Fctkt Mill, January 7.?Owing to an oversight in calculation, while regulating ' the gearing of the cotton mills to the speed of the new engine, the factory had to stop work a few days last week. The trouble was in the pulleys that transmit the power to the spindles and looms, the band wheel for the latter department being too large. The trouble has been remedied, however, and the Machinery works like a charm- Jha spinalis .are all up and will soon be ready for bnHEsir According to the repo.K the treasurer last Sunday, the Sutjg y-school fund, which is being raised lftthe purpose of building a chapel for tBVactory operatives, amounts to $116. work of raising this fund is progre^Bg quite satisfactorily. v On the 27th ultimo, t^Hibllowing offiI cers were installed tf^Brve Catawba Lodge, A.

V A most malignant form"!dysentery is playing sad distress with Bte family of Mr. J. P. Bailes, over in La jaster county, about three miles from thjplacc. Five deaths have occured in the?mily within the past week?four of Mr.TBailes's children and his nephew, Joseph Pettus, a young man of about twenty-three years. Mrs. Bailes and her remaining child are now down with the disease. Dysentery is not epidemic in this section, and it would seem evident that the dread scourge is due to some local cause. A personal difficulty occuired between James Hoagland andTomNevinsat W.E. Griffin's store, on the 28th ultimo. Hoagland cut Nevins's throat with a knife, barely missing the carotid irtery. The wounded man came very neat bleeding to death before surgical attention could be had. He is now under treatment of Dr. J. E. Massey, and is out of dagger. The Misses Erwin, of SteeU Creek, are going to move here shortly, a* is also Mr. Sledge, of the same place. Bsides these, your correspondent hears oj a number of families that are making arrangements to come to Fort Mill.

LETTER FROM ROCK 111LL. Rock Hill, January 7.?On Thursday last a public meeting of the citizens of Rock Hill school district was held in lioddey's Hall. Rev. James S. White was called to the chair and Captain Iredell Jones requested to act as secretary. The chairman explained the object of the meeting, which was to decide whether or not a special tax should be levied on the property in the district for school purposes. He supplemented the explanation with some remarks relative to the conditions and purposes of the school. A motion was then offered and unanimously adopted to levy a tax of two mills on the property in the school district. Quite a pleasant leap year party was given by the young ladies of this place at the residence of Mr. E. B. Mobley on Monday night last. The younfc ladies did things up in style and intimated to the young men in a mild way how they would like to be escorted to balls and parties, viz.: in carriages. Capt. L. M. Davis, one of the oldest merchants of our town, has sold his stock of groceries and confectioneries to Mr. Frank O. London, of this plate, and Mr. J. C. Lindsay, of Lancaster. Capt. Davis has not as yet decided on any plans for the future. Mr. D. E. Boney, of Blackstock, has removed with his family to this place, and has accepted a position in the drug store of Dr. J. W. Fewell. ^fhe town election will tak? place on Thursday next. As yet very little interest is manifested in it. Rev. J. C.

