LETTER FROM ROCK HILL. Correipondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. Rock Hill, August, 2G.?We continue to have cool nights and warm days. The first bale of new cotton was sold on this market on Friday, and was bought by Mr. E. B. Biggers, representing 0. P. Heath <? Co., at 11 cents per pound. It weighed 532 pounds. Saturday three other bales were marketed at 10} cento. The exercises of tho graded school began this morning. There were 222 pupils in attendance. The cotton seed oil mill has purchased two additional boilers of GO horse power eaph for their mill. There seems to be a mania for wind mills in our town, no less than four having been placed in the yards of private residences for the purpose of supplying the dwellings with water from the wells. Mayor J. M. Cherry is erecting two handsome cottages on Elm avenue. Mr. W. J. Rawlinson is also building one on Caldwell street. Quite an interesting series of services are being conducted at the First Presbyterian church at this place by the pastor. They begin last Wednesday evening, and have been continued day and night. They will likely end the last of the week. Large congregations attend each service. Rev. R. G. Patrick began a protracted meeting at Catawba church on Sunday. Rev. J. Q. Adams, of the Baptist church, begins a protracted meeting at Blackstock to-day. The election held here on Saturday for the purpose of electing delegates to the county convention, passed off quietly. A small vote was polled, mostly by voters from the country. There was only one ticket (Tillman) in the field. Considerable interest is being taken in the coming primary election. Already slates are being made. Alex. Gill, colored, in a difficulty with a colored woman, threw a smoothing iron at her, striking her on the head and fracturing her skull. Dr. J. W. Fewell attended her and considers her in a critical condition. The supply of watermelons has not yet been exhausted. Several wagon loads were sold here Saturday. There Is a good demand for chickens and eggs, and both bring good prices. Maj. A. H. White, from his first picking on I an acre of tomatoes, gathered 94 bushels. He expects to get equally as many, if not more, by the second picking. From, the preparations that are being made | and the interest manifested, "The Business Mali's Jublilee," next Friday, night promises to be one of the grandest entertainments ever given in Rock Hill. Dr. J. E. Massey, of Fort Mill, and Miss Manassa Withers, were married, at the residence of Mrs. J. M. Ivy, on Thursday last, Rev. J. H. Thornwell officiating. The ceremony took place promptly at 12.30. p. m., after which a reception was held and refresh meats served, xae nappy pair ieu on mo Three C's train for Blowing Rock, N. C., where they will spend a few weeks. They have many friends in Eastern York who extend to them their best wishes and congratulations. Mrs. Harvey H. Drennan, a most estimable ladv who lived a few miles from this place, died yesterday from cancer. She was about 65years old. It has just been three weeks since the death of her husband. Mr. Samuel M. Fewell has sold his farm in and adjoining the town, containing 200acres, to a syndicate for twelve thousand dollars. I learn that it is the intention of this syndicate to purchase all of the available lands in the western and northwestern suburbs of the town, and lay off building lots. In addition to the land bought from Mr. Fewell, they have made several other purchases at from $50 to $150 per acre. hal. LETTER FROM* BLACKSBURG. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. Blacksburo, August 2C.?The recent disastrous, and, in some places, fatal storm which swept over portions of Pennsylvania last week, extended this far in the form of cool nights and mornings, and another change in the weather. This highly favored Piedmont section of ours is just near enough to the mountains to derive every benefit from their pare water and bracing air, and is yet protected by them to a verv great extent from the furious winds which blow north and west of us. Yet as an evidence that we have indeed a "common country," the news of a tornado, cyclone or blizzard in the far west, is fairly flashed across the wires, before we feel its effects here in a gentle wind and lowering of temperature. The family of Mr. W. R. Lipscomb leave today for Lawrenceville, Ga., where he is engaged in railroad work on the G., C. and N. road. There is a general and genuine regret upon the part of our people to see them leave, yet it is a pleasure to know that their stay will only be temporary, and they will return to their old home in the course of a year. Their dwelling on Chester street, has been rented by Mr. W. M. Jones, who will at once move into it, tnereoy vacating cue residence ox Mr. M. L. Ross, on Carolina street, and gladdening the hearts of the latter and bis excellent wife, who are very anxious to leave the country and return to town. The election for delegates to the county convention passed off here very quietly on Saturday. There were ninety odd votes cast. The club met in the morning, and unanimously endorsed Hon. J. J. Hemphill for re-election to oongress. It