elders came into that town for refug having been run out of the coallnj ground section by whitecappers. The * claimed to have been stripped an whipped, after which their tormentor turned them loose with the advice tha they could do no better for their fu ture welfare than to leave the countr; within 24 hours. These elders claime* to have recognized some of the mei who were in the regulating crowd and they applied to Magistrate Brldg es for warrants. In the exercise of hi: discretion, however, the magistrate re fused to comply, and a matter o y a friendly tip. certain citizens suggest ed to the elders that it would be i good idea for them to leave out in ac cordanoe with the schedule suggestei by their friends in the coaling grounds One morning recently, a squad o three elders having been run int( Blacksburg on the previous day, i gentleman of the town discovered, o thought he had discovered, that i quantity of seed cotton had been stolei from his cotton house. The alarm wa: raised and hounds were put on th< trail. The trail was too cold, and th< hounds did no good. More careful in vestigation later developed that, afte: all, no cotton had been stolen. It ha< only been packed * down considerably There were three deep depressions ii the pile, and the investigators reason ed out the fact that these were th< beds in which the visiting elders o: the day before had spent the'night. Prom all information obtainable, th< Mormons have not left the neighbor hood. They are still hiding about ii the homes of their converts, and thej propose to hold their ground as well ai they can. The white cappers, too, ar< still on the trail, and the issue stil lacks a great deal of settlement. WITHIN inb IVn 11. ? Mr. W. T.

Basmajian, an Arme nian, is spending a few days anion; the religious people of Yorkvllle. H< arrived in town Thursday mornin; and will be here at least until nex Sunday. Mr. Basmajian was born ii Adrianople. Turkey In Asia, of Arme nian parentage, and was educated bj Protestant missionaries. He came t< America in 1886 and was graduate* from Crozer Theological seminary a Chester, Pa., in 1889. He was subse quently ordained to the Baptist min istry and in due time became a natu ralized citizen of the United States He has a family in Boston. Mass. H< says it is his desire to return to Tur key as a missionary: but is waiting fo: the time when our government shal succeed in forcing the Turkish govern ment to recognize naturalized Amer leans as citizens, as having passe* from under Turkish jurisdiction. Mr Basmajian speaks English fluently and is an interesting talker. He en * tertained the pupils of the grade* school yesterday morning with a shor lecture about educational matters ii his native land. He will try to sing ii all of the Sunday schools tomorrow and will preach tomorrow .night ii the baptist church on the subject "Cross vs. Crescent."

The home of Mr. and Mrs. L. R Williams, of Yorkvllle, was the scen< on last Wednesday evening, of one o: the prettiest weddings ever witnessed in Yorkvllle. The occasion was th< marriage of their eldest daughter. Mis; Addle, to Mr. William Walter Miller of Rock Hill. Great pride and pains had been taken by Miss Williams's friends in the decorations and the ef feet was quite pretty and artistic.-ATlu stairway leading to the marriage room was carpeted with white, which con trasted strikingly with the heavy bank ing of ivy on the balustrade. The hal was decorated with ferns and red roses the lights being softened into a pini glow. Ferns and pink roses wen toe minor decorations of the marriagi room, the main feature being the arcl under which the bridal couple was t< stand. This arch was made of th< graceful clematis vine, and behind thi; was a massive bank of palms. A larg< horse-shoe of white chrysanthemum was suspended from the top of th' arch and betokened the nature of th wishes for the contracting parties. Th effect in this