Up to this time there has not devel oped sufficient information upon whicl to base an accurate estimate of th< aggregate losses on account of bridges It is probable, however, that the boan will have the entire situation well ii hand by the time of its next regula meeting on Wednesday. MISSIONARY INSTITUTF. The Missionary Institute of the Rocl Hill (Methodist) district, held an inter esting meeting in Yorkville on Wed nesday and Thursday. The followinj information about the institute an< the work of the meeting just neia, nai been prepared for The Enquirer by i regular attendant: The "Missionary Institute" is a com paratively new thing among the Metho dists. It was inaugurated at the las session of the quadrennial general con ference, three years ago at Baltimore when it was provided that the presid ing elders should conduct, with th< preachers of their districts, missionan institutes early in the conference year with a view of considering various features of the cause of Christian missionary work. During two days of the present week (Wednesday and Thursday) the institute of the Rock Hill district, covering York, Chester, Lancaster and most ol m Chesterfield county, was held in Yorkville. at Trinity church. It was exclusively a meeting of the preachers of the district, 16 of whom were present. Six of the preachers were absent. Among the subjects discussed were: The "Circulation of Missionary Literature;" "Missionary Mass Meetings auu nun tv Hold Them;" "The Destitution of the Home Field and How to Supply It;" r . "Contributions to Missions?How Best to Raise Them;" "The Sunday School as a Missionary Means and Agency;" and "Woman's Work in the Mission Field at Home and Abroad." Papers were read on several of these subjects, and addresses and running colloquial discussions were made by the members of the institute. The programme proved quite interesting to the members and to the few visitors who were present at the four sessions?two each day?of the conference. Some of the addresses were quite elaborate and able and all of them were full of Interest. Taken altogether the occasion was pronounced by those who were in a position to judge, as a pronounced success. Among the papers prepared and read, was one by Mrs. Dr. Weber, on the "Work of Woman's Missionary Societies." The institute asked for its publication in The Southern Christian Advocate. There was preaching on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights by Revs. J. M. Pike, J. S. Busby and J. Barr Harris, all of Rock Hill. Dr. H. W. Bays, the presiding elder of the district, was ex-offlclo president of the institute, and Rev. B. S. Murphy was the secretary. The body of the ministers present presented a nne appearance ana impressed the casual visitor and observer as men of Intelligence and power. Several of the pastors of the town were present and were formally Introduced to the body, e. g., Rev. Messrs. Johnes, Bozeman and Neville. The last named, on Invitation, addressed the Institute, and at Its close, volunteered fraternal expressions to the institute, which were evidently very warmly received. LOCAL LACONICS Flooded Again. The works of the Indian Hook Power company, on Catawba river, were again flooded by the freshet of last Tuesday. The water was still high above the machinery enclosed in the coffer dams on Wednesday and Thursday. We Will Send Tlie Enquirer For one year to two or more subscribers at $1.75 each, provided the two or more names are returned and paid for when the names are entered. The Enquirer will be sent from this issue to the first of January, 1902 for $1.50 in advance. Fifth Sunday Meeting. The Fifth Sunday meeting of the York Baptist association held its first session last nlght( Friday) in the Baptist church here. The meeting will continue until Sunday night, and everybody will be welcome. On Saturday night there will be an educational mass meeting and addresses will be delivered by Rev. W. E. Thayer, of nock Hill, and Prof. Jones and Col. Stephenson, of Yorkville, which will no doubt be especially interesting. On Sunday morning, at 10 o'clock, Colonel Stephenson will exemplify the teachings of a Bible class, and will say some things that will, no doubt, be helpful to those engaged in this branch of church work. Tlie Needs of Epwortli. A slip containing the following, was loosely inserted in the March issue of The Epworth Orphanage Record: "There are 109 fatherless children at the Epworth Orphanage, who are being supported by the voluntary contributions of the benevolent people of the state. Seven hundred and fifty dollars is needed every month to properly care for, educate and train these children. Send a liberal offering this glad Easter time to help carry on this Christly work. Money is greatly needed for a house that should be built at once, and for the support fund. Let all make an offering. "Worship the Lord with thy substance * * * So shall thy barns be filled with plenty." Stood the Storm. In the face of all the havoc that was wrought by the freshet this week, it was left to Supervisor Gordon and Commissioner Wilkerson to have the right to chuckle with some degree of satisfaction over one little incident that confirmed their good judgment in bridge construction. It was in the case of the Lowry bridge, about eight miles southeast of Yorkville. The bridge is an unusually long one, and it has been a troublesome and expensive task to keep it in repair. Not long age it was a question of a new bridge, am after looking well into the situation Messrs. Gordon and Wilkerson decider to reduce the length of the structure about one-half, and let it down tnucl closer to the water level, thus saving about one-half the cost of construction - People of the neighborhood predicted 1 s that the bridge would go with the first freshet, and there was enough interest 1 - in the matter to give the commission- , a ers considerable concern. Upon his are rival in Yorkville Wednesday morning, r i. Commissioner Wilkerson at once set J 3 out to see how the Lowry bridge had ^ i stood the flood, and was gratified to r find that although the water had been r seven or eight feet above the flooring, ? the bridge was still there. 1 4 After the Ruilroxil CominUHion. c T. Larry Gantt, who is now a con- v " tributor to the Spartanburg Herald, * ? says: So far as our state railroad com1 mission is concerned, it is a faud of the 3 first water. Unless a change is made 1 in its memberships, the commission had better be abolished. When I ran my " saw mill near Inman, I was made by " the commission to pay more than one 1 third the money I received for a carload of lumber for simply hauling it 11 1 miles. I furnished the timber and cut and hauled the logs from the woods to * i my mill. I then carried the lumber two J miles and a half to the railroad on wa gons and had to both load and unload it on and from the cars. All the railroad did was to couple up that car and drag it 11 miles, and as I have already > fV,Q rnaH took more than one oiaicu, iuv ? wi*%. third of the gross proceeds of my lum\ ber for this slight service. I complain1 ed more than once to our board of commissioners about this outrage; but nothing was done, and I finally had to ' sell my saw mill. The railroads not | only pay the salaries of our board of ' railroad commissioners, but they are furnished free transportation; and I am told the members are often given % Palace cars stocked with liquid and other refreshments with trained ser- u vants to wait on them to cavort over the state. ?
