It was at first thought that I the little fellow was seriously injured, but upon examination it j %vas found that the wounds were only slight, and tint for a large bruise on the right cheek, the child seems little worsted by the accident. The Gold Hill school closed Friday, after one of the most sue* cesstui sessions in nit' nisiory of tlie Hclnxfl. The exeivi.se incident to tlic closing of I lie fit*11001 were I very interesting and instructive j and were largely attended. Tlie recitations and declamations by tlie pupils are worthy of special mention. The literary address Friday afternoon by Rev. ?J. A. B Fry. , of Charlotte, was the crowning t. attire of the day's exercises.: jMi*. Krye is an able and eloquent speaker and handled his subject with an ease which was characteristic of the man. The exercises closed late in the afternoon with a sham battle between squads of the Fort Mill Light Infantry. ! I J. C.

Tin* American Carnival Compuny folded tents Saturday night and left for Rock Hill, where it will show during the present week. We do not, of course, know the re ceipts of the various shows or the ! expense attached to each performance here during the past week, hut, judging from the large crowds in attendance, it is pre' ; sumed the carnival's stay here was quite profitable. Ah an entertain- j inent. the carnival was all that | could have been expected. "1Mb sonia,*' a scene from real life was good, while all lovers of rag-time music and clog-dancirg, were de-j lichtfully entertained with tl.e "Olil Plantation." "The Wild Girl," wiio :'eats"em niive," is s.ml to not have taken so woll with our people. Of course, the merry go. round and . Fen is wheel came in for ii good Him re of patronage at | the hands of the children. Sever hI persons are reported to have been lleeoed by the several Raines of chance occompanying the show, hut 11k?- others who have taken similar lessons, they will, perhaps, | prolit hy their losses. All in all. we think, t he carnival wub enjoytd hy all our people. Bloody Fight on Catawba River. .lust ns we wee closing our forms last evening we learned of a bloody fight on Catawba river near dones' feny between Mr. Rosser Wolfe, of Mecklenburg county, and Mr. M.

A large crowd witnessed the an- ! 11 ntil inspection of the Fort Mill Light Infantry last Wednesday! afternoon, on the baseball ground ! west, of the railroad, and all were ! surprised at. the splendid showing' made. Few of our people knew of j the faithful and persistent work done by the officers and men of I liii i .n 11 it i ii 4 I I o a t fiiio i un * win |;<m y in uur inot. i w moiitIih, and the drill was a revelation to tliem. As before elated, a miniber of companion will be mustered out of ! the aeivice in order to reduce the i enlisted strength of tlie militia, and naturally, York county with three companies could hardly be expect- j cd to keep them all. But if the] other companies passed as good inspection as did the Fort Alill Light Infantry it is difficult to see how the State authorities could consistently disband either of them. The inspecting officers Cols. E. 15. Fuller, J. M. Patrick and J. (J. Boyd, complimented the company very highly, one of them saying that this was probably the best drilled company seen 011 his tour of inspection. If any trouble is encountered it will in all probability be on ac count of a shortage in the uniforms issued to the company, every one of which must be shown or accounted for. The new militia law nassed hv g- "J . the last lagislnture provides a uiaxi- [ mam fine of $100 or imprisonment for 30 days for the refusal or | neglect of anyone to return to the i proper ofR er any military property j Some of tlie uniiorms. both blue , and kakiii, are still in the hands j of men whose enlistment has ex- I pired, and Capt. Spratt states that ' he has been instructed, after giv- ; ing due notice, to prosecute anyone who fails to return this property. Those enlisted will do well to remember this.
