Correspondence of The Yorkvllle Enquirer. Blacksbubg, March 24.?Evidences of the arrival of gentle spring are abundant, and none of its predecessors ever met with a warmer welcome than the one which greeted the present cheering and life giving season. Of course winter may "linger in her lap &c," and we may have an Easter storm, but the thought will not hinder us from enjoying the present delightftil weather and making the most of it. Tbe. election of intendant and four wardens for our town passed off* very quietly yesterday. While much interest was manifested in the result and a great deal of quiet work done, yet there was no undue excitement and not the slightest disturbance of the peace. This certainly speaks well for the orderly habits of our citizens, and the effective police system our town is under. There were three tickets in the field and the successful candidates were: J. D. Kennedy, intendant; D. L. Brown, W. B. Sherer, H. M. Angle, W. Anderson, wardens. With the exception of the last named warden, the others all had the honor of serving in the same capacity during the past year, and their re-election shows the appreciation of their services by their fellow citizens, and is sufficient comment upon the way in which they discharged the duties of their positions. Two gentlemen from Milwaukee, Wis., arrived here yesterday and are stopping at the Commercial hotel. They are here for sporting purposes, and to escape the severe cold of the northwest. One of them, J. Nonnora, is a native of Japan, and his companion, E. P. Allie, is an American. Iron ore is being taken from the mines near this place for shipment to the John I. Middleton Steel and Iron Ore Co., at Spar row's Point, near Baltimore, Md. Messrs. E. P. Dennis and James Markland of Lowell, Mass., and C. H. Poland of Providence, R.

Tripp, the new superintendent of the Three C's, has taken a suite of rooms at Cherokee Inn and will bring his family here in the course of a month. Mr. S. B. Lumpkin, who has been appointed soliciting agent for the South Carolina and Three C's railroads, and the Cyde Line of steamships, will also have his headquarters at this place. vv. a. LETTER PