COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
The county board of commissioners
held its regular quarterly meeting on
last Monday and disposed of various
matters of more or less public interest.
An application to make public a
road in Fort Mill township that leads
to the Lancaster county line, was
granted on condition that the road
shall also be made public in Lancaster
county.
Several petitions for bridges were
read and consideration was postponed
until further information could be
secured.
At a meeting sometime ago, it was
agreed that all accounts, the particu- '
lars of which were fully understood
ttio cnnorvicnr and clerk, mifrht be
"J """ J O
paid by those officials without reference
to the county board. Upon motion
of Commissioner Wilkerson, this
arrangement was modified so as to
provide that the supervisor keep a
record of all accounts approved, which
record would be subject to examination
at regular meetings of the board.
After some discussion of the matter,
upon motion of Commissioner White,
the board resolved to let out to the
lowest bidder, the contract to publish
such notices as the law requires the
treasurer, auditor and superintendent
of education to publish. The clerk
was instructed to notify the publishers
of newspapers of the action of the
board, and auother meeting is to be
held on next Tuesday to consider the
bids.
It was not convenient for The Enquirer
to have a reporter at the meeting,
and the above information is as
procured from members afterward.
#
BANKS CONSOLIDATE.
Just as The Enquirer went to
press last Friday afternoon, there
came a message from our Rock Hill
correspondent announcing the consolidation
of the National Bank of
Rock Hill with the Savings Bank
of the same place, under the name
of the ''National Union Bank of
Rock Hill."
The consolidation is to take effect
on August 1, after which date the
officers of the new institution will
be as follows: W. L. Roddey, president;
T. L. Johnson and D. Hutchisou,
vice presidents; R. Lee Kerr,
cashier; L. C. Harrison, assistant
cashier ; George White and Paul
Workman, bookkeepers; W. L. Roddey,
D. Hutchison, J. R. London, W.
J. Roddey, J. M. Cherry, T. L. Johnson,
R. T. Fewell, J. E. Roddey, W. C.
Hutchisou, J. H. Miller, T. A. Crawford
and W. J. Rawlinson, directors.
The capital stock is to be $120,000,
and the business, of course, will be
couducted on the same broad lines as
heretofore. This fact is guaranteed
by the circumstance that all of the
capable aud efficient officers of both
banks continue with the new institution.
And again, while competition
ordinarily makes people more polite
aud attentive to the wants of customers,
there is no reason to expect in the
policy of the National Union bank,
any change from the liberal policy
that has all along characterized the
Hock Hill banks. Aside from the fact
that the officials are thoroughbreds,
who do not have to be made to do
what is right, they recoguize that they
are still in competition with the world.
Both of these institutions now have
accounts with customers in Fort Mill,
Chester, Lancaster, Yorkville, and, in
fact, nearly every business point in
York county, and with both Kerr and
Harrison, progress is a tine art. The
consolidation, therefore, means still
more rapid growth aud development.
GEXEHAL SESSIONS.
The summer term of the court of
general sessions for York county convened
in Yorkville last Monday, his
Honor Judge I). A. Townsend presiding
; Solicitor Henry representing the
State, Stenographer jue<;aw taxing
the testimony, and the sheriil' and
clerk, with the usual constables in
their places.
Judge Townsend was not disposed
to set aside business for pleasure, and
everybody being willing, be set out to
celebrate the glorious Fourth with a
good day's work, and he did it. Had
it not beeu for the fact that iu some
felony cases the lawyers were not
ready, and under the law had the
right to claim time, he would have
probably cleared the docket before
the close of the day.
The graud jurors were on hand and
all the petit jurors were also present
except \V. B. Kerr, who was excused.
His honor charged the grand jury
very briefly and at once got down to
busiuess.
Julia White was found guilty of assault
and battery of a high and aggravated
nature und was sentenced to
pay a fine of $35 or be imprisoned for
four months.
Rufus Moore plead guilty to the
charge of housebreaking and larceny
and was sentenced to three months on
the chaingang.
Eb Patten, charged with assault and
battery with intent to kill, was acquitted.
Jim Garrison was convicted of violating
the dispensary law and was sentenced
to pay a fine of $250 or go the
chaingang for one year.
Rufus Adger was convicted of violation
of the dispensary law and sentenced
to pay a fine of $135 or go to
the chaingang for 11 months.
John White was convicted of violating
the dispensary law and was sentenced
to pay a fine of $100 or go to
the chaingang for three months.
Amv Buchanan was tried on the
charges of maintaining a nuisance and
violation of the dispensary law and
convicted on both counts. At 12
o'clock Tuesday sentence had not been
passed.
George Hines and Reese Joiner plead
guilty to handling liquor in the night
time. They were each sentenced to
pay a fine of $100 or go to the chaingang
for three months ; but were allowed
until November 1, to get up the
money, provided they gave proper
bond in the meantime.
'When the forms of The Enquirer
were closed, Joe Williams and Gilson
Richards were on trail charged with
the burning of Mr. John Starr's barn.
The grand jury was discharged before
adjournment Tuesday forenoon.
ROCK HILL RACES.
The bicycle races, under the auspices
of the Rock Hill Athletic association,
came off on the association's
track on Monday afternoon, and barring
hindrances over which the association
had no control, were a great
success.
The first hindrance was the failure
of as large an audience as had been
hoped for to materialize. This was
due to the fact that Gaffney and
Shelby both celebrated the "Glorious
Fourth" and had advertised their respective
attractions liberally along the
line of the 0. R. & C. railroad, and an
excursion train took many to those
towns who might otherwise have gone
to Rock Hill. There were about 400
present, who paid for admission to the
grand stand, and not less than 150
deadbeats occupied seats on the fence
which enclosed the track.
The second hindrance, and a serious
one for the riders, was the bad condition
of the track, due to inability of
the association to make it hard and
firm by reason of the long continued
dry weather, and no means of getting
water on it. In one or two places the
wheels would sink in dry, soft dirt to
the depth of the tires.
There were 18 entries?all from
South Carolina?as follows: Marion,
2 ; Chester, 4 ; Fort Mill, 5 ; Rock Hill,
5 ; Lancaster, 1 ; Yorkville, 1.
The first event was a half mile open,
and the following riders qualified : S.
R. Goza, Rock Hill; J. D. Murchisou,
Marion ; F. K. Spratt, Chester; S. L.
Meacham, Fort Mill; W. Ben Ardrey,
Fort Mill. The riders were started
off in good shape, but when the turn
on the back stretch was reached, Goza,
who was in the rear, started to
make a spurt and was gaining on the
others, when his wheel ran into the
soft dirt, and caused him to lose control
of it. He went on perhaps 15
yards, climbed up the embankment
and was thrown headlong against a
Neerro laborer who had been engaged
iu scraping the track, and Mr. ^Goza,
the "coon" and the wheel, all went
down together, knocking the senses
out of the two former. Mr. Goza was
unconscious for a few moments and
was so seriously bruised that he was
unable to take part in any of the subsequent
races, much to the regret of
his many admirers. As the remaining
riders were getting down to their
work on the second lap, Meacham ran
into Spratt and both fell, sustaining
slight bruises and losing their chances
iu the race.
Another important feature of the
races was the development of the fact
that Johu Ardrey, the county champion,
has a dangerous rival in Sam
Meacham, and that from now ou the
fight will be warm and close. As will
be seen by the official summary, the
third race was won by Meacham with
Ardrey second, and the five mile handicap
was won by Ardrey with Meacham
second. In neither instance did
the wiuuer have more thau 18 inches
lead.
Following is the summary: Race

southeast of Bethesda church, were i
destroyed by fire last Thursday night. '
Four head of horses and mules were I

to the feeding of the stock himself 1
and the fire was discovered about half <
an hour afterward. The origin of the
fire is unknown.
Drowned While Bathing.
A Negro named Limus McCully, '
aged about 19, was drowned in Riddle's
mill pond last Saturday while
bathing. He was either unable to !
swim at all or very poorly, and in at- 1
tempting to go across the pond, got !
beyond his depth. The only witness 1
was a small Negro boy who could
give him no assistauce. The boy gave
the alarm, and in about an hour afterward
the body was recovered. Mc- <
Cully lived at Bowling Green. 'J

Attempted Suicide.
Rock Hill Herald, Saturday: Mrs. <
Jane Goodson, who lives near the
Standard mills, tried to commit suicide
by taking two ounces of lauda- 1
num last Wednesday afternoon. She
bad purchased one ounce from M. H.
Sandifer and dank that in the store of 1
L. M. Davis, saying to Mr. Dozier at
the time, that if one bottle would not
kill her two would. She then left and 1
went to the store of R. P. Boyd & Co.,
and bought another ounce. Mr. Do- .
zier followed, but too late. The wo- (
man went to the well in the lot of A.
Friedheim & Co., and drank the poison.
She left, and when near the ?
street car bridge over the railroad, be- (
gau to reel and finally got down. Dr. !
Massey was summoned, and, working
with her faithfully, succeeded in saving
her life. The woman was crazed because
of the conduct of her daughter,
a girl about 15 years old, over
whom, she said, a man named Barn- {
hill had too much influence.
MERE-MENTION'.
It is about settled that there will be
a third call for volunteers, but it will '
not be for two weeks yet. The
Madrid story that Cnmara's fleet had 1
passed through the Suez canal turned
out to be untrue. The fleet is still in
Egyptian waters. Spain expected *
a 1.1 i i- _r l :.. ?L..
10 get iwo suipioatis 01 cuui in uic j
Mediterranean sea. The United States (
slipped m ahead and bought both of
them. Nicholas Fish, the father 1
of Hamilton Fish, who was killed at
La Quasina, has sent an undertaker to .
Cuba to prepare the remains of his son
for shipment to the United States.
Spanish newspapers giving an account 1
of the battle of La Quasina, say that
10,000 Americans were engaged against
4,000 Spaniards. They place the '
Spanish loss at 2(55 killed and wound- ,
ed. The steamship on which Gen- ]
eral Merritt sailed for the Philippines, ;
carried $3,000,000 in gold with which '
to pay troops and for other purposes. ,
? The regulars of General Shafter's
army had to go to Cuba in their ordinary
heavy blue uniforms. It was
hard on the men, and the war depart
ment greatly regrets the matter; but .
it could not be helped. After all, it
must be remembered that the development
of this war was very sudden,
and the most remarkable thing about
it is not what has not been accomplished
; but the wonders which have
been accomplished within the past j
two mouths. 1

