the new branch of the 0. R. tfc C. road from this place to Gaflney, not far 1 from the 0. R. <fc C. depot, was finished I' last week, and the putting'in of others'!1 together with the building of culverts, is!' going rapidly forward. The company ' will begin laying track in a very short i time, so that they can carry the material < for future work by rail, as the road is ] built. Mr. Tom Lemaster, who has the con- 1 tract for building the culverts and tres- < ties, has developed a large quarry of fine I granite on a part the.old McCosh place, ? near here, which is owned by Mr. Alexander, of Rock Hill. Its proximity to ( both the Southern and the G. R. <fc C. \ road, and its character as fine building j material, will make it very valuable. j Mr. M. M. Freeman, our newly ap- y pointed postmaster, has received his com- | mission and will, I suppose, enter upon ! the duties of his office as soon as he can ' make all necessary arrangements. Mrs. Barbara Hill, wife of Dr. L. A. 1 Hill, of Mississippi, who was a Whiso- 1 nant and raised near Antioch church, is visiting relatives and friends around her 1 old home.

R. & f* mot with a vflrv nainful. and nearly fatal accident on Saturday last. Just after his train left Newport, and was running at the rate of 40 miles an hour, he started lrom the cab to the engine, to give his engineer some instructions, and while stepping from the ladder of a box car, which he had just climbed down to the hat car, at a slight curve in the road, the train gave a sudden lurch, the flat car * was jerked forward to the full extent allowed by the coupling, Mr. McLure lost his footing and was thrown with great violence to the ground. His left shoulder was dislocated, he was very badly bruised all over, and rendered unconscious for 8 or 10 hours. Fortunately he was on the outside of the cars and received no injury from the wheels. A farmer at work in a field near the road witnessed the accident, and went immediately to Mr. McLure's help. A few minutes afterwards, an extra came along, going to Rock Hill. The farmer flagged it down and he was carried to Rock Hill where Drs. Crawford and Strait atteuded to him. He recovered consciousness about 12 o'clock Saturday night, and was brought home on a special, Sunday afternoon. Though still suffering from his bruises, he is getting along very well. Our new sheriff, Mr. J. 11. Ross, finds that he will be compelled to live at the county seat, and will move his family to (iaffney this week. Mr. J. M. Guyton is visiting his aged mother in Anderson county, who is quite ill and not expected to live. The air is still quite cool, and vegetation, especially the cotton plant, has not grown ofl' very vigorously. \v. a. DOWN AT PHILADELPHIA. The Young Folks Hh<1 a Big Time of It Saturday. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. Dei.phos, May 34.?Saturday, 23d of May, was one of the most pleasant days of all the beautiful days of spring. A large number ot men, women and children were present at the church in time to begin the services at half past ten o'clock. Songs, recitations and readings followed in quick succession, each doing their part well. The Sunday school superintendent, J. J. Gaulden, teachers and all who helped to make the meeeting a success, deserve credit. Rev. A. N. Brunson made an interesting practical address on education. Mrs. Humbert talked on missions, and the membership of the Woman's Foreign Missionary society was increased to 18. The following young people and children took part in the exercises. Mr. Frank Carson, Misses Susie Berry, Mattie Carson, Daisy Gaulden, Jessie Carson, and Miss Belle Carson was organist. Girls?Annie Scott, Bessie Jones, Wilma Lowry, Mamie Deviney, Annie Jones, Ida Dunlap, Lelia Dunlap, Mamie Timmie, Emima Bradford, Mary Scott and Robie Nunn. Boys?Frank Latimer, Cleveland Dunlap, Walter Gaulden, Beatty Carson, Rodney Scott, Willie Gauldon, Harley Gaulden and Johnstou Carson. The pastor gave words of encouragement and praise to the inembei-s of the school and spoke of the good order observed during the day. Tin* dinner was excellent and abundant and greatly enjoyed. The conclusion of all present was that the day was pleasantly and profitably spent. Collection commendable. * * SHARON SHAVINGS. Personal and Other Notes?Mrs. Crosby Improving. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enaulrer. Sharon, May 24.?We bad a refreshing shower of rain last evening, and this morning everything looks healthy and bright. Rev. J. B. Swann and wife, of Bullock's Creek, are in town this morning. Rev. Mr. Swann preached for the Woodlawn congregation last night. Mrs. Caine, of Georgia, is visiting her daughter, Mrs. J. S. Grier. Misses Alice Riggins and Aggie Sherer have returned home from Huntersville, N. C., for the summer vacation. Mr. John A. Byars has moved into his new house. Rev. W. R. Owings will preach at Woodlawn church next Sunday morning and night. The wheat crop is looking better than at this season for several years. Mrs. Allen Crosby, who was bitten by a snake about a week ago, is getting along very nicely. Mr. J. D. Kell got his elbow joint dislocated one day last week by a horse strikiug him with its foot. With the exception of a few cases of dysentery, the health of the couutry is jood. The people of this section were very much grieved to learn by The Enquirer of last Saturday, of the death of Seuator Earle. South Carolina has sustained a serious loss. a. c. EARLE'S SUCCESSOR. Looks Like John L. McLaurln Is the Man. Columbia State, Tuesday. It is scarcely a matter of speculation any longer who will he the successor of the lamented Earle in the United States senate. As indicated in The State yesterday morning, it seems that the man will be Congressman John L. McLaurin. In political circles yesteriay it was generally conceded that he was the man whom the governor would appoint, and all talk about the chances of others whose names have been mentioned in connection with the place was abandoned. A few who had not consulted the men who are prominent n politics continued to talk a little of other possibilities, but the opinion is