long distance ball throwing. The distance, however, was not measured. Dinner was spread at about 2 o'clock. It was plentiful and consisted of the whole range of good things the ladies know so well how to prepare for such occasions. Everybody was invited to make themselves at home, and after a blessing that was invoked by Rev. Dr. J. H. Thornwell, the invitation was taken under very serious consideration. With the exception of perhaps four or five, all the announced candidates for the various county offices were present. All spent the time pleasantly, and if any of them felt disappointment at the comparatively small attendance of voters, the fact was not mentioned. The reason of the failure of the farmers of the surrounding country to turn out was the fact that all of them are still busy in their crops. Had the date of the picnic been postponed two or three weeks later, it is probable that there would have been several thousand people in attendance. i nr.AL LACONICS.

The condition of the crops along the Thome's ferry road between Yorkville and the river is better than it has been for several years. This is-especially so a half mile beyond the Dr. Glenn place and from the McFadden place on by Mr. Sam Barron's to the river. Cotton is from 12 to 15 inches high, well fruited and clean. Corn has generally been laid by in promising condition. The prospects generally are fine. Jim Gilmore Gets Ten Years. Chester special of Tuesday to the Charlotte Observer: The June term of the court of general sessions convened here yesterday morning. Judge Gary presiding. The only case of interest was that of James Gilmore, colored, charged with burglarizing a dwelling at Lowryville, occupied by ladies. He pleaded guilty and was given ten years in the penitentiary. Gilmore is a notorious and desperate character. Having made his escape from jail shortly after his first arrest, he evaded the officers for more than a year and it was only a month or so ago he was recaptured in York county. Sheriff Cornwell, unwilling to take further chances, has had him since that time chained in his cell. Broke the Record. Mr. H. H. Beard of Yorkville released 24 carrier pigeons at this place at sunrise on the morning of July 1, for Charles Smith of Trenton, New Jersey, onnn^lnir the Trenton Sun day Advertiser, six of the birds made the trip, a distance of 508.16 miles, in 12 hours and 26 minutes, or at the rate of 1,200 yards a minute. According to the Advertiser this beats all previous records at Trenton, and is 1 hour and 37 minutes faster than the best time that was made in a race two weeks before. Mr. Beard has a letter from Mr. Smith under date of July 4. In the letter Mr. Smith reports the subsequent arrival of some more of the birds and says that up to the Fourth eleven were still out. He expected most of them to get in eventually. Couldn't Control the Horses. Rock Hill special of July 5, to News and Courier: William Irving Fayssoux, the eighteen-year-old boy of hypnotic and clairvoyant powers, has been here several days giving exhibitions. In the carriage drive yesterday afternoon a bad accident was narrowly averted. As it was an awning in front of a store was torn from the curbings and the vehicle in which Fayssoux and a committee of citizens were seated was completely wrecked. This gave the sceptical an opportunity to get in their work and numerous "told you so's," nevertheless it was very evident that it was from no fault of the blindfolded hypnotist holding the reins that the accident occurred. It was a. plain case of very excitable horses running away. Mr. W. J. Roddey, who was one of the committee and was sitting on the seat by Fayssoux, stated positively that the latter was pulling with all his might to keep the horses from running into the sidewalks. After the wreck Fayssoux was anxious to complete the drive even with the same team, but the town authorities forbade it. The hypnotist gave a very enjoyable entertainment at Friedheim's hall last evening to a full house and will repeat it tonight. At the Big Power House. The situation at the plant of the Catawba Power company is very different from what it was six or seven months ago. Then the whole vicinity was alive with hundreds of busy laborers, mule teams, hoisting engines, etc. Now there are left only signs of the big population that used to be there. There are still standing scores of empty shacks and on the knoll that runs back from the power house is what looks like a cemetery of expensive machinery, hoisting engines, derricks, etc. These have all been gathered up from the river bank and placed on the side of the road for shipment elsewhere. Approaching the power house from the east, the visitor notes signs of "no admission for buggies," "danger, " etc., and at the same time hears a hum of machinery, rather low of pitch, but very strong of volume. The reporter was there a day or two ""A ""/I a?1i? /\nA tVin fAiir hip dynamos that have been installed running. Superintendent Cannon started the other one while the reporter was there. Mr. Cannon happened to be very busy just then, however, and was unable to take the time necessary to explain the workings of the big plant. He has three or four assistants and all of them are kept busy, not working very hard but watching and regulating principally. The river pours over the dam with a steady roar, and the back water extending from hill to hill for miles and miles furnishes an interesting view. The place is quite a popular objective for visitors who are constantly dropping in from the country surrounding, from Rock Hill, Fort Mill, Yorkville and elsewhere. AT THE CHlllCHtCS.
