LETTER FROM CHESTER. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. Chester May 20.?After soino ilolay a post office has at last been established at Wost Chester. Mr. J. R. McCollum is the postmaster. Some woeks ago, Mr. E. C. Stahn, the jeweler, sold W. II. Sutton a twenty-live dollar watch on the installment plan. Sutton paid one installment and then left town, carrying the watch, on which Mr. Stahn had a mortgage, with him. Constable Wash Estes was sent on track of him and captured Sutton at Greenville. Ruck Williams and Henry Nelson, both black, got into some little trouble on their way home from town one night recently, and the former shot the latter in the arm. A tenant house, occupied by two white women, was burned on Thos. "Brennan's place several days ago. Major J. K. Marshall attended the recent meeting at Atlanta of tho Ancient Order of United Workmen. Capt. Jno. W. Carlisle, of Spartanburg, was in town one day last week. Capt. Carlisle came down to bring his daughter, Mrs. C. P. Wofford, and her little son, returning himself tho next day. Mrs. Wofford, accompanied by Mrs. T. H. White, left for Spartanburg yesterday. Mary Blake, a one year old child of Mr. J. A. Blake, was severely scalded several days ago by a careless servant who overturned* a boiling teapot on the child's feet. LETTER FROM GAST0N1A. r?f>rr?>?noni]ence of the Yorkville Enquirer. Gastonia, N. C.f May 20.?Since our "big meeting," the people have all been on their good behavior, and as a consequenco your corresE indent is cut short in point "of "locals." ven those dreadful "boys" have cut only one well rope, and they were so heartily ashamed of it that they came up like "little men," confessed and bought a new one. One noticeable result of the Fife meeting is the increased attendance on the Y. M. C. A. At the meeting last Sunday evening there were between 150 and 200 present, while before, frequently there were not a dozen. A Rible reading on Faith was given by Mr. M. C. Arrowwood. Mr. Hugh W. Harris, a prominent young lawyer, of Charlotte, has been secured as orator, and the closing exercises of the Gastonia High school will take place Wednesday, May 28th. The party that I mentioned in my last as going from Catawba county to prospect in Texas, passed on their return yesterday evening. They are delighted, and I "fear they may take Horace Greeley's advice and "go West." Dr. C. E. Adams met with a right painful accident about two weeks ago. His horse took fright at a barrel used for rolling cotton seed, ran off and overturned the buggy. His face was very much bruised and his left shoulder partly dislocated. He is able to attend his professional duties though he cannot use his arm with comfort yet. Rev. Mcllwain "has boen quite unwell for several days, and though he is bettor, was unable to preach last Sabbath. His pulpit was filled by-a Rev. Mr. Johnston, son of Rev. Dr. Johnson, president of Riddlo (col.) University, Charlotte. N. C. Mr. Johnston has just completed his theological course and is spending a short while with his father's family beforegoingna amissionarv to India. Capt. Holland, of Dallas, had his company, the Dallas Rilles, on dress parade in our town last Saturday. They aro a fine looking set of young men and reflected much credit on their drill-master, Capt. Holland. Tho Gastonia brass band furnished the music for the occasion. Mrh. Dr. William Prcssly, of Duo West, passed through town yesterday on her return from visiting her son," Dr. Pressly, of Clover. Mr. Righam, editor of tho Gazette, and his littlo daughter, Nellie, roturnod yesterday from Rlackstock, whore they were visiting relativos. * iirkt. LETTER FROM RLACKSTOCK. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. Rlackstock, May 19.?Every tiling is still favorable in farming conditions and our agricultural friends all seem to bo working with a will. Rev. J. M.

