LETTER FROM CHESTER. Cormpoodence of the Yorkvllle Enquirer. Chester, January 21.?The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Atlantic, Asheville ind Knoxville Railroad company, was held here on Wednesday. The following officers were elected: J. V. Surratt, of Gaffney, president ; A. N. Wood,R. C. Thompson, J. A. Carroll, of Gaffney; J. K. Henry, of Chester ; Dr. 8. M. Wylie, of Hazlewood; and Col. J. R. Culp, of Rossville, directors ; S. B. Lathan, of Chester, secretary and treasurer. The prospects of the road are good. When It is built it will pass two of the finest powers in the South, that at Lockbart's Shoals on the Broad, and that of Catawba Falls on the Catawba. The following trial justices hayo been appointed by Governor Richardson for Chester connty: Chester, W. M. Leckie; Richburg, J. G. Magill; Baton Rouge, A. D. Darby ; Landsford, w. B. Crosby; Halsellville, F. D. Coleman ; Rossville, Abraham Gibson. Mr. E. C. Stahn is rebuilding the burnt stores recently purchased by him from Mr. John Mclver. % Miss Annie Carlisle, of Spartanburg, is visiting her sister, Mrs. T. H. White. Title grip has numbered a gooa many cuuuua of Chester among its victims. Though several cases were right severe, none haye been serious as yet. Mrs. David Hemphill died here on Monday afternoon, after long months of hopeless suffering. A small disturbance, which at one time threatened to develop into quite a row, occurred at Rodman on Saturday. A turbulent negro, whose name has not been learned, was cursing and fussing in Messrs. Rodmans' store, when he was told to keep quiet by some one in the store. He got the more noisy and abusive after being spoken to, and in some way Section-master Parish got interested in the matter. The negro drew bis pistol on Parish and Parish drew his knife, using it right freely on the negro's neck. No harm was done with the shooting iron. The fight threatened to become a general riot for a while, but finally quieted down. When Conductor Lane, of the Georgia, Carolina and Northern road, reached Wax haw yesterday on his way to Chester, a negro woman boarded the train. On being asked for her fare, the woman put her money in her lap, and while making the change managed to drop a five dollar hill. Jeff Gill, colored, was also a passenger on the train, and by skillful work he managed to capture the five dollar note. As soon as the woman discovered her loss, she complained to the conductor, telling him that she suspected Gill. The conductor at once arrested the suspected man and began to search him. The search seemed about to be a fruitless one until finally Captain Lane lifted Jeff's cap, and found the missing money on top of the negro's head. Gill was taken back to Monroe yesterday afternoon, where he will get his just deserts. LETTER PROM UNION COUNTY. Correspondence of ibc Yorkville Enquirer. Etta Jank, January 20?On Monday of last week Jack Petty, a white youth, was accidentally shot in the hand while carelessly handling his gun. Drs. Walker and Ward amputated his hand on Tuesday, and I learn he is doing very well. Parents will have very little trouble filling the land with decrepits while they allow their boys to carry about such old tricky fuzeee. Mr. P. S. Webber, I regret to learn, is quite unwell at his home near Wilkinsville. Mr. Millard Wall, late of Tennessee, but now of Washington Territory, is here on a m * % ?* J ?? bU Lin n /\rvforl Visit. He 18 1I1UCQ Dltjaaeu Wliu mo auvym* home and says they have the finest country in the world. He expects to return about the middle of February. The little colony which emigrated with him to that country six years ago are all well fixed and making a good living. Mr. H. B. Estes, formerly of this county, Is there too and- running a saw mill. He has bought and paid for a plantation upon which be bias built a comfortable cottage. Their lumber is shipped to ail parts of the world for ship building, etc. Rev. R. P. Smith preached at Salem yesterday. This was the beginning of his ministerial work for this year. A good congregation was present. His text was Daniel Hi, 18: "Be it known unto thee, 0 king, that we will not Berve thy go^s, nor worsbip the golden image which thou has set up." The sermon was an eloquent appeal to, and an arraignment of idolaters. The collection taken up for the cause of Snstentation amounted to $3.30, while the Sunday-school raised $2.21 for the Thornwell Orphanage. Winter came in on the gale last Wednesday night. On Tuesday before, a general hog killing took place and the few'cola nights following has allayed all fears as to the meat spoiling. Our farmers are busy turning their stubble lands, preparatory to planting a large cotton crop. The winter of 1889-90 will go into history as one unprecedented for the amount of its good weather. There has scarcely been a day since last August but that the ground was in good plow order. Our aay school started last Tuesday. J. L. Strain is the teacher, with Miss Midred, his daughter, as assistant. Several cases of severe cold are reported among our citizens, some or wmcn are ooraering closely on pneumonia. Week before last