was a real pleasure to all of bis constituents to have that gentleman pay our town a visit on Thursday last. His speech, though necessarily brief, had the ring of honest manhood and true statesmanship. His explanation of the sub-treasury bill was so explicit and satisfactory, that I feel sure not one ofhis hearers could approve so unjust, extravagant and iniquitous a measure. Mr. D. D. Gaston is haying a neat cottage built on Chester street, near Clairborne street. Messrs. Black, Reese <fc Co. have purchased 25 x 100 feet fronting on Shelby street, from Mr. O. C. Sarratt, and in consideration, will, in connection with their own building, erect for Mr. Sarratt a store room 25 x 100 feet on his own land adjoining, thereby making a continuous brick frontage of two stories on Shelby street, of 125 feet. The masons begin work today, laying the foundation for the Duilding. Prof. A. Milton Spcssard arrived here last week, from Western Maryland, and is busily engaged in getting ready to take charge of the Blacksburg institute as superintendent. Mr. Spessard is a graduate of St. John's College, Annapolis, Md., and has had an experience of ten years in teaching: first for two years as first assistant to the principal, and for the remainder of the time as principal in four high schools in Maryland. The course at the Blacksburg institute will be divided into ten grades. The course in each higher grade will begin where the preceding grade ended, and will be so arranged as to furnish plenty of employment for the pupils of each grade. All promotions will be made under the special supervision of the superintendent. and In the primary grade, promotion will depend upon a satisfactory oral examination, and a .written one in the other grades. The board of trustees will meet on Thursday next, ana will map out, wuu tue assistance 01 the superintendent, the studies to be pursued in each grade, adopt a series of text books, and prepare a catalogue. The school will open not later than the second week in September, and probably earlier. w. a. PROPOSED TRIBUTE TO A WORTHY MAN. For the Yorkvllle Enquirer. Editor of The Enqttirkr : The name of the Rev. Joseph Alexander, D. D., the pioneer preacher in the section of country known as Bullock's Creek and Broad River?apparently in oblivion for 125 years?is now beginning to loom np before the minds of the good people of Western York. Truly, the name of the wicked shall rot, but the name of the good and pure shall never perish from the earth. Of the nativity and early training of Dr. Alexauder we are not prepared to speak at this late day ; but the general impression prevails that he was a native of Pennsylvania and a graduate of Princeton, N. J. When voung in the ministry, he located in Mecklenlmrg eounty, N. C., where, for several years he performed tho duties of his office in the midst of a population ranked amongst the most intelligent, virtuous and patriotic of the early settlers of the American colonies. In so fair a field, his highly cultivated mind, professional zeal and ardent patriotism, all found ample scope for successful development. Young Alexander, under the mighty causes at work to stamp upon the American mind its permanent character, felt the vivifying influence, and soon became prominent as a powerful preacher and an earnest remonstrant against the tyrannical measures, at that day sought to be enforced by Great Britain upon her colonies in America. About the year 17?*G, he settled in Bullock's Creek congregation, in York (then Camden) district, of which he assumed the pastoral charge, and entered promptly upon the duties of his mission. He found himself surrounded by a moral waste stretching in all directions over an immense area, with here and there the cabin of a pious Pennsylvanian or a Scotch-Irish ami am UvAtvi Koda Tintliolu in tho WiI _ I r I CO uy toi lOll. I X KJlll bucog i^viuvio ill vuv <1 11 derness, the morning and evening pruyer had come up in remembrance before God, and in answer the dawn of a gospel day was now rising upon the darkness which had so long enshrouded the Broad River valley. In addition to the church of Bullock's Creek, Dr. Alexander, organized Nazareth church, in Spartanburg district, and Salem, in Union, both at that time a part of Ninety-Six, in each of which his ministry contributed greatly to advance the cause of religion and further the interest of our national independence. An excellent biographer has said of him: "Of so ardent a type was Dr. Alexander's patriotism, that from the day when the Stamp act and Boston Port bills passed the British parliament, until the hour when the smoke vanished from the last gun lired in defence of our national independence, tlfe glorious tires of his truly American heart, impatient of control, burned with intenseuess in his conversation; and that with the force of lightning from I the pulpit, where on suitable occasions he drew the picture of our country's wrongs, and in the name of humanity, liberty, and religion?summoned her sons to the rescue." Such is the Christian hero, whose life and work we would celebrate at Bullock's Creek church about the 15th of October, 1S90. llis grave in Bullock's