Monday, it developed that there are stil ? a good many white voters without certificates. The books will bo kept open th< balance of this week, and then there will be three more days in October?the 1st 2nd, and 3d. ^ Mr. Tate Goex to Darlington. Mr. J. A. Tate, ofthis place, has accepted a position as assistant principal of the Welch Neck High school, at Hartsville, Darlington county, and left here on Saturday for the purpose of entering on the discharge of his duties. We congratulate the trustees of the school on securing Mr. Tate's services as he is a teacher of recognized ability and is also a high toned Christian gentleman, and will discharge his duties in a way that will reflect credit upon himself and the school as well. Kverbearlng Peaches. Dr. J. H. Saye of Sharon, left at The Enquirer office on Saturday, four peaches sent by Mr. McAllister Hope, and which practically represent four crops from the same tree. The peaches are of different sizes, ranging from a guinea egg down to about a damson plum. The tree commenced mourning i?n? m iwojuu^ and is blooming yet. It now contains fruit in all stages of development. Consistency of Politics. They tell a funny story of a certain political boss who is said to exercise supreme authority at his precinct. He was especially interested in two candidates, both of whom had served two terms. One he wanted elected and the other he wanted defeated. So in one case he argued that it was a bad time to swap horses, while in the other case he held V? that "after one hog had been fattened, it should be turned out to make room for another." ROCK HILL HAPPENINGS. Want a Union Depot?Uncle Miles Past 70? Other Matters. Rock Hill, September 7.?Just nowall interest centers in the election next * Tuesday. As far as the contest between Evans and Earle is concerned, little is being said; but the other candidates and their friends are moving vigorously. The infirmary at Winthrop college is in oourse of erection. In this, President Johnson has shown his usual tact and judgment. The building will be of approved deeign and will be equipped with every convenience known. It is the intention of the board of trustees to have a resident female physician though no one has yet been selected. We have heard of an union depot for Rock Hill until we are anxious to use another of our senses in the structure. The commission may try and the legislature may follow suit, but nothing will be done until the people take hold of it in earnest. s Professor W. E. Breazeale, the head of the department of mathematics at Winthrop, has returned with'his family from their holiday. He expects to keep house in the residence of Mr. W. J. Cherry next year instead of living in the dormitory. Prof, and Mrs, Brown are back again after an outing spent in the mountains, and which Prof. Brown assures us "could not be beat." Prof. Smith, the efficient head of Ebenezer aeademy, is also at his post. In fact all the teachers are gathering in. "Uncle Miles" Johnson has passed his 70th birthday and notwithstanding the tact that he has thus fulfilled the allotted time ot bis race, walks botb nrmiy ana briskly. That he is as "good as new" is shown by the fact that he is still able to make first-class harness and, on emer genoy, write poetry. Messrs. Mark D. Sullivan and!Calvin Stevenson have gone to Baltimore to take a coarse in pharmacy. Their many friends will miss them but give them good wishes. o. s. LETTER FROM GOLD HILL.* Gathering the Crops?Picnic at Flint HillSuccessful Revival?Closing of the School?Lawn Party at Mr. Crook's. m Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. Gold Hill, August 6.?After a short rest, we are again at work gathering our crops. Early corn is good ; but late corn will not make much, and cotton is unusually light. The peavine crop in this section is good. The Peter Nicholson Society of Flint Hill Baptist church, gave a picnic on Saturday, August 29. There were but few present but all enjoyed themselves. The revival at Philadelphia Methodist church closed last Sunday night after nine or ten days' good work. There were several accessions and all the members feel benefitted. Rev. J. W. Humbert's sermon on the closing night was based on the questions: "What kind of life are you living? Are you serving God or the devil ?" It was a splendid sermon. The meeting was closed with the hymn, "God with T7/Mi fill wa wiAAf ftflrftin." Our school, which has been going on for the past two months under the able management of Miss Maggie Alexander, closed last Friday with appropriate exercises. The house was beautifully decorated with evergreens and flojvers and a conspicuous feature were the words, "Welcome All," worked in cedar. On the right wall was "Gold Hill" in large letters, and on the opposite side was the motto "God Bless our School." In the end opposite the door, in big letters, was the name "B. R. Tillman." Our flag, of course, occupied a conspicuous place, and the first speech was a salutation of it by Mr. Grover Epps. At the request of the pnpils, Miss Alexander most beautifully recited "Sister and I," and alter this prizes were awarded to successful competitors. The school's roll of honor is as follows: 1st class?Maggie Wilson, 99J; Prince Faris, 94; Annie Cook, 92$. 2nd class.?Beulah Faris, 96$; Annie Faris, 94 ; Bessie Faris, 94 ; Minnie Kimbrell, 92; Grover Epps, 93 ; Beulah Kiinbrell, 95 ; Elsie Boyd, 90; Grace Cook, 90 ; Elmore Cook, 90; Bluiner Owen, 90; Joel Epps, 90. 3rd class.?Willie Owen, 94; Coriue Faris, 94; Wilie Crook, 94; Lillie Faris, V 091 Mnrv f!r<viW 03 flmnmin flrnnk. 91 : ^ 1 ?? ~ Grooder Epps, 90; Burney Spinks, 90. There was a delightful lawn party at the residence of Mr. W. H. Crook on the night of the 4th.

