LETTER FROM CHESTER.
Correspondence of The Yorkville Enquirer.
Chester, September 30.?The Chester cotton
mill has now about 210 looms in operation,
making some of the prettiest cloth that I have
ever seen. The machinery is run by a 450
horse-power Corliss engine. There are" about
125 to 130 hands working in the mill. The
building is a two-story, 298 feet long by 80 feet
wide. Mr. W. F. Babcock very kindly showed
me through the entire mill and dye houses.
Mr. Nicholson has torn down his kitchen at
the rear end of his hotel, in order to rebuild on

LETTER FROM CATAWBA.
Correspondence of The Yorkville Enquirer.
Catawba, S. C., September 29.?Rain ! rain !
rain! From first to last, September has been a
Rnf nnf-withstandinc the inclem
ent weather, farmers have housed and probably
sold more of the fleecy staple in this section
during the month of September than for
several years, and eyen now the fields are white
with the mimic snow, and labor never seemed
scarcer.
The facilities for preparing cotton for mark- i
et are numerous, for along with the stationary
machinery, a portable engine run by Messrs.
Ferguson and Lineberger, and ginning at 25
cents per hundred, is furnished the farmer
right at his own cotton house.
Sugar-cane is fast becoming a staple crop
in this section, and first-class sorghum is made 1
by Mr. Lock; and aside from molasses, the 1
cane crop is largely utilized by many farmers '
as a forage crop.
Owing to the meeting of the A. R. P. presbytery,
at Wellford, there were no services at
Neely's Creek on yesterday. It seems that the
old church?perhaps one among the oldest in
the First presbytery, it being over a century
since its organization?must remain without a
shepherd for a while longer. How much longer
must these things continue?
It was my privilege to attend Sabbath-school
at Catawba, which is soon to be a chapel under
the wing of Neely's Greek session, on yesterday,
and I was struck to see onlyone man present,
while, notwithstanding the inclemency of
the weather, there were a goodly number of
Dorcases and many little boys and girls. We
learn that, when the school was first organized,
four or five months previous, there were not
less than fifty pupils enrolled. Now, hardly half
put in an appearance. Parents permit me to
say these things ought not to be so. The Sabbath-school
is the band-maid, the nursery of
the church. Remember Solomon's injunction,
"Train up a child in the way he should go."
Rev. J. 8. White preachea at Hopewell, his
regular charge, on Sabbath morning, and at the
residence of Mr. A. Hicklin, near Harmony
station, at 3 p. m., for the benefit of Mr. Hicklin's
father, the more than septuagenarian of
this sectia?. It is feared that Hopewell may
lose her shepherd, as Rock Hill the "Hub of the
Piedmont," i8 calling for his whole time. Mr.
White has been a true shepherd to the little
flock at Hopewell, and it will be a sad day to
the congregation when they must relinquish
their claims on him.
On themorningof the22d, I was hastily summoned
to the residence of Mr. H. M. Lineberger
to assist in performing the last sad services
for Mrs. Shuke, an elderly lady acting as
nurse to Mrs. Lineberger, who was confined to
a sick bed. Mrs. Shuke retired in usual health
thO' previous night, but on rising next morning
complained of feeling bad, and in a few
minutes, while reclining in a rocker in Mrs.
Lineberger's room, she passed into the spirit
world.
x(iaoX(!nnta pMi'tr naaiutant in the Catawba
postoffice, was quite sick on yesterday.
Mrs. J. M. Williford, who "has been afflicted
with typhoid fever for five or six weeks, is
still quite sick.
Mrs. Bunk White, who has been quite ill,
with the same affliction, for the pastnine weeks,
still continues in a critical condition.
Mr. Wm. Fudge, of Edgemoor congregation,
who was stricken with paralysis on the 10th instant,
is improving slowly.
Miss Rose Patton, principal of Leslie's academy,
was at her home from Friday till Monday.
She tells me her school is still flourishing notwithstanding
the busv season of cotton piling,
which fact speaks well for the interest manifested
by the patrons of Leslie in the cause of
education. Let other communities, "Go and
do likewise."
