LETTER FROM BLACKSBl'RG. Correspondence of tlie Yorkville Enquirer. Blacksburo, June 10.?Agreeably to promise, the supervisor of registration came up yesterday and is quite busy this morning, issuing certificates. One of the heaviest rains we have had, fell last night, and it is a very convenient time for the farmers to attend to their political duties. For the past week they have been harvesting wheat, and most of them report a very poor yield and an inferior quality. There is"a fine showing of oats, however," especially of that sown in the spring, and the outlook for a good corn and cotton crop is very promising, the only exception being that the excessive rain in some localities is said to have retarded the growth of cotton. During the past week Dr. Black has sold four lots on Cherokee street and six on Lime street to Mrs. L. C. Black. Also, one lot on Cherokee Btreet to Dr. J. M. Richardson, and one on the same street to Mrs. B. C. Clement. Mrs. 8. A Whisnant has sold eight lots on Shelby street to Dr. Black. The Blacksburg Land and Improvement comnanv have moved into their new and commo dious quarters at the corner of Jones and Mountain streets. The rooms are neatly finished and handsomely furnished, and several civil engineers and corps of assistants are busily engaged making necessary surveys, laying out streets, preparing maps, etc., Mr. C. G. Parish, who has finished his contract of grading the Three C's railroad between Rutherfordton and Marion, is expected here this week with his force and equipment, for the purpose of grading the new streets. A contract has been made by the Blacksburg Land and Improvement company with the Schuyler Light company, for an electric light plant, covering both arc and incandescent systems, and some of the material has already been received. The contract provides that it shall be in working order, and the town lighted by electricity on the 4th of July, for the first time. The agents of the company report that they have made contracts with the town and individuals, to take the full complement of i lights which the plant will furnish. Work has already begun on the building in which the electric plant is to be located, in the eastern part of the town, between Jones street and the AirLine railroad. Mr. J. C. Hayden has sold his lot, on the corner of Peachtree street and Whitaker avenue, to John F. Jones and others, who have contracted to build a commodious and modern hotel, and two other elegant structures. The plans contemplate the expenditure of twentytive thousand dollars. The lower storv of the hotel is contracted to be completed and ready for occupation by August 1st, and the preparation of the material is far advanced by the builder, who has prepared it by such machine work as could bo done out of town, where he has facilities for doing it. Mr. H. M. Angle is completing his plans for a sixteen room boarding house, and contemplates the erection of a business block, and the plans show that there will be three stores on the first floor. Trains leave Blacksburg daily heavily load ed with steel rails ana otner suppuwa iui mo extension of the Three C's road aDove Rutberfordton and through the mountains, and the railroad company continues to receive new equipments for' its constantly increasing freight business. Subscription books of the Blacksbnrg Machine ana Iron Works company, and the Whisnant Lumber company, were opened in this city last Saturday, and the authorized capital of both fully subscribed. The new foundry is crowded with orders, and Mr. Babbington finds it necessary to make additions to his force of workmen. Parties are here this week examining clay with a view to establishing pottery works. Mr. J. W. Thomson, the census enumerator for this township, has been quite ill for a week, and unable to attend to his work. Mr. J. W. Secrest has been appointed to take his place, and this morning began a tour of the townBbip. Mr. J. B. Mintz, one of our prominent citizens, has also been confined to his bed by sickness for two weeks, from which, on account of his age, he does not recover rapidly. Our merchants have adopted a rule to close their stores at 8 o'clock every evening except Saturday. The residence of Mr. Geo. W.Deal, on Rutherford street, has been finished, end he occupied it last week, celebrating the event by having a pleasant tea-party of a few of his immediate relatives and friends. Miss Eva Twitty having completed her term of teaching music in our town, leaves for her home in Rutherfordton this week, but expects to return in the fall and resume her work. w. a. LETTERFROM* FODDER. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. Fodder, June 10.?Since my last letter the death angel has been abroad in the community. Our people were shocked to hear of the sudden death of Mr. Harvey A. Adkins, a notice of which appeared in the last issue of The Enquirer. Mr. Adkins was a very active, energetic man. On Wednesday evening preceding his death Mr. Adkins went to the field with his hoe and soon gained a "round" on the young persons who were hoeing with him. On Friday morning, between 1 and 2 o'clock, he was a corpse. Mr. Adkins was an industrious, hard-working, honest man. He raised a large family honorably. He was a true friend, and an open candid enemy. During a life time of more than half a century he never acquired the art of being deceitful. A good man and a good citizen has passed away. The relatives and many friends of Mr. Ed. Davidson were deeDlv grieved to hear of his untimely death. hfr." Davidson was a young man of excellent character. It was my privilege to be acquainted with him, and I met him at different times and under various circumstances ; yet I never heard a profane or impure word from his lips. Although not entirely unprepared for the intelligence, our community was saddened by the death of Mr. Samuel A. Bell, which occurred at his home near this place on last Wednesday night, the 4th instant. His remains were interred at Beth-Shiloh, on Thursday. Mr. Bell was the oldest person in the community, being at the time of his death in the 81st year of his age. He was a half "brother of the" late T. J. Bell, Esq., of Yorkville. If I am correctly informed, Mr. Bell was born and raised in York county. He received a good English education, and when quite a young man commenced teaching school. He went to the State of Alabama?perhaps in the early forties?and remained several years, and while there was enengaged in teaching, He returned to York county about the year 1845 and again resumed his favorite profession, that of school teaching. As a teacher, Mr. Bell was eminently successful. He closed his last school on the 2.5th of August, 1875. Mr. Bell was a teacher of "ye olden time"? a stern discinnarian?one who always had a smile and a Kind word for the obedient, studious pupil, and a frown and a rod for the lazy and rebellious. There are many men and women in York county to-day who are indebted for their education and their subsequent success in life to Samuel A. Bell. For a half century a schoolteacher! What a record! Fifty years of patient, untiring efforts in "rearing the tender thoughtin training and developing the youthful intellect: in fortifying and equipping the rising generation to go forth and tight the battles of life successfully. The man with such a record as this, even though his life may have gone out in comparative obscurity, has not lived in vain. He has started a wave of influence, which like the pebble the boy threw into the pond, is destined to roll on and on down the vista of time till it reaches the shores of eternity. A striking peculiarity of Mr. Bell, from boyhood until burdened down by the infirmities of old age, was his neatness and particularity of dress. From his well dusted hat, bis faultless linen, to his perfectly fitting boots, he was a model of neatness and taste. Mr. Bell was a strictly temperate man. When a school boy he became intoxicated and acted in such a ridiculous manner that upon becoming sober he was thoroughly ashamed of and disgusted witu nimsen. wniiem iuis irauio of mind he yielded to the entreaties of his stepmother and took a solemn vow to never again drink another drop of liquor as a beverage?a vow which he kept till death. Mr. Bell was a Sleasant and entertaining conversationalist. te made no blunders, no mistakes, but used pure grammatical English. Wheat is ripe and will soon be all cut down. The crop is reported very light, though I cannot tell what per cent, of a crop will be made till threshing time. There is some grass reported, but as it is yet small the farmers have it under control. We have had fine rains and crops are growing rapidly. Mr. M. A. W. Smith is confined to bed with asthma. w. kssohkk. LETTER FROM HICKORY GROVE. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. Hickory Grove, June 10.?Prof. G'authen's school closed for a month's vacation last Friday. The patrons turned out with their baskets and had a real nice picnic. Our worthy school commissioner, Rev. L. A. Johnson, was present and made a splendid address to the pupils and patrons. The afternoon was occupied by the children reciting their poems. This they did real well, which contributed much credit to themselves and their faithful teacher. About sunset the people began corning in from different directions. Soon the academy was well nigh filled with an eager audience for the performance of the play, the "Social Glass." The play began about 9o'clock, owing to some delay on the part of some who were interested. It lasted two and a half hours, and was highly enjoyed by all present. The amount of $19 was raised, which will be applied to the SCDOOl liururj. Prof. Cauthen will leave in a few days for his home at Hoatb Springs, where he will spend his vacation. Miss Belle Kennedy, of Yorkville, is visiting the family of Dr. J. w. Allison. Mrs. Terry, of Hamlet, N. C., with her daughter, Miss j Mary, is visiting her son, Mr. R. B. Terry. Mrs. Dr. Caldwell, with her father, Mr. Hop- ! son, of Columbia, returned from that city yes- j terday. She has been away several days, and j her many friends are again glad to welcome | her to her home. Mr. Hopson compliments . our town and speaks of