Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. LETTER FROM CHESTER. Chester, January 22.?Mr. John E. Cornwell met with an unfortunate loss one night last week, in the destruction, by the incendiary's torch, of his barn and stables, together with several horses. Mr. Cornwell had retired unusually early on the night of the fire?Monday night?having been losing sleep with a sick child, and the fire was well under way before any one was aroused, although the burning was done in the early part of the i night. When Mr. Cornwell did reach k the scene of the fire, both ends of the B building were falling in, while the hay A and roughness in the loft above, were burning like tinder. Energetic efforts were used to save the live stock within from the flames, but a brood mare, a young stal^Blion, and a fine coH were burned to death. All three of the animals destroyed had taken premiums, the stallion having taken four at the State fair and at the Chester fair together. An .oner or two nunarea dollars had been refused for the colt only a few days before the Are. There was no insurance on the building, and the loss amounted to nearly one thousand dollars. Suspicion points towards the person who is believed to be guilty of the crime, but there is no proof as yet sufficient to justify a prosecution. , . James Bead, a well known painter, died at his home, near Bichburg, on last Saturday morning, of heart disease. The deceased was about fifty-five years of age, and left a wife and five or six children. He was a Scotchman by birth, but had been living in this county for a long time, having married a Miss Magill, of East Chester. He was a member of the Sixth Regiment, and made, it is said, a brave and, daring fighter. Bead embarked into politics during the days of Badical rule, * and held for a time the office of county ? commissioner. He got into trouble while in office, and secured the enmity of Judge T. J. Mackey, who, acting perhaps from a knowledge of the fact that convicts, like dead men, tell no tales, had Read prosecuted and sent to prison. A petition was circulated not long afterward for his re. lease, and was signed, if lam not mistaken, by the solicitor and a number of good men in town. Mackey's name, however, did not appear. The;;Governor pardoned Read, aud since that time he has followed his trade. The liquor business is booming here now, and the town treasury is already getting bloated. Four licenses were granted last week at $800 apiece, and it is said that there are two more applications in, both likely to receive a favorable hearing. These six licenses will bring in nearly enough to run the town government for > two years, although it is probable that the \ surplus will be expended, in part at least, in improving the streets. The effect of the open bars can be seen plainly already. An old fashioned fist fight made things lively in one of the back lots on Saturday, reminding more than one citizen of the good old times that used to be. A negro, band went round serenading the bars last night, in order to pay their respects to the dawn of the millennium of high license. TV.e>;f oflTorta wore* nnt annreniated bv the city fathers, it seems, for the serenaders were hauled up to-day for making disturbance and disorder in the streets, although the charge was not sustained. The drug store men are breaking ranks. One or two others havo taken out, or will take out, regular.bar room licenses and sail no longer under a mortar and pestle flag. One or two others have folded their tents and departed without the city gates, and are going to bombard this ungrateful municipality at loug range from Lowrysville, or other points convenient. They are round about the city, like the priests at Jericho, but their horns are not rams' horns. , One or two other druggists who keep liquor, are going to defy the new law, on the ground that it is unconstitutional. The barkeepers will probably look into this matter, and if they do you may look to see the fur fly. Major James Pagan spent several days in town last week. Senator W. B. Wilson, of Rock Hill, was also in town. The Rev. Samuel Leard and wife are away on a visit to Manning. Mr. T. C. Williams, engaged in the work of writing up Southern sections in the interest of immigration, spent several days in town recently. Rev. Tillman R. Gaines was also here """"Saturday. v > Misses Roddey, of Rock Hill, and Miss Black, of the same place, have recently been visiting Mrs. W. T. Robison. Misses Annie and Lula Carlisle, of Spartanburg are visiting Miss Lottie Ferguson. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enqnirer. LETTER FROM UNION. Union, S. C., January 19.?A terrible wreck occurred on the S., U. & C. Railroad last Monday night, caused by a landslide. . It happened about 22 miles below here. The engine was going around a curve and the engineer could not see the dirt and rocks until he was in a few feet of it. The engine, tender and six cars, heavily loaded with coal, were thrown from the track and torn to splinters. The engineer was buried underneath the coal and a car, and it was nearly two hours before he was rescued. He and the fireman were very badly injured. The material train went out early the next, morning to clear away the debris, and the operator not being accustomed to the road, stepped from the cab and supposed he was stepping on solid ground, but the train was standing on a trestle and he fell about 30 feet, receiving some bad bruises. He was brought to this place for treatment and is doing very well. Quite a number of preachers at this place have had very pleasant surprises in the way of poundings. The Baptists and Methodists both pounded their pastors recently, and it was a very happy occasion for both. We also notice that two of the colored pastors have been treated the same way. Miss Daisy Gist, a charming young lady of Yorkville, is visiting the family of Mrs. M. L. Gage. Miss Carrie Whitesides is visiting her sister at Dorrah, S. C. Mrs. Sims, of Grindall, is visiting relatives at this place. Col. Jas. L. Strain, of Etta Jane, was in town last Saturday. He has been appointed a trial justice in his neighborhood, and if he accepts the position, will stop a great deal of the lawlessness that is now going on in that settlement. w. G. c. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. LETTER FROM UNION COUNTY. Etta Jane, January 19.?Nothing has \ occurred during the past week of sufficient importance to deserve a general writing up. The weather is unusually warm for this time of year, and a few wiseacres pre- r diet a poor crop, because we are having no snow or freezes. Gentlemen, don't be afraid; it isn't too late yet. Wheat and oats are coming up well. The Farmers' Alliance is in full blast in this section. If they don't do something it will not be because they haven't showed zeal in the work. Some of our merchants say that they will undersell the Alliance, and it's no use for them to try and get around that fact. We'll see, perhaps. Mention has been made in this correspondence from time to time about the hard times, &c.; but it is pleasant to note the fact that all our people begin-the new year with high hopes of success. The merchants are extremely lenient and there is but little pushing and pulling over old debts. Our farmers, in most cases, have done what they can for their creditors, and j it seems that they can get indulgence where the same is merited. The county commissioners of this county have, at last, agreed to put a bridge across [ Thickety creek, at Thomson's mill, at! which place our readers will remember that | one was washed off last September, and we j have from time to time been speaking of it as a place where one was badly needed.! From what we learn the new bridge will i be a costly one, and one that will be out j of reach of any common freshet. Should the fine spell of weather continue for a few days, a general finishing up of wheat sowing will take place, and oat sowing will commence in earnest. We will have no new moon next month, (February) and soap makers and others, who go by the moon, will have to skip over into March, or do their work in Janu-1 / I ary. I don't know what Mac. Dorman will do; he always gets his wagon timber out on the new moon in February.. We regret to state that M. A. W. Lotspeich has been notified by telegraph that one of his children is dangerously ill at his home in Greene county, Tennessee. Sigma. Correspondence of Ue Yorkrille Enqnirer. LETTER FROM LOWRYSVILLE. LowrysvillB, January 21.?Zion church has secured the pastoral services of Rev. S. R. Riley, who entered upon the discharge of his duties on the first Sunday of the present month. He is a young minister of fine mind, and it is confidently expected he will accomplish much good for the church. He arrived here on the 5th, accompanied by Mrs. Riley and a sister, and they are comfortably installed in the parsonage. We have a fine school in session under the management of Mr. H. R. Murchison as principal, and Miss Maggie Guy as assistant. Mr. Murchison is from Greenwood, in this State, and comes highly recommended as a teacher and as a man. Miss Guy is a native'of this plaice and is a recent graduate of the Female College at Staunton, Ya. We have five stores, one wood shop, one blacksmith shop, one saw and grist mill, and ft cotton erin. Messrs. Guy & Sandifer have bought about 2,400 bales of cotton this season. They have secured the trade of two sujfcr: Alliances of this county, which is expected to aggregate $25,000. So you see Lowrysville is prepared,to accommodate all ffee business mar mayeow tolled I am informed that the town council of Chester have granted licenses to sell whisky and that some of the drug store meg are preparing to emigrate. One wa*4* our town the other day with a view to locate here. I don't think Lowrysville will boast a drug store. A first class establishment to sell medicines would no! be objectionable; but the one bottle of quinine, two boxes of pills and three barrels of whisky kind, is not wanted here. The" drug stores increased about 300 per cent, in Chester during the reign of prohibition and the combined efforts of the prohibitionists and the church could not stop the illegal sale of whisky; but as soon as a bar room is opened, the 4,drug-men" are notified to stop selling whisky and they obey. u NO WHO. . T i, Correspondence of the Yorkvllle Enquirer NOTES FROM WESTERN YORK. Hoodtown, January 21.?Our farmers are beginning to plow, although there has been but little weather fit for it yet. Wheat fields are beginning to look green. Most of the oat crop will be sowed in the spring, as fall sowing has proven a failure for several years. j Farmers are very much stirred up over the advance in the price of guano. There is no cause for the advance in the price, except speculation, and many say Ihey will not use a single Back if theycannot get it for the same price they paid last year. I hope that they will verify their words and many more follow tholi^^^iaRev. J. H. Morgan, of Fair Forq$j?fJ.(G,v held a week's meeting at Shac&$Ucve church, commencing on Sunday,P(be,4th. By his earnestness and zeal hfniceomplished a great deal of good, although there were no accessions to the chur<|h. His daughter was with him. She is a floe singer and organist, and furnished-fine music. They left.Iast Monday for King's Mountain Chapel to hold a meeting there. On last Saturday night, about 12 o'clock, a difficulty arose between Jordan Blair, who lives on Mr. J. H. Hood's place, and two of Mose Edwards' boys, which resulted in the shooting of one of the Edwards ^^er^^^tthe^wai^^oy^^ife'd coine to Blair s house expecting a frolic, which Blair refused to allow. He ordered them to leave, but they refused to do so, when a difficulty arose, which resulted in the shooting. All the parties to the difficulty are colored. Rambler.

