LETTER FROM BLACKSBURO. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. Blacksburo, .Tune 24.?The past two days are conceded to have been the hottest of the season, the temperature running up pretty high, and everyone seems to be in a melting mood. It is grand weather for cotton, though. The plant is looking healthy and strong, and no kind of vegetation has as yet been in injured by the heat. On last Thursday, while the north bound freight-train Kb. 19, on the Air-Line railroad, Capt. Kirkwood conductor, was coming off the bridge at Broad river, Emanual P. Bright, the watchman at the bridge, was knocked off the track by the engine and instantly killed. Trial Justice W. D. Camp having been notified of the accident, summoned a jury and, acting as coroner, held an inquest, over the dead body. The verdict was that the unfortunate man came to his death by "accident or mischance," and no blame attaches to any one connected with the train. The only inference drawn from the testimony was that Bright was on the track, in front of the engine, and failed to get off in time to avert the terrible castastrophe. There was no evidence that he was under the influence of liquor. He was about forty-five years old and leaves a wife and several children who were dependent upon his wages for a living. Miss Mamie Williams, of Lancaster, is visit\f?ki HHu OflhnrnA and ATissaq l\f?rv and Muttie Osborne, of Chester, and Miss Ella Rainey, of Sharon, are on a visit to the families of Mr. O. Osborne, and Mr. Allen Crosby. A special meeting, begun Saturday evening, is being held this week at the Presbyterian church, by ;he pastor of the church, and bis son, Rev. Mr. Anderson, of Rock Hill. Dr. John G. Black received by express a few days ago three thoroughbred Jersey calves from Worcester, Massachusetts, that he adds to his already very fine herd of Jerseys. Mr. W. A. Black, of Merriweather county, Ga., has returned to his home after paying a Visit to relatives at Blacksburg. Mr. Adam Davis, of Greenville, S. C., is spending several days at this place. Dr. Thomas B. Whitesides is erecting a neat and very elegant residence on Carolina street. He has surrounded several acres of land embracing the spring analyzed by Prof. Burnie, State chemist, and found, as my readers know, to contain some very valuable health-giving elements. There are nine of these springs in a group that bubbles forth at the foot of Carolina Btreet that forms near by a common street that wends its way through a deep ravine in Whitaker's mountain, and loses itself in the valley of Buffalo. The curative powers of these waters have been known for all time and sought by many an invalid. When the proper investigations are made there is no doubt there will be found a great deal of very valuable mineral water here, as the evidences of this fact are very patent in this section. Rev. T. M. Lowry, pastor of the First Presbyterian church in Augusta, Ga.. preached in the Presbyterian church at this place last night, while on his way to visit his former home in Yorkville. The work of building the new hotel has commenced in earnest. Material is being placed upon the ground and quite a number of mechanics have commenced its construction. This magnificent building fronts Peachtree street, down at the foot of which is the mineral spring that 1 have made mention of. It is located on a high shady point, that will afford a scenery that is grand in itself. M. R. Reese is erecting several beautiful cottages on railroad avenue. Your correspondent had the pleasure of visiting the Blacksburg Land ana Improvement company's building, which is commodious in all apartments, well fitted and conveniently arranged with light, airy rooms, magnificent office furniture, wh6re architects and engineers are at work. The. maps spread out here will show the progress maae by this company for Hrinriincrs and a Hvstflm of beautiful streets that embrace their property. The effort of this company is to diyest themselves of anything like humbuggery, that every street and lot shown on their maps can be located, and when this work is completed under the supervision of its indefatigable and persevering president, Maj. Jno. F. Jones, sales will be opened, and from the progress being made, it is vivid to our imagination that a city will spring up around here as if by magic. Robert W. Whitesides and William Ross, county commissioners, are here looking after putting a bridge across Buffalo, at Moore's mill. This bridge, if built, will serve a great purpose for this part of the county?one much needed? and will give the sections on each side of this deep stream the advantage of an intercourse, that are now isolated from each other. The Schyler Electric Light company are placing the machinery of their plant and putting up their poles along the streets. The time agreed upon by the company is to complete their work by the Fourth of July, by which time, no doubt, the town will blaze w'ith electric lights, much to our comfort. Professor Barnes has his telegraph lines completed to all the principal places in the town and messages for 5 cents can be flashed everywhere, He has a full school and has his most advanced scholars out on the lines from the school building. Everything works under a system as if in regular service. Mr. Frank Hardin is here from Atlanta to spend a few days at his old home in Blacksburg. R. E.Allison, Esq., of Lancaster, I)r. James H?tllifinn ?A [liarm anr! ltr White. Clf this county, stopped over in our town last Sunday en route for Atlanta, Ga. w. a. Better from hickory grove. Correspondence of the YorkvUle Enquirer. Hickory Grove, June 24.?Mrs. Terry and her daughter, Miss Mary, mother and sister of our depot sigent, Mr. R. B. Terry, after having spent several days in our town, left for their home at Hamlet, X. C., last Tuesday afternoon. A Miss Belle Kennedy, one of Yorkyille's fair%t, was in town for a week, visiting the family of Dr. J. W. Allison. Rev. J. C. Galloway, of Yorkville, preached to a creditable audience in the A. R. P. church at this place on last Wednesday evening. Rev. Mr. Betts, of Richburg, S. C., will preach for the same congregation next Sabbath, 29th instant, at 11 o'clock, a. m. Rev. A. J. Stafford filled his appointment at Mt. Vernon on last Sunday. A good congregation was present. >*Thegold miners have gone to work in earnest. A lilrnnw rtf Taujq wItK KIo atioaoiotnc ia now sinking a sbaft on the land of Mr. J. W. McKeown, near here. Mr. W. H.