Mrs. Girardeau, who has been staying with relatives in this place, for a week or two, left on Saturday, for her old homo in Winnsboro, whore she will spend some time, before returning to Columbia. Mr. R. E. Brown and family paid a tlying visit to Columbia last Friday. During tho day and night he was absent, his place in the depot was filled by Mr. White, a young telegraph operator from" Wiunsboro. Mr. Arthur E. Cornwell has returned home, his school sossion having closod on tho 17th. Mr. Fitz Cornwell, of the Chester and Lenoir railroad, came homo for a short visit on Saturday. LETTER FRuVuNIOX COUNTY. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. Etta Jane, May 19.?We have had iinesoaaons for work during the last few days, and farmers have generally taken advantago of it. It is safe to say that farm work in this county is fully throo weeks or a month in advance of what it was this time last year. Wheat, though, will be almost a failure, it having rust. Oats are pretty good, especially the early sowing. Several cases of flux are reported in our vicinity. It is of a severe typo, and it is a difficult thing to meet a man or woman who hasn't something to complain of. Since tho grip was among us it seems to bo fashionablo for people to all nave something of which to complain. Mrs. Mamio Bullock died last night, ller disease was consumptiou. Rev. R. P. Smith preached at Salem last rsauiruay ana yesieruav, tmni^ nunu iuo sacrament of the Lord's Suppor was celebrated by and in the presence of a large congregation. The subject of the discourse immediately preceding tho communion service was "lloavenlv recognition," front the text: Matt, xvii, 4?r'It is good for us to be here." Two new members were received into tho church. SIGMA. LETTER FROM LOWRYSVILLE. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. LowRYSvmtiE, May 19.?We are now having most delightful farming weather. It could not bo improved on if made to order. The stnnds of cotton wore never bettor, nor did tho plant ever look bettor at this season of tho year. Tho wheat crop is almost a complete failure. The fall oats aro only medium. The spring sown promiso a better yield at this time. Tho condition of Mr. W. X. fJuy is still very critical. It is now confidently believed by tho attending physicians that the stump of tho amputated leg will recover, but tho disease has attacked the other foot, which is now in almost as bad condition as tho other when amputated. It is feared he could not survive the amputation of it also. I suppose a decision will bo arrived at in a day or two as to tho course to be pursued in tho case. w. o. a. STATE POLITICAL POINTS. ? It is reported that W. 1). Crum will be a Republican candidate for congress in the first district. ? Col. Eugene B. Gary, of Abbeville, lias come out as a candidate for attorney-general on the Tillman platform. ? Dr. A. S. Ilydrick announces himself as a candidate for senatorial honors from (>rangeburg county. ? According to the Barnwell Sentinel, the people of that county want a primary, from governor down to coroner. ? Senator Hampton authorizes the statement that he has no connection whatever with the "Twenty-one" convention, which held its second meeting in Columbia yesterday. ? A. P. Butler, State commissioner of agriculture, has written an open letter to Capt. Tillman, contradicting the Captain's statements in regard to the business of his ofticc, and showing conclusively that in the matter of fertilizers he has used all the means at his command to protect the farmers, and they have been protected. ? J. J. Dargan, of Sumter county, gives notice that he will be at Anderson on the 18th of June, the date for the county meeting appointed by the State executive committee, and will then reply to certain statements regarding him, made by Captain Tillman in his speech at Anderson on the 10th instant. ? E. jtf. Brayton, having failed to secure a place at the government crib under the r?r<>?ont administration, has chanered his tactics and now proposes to seek vindica-1 tion at the hands of the voters of the Seventh district. It is said that he proposes to run for Congress as an anti-administration candidate. ? A call has been issued by Fred Nix, Republican chairman of the Second congressional district, calling for delegates to meet in conventional Aiken, on June 20, for the purpose of nominating a candi-! date for congress in that district. Circu- j lars will be out in a few days to that effect j and be scattered broadcast over the! land. Relevan Yates, of Aiken, may be | the nominee. ? It. T. Mockbee, of Chester county, and j a member of the legislature, has written a j letter to the News and