* Currespoadenoe of the Yorkvllle Enquirer. LETTER FROM CHESTER. Chester January 29.?Frank Johnson, colored, was drowned at Cedar Shoals one day last week. Johnson was working at the time on the iron bridge over Fishing creek, the bridge having never been repaired since the high freshets of last September. It seems that a bateau, containing three persons, Mr. T. N. Bennett, a h white boy, and Johnson, had gone out inL to the stream, the object of the trip being B to disentangle a rope which had been used in drawing timbers from the bank. After the occupants of the boat had done what A they intended to do, and were ready to return, the boat was borne by the current against a snag in the stream, striking the ^I^Bpbstacle about midway of its length, and B^^feapsizing at once. The boy caught hold the snag which had caused the trouble, f and held to it until a rope was lowered to him from the bridge above, and he was drawn up by it out of his perilous situation. Mr. Bennett first tried to save himself by climbing up on the bottom of the overturned bateau, but soon found that there was uttle chance of safety in that 4 direction. He then struck out swimming, i / and by following an angling course down stream, succeeded in reaching the bank without difficulty. Johnson, however, was not so fortunate. Although he was a good swimmer, yet he seemed to get excited, and lost control of himself from the beginning. As soon as Mr. Bennett reached the land, he looked back and saw that Johnson was fighting a losing battle, and was being borne rapidly down the stream. Mr. Bennett's first thought was to go back to save Johnson, and with this intent he waded back into the stream. Before reaching swimming depth, however, he desisted from what second thought told him would be a reckless undertaking, attended with small hope of success bpt large .? increase of: danger. A long search was made for the drowned man*s body, but up - to Saturday no trace of it had been found. The work onftthe bridge is nearing completion, and would have been finished last week, but for the delays resulting from the drowning of Johnson, and from the heavy rains later in the week. Chief of Police J. K. Marshall received a telegram from Catawba Junction on Saturday afternoon, asking him to arrest Kelly Reed and Joe Miller, both colored, who were coming towards Chester on the G., C. & N. train, and who were suspected of being implicated in the assaulting of Mr. W. C. Abernathy at that place on Friday night. From the descriptions given in the telegram, Chief Marshall soon succeeded in finding his men, who were arrested just as they were preparing to board the Narrow Gauge train, having already bought tickets for Yorkville. The prisoners were turned over to Sheriff" Hood. Another telegram came on Sunday night, instructing the sheriff to set Miller and Reed at liberty, as they were not the right men. When the sheriff received this sec ond dispatch, the prisoners weie asleep and the night was stormy and cold, so he concluded that, until morning came, bondage in a comfortable jail was more desirable than freedom in the streets, where "a yawping wind ahowl that night." For this reason nothing was said to the prisoners about the telegram until next morning, when Sheriff Hood explained the situation to Reed and Miller, who expressed their appreciation of the sheriff's kindness, and then went on their way shivering. Peter Coleman and Cato Sims were lodged in jail last week, suspected of having been guilty of burning Mr. John E. Cornwell's stables and barn. Their preliminary trial will be held to-day before trial justice W. M. Leckie. A cruel ioke was played on one of our Chester editors last week. News had been distressingly scarce, and for the weary news-gleaners nothing but the shortest of short stubble seemed to remain. Just at this interesting stage of the famine, a fine milch cow belonging to a popular young dry goods merchant, was found dead in her stall one morning. Exactly why the cow had kicked the bucket, no one could tell, but attending circumstances, one of them being a sick yard dog that same morning , with symptoms suggestive of "Rough on Rats."