With the hope that John Gary Evans will ^B be oue next senator, I will close. ^B BLACKSBUKG* BUDGET. Back From the Mountains?New Cut Road? Tender Jumped the Track?Major John ^ F. Jones for Congress. ? Correspondence of the Yorkrille Enquirer. Blacksburo, September 8.?The recent rains and storms in differeut localities have lowered the temperature considerably, and we are enjoying genuine autumn weather, the evenings and mornings being nearly cool enough for fire. 1 Mrs. M. E. Deal and her party return ed on Thursday last from their mountain trip, pretty tired it is true, for the time ; I but much invigorated and benefitted ? every way. They had splendid weather, " were charmed with the grandeur and beauty of the mountains, and delighted with the kindness and hospitality of the ? people who inhabit them. Dr. J. G. Black and family left on Friday for a similar trip, i The old road leading from Mr. F. H. Dover's to the old Win. Oates place, beyond King's mountain battleground, has recently been made a public road, and was widened and worked out last week, i It will be of much benefit to the people living in the vicinity of Antioch and the battleground, and especially to those engaged in hauling ores to the Acid works at Blacksburg. Yesterday morning, as the southbound train on the 0. R. & C. road, was coming from Shelby, and liatl just crossed a short trestle?the second this side the bridge over Buffalo creek?the tender jumped tho track, and widened it so that the baggage car soon followed suit, and the coach following was about to join the procession wheq Engineer Shiver, called a halt, and the tender and baggage car both left the track. The former turned upside down, and the latter on its side. Road Supervisor Maxwell, with the forces of Section Masters Moore and Smith, was promptly on hand, a temporary track was laid, and the balance of the train passed over with slight delay.. The northbound train was delayed several hours and did not get through until 1.40 p. m. The damage to the road is very slight and is already repaired. S. P. Foster, colored, leaves this morning to attend the Republican congressional convention held at Lancaster tomorrow as a delegate from this place. Major Jno. F. Jones will have a good chance for getting the nomination.. Our citizens are well supplied with beef markets. Besides those already operated by Messsrs. Gault & Cline, A. Q. Smith and Marcus 6. Brown have oponed oue in the Iron City hotel. w. a. YESTERDAY'S PRIMARY. The result of yesterday'9 primary in the county is as follows : Wylie is clerk. Williams is auditor. Shurley is superintendent of education. Culp is supervisor. Mr. J. B. Mendenhall telegraphs The Enquirer from- Columbia as follows ; "Complete returns from Chester, Lancaster and Camden g?ve ?rait J a majority of 1,470." * A. M. Grist telegraph from Char- i lesion as follows : "Earle carried this 1 county .by 1,900 majority. In Rich- | laud his majority is about 1,000 and ] iu Greenville it is nearly 2,000. < A dispatch from Spartanburg says J Evans's majority in that county has r been reduced below 800. < Scattering'returns from a number 1 of precincts through the* state seem 8 to indicate large gains for Earle. Charleston, September 8.?Up to c 8 o'clock the total vote as heard from 8 was 21,590, of which Earle received 15,184, and Evans 6,406. LETTER FROM ZAD0K. Cotton Picking?Will Not Hold For Lower Prices?Closing of the School. Correspondence ot the Yorkville Enquirer. Zadok, August 30.?Cotton picking is now on the rush, money has begun to jingle, and the jugs are going up the road. I don't know whether other people, this year, intend to hold their cotton for 1 lower prices or not; but as forme, I intend to sell as fast as I can. The mer- s chants hang around my field like flying j squirrels, and I see no other way for it. \ But let the wide world wag along as it t will, Old Sut is going to have a good time i as long as he lives, or know the reason j why. Our school at Pleasant Grove closed last Saturday. There was presents handsome, happy crowd of not Jess than 40 children, and also the old folks with baskets of good things to eat. The principal feature of the closing exercises was a spelling bee which was greatly enjoyed. Miss Lindsay, our accomplished teacher, after spending a week in the neighborhood visiting friends, will go to McConnellsville for a vacation. She has gained the unanimous good will of both pupils and patrons, and wo all hope to have her with us again during the winter. Sut. They Stole Some Liquor. Not long ago there was a report in The Enquirer of an unsuccessful attempt to break into the Tirzah dispensary. It was stated that the thieves had broken the fastening off the outsido door; but were probably frightened away before they gained entrance to the place where the whiskies are kept. It develops, however, that this is a mistake. Since the attempt to break into the dispensary, stock has been taken and a member of the board of control informs the reporter that the thieves got $22 worth of whisky. The loss was reported to the state board several days