There seems to a decided and growing impression in favor of the proposed change from gasolene to electricity. A few citizens oppose the contemplated change, but they seem to constitute a marked minority. One of the opposers of the change is the present pro tem. editor of the Bulletin, who has expressed his views concerning the matter in a leading editorial this week, congratulating the town on having "resisted the blandishments of the Brush Company." These congratulations seem, however, to have been premature. Your correspondent had a short interview with the Brush Company's agent on Saturday and learned from him that the prospect was brighter than ever for the establishment of a Dlant in our midst. The town council has signified its willingness to take fifteen arc lights at a cost of twelve hundred dollars a year, this amount beiDg about four hundred dollars more than the present gasolene system costs. These street lights will be of two thousand candle power each. In addition to the abdve, a large number of incandescent lights have been subscribed for to be used in stores and dwellings. The agent of the Brush Company is now engaged in canvassing for subscriptions to the stock of the proposed company, and is meeting with encouraging success, having already secured onethird of the desired amount. The town is now out of debt entirely and has about four thousand dollars in the treasury. Exactly what to do with that money and how it can best be expended for the benefit of the people, are questions of no little interest. One hundred and fifty dollars have already been yoted by the council for a brass band, on condition that instruments be the property of the town, should the band go to pieces?an appropriation whereat public opinion is kicking right vigorously. Some think the surplus should be expended in improving the streets; others want the cemetery fenced and improved; while some of the country cousins, with one eye fixed on the surplus in town and the other on the high rate of county taxes, are talking seriously of making an effort in the next legislature to have the revenue from the bar-rooms turned into the county treasury. Chester was visited some days ago by a delegation of Gaffney gentlemen, Messrs. Thompson, Sarratt, and Wood, who came to our town to talk railroad. At the last session of the legislature the charter of the Chester and Camden Railroad, of which the late Major Julius Mills was projector and president, was amended so as to permit the extension of the road through to Gaffney and thence to the North Carolina line. The people of Gaffney are very much interested at present in the construction of a line that has been chartered in North Carolina to run down to the State line at some point northwest of their town. The object of the recent visit of the gentlemen named above was to get the consent of the Chester directors of the proposed road leading from here to Gaffney, to allow the northern end of the line to be built *from their place on so as to connect with the North Carolina road mentioned above. As the Gaffneyites only wanted permission from this side, and not money, the request was abundantly granted and the delegates who came down to see to the matter, went back home rejoicing. The Racket Store, which was opened here last June by Carpenter & juore, 01 Maiden, N. C., has finished its career. After conducting business here for three or four months, the original proprietors found that they were not making money and so they sold out their stock to Rabb Bros, also of Maiden. These latter gentlemen have been gradually winding up the business for several weeks. They shipped back to North Carolina on Friday the remnant of the stock on hand and the Racket Store is quiet now. The following trial justices for Chester county have been appointed by Governor Richardson: William M. Leckie, Chester and Blackstock townships; F. D. Coleman, Halsellville; A. D. Darby, Baton Rouge; John G. Magill, Lewisville and Hazlewood; W. F. Brown, Rossville; W. B. Crosby, Landsford. Mr. Alexander Bean, aged about fortyfive years, died near Baton Rouge on the 9th instant. Mrs. Garland Gilchrist died on Thursday,^ the Turkey creek section. Captain Harry Leard has given up his position on the C. and L. Railroad. Mr. W. A. Sanders has resigned the office of attorney for the town council, in consequence of a difference of opinion between the council and Mr. Sanders concerning a claim for one hundred dollars made by the latter for service srendered before the Chester delegation at the recent session of the legislature to secure the passage of the high license act now in force here. It is said that the int'endant and one warden were no.. ?Ko nlaim Kmf tho nt.hor UIS^USCU tu paj 11IO V1U1ULI, www vuv V ?W three wardens stoutly opposed its payment. In consequence of this action, Mr. Sanders sent in his resignation, and another result of the same disagreement has been the dissolution of the law firm of Sanders & Whitlock, the latter being one of the three councilmen who voted against the claim. Mr. R. H. Ferguson has been appointed a notary public at Wylie's Mill. Mr. W. Holmes Hardin, Jr., has gone to Little Rock, Marion county, to teach school. The people of Baton Rouge have recently put up a new two story school house, the upper room to be used as a place of-meeting for the Farmers' Alliance. The Chester Building and Loan and Savings Institution has been fully organized and is now regularly under way. Anybody can deposit his savings in this institution, the two conditions being, first: that the deposit shall not be drawn out in less than ninety days; and second that no rate of interest shall be paid to depositors exceeding five per cent. The extra track to the factory building has been finished. It is laid both in narrow and broad gauge. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. NOTES FROM BLACKSTOCK. Blackstock, February 18.?-The event of our little town was the Valentine party given at the hotel last Thursday night in honor of Miss Mattie Mackorell, one of our young ladies who is fortunate enough to claim the fourteenth as her birth-day. To say that the company of fair ones here assembled that night was such as might well add grace and beauty to many a larger assemblege, isbut stating the simple truth ; and we have no doubt that more than one bashful swain made the firm resolve, that no other such festive season should find him without a true Valentine. Among the visiting young ladies and gentlemen, were Misses Addie Drennan and Mamie k 7 "Itagsdale, of Richburg; Misses Mattie Beaty, Maggie McCarley, Eunice Caison and Cynthia Durham, of Winnsboro; Messrs. Davis and Girardeau, of Columbia; Atkinson and Anderson, of Richburg, and Beaty and Douglas, of Winnsboro. 'Tis safe to say that the occasion was enjoyed by all, and, if good wishes will bring them, Miss Mackorell will certainly have many happy returns of the day. Not more than two weeks ago mention was made in the Blackstock letter of the death of Mr. T. M. Boulware, Sr., and the consequent entanglement that might be expected, owing to the fact that Mrs. Boulware holds her right of dower in most of the real estate included in our present town limits. Many of the property holders here were ready and willing to pay her on demand one-sixth of what the land brought at sheriff's sale; but no small stir was caused one day last week, when Mr. T. M. Boulware, Jr., interviewed several who were most largely interested, and announc ed that his mother would claim one-sixth of the land with all improvements. Inasmuch as the site of our flourishing town was, for the most part, nothing more than a field, and a poor one at that, when the original sale took place, there seems to be but one sentiment among our citizens, and that prompts them to resist this claim to the very lastlimit of the law. Present indications, then, point to a big law-suit, in which both the Chester and Winnsboro lawyers will take a part. It may be of some interest to the readers of The Enquirer to learn something of the educational and religious advantages of Blackstock We have here a flourishing school under the management of Mr. Xj. W. Dick, of Sumter, who is ably assisted by Miss Mattie E. Mills, of this place. j . This school has an average of between forty and fifty scholars, and receives aid from the public funds of both Chester and Fairfield counties. The colored people have a 1 large school here, also, the principal of which is Rev. B. F. Russell, the pastor of 1 the colored Presbyterian church. There are three churches for the whitesBaptist, Presbyterian and Methodist. To the first mentioned, Rev. J. Q. Adams, of , Rock Hill, gives every other Sunday. The , Presbyterians have preaching here one week and at Concord the next, the church being one and the same organization, with two houses of worship, situated nearly three miles apart. Its pastor is Rev. W. G. Neville. The Methodist church at this place belongs to the Winnsboro cir- | cuit, and is supplied by Rev. W. M. Dun- 1 can, who preaches here in the afternoon of the first Sabbath of each month. The very inclement weather of yester- ( day, which, no doubt, was general throughout this entire section, put an effectual stop j to all church-going about here. At times ? during the day the thunder was very I heavy, and the atmosphere was overcharg- 1 ed with electricity, as was evident from 1 the almost incessant popping of the wires j in the telegraph office whenever a cloud . seemed to come very near. Correspondence of the Yorkvllle Enquirer. j LETTER FROM LANCASTER. j Lancaster, February 19.?We have had heavy rain-fall here, for the last few days, and the water-courses have been . high. But the railroad trestles have stood up well, and the trains have been regular. It is very trying on the new roadbed, especially as the engines are very large and heavy. There isno new road, in the whole < country, in better condition than the Three i C's; and none, it is believed, on which the ' speed of the trains is so great. The speed j of the trains on the Charlotte and Atlanta c Air-Line is about thirty miles per hour, j on an average, and the speed on the Three t C's will nearly reacn tnat rate, xweive i months from this time its speed will ex- J ceed that of any road in the State. s The rain-fall has impeded the sowing of 1 oats, and stopped the plows generally. | There appears to be, up to this time, less g grain sown than usual, but" February will * be employed from this out, in this import- . ant work. The oats is the first crop har- t vested, and is very beneficial, and comes, * in good time, in May and June, to keep c up the stock when the com is about run s out. Indeed, the oats crop is one of the most useful in this section of country and c should receive more attention than it does. f The merchants are not selling so many \ goods as they did in December and Janua- l ry, but they are doing reasonably well. c The farmers have commenced buying their supplies, but seem to be holding back as r to their fertilizers. It is probable that commercial manures will not, this year, ] be used so profusely as heretofore. It is a question of serious doubt whether, in the { long run, they do much good. If none k had ever been used, it is highly probable that the country would be in a better condition than it now is. e It is said by some that there is much I adulterating practiced in manufacturing t fertilizers. It is almost certain that they r, do no permanent good to the land, but pass t away with the season. It is called in 8 some sections the "lazy man's manure," <5 because it is easy to obtain, and easy to I apply. How much better would it be, if \ the farmers would go to work in the winter and make their own manures. They could prepare something that would work f a permanent improvement to their culti- ' vated fields ; and thus their lands would become better and better every year. As t it now is, they grow worse and worse eve- 3 ry year, ana ine couniry is Decoming pour- ^ er and poorer as each year passes away. ^ This neglect is one of the great causes of o the failure of crdps in this country, and ? the poverty oS our pepphk If oi^cjiiintry ? is ever to flourishTthe reform must be^Tfi' right here. Poor land will never produce good crops. I O. P. Heath, of the firm of Heath, F Springs & Co., has withdrawn from the r firm, and he is now visiting the north- ii west. He has been the leading member I of this firm, but Mr. Leroy Springs, who is very popular here, has taken his place C as manager, and is quite competent to ^ manage the very large business of the 8 firm. Mr. Springs, is the youngest son of F the late Hon. Baxter Springs, who at one ? time, represented York county in the leg- * islature. It is said that this firm sells s more merchandise and supplies than any firm in the State outside the city of Charleston. Thieves broke into the store of W. B. Lemmond, in this town, two nights ago, and stole some canued fruit, etc. ^Lan- * caster will have to place on duty a night j police. Our court is fast approaching. There ^ will be considerable sessions business? three or more homicide cases. The civil business will be light. Harry McCaw, Esq., our polite stenog- i rapher, passed through town last Sunday 1 on his way to Winnsboro, to be ready in c court Monday morning for his steno- 1 graphic duties.