making an investment. I The State chemist, Mr. Burney, accompanied by Mr. I. N. Withers, Jr., both of Columbia, ! was in town last week. He made some inves- ' tigation as to the value of various minerals and j expressed himself as being pleased with the re- ! suit. Miss Ellie Wylie and Jas. DMcill, of Cbes-; ter, made a visit to their friends and relatives ! here last week. An election yesterday for mayor, to take the j place of Dr. T. S. R. Ward, who resigned some j days ago, resulted in the choice of Dr. J. W. Allison. Mr. Broom, who(has been night j watchman at Cherokoe Cotton Mills for some time, has been employed as policeman, and is now on duty, equipped in a splendid uniform. Three car loads of heavy groceries for the merchants here were received at this depot yesterday afternoon. This kind of trade has been fine here this season. rex. LETTER FROM UNION COUNTY. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. Etta Jane, June 9.?The weather, for the past week, has been alternating between showers and sunshine, and the crops are growing very fast. Most of the cotton has been chopped out to a stand and worked out. The present and prospective crop of candidates in this county has put the political pot to boiling, and the sentiment has been brought to the surface that as Tillman has trod the winepress almost alone for four years, he is entitled to the undivided support of the farming class. Others think he has no more right to their suffrage than any other capable man, and so the matter stands. Rev. R. P. Smith will preach at Salem next Sabbath, 15th instant. His subject will bo "The day of final judgment." Professing Christians, and others too, who entertain doubts as to the materiality or immateriality of the human body after death, will do well to hear his solution of this problem, which, no doubt, has been a fatal stumbling block to many. He will Dreach two sermons or. that day. Mr. II. Terry Estes has been quite unwell for several days with llux. Mrs. Mary Bishop Estes, who has had a serious attack of hemorrhage of the lungs, has sufficiently recovered as to be able to attend to her domestic affairs. The work of grading -the Augusta division of the Three C's railroad, in this section, is progressing to the satisfaction of the contractors. In about two months, Jones & Co. expect to move their camp to the vicinity of Smith's Ford. The grading along the Broad river valley, railroad experts say, is unusually light, and it is expected to be finished during the present j'ear. Wheat and oat harvest are on our people now. Wheat is light, but the oats are generally good. Our farmers who have no grass have no 1 crops. SIGMA. LETTER FROM BLACKSTOCK. Correspondence of the Yorkvllle Enquirer. Blackstock, June 10.?The farmers in this section are beginning to look anxiously for rain, as its need is being pretty generally felt. A shower last night freshened up things conconsiderably, but it will take a long steady rain to set crops all right with us now. The school at this place will close its session this week, and on next Friday the pupils, together with the patrons and friends of the school, will have a picnic in a beautiful grove near the town. Cadet T. W. Robinson, whom I mentioned as being ill with typhoid fever a few weeks ago, died on last Saturday night. He was one of the beneficiary cadets in the Citadel academy from Chester county, having secured the appointment over a number of competitiors last fall. About nineteen years of age, of fine physical development, bright and ambitious, he seemed to give promise of a successful career, not only in the pursuit of his studies at the citadel, but also in the walks of life. His funeral services took place at the Blackstock Baptist church, of which he had been a member for several years, and a large concourse of people listened to the impressive remarks of the pastor, Rev. J. Q. Adams. STATE AND LOCAL DEBTS. The census department has made public the results of the eleventh census in relation to State and local finances. In 1880 the aggregate of the bonded and floating debts of the Eastern States was $51,270,183.72, and in 1890, $39,974,06G.29, a decrease of $11,296,117.43. In 1880 the aggregate of the same debts of the Middle States was $44,885,894.21, and in 1890, $33,498,412.71, a decrease of 11,387,482.50. In 1880 the aggregate of the same debts of the Southern States was $135,639,041.87, and in 1890, $107,616,077.69, a decrease of $28,022,854.18. In 1890 the aggregate of the samer debts of the Western States was $51,344,181.80, and in 1890, $47,591,261, a decrease of $3,652,484.91. In 1880 the total of these debts of the four geographical divisions specified was $283,139,382.60, and in 1890, $228,679,817.60, a decrease of $54,469,484.91. It will be observed by the reader of these figures that the Southern States have reduced their debts in a greater amount, by more than a million and a half of dollars, than the aggregate reduction made by the Eastern, Middle and Western States. The States have reduced their debts to this extent, says the report, mainly by applying to the redemption of