accordance with the petition, as granted.
But the people who favor the location at
Xeely's Ferry are not satisfied. They do
not think that they have had a proper
showing and they want the whole matter
re-opened. To this end they have
gotten up and sent to Clerk Brice, of the
board of cotnmi&sioners, the followingpetition
:
To the Honorable Board of County Commissioners
of York county:
We, the undersigned citizens of Fort
Mill township, hereby most respectfully
and earnestly petition your board to postpone
action in letting out the contract for
the Catawba bridge, and reconsider the
location selected by your board and give
us an opportunity to appear before you,
and we are satisfied that we can show to
your satisfaction and convince you that
the aforesaid bridge across the Catawba
river, has not been properly located. And
your petitioners will ever pray, etc.

The Case of Jaggers.
Charley Jaggers was taken from Spartanburg
jail to Gaffney City on Monday
for trial, on the charge of murdering Bob
Owens. At last accounts the case had not

Condition* of the Crops.
People from the western side of the
county who wentCMl* to Rock Hill last
Saturday, say that crops look rather better
up about Hickory Grove and Sharon,
than they do in the vicinity of Rock Hill.
Released on Bond.
Mr. Sam Neely, of Smith's Turnout,
who was committed to jail some weeks
ago to await the result of injuries he is
alleged to have inflicted on Mr. J. H.
Neely, was released by Magistrate Waters
last Friday evening on a bond of $500.
This Explains It.
Mr. Charlie Clarke, of the Wilson mine,
was in Yorkville yesterday, and the reporter
asked him as to whether or not
they had felt the earthquake shock out at
the mine on Monday. "What time was
it," he queried; "about 2 o'clock ?" "That
was the hour," the reporter replied, "Oh,
well thou," rejoined Mr. Clarke." with
an amused smile, "Of course we felt it;
but don't be alarmed. It was only caused
by the starting of our stamp mill!"
ruuiiu mo nnji
Mr. J. Palmer Moore, of Guthriesville,
advertised in last Wednesday's Enquirkr
for an estray filly. He told the reporter
on Monday that the advertisement
had gotten there. The filly had been
taken up in Chester couuty, some ten
miles or more away, by a Negro named
Sandy Pride. Sandy is not a subscriber
to The Enquirer; but there are some
subscribers in that neighborhood, the
same as in every other neighborhood of
this section, and one of them promptly
informed the colored man of the ownership
of the estray filly. But this case is
only one of hundreds. When an advertisement
in The Enquirer fails to bring
results it's a tough case.
At St. Paul's anil King's mountain.
Sunday, May 30th, the programme prepared
for "Children's Day" was observed
at St. Paul's church in the morning, at 11
a. m., and at King's Mountain chapel in
the afternoon at 3 o'clock. The young
people and children did their part well in
the recitations and the singing was good.
The pastor? Rev. J. W. Humbert?commented
on Epworth League, missions and
education. Congregations were large, attention
very good, and the order was excellent.
Upon the whole, Sunday was an
enjoyable aud profitable day at both
churches, and, no doubt, good seed was
sown that will bring forth spiritual fruit.
Fort Mill Manufacturing Company.
For Mill Times: A rumor has been
afloat for the past few weeks among the
hands employed by the Fort Mill Manufacturing
company, that the management
of the mill were considering closing down
for a short while; but at the meeting of
tne directors neui 1 nursuay, no such proposition
was discussed or even hinted at.
In fact, this mill is now in a more nourishing
condition, so one of the directors
says, than it has been for a long while.
The report made by the secretary was
very gratifying to the directors, and the
commission men assure them that tho
products of this mill are in a strong demand
just at this time.
Ueatli of Mrs. J. W. Iietts.
Mrs. J. W. Retts, whose illness has
been previously mentioned, died at the
home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. 1). T.
Leslie, near Leslie station, on Monday of
last week, and was buried in Xeely's
Creek cemetery on Tuesday, the services
being conducted by Rev. Oliver Johnson.
The deceased was a member of Neely's
Creek church, and all her life was a consistent
Christian. Her illness was due to
a complication of troubles which made
her sufferings long and tedious; but her
affliction was borne with a patient resignation
and fortitude that is only possible
in the light of the most implicit faith.
She was greatly beloved by a wide circle
of friends, ami the number of people who
went out to the funeral to pay their last
respects was unusually large, even for the
Christian neighborhood in which she
lived. Resides a bereaved husband, she
left six children, the eldest a daughter
aged 10, to mourn her loss. Mrs. Retts
was about -'ID years of age.
Karly Morning Fire.
The house on Cleveland avenue, occupied
by Mr. It. K. Montgomery, and
owned by Mr. Albert M. Withers, of
Columbia, was destroyed by fire early
last Monday morning at about 2.30 o'clock.
The lire was not discovered until after it
/
bad made considerable headway, and although
the fire department answered the
alarm promptly, it could accomplish but
little. Such of Mr. Montgomery's furniture
as was on the lower tloor was saved
in a more or less damaged condition ; but
a considerable quantity of personal property
on the upper floor, including two
trunks full of clothes, was destroyed.
Robert Adams, colored, was severely,
though probably not dangerously, injured
by being struck on the shoulder by a
falling stove flue. The building was
worth in the neighborhood of 31,000, and
was insured ; but for what amount the reporter
has been unable to learn.