Courier, replying | to some of Capt. Tillman's charges, and j defending his vote on the general railroad ; law. Concluding h?s letter, Mr. Mockbee says: "Let me say that the Farmers' movement has my heartiest support and : Mr. Tillman my sympathy until his groundless charges of corruption and ex-! travagance against our chosen Democratic ! officials and leaders, and his egotistical laudation of himself, capped finally by having a committee appointed by a farmers'convention, of which he was made chairman, to attend upon the sessions of the legislature of South Carolina to bulldoze, "bamboozle or debauch" its members into voting for such measures as he and his henchmen had agreed upon." SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS. ? A Young Men's Christian association has been organized at Lancaster. ? The colored people of Spartanburg are endeavoring to get up a State Fair association. ? Orangeburg county claims to have the largest lodge of Knights of Honor in the State outside of Charleston. ? The State Dental association concluded its labors in Charleston Thursday. Anderson was selected as the place for the next annual meeting. ? Ben Lindsay, a well-digger, cleaned out a well recently, at Newberry, and found a bucket of butter that had been at the bottom of the well for seven years. ? It is thought that the call which has been extended to Rev. W. R. Briscoe, of Dayton, Tenn., to take charge of the Baptist churches at Winnsboro and Ridgeway will be accepted. am/Minf rtf fhr? shnrfncp nf ? JLI1U IUICV1 (I1UVUUV v? V n Aiken's county treasurer, Murray, has been ascertained by official investigation to be ?16,376.17, of which ?10,000 has been secured by Murray and the remainder will be paid by his bondsmen. ? A severe hail storm occurred in the upper part of Anderson county last Wednesday night. Hail beat through the roofs of houses and the growing cotton and corn were beaten out of existence. The farmers will have all their crop to plant over. The track of the storm was about half a mile wide. ? During the period from the 9th to the 11th of the month, raiding Deputy Ensor succeeded in capturing and destroying five illicit stills in the Hogback and Glassy mountain sections of Greenville county. In two cases he tried the efficacy of dynamite cartridges as a means of destroying stills, and those particular stills will never gurgle with mountain dew again. ? A most commendable action of the Farmers' alliance is reported from Lancaster county. One of their neighbors had been unable to plant his crop on account of sickness in his family, and the members of the alliance assembled in full force and planted his crop for him. A similar report also comes from Pickens county, but it is not stated to be an alliance action in the last instance. ? Columbia is looking after the matter of utilizing her canal, now almost finished. It will require, it seems, about ?30,000 in addition to the ?200,000 derived from the sale of bonds, to complete the work. Col. Pearce has submitted a scheme by which he hopes to induce English capitalists to put from ?2,000,000 to ?5,000,000 in the work. The trustees have not yet taken final action. ? Governor Richardson has commuted to imprisonment for life in the penitentiary the sentence of Clinton P. Jackson, convicted at the June, 1889, term of court for Marion county, of the murder of W. H. Brooks, both white men, and sentenced by Judge Norton to be hunged August 30, 1SS9. An appeal was made to the supremo court, but the decision of the lower court was sustained and Jackson was re-sentenced to be hanged on the 23d instant. ? Pierce G. Taylor and F. Calhoun Caughman, two of the men implicated in the lynching of Willie Leaphart, in the Lex ington jail, on tne nigntoi me-iin instant, appeared before Judge Kershaw, at Camden, last Saturday, on a petition for bail. Judge Kershaw allowed bail for Taylor in the sura of$o,000,and denied bail toCaughinan. The reason Taylor got bail was because of a conflict in the evidence as to whether he was in the jail the night of the lynching, or that he was not in the jail. Miller, the deputy marshal of affidavit fame, was also granted bail in a bond of $1,000, and he is to remain in Richland jail until his bond is signed aud approved. The "Twenty-one" Conference.? The Anti-Tl'lman conference re-assembled in Columbia yesterday. From the correspondence of the News and Courier we take the following as the outlook on Monday night of the proceedings of the conference: The conference will assemble to consider the situation as the State Democratic committee left it, and take such action as shall be deemed proper aud advisable. It is expected that the number present