Mr. P. S. Webber, of Wilkinsville, had his shop and tools, together with a large amount of work, totally destroyed by fire. The fire was accidental. '- Beyond a doubt there was more hogs raised in this county last year than for any year since the war, and better ones, too. Scarcely a family but bad from one to six to kill. Mrs. Capt. John R. Jefferies, of Star Farm, raised six that weighed in the aggregate 2,002 pounds. With the exception of what corn was given to fatten them, they were fed but very Tittle. They were raised principally upon the slops and waste fruit from the orchard, of which the captain has an endless variety. The stock was Berkshire and Poland China on one side and Jersey Red on the other. siqma. LETTER FROM BLACKSTOCK. Correspondence of the Yorkvllle Enquirer. Blackstock, January 20.?The rise in the price of cotton has been bringing the fleecy staple into our town in considerable quantities during the past week. Our local buyers find no trouble in selling out their lots, as buyers from other points are to be seen on our streets every day or two. There nave been two or three auctions of stock here recently, but the prices brought did not indicate much of a demand for work animals, one mule being sold for six dollars. On last Friday night the work-shop of Mr. J. C. Mackorell was broken into and a number of^valuable tools stolen therefrom. On the same night an attempt was made to enter the store of Mr. R. J. Mackorell by boring through the door. It is supposed that some one passing by caused them to desist from their villainous work. No clew to the robbers can be found as y?M Our community was shocked yesterday morning to hear of the sudden death of Dr. Tom Douglass, which occurred at his home, about seven miles from this place, Saturday night. Dr. Douglass was a prominent physician and was the only surviving brother of Dr. L. S. Douglass, of our town. He was about fifty-one years of age, and leaves a widow and one child. The funeral servicesand interment take place at Woodward's church at eleven o'clock to-day. LETTER FROM FORT MILL. Corretpoodence of tbe Yorkvllle Enquirer. Fort Mill, January 20.?An unoccupied tenement house belonging to Captain Samnel E. White, was burned last night. There is every reason to believe that the fire was of incendiary origin. Our municipal election was held on the 14th instant with the following result: Intendant, R. A. Fulp; wardens, Dr. T. J. Kirkpatrick, T. D. Faulkner, A. A. Young, M. M. Mauney. The Fort Mill graded school opened last Tuesday with 70 pupils. It is under the superintendency of Mr. J. A. Boyd, assisted by Miss Lucy Belk and Miss Etta Ardrey. I think we have an unusually bright outlook for a large school. The Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta railroad is going to give us a new depot. The building will be 75 feet long, and is to have two neatly furnished waiting rooms for the accommodation of passengers. The past year has been a good one for "hog and hominy." The oldest citizen doesn't remember when we raised more corn, and I am satisfied that during no year since the war have we raised more meat. The fall in temperature last week was the signal for a general slaughter, and as some of The Enquirer's correspondents have been sending in such data recently, I give the following from this section for what .. *1_ tf- T? A 1?.tln It 18 worm ? lur. xv? /i. r uip oiau^muuu a hog last Thursday, twenty months old, that weighed 511 pounds. Mr. S. S. Faris slaughtered one weighing 524 pounds. It was two years old. Mr. B. F. Merritt killed a 470 pounder. One raised by Mr. W. M. Warren, eighteen months old, weighed 441 pounds; and one raised by Mr. A. W. Parks, tips the beam at 336 pounds at eleven months old. c. State Sunday School Convention.? Charles H. Carlisle, of Spartanburg, chairman, has issued a call for the meeting of the interdenominational Sunday-school convention of South Carolina, in Columbia, on the 4th of next March, and to remain in session for two or three days. From the circular of Chairman Carlisle we take the following, which will be of interest to those engaged in Sunday-school work: An attractive programme, with speakers representing all sections and denominations of the State, is being prepared and will be announced through the press in a few weeks. Arrangements for special excursion rates wttt be made with the railroads and published in time for the information of all concerned. Chairmen of county conventions are earnestly requested to forthwith confer with delegates elect to said annual State convention and to urge upon them to make their arrangements at once to be in attendance. If any of them cannot or will not attend, let the alternates be urged to go in their places, or substitutes appointed by the county conventions. In the several counties where no regular interdenominational associations are organized, the denominational associations, unions or conferences, are earnestly solicited, through their proper officers, tojauthorize and appoint suitable delegates to represent them in this interdenominational Sunday-school convention. Or, where no organization