LETTER FROM UNION COUNTY. Correspondence of the Yorkvllle Enquirer. Etta Jane, December 9.?The past f week has been a favorable one for farm work, and most of the cotton has been ~ picked out. Wheat sowing has made some progress. Nothing but bad weather will prevent a good crop of it from being sown, even though it is late. The low price of cotton has stopped our people from hauling it to market, as they ^ did early in the fall. But little of it will i be sold beyond the pressing demands of the f farmers, unless the price improves. Our S people are tired of putting their crops into s market at a less cost than it takes to pro- ^ duce them. Such downhill business must atop. Farmer^ cannot stand it. Were it not for the debts contracted dur- xm ing the three last years (which were so 5 disastrous to crops in this section) hanging over our people, the country would be comparatively easy in that respect.

Should the same policy be continued with 15 the same results for a few years our State would be prosperous and our people wise q and comparatively independent. 1 Rev. J. W.

S Correspondence of the Yorkvlllc Enquirer. s Sharon, December 10.?Last Friday s was the most busy day Sharon has ever A had. There was decidedly more cotton sold ' /lo.. than nn anv nthpr nrtPl dflV norc uu mat uaj tnuu vu mmj ? in its history. The home buyer, Mr. Julius Hope, bought one hundred and twenty : bales. Mr. Gordon, of Yorkville, (for Latta Bros.) and Mr. Whisonant, of Blacksburg, were here as buyers. A few more c such days would make Sharon look quite 5 like a cotton market. Mr. S. M. Wylie's store room is about complete, and will be ready for occupancy soon. c Mr. J. Ran. Warmouth, of Union, has t gone into the harness and saddle business t here. We gladly welcome all such enter- prises in our little town. There is a fine drove of Tennessee hogs in town. There seems to be a demand c' for hogs this season, and the ruling price i is five cents per pound. I Our town seems to be a favorite^resort l for North Carolina wagons. r. SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS. I ?

Mr. Wm, S. Wilkerson, one of Western York's most enterprising citizens, progressive farmers and president of the Hickory Grove Farmers' Alliance, recently obtained a Corbin Disk Harrow from us. Below will be found what Mr. Wilkerson thinks of the implement ifter 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 seemed to me to be the most difficult feat which the manufacturers and Messrs. Guthrie and Dover claimed for it, viz.: That by using the Harrow s farmer could sow his wheat and oats on stalk land without using any other tool, and could do it better than with a plow. Now, that claim, to say the least of it, looked extravagant to a man who had never seen the Harrow at work. I recently put in wheat with my Harrow on cotton stalk land which had not been plowed since crops were laid by, and will say that the work is uiore satisfactorily done than any man can do it with a plow, I can take two medium irant Bcrbii m?t .yv Cnrbin HnrrmV. mid bow one day. Put beside this what the very best" hand with a good horRe and plow can do, and it will not take a particularly shrewd mathematician to estimate the difference in dollarsand cents between the value of the work done by a plow and that done by the Harrow. In concludon, I will say that I firmly believe it will do all the manufacturers claim for it, and would say further, that every farmer should haveoue, and :hat the longer the matter of buying is put off, the greater the loss to the farmer, as it can bo .tsed to great advantago in winter, spring, summer and fall. I consider myself incompetent ;o estimate its value from an economical standpoint. Respectfully, Wm.S. Wilkerson. Are You Skeptical ?

THE ORE^T JANKRUPTCYSALE on GOODS UNDER THE HAMMER i Becoming One of the Most Popular j Advertising Dodges of the Hour ! 3ICK up any paper you like, printed in j _ any section of the United States between la8ka" and Key West, or between Maine and | alifornia, and the first thing that will greet Dur eyes on turning through the paper you ive in hand will bo "THE GREAT BANKUPT SALE" which is now going on, and hich offers its customers BARGAINS THAT HE PROPRIETOR HIMSELF WOULD UY IF HE ONLY HAD THE OPPORTU1TY ; each man claiming to have advantages lat others cannot obtain?"the only and original auction house in America." We don't itimafe for a moment that these assertions are icorrect, or that the gentlemen who resort to ich measures cannot decoy many lambs into leir fold, but we appeal to the common sense f an intelligent people as to the possibility or racticability of the "The Great Bankrupt lie," or the auctioneers hammer controlling le factories and gigantic wholesale dry goods 3usos against the legitimate commerce of the rrited States ! Such a state of affairs does not list, nor can it ever exist! The laws of comlerce and the wealth of the world are opposed > such things, while to common sense it is re ugnant unci cannot be clone. ?1 foi* 50 Cents r GOODS AT HALF THEIR VALUE, is lotber absurdity of this clay and generation, hich is calculated to delude many "poor ttle innocents" with financial aspirations and luse them to attempt to buy themselves rich. Why not let the people of Yorkville assemle together in mass meeting and appoint comlittees looking to the securing of the World's air in 1892? There are several towns that ant it. Chicago has raised ?(>,000,000, while ew York has raised only about ?5,000,000. orkville should be moving in this matter or le will be late. Prompt action might secure le prize. Don't you think there is as much robability in this thing as there are in some thers? We have never claimed that we could sell verything cheaper than others could buy it, ut we will say in conclusion that the man who ills goods cheaper than we do, will have to :eal tnem and swindls the railroad out of the 'eight!
