LETTER FROM ELACKSBURU. Corrcdpondence of the Vorkvlllc Enquirrr. Blaoksburg, July 15.?Tlierc was a fall of several degrees iu temperature last week, the thermometer dropping from 90 to 72, in the early morning. Notwithstanding tho intense heat of tho sun during the day, the nights in this charming climate have been pleasantly cool all the time. Sunday evening we woro blessed with an abundant shower of rain, which continuod well into the night, and gavo the thirsty earth and its vegetation a much needed watering. Mr. Wm. Dye is having his building on John street remodeled and added to. Mr. J. R? Healan and Dr. W. Anderson are having their residences on Carolina and Rutherford streets enlarged and otherwise improved. Rey. J. D. McCullough having almost entirely recovered from his recent illness, held the regular monthly service, and preached in tho Episcopal church on Sunday. He announced his intention of adopting for this church the monthly system of offerings for Diocesan missions, which has been decided upon by the churches in tho upper portion of the State, viz.; all persons who wish to con*Knmanlvftu nr futnilipQ flntflr tlift til\JUbO 1UJ bUVUiQV4 < vu V? .wu....vv V...V. names and amounts to be paid, upon a book kept by a collector, who visits the subscribers weekly or monthly, as agreed upon. Mrs. G. W. Maring has been appointed collector for this place. The Blacksburg Literary club has been meeting regularly twice a month since its organization in October. Owing to the hot weather and short evenings, there was a disposition on the part of some of the members to discontinue . i.s meetings for a month or two, but the idoa has been abandoned because of the large attendance and success of the last meeting, held at Mr. W. M. Jones's. The programme, which consisted of reading, recitations and music, was very effectively carried out, and the entertainment decided to be one of the best ever given by the club. Saturday night last marked au important era in the history of our town, in that it was lighted for the first time by electricity. For several days our people had been in a state of expectancy, the movements of the electric light man wore watched with much interest, and when the beautiful and brilliant lights Hashed upon them, there was general rejoicing. The lightitself is a success, and the distribu- 1 tion of the street lamps is so satisfactorily ar- i ranged that it is safe to say no much frequent- ' ed place is not lighted. It burns steadily ' through the night, and all agree that it is the 1 steadiest light they have ever seen. A trip to the company's building will repay ' the visitor. The steam plant is the most complete I have seen. The boiler, a long tubular affair, is connected with heaters and separator ( by steam pomps and injectors, set up in the boiler room, and separate from theengine room, in . which is located the motor power and the electric plant. The engine is highly finished and trimmed with nickle plate, oil cups and valves, presenting, when at rest, an attractive appearance, and is the engineer's delight when in ' motion'; It is adjusted to make 350 revolutions per minute, and at the speed run, not J to give out so much sound as an ordinary sewing machine. All our mechanical experts . say it cannot be excelled for a perfect work- ' ing machine. The main belt, which drives tho dynamo, moves at the rate of 16 miles per J minute, and the dynamo, a scnuyier, jusi . "hums." ' From the dynamo, by a net work of wire, which I do not understand, connected with regulators within, and other highly polished metal attachments mounted upon the switch board, the electric current is distributed to the wire about town. Most of the street lamps are suspended. The one on the mountain at Overloofcplace, is mounted upon a pole, and is to bo arranged later to act as a Hash light. All are 1,500 candle power. The incandescent lamps used in houses, stores and offices, are twenty candle power, and the demand has alroady exceeded the capacity of the plant. The company will undoubtedly doublo it within the next sixty days. The Schuyler patent was used. This company claims to make only the best of all that relates to electric lighting, and guarantees their work for long periods of endurance, and their reliability. They are among the largest manufacturers of electric light appliances in this . country and are crowded with orders. This J explains in part why our light did not shine 1 on the 4th as was originally proposed. y Mr. Bruce Smith, the superintendent for the Schuyler compapy, having the erection of this plant in charge, is rated one of the best men in the business, and the fact that all worked so satisfactorily when first turned on, is evidence of his thoroughness in the details of the } work, since thousands of connections have * first to be made, failure of any one of which would disarrange the working of all. The * building of the company is located about one 1 mile east of the main depot on the lino of the r Air-Line railroad, ana is a 'commodious 1: structure, covering electric plant, steam plant, 1 and storage for fuel. w. a. 0 a NOTES FROM NEWPORT. . Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. ^ Newport, July 15.?As you have not heard 1 from our little town rocently, allow me space for some observations on our tine crops. Nov- c er in the experience of the oldest citizens were a the prospects for a corn arid cottou crop more , flattering. The people are getting their wheat jthreshod, and many of them report almost an ^ enure failure. . The large yield of corn made on one acre of { ground last year by Mr. R. T. Gillespie, 1 has had a good effect in stimulating other s farmers to greater effort in raising "multum K in parvo"?much out of little, or in other 8 words, to reduce the acreage and increase the ^ quantity; aud are more determined than ever to adopt the intensive system of fanning. 1 Oapt. I. W. Moore, of our town, is trying his ( agricultural skill on truck patches, lie is greatly encouraged, and will be liberally rewarded for his labor and expense in the culti- i vation of the same. Newport has done, and is doing, a larger j business than at any time in her previous his- ] tory. The several parties who purchased lots t hero are making preparations to improve them. ( Mr. Joseph Miller will soon commence build- , ing a ware house. Mr. Leonard Wood, of Clay s Hill, is here to-day making arrangements for ] building a residence aud store house. Mr. j Taylor will start soon to making bricks. j Mr. E. M. Atkinson, of Lowrysville, our kind and accommodating telegraph operator, has , been quite ill, but is now improving. Mr. ( Will liarkness, of Sharon, has been attending , to the office during the absence of Mr. At- | kinson. < Mrs. Moore, Mrs. Carothers, Mrs. Taylor ] and others, contemplate a trip to Cleveland springs shortly. Miss Josie Black and Miss Clara Smith have ] returned from school at All-IIealing. j Miss Cora Smith is visiting in Lancaster. Mrs. Lucy Barron is visiting the family of ] Dr. Glenn. j Miss Lizzy Pierce will open her school soon. The Democratic club of this place is large < and still growing. The A. R. P. Church congregation will meet j Thnroffav instant fnr the mirnose Of , taking steps for the building of a new church. A basket dinner will be served on the occasion. It becomes tnv dnty to record the death of Mr. Augustine b. Choat, which occurred at his homo near Clay Hill on the 1st instant. Mr. Choat was a native of Mecklenburg county, N. C., and was born on the 25th of February, 1798, and was, consequently, at the time of his death, in the 95d year of his age. When about 9 years of age he was brought to this county by his father and mother, ana resided in the sainq neighborhood up to the time of his death. He has been a ruling elder in Presbyterian church for 54 years?18 of which were in Ebene/.er church, and 3G years in Allison Creek church. Mr. Choat was a consistent Christian, a good citizen and a patriot, and I will remark just hero, parenthetically, that seven of his "sons and two sons-in-law. served their country in tho Confederate armies during the late war. 1'ilorim. LETTER FROM HICKORY GROVE. Correxpondcnce of the Yorkville Enquirer. Hickory Grove, July 15.?The farmers are about done work and they are coming to town oftener. There is little said about politics. Tho poeple seem to be pretty well divided for Tillman and other candidates who are for goyornor. Several Democratic meetings have been hold at this place, but nothing of any importance has been done. There will be a meeting of the Democratic club at this place next Saturday afternoon, 19th instant. Some of the citizens of our community are . complaining seriously about the condition of 1 the roads. They say that tho roads in tho ' western part of our county aro so bad that a 1 man can hardly travel on horseback. Some- f thing is wrong, and it should be set right. The f people are complaining and seem to think the | commissioners are in fault. If this is so, they j should spur up and have our roads properly worked. ' I am glad to welcome home again my worthy * young friend Mr. Meek White, who has just * graduatod at Krskine college. Mr. White was 1 reared in this community, and Is the son of one of our most successful farmers. IIo has a spotless record and a high moral character, and knowing already how to battle against the ob- , structions and disappointments of life, ho is sure to make a success in any business that he mav engage in. < Key.

