Cotton Nearly All Picked?'This Scribe Visits Greenwood?News Scarce. Ninety Six, S. 0. Oct. 4, 1887. The bible reading Sunday morning con*" ducted by members of the Epworth League was Interesting and showed a study of tbe bible. Mr. Albert Betts presided, assisted by several members of tbe League in reading selections appropriate to tbe different headings. We -visited ^Greenwood last week and took in tbe grand opening. The ladles were out in full lorce during tbe day, but tbat htqh nn aian t hat the gentlemen were not anxious to see tbe pretty things on exblbldltlon as well as tbe beautllul women, for Thursday night Rosenberg's store was so crowded with tbe sterner sex that the fair ones could not see or be seen. Quite a cold wave bas rolled upon us and fires feel very comfortable. Cotton has nearly been picked out but owing to low prices is not being sold very fast. The freight treins on the Southern railroad are stopping at this place now. Mr. Fat Gibson, who is well remembered Is engineer on on a freight and his friends are delighted to have him in town. Miss May Emanuel, of Bennetlsville. bas returned to take charge of the fellowship school. Miss Emanuel taught this school tbe past year and gave entire satisfaction. Miss Ruby Anderson has returned to Greenville where she will continue ber (studies. Miss Lease Sloan is attending Converse College. Mies Amelia Tompkins left for Columbia last week.

It Is said that the prettiest thing In ladles hats this year is a pretty face. This being bo bring along the pretty face, and| go to Mrs. Taggart's new place ol business on the Public Square and get the pretty bonnet to match the pretty face. Her hats are so pretty that even a plain facearrayed in one of her best will be simply irresistible. A lady's fate Is sometimes sealed by the flutter of her apron string. Lovers fall down and worship the pretty face that Is encased in a pretty bonnet, I And this bind of Idolatry is not forbidden In i hnlv writ.

Why Not Enforce Thb* Law? Newberry Herald and News. A good deal has been said about petting i I some wav to force the original package^hou - seslnthis State to pay license or tax. The 1 fact ts they neither pay a license nor a tax, and still they conduct a business. The General Statutes, at sections 26S and j 1 269, provide: "Sec. 26S. (217.) It shall be the duty ol ; each county auditor to ascertain the names ot -11 onu hnoinpac In h 1K till (JCIBUUB bUIUUI0Ul/>un ....j county after the first day of January annu-1 ally whose capital or property employed In Ruch business was not listed for taxation In his county for the then current fiscal year. , "Sec. 269. (21S). If any person, company or j r corporation shall commence any business in ' i any county of this State after the first day of | ' January In any year, the capital or property | I employed In which shall not. have been pre-{ I vlously listed for taxation In said county, j and shall not, wilhln thirty days thereafter, I ) make Bucb report to the auditor of said coun-! I ty as Is required In section 207, he or they ; ' shall forfeit aad pay the Bum of one hundred i i dollars, which shall be collected, by civil ac-i l Hon, in the name of the county supervisor,j and paid into the county treasury for the ex-1 I elusive benefit of the county. Andprocessln I Ruch case may issue out of the Court of Com- | mon I'leas of the county in which Buch busli neRR was commenced, directed to 1 tie proper j i officer, and be served in any county ofthiRj State." i If this law were enforced these houses would either have to return tbelr stocks for j taxation or pay the flue prov cted. Why not | enforce It? The P^uropean armies create the big j gest horse market iu the world. There is no good reason why this country' should not be the leading source of supply for the cavalry of Europe, but it is not. llecently the French Government sent over an army officer to learn as to what extent this country could be drawn upou for French cavalry and artilery horses. His report was most | favorable. Though tardily, the Secretary of Agriculture is moving to in' creuse the American horse trade abroad I by sending out an expert to study the II European market and advertize our ) superior advantages for horse breeding i t __________________________ ) Water Works.
