The machinery of the court was at once put in operation. Wrongfully Accused. While Mr. James G. West, assistant cashier of Southern Exchange Bank and Trust Company of Atlanta, was in Yorkville last week, there developed a financial trouble with his bank. The stockholders became suspicious, charged that Mr. West bad absconded and had the affairs of the bank put into the hands of a receiver. Mr. West receved information of the trouble at this place by telegraph, and immediately set out for Atlanta, where he showed the suspicious stockholders that he had left full instructions as to his books, etc., in his absence. Everything was found to be all right so far as Mr. West was concerned, and the attorneys who had made charges against him promptly offered apologies. RUCK HILL HAPPENINGS. White Memorial Chapel Burned?Sam Jones I Coming?Fraser Tuggle Shot by Roland Dosier. Correspondence oi the Yorkville Enquirer. Rock Hilt.,, March 15.?Last Saturday morning, the White Memorial manse was destroyed by tire. The inmates were awakened after daylight by the smoke and odor: but it was too late. The building was erected in memory of Rev. J. Spratt White, by his brother and sisters. It was a complete house, finished in first ( class style. There was insurance for $1,500 on the building. Rev. Mr. Jones had no insurance on his furniture, much of i which was lost; a severe blow to him. It i is likely that the congregation will rebuild at once. For sometime, a committee have been in correspondence with Rev. Sam Jones with the intention of securing his services for a meeting here in May. It is now announced that they have succeeded, and that the meeting will be held in May. A large auditorium will be erected lor the , purpose. Sunday night, Fraser Tuggle was shot by Roland Dosier. The bullet entered the right breast, penetrating right lung, , and Tuggle's condition is reported as serious. The cause of the difficulty seems to have been an insignificant quarrel over the proficiency of some one in riding a 1 T^Uir.

Sharon, March 15.?Mr. Gaston, of Blacksburg, has opened a store here, and Mr. Joe Plexico has opened a store and livery stable. Some of the posts for the telephone line have already been put in position, and it will not be a great while before we can converse with the people of Yorkville. Mr. J. A. Byars's new residence is nearing completion. The amount of fertilizers that have been hauled away from here, so far this 1 year, is something unusual. It is probaably upwards of 350 or 400 tons. Mrs. R. J. Whisonant and daughter are visiting at Hickory Grove. Mrs. Win. Sherrer, of Blacksburg, is visiting friends and relatives here. i N. W. Hardin, Esq., of Blacksburg, was in town last Saturday on professional business. The new council took hold of the reins of government last Saturday night. It consists of Dr. J. H. Saye, intendant, and Messrs. J. B. Ross, J. H. B. Jenkins, C. L. Kennedy and E. B. Ratchford, wardens. Mr. R. C. Ratchford, who has been quite ill for some time, is showing signs of improvement. Miss Alice Davis, our assistant teacher, has returned to her home, her term hav iug expried. She is an efficient instructor and very popular, and the people generally regret to see her go away. m. c.