at this conference will be much larger than at the first one, for nearly all the counties will be represented and some of them will have more than one conferee present. The conference is expected to take positive action of some sort to the end that the Anti-Tillman movement may be concentrated and focussed on a definite policy, but of course until all the members arrive and consult it cannot be known just what they will do. A dozen members were on the ground this evening, and had an informal discussion of the situation in the sitting room of the Hotel Jerome. The sentiment expressed was in favor of making the tight strictly within the party lines of the Democratic organization without resort to Tillman methods. There were present at to-night's preliminary talk the following gentlemen: W. 1). Sullivan, Laurens; Claude E. Sawyer, Aiken ; J. W. Stribling, Spartanburg; L. W. Youmans, Barnwell; Iredell Jones, York; Edwin Harper, Williamsburg; A. W. Cushman, Aiken; Thos. W. Woodward, Fairfield; W. tf. Hinson, Charleston ; L. E. Campbell, Anderson ; II. T. Mockbee, Chester. The discussion lasted until about midnight. It was fully decided that a convention will not be called. Not one of the conferees was in favor of imitating Tillman to that extent. As to the best method of uuiting on a candidate there were various views. One was that the conferees should individually invito one certain candidate to announce himself and assure him of support. Another was that the conferees should have requests preseuted to him from their several counties. Some action like this may be expected. The sentiment of the conferees now here is that no account shall bo taken of the profession of a candidate in uniting upon him, the questions being his fitness and strength. The current of favor sets strongly towards Col. Jas. L. Orr, of Greenville. The feeling in his favor grows, and it is believed that although not now a candidate he will not refuse to become one if the call is one of duty. A Paradise for Negroes.?In a recent letter, Henry M. Stanley, the African explorer, writes: "There is space enough in the Upper Congo basin to locate double the number of the negroes of the United States without disturbing a single tribe of the aborigines now inhabiting it. I refer to the imniPiKn ITnnnr f'nmm fnrnut r?rmr>fi-\T 050,000 square miles in extent, which is three times larger than the Argentine liepublic and one and a half times larger than the entire German Kmpire, embracing 224,000,000 acres of umbrageous forest land, wherein every unit of the 7,000,000 negroes might become the owner of nearly a quarter-square mile of land. Five acres of this planted with bananas and plantains would furnish every soul with sufficient subsistence?food and wine. The remaining twenty-seven acres of his estate would furnish him with timber, rubber, gums, dyestuffs for sale. There are 150 days of rain throughout the year. There is a clear stream every few hundred yards. In a day's journey we have crossed as many as thirty-two streams. The climate is healthy and equable, owing to the impervious forest, which protects the lands from chilly winds and draughts. All my white officers passed through the wide area safely. Eight navigable rivers course through it. Hills and ridges diversify the scenery and give magnificent prospects. To those negroes in the South accustomed to Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana it would be a reminder of their own plantations, without the swamps and the depressing influence of cypress forests. Anything and everything might be grown on it from the oranges, guavas, sugar cane and cotton of sub-tropical lauds, to the wheat of California and rice of youth Carolina. If the emigration was prudently conceived and j carried out the glowing accounts sent I home by the first settlers would soon dis- j sipate all fear and reluctance on the part of the others." Alakama Politics.?A Montgomery i letter of recent date gives the f ..owing as ' the political situation in Alabama : The political outlook in Alabama gives : promise of a stormy fight when the i)ein-' ocratic State convention meets, May 27.1 The .State officers to be elected are govern- j or, secretary of State, attorney general and superintendent of education. Tho tug of j war is on the governorship. There are five candidates in the race for the Democratic nomination, as follows: Col. Thomas G. Jones, of Montgomery ; Judge William Richardson, of Huntsville; Capt. Joseph F. Johnson, of Birmingham; James Crooke, of Jacksonville, and It. F. Kolb, of Fufaula. More than half the counties in the State have held conventions and selected delegates to the State convention, and