The Ganson Dry Goods company is now moving into its handsome new storeroom, on the corner of Congrecsand Liberty streets. The room is one of the largest and best arranged in the upper part of the state, and it is being filled with goods from top to bottom and from end to end. Mr. M. F. Jones, secretary of the company and manager of the Yorkville branch, will occupy rooms above the store with his family. j^eu oiuici In another column, Mr. B. J. Herndon t announces that he has opened a general a mercantile business in his handsome new t storeroom. He will carry a miscellaneous 1 assortment of goods including almost ev- f erything tor which there is a market, s Mr. Herndon does not need any special I introduction to the people of this section, e either as a business man or as a citizen, t It is generally known that in either t capacity be is solid and substantial, all 1 wool and a yard wide, and.the public can r depend upon it that at his establishment s honest goods at honest prices will be the 1 invariable rule. I More Sensible. S The bad precedent recently established d by a majority of the town council in giv- c ing up a public sidewalk for private con- i venience, has been rectified by a little c common sense. Upon suggestion of War I den Parish, the steps up the side of the 1 Nichols building have been torn away t and, instead, a portico has been built from a the second floor so as to extend over the p sidewalk, and this is reached by steps s running up from the gutter on either side. By this arrangement, the sidewalk is left free and the entrance to the upper floor is safer and more convenient. The only space consumed is that over the gutter. 1 Looks Like Quibbling. The present town council says it will not levy more than 20 cents on the 3100. < Yes; that is right, for that is the extreme limit allowed by the charter under which t it is operating. But when the present L town council talks about "inheriting" a 1 debt frorrvtinother town council?which b other town council was itself?have we S not reason to believe that if the preseut b town council should become still another f town council, under another charter, it b will not then consider itself bound by e promises made when it was the present d town concil?

A number of ^ their friends and relatives attended from to Gastonia, and there were in all 60 or 75 a spectators of the pretty and impressive [ ceremony. Rev. J. C. Galloway, of Gas- > tonia, officiated in his most happy style, c The bride and groom took the Narrow e Guage train here last night for Tirzah. 1 We congratulate these young people, and I wish them much happiness along life's I pathway together. to Honest, Anyway. The reason given by Warden Parish for wanting a new charter, is the only ? tenable yet advanced. It is straightforward and honest. He wants ?2,000 with " ? which to work ou the streets, and purpo- A ses to raise it by increasing the tax levy. 8 But then, unfortunately for the position ^ of Warden Parish, he is entirely alone. ? Though the method he proposes is the 11 only way by which the money can be * raised, Inteudaut Lowry, and Wardens Moore and McElwee have said that they ; will not agree to any more than the pres- * ent levy of two mills, and so Mr. Parish's scheme won't go. 1 Who Mh(I? the Debt ? [ Inteudant Lowry gives as a reason for f the present financial strait of the town, a the fact that, when the present council t .came into office, it inherited a debt of t $1,4S0. Maybe so; but who made that v debt ? The administration of Intendant c O'Leary, a few years ago, was devoted t principally to the paymeut of the debts of c the former administrations, and when it v went out of office it lelt due not exceed- e ing ?400. This was the 29th of March, u 10s*n oiiivJW umi ume, WUU IUC cAtcpuuu j of Mr. Moore, who was off last year, j Messrs. Lowry, McElwee aud Moore j have continuously been members of the t town council. This is the second term c for Mr. Parish. So if a debt has been in- ^ herited, at least $1,080 of it was inherited t from a majority of the present council. r The Broken WuKlipot .Monument. The broken washpot monument refer- I red to by Mr. O'Leary in the town meet- 1 * ing the other night, is located at the cor- 1 ? ner ot Congress and Madison street; but e it is not doing business now. The water > has beeu cut off for some two months or 1 more. Just why nobody seems to know. I There is a livery stable near by and also f several private families who have cows * and horses. These used to get water free, c The fee of the town for watering cows 1 and horses on the premises of their own- 1 ers is 25 cents a head per quarter, and i the washpot monument, therefore, was of l great convenience to those who were in t reach of it. An effort was made to get the t livery stable man to take water on his premises for the use of his stock; but a with the monument so close, he did not a see tit to incur the expense. All at once i ;he free flow at the fountain was stopped, uid some of those who were inconvenienced, thought it was a