room. too. was very mud enhanced by a deep pink light. Th dining room was not prettier than th one just described; but it was equall; as pretty, with its white flowers, whit tables, and green hangings. The fea tures of this room were the pyramids centre-piece of bride's roses and fern on the bride's table, the bride's heart shaped cake, and especially the rose , with which the entire room was trims med, and which were most beautiful. Promptly at 8 o'clock the notes of the ^ piano announced the entrance of the d party. The ushers?Mr. Joe Gaston, of s Rock Hill, and Dr. Fred Williams, of t Yorkville?entered first, taking their . places, one on each side of the arch. Then came the bridesmaids, Miss Car? rie Neisler, of Rock Hill, and Miss Salne Castor, of Concord, N. C., whosepa arated and stood, one by each usher. [ These were followed by the groomsmen?Messrs. Charles Crietzburg, of I Rock Hill, and Thos. Thomasson, of I 3 Yorkville?who completed the trio on - each side of the arch. Finally, the f bride and groom, who passed between _ the trios, and upon reaching the arch turned and faced the assembled guests. Rev. Boyce H. Grier, of this place, af" ter a few very appropriate words pro3 nounced the couple husband arid wife, i. Miss Daisy Mays, of Charlotte, who f played Mendelssohn's Wedding March during the entrance of the party, continued to play softly during the cere1 mony, and this made the scene all the r more impressive. After congratulai tions the bridal party led the way to the 1 dining room, where delightful refreshments were served. The bridesmaids wore very attractive dresses of white B organdie, very much trimmed with lace e and ribbon, and carried handsome bou quets of yellow and white chrysanther mums, tied with white and yellow rib, bons. The bride's gown was of handsome white satin, heavily appliqued. Her bouquet was of bride's roses and i asparagus fern. The guests left about . 10 o'clock, and half an hour later the a newly married couple left by private " conveyance, with their party, for Rock r Hill. Those in this party besides the groomsmen, were Misses Josie' Black ? and Mary Roddey, of Rock Hill; Miss. es Annie and Barnette Miller, and Mr. and Mrs. A. T. Neely, of Newport; Mr. Robert Lindsay, Mr. Ira Dunlap and f Master Roddey Reld, of Rock Hill. Mr. 3 and Mrs. Miller took the early morni ing train at Rock Hill on Thursday for 1 a 10 days' trip to Northern cities, and upon their return will live in Rock Hill. The waiters of beautiful flowers received at every hour during the day bespoke the esteem and regard with 3 which the bride was held in this town. The groom is a civil engineer by profession, and is also with the Roddey Mercantile company, of Rock Hill. The 3 large number of presents which Mr. ? and Mrs. Millec received were especial"m ly handsome and appropriate. f IiOCAL LACONICS. The Church Clock. 1 Rev. A. S. Rogers advises The Enf quirer that in his statement of the ? various gifts that were made to the f new A. R. P. church at Rock Hill, he lnadverently omitted mentioning the ' fact that the church clock was donai ted by Mr. and Mrs. S. L. Milling. r Mr. Rogers sent us the correction on Tuesday afternoon, but the paper had ' already been printed, f * Open to the Pnblle. \lL The Catawba river Bridge, connecting Fort Mill township with the bal* ance of the county, is now ready for - public use. Contractor King writes that . the approaches were completed on the j 21st instant. Supervisor Culp was the first man to cross on horseback. There " was to have been a large gathering at the bridge on Thursday; but as to > whether it was there, The Enquirer ' has not learned. ? Bill Arp at Rock Hill. The Enquirer is requested to an-, nounce that Bill Arp will deliver a " lecture In the Armory Hall, Rock Hill, on the evening of November 2, op the "DaKln/1 fha Gnonoa 99 Tho JUUJCLl \JL iJCIIlUU tilt MVVIIVUI *?*w ? lecture is under the auspices of the ' S.

