LETTER FROM CHESTER. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. Chester, January 14.?Everett W. Rodgers, alias Chas. E. Anson, aliasF. E. Burbank, alias W. E. Sewell, alias A. F. Dowling, alias W. E. Howser, alias G. T. Howser, alias Welsh, alias Stewart, alias McPherson, alias nobody knows what else or how much, was discharged from custody here one day last week. It will be remembered that this polynominal character was arrested here about the first of December, while he was masquerading as a Y. M. C. A. secretary. From an examination of the prisoner's person made at the time of his arrest, there was good reason to believe that the man was a villain of the first water. Nothing-could be learned of his past career of any importance, beyond the fact that he was a professional dead beat, having swindled boarding houses at Charlotte, Monroe, Raleigh ana Baltimore, adding slight peculations to his other adventures at several of these points. Rodgers, or whatever the man's name was, claimed to want to get to Savannah, and as no other place wanted him, and his - 1^1- J : Ul^ presence was loiauy unuesirtiuio uuuub vuoater.hewas finally discharged on Wednesday, having been presented with a second-class ticket to Columbia, Tho last few days of Rodgers's jail life here were varied by an attack of the grip. He was convalescent when he left and went off in good trim, and has no doubt made several landlords mourn ere this. The special act passed at the recent session of the legislature in regard to Chester's public school district required some changes in the matter of trustees. The new law calls for seven of these officers, three to be chosen by the county board of examiners, three by the town council, and a seventh to be chosen by the other six. Id accordance with these provisions, the county board of examiners appointed a few days ago, Messrs. John C. McFadden, Geo. W. Gage, and J. Lyle Glenn ; the council added as their appointees, Messrs. B. M. Spratt, F. L. Whitlock,and the Rev. George Summey. Hon. Giles J. Fatterson was chosen as the seventh member. Mr. Whitlock has since declined to serve,'leaving one vacancy still to be filled. A special election has been ordered for the 10th of February, to decide the question of issuing bonds for the erection of .the proposed new graded school building. The residence of Mr. I. N. Cross was destroyed by fire on Friday night. The flames were discovered about ten o'clock, just after the family had retired for the night. Although the alarm was given promptly, and the fire companies hurried to the scene, it was impossible to save the building. A strong west wind was blowing at the time, and it soon became a question of some uncertainty as to what the fate of the Baptist church would be. A vigorous application of water, however, on the sprinkling plan, saved that building. The origin of the fire is still a mystery. Mr. Cross was insured for nearly enough to cover his loss. Mr. w. uuarriBou, a (iruuiimu^ jvuu6 u.v. chant of Pineville, N. C., was married on Thursday to Miss Janie Campbell, of RossWville. The newly married pair, accompanied by Messrs." Robert Garrison, J. W. Potts, and J. J. Morrow, of Pineville, who had comedown with the groom, returned to North Carolina on Thursday afternoon. Major Brown, colored, lay down to take a nap on the railroad track Fviday night, a short distance below the flichmond & Danville depot, and waked up several hours later minus a foot, a passing freight train doing the work. On account of the frequency of fires here of late, an effort has been mr*de to improve the service of the steam fire engine. Hereafter the town mules will be hitched to the engine. Betty Carter, colored, was accidentally shot and killed by her husband, on Mr. J. R. Wilks's place about ten days ago. The accident was caused by the carelesss handling of an old pistol. Alonzo Sample, colored, was arrested several days ago on suspicion of having set fire to R. C. Stewart's warehouse 011 the night of the 4th. A flourislng night school is in progress at the Y. M. C. A. rooms, under charge of Mr. S. B. Lathan.-.* Tuition is free to members of the Association. A number of looms have been placed in the cotton factory during the last few days, and others will arrive soon. The colored County Alliance held a meeting at the Court House on Friday. Their ways were kept dark. Mrs. Elizabeth Hardin, widow of late Henry Hardin, died on the 3rd, aged 82. ^ o ?J M.o T.ntHa R TTInn mr. V* O.

