buy bread, cakes, fruit, caudy or cigars at the
lowest prices.
M. Strauss sails under a banner with
azure 6eld and argent escutcheon, on which is
inscribed the favorite motto "New Goods?
Low Prices."
T. S. Jefferys occasionally runs out a banner,
but our heraldic information is too limited
to attempt a description that would be recognized
by a professional. It consists simply
of an empty guano sack, bearing the mag
ical words, "Navassa."
Col. Metts has also the iuspiritiog ejaculation,
"Eureka" pointing towards his warehouse
iu which this popular fertilizer is stowed.
Kennedy Brothers & Barron hang no
bauner on the outer walls. Their display of
goods, however, is fine and attractive.
Clark Brothers are also minu9 a banner,
but their store presents a full assortment of
groceries, and the bachelor member of the
firm has on exhibition a fine assortment of
cradles?we mean grain cradles?just received

W. H. & J. P. Herndon do not sail under

\ - ^ THE YORK COUNTY BONDS.
Editor of the Enquirer : After a careful
reading of the proceedings in your last
issue, before Judge Hudson, in relation to
the York county railroad bonds, I have reached
some conclusions that may or may not be
worth printing. Such as they are, I shall,
without more ado about it, submit them.
I was originally, and am yet, opjfosed to
the manner of this subscription. I do not
believe, and never shall believe, that three
County Commissioners ought to be clothed
with power to entail a deb? like this upon the
tax-payers of a county without their consent.
If the Constitution and laws authorized it, as
I see has been argued, the Constitution and
laws are wrong, and ought to be so changed
as to prevent, in future, the exercise of such
powers. I am told that an amendment to
the State Constitution, which was voted upon
about the year 1874, and adopted by the
votes of the people, prohibiting, in some
i? ?u
snaps or oiner, me eicaios ui suwu pwn^o,
was uever ratified by the Legislature. Let it
be renewed, and come up again for adoption,
and be incorporated in the organic law of the
State, lest, at some future time, great and irreparable
evil follow as a consequence of
such power.
But, in the present instance, I am candid
enough to say that I do not think the people
of York county have been badly injured, if
injured at all. The more bitter opponents of
the bouds will, perhaps, stand aghast at this
statement; while the friends of the road will
say it is very timid succor. These views are
my own, Mr. Editor, and I am responsible to
nobody but myself for them. How aud why
I have reached them I may as well state.
I own a farm situated between this road,
with its two outlets at Chester and Gastonia,
and another railroad traversing the county.
In 1874 and 1875, before the new road was
built, it cost $5 per bale to ship cotton to
New York. In 1877 and 1878, after the new
line was opened, it cost 83.75 per bale ; thus
saving to me 81 25 on every bale of cotton
sold. Although I did not ship my cotton, but
sold it at home, the saving in freight was paid
to me in the price I got for it. I produced
about twenty-one bales in 1874, and about
the same number in 1877. I saved here,
-"" at 81.25 per bale, 826.25 on my cotton
crop, by reduced freights. I used three tons
of guauo each of these years, and paid the
freight in cash. In 1874 I paid 87.50 per
"?" j ioto r ;_i gi n/\ ,?
too; in 101/ and JOIO 1 paiu wt.\j\j per tun.
I thus saved $10.50 in freight, each year, on
my three tons, in clean hard cash.
I have taken the pains to inquire the
freight rates upon certain other supplies, and
find the followiug as the rates in 1874: Bacon,
molasses, iron, nails, sugar, coffee, bagging
aud ties, from northern or western markets,
cost 95 cents per hundred pounds. In
1877 and 1878, they cost 55 cents per hundred
pounds, thus saving 40 cents per hundred
pounds to the consumer. Salt, in 1874,
was 70 cents per sack ; now it is 30 ceuts.
Dry goods were $1.90 per hundred pounds ;
now $1.40. I know that this reduction in
freights,which the producer aud consumer had
to pay, is due to the opening of this new road
in competition with other liues, and to the
forced abandonment of the onerous freight
tariffs to which nearly the whole of York
county had been so long subjected.
My property, real and personal, stands on
the tax-books assessed at $4,650. My annual
tax to pay interest on these bauds is
$6.98. In 1877, I saved on my cotton and
guano alone, $36.75, which paid my interest
r tax aud left me $29.77 nett profit. I have
not computed here the $4.65 of tax, paid by
me to retire bonds; because the more I pay to
retire, the less I pay as interest the next year.
But take this off, too, and still I have paid all
my taxes out of the profits, and have saved
$25.12?the profits being about two and a
half times greater than the amount of tax
paid.
There has been shipped over this road, to
nnlnte \n Vnrlr r?nnr<tv hptwppn .Twminrv 1 stf
and April 20th, 1878, about 1,200 tons of
guano. A saving of S3.50 per ton is a saving
of $4,200 to the farmers of the county.
There was shipped, from September 1st, 1877,
to April 20th, 1878, over this road, from various
poiuts in York county, about 0,000
bales of cotton. A saving of $1.25 per bale
iu the freights on this article, is $7,500.
Guano and cotton alone, by actual reference
to the railroad books, has saved the farmers
of York county $11,200 since the 1st day of
September last. The whole tax on the county,
for interest on these bonds, is less than
$7,000 per annum, and at the same rate of
saving for twelve months, it will have been
more than twice repaid to them.
Each one who reads this, can calculate for
himself. It convinces me of the fact that
the building of a new line of road through
the county has been a source of proBt to every
farmer within its reach ; and for one, until
convinced to the contrary, however wrong
I may consider the original principle, I shall
