The Birmingham Boom.?Most of the ] stories which have come from the scenes i of the "Southern boom" are eclipsed by j a broker who has just returned from Birm- I ingham. A party of impecunious specu- j lators bought from a farmer the "option" of taking his farm at $5,000. They proposed laying it out in town lots, and one of the conditions of their bargain with the farmer was that he must buy from them two corner lots at the average price they should obtain for corner lots at auction sale. The speculators had the land staked off in streets, caused handsome maps of the property to be drawn and advertised the sale. They were vefsed in the mysteries of wash sales, and matched orders, and the way they bid up corner lots against one another was a caution to the auctioneer. Imagine the feelings of the farmer when he found that instead of receiving any compensation for his farm, he was $3,000 in debt to the enterprising ^peculators, his two lots at the average price obtained for corner lots costing Vi i m AAA Vm/1 V/vrZ?

C., a telegram giving a sensational and false account of the sad and sudden death of Mrs. W. A. Mauney, of King's Mountain. The account states that a post mortem examination had been that day ordered and foul play would be shown ; also that intense excitement was aroused at Grover and King's Mountain. The above is not correct. There was no post mortem examination held or ordered. There is no excitement at Grover or King's Mountain and both places still have confidence in Mr. W. A. Mauney's integrity of character. On a slight foundation of truth, these newspapers have erected a vast superstructure of romance.?Shelby Aurora. Hldut fttprts. YORKVILLE, February 9.-Cotton, 8 to 9.

Lowry <fc Starr, Wholesale Agents, Yorkville, S. C. October 6 40 6m Judge for Yourselves, Brethren. It has been said that more is learned by the follies of men than by their wisdom. Judge for yourselves, brethren, how much of truth there is in the saying. If your neighbor paints his house with Slop Paints or other cheap material, and in a short time it cracks, chalks, scales and comes off, you will, if a man of observation and "gumption," profit by his folly and misfortune and will apply this experience and secure yourself against loss when you make an investment in Paints. This is just what the guarantee attaching to Longman <fc Matinez' Paints is for, and it is in no vague or uncertain terms. The proprietors are tangible beings who can be heard and felt through Kuykendal, their local Agent, who will in all cases see this guarantee fulfilled in every bill sold by him. Phenomenal Sales. Since the introduction of Campbell's Cough Cure it has had a larger local demand and sale than any Medicine ever sold in the County. It m has literally gone from mouth to mouth until H hundreds of bottles have been used. W If you have Croupy Children, keep a bottle in the house. If you have a Cough from Measles, try it. If you have Asthma, try it. If you have a hacking Cough, try it. In Whooping Cough it prevents'the whooping or spasm ana greauy uasteus llkj lcj luuinuun vr? the attack. Pains and tightness in Chest and difficultly of breathing, it promptly relieves. If you are threatened with Consumption, try it. A dose taken at bed time on the first symptoms of a cold will break it up. Sold by Kuykexdal, Yorkyille ; J. b. Johnson, Rock Hill; Plexieo Brothers, Bullock's Creek. To Your Credit in the Hereafter. Tell your neighbor bow you were benefitted by Campbell's Cough Cure. It will be a good deed and good deeds count for something in the hereafter. 9. THE rtEV. GEO. H.

THERE is nothing in the world more precious. The eye above all other Organs displays the infinite power of the Creator. It is the most delicate Organ, the preservation of which requires the greatest care. Too often man, naturally careless, neglects it and only perceives his folly when it is too late and nothing is left to him but bitter regret. Therefore, if an article destined to fireserve and strengthen an organ of such absoute necessity, can be obtained, it should be regarded as a great blessing. . Le Mare's Rock Crystal Spectacles And Eye-Glasses have stood the test for many years and over 2,000,000 are now in use, and we have never been informed of a case where they did not give entire satisfaction.

' CYCLONE SPARK ARRESTER. White Oak, S. C., January 5,1887. "m JTR. O. J. HOKE : I have been using your 1Y1 "Cyclone Spark Arrester," and find" it a tirst-class arrangement. I first used it on a 6 fl horse power with a 12-inch stack, and found that I a bunch of lint cotton held over the stack conld I not be fired with the greatest speed I could give " V the engine while threshing. Then, this Fall, I B with a 9-inch stack, and when ginning aiTnigSt I I was unable to stir the fire in the furnace enough to make a spark go out of the stack. Finding that I needed moro draught, you remember you fl opened the smoke-stack wiaer and put on a 12- fl inch saddle and stack. That gives me draught fl enough to lift water 75 feet, to feed the boiler and fl work the gin all at the same time, and to blow off H steam at the pop-valve at 100 pounds. I have fi ginned some half dozen bales of cotton after I night, and as far as any fire from the stack is to H be seen, you would not know there was any near H it. On one occasion, the night was so dark that B only the outline of the stack could be traced fl from the side of theengine room, and vet there fl was no sign of sparks from the top of the stack, fl I have had the fire stirred upside down and I fl find that the cinders getting through come out H black and dead, while the coals fall back drown- fl ed out and finally burn to ashes, in the smoke fl box. I would not sell mine for $100, if I could H not get another like it. While a half dozen gin- fl houses around me have been on fire during the fl dry weather, mine has escaped. I, therefore, fl give you an unqualified endorsement of my fl /"Cyclone Spark Arrester." I think I can sell a fl half dozen around here. Very respectfully, fl J. M. GALLOWAY, fl For the Spark Arrester, or any information fl pertaining thereto, apply to either fl Q. J. HOKE, fl or T. S. JEFFERYS, fl Yorkville, S.
