right of way condemned according to law. Something of a Problem. The outlook is that the management of the Charlotte road work is going to have quite a little problem to contend with at Fishing creek. Here there is a heavy bill on either side, sloping down into a bottom. The grading of the road will involve the cutting down of both hills, and probably a considerable fill in between, and the problem will be to provide for high water without endangering the bottom lands, either above or below. The matter is under consideration and will no doubt be satisfactorily solved. By Way of Comparison. The quantity of rock gathered together on the Charlotte road is far greater than has ever before been collected for any previous similar undertaking in thecountv. For instance, a gentleman who knows exactly what bo is talking about, informs the reporter that there is more rock in the first big pile, about half-a-mile beyond the corporate limits of town, than was used altogether between Newport and Ebenezer. Though neither one of the other two piles is as large as the first one, both of them together contain considerably more stone. The work of hauling rock for the three-mile stretch, however, is still going on and lacks a great deal of completion. Auction Sales. There were two auction sales of land last Monday?one by the clerk and the other by the sheriff. The sale by the sheriff was under a tax execution agaiust 100 acres of land, more or less, situated on the headquarters of Clark's Fork, in King's Mountain township, and levied on as the property of (*. D. Heath. The property was bid off by D. E. Finley, Esq., for $11.81, the amount of the taxei, penalties and costs duo. Under foreclosure, in the case of John F. Ward, plaintiff, against Sallie C. Leonard, the clerk sold a lot in the town of Fort Mill consisting of one acre and one-fourth. Bought by Lee Armstrong for$G50. Ask For a Detailed Statement. If the public meeting of citizens to be held in the courthouse tonight would disclose one of the bugs under the chip, let it ask for a detailed statement of the town's financial transactions for the past few years. The statements which have beeu published from time to time have only dealt in vague generalities, which gave 110 idea of where mouey has been comiug from or to where it has been going. Let the meeting ask for a full statement of the sources of all receipts, and let it insist on knowing for what the money has been paid and to whom. It may be impracticable to get up all this information for tonight's meeting ; but its importance is sufficient to justify another adjourned meeting for the especial consideration of the matter. If this is done, the people will be able to understand a great many things which have not heretofore been exactly clear. N'.cliolit In Charge of Both. Lancaster special of. Saturday to the Charlotte Observer says: The following changes were made this week in the official organization of the Lancaster and Chester railroad : Colonel Leroy Springs is president and general manager; W. H. Hardin, former general manager, becomes vice-president and auditor; Mr. L. T. Nichols becomes general superintendent, and will have immediate charge of the operation of the road. Mr. Nichols is already superintendent of the Carolina and North-Western, with which the Lancaster and Chester connects. Mr. Nichols's track foreman, trestle foreman, and other subordinate officers on the Carolina and North-Western (formerly Chester and Lenoir) railroad, will have corresponding authority and positions on the Lancaster and Chester, the expense being divided pro rata between the two roads. Presi dent Springs purchased lately a new locomotive and 25 new cars for his line. He left here today for a trip north. The HlMlrttvllle Picnic. There was quite a large crowd at the Blairsville picnic last Saturday, and a good deal of speaking. I)r. Strait failed to put in his appearance, though it is understood that he had accepted the invita tion of the committee to be present. D. E. Finley, Esq,, was the first speaker, and talked interestingly about various matters, political, social, religious and educational. He was followed by Captain W. H. Edwards, whose remarks also took a wide range. He devoted sometime to the denunciation of the yellowback novel. Mr. James Cansler was the last speaker. His talk was principally at the expense of the other two speakers, and especially of Captain Edwards. Among other things, Mr. Cansler took occasion to tell his hearers that he was one of the best men in York county, and that he is again a candidate for the ollioe of superintendent of education. IIis speech provoked a great deal of merriment. There was plenty to eat at the picnic, and the day was very pleasantly spent. A Cool Swindler. Quite a number of people who went from this section on Ramseur's northern excursion, returned home last week, and most of them are very emphatic in their denunciation of the methods of the wellknown excursion manager. Among other things, Captain Ramseur had advertised very positively and very extensively that he had made every arrangement for the prompt transfer of his passengers from Portsmouth to Baltimore by boat. When the crowd got to Portsmouth, however, it developed that no such arrangements had been made. There was no accommodation beyond the regular boat which plies between the two points, anil as it could not carry more than half the crowd, some 200 or more were left to stop over in Portsmouth and pay hotel expenses until the next trip?some 2-i hours later. If this were Captain Ramseur's first and only slip-up, there would be a disposition to excuse him ; but his short comings during the past lour or live years have been so numerous and varied, that there is no longer any reason to doubt that he is a continued humbug and sharper, in whom no reliance whatever can be placed. It is his practice to play the people for "suckers" and he generally catches pretty full strings, l'rlce of Cotton. Tun Knqvikkr is instructed to quote cotton today at from (it to 7 cents. The market generally is in a rather uncertain condition, and buyers hardly know where they are at. September futures are selling in New Orleans at 0.