LETTER FROM CHESTER. Correspondence of the Yorkvllle Enquirer. Chester, December 3.?A right serious fire j occurred at midnight last night. The flames broke out on S. M. Jones <fc Co.'s cotton platform and destroyed about forty bales, together i with the warehouse adjoining, with its contents. The cotton was insured for 82,000; the contents of tho warehouse for $500. The warehouse itself was not insured, the policy thereon having expired December 1st. The building belonged to J. K. Coleman, who bought it yesterday at the Chambers sale. The colored firemen fought the flames bravely. The Stonewalls were powerless, their engine being at the shop for repairs. At about 5 o'clock this morning tho fire alarm was sounded again, the cause being a small cotton blaze on W. Holmes llardin & Co.'s . cotton platform caused, presumably, from a spark of the former blaze. The latter firo damaged several bales. James Byrd, a young engineer on the Narrow Gauge lines, died here very suddenly on Wednesday night with a congestive chill. "The dead man's remains were taken to Grover, on the Air-Line road, the next day. Nowswas received here several days ago, of the death in Atlanta, on the 20th ultimo, of Dr. William R. Waring, a former resident of Chester. Dr. Waring's death rosulted from a fall on the stairway at his home, a fracture of the skull having been sustained in the fall which resulted fatally in a short time. Archie Gray, colored, had his arm badly mashed in a cotton press near town on Friday. The arm was so badly injured that it had to be taken off above the elbow. Mr. J.ohn Fraser and Miss Janie Burdell; also Mr. Courteneyand Miss EvaMcGaffy, were married at Lewis's, on Wednesday. One of the most brazen villains that ever struck the town of Chester was roped in here Sunday afternoon. Several days ago, a young man came to town and secured rooms at the Holinont House. Soon after reaching town, the stranger made the acquaintance of the president of the newly organized Young Men's Christian association at this place, introducing himself as George T. Howser, secretary of the Cincinnati Y. M. C. A. The stranger seemed to be so thoroughly posted in regard to the associatiou work that the local president here never questioned the man's identity. The stranger said that be , was on a trip through the South; that he had just visited the Charlotte Y. M. C. A., and, hearing there that a new association had recently started at Chester, he had decided to come here and help on the cause. On Sunday morning an announcement was made at the different churches in town that Mr. Geo. T. Howner, secretary of the Y. M. C. A. at Cincinnati, would deliver an address at the Methodist church at 2 P. M. to all those interested in the association work here. At the appointed hour a fair audience of men gathered at the -* u J nnnnftH thfl cnurco, unu in. jr. tivwoc*, ou-v?uvu, v^vMVv. meeting with a short reading from the book of Genesis, the selection comprising Jacob's vow, ( which the Bpeaker made the basis of his remarks. After a short talk in regard to this vow, the sanctimonious scoundrel proceeded < to give a historical account of the organization, following with an account of the devotional 1 work of the association. The speaker seemed to be ill at ease, but he managed to get through , fairly well, winding up his talk with a short reference to jail committees, little dreaming that be, himself would see the stars rise that night through a grated window. The meeting i closed at 3 o'clock with an appointment of an- < other meeting to-night. Shortly after the meeting ended, a member of the association here got possession of a recent Charlotte paper, in which the man was com- , pletely ana conclusively exposed, although the 1 villain had tried to work Charlotte under a different name; claiming there to be A. F. Bowl- i ing, assistant secretary at Cincinnati. This | opened the eyes of the reader, who at once ( sought out the secretary of the association at . Chester, to whom the facts were communicated. These two at once instituted a search for the 1 sinner, who had left the Methodist church shortly after accepting an invitation to attend I a young men's prayer meeting at the Baptist church at half past four. As that hour was ap- < proaching, the two proceeded to the Baptist , church and got there just before the meeting ' opened, finding the bogus Howser occupying a front seat and looking as full of piety as if he had been an apostle. The presideutof theY. < M. C. A. at Chester, was also at the meeting, l and he was first called out and putin possession t of the facts, Brother "Howser," meanwhile twisting in his seat as if he was not comfortable. The first idea of the association men here was to put him to counting cross-ties at once, but before "launching" him they decided to take him to the Belmont, and