WIXDLE'S COTTO\ CUI/TIUATOR.
rilHIS valuable labor-saving machine has nov
JL been perfected, and is offered to the plantinj
community with every assurance that it will ful
ly meet a long-felt want. The Cultivator is th<
invention of Mr. W. H. WINDLE, by whom i
has been patented. A trial test of the Cultivato;
has just been made on the farms of Z. D. Boyc
and J. J. Coltharp, near Fort Mill, in the presenc*
of a number of experienced planters, and thei:
/->r?5nir>n <->f its claims iinon the farmers is eiver
as follows :
We, the undersigned, witnessed on the 17th o
May. 1884, the operation of Windle's Cotton Cul
tivator on the farms of Z. D. Boyd and J. J. Col
tharp, and we cheerfully certify that it did gooc
work, and is just what the inventor claims it tc
be. It is a double harrow, with hoes attached
and harrows both sides of the row at the sam<
time, chopping out the cotton behind the harrow!
and leaving the plant in the drill, the stalks i
distance of from 9 to 18 inches, as may be de
sired. The cultivator can be operated as" well bj
a person with one arm as two, as witnessed by us
r doing good work and thus saving the labor o:
one horse and two or three hoe hands. We con
sider the Cultivator one of the greatest inven
tions of the day. A planter using this machin<
for cultivating and the cotton picker for gather
ing bis crop, can produce and save a large crop
independent of much hired labor. Signed?

HOW, WHEN AND WHERE TO BUY.