He has been attending school at Huntersyille, N. C., but does not expect to finish his course there. He will probably go to Due West next year. rkx. LETTER FROM ROCK HILL. Cormipondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. Rock Hill, June 24.?On Friday laS^ as the town clock struck the hour of one, one of our best and most esteemed citizens passed away. Dr. Robert H. Hope is no longer with us. *A good citizen,'a kind friend and a noble Christian gentleman, has gone to his last resting place without a blemish upon his pure character, and with the love and esteem of all who knew him, .as was demonstrated by the large number who visited him during his last illness and the immense concourse who attended his funeral services, which were held in the First Presbyterian church. The house was filled long before the hour appointed for the services, as well as a large portion of the yard. In the pulpit were Rev. W. M. Anderson, the pastor, Rev. J. S. White, Rev. J. Q. Adams and Rev. J. W. McRoy, all of whom took part in the solemn services. The hearse which carried the remains was drawn to and from the church by four black horses. The pall bearers, a delegation from the Masonic fraternity, were, Messrs. Jno. F. O'Neal, A. F. Fowell, J. W. Fewell, M. Johnson, Win. Whyto, W. A. Steele, W. S. Moore, A. E. Hutchison. Ho was buried with Masonic honors. The funeral cortege was the largest ever seen in our town. As soon as the death of this noble old gontleman was announced, every business house and a number of private residences wore elaborately draped in mourning, and at the hour of his funeral, all business was suspended. Dr. Robert H. Hope was born in Mecklenburg county, N. C., November 18th, 1818. At the age of 18, he. with mother and family (his father having died) settled in York county, where he married Miss Jannie McFadden, in 1842. In 1840 he graduated and received his diploma as a doctor of medicine from the Charleston Medical school. He has evcrsinee practiced his profession in this county, and has done more charity practice than any other physician in it. When called upon he always responded to "the distress call." In obstetrics ho was a specialist, and in a record of over 2,000 cases he was successful in every one. Already, a movement is on foot by the ladies of the town, to whom he has boen a faithful friend, to erect a handsome monument to his momory. IIis death is a loss to our community. Certainly a good man is gone. The young men and boys of the town have decided, to have a bathing'pond, and have secured a site for the same on the branch that the C. C. and A. railroad crosses, about a half mile north of town. Work has been begun on a two-story building on Main street, the property of Capt. A. E. Hutchison. The first floor will contain three store rooms, to be occupied, when completed, by Mallard Bros., Steele Bros., and "Your Uncle Miles." Tbesecond floor will likely bo secured as an armory for the Catawba Rifles. Sunday was the warmest day of the season. The front of the Carolina Hotel is being greatly improved by a coat of paint and repenciling the brick. The town council is doing some good work on Elm avenue by grading and otherwise improving the street. Chas. Westerlund accidentally shot himself in the leg last week with one of those "did not know it v,as loaded" pistols. The wound, while painful, is not serious. The closing exercises of Ebenozer school, under the management of Prof. J. H. Wilson, were held on Thursday and Friday nights last, and were largely attended. The exercises consisted as usual, of recitations, dialogues and speeches. Thursday night Prof. Rice, State superintendent of education, and Rev. L. A. Johnson, county school commissioner, made short but appropriate addresses to the children. On Friday night the prizes which had been offered were awarded as follows: The gold medal to Miss Annie Roddey. In algebra?Sam Watson, Sam Carothers. In arithmetic?J. R. Stephenson, of Chester county. . In rhetoricEunice Moore, of Bethesda. The Masonic fraternity of this place will lay the corner stone of the new Presbyterian church at Ebenezer on Friday next, at 5 p. m. A number of our citizens will attend. Leellopper.lan employee at the Globe Cotton 'mill# in a difficulty with some person Sunday before last, was bitten on the,middle finger of of his hand. Gangrene followed and I)rs. Crawford and Miller to-day found it necessary to amputate the finger. Dr. J. B. Patrick died atS p. ni. yesterday. He was formerly a cadet in the King's Mountain Military school, and had many friends in York county. Hi9 sickness Vud short, and the disease "uranic poisoning," was quick in its work. lie was in the 3Uth year ot his nge. His father and mother arrived here from Charleston this morning at 2 o'clock, to find him cold in death. The funeral services will be conducted at the First Presbyterian church by Rev. J. S. White, and at the grave by the Knights of Honor. An escort from the Catawba Rifles will attend, consisting of the officers and a large number of the company. The pallbearers will be from the Knights of Honor. UAL. | ? NOTES FROM LESSLIE. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. Lesslie, June 23.?A Democratic club was organized at Coates's Tavern on the 14th instant, with fifty members. The following officers were elected : A. K. Smith, president; J. T. Spencer, first vice-president; T. F. Lesslie, second vicepresident ; W. P. Crook, secretary and treas- j urer. An executive committee, and a committee on registration and by-laws were appointed. The school at Lesslie closed on the loth iustnnt. Miss Lawlie Simpson has resigned as teacher and gone to her home in West Virginia. The patrons of the school have secured the services of Miss Rose Eva Patton, a recent graduate of the Winthrop Training school. She will open the school on the 14th of July. The farmers of this section are well up with their work. The cotton crop is in fine condition. The small grain is about all housed. Wheat is even poorer that was thought. Oats are generally good. We are needing rain badly, it now being four weeks since we have had a good season. t. l. LETTER FROM LANCASTER COUNTY. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. Craigsvili.e, June 21.?This section is not very prolific of news. Our people are btisy, and have no time to gossip. Farmers generally are well up with their work, and crops are promising. The late rainfalls have been very partial. Some lands have been too wet to plow for several days, while others have had scarcely any rain. South of the dividing line, the corn is beginning to suffer. Not having had a thorough season, since it was planted, the stalk has not been able to throw out feeding roots as it ought; and, while the stalk is of gpod size, if there is not a season shortly the crop will be very short. With good seasons there is a promise of a good crop, for the grouud is in excellent tilth. Last week a hailstorm went along the State line eastward and did great damage, some crops towards Monroe being beaten to pieces. Cotton is doing well. Blooms were seen in various places on the 15th instant, and some stalks measure over three feet. This is encouraging, after the magnificent failure of last year. The crop is very well worked ; very little grass is to be seen. The season being favorable, a large crop may be expected. Oats has been harvested, and generally saved without damage. The crop is only tolerable. Spring sowings had not enough rain, but turned out rather better than was expected, and fall sowings were troubled by insects. F ruits of all kinds, except blackberries, are short. Many strawberries were killed by the frost early in May. Cherries promised a good }deld, but failed for a like cause. Peaches are ike angels' visits, and plums conspicuously absent. Blackberries alone must he relied on for winter use. Pur people are canning them right ahead. They are much better than nothing, and we should be thankful for them. Corn silks w^ere seen in a field here on the 13th instant. Tillmanism is being both cussed and discussed. We expect a big time ?t the court house on the 4th proximo. waxhaw. wirt nir.r. r.f? inph srunnr. JL VIIJL UliUU k/vuvv<j> Correspondence of the Yorkvllle Enquirer. Fort Mill, June 23.?It was my privilege and pleasure to attend the closing exercises of the Fort Mill Graded school last week. Fort Mill has long enjoyed the reputation of having one of the best schools in the State, and the exercises just closed have been calculated to make us believe that it is more efficient than ever. The school is under the management of Prof. J. A. Boyd, assisted by Misses Etta Ardrey and Lucy Belk?all experienced, painstaking teachers, with their hearts in the work. The examinations were commenced on Tuesday, continuing through Wednesday and Thursday, and were closed on Friday night with a delightful entertainment, in which all the pupils from the tiniest dot of four years, up to the fads and lassies of sixteen, took part. It has never been my pleasure to witness more creditable examinations, and all the patrons of the school aro delighted with the thorough work of the teachers. The exhibition on Friday night was also a grand success. The house was crowded, and for four hours was delightfully entertained with readings, recitations, plays, dialogues and declamations. Supt. Rice, who was present, -delivered a short address, in which he took occasion to say that the exhibition just witnessed was one of the best gotten up and most perfectly carried out that he had seen for a long time. Of "in said they bore testimony to tbeadmirable w'urk of the -teachers, ?vliusir faithful labors were unmistakably evidenced in such splendid results. Up to the present time the enrollment shows up the names of 10G pupils, with an average attendance of 93. We had good rains last Tuesday and Wednesday. DEMOCRATIC CLUB. For the Yorkvllle Enquirer.

G. H. O'LEARY. THE ONLY AUTHORIZED EDITION? MRS. JEFFERSON DAVIS is very much annoyed at the action of the bookmakers who are trying to flood the market with hastily prepared "Lives" of her illustrious husband. She says no one is publishing a history of the life of Mr. Davis by her authority. She is at present engaged in writing a history herself, and this will be the only authentic one. It will be published sometime during the fall by the Belfords, of New York. Dr. Jones, of Atlanta, has received the sanction of Mrs. Davis to write a history of the memorial services held over Mr. Davis, but aside from this no other permission has been granted. The above paragraph was taken from a loading and thoroughly reliable Southern newspaper, and I have in my possession an autograph letter from Mrs. Davis which corroborates it in every particular. I have been appointed agent for the'book by the Belfords, and now have the prospectus. Will be pleased to receive the orders of all who desire the book. Mr. John A.
