LETTER FROM T1RZAH. The "Crops Cheaply Worked?Wheat aud Oats?Something of a Snake Story. Correspondence of the York vJUe Enquirer. Tiezah, June 13.?Such splendid seasons | and delightful weather as we arc having now,1 . is enough to gladden the heart of all. Corn and cotton are growing off nicely and the grass is still under easy control. So far, this has proven the cheapest and easiest year to plant a crop for a long time. Scarcely any "day" labor has been employed by our fanners. As the result, the old "chronic" fellows who infest every locality, i and refusing to make a contract at the be-j ginning of the year, depend upon catching j the farmers in a tight pinch and being able to make their own terms for day labor, are having a hard time of it. How these fellows are managing to get a living is a mystery to many of us. However, the blackberries will soon be on, and with cheap sugar all will be ' happy. Everybody reports fine gardens, and early vegetables are common and plentiful. The wheat and oats crops, as I predicted some weeks ago, are proving uncommonly good?especially oats?aud but little further demand for Western corn may be expected this season. The peach crop is better mid more gener-1 al than for several years past, but apples, cherries, etc., are^carce and inferior. There will be services at Tirzah academy on the afternoon of the fourth Sunday in June, by Rev. J. M. McClain. On that occasion an effort will be made to organize a ! Sunday-school, which, it is proposed, will be j for all denominations, and both parents and ! children are earnestly invited to attend and take part. Mrs. Julius Howe, of Hickory Grove, is visiting her niece, Mrs. N. M. Stukes. Mr. John M. Sadler tells u rather astonishing snake story. Snake stories are not generally believed, but of course this one is true. Not long ago, Mr. Sadler killed an immense king snake. Before he left it, a blacksnake wriggled out of its mouth, and on measuringj the blacksnake, he found it to be at least a foot longer and considerably larger than the king snake. Next. There is?o politics in our section at pressent, but the action of the Alliance conference in the congressional matter at Rock Hill, does not seem to take so well with our people. I have heard several strong Alii-| ancemen speak lightly of the proposition to change Hemphill for Strait, and they say they | cannot swallow the dose. Mr. J. W. Harris, who for several weeks past has been employed by the contractors of the Luna mills at Fort Mill, to erect tenement houses, met with a painful accident! last Tuesday. He fell from the top of one of the buildings, a distance of twenty-five feet, and seriously injured one of his ankles. He managed to get home Thursday night, but is unable to get about any more at present. Mr. T. W. Hope has a young heifer, without a calf, from which he gets over a quart of milk a day. Tibzah. SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS. ? It is reported that the Charleston postmastership is the price agreed upon between the administration and Dr. Crum, one of the colored delegates to Minneapolis, for his vote for Harrison. ? Rock Hill Herald r'There are over 13,000 I Democratic voters in this congressional district, and of that number less than 4,000 are J the county jail. Tne cause 01 time s aires i is this: Hannon was anxious that his son Thomas should be postmaster of Spartanburg. Cline heard of this and stated that he was a postofficc inspector and would have Thomas ..4 pointed for $150. Cline received the money and aed to Virginia where he wus arrested. ? In the United States court at Charleston, t - last Thursday, Judge Simon ton rendered a decision in the suit of Frederick W. Bond and others, against the South Carolina Railway oompany. After reviewing the case fully his decision concluded as follows: A decree will be passed for the sale of all property covered by the several liens and mortages, in which provisions shall be made declaring all first consolidated mortgage bonds entitled to pay- j ment as if it was past due, which decree | shall provide for sufficient cash payment to j meet the costs and expenses of the case and liquidate the obligations of the receiver, j which have been entered into with the sane- j tion of the court." The date and conditions of the sale will be fixed by a future order of I the court. POLITICAL NEWS NOTES. ? Prohibitionists of the Fifth congressional district of Georgia, have nominated Rev. Sam Small as their candidate for congress. ? The Prohibitionists of Virginia held a State convention at Lynchburg on Tuesday : of last week, and nominated twenty-eight; delegates to represent the State in the na-1 tional Prohibition convention, to be held in Cincinnati on the 20th instant. ? The Alabama State convention met at Montgomery