AFFAIRS AT EDflXOOR. A Bright And Newsy Letter from the Growing Little Town on the G. C. and N. Odcrespoadeoce of The YorkxiUe Enquirer. Edgj/oor, February 28?Though our pen is not beating time to <(the music of the rain on the roof and window pane" this morning, yet the sky is overcast with clouds whieh threaten snow, "and the day is dark and dreary." Owing to the continued inclement weather, th6 farming fraternity are in low spirits, and yet, car load alter carload of fertilizers is being unloaded at the little stations along the line of the railroads, and plans are being laid for the planting of the usual acreage. Yery jtttle small grain has been sown, but that little is very promising, doubtless causing many to regret they did not sow before the close of the old year. Edgmoor still adds a little to her small beginnings. Mr. D. D. Chambers has lumber on the ground for the erection of a cottage at no distant day. Mr. William Reid has his saw mill in fall blast at the "Vale," and will have a cotton seed and corn crusher in operation in a few days. Messrs. J. C. Dickey, R. D. Robinson and Charley Sibley, have been legally constituted I trustees of the Edgmoor school district, and, within a short time, will order an election j for lety$>?j^tqi( far the erection of a school j building afthfc placet Y i i Mr. Norman Elder run off the district line, last week. He has also been engaged in running off some land for Mr. Sidney Robinson. | Mr. Elder has favored Edgmoor with his j presence on several occasions, and his genial face is always welcome. j M& lJnpi, the much esteemed school commissioner'of Chester county, paid as a visit last week, in the interest of the district schools. He also visited other sections of the county while out on his trip. The Edigmoor choir met at the residence of Mr. T. W. Whitesides on Friday night for practice and though it was a "damp wet nighr' choir was well represented. They wflfweet at Mr. F. M. Simpson's next Friday night. Cupid has been getting in some good work in this community within the past week. Mr. W. E. Dickey and Miss Mary Workman were united in the bonds of holy wedlock at the residence of Rev. C. B. Betts on last Tuesday, and on Wednesday evening Rev. Pittman, pastor of Harmony church, performed the sacred rites which made Miss Addie Glasscock and Mr. W. L. Shaw one. Rev. Harley has been conducting a series of meetings at Mt. Holly church for the past week, which resulted in several accessions to the church. Mr. Harley will also conduct a meeting at no distant day at Friendship, his other charee. Rev. Peoples preached a very interesting j serene? at Edgmoor last evening to an attentive audience, his text being "Jesus, Lord remember me when thou comest into thy Kingdom," and the merciftil answer, "This day shalt thou be with me in Paradise." Rev. J. C. Galloway is expected to preach for us on next Sabbath, and the whole church looks forward with pleasure to his coming. Mrs. Cora Reid's school at Mt. Holly will close on Thursday, 26. If there is a teacher in the county who would like a situation, one could probably secure a school at that ph?oe, as some of the patrons told me they were desirous to continue the school, h. r. * ^ LETTER PROM KING S MOUNTAIN. '*'*0. .. . V Brlak Bin fat"' Amaag the Minerals?Wew Enterprise Projected In the Town?The Good Old Days That are Gone. Correspondence of The Yorkville Enquirer. King's Mountain, February 23.?For some months past our people have been more or less stirred up over the mineral outlook in this community. Every week adds new developments to the list; and really we do not see how a great outburst can be avoided. Prof. Furman, who has, for the most part, heen interested in the tin ore, has by no means given up in despair, but is now in Europe, where, I learn, be is meeting with much success in organizing a company in this interest. I cannot say positively that the tin mines of this vicinity will be developed at an early day, but there is no doubt, that sooner or later, the fact will be proven that King's Mountain has plenty of tin. As is well known, our gold and iron supply is inexhaustible. A ten stamp mill is now running day and night at the Catawba mihe, and the rich ore recently discovered has induced the company to contract for another mill of forty stamp capacity. The contract has been awarded to Capt. Wilkes, and the mill will be built as soon as possible, much of the lumber having already been placed on the ground. A great deal more might be said of this mine, but I do not deem it necessary just now, however. At the Ormand ore bank, from three to five car loads of the finest ore are being sent out each week, and to facilitate the loading of the same, the