practically unanimous that Mr. McLaurin will be appointed by Governor Ellerbe. It is also considered practically settled that the appointment will oe announced before many more sunsets. So much for the situation as viewed outside of the executive office. Yeserday Governor Ellerbe talked pleasintly about the situation, indicating :bat his mind was fully made up in egard to the matter, but he had very little to say that was indicative. The governor was very discreet and noncommittal. He intimated, however, hat the appointment would be announced in a day or two. * .1 - n n 1 in 1. Since cne aeam 01 uenerai jcjane, friends of the gentlemen named below liave urged their claims for the appoint neut upon Governor Ellerbe, and these are, he says, the only names he lias considered. Here they are : Congressman McLaurin, Solicitor G. Duncan Bellinger, General Wade Hampton, State Seuator J. L. M. Irby, Dr. James H. Carlisle, Railroad Commissioner W. D. Evans, C. A. Woods, Jno. C. Duncan and Colonel D. K. Norris. To give an idea of how the friends of meu in certain localities have been looking after the appointment, while the mass of the people seemed to desire the selection of Congressman McLaurin, the following contents of a postal card received yesterday by a well-known public man from a friend in Colleton connty is published : "The friends of Colonel B. Stokes are urging his appointment for United States senator in pluce of Senator Earle, deceased, in a card circulated today in our midst. Anything that you may do personally to promote his appointment is earnestly solicited by bis many friends." Governor Ellerbe has received a large number of letters from all over the state in regard to the appointment and the future race for the unexpired term. Many of the writers have suggested to the governor that he himself make the race for the senate in the election next winter. Governor Ellerbe some days ago, however, announced that he would not be a candidate for this position under any circumstances. SOUTH CAROLINA NRWS. Delegates to Galveston. Columbia Journal: Governor Ellerbe has appointed the following delegates to the cotton growers convention in Galveston, Texas, on August 7: At large, J. E. Tindal and J. C. Blalock ; first district, Thomas Martin; second, S. G. Mayfield; third, 1). K. Norris; fourth, J. I). M. Shaw; fifth, W. N. Elder; sixth, J. H. M. Manning; seventh, W. S. Barton. Pope Surrenders. A Columbia special of Sunday to the Atlanta Constitution, says : South Carolina's Lily White Republicans who for four years have been organizing a new Republican party, taking in many whites and the more educated Negroes, has been whipped out by the old regulars under E. A. Webster. They had hopes of some day taking iu all the discontented whites and capturing the state, but obtainiug no re cognition &r encouragement at Washington, have surrendered. Dr. Sampson Pope, Lily White leader, tonight aunounces his surrender and urges his followers to go over to the Webster wing. The same advice is also given by a Negro leader on that side. Sentoar Earle'a Funeral. The funeral of Jos. H. Earle took H. Earle took place at Greeuville last Saturday. It was attended by a delegation from the senate and house of representatives, headed by Senator Tillman, and also a large concourse of people from all parts of South Carolina. Governor Ellerbe was not pres i - I * .~ a 4 em, naving oeen preveuteu m mc msi miuute from going. Tbe funeral services took place in the First Baptist church and were conducted by Rev. Dr. Gardner. In speaking of tbe death of his colleague after the funeral, Senator Tillman said : "No death has occurred of any person with whom Ihave beeu associated in my life that has caused me more real regret and sorrow. General Earle won my respect in the campaign of 1890 when he opposed me by his manly 6gbt. 1 admired the courage and manliness with which be faced adverse audiences. Notwithstanding tbe position I took in the last senatorial campaign, my per sonal relations with General Earle during the month he has been in Washington were friendly aud pleasant. Considering the fact that he had just gotten the highest honors that bis state could confer, and obtained free scope for his talents, it was one of the saddest deaths I can recall. His colleagues in the senath took the greatest interest in his illness, and I was besieged daily with questious as to bis condition. There were a great many expressions among them of sorrow and sympathy for his family at his untimely death." SENATOR APPOINTED. Governor Ellerbe Selects John L. McLaurin to Succeed Earle. Just as The Enquirer went to press it received a dispatch to the efiect that Governor Ellerbe had appointed John L. L. McLaurin to succeed the late Joseph H. Earle in the United States senate.

SCHORB, Yorkville, S. C. ? =? 1 L. GEO. GRIST, ^ FIRE INSURANCE AGENCY, 8 Yorkville, S. C. c I REPRESENT over 827,000,000.00 J of assets in my fire insurance agency, * and I am prepared to write FIRE and ? TORNADO INSURANCE on short no- ? tice at the lowest pievailing rates. Each J: fire policy carries with it, without extra j, charge, a "lightning clause," which pro- ? 'onto thn insured against loss or damage " by lightning. I represent the Norwich Union Fire Office of England, which is an absolutely tire tested company, having been "dragged oyer the coals" since 17^T. Then I have the yEtna of Hartford, which has been doing business at the "old stand" since 1819; the Pennsylvania is by no means a "squatter or experi- d ment," having been "iightin' fire in all n its fury" since 1825. The Delaware In- v stiranee company has been pretty severe- v ly burned several times, but has main- fi tained its motto?"Just, Prompt, Certain" A since 1835. The Old Continental, which is v living in exile from the South-Eastern II taritf association, thinks she can stand alone and work in "single harness," and since 1853 the "old lady" has helped her children to something over ?35,000,000 and she is always "at homo." Insurance left with my agency will always receive prompt and careful attention. L. GEO. GRIST, Resident Agent. NASC FERGUSON.
