Ql'lRER, the old year, with its joys and sorrows,
its pleasures and cares, its soft zephyrs
of prosperity and its rude blasts of adversity,
has got^e to join the solemn ranks of the
inexorable p?pt, and a new year has dawned
upon us, bringtfig "With it fresh opportunities!
with their attendant'' responsibilities. May j
each and every one receive strength from the
"Giver ^veyery good and perfect gill." to

After a lapse of four mouths we again i
find our lot fast in with the good people of;
Edgmoor for a season, and are pleased to j
<* wl !
note tne many signs 01 prosperity ui^wjni.;
The weekly rains have retarded farm work
to a.great extent. Yet^ by perseverance, a
goorf neal'of small'grain has been sowh, and
is looking well. The hedges and fence rat s
are being cleaned up and farms are putting
on a neat appearance. There is some complaint,
though not a great deal, of scarcity of
labor. Some farmers are investing in more
stock, and good mules are, iu many instances,
taking the place of more inferior horseflesh.
Almost every farmer has a few bales j
of the fleecy staple still on hands, waiting
for "a rise." Probably it is the sight of this 1
uncommon article iu the farmers' possession
at this season that encourages the purchase
of better stock.
. Mr. Norman Elder, the County Alliance
lecturer, delivered a public address at High
Point academy on the 22nd ultimo, giving
soitregood;-twmid, sensible advice and encouragement
to his'.brother Alliance man.
At the close the Edgmoor Alliance

new builijuigs are beginning to
ratr'tneir heads in the *'Vale of Edgmoor."
Mr. J. C. Dickey is putting up a neat cottage
which will be occupied by Mr. Lloyd, the i
depot agent. /.IIv I t w *i j
Mr. W. E. Dickey is also'putting up a!
small frame building, but not for himself we !
presume, since he is still that much-to-bepitied
object, a bachelor.
The High Point school, under the management
of its former teacher, Miss Hattic Ratterree,
was-opened on the 19th of January
with a respectable attendance.
Mrs. Cora Reid has charge of the school at
Mt. Holly.
Mr. Lee Oats still "teaches the young idea"
at Neely's Creek, and Miss Lizzie Pierce, of
Newport, has charge of the Roddey Academy.
Miss Mattie McElwee is visiting friends
in Mecklenburg.
Miss Mary Workman is visiting Miss Lillie
Dickey, at Fishing Creek.
Mr. J. L. Shaw, of Littleton, N. C., former
depot agent at this pluce, is here on a visit.
In imagination we hear the chimes of next
week's wedding-bells, and when Mr. Shaw |
departs, Santuc will doubtless be minus oue
of her sweetest human plants. May joy,
happiness and prosperity attend them.
Dr. Lyele, formerly of Chester village, is
now practicing his profession at Fishing
Creek Factory*. Dr. Frank Straight, the retiring
physician of that locality, is in New
York, and on his return will go to the "Hub
of the Piedmont." taking with him one. of
Chester's fitfr.daughters.

the inclemency pfihe weather,
Dr. R. A. Ross filled his apuHhtment.on yesterday,
preaching to a small but interred
audience. Sabbath night ho was the guest
of Mr. J. C. Dickey. It fe tohe hoped the
doctor .will be sept to us again, as many who
would ' hav^ appreciated hearing his loved
and well-remembered voice in days of yore,
were-deprtved of hearing him on yesterday ,

last fne residence of *Mr. A. B.
Crosby was, -the scene of a select and very
pleasant party, of young people, which assembled
iuhonor of Mr. 31. 31. Freeman, the
popular auditor of the Three O's railroad,
who will leave here about the 15th instant
to accept a position on the Richmond apd
Danville system, having his headquarters at
Atlanta. By strict attention to the duties of
his office, his uniform courtesy, his gentlemanly
deportment, as'well as his tine sociul
qualities, Mr. Freeman is in a high degree
the possessor of the confidence and esteem of
his fellow associates in the Three C's ottice,
and the respect and admiration of our citizens
generally. It is with genuine regret
that we give bim up, and assure hiin that he
will carry with him the best wishes of all
our people. , .
Encouraged by the success which attended
the supper given on the 23d uiltiiuo, the
k ladies of the Presbyterian church gave another
hot supper 'on Friday evening last,
which was also quite successful. The money
realized from both is for the purpose of paying
the balance, due on the organ, and
varnishing the seats. Presbytery will be
held with the church'at this place in April,
at which time it is hoped arrangements will
be made for securing the services of a regular
minister. Rev. Mr. McLain preached in
the church on Sunday last, and Rev. Dr.
English will officiate ou the fourth Sunday
in this month. '
The members of Mount Pnran Baptist
church, situate about two miles from our
town, have recently erected a very neat
and comfortable church building, 30 x 54 feet, j
which they have already had tastefully j
painted, and will finish up in churehly style, j
In October last some of the prominent j
ladies of our town organized a "ladies pray-!
er meeting," which has since assembled regularly
every Tuesday afternoon, at the different
churches. On Tuesday last, thequar- j
terly election of officers was held, at which
3Irs. A. Urquhart was unanimously re-elect-!
ed president, Mrs. J. W. Humbert elected j
vice-president, 3Irs. Win. 31. Jones sci re- j
tary, and Miss Mainie Lucas treasurer. The
meetings are well attended, much interest is j
felt and shown in them, and no doubt an
influence for good, quiet, but powerful, will
be felt, in our whole community.
Our town council has ordered the issuing
of bonds to the amount of seven hundred
and tifty dollars for the purpose of building j
a sehool house for the eolored children of
this school district. The bonds will soon he
sigued and the building contract let to the
lowest bidder within the next twenty days. ,
The council at ite meeting last night
ordered that all houses for the storage of
guano l>e located at least 200 yards away j
from any dwelling in the town. This order,
of course virtually removes guano, with its
uupleasant odor, out of the town.
Dr. Wilson, a chemist ami mining bnginecr j
of considerable reputation, was sent here
hist week by the John I. Miduleton company,
of Baltimore, for the purpose of examining
the ore of the Magnetic Iron ami
Steel Ore company of our town. He made
three visits to the mines, and is prepared to
render a very favorable report to the company.
He stated, while here, that he was
surprised to find an ore of such high grade
as this has been often proved to be. to cxistjio
'.-mch great quantity; that he believed
the supply was inexhaustible, and lie did
not know of a parallel ease in North America.
A literary and debating society was organized
here on Friday evening last, at tingraded
school building, by the young men
of the place, and will hold its meetings
weekly. The object is to encourage literary
pursuits an?T improve in the art of elocution.

Ktta Jank, February 2.?Quite a storm
of wind and rain passed over this section
yesterday morning about 2 o'clock. The
rain continued falling until noon yesterday.
Last week a number of dogs bitten by a
rabid dog which passed through this neighborhood
week before last, were killed. In
some instances the owners refuse to kill
their dogs preferring to keep them and risk
their going mad. Thus the neighborhood
is in dauger of a general uprising of these
callings. With some people the dog? sefems
to.be "one of the family" and his presence
ground tho'fire is indispensiMe ;o the family
Circle. A'judicibus application of-bitVksliot
where these nuisances are found strolling j
about would provoke an amen from those
chicken eaters who wish to attend the big,
meetings next summer. ' *
Our section will he well represented on
the various hone yards to-day. A number
of "rips'' left in the hands of "swappers,"
who will, of course, tell the truth as to their,
good qualities.
Mr. J. Hemphill Bigham, of Sharon, paid i
us a visit last week. He with a number of,
youngsters spent Saturday evening pleasantly
at the home of our friend George W..
Estes. It was a singing.
The actors in our trial justice court last j
week were patriotic enough to help out the
county fund about $55, rather than board out
. .. .... t 4
that amount with Mierm j.ioii|i at ,
peuse. Those entertainments known as j
"riots" are not so pleasant after all, and it is i
hoped will he less popular in the future.
Oil account of the rain, the Sunday-school
convention at Mesopotamia was postponed ;
until more favorable weather, Considerable
preparations were made to Inn e a grand display
of this good work and the movers
haven't given up tiieic purpose. . . siuma. ,
LETTER FROM SMYRNA.

Smyrna, February 2.?The gold fever at
this place seems to be rising higher and j
higher. A number of prosj>ectors were;
around here last week and became very i
much excited over what they found. They
were shown a fine specimen of gold hearing
quart/ that has been in possession of Mr. F.
1). Horn for a number of years. Of course
they wanted the specimen and wanted it bad,
but Mr. Horn would not sell. The prospectors
then went out to find what they could
for themselves, and a few hundred yards
from Mr. Horn's house they found another
specimen that was really richer than the one
they had been shown. " MY. Horii ahfl Dr.

this vicinity. \f the quantity of rich
qiturtz increases going down, in proport ion to ;
what is on the surface, there is no telling j
what might be the extent of the develop |
ments about here shortly.
- The cotton-market is rather flat just now.
.The lo\y. prices prevaUiijigure^wninst us. and
tlK>seVvfn> owii the Heoi'V^dn^He occupy tlie
very enviable position of not being obliged
tosell. To give an idea of the quantity ofcotton
that has been mude this year, here are the
figures of one of our gin owners. Last year
hegitined R90 bales, and this year 470. He
furthermore reminds us that two more new
gins have commenced operations in the
neighborhood since last year.
We would like to see a little fair weather
just now. The past fall bus been unfavorable
for seeding oats, and the time for this work
is rapidly growing shorter. Unless we can
get some work done soon, the acreage will
necessarily be light, and all our farmers are
specially anxious to excel all previous crops
this year.
Miss Fannie Whitesides, of Sharon, is
.visiting her sister at this place this week.

Lowrysville, February 2.?Ziou church
is still without a pastor, though we have
preaching nearly every Sabbath through the i
kindness of the neighboring ministry.
Mrs. Riley left here for Columbia, to reside
with her sister, Mrs. Dr. Pope, a few days
after the funeral of her husband.
Evangelist Leitch has been for the past
week conducting- a series of servicu?~at the '
Chupol cbuiylv new* hero, , The .meetings j
have attracted large congregations and have;
raited in numerous additions to the church,
k A-O^iderable quantity of fertilizers isi
being-received at this place daily, but very
little is being hauled away by the farmers on
account of the muddy condition of the roads, j
Considerable comment has been heard i
hereabouts in regard to the authorities neg- J
lecting to bring criminal action agaiust the
defaulting ex-adjutant general of South Carolina.
If a man steals five dollars he is
branded as a thief and speedily punished.
Whether the owner recovers the money orj
not makes no difference ; but if he should get
away with $5,000, he is only "an unfortunate j
gentleman, by force of circumstances, in a
false and distressing position," and is dismissed
with the assurance that "the people
of the State do not demand his prosecution."

Gould, February 2.?Farm work has been
greatly retarded this season and there still
remains a great deal that should have been
done last fall. Fall sown oats show up a
good stand but unfortunately only a small
portion of the crop has yet been sown and a
considerable quantity still remains tb he put
in. Wheat is not so forward this year as
usual, and so far the outlook for a good crop
is fiVst rate.
Labor seems to be plentiful and so far
everybody is well supplied with hands.
Mr. \V. G. Palmer slaughtered a thirteen j
months old shoat a few weeks ago that net-1
ted 380 pounds. Mr. If. F. Horton killed
one last week that weighed 3G9 pounds, j
Though the weather is very unfavorable for!
saving recently killed meat, so far I have
heard of no losses.
Money is scarce and business is dull. I
see no hope for a change except in a rise of
the price of cotton. H.

Tribute of Respect.
At a recent meeting of the session of /ion
Presbyterian church, the following testimonial
in regard to the late Rev. S. R. Riley was
adopted:
It is our sad and painful duty to record the
death of our noble and beloved pastor, Rev. S. R.
Riley, which occurred Friday, January 9, 1891,
at 9 j>. m. Weknew him well. Ho was ourpttHtor,
friend and neighbor; his quiet, unobtrusive
muuners, liis ability and consecration to his sacred
calling, his fidelity and interest in and for
his people, his high and noble purposes in life,
challenge the mhoiration of all who knew him ;
indeed it was hfnaturnl for him to he true and
noble as for the sun to shine. Therefore, be it
Resolved, 1. That in the death of our beloved
pastor, S. R. Riley, this people have lost one of
whom it may he truly said, was to them a guide,
counsellor and friend ; to his wife a kind, hiving
husband ; to his parents a devoted son; and to his
sisters and brother a sympathizing and loving
heart in all their duties.