Mr. James Lockhart, who left this county for Southern Alabama in 1845, has been visiting relatives in Chester. Mr. W. D. Richardson has also moved from near Blackstock to the lower part of Fairfield county. Mr. Charles H. Ragsdale has recently removed from this county to Lancaster. Mr. W. A. Barbor was admitted to practice law by the supreme court last week. LETTER FROM UNION. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. Union, S. C., January 13.?After being absent from these columns for a number of weeks, I will try to interest your readers by letting them know what is going on here, and what is to be done in the near future. Three beautiful brick storehouses are to be built here right away, on the block that was burned last January. We are to have a large brick school building, to cost?7,000, which will add greatly to our beautiful town when finished. The Catholics here, although few in numbers, are going to erect a very neat little church. The Baptist and Methodist churches are both to have a great deal of work done on them in a few weeks. Eveiw store in Union is now occupied. The Union Cotton Seed Oil mill is now in full headway, running day and night, and is quite an ornament to our town. Col. R. M. Stokes and wife have gone to Charlotte on a visit to his sons, A. R. and R. ? F.Stokes. Mr. Stokes is now the oldest editor in the State?and I may say, outside?he being 75year8 0f age, and has been at the printing bus1 ? ?? ^TT-v nrnii r\w\r\ /\P fV?r\ fi f nnm_ 111(79 iur U1 JWIO.

We will extend a hearty welcome to any wishing to cast their lot among us. On account of the workmen leaving the Methodist church in a torn up condition, and the members of the Baptist church having granted Mr. Lampley a rest for a few days, the pulpit of the Baptist church was filled by the Rev. W. I. Herbert, the very able ycung minister of the Methodist church, who gave us two excellent sermons. Mrs. B. C. Lampley is lying quite ill at her home. The physicians pronounce her ailment a very bad case of the influenza. Rev. McNeely DuBose has goue to Laurens, where he is to preach several sermons this week. Maj. D. A. Townsend was attacked with la grippe while in Columbia last week. The major was the first person attacked with it in that city. Mrs. James Grant has gone to Charleston on a visit to her husband. w. o. c. LETTER FROMUNION COUNTY. Correspondence of the Yorkvllle Enquirer. Etta Jane, January 13.?Mr. George W. Estes, who, with his family, removed to Washington Territory, six years ago, but who now lives at Potts's station, Arkansas, is on a visit to his old home. In his new home he cast his lot with some of the best families who ever left this State, and especially York county, among whom are the Whitesides, Oates, Henrys and others. Mr. Tillman Husky, of Stir Farm, has a somewhat singular occurrence that takes place at his house between 10 a. m. and 2 p. m., each clear day. It is a veritable shower of rain that falls from a cloudless sky. Similar occurrences have bevn reported in the papers, only to be disDUted bv an incredulous people. This Is a fact, and can be proved by as good people as are in this county. Should this strange phenomenon keep up its work, we may look for a general stampede of the superstitious people from Mr. Husky's neighborhood at least. Rev. R. P. Smith will preach at Salem next Sunday, 19th instant. Mr. C. W. Wbisonant killed a home-raised pig last week that v eighed 430 pounds. Our Township Sunday-school Convention met at Gethsemant yesterday. An unusual interest was manifested, and the leaders in the work resolved to carry the war into the enemy's country, and make the attendance of the children in their respective districts a personal matter with their Godless parents. That proper attention and books should be given each child, and every reasonable effort made to get the non-church going people to come out and bring their children to the Sunday-school, and to take part in its work. Some able speeches were made and the schools did their very besl to make the occasion a success.