Kolb has more votes instructed for him than any two of the other candidates combined. Kolb is the recognized candidate of the Farmers' alliance. His character and past record, public and private, have been attacked and shown up in an ugly light, but he holds the support of the alliance as a body in spite of the war waged on him. It is not probable that" he will secure the nomination, as the opposition will be solid and bitter, but the alliance delegates will stand by him to the last. It is very generally believed that Kolb will run independent of the action of the convention in case he is defeated, and it begins to look as if the alliance and the Bourbon Democracy will come down to a hand-to-hand fight before the campaign is over. The alliance in this State is now nearly a hundred thousand strong, and it Miof )ho r>roconf nnlitipnl firrht I lO lUdlCU IUU l iliv vuvu V ^rvaawavM* will result in discord in the Democratic ranks. It is openly charged in this State that the alliance movement is a deep laid Republican scheme to break up the solid white vote of the South. The State Republican convention will meet June G. The leaders of the Republican party say that they will not put up a candidate for governor, but will have a candidate for congress in every Alabama district, and expect to win the fight on that line. Kolb, the alliance candidate for governernor, is backed by the Knights of Labor and other labor organizations besides the alliance, and it will require a hard fight to beat him.

Sound Business Methods. Twenty j'ears ago Luudkn it Baths, of Savannah, (in., whoafe proprietors of the largest and most successful Music House in tho South, adopted the following "Business Methods" as the governing principles of their House. They seemed to them to bo "Sound," and their groat success clearly demonstrates the fact: "One price to all, and that tho lowest known." "The One Price System aflords full protection to all buyers." "The price tells, and everybody tolls the price." "Tho poor man's dollar is as good as tho millionaire's." "A pleased purchaser is a friend gained for lifo." "Square trade always; W l't. to tho yard; 1(? oz. to the pound ; our word our bond." "No misrepresentation in quality or value, of our own, or our competitors' instruments." "The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth." "Satisliod purchasers and reliable instruments our strongest advertisements." "Full satisfaction guaranteed. No one askod to keep an instrument that does not suit." "Tho best instruments aro always cheapest, but our cheapest aro good." "Every instrument sold must bo a standing advertisement." "Wo aim to bo like our instruments : Brand, Square and Upright." "Equal courtesy to all, without regard to ago, color, condition, sector creed." "Best instruments at lowest possible pricos." May 21 21 tf Food for Thought. Thoro should be a JIuckkyk Moweii on every farm, whero any amount ol" hay is to bo cut. It will cut clover, crab grass, pea-vines or ragweeds, and will pay a handsome per cent, on its cost each year, if given a chaneo, and will last a lifetime. Machines are doing good work to-day that have been in constant uso since 1X57?a third of a century. No other Machine has a record that will compare with this. The following are some of the reasons why the Hl'ckkyu should bo on every well regulated farm: It never tells its owner that it has promised to mow for a neighbor, and can't do his work at the timo desired. It never strikes for higher wages; only asks to receive proper care. Never asks for half tho hay to lie cut. Always cuts every blade of grass, whether it lie six inches or three feet high, whether it has been blown down and entangled or stands naturally, and cuts nearer the ground than either a scythe or any other mowing machine. Can be driven on the road as easily as a wagon. Look into its merits, it will pay you. Sam M. (Jiust, Solo Agent. The Itiiekoyo Light .Honor. This world-famed machine has been a standard articlo of farm machinery for over a third of a century. During this time mowers have been built with nearly every conceivable form of gearing. Competing manufacturers have radically changed the construction of their machines from year to year, because thev were forced to get something different from last year's machine. Tho lircK kyk alone has remained for thirty-three years unchanged in tho essential features of its mechanism, for tho reason that, being based on correct mechanical principles, it has required no change. It is tho most perfect machine ever given to the | world. Illustrated catalogue and prices furnished on application. Sample machine now on exhibition. Sam M. Guist, Nolo Agent.