Mr. T. W. Hayes, who has had charge of the
Roddey academy for the past season, leaves for
Huntersville to-day where he goes to prepare
for college.
Mr. Jno. Faris, who was up before Trial Justice
Whyte on Saturday, charged with shooting
into the residence of JelfWylie, colored,
gave bond for his appearance* at the Fall
term of court.
Mr. Brown Ferguson will ship a car load of
cattle from the Junction on to-morrow, u. it.
LETTER FROM ROCK HILL.
Correspondence of The Yorkville Enquirer.
Rock Hill, September 30.?The weather
makes one wish for an overcoat, and has caused
the merchants to place them on exhibition
with tho waterproof coats and rubber goods.
The farmers continue to report the cotton
bolls rotting, and are auxious to have fair
weather in order to gather their crops.
On Thursday last, between 2 and 3 o'clock
in the afternoon, the cry of fire was raised.
The flames were soon seen by the fire department
and citizens, coming through the roof of
the large frame stable of Mr. John Ratteree on
Railroad street. The fire department and citizens
responded promptly, but before the tiro
was discovered, the flames had made such
headway in the stable that their ellbrts to save
it were seen to be futile, and they at once went
to work saving adjoining property. The building
was a total loss. Also the provender.
Tho vehicles and harness were saved, butsomewhat
damaged. The fire is supposed to have
been caused by the carelessness of some boys
in making a hre in a stove, the flue of which
had been removed. The insurance on building
was $500, and on provender and harness,
$500. Messrs. Neely Fewell also occupied
the stable in their livery business, and had a
number of buggies and wagons in addition to
their stock of horses, all of which were saved.
Their loss is nominal.
Mr. John R. Allen had the misfortune of
havin&r his foot seriously cut on Wednesday
last, by accidentally coining in contact with a
mowing machine, on his farm, near town.
Physicians were at once summoned and rendered
necessary assistance, and he is doing as
well as could be expected.
All the old oil lamps are being removed from
the streets. It was expected that the electric
light would have been in force Saturday night,
but the wet weather hindered the workmen.
They hope to light us up this week.
Mr. Joseph Miller, an old and respected citizen
and farmer, of Ebenezer township, died on
Friday last, aged 67 years, and was interred
in Ebenezer cemetery Saturday afternoon
in the presence of a number of friends.
A number of our yards have been robbed of
hot house plants, that were placed on stands
in the yard.
Mr. L. D. Childs, who has recently received
the nomination for the legislature from KichlancLcounty,
was in town Friday looking after
his business interests here.
Commencing on October 6th, a series ofservioes
will be held in the Episcopal church,
morning and night. A number of ministers
have been invited and signified their intention
to be present. The bishop, Rt. Rev. \V. It. \V.
Howe, will be in attendance on Sunday, the
v 12tb, and administer the rite of confirmation.
The Rock Hill Land and Town Site company
have organized and received their chartor.
Hon. W. B. Wilson was elected president; R.
T. Fewell, vice-president; J. M. Cherry, secretary
; W. L. Roddey, treasurer.
It will be remembered by the readers of Tiif.
Enquirer, that a company has been organized
to develop, improve and locate town lots in the 1
vicinity of Rock Hill, bordering the old town ;
of Ebenezer, which we soon hope to add and i
be connected with us. The lands all having J
been secured, the company will lay out lots
and at once prepare foran electric ralway leading
there.
The ladies of the Episcopal church gave a
dime party and musicale at tno residence of Mr.
John R. Loudon, on Friday night last.

LETTER FROMTSTON COUNTY.
Corresi>ondence of The Yorkville Enquirer.
Etta Jane, September 28.?Miss Bonnie
McCluney, and her brother Frank, who are
groat, great grandchildren of Rev. Joseph Alexander,
D. D., have been selected by the committee
of arrangements to unveil his monument
at Bullock's Creek on the 16th of October.
A difficulty occurred in the upper part of
this county last week among some of the railroad
contractors and their employees, which
resulted in the wounding of Zeb Dalton for
resisting arrest. The facts, as I have them, are
in brief as follows: Dalton, who had been in
the employ of Keunedv <fc Bardett, as foreman,
claimed about $75 or ?80 for his services, ini-j?
