Mr. Carroll has promised to be in bis office every day except when engaged on official duties that require bis absence. This arrangement will be highly acceptable to the public. That Old Stale Story. An invariable rumor after a legal banging, is that the condemned man has "come to life again," etc. There will no doubt be such stories in connection with the two Negroes hanged yesterday ; but no credeuce should be given to them. The job was done thoroughly, and the two condemned men are as dead as -they will ever be. -Week of Prayer. _ The various churches of^orkville, except the Episcopal, have l>een observing the present week as a "week of prayer" in accordance with the programme of the Evangelical Alliance. Services were held at the Presbyterian cburch on Monday and Tuesday eveniugs, at the Methodist church on Wednesday evening, Baptist church ou Thursday evening, and were to be held at the A. E. church last evening. There will be no service tonight. It's More Economical. Quite a number of subscribers to The Enquires have a custom of mailing tbeir papers, after tbey are through - - * a ]_ rr*i WHO mem, to distant menus, me friends, no doubt, are glad to get the papers and appreciate them almost as letters from home. But, as a matter of economy, the practice is not a good one. To mail the 104 issues of the paper costs, in addition to the time and trouble necessary, $1.04, and deprives the subscriber of the opportunity of future reference to the paper. It would be a much better plan for the subscriber to have the paper sent from this office, where the subscription, postage, mailing and all would cost only $1.75 per annum, if returned by a club maker. As to Tax Extension. Treasurer Neely has succeeded in collecting taxes this year as closely as is usual, and is very well satisfied with the way people have been paying. But the question is, is there going to be an extension ? The governor promises every year that there will be no extension; but the general assembly steps over him and passes resolutions looking to an extension anyway. And the governor vetoes these resolutions? Not much. He is not constructed in that style. Possibly there are counties in the state where tbe people nave been unable to pay their taxes, and possibly, on account of these, there may . be an extension. But York county does not need the time extended. An extension will only serve to throw things generally out of gear and make more work for officials who now have as much as they can do. If tbe extension resolution comes up agaiD, the York delegation will do well to have this county, excepted. Highway Robbery. A young man named Crenshaw, who lives at Van Wyck, Lancaster county, was robbed last Saturday night near Roddey's. Tbe robbery was committed by two Negroes who had evidently been lying in wait for a victim. While Mr. Crenshaw was crossing a trestle on The railroad, one Negro came toward him, and at the Rame time another approached from the rear. The Negro in tbe rear ran against him suddenly, and threw him to the ground, a distance of 18 or 20 feet. He was rendered unconscious by the fall. Then the Negroes went down and rifled his pockets, taking therefrom a purse containing $4 and some other articles. Upon regaining consciousness, Mr. Crenshaw made his way to the store # of Mr. Walter Patton and thence to the store of Mr. Sep Massey. Mr. Massey made an investigation of the vicinity of the robbery next day, and saw where Mr. Crenshaw had fallen and the tracks made by the Negroes as they went down after their victim ; but got no clue as to the probable identity of the outlaws. Death of Captain Moore. Captain John M. Moore, formerly a conductor on the Chester and Lenoit Narrow Gauge railroad, and wellknown in this section, died in Chestei last Tuesday night as the result ol having been bitten by a parrot about s week before. The Charlotte Observer of Thursday, has the following: "Captain Moore was not strong. Ht had been threatened with consumptioi for several years, and went into ibt car thinking the travel would beuefii him. His hopes had been realized and he was feeling much strougei when death came to him in a verj unlooked-for manner, by the bite of i pet parrot. Captain Moore was a fim ?

He wai a whole-souled, big-hearted, honest truthful man, and no one coul^ sai aught but good of him. He was high ly esteemed at home and abroad. H< was particularly well-known iu rail road circles, and bis death will b learned of with genuine sorrow." A Long-Lived Family.

With the opening of the new year, let all allow, as far as possible, the "dead past liary the dead," striving hopefiilly, manfully onward to greater achievements and higher heights of progress and prosperity. The holidays parsed off very quietly here. Sociables and parlies for the young folks, a few big dinners for the older ones as well, and the annual visit of Santa Claus to the children, about sums it tip.

J Major General bu R. Brooke, the e governor geueraBof Cuba, is apparently ignoring ftreneral Leonidas Wood, in common here, and is cac bling direct to hsnL^borduiates.

I The price agreed upon is $200 a ? share, which is $75 a share more than was offered for a controlling interest in ? the property two years ago by Thomas F.

Greenville News, Thursday : Three e members of the Second division hos- i] pital corps were arrested by provosts n near the Allen roller mills in West Greenville, last night, as conspirators in a scheme to steal chickens.

I Shot Negro In Self-Defense. p On Tuesday afternoon of last week, p says a Kershaw special to The News fi and Courier, as Manuel Catoe and e Frank Gardner, two youths, were re- 1< turning from a bird bunt, they were met by a young Negro, John McCus- c kul, smartly under the influence of 80 t proof whisky. He at once began to abuse young Catoe, cursing and rock- s tug him, finally seized bis gun aud p attempted to wrest it from him.. He t dragged Catoe about 20 feet, when f Catoe, in self-defence, shot him dead, s The Negro had hold of the gun when a shot. He had been on a general rampage, cursing and ubusing several persons. He had just a few moments be- n fore he attacked Catoe cursed a Ker- q shaw merchant who was passing in a c buggy, and who was accompanied by 0 bis wife. Catoe is a very quiet, peace- ) able young man, and, of course, regrets t that he was compelled to shoot to p protect himself. t. The Lee County Muddle. I News and Courier : .The Lee coun- 1 ty contest is still in statu quo. The c commissioners of tb6 county have-been 1 enjoined from building a county court r bouse, and tbere toe mailer enas. me s county officers have Dot taken charge, t and matters are at a standstill. Uu- I less the supreme court decides some- s thing in the meanwhile an interesting c development will occur next Tuesday, f when the state senator and member of f the house elected for Lee county ask s for admission to the bodies to which c they have been elected. The members c of the general assembly were elected t under the act of the general assembly, and unless there be a direct order to the contrary, it would appear thai the c members will be sworn in. Then the t question will be, what effect this will 1 have on the legal status of the case, i It is argued that the seating of the \ members will recognize the new couo- \ county in fact as well as in law, and 1 that the county will be recognized to c its full extent. It is argued that the \ >riginal petition before the court only isked for prohibition of the erection oi be county buildings, and that nothing nore than directly asked for is likely o be ordered or denied, as the case nay be.

It will be remembered hat the returns te the secretary of tate showed that Pee-Dee county was Dst, but the general assembly, on the Jleged grounds of fraud; went back of he returns filed and created the new ounty. The supreme oourt in the ;ee county case decided that the commissioners of election bad their duties lefined and so did the general aroemly, and it was not one-of the duties f the general assembly to declare an leotion.

Stringent orders have been ssued from Washington in regard 10 arryiug and selling liquors on thu ransports to soldiers. The sale of iqi ors at oue time must have come lose to the verge of a scandal.
