CIRCUIT COURT, Mr. Jos. F. Wallace, Clerk of the Court, 1 publishes an official notice this week in regard to the holding of the June term of the ~ Circuit Court for York county, which puts i to rest all doubts that may have been entertained on the subject.

On lastFriday evening, Mr. MosesStroupe, of Gaston county, and his son, a youth of about sixteen years, went to the, town of vjnniaMAiintoi'n fnr fhp nnrnosfi of remov- , ing a reaper which the father had bought. After hitching their teams and starting for home, the horses the young man was driving became frightened and ran away. In attempting to jump from his wagon he be- | came entangled in the lines, and was dragged , a distance of 150 yards, receiving severe bruises, from the effects of which he died in a few hours. j IMPORTANT PAPERS. In convenient form, for future reference, we print on the fourth page of this paper I the Constitution of the State Democratic ' party, as adopted in 1882 ; and also the Ar- i tides governing the Democratic party in < York county, and the Rules for conducting i the primary elections in York. We also ? print in full, on the second page, the plat- J form of the Republican party as adopted ' last week in Chicago. This last-named doc- , ument, however, is not published as a political chart, but for the information of our readers, and our political readers are advised to preserve this paper, which will be found convenient for reference on the subjects named. _ ! ATTACK OP VERTIGO. j About noon last r'Tiday, while ex-Congressman A. S. Wallace was returning from town to his home six miles in the country, when about two miles from town, and near ! the residence of J. W. Morris, he had a severe attack of vertigo, and fell from his ' buggy to the ground in a helpless condition. Fortunately his little grandson w#s with 1 him, and medical and other aid wasspeedi- ( ly procured. Mr. Wallace was taken into i the house of Mr. Morris and Dr. Jackson i was summoned to his side. In the afternoon he was able to be removed to his home, i and at our latest account was recovering, though he suffers some inconvenience from a hurt received in falling from his buggy. SEASONABLE RAINS. Seasonable rains continue to fall and, as yet, there has been no complaint of dry i weather. The cool weather of May was a ; little damaging to cotton ; but with the recent warm weather the plant is becoming healthy and vigorous. Corn is also promising. The wheat harvest is progressing, ! and the yield is proving satisfactory. There i is some complaint of oats not yielding the expected crop. This is owing to the fact that much -of the crop was injured by the unfavorable weather of the winter. Upon 1 the whole, however, the crop outlook is 1 very favorable, and it is satisfactory to know that our farmers will produce more . than an average crop of grain. , DEATH OF MISS KERR. Miss Mary Isabella Kerr died at the resi- ' dence of her brother, Capt. R. C. Kerr, 262 ( ^VAnf A^lounc nn "Priflflv Ol. vimnu^ou, xivw W*v** - *?^^v%7 -%^?, aged 62 years. Miss Kerr was a native of Mecklenburg county, N. C., and she and her brother were well known in thL section, Capt. Kerr having formerly lived in Yorkville. The funeral of Miss Kerr took place last Saturday. Referring to her death, the New Orleans States of Friday says: There was a general expression of sympathy for Mr. R. C. Kerr, secretary of the supervision , department of the Cotton Exchange, at the los? J of his only sister. For years, the devotion which has been displayed between this old couple has , been the admiration of all their friends,, and the 1 severance by death's cold hand, of the one tie , that bound an aged man to earth, has lx)wed hini ' down with grief. We deeply and sinperely sj'inpathizewith him in his loss. COU.1TY CROP REPORTS, A note from Blairsville informs us that fine showers have visited that section for several days past, harvesting is progress- ' ing favorably, aitti. while wheat is turning out fine, the cvat yield will be only tolerable. Cottpm"'is small, but generally clean amJ^Jfci#1 improve very rapidly if favorable ^feather continues. Corn on uplands is - generally good. There is some complaint of bad stands on bottoms, owing to the jL "bud worm." A King's Mountain correspondent informs , us that never before was there a better J -L ? XT X r< crop prospect lit nun stxuuu. vum uuu I cotton are looking well, and farmers will commence laying by the former crops next week. Wheat harvesting has commenced and with no disaster to the crop, the yield , will be unprecedented. [ DRAMATIC ENTERTAINMENT. 1 The Yorkville Amateurs gave a very en- ' joyable entertainment in the College Hall , last Tuesday evening, the programme consisting of the comic opera, Crimson Scarf, by Legouix, and the Irish Drama, Handy Andy. The leading characters in the opera ] were taken by Messrs. H. F. Adickes, H. K. ; Jenkins, R. A. Bratton, J. W. Colcock and ( Misses Jennie Coward and Camilla Cole- c man. The piece was well rendered, both , as to the acting and singing, and the cos- ] tumes, of Venetian style, were something finer than we are accustomed to seeing on the Yorkville stage. Mrs. Coward presided j at the piano and the musical aecompani- j ment was faultlessly rendered. The audience, however, was better pleased ! with "Handy Andy." Mr. J. W. Colcock | j assumed the role of Andy, depicting the '1 character very well. Mr. It. A. Bratton as j1 'Squire Egan, Mr. S. L. Latimer as 'Squire j O'Cfrad.v, Mr. W. B. Moore as Mr. Murphy, j < Mr. Withers Adickes as Dick Dawson, Mr. ,J O. J. Hart as Mr. Furlong, Mr. Paul G. Mc- J Corkle as Simon and Mr. H. K. Jenkins as < Edward O'Connor, all acted their parts well. Mr. Jenkins developes genuine dramatic I talent. Oonah Rooney was admirably acted by iVIiss Coleman, Miss Mamie Lou Coward was equally successful a3 Fanny. Dawson, and the character of Mad Nancy,- assumed by Miss Jennie Coward, was rendered as perfectly as it could have been done by a professional. The entertainment was interspersed with music by the Striug Band under direction of Mr. A. S. Withers, and the entire performance was quite creditable. t . CHURCH NOTICES. Presbyterian?Rev. T. R.