Creek cemeterv, is almost marked. Shall it longer be so? Ye lovers of virtue, truth, patriotism religion and American liberty! We call upon you to rise from your past indifference and show your appreciation of this truly good and great man, by a mark of tribute to his memory, in the erection of a modest shaft over the grave of him, who, though silent in dust, yet speaketh to millions. Dr. Alexander closed his eventful life July 30th, 1809, and the simple slab that marks his grave, was obtained from a quarry in our own York district. In order to get up a sufficiency of funds to purchase the intended shaft, every female member of Bullock's Creek church has been constituted one of a committee to solicit subscriptions. No large sum is expected of any one?only something from any and all who feel that they would like to pay tribute to the memory of this brave preacher and patriot. The congregation of old Bullock's Creek church aggregate over two hundred attendants on the gospel ministry there. Will not they raise the needed fund for that worthy object within themselves, by simply giving one dollar each ? I feel that the pride of every soul in her bounds would be sorely wounded if they were not permitted to write their names in this memorial offering. To the ladies we say, get your paper and pencil and smiles ready, and begin to offer the privilege to everybody at once, as the time in which to act is short. r. m. c. NOTES FROM CLOVER. Correspondence of the Yorkvllle Enquirer. Clover, August 26.?James Brisentine, a colored man living on G. C. Ormand's place, four miles east of here, met with an accident on last Friday evening that resulted in his death on Saturday morning following. He was hauling lumber from a saw mill, west of this place. On this trip he had a six mule team and a heavily loaded wagon. It was noticed by several, as he passed through here, " * ' " ' 1 3 o nAnoHorahU fllliin mat ne aisu unu uu uu?iu ? ?... u tity of "pop skall." In fact, he had placed some one else on the saddle to do the driving, and bad himself taken up what he considered a safer position on top of the lumber. About a mile east of here he rolled off between the wheels, one of which passed oyer his breast. Dr. Pressly was summoned at once, but the unfortunate man could be afforded no relief. On Sunday morning Coroner S. L. Pursley held an inquest over the body, but nothing was developed further than is related above, except that the poBt mortem revealed the nature and extent of the bruises. Rev. V. I. Masters, of the Baptist church, preached his farewell sermon to his congregation here last Sabbath. This is a newly organized church and is now without a pastor. A jiODEL CONGREGATION. Correspondence of the Yorkvllle Enquirer. Blairsville, August 25.?Your correspondent had the pleasure of meeting with Salem congregation, in Union county, on the 17th instant, and found them to be an earnest and attentive body of people. In appearances and intelligence they compare yery favorably with any congregation in the Piedmont belt. I was also favorably impressed with the workings of their Sabbath-schools under the management of Mr. James L. Strain, who carries with him a deep mark of the late war, having lost one of his legs. I hope he may yet be spared many long years to direct the youthful minds of that congregation to Him "in whom peace and righteousness have met together and mercy ana truth have kissed each other." "We want that congregation to unite heartily with us in celebrating and doing honor to our distinguished friend, and benefactor, Dr. Alexander, who has bequeathed to us in common a rich inheritance. We know they will respond to the call. jvanhoe. ? Says The Newberry Observer: A little negro girl living on the place of Mr. 8. H. Goggans, near Vaughanville, was playing with a partially loaded shell one day last week. A spark of fire got into the shell, which exploded and blew out her eyes. She was badly burned about the face and head. THE THERMOMETER'S RECORD For the Week Ending August 26.?Observations by Mr. J. R. Schorb. l .. 1? = ' I ?

The time for sowing fall oats will soon be at hand, and it is not very long until the^ wheat will be to put in. Do you want to secure a good crop of these very important cereals? Of course you do. Do you think it is reasonable to ftTnucf ft rrrtrul viehl where the rron is nut in in a sort of tru.st-to-luck way? Now, honestly, (lo you? Don't you think that if the land is thoroughly prepared before the crop is sown the chances for a good crop are better? Experience has taught some of our farmers that thorough preparation pays, and pays handsomely. By using a Coruin Disk Harrow you can put your land in better shape and at one-fourth the expense and in one-fourth the time necessary to do the unsatisfactory work so common in this section. I am prepared to prove these statements, and offer you the testimony of real live witnesses, witnesses who are in no way, shape or form interested in the sale of the Corbin Harrow. I invite you to interview either of the following farmers: B. G. Brown, Rufus J. Davis, Geo. L. Riddle, Dr. T. W. Campbell, R. B. Youngiilood, T. N. Thomasson, William Douson, J.