exists, the pastors and superintendents of individual churches and schools are cordially invited to attend themselves or appoint representatives. Every per- son attending is assured of a warm reception and is promised a profitable occasion. Every county organization, whether denom- n inational or not, is urged to prepare and send up to this meeting full statistics of the numbers, condition and prospects of Sunday- 13 work in their respective counties or districts. I Any facts regarding this great department of a Christ's church in this State will be greatfully received. Gen. Lee's Monument.?The hand- i some granite monument to the memory of a Gen. Robert E. Lee, which has been erect- f, ed in the western part of Richmond, will i be unveiled May 15. The pedestal is to be s surmounted by a handsome equestrian statue of the Confederate chieftain in bronze, by Mercie, the French sculptor. It was thought that this work would be o - *? ??:i: c completed ID lime iur me uuvoiiiu^ tour monies to take place during the term of I office of Governor Fitz Hugh Lee, but de- \ lay in getting the statue ready prevented o this. His successor, though, Governor t McKinney, is doing all in his power to b make the occasion a memorable one in the E history, not only of the city but of the f, South. b The programme for the unveiling cere- c monies has not not yet been arranged, but it is knffwn that one of the features is to ^ be a military parade. It :s expected that military organizations from all sections of _ the South* and maybe many from the North, Hill participate in the great page- I ant. Ex-Governor Lee will, of course, be ]j a prominent figure in the coming event. e The site of the monument is at the head i of Franklin street, the most fashionable q thoroughfare in the city. The locality is ti high and commanding. The monument s can be seen at a great distance in almost _ all directions. The governor has not yet I heard from Mercie, the sculptor, directly, but he understands that the figure is about 0 finished, and will certainly arrive in time ? for unveiling on the date named. Before t] . that time the Monument Association have f( $70,000 to raise, which, it is expected, can be done by collections in the different cit- * ies of the State. i( Death of Ex-Sheriff Dent.?The c death of ex-Sheriff Jesse E. Dent, of Rich- a I land county, is thus reported by the Col- S I umbia correspondent of the News and ti Courier: Ex-Sheriff Jewe E. Dent died at his b home in Columbia at 10 o'clock Sunday v | morning after several years of HI health, fi He was a very old man, having been a born in 1810, and had been known to coun- 8 ty politics for over half a century. He v was sheriff before, during and after the s war, and probably held tbe office twenty t] ! years in all. In 1872 he was elected sher- b iff as a Republican and continued in the d position until 1880, when he was defeated , by the present sheriff, Sam'l W. Rowan, o by only thirty-seven votes. . He was a charitable and kindly man ' and had a great hold upon the people for A many years. The proof of this was given * " -? ""i 1 nuunn.k w in me election 01 ioou, wueu, munmgu no ran as a Republican against a popular 1 Democratic nominee, he barely missed ? election, many Democrats voting for him. E For the last ten years Mr. Dent has lived si in extreme poverty. " it ? A writer in the Florence Times recom- t] mends for governor Col. James A. Hoyt, fi of Greenville, and says: "Col. Hoyt is a E gentleman of broad views, a noble son of t] Carolina who has served his State in war as well as in peace, has ever been identified with her welfare and progress, and has all the natural talents that commend ? him for the position. He would fill the gubernatorial chair with credit to the State, and it is hoped he can be induced to n accept the honor, which would be worn v no more worthily and be filled with more A dignity by any of the many favored ui sons of our fair Carolina. Col. Hoyt's election is already assured if he will give _ his consent to be the next governor of South Carolina. ? On last Friday night, Sam Williams, a negro living near Stateburg, in Sumter county, was shot and killed by Sheriff . Carson. With a pistol in his hand Williams was resisting arrest, and the sheriff c fearing his own life was in danger, fired, ri killing the negro almost instantly.

What a Preacher Says About It. c I have never seen anything to equal the work of the Corbin Disk Harrow. It 1b the -i implement for which I have been looking ever J since I began farming. For seeding corn or t cotton land which has been tolerably well cul- e tivated, no other plow is needed. In my opin- j ion it is the best implement in use for putting c in peas on stubble. I am confident it will an- j swer admirably for covering corn, and it will c ; at the same time give the land a thorough 1 | working. It will undoubtedly revolutionize 8 our system of farming. Rev. W. S. Johnson, Calhoun,'Ga. jipnial |j(oti?s. It Surprised Him. I used the Corbin Harrow last year. Hav lever seen or used a harrow that wouh nellow up the soil and work in the ma lure equal to it.