this people he extended to his devoted wife, parents
and family in their sad hereaveinent, and
that a blank page in our minute liook he inHoribed
to his memory, and that these resolutions
he published in the Southern Presbyterian and
oounty papers, and a eopy he sent to liis wife
and family.
Interview Your Neighbor.
An Illinois paper, in speaking of the Disk
Harrow* su.ve: "A J'ool can ruu it successfully ;
u cripple, with both legs and one arm gone, ran
do trtore and better -work with it than n twolegged
and two-armed giant ean in the old way."
We have never seen the above test made, but we
are certain that one able Iwnlied man with two
mules and a No. 7 t'orbin Harrow, can put in as
many oats in a day as live men and live mules
ean by the old way,? and we are also certain
thatIhtftorfta. put in with the harrow will belelt
in bAter iSmiltfTon than thbsoput in with a plow.
There is no doubt that the t'orbin Disk Harrowis
the best farming implement in the world ;
and, for the reason that it will do more kinds of
work and better work than any other implement,
and because it is so simple in construction that
it ean he operated as successfully by a twelvoyearjold
boy a?h>vn grown man, . , i ,
Knrmv time to time during the past eighteen
tiionlhs we have published testimonials 'from
well known and successful farmers who are UHing
t'orbin Harrows, and now for the information of
those who may prefer verbal testimony, we give
l>elowu list of farmers who are using the Harrow,
and invite any who may Ihi interested in the
matter to interview as many of them as may be
convenient, and ascertain whether or not the
Harrow is all that is claimed for it. (Jet, your

Our Premium Sewing Machine.
During the latter part of last August we commenced
to advertise the Chioaoo Sinoku Skwinu
M AotfiNK as a premium, and up to the time
of the destruction of Tin-: Knuiurkk building
by lire, lijul 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
MACHINKS AHK<11 VINO f'KltKKCT SATISFACTION,
and we take it for grunted timt 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 Judy, will, we
think, put to rest any misgivings that may exist
in regard to the machine:

L. M. Grist. Editor of Vokkvii.i.k K.NqriUKit:
Dear Sir: I received my Sewing Machine in due
time, and find it to he everything that you claimed
it to be. I would not be without it for double
its cost; and can say to those who arc in need of
a good Sewing Machine that they need not hesitate
to purchase your Premium Machine.

Home of our friends, who do a credit as well as

defeat in this great movement for
MERC ANTILE REFORM,
But we proudly point them and you to that success
we have achieved in so short a period, and
yet more proudly tell of t lie innumerable host of
their own former customers, who to-day flock to
us for theirgoods, telling us in their eagor, honest
way, how much we are saving them in the
price of every article by our
ONE PRICE CASH SYSTEM.
We are sustained in this movement by that
which is most Railing to credit houses, viz.:
THE ELOQUENCE OF CONTINUED AND
EVER INCREASING PATRONAGE from
those same people who have been their victims
for these many years. IVe are going to makethe
song still more heinous to the ear of the credit

Our Grand Closing Out Sale of
Fine Laces and Embroideries
Begins its Second Week!
OWING to the continued rains of last week
our GRAND CLOSING OUT SALE OF
LACES AND EMBROIDERS was not as lively
as we had anticipated, nor as lively as our
prices demanded, but under the circumstance#
was entirely satisfactory. During the next two
weeks tremendous inducements will .be offered
in this line, and if any one needs anything of the
kind now is time, and the Bazaar is the place to
get it. Respectfully, WM. C. LATIMER.
THE HAIR OF THRDOG IS NOT GOOD
FOR THE BITE I '
THIS month one. year ago, we advertised in
The Enquiber that we were willing, and^
would sell our goods to PROMPT PAYING
CREDIT CUSTOMERS ON AS FAVORABLE
TERMS AS COULD BE OBTAINED
FROM ANY CASH HOUSE IN THE STATE.
WE DID IT?WE FILLED OUR CONTRACT
TO THE LETTER. It was not a business
proposition on onr part; hut we did it to relieve
our friends of their depressed condition in
money matters, believing, under the circumstances,
that these accounts .would be paid before the
FIRST DAY Uf IHWvrj?Q.D?iiv> tuc u?j u?
which they became due. Many did appreciate
our effort* to relieve them and paid their account*
when due?some before. Some made
little sacrifices to show their appreciation of o|ir
efforts to accommodate them. Thefe are others,
however, who seem to think that we can await
their convenience and still furnish them with
the luxuries and necessaries of life without a cent
of money from them to replenish the shortage.
The long and short of the above is, we want our
money. We cannot and will not carry account*
perpetually without a settlement, and we would
request all parties indebted to us to call and pay
their accounts. If you can't pay in flail, pay
what yon can and tell us when you will pay the
balance. We caunot afford to make new accounts
with parties that have not paid their old
accounts according to implied promise. This
is an instance where we don't believe tha" the