Fort Mill, January 21.?On Tuesday last an election was held at this place for the purpose of choosing a council to serve the town for the ensuing year. J. A. Withers was elected intendant, and Kirk Shannon, J. H. Stewart, B. D. Springs and L. J. Massey wardens. Mr. Massey has been chosen secretary and treasurer, and Mr. J. W. McElhaney will be town marshal. Last Friday afternoon two deputy marshals, James T. and Robert Thomasson, came over for the purpose of arresting Eli Roddey, colored, charged with violation of the internal^revenue laws. Eli was quickly found and arrested, but being at-the time in his shirt sleeves, he requested to be allowed to go by his house to get his coat. Mr. Robert Thomasson accompanied him to the door, and when Eli re-appeared it was with his coat on his back and a gun in his hand. Presenting the gun at the officer he warned him to stand back, and started to march away. Upon attempting to follow, the negro fired upon Mr. Thomasson, who saved himself by dodging behind the corner of the house. Eli then made his escape across a cotton field into the woods. Thomasson fired several shots after him without effect. Messrs. Fulp & Watson have dissolved copartnership. Watson will continue in the drug business and Fulp will sell groceries. The firm of Harris & Potts commenced business on Factory Hill last week. They will sell general merchandise. c. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. LETTER FROM ROCK HILL. Rock Hill, January 21.?Our town is to have another election on Saturday to fill the vacancy in the town council, caused by Mr. Frel Mobley declining to serve as warden. ? ? * i The electric light machinery and fixtures for the plant of the standard cotton mill has been received and will be placed in position this week. 7 Mr. John J. Bigger died quite suddenly at his residence, half mile east of this place, on Saturday last, of some affection of the heart. Mr. Bigger had a few moments before his death gotten up from the dinner table, and walking to the bed sat down. Hardly had he taken his seat before he fell over on the bed, dead. Mr. Bigger was about 68 years old, and has been in bad health for several months. On Friday Mr. Sam L. Smith, who lives on the Catawba river, 5 miles from here, was in town on business. When he startled home, riding a mule, he passed near another mule which kicked him on the leg, shattering the bone just at the knee. He was attended by Dr. W. M. Hunter. Mr. Smith is 68 years old. Mr. J. C. Lindsay and family, of Lancaster, have removed to this place, Mr. Lindsay having engaged in business here. ? HAL* Correspondence of tbe YorWville Enquirer. NOTES FROM GROVER. Grover, N. C., January 21.?As no notes have appeared from this place in The Enquirer for sometime, I will give the few I find lying around handy. Yesterday was entirely devoted to rain and indoors meditation and amusements. The majority of our farmers would willingly exchange some of the late plentiful rains for snow, as it is claimed that snow is a great protector as well as a fertilizer of the small grain crops. However, these crops are looking very well at present. , Notwithstanding the short small grain crop of this section for the last two years, the farmers have sown an average crop, j As yet but little farm work has been doie. they contemplate planting a lan&JB^lpropt and from present indicatlooslthe cotton crop will be decreased as well'ftg th# quantity of fertilizers used. rs of the Farmers' Alliance say Mi. they do not get fertilizers on more favorable terms than heretofore, they will use nl>ne at all. Affieetingof the Farmers' Alliance was hdpTat Blacksburg on last Friday, and the Q'festion of fertilizers was fully discussed. Tiey hope to be able to make better terms thpaever before. A Farmer. !

We have the following reasons for thinking that we can substantiate those statements : 1st. Our lohg experience and good facilities enable us to know what to buy, and how and where to buy the same. 2nd.

