P ' r\ ~ imp FROM ROCK HILL. p:>ifcMpoh<$eQfB ft the YorkvlBe Enquirer. i ioCl$ RU-i, -January ?7.?On Thursday pisf at f y'oJcHtk a. ta.j guy town was thrown mto .great excitement' over tie sudden disappearance from his home of one of our most loved, useful and generous citizens. Rev. Jas. S. White. So soon as the feet that Mr. Whit e was missing became noised abroad, a large number of neighbors and friends who had been aroused from their beds by the alarming news, instituted .a vigilant. search. The wbdlc} country was scouted for miles around, aaHfsameof the searchers even went as far as Hopewell church, thinking that possibly Mr. White had gone to that place, i 'At length it was suggested to look into a water tank which stands in Mr. White's yard at the top of a sixty foot tower. The ladder was ascended and the dead body of the missing minister was found floating in the water. ffclVl UIH> ' THE IWJUE8T. An inquest was held over the body on last Thursday, Trial Justice J. J. Waters acting as coroner, and the following named gentlemen serving as jurors :J. < Wm. Whyte, fore- j man; J. M. Sadler, F. O. London, J. F.J Workman, Samuel L. Reid, R. A. Morrison, R. H. Hope, J. W. Ferguson, D. P. Steele, I. j Simpson, J. J. Hagans, Frel Mobley. Only two witnesses were examined?George D. White, a son of the deceased?and June Massey. ,'m, ,; } ! f j < Mr. White's testimony, as reported by the coroner, is as fbllows: George D. White being sworn, says that "his father, Rev. J. S. White, had been in bad health for some time. Up to 12 o'clock last j night, nothing else seemed wrong with him. I was awakened about 1 o'clock by his get* ting up and attempting to put on his clothes. rented up for a few minutes and then ' went to bed again. About 2.30 o'clock I was again awakened by his putting on his clothes. Before going to the door he told mother he > was going to unlock it. I heard him go to the back door and unlock it. I was in an adjoining room. He came to my room to put on his clothes. I ran to the door as he was going down the steps and asked him where he was going, but he made no reply. I went back to my own room, dressed, and then went out into the yard and called him, but received no response. I took a lamp anA ,^ent to his studio, which I found unlocked, but he was not in. I then went into the lot. still calling, without getting a response: It was raining at the time. I then went for my uncle, Mr. A. H. White. "Father had been nervous for several days, and' we all thought that there was some-1 ?*.r? ?!?v T V...,1 nav<lr lukug wivmi^ nivm uw nmm. a mv.v. , beard him intimate any violence to himself. Abont five minutes elapsed after he went out I into' the yard until I followed. He was familiar with the arrangement of the tank in the yard and I have seen him climb the steps leading up to It. The tank has a cover which may be slided apart. My father went out into the yard one night the latter part of the week, about 5 o'clock in the morning. Myself and brother followed. He did not say why he went out. I followed him because I feared that he might have intended to kill himself. He has seemed wrong in his mind for about a week. He complained of his head hurting him last night. Eight or ten years ago he was in bad health, being similarly affected as recently, and he then said something about killing himself." The testimony of June Massey is reported as follows: "Went to the yard of Rev. J. S. White, to assist in hunting for him. When 1 got there Mr. 8am Reid and Mr. W. L. Roddey were standing nearly opposite the tank. Mr. Reid asked me to go up to the tank. I went up, and about middle ways up, I discovered some mud. When I got to the top I found the right hand lid pushed to one side considerably, and the left hand lid slightly. A ladder extends into the tank. I first caught hold of it. It was dark in the tank. I saw something that looked like an oil cloth floating on top. I told Mr. Reid, and he told me to be sure what it was. I caught hold of it and found that it was Mr. White's body. His head was northwest. He had on his hat, which had been pulled tight over his head. He was lying face downward. The water was up to within a foot of the lid. The ladder in the tank extends to the bottom. The body was floating in a stooping position with legs extended downward. When found, about 7.30 o'clock this morning, the body was under the right hand cover. Dr. T. A. Crawford being sworn, says he "examined the body of Rev. J. S. White and found him dead. I found his stomach and chest filled with water and there was every indication that death had been produced by drowning. There were no indications of violence. In my opinion the deceased came to his death by drowning." In'the light of the above facts, the verdict of the fury was as follows: "We, the undersigned jurors, do say that the Rev. J. S. White came to his death by drowning in a water tower tank in his yard." THE FUNEEAL. The funeral services were held at the Presbyterian church -on Friday evening at 8.50 p. m. Every business house and office in .the town, as Well as all the churches and the library had been draped in mourning, { and Masons, school children and citizens all .attended the burial, wearing badges of crape. I Alter appropriate services the remains were carried to the cemetery and laid to rest. The procession that followed the corpse to the cemetery was the longest ever seen in our town. ? It was beaded by 800 school children. The trustees of the school came next, then-tbo Masonic order, the session of ^tto-ehageh, and a large number of white and colored' citizens.v The following minister acted as pall beared: Revs. p."Harrison, W.

