LETTER FROM BLACKSBURO.
Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer.
Blacksburo, .Tune 24.?The past two days
are conceded to have been the hottest of the
season, the temperature running up pretty
high, and everyone seems to be in a melting
mood. It is grand weather for cotton, though.
The plant is looking healthy and strong, and no
kind of vegetation has as yet been in injured
by the heat.
On last Thursday, while the north bound
freight-train Kb. 19, on the Air-Line railroad,
Capt. Kirkwood conductor, was coming off the
bridge at Broad river, Emanual P. Bright, the
watchman at the bridge, was knocked off the
track by the engine and instantly killed. Trial
Justice W. D. Camp having been notified of the
accident, summoned a jury and, acting as coroner,
held an inquest, over the dead body. The
verdict was that the unfortunate man came to
his death by "accident or mischance," and no
blame attaches to any one connected with the
train. The only inference drawn from the
testimony was that Bright was on the track, in
front of the engine, and failed to get off in time
to avert the terrible castastrophe. There was
no evidence that he was under the influence of
liquor. He was about forty-five years old and
leaves a wife and several children who were
dependent upon his wages for a living.
Miss Mamie Williams, of Lancaster, is visit\f?ki
HHu OflhnrnA and ATissaq l\f?rv and
Muttie Osborne, of Chester, and Miss Ella
Rainey, of Sharon, are on a visit to the families
of Mr. O. Osborne, and Mr. Allen Crosby.
A special meeting, begun Saturday evening,
is being held this week at the Presbyterian
church, by ;he pastor of the church, and bis
son, Rev. Mr. Anderson, of Rock Hill.
Dr. John G. Black received by express a
few days ago three thoroughbred Jersey calves
from Worcester, Massachusetts, that he adds to
his already very fine herd of Jerseys.
Mr. W. A. Black, of Merriweather county,
Ga., has returned to his home after paying a
Visit to relatives at Blacksburg.
Mr. Adam Davis, of Greenville, S. C., is
spending several days at this place.
Dr. Thomas B. Whitesides is erecting a neat
and very elegant residence on Carolina street.
He has surrounded several acres of land embracing
the spring analyzed by Prof. Burnie,
State chemist, and found, as my readers know,
to contain some very valuable health-giving
elements. There are nine of these springs in a
group that bubbles forth at the foot of Carolina
Btreet that forms near by a common street that
wends its way through a deep ravine in Whitaker's
mountain, and loses itself in the valley
of Buffalo. The curative powers of these
waters have been known for all time and
sought by many an invalid. When the proper
investigations are made there is no doubt there
will be found a great deal of very valuable
mineral water here, as the evidences of this fact
are very patent in this section.
Rev. T. M. Lowry, pastor of the First Presbyterian
church in Augusta, Ga.. preached in
the Presbyterian church at this place last
night, while on his way to visit his former home
in Yorkville.
The work of building the new hotel has
commenced in earnest. Material is being
placed upon the ground and quite a number
of mechanics have commenced its construction.
This magnificent building fronts Peachtree
street, down at the foot of which is the mineral
spring that 1 have made mention of. It is
located on a high shady point, that will afford
a scenery that is grand in itself.
M. R. Reese is erecting several beautiful cottages
on railroad avenue.
Your correspondent had the pleasure of visiting
the Blacksburg Land ana Improvement
company's building, which is commodious in
all apartments, well fitted and conveniently arranged
with light, airy rooms, magnificent office
furniture, wh6re architects and engineers
are at work. The. maps spread out here will
show the progress maae by this company for
Hrinriincrs and a Hvstflm of beautiful streets
that embrace their property. The effort of this
company is to diyest themselves of anything
like humbuggery, that every street and lot
shown on their maps can be located, and when
this work is completed under the supervision
of its indefatigable and persevering president,
Maj. Jno. F. Jones, sales will be opened, and
from the progress being made, it is vivid to
our imagination that a city will spring up
around here as if by magic.
Robert W. Whitesides and William Ross,
county commissioners, are here looking after
putting a bridge across Buffalo, at Moore's mill.
This bridge, if built, will serve a great purpose
for this part of the county?one much needed?
and will give the sections on each side of this
deep stream the advantage of an intercourse,
that are now isolated from each other.
The Schyler Electric Light company are
placing the machinery of their plant and putting
up their poles along the streets. The time
agreed upon by the company is to complete
their work by the Fourth of July, by which
time, no doubt, the town will blaze w'ith electric
lights, much to our comfort.
Professor Barnes has his telegraph lines
completed to all the principal places in the
town and messages for 5 cents can be flashed
everywhere, He has a full school and has his
most advanced scholars out on the lines from
the school building. Everything works under
a system as if in regular service.
Mr. Frank Hardin is here from Atlanta to
spend a few days at his old home in Blacksburg.

home at Hamlet, X. C., last Tuesday afternoon.
A Miss Belle Kennedy, one of Yorkyille's fair%t,
was in town for a week, visiting the family
of Dr. J. W. Allison.
Rev. J. C. Galloway, of Yorkville, preached
to a creditable audience in the A. R. P. church
at this place on last Wednesday evening. Rev.
Mr. Betts, of Richburg, S. C., will preach for
the same congregation next Sabbath, 29th instant,
at 11 o'clock, a. m.
Rev. A. J. Stafford filled his appointment at

attending school at Huntersyille, N. C., but
does not expect to finish his course there. He
will probably go to Due West next year.