-reoi l.o n.nt frnrn .Tnhrt k'pn -
dueling acwimui ud ...? _
nedy, on said firm. Without making a settlement
with tho firm, Dalton went to their commissary
and with threats and other demonstrations
against the protestation of the clerk, proceeded
to take goods to tho amount of his
claims, at prices below cost, and hauled the
same to a house he had rented from John Kennedy.
This naturally led to the issuing of a
warrant by J. L. Strain, trial justice, for Dalton's
arrest, which resulted in his being shot
for resisting it. Mr. John Kennedy, who, it
appears, was present when Dalton took the
goods from the commissary of Kennedy &
Bardett, was also prosecuted for complicity
in this affair, but the case against him was
withdrawn by the prosecutor before the trial
justice had concluded the preliminary hearing.
J. C. Jefferies, Esq., of Gaffney City,
represented John Kennedy. Dalton, who in
the meantime was too badly wounded to be
brought into court, was removed or concealed,
and hasn't yet been apprehended. The goods
have mostly been recovered.
Those acquainted with the circumstances
hereinbefore stated may, and many of them no
doubt do, sympathize with Mr. Dalton in this
affair, but the circumstances are such that the
law caunot afford to be outraged as he was doing
to get what was due him. To allow such to
go unchecked is to cultivate a spirit of communism
and anarchy among our people.
The weather is Btill unfavorable for farm
work, and cotton is rotting in the field. Some
of onr people are working up their molasses.
The yield of this, crop, as compared with lormer
years, is about the same.
Mr., William Strain is quite unwell. With
one or two exceptions he is the oldest person I
know of in this section of the county.
Rev. Mr. Boily preached at Abingdon Creek
yesterday from John iii, 5. He also baptized
four converts.
We hope the ladies will turn out next Sunday
with well filled baskets and make our Sundayschool
convention a feast of edibles as well as
of thoughts and good works. sigma.

A Ray of Light.
It is said that there is a bright side to every
picture. The farmers of the Southern States
have seen the dark side of avery disagreeable
looking picture during the past fortnight or
more, and have not even had a glimpse of the
bright side. Rain has fallen in large quantities
and the cotton and corn crops have been
greatly damaged. Very little hay has been
saved, few peas have been gathered, and the
sowing of fall oats, up to this time, has not been
attended to in a very great measure, and the
outlook generally seems to be pretty blue. Of
course there will be a change, and we hope it
may come very soon. The sun will come out
and shine as brightly as ever, and then the
cotton and corn and peas can be gathered.
But what about the small grain crops ? Where
is the time for sowing them to be found ? Now,
I am going to tell you something, and if you
are wise you will heed what I say. If you
want to sow wheat and oats, and do it better
and in one-fifth the time and at one-fifth the
expense of the ordinary way of sowing, you
should, without a moment's delay, buy a Corbin
Disk Harrow. You can put in your small
grain at the rate of six to eight acres a day,
on any kind of land, and it only requires the
services of two mules and one man to do the
work. How many men and mules will it take
to bow eight acres in a day by the ordinary
plan ? Take your pencil and a piece of paper
and calculate the difference in cost, and you
need not count the time saved by using the
harrow, as being worth a cent, if you don't
want to. Just count the actual cost of the two
plans. Every farmer who has ever put in
grain with a disk harrow says it that cannot be
done half so well with a plow as with a disk
harrow, and there is not a shadow of a doubt
as to the truth of the assertion. Every harrow
sold by me is warranted to give entire satisfaction.

W. c. LATIMER.
MR. UPRIGHT PAYS HIS ACCOUNT
And Talks Abont Prompt Payment and
Other Bnsiness Habits.
tt^lOOD morning, MR. LATIMER," said
Or MR. UPRIGHT as lie entered "The Bazaar"
last Saturday morning.
Whereupon Mr. Latimer stepped forward
with a happy good morning, and oxtonded his
hand saying, "Can we show you anything in
our line, or serve you in any way ?"