Mt: James Spratt White was born of ScotchIrish parentage, in Rock Hill, on the 4th day of July, 1841. His early educational training was received In the community from Moore, Taylor, Whyte and J. M. White. He entered the sophomore class of. the South Carolina college in the fall of 1859, but left college in his senior year and joined the Confederate army March, 1862, and served continuously until the surrender at Appomattox. After the war he attended the lectures of Dr. McGulfey, of the University of Virginia, up to 1867, but in that year, having resolved to enter upon the ministry, he entered the Seminary at Columbia and graduated in 1871. His first charge was in Americus, Ga., where he remained until the early part of 1884, when he received a call to Pleasant Grove and Catholic churches in Chester county. While in charge of these churches his health broke down, and he was forced to give them up. His next regular charge was Hopewell church, to which he gave half his time and devoted the remainder to missionary work, preaching to vacant churches in Bethel presbytery-. Last year he was chosen by the session of the Presbyterian church of this place to perform chapel work in the town of Rock Hill, and has continued in the discharge of that duty up to the time of his death. He was a member of Ebenezer church, which he joined in 1856, under the ministry of Rev. John G. Richards. He was married in 1873 to Miss Caroline u. i Dudley, who, with three sons and one daugh-1 ter, survives him. During the few days previous to his death, 3Tr. White was knowu to be in very poor health, and on Tuesday night he tendered his resignation to the session of his church. The session, however, refused to accept it, but instead gave him a vacation until October next. A BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE. In his lecture to the gentlemen of Rock Hill on "High Aims in Life," on Friday night, Mr. Lon J. Beauchamp paid the following tribute to Rev. Mr. White: To-day we were lace to face with the old, old fashioned death. But as we stood by the pathetic clay of one we loved, we yet could say : Thank God for that older fashion yet of immortality. There is no death for one who entefft the Shadowed Valley of Rest by way of righteousness. That way life lies. Death cometb only through sin. For one like the friend we laid lit rest in the Silent City to-day, the great change unwise men call death is only the folding of the hands for a little while in sleep, and then an awakening into all the glories of that land where, bless God, all our dreams shall come true. For such a man as James S. White there is 110 death. The star that sets to-night upon the farther shores of this sleeping world, wul rise brighter tomorrow upontne borders of a country we may not see; and so the soul of a good man aits by the way called death* on .the nearer shores! of tilue, only to ri? glorified on a brighter morroHhao this WorldVaaktt bw on the strands of that River pt' IJtfe. flowing by the great white ilhfohe jpf ,Gddi 3ubh,.-a Uie as,, that of Bev. James S. white is a blessed nehtnge to any people; a weightier, worthier gift to any community than towering monument of marble, public inst itut ion, or (treat oommercial enterprise. Such an example followed by us all will open, not only the gates that lead into every avenue of possible woraly success, but likewise those gates of Jasper and of gold that lead into the Country of the Immortals. While our brother has gone from us, not to death, but to life, let us thank God for the privilege of having known him, and walking as he walked, be ready to meet him where heartaches and separations are unknown." OTHER MATT5; RS. Mr. Charles W. F. Frew was married on last Wednesday night to Mi s Ella Tollinger. The ceremony was perfor led by Rev. W. M. Anderson, in the preseu e of a large number of the friends of the i e ppy couple. After the ceremony the gueijts ,wei^ served a sumptuous repast. Mr. aha Mrs. Frew were the recipients of a large number of hand-1 some presents. The directors of the First National Bank have decided to increase their capital stock to $75,000. It is now $50,000. Mr. W. J. Caveny, of this place, and Miss j A. M. Cunningham, were married on the 14th instant, Rev. E. O. Watson officiating. A wagon belonging to Mr. Thomas