Sheriff King was in charge of the posse who shot and killed Boggan Cash when the latter resisted the warrant of arrest. ? The Attorney General has given his opinion adverse to the payment of the $500 reward offered for "the apprehension and conviction" of Boggan Cash, as the terms of proclamation under which the reward was offered were specific, and under no other circumstances could the reward be paid. ?Says the Columbia Register: Comptroller-General Stoney has revoked and canceled all license to agents of the Irving Insurance company of New York doing business in this State, as the Insurance Superintendent of New York has investigated the affairs of the company and reports them as unsound. ?

Lincolnton, N. C., June 9, 1884. Editor of the Enquirer:?Will you let me tell, through your columns, of thekmdnes9 and sympathy extended to me and mine, by the people of York county, in and around McConnellsville? The Enquirer is their cherished family paper, which has so'long and carefully reported whatever interests and helps them. In March last, my daughter, Lida, took charge of a school at Olivet Church, a stranger among strangers. But strangers soon became friends. Exposure and too much effort, during the rough weather, before "the winter was past and the flowers appeared on the earth," were attended with cold and influenza, which developed into slow fever with typhoid symptoms ; ana as she became interested in the pupils, and before the end of the first month, she was prostrated and bad to call a physician. He found her very dangerously ill, at the residence of Mr. Wm. B. Love, uear McConnellsville, and very promptly and kindly advised me of her situation. First, a sisterVent to nurse, and then father and mother were summoned and attended her for eight weeks, much of the time in the greatest anxiety of feel nnr\nn)a/l fnnHnplv fn nn*? 111^. V/Ul ailUrtLIUH ?^]JOCUCU TV! J vva?tviAj W VV.4 friends, whose sympathy was expressed often and 111 many ways. But in our distress, the kindness of strangers was specially helpful and substantial, and moved much sorrow from our hearts, and we learned that when the heart is pressed with heaviness and agony of feeling molts the emotions to tears, there is much real sympathy and thoughtful kindness in all men/ The long, constant and faithful attentions of Dr. Win. G. Campbell, the attending physician, tfee courteous and helpful services of Drs. Reedy, of Lincolnton, Anderson and Bratton, called for consultation; the hospitality, patience and long-continued kindness of Mr. and Mrs. Love, in whose home we had rooms and board, at the busiest farming season; the frequent calls of neighbors and strangers; the manifest and tender concern of school children and offerings of their parents; the attentions and ministrations of neighboring pastors, Revs. W. T. Matthews and J. L. Wilson ; the repeated offers of services and attentions by the families of the heighborhood, and the general inquiry from all as to our situation; tlieseall manifestetl the interest prevailing for us and awakened a feeling of gratitude which burdens us for expression. Such scenes and such demonstrations make us love our country and people more, and long to be more worthy of" their favors and confidence. May Clod, in great mercy, ever bless and foster the families in and around McConnellsville, who so kindly ministered to us in our great distress, in the Spring of 1884. R. Z. Johnston. r ?