last Wednesday and nominated j Governor Jones for re-election. The Kolb i Alliance faction withdrew from the conven-! tion and nominated Kolb for governor. Both parties elected delegates to the Chicago con-' vention. ? A story was put in circulation by the New York Times, last week, to the effect | that Hill has withdrawn from the race for j Ha Dpinnorniie nresidential nomination. On 1 being asked about it, Mr. Hill said that. be would neither deny or aflirm such canards as may be started between that time and the j Chicago convention, ? The New York Sun, which has always, been a strong anti-Cleveland pujter, says:; "New York will decide the presidential election in 1892 as in 1888. The way to win the ; battle for the Democracy is to nominate a can- i didate who can carry New York against! Harrison. Cleveland has tried it; he failed.! David Bennett Hill, running for governor, j polled more votes in New York State than Benjamin Harrison, running for president. Enough said. ? North Georgia is now in the throes of a religious excitement, produced by the preaching of T. K. Postell, a Baptist missionary from the Indian Territory, who declures him-; self informed as to the date fixed for the end j of the world, says a recent dispatch from Atlanta: Postell was born in Georgia about forty years ago. On attaining manhood he I entered the ministry and was sent as a missionary to the Indians. For fifteen years he was engaged in that work. He says that in the last year he had so many mysterious revelations made to him that he felt called upon to preach to his own people their impending doom. He came buck to Georgia, and is now engaged in the country near Dahlonega, giving the residents the benefit of his knowledge. The Jews, he says, will take up their journey to Palestine on April j 3, 1890. On April 3, 1900, the new temple, at Jerusalem will be dedicated with impressive ceremonies, and Christ will make His second advent on Mount Olivet on May 15of, the same year. Postell thinks that the: mountain should be secured by Christian j people in time to keep it clear of squatters. I In the meantime all the disasters foretold for the last days will have begun. Brethren 1 will be arrayed against each other as never! before. There will be wars and political: revolutions calculated to drive pecple to a sense of duty to their God. Postell's hearers listen with eagerness to his revelations and talk of nothing but the end of time. ? Wm. Blair, a Blaine delegate to (he Minneapolis convention from Aurora, 311., met with an almost fatal accident last Wednes day. He had arrived in the city ahead of his delegation and registered at the Nichollet house. Shortly afterwards the Blaine delegation paraded in front of the hotel with a brass band at its head. Blair was up stairs, I but when he was informed of theciose proximity of the Blaine delegation, he became enthusiastic. He raised a window underneath which was what appeared to be a tin roofed balcony, and he jumped out. The balcony, however, proved to be covered with glass, and Mr. Blair fell through. He dangled from a. hole in the roof, and when rescued, the cords and veins in his wrists were severed, and the members hung helpless by his side. He was greatly weakened by loss of blood and is thought to have been injured internally. He will probably recover. LIST OF LETTERS. The following is a list of the letters remaining in the postoffice at Yorkville, S. C., for the week ending June 11th, 1M& : Joe E. Church, Rachel Clark, Mrs. M.J. Crawford, W. L. Douglass, Mattie E.

Dr. Summey, of Chester, has been elected president of the Southern University, of Clarkstown, Tenn., at a salary of $2,500 a year. It is understood that he will accept the distinguished honor, and enter upon the discharge of his new duties within a short time. ? The story was out last week that Dave Shaw, the negro reported to have been lynch ed in Laurens, had been seen alive since the alleged lynching. The story, however, would not bear investigation, and although the negro's body has not yet been found, there is but little doubt of the fact that he was lynched. ?; The executive committee of Georgetown oounty has decided to postpone the campaign meeting appointed to be held at that place next FrWay, on account of the farmers being so busy with their work that they cannot attend, The committee asked that it be allowed to select another date that will be more suitable. ? Two thieves entered the house of Mr. Wm, J. Blackman, who lives near Kershaw, on last Thursday night, and forcing him to open bis safe, rifled it of betweeu $500 and $400. Before leaving, they shot him in the shoulder and left him for dead. His wound was not fatal, however, and he will recover. There is no clue as to the identity of the thieves. Both wore masks. ?