Corresiondence of the Yorkville Enquirer.
Blacksburo, June 1.?The Rev. Mr.
Robinson, of Gaffney City, held a three
days' meeting here in the- Presbyterian
church?Friday,. Saturday and Sunday
last. Large congregations attended the
services, and on Sunday the holy communion
was celebrated.
As the people were going to their homes
Friday night, between the hours of 9 and
10 o'clock, they were startled by the cry
of fire, and it was soon discovered that
the dwelling at the corner of Lime and
Shelby streets, belonging to the estate of
M. R. Reese and formerly occupied by
him, was burning. Conductor John Box-1
tell, of the O. R. & C. road, has been
living in the bouse for several months, |
and he and his family having retired very
early, were sound asleep and unconscious
of their danger. They were quickly i
aroused, however, by their neighbors.
Very soon a large number of our citizens j
had gathered, and by prompt and welldirected
efforts the flames were soon
under control. The fire started in the
stoveroom?not from a defective flue this |
time; but in a wood box, setting near
the stc ve, which, from some cause, caught
tire and burned through the floor to the
sill and thence up the lathed partition
into the next room, where a bed was
standing, which also caught lire, but was
soon thrown out into the yard and the
tire extinguished. The house escaped
without much damage, thanks to the
hour of the night and the heroic efforts of
certain of our citizens; but the furniture
did not fare so well. The fire, and its
hasty removal into the street, damaged it
to a considerable extent; but we are all
thankful that the loss was so light.
Yesterday, about 2 o'clock, the sensation
of an earthquake shock was felt here,
and although it was not so decided and
severe as the one in 1886, yet it was quite
perceptible and shook the houses and
windows, and alarmed some of our people.
Invitations are out for the marriage of

Wakren, May 29.?Dry weather and
cool nights have somewhat retarded the
coming up of our crops; but since the refreshing
showers of the past few days, the
outlook is more encouraging. Hoe bands
have been* In great demand throughout
this section during the past ten days.
Chinch bugs are still at work on the
small grain in this section, and what little
wheat and oats we have, barely promises
to be worth harvesting.
We will have a series of meetings at
Antioch M. E. church, beginning on the
fifth Sunday, conducted by our pastor,
Rev. J. B. Harris, assisted by Rev. R. A.
Yongue, of East Chester.
A great many people from this place
are attending the Jones meeting at Rock
Hill. All report good preaching and excellent
music.
Mr. C. C. Bates and wife, of Charlotte,
X. C., have been visiting here for several
days.
Mr. S. E. Steele is somewhat ahead of
the average farmer this year. He was
hoeing some cotton the second time a
week ago. Hurrah for Uncle Ed !
Mr. J. A. Garrisou was taken seriously
ill while attending the meeting iu Rock
Hill several days ago, and, up to this
writing, bis condition has not beon such
as to warrant his removal home.
With the exception of the above case
and a lew cases of dysintery, the health
of the "ommunity is now very good.

