not nearly enough. About a half mile ' from the mill there is a small stream ; that carries a sufficiency of water, and | by means of a large pump, worked by < electric power, this stream has been I made available. The pump has a ca- ? pacity of 125,000 gallons of water a day, J ?v^ otr-oam is able to furnish this J amount. From now on the water problem will cease to be a bane to the lives of the managers of the mill. Kacaped From the Gang:. William Edwards, who has been serving a sentence on the chaingang for stealing, made his escaped last Tuesday night, and was followed some distance by the dogs without success. When last seen he was about five miles northeast of Yorkville, making his way to the North Carolina line. Edwards is an ex-penitentiary convict, having spent about eight years in that institution. He is a bright mulatto about 35 years of age, 5 feet 10 inches high, black hair and eyes. While in the penitentiary he acquired the habit of tipping his hat to white people and saying "yes, sir," and "no, sir" to questions. The supervisor of York county wants him bad enough to pay {25 reward for him. The Growing Crop. There is much difference of opinion as to the condition of the growing cotton crop in this section, some holding that the yield will be better than usual, and others holding that it will not be so good. A local cotton buyer, who made a trip to Tirzah, Wednesday, has given the reporter the result of a little investigation he made on the road. In passing along the road where ( fields cultivated by separate owners i come together," he said, "I got out of J the buggy and counted the bolls on J nine stalks on either side of the road. ' I made no effort to select the poorest ( or the best. On one side the average ?i of nine stalks was seven full grown ( bolls to the stalk, and on tne other it 5 was nine bolls to the stalk. A little J further on, I made another similar ( count, and on one side found an aver- 4 age of twelve run grown dous ugamoi * an average of fifteen full grown bolls on the other. I am satisfied that either of the fields would average more than seven bolls to the stalk all over, and this is generally considered to be a very satisfactory crop." The cotton man went on to say that in his opinion the York county cotton crop promises better than at this date last year. AT THE CHURCHES.

( ) sponse from the people of Yorkville and vicinity to give ., Yorkville- merchants consideration in buying goods, has & *? shown us conclusively that the people are willing to pa- j| . - - .... . $ trouize home merchants if the home merchants show a t dispostion and willingness to cater to their wishes and ? fancies. But let us carry this point a little further, and + as we carry it further, dear reader, we wish you to bear in & mind that there is nothing vindictive or personal in what 2 we say ; but we take it for granted that "if the cap fits you 1 you will wear it." Turn your mind backward 1900 <| years to the Biblical story of the "Widow's Mite." You g will remember that the poor widow was commended more ? for the offering of her pittance, than was the man who * gave of his great wealth. Now, let us localize and mod- ? ernize the story, which we do with all reverence to the ? Bible story. Mr. John Doe, who lives in Yorkville, earns ? $300 a year, and Mr. John Roe also lives in Yorkville % and earns $1,500 a year. Both get the money they earn, x either directly or indirectly from the people of Yorkville g and York county. John Doe may be a ditch digger, or a 9 wood hauler, or a blacksmith ; but when he spends his ? money he puts it in the hands of local dry goods men, gro- ? cers, furniture men, druggists, butchers, liverymen, and ? so on, and at the same time contributes his portion to the ? churches, and to the town, county and state taxes. John ? Roe may be a druggist, a merchant, a lawyer, a doctor or ? an officeholder, and he too contributes his portion to the ? church, and pays his towu, county and state taxes, (these 5 things won't come through the mail), but when he buys dry goods, groceries, drugs, furniture and so on, John ?J Roe sends off a mail order and pays for a money order or 2 * . ; bank exchange, as well as express or-freight charges. *! Now, please figure out the above and tell us who contrib- $ 1 utes the greatest proportion to the prosperity of the com- j \ munity? Is it John Doe,, the ditch-digger? Or is it 4 ^ John Roe, the merchant or professional man ? We are j J o willing to abide by your decision. ( ) Please remember that there is nothing personal in o the above ; but we are simply making a broad gauge ar- \! gument to a broad gauge people whom, we believe, are g willing to see things as we see them. And in making the J | above argument we realize that we have a duty to the peo- ^ pie, and that is the furnishing of such goods as our peo- | pie demand. In regard to this we shall say for ourselves, 2 that if at anytime you do not find on our shelves just the s article you want, we will take pleasure in getting for you $ what you do want, if you will tell us what you want, and t ten chances to one we will save you money, as we will g buy from the wholesaler what you would buy of the re- * tailer; and please remember that where the retail mail or- ? der house has to pay hundreds of thousands for advertis- 2 ing and pay thousands of salesmen, the wholesaler's ad- 1 vertising bills are meagre in proportion and his employees ? are numbered by the dozen. 2 About Our Millinery I and Our Milliner. I We have employed a milliner in Baltimore to have ? charge of our Millinery department this coming Fall and 2 Winter, and realizing that good milliners, like poets, are ? born and not made to order, we instructed Armstrong, j| Cator & Co., of Baltimore, the people who handle almost t two-thirds of the millinery sold in the Southern States, to ? employ for us the BEST Milliner they could?one of the 2 kind that was born and not made?and accordingly they ? have informed us that they have engaged a Milliner for 2 us who has as good an eye for the blending of colors and i as artistic taste as can be had anywhere at any price. 2 The Baltimore concern has a reputation for being truthful * i in such matters, and we have no hesitation in saying that t our lady friends and customers can confidently expect the |j BEST and MOST ARTISTIC MILLINERY ever turned | out of a Millinery store in Yorkville.