DOBSON. ON THAT FATAL MORNING t,! , ? rt J On the morning spoken of above, I rose early, arranged my toilet, partook of a frugal breakfast, -p. J* got my long stem pipe from the old mantel and Jp if j took a short smoke, ordered my little bay pony, J 3, called Nod, to be saddled, and my Winchester un rifle and pistols brought to me. I arose from my ^ le smoke, buckled on my brace of pistols, swung my Winchester rifle across my shoulder, mounted my pony and sped away over the hills and through the glens. The rays of the sun were beaming down, seeming to come the nigh way, ? if possible. The lanes seemed as if they never would come to an end, and the shady part of the road I seemed to flyover, as it were, into the hot Of _ rays again, and they began to be fewer and much ~ farther apart, and the scorching heat from the parched earth, with the smoking dust, seemed as s if it would take my breath, and there were but La 3 few places for myself and Ned to quench our ^ n thirst, but on we sped, little Ned foaming with ^ perspiration out not siacmng nis gait, in me least, j r. seeming to know that the destination of his rider t 's must be reached at all hazards. Parties by the > roadside and people who met us on the highway, M' ^ stood amazed, and gazed on the foaming Ned and )r his armed and dusty rider, not daring to ask from whence he came or whither he was going; only a short look and he was out of sight. Then n came the remark, he has surely murdered some >s one and is fleeing from justice ; or is in pursuit ^ of some tramp who has transgressed against the Ar 1 laws of his country. All these thoughts arose in ? ; the minds of those who were passed on the way, but in a few hours' ride the country became more ^ n thickly settled, and, of courso, we came in con- Caf e tact with more people, and more curious ones, J >3 too, for they began to ask questions of the dusty an< rider, such as, "Whatis the matter? Where are you going ? Who are you after?" and all such A ~ questions. They began to be so numerous and seemed to be asked in such candor that the rider ? became a little uneasy for fear his progress might be interrupted, so he alighted at the first crossroad store he came to and asked if they had a lo\ marking brush and some white cloth? They re- 1 plied in the affirmative. The dusty rider called ^ar for one yard, and just tore it in half and printed on each piece OLD CHAP, it i s. And let it hang from the skirts of his saddle so it . * could be read by every one that was passed, and soon Ned was on his way puffing and blowing. j Now the remarks of those that we passed were 1 such as, "Is that the Old Chap we have heard so Soi much about? or what has the Old Chap done? . * Just as I expected, he would come to some bad * , end. No man could say so much and do so much (j without doing something bad, so he is fleeing. All these kind and unkind remarks were made about the rider of Ned, but no one after looking at the bright pistols and glittering Winchester t rifle dared to molest the dusty rider. With his an, ' 1a.i? Vinio on/1 n)oaminir In the unn nnH lii? I fin 10 JLxjtill auu uooiu givaiuiug vuv u.v ..M black sunken eyes and sun browned complexion Hj '9 made him look as if he might be Buffalo Bill, c0' u from the Texas Swamps, and no one in this civilized land wanted to encounter such a desperado i0t as ho is said to be. 1 Now my kind friends, do you want to know 5 who he is, and where he came from, and how it a ^ came to be a fatal day, and who it was a fatal day ne{ for ? Why, my dear friends, it was a man from i one of the dark corners of York county, and his C ^ full name is John Richard James William in Robert Washington Arthnr Ward, who has handled such piles of money and who had heard so much about the Old Chap's cheap goods that he was determined, at all hazards, to go and see for himself and mako his purchases, and he being a man of money and influence, ho blew the Old Chap's horn loud and long in his country, im and that being the case, it was Ag Sai I z A Fatal Day for all Merchants in Yorkville j i. rie: As the dusty rider, who had piles of money, has been purchasing his goods from the Old Chap ever since and has caused numbers of his friends to do likewise, and is atiil blowing the horn loud and long for the Old Chap. The Old Chap still ^.t blows his own horn pretty well through the aid elsi of the valuable ENQUIRER. Now, my kind ~ friends, do not get vexed, nor pull your hair, nor ^ tear your shirt, just because it took the Old Chap so long to tell you about that fatal morning and where to buy cheap goods, for it will all grow up e in a short life time and you will not be the loser e a hundred years hence, but it you continue to 11 buy goods from the Old Chap, your children will Y be richer and wiser for it. After the above remarks the Old Chap would v like to inform the people that he still has a few i- of those pretty Shoes, e I (1 MCE CLOTHING, T it And beautiful Dress Goods and Cassimeres left, Jwhich he would bo pleased to exchange for ; J. Greenbacks. \ 1 Mrs. DOBSON says she has just received some A 1 of those pretty A 1 ... A1 A 1 J Hate and Bonnets, Ar ;e s A 1 y Laces and Dress Trimmings, that have been ereating such a flurry in the market all this Spring, and which has made her Store so popular among Qr) the ladies, and her He H Ar d Vel . DRESS-MAKING ESTABLISHMENT A 8 A 8 r Is still in full blast, turning out such nice tits ? and work. It seems as if every one wants their An work done at Mrs. DOBSON'S, because she does * it so nice and gives such good fits. j l" abc ^ whi The Old Chap if 1 Wants it distinctly understood that lie still wants K. y Minnows, Green Frogs and Turtles, for which ? 0 he will pay the cash, especially if you will sell ? them as cheap as he sells his rags. WAITED. T Chi s qus bla i., Every man, woman and child to buy TWO DOLLARS' WORTH and let the Old Chap present them with a chance to win the BUGGY, SEWING MACHINE or WATCH. Cal bou lab' BARGAINS. Z : vat Ha: Would say that many Bargains in Clothing, DroB8 vioous ana certain lines 01 snoes, iiats ana Bonnets. Also, in Summer Cashmeres and Cassimeres, and in fact, " Ind Nu Most All Kinds of Goods, soh Cre Hoi Glo Which will not sell in the Winter. Now, my kind friends, call and see the Old Chap's goods and get his prices. He says so much and tells such nice tales that some people Tri j do not credit all he says. He cordially invites [ stot j everybody to call and see for themselves, and * | don't take his word for it. Ii I Now my little boys, bring the Old Chap some A n MINNOWS AND GREEN FROGS m This week, as he is more than anxious to eat a i Sunday breakfast of Minnows and Frogs.

