Columbia State, Wednesday: An application was made to the secretary of state yesterday for a charter for a ^ short piece of railroad that will mean much in the development of one of the finest water powers in the south? Lockhart shoals, in Union county. The company, as set forth in the declaration filed, proposes to build a railroad of standard gauge from Lockhart shoals to a point on the Spartanburg, Union and Columbia division of the Southern railway, between Jonesville and Carlisle. On an air line the shoals are exactly 10 miles distant from the Southern's track; but the route that will have to be used will make the distance 15 miles. The corporators of the company are Jno. C. Cary, Jno. H. Montgomery, Jno. B. Cleveland, A. H. Foster and W. K. Livingston. The minimum capital stock is to be $25,000 with the privilege of increasiug to not more than $100,000. The shares will be $100 each and are payable in cash only. A big electrical transmitting power plant will be constructed at Lockhart, it is said, to furnish power to cotton mills and electric lights and power to both Spartanburg and Union. The County Commissioners. The county board of commissioners held its regular monthly meeting last Wednesday. There was not a great deal of business transacted. The board granted permission for the opening of a road from Mr. Bennett Adkius's, on the Chester road, to Mr. Jasper Thomasson's, on the Charlotte road, and also ?Viq nnoninff of another road from 4W1 KUV vpvu.-j, -- the Armstrong Ford road to the Charlotte road, by way of Mr. James Gordon's. The board assumed no responsibility with regard to rights of way. The contract to furnish the supplies that will be required by the county home during the ensuing month was let for $21. There was no requisition for supplies from the chaingang. There were only two bids on account of county home supplies. The other was $23. The county treasury, so far as the ordinary fund is concerned, is practically empty, and there was some talk of trying to borrow $1,000 until next winter; but nothing definite was done. The board has no specific legal authority to borrow money ; but there is nothing in the way if they can find a lender who will let out the desired sum on the individual pledge of the members. He Is Everywhere. Except that the bugs are not killed by our electric lights, the following from the Greenville News, of Wednesday, applies to Yorkville as well as Greenville : The black bugs are here in great numbers. What the little half-inch pests subsist upon, where they are going and where they came from, are questions for which no satisfactory answers can be found. Greenville has never been so pestered by the visitors before, and she devoutly hopes she won't be again. The bugs give no trouble in the daytime, but at night they are in, on and through everything. Great quantities of them are killed in the electric lamps on the streets every night. Yesterday from a gallon to a peck of them could be seen dead under each lamp. In the stores at night they are a great nuisance, causing customers and the clerks to jump and slap in dislodging them from the person and damaging stock by crawling through it and inhabiting it. The pleasure of card parties and other social gatherings is marred by their presence. The bug now so much in evidence gives off a peculiarly disagreeable odor when crushed, and has a sharp bite or sting, though the effects of the latter are not at all lasting or serious.

Newport, September 6.?Miss Eula Dobson's school closed last Tuesday with appropriate exercises. The occasion was greatly enjoyed by patrons and pupils. Miss Dobson has had an enrollment of 40. The patrons of the school are very anxious to have Miss Dobson return here; but she has not yet decided whether she will attend the Greenville Female college. Some of our young people eDjoyed a pleasant visit to Fort Mill last Sunday, having gone over to hear Mr. i-ieitcn. Messrs. Neely & Miller have ginned 45 bales of cotton so far. Mr. J. R. Smith has secured a position with the S. C. and G. E. railroad. Mr. A. M. Black left this afternoon for a short visit to Spartanburg. Miss Janie Black is visiting in Old Point. Mrs. Sam Creighton and three children, of Rock Hill, are visiting friends and relatives at this place. Mrs. Sallie Jackson, of Clover, and Miss Alice Smith, of Bowling Green, ' made us a short visit on Tuesday. They were on their return from Rock Hill.

A nice rain this afternoon cooled the atmosphere somewhat. Sigma. SMYRNA NOTES. The Light Cotton Crop?Still Suffering From Drouth?Sermon by Rev. J. P. Knox. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. Smyrna, September 6.?Cotton picking in this hot, dry weather is tedious business, especially with a crop that does not promise to come within onethird of last year's yield. The rain of last week coquetted with us a little; but it declined to come to us. We are unable to get a stand of turnips. Many of our people have sown two or three times; but the hot sun kills the crop as soon as it comes up. Corn on the uplands is a complete failure, and on the bottom lands promises nothing extra. Rev. J. P. Knox, of Columbia, ! preached at Smyrna last Sunday. There was a large congregation and the service was very much enjoyed. The ginners of this section are pooling interests in order to get rid of the ruinous competition that they have heretofore been putting up for each other. It is claimed that they will not take any advantage of the people, but will only seek to protect themselves. Expressed intentions indicate a large wheat crop to be put in this fall. How that will be, however, can be reported better later on. Mr. Julius A. Hope will buy cotton and cotton seed here this fall as usual. Brief Remarker. WAIFS FROM WARREN. Condition of the Crop#?Army Worm Came and Went? Personal Mention. Correspondence of the Yorkrille Enquirer. Warren, September 6.?Late planted corn was very much benefitted by the refreshing rains of last week. The rains came too late to be of benefit to cotton aud old corn. Both these crops are light. Nobody estimates cotton at more than half a crop. Quite a quantity of peas was sown around here during the summer ; but most of them perished. Some of our farmers are sowing rye for early feed, and the outlook is that there will be lots of grain sown this fall. The army worm marched in on us a week or two ago and did some damage ; but it appears to be on the retreat now. Mr. Bishop Isom and his mother, Mrs. J. N. Isom, are visiting friends here. Mr. J. A. Parish's health is still quite feeble. Uncle Madison Bratton, a wellknown and respectable old colored man, aged about 83, was stricken with paralysis last week; but is some bet ler uuw. I do not know of any fever around here at this time, and but few cases of chills. s. k. J. SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS. Getting Better. The Columbia Record reports that Colonel F. W. McMaster, who was thought to be fatally ill a few days ago is getting better. Mr. Cunningham Resigns. Mr. T. J. Cunningham has resigned as a member of the board of penitentiary directors, on account of his appointment as supervisor of the census in the Fifth district. Another Dispensary Sensation. Quite a sensation developed in the meeting of the state board of control last Wednesday. Shipping Clerk Black complained that Commissioner Douthit had been in the habit of taking liquors from the dispensary and selling the same to local dispensers without making any report to him of the transactions. The matter was investigated to a certain extent. Commissioner Douthit admitted that he was guilty as charged ; but claimed that the goods in question were confiscated beers that had been siezed on ice and which bad to be disposed of immediately before they could spoil. He said the sales were afterward reported to the bookkeeper, and an account was kept of them. It developed that Douthit and "Riant- nro nnt frion^lv Siinnrintnn. dent Bryant was charged with having sold liquor to dispensary employes. He admitted the offence; but said that he had only transgressed two or three times and that there was no barm in it, he thought, for others had done so before him. Nothing has yet been done about the matter. Caught Ou a Trestle. Lancaster correspondence Columbia State: Monday night about 8 o'clock, as the train on the Lancaster and Chester railroad was approaching the trestle over Fishing creek, in Chester county, a horse attached to a top buggy suddenly took the track in front of the engine and ran with the speed of the wind. Engineer Wall, who was at the throttle, brought the train to a stand still. The horse by this time could not be seen, having pursued his break-neck speed down the track. The engineer then cautiously proceeded on his journey with the train. On nearing the trestle he discovered the horse and buggy about 70 feet from the bank in the trestle. The train was stopped again. The crew and passengers went to the place to see the strange sight. While trying to extricate the horse from his perilous position, he made a lunge and tumbled over the trestle, a distance of 40 feet, to the ground below, carrying the buggy with him. He fell on his head with the buggy top over him. The horse was killed instantly. When found his head was doubled up under the foreshoulders. The buggy, of course, was utterly wrecked. The horse and buggy belonged to Dr. Jesse A. Clifton, of the Fort Lawn section of Chester eountv. The doctor was calling on a patient and left bis horse unhitched in the yard. He became frightened at the approaching train and dashed on the track, in front of the engine, and the result was as above stated. AT THE CHURCHES. ASSOCIATE REFORMED. rev. boyce h. orier, pastor.

September C w 2t There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many doctors pronounce it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and be constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proved catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney <k Co..

He is a policy holder in the MUTUAL BENEFIT LIFE INSURANCE CO., of Newark, N.