Shannon, of Lomlnack, ) and Miss May Armstrong were mar. ried at the residence of the bride's unj cle, Mr. B. F. Merritt, near Rock Hill, last Wednesday at noon. The cere" mony was performed by Rev. W. A. J Haffner in the presence of a few close - friends of the bride and groom, and j afterward Mr. and Mrs. Shannon went a to the home of Mr. Shannon's mother, " at Lomlnack. They will take up their r residence at Sharon. r High Waters. 1 There was an unusually heavy rain throughout the northwestern portion - of the county last Tuesday, especially - in the vicinity of Henry's Knob and 3 King's Mountain battleground. Many of the creeks were higher than at any time previously this season. McGill's ? mill dam, near Bethany, was washed 3 away, and it is thought that some corn s has been injured in the bottoms of Clark's Fork and Crowder's creeks. The damage, however, is not very con" siderable. ' Mistake at the Post Office. i Subscribers to The Enquirer at Zaf dok, Bethany, Ramah, Hero, Clark's t Fork and Carp, failed to get their pai pers last Wednesday. Complaints . were received at this office by telephone during Wednesday. Some sub' scribers came in person to see what 5 was the trouble. The papers had been 1 properly mailed at the Yorkville office t as usual. What became of them was ? a mystery until Wednesday night, on me return of the route carriers, when it developed that the papers intended for - the Bethany route had been sent to i. Bullock's Creek. S Spartanburg Street Carnival. Prof. R. J. Herndon wrote to a friend r in Yorkville, under date of October 23, 1 about the Spartanburg street carnival . as follows: "The 'thing' is great with a big 'G,' despite the morning's rain; but now the clear weather prospect is ' better. Been coming to Spartanburg '. for 14 years and never saw a larger ( crowd. This crowd will be greatly _ augmented tomorrow, as five of the ' big cotton mills of the county will 1 shut down for the day. Good humor t and 'confetti' prevail on all sides?evl erybody filling your eyes, ears, clothi ing and mouth (if open), with the latter. Dozens of street shows, all un' usually good, are scattered over the 1 square and at principal cross streets. . The various committees have shown - good taste and great liberality in proc viding delightful entertainments for the visitors. The music is fine. I am with the First South Carolina Regi" ment band. The Clemson college band will arrive tomorrow, and with the number and class of attractions no one fears that dull tired feeling which ' generally prevails during such an oc casion.

WHISONANT, CASTLES & CO., HICKORY GR$Vfi, S. C. ' A Message to Friends, Customers and the Public THE time has been when this country was one of the most benighted in the Piedmont. We lived here then, and realized the situation. When the railroad was built, and our people began to take a greater interest in progress of all kinds, we had an intuitive feeling that we were witnessing the arousing of a deeping giant. Peering out into the future with all the foresight that vas permitted to our ambitious eyes, we thought we could see the day vhen a simple, contented people would develop into a most important dement of our county's industry. We had a vision of schools, churches, :elephones, telegraphs, largely increased production of cotton, corn, vheat and oats, more cattle and hogs, development of mineral wealth md the multiplication of all manner of industries. With all this we :ould see an expansion of the simple wants of the people. People who jsed to be content to wear homespun pants and cotton shirts with no :oats, and who had no higher ambition than to idle away their days with iating and sleeping as their principal diversions, would begin to desire ill of the more civilized luxuries and utilities of life. We saw a greater lemand for good, comfortable clothes, for both men and women. We :ould imagine the people wanting buggies and wagons, better furniture, ill kinds of labor-saving machinery, and in fact every useful convenience to be found in the more progressive communities. At this same :ime we saw our own opportunity. We felt that it was with ourselves * :o have a part in the inevitable development. It was clear that if we. should work earnestly and intelligently in the promotion of the progress ve foresaw, we would become a part of it, and be in a position to help lirect it. How we have worked is well known. Whether we have done ill we could have, or neglected our duty in anything is not for us to say. But the fact remains that we have always been hard, busy workers, tryng to do our best and that our firm is now the leading one in all West;rn York. We Want Expansion. As well known as we are throughout this section, we want to be better cnown. We desire to make the acquaintance of every man and womati jvithin a dozen miles, who help produce and consume. We want hem all to know how progressive we are. We want them to know that \ io matter how big others may talk, they can and will do no more as to jood goods and low prices than we are are doing. In order to further ntroduce ourselves and to help make things hum, we today inaugurate A Great Special Cash Sale , rO CONTINUE SIXTY DAYS, and during wfflch we propose to , . , .how how we make competition stand from under. We've got Cash. We've got Experience. We know how and when to buy. We have been wying exactly what our people want, and we are able to sell at PRICES rHAT WILL ASTONISH. We are not afraid of the so-called "big stores" of Rock Hill, Yorkville, Chester and Gastonia. Our dollar will jo as far as theirs and we are'out nothing like as much for expenses. For instance take a look at some of the* prices we are offering, and then ind the so-called big store that will lower th?m: YARD WIDE SHEETING 4 CENTS. ALAMANCE WORTH 6 CENTS, AT 4 CENTS.