KUIRENDALr YORK DRUG STORE PARAGRAPHS^ We presume the "fact is known and read of all men" that there can always be found at the York Drug Store, a most complete stock of everything in the Drug line, that is embraced in the local do maun. uur wauuj are careiuny looiteu aner every day, and every week brings fresh additions to our stock. The stock is frequently examined and when ever a suspicion attaches that an article is deteriorating or losing a property, it is thrown out 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 so, giving them the same prices, for cash, that can be had in any Southern jobbing market. We still want almost 5,000 glass bottles, pints and quarts, but thev must be us clean as the day thev came from the blow-pipe. M/'e would call the attention of ladies and gentlemen also, to Chase's triple extract of natural flowers. They are just too exquisitely sweet for anything.

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," but let him come at 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 Guano or Acid purchased from us, but if he has not already done so, we do expect and urge him to do so, the first day he is in town. LATTA BROTHERS " TRIUMPH REAPERS. WE call the attention of farmers to the TRIUMPH REAPER, No. 2, which is one ot the best Machines offered on the market. It is perfectly under the control of the driver from his seaL as to height of stubble, reaching lodged or short grain, passing over obstructions, regulating the size of the gavel or suspending tne rakes it 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 thorDUgh 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 seaion. My son, 10 years old, harvested my entire crop with it, and without the least trouble. CutLing insomo very rough and hilly ground. Mrs. P. L. Jackson. Bethany, York Co., Nov. 10th, 1883. Latta Bros., Gents: I have been farming over 10 years, and the harvest of last season was lees :rouble and more satisfactory than on any previous year, owinp: to tiie use o'f the Triumph No. 2, which gave perfect satisfaction. Wm. Oates. Yorkvii.ee S. Cm Nov. 10,1883. Latta Bros., Gents : I was very much pleased ivith the Triumph No. 2, bought last season and found it in every respect as recommended. J. 0. Walker. After the above thero is nothing more for us to jay, except that we guarantee everv Machine, md always have extra pieces on hand. LATTA BROTHERS. JOHN R. ASHE. INCREASED FACILITIES. WITH the help of painters and carpentors, I have thoroughly renovated and remodel;d the interior of my store room, which now jresents a much neater and more commodious ippearance even than before. I found this mango necessary in order to make room for hat splendid stock of goods which it was recentv my good fortune to purchase from Messrs. r. R. Lidnsay & Co. I am so situated now that [ can give better bargains in many lines than iver. Not even excepting those Exceedingly Low Prices vhieh I have been offering during the last nonth. I can supply you with atmost anything from i sheet of writing paper to a hogshead, of molasses, it a price which will even compete with Those of Xew York. This state of affairs cannot exist always, but t will be found upon investigation that there is tot a tinge of untruth in this seemingly extravgant statement. And you will also find that I lave a monopoly in these bargains. During the past thirty days I havo sold more han four thousand dollars worth of goods and his is an immense quantity for a single estabisbment to sell in one month, especially in the iaee of this particularly dull season of the year. The truth of what I "have said with respect to [uality and prices having been tested to the exent of four thousand dollars, I can no longer ee room for reasonable doubt, nor do I believe t exists. Every one who called to see my stock vas highly pleased with the low prices offered hem, ana I can and will offer the same induccnents for some time to come. Give me a trial text time you come to town. Machine Oils. I have just received a lot of the very best MA/AINE, TRAIN and other lubricating oils, rhich I will sell as General Merchandise, thus educing the price about twenty per cent, lower han if they were sold as drugs !