(81, and in New York at 7.12. The New York and New Orleans prices are based on the Liverpool price, and in ordinary years this would govern; but this year such a probability does not necessarily follow. The visible supply at the present time is smaller than it has been for years, and all the American mills have run short. The mill men generally realize the desirability of stocking up on the particular kinds of cotton they want to use, and this may probably bring about a competition which will raise prices higher than they will bo otherwise. The opinion that this year's crop is unusually largo is still freely ex pressed; but, then, again, this fact is discounted somewhat on account of the famine and eonseq uont failure of crops in India. There is a prevalent local feeling that the opening price this season will be unusually low ; but within a month or two, it will bo considerably higher. Hut this, of course, is a mere matter of opinion which may or may not prove correct, and there is in sight no positive information of value to be offered. It is the, probability that it will be at least a week or 10 days before the market begins to show any special activity. BLACKSBURG BUDGET. CnHnn Crnii OIT Serlniixlv?Graded ScllOol Teachers?Pernonal and Other Notes. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. Bl\cksbur?, September 7.?The severe hail storm which came on us last week, the dry and cool weather which followed it, and the rust in some localities, have injured the cotton crop in this section very considerably. There seems to have been a general collapse, and what promised to be the best crop for several years past, has suddenly fallen far short of our expectations. Our graded school trustees have elected the following teachers: Mr. E. B. Foekler, North East, Md., superintendent; B. W. Wait, Barnwell; Miss Anabel Johnson, Union; Miss Flora K. Chapman, Anderson, and Miss Sallie C. Carwile, Johnson. All of them have very fine testimonials, and I feel sure that our trustees have made excellent selections. Superintendent A. Tripp and General Passenger and Freight Agent S. B. Lumpkin, of the O. R. it C. road, are in Charleston on some important business in connection with their road. The Cherokee Falls Manufacturing company are building a new dam across Broad river, about 50 feet below the old one, which will not only be shorter, and will cost less than the old one; but will throw considerably more water into the race, which at this season of the year is needed, as the river is very low.

According to time honored custom, the White Rose C. L. S. C. of Yorkville, held its annual preliminary meeting on the evening of the 6th instant, for the pur-j pose of reorganization and the election of members and officers for the ensuing year. The meeting was very poorly attended, and, consequently, the customary enthusiasm was somewhat lacking. However, a few determined members decided that it was a duty incumbent upon them that the circle should continue its beneficent influence, and, alter some discussion relative to a continuation as a circle, a reorganization was effected. An election was then entered into for th" selection of officers, which resulted as foiows: Ml.ss Maggie Gist, president; Mis. W. B. Moore, vice president; Miss I.essie Witherspoon, recording secretary; Dr. M. W. White, troAsurer; C. P. Lowrance, corresponding secretary. The fol lowing were enroueti jv-t niemucia. kha W. 15.

The circle will hold a called meeting on next Monday evening, for the purpose of deciding upon the substitution of one or tnore studies instead of a portion of the regular prescribed course. The circle is now in its ninth year, and during its existence has been an inspiration and incentive to many to add to their storo of knowledge. M. w. w. SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS. To Succeed Mnylield. Mr. Robert Aldrich has been elected state senator from Bamberg county, to succeed Hon. S. G. Mayfield, who resigned recently on account of his candidacy for the United States senate. Beat Them All. All of the congressmen in this state save Talbert, worked against McLaurin ; yet McLaurin carried every congressional district and the home county of every congressman, except Wilson and Wilson's county he 'ost by only a small majority. Will Dance In the StatehouMe. The annual ball of the South Carolina club used to be given in the statehouse up to 1890. Since that time the club has been holding its ball elsewhere or not at all. But hereafter the statehouse will be brought into use again. At the last session of the general assembly, a joint resolution was adopt ed providing for suoh an arrangement, and upon inquiry of the secretary of state, Attorney General Barber has written a letter in which he expresses the opinion that the secretary has no discretion other than to allow the use of the statehouse for the purpose referred to. A Case of Witchcraft. Greenville News: Magistrate R. B. Ligon, who was in the city yesterday, was busy telling his friends about a novel case that would come up for trial before him in a few days. He is to investigate a case of witchcraft conjuring, hoodooing