If you want nieo Ilosery, go to LATIMER'S. If you want elegant Embroidery at a very low price, why then go to LATIMER'S. And (JENTLEMKN, if you want a SUIT OF CLOTHES, wo arc prepared to fit you, and at prices that you can't get elsewbore. This is emphatic talk but it is true. An unusual little incident happened bcforo our counters a few days ago that we believe will interest the broad and liberal minded, and wo take the liberty of publishing it in our advertising space, suppressing only the name of one of tho dialogists, Mr. Latimer being the other. Wo will call tho unknown individual Mr. Blank, by way of convenience, and proceed with our "incident," which ran about as follows : Mr. Blank?Good morining Mr. Latimer. I see bv your advertisement in Tick Yonicvri.i.k Kxquiurcit, announcing a "grand cash salo for thirty days," that you aro offering reductions and inducements for cash, and I have brought my wifo and daughter along to-day 10 taac advantage ol' the announcement, knowing that you do just what your advertisements claim that you %'ill do. I have got the cash to spend. Mr. Latimer? Yes sir; we do exactly what wo say wo will do, and wo will at all times meet the most galling competition and protect our customers at all hazards. You have a good credit though on our books and I don't exactly understand why it is that you propose to spend your money to day with us when yon might use it for threo months without inconvonicnce to you or myself. Mr. Blank?Mr. Latimer, T have this money to spend?about $75?and I proposo to spend it with you. I)o you suppose that I am without gratitude? You sold me your goods on a credit, and now I propose to pay you the cash for these goods in order thai you may he better able to accommodate, me.. Why should 1 buy my goods on credit at onoplaceand pay cash to anothor?a man to whom I am under no obligations whatever? Mr. Latimer?Why, Mr. Itlank, you are under no obligations whatever to mo, only to pay what you have obligated yourself to pay. True, i have never had auv objection to selling goods for Cash, for I havo always identified myself with Cash customers, and, in fact, prefer cash transactions to any other, for tlio only difference between tlio two with ns is the interest on the money, and money can always ho loaned at interest. Mr. Blank?Well, Mr. Latimer, yon seem to take a magnanimous view of the situation, which is always commendable, but so far as I ' am concerned I propose to buy all of my goods from you, just as I havo been doing for the past eighteen months, with the exception of one instance last year, when I went to a "strictly cash store" and bought $11.55 worth of goods on thirty days' credit, and they put a "cash slip" in'tho drawer against me. 1 never realized what I had done until I saw tho "cash slip," tiled against me, when 1 went to pay tho bill. It was only then that I realized that I hadn't acted above board and given your stock at least an inspection From you I could havo obtained at least the same terms with as low prices without having to tolerato the gnawing of a guilty conscience. Your methods of doing business are well known to the public, and I have related my experience to several of my friends, and they, liko myself, havo arrived at the same conclusion that they propose to help those who have eonlidonee in tiiem. Mr. Latimer?Mr. blank, I certainly feel grateful that you entertain such a feolfnjx lor my establishment, and you shall, before you leave this house, feel that you have all you paid for, receiving full value for your money. What kind of goods do want to buy this morning? Mr. blank?Well, my daughter and wife wish to get some Low t juarterd Shoes, a Nieo Dress or two and lots of Millinery. I know that you can suit them, and if you have any Straw Hats I will look at them. I want them for my boys?something nieo. I also want a Cravat ifyou have any. Mr. Latimer?You are on the right track now, for wo are offering tremendous inducements in all tho lines you speak of, having bought largely and having been shown considerable favoritism by wholesale dealers. In Straw Hats, Millinery, Dress Goods and Fine Low Cut Shoes for Ladies, we do not recognize competition. W. C. LATIMER. CLEANING AM) REPAIRING.