H/fl Corrwpoadence of the Yorkville EnqniroiC^^y letter from union county. Etta Jane, January 5.?Our neighbors who failed to get their wheat sown before Christmas, are having bad weather to finish in. The few days lost for holiday sports will tell, perhaps, next summer, a tale not pleasant to hear. The blackbirds along the river and creeks are making havoc of the wheat sown there. Tens of /tf fhOCA nnofo qHoolr a wKnaf vuvuoauuo VTA ?**VWV pvovo CtbVaVA iM II 11VI?V field and destroy the wheat just coining up. We don't recollect ever having seen so much moving about as has been done this week. On all the roads, wagons, men, women and children, white and black, may be seen getting to their new homes. Some will say they have lost their crops on the river and creeks for two or three years in succession, and they are going to try upland awhile. Others think this is the year for the low lands to be successful and they are willing to try it again. Reports reach us that feeding on drowned corn has produced "blind staggers" among the stock down in the Mt. Tabor section. But few horses and mules in this section have eaten anything else, in the #ay^TgraTrf,~8ince earlylast fattT'TC'Jioser who were fortunate enough to save corn off the water courses might do well to mix sound corn with it to feed to their horses and mules. We have no confidence in the ultimate good resulting from feeding work animals upon damaged corn. The experience of farmers along the river and creeks in feeding the crops of 1850 and 1852 is decidedly against it. Hundreds of 1 horses and mules died then, it is alleged, from eating this kind of corn. Chemists and physiologists might do the country a a great deal of good by discussing this matter and giving the people the advantage of their observation and experience. In last week's issue of The Enquirer, "Parent" suggests the most practical way of breaking up the whisky troubles we have seen in print, viz.: to make drunkenness a crime. Legislation can never reach the subject in any other way. The present laws upon our statute books, (both State and National), will remain as they are? "dead letters," and nugatory farces. Parents, ministers and teachers might save ' * - i.; L!U tne young ana rising generation, wiiins that law would take charge of old offenders. Sigma. Correspondence of the Yorkvllle Enquirer. LETTER FROM UNION. Union, S. C., January 5.?We have had some very bad ather the past three or four days, and our streets are in a very muddy condition. At present, the indications are that we will have a clear and beautiful Sunday. 1 Mr. Jeter Counts has accepted a position in the dry goods store of Messrs. Rice & McLure, of this place. The Sons of Temperance of this place are now in a thriving condition, and have about one hundred and fifty members. A bountiful supper was given by them last Monday night. Messrs. Counts, Tinsley, McNeace and Murphy, have opened a skating rink which affords much amusement for both young and old. A fancy costume tournament will take place next Friday night. We are to have three bar-rooms this year. To all of the readers of Tiie Enquirer we wish a very happy and prosperous gg^PAr.. r 11 ^ "? ' POLITICAL M GOSSIP. ? Says the Philadelphia Times: "There's something wrong with the electoral system which defeats a Presidential candidate in a year when he had a larger majority than when he was elected." ? At the end of President Cleveland's term, the Democrats will have held the Presidency just fifty-two years, beginuing with Jefferson ; and at the end of Harrison's term in 1892, the various parties opposed to the Democrats will have had the Presidency fifty-two years. ? The negroes in Indiana, who' number 25,000, are clamoring for more recognition from the Republican party. They hold the balance of power in the State, and are demanding that the negro race shall be represented in the Cabinet in, the person of Blanch K. Bruce. The negro race may vote and vote the Republican ticket, but he will have to be satisfied with far less than a Cabinet position. ? The New York Herald says: "The constitutional amendment brought forward by Mr. Springer, of Illinois, embodies important changes worthy of earnest consideration. It is proposed: First, to extend the Presidential term to six years and make the President ineligible for reelection. Second, to abolish the Electoral College and elect a President by a direct vote of the people. If this were done the majority would always rule. Mr. Harrison was chosen President by a minority of the people. Third, to make the term of Representatives in Congress three instead of two years. This proposition is likely to meet with a good deal of opposition. The advantage claimed for a two years' term is that the will of the people can thereby be better enforced through their Representatives. Fourth, the sessions of Congress to begin in Jauuary instead of December." ? Dr. James A. Meek was elected to the lower house of the State Legislature from Craighead county, Arkansas, last September, for the third time. He is a prominent Democratic lawyer, 48 years old, and lives at Jonesborough. He has been a pretty prominent figure in State politics for the last ten years, and is a man of intelligence and influence. Just now he has caused a decided sensation by announcing the policy he will pursue during the session of the Legislature. He says: "I am in favor of the repeal of the 14th and loth amendments to the Constitution of the United States of America. It must come to that. The Government made a great blunder when it adopted those amendments, and it must relraoe" Hn onr choice, disfranchisement of the colored race or a bloody revolution. It is no longer a sectional issue, but good men of all sections and all parties recognize the great truth that the Caucasian race must govern America. I advanced this idea in my last canvass, and since that time many persons of prominence in various portions of the country have expressed views in harmony with my idea. I propose to introduce a memorial in the next Legislature asking Congress to submit an amendment to the various States repealing the 14th and loth amendments to the Constitution of the United States. In my opinion this is the only satisfactory solution of tL!r, .. x/sLI M una yuuwwu piuuiem." A IIappy Social Event.?It is my pleasant duty to chronicle the marriage 011 Thursday, the 3rd instant, of Mr. S. M. Jones, intendant of Chester, and Miss Dora Brown, daughter of Mr. F. II. Brown, of Ebenezor, York county, S. C. It was a delightful occasion, and was highly enjoyed by a company of spectators. There were no bridesmaids, and only a limited number of the friends of the contracting parties were present. The ceremony was solemnly and impressively performed by Rev. J. H. Thornwell, of Fort Mill Presbyterian Church, at 12.30 o'clock, in the parlor of the beautiful home at the placeabove stated, about 7 miles distant from Rock Ilill. After the beautiful and sublime exercises, gracefully and solemnly performed, the friends gathered around and heartily congratulated the handsome couple. The entire party were then ushered into the dining room and partook of a rich repast, prepared and lavishly spread for the happy event. Soon thereafter the bridal party left for Rock Hill, where the happy pair boarded a special chartered sleeper for an extended northern pleasure tour. Mr. Jones is senior member of the mercantile firm of S. M. Jones & Co., of this place, and is also intendant pf the town, having held that position for more than a year. He is recognized as one of the most efficient andpublic spirited executives the town has ever had. The bride is the beautiful and lovely daughter of one of the largest planters and land owners in the up-country, and stands high in the list of the best and most reputable citizens of our sister county. This is quite a distinguished matrimonial alliance, and between the sections the congratulations should be mutual. The couple enjoy the very best wishes of scores of friends here and elsewhere for their success and connubial happiness through the years to come.?[Chester correspondence Columbia Register.

