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.

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.

~mfTO MAKE MONEY! j
The way to make money wo are all interested if
in. 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

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 !