LETTER FROM ROCK HILL.
Cormipondence of the Yorkville Enquirer.
Rock Hill, June 24.?On Friday laS^ as the
town clock struck the hour of one, one of our
best and most esteemed citizens passed away.
Dr. Robert H. Hope is no longer with us. *A
good citizen,'a kind friend and a noble Christian
gentleman, has gone to his last resting
place without a blemish upon his pure character,
and with the love and esteem of all who
knew him, .as was demonstrated by the large
number who visited him during his last illness
and the immense concourse who attended
his funeral services, which were held in the
First Presbyterian church. The house was
filled long before the hour appointed for the
services, as well as a large portion of the yard.
In the pulpit were Rev. W. M. Anderson, the
pastor, Rev. J. S. White, Rev. J. Q. Adams
and Rev. J. W. McRoy, all of whom took part
in the solemn services. The hearse which
carried the remains was drawn to and from the
church by four black horses. The pall bearers,
a delegation from the Masonic fraternity, were,
Messrs. Jno. F. O'Neal, A. F. Fowell, J. W.
Fewell, M. Johnson, Win. Whyto, W. A.
Steele, W. S. Moore, A. E. Hutchison. Ho was
buried with Masonic honors. The funeral cortege
was the largest ever seen in our town. As
soon as the death of this noble old gontleman
was announced, every business house and a
number of private residences wore elaborately
draped in mourning, and at the hour of his
funeral, all business was suspended.
Dr. Robert H. Hope was born in Mecklenburg
county, N. C., November 18th, 1818. At
the age of 18, he. with mother and family (his
father having died) settled in York county,
where he married Miss Jannie McFadden, in
1842. In 1840 he graduated and received his diploma
as a doctor of medicine from the Charleston
Medical school. He has evcrsinee practiced
his profession in this county, and has done
more charity practice than any other physician
in it. When called upon he always responded
to "the distress call." In obstetrics ho
was a specialist, and in a record of over 2,000
cases he was successful in every one. Already,
a movement is on foot by the ladies of the
town, to whom he has boen a faithful friend,
to erect a handsome monument to his momory.
IIis death is a loss to our community. Certainly
a good man is gone.
The young men and boys of the town have
decided, to have a bathing'pond, and have secured
a site for the same on the branch that the
C. C. and A. railroad crosses, about a half mile
north of town.
Work has been begun on a two-story building
on Main street, the property of Capt. A. E.
Hutchison. The first floor will contain three
store rooms, to be occupied, when completed,
by Mallard Bros., Steele Bros., and "Your
Uncle Miles." Tbesecond floor will likely bo
secured as an armory for the Catawba Rifles.
Sunday was the warmest day of the season.
The front of the Carolina Hotel is being
greatly improved by a coat of paint and repenciling
the brick.
The town council is doing some good work on
Elm avenue by grading and otherwise improving
the street.
Chas. Westerlund accidentally shot himself
in the leg last week with one of those "did not
know it v,as loaded" pistols. The wound,
while painful, is not serious.
The closing exercises of Ebenozer school,
under the management of Prof. J. H. Wilson,
were held on Thursday and Friday nights last,
and were largely attended. The exercises consisted
as usual, of recitations, dialogues and
speeches. Thursday night Prof. Rice, State
superintendent of education, and Rev. L. A.
Johnson, county school commissioner, made
short but appropriate addresses to the children.
On Friday night the prizes which had been offered
were awarded as follows: The gold medal
to Miss Annie Roddey. In algebra?Sam
Watson, Sam Carothers. In arithmetic?J. R.
Stephenson, of Chester county. . In rhetoricEunice
Moore, of Bethesda.
The Masonic fraternity of this place will lay
the corner stone of the new Presbyterian church
at Ebenezer on Friday next, at 5 p. m. A number
of our citizens will attend.