A. Barron was demolished a few days ago by a IC. C. and A. train, at the White crossing. The driver was knocked off the wagon, but | sustained no serious injuries. Col. T. B. Demaree and Mr. Lon J. Beauchamp, who have been conducting a crusade against intemperance in this place, for the past ten days, have met wiith much success. The lectures have been of the highest order, and the good work done is clearly proven by the large number, more than 300, who have manfully walked forward: and signed the pledge to abstain from the intoxicating cup. Messrs. Beauchamp and Demaree leave here I to-day for other fields. They carry with them the best wishes of all our citizens. Trial Justice Waters performed his first marriage ceremony last week, and it is said that he was more excited than either the bride or groom. Rev. W. B. Jennings, former pastor of the First Presbyterian church, filled his old pulpit on last Sunday morning and night. He is now pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Macon, Ga., and was here to be present at the fiineral of Rev. J. 8. White. HAL. LETTER PROM' CHESTER. Correspondence cf The Yorkrjtle Enquirer. Chester, January 26.?Mr. Joseph Cobb and wife, of Lincolnton, passed through here on the 20th instant, on their way to East Florida. They will be absent about two months. The hack business has grown to be quite an important industry in this town. fYom the large number that make, or are trying to make, a living by carrying passengers to and from the various depots, it would appear that the town is the centre of an extraordinary amount of travel. Mr. G. Dawson Heath is quite ill with pneumonia. He has been down since the the 17th instant. Mrs. Patience Stokes, an aged lady living on Gadsden street, has been quite unwell for the past few weeks. Her trouble is supposed to be a general giving away upon the approach of old age. A force of about fifty hands has been put to work at Lockhart's shoals, on Broad river, cleaning out the old can al and clearing up a site preparatory to the erection of a big cotton mill at that place. Col. Joseph Walker, of Spartanburg, and Mr. C. D. Farrar, of Union, are at the head of the enterprise which is to be known as the Lockart Shoals Manufacturing company. The capital stock of the company is be somewhere between $500,000 and $1,000,000. It is said that about $600,000 has already been paid in, and the balance can be readily obtained so soon as it may be needed. Arrangements are now being perfected for making brick at the shoals, and it is expected that the whole work will be pushed forward with such vigor that the mill will be in operation on or before the | first day of next January. All the wonderftil power of Lockhart's Shoals falls once developed along, the banks of Broad river will be the site of a manufacturing town of at least three or four thousand inhabitants. Miss Linney Smyre, who has been quite ill with typhoid fever, is convalescent. Including Miss Linney, there have been five cases of typhoid fever in Mr. Smyre's family. vMiss Alice Summerow, of Newton, N. C., with her brother Lee, arrived here last Wednesday evening on a summons to the sick bed of their sister, Mrs. S. D. Hinsou. Miss Lillie Williford, of Concord, N. C., is here on a visit to the family of Mr. W. A. Carpenter. Mrs. W. H. Elliott, of Concord, N. C., is j here on a visit to her mother-in-law, Mrs. I JJlliW'V* LETTER PROM*3LACKSBUR6. Correspondence of The Yorkvllle Enquirer Blackbburg, January 27.?While snow storms, blizzards, and ioe Roods prevail north, east and west of us, an i telegraph and telephone wires are blown down, trains blocked, property destroyed, and much consequent suffering for both man and beast, we of the Sunny South are enjoying the most delightful weather, bright, crisp, frosty mornings, and warm genial days. Why our uorthern neighbors are content to dwell in a climate where they are yearly subjected to so many discomforts, inconveniences and expenses, when they could better their condition in so many ways by moving south only a few hundred miles, is a problem that seems to me difficult of solution. I suppose, following the usual perverse course of human nature, if we didn't want them here, they would be anxious to come; but since we do want them, with all their thrift and