bint that they jhould get their supplies from the town ind pay for the same. But this theory ivould not do, for free water is still being furnished elsewhere. The only reason fiven for stopping the flow of water at he broken washpot monument, was a ear that the constant dripping of the >vaste water might kill a shade tree?a swahip elm?near by! Ilei*?t by Footpad*. A case of highway robbery is reported :o have occurred on the streets of Yorkrille last Wednesda> night. The victim ivas Mr. D. A. Wiiittaker an aged white nan. While walking along Madison itreet near its intersection with congress street, shortly after dark, he was sudienly attacked by two Negro women. Dneof them seized his arms and held him ast, while the other went through his pockets, and took therefrom what money le had?91.75. As soon as they got the noney the women released their victim ind ran away. Mr. Whittakeratonce rejorted the matter to Polieceman Rose and that official hastened to make all possible nvestigation without result. Mr. Whitaker is a drinking man ; but on this occasion was not under the influence of iquor. Divided Into Wards. According to Major Hart, the most deiirable feature of the general incorporaion act is that which provides for the livision of the town into wards. That >eing the case, the major has no immeliate occasion for further worry. The own is now divided into wards for the nirposes of the board of health, and albough four members of the board of lealtb?Dr. W. G. White and Messrs. Tohn M. Hope, T. W. Clawson and R. B. LiOwry?are living in two wards, the disribution of the councilmen is rather beter. For instance, that portion of town ibove the intersection of King's Mounain and Charlotte streets is Ward 1, and in t resides Warden McElwee. The section roin there down, to Madison street, contitutes Ward 2, and in it resides Warden doore. The next section, down to Liberty street, constitutes Ward 3, and in it esides Warden Parish. The next secion, down to Jefferson street, constitutes Ward 4, and in it resides Intendant Low y ; and the next section, from Jefferson treet south, in which resides Warden 5ropst, constitutes Ward 5. It just hap)ened that way, of course; but since it so tands, where is the need for any immeliate change ? In the case of the board if health, the law requires one member n each ward ; but in the case of the town ouncil there is no such requirement. !t seems therefore that where there is a aw to govern, it is not followed, while be people are already doing of their own ccord that which the major would com?el them to do by law. Good lawyers ometimes talk funny, don't they ? BLACKSBURG BUDGET. 'he First Bale?Land and Improvement Company Meeting?Killed on the Kailroad?Other Notes. Correspondence of the Yorkvills Enquirer. Blacksburo, September 10.?The first ] >ale of cotton sold in this market was i irought in by Mr. Clayton Byars, on I Tuesday, the 7th instant. It was bought [ iy Mr. J. W. Duff at 8 cents a pound, i iinee then quite a quantity has been irought in, and the staple is opening very ust; but the promise of a large crop has icen dissipated by the cool, dry weath- ' r which suddenly came on us about ten lays ago. On Friday last, a called meeting of the lirectors of the Blacksburg Land and mprovemeut company was held at i Cherokee Inn. There were present, Presient S. Wittkowsky, of Charlotte; Judge . J. McLure, of Chester; Messrs. Jno. F. ones, Colonel J. L. Black, Secretary and t Measurer M. M. Freeman, Attorney N. V. Hardin, and W. Anderson,of Blacksmrg. Among other business transacted, n agency for the renting and selling of hat part of the company's valuable own- ' ugs known as the "Green tract," was reated, and N. W. Hardin, Esq., was lected to fill it. Wednesday morning, Flagman T. J. Jaber, of freight train No. 34, of the O. t. & C. road, left his wife and home for lis usual "run" to Camden. In about wo hours his mangled corpse was irought back on a special car sent by Sulerintendent Tripp to the place of the lilling, near Hopewell church, about four niles from Blacksburg. Magistrate A. >1. Bridges, acting as coroner, immeditely summoned a jury and held an in[uest over the body. The only witnesses fere three Negroes; two, who werestandng on the bank of the "cut" through k-hich the train was passing, saw the unortunate man falling between the catoose and a ilat car just in front, and Uex McElwee, the brakemau, to whom he other two signaled, and who "slowed lown" the engineer. The train was stop>ed, and when Conductor H. S. McLure eturned with his crew to the scene of the atal accident, tliey found the body lyiug cross one of the rails, partly cut in wo, and in a very badly inutilaed condition. The brakenian, McElwee, ras Bent back to report the terrible alamity to Superintendent Tripp, and he train, with the rest of the crew, preceded on its way. The Negroes, who vere the only eye-witnesses to the tragdy, remaining with the body until the rrival of the special. Such were the acts developed at the inquest, and the ury, of which Mr. J. W.

