Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. LETTER FROM CHESTER. Chester, June 17.?Rain fell in different sections of our county last week.. While it was generally beneficial to corn, it interfered considerably with the cutting of small grain. Oats that were cut and lying on the ground were injured more or less by the rain. The yiela of wheat and oats this year, except in places visited by hail, promises to equal that of two years ago unless the wet weather continues. The Catawba Oil Mill, having exhausted its supply of seed, has suspended operations until next fall. The mill has done its work more successfully and satisfactorily the past three months than ever before. During the interval between the present time and the beginning of the next season the machinery and all the appurtenances of the mill will be overhauled and put in good condition so that the work of the mill, with the resumption of operations, will be all that could be expected. Another meeting was held at the Court House on last Wednesday afternoon in the interest of the Lee Light Infantry. At this meeting the reorganization of the Company was completed by the election of the following officers: Hon. G. J. Patterson, captain; C. H. Brice, first lieutentant; G. D. Heath, second lieutenant; J. B. McFadden, third lieutenant and T. N. Berry, first sergeant. The Company has forty-five members, and will doubtless receive accessions. A committee was appointed to secure recruits. The Lee Light Infantry starts off again under favorable auspices, and even those who cannot join, wish for the Company every success, and, morever, will give it a helping hand. The Company will be ready for the inspection of the Adjutant-General in a few weeks. A meeting of the Chester Democratic Club was held in the Court House on last Thursday afternoon. Col. J. S. Wilson on taking the chair stated the object of the meeting to be the taking of action in regard to the mode of nominating candidates for the Legislature and county offices, the election of delegates to the County Covention, and the selection of a representative of the Club on the County Executive Committee. The first thing in order was the election of a presiding officer for the next two years. G. W. Gage, Esq., was honored with this position by acclamation, and on taking the chair made some appropriate remarks. Some time was consumed by the Club in discussing the disposition to be made of some money that was contributed in behalf of the political, prosecution fund. It was decided to reserve it for campaign expenses. The question in regard to the mode of nominafiror nrliHnh?? wiis then nresented for discussion. The primary election plan was unanimously adopted. A motion that the primary election canvass be conducted without any appointments for public speaking called under the auspices of the County Executive Committee produced a lively discussion. It was finally adopted with the understanding that the clubs should have the right of inviting the candidates to give their opinions on the vital issues of the day. Some opposed a public primary canvass on the ground that it might result in engendering bad feeling among the members of the party, while others favored it even if the "fur did fly." J. M. McNeel, Esq., was reelected the representative of the Club on the County Executive Committee. The election of delegates to the County Convention was the next business in order. A large number of nominations being made, the following gentlemen were elected by ballot in the order named: R. A. Love, J. M. McNeel, T. C. Gaston, W. A. Sanders, J. L. Chambers, E. C. Stahn, E. C. McLure, J. K. Henry, I. L. Gunhouse, G. J. Patterson, G. \V. Curtis, S. M. Jones, A. G. Brice, G. W. Gage, J. L. Glenn. One colored man joined the Club. This action on the part of the colored brother elicited great applause. The future must tell the number that will be inspired by his example, and follow in his footsteps. ** On Friday last a large number of colored people from our town visited Lincolntou, and returned the same day on an excursion train. After enjoying the day they were almost home when a row began which re suited quite seriously. George Crosby bad his throat cut with a razor by some unknown party. The instrument that did the bloody work is in the hands of our Chief of Police, who has reasons for entertaining suspicions as to the perpetrator of the act, but prefers to wait developments before making any arrest. The wounded man, after bleeding profusely, received medical attention on the arrival of the train at this place, and while suffering from weakness, may be considered out of danger. The Circuit Court convened here yesterday, Judge Witherspoon on the bench. After giving the