LETTER FROM CHESTER. 1 a< Correspondence of the Yorkvllle Enquirer. CI Chester, February 18.?The most horrible n murder that ever blotted the record of Chester county's history was committed in the southwestern part of town on Saturday night. A few minutes after seven o'clock, on that night, Mr. John Hood, the aged father of Sheriff W. ? H. Hood, left the sheriff's home at the jail, tl leaving the impression there that he was going t' to the house of another son, Mr. I. Mel). Hood, s< Jr., who lives just across the street. The old jj gentleman, who was soon to complete his 78th ^ year, though remarkably stout and active for ? his age, was accustomed to spend his time first ? with one son and then with another, and each D retired to his rest that night with no other ft thought but that the father was safe in the other's home. A few moments after he left the jail, Mr. Hood was met on Pinckney street, with his c lighted pipe in his mouth ; between eight and nine o'clock that same night two reports of a gun were heard on Henry street, a short dis- x tance east of Pinckney ; between seven and Cl eight next morning a colored man, Mose Ben- ^ son, found Mr. Hood's corpse, riddled with e shot from head to foot and cold and stiff in V death, lying face downward in a ditch nea<-^ where the mysterious shots had been heard. C( The staggering news of the ghastly discovery . soon spread over the town, far and wide. The s. dead body was tenderly borne to the sheriff's J home, while the officers of the law began to >< beat about in search of a clue to the murderer. Near where the body was found, there lives a a colored woman, Becky Brown, who about two q months ago left her husband, Green Brown. The latter had been trying to get his wife to . - - i i.:? r ]( COEDS DOCK WU 111111 iui auuio uuin, mm nK wrooght up to a terrible pitch of jealousy on b account of the attention shown the woman by n one or two other negroes. Brown.it is said, ft threatened to kill bis rivals, and had been C lying in wait for them in the neighborhood & more than once. On the night in question, Brown was seen in thatsection, one report says, ?. with a shot gun in his hands. From the evi- *> dence taken at the inquest Sunday the inference is irresistible that Brown had been look- b ing for his rivals Saturday night, and mistak- q{ ing Mr. Hood for one of them in the darkness, g) had shot him to death in a fit of mad jealousy. ? Shortly after the arrest of Brown the lynching question began to be discussed as a likely result. Sheriff Hood at once telegraphed >? Gov. Richardson, informing him of the situa- g tion. The governor telegraphed back to send vt the prisoner to Columbia at once, also ordering ]y the military company here to respond to any C( call that might be made upon it by the sheriff. The reports in the daily papers on Monday, Cl however, exaggerated the lynching matter no 8 little, although it is not unlikely that Brown's b condition would have been an uncomfortable ft one if he had been kept in Chester over night, a The coroner's jury of inquest worked at the {] case nearly all day Sunday, completing their labors about sundown with a verdict against Brown. The body of the aged victim was a buried at Pleasant Grove Presbyterian church C, on Monday, near which church Mr. Hood's long life had all been spent, and of which he b was a member. His family is widely connect- c ed and well-known, and a large concourse of _ citizens assembled yesterday, both from town and couutry, to attend the last sad rites. _ ? Bob McCreary, colored, who lives in the X lower part of the county, met with a severe ll loss on Thursday. A negro boy, John Glenn \ by name, was working for Bob, and happening to know that his employer had some cash in g his coat pocket, stole the money, ?120, while the coat was hanging on the fence near wnere Bob was at work, and started toward North Carolina, the Canada of all colored embezzlers ? in this part of the world. Old Bob is a miser, tl and the loss of the money went hard with him. c He offered $20 reward for Glenn's capture, and a Mr. Hoon Hafoer got on track of the thief, r running him down yesterday near the North r Carolina line, but not until the money had been spent, all save about $10. The prisoner Sl was brought here to-day and lodged in jail. George Wylie, colored, had one of his hands h terribly mashed while coupling cars at the tl Richmond and Danville depot one day last jy week, the injury being bo severe that the " greater part of the hand nad to be amputated. Wylie was not an employee of the road, but, it is said, had been working his way from o Charlotte to Chester. A Mr. Joel Simril has secured the contract for a repairing and enlarging the Presbyterian ]y church at this place. These changes will be made with the bequest to the church made by h the late Robert Douglas, and will consist of extensive improvements, including the erection of one tall spire and a smaller tower, the two to be at the front end of the building. The design for the improved building is a very handsome one, indeed, and will make the a church as imposing as a majority of the city o: churches. - 0 Mr. J. L. Yopp, of Washington, Ga., and i? Miss Ada C. Rowe were married here on the 12 th instant. P In connection with the school-house question, some nervously disposed citizens have re- SI centlv been agitating the question as to wheth- p er the present graded school building is not in ti danger of falling down before the new one v is erected. To settle this question, School rv Commissioner Knox, together with Hon. Giles J. Patterson and the Rev. George Suminey from the local school board, and Mr. Joel Sim- P ril, went arouud one day last week and carefully inspected the building inside and out, up q among the rafters and everv where else. The ^ decision reached was that the scare about the a stability of the old building is all moonshine. It is eminently unfitted for the purposes of a large graded school, but there is no evidence . to show thai it is a possible slaughter pen for n the innocents. f( Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Robison buried au in- a fant son yesterday, aged about two weeks. a Mr. wr A. Barber left last week for a trip of u several weeks' duration to Texas and the southwest. The new Methodist church at Richburg was s dedicated on the 9th instant, by the Rev. W. 0 D. Kirkland, editor of the Southern Christian a Advocate. 0 LETTER FROM *UN10N COUNTY. Correspondence or the Yorkvllle Enquirer. Etta Jane, February 17.?Several cas- ? es of la grippe are reported in our county * just now, but some people say it is a town ^ disease.

