Speak a Word of Encouragement.
*'
A little encouragement, is so easy
o give and may be so blessed to
eceive. I don't mean indiscriminate
taffy?that is disgusting. 1
jneHU honest encourageinent of
that which seems good. You notice
that the policeman on your
p?>st is apparently trying to do bis
duty. You mention it to your
neighbor, perhaps, but you never
speak of it to the policeman him*elf.
So far as he knows von are
(to better pleased tluiu you would
he if lie took no pains. Tlie natural
effect of this is to discourage
lie efforts. You ride with a street
ar conductor who does something
letter than the common run of
uouductors do it?for instance, call
ill the streets plainly. Every person
in the car inwardly commend
him f <r it. but if nobody speaks
to him about it he is apt to think
it is not appreciated. Just, a kind
^ word of.encouragement might influence
him to try to excel not only
u this particular but in others.

Prohibition in North Carolina.
jVir. S. M. (iiist, of Yorkville,
has been in North Carolina on a j
short visit. < hi his return to his ,
home he wrote ns follows to the
News and Courier:
The Tarheel people seem to he
determined to rid t!a?*ir State of the
blighting influence <>f whiskey- j
making, selling iiikI of drinking ho ;
far as possible. The temperance j
people are elated over their sue- !
cess tlius far and talk glowingly of \
tlie effects of a law passed at tlie
recent session of the legislature,
which provides that no distillery
can he operutcd ontsido of an incorporated
town of not less than
500 population, and in suoii town
only with the consent of a majority
of freeholders.
It is said that at. the time tin
law was passed there were ovei
5d0 government dintiHol ies in tin* (
Stale, and that after duly 1. I'.'Oil. i
when the law becomes effective,!
there will not be over .'10. There
ih m (special provision in tin* Act
whirli provides that towns in Gaston
county cannot have still houses
even should a majority of the
voters desire them. At one time
durinu the past fifteen years there |
were no less than 20 government I
distilleries within tin; limits of ;
Gaston county.
They have local option at Hick- '
ory. Last year it was decided hy j
a majority of 27 that the town |
should have bur rooms during the
next twelve months. The year I
was out la t Monday, when another
election was held and the
majority against bar rooms was
12li.
York and other border counties :
in Sou'h Carolina are sure to suf- |
fer by reason of the outlawing of j
the d irti I lories in North Carolina.

The following letter that Congressman

plain itself pleasantly to tile people
living along liroud ami Catawba

that in compliance with request

Good Roads Convention.
There is to be a "Good Honda''
convention in Kock Hill ?>n June
j 2. This was decided on Tuesday
tiitrlit of last week, when by iuvi'
tation of the cotntnereial club of
Hock Hill, a number of prominent
citizens of the county assembled at !
the Carolina Hotel for the purpose '
ot discussing tho good roads problem
and devising, if possible, a
means for the betterment <>f York's
highways Short talks were made
by the different guests on the subjects
of better roads, and the concensis
of opinion expressed seemed
to favor tho idea that roads should
tie built and maintained by general
taxation. The expedient of issuing
! bonds in sufficient amount, to cover
j the cost at once seemed to have the
approval of all present.
Senators Tillman and Latimer
will he in ltd"If Hill nJ thu (imo nf i
the convention, it being commencement
week nt Winthrop, ami are
expected to address those present
on the subject.
Cow Th!?# Captured.
By following the fine judgment
that seems to have developed out of
his long experience with various
kinds of criminals, Policeman
Whitener Mon onday succeeded in
detecting and arresting a cow thief
before the owner of the stolen ani
mal had had timo to spread the
news of his losa. A Negro came
along Monday morning leading a
lino looking cow by a rope. Policeman
VVhitener remarked to a
gentleman with whom he was talking
that he would bet the cow had
been atolen and tliat the Negro
was trying to Hell her. The Negro
went straight on to Sherrer'a meat
marKet and Mr. Whilener slirewdly
concluding that it would be beat
not to follow too close in person,
requested Deputy Sheriff Sandifer
to try to buy the animal. It was j
deemed beat to have .Mr. Sandifer
go because his ordinary citizen's
dress waa not ealcutated to excite i
Hnnpieion. Mr. S.mdifer atepp d j
up juat mh the Negro was trying to j
make a price. Mr. SSheror, was also
suspicious that the cow had been
stolen and waa not inclined to l>uy.
After Consultation the officers decided,
upon an arrest. The Negro
told vaiTdus conflicting Hlories; but
U pay check >U hie pocket wade out
to William Jenkins seemed to indicate
that his name was not William
Jones as lie claimed. After
patting the fellow in jail, Police\\
hitener teleplioned to Chief of i
Police Jenkins at iiock Hill, and
it developed that there hud had
just, been a message from Magistrate
MeKlhaney making inquiry
for just such a cow as had been
found in possession of the Negro.
The cow Imd been stolen from a
Negro fanner in Port Mill township
dnring Sunday night.?York
vi 11 *-? Empiirer.
The row in question wns (he
property of Reeee Witherspoon, an
old darkey wlio lives on the Scott
farm, liotlh of Fort Mill, and was
stolen 1 ?y Will Johnston, a colored
emplo\e of the Catawha Power
Company. Johnston is now in
jail awaiting trial.
"Will Affect The South "
The abnormal priee of cotton,
forced by speculators after the
staple has left the hands of the
producer, will injuriously affect
the South. Had the price not been
unusually advanced northern and
utigiisli in11 Ih would manufacture I
freely throughout llienuiiinier, mid
the opening of the next cotton sea- I
son would have found a small sup- i
ply of old cotton on hand. A large \
surplus, likely to result from the.
curtailment of uianufaclure, will
he the excuse for hammering
prices when the new crop iH offered
for sale. With fair consumption
of cotton during t.is year
there should he demand for 11.