grand jury general instructions in regard to their duties, he urged on them the importance of enforcing the laws. While they had the right to recommend the repeal of any law by the Legislature that was considered injurious to the public welfare, it was their duty to do their part towards securing its enforcement, while it was on the statute books. His Honor called the attention of the Grand Jury to the law forbidding the sale of intoxicating liquors, and to the law forbidding the carry ing of concealed weapons, and urged on tne jury the importance of the enforcement of these laws. His charge on these points was such as fully met the public requirements. The Solicitor laid a number of indictments before the grand jury. With a single exception, a true bill was found in every case. The attention of the Court was engaged the greater portion of the day in the trial of the case of the State vs. Arche Brice, colored, charged with stealing cotton. The defendant was acquitted. The case of the State vs. Tilmon Gaston, Judson Heath and Isom Crockett, charged with arson, was then begun, but during the giving of the testimony the Court adjourned until next morning. At 9 o'clock this morning the Court reconvened and continued the trial of the arson case. The prosecutor in this case is Mr. J. O. Hardin, who accuses the defendants of burning his cotton house and several bales of cotton. The defendants are represented by Messrs. McNeel & Henry, who arq conducting the case with ability and skill. At the present writing it is still going on. Tne amount of taxes collected in this county during the month of May was $8,210.23. Mr. J. B. McFadden has given satisfaction as treasurer, and thus far has no opponent for re-election. m. Jfimmcial an!) ContratrriaL Yorkvillc Market. REPORTED BY RIDDLE <k PEGRAM. , YORKVILLE, S.

II GENERAL. ON account of their cheapness, Mineral Oils are fast superceding all others as common lubricants. These Oils are made from Petroleum which is obtained from wells bored in the oilbearing regions of Pennsylvania and other States. The first yield of these wells is gas. In order to isolate the lubricating principle, the crude Petroleum is subjected to distillation, and again in this process the first product is gas. There is still another generation and emission of gas when "Groceries" in his primary effort in Oil speaks of being able to sell cheaper than "Drugs" who may have equal money facilities and certainly the'advantage of experience if he has any at all. IN PARTICULAR. Speaking for the York Drug Store Man individually we would say to the consumers of Lubricating or Machine Oils that we have several grades in stock and propose meeting prices on any of them.

Most of us have wives and babies, and 1 ? those that have not ought to have ; but may be g| we havo aged parents, or dependent brothers and r< sisters who look to us for support, and that makes us all interested in money matters. In this cold world of ours, the moneyless man is ^ always left out in the cold; no one can get along ^ without some money. Some can do on less than g, others, and the wants of some are more easily satisfied than others ; but it is a fact that cannot bo denied, we cannot get along without money. Now, how to make it is the question. What to J1 get at to catch up with it! Goto the mechanic, merchant, farmer, lawyer, or doctor, and each will say at once there is no money in it. You may tackle the minister, and ho will truly say there is n barely meat and bread in it, and some of them do not oven get that without going outside of the ^ profession to make it, for if ever there was a class j of men poorly paid, it is the minister. He is j supposed not to need much. His children are i] supposed to he clothed and fed for nothing, or in IS other words, it costs him nothing to feed and clothe them, and for his part, he is supposed to J1 live or feed himself on grace, which is very good in its place, but it does not pay the merchants' p bill. But to our text. It is the way with all n classes you may interview. All say no money T in it, but they all seem to live and move all the same. There is a living in almost any pursuit in life, provided you stick close enough to it, and p do not spend more than you make. It is true, g everything is worked down to a very fine point, and most things are well worked for all that is in them, and a great many of them have quite a I poor living for those that work them, not much tl for the dear wife and precious babe, but still they ^ all seem to live and move as if there was money in it, and still they all cry how can I make mon- C ey? One will advise this way, the other that i way, and you may try all and fail. But what s does it matter so you are