Richmond and Danville railroad has put down a side track. Capt. J. A. Smith, who is much interested in the manufacturing of iron and steel, has located at this place, and promises a furnace plant soon. There is no doubt about the fact that the furnaces must come to the ore, and we are so located as to command special attention. '* * - ' i - J -i _:i I Again,l am imormea mat a ieau auu #n*cr vein has been discovered, and that a specimen of silver ore taken out of the same assays about $2.61 per ton. In addition to all these, another cotton factory, *$19^000 hotel, and other grand improvements seem to be possibilities of the near future. A new paper, on a good sound basis, is now being published weekly. While it may seem to mauy a small matter of news, I have read what your fox hunting correspondent says with regard to reynard, with a great deal of pleasure. Somehow the telling of a fox chase stirs me up yet, and my mind naturally runs back to the bygone days when old Uncle Billy McCorkle, S. A. McEIwee, Loss Armstrong, Ben and John Campbell, Tobe and Bill Sandifer, Russell, Sam B. Carroll and others, knocked out more cotton, left down more fences, and caught more foxes, than any set of men that have ever been in the county since. Yes, we had the Bethel pack, the York pack (it was a poor one), the Saudifer pack, and the Shiloh pack. I tell you what, boys, if we couldn't clean up a ured" in mighty short order, I don't know the reason why. Oh, but it's fine sport. Even a mule will learn to love it. titus. LETTER FROM ROCK HILL. Death of Mrs. Caroline White?A Novel entertainment by the King's Daughter*?The Catawba Rifles?Trying to See the VicePreaideut?Violation of the Fertilizer Law* Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. Rock Hill, February 23.?Mrs. Caroliue C. White, wife of the late Rev. Jas. S. White, died at her home in this place on last Sunday | morning of congestion of the brain. She | had been ill only a few days. The funeral! services were conducted at the First Presbyterian church to-dav, by the following ministers: J. H. Thoruwell, Fort Mill; Dr. T. R. English, Yorkville; C. W. Humphreys, Lancaster ; W. J. Anderson and W. M. Anderson, Rock Hill. The services were very impressive and j there were few dry eyes in the large congre-1 gation that repaired to the church to pay its ! last respects to the loving Christian woman who has passed away. Mrs. White was a lovely woman and affectionate mother and true in all that God com-; manded. She hat! just passed her 51st year, i and leaves four children?three sons and! one daughter. The King's Daughters gave a very pleas-1 ant entertainment on last Friday night, the special feature of which was au auction "of j old maids." The auction consisted in the sale of pretty young ladies, their faces disguised beyond recognition, to the highestj bidder, and the result was just lots of fun. Mr. J. J. Hull acted as auctioneer, and I sold his precious chattels in such a way that the bidders had to buy altogether on faith. The only really disappointed purchaser of "an old maid" was the gentleman who bought Mr. Thomas Flowers, supposing him to be one of the prettiest of the pretty girls most hideously disguised. Although a good price was paid for Mr. Flowers, it turned out it was the purchaser who was sold. The Catawba Rifles are determined to be the crack company of South Carolina. At a recent meeting, for the purpose of getting up a generous and beneficial rivalry in practice, they were divided into two squads of twenty members each. Lieutenant J. F. Reid was assigned command of squad No. 1, and Lieutenant Frel Mobley, command of squad No. 2. A large number of our citizens went to the * N s \ depot on last Friday to get a glimpse of VicePresident Morton and party, on their way to Camden. When the train arrived, however, it was found that Mr. Morton was not on board. He will probably pass through later. The new organ for the Episcopal church has arrived and been placed in position. Assistant Attorney General Townsend was in Koclc Hill on last Tuesday, investigating irregularities in the matter of fertilizer tags. The investigation resulted, I learn from Trial Justice Waters, in the issuing of warrants for the arrest of Mr. Sep Massey and the agent of the G. C. and N. vailroad at Catawba Junction, charged with selling fertilizers that were not tagged. ..4.8 yet no arrests have been made. hal. NOTES FROM L0WRYSV1LLE. I Better Stick to the Farm 'thau Risk the Dau[ gers of a Freight Tralu?Rev. W. T. Mat* | thews Unanimously Called to the Pastorate oi ?ioii t nurca?uiuci- juu? n* Correspondence of The Yorkville Enquirer. Lowrysville, February 28.?Considerable anxiety was manifested here last week when it was learned there had been a fatal wreck on the Cheater and Lenoir railroad. The suspense lasted several days, though parties were seen the next day who had been to the wreck. The employe's of the railroad are very reticent about giving information in regard to an. accident. 