or some kind of Negro devilty. The prosecutor is a husband and the defendant is his wife. The prosecutor claims that his wife has bewitched him. There is no law that forbids a woman being bewitching ; but still the trial will be had with all the formality of any other trial. Counsel has been employed on both sides and a very exciting time is expected at the trial. The prosecutor has in his possession a small bundle of indescribable ingredients which he claims is the magic cunjure bag. This will be produced in evidence at the trial. Talk of Mandamus. The State, Monday : Not a little discussion is being caused by the delay in the announcement as to what action is to be taken in the matter of levying of : ho special tax provided for in the state constitution necessary to raise $8 per capita for the children attending the public schools of the state. Sometime ago the comptroller general took the matter up and referred it to the attorney general for his opinion as to what powers the tax-levying authority had. In various forms the matter has been hanging fire. It is said that unless something is done several who are interested in the matter will proceed against the comptroller by mandamus. Colonel R. B. Watsou, of Ridge Spring, who pushed the fight in the constitutional convention for the provision, stated a few days ago that he was exceedingly auxious to know what was going to be done. He stated further that he did not propose to have the fruits of the tight then iougnt, anu won to be lost to the school children, and intimated very strongly that he and others proposed to take a band, unless something was done shortly. Death of Mf\jor Thomas Mills. Columbia State : Major Thomas S. Mills died at his home in Chester last Thursday night in the 68th year of his age. He was stricken with a partial paralysis, brought on by Bright's disease, some 14 mouths ago, and has lain upon a suffering bed of illness ever since. Major Mills has lived in Chester nearly all his life, where he has made a host of strong friends by his pleasing address and honest and straightforward dealings with his fellowman. For a number of years after the war he conducted a most prosperous cotton business in this sectiou for the firm of Geo. H. McFadden & Bro., of Philadelphia, which business he was actively engaged in until four years ago, when he retired from business and entered the shade of a quiet life. His war record stands out distinctly as a brilliant one. He was in the first fight at Charleston, when the war broke out, and was found at his post of duty when a settlement was made at Appomattox. He was "Fighting Dick Anderson's" adjutant general and was the first officer of the Confederacy sent to the field of action during the maneuvres around Charleston. Major Mills was in all a brave, fiery, courageous aud gallant soldier, he was ever ready when duty called aud was always found iu the front ranks iu most of the fiercest battles of the Confederate war. He was wounded several times, and at the battle of Seven Pines his horse was shot from under him. Since the war he has tuken a great interest in military affairs in this state. In '86 he was a candidate before the executive committee against Farley and Bonham to succeed General Manigault, and came within one vote of being appointed. He leaves a wife and a large number of relatives and friends to mourn his loss. The luueral services were conducted at the house by the Rev. Jas. S. Moffatt. MERE-MENTION. The exports from the United States for the month of July, 1897, amounted to $69,1)25,770, an increase of $4,800,000 over July, 1890. There has been a further decline in the price of silver and the value of the bullion in a dollar is now worth only 40 cents. Twelve miners were killed in the Sunshine coal mine I near Glenwood Springs, Colorado, last Saturday, by an explosion of coal dust. President Seth Low, of Columbia [university, has accepted a nomination for mayor of Greater New York. President MoKinley and party are traveling through Ohio, and are having a big time of it. 1,280 bales of compressed cotton were destroyed by fire in New York last Sunday. It is reported that the big coal strike will probably come to an end sometime next week on the hasis of a compromise. Yellow Fever in Mississippi.? Yellow fever has been epidemic at Ocean Springs, Miss., during the past few weeks. There have been several hundred cases of the disease ; but, up to last Sunday, very few deaths, and people were in doubt as to the nature of the epidemic. Committees, however, from the Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi boards of health have, after a careful investigation, pronounced the disease to be yellow fever, and the surrounding towns have quarantined against Ocean Springs. Great alarm exists throughout the whole surrounding section. AT THE CHURCHES. baptist. Sunday Srrvicks.?Sunday school at 4 o'clock. associate reformed. Rev. Boyce II. Grier, pastor.

Now, Joe, possibly you may like some other clothing man better than you like Mr. Strauss, and on account of this love, you give up three dollars without getting value received in return, besides your first consideration is for your family. I tell you Joe, you can save money by buying your clothing at Mr. Strauss's, and I believe you will be a benefactor to all your friends if you will call their attention to his tremendous stock of gentlemen's clothing, together with the low prices at which it is marked. And, Joe^ his Shoes of all grades and for all ages ana sexes are marked dowh to the bottom of low prices, and it is onr duty to every neighbor and friend to tell them that by all means that they should trade with H.
