LETTER FROM BLACKSBURti. Correspondence of The Yorkvillc Enquirer. Blacksburo, September 16,?The month of September is usually a dry one in our latitude, and, with the exception of the heavy dews we have toward the middle and latter part of the month, there is very little moisture. This year, however, the reverse has held true, and up to the present there has been an unusually heavy rain fall, and an almost continuous dampness of the atmosphere. The farmers, of course, have had an unfavorable time for saving fodder, and the attention of many of them has been turned towards the making of sorghnm. This has become almost as much of an industry in our section as it is . in Western North Carolina. Very few of our farmers but that make enough for home consumption, and some to spare, and it is fast becoming one of the best paving crops they plant. With the improved methods of crushing the cane and evaporating the juice, the labor and trouble have been much diminished in converting it into syrup, which is not only wholesome, but pleasant to the taste, and improves remarkably with age. Everything was in readiness for the opening of the Blacksburg institute on yesterday, ex c?pi me aesKs anu senetsa ?uu iucii i^uuh was delayed by the recent accident on the R. and D. railroad. They are here though now, and will be placed in the building as soon as possible, so that the school will certainly open on the 22nd instant if not before. Bishop Howe, of the Episcopal church, will visit this place on the 28th instant and hold services and preach in the afternoon of that day, and in the morning of the 29th. He will be accompanied by Rev. J. D. McCullough, the rector of the cbnrch. Misses Ella and Pearla Crosby left hero last week for Staunton, Va., to attend the Female college at that place. The Three C's Railroad company paid their employees one month's wages yesterday, and of of course many hearts were made happy. Twenty-one car loads of steel rails for the Three C's road above Rutherford ton, were received here this morning, and bills of lading have been received for forty-nine car loads in addition to the above, which aie expected very soon. Mr. Hiram Taylor, the veteran tracklayer, leaves here-to-day for Rutherford ton, and will proceed at once to put down the rails from that point io Marion. . - " The R. and D. Railroad authorities are grading the ground for putting in an extra track and an additional platform, at their depot, in this place. Mr. Wm. Whisonant, who lives near the month of King's creek, has sold his entire home tract, of 400 acres of land, to Mr. Robert Rigney, of Brooklvn, New York. The latter gentleman bought Ae property for mining purposes, and will proceed to work it very soon. ' Mr. J. I. Secrest, while mining near here, for garnet, has four.d some fine specimens of cynaite, a beautiful blue gem, with transparent gemB across iL It is a silicate, and is used, in its natural state, in the stained windows of churches and public buildings. Work on the Augusta division of the Three C's railroad is progressing well and is being extended by placing new contractors on' the line in Newberry county. Contractors along the entire division are beiDg paid off, and the prospect is that fifty miles of the road will be completed by the 1st of January. Messrs. Black, Reese & Co. have decided to add another story and a Mansard roof to their brick hotel on Main street, which will give fifty five bed rooms in all. Mr. Perkins, architect of the Blacksbnrg Land and Improvement company, is now drawing plana for the front of the building, which will present a very handsome appearance. The oompany are now potting in their own water works to supply water by pipes to each room in the building, and for protection against fire. w. a. LETTER FROM BOCK HILL. Correspondence of The YorkviJle Enquirer. Rock Hill, September 16.?The rain has been very heavy and almost continuous since my last letter. Sunday night, just after dark, the town was visited by the heaviest rain we have had for some time. Consequently, there were many kept away from church, members as well as ministers. There were no services in any of the white charges. The farmers report cotton opening very rapidly, notwithstanding the heavy rains. Not so many bolls have rotted, and but for the rain more cotton would have been gathered in this month than for the same month in any previous year. An old offender against the peace and dignity of the town, in the person of Hyder Wylie, colored, while in the grocery store of S. Poney yesterday morning, drew the ready pistol and a dirk on Mr. Poney. Mr. S. B. Carroll, a former policeman of Yorkville, was in the store at the time, and seeing the negro intendS doing'some injury to Mr. Poney, secured e drop on the negro, who was compelled to throw down his weapons. The marshal at once arrested him. While on the way to the guard house be was very profane and resistful, causing the marshal to use his club. Mr. S. W. Sturgis, who is now 72 years old, and has been living on his present farm, a mile or two from this pace, for 60 years, says the hardest rain fell in his neighborhood on Sunday, the 7th instant, he has ever known. It has been his custom to mark iu the creek that passes through bis farm, the high water mark, after each freshet. The electric wire poles are ron going up, and the preliminary arrangements are being made in a number of business houses and dwellings. The first accident has occurred, which was the falling of a colored woman into one of the post holes, causing three of her ribs to be broken. Mr. W, J.- Koddey and his wife arrived home Saturday night from a most delightful and pleasant bridal tour, throughout the far West, taking iu California. His description of this section of our Union makes one feel like taking Horaee Greeley's advice and "Go West." Our town again on last Tuesday night had an attractive and novel exhibition in the large and spacious store room of W. L. Roddey & Co. This live firm, in order to satisfy the curiosities of the fair sex of our city and surrounding country, had their store on Tuesday night brilliantly lighted, and decorated with flowers, etc., which showed their immense store room in an attractive and beautiful manner. The cornet band dispensed sweet music during the display. The beautiful draperies of silks, satins, velvets, all kinds of aress goods, intermingled with an exhibit of notions, and the woman's delight, She elegant bonnets, bats. ribbons, plumes and flowers; while the show cases were arrayed with goods that attracted the eye of the large number present. All the salesmen took pleasure in showing the goods, but were not allowed to price or offer a piece for sale. Roddey's hall, on Thursday night, was full of our citizens to witness the play, "The Social Glass, or Victims of the Bottle." The drama was presented by the Winnsboro Amateur club, composed of young ladies and gentlemen of that town, for the benefit of the W. C. T. U. Our citizens were much pleased with the play, and especially with the manner in which the caste of characters was carried out, and welcome them back at any time. Holler <k Adams have established a large brick manufacturing establishment a short distance this side of Catawba river bridge. They also have the contract for building the town hall and graded school at Chester. ual. LETTER FROM CHESTER. Correspondence of The Yorkville Enquirer.