t Some Important Information on
* this Interesting Subject by
John R. Ashe.
(
Notwithstanding the large quantities J
of goodB which have been pouring out of my ,
* store during the past ten days, on account of the ]
low prices for which they are being sold, I have ]
still an immense Stock of Dry Goods, Hardware,
etc., which I mean to sell AT COST. (
The announcement that goods are to be sold ,
' at cost has been made to the people so often 1
that it has begun to be looked upon as a deceit- <
fnl dodge by many, and they may possibly be :
correct in this surmise. Whether the above as- i
1 sertion be true or not one thing is positively cer?
tain and that is simply this: The startling news
that a stock of goods is being sold at cost fails j
1 to excite the interest it would surely do, were ?
the people satisfied that they were not being ?
f imposed upon. Knowing, as I do, these impor- \
'* tant facts, I propose to make no assertion, the j
truth of which you cannot easily ascertain to <
your own satisfaction. This, my friends, is no ]
ordinary case and it will not pay you to treat 1
this offer with the indifference which is now so (
* often justly accorded to the red flag. ]
I am before the public proclaiming far and s
1 near that I have a large and most complete 1
1 stock of goods of a very superior quality,
* which I offer
7 ALIKE TO THE RICH AND TO THE POOR
j at NET COST. When I say Cost that is what
e I mean?the price which was required to lay
r the goods down at the depot. I bought them
; with reference to this price only, and no other
j expense is included in my offer to you. |
! I propose to prove every assertion that I may j
make, if you will give me the opportunity, by ]
f selling the goods to you just as I say I will, i
Remembering the many times that goods have s
) y- ,i- ? j i a- A ?f ?rtcf T frills
UUtJIl HHUgCU IU UB U1IC1BU IU ^tuu UK luot, *. 1UKJ
realize the necessity of my giving you satisfactory
evidence as to the truth of what I have to '
say. Seeing is believing and all I ask is that
you will come and see. If you find that I am .
either misrepresenting my goods or the prices ,
' thereof. I will allow you to put me down at the
head of your
LIST OF HUMBUGS,
and I will promise to lay no further claim to
your patronage. But on the other hand, should
you find that what I say is true, as I have no '
doubt you will, I think I will be entitled to your j
favors. This proposition strikes me as being ,
fair to all parties concerned. i
^ You will please have patience while I enumer- <
ate to you some of the many advantages it will ?
be your good fortune to secure during this
GRAND CLOSING OUT SALE.
I do not offer these splendid inducements un- <
der the same conditions you have often been <
offered goods at cost (?) before, viz.: to get rid 1
of an old stock ; but under circumstances far j
more favorable to you and myself than we f
have ever before had the good fortune to receive <
the benefit. If you fail to realize the advantages
nrRirtil a? thnu nlaAAlI At. VGIIT rflfllsal. Until tOO '
late, you, alone are to blame, and I have no 1
doubt that it will be a long time before you cease |
to regret the neglect of such a golden opportuni- i
3 ty as this one proves itself to be. Generally >
when goods are offered at cost, it is for the pur- 1
pose of disposing of certain goods which cannot
' command a respectable profit, and also (as is ad
r vertised) to make room for new goods. These
r facts go to show that the goods which are offered i
- you at a reduced rate are really not worth the '
3 room which they occupy in the shelves. When ,
this is the case you find that everything in the
[ store is at cost but the articles you may happen i
3 to want. This is either a curious coincidence, {
r remarkable fatality or downright !
i Nothing like this will occur in my store. You ,
. have the opportunity to choose from as large ;
and varied a stock of excellent goods as can be 1
. found in the county, and considering the fact I
I that they are positively to be
> SOLD AT NET COST
? there is not a farmer in the county who could 1
j not save money by a trip to my store while such
i bargains are to be obtained. Goods are sold at a 1
- mere song as compared with the usual price.
r I have a lot of fine hats and shoes which are so (
cheap that you would almost be ashamed to own ,
in company the low price which you paid for
. them, were it not for the unquestionable fact
s that the goods are
OF THE VERY BEST QUALITY
. ?.I -J ft-... nfinM mrtr>h lnwflr than their real
anu auiu IVI iwu .. v. -??
value. Who, among you all, has ever bought
. an inferior quality of shoos from Mr. Lindsay * '
, If any, you cannot say that he did not make .
the bargain good. Neither can you say that tne
; same complaint was ever brought up afterwards. ]
3 This being a fact which cannot be denied, you (
- can easily understand how Mr. Lindsay acquired
his well deserved reputation.
I will now endeavor to calm your fears on an'
other point. There are some goods which are
more in demand than others. This being the
case, my stock would soon be divested of its
most desirable lines, and thus render it a matter
of mere chance as to whether you find what you J
want or not. My stock would thus become rag- |
ged and be no inducement to you at all. In
order to overcome this very serious obstacle to
the sale of my goods, I haye determined to keep
the stock complete from the Northern markets
without any advance on prices. By this arrange
ment I can dispose of the stock evenly and j
when I close my doors only a few goods will <
remain in the shelves, and I will risk the chances
of disposing of them to my own advantage.
You all, no doubt, understand the circumstances
which led to this stock being sold at
cost. And I have no doubt but you are all aware j
that there is not a better lot of goods in town.
. In order that there can be no doubt as to the ex
act reason why you are offered
THIS SPLENDID OPPORTUNITY,
I will give you the explanation briefly: Mr. i
Robert M. Lindsay, the senior partner, having i
e died recently, the Administrator, in order to
- speedily close the business affairs of the estate,
? found it convenient to dispose of the stock at once
| by private sale. I happened to be the fortunate
e purchaser and will take great pleasure in giving
e imn tho hnnftfif of mv barirain. If vou need any
s thing to be found in a first-class dry goods store,
come and see me at once. I have no fear but
that I can suppiv your demands. At any rate, j
it will certainly be to your advantage to give
me a trial. <
Every farmer is now needed at his plow, but <
there is one excuse which you can give for com- ^
1 ing to town and it is this, you can come to get
I the benefit of
| MY GREAT CLOSING OUT SALE.
You will save more by your trip than you can <
possibly lose by your desertion of the plow.
A dollar is worth more in Yorkville now than '
it has been for a long while and thoy will go j
further at my store than at any other house in i
town or in the county. ]
, The opportunity to purchase goods at such low *
rates does not present itself often and it is not a
good idea to ignore it when it does come. Delay,
in all cases, is dangerous, and is especially
so in this particular instance. J udging by the .
rate my stock has been going for the past ten
* days, I cannot help seeing that this splendid j
chance to buy your goods at such low prices <
1 will soon have passed away. Do not think of
r such a thing as waiting until the crops are laid 1
1 1? ? if ?oi?*o YAtr ia Hia tinin
I U V, Ul CVCIl UUlll XV lamo. X1VU w ...v
strike while the iron is hot. Remember the
old saying which deserves to bo written in let- ,
ters of gold, that is,
"never put off till to-mop.row that which \
m should be done to-day."
You all hold your cotton until it reaches as
high a price as you think there is any possibility
ofMts attaining. This is a good idea, practiced
by all wise farmers, but there is not one of you
? who ever made as much by the advance on the
% price of cotton as you now have the opportunity
1 of making by the decline in the price of goods.
" This, my dear friends, is too good to last, thereg
fore take heed from the many warnings you have
- received and
"make hay while the sun sniNES."
It is unnecessary for me to try to enumerate
the names of the many articles which compose
my stock for I can give the same information
by saying that I have everything, and that includes
a variety. If there is anything you need,
- just ask for it. First go to all the stores in
town, examine prices and quality, then come to
^ me and I feel confident that I will be greeted by
the encouraging order to "wrap it up."
Kind reader, if you have borno my discourse
thus far, I will tire your patience no longer, but
after thanking you for your generous attention,
would inform you that the time to buy is Now.
The way to buy is At t'ONt, and the place to ,
buy is at John R. Ashe'H.

YORK DREG STORE PARAGRAPHS.
We presume the "fact is known and read of all
men" thatthere can always be found at the York
Drug Store, a most complete stock of everything
n the Drug line, that is embraced in the local demand.
Our wants are carefully looked after every
day, and every week brings'fresh additions to
>ur stock. The 'stock is frequently examined
ind when ever a suspicion attaches that an article
is deteriorating or losing a property, it is thrown
eut and destroyed. We, therefore, are enabled to
guarantee the purity and quality of every medicine
sold. We have the pleasure with one or two
exceptions, of furnishing all the physicians in
reach of us with supplies. To those with whom
we have not heretofore had the privilege of dealing,
we would say that we would be glad to do
30, giving them the same prices, for cash, that
r*?n tmrl in nnv Southern iobbiner market.
We still want almost 5,000 glass bottles, pints
md quarts, but they must be as clean as the day
thev came from the blow-pipe.
We would call the attention of ladies and gentlemen
also, to Chase's triple extract of natural
flowers. They are just too exquisitely sweet for
mything. Sold in one, two and eight ounce bottles,
and small sample bottles.
We have just received one gross of Simmons' I
Liver Regulator in powder. Country Merchants '
will be supplied at manufacturer's prices.
The party who has not used Kirk's Soap may |
aot be guilty of an infraction of the laws of Hygiene
or morals, but he or she has certainly been
leprived of a luxury. Kirk's Soaps are sold at
the York Drug Store.
If Peter's Bros.'Razors don't make an individual
smile every time he shaves, just return them
ind get vour money back. Peters Bros.' Razors
sold at tbe York Drugstore.
Finally, friends, there abideth three things that
we feel bound to call your attention to, these are,
Paints, Oils and Painters' Materials. We have
them in the largest quantities, and at the smallest
prices. If any man desires to paint, don't let
aim "call together the Elders," outlet him come
it once to the York Drug Store for the goods and
terms and all necessary information connected
with the job.
Fifthly?We do not want any man to stop a
plow and come to town to give us his note for
Suano or Acid purchased from us, but if he has
not already done so, wo do expect and urge him
to do so, the first day ho is in town.

ENQUIRER OFFICE.
T. M. DOBSON.
HE BLOWS HIS OWN HORN!
^fTfTELL,, Old Chap, with tho aid of that
f T valuable ENQUIRER and your small
changes, you have been blowing your own horn
so long, so loud and so well, for these many
weeks, and have gotten the people so worked up
with your blowing that they can hardly wait for
the ENQUIRER to be issued to get the news."
"And where do they look for an interesting
item?"
"Why tho very first thing they look for, after
seeing who is dead and married, is the Old Chap's
advertisement, to see how his horn toots, to see
how cheap his blasts are, and how long they
will last, and what department they are in, and
when they read they find the cheap blasts in all
departments."
"Well, Old Chap, after so much blowing, and
unr?h lnnir blnwinir and sucli chean hlowillir. and
such lout? blowing, and after the blasts have been
heard all over this county of ours, is it possible
that you have anything left to sell at all, and is
it possible that there is anything left of you, and
is it surprising that you are able
To Give a Single Blast This Week ?
And I do believe if it were not that the ENQUIRER
is built on a solid foundation that you certainly
would have blown a small hole in'itsomewhere.
Now, Old Chap, steady your nerves and
answer me a question or so: After all this blow
ing that you have been doing, and from what I
have seen and heard, is it possible that you have
anything left to blow about?"
"Well, yes, a few things, I am sorry to inform
you. As there is scarcely a train arrives but what
brings me in a fresh supply, by freight or by Mr.
Gullum's Lightning Express, which, by the way,
is very prompt and accommodating, especially
on his upward trip, of those
PRETTY AND CHEAP GOODS
That I have been talking to you about, for lo
these many months, to the tune of a few Greenbacks
a week. I am positive with all my hlowing,
I have a few nice Clothes, a few pairs of
those nice Low-Quartered Shoes, a few of those
beautiful Gents' Hats, some nice Cane Carpeting,
some of Oliver's and Zeigler's nice perfect fitting
Shoes, for ladies, all sizes; and some of those
beautiful Victoria, Persian and Linen Lawns ;
some nice Muslins and Prints, at ocents per yard ;
those nice and cheap
Cashmeres and Dress Goods,
And Linens for Children's wear; those beautiful
face and tlesh Towels, which are needed to be
used so much these times; some of those nice
colored Table Damasks and Doileys to match,

Fly-Fan to battle with the liies while you are
eating; some of those nice Brittania Dippers, to
hold the cool water from whence to quench your
thirst; the best Shirt in America for voung'men
to wear these warm evenings when they make a
short call on their jularkies, and some nice Undervests
to keep the perspiration from soiling
these
GOOD AND PRETTY SHIRTS.
But a gentleman never perspires when he is
about to pop the question on a warm summer
eve. I still nave a few Looking Glasses left, but
the ladies never use them, especially when they
are expecting their beaux to call. It is a positive
fact, after all my bilk, I have a few of those
beautiful