My family became alarm 1 and insis- | ted on calling a physician. I objected and sent I for a bottle of Campbell's Anti-Ferment. The 1 first dose gave me great relief, and a few; doses more cured me. A colored man on my place who was suffering from the same disease, i was cured by Anti-Ferment. Yours truly and gratefully, John Carson. Could Write Pages la Its Praise. Fort Mill, S. C., May 28,1892. Sam M. Grist, Yorkville, S. C.: Dear Sir: Your favor of the 18th came safely to hand. I was absent from home, hence the ?felay in reply. You ask my opinion of the Buckeye Mower. Well I will repeat what everyone who has seen it at work says, and that is that "when properly ' managod it is by far tho best Mower on the market." It is substantially made and less liable to 1 get out of fix than any I have seen. Mr. John 1 W. Wadsworth, of Charlotte, told me a short time since that he owned and operated three 1 Mowers?the McCormiek, Adriance and Buck- 1 eye, and that the Buckeye gave better satisfac- I tion than either of the others and that he preferred it in every way. I harvest all of my oats, Sea vine hay, crab grass and clover hay with my lower, and also do eonsiderble cutting for my utirl T huvw vol to hear tho first com plaint. Do not know flow I could get on with- I out the Huokeye, Could write pages In its praise but have said enough. Very Respectfully, J, Wilson Marsh am..

I Do Not Neglect the Opportunity i We now offer.

We are Agents for Coats's Spool 1 Cotton and Helmes's Sweet Railroad Snuff. The Cheapest Cash Store. i RIDDLE & CARROLL. LIMITED SUPPLY. j TAKING into consideration cost of produc-j tion, it is generally conceded that there is no crop planted that pays the producer more liberally for his time and labor than PEAS. The Peas themselves make the richest milk producing food that can be found for cows, and if the viuesare mowed when green and cured, there i is no better forage for all kinds of live stock, j Peas, unlike most other crops, build up land instead of exhausting it. Every acre of wheat and oat stubble in York county should lie sowed in Peas at the earliest possible moment. We have in stock a LI M ITKD supply of Peas suitable for sowing, and would advise all who expect to buy to secure their supply NOW. The supply is not ! likely to equal the demand. SAVE FREIGHT. We hardly think there is either a merchant or a consumer of Snuff anywhere who will dispute the statement that Lord lard and Railroad Mills are two of the best and most populat brands of Snuff on the market. Tbcy outsell all others, and for the simple reason that consumers recognize tlx; fact that they are the best. We buy these two brands in large quantities, and are enabled to sell them to merchants at exactly the sit me price they would have to pay in the wholesale market when bought in small quantities. Buy from us and save freight. (bar stock of Chewing Tobacco is unusually large, even for us, and we are sure that we can please all users of the weed both in price and quality. At any rate, we invite an examination i of our stock. Koyal Baking Powder is recognized by housekeepers everywhere as being the best baking j powder on the market. It is not necessary for j the manufacturers of them to give prizes with every can sold in order to make them go, because ' they are possessed of merit within themselves. I Price 5(1 cents a pound.

TIIK SCARLKT LKTTKK is the masterpiece of Mr. Hawthorne ami has enthralled i eouullessthousandsof readers in thedaysthat are behind us. If you iiavk read it, you will read it again.

