I never saw anything like it," said Mr. Mason McConnell, one of Wray's popular clerks, in telling about some unusual fun the boys had at the store last Wednesday afternoon. And as Mr. McConnell told the story it was really funny. A drummer brought the sell to town. It looked like a schooner of beer; but in reality it was only a clever imitation. There stood the glass, full of a pale, reddish liquid that was capped by a creamy foam. Good enough to drink? Why it was sufficient to develop spon taneous combustion in thirsts that are supposed to be eternally hopeless. Business was not specially brisk at the time, and Mr. McConnell went out to a neighboring store after a fellow salesman, who followed him back to the office, with a pleased kind of an expression that is not to be describedonly imagined. Together they stepped behind the desk, and pointing to the lone schooner, Mr. McConnell said, "But don't let anybody see you; Mr. Wray don't allow any drinking in the store; not even of beer." Down on his knees the guest dropped, and holding aloft the schooner, he said: "Mason, I always believed you loved me and now I know it. Bless your old heart; here's to you." He turned the bottom of the schooner to the ceiling and made a pull at its contents. But there was no gurgle, gurgle. What was in the glass is not known, for it would not come out. It was prevented by the tempting yellowish foam which was in reality only a perfect imitation, of hard wax. The face of the victim was a study. He said nothing for an interval, and then he broke out with, "Dog gon your ugly picture, to do a man that way!" Then he thought better of it and whispered, "Don't say anything and let's catch some other fellows." One by one the temptation was set before different passers by, and others were called up by phone. All kneeled on the floor to bring their heads below the level of the desk, before lifting the schooner. Some gave expressions of gratitude and joy. Some proposed toasts more or less elaborate. Nearly all remarked their appreciation of the last glass that had been saved for them. That was before the glass was lifted. After that some took it good humoredly, some were disposed to get a little hot, and one or two were ready - - * " 1- U/TA_ to ngnt; DUi upon me wuuic me IU&Cnious little sell, with its certainly harmless contents, made lots of fun. Mr. Wray was not in town when the joke was first perpetrated: but he was let into the secret later. "I had just been out looking after the planting of some corn," said Mr. Wray, "and when Mason offered me that beer, instead of reproof, I felt like raising his wages. But dang it all I got my share 01 fun out of the others." X'about people. Mrs. A. M. Grist is visiting relatives at Blairsville. ^l-Mr. S. L.

This might 0 possibly be taken as indicating that n there was no special object of secrecy. Still it would be interesting to know who dug that hole and what for.

The Carroll bridge, on the s Pinckney road, had been washed away S and tangled up in the undergrowth *r along the creek bank. It was decided r that the bridge can be replaced by the chaingang. The McKnight bridge, between Mr. J. C. McKnight's and Mr. a Wylie Haffner's was destroyed. This ^ bridge was 213 feet long, and the lumber alone for it cost $263.