My father died of Cancer, and the same trouble developed near my right eyo in 1883. It was at first a strawberry color, but changed to purplo, and grew to the size of a partridge agg. My righteye became much inflamed, and ;ho dreadful disease was rapidly wasting my life away. I used quite' a number of remedies, but without benefit. At this crisis I began taking Swift's Specific. The improvement was ipparent in a few days, and I continued to use it until the Cancer was entirely gone and my health entirely restored, and I know that S. S. 3. alone did it, because I left oft' all other treatment. It saved me from this hereditary Can;er, wMch went away over two years ago and eft not a sign, and I owe my life, under Provilence, to S. S. S. Mrs. Lauiia E. Deegan. Dawson, Ga., September 2G, 1888. KUYKENDAL'S SPECIALS. Comparisons.

A paint that can be nanufactured and sold wholesale at from f>0 to 10 cents per gallon cannot be of any value as a mint. The following figures will show what :ind of an article cheap paint is, and its value. )ne gallon of pure linseed oil costs wholesale >8 cents ; the dryer, necessary to be put in it, 5 lents; a one-gallon can, 11 cents ; packing and law-dust, 3 cents. Making a total of 77 cents. :t will be plainly seen by this calculation, that f oil and aryer alone constituted a paint, they :ould not be put in a can and sold for loss than rom 90 cents to 11.00, by the manufacturer, and hat white lead, oxide of zinc and linseed oil, he threO ingredients indispensable to a dura)le paint, must be wanting in all paints that :an do retailed at 81.25 per gallon.

If they are allowed to run their course, much inconvenience and seriously impaired health is often the result. The ordinary cold can almost invariably be cured by one or two doses of the proper kind of medicine. This we have, and we will be pleased to have it tried. You can get a sample bottle for ten cents, and after you are convinced of its merits, you can get a larger bottle, containing more than three times the quantity, for twenty-five cents. After atrial, we have no doubt but that you will realize the wisdom of keeping this medicine on hand. We have absolute control of a cough medicine that is superior to any remedy that has ever 8 been placed in this market. Q Patent and Proprietary Medicines. s Whenever you see a patent or proprietary c medicine advertised in a newspaper or elso wb*<^^m^hink you would like to try it, just call onui^ffid we will endeavor to furnish you 1: witW the desired article. We try to keep on hand all medicines that have any real merit, and never knowingly offer for sale a worthless q nostrum. Sometimes you see a remedy advertised "sold only by so and so." If the remedy is a valuable one, we generally manage to I get it in stock. The manufacturer may refuse to sell to any one but his agent, but we get the medicine all the same, and sell it at the manufacturer's price. We have on hand a long list of patent and proprietary medicines, *00 numerous to be mentioned in this space. Among them are specific remedies for nearly every ail- g ment to which to flesh is heir. If you will only describe the trouble, we will furnish the J medicine for its cure or relief. It is frequently g the case that you can get relief trom a vaiuahie patent medicine, even when a regular physi- v cian is unable to do anything for you. j WHITE LEAD. We have been advertising the Phoenix Brand of White Lead quite extensively recently, and the centre shots that have been made in our statements are beginning to toll. Although white lead is a staple article of merchandise whose principal recommendation is its indispensability in securing the best results, in view of existing notions that have been worked up within the past few years with regard to less o valuable substitutes, we have deemed it advisable, from time to time, to put in a few licks in its behalf straight from the shoulder. This is a the only apology for advertising the merits of a paint that stands among paints like unalloyed a gold stands among the metals. g We have just perfected arrangements by which we can paint the house* of responsible r parties with no inconyenience to the owners. We will furnish the material, the painters and do the work, and the bill may bo paid next fall if it does not suit to pay it now. TOBACCO. b We have just received a large lot of Gravely & Miller's celebrated Blue Tag Tobacco. Wo will sell the samo cheap, wholesale and retail, a Horse and Cattle Powders.