'ITie re! suits of this appalling accident should teach j a lasting lesson to the young men of our country, who in their anxiety to get away j from the farm, are willing to brave the dan' gers of a freight train crew. ( A congregational meeting was held in Zion church yesterday moderated by Rev. B. P. Reid. Rev. W. T. Matthews was unanimously elected pastor of the church. The session was by a vote of the congregation authorized to sign the call, and a committee appointed to prosecute the same. It is hoped that Mr. Matthews will see his way clear to accept., Farming operations are very backward on account of the rain. Xo spring oats have been planted and not a furrow has been made in preparation for the coming crop. Mrs. J. A. Hope returned Friday from an extended visit to her p. rents at Lincolnton, N. C.

C., to take a position with his uncle. Capt. Hamlin, conductor on the Narrow Guage, who has been sick, has recovered sufficently to take a trip to New York. Mr. and Mrs. J. N. Steele of Rock Hill, spent a few days in Chester last week visiting the family of Mr. Walter Coleman. Capt. J. K. Marshall left last Saturday to attend a meeting of the grand lodge of A. O. U. W., qt Albany, Ga. There will be a meeting of the stockholders of the Chester Fair Association at the qourt house on the 2nd of March. Mrs. Dora Hinson died last Monday, and her remains were taken to Newton, N. C.,for burial. LETTER FROM FILBERT. The Capers of a Treacherous Mule Results lu a Broken Arm?Other Matters. Correspondence of The Yarkrille Enquirer. Filbert, February 21.?A serious accident occurred to Mr. and Mrs. Leander Packard last Thursday. They were returning in a buggy from a visit to a sick lady, and when near home the mule suddenly shied and threw them both into a gully. Mr. Packard escaped with but slight injuries, but Mrs. Packard's left arm was broken bv the fall. Mr. Robert Hagins had a runaway a few days ago, but came out of it all right with the exception of a few bumps and a broken thumb. 'mere are a goou unauy eases ui sieivucoo in this neighborhood just now and the number seems to increase rather than diminish. Mr. S. D.

C., is one of the most successful as well as most practical farmers of upper South Carolina. Mr. Hope never pays a dollar for a piece of work that he can have (lone in a far better manner for fifty cents or less. He goes on the principle that a dollar saved is a dollar made. Mr. Hope was in Yorkville a few days ago, and knowing that he owned a Corbin Disk Harrow, we took occasion to talk with him about that most valuable implement. We shall not attempt to repeat all the kind things said about the Harrow by Mr. Hope, but will only give those that are of special interest to fanners at this timo in consequence of the delayed condition of all kinds of farm work. He said : "Yes, sir, I own a Corbin Harrow, and have owned it for a number of years. I was the first farmer in my section to buy a harrow, but they are quite plentiful now. I don't think I could farm without it. and for two reasons, namely: 1. The thorough manner in which it does its work, and second, its wonderful speed." "I)o you use the harrow in sowing oats, Mr. Hope?1' "Yes, I sow all my oats with it, I can take a pair of mules and a Corbin Harrow and put in an acre of oats every hour I work, and the work will Ha well done." "DM you ever use the harrow for breaking: land?" "Well, I should say I had. I can take my Harrow and break any kind of tillable land to the depth of seven inches and break an acre every hour I work. This is the way it ia done: Out a green pine log, of say a foot iu droumferanee ami 4} feet in length, and fasten it to the beam to weight it down and then hitch four mules to it. The harrow will go in the ground to the axle. Of couree if you only desire to break your ground three inches, you take oil' your log and only use two mules." I have only a limited supply of C'orbin Harrows on hand, and would advise those who contemplate buying a harrow to call without delay. SAM M. (JRIST, Sole Agent. A Prosperous Decade. The New York Observer, which for more than half a century has stood at the head of religious papers, and has the entire confidence of its vast army of readers, published in its issue of February 12, no article four columns and-a-half in length giving a detailed and interesting account of the tenth annual meetiug of the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association