When our people quit de- e pending on unfaithful hirelings to kill p time, which the best of them do, more or c, les3, our country will begin to prosper, p but not till then. If some of the hands we tl know of were compelled to bury all the ti time they kill, the spade would never be out of their hands. fj From all appearances the insects are do- p ing much damage to the small grain crops. ? In many places they seem to be complete- i< ly ruined. What the outcome will be e when the spring sets in fairly we cannot s! yet tell. H Some persons who own mineral lands p in this county are negotiating with mining a companies with a view of making sales p of their lauds, and I learn some sales have ji already been made. Rev. R.

V Craigsville, February 17.?Last Fri- i day was St. Valentine's day, but the tra- b ditionary mating of birds is not observa- r ble as yet. It may be that the venerable h saint will not do much this season, as the weather has not been cold enough to o remind him of his annual duties. The fl oldest citizen fails to recall to mind such a v {>henomenal winter as this has been. A v ittle rain has fallen lately, but scarcely a enough to muddy creeks, though plowing c was somewhat retarded. There has been more farm work up to date than for many years. Labor seems " to have settled to its business more prompt- ? ly than usual; and, with propitious sea- ? sons, we may expect good crops. They ^ are sadly needed, for the record shows not ? more than a third of a crop of cotton during the past season; and so small a pro- ? duction cannot possibly meet necessary J; expenses, which are as heavy in cultiva-' 5 tion of a short crop a3 of a full one. How- j ever, our farmers have gone to work in j ? f ho? r lrtCQDti I cm ucoif UC/IV71 UI1UCU UV/ ICH it ? V w4i v? * m ivwvw , as far as possible. j ? The small grain, of which a goodly area I . has been sown, is suffering from attacks of an insect. Some say it is the Hessian fly; _ others claim that it is not that insect, but some other kind of a fly. Whatever it is, it destroys the grain, and it matters not ti by what name it is known. ; u A fair amount of pork was1 raised by ? a part of our community, but some of it, a was lost by reason of the unfavorable p weather; some of the hogs reached fancy i w figures on the scales. One of our young men has a pair of red n Jersey shotes, which receive such atten- C tion that they sometimes follow him from b home. Some of the boys say he has ? trained them to it so that he can show the si girls what a fine prospect he has for another p year's provisions. si "La grippe" has made its appearance on h this side the river and several persons I have suffered its embrace. It is also ? thought by some to have attacked cattle, si 3 numbers of them are diseased and some lives have died without a successful diag- r osis being had of their disease. ? Three colored people have lately re- I jrned to this section from Liberia. Two i f the family are still there. Friends < lade up money for the return of these 1 tiree, and they now wish to get the other * ivo back. They say they never want to se Liberia again.

We hear ? f no serious complaint as to scarcity of ( ibor, however, as there seems to be a , lenty left still. ? The circus which was billed for Black- " :ock, as mentioned in my last letter, did utinits appearance on time, and gave vo performances which were pronounced i ery creditable by some who attended. < 'he attendance though, was rather slim, i nd it is doubtful whether they paid ex- i enses or not at this point. i Our streets on last Saturday presented $ uite a business-like appearance, several ragons coming in loaded with cotton, and number of others going away loaded rith fertilizers. A concert ana oyster supper was given 1 i the academy building last Friday night i >r the benefit of the cornet band. Quite . nice little sum wa9 realized thereby, s nd the band, which has been working f nder considerable difficulty since three < f its members moved away from Blacktock several weeks ago, will soon be rerganized with several new members, nd hopes ere long to be quite a credit to ur town. One of the many pleasant features of the ] vening's entertainment was the awarding f a beautiful cake to the most popular oung lady in the house, the question of , opularity to be decided by ballot, each , ote to cost five cents.

Rum and Education.?In the United tates senate last Monday Mr. Dawes preented more than 240 petitions from Masachusetts, saying that over 800,000 gallons f intoxicating liquor are annually exportd from the United States to Africa, and raying that under that section of the [institution,, which authorizes congress to egulate commerce with foreign nations, his traffic should be stopped. The peti- 1 ions were referred. Mr. Chandler presented several petitions rom Mississippi complaining of the supression of the Republican vote in that tate, and representing that the so-called jgislature of Mississippi, had recently nacted a law for establishing a new contitution for the State on August 12th, 890, the same not to be submitted to the eople for ratification, and that it was the j vowed purpose of the Democrats to era- j loy fraudulent methods to deprive many , atelligent citizens of their franchises. At 2 o'clock the educational bill was ( aken up and Mr. Blair addressed the sen- ( te for three hours. He said the bill would , ompensate the South in some measure for he passage of the dependent pension bill ow threatening, which would distribute 20,000,000 to $30,000,000 almost exclusively in the Northern States. < Dodging the Taxes.?Col.

