A Fort Mill man who returned Sunday morning from Columbia says that a head-on collisiod between Southern trains No. 30, northbound, and No. 27, southbound, was averted by 50 yards n half-mile north of Adger's that morning. No. 30 was in charge >f Conductor Harling and Engineer Robt. McDougal and tiic southbound train was in charge pf Conductor Sprinkle. Both trains were running dead on time and had orders to meet at Adger's, No. 27 taking the sidetrack. For some reason No. 30 did not stop at Adger's to await the arrival of No. 27, but ran half a mile past the station when the enginear saw the southbound train coming. A collision was averted by the application of the air brakes to both trains. No. 30 then backed to Adger's and i,vvMi i/iiVx OKi^H iiv.l\ (UIU iNU, 27 proceeded southward. Conductor Harling stated tliat the failure of his train to pass No. 27 at Adger's as ordered was not due to carelessness on his part. That when the station blow for Adger's was sounded he ordered his porter to signal the engineer to stop, which was done. No statement could be had from Engineer McDougal. There were ibout 20 passengers in the day coach.

" 1 % York County News ^ Yorkville Enquirer. ?In a paragraph about preparations for night work at NinetyNine Islands last Friday one of our Mergenthalers invented a new electrical contrivance, which it called the "gun-motor." A generator would have answered the purpose just as well, if not better. ?There are three hrass bands in York county at this time, one at Rock Hill, one at Sharon and one at Yorkville. All of the men have reached a high degree of proficiency in their ability to make good music, and there is a movement on foot to bring them together in Yorkville some afternoon at an early date. The idea is to have a musical feast to be enjoyed by the bands and more especially by music lovers generally who care to be nresent on the occasion. ? The Presbyterians of Rock Hill have subscribed $5,000 for the support of the Presbyterian college! of South Carolina at Clinton. They are very much in earnest over the proposition that there should be a first-class denominational college inthis state. Reports generally indicate that the Irish potato crop has been unusually prolific this year. For some reason, probably because of the cool weather in tl^e spring, the bugs did not give a great deal of trouble, and the crop had nothing to do but grow. We have heard of a case where the yield was nineteen bushels to one planted and numerous other cases where the yields were almost as good. But unfortunately, very few people planted with a view to putting their crops on the market. ? Mr. ,T. J. Gaul din, who lives three miles south of Yorkville on the Chester road has called the attention of The Enquirer to an insect pest that is doing great damage to the cotton. Noting a large number of squares under his cotton several days ago. and being of the opinion that it was rather too early for the shedding that usually occurs somewhat later, proceeded to make an examination. In each shedded square he found a small hole that extended into the bud. and in most noies mere were small green worms. More careful inspection of squares that still appeared healthy disclosed, in many cases, small eggs, and worms of different stages of development up to an inch in length. Mr. Gauldin is not certain whether the enemy he has discovered is the boll worm, hut hf> is nf thn nrnnirm that it is a new pest. The boll worm, according to his knowledge of the pest, works only on bolls. This worm attacks squares before the development of the blooms, and also eats the interior of the smaller bolls. He finds that much damage has been wrought in his fields and also in the fields of several of his neighbors. He has sent specimens of the worm to Clemson College to see if he can get any further information as to the antecedents and nature of the pest. Rork Hill Herald. We learn from the Charlotte News of Thursday that the contract for the erection of the new Lockhart Mills at Yorkville has j been awarded to J. J. Keller & ; Co., of this city. This mill will ! be a (>,000 spindle plant for the ! production of yarns and will cost . $100,000. ? Mr. John G. Anderson, whc j has served diligently and faithfully as president of the Chamber of Commerce since its organization, has sent in his resignation, to take effect at once. Mr. Anderson's duties will not allow him to serve in the capacity ir ; the future that he has in the | past, therefore through justice to himself and the orfnni'/nHnr he felt it his duty to resign. ? "You can say that I have sold .,38 bales of my cottor which 1 have been holding since 11)05," said Mr. F. H. Barber te us. "I cannot give you price that was paid for it, for I was asked not to." A few month.' ago Mr. Barber said he was holding for 15 cents and it is supposed that he got his price although it is only a suppositior on our part. ? "I have not seen a single wasp nest this summer," remarked Mr. R. P. Sullivan, ol the Friendship community, to the , reporter Saturday, "anel severa of my neighbors have told me that the?y have not seen any.' Mr. Sullivan said that wasps are generally ejuite numerous in his section, in fact, everywhere a! this time and he cannot account for their absence t.hi? vpnmnW they were killed by the freezing weather bust winter, but as thi winter was not a hard one, h< does not think it can be attribu ted to the weather.