willingly pay my tax. If I were, to day, left
to the choice of being relieved of my portion
of the tax, on condition that the road be torn
up?although not dependent on it solely for
my convenience?I would say, unhesitatingly,
"let her stand; I would rather contribute
something annually to keep her going than to
get back under the old local freights again."
As a matter of common business sense, l believe
the people of York will, upon examination,
find the investment a good one.
But, likely, some one will suggest that he
lives south of the C. C. A A. Road, and being
out of reach of this line, my figures
won't apply to him. I say they do apply. If
the new road has offered lower freights, (and
it has done it, and continues to do it,) does it
not compel all roads seeking business from
the same territory to reduce their freights to
the same figures, or else do without business ?
A reduction at Yorkville forces a reduction
at Rock Hill, and vice vert/a; and so as to all
other contiguous points. My friend, living iu
the Indian Land, has received a compensating
benefit, no doubt, from the opening of this
competing line, although he may never have
sent or received a pound of freight by it.
| But another reason for friendship to this
measure i9 this : York county owns one thou'
sand of its three thousand shares. Chestet
, county owns another thousand shares. They
! have been and are being paid for every year,
If Judge Hudson's views are good law, we will
have to pay these bonds, whether we want to
or not. We have paid a good tnany of theui
already. If properly managed, it is good
property for the county to own. If it is not
properly managed, let the counties take charge
of it and put it under proper control. They
own two thirds of it already. It is largely
the property of the people of the county.
Whether we wanted the investment originally
or not, it has been made for us, and a railroad
built and put in operation. It seems to me
1 that, we have cone too far to retreat now.
It would be the height of folly, after the
county has paid out some thirty thousand dollars
ou its subscription of $100,000, to throw
away what it has paid and abandon the scheme
altogether. If it is abandoned now, the road
will be sold to pay its debts for iron, for which
sorae of these York county bonds are pledged,
When sold, we can easily conjecture who will
be its purchaser. Why, of course, that railroad
corporation whose business has been most
seriously affected by this line?the C. C. & A.
Road ! When it goes into its hands, freights
will go back again to the rates charged in
1874. The C. C. & A. Road can make money
enough in one year, off the people of York and
Chester counties, by its increased freight tariffs,
to pay the price of this road, if brought to sale.
I have no doubt but that corporation is watch*
ing and encouraging our strife over this
matter in expectation of this very result. The
fable of the monkey and the chastnuts is appropriate
; and we are likely to furnish a good
illustration of the cat's paw that drew them
from the 6re for the wily animal that wanted
to save his owu skin whole.
I am, therefore, a friend to the road, because
ray interests, and the interests of the
majority of the people of the whole county,
in my judgment, have been advanced by it
to an extent much greater than the cost to
them. It was a good investment, whether a
judicious one or not It is a better one now,
because the road is built and in operation,
and is serving its purpose in behalf of the
public; and because we cannot afford to throw
away what we have paid and do without it.
Let every tax payer of the county consider
this matter candidly, just as if dealing with
his own private property. Let him make
his calculations, and form his judgment as
busiuess men should, without partiality or
passion, and I believe he must reach the conclusions
that have influenced a
Tax-Payer.
REPORT OF THE GRAND JURY.
The following is the report of the grand
jury, made at the recent term of the Circuit
Court:
To the Hon J. H. Hudson, Presiding
Judge: The grand jury would submit as their
roport to the Honorable Court?
That they have examined all the public
offices and find thera in good order; the books
efficiently kept, and papers carefully filed for
reference.
Tbe School Commissioner reports about
oue hundred public schools open in the county,
attended by near the same number of both
races?white and colored?and there seems
to be an improvement in the working of the
system. We find in his office ueed for some
books and other expenses, of small amount,
for express charges on blauks and other matter
for the use of the school trustees, which
we would recommend be met by the County
Commissioners.
We have examined the public buildings
aod find some defect in the roofing of the
court-house. We recommend that the County
Commissioners be directed to have it repaired.
We also recommend that they cause
to be erected suitable water closets, near the
court-yard, for the use of jurors aud witnesses
while in attendance upon court.
We find the jail secure and kept with fidelity,
as to the security and health of prisoners.
The books of trial justices were examined,
and, with two exceptions, approved?one for
not separating the charges for costs ; the other
not presented, but sending excuse of ill
health at this time.
The roads and bridges of the county are
reported as in good condition, and those in
charge attending properly to their duties.
We find the poor-houee and farm in good
condition, with thirty paupers, well clad and
cleanly, and proper care manifested for their
health and comfort. The premises are in
good order; the stock in good condition, with
corn?the product of the farm?thought sufficient
for the use of the farm for the year.
We would commend the superintendent, Mr.
VJTWIlJiJ, IU1 1119 lillCJIbj bW mo uuuto.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