"Well, I don't know that I care to buy anything
to-day," said Mr. Upright, "but for the ,
past three weeks I have noticed in your advertising
column of the The Yorkville Enquirer,
a paragraph asking customers to call
and 'settle their account in part or in full?that ,
you need money'; and I thought as I would be j
here to-day, anyhow, I would come round and j
S01UO Up, lor X Blippusw j'uu iiucu tuui_ivj i
sionally just as other people do, and I am certain
that I needed tho goods when I asked for
the accommodation last Spring ; and now I am
going to settle my account and express my appreciation
of your kindness. I want a receipt
in full?no half way business in mine. I would
pay you the entire account, if I had to ask you
for goods on account next week ; but I don't
think that will be the case, as I have a small
bank account and have plenty of moat and
breadstuff at homo to do me a long timo. If I
want any more goods, and you have what I
want?and you usually have everything a man
or woman could desire?it shall be you who
shall have the preference of my money. Why,
Mr. Latimer, you were the only man that
would accommodate me in the Spring, and I apfreciato
it; and besides I went all round and
found that you were selling your goods on
time as low as any cash firm, and by buving
from you I got them cheaper than I could Lave
obtained them by borrowing money at interest
and paying cash. I tell you I appreciate your
accommodation and kindness to me, but there
are many who consider it as a matter of course,
and think because they have a long bank account
and plenty of property about them, that
their account is better than their money. Today,
011 my road up here, I overtook a friend
and neighbor and I told him that my business
in town was to settle-with you, and he said
that he owed you a note of $47.00 from last
year and an account of $77.00 this year, and he
aid not expect to go in your store; in fact, he
said that he didn't think you had what he need
ed. I told him that I thought his way of doing
business was unappreciative, and that he might
at least inspect your stock, and he said there
was no sentiment in business, to which I replied
'No I didn't believe there was ; butthero
was an over-abundance of rascality,' and he
whipped his horBe and drove on."
"Well, Mr. Upright, I am much obliged to
you for your promptness," said Mr. Latimer.
"Many of our customers have settled their accounts?in
fact our collections have been unusually
good so far this fall; they are much
better than their have been for several years,
but I may desire to overhaul my business in
January, and I expect to close everything up
to the handle. I don't mind carrying customers
for five or six months on a small profit, but
I am unable to indulge my friends for years.
My cash business during the summer was very
satisfactory, though it was lighter than I anticipated,
consequently I had been, up to the
first of September, rather cramped for money.
Our cash sales are increasing every, day and
'everything will come out right in the wash.'
As to where people spend their money, even
if thfey have accounts with me, I have nothing
to say; it's their privilege."
"Yes, Mr. Latimer," said Mr. Upright, "that
is very true, but it is not their money if they
owe it to you or any one else?it's a crime
to betray confidence in such a manner; and
sir, I tell you that it should be treated as
SUCO. It blllUUliUS LU ttimuab l^lUK nnu lo^giyleg
goods undor false pretences, and suppose
you don't meet your bills when they are due?
Why, you will hear something drop !"
"Yes, that may be true to a certain extent,"
replied Mr. Latimer, "looking through your
spectacles ; but they may think I don't need
the money and that I can wait."
"Mr. Latimer, you know as well as I do,
that no honest, well-meaning, business man,
thinks any such stuff as that, and it makes me
as mad as a wet hare to hear anyone say that;
and besides it's none of their business whether
you need the money or not, if it is due. It is
Iheir duty to pay it. I wish you would put
that bombshell advertisement in the paper that
you printed last fall. Itbroughtpeopleto their
senses and made them think."
"I don't think that our space will admit it
this week, but if we can find a copy of the
paper containing it, you shall see it in our next
advertisement. Say Mr. Upright, can't wo sell
you a nice Overcoat?"
"No, I believe not."
"Well, let us show you one anyhow. Come
this way. Now here is a first-class Overcoat
and it is just your number ; what do think it is
worth ?"
"Well, ordinarily it would sell for 822.00 I
judge. What do you ask for it ?"
"Just sixteen dollars."
"What? Is that all! Wrap it up."
"We will sell you goods as cheap as you can
buy them anywhere. Look out for "our great
bankrupt" advertisement next week."