Miller, William 0. Guv, John O. Darby, W. Holmes Hardin. After hearing the testimony of as many of these gentlemen as you think necessary, conie and see me and get prices and terms and leave your order for a Harrow. I will deliver it to you in time to sow your wheat and oats. If you postpone the matter, I may not able to supply you when you want a machine.

OUR RACE WITH OUR LITTLE PILE OF U00DS. ?r Eighteen months ago we commenced a Racket Store in Yorkville on a very small Scale, so much en that narfips said it Could not do any Good with THE LARGE COMPETITION IT HAD, And with Money and Friends to Back the Competition. Dobson's Racket had nothing scarcely hut Pluck and Energy, and things were fall to overflowing with that, and hence its Success. DOBSON'S RACKET commenced business about ISmonthsago witha little handfulof goods and no money to buy more, and big competition in full blast with stores full of goods. People said its no use for DOBSON to try to sell goods with that kind of a stock and' no money to,backbitn; but Dobson lent a deaf ear to all this; but must confess he was very much down in the mouth. DOBSON'S RACKET shot out its RED SIGN and proclaimed war f/\ ttio v-nifn nn hich nriees. and commenced tooting his own little horn and looking right straight ahead, attending strictly to his own business, and fighting all the combined forces that were against him at every weak point he could find, and it was not long until you could see the strongholds begin to weaken, and very soon the ranks were broken, and in a few short months the army of competitors was routed and the victory "won by DOBSON'S LITTLE RACKET placing itself in the front rank of Large Sales and Low Prices, And now it stands abreast with any DRY GOODS HOUSE IN YORKVILLE. And, now gentlemen, what placed it there? Pluck, Energy, and Fair Dealing. Parties did not trade with DOBSON because they liked him better than others, but because he sold them goods cheaper than they could buy them elsewhere ; or, at least, thev thought so, and hence THE GREAT SUCCESS OF DOBSON'S RACKET. MANY THANKS To all mankind for their liberal patronage, and it hopes to merit a continuance of the same, by low prices, good goods and fair dealing; selling to all persons at thesame prices, and selling for SPOT CASH ONLY. Now, dear friends, DOBSON'S RACKET will Soon Have In Its Pall Stock, At its usual LOW PRICES, and hopes to see all the old faces and as many new ones as possi ble.

WHAT WE HAVE DONE, i IT has been nearly ONE YEAH since we ! opened our Store with one argument only, j "The Best Goods for The Least Possible Money," j And sounded the alarm against high prices and King Credit. At first the result was so signally felt that competition looked on with wonder and amazement, and then with ridicule they whispered that we would not last long selling for CASH and would be out of the way in a short time. To meet our close-cut prices the cry of "Shoddy Goods" was raised by our competitors. Wo bore it all patiently, for the people kuew full well that the difference was in the price?not the quality. We marked our goods 1 n nlnin li#vilWAn flA Urtf nil A All 1/1 OAA t L n no in jJittiu iijjuiua ou i>uav an tuuiu ooo uuu puw| and to reveal to the trade what had always been held as secrets. We told you at the beginning to buy your goods as we did?where you could get the most for your money; that if we could not sell you cheap we were notentitled to your patronage. The time is near at hand when the tiller of a crop will know that every hill is his own, and the demon of credit will be driven from every household. WE REDUCED THE PRICE OF COATES.'S SPOOL COTTON To 4 cents per Spool, or 45 cents per dozen; we have brought the price of the best Arnoskeag "A. C. A." Ticking down from 20 cents to 15 conts per yard; North Carolina Plaids, from 7 cents to 5 cents per yard ; Yard-wide Sheeting, from 8 cents to G cents per yard; Good Prints, from 81 cents to 6i cents ; Ladies' Silk Gloves, from 35 cents to 25 cents per pair; 3-Hoop Brass-Bound Buckets, from 35 to 24 cents; Well Buckets, from 50 cents to 33 cents; Matches, one dozen boxes, 2400 matches, from 25 cents to 15 cents ; Axle Grease, from 10 cents to5cents per box, or 50 cents per dozen; Starch, from 10 cents to 5 cents per pound; MILLINERY, 25 TO 50 PER CENT. While on nearly all Dry Goods, Clothing, Hats, Shoes, Crockery, Hardware, Woodenware, etc., we