A. c THE POSITION OF COTTON. a Everything but Demand For Gondii, Points to a Rise. 1 The Atlanta Constitution. * According to tbe views of men whose experience entitles them to be called experts, the statistical position t of cotton is stronger today than it has I been for many years. In fact, there seems to be no conceivable reason why there should not be a marked ad- { vance in tbe price. d In the first week of the present cotton year the visible supply decreased, an event that is without parallel. The _ surplus has been almost entirely consumed. At the same period in 1895 the visible supply of American cotton y was more than 2,000,000 bales. At c present the supply in sight falls short r of a million bales. r The stock held in Europe must be comparatively small, for all of the new cotton in sight and some of the old surplus was absorbed last week. The American cotton mills are buying from 0 hand to mouth, as the saying is, in t their efforts to raise prices; but it s seems to us, in the very nature of * things, that such eflorts must prove c * ? 151 1 ? 4.1 truitless it, as now seems liaeiy, uuere r is an enhanced demand for cotton h goods. J Moreover, the free movement of the n crop from Texas, Louisiana and a part 1 of Mississippi is bound to ^ material- c ly interferred with by the yellow fever ? quarantine regulations, which will be a kept up until cold weather. 1 There is, therefore, no reason why ? the price of cotton should not show an early and a very material advance. The only thing that will prevent will be the lack of an increased demand for cotton goods. Many of the eastern mills still have large stocks of unsold goods on hand, and some of these have been added to by the anticipa- ^ tion of higher prices caused by the ^ tariff. Thus far, cotton goods have y made no material response to tariff ~ legislation nor to the increased and increasing symptoms of prosperity. "I When the respouse does come, The J Constitution hopes and believes that the price of the southern staple will a rise. ? All the conditions, except the demand for cotton goods, justify the rise, C) aud if the symptoms of prosperity are ? as substantial as they now seem to be, tl this demand is sure to come and that ^ within a very short time. The pros- c perity of the south depends in a great measure on the cotton crop, and we believe that a due share of the im- provement visible in other lines will make itself felt in the cotton market. J It SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS. F Charleston Klondike . Columbia Register: A. S. Emerson e] has just returned from the north where he went to make arrangements P to purchase a steamer to carry his ^ expedition to the Klondike gold coun- a] try. Mr. Emerson expects to carry a pi party of 300 to Alaska. The trip will ir be made in the early part of next ^ spring, the vessel leaving here about k the middle of February. It will take 01 about 60 days to make the trip ant! ^ the party will arrive at Dawson City C( just at the right time. While north j Mr. Emerson inspected several vessels n and made an offer on one which he ei thought was best suited.

Should the offer be accepted Mr. Em- { erson will go north again and clinch p the bargain. I Enjoined the Preacher. ? Union correspondence of the Colum- t bia State : There was rather a novel proceeding had before Judge D. A. Townsend here last Tuesday to make I! perpetual a temporary injunction, ti which enjoined one Choice H. Lee from any longer filling the position of pastor of Wyatt'9 chapel or any other church. It seems that sometime ugo a possible majority of the members of Wyatt's chapel resolved themselves into a court, tried Choice H. Lee, and expelled him. As usual, he had a O following, while he was not the choice of many. He aud his followers established another church, erected a church edifice, and he became their pastor and continued to preach. All of this seems to be regarded by the Wyatt chapel congregation as illegal. ? He having been expelled, is not regarded a member of the church ; there- 1 fore, has no right to preach the gospel, ^ Therefore the injunction. At the 25 heariug before Judge Townsend on ~ Tuesday, the plaintiff complainants were represented by Attorneys B. I. m i to.-n: tv ...... lUWIIbCUU ttuw ?f niiaui mtuuwau. a The complaint was quite voluminous, th The substance of the allegations was lhat Choice H. Lee had, by his unbe- \ coming conduct, become a thorn in Hi the side of the body politic, a source of tumult and cause of strife; that ? doubtless if he were allowed to con- ' tiuue in the work he would cause J bloodshed. J. A. Sawyer, Esq., of the hi law firm of Hydrick & Sawyer, repre- a seated the defendant, respondent. His ;[j return to the rule seemed complete. ^ He set out the fact that every Baptist a church was separate, distinct and independent, not subject to any other _ church. Every church controlled its own affairs. That a person could be H called as pastor and preach whether a tj member of the church or not. That ? therefore this action by the Wyatt V chapel congregation was null and P; void. That this court has no jurisdiction. The peculiar nature of this par icular case seeras to have no preceleut, all hough a number of text book lUthoriiies were quoted.

THERE is little doubt but that the day is uot far distant, when the superiority of the BABCOCK and SAYER & SCOVILL BUGGIES will be thoroughly appreciated by the intelligent buyers of this section. The Babcock is a different style buggy than our people have been accustomed to, hence the sales here have not yet been so numerous as the merits of the buggy entitle it and which are made in sections where it is known better. Doctors and Liverymen, as a rule, buy the best buggy on the market. The latter class usually buy one buggy to start with, and if it proves satisfactory, buy more.