This number ncludes not only lands which have never ?een returned, but land? which have been , eturned at some time and have been with- , leld at the last returns. Col.

I have owned a 16-inch Corhin Disk Hah row for the past four years and have put it t< every possible test and it has given entire sat isfaction in every instance. I had long l'elt th need of a harrow that would pulverize the soi thoroughly from four to six inches deep, am realized that this could not bo done by an] drag or tooth harrow, for they only pulverizi the surface, leaving many clods or lumps un touched, and these clods would be worked t< the surface in cultivating the crop; and al intelligent farmers know that cloddy laud doei uot give the best results. Ilence the great im portance of a harrow that will pulverize tin mil as dftflt) as the dIow iroes. Mv harrow wil thoroughly pulverize to a depth of seven inches I want nothing better in stalk land in puttinj in wheat or oats than the Corbin Harrow, fo it not only does better work than the plow, bu is so much faster, cutting six feet at a time, ant all farmers know the importance of savin; time at the season when these crops are usually sown. I venture the assertion that no farme who owns a Corbin Harrow would be withou it for twice its cost. Two great advantages thii harrow possesses over most improved fariniiij implements is its simplicity and durability Any sleepy-headed free negro can operate it i ho has sense enough to drive a wagon. I havi prepared stubble land for planting, where thor was no rocks or stumps, with my Harrow, b^ harrowing it twice, crossing the first work wit! the last, as well or better than I have ever don with a plow.

OUR FINE CLOTHING And Heavy Dry Good* are Being: Din* posed ol' with very Little Profit. THERE are few people who come to our store who do not Ret just what they come for and at a price that is always satisfactory to them. It cannot be that they have tried no other store, for these days the entire "market is looked." We do not represent to the world that we can buy goods cheaper than our neighbors, but we do say that "we will meet anybody's prices, under any and all circumstances where quality is to be a competing factor." We do not buy more goods than our trade requires. Even now, while the season is far advanced and we only have a few suits of TTinA fUnthna nnH Ovorcnats on hand wa arA not prepared to sell them at half their value, for we know that no customer that stands before our counters expects such generosity on our part or on the part of others. We, however, must say that if you, or any of your friends, want a suit of good Clothes, one that will prove to be, in the long run, the cheapest and best suit you ever wore, "You can go to the Bazaar" and get it, without paying but the least imaginable profit. If vou have never bought a suit of stylish, well-made, well-fitting Clothes from "The Bazaar," you don't know what advantages you have lost. We are The Recognized Leaders IN GENTS' FINE CLOTHING in this section of South Carolina, having sold during the past five years many suits of Clothing to drummers, who not only travel from the city from where we buy goods, but who visit large cities in every section of the country. They say that we handle the best line of goods and sell them for less profit than any place that thev know of. If this be true, (and who will doubt it when these "knights of the grip sack" continue season after season to buy their Clothing of us,) what better, what stronger, more convincing tesimony would you wantof our ability to conduct an economical business where merchandise can be bought at uniformly low prices without regard to the prices quoted by our neighbors ? Fine Dress Goods. In this branch of our business, we are perfectly willing to leave the verdict with the ladies. We always carry a good line and it is one of our favorite departments. Shoe Department. In this department of our business we never strive to see how cheap we can buy our Shoes at the expense of the quality, but we make every effort that our experience will admit of to get the best quality for the least money, in order that we may conscientiously recommend our goods to our customers, at the same time feeling satisfied that they are getting full value for their money. "C-h-e-a-p" is a word of several constructions, while it really means a bargain. And the exchange of a gold dollar for ninety cents in silver might be considered a bargain, though you don't find bargains in that line to any considerable extent. You often find merchants who offer Plaids at 4cents, 5 cents and 6 per yard in order to create the impression that their entire stock is to be sold at proportionately low prices. But you seldom find one who keeps up a stock at that figure. He gets out, 'cusses' the railroad and postoffice officials and factory people for inefficiency and laughs down his sleeves at the cute trick he has perpetrated. Well to get back to Shoes, we simply sav that wo carry the best quality of Gents', Ladies' and Children's Shoes that can be found in this market, and an inspection of our stock will soon convince you that they are worth all they are marked. The "New Home" SEWING MACHINE can be found at my store. I keen three styles, all of which are first-class ana fully warranted. I have a few second hand machines of other makes that I would be pleased to sell. COOKING STOVES. I haye the Agency for one of the best stove manufacturers in the world, and I will say to responsible parties who need something in thia lino that. It. will he to their interest to call and see me before they buy elsewhere. Pay Up ! Pay Up ! ! Pay Up !! 5 If you owe me anything you know what you should do. Pay it.. It is past due and I need the monev. Prompt payment is essential tc a good credit. W. C. LATIMER. ????????MB? THE CAROLINA BUGGY CO., YORKVILLE. 8. C.