ALL IN DOUBT.
Looks Like the State May Decide to Shut
Up Shop.
A dianatch of Motulav from Colum
hia, describes the position of Governor
Ellerbe ou the dispensary question as
follow 3:
Governor Ellerbe said several days
ago that if Judge Simonton decided
against the state in this case, he saw
no alternative but to close down the
dispensary. Today, however, he would
not make a defiuite statement, saying
he must cousult with the attorney general,
who will not reach the city until
tomorrow morning.
The governor said he was astonished
at the decision ; but was prepared for
its sweeping scope. It is clear that
the dispensary cannot be operated
at a profit under existing conditions,
and the state authorities do
not hope for a reversal of Judge
Simonton should they appeal. From
talking with the members of the board
of control, but two moves seem probable.
Either the dispensary will be closed
down or an extra session of the legislature
will be called to take what action
seems advisable on prohibition or high
license, as allowed in the new constitution.
It is claimed that should the
dispensary be closed by the governor,
prohibition would result, because this
decision annuls all of the law except
the first section, which prohibits the
sale or manufacture of liquor in this
state. The state has in the several
dispensaries about $350,000 worth of
liquor, which it will find difficult to
dispose of.
Tillman on 1 rusts.?Senator Tillman
writes to the New York Journal
about the sugar trust us follows:
The sinister influence of the sugur
trust over the senate is one that may
well excite the uneasiness and angry
disgust of every liberty-loviug American.
With equal facility, it appears to
control legislation in its interest, no
matter which party is in powet, and
the boldness with which its president
proclaims to monopolize the market
and fix the price of sugar, and the
coolness with which he announces the
enormous profits which have accrued,
make the average citizen wonder how
much longer the American people will
stand it. Chapman goes to jail, though
he orders his meals from the Arlington,
and bis cell is furnished most
luxuriautly ; but Havemeyer, the sugar
trust magnate, goes scot free under
practically a similar charge. The
Journal and other metropolitan papers
deserve great credit for having focussed
public attention on the sinister influences
surrounding the senate at this
lime. Let them continue the war on
trusts and trust influences and the
time will soon come when the people
will send a coneress here that will give
them relief from these infamous combinations
of capital that are debauching
all branches of the government.
Tribute to Mrs. Betts.?Writing
to the Rock Hill Herald from Harmony,
under date of May 25, Mr. W.
R. Hays speaks of the late Mrs. J. W.
Betts as follows :
"As I pen these lines I feel very sad
to learn that I have lost one of my
best friends, Mrs. James Betts. Did
I say lost ? Not lost; but goue before.
This good woman went home on the
24th at 10 o'clock in the morning, and
will no more come to us; but we may
go to see her. Thank the Lord that
she has been delivered from her afflictions.
She has been a great sufferer
for three years; but bore her suffering
like a lamb. She had many good
Christian marks, and the good book
says by these marks you shall know
them. Even in the midst of her sufferings
she always had a smile on her
face and was a friend to everybody
and everybody was a friend to her.
Now, husband and children, father
and mother, sisters and brothers, you
must not weep too much over the departure
of this good friend. The good
book says that there should be more
joy over the death of a good person
than was at her birth, and I know
that all vour sorrows must be mixed
with joy with this good mother's departure.
You have the Lord's words
for comfort: "Many are the afflictions
of the righteous ; but the Lord delivereth
them out of all." She has chauged
her suffering for life everlasting,
and is now, we hope, numbered with
those that are spoken of in Revelations,
seventh chapter, 9-14 verses.
May God bless her children. May their
father have a double portion of God's
grace given him that he may train up
those little ones that they may all
meet their mother in heaven when
time is no longer with them."
To Succeed Mcl.aurin.
Marion correspondence of The News
and Courier: The race for the vacant
seat in the house of Senator McLaurin's
is going to be "mighty interesting,"
especially for the people of Marion
couuty. Already two of her "favorite"
sons have been announced as certain
to be in the race. Comptroller
General James Norton and Solicitor
Johnson have numerous friends and
relatives in this county who will stick
to them to the bitter end, aud now
comes another Richmond in the field
in the person of the Hon. J. E. Ellerbe,
who no doubt will muke it
lively for Messrs. Norton and Johnson.
Mr. Ellerbe is a brother of Governor
Ellerbe. He is a fiue speaker,
well educated, aggressive, and is sanguine
of success. He is a farmer,
pure and Simple, and holds no office.
He says he will have to make his tight
"iu the open," having no bombproof
in the shape of an office to fall back
on in case of defeat, as is the case with
all of his present competitors. If Captain
D. W. McLaurin decides to entertain
the race, Marion will have four
candidates in the field, and how are
"the boys" going to decide among so
many of their personal and political
frieuds?
MERE-MENTION.
The Presbyterian General Assembly
was dissolved last Saturday, after a session
of ten days. The next meeting is to
be held in New Orleans. The New
York banks now hold $46,606,100 in excess
of the requirements of the 25 per cent.
rule. The homes of 1,800 people were
swept away by the Rio Grande at El Paso,
Texas, a few days ago. The Tredegar
Iron Works, of Richmond, Va., were the
lowest bidders on a contract to furnish
the government with 2,000 iron projectiles
for seacoast and siege cannon, a lew days
ago. The bids of the Tredegar company
ranged from $5.50 to $22 for each projectile,
according to size and quality.
There was snow throughout Wisconsin
and Michigan last Sunday. Sunday
last was the Federal "Decoration" day.
It was observed throughout the north and
in the south where Federal soldiers are
buried.