The Board have the appointment and supervision of all the missionaries and colporteurs employed by the State Convention, and are charged with the fixing of their salaries and the location of their fields. The work is reported steadily on the increase, there being now 80 missionaries and colporteurs employed in it. The last Convention recommended that $15,000 be spent in the work the present year, which will permit still greater enlargement, $12,000 having been spent last year and only $10,000 the year before. ?[Greenville News.

January 9 2 It A Grateful Correspondent. When a recipient of a bottle writes as enthusiastically of the virtues of Calisaya Tonic as did a daughter in a letter to her father recently, it can only mean that the Tonic is the best on the market. The letter came from Wilmington, N. 0. The writer, after referring to the extraordinary and wearing nature of her household duties recently, says: "I am confident that I never should have held out had it not been for the bracing effects of the admirable Tonic." Again the writer saj's: "I arn proud of Greenville's sons. Long live Dr. Westmoreland, and may his name be wide famed for the preparation of so excellent and palatable a medicine." * * * Several other highly complimentary references are made in the letter to the splendid effects of the Tonic. Westmoreland Bros, only ask any one who is suffering from debility, loss of appetite or malaria, to try their medicine. It is sure to revive and strengthen. "And all it costs is a dollar a bottle.

Scientific medical men say that there is no such thing as biliousness.

READ WHAT WE HAVE TO SAV And put it Down in Your Little Book That We Mean Business. DURING THE YEAR 1889 We Propose to do Our Share of the Drug Business DONE IN YORK COUNTY ! lk?JL. 1 * NT) the lion's share of that done inYork'JjL ville. ?> We have a heavy stock of fresh Drugs and inedicines on hand, from which we can come so Jiear filling every prescription that is brought n to us, that in case we should not happen to have tue necessary drugs 011 hand, you will, in all probability, simply have to wait until we can order them, for the chances are that no pne else can help you out. We have among our customers the most prominent and learnea physicians in York county. They know what they want and they know when they get it. We frequently fill prescriptions that have been the roundB in vain, and it seldom occurs that we are stumped. Come in and try us. We sell only the best drugs and the most careful attention is always given to the accurate compounding of prescriptions. WHITE LEAD. If you intend to paint this year be very careful that you give the matter a thorough investigation before going too far. We are selling ECKSTEIN'S pure WHITE LEAD. This is the most beautiful and at the same time the most valuable paint known. All prepared paints have white lead for a foundation, as it has the preserving and covering property. The manufacturers of these prepared paints persistently claim that their goods are "as good as white lead." The truth of the matter is that a prepared, or "doctored" paint is only really valuable in proportion to the amount of WHITE LEAD IT CONTAINS. Now Eckstein's goods are known to be pure. They are used by the United States Government for all purposes for which it uses paint, having stood the test over a dozen competitors applied to buoys in salt water. Eckstein's White Lead is also used by the Pullman Car Compkny to the exclusion of all others. It stands at the heart wherever it is known. It costs no more to paint your house with pure white lead than it does to paint it with certain preparations which are really little better than ^Thitewash. Suppose you inquire into this 1tk(fl?-< -i- ... < MAY ?fc MAY. ' WITHERS ADICKES. ~ AN IMPORTANT ARRIVAL, But INTot For Sale. A HIGHHANDED INVASION took place at our house on New Year's morn. A little stranger arrived at about 8 o'clock, and makes the most extensive and authoritatiye demands. On his account the writer has camped in his pants all of 1889 so far, and this self-same little gentleman demands a large interest in our time, home and business. After consulting our best friends and legal talent, we tind that there is no escape from this fellow's claims.