It causes th& purchaser o live within hfS means and buy with caution md discretion, while at the same time, with eady cash, it always renders it possible forjiie iash merchant to find any amount of bargains hat otherwise he would be entirely unable to >btain. It is universally believed that "goods well jought are half sold." This assertion, how iver, is misleading, for ttie reason mac you leldom meet a merchant who is willing to :ompete with his own price, no diiference vhat advantages he may have over his brother )ehind the counter. Just on this point, the lustomer stumbles on our "trump card," as it s our policy, invariably, to seil /mods as low as )ossible without regard to what they are worth >r the prices of others. Think these tnings iver, for now is the time to act. When an article cost us two-and-a-half cents vedo not charge you five cents for it just be:ause you have been accustomed to pay that imount, or because we think that you don't egard five cants as*you should, but we mark it hreo cents and let it slide. In plain figures_do ve mark our goods, and to every one theso )rices are given. It make no difference to us vhat wealth you possess; it makes no differ ince where you buy goods ; it makes nodiiferinco how humble you inay be; it makes no lifference whether you want five cents worth >f goods or less, you are treated with the reipeetful consideration that you deserve. Our business of the past year, with all its liagnitude and magnificent advantages over nany of our competitors, is only an index to vhat you may expect during the year 1S89!

YOU are thinking of painting your house. It will pay you to do so, as you well know ; but you are prudently counting the cost and ondeavoring to satisfy yourself as to the most durable and economical material with which i to do it. This is also a good idea, and it will be to your interest to go very slow in the matter. You have seen certain highly recommended prepared paints fall very far short of what was claimed for them. You have seen them ap- . plied to a building with a guarantee that if they aid not last a certain period, the house would he repainted at the manufacturer's expense. ; You have seen numbers of cases wero they i did not last and the manufacturer kept his 1 word. The buildings were repainted and the paint actually SCALED OFF AGAIN BE- ' FORE THE EXPIRATION OF THE GUARANTEE. The second time a much better quality of paint may have been used. In fact < the prepared paint man may have used pure WHITE LEAD ; but as the same was daubed ( over the inferior first application, it had no chance to adhere to the buildifig and of course i dropped off in scales with the prepared stuff. ' When this occurs it is claimed that the prepared paint lasted longer tbau the White Lead. The truth of the matter is that the lead had no 1 showing at all. Being applied to the loose 1 scales of the other stufl it could not bo expect- * ed to stick.. 1 To cover a surface with White Lead is equivalent to incasing it in a sheet of ordinary lead of the same thickness. White Lead, as every school boy knows, is simply metalic lead put through a chemical process, and in or- 1 der to change it back to the original all that is necessary is to subject it to molten heat. When the oil is burned out" the remainder can be moulded into buckshot. When you [mint your house with this material you have t coated with the most durable paint that has ever been discovered. ECKSTEIN'S PHCENIX BRAND WHITE LEAD is of such fine quality that the manufacturers offer to pay an i OUNCE OF COLD for every ounce of adulteration found in each one hundred pound keg. These goods are used by the United States Government, by the Pullman Car Company, and by every reliable concern that can only afford to use first-class 1 material. While we do not pretend to say that we can sell these goods as low as prepared paints CAN be sold, we do say that we are selling White Lead as low as the best prepared paints ARE sold. We will leave it to common sense to teach most men the difference in quality. Others will have to learn by paying for their experience. PRESCRIPTIONS. We have a heavy stock of fresh Drugs and Medicines on hand, from which we can come so near filling eyery prescription that is brought in to us, that in case we snould not happen to have the necessary drugs on hand, you will, in all probability, simply have to wait until we can order them, for the chances are that no one else can help you out. We have among our customers the most prominent and learned physicians in York county. They know what they want and they know when they get it. We frequently fill prescriptions that have been the rounds 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. (I I We've Got Something to Show Yon! | In our store can bo found many novelties of different kinds. Among them is a splendid article in the shape of a blacking brusn called the SUNSHINE POLISHER. It is the most convenient and durable blacking brush ever invented. Let us show it to you and you will bfly one. MAY & MAY. 1AM a^ent for the above Company and have now a large^upply of their goods on hand. These goods, for nineteen years past, have stood every test to which they have been subjected, and, having taken, from the first, the : highest stand among all the various brands of fertilizers sold in the South, are still in the proud position of being second to no other similar goods offered to the farmers of the 1 country. The reports from the crops of 1888 show that their reputation is fully maintained, in every section of the States of North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. It is useless, however, for me to say more, for this Guano has been before the people of York county since the first year of ite manufacture, with an increasing demand. I will give close prices to responsible parties. F. HAPPERFIELD. G. H. O'LEARY, Dealer in Furnitnre, Stoves and Carpets.
