Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer, j LETTER FROM CHESTER. Chester, S. C., January 28, 1879. Our town has been the scene of another fire. About 9 o'clock on Thursday night last, the drug store of Davega & Howze, situated on the public square, was discovered to be in flames, caused, as is supi>osed, by spontaneous combustion of inflammable materials in the cellar. The Stonewall Fire Engine Company, (white,) and the Champion Hook and Ladder Company, (colored,) were promptly on the spot, and did faithful work in subduing the flames and in preventing wliat might have proved a serious conflagration. Owing to the combustible nature of much of the contents of the building, it was only by the most heroic exertions of the fire depart ment that the flames were arrestee, f ortunately, a good supply of water was convenient, which was most effectively used by the "Stonewalls." The entire stock of Davega & Howze was destroyed, and the rear of their building seriously burned. Their loss on stock is estimated at about $7,000; insured for $4,000. The damage to the house is also covered by insurance. Among others who suffered by the fire are the following: W. T. Robison, damage to stock by water and moving; C. Whitus, furniture, and Mrs. Annie T. Dunn, confectionery, also damaged by water and removal of goods. The express and telegraph office being near, some confusion ensued in that well-regulated establishment?especially with the wires and instruments; but the indefatigable manager, Mr. C. H. Brennecke, had every thing in good working condition by next day. Mrs. Melton, proprietress of the Merchant's Hotel, also sustained some loss. The Chester Reporter was also unfortunate, by having the material of the office badly disarranged by moving, in consequence of which the paj>er cannot be issued this week. The Stonewall Fire Company held their annual meeting on Wednesday night last, and elected the following officers for the ensuing year: President?Juo. L. Chambers; First Pirector?John B. McFadden; Second Director? T. C. Gaston; Third Director?David Hemphill ; Fourth Director?M. H. Hunter; Fifth Director?Wm. E. Walker; Secretary?T. W. * IT . Ji1,,. <Jiawson; treasurer?o. n. uauuumi, gineer?J. F. Green; Axemen?S. A. Murphy and Thomas L. Chambers. During the present year the company will hold their meetings for the transaction of business, etc., in the hall of the town council, a room in the Agurs building. From a friend who made a trip last week to our neighboring town, Rich Hill, or as it is now called, Richburg, on the Cheraw and Chester Railroad, I learn that the road is in fine condition. The new passenger coach, recently added to the road, is neat and quite comfortable, and is generally filled with passengers every trip. On the day mentioned the receipts of the road, from travel and freight, were about 880, which will do very well, considering that there are only seventeen miles in oi>eratiou. President Hardin gives as his opinion that the prospect is favorable for extending the road next summer. He is now having a wagon route surveyed and cut out from the present terminus of the road at Cedar Shoals, to I^ancaster. The wagon road will intersect Catawba river near the location of the railroad bridge. For the purpose of transferring freight and passengers, a safe, reliable ferry will be established under direction of the management of the railroad. If the towns of Lancaster and Chester are not immediately placed within rapid communication, it is hoped that before a great while they will be within easy reach of each other. Rev. Dr. E. J. Meynardie, Presiding Elder of the Columbia district, filled the pulpit of ^ the Methodist church at this place last Sunday, the occasion being the session of the quar' terly conference. There was a large attendance of i>eople in town last Saturday, and it seemed to be a busy day with the merchants. *-* fnr nlonf_ i? &nil0rS UrC IIIciKJllg picpaiativno i\?i pujiu ing, and from what I can learn, the colored l>eoi>le are prompt at making contracts for the present year. Lieut. George D. Wallace, of the 7th U. S. Cavalry, was in Chester, yesterday. He has been at Chicago for several days, attending as a witness in the court of inquiry in the case of Major Reno, with reference to the- Custer massacre. Lieutenant Wallace being pressed for time, made only a Hying visit to relatives in the county, and proposes to return immediately. Chester. For the Yorkville Enquirer. TOWN REVENUES. Mr. Editor : The town of Fort Mill, in our county, bouxU 300 inhabitants. It also sports two bar-rooms. What of them ? Well, the "City Fathers" license them quarterly? the two winter quarters each ?200 per quarter, and the two summer quarters each ?100 ; the two bar-rooms paying ?1,200 per annum, or ?000 each. Prior to January 13th, instant, the bar " 1 -X O.VIA rooms iii Y orkvilie were ncensea ai jaw per annum, and recently the license has crept up to ?350. Not a mill is levied on the taxable property in Fort Mill for municipal purposes. Yorkville has a debt to pay, and the excuses of municijwil administration also, by taxation. We cannot assume that any "handwriting on the wall," as the result of the last election, notwithstanding the interest manifested, and the tenacity of human life has raised us from ?200 to ?350. Nevertheless, Mr. Editor, would it not be well for our citizens to do the neat thing?purse it?and send our "City Fathers," not with Governor Hampton to Florida, but to Fort Mill, for a week or ten days on a pleasure trip for their health V There, too, they may not be annoyed with an excess of "beef, veal, pork or mutton." This, surely, is the "latest agony." As, however, the "ordinance" establishes no i>enalty?savoring greatly of modern legislation in South Carolina?it is to l>e hoped it may remain a dead letter on our "statute T36SKT" Words were but wasted to declaim against this species of indirect taxation; for that has been a hobby for the financial legislators of our nation for the last half a century. But, these articles when retailed, passing through a middle hand, must command a higher price. It is a rule without exception, that the consumer pays the tax. If 40,000 to 50,000 pounds of "l?eef, veal, pork and mutton" l>e any thing near?most probably less? than the amount consumed by the citizens of Yorkville in one year, and the ordinance affect a change in prices from one-half to one cent per pound, and we have at least ?200, an amount double any i>ossible expected revenue. Xor are we unmindful that these articles of daily food cost sometimes, indeed, almost all the time, from one to four cents more per ]K>und at the market house than if bought of the street venders?from whom the better quality is invariably obtained. There is a grim satisfaction, however, in \ contemplating who is most affected by the "lawand like the rest, we can bear it. T. NEW LAWS*OF THE STATE. * As Act to regulate the number of Jurors who shad be in attendance on the Courts of Coin- j mon Pleas and General Sessions. Section 1. That whenever, by reason of j challenge or otherwise, there is a deficiency in the number of grand or petit jurors duly I drawn and summoned at any terra of the ' court in any county of the State, and said deficiency shall be supplied as provided for by the second section of an act entitled "An Act to provide far the drawing of juries in certain counties, and to amend the law in relation to the drawing of juries," approved Juue 8,; 1877, the number of jurors actually in at-' tendance at the court at any one time shall not exceed thirty-six, except in case the deficiency is caused by the number of challenges in any one case; in which event the ju-; rors drawn to fill up the place of those chal-1 lenged shall serve only until the verdict is rendered in said case.

Sec. 2. That after the passage of this act, the judges of the Courts of Common Pleas may hear and determine actions for partition, and may grant all writs and processes in such actions, at chambers, in the like manner and with the same effect as are now granted in term time.

Sec. 2. The said auditors, or their assistants, shall give thirty days public notice of the days upon which they will be at the places designated in the first section of this act. Sec. 3. All acts or parts of acts inconsistent with this act are hereby repealed. Approved December 24, 1878.

Pro vided, That said certificates be tendered for the taxes of the fiscal year in which the same are issued, or the next fiscal year. Sec. 2. That the county treasurers are hereby required to receive the pay certificates of the aforesaid jurors and witnesses, whenever presented by any party holding the same, in payment of taxes due to the amount of such certificate. Approved December 20,1878. For the Yorkville Enquirer. Hampton's dream. Live!