of New York, on January 29,1891. The Observer's report is filled with interesting and valuable information to every man who is either carrying or expects to carry a policy on his life. The following extracts from the report are published in these columns in order that the reader may l>c able to form an opinion of the standing of the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association by those who are familiar with its mode of doing business: "Another year's work of the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association was rounded out on the 29th of January by the annual meeting, which was held in the Potter Building. As marking the completion of the first decade of the Association's existence, the meeting was of unusual interest. It occupied all the afternoon, and an enormous amount of business was got through with great expedition.* The attendance was large, and remarkably representative of the world-wide branching out of the Association. There were men there from all parts of the United States and Canada, from England, from (iennany, from France, and from tar Sweden. The Association is rapidly gaining a foothold in every quarter of Europe. Its foreign agents are overcoming all olwtaeles. No opposition seems to be able to stand before their presistent activity. The meeting was exceedingly enthusiastic, which is not to be wondered at when the prosperity and the great growth and stability of the Association'are considered. The otllcers were cordially received and were warmly thanked both in informal words and formal'resolutions for their services. Their reports were tilled with facts and figures and happy comments on the work of the Association. As they wero read they were loudly applauded, and they were unanimously adopted. That of Edward B. Harper, the popular and energetic president of the Mutual Reserve, got special tributes of praise. To Mr. Harper personally, an ovation was accorded ; and among all the terms of encomium applied to him, none was more appreciated and none was considered more fittting than the title of "the Napoleon ot Insurance," which more than one of his admirers bestowed on him. "Many telegrams of congratulation und greeting were received and read from absent friends in Europe and America. "The president called the meeting to order and said a few words of welcome. The secretary, F. T_ Bra man. having read the call for the meeting, the president, who was warmly applauded, read his tenth annual report." The Observer editorially calla attention to the article above quoted in the following words: "The Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association held its tenth annual meeting on Wednesday of last week. The report of the proceedings will repay perusal by any one who is interested in life insurance. We call especial attention to the elaborate report of the president, Edward B. Harper. The Association has passed the first decade, and by a steady and successful advance has proved that life insurance can bo made safely and wisely, without paying enormous premiums for policies, or fabulous sums for imaginary talent. During the past year the assets grew in amount by $466,311.83; the surplus fund increased nearly tive hundred thousand dollars; the interest account gained about one hundred thousand dollars, anu death claims were paid to the amount of $2,146,498.05. An emergency fund of a quarter of a million has been creuted so that all claims may lie promptly cashed. The address of President Harper explains the principles upon which this successful business has been conducted, and treats the whole subject of life insurance iu a comprehensive and able manner." I am prepared to funiisli any desired information in regard to the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association. J. S. BRICK, Uen'l Agent, Yorkvillc, S. C. February 25 3 It Club-Makers fur 1801.

WE DID IT?WE FILLED OUR CONTRACT TO THE LETTER. It was not a business proposition on our part; but 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 OF NOVEMBER, the day on which they became due. Many did appre'" te our efforts to relieve them and paid tneir accounts when due?some before. Some made little sacrifices to show their appreciation of our efforts to accommodate them. There are others, however, who seem to think that we can await their convenience and still furnish them with the luxuries and necessaries A 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 accounts 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 full, pay what you can and tell us when you wi ll pay the balance. We cannot afford to make new accounts with parties that have not paid their old accounts according to implied promise.