have brought prices down from twenty to forty per cent, less than they were on the first of last September, yet when you go outside of these lines into Notions and Small Wares, you find that we have done you vastly more good, saving you from 50 to 100 per cent. Just think?Pins and Needles brought down from 5 cents to 1 cent per paper; Good Elastic Webbing, from'10 cents to f> cents per yard ; Lead Pencils, from 10 cents to 5 cents per dozen; Note Paper, from 10 cents to 3 cents per quire ; Envelopes, from 10 cents to 8 cents per pack, and hundreds of other articles held right down to 100 and 200 per cent, less than the price at which they were offered in this market before. We Buy Our Shoes Direct from the Manufacturers, And can always save you big money. Our stock the coming season will be large and attractive. We will appreciate a call from every one, and assure you it will be to your interest to make us a visit. FREW BROS., Rock Hill, S.C. ' August 27 35 ly FT HAPPERFIELD. UNKNOWN, IS a word of peculiar significance when it is found on the littlo headboard, designating one of the number who go to increase the size of the ever growing "city of the dead." It is a word that often causes the strong feelings of sympathizing straugers to go out in compassion for tho bones that lie under so plain and unpretentious an epitaph. Oftentimes the words are necessarily placed over these little mounds and are simply numbered, but this is the case only when the inhabitants of these "quiet little cities" are the victims of cruel war! How many uncared for mounds are there in York county to-day; mounds of beloved and devoted kindred who have gone to join the silent majority "on the other side of the river ?"

In consequence of the unsettled condition of the market we have experienced some trouble in having our orders filled, but wo are pleasod to state that we now have in stock an abundance of this very essential article, and wo havo from the medium grade to the very finest, mid onr prices are as low as anybody's, if not lower.

MAY & MAY. HYGIENIC, OR TREATMENT WITHOUT MEDICINE. ABOUT the lat of May, 1889, I had a severe attack of muscular or sciatic rheumatism, and was confined to my bed for weeks, unable to walk without the aid of crutches. I spent some time at Cleveland Springs, which greatly benefitted nio, but my suffering continued for some months, finally settling in my back and feet. I could get no medicine to remove the pains from these parts. I was advised by a ?rominent physician to try Dr. HALL'S HYIENIC TREATMENT, and ordered one of his Health pamphlets. After reading it, the treatment seemed so simple that I had no faith in it, and waited several days before trying it. I finallygave it atrial,and to my astonishment I felt relieved in twenty-four hours, and in a few days I felt like a new man. I had not had a good night's sleep in eight months; now, after using this treatment six weeks, I am entirely well, sleep soundly, have a good appetite, and"am entirely free from sick or nervous headaches, which I have always been subject to. I am so well pleased wfth the treatmeut?without drugs or medicine?that I issue this circular to suffering humanity, and do not hesitate in recommending it, and think it is as near a cure all as was ever discovered. What Others Who Have Used It Say. Fort Mill, S. C., July 23,1890. My experience in the use of Dr. Hall's Hy gienic Treatment has been highly satisfactory and I can heartily recommend the same to any person suffering from sick headache. J. E. Massey, M. D. Office ofT. S. Jefferyb, Yorkville, S. C., July 30, 1890. I am using Dr. Welford Hall's remedy in my family and am well pleased with it. T. S. Jefferys. Yorkville, S. C., July 30, 1890. It gives me pleasure to say a word in behalf of Dr. Hall's treatment?treatment without medicine. From a constant use of it for several months, I hereby testifyof much benefit derived. I shall continue to use it in my family, believing it to be indispensable. F. A. Gilbert. A LIBERAL OFFER. I am agent for the sale of Dr. Hall's Health pamphlet, and make the following liberal offer, viz.: To any one sending me $4.00, the price of the pamphlet, and putting the treatment into practice, as directed, for one month, and not satisfied with its results, on return of the pamphlet and a pledge not to use its treatment, I will refund the money.