For Contempt. State constables J. M. Scott and W. ; J. Havling were arrested in Charleston last Friday for seizing liquor in- ' tended for alleged personal use in violation of the United States interstut commerce law. In the event of the failure of the constables to give bail for the sum of $1,000 each, they will be committed to jail. New Constabulary. Governor Ellerbe has completed the re-orgauization of the state constabulary. There were 162 applications for positions on the force ; but of these only 42 were accepted. The force is divided into "upper" and "lower" divisions, the former being in charge of Chief J. R. Fant, and the lower in charge of Wm. N. Bahr. Among the constables in this section are J. T. Thomasson, York; I. McD. Hood, Chester; J. H. Brice, Gaffney ; S. T. Howie and J. N. Clautou, Lancaster. W. H. Newbold, of Chester, isretaiued as a special detective. Will Return $10,000. Columbia Register: Governor Ellerbe returned to the city yesterday afternoon from Clemson college where he had been attending a meeting of the board of trustees. He said the chief matter of business was the proper expenditures of the income of the college. Another matter of great interest. to the taxpayers was the determination of the board to return to the state $10,000 which the college drew over the appropriation a year or two ago. The appropriation was $25,000 but for some clerical error it was made $35,000. The extra $10,000 was used "7 t but will dow be returned. The college will not lack for the sinews of war this year. Already the privilege tax amouuts to between $49,000 and $50,000. There are 330 studeuts in attendance. The governor stated that things were moving along smoothly. Good Roads In Spartanburg. The supervisor of Spartanburg county is agitating a proposition to issue $200,000 worth of bonds for the purpose of improving the roads. The supervisor claims that first class macadamized roads may be had for $1,000 a mile, and the aggregate sum proposed will macadamize 200 miles. A Perplexing Problem. Governor Elierbe has a perpleing problem on his bands in the case of S. C. Dickson, of Greenville, who was sometime ago sentenced to 42 months in the penitentiary for forgery. Not long ago Dickson showed simptoms of inaanitv nnd nnnn examination the , ?? "I doctors pronounced the case to be genuine. It is desirable to remove the man to the asylum, and here is the trouble. There is no law for such a case. The only way to manage the matter is to pardon the man, and then in the eveut be should recover his reason within a few days or a few months, he would be free. If the fellow is really crazy the governor does not like the idea of keeping him in the penitentiary, nor does he like to grant a pardon with such an easy possibility of his clemency being abused. The Income Tax. Columbia Slate : Dr. Timmerraan, I he state treasurer, in talking over the fiuancial situation yesterday, took a less hopeful view of the income tax than does Comptroller Norton. "No," he said, "I hardly expect the amount of revenue derived from that source will exceed $5,000." As Comptroller Norton, he thought for the state to derive any benefit of the tax that the initial income should have been $1,200 iustead of $2,500. In that case, he said, a considerable amount would have been raised. The doctor jocularly remarked that had the tax been levied on all iucomes in excess of $1,200 that the slate officials would have beeu reached by the tax. As the matter now stands the governor's is the ouly salary above the limit. Others of the officials, however, will have in no" (to tav ob their cnlnripa u'ilh the revenues from their farms and other sources will give them the taxable iucome. Nothing but Talk, Very Likely. There is considerable talk going on just now about a possible change in the dispensary law which, it is said, will be urged by some of the strongest friends of the dyspeusary system at the next session of the general assembly. Briefly expressed, the proposed change is to retain the present system so far as the state in general is concerned and give the cities of 10,000 inhabitants and over the high license system under dispensary regulations as provided for in the state constitution. The friends of the dispensary law who favor this plan believe that such a provision will be for the best interests of the state and the system. They all agree that the present system makes no material difference to the man who lives in the country who wants his whisky in bulk so that he can carry it home. The argument in favor of the proposed change is that the bulk system will never prove satisfactory to the people who live in cities of the size indicated. A different class of people have to be dealt with.- The change, it is thought, will settle all issues over the dispensary satisfactorily. This is the view those who are talking of pushing the measure take of the matter. But others who have stood to the dispensary system are now in favor of doing away with it altogether, taking up the license system for the whole state somewhat upon the plan proposed by Senator Mayfield. ?Columbia State. A Typical Cabinet.?It would be bard to imagine a more interesting and typical picture of the conditions of political life in the United States than is presented by the cabinet of the new administration at Washington. The secretary of state was born in a log cabin. The secretary of the navy and the postmaster-general are the only college graduates. The secretary of the treasury was once a watchman in a lumber yard. The secretary of the interior is a self-made millionaire. The attorney general is a co-religionist of the lord chief justice of Great Britain, and the secretary of agriculture is of foreign birth. Of such a cabinet it cau be truly said that it is wholly free from discrimination on account of birth, creed, social antecedents or any form of sectionalism.?New York World.

