The ncx; day the dog was;aseJ again and this time followed the trail two miles further, but lo-t the track in a negro settlement on Mr. Jason Pope's place. Uupon investigation it was found that nothing in the store had been disturbed, as the bmglar could not get in the window, and was probably about to m::ke an effort to get in the store at the bar:k when discovered by Mr. Gilbert.

Mr. Editor: In your issue of the 29 :h u!r. was a '.ester from Mr. Jas. Elkin i;i reply lu "Enquirer." Permit me to say that in the rirst place that the iusinuaiion that I patronized a blind tiger in llidgeway or any other place is an untrue and unjust one. It is hard to be accused of such when I have never patronize 1 any "liquor shop'' of tTie State or owned by any one. I wa.= requested by an official of the town council of Ridgcway to put the question in the paper. It was not ray que-lion, so I could not sign my name to it, and as the gentleman who rc attested me to nut it in did not wish bis liable to appear I signed it as I did. I did not want to use a mask; I Lave no desire to nit in the back or bushwhack any one. Far from it. As to going to Simpson's to brash up my intellect, this would hardly be right for me to do, for the colored teachers at that place must have all they can do to brush up the intellects of ihose who live in that neighborhood. Instead of my being well acquainted with the bar-rcoms, Mr. Elkins muit be. lie says he handles chemically pure liquor, and tiiat tftc bars nanaieu adulterated stuff. I suppose he gets bis information from petsonal experience. I do not know bow el-e, for the gentlemen who ran the bars wore honorable men. In statiog this I do it from a sense of (lu:y. 1 know Mr. Elkin well, and I12 can see that I ao not hnrt his profits. The offichl told me he was told by Mr. Elkin a mouth nr so before that he (Mr Elkin) was ic-idy to make a payment to the town whenever the board of control should order it. Now you know who "Enquirer" if, and whenever the board orders ir, pay the town somethirg, for it needs it ^ad'y. Respectfully, J as. K. u-srore*. | May 31, 1897. A NOTABLE GATHERING AT RIDGEAVAY.

Crops are making some improvement, but sir all for the time of year. Corn crop not very prumising, but we hope there will be a bis: "come out" in it. Blackberries are beginning to ripen an J soon the pie will be the go. I attended children's day at Greenbrier on Friday last. There was a good turnout and everything worked very smoothly. The program was carried oat in full, and the children acqnittcd themselves handsomely, which shows that they were under good trainers. The music was led by Miss Maggie Gladden on the organ and Messrs. Seigler and Chandler on their corn-Is. It was enjoyed very much by the audicnce. Dinner was announced aid all repaired lo the table, which was well supplied with good things. There were many calls for hash and Capt. Hays was kept verv busy forwarding it 'to the table. He. knows how to make good bash. Tne dinner was not over but a short while before wc were visited by a very heavy rain. The church 1 gave umbrage to the crowd and we i-i 1 ?m M- rn /"> I naci Rome goou music wun alt. x. Leitner at the organ and Messrs. Jennings aud Parker accompanying. I observed on my return trip that the colored Methodist ehur;h (Ebenezer), near Mr. J. L. Robinson's, had been blown ofi: its pillars, but do not know what damnge It sustained. Well it seems that the dispensary i-; having a hard road to travel. The "I told ycu soV hit it right again, which should be no surprise to thinking people who are unbiased. I think Judge Simonton's decision is 111 strict accord.inf.p with pnnitv. though he is criti cised by some who voluntarily blind themselves to reason. It seems that the State will continue the business until it is finally settled by the United States Supreme Court which will give ; them a lease of life for about a year. There seems to be sjme desire on the part of the State to enter into compe- ( i it ion with others who may sell liquors witbiu her borders. If so prices will < hAvr- tn fJnwn or thevwill have to form a trust and combine. The best solation of the whiskey; problem wili be a change from dispensary to high license with the whiskey regulations attending it. I endorse Governor Ellerbe's judgment in his appointment of Hon. J- L. . McLaurin to fill the vacancy in the ' United States Senate caused by the death of the lamented Earle. I look ; upon McLaurio as being the best man a. -i-t- ?~,1 ?.il A.. uii tue utnegauun aim uem^ wi;n up vu > co^srressionai business. I think he will ! bo hard to beat in a primary.

The question of elcct- | ing or appointing tracttocs is one of I most vital importance, not only to the patrons and children with whom they have to deal with direct, but to the taxpayers and the oinmunit> in gen* rim!. Kv- ! d. k' O.v.s that the pro gro-- .uiy b 11 ~i:ic -s dep't:d< upon J the cahbrr. wi.l and eneig. of the manage! s in mst. I h?;vo given this subject much consideration, and n.we arrived at iha same conclusion w th which I started out, v'z , that * lie patrmsof ihe school sh >u!d elect th i:their own trustees. The pub ic school fund is a gilt from the S'ai?- iu the children between the agvs "t ? x mo tweiiiy-one >ears of age. \VMil- t.i-re are two skies to this as wel: ul* other questions, I am convinced tl.at the pa ems and guardians of those children should have the privilege of selecting iheir mi-tees and have d-ickkd t'? break the past reco.d a;.d es;ab'i?h a preceden. of electing the school l ros'ees by a direct vote of the white patrons of tiie respective ?choo' dis'ricts. For ibis purpose I hereby order an election to bo heldatrach 1 white school honse in the cuintv on j the la?t Saturday of this mont'i?June J 2G. 1807?polls to open at 4 o'clock I and close at G o'clock p. rn. Ii will be ] required that two-thirds of the ;>a'rons i vote; they can -send (heir vote in a scaled envelope if providentially bin- 1 dered from going out. 'I li: election will ba held by two managers elected ' for that purpjse at the meeting at 4 o'clock sharp. Xo man shall be commissioned who is not competent to discharge the duties of a trustee. Xo man shall be commissioned who has . no children, unless there are not enough fathers or guardians in tbe district who will conform to the above requirement to complete the board. , There must be complete harmony between the County Superintendent and ( the trustees and between the trustees and patron6, and I might add between patrons a-id tea';hfr, to obtain tbe best i results.
