bound through freight train on the

officials in the city seem to know of
the wreck but none of the particulars.

parties a number of freight cars are
piled by the roadside and the track
was not cleared until near noon yes
terday The usual 7 a. m. passenger
train from the west arrived herg
about 12 o'clock yesterday and the
moaning westbound trains were stop
ped here till it passed. We have
heard of no personal injuries.
Local Cotton Market.
The following prices prevail on the

Middling 7 024
Onr Officers Active amt Xu^re'slve.
The records of the circuit and mag
istrate’s courts in Cherokee Jcounty
and the city of Gaffney, and also of
the mayor’s courts in the city, all
show that our officers in county and
city have been active and aggressive
in their work egainst violators of
the dispensary law, and we had be
gun to think that the law was being
as well observed in Cherokee and
Gaffney as any county in the State.
But about a fortnight ago, Mr.
Scott, a State constable, appeared in
Gaffney to make an investigation and
report upon the propriety of with
holding the dispensary profits from
tho city. It was a surprise to our
people. The State constable is a
man of good appearance, has con
ducted himself in a manner becom
ing a gentleman since he has been in
Gaffney, and we anticipate a report
from him which will be fair to our
county and city and will ao away
with the delusions of his superiors.
