The whereabouts of the body of Esau Steele, the negro man who disappeared from his home sometime during Tuesday night of last week, and who is supposed to have drowned himself in Catawba river, remains a my stery. Steele, who was one of the oldest negroes of the towhship, lived with his family on the plantation of Mr. J. II. Sutton, north of Fort Milk Sometime during Tuesday night of last week, as stated, be disappeared from his home. In the morning he was missed and a search disclosed the fact that he had left the house, barefooted, and pone in the direction of Catawba river. The tracks were easily followed through the soft bottom land to a point on the bank of the stream midway between the power dam and the county bridge. The water at this point is eight or ten feet deep and very swift, and it is hardly possible that the old negro would have entered it except for the purpose of self destruction. Relatives of Steele have kept up a constant watch along the river's banks for some sight of the body, but up to this time have not been rewarded. About the Odd Fellows' Convention. Messrs. J. S.

(Yorkvillc Enquirer, 4tli.) ?What is to be known as the West Etui Baptist church waj organized in Rock Ilill last Fri day by a conversion of ministers, composed of Rev. E. S. "Reaves of Fort Mill, Rev. 1). W. Thomasson of Old Point and Revs. R. T. Marsh and J. K. I lair of that city. Mr. S. N. Sowell Acted as clerk of the convention. ? It is to be hoped that practically every farmer in the county will try for the Farmer's Union corn prizes next year. The competition is to be confined strictly to uplands. Every farmer who goes into the contest will be the gainer, and if enough of them go into it the county will gain tremendously. ? So far as is known now, there will be no business in the (courthouse next week. Judge Hydrick will probably go to his home in Spartanburg, while most of the lawyers interested in the various cases will be in Columbia in attendance on the supreme court. The work of the common pleas court here will ne resumed on Monday, December 14. ? There is some slight agitation of the questionof selling the county home property, and erecting a modern building with a sufficient number of rooms to accommodate as many people as may hereafter be reasonably expected to become charges on the county. Coupled with the agi! tation, is a suggestion that the location of the proposed new building be left to competitive ? A York farmer \vl o has for years lu^a successfully conducting his own operations on a large scale, and who has considerable holdings in various,joint stock corporations, has been talking to The Enquirer about organizing a big agricultural corporation. His general idea is to have the neighboring farmers to subscribe their lands to the capital stock for a fixed period of years, and let the whole enterprise be under the management of a president and board of directors. He is oersuaded that farm operations conducted on a large scale will have many economic advantages that are imI possible to small farmers, and-lie believes that the undertaking could be developed into a great success. Proposed Hunters' License Approved. The Pleasant Valley correspondent of the Lancaster News writes that paper as follows: Since the opening of the game season it has developed that.partridges are very scarce. Some attribute the scarcity to the1 flsods of 1 :st summer and some to the depredations of lawless and insatiable hunters of last season. We rather think that the last named cause is the principal one, and we favor very much the enactment of more stringent game laws. We think that the one proposed by Mr. James Henry Rice to have every hunter procure an annual license to mini, even on ins own land, is a pood one. The birds, iish and erame are the property of the State and there should be laws to protect them as such. FOR SALE- The Sellers house and lot on Forest street, Fort Mill, S. C. Apply to J no. R.
