Mr. AinSon, during his stay with us, made many (Heads, whose good wishes for his success in his new field will accompany him. The Richmond and Danville company are having a tank erected near their depot, in our town, which will hold 40,000 gallons of water, and will present a fine appearance. Material fdr'i new passenger depot is also being placed on the ground. It will be built opposite the old one, the latter of which wHI be used exclusively for a freight depot. There seems to be no limit to the possibilities of railway service in the way of seeing the world in the most comfortable and luxuriant style. In addition to the two elegant passenger trains already on the road, the Richmond and Danville will run a special excursion, called the ''Golden Gate" train, from Washington, D. C., to the City of Mexico once a week. All the cars will be vestibuled and ftiraished with all the elegancies and luxuries of modern life. Each train will be accompanied by an interpreter, who languages, and fas^litkf will bp furnished the excu^iustsv'>f-thd-~expei2Be of the railroad,W Wto^llMfces of interest in Mexico.

On Sunday morning last the colored porter at the Three C's,depot, heard a peculiar noise in theite^& roooa,t' and :im mediately' notified the agent, Mr. Edgar Thomasson. Upondnveatigation, it was discovered that a barrel of gin had been bored into, through the floor of the room, and an attempt made to stop the hole with a wooden pin. Of course this did not prove a success and the noise heard was caused by the liquid running out and air rushing into the barrel. Chief of Police A. G. Smith was soon informed and at once took steps to discover, if possible, the perpetrators of the theft, as yet he has not met with success. From him I gather the following facts in the case : There were two barrels in the depot, one of gin and the other of rye whiskey. Two holes were first bored for the whisky, but not finding it, the thieves next made an attempt to find the gin, and succeeded with the second hole. It is thought that six persons were engaged in the affair?one a woman?and that the inch augur used belonged to the round house of the Three C's company. The barrel had about 25 gaHons of gin in it and was nearly empty when moved. The parties engaged in this affair were more skillful and temperate than the Yorkville thieves; but will in all probability be caught up with yet. V / W. a. HAPPENINGS AT SHARON. Patella nfthe-Plw<c? Robbery?Prompt Action in Paiohin* the Thieves?A Challenge W) Pdx Hunters?Exciting Rnna: p?jr?Personal Paragraphs. Correspondence of The York vJ lie Bnqulrer. Sharojj, February 9.?The store of Mr. S. S. Plexico was entered on the morning of January 30 by burglars^ They obtained entrance by cutting siatsjsit of one of the front windows, and stole in the neighborhood of $100 worth of goods, including twenty or twenty-five pairs of pants, several pairs of shoes, a number of hats, blankets, a bolt of jskirting?nd seyeral pounds of tobacco, and probably other things that Mr. Plexico does not now know o& j . i - /. On Monday morning following, Jim Wagoner, a negro boy about 16 years of age, was arrested on suspicion, and though at first he denied all knowledge of the burglary, finally made a confession that implicated four or five other negroes. On this information Squire George Leech was telegraphed for, and in the meantime Bill Farrar, Will Berry, alias Anderson, and Bob Hill, were arrested. On the arrival of Squire Leech, a preliminary trial was held, and Wagoner, still sticking to nia original story and the same beingcorroborated by other circumstances, Farrar, Berry and Hill were sent to jail, though as yet none oj the goods have been round. The account of the fox chase as given in The Enquirer last week is correct, but there are other hunters here who claim half the honor, and at the same time give a very plausible reason for the foi having been caught after so short a race. They claim that they gave it a hard run on the day before and it was tired. However-this may be, your correspondent feels safe in saying that the long winded fox that recently took such delight in crossing Turkey creek, cannot be caught by anybody's dogs in less than two hours.. . > There are still several cases of grip in this section. Dr. J. H. Saye had quite a narrow escape from serious injury last week. While driving'*' pair of'horses along the road they suddenly took fright and ran away with him. After going a short distance they turned from the road across a field of plowed ground, and ran into a cherry tree which was torn from the roots. The buggy was pretty badly smashed, but the doctor came out all right, thanks to the soft ground. Mr. Jas. N. Ross, one of our hust ling young men, has laid down the yardstick for a while and Will engage in farming this year. Mr. C. W. Fuller now occupies his new house ncar-the