?seemed to indicate that the cow had happened on a stray dose of poison. Anyhow, some unregenerate person met the editor in question and poured into his anxious ears, an interesting story of how y the merchant had been losing his wood by night; how that he had determined to ' look-sharp and to shoot^eomebddyTiRTVftbat on the night in question the merchant heard the thief in the wood pile and seized his pistol and went out in the night air and opened fire on the enemy, kill. ing the innocent cow with a stray shot. The editor sought confirmation of this peculiar cow tale, but unfortunately fell among some Philistines who were into the joke, and who stoutly affirmed that the said cow had been killed in the manner aforesaid, and that the whole story was a historical fact. An interesting local next appeared, and a few irreverent people laughed. They say dead mules are the only safe ones, but a cow is not safe even then. The new passenger depot and ticket office for the use of the Charlotte,Columbia and Augusta Railroad, together with the two Narrow Gauge lines, is nearly finished and is already bright with an attractive coat of paint. It stands above the present depot, near the water tank, and will be much more convenient than the old depot, as it opens on both the narrow and the broad gauge lines. The old depot will be torn down and removed. Several families have recently moved to the west from this county, Messrs. Joseph Carter, Bentley Stone and William McCallum having gone to Texas, and Mr. George Harlan to Mississippi. Mr. James Wilson, an old citizen of Chester county, aged about eighty-five years, died a short time ago. Mrs. Rosa Raskin, aged seventy-seven years, died a few days ago, near Fishing creek. Mr. Miles Howell died on the 18th, of pneumonia, near Broad river. Mr. W. P. Castles has recently been appointed postmaster at Torbit. He succeeds Mr. W. Banks Robinson, who resigned recently. Mr. John G. R. Neely has recently added his name to the list of Chester merchants. Mr. T. T. Byars performed a marriage ceremony on the20tn instant, the contracting parties being Mr. W. M. Quinton and Miss Laura Roberts, both of this county. Mr. A. S. Douglas of the Winnsboro bar was in town yesterday. Rev. and Mrs. Joseph Millard, of Fort Motte, are visiting Mrs. Millard's relatives here. Mr. W. Macauley, while suffering from delirium tremens, made a perilous leap from the third story of Nail's Hotel on last Saturday night.

Presbyterian denomination is making considerable headway toward building theirchurch at Hickory Grove. Before the summer closes they will, no doubt, have one among the finest houses of worship in Western York. It will be the first house for public worship built within the corporate limits of the , town of Hickory Grove, and all other denominations will be pleased to see it an ornament to the place. That churches ana schoolhouses are the best index to the moral and general worth of the community in which they stand, no people know better than those of Hickory Grove. C. W. Whisonant, Esa., of Wilkinsville, has taken Mr. W. J. Moorhead as a partnerin the mercantile business. Mr. Whisonant has, for several years, been conducting business there, and we are glad to note has been quite successful. Mr. M. has had several years' experience in business, too. The cotton crop is pretty well all sold. The Farmers' Alliance, I understand, is discussing the propriety of planting less cotton this year than usual. The stubborn price of guano will cause an amount of that commodity to be left on the hands of venders this year. The Wilkinsville Alliance has had 250 bushels of seed oats shipped to its members, at prices quite satisfactory to them. I also understand that they are making arrangements to have their corn, flour, Ac., ordered through the same channel. We hope, among other reformatory measures before that body, that they will aee that every skulking vagabond shall be put to work to earn his living or made J to leave the country. This move wouli crystallize society, W? place our countr; ! on the road to prosperity. It would re store that confidence and relationship tha labor and capital should have in eacl other. _ Sigma. Correspondeace of tfce Yorkville Enquirer. LETTER FROM LANCASTER. Lancaster, January 29.?Lancaste used to be be designated by a witty publl functionary, who was supreme in the day of Republican rule in South Carolina, a being located just "beyond the pale o civilization." But were a stranger t< come here now and flsit our churches anc congregations on Sunday, he would fini that we have as many orderly church-go ing people, as any town in the State of th( same number of inhabitants. Indeed nearly all our people are regular in theh attandence at church. The whites have all told, five churches, viz.: The Presby< terian, Baptist, Associate Reformed, Epis copal and Methodist, and all open fo: preaching at stated periods. And the col ored people have three churches and largi congregations. 1 ?