LETTER FROM BLACKSTOCK. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. Blackstock, January 13. -Things are beginning to look a little brighter in business circles since the "drummers" have been coming in so thick and fast during the past week. Cotton is still being brought in slowly, and the shipments from this place may be a little better than was expected at one time, though they cannot fail to fall far below those of last year. The Alliance men have been sounding our merchants on the question of giving them some inducements to bring their trade here this year ; but nothing detinite, so far as your correspondent has been able to learn, is fixed upon as yet, Blackstock is centrally located for several Bub-alliances in both Chester and Fairfield, and it would certainly prove advantageous to our town to secure their trade. Emigration agents are busy, throughout this Beetion, at present, and it is reported that seventy-five families of negroes are in readiness to leave Woodward's early this week. Mississippi is the Mecca toward which their pilgrimage is made. Our cornet band has been rather unfortunate of late in losing two members who played the leading cornets. One of these, Mr. W. L. Hicklin, is now in York county, where he will probably teach school, and the other, Mr. Jones McCrorey. has gone to Charlotte, N. C., where he now fills an important position in the office of the Western Union Telegraph company, Our community will miss both of these young gentlemen sadly, but we wish them all success in their respective fields of labor. It will be some time before their places can be filled in the band, but our indefatigable leader, Mr Blain, does not seem to be at all discouraged, and hopes to have things running along smoothly again in the course of a month or two. Mr. John Holly, one of Douglas <fc Co's efficient clerks, has been suffering from an attack of pneumonia for the past week, but is now much better, and is already, we trust, on the fair road for complete and speedy recovery. LETTER FROM GASTONIA. Correspondence of the Yorkvllle Enquirer. Gastonia, N. C., January 13.?Your correspondent has been in Gastonia for several weeks past, and almost each day has vowed to himself to write to The Yorkville Enquirer tomorrow. For various reasons he is about to i . conclude that he is a poor correspondent. i Christmas and New Year have come and gone (of course they, have, for it is now January 13, '90). Xmas was quiet here. If the church bells had rung find the Dallas Fantas1 tics?an improvised minstrelsy for .this special ] 1 occasion from our neighboring hamlet?had not put in an appearance, I veriiy believe our , conscience would have accused us of violating the Sabbath, had we done otherwise than have 1 gone to church and come back and read our 1 Bibles and religious newspapers. As to New ' Year I don't really believe we either told the , . old year good-bye or gave the new one a greet- j ing. This is the quietest town on holidays and ' the busiest on work days, that this scribe ever saw. ii any one oujeoie wj n, uu wa. auuuui we will be obliged to him if he will put his i objection into practice and stay away. < One of the most disappointing surprises your . [ correspondent has encountered here, is the great Air-Line railroad. ? hours to Wasbing1 ton city, ? hours to New York, and so on. ' Well, thought he, "I am on the great trunk 1 line and can feel the pulse beat of the whole country." Imagine his surprise when on feeling the pulse of the country through this "main ' line." You might have heard him musing somewhat thus: The old lady must be very i sick?heart disease, I reckon?no ; why, what's the matter??her pulse is exceedingly irregular. I do believe she has been on a big and long drunk. ("When is the south bound train due, Mr. Agent?" "One forty; but its two J hours behind to-day.") On some of the roads out West the people just go and camp out "till she comes along.1' But for the hotels it would be that way here with our country cousins. Sixteen town lots were sold here on Monday last for a total of J4.711.00. Fourteen lots were ; bought by Mrs. M. J. Adams, (widow of Dr. Robert Adams who died in 1887.) One by Mr. W. C. Williamson and one by Mr. J. H. Craig. * Mr. Earnest Warren, who was run through * Mr. Morrow's cotton gin last fall and so baa- < ly cut and mangled, is still alive, but little or no hopp is now entertained of his recovery. 1 As he made a complete revolution with the f saws, passing between the saws and the brush, ! it is a marvel that he was not instantly killed. But for abscesses of the lungs he would have been well long ago, with the loss of one arm. But I musn't write everything at one time, i If I don't lose my pen or forget it, I'll write , again. s. c. ; Dick Hawes Must Hang.?On Monday last the supreme court of Alabama ' rendered a decision in tne ceieDraiea Hawes case, appealed from the Jefferson criminal court. Hawes murdered his wife and two little girls in Birmingham last ; December a year ago. His crime was the occasion of an assault on the jail of Jeffer- 1 son county by a mob, into which the sheriff 1 fired and killed a number of men, includ- 1 i ng Post master Th rock morton, of Bi r m i ng- i ham. Hawes was tried and convicted of i murder in the *.rst degree and sentenced i to be hanged last July. The case was appealed on a special plea for a change of venue and a new trial. The supreme court affirms the judgment of the criminal court of Jefferson county, and, the date of the criginal sentence having expired, fixes the 28th of February as the date of the execution.