February.'! * tf m TIM, TOMORROW 0 May be Too Late; at Least That Has Been the Experience of Others. THERE are hundreds, yea, thousands of men all over this country who thoroughly realize that no plan has yet been devised by which they can more easily and surely provide for those dependent upon them in case they are taken away by death, than a life insurance policy in a first class company. They all expect to attend to the matter some day?next fell, next year, when their financial condition is such that they can supply all their imaginary wants and have a sufficient surplus to carry a policy. Thousands go down to the grave every year without attending to the matter, and leave their dear ones penniless and to depend either on charity or to eke out an existence as best they can. Is the picture familiar? Is it overdrawn? Read the following extract from The Insurance Post, of London, England, and learn what one who speaks from bitter experience has to say on the subject: I am looked upon as a happy man. The world says: "There is Bright; he's a lucky dog. What a lovely wife he has and what fine children! If you want to see a charming home, look in at Bright's." I was a happy man; I used to iancy myself one of the most fortunate fellows alive. I felt proud of the way I had got along'; sometimes I used to think I surely must have been born under a lucky star; I seemed to prosper in everything. When I began in the store I was the Junior clerk, but I worked up; promotions never seemed to fall in anybody's way foster than they did in mine. Everybody said when I married: "Bright's a lucky aog." My wife was the belle of the city; it would have gladdened the hearts of ttfty fellows whom I might name to have won her if they could, but her love was reserved for me. Then the children?well, well, a father's praises are usually accepted with grains of allowance; I won't say anything that might seem to be mere parental rapture. Now, I've mentioned the reason why the world thinks me a happy man. Perhaps you think the world is right ? My God! I wish it was. The other day an old friend, a school chum, called on me at the store; we got to talking about life insurance. I don't know how many life insurance men have tried to induce me to insure my life; I always put them off. Frankly, I never thought seriously about needing life insurance?never thought I needed it now. I remember that I said to myself, "After awhile." I knew I hadn't saved any money, but then I would. Once an agent tried to tell me it was my duty towards my wife and children to insure ; I thought him impertinent. He made me angry; I tola him I knew my own business. My friend urged ihe to takes policy, as he bad lately engaged in the life insurance business. Finally, I said I would, thinking it a favor to him; it was easier to say yes than no. I went to be examined by the medical examiner. Two or three days later I was asked to call again. I was examined a second time. I thought the proceedings a bore, and began to wish I nad not signed the application. A week after my friend came into the store; I asked him about my insurance, and he said the company had rejected the application. He didn't say ft quite as direct as this, but in a roundabout hesitating way. He tried to be gentle in imparting the information. At last I came to understand that I was uninsurable. "Kidney disease?incurable," the examiner said. I consulted an eminent physician; he confirmed it?quietly told me I might live two years. Two years!?two years in which to prepare to die! I dare not tell my wife; it would be well enough by-and-by.- Like a condemned- felon, I count the days and hours?days and hours in which to breathe silent farewell to those I love. What can I do in two years?such years? What provision can I make for them ? I said I never thought seriously about life insurance. I never did until now, when it is too late. "Uninsurable !" rings in my ears. Never did a leper shudder more at those words descriptive of his fearful doom, "Unclean! unclean!" than I do as the voice in my ear says, "Uninsurable!" It says more than that. It tells me of the cruelty of my procrastination; it tells me that I am dead, that my dear wife and children are destitute. My God! it Ls hard to bear. Everything that made me happy before makes me wretched now. The agony of the thought of parting from my family, terrible as it is, is as nothing to the certain knowledge that I shall leave them comparatively poor. I have figured it all out; after paying my funeral expenses there will be barely enough left to supply them with the necessaries of life for six months. * * * My friends have begun to notice that "Bright has acted que. r lately." I saw a young woman today begging on the street, and with her were two little children, who tugged at her skirt and cried: "Mamma, please take us home; we are so cold and hungry." The Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association of New York, has been in existence eleven years. It is incorporated under the laws of that State. It has a Reserve Fund- of $3,230,401, and every dollar of this amount is for the protection of policy holders. It has over $218,000,000 of insurance in force. It has paid death claims to the amount of $12,550,218, and has never swindled or attempted to swindle a beneflcKiry out of a single cent. It furnishes life insurance at about half the rate charged by the "old line" companies. It has saved its policy holders over $30,000,000 as compared to what they would have been forced to pay the "old line" companies. Policies non-forfeitable and non-contestible after three years. The MUTUAL RESERVE is the largest Natural Premium company in the world, and although only eleven years old, is the FOURTH largest of ANYKIND. GRIST BROS. A BRICE, Gen'l Agents, Yorkville, S. C.