wealth, they are slow to embrace all the advantages we are ready to lavish upon them. If they do not come voluntarily, the force of circumstances will bring a great many of them, for already they are feeling the effects of the production of iron and the manufacture of cotton in the South, and they will be compelled to move their furnaces and mills to our ore beds and cot ton fields, and wise is the man who realizes now the wonderful revolution that is at work in our country and takes advantage of it. The meeting held at the graded school on Friday afternoon last for the purpose of deciding whether a special levy should be made for school purposes in this district for another year, was well attended. Fifty were in favor of the additional tax, and thirtyfour opposed, and it was then decided by an almost unanimous vote to make the levy four mills. The school is under excellent management, and its prospects for another year are of the brightest. I am safe in saying that no other graded school in the State possesses better facilities for instruction, and taking board, health, moral surroundings, etc., into consideration, no place offers greater advantages for educating children than Blacksburg. The Cherokee Falls Manufacturing company are prospecting for iron ore on their land near Broad river, and the prospect is a good quality of ore and an abundance of it. Mr. R. P. Roberts leaves this afternoon on a business trip to Philadelphia. The old frame livery stable which stood to the rear of the Iron City Hotel has been removed, and the space, for the present, will be used for a stock lot. W. A. LETTER FROjiTuXION COUNTY. Correspondence of The Yorkvllle Enquirer. Etta Jane, January 26.?Last week our community was excited by the sudden appearance of a so-called uiad dog which bit several dogs in the neighborhood and made its way across to the south side of Thickety creek, and escaped public indignation. The rains last week came in bad time for those of our farmers who have a remnant of their cotton crop to haul off yet. Xotwith standing the exaggerated reports, the crops I in this section are not far ahead of former years, and we can find no excuse for its being so low in price, except it he 011 account of the damage it sustained last fall by the wet weather. Mr. Wm. Strain is visiting his daughter. Mrs. Isabella Horn, at Pacolet mill. (.'apt. Noble, the local engineer on this part j of the Augusta division of the Three C's railroad, made a visit to this part of his work I week before last. Like all others who have hud anything to do with the work, he is i unable to decide what will he the future of the road. Several eases of niuinps are reported in j the Wilkinsville neighborhood. Rev. J. I). : Bailey, the teacher ut Abingdon Creek had i to suspend his school last week on account I of the epidemic. I Miss Sallia Bighain. our new teacher, has | a good school and her scholars are muking i all the advancement they could be expected j to do for the short time she has been in I charge of the school. The series of books m\WWV VMWWBWW WW?h?M? ' ' - adopted by the school boards are somewhat difficult to get as they are needed. We |have no book stores convenient where' these books are kept. Our board of education have no doubt adopted the best books in the market for the schools, but they have opened a grand opportunity for the formation of "book trusts/' which no doubt the publishers are taking advantage of. The North Pacolet Sabbath-school convention will meet at Messopotamia church next Sabbath, 1st proximo. In point of numbers and interest, our Sabbath-school was never in a better working condition than at present. While some of our neighbor schools are now in "winter quarters,", others are keeping up their organization, despite the inclement weather and muddy roads. sigma. ? At Greenville, on last Saturday, two negroes, Yancey Latimer and Felix Logan, got into a difficulty in a bar room. Latimer struck Logan in the head with a billiard ball, and knocked his left eye out of its socket. The eye-ball fell down on the negro's cheek and hung there until removed by a nhvsieian. Latimer has been committed to X jail to await the results of Logan's injury. THE THERMOMETER'S RECORD For the Week Ending January 27.?Observations by Mr. J. R. Schorb. rTTTT/r.!" ' ' ?