Thorough Cultivation. "Happy the farmer who has learned the lesson that to insure the most profitable yields, J . mother earth must be tickled by thorough cul tivation, and thrice happy he who adopts the i > best method of accomplishing it." That the Corbin Disk Harrow makes thorough culti' vation practical and easy, thousands of successful farmers now testify. Entering on the sixteenth year of accepted superiority, the Corbin is better and more popular than ever, 1 increasing sales North, East, South and West, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, attesting its matchless worth. Your stock of invaluable i tools is incomplete without a Corbin Disk Harrow and there is no better time to buy than 1 now. Sam M.

Henry W. Grady's "Southern Farm." The January number of this excellent farm magazine is just out, and surpasses any issue yet printed. It is eighty pages and contains the last work of the great editor, who was its founder, and has a correct report of his last great speech in which he championed the rights of the South before a Boston audience and elicited the sympathy ot tho whole North in the cause for which he plead so nobly. It also has a sketch of his life, and a handsome steel engrayi"g which, framed, makes a superb picture, as it is a splendid likeness of Mr. Grady. The agricultural interests of the South never had abetter friend than Henry W. Grady. It was his desire from boyhood to own and run a farm paper, and the wonderful success which attended his efforts on the Southern Farm show how sincerely his heart was given to the work. His associates on the Farm are conversant with his ideas and intentions regarding the future of the Farm, and will do their very best to perpetuate the work to which Mr. Grady's life was devoted. In this they will be assisted by the largest and best equipped corps of contributors of any agricultural paper in America. All the old favorites, such as Bill Arp, Mrs. Felton, Uncle Remus and Plunket, will be with them, and scores of special contributors will send letters fresh from the field. Dr. W. L. Jones, the highest salaried agricultural editar in theSoutb, will continue to edit theFARM. His "Inquiry Box" alone is well worth the subscription price several times over. From "Thoughts for the Month" to the very last page, it will be a book which will reflect credit on the memory of the founder. Every Southern r..n.a.

Sold at 25 and 50 cents by May & May. Read This Carefully. The Corbin Harrow is the result of an extensive series of experiments costing much money and time. Its inventor was brought up a practical farmer, and early conceived the idea that the spike-tooth harrow, the shovel-tooth cultivators (reproduced in all spring-tooth harrows) and the mould-board pulverizers, (reproduced in the Acme and Apex Pulverizers) were all essentially wrong in principle, trifling in results, and excessively heavy in draft. He believed that these objectionable features arose: first, from the sliding friction against the soil, that all these forms encounter; and second, because they enter or "take hold" of the soil in the worst possible direction, to lift and pulverize it. Force a spade vertically into the ground and endeavor to lighten the soil by moving it horizontally forward and from you, and you have a fair illustration of how all these three forms operate in practice. One and all do their work by crowding the soil horizontally against the adjacent soil. In strong contrast with these is the Disk. There is absolutely no sliding friction of the soil against it. Its fror t portion is pressed into the soil by the weight of the driver?its thickness being but oneeighth of an inch in thickness, but little power is consumed in this?while its rear side lifts the soil vertically upwards. It requires no argument to convince you that it will require less power to loosen the soil by lifting it vertically upward, than by crowding it sidewise. The Disk is absolutely the only mechanism that will accomplish the former result. The Corbin Harrow gets a "rolling hitch" upon the soil, thereby it operates more powerfully than any other form of pulverizer or harrow possibly cap. Sam M. Grist. k A Child Killed.

It is the implement for which I have been looking ever fince I began farming. For seeding corn or :otton land which has been tolerably well cultivated, no other plow is needed. In my opinion it is the best implement in use for putting ,n peas on stubble. I am confident it will anjwer admirably for covering corn, and it will it the same time give the land a thorough working. It will undoubtedly revolutionize >ur system of farming. Rev. W. S. Johnson, Calhoun, Ga.^" FOR RENT. The b. t. wheeler carriage factory : buildings and lot. Apply to C. E. SPENCER, Executor.