Dr. J. B. Patrick died atS p. ni. yesterday.

disease "uranic poisoning," was quick in its
work. lie was in the 3Uth year ot his nge.
His father and mother arrived here from
Charleston this morning at 2 o'clock, to find
him cold in death. The funeral services will

by Rev. J. S. White, and at the grave by the
Knights of Honor. An escort from the Catawba

NOTES FROM LESSLIE.
Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer.
Lesslie, June 23.?A Democratic club was
organized at Coates's Tavern on the 14th instant,
with fifty members. The following officers were
elected : A. K. Smith, president; J. T. Spencer,
first vice-president; T. F. Lesslie, second vicepresident
; W. P. Crook, secretary and treas- j
urer. An executive committee, and a committee
on registration and by-laws were appointed.
The school at Lesslie closed on the loth
iustnnt. Miss Lawlie Simpson has resigned as
teacher and gone to her home in West Virginia.
The patrons of the school have secured the
services of Miss Rose Eva Patton, a recent
graduate of the Winthrop Training school.
She will open the school on the 14th of July.
The farmers of this section are well up with
their work. The cotton crop is in fine condition.
The small grain is about all housed.
Wheat is even poorer that was thought. Oats
are generally good. We are needing rain badly,
it now being four weeks since we have had a
good season. t. l.
LETTER FROM LANCASTER COUNTY.
Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer.
Craigsvili.e, June 21.?This section is not
very prolific of news. Our people are btisy,
and have no time to gossip. Farmers generally
are well up with their work, and crops
are promising.
The late rainfalls have been very partial.
Some lands have been too wet to plow for several
days, while others have had scarcely any
rain. South of the dividing line, the corn is
beginning to suffer. Not having had a thorough
season, since it was planted, the stalk has
not been able to throw out feeding roots as it
ought; and, while the stalk is of gpod size, if
there is not a season shortly the crop will be
very short. With good seasons there is a
promise of a good crop, for the grouud is in
excellent tilth.
Last week a hailstorm went along the State
line eastward and did great damage, some
crops towards Monroe being beaten to pieces.
Cotton is doing well. Blooms were seen in
various places on the 15th instant, and some
stalks measure over three feet. This is encouraging,
after the magnificent failure of last
year. The crop is very well worked ; very little
grass is to be seen. The season being favorable,
a large crop may be expected. Oats has
been harvested, and generally saved without
damage. The crop is only tolerable. Spring
sowings had not enough rain, but turned out
rather better than was expected, and fall sowings
were troubled by insects.
F ruits of all kinds, except blackberries, are
short. Many strawberries were killed by the
frost early in May. Cherries promised a good
}deld, but failed for a like cause. Peaches are
ike angels' visits, and plums conspicuously
absent. Blackberries alone must he relied on
for winter use. Pur people are canning them
right ahead. They are much better than nothing,
and we should be thankful for them.
Corn silks w^ere seen in a field here on the
13th instant.
Tillmanism is being both cussed and discussed.
We expect a big time ?t the court
house on the 4th proximo. waxhaw.

Correspondence of the Yorkvllle Enquirer.
Fort Mill, June 23.?It was my privilege
and pleasure to attend the closing exercises of
the Fort Mill Graded school last week. Fort
Mill has long enjoyed the reputation of having
one of the best schools in the State, and the exercises
just closed have been calculated to
make us believe that it is more efficient than
ever.
The school is under the management of Prof.
J. A. Boyd, assisted by Misses Etta Ardrey
and Lucy Belk?all experienced, painstaking
teachers, with their hearts in the work.
The examinations were commenced on Tuesday,
continuing through Wednesday and
Thursday, and were closed on Friday night
with a delightful entertainment, in which all
the pupils from the tiniest dot of four years, up
to the fads and lassies of sixteen, took part. It
has never been my pleasure to witness more
creditable examinations, and all the patrons of
the school aro delighted with the thorough
work of the teachers.
The exhibition on Friday night was also a
grand success. The house was crowded, and
for four hours was delightfully entertained
with readings, recitations, plays, dialogues and
declamations.
Supt. Rice, who was present, -delivered a
short address, in which he took occasion to
say that the exhibition just witnessed was one
of the best gotten up and most perfectly carried
out that he had seen for a long time. Of
"in said they bore testimony
to tbeadmirable w'urk of the -teachers, ?vliusir
faithful labors were unmistakably evidenced
in such splendid results.
Up to the present time the enrollment shows
up the names of 10G pupils, with an average
attendance of 93.
We had good rains last Tuesday and Wednesday.