Blaiksville, September 10.?Tbe past week has been very unfavorable for farm work, in consequence of the excessive rains, and the farmers have made but little progress. Some farmers say that cotton is sprouting and growing in the boll, and that a great deal of the tirst planting of corn is also damaged more or less by the rains. Cotton picking is badly behind, and much of the stapfe is lying on the ground, having been beaten out by rain. A few day ago Mr. James Jenkins, of Sharon, was badly hurt while engaged in tearing down an old barn. Some falling timbers struck him, knocking him senseless, lie was found in an unconscious condition by Mr. Bud Thomas, who assisted him home. He was badly hurt, but is doing well. Walter L.

C.: Dear Sir: I have owned a Corbin Disk Harrow for several years, and consider it the most useful and economical farming implement of which I have WL1J nt4V?Ttvugu. ?*JL * VV/1 U1U UOO U VUO 1IIUI U 1U1 the farmer than all the politicians, reformers, etc., combined. He has done something practical. No farmer can fail to be benefitted by the use of the Harrow, and the more it is used the greater the benefit or profit. It is almost the only so-called improved farming implement that I have ever seen that would do all its manufacturers claimed for it, and the only one that would do more. Every farmer should have one and a man who is able to buy fertilizers for his land is more able to buy a Corbin Disk Harrow. The time will come when the Corbin Harrow will be considered as much of a necessity on the farm as the wagon, sewing machine, cooking stove, and I might say, the plow ; and the sooner it comes the better for the farmer. It only takes a farmer, who has been accustomed to the old way of doing things, about one hour to realize how much time and labor ho has literally wasted before he used the Corbin Harrow. Iu conclusion, let me say that I would not pretend to farm without it. Respectfully W. Holmes Hardin. Oar Premium Sewing Machine.

THE time to commence turning under stubble land has arrived, and if you are think, ing of turningyours, and haven't got a turning plow, or haye one, but want something better, you should look into the merits of the celebrated "Farmer's Friend Turning Plow." It will do as good work as any turning plow on , the market. It sells at half the price of that charged for the majority of other makes. The ; repairs?points, etc.?are low priced. It runs licrht. In short, it is the plow to buy because itis exactly adapted to the wants of the farmers | of this section. Orders by mail will receive prompt attention, and plows will be delivered ' on board the cars without extra charge.* I have recently received a large assortment of Axes. If you need one I shall be pleased to fix you up. I had intended to say something about my large stock of Family and Fancy Groceries, but have decided not to do so at this time, as most ( everybody in Yorkville, and for miles around, knows that my store is headquarters for these > goods, and that I keep the best of gooods and sell at prices that paralyzes competition.

J^ii you will see from reading the first four lines of this announcement, Mr. W. M. ALLISON. of the firm of A. Y. CARTWRIGHT & CO., has returned from N. Y. He was there in the capacity of buyer for the above firm, and to more thoroughly develop the system of buying anil selling goods, under which our business was first introduced to the people of York county. The Pioneer New York Racket Store is buckling on its mercantile armor and is solidifying the weaker places with rampart guns, steadfastly stationed on the great bulwark of low prices. Our defence for the great conflict will be stern, positive and real, and our competitors will have to give back before our wrath like chaff before the maddening fury of the death destroying tornado. Our ire is aroused, and it is with keen resentment that we propose to rush on and upward in defence of a business that has been denounced by competitors since our doors first creaked back on their rusty hinges and the musty scent of a closed store room was wafted into the pure air, with the word "PROGRESS" emblazoned on its stifling vapor, as it ascended to the hoavens ! With this modest, unpretentious announcement, you may be able to form only a faint conception of what you may expect us to do. Nothing short of a visit to our store will bring about a proper realization of your opportunities, and it is for you to say whether or not they shall avail. Our Clothing, Shoes and Heavy Winter Goods are now in the store, and before the season commences we will have on exhibition the results of Mr. Allison's visit to the Metropolis of the American continent.
