Kicked by a Horse. ^Bessie, the 7-year-old daughter of Mr. Lamar Ashe, who lives in the neighborhood of Delphos, was kicked by a horse on Tuesday afternoon and had one of her ribs broken. She is getting along very nicely. For the Benefit of the Public. Mr. J. F. Pursley, of Clover, is putting in a stock of school books, which he proposes to sell to the public at the same prices asked by the county superintendent's of education. The arrangement will be quite a convenience to the people living in Mr. Pursley's territory. Animal School Report. Superintendent of Education Carroll is just finishing up his annual report of the work and condition of the public schools of York county. In some respects Mr. Carroll thinks that his report will be one of the most accurate that has ever been made in this county. Waiting: on the Printers. Treasurer Neely has a little more leisure on his hands than he likes just now. Usually at this reason, he is busy filling out blank tax receipts for the approaching collection period; but up to date he has not received the blanks from the printers and he is afraid he is going to be seriously inconvenienced by the delay. Grain In Fort Mill. Fort Mill Times: Messrs. McElhaney, Crook & Hoke's thresher finished up 'the season in this township yesterday. Mr. J. W. McElhaney informs us that they have threshed 9,000 bushels of wheat. 4,658 bushels of oats, and 158 bushels of rye. These figures indicate that the farmers of this township are in good shape for another year, at least so far as living is concerned. The S. C. & G. E. Wuhont. The washout on the South Carolina and Georgia Extension railroad, last Tuesday, was not so serious as was at first reported. Timbers were secured from Blacksburg within a few hours after the discovery of the break, and the train reached Yorkville at about 3 o'clock p. m., some five hours late. The trip to Camden and return was completed as usual. The First Bale. The first bale of new cotton for last year was sold on this date, August 31; but this year's first bale is hardly in sight yet. There is some open cotton scattered about; but the reporter has not heard of a field in which it Is thick enough to warrant picking. The slowness with which cotton is opening is due in a measure to the continued wet a fw Hnvs of sunshine will make it crack with great rapidity; but under no circumstances does it appear probable that the first bale will be ofofiered on this market for a week or ten days yet. At the Catawba Dam. Fort Mill Times, August 28: Robert Hall, a Negro man who has been working at the plant of the Catawba Power company, was shot in the stomach on !- last Wednesday evening by another Negro, whose name is said to be Walter Taylor. The shooting was the outcome of a quarrel on Sunday beforehand. Besides the bullet wound Hall had a deep gash on the left side of his face, just about the ear. He was brought here and taken to Charlotte, his home, for medical treatment. Taylor took his departure as soon as he had shot his man. Johmtone an a Farmer. Rock Hill Heraldr Colonel George Johnstone, of Newberry, candidate for the United States senate, is quite an extensive farmer, and in conversation at the Carolina hotel last Friday night, he related quite an interesting experience that he had had on a tract of wornout land several miles out from Newberry. The arable land on the place is about 40 acres, and the customary production of cotton was about 10 bales on the farm. Beginning several years ago with 200 pounds of commercial fertilizer to the acre, he has increased the amount each year until this year he put in 600 pounds. From 10 bales to 40 acres ne nas Deen aoie within only a few years to bring the yield up to three-fourths of a bale to the acre. He intends to continue to increase the amount of fertilizer each year and expects in a few years to gather as much as a bale and a half, where only the fourth of a bale grew a few years ago. Mr. J. Edgar Poag was an interested listener and a participant in the conversation. He told Col. Johnstone that he expected to spread a ton of fertilizers over an acre of good ground well cultivated next year and plant it in cotton as an experiment, and Mr. Poag's friends will watch the result with much interest. Why He Wni Slow. Rev. V. I. Masters, well-known to many of the readers of The Enouirer, and who is now pastor of a church at Beech Island, in Barnwell county, has been spending his vacation in the mountains of Western North Carolina, and during his stay there wrote several interesting letters treating of subjects peculiar to that famous section in that interesting ana lnimuuoie styie peculiartothe writer, to the Baptist Courier, and from one of them we clip the following paragraph: "An east-bound vestibuled night train from Memphis, left Ashevllle away behind time and in a downpour of rain. The noted "Bunch"' McBee was then the superintendent of the division. McBee was anxious for that train to be in Salisbury the next morning on time, so that the AtlantaWashington fast mail train would not have to wait. All along^ the treacherous run in the wild night. Superintendent McBee had telegrams awaiting the engineer at different stations telling him to hurry up the train and make the connection. At last the engineer's patience gave out. To the station operator who approached his engine with another telegram he said, pointing his hand into the angry heavens: "Tell Superintendent McBee that 1 have a great Superintendent up there to whom I must answer for the lives of the passengers on this train.' The versatile superintendent wired no further orders to that train." Life Sentence For Lynching.?Geo. Howard, a member of the mob which lynched Robert White, a Negro, in this county some months ago, was today convicted of murder in the first degree, and was sentenced to life imprisonment. The case was called in the circuit court today. After the state's evidence was submitted the attorney for the defense announced that Howard desired to make a statement to the court. Howard admitted his participation in the lynching and gave the names of the members of the mob, which numbered 13. After being out almost two hours the jury returned a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree, and fixed the penalty at life imprisonment. Howard is one of the most prominent farmers in his section of the country. White was accused of shooting a white man. The case against six others accused of being members of this mob are now being tried. All others who are alleged to have been members of the mob have left the country.?

To the Yorkville Public: The Auxilliary Association to the Yorkville Cemetery association Is In need of flowers with which to beautify the cemetery. There is an abundance of flowers in Yorkville available for the purpose, and we desire to request donations of roses, chrysanthemums, vines, bulbs, etc., that may be regarded suitable. We would suggest that hardy flowers, vines and bulbs of almost every description, would be acceptable. The Auxilliary association has no means with which to buy such plants as are desired; but can find sufficient means to plant them in the cemetery. We, therefore, call upon people who may be interested to advise us of their willingness to donate flowers for the purpose mentioned. The work of setting out the plants, bulbs, roots, etc., should be done the first weeks of September, and people who expect to make donations are requested to advise me of their intention without unnecessary delay. Respectfully, Rosa Lindsay, President Auxilliary Asociatlon. $he Qorltuille Cotton gflarhet. Corrected Semi-Weekly by Meaara. Latta Broa.