see if they oould save for the proprietor there the villain's board. After reaching the hotel, other developments followed, lendingadditional interest to the case. From an incidental remark which theimposter had made the day before to one of the young men here, it was believed that a check was on the fraud's person which he intended to have cashed here. A demand was made upon him to show that check. "Howser" said nothing in reply to this request, meanwhile, however, he had confessed that he was not Geo. T. but Wm. E. Howser, a brother of the former from whom he had learned the workings of the Y. M. C. A. The reouest to see the check was urged, whereupon the man attempted to break out of the door but was intercepted. His next dodge was a feigned move as if tostirrenctOTthe check, during which the man sidled up to the fire and threw into it a whole handful of papers, which were at once snatched out by one of the parties present. Chief of Police Marshall was now sent for, whereupon the villain began to do the pathetic act, but his appeals for clemency and promises of reformation fell on deaf ears. When Chief Marshall arrived, he commenced a search of the prisoner which resulted in some interesting finds, oue of them being a long dirk in the man's inside vest pocket, which lie had worn during his prayer meeting. A number of letters were found which seemed to indicate au abundance of aliases. Several checks, all for amounts ranging from $17.50 to $25.00, were found, also two on the Old Boston National Bank, and one on the East Side Bank, of New York. Wm. E. Sewall, John Ward, and Chas. E. Milford, were some of the names appearing on these checks. A number of pawnbroker's tickets were also found calling for diamond pins, silver watches and the like. All this seemed to indicate that the man was worth catching, and later developments also showed that he had been doing a boarding house in Monroe calling himself Sewall there. The prisoner was taken to jail last night by the town officer, and in order to secure time for further investigation, a warrant was sworn cut this morning for his arrest n the charge of carrying concealed weapons. The man of many aliases will be given a preliminary at 4 p. m. this afternoon if he wants it. The prisoner is of medium height, stooped, very light hair, florid complexion, with a long face, smooth-shaven, all but a small mustache. His mouth is rather prominent, his teeth showing while he speaks. He seems to be not over 25 years old. Mr. E. C. Stahn's jewelry store was robbed on Saturday night.' Several tine Smith & Wesson pistols, several hammerless pistols, a few cheap watches, and some pocket knives, seem to have constituted the principal plunder. Mrs. Jerome Stokes died a few days ago. An infant son of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Smith umu KnriDfl nn Frirlov Rev. Geo. Summey left for a short trip to New York this afternoon. Miss Eva Petty returned home to Spartanburg on Friday, accompanied by Miss Nannie Agurs, whomsbe has been visiting here. Dr. and Mrs. O. J. Bond, and Miss Jessie Bond, will leave here for Marion and the low country to-morrow to spend several months. Large sales of land took place yesterday. Prices ranged from very low to quite high. About six thousand acres were sold, the heaviest transaction for many years. LETTER FROM UNION. Correspondence of the Yorkvllle Enquirer. Union, S. C., December 2.?Little Eloise, daughter of Representative H. S. Beaty, had her left leg broken above the ankle last Tuesday while swinging. She was swinging with a crowd of merry little girls, and as she got out of the swing, the heavy board struck her a terrible blow. Mr. J. G. Rice, of Fish Dam, who has just recovered from a severe attack of typhoid fever, came to town last Saturday, against the wish of his physician. He spent the night at his father's residence, here, Maj. S. M. Rice, where he now lies in a critical condition. Mr. Rice is one of the best young men in this county. Coroner Gregory held an inquest over a four year old child on Mr. Tom Davis's place, yesterday, that was burned to death. More carelessness on the. part of a mother. "Cris" Gossett, a negro man liked by all in this community, met with a serious, and painful accident yesterday. While trucking a loaded box car at the oil mill, some one pushed a box car up behind him, catching his leg, and breaking it just above the ankle. Your correspondent visited the wounded man a few moments afterwards, and he was suffering intensely. The bone was broken, and was protruding through the flesh. "Bud" Rasters, a colored boy, about 1G years of age, attempted suicide last Sunday morning, while sitting at his mother's breakfast table. He used a 32-calibre pistol, putting the muzzle in his mouth. The roof of his mouth turned the ball,1 and it came out through his jaw.