"All right. Good day, sir."
Respectfully, W. C. LATIMER.

DOBSON'S RACKET
The Key-Note of Low Prices that We
Sounded last week seems to have
reached the ears of a large
Number of Persons
Wanting to Pnrchase
Goods.
THE LARGE TRADE WE HAD
During the past week looks like December
trade. Prices will tell. You ought
to see the sad faces of persons
who Bought their Goods before
Getting Dobson's
Prices. When they
HEAR THE PRICE AND SEE THE GOODS,
One will exclaim to another, "I wanted yon to
Come here Before yon Bought. See
What you Lost by not
Coming!"
JUST look at DOBSON'S 68 cents Corset?
just as good or better than mine that 1 paid
J 75 cents for. It is the best Corset in Yorkville
* for 68 cents. Oh! Jennie, see this 60 cents onejust
as good a Corset as tnine, and I bad to pay
60 cents ; and, oh ! Mary, look at this Duplex
Corset, and these Nursing and Abdominal
Corsets; how much cheaper than those we
priced. See this Trunk?they asked me SOcents;
here it is, just the same, for 35 cents. I told
you
To Come to Dobson's Racket.
Yes, and did you see that Man's Hat that they
said was so cheap at $1.00 ? Here is a better one
for 98 cents; and, Jane, did you notice the Jeans
-VIA OK nArttci PAH 9 Hnro I a onm o_

thing that will wear just as long at I65 cents.
Can't fool this chicken. I know some things.
Did you see DOBSON'S 40-inch wide Cashmere
at 49 cents ; the prettiest thing I ever saw. He
has nice Cashmere at 27 cents. Did you see his
49 cents Umbrella ; beats all Umbrellas I ever
saw at that price.
Now as Regards Clothing.
I saw the cheapest PANTS, COATS and
VESTS at DOBSON'S RACKET that I ever
saw anywhere. SHOES?Why, Johnny, he
downs them all. His Ladies' Shoes at 75 cents
and $1.00 can't be touched in quality in Yorkville.
Oh ! Mrs. Quackinbosh, dia you see
DOBSON'S LINE OF JEWELRY? It is pretty
and so cheap. Now, Nancy, ain't Mrs. DOBSON'S
DRESS GOODS the prettiest and cheapest
you ever saw, and just see how they are
selling. I was in there on Saturday, and the
, ladies were just waiting for Mrs. DOBSON to
wait on them next, and while waiting I saw her
sell, just in a short time,
$25.00 Worth of Dress Goods,
and was still selling when I left. No telling
how much she did sell during the day, and all
the rest were busy, too. Mrs. DOBSON certainly
has the PRETTIEST MILLINERY in
Yorkville, and the largest stock, and there is
no question about its being the cheapest. Her
I
Racket Prices Tell Every Time.
Almost all the brides go there to get their OUT'

Mrs. DOBSON is so well* posted. She goes to

THE GREAT SECRET
HOW TO SAVE MONEY!
THE road to fortune is strewn with difliculties.
How to lessen them and still attain
the desired end is the subject of deep and anxious
thought. Some men are content to plod
along in their old-fashioned way of buying
goods on time, from year to year, and accumulate
by long and arduous toil, wbat other men
can accomplish in much less time. The bright
and active farmer, with cash in his hand, is always
on the lookout for opportunities, and who
is quick to take advautage of them, is the successful
man in our day. The American nation
is renowned for this faculty, and has justly
made its name all over the world. Men are
free and equal in this country. There can be
no limit to man's ambition. The plow boy of
to-day has as fair a chance of becoming wealthy
as the railroad king who rides in his palace car.
Fash, Pluck, Energy and Enterprise
Are what is needed. Money is the lever which
moves the world. Of course, the knowledge
of how to make it legitimately and honeatly, is
sought by all. When a man is free of debt and
has money in his pocket, he can then blow the
loudest horn, buy cheap and pop his fingers;
where be once bent his form in humble submission
to a time system, under lien or mortgage,
and liable to be sold out lock, stock and
barrel, if he did not come to the rack and settle
up for goods charged at
FROM 50 TO 100 PER CENT. PROFIT.