Trimmed ana unirimnieu muies nais,
Also, a few handsome Feathers and Flowers ;
some beautiful cheap Laces; some of those nice
fitting Linen Collars ; a good fitting Corset at 50
cents; some of those handsome Silks, Satins,
Ribbons and Velvets; nice Hoyt's Cologne,
Bloom of Youth and Magnolia Balm to make the
ladies look pretty, those that are not already so.
Most of them 'are naturally pretty. A' few
beautifying Vails and
MOURNING AND BRIDAL HATS.
The latter are not in much demand now. Some
nice Breast-Pins, Necklaces and Collar Pins, also
Hair and Bonnet Pins, all sizes and kinds, and
Round Combs for the little Misses."
"Well, Old Chap, hold on, that will do. I only
nwkerl vnn one rinestion. and it seems as if VOU
will never got clone answering that. So if you
will excuse me, I certainly will not ask another
one this week. This is about as bad a scrape as I
got into last week in having to read what you
said about the
Model Waist lanfiig,
In the ENQUIRER. Now, old fellow, I said I
would not ask another question ; but if you will
be short I will ask about the tits of that Lining?"
"They are perfect and selling well."
"You must excuse me, but I forgot, how about
Dress Making, and how many on hands now?"
"Doing well, sir, full up all the time, and can't
keep up with them.
OYLY 15 OX HAYDN YOW,
And still thevcome."
"The nice tits and beautiful work I hear praised
almost daily. It will not be long until nearly all
the ladies will have their dresses made. You
must do a great deal more than any one else, as I
understand you have seven ladies employed all
the time for that alone."
"Yes, I think wo are foremost in that line. In
fact, this year it seems that the Old Chap is foremost
in all liis departments. Even in the Machine
business. He is selling
THE SIXGER FOR &25.00,
And guaranteeing them for 5 years; he is selling
the famous Household and White Machines.
Also the New Howe, all of which are good. The
Household and White are very fine and light
running Machines, from $35.00 to ?45.00. Our
Mr. STRAUSS and the grey mule have left several
in the past ten days, and expect to leave several
more during the next thirty days. The Old
Chapkeepsall kinds ofSewingMachineNeedles,
Rubbers and Shuttles, and can order out any part
of a Machine for you. The Old Chap keeps a
nice line of Paper, Pens and Ink. Also, Seine
Twine, and all kinds of Hardware, and a good
assortment of

Mrs. DOBSON returns her thanks for such
liberal patronage on her in her Millinery and
Dress Making Department. It has surpassed her
utmost expectations, and no pains will bo spared
on her part to still keep it booming,
Perfect Fits and Good Work Guaranteed.
And tho Old Chap, not to be outdone by his better
half, steps up boldly to the front and says,
thank you Gents, Lauies, Misses and Little
Folks for your kindness in trading so liberally
with him. His motto is
Short Profit, Fair and Square Dealing
With all mankind, both friend and foe, and you
all may rest assured that you will get 36 inches
in every ynrd you buy from him.
With his best wishes for all mankind he makes
a verv low bow until he blows his horn again.

~ TRIUMPH REAPERS. "
WE call the attention of farmers to the TRIUMPH
REAPER, No. 2, which is oneot
the best Machines offered on the market. It is
perfectly under the control of the driver from
his seat, as to height of stubble, reaching lodged
or short grain, passing over obstructions, regulating
the size of the gavel or suspending the rakes
at any point and for any desired time. To show
the appreciation of those who have used this Machine
we give their testimonials below:
Yorkville, S. C., Nov. 10th, 1883.
Latta Bros., Gents: After a careful and thorough
examination of all the Machines offered for
sale here, I concluded to buy a Triumph No. 2,
which gave perfect satisfaction, it being the simplest
in construction, and at the same time the
most durable of any I have seen.
T. L. Carroll.
Clover, S. C., Nov. 12th, 1883.
Latta Bros., Gents : I was very much pleased
with the Triumph No. 2, bought of you last season.
My son, 10 years old, harvested my entire
crop with it, and without the least trouble. Cutting
in some very rough and hilly ground.
Mrs. P. L. Jackson.
Bethany, York Co., Nov. 10th, 1883.
Latta Bros., Gents: I have been farming over
40 years, and the harvest of last season was less
trouble and more satisfactory than on any previous
year, owing to the use of the Triumph No.
2, which gave perfect satisfaction. Wm. Oates.
Yorkville S. C., Nov. 10,1883.
Latta Bros., Gents : I was very much pleased
with the Triumph No. 2, bought hist season and
found it in every respect as recommended.