their obligation the revenues not needed for current expenses. In a few cases, however, a reduction of the debt has been effected by the enforced redemption of obligations at a discount, but the amount of reduction through this process cannot be ascertained until the statements of outstanding debts in those States have been compared with cash receipts and expenditures on account of debt for the same period and the differences noted. The total bonded debt of the United States is shown to have been $1,709,993,100 in 1880, and $7,191,781,570 in 1890. The bonded debt of the several States in 1880 was $259,037,456, and $184,945,206 at the present time, making a total decrease of $1,054,897,780, State and national. As to the county indebtedness, the report shows the total bonded debt of the 2,807 counties in the United States and Territories to be $130,734,959, as against $103,493,752 in 1880. The floating debt of these counties in 1880 was $10,745,331, while their present floating debt is $14,958, ooi, a aecreaseu 01 $i,/?o,aou. mis snows an increase in the total debt of the counties of the United States during the past ten years of $24,454,75G. To Build Grant's Monument.? Here is a true story of ex-Confederate officers at Richmond. On the night before the unveiling of the Lee statue, about a score of them, with their friends, were sitting in the Westmoreland Club, when one of them, an officer of high Confederate rank, now a resident of New York city, said: "I see that Representative Flower, of New York, hasintroduced a resolution asking congress to give $2.30,000 toward building the monument that city promised to erect to General Grant. I hope it won't be done. New York should redeem her promise, and it is to her shame that she has uot. I see that congress proposes to give $300,000 to erect a monument in Washington. That is right. Grant should be buried at Arlington. "Now, I have been prosperous and have means. I propose to wait until September 1, ai d if at that date New York has not raised the money for the monument she agreed to erect, I intend to start a subscription of Southern men and head it with $20,000. I will then advertise for subscriptions in every Southern newspaper and limit them to Southern men." There was a momentary silence, when a leading ex-officer rose and said: "I agree to add $5,000 to your subscription." Then, in quick succession, others rose and pledged various sums, until within a few minutes $50,000 had been thus raised. If names could be given the public would see that these were no idle boasts, but the words and subscriptions of men able to pay the sums they pledged and intending to go into the movement.?[New York Herald.

I have recently put in a few acres of peas with my Harrow on oat stubble, and am highly pleased with the character of its work, but more so with the saving of time, which is a great object at this season of the year. I am cultivating my melon patch with my Harrow. Yours Ac., Wm. J. Miller. The above testimonial from Mr. Miller will, no doubt, be considered a satisfactory answer to those who have asked me whether or not the Corbin Harrow would put in peas on stubble land without the assistance of the plow.

THE timo for tlio dull season lias come, but the dullness must not come with it. We mean to make the summer trade as lively as circumstances will allow. We mean to offer every inducement that we can to the buyers of Yorkville and York county. We have a good supply of goods, they are of the best quality, and are cheap. We are offering advantages in our store that have never been offered by any firm in town before. It is natural for every one to look to his own interest. We do not blame any one for not buying from us when he can get goods cheaper somewhere else. We want everybody to "I.OOK AROUND" And see where he can get the best bargains, for when he sees other goods and compares them with ours, and considers the difference in the prices, he is not so blind as not to see, and not so appreciative as not to confess, that our goods are cheaper than they are accustomed to get in this market. Now, we are actually selling out our stock of STRAW HATS AT COST, and some at a discount even. We will sell you Three Straw Hats for Ten Cents. We can sell you as good a Hat for 81.50 as you can get anywhere else for 82.25. We can sell you a low crown, stiff brim Black Straw Hat?a perfect model of style and beauty?for 81.05. This hat is a hat of this season. It is entirely new and is ver}' popular. It has every quality that is required by the trade. We have a variety of first-class Mackinaw Hats that we are selling at 40,45 and 55 cents, that are worth 81.00. Look at that?a reduction of from 40 to 100 per cent, on good seasonable goods, which puts them at a very great discount. We have a lot of others, in fact almost any kind o? a Straw Hat that you want. Remember that we are selling all these at actual cost. WE CLAIM THE HONOR Of having the best line of Shoes that has ever been kept in Yorkville. It must not be forgotten that we have a superb line of N. Hess & Brothers' celebrated Shoes always on hands.