Pleasant Valley School Closing.
The Pleasant Valley High
School closed Friday, after a very
successful year's work. The en- j
rollment during the entire session j
was close up to the one hundred
mark. The cloning exercises con-I
aisled of Itieraiy addresses,,
speeches, dial tgues, etc.. and were |
much enjoyed by all. There were :
many estimates of the number of
people present but we are sure
that tlieie could not have been
less I han 1 <>00.
The exercises began with prayer i
by Kev. W. A. \N right and the ad- j
dress of welcome hy Hon. O. W. I
Potts. These were Followed hy
the song "America," in which the
out ire school took a part. Then
came numerous dialogues, recitations,
speeches, drills,etc., making
the program one of the most interesting
that has been rendered in
this section in some time.
Promptly at 2 p. in. dinner was
announced by Magistrate D. K.
Hall. The picnic table extended
several hundred feet into the grove,
was laden with a dinner, the ex
II - - f? ? * ? ?
ue jit**11ce ?ji wiiii'ii is seuioiu seen
in these parts. In the nfternoon
the crowd was treated to a number
of interesting literary addresses
and a farewell talk by Prof. Bailee,
which ended the very pleasant ex- j
erciaes of th?' day. In addition to >
the above program the exercises
were frequently interspersed with
music by the Fort. Mill string
band, assisted by Messrs. Mood
and Warwick, of Providence.
Prof. Bailee and his accomplished
assistant, Miss Eva Potts,
have every reason to be proud ot
the manner in which all the pupils
acquitted t hemselvea.
From Gold Kill.
This is the same old plaoo nnd
the same old folks. Gold Hill?
like its crops?is about dried up.
The people, especially the students,
have been looking like they were
lost since the school closed, but
cheer up! boys and girls, picnics
have started, and watermelons will
be ripe in about two months.
The writer attended a school
picnic nt Pleasant. Valley last Friday,
May 22. Well, I had better
say "commencement," because
they will feel insulted if I say
"school picnic." It was an enjoyable
affair, conducted by Prof. J.
J. Bades. Between one and two
thousand people were present to
witness the closing exercises and
nnd 1 think everybody enjoyed it,
in spite of 'he poor supply of
water. The most interesting pnrt
of the program was the contests
for the gold medals. Miss Edna
Harris was the successful reciter.
and Mr. Authur Hull was the successful
declaiiner.
Owing to his nlile management
of the school last year, Prof. Bailee
has heen re-elected. He certainly
dererves credit for his noble work.
It wuh quite a jolly crowd the
writer passed, hh they weie re- ;
turning from Prof. Tate's picnic, j
The little fellows were shouting
as though they were very happy
indeed.