A. B. P. church. ? Miss Katie Caldwell is spending a few days, in town. ' * Mf. Joseph' M. Plexico has bought a plantation on Bullock's creek, and will move to it this week. We are sorry to lose Sir. PlexOur school 0(>ened on Monday with Miss Caldwell as teacher. The attendance is good. Mr. J. C. Whitesides has moved into his new residence near the depot. J. CHESTER NOTES. An Alliance Drug Store?Death of Mrs. W. A. Sanders?An Assignment?Poisoned? Order of Railway Trackmen?Other Matters. . Correspondence of The Yorkville Enquirer. Chester, February 10.?One of the drug stores at this place has hung out a sign which reads, "Alliance Drug Store?Drugs at Racket Prices." Another bar-room opened up last week, and now there are six. The foundry of the Moffatt Manufacturing company has been completed and is in operation. The valley between the "hill" and the depot is so muddy that some one has put up a signboard on the sidewalk, advertising "that the ferryboat crosses every fifteen minutes." It is quite suggestive and rather a grim joke on the unlucky pedestrian who j finds himself under the necessity of crossing t through the slush. Mr. N. Palmer Alexander has moved his I family to this place from Rock Hill, and is now occupying his own house on Columbus street. Work on the^town hall has been suspend- j ed on account of the unfavorable weather, hut will be resumed so .soon as practicable, i The town council has under consideration . * proposition looking to the establishment of electric lights, gas and water works at! this place, in the near future. Mr. A. E. Gonzales, of Columbia, was in town on last Saturday, in the interest of, "The State," the new Columbia daily. Mrs. Elmira J. Sanders, wife of Mr. W.! A. Sanders, of this place, and a sister of Mrs.! J. F. Oates, of Yorkville, died at her home> " on Sunday of last week. She was in the i 35th year of her age. The Chester Cotton mills, last week, sold j to a New York firm all the goods now on hand, as well as all that can be made during ! the next two months. F. H. Reid, baker and confectioner, made an assignment on the 27th ultimo. Liabilities $600; assets about the same. A colored child, near the Fair grounds, was poisoned by eating concentrated lye a few days ago. At last accounts it was still j alive, and may possibly recover. A lodge of Railway Trackmen has been ' organized at this place. The president is Mr. Lawrence Wooten, and Mr. R. L. Wooten is secretary. The object of the organization is mutual benefit, insurance and just compensation. On the death of a member his family receives five hundred dollars. Capt. O. A. Hamlin, conductor on the narrow gauge lines, is off on a few days leave of absence. He has been quite unwell for several weeks and is trying to recuperate. During Mr. Hamlin's absence, his train will be in charge of Capt. Cornwall. hickory hrove affairs. Impatient at the Weather?Personal NotesGrowth of the Town and Activity of the Town Council. Correspondence of The VorkvlUe Enquirer. Hickory Grove, February 10.?"When will it stop raining ?" is the question asked on all sides now a days. Now and then a few hours, sunshine comes, for no other purpose, apparently, than to excite false hopes. The continued wet weather has transformed the roads into a bog, and prevented all farm work. Our fanners are anxiously waiting for fair weather. Mr. W. Brown Wylie, the efficient clerk of the court, paid Hickory Grove a visit last Saturday. He came up to see his father, who is quite ill. Mr. H. Moorhead, who has been employed in the The C's depot at this point for some time past, has accepted a position on the Georgia, Carolina and Northern railroad. He leaves to-day for his new post of duty, followed by the good wishes of a host of friends. Miss Nunnie White returned last Friday afternoon from a pleasant visit among friends and relatives at Gastonia, N. C. Mr. T. Q. Odum, a recent settler in Hiekory Grove, has returned to his former home in Marlboro county, for tht purpose of visiting his relatives. Speaking of recent settlers, suggests the fact that our town is steadily growing. Two dwelling houses and one store are now in course of construction. Two other dwelling houses and a new house of worship for the Methodist congregation, are among the strong probabilities of the near Altar* The town council is composed of citizens alive to the best interests of the people. They have recently cansed the pavements in the business portion of town to be covered with gaw dust, adding greatly to the convenience of pedestrians in these days of mud and slush. They have also, by a recent ordinance, levied a tax of five mills upon all property within the limits of the incorporation. The sum raised from this tax, together with the amount received from those compounding for street duty, will pay the expense of the town government, with a probable remainder sufficient to enable the