happy? Content- j 1 ment of mind is worth more than piles of money. ' Money cannot bring contentment, but still most n of us will take the money and run risks on the c other. Money, if properly used, will greatly 2 help us to be content, but few of us use it in that way. But stick to your text, how to make money. You get off the path too often, Old Chap. s Well, sir, to your text. The Old Chap steps C boldly to the front, on paper, and tells you plain1 ly and in a few words, the course to save money, and if money is saved of course it is made, and e now for the way. It is quite easy, the road is c smooth, no hills to climb, no rivers to cross, no c risks to run, no margins to put up, no dealing in ( futures, all present, no sleepless night to put over about it. It is a smooth sailing boat, no high tides to contend with. All you have to do is to a , step aboard and take a seat. The ride will not [ cost you much, the Old Chap's boat fare is low, and the ride is easy, the only difficulty is first L to convince yourself of the fact and all is over. , It takes a long time to convince some, others not so long, and some you cannot convince at all, or ( at least you cannot get them to acknowledge h that they are and some refuse positively to try to be convinced. Such as these cannot expect to make money, no matter how easy it may bo for them. And now comes the tug of war, the text, i how to make money. How is it? How long 1 does it take? How much work is in it? and 1 what will I have to do ? Now, my friend, don't 1 . keep me standing out in the cold, waiting. I am J in a hurry, time is money for me, may be more j in the time than in the Old Chap's advice, but as p you are in a hurry, I will usher you into the Old t Chap's office and ask him squarely if he can tell f you. Well, Old Chap, here is my friend, who 8 n-ojifa tn lftimv hmv tr\ malro rtionov and mm von " havo promised to tell all who wanted to know, * | please proceed in short order. The Old Chap 0 , looks him straight in the eye and says: C t "Buy your goods from me, sir, and the thing i is sure." What did he do ? Did he faint ? Did he stand 011 his head? Did he become furious and want -i to pull the hair off the top ox theOld Chap's head? If he had tried the latter ho certainly would have had a happy time indeed, as he would have * had to wait for a new crop. Did he clap his hands for joy, or did he tear his shirt, or did he tell the Old Chap thank you, sir, and step down and out. J No, sir, he did neither, he bcileved at once, had ( faith in what was told him, and went straight- 1 way and done as he was told, and never since ^ ' that time, has his pocket-book been empty?al- ^ ways money in it, sometimes just after visiting j, the Old Chap's store. His crops have been pret- f ty light, but still he is never without money, and I his subscription to his church has increased eve- j r ry year since, for the Old Chap saved him money ^ r and in saving money he made it, and, of course, i I he is more able to support his church. Now, my o kind reader, will you do likewise? If so, you 1 can pay your minister better, you can save your j . church subscription, provided it is not too large, every year by buying your goods from the Old . Chap. Just try it one year, and if you don't say j it is so, I'll bind myself to eat the very next j green frog I can get. The Old Chap is pretty a . liberal, he never takes it all, always leaves you f I some to come again with, and if ever you come j once, you are sure to come again, because you f see he saves you money, and whenever you go I into a man's pocket you come very near his heart, a especially when you take out less than ho has. d That is one reason why the Old Chap has such a larxre trade. When he xroes into a man's purse " he does not take all, he is willing to divide and save them money, and in saving them money, he makes them money. Now, my kind friends, von [ may think just as you please, as this is a free country, about this little advice, provided you 1 do not think too loud, and provided you do not let any one hear you think, as in little towns ^ like ours, people often imagine they hear so-and- a so thinking, and even go and say Miss so-and-so c said so-and-so, when they did not even think | so-and-so. But you can think just as much and j as long as you please about the Old Chap's cheap j goods, just so you think on his side, and be sure e to think loud enough to be heard. But it is a stubborn fact that cannot well he denied, the v Old Chap is selling a great many goods this year, n and, of course, he sells cheap, or he could not sell so many, for as I told you before, when you a get into a man's pocket his feelings change ac- a cording to how you use it. So if the Old