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.

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. hal. 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.

Special JJofircs. Preaching at Enou. There will be preaching at Enon church next Sunday afternoon, 5th instant, at 3.30 o'clock. R. Q. Patrick. 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. Sam M. Grist, Sole Agent. October 1 40 tf *^>6bituary. Died?At Tilacksburg, S.

L. A. JOHNSON, County School Commissioner. October 1 *40 It 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. f7 happekfiel<i>7 THE "BOB WHITE" PLOW.

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!"

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 on oloftanf of Aolr flit a aoa ann anrl uu uiugnuv ovwn vuto dowjuu} umv?

Fired Straight from the Right Shoulder. GILT EDGE FACTS That no Unbiased, Observing Man Will Attemnt to Denv. r , - _ ? 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. i 11 li m hTK 9M MM.9 m-r M-mm-Mm 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.