council to add much to the improvement of the town. bi8sel. LETTER FROM ROCK HILL. The Continued Wet Weather has a Bad Effect on Business?Epidemic of Mnmps and Measles?A Pastor Unwell?Other Matters. Correspondence of the YorkvlUe Enquirer. Rock Hill, February 9.?The weather of the past week has been very unfavorable for farm work, and as there 3s 110 cotton selling, dull times are prevailing; generally. Busi ess among the merchants is not very brisk. Our physicians report that mumps and measels are epidemic in and around town. Rev. W. M. Anderson has been confined to his house several days with sickness. He was unable to preach lsst Sunday, but we are encouraged to hope that he will be out again in a few days. Mr. P. C. Poag has resigned the position of secretary and treasurer to the town council, and Mr. A. E. Holler has been elected in his stead. Mr. Ben Sturgis, who left this section twenty years ago, and has during that time resided in Troy, Tennessee, iB here on a visit to his father, Mr. James A. Sturgis. Mr. Sturgis seems pleased with Tennessee, but you can readily see in conversation with him that he still has a hankering after "The Old Oaken Bucket." He is very much surprised at the growth of our town and the progress our people have made and are making in agricultural pursuits. The freight depot of the C. C. and A. railroad is so packed with freight that the agent thinks it necessary to have the building enlarged. It is quite likely that the railroad company will attend to the matter at on aaJ?t CO! IJ UOJ . Mr. A. R. Hey ward, a former agent here, who has been in the employ of the railroad at this place and in Columbia for the past fifteen years, has accepted a position with the Globe Phosphate company, of Columbia. Our farmer friends, in town to-day, report the roads in very bad condition. hal. NEWPORT NEWS. Election of Town Officers?A Good School Established?Personal Notes?Other Matters of Interest. Correspondence of The Yorkrllle Enquirer. Newport, February 9.?On account of the incessant rains, matters in and around this place are unusually quiet. However, trade has been pretty good. So far something over 100 tons of guano have been hauled away from this place. Mr. A. T. Neely intends to engage in the mercantile business at this place, and is now completing a large store house to be used for the purpose. Capt. I. W.

W. Moore, and Miss Winnje Weaver, of Rutherfordton, who has been visiting her sister, Mrs. Surratt, have both returned to their homes. Some of our boys are looking ever so sad, and if the ladies don't come back soon, why the boys are going up the Three C's?that's all. Our school is in operation in charge of Rev. J. M. McLain. Mr. McLain has the reputation of being a splendid teacher, and we will soon boast of having one of the finest schools in the county. He is now arranging to build a comfortable home at this place. The town election passed ofT quietly and resulted in the selection of the following officers: 8. F. Roddey, intendant; A. T. Neely, A. J. Surratt, Capt. I. W. Moore and Ulysses Adkins, wardens. The newly elected officers entered upon their duties at once. There is a great deal of cotton still to sell, in and around this place, but the owners do not like the idea 6f selling at the prevailing low price. lookkr on. tilTORIESmLEMATTERg. Death of Mr. John C. Sander*?Healthy Condition of Educational Affairs, with highly Efficient Teachers in Charge of the Schools. Correspondence of The Yorkvllle Enquirer. GUTHRIESVILLE, February 9.?The angel of death has again visited our midst, and this time summoned a young man to the unseen world. On the evening of February 4,1891, John C'alhouu Sanders died at his home near Guthriesvllle, from the effects of a severe cold, and was buried at Bethesda on Thurs day, Rev. B. 1'. Keid conducting tne service. Mr. Sanders was born May 6, 1858, and was in the thirty-third year of his age. He was married about two years ago to Miss Anna Keller, of Yorkville, S. C\, whom he leaves to mourn his loss. He was a member of Bethesda church for more than nine years, having joined during the great revival in 1881, under the preaching of Rev. F. L. Leeper. Industry, kindness and affection in his home, and liberality to the causes of his church, characterized his life. His death is much regretted in the community. The educational interests within the bounds of Bethesda are in a thriving condition. Miss Janie McConnell is doing good and faithful work in the school at MeConnellsville. Mr. John A. Barron is teaching with great acceptability in the school at the church. Mr. Hay Watson Smith, son of Rev. J. II. Smith, I). D., pastor of the Presbyterian church in Greensboro, N. C., is expected this week to take charge of the new academy recently erected uear the residence of Mr. J. L. Moore. Mr. Smith is a gruduate of Davidson, a brother of Prof. H. L.