There is no doubt that the great, boundles
West is a wonderful country, and it will con

the ages. Probably three-fourths of the wheat

is the product of this wonderful country

'' TJKYOND the shadow of a doubt, TJIURS13
DAY, JULY 3RD, will boa great day in
" Yorkville. and nronerlv enough it should be. <
T The Democratic" Cam painters, the most con.
spicuous men in South Carolina, will address i
1 the conservative people of old York county,
from their respective standpoints, on the allabsorbing
topics of the hour! Every State3
loving citizen, whethor man or woman, should 1
3 be present on this angust occasion and listen
i to the words of these honorable gentlemen, in 1
order that they may be better prepared to form
their own conclusions and perform the true
r duties of good citizens.
' IT WAS NOT OUR OBJECT
e 1
In the outset of this advertisement, to discuss
politics, for we have too much confidence in
3 the ability of the politicians to manage their
r affairs, to interfere ; but we intended to say
1 that wo would olfer from this date, the 18th of
June, until the 4th day of July, for spot cash,
' our entire stock of Summer Clothing, Dress
Goods, Millinery, White Goods and Embroid'
eries at greatly reduced prices. It will not be
"a great bankrupt sale, under the anctioner's
- hammer," but it will be a sale of solid goods,
with an intrinsic value. It will be a great opd
*>jrtunity for those who have money, and need 1
i Clothing to buy of us at once.
THE AGRICULTURIST
>
Who has been so much engaged with the
t duties and labors of hi/j farm, and who lias
not yet been supplied with light Clothing for
himself and family, now has an opportunity
- that will not present itself again this season !
" Bring the cash and secure bargains. Every"
thing must go by July 4. If you want a Straw
' Hat you can buy it of us dirt cheap for the
cash. If you want any kind of Summer Mil5
linery, you can just bear in mind that the cash
will,buy it touch below its value. If you
wish to protect your complexion from the
j burning rays of the sun, buy an Umbrella or
Parasol which can bo obtained at a small price.
REMEMBER THE DATES!
r
( We want everybody to remember the dates
' contained in this announcement and govern
themselves accordingly, for they will
. have a chance to buy goods for cash at "cut
throat" prices. It will be a period of debauchg
ery of methodical business principles, which
though will put money in the consumers' pocket,
and otherwise advanco our common interest,
f Remember that from this date, June 18, our ena
tiro stock of goods will be for sale at greatly
- reduced prices for cash, until July 4th, on
i which day wo hope to have our stock reduced
f to empty shelves.
i ON THE THIRD OF JULY,

0 your headquarters and otherwise make yourselves

f to be able to do anything that is in our power to
make your visit to Yorkville on that clay both
- pleasant and profitable. Our hitching lot will
bo open to all, and packages may be left at our
store with an assurance of safe keeping.
Again wo say to you all that now, while the
. opportunity presents itself, come and buy
your seasonable summer goods, of a superior
quality while the prices are much below their
. intrinsic value.

TELLING THE TALE.
Our Prices are What is
Roiiig It!
I
QUR wonderfully low prices on Straw floods
is telling the tale. Wo believe that wo have
sold more Straw Hats than any one firm in
town, and we know that we have sold them
sheaper than any one else would sell them.
We still have a good many kinds and a good
many of a kind, so that we are still able to fit
iny one in style, size and price. It is no uso
for us lo say that we are selling them at cost.
Every body knows that. It only remains for
as to say that we still have the goods. So let
every body come in before thoy buy elsewhere
and examine
Our Stock of Straw Hats.
In the meantime, remember that ours is of the
best quality of fine black and white, and Mackinaw
straw, and that our roason for selling
them out so cheap is because wo don't want to
rrv them over for next snrintr.
Heating the World.
We believe we can beat the world 011 LOW
CUT SHOES. We liavo two dozen pairs of
J. W. THOMPSON'S 33.00 LOW CUT SHOES

J. W. Thompson 83.00 Shoe.
Even though you do not buy, it will do us good
to show the Shoe, for you cannot but remark
the cheapness and good quality of the Shoe.

WHY IT IS SO.
IN Yorkville MAY <fc 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 Loading 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 vast territory contiguous to Yorkville.
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?it would
require a whole page of this paper?consequently
it is necessary to give only a few notes on
our latest purchases.

And PHILLIP'S DIGESTIBLE COCOA for
Dyspepsia are highly recommended by every
one. If you are suffering from Indigestion

is one of the best disinfectants for exterminatiugs

or insects, and it will preserve them and keep

THE ONLY AUTHORIZED EDITION?
MRS. JEFFERSON DAVIS is very much
annoyed at the action of the bookmakers
who are trying to flood the market with hastily
prepared "Lives" of her illustrious husband.
She says no one is publishing a history of the
life of Mr. Davis by her authority. She is at
present engaged in writing a history herself,
and this will be the only authentic one. It will
be published sometime during the fall by the
Belfords, of New York. Dr. Jones, of Atlanta,
has received the sanction of Mrs. Davis to
write a history of the memorial services held
over Mr. Davis, but aside from this no other
permission has been granted.
The above paragraph was taken from a loading
and thoroughly reliable Southern newspaper,
and I have in my possession an autograph
letter from Mrs. Davis which corroborates it in
every particular. I have been appointed agent
for the'book by the Belfords, and now have the
prospectus. Will be pleased to receive the
orders of all who desire the book.
Mr. John A. Barron isauthorized to solicit
and receive subscriptions.