To get square is to be your own man. Then if
you will proceed independently and pay the
money down you are on the road to prosperity.
Your dollar does double duty when it buys
good goods cheap. It is our business to give
THE MOST FOR YOUR MONEY.
This season we shall give greater values for
every dollar that passes over our counters than
ever before. You have boen in the habit of
going or sending to one place for your goods.
Did you eyer stop to think what a saving you
might make by trying some one else. We have

IT has been our pleasure and privilege for
the past two years to practically control the
DRUG BUSINESS TRIBUTARY TO THIS
MARKET, and as the busy season approaches,
and with our increased facilities for Dandling
the lion's share of the drug business, we cordially
invite our friends to call on us when they
are in the city, and make themselves at home.
We have recently added to our store fixtures
the most beautiful and most convenient
Prescription Counter
Ever brought into the State, and it certainly
is the most beautiful piece of store furniture
ever brought to this section. We did not buy
it because it was stylish, but we bought it in
order that we might be better prepared to wait
on our daily growing business, which is being
drawn from the very best people in the Piedmont
section. Through the mails and by express
we do business, and with all classes and
conditions of mankind, and the reputation and
reliability of our house for ACCURACY IN
FILLING PRESCRIPTIONS IS GROWING
EVERY HOUR! No establishment in York
county, no matter in what business it is engaged,
strives harder
TO GAIN PUBLIC FAVOR
Than we; and while the road to success, in any
business, is rough and crooked and hard to
travel, we have accomplished much and we are
determined to accomplish much more. Consider
the disadvantage under which we arose
and the high and exalted position we now
hold, against old established businesses with
credit and cash to back them ; with prestige, and
influential friends to give them strength
and vigor, and it will not require a Solomon
to point out the hundreds of crushed obstacles
which laid in our path.
But we are not now working in tbe past, it
is tbe present and for tbe future. It is onr
friends to whom we look for patronage, and it
is from them that we get it. We haye enmity
at no man, and we expect to continue our
business on tbe
Merit and the Reputation
Won by care, judgment and experience.
Our Tinctures and Drugs are always pure, and
we compound prescriptions as cheaply as the
ingredients will admit of.
During the pastr year, aside from Paints and
Oils, our Drug business has grown wonderfully.
We are selling goods to customers who
aid not deign to darken our doors ; but they
have by experience learned where to buy their
medicines, and they now declare that they are
with us, henceforth and forevermore, simply
because they like our fair, square and consistent
treatment of all men.
PATENT MEDICINES.
Talk about Patent Medicines and we are with
you. We keep them. We sell them. We carry
everything of any note from Winslow's
Soothing Syrup up to Fellow's Hvpophosphite.
In fact, we keep every Patent Medicine, Pill
and Compound manufactured in this country,
provided it has enough merit to make a demand.
We have the Black Compound Cathartic
Pills, which is the only reliable black pill
manufactured in the United States. We have
Radwav's Pills, and Cook's, and Tutt's, and
more than one thousand other kinds.
This Can't be Painted Out!
Only a short while ago we accepted the agencv
for the ECKSTINE WHITE LEAD, and
we commenced calling the attention of the
public to that meritorious article through this
paper, and it has about supplanted all other
grades and qualities of Leads and Paints, and its
durability is a positive assurance. Look at the
priming of L. Geo. Grist's residence?just one
coat remember?and put there a year ago, and
ask him what he thinks about it. It is cheaper,
better, more durable than any paint ever
brought to this market?a fact that other paints
can't cover up ; and the company controlling
this brand or paint is iust as good for their
obligations as the Bank of England is for a
ginger snap, and they offer an ounce of gold
for every ounce of adulteration therein contained.
Very Respectfully, MAY & MAY.

TIME TO BECIN.
THE time to commence turning under stubble
land has arrived, and if you are thinking
of turningyours, and baven'tgot a turning
piow, or haye one, but want something better,
you should look into the merits of the cele?
brated "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
light. In short, it is the plow to buy because
it is exactly adapted to the wants of the farmers
of this Bection. 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.