dollar preparation at our store for 85 cents,

IT IS long since that everybody has
known that J. H. RIDDLE sells the
very best quality of Family and Fancy

his goods at a fair price and that he expects

cannot undersell him and stay in business.
CLAY PEAS.
At J. II. RIDDLE'S you can find a limited
supply of Clay Peas, and he would
suggest to parties wanting them to lay in
their supply now, for later in the season
there is always a scarcity which affects
toe price.

you will find it to your interest to see
J. H. RIDDLE. He can surely quote
close figures and will supply you in large
or small quantities on short notice.
Plastering Hair, Lime, Cement
and Shingles.
Heretofore J. H. RIDDLE has kept
only Cement, Lime and Shingles; but by
constant demand he has been forced to
add to his building material a large quantity
PLASTERING HAIR, which in the
future you can expect to always find at
his place, and when contractors or large
buyers need any of these articles,they may
expect special prices.
Fruit Jars and Harrows.
Possibly Fruit Jars and Cotton Harrows
should not be put in the same classification
; but since the rains have come
you will need the harrows, and when the
fruit comes you will need the Jars, and
J. H. RIDDLE has them at bottom prices.

CAROLINA BUGGY CO.
NO BUCCY
ON THE MARKET
IS EQUAL to the CAROLINA BUGGY
at the price it is sold. It is not
only the best buggy built in the southern
states; but is also the best finished, in
painting and trimming, while its durability
is equal to almost any requirement.
The painting never allows it to present a
3hoddy, makeshift appearance at any
stage of its existence, while it is made to
sell, it is also made to satisfy the customer
and represent a value equal to the price
for which it is sold. It is LIGHT AND
STRONG and always built of the very
best material to be bad, and in all stages
of its construction it is passed through a
thorough, severe and critical inspection
by one whose first thought is to have it
built as nearpefection as human skill can
accomplish. We make them to order
or keeD them in stock, and it will be to
your interest to consult us when in need
of a vehicle.
THE CINCINNATI
BUCCY
Can always be purchased from us and at
almost any price. We can furnish them
in any style desired. When you purchase
a Cincinnati Buggy you had better
first get our price, for the reason that if
you don't you might throw money away.
We sell them at their true value only.
