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

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

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.

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. Win. Hunter, one of tho principals of ]
Huntersvillo, N. C., High school, spent several ]
days in our town last week. He spent most of |
his time with the family of Mr. J. X. McDill, |
\i T 1* Mi'Dill Imvinir itaan aha nf Mu nnnily
during the past scholastic year.
Rev. J. H. Peoples, of Lancaster, spent some 1
time with lis last week, among his A. R. 1'.
brethren. Rev. Mr. Peoples preached on Sunday
in the A. R. P. church, to a large congrega- i
tion. (
Services were also held in the Methodist |
church, which were well attended. The Sun- (
day-school at this church is growing into a 1
large and interesting school ; one of the best
tho church has ever had. rk.x.
LETTER FROM UROVER.
(;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

Rock Hill, July 15.?While the surrounding
country has had rain, this immediate sec- lion
needs it. Gardens and crops of every description
need rain.

There has been some complaint made against i
ho railroads for running watermelon, fruit and
regetable trains on Sunday. 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.
Miss Nannio Keesler, a most estimable young
ady, a former resident of our town, died in
Charlotte yesterday morning. Her remains *
vill be brought to this place for interment.
