LOCAL LACONICS. Picnic at Fort Mills. Concord, Fort Mill and Allison Creek schools unite in a picnic at Fort Mill today, Saturday. Until January 1st, 1901. The Twice-a-Week-Enquirer, filled with the latest aud most reliable news, will be furnished from the date of this issue until January 1, 1901, for $1.30: Wanted at Clemson. President Hartzog, of Clemson, has invited the state summer school to Clemson this year ; but as Winthrop has such an advantage on the score of accessibility, to say nothing of any other feature, it is not likely that there will be any change. No Board of Control. Appointments for the various county boards of control throughout the state were announced from Columbia on Wednesday. The York delegation having made no recommendation on account of t^e fact that there is do dispensary in this county, no board was appointed for York. / Wlnthrop Excursion. An excursion train loaded with Wintbrop college students passed up the South Carolina and Georgia Extension railroad yesterday morning on its way to Ball Alley, N. C. There had been no previous notice of the excursion. Otherwise some of the Yorkville youDg men would have no doubt bad business at the depot duriug the 20 minutes that the train stopped here.v/ Merely a Rumor. A, There has been a rumor on the streets of Yorkville during the past few days to the effect that John Hart, the well-kDown Negro desperado, was killed in UuioD county last week. Careful inquiry has developed no satisfactory foundation for the rumor further than that a posse, which followed Hart, brought back his coat to Lockhart. It is believed that Hart has goue with a party of laborers to railroad work at Gaiuesville, Ga. The County Board. The county board of commissioners held its regular monthly meeting in the office of the supervisor on Wed nesday, all the members being present. Along with the work of auditiug accumulated accouuts, the board revised the schedule of fees allowed with reference to the examination and commitment of lunatics. Heretofore these fees have been fixed by statute; but at the last session of the general assembly, the act was amended so as to put the matter within the discretion of the county commissioners, and the board, on Monday, allowed the fee of the judge of probate to remain the same?$5?and cut the amounts allowed the two examining physicians to $2 each and milage at the rate of 5 cents a mile. Hereafter the cost of conveying lunatics to the asylum is to be limited to the actual expenses without any per diem. Scarcity of Timber. Although there is still a considerable quantity of fine timber to be found in the northern and western sections of York county, the saw mill men say that there are no more tracts large enough to offer much inducement to lumbermen. Some five or six years back, a belt of country on both sides of the state line stretching from Crowder's Mountain back to the headwaters of King's creek, and some five miles wide, was a solid original forest. There are as many as 50 old sawmill sites in this belt, and the land is entirely denuded of timber. From the best information at hand, every sawmill within 20 miles of Yorkville is far behind with its contracts, and these is not one that is able to get out a reasonably large bill of lumber on short notice. The demand for lumber in this section just now is larger perhaps than at any previous time in the history of the country, and most large consumers seem to be looking to the northeastern part of the state for their supplies.

Charles M. Sheldon, and is pronounced by all who have read it, to be Mr. Sheldon's masterpiece. Below is given an idea of what the story is about: Robert Hardy, a wealthy church member, who is a Christian in name only, is rebuked by his wife for his selfish and unchristian attitude toward several employees who have been injured and fulls asleep upon a sofa. In his dream he sees everything that is going on in the town about him; his minister discouraged because of the worldliness of people in the church, and particularly because of Hardy's unchristianlike conduct; his son gambling and drinking in a saloon; one of his injured employees whom he had refused to visit awaiting the amputation of both feet; and his lonely wife mourning because of his neglect. He then dreams that he is carried high above the earth into the presence of the Face of Eternity. The Face accuses him of his lack of Christianity and warns him that he has but seven more days upon earth? "seven days to help redeem your soul from everlasting shame and death." Mr. Hardy awakens greatly impressed by his terrible dream and believes that it is actually a warning. He tells his wife and children of his dream, admits that he has not lived as he should, and declares that he has but seven more days to live. The clock strikes the hour of midnight and the first of Robert Hardy's seven days begins. In these seven days Mr. Hardy does all he can to better the physical and spiritual condition of those about him and exactly at the stroke of midnight of the seventh day he? But it is unfair to give away the whole plot. The reader is kept in suspense throughout the story and does not know whether the seventh day of Robert Hardy is his last until the end. Now, don't say that the storj is too dry, has 110 excitement ii; it, and you don't want to read it. Just read two or three installments and then you'll decide thai it's "simply out o' sight."