Their hand welt goods are unsurpassed by any that we have ever seen. We have their New Freuch for 86.00 that never fails to give satisfaction as to comfort, style and durability. We handle a nice line of his novelties, in Patent Leathers, Undressed Calf Tans, and others. These aro not for beauty alone, as you would think by looking at them, but they give good service. Stop in front and examine our Shoe case. Our J. W. Thompson 8*'5.00 Shoes that you have justly heard so much of, can always be found in our stock.

Bargains Can be Had at Onr Store IN LADIES' SHOES. We have a first-class Shoe for Ladies which we are offering for 83.00. The Shoes are branded "Mary Anderson, the Beauty."

We can sell you a pair of pants at 75 cents or at 87.50 as you like, and we have all the intermediate qualities. We have a beauty in the pants line for 87.50, and if any one wants a fine pair of pants, the only reason that he will not buy it is because he can't get a fit. Let us hear from you before you buy anywhere else. Ours is the Depot for Gents' Wear, For of us you can buy anything from a pair of Half-Hose to a Collar. We have a first class line of Gents' Half-Hose. Our Men's Brown Balbriggan Ilalf-IIose, silk, clocked at three pairs for 81.00, aro elegantly finished and will wear like split silk.

Now, in conclusion, let us again call your attention to our marvelously cheap Straw Goods, which are unreasonably low. Yours for style, JOHN MAY, JR. <fc CO. Depot for Gents' Furnishing Goods. -^MAY & MAY,"-di H DRUGGISTS. 1ft WHY IT IS SO. IN Yorkvillo MAY' & MAY are the LEADING DRUGGISTS. We do not lead simply because the senior member of our firm is the oldest druggist in Yorkville. We do not lead "by right ofpossession" or through the "priority claim," but we are the Leading Druggists through DESERVED MERIT, UNTIRING ENERGY, CARE IN COMPOUNDING AND QUALITY OF INGREDIENTS. This is one of the many reasons why our Drugs business extends over . ? . such a vaso territory uuuu^uuua w xumyiuo. Another reason that we are the Leading Druggists is that we carry a splendid line of everything that you would expect to find in a first-class Drug Store, and at prices commensurate with the quality of the articles sold. It is impossible to enumerate our stock?itwould require a whole page of this paper?consequently it is necessary to give only a few notes on our latest purchases. Wilber's Breakfast Cocoa And PHILLIP'S DIGESTIBLE COCOA for Dyspepsia are highly recommended by every one. If you are suffering from Indigestion buy it and try it. TARITE. Tarite is something new in this market, but is one of the best disinfectants for exterminatings Moths, Ants and all kinds of insects ever known. It is made to be used in packing awav CLOTHING, BLANKETS AND QUILTS, or anything that is likely to bo attacked by moths or insects, and it will preserve them and keep them just as good as when packed away. Moths can't live where Tarite is placed, and you can havo no excuse for having your winter clothing ruined when a small outlay will save them. PRATT'S CHLORIDE Is a magnificent disinfectant for Out-houses, Sinks and Back-yards, and now while the Sanitary Committee is on duty, is the time to use it. But it should not only bo used when the Sanitary Committee i3 on duty, but during the entiro summer. Always keep it on the premises.

We wish we were able ; but as the matter now stands we have ( determined to close our Ledger against new ( accounts and accommodate only those who have made the proper arrangements at the proper , time. Our business has grown to such a magnitude that this course is demanded, and it will be rigidly adhered to. During the : remainder of the season we will offer great bargains for cash, in order that more new customers may be induced to buy of us, and that we may become better acquainted with their ideas of business obligations ; that is, the merchant to the customer and the customer to the merchant.