An Astonishing Fact. a
A large proportion of the American people are
to-daj' dying from the effects of Dyspepsia or disordered
liver. The result of these diseases upon t
the masses of intelligent and valuable people is
most alarming, making life actually a burden, instead
of a pleasant existence of enjoyment and f.
usefulness, as it ought to be. There is no good _
reason for this, if you will only throw aside prejudice
and skepticism, take the advice of Drug- -.
gists and your friends, and try one bottle of
Greene's August Flower. Your speedy relief is
certain. Millions of bottles of this medicine have 1:
been given away to try its virtues, with satisfac- p
tory results in every case. You can buy a sample
bottle for 10 cents to try. Three doses will
relieve the worst case. Positively sold by all
Druggists on the Western Continent. For sale in j

WORDS OF TRUTH AND SOBERNESS.
THE issue?life or death?terribly momentous
as it is, and freighted, as it is, with the hopes
and fears, happiness and misery, of the individual,
is often in the hands of the Physician. And
in tills dire extremity, with the destiny of an immortal
soul, for the time, in his keeping, his only
hope is in his knowledge of the cause of disease
and the effect of medicine, and the skillful administration
of certain remedial agents, to counteract
certain fatal symptoms in the patient. Now, the
importance of absolutely pure and fresh Drugs,
ana the great culpability of the Druggist offering
for sale, or the Physician using any other, on account
of their cheapness, must be apparent to the
olmnlnof mind A nnK?ii?Hl\o thfl thllt, Wfi
have written, no Drugs, unless they are perfectly
pure and fresh, are offered at the York Drugstore.
JOHN C. KUYKENDAL.
MILK ANDBHEAD. "
FOND memory throws the light of other days
around ns, and we are carried back to our
childhood. When we did not partour hair in the
middle and had no place to put a two dollar silk
handkerchief; when the birds sang nothing but
spring tunes and wo knew no "winter of discontent;"
when we looked around all week foragood
placo to get red worms to go fishing Saturday
evening; when the cackle of a hen was a sound
sweeter to us than the music of the spheres ; when
we wore but one garment, (it had no pockets in
it) and were set down on the bare ground at dinner
with a tin-cup of "old Blackey's" milk, an
iron spoon and a hunk of corn dodger. Then we
"threw physic to the dogs." But we must excuse
ourselves for these reflections. They were
suggested by the heading of this article. We
were going to mention that we had on hand Condensed
Milk and tho favorite Broad Preparations
and Baking Powders.
JOHN C. KUYKENDAL.
"ONCE UPON A TIME"
TS the way that all stories and fables begin; but
this is not a story or a fable in the sense of its
being a fiction. "Once upon a time" a poor missionary,
upon tho burning sands of Africa, lay
E rostrated with a fever. No skilled and tender
anded Physician was there, no sympathizing
family and friends ; but ho had a bottle of Indian
Cholagogue that he took and was restored to
health again. He did not get it at the York Drug
Store ; but you suffereis from Ague, Chills and
Fever, or any other ma larial disease, can get it
there. JOBN C. KUYKENDAL.
THE POOR7~
EMACIATED, despairing Consumptive will
gain strength and hope and flesh by the use
of Kuykendal's Pure Cod Liver Oil with Trommer's
extract of Malt. For sale at the York Drug

EUREKA AMMONIATED
BONE SUPERPHOSPHATE OF LIME
AND
ETIWAN DISSOLVED BONE.
I AM prepared to furnish the above popular
brands of Fertilizers, in any quantities desired,
at the following prices:
Eureka Ammoniated Bone Superphosphate ol
Lime, cash price, payable April 1st, 1878,....$45 00
Cotton Option, 400 pounds Middling Cotton delivered
November 1st, 1878.
Etiwan Dissolved Bone, Cash price, April 1,
1878 $28 00
Cotton Option, 346 pounds Middling Cotton,
delivered November 1st, 1878.
Freight, in cash, $4.00, or 50 pounds Cotton added
to the above.
Farmers can permanently improve their lands
and increase their crops by using the Etiwan Dissolved
Bone. No Phosphates are equal to it for
composting, and it has been thoroughly tested
without composting, and has been found to equal
any of the standard Guanos sold, and costs much
less per ton. I can, therefore, safely recommend
it to one and all.
There is also a saving in the cost of the Eureka
over other fertilizers of 25 pounds of Cotton on
the ton ; and it is conceded to be equal to any of
the Fertilizers now on the market.
Parties wishing to obtain the above-named Fertilizers,
will call on H. W. HOPE <ft CO., who
will wait upon them in mv absence.