During the latter part of last August we commenced to advertise the Chicago Singeb Sewing Machine as a premium, and up to the time of the destruction of The Enquiber building by fire, had disposed of quite a number of them. The majority of the machines were sold to persons living in York county, but several were shipped to persons in other States, and in every instance, so far as we have heard from them, the machines ark giving perfect satisfaction, and we take it for granted that those from which we have not heard are also giving satisfaction, as we would have been pretty apt to have heard from them, had they been otherwise than as represented. The following voluntary and unsolicited testimonial from a Fort Mill lady, will, we J think, put to rest any misgivings that may exist in regard to the machine: Fort Mill, S. 0'., Dec. 8th, 1890. L. M. Grist, Editor of Yokkvillk Enquirer: j Dear Sir: I received my Sewing Machine in due time, and find it to be everything that you claimI ed it to l?e. I would not be without it for double ! its cost; and can say to those who are in need of a good Sewing Mnchine that they need not hesitate to purchase your Premium Machine. Mrs. J R. Jenkins. "No Farmer Cau Afford to be Without It." Do you know Capt. Robert II. Glenn, the man who for twenty-two years was the efficient sheriff of York county, and who has recently been elected to represent York in the legislature? Would you want any stronger evidence of the fact that he has the confidence of the people? Do you imagine that such a man would a make statement which he could not substantiate if called upon to do so? The following testimonial as to the value of the Corbin Disk Harrow as a time, labor and money saver, and as to thoroughness of work, is worthy of the careful consideration of every farmer who desires to increase his crops, and at the same time reduce the cost of production : Yorkville, S. ('., May 15, lhHO. Sam M. Grist, Yorkville, S. C.: Dear Sir?It gives me pleasure to add my testimony as to the wortli of the Corbin Disk Harrow as a farming implement. I have used the Harrow purchased of you last fall for a variety of purposes, and in no'single instance has it failed to do ail that is claimed for it by the manufacturers and by the farmers whose testimony you have already published. Last fall 1 plowed u piece of ground on my place that was covered with weeds, and had also a considerable amount of wire-grass on it, and when the plowing was hushed, it was ex ceedingly rough?in places me nirmw woum turn for twenty-live or thirty yards without breaking. I then went to work with tin? Harrow, and atler going over the ground two or three times, I had it 111 as good condition as an ordinary garden is alter being spaded and ruked, | and I am now cultivating this land and it is still soft and mellow and easily worked. I also broke my cotton stalk land and then pulverized it and cut up the cotton stalks with the Harrow. 1 find a wonderful difference in working land that lias been harrowed and that which has not. The more 1 use my Harrow the better I like it. It-is my purpose to sow my small grain with it next fail, and for two reasons: first, 1 can sow it betj ter, and, therefore get better results; and second, I I can do it at about one fifth the expense and in j one-fifth of the time, as compared with the ordi! nary mode of sowing grain. No farmer can afford to be without the Oorbin Harrow, and the sooner the farmers find this out the better. I I would not take live times the cost of my Harrow j for it and do without it. I shall be pleased to | give my friends any further information they may desire. Respectfully, H. H. Ui.knn. If you doubt the genuineness of the above testiI moiiiul, or any other that may have appeared in I these columns during the past sixteen months ; relative to the (Whin Harrow, and desire to test I the matter, I will agree to pay your traveling ex1 ponses and for your time if you will visit the ' alleged writer of any testimonial, the genuineness j of which you question, and find that a single statement that has been made over the signatures of different farmers is not endorsed by the persons whom you may visit. Is not this a fair proposition? Sam M. Grist, Sole Agent. January 14 2 tf HYMENEAL. Mabeied?At the residence of the bride'sjpar-1 efitABear Fodder, on January 21,1891, by Rev. W. W.

JT has got to be an understood thing that we don't change our price, because we can't go lower, and we won't go higher. WE FIX OUR PRICE JUST ON THE INSIDE OF COST, allowing ua the fair profit we need to live, and we don't budge from that. WHY SHOULD WET If we can't make something, we waste time in selling. But the "something" we make is always something lower than THE PRICE MADE ELSEWHERE. ONE PRICE HAS WON US A LARGE TRADE. Folks don't like to haggle. It is a relief to know at a word just what you have to pay. You don't go away kicking yourself at the thought that if you had hung on a little longer you might have got the goods for a little less. ONE PRICE PLEASES EVERYBODY In the long run, and leaves no doubt in the buyer's mincj about his own shrewdness or the merchant's honesty. ONE PRICE HAS WON US FRIENDS, for every customer is a friend. Buyers appreciate the fact that we could not make A FIXED ROCK-ROOTED PRICE, unless we made it at figures that would meet any price that SLIDING SCALE COMPETITORS COULD MAKE. If they make a lower price they lose money, and that makes it only a question of time when they shut up shop and leave the field to us. WE ARE HERE TO STAY, And on the one price plan to all. 33-inch WOOL PLAID DRESS FLANNEL at 20 cents per yard. CASHMERE at 121 cents; worth 20 cents. STANDARD CALICOES at 5 cents.

Many did appreciate our efforts to relieve them and paid their account.? when due?some before. Some made little sacrifices to show their ippreciation of our effort/: to accommodate them.