Rev. Walter I Herbert, the new Methodist minister, preached his first sermon here yesterday. Mrs. B. C. Lampley, wife of ltev. B. C. j Lampley, has been quite sick, but is now much better. A delightful "sociable" was given at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Bewley, last Tuesday evening, in honor of Miss Ida Bewley, a popular young lady of Anderson. Wro. McGowan, Esq., has gone to Yorkville on business. Guss Moorman, a negro man, living on the Jeter mill place, was shot and killed instantly last Saturday night by Dennis Humphries. From all the particulars I can gather, it seems they were quarreling over a trade of a dog; Humphries cursed Moorman, who, not being armed, left Humphries, fearing a fight might ensue. Humphries drew his revolver and shot Moorman, who was some distance from him. A large fire made of logs was between them. Humphries has fled and is still at large. Coroner Gregory will hold an inquest to-day, he having been absent from home yesterday. w. o. c. LETTER FROM BLACKSTOCK. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. Blackstock, December2.?Thanksgiving day was observed in our town by the closing of all the stores and schools, and by holding religious services in the Presbyterian church. Rev. Mr. Attaway, who supplied the Rossville circuit last year, took his friends here?at least some of them?by surprise, when he came back one day last week from his trip to Conference, accompanied by a fairyoung bride, whom he had wooed and won as Miss Cannon, of Newberry county. They went direct from Blackstock , to the home of Mr. James Barber, where a reception was given them the next day. Mr. A. has been sent to the Lancaster circuit for the coming year. Quite an interesting "spelling bee" took Dlace at the academy here last Friday af ternoon. The pupils of the Oak urove school, about four miles below this place, came up to spell against an equal number of our school. The visitors had the choice of weapons and selected a book to spell from that was not used in the school here, and in which they had been thoroughly drilled. In spite of all these disadvantages to our side, the match, which consumed nearly two hours, was declared a "tie," there being several standing on each side when all the words in the book had been spelled. An aged lady in our community, the wife of Capt. W. B. Woodward, died last Friday night after a long and painful illness. Mrs. Woodward was for years a consistent member of the Baptist church, and the true beauty of her lovely Christian character seemed to shine forth brighest when all else around her was growing dark, and death came to her a welcome ! change from so much pain and suffering as she experienced during her last illness. 1 Her remains were laid to rest in the graveyard of Fellowship church, where the funeral services were conducted by Rev. J. ] Q. Adams, assisted by Rev. W. G. Neville. 1 Quite a large family is left to mourn the loss of this, their loved one. i #? ?? i LETTER PROM UNION COUNTY. i Correspondence of the Yorkvllle Enquirer. Etta Jane, December 2.?The severe cold snap has put a stop to out door work. ( A few of our farmers are sowing wheat. , The frozen condition of the ground makes t that work difficult to do properly. An j abundance of cotton bolls are yet to open, , but in the majority of cases the farmers , will not wait ou it and risk losing a wheat ' crop; besides, much of the frost-bitten cotton will not open at all. Notwithstanding last Wednesday was a 1 very inclement day, and was calculated to break up preparations for thanksgiving at Salem Presbyterian church on Thursday ( fniirkunncr vpfr. our npnnle determined to i ivuvn?u6) c r - carry out their long cherished plaD,ifat i all within the line ot possibility. Thure- J day dawned cold and windy, yet by 10.30 ; a. ra., every respectable means of convey- 1 ance began to deliver its precious freight upon the church grounds until a goodly . umber of people had assembled. At < precisely 11 o'clock a. m., J. L. Strain, J superintendent of the Salem Sundayschool, called the house to order and an- J nounced the object of the meeting. He < then read part of the 2nd chapter of Joel, after which Rev. S. D. F. Gaitft offered a fervent prayer for the occasion. The choir then sung an appropriate hymn, and Rev. j Mr. Gault addressed the congregation in his plain, practical style of reasoning. I He pictured the causes for which we ought j to be thankful and reminded his hearers that this was a day of thanksgiving?a national Sabbath?one which we as a peo- . pie did not properly appreciate. Our nation was at peace with every other uation on the globe, our fields had produced ; exuberant crops; no fatal epidemics had < scourged our nation and people this year; i the storms and floods of former years had been withheld; and God in His infinite mercy and justice had said to the de- ] stroying