Would it not be* well to have our sister towns joic us on certain* occasions, and participate ii the exercises ? The dance draws its vota ries from all the surrounding towns on cer tain occasions; but we think brain exercis< in the literary society, would be muct more profitable and ennobling, and thai it should be made more entertaining anc attractive. The head should always hav< sway over the.Aeeto, and be the membei that should receive the highest culture. The weather ha3 been inclement anc extremely rough here for the past week It has rained until our roads and streets and pavements h?ve become almost unpassable. It has been, and continues sharp and cold, and gives a gloomy as peet to everything. Trade and businesi of all kinds have been very much hin dered. The Alliances are still at war with th( merchants and phosphate companies. The problem that they are now trying tc solve is, how to get their supplies and fer tilizers at cheaper fates. The credit system, and the lien business, with their consequent high prices and extravagances, are ruining the agricultural prospects o) this country. The farmers are in no better condition than they were years ago. There musl be a change made in the system of farming in this country, or everything must go backwards. We have the finest climate in the world; the best soil, everything considered, with which any people were ever blessed, yet there is no prosperity and every one is complaining of. hard times. Something is wrong, and things are not as they should be in this country. Let the farmer use bis head and work out the problem for the amelioration of his race. The township bond question for Lancaster is now before the supreme court, and a speedy hearing will likely be had. The great question is whether the recent Act of the legislature is competent to cure, and whether it does cure the defect in the Act incorporating the townships. The legislature certainly intended it as a cure; and we have some able men in the legislature, whose opinions are not to be despised. The lawyers, pro and contra, are consulting, with great care and study, Cooley on Constitutional Limitations, Dillon on Incorporations, and other constitutional authorities, and will doubtless be well prepared. There is in it a great moral question that should not be lost sight of. And when a man ventures an opinion on the question it would be well to remember c *i!LqJTMoi>' plaint should be laidaside.

Blackstock, January 28.?To introduce our little town to the readers of The Enquirer, it is enough to state that it lies on both sides of the C., C. & A. Railroad, about halfway between Columbia and Charlotte, making up in length what it so sadly lacks in width. Nor can it be said of Blackstock, as we hear of so many places: "The best and prettiest part of the town can't be seen from the railroad." All there is of it can readily be seen by the passing tourist, if he will only follow with his eye the meanderings of our principal street, which may be found, sometimes on one side, sometimes on the other of the iron way, until, in the "business centre of the city," it divides itself into two parts, running on each side of and parallel to the railroad track. Though commonly thought to be situated in Chester county, part of our town lies in the limits of Fairfield. Of its two secular public buildings, the guard house and the academy, the former is in Chester and the latter in Fairfield. The postoffice, too is in the last named county; so we think Chester cannot lay any just claims to all the greatness that may be evolved in our midst in the coming years. Of its past glory and present achievements, Blackstock has much to tell; but enough "has already been said, it is humbly trusted, to awaken some degree of interest in those of your readers who have heard of it before, and to rebuke the ignorance of those who have never known of the existence, location, and pietensions of our "city in embryo." The Galuowb Last frrmv.?Charles Blackmail, colored, was hanged at Ellaville, Shelby county, Ga., in the presence of an immense crowd for the murder ol Stonewall Tondee, white, in 1885. Blackman is supposed to have killed Tondee because the latter was too intimate with his wife. Blackman had been convicted ol murder three times, and each time his lawyer secured anew trial. The people of Schley county were so afraid that Governor Gordon would interfere and stay Blackman's execution, that the telegraph wires were cut in order to prevent tne transmission of a message from Atlanta, Ed. Troy, colored, was hanged at Marietta, Ga. The prisoner is aaid to have confessed to the murder of Watchman Charlie Howard three years ago. The crime -for vrtrlch her -was hat>g|Jru?B of his wife, the reason ffeged for the kill ing being that the woiftn had knowledge of his other'crime. T At Yanceyville, Caswell county, N. C. John Yancey, colored, was hanged for the murder, last April, of Bob Oliver, alsc colored. The execution was public anc fully two thousand persons witnessed it Yancey's neck was broken and he diet without a struggle. The murder of Oliyei was a most brutal one. and Yancey mad< full confession, saying his punishment wai just. At Eutaw, Ala., a negro named Jaine: Seames was hanged forthe murder of Dep uty Sheriff Autrey, of Tuscaloosa, abou six months ago. He was calm and col lected, and died in nineteen minutes afte the drop fell. ^ ai v^aujciuu, xeaa8, tjtiarles mcuiiiwa hanged for the murder of Willie Leonard It was the first legal haneing in Milai county in thirty years. Richard Smith, a Choctaw Indian, wa hanged at Fort Smith, Arkansas, fo the assassination of Thomas Pringle, ii Indian Territory, on March 28,1888. Af ter a short prayer, and taking the crucifi: in his hands and kiting it, he said: u swear that I am innocent of the crina for which I suffer. Good-bye."