ago.; but as yet the county board has gottou no answer, and it cannot now be stated whether the state or the dispenser will be called upon to foot the bill. p - <r ? n Work at Winthuop.?The Win- e throp college grounds will soon be im- j proved by the addition of a neat aud I elegant buihliug, the infirmary or hos- pital. Work has already been commenced on this building and will be 1 pushed rapidly. It will be situated ^ about twenty-five feet from the wing r of the dormitory, with which it will p be connected by a covered way. The infirmary, like all modern hospitals, will be one-storied with a basement. Its dimensions are 90 by 42 feet. Besides the sick rooms, or wards, it will si contain a physician's oilice, an office q for the nurse and a room for the dispensing of medicines. The basemeut will be utilized as servants' room, 1 kitchen, material room, etc. Special attention has been paid to ventilation, I: and every convenience, comfort ami appurtenance of city hospitals will be "} used. The physician iu charge will be a lady. " At the college farm a large barn is s being built and will soon be comple- c ted. A number of the finest milch cows obtainable have been contracted t. for and the college will thus be sup- a plied with milk. For butter aud cheese, contracts hlxve been made with y neighboring stock farms. It requires s about 40 gallous of milk daily to sup- n ply the college. ^ ITn to date President Johnson has * received over 600 applicants for rooms in the dormitory for next fall. As this will accommodate only 240 students comfortably, over 360 cannot get rooms. However, Professor John son is trying to secure private board ing houses for thetn and has so fa been successful.?Rock Hill Herald Saturday. AT THE CHURCHES. trinity methodist episcopal. Rev. A. N.

STRAUSS IN NEW YORK! e "Delmonico." le , ;r New York City, Sep. 2. To My Friends in York : I * suppose that some of you know that I am here. Although my ar_ rival was not heralded with - as much pomp, fuss and feathers as r was the arrival of Mr. Bryan, I w am here just the same. I wouldn't have you to think ' that I am stopping at this little side street restaurant, named in the first line of this letter. I 3 1 i.t.A jusi came arouna nere on uic pretext of writing a letter so that I might see the 1 'keeper" feed the animals, and law me, he sure e feeds them ! Some of them take as much feeding as a well developed mud mill! Any when they s have -finished, whip out a $30 bill to pay for their meal, ask for no change, and as they walk out cuss the south and west for wanting only money enough to buy a'soup bone ! But friends, this is not what 5 I came to New York for. I came e to buy bargains in Dress Goods, e Clothing, Shoes, Neckware, HoJ siery, etc., and these fellows up a here have seen that "I got the boodle," and they are just trying to sell me everything they've got 3 at 25 cents on the dollar ! They say if 1*11 take all they have, ? they won't touch the other fel; lows at all. They say that they . want to convert their goods into cash before the election, for then there will be a P-A-N-N-I-C-K ! . A P-A-N-N-I-C-K ! Bays I, "What's that ? Can't we have it right now, what's the una in waitinc until after the alec f tion?" 1 Oh ! you see this fellow, Will Bryan, a > Nebraskan upstart, came in town and he has fairly turned the town over, and s the state too for that matter, and he has put the working people to talking the money and financial question, and in consequence thereof business has become unsettled and prices on goods just bought and put in this stock, bave declined 60 I per cent 1 [ "Well, my friend, that is just what I 1 came to New York for?bargains ! Not to talk politics; and if you have any new goods that have declined 50 p.er cent, that will suit my customers, trot 'em out and I will sure stop the decline on some of them. It's what money buys that I want, and you tell your troubles to the policemen, for I have got my goods to buy, and then go home and sell a sewing machine " before the middle of September." Crimson Clover. 8 rTIHIS annual variety of Clover, which X we have been selling so largely for several years, is now acknowledged as the 8 farm ere' best friend. FIRST?Because it will improve land c more cheaply and quickly than by any 8 other means. 8 SECOND?It will produce a crop to 9 graze during the winter months when the " land would be idle and laying out, a 1 crop which can be cut for green food in ? the early spring, or for hay in the late 3 spring and leave the ground improved and 1 in nice order for corn, and the land very 3 much improved. . THIRD?The nitrogen which the 1 plant absorbs from the air and stores in the 3 roots and plant is the dearest fertilizer to 3 buy, but obtained through this quick 1 growing plant at a very small cost, it is 1 ready in the soil to be assimilated by the 3 -next crop. 3 FOURTH?It will grow well on sandy r soil; any good soil is suitable to it. Should be sown broadcast at the rate of 15 pounds 1 per acre, anytime from the first of August to the first of November. Best to [ sow early as can'.