angel, "It is enough; stay now , honH >> A ftor t.hp sincinc of a uuiuv/ uuuut v??w v'-n"~n ? ? hymn, Jas. L. Strain and P. S. Webber i each addressed the audience on the mo- 1 mentous work of giving thanks to Al- : mighty God for His many mercies/and J assured their hearers that no people un- ] derthe sun had more to be thankful for , than we of America. i James. L. Strain read the president's \ proclamation setting this day apart as a day of thanksgiving and prayer. After \ prayffr by C. W. Whisonant, an intermis- , sion was taken, when a sumptuous feast of , good things was spread for the refreshing ; of the inner man. The dinner was every- i thing that an epicure could wish and at < the same time showed the zgal of our lady J friends. wi. After dinner, C. W. WhiMfetntand Jos. , M. Osment addressed the ?/^knce. The j proceedings throughout wei mterspersed t with music, and the whole Waif was a ' grand success. Mr. Eleazer Parker died at his home, j near Gaffney City, last Saturday, aged ! about 84 years. He was buried at Salem ] yesterday. Prof. Sams, of Gaffney City i Male and Female Seminary, conducted ] the funeral service. For many years previous to his removal to Gaffney City, Mr. ( Parker was an elder in Salem Presbyteri- , an church. He removed his membership , to Gaffney City Presbyterian church, but was always liberal and worshipped with i other Christian denominations. Sigma. ] , t t i The Nix Failure.?The ^failure of Mr. Nix, the erratic lawyer-merchant of Greenville, is being generally discussed through the newspapers, and his methods sharply criticised by some. The Newberry Observer says: It is the biggest 1 thing of the sort that has occurred in the , State in years. A meeting of the creditors ' was held in Greenville last Saturday, and through his attorney, W. A. Williams, Mr. Nix offered them 25 per cent, as a compromise, provided a majority accepted. After deliberating about six hours, a small majority did accept, and will receive their pay within five days, provided no unforeseen circumstances prevent it. The liabilities, as far as can be ascertained, are about one hundred and seventy-five thousand dollars, and available assets about forty thousand dollars. L. W. Parker was elected agent of the creditors, and they are to have another meeting about the middle of December. The action of this meeting was not final, and it is probable that there will be a number of lawsuits, and Mr. Nix will be given a great deal of trouble before a final settlement is made. The Silver Question.?The National Silver Convention met in St. Louis last week and was in session for three days. There were 350 delegates in attendance, representing Western and Southern States, and the proceedings were tm.*ked with ; unanimity. Several papers were read on the questions of currency, and before ad- i journment the following resolution was 1 adopted: "That the 51st Congress be requested by this Convention to provide, at its first session, for opening the mints of the United i States to the free and unlimited coinage of < standard silver dollars, of present weight and fineness, to be legal tender for all debts, public or private, equal with gold, and that until such provision is made the secretary of the treasury be required to coin the maximum $4,000,000 worth of silver per month, as now authorized by law." Illness of Jefferson Davis.?As, is generally known, Jefferson Davis is in New Orleans, quite ill. A dispatch of last Saturday from that city says that on Friday night, his medical adviser reported his condition improved over that of Thursday, but anxiety is by no means removed. Any danger that may be apprehended, arises not so much from the complaint he is suffering under, but is from inability to receive nourishment. Sunday's report says his condition is unchanged from that of Saturday. He is very weas. THE THERMOMETER'S RECORD Forthe "WeekEnding November [3? Observations by Mr. J. It.

I was inexpressibly miserable, sick, s weak, sleepless, and unhappy; desiring that j the short time which seemed to have been al- j lotted to me on this earth would hasten to an c end. I tried doctor's treatment and medicine, and travel, but none of these did any good, for r the scrofula grew worse. One physician, who I traveled far to see, and to whom I paid 8150, t gave up the case as hopeless after threo weeks of treatment, and other as prominent physicians tried hard to cure it, but were as equally ; unsuccessful. I then gave up all other medicines, and took only Swift's Specific (S. S. S.) Four bottles of that medicine cured me, and i for the past four years I have had as excellent h??Hh and T am as free from disease as any- ~ body living. Words are inadequate to express , my gratitude and favorable opinion of Swift's Specific (S. S. S.) J The above is an extract from a letter written under date of July 18. 1889, by Mr. F. Z.

