There's evidently uo uniformity in the standards of ju-tice in relation to the punishment <>i crime in the several state- of the Union. In Missouri the other day a man was sent to jail for six months tor stealing a postage stamp. About the same time a man in Indiana was given a ten months' ? entence for stealing f >ur bottles of whiskey. A man 11. South Carolina might -wipe both the stamp and the liqu >r and his sentence wouldn't exceed thirty days, At a congregational meeting in the First i'reabyterian church last Sunday morning, a resolution was adopted providing for an increase in the salary of Rev. E. E. Gillespie, the pastor, from 11,200 to $1,500 per annum.? Ynrlrville Erwmirer. That sounds good, doesn't it! it ahowR that the Yorkville Presbyterians appreciate the value ol their pastor's able, faithful and laborious services. It is a la. -npnfceble fact that preachers 80f uking, are the poor, era in the vast held ' - x g of human endeavor, except, of ' course, editors.

It is stated and re-stated that the Southern te ; Power company will certainly g move its offices from Charlotte.? n Yorkriile Enquirer. If the Southern Power company knows a good thing when it sees it, and we presume it does, it will move its central offices to x Lancaster. This is not only the j best town on earth, and is grow.. ing better and larger day by day, y . but its location is exactly suited , for the Southern Power company's headquarters, being but i a short distance, comparatively, - from the company's immense - power plants on the Catawba i. river. Delightful Reception Given by Mr. and Mrs. T.inode 1 I - of Creek section. : e Mr. and Mrs. Van A. Linj le of f the Creek section entertained a number of relatives and friends j last Saturday night. At eight o'clock the young ladies and young men marched down the hallway to the diuing> room, where a bounteous sup per was served of ice cream, cake, beer, etc. The table was beautifully decorated with large ' bowis of violets, roses, geraniums and orange blossoms. The hall and parlor were tastetully decorated with snow white dogwood blossoms, ferns, and | . other blooming tlowers.