Chap was going deep into men's pockets his trade . would leave him right now. Friendship would r i not cause so many to visit his Store. His ene- i; mies trade with him, and you know it is not b friendship that brings them, it is the money that 1 is in it, and they are right and I glory in their * spunk. Business is business and friendship is j friendship. If I can buy goods from you cheap- f or and save money, of course, I aui going to do so even if I do not like vou as well, as Mr. So- fl ti and-so. That is another reason that the Old * Chap has such a large trade. It is generally j known that if you want a bill of goods the Old v Chap must be seen before the purchase is made, t "i -11 c a. i. >11^ ? it T as tliey tninK Uiev can no as won 11 not ueuer mere andean get a chance at the Buggy, Sewing Ma- 1 chine and Watch. One reason the Old Chap is so poor to-day is, he sold goods too cheap, done too much work for no profit. ^ Now, my friends, the Old Chap has but a few r more words to say, and he will say them right t ' now and quit for this week. If any person does not think that he has found the right way to make money, just let him come and buy a bill of goods from the Old Chap, go home and compare with other bills of a similar character, and say he has made no money, if he is a good shot and will z bring the Old Chap some squirrels, he will show him his generosity in buying them from him. , And now, my little boys, as you can't work ' i much on the farm, nor lull much grass, and if i you do not like it better than I did when a boy, , you do not care much about killing that kind of ^ an animal anyway, I want you to make some * i small change and nave some' fun, too. I want I 1,000 small tish, any kind, 100 green frogs, 100 squirrels, 25 cooters and 100 young chickens. r. Remember any kind of lish will be bought by S( the Old Chap, if fresh. " S( 'PIia lnOioa will nlftiiso hear in mind that But- ?i terick's Patterns and Moscowitz Model Waist tl Lining cannot be had at any other Store in town. Also hear in mind that Mr9. DOBSON is offering bargains in Millinery, specially in trimmed Hats to close out, and, in fact, many other things. Parasols can now bo bought very cheap. Mrs. (' DOBSON'S Dress Making is still booming. Most of those nice tits you see come from her estab- a lishment. All fits and work guaranteed to give C satisfaction. She employs experienced seamstresses and a good titter." Dresses cut and tit at a short notice, at popular prices. So when in tj town drop in and see what you can buy cheap in h Millinery, and if you want a dress cut and tit or c , made, now is a good time to have it done. The Old Chap has the best Chewing Tobacco for 50 cents per pound to be found in Yorkville. Z 500 pounds just arrived. Be sure to call and see it. 1 With these few remarks, through the valuable J ENQUIRER, which gets almost everywhere in v York county, by some means or other, the Old g Chap closes for this week, with thanks for the C l past. He will be on hands next week if no mis- v fortune befalls him. T. M. DOBSON, T Leader in Millinery and Dress Making. J L. LOWRY SMITH^ Fancy and Staple Groceries.

ASHET~ INCREASED FACILITIES. 1*7ITH the help of painters and carpenters, Vf I have thoroughly renovated and remodeld the interior of my store room, which now resents a much neater and more commodious ppearance even than before. I found this flange necessary in order to make room for hat splendid stock of goods which it was recenty my good fortune to purchase from Messrs. . R."Lidnsay <fc Co. I am so situated now that can give better bargains in many lines than ver. Not even excepting those Exceeflingly Low Prices rhich I have been offering during the last nonth. I can supply you with almost anything from . sheet of writing paper to a hogshead of molasses, t a price which will even compete with TIionc of New York. This state of affairs cannot exist always, but t will be found upon investigation that there is ./it n tiiurn nf untruth in this sfifttninclv extrav gant statement. And you will also find that I lave a monopoly in these bargains. During the past thirty days I have sold more han four thousand dollars worth of goods and his is an immense quantity for a single estabisliment to sell in one month, especially in the ace 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 cas highly pleased with the low prices "offered hem, and* I can and will oiler the same indueeuents for some time to come. Give me a trial lext time you come to town. Miacliine Oils. I have just received a lot of the very best MA1AINE, TRAIN and other lubricating oils, k hich I will sell as General Merchandise, thus educing the price about twenty per cent, lower han if thev were sold as drugs !