RE-L I-A - BIL-I-TY IN A WATCH is as important as is reliabilty in an individual. And a good watch needs good attention, by good workmen, often when his watch has been regulating the sun for years, and keeping correct time in a fog. Every watch, nomatter how well, apparently, it is running, should be cleaned out and oiled at least once in 12 months to prevent the wearing and grinding of the sensitive and delicate parts. I can prevent this trouble at a nominal cost. Let me examine your watch. WATCHES AND CLOCKS And a nice line of Jewelry can be seen at my store. T. W. SPECK.

It is not only the best buggy built in the southern states; but is also the best finished, in painting and trimming, while its durability is equal to almost any requirement. The painting never allows it to present a shoddy, makeshift appearance at any stage of its existence. While it is made to sell, it is also made to satisfy the customer and represent a value equal to the price for which it is sold. It is LIGHT AND STRONG and always built of the very best material to be had, and in all stages of its construction it is passed through a thorough, severe and critical inspection by one whose first thought is to nave it built as nearpefection as human skill can accomplish. We make them to order or keep them in stock, and it will be to ydurinterest to consult us when in need of a vehicle. THE CINCINNATI BUCCY Can always be purchased from us and at almost any price. We can furnish them in any style desired. When you purchase a Cincinnati Buggy you had better first get our price, for the reason that if you don't you might throw money away.

The Leading' Fire Insurance Companies OF AMERICA ARE represented by us, including the the famous JETNA of Hartford, Conn., whose motto as adopted by the late President Brace, was "we pay the losses if it takes every dollar, and MY OWN individual fortune besides." And in the great Chicago fire of 1872 its total loss was $3,782,000.00, which is conclusive evidence that "it had money to burn." It is the strongest American fire insurance company, and pays its losses promptly. Since its organization it has paid out in fire losses over $79,000,000. S. M. & L. GEO. GRIST, Agents. TRUE THEN?TRUE NOW. THE following statement.from Mr. W. S. Wilkerson was published in the Enquirer in March, 1891, relative to the merits and value of the GENUINE CORBIN DISK HARROW. The statements were correct then and are now: Htckory Grove, March 23,1891. Mr. Sam M. Grist, Yorkville, S. C.: Dear Sir?I bought a No. 7 Corbin Disk Harrow from you in October, 1889. I was delighted with it the first time I tried it. I now consider it an indispensable implement on the farm. No farmer who looks afte.* his own interest can afford to be without it. To give an idea of its value at this time, when every farmer is so far behind with his work, I will say that I can take my Harrow, with one hand and four mules, and put 300 or 400 pounds weight on the Harrow, and break eight acres of | cornstalk, cottonstalk or stubble land in one day, and prepare it deeper and better in every way than can be done with eight mules and eight bands in the ordinary way. [I have a weight box on my Harrow. It is the length of the beam, and is 9 inches wide at the bottom, 11 at the topj ana aoouc iu incnes aeep. xi is msueueu on to the beam with bolts.] Last spring I plowed up my cotton stalks and with the Disk Harrow and two mules, cut the stalks and pulverized my land to the depth of five inches at the same operation, and at the rate of an acre an hour. Wheat and oats can be put in with it much better than in the ordinary way. One hand and two mules is all that is necessary to put in 8 to 10 acres a day. The best prepared land I have ever had was a piece of weed stubble turned in the fall and cut up with the Corbin Harrow in the spring. In conclusion, let me say that the Harrow thoroughly breaks and pulverizes the land and leaves it in a porous condition. Land that has been pulverized with a Corbin Harrow will not bake. Respectfully, W. S. Wilkerson. Now, reader, do you know Mr. Wilkerson ? If yon do, don't you know that he is a truthful and honest man and one of the best, most practical and successful farmers in York county? Don't you know?aren't you absolutely certain?that he would not have made the statements if had not KNOWN that they were correct? If you believe what he says, don't you also believe that you are standing in your own light when you try to farm without a CORBIN DISK HARROW? Call and see me about one. I have them in stock. Sam M.
