Miss Emma Kennedy left last week for Hardeevllle to resume her school work at that place. Mr. George Wilson is quite ill at the home of his son, Mr. R. L. Wilson in the Zion neighborhood. Mr. and Mrs. W. Brown Wylle and Miss Rachel Wylle spent Saturday and Sundav with relatives in Chester. Mr. J. B. Kennedy, returned on yesterday to Baltimore to resume his studies at Johns Hopkins University. Mr. L. W. Jenkins was on last Sunday chosen as superintendent of the Yorkvllle Associate Reformed Sunday school. Mr. C. C. Hughes of Qrover, N. C., who purchased a part of the Steele place on Fishing Creek last spring expects to move there about the first of January. Mr. Hughes is a most excellent citizen and a good farmer, and will be a great acquisition to the section in which he has decided to locate. Mr. Isaac H. Norris, who recently came with his family to Yorkvllle from Princeton, 111., and who has since been confined to his rooms at the residence of Mr. Brooks Inman with measles, was able to be out yesterday . and has commenced taking a look over the country. The reporter has not yet had an opportunity to talk with him; but understands that he is finding a great deal more in this locality than he had led himself to anticipate, and so far is very much pleased. Mr. Norris is a man of fine intelligence, and also of ample means. If he shall see proper to settle in Yorkvllle or in the country immediately surrounding ~ his immediate neighbors will no doubt have cause for congratulation. He is now seeking a suitable residence in which to go to housekeeping. COCAINE "SNIFFERS." Following up the information secured from Mayor Lowry a few days ago ' as to the development of the cocaine habit among the negroes of Yorkville, the reporter has had a talk on the subject with a negro of good Intelligence, who is in pretty close touch with the class that is becoming addicted to the drug. The negro referred to, although a habitual drinker of whisky, denies that he has ever experienced the sensations that make cocaine so much sought after; but has observed the effect on others, both men and women. "Th?v tell me." he said, "that CO calne does you just like whisky, exv. cept it don't make you want to go to sleep. When you keep on drinking whisky and lie down, you'll go to sleep; but when you 'sniff* cocaine, you don't never want to go to sleep no more. But you can't get along without it. Several of these niggers around here what used to drink whisky all the time, have quit drinking whisky and gone to 'sniffing' cocaine. Some of them, not many, 'sniff cocaine and drink whisky both, and that seems to just make 'em plumb crazy." "Some of these negroes around here," suggested the reporter, "are so trifling that they won't work for anybody at any price, or under any circumstances. Without reference to these but only to those who, within your knowledge have contracted the cocaine habit, what has been the effect on their disposition as to work?" "Wei;, I spec dey ain't as good workers as dey wuz. From de best I can git a pusson don't want to work when dey's been sniffln' cocaine no mor*n dey do when dey have been drinkln' whisky; but all dat I knows works as good as dey ever did, specially when dat's de only way dey got to git the money to buy cocaine." The negro went on to say that cocaine was probably cheaper than whisky; that an excessive user consumes about 10 cents worth each 24 hours; that there are some who exceed this limit; that beginners take less; that ? votaries of the habit seldom leave it off. and that they are recognizable principally by a yellow, muddy cast that comes over the whites of their eyes. WITHIN THE TOWN. ? The enrollment at the graded school is larger than it has ever been, and the work is going on nicely. ? Treasurer Neely is hard at work writing up his receipts preparatory to his approaching tax collecting tour. ? Mr. J. J. Keller reports that he is now having more applications for estimates than at any time during the year. ? There has been a noticeable dropping off of cotton receipts during the past few days, especially since the price fell below 10 cents. ? Mr. W. R. Carroll recently purchased the lot occupied by his store room and has given out a contract for the erection of a good sized warehouse. ? An iron front is now being put In Mr. J. Q. Wray's store room. The contractors have arranged a temporary false front that will enable Mr. Wray to continue business while they are at work ? There were a number of horse dealers in Yorkville from surrounding points yesterday; but business was rather dull, there being in town but few people who seemed to be in search of a trade. ? Mr. W. L. Wallace has taken a contract to build a school house on the York Cotton Mills property. The cotton mill company will furnish the ground and the school district will erect the building. ? In an altercation between Whiteman Hardy and Houston Barber near the Southern depot last Sunday, Hardy slashed Barber across the arm with a razor nearly severing the most important muscles. Both are negroes. The trouble was "about a woman." ? There were several candidates at the competitive examination last Thursday and Friday for the West Point cadetship to be filled by Congressman Finley. Mr. James A. Brice, Jr., of Winnsboro, made the highest average and Mr. John R. Ashe, of Yorkville came next. ? A local buyer estimates the cotton receipts up to date as considerably in excess of what they were at this time hist year. They are In the neighborhood of 1,500 bales. It is probable that so much cotton has never before been sold on this market during the month of September. ? A commission for a charter was on hust Friday issued to the York Furniture company, of Yorkville. The corporators named are: W. B. Moore, W. M. Phillips and Q. Wallace. The capital stock is to be $5,000. The business is to be established in the building formerly occupied by the Heath-Elliott Mule Co. ? The town council is wrestling with the fire limit question. This involves the ordinance prohibiting the erection of other than brick buildings within certain limits, except by special permission. The ordinance has been violated from time to time, and several applications are pending for the erection of wooden buildings. No conclu sion has yet been reached with regard to the matter. LOCAL LACONICS. We Will Send The Enquirer From this date until January 1st, t'J04, for 52 cents. Mot a Boll Weevil. Although the boll weevil may eventually make his appearance in this part of the country, the probability is that he will not be able to do business a great while before his presence Is discovered, for all the more Intelligent farmers are looking out for him. The Enquirer has received a number of suspects of late, and now has one that looks dangerously like the real thing. It was sent In by Mr. David Jackson of Filbert yesterday for comparison w tth the specimen that is being exhibited at this office. The suspect in question Is a small ash colored bug with a needle-like bill, and Just about the size of the boll weevil. But that the suspect Is being falsely accused is quite evident. The real boll weevil is of a dark brown color and its bill is sharper than that of the insect sent by Mr. Jackson. ? Columbia Record: A Plnkerton detective employed by the city has reported to the mayor and chief of police the result of several weeks' work, at a cost of about $300. The report gives a long account of the clues followed up, most of which had been already covered by the police and placed In his hands. The Maud Allen crime is finally fixed on "John Henry Hartsfield," who is wanted for several other crimes, and is not in the slightest danger of being caught. The detective, when employed, caused much amusement by a statement to the press about it. This, it was claimed was done with an object, but Mayor Gibbs was very much surprised at It at the time. All appreciate the efforts of the mayor and local police In their efforts to apprehend the murderer. AT THE CHURCHE8. TRINITY METHODIST EPISCOPAL. REV. J. 1* STOKES, D. D., PA8TOR.