A Successful Physician. * In a large and lArative practice running through a number a years, my husband, by usingSwift's Specifll restored health to a great many people in whose cases all other remedies had proven useless. To give a list would be to write the history of stubborn maladies and remarkable and wonderful cures. I will mention the caan nf a vniinc man afflicted with blood poison for five years. He was helpless for a year?was bliod for some days, and his i case seemed incurable?for under the usual treatment he had grown worse, until hie case was, to say the least, horrible; rheumatism came on to add to his sufferings. Dr. Love prescribed Swift's Specific and by its use the poison was gradually forced out of his system, the sight restored, the rheumatism cured, and to-day he is a sound and healthy man. My husband regarded Swift's Specific as the besl known medicine for diseases which it professed to cure. Mrs. J. T. Love. Leesburg, Ga., Sept. 20,1888. January 30 5 tf KUYKEYDAI/8 SPECIALS.

My reputation as a Clothier, or as a merchant in any of my lines, is too ? well-known in York, Lancaster, Chester and 1 Union, and yes, even in Spartanburg, to need I one word of praise for my goods. Though I , am not given to quoting prices in the Enquir. br, I have given you a few above to show you that I mean business unadulterated. When you see a man wiUi a neat fitting suit of Clothes or a Dandy Nice Overcoat, you can almost gamble that It came from W. C. LATI. MER'S stock of Clothing.

It will pay you to do so, as you well know; but you are prudently counting the cost and endeavoring to satisfy yourself as to the most durable and economical material with which 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 applied to a building with a guarantee that if they aid not last a certain period, the house would be repainted at the manufacturer's expense. You have seen numbers of cases were they did not last and the manufacturer kept his word. The buildings were repainted and the nnfnnll.f Of A T T7< At At/p A At T V DP uaiiii auvuauj ovauuu v/r r auaih iju~ 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 building and of course dropped off in scales with the prepared stufT. When this occurs it is claimed that the pre?ared paint lasted longer than the White Lead. he truth of the matter is that the lead had no showing at all. Being applied to the loose scales of the other stuff it could not be expected to stick. 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 sfehool boy knows, is simply metalic lead put through a chemical process, and in order to chauge 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 paint your house with this material you have it coated with the most durable paint that has ever been discovered. ECKSTEIN'S PHOENIX BRAND WHITE LEAD is of such fine quality that the manufacturers offer to pay an 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 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. We've Got Something to Show Yon! In our store can be found many novelties of different kinds. Among them is a splendid article in the shape of a blacking brush called the SUNSHINE POLISHER. It is the most convenient and durable blacking brush over invented. Let us show it to you and you will buy one. MAY & MAY. 1AM agent for the above Company and have now a large supply 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 country. The reports from the crops of 188s 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 its manufacture, with an increasing demand. I will give close prices to responsible parties. F. HAPPERFIELD. G. H. O'LEARY, Dealer in Furniture, Stoves and Carpets.