NEWS OP TUESDAY
Summary of War Developments
Up to 5 O'Cloek P. M.
By Telegraph to The Yorkvllle Enquirer.
Santiago Still Stubborn.
Washington, July 5.?Advices received
tins morning frotn Siboney sire to the
effect that the American forces were in
position before Santiago, prepared to bearin
the bombardment at noon unless
General Shaffer should receive notice of
capitulation at or before that hour. This
tvas not thought to be likely and the
bombardment was fully expected.
The statement yesterday that Pando
bad reached Santiago with 5,000 reinforcements,
uuopposed by General Garcia,
cfffinfirmo/l tnHav f4onpral fviireia ouirl
that his force was too small to cope with
that of Paiulo.
General Shafter feels disappointed at
:he request of foreign consuls for 24 hours'
delay in the commencement of the bombardment.
This has served to complicate
the situation. Had the assault on the
city been commenced in accordance with
liis original plans, he thinks that the arrival
of Pando could have been prevented.
Now the Spaniards are likely to feel encouraged
to further stubborn resistance
md may make a desperate sortie. This,
no one believes, will be successful; but it
can easily resultin much additional lossof
life which need not otherwise have occurred.
The general, however, is confident
of his ability to hold the position he
now occupies, and to continue his advance.
The bombardment, in case it shall be
necessary, is to be participated in also by
:he fleet. Admiral Sampson has beou
making his arrangements this morning.
Under a heavy fire from Morro, Cayo
Smith and Socapa, he succeeded in exploding
several mines at the entrance to
;he channel of the inner harbor of Sandago,
and he may enter.
Cruiser Burned.
New York, July 5.?A London cable
lays that the cruiser Alfonso XII was
destroyed by fire in Cadiz harbor today.
Re-Inforcements to Re Rushed.
The war department is directing its en:ire;energies
to the shipment of 10,000 renforcements
to Shatter. It is expected
hat they will be landed at Santiago withn
a week. Several thousand will be em
DarK ea at unarieston.
Probably True.
New York, July 5.?The Evening
Journal reports that Sampson entered
Santiago harbor this morning a few miniates
before noon.
Spaniards Are Hemmed In.
Hong Kong, July 5.?The latest advi;es
from Manila tell of a vigorous sortie
ay the Spaniards, which was repulsed by
,be insurgents with much slaughter.
Fooling the Home Folks.
Madrid, by way of London, July 5.?
Seneral Blanco cables from Havana that
Cervera made a successful dash through
.he American blockading lino and escaped
with all his ships except two torpedo
boats.
Note?Up to 5 p. m. it was still impracicablo
to learn whether the assault on
Santiago had been resumed. It is probable,
however, that the city has refused to
japitulate.?En. Enquirer.

CAROLINA BUGGY COT
In the Fields of
Human Endeavors
THERE is always one man or firm
which rises to the TOP and overshadows
the rest. There are other proinnont
and reliable men in the same lines;
jut one stands head and shoulders above
.hem all. In electricity?Edison ; in piinos?Stein
way ; in the drama?Shakspeare;
in dress-making?Worth. It is
so in the buggy trade.
In the Southern States,
We are Unquestioned
Leaders.
We have built up a large establishment
in the manufacture of buggies of all
kinds. Our supremacy has been attained
by conscientious and painstaking enlea
vor to satisfy our customers in every
respect whatever; to treat them eourtsouslv
: to give them more for their inon
ey than they can pet elsewhere.
Quality First,
Price Second.
Never since our organization have
we put quality below the danger limit
in order to sell at what are said to be
"cheap" prices. However, the general
depression in the price of material has
made it possible for us to sell at a much
lower price than heretofore.
Do tho proper thing. Buy a Carolina
Buggy and be happy.