(;orr<'*|K>nilciice ?>f the Vorkvillc Enquirer. Grover, N. C., July II.?The excitement over the murder of Mrs. R. G. Collins, at PJainville, Ua., formerly of this place, has j somewhat quieted down. Public opinion is j strong against the husband. Only a fow of I Collins's personal friends seem to entortain | . any hopes that he will ever come to trial, but | i think lie will be lynched as soon as ho is taken ' r back to Georgia. However, it will bo praeti- j (tally decided in a few days what the Georgia f people aro going to do about the case, as Col- j lins was taken from Shelby jail on Saturday last, and started back to Georgia escorted by j Shorill' McGinnis, to moet his fate. The Grover High school commenced this i ] morning under'the management of Mr. C. (.'. ' ' Hughes. The public seem to b.e alive and growing in the interest of education, and I predict for the school success. The free schools of Pyie Grovoaml Antioch 1 have been in session for the past week and are I reported to be in a flourishing condition under the management of their respective teachers, 5 Mr. R. A. Ilird and Mr. A. F. Sharne. I A good rain last night has saved the growing 1 crops and relieved the farmers of a great deal of anxiety. A good crop this year will put the ? farmers of this section out of debt, and leave them in better condition than for sevoral years s past. So far the prospect is good. r. p.* 11. C LETTER FROM"CLOVER. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. Clover, July 15.?The York County Medical association met at this place last Tuesday, with a small attendance. It was the first time this honorable body ever met in uiover, ana we regretted that there were not moro of them present. We would have been glad to have seen all the M. D's. of York county here at one time. i The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Clover Cotton Manufact uring company was ' hold in the academy building on Thursday last. = A largo majority of the stock was represented , and all seemed well pleased with the outlook. , The first skeins of yarn made by the mill were on exhibition. The yarn was spun the day before the meeting. The following were elected a board of directors for the next twelve c months: J. J. Wilson, J. R. Barron, T. P. e Whitesides, L. K. Armstrong, W. B. Smith, I A. H. Barnett, Dr. E. W. Pressly, J. L. Wrig h 1 and C. M. Parrot. Immediately after the ad- I journment of the stockholders' meeting, tho rJ directors met and re-elected W. B. Smith, pres- f: ident, and M. L. Smith, secretary and treasurer, S W. B. Stroup has torn down the old livery S and feed stables and otherwise cleaned off the J lot on which they stood, and is preparing to build a dwelling on the same. He has received several loads of lumber, and I understand the contractors will begin work in a few days. This will bean improvement in that part of town. On the adjoining lot south, stood a wood and work shop owned by Mr. M. L. Ford. He has torn away tho old building and put up a new one, which is another great improvement. ? While I am on the subject of improvements t in Clover, I will state that it is said that the a firm of Barron it Wright have bought a desir- f ible lot from W. B. Smith, and will soon bejin the erection of a large brick business house with all the latest conveniences. I am always jo pleased to note any improvement going on, that when this is completed I shall tell it again. Several wagon loads of home-raised water- c melons have been sold at this place. j. n. o. t LETTER FROM ROCK HILL. \ Correspondence of the Yorkvllle Enquirer. j Rock Hill, July 15.?While the surrounding country has had rain, this immediate sec- lion needs it.

Last Sunday two trains, loaded with melons, passed this place? me following the other at about 15 minutes in;erval. Just a few hundred feet after the first jection had crosssed the Catawba river bridge, i coupling broke. Being on a grade the ae- r ached cars ran back and were met by the sec- I md section. The engineer and fireman both s jaw that to jump from their engine was the n mly way to save their live3, as they saw the irst section coming back down grade. The _ mgine of the second section was badly damiged in the collision, and two cars containing vatermolons were smashed, as were the most of he melons. A number of our citizens visited a he scene of the wreck and enjoyed the water- Y nelons. The many friends of Dr. J. E. Massev regret o see his card withdrawing as a candidate for -y .he legislature. There are no less than six marriages among jj he old bachelors of our town reported to take jlaco soon, all of whom, after waiting a long p ime, will secure sweet and lovable wives.