For Water, Light* and Sewage. Rock Hill special of April 11 to Co- _ lumbia State: At an adjourned meeting ~ of the citizens this afternoon, Mr. Bordman, an expert from Raleigh, N. C., made his report in the matter of c the valuation of the Rock Hill Water, t( Light and Power company. His estimate of the waterworks plant was ] $37,500. The valuation made last year upon the electric light plant was $17,- a 500, making a total of $55,000 for the 0 plants and franchises. After a lively a discussion a motion was carried that S; the city council should order an elec- tion, as early as practicable, to say ^ whether an issue of bonds to the amount of $95,000 should be made for the purpose of buying these plants and franchises, and in addition, if necessary, to put in a system of sewerage. 1( The Dispensary Fight. The Rock Hill people have been tremendously stirred for the past ten days or two weeks on the dispensary question. There was an enthusiastic anti- " dispensary meeting in the Armory hall * last Tuesday. Talks were made by the i ministers of the city and several lead- * j ing business men urged a united front -j | against the establishment of a state j barroom in the city. But the best j work was done by a number of ladies who secured the names of 557 ladies ii to a protest against the establishment r of a dispensary. The election took d place yesterday and up to 2 o'clock n in the afternoon 213 votes had been r cast. Of these it was estimated that c 57 were in favor of the dispensary and 156 were against it. There seemed to be no probability that the dispensary \ could win. ^ / Recent Death*. As C Two well known and prominent old people died near Bullock's Creek church last Saturday. One was Mrs. Lettie Blair, and the other was Mr. D. J. Good. Mrs. Blair was in the 89th year of her age, and was the widow of the late James Blair, to whom sne was married in Ireland, where both were born. She was the mother of Messrs. J. P. Blair, Samuel G. Blair. Erwin Blair. Andrew Blair, David Blair. W. J. Blair, T. E. Blair, 1 and Miss Sallie Blair. Death was due B principally to the general breaking 11 down incident to old age. Mr. D. J. & Good died cjuite suddenly the same ( day. of heart failure, aged 75 years. He leaves an aged widow and the following children: Mrs. W. G. Palmer, Mrs. Lizzie Crawford. Mr. W. B. Good, Mr. 7. Mattison Good and Mrs. T. B. Ratchford. Both interments took place in Bullock's Creek cemetery, that of Mr. I Good at 12 o'clock Sunday, and that of ,'j Mrs. Blair at 4 o'clock the same after- 1 | noon. The funeral services of Mr. | Good were conducted by Rev. J. B. n ! Swann, and those of Mrs. Blair by Rev. g I J. S. Grier. I i a , Treasury Money For Spartanburg. r 1 Senator McLaurin lias induced the c [ secretary of the treasury to consent to a the deposit of $50,000 of government C money in the Central Bank of Spar- a tanburg. The senator called the at- C tention of Secretary Gage to the in- s justice of a system that deposits gov- r ernment money almost exclusively in C i the banks of the east and north, and 1 demanded fair play. The secretary ( made a concession to the extent of $50,000, and gave an intimation that he may be willing to accord similar adi vantages to other Southern banks. NEWS IN CHEROKEE. /hat the Farmers Are Doing?The Proposed New Iron Bridge?Something About H. C. Neal? The Augusta Division of the Three C's. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. Etta Jane, April 11.?Farmers have ommenced planting corn and some rill soon begin planting cotton. The ground is very hard and run toether by the beating of the rains that ell recently. The county commissioners of Cherkee county are making preparations o build an iron bridge across Broad iver somewhere between Cherokee ""alls and Gaffney's ferry. The site of he bridge hasn't yet been located, but t will, in all probability, be at or near he old Cherokee Ford Iron works. Those of our people who use the ill net, are catching a nice quantity f fish out of Thickety creek. The Enquirer surprised us when it ave an account of the whereabouts of I. C. Neal, who has been gone for 30 dd years. It was also a surprise to is other old acquaintances. He is the on of Mr. Jeptha Neal, who, during he early fifties, was overseer, for Mr. Jennie Crosby, of Blairsville. Lum, or that was the name he went by, ad a crippled foot and walked on it ather sideways. He left and went Vest with the other younger members f the family some years before the reaking out of the war. He was in he western army, and took part in the rincipal battles fought in that secIon. For a long time his family could ear nothing of him until The Enquier found out his whereabouts. Mr. Kingsley, the engineer who reently made a trip to Augusta, Ga., ver the Augusta division of the Three "s railroad, looking after and estimaing the probable cost of finishing up he road, returned one day this week. Ve have not heard his report, but we ;arn that it will be forthcoming in the egular course of business. Several of the graves in Salem graveard have sunk since the heavy rains re have had recently, and should be lied up at once. Besides some of the omestones and monuments need to be traightened up. All the work should e done before Memorial day. Many of ur York county friends and readers re interested. AT THE CHURCHES. PRESBYTERIAN. rev. w. g. neville, pastor.