Weather and the Crops?Mining Mugauese ?Activity of the Prospectors cuuses an Advance in the Price of Mineral Property. Correspondence of The Yorkville Knquirer. Grovkr, N. ., February 9.?The rainy weather continues and the farmers are getting but little work done. The roads in this section are in the worst condition they have bejjn in for years, and in consequence tin* lumbermen, who have been instrumental in bringing about this state of affairs, have had to suspend hauling for a season. Messrs. Hamhright, White & Co., have WMJJMSJk VWWW.WWWWW WWVWWWWT ?\\\\\\v\\\? x? ad<le<l a feed crusher to their mill plant at this place. It does good work and saves a handsome per cent, on feed that has heretofore been useless. The school at this place is large and in a flourishing condition. It has grown steadily from the first Monday in January, until now the enrollment numbers sixty-five. The maganese mine 011 B. J. Gold's place near here is being worked, and the miners expect to reach valuable ore soon. Mineral lands are advancing in prices and prospecting parties are becoming more and more numerous. Let us all render a helping hand in developing the rich mineral lands of our section. . c. c. h. A Life Race for a Trophy.?Col. J. J. Martin is one of twenty survivors of the old Palmetto Regiment, of South Carolina, who are running a life race for a historic trophy. Just after the war of 1812 the ladies of South Carolina presented Gen. Jackson with a beautiful and costly cup indicative of their appreciation of the bravery and gallantry displayed by him at the battle of New Orleans. When Gen. Jackson died his will ordered the cup to he given to uie uravesi soldier from South Carolina in the next war which should occur. The cup was carefully put away in the State archives at Colombia to await the outcome of the next war. The next war was the Mexican war. South Carolina sent out the Palmetto Regiment, 1,100 strong. It fought in the many battles, and only 800 of the 1,100 came back. Then the question as to who should have Jackson's cup arose. The legislature uppointed a commission to decide the matter. The commission could reach no conclusion. Every member of the regiment had fought well. Not one had run away or shown the slightest cowardice, audit was found impossihle to award the trophy. Thereupon the legislature decided that the cup should go to the last survivor af the 300. There are only 20 left, aud it is the especial ambition of each to outlive the others so as to possess this trophy.?New York Sun, Feby. 8. a 1 ? During last week there was considerable excitement in Spartanburg over what was thought to have been the fraudulent failure of the Alliance store at that place iu charge of W. McZimmerman. Exaggerated statements were in circulation to the effect that the liabilities of the concern were in the neighborhood of $30,000, and the assets were hut a little over one-sixth of that sum. A writ of injunction was sued out restraining McZimmerman from disposing of the balance of his stockj but on a hearing before Judge Witherspoon, he was again placed in charge of the ! store. The liabilities are about $7,000 or *' - 1 OA *? OA ..an! $8,000, and tne asseis pernup* iu iu uv ^v. cent. less. .

Interview Your Neighbor* An Illinois paper, in speaking of the Disk Harrow, says: "A fool can run it successfully ; a cripple, with both legs and one arm gone, can j do more and better work with it than a twolegged and two-armed giant can in the old way." | We have never seen the alsive test made, but we ' are certain that one able liodied man with two j mules and a No. 7 Corbin Harrow, can put in as | many oats in u day as live men and live mules j can by the old way,e and we are also certain i that the oats put in with the harrow will be left i in better condition than those put in with a plow.' Therein no doubt that the Corbin Disk Harrow i is the best farming implement in the world;! and, for the reason that it will do more kinds of l j work and better work than any other implement, i | and because it is so simple in construction that I l it can be operated as successfully by a twelve- j j year-old boy as by a grown man.

During the latter part of last August we commenced to advertise the Chicago Sinoef; Sewing Machine as a premium, and up to the time of the destruction of The Enquirer building by fire, had disposed of quite a number of them.