Wilkerson, one of Western J York's most enterprising citizens, progressive 8 farmers and president of the Hickory Grove Farmers' Alliance, recently obtained a Corbin Disk Harrow from us. Below will bo found what Mr. Wilkerson thinks of the implement after a short experience. Hickory Grove, S. C., Nov. 25, 1889. Notwithstanding the fact that my experience with the Corbin Disk Harrow is rather limited, still I am prepared to give it my hearty and * unconditional endorsement. I concluded after , receiving the Harrow obtained from you, that the first test I made of it should be what seem3(1 to me to be the most difficult feat which the manufacturers and Messrs. Guthrie and Dover i claimed for it, viz.: That by using the Harrow i farmer could sow his wheat and oats on stalk s land without using any other tool, and could io it better than with a plow. Now, that claim, a to say the least of it, looked extravagant to a , man who had never seen the Harrow at work. [ recently put in wheat with my Harrow on f] cotton stalk land which had not been plowed since crops were laid by, and will say that the j work is more satisfactorily done than any man 3an do it with a plow. I can take two medium sized mules and my Corbin Harrow, and sow from seven to eight acres of wheat or oats in mie day. Put beside this what the very best hand with a good horse and plow can do, and it will not take a particularly shrewd mathematician to'estimate theditTerence in dollarsand zents between the value of the work done by a plow and that done by the Harrow. In eonclu- ^ sion, I will say that I firmly believe it will do all the manufacturers claim for it, and would say further, that every farmer should have one, and 8 that the longer the matter of buying is put off, the greater the loss to the farmer, as it can be A used to great advantage in winter, spring, summer and fall. I consider myself incompetent 1 to estimate its value from an economical standpoint. Respectfully, Wm.S. Wilkerson.

October 30 -14 3m THE GHEAT BANKRUPTCY SALE on GOODS UNDER THE HAMMER Is Becoming One of the Most Popular Advertising Dodges of the Hour ! PICK up any paper you like, printed in any section of the United States between Alaska" and Key West, or between Maine and California, and the first thing that will greet your eyes on turning through the paper you have in hand will bo "THE GREAT BANKRUPT SALE" which is now going on, and which oilers its customers BARGAINS THAT THE PROPRIETOR HIMSELF WOULD BUY IF HE ONLY HAD THE OPPORTUNITY ; each man claiming to have advantages that others cannot obtain?"the only and origiginal auction house in America." We don't intimate for a moment that these assertions are inonrrnnf nr liaf thn unnMflmnn wlirt rp.qnrt. to such measures cannot decoy many lambs into their fold, but wo appeal to tho common sense of an intelligent people as to the possibility or practicability of tho "The Great bankrupt Hale," or the auctioneers hammer controlling the factorios and gigantic wholesale dry goods houses against the legitimate commerce of tho Unitod States ! Such a state of affairs does not exist, nor can it ever oxist! The laws of commerce and the wealth of the world are opposed to such things, while to common sense !.t is repugnant aiul cannot be done." for 50 Cents Or GOODS AT HALF THEIR VALUE, is another absurdity of this day and generation, which is calculated to delude many "poor little innocents" with financial aspirations and cause them to attempt to buy themselves rich. Why not let the peoplo of Yorkville assemble together in mass mooting and appoint committees looking to tho securing of the World's Fair in 1892? There aro several towns that want it. Chicago has raised 86,000,000, while New York has raised only about 85,000,000. Yorkville should be moving in this matter or Bhe will be late. Prompt action might secure the prize. Don't you think there is as much probability in this thing as there are in some others? We have never claimed that we could sell everything cheaper than others could buy it, but we will say in conclusion that the man who sells goods cheaper than we do, will have to Bteal theui and swindle the railroad out of the freight! Buy where you please, but always see to it that you get "two to one" if you can ! CHRISTMAS GOODS. Old Santa Claus has definitely determined to molro fho Tlo-yoar h\u hAftrlnnRrtfira rlnrinc thfi holiday festivities. He has left thousands and thousands of toys at our store to be distributed among the little children thoughout the land. He left them here for our customers, arid he said that he wanted us to distribute them to our patrons at the most reasonable prices, for said he, "in some families there are many children whose hearts are to be made glad, and in leaving these things in your charge it is taking a great responsibity on myself tnat I alone can assume, and for the reputation that you bear in this community for reliable goods and legitimate transactions, I feei satisfied that the confidence bestowed is not misplaced and that my selection is wise, and that the little children shall have an equal division of the many beautiful presents that I leave with you." And the old man was spirited away, for as he himself said that he "had many miles to go and a limited time to go it in and as he passed out of our door we made up our mind to do as we were bid. Watch us ! We Will Meet Anybody's Prices Under any and All Circumstances. We announce to the public that .we are going to close out our entire stock of Winter Clothing, and would say to all those who are in need of anything in this line, now is their opportunity to buy.