With the advent of the NEW YEAR we are buckling on our mercantile armor for the commercial war of the ensuing year under perculiar and most advantageous circumstances. It is with pride and satisfaction that we remark our marvelous success. Our influence has been felt from Catawba Junction and Smith's Turnout to Buffalo, and from tho still waters of the Catawba to the maddening roar of the historic Broad ; and from the mountains to tho interior of Chester county. Since the very inception of the New York Racket Store it has been a howling success. Week by week our business has grown up to enormous proportions, until to-day it will compare most favorably with that of some of our elder brethren of tbo yartl Stick vv+ro Imvo beew- devoting" their energies and lives to the old starvation CREDIT SYSTEM. We are in the lead now with a systematized ~ * * -* --J J _ i. 1 4.? uasu ousiness aim wo uimuu lu ?tay i/umo. Just what our progamtno will bo for tho present year we have not fully determined, but our every effort will be in behalf of our patrons, and with each week we will have new and seasonable goods for your inspection. Of course our Cash system will be one of our first and foremost principles in doing business in the future, just as it has been in the past, and good goods at the very lowest prices will be another. I A CASH BUSINESS is the only business which works thoroughly to the advancement of mutual benefits. It causes the purchaser to live within his means and buy with caution and discretion, while at the same time, with ready cash, it always renders it possible for the cash merchant to find any amount of bargains that otherwise he would bo entirely unable to obtain. It is universally believed t^at "goods well bought are half sold." This assertion, however, is misleading, for the reason that you seldom meet a merchant who is willing to compete with his own price, no difference what advantages he may have over his brother behind the counter. Just on this point, the customer stumbles on our "trump card," as it is our policy, invariably, to sell goods as low as possible without regard to what they are worth or the prices of others. Think these things over, for now is the time to act. When an article cost us two-and-a-half cents we (lo not charge you five cents for it just bocause you have been accustomed to pay that amount, or because wo think that you don't regard five cents as you should, but wo mark three cents and lot it slide. In plain figures do we mark our goods, and to every one these prices are given. It make no difference to us what woaltli you possess ; it makes no differ ence wheroyou buy goods ; it makes no differ-^ i ence how humble you may be; it makes no ditferenco wkothor you want fivo cents worth of goods or loss, you aro treated with the respectful consideration that you deserve. Our business of the past year, with all its magnitude and magnificent advantages over many of our competitors, is only an index to what you may expect during the year 1KS9! We shall conduct the most aggressive Dry Ooods business in tho Stato of South Carolina ! Every time that we sharpen our lead pencil it will be in your interest ; every thought that passos through our cranium will bo f6r your benefit; every bargain that it is possible to secure, you shall have every advantage of it. Wo aro in tho lead and we aro going to stay thore if manly efforts, enterprise, enorgy and integrity go for anything! We have not used the expression lately, but all we have to say is to whoop 'ein up and "Lot the madam go, Mr. Gallagher!" Look out for the big "watch-shaped" sign? i two doors north of where we were formerly | located. Our sign stands just in front of our ' store and bears the following inscription : "NEW YORK RACKET STORE." i Our lady friends are moat cordially invited j to call and inspect our stock. : A. Y.

N TICE TO TAX PAYERS, Office of Auditor of York County, ) Yorkville, S. C., January 2, 1889. j ^ THE subjoined Circular from the Comptroller General is published for the information of tax payers. W.B. WILLIAMS, County Auditor. EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, Office of Comptroller-General, Columbia, S. Cm December^, 1888. [Circular No. IS?Second Scries.] The attention of this office has been called to the fact that in some counties of the State the Auditors have been in the habit of distributing loosely the returns for personal property, ana allowing individuals to fill out the same, sending the said returns to County Auditors without the oath which attaches to the same being administered. This practice must be stoppecT and each and every taxpayer will be required _ to appear before the respective County Auditors, either by themselves, their agents or assigns, guardians, trustees, administrators, Ac., and answer the various questions as appear upon the return. And the County Auditors will put these questions categorically to each and every person making a return of personal property. When the said return is made the Auditor will administer the oath and swear the party making the return in each and every instance. It should be the effort of each County Auditor to obtain as full returns possible, for the higher the assessment thcibwer will be the tax levy. The County Auditors will therefore be very careful in tanMp&e returns daring this assessment, to wit, from January 1st, 1889, to -Eabiuary 20th,J8?r- ---o/? Each Auditor is requefftcd to tice a comparative report at least twfw'dfiring theperiod for ticking returns, ifTorder that this office may'6e~3dvi8ed-as' to how the returns of 1888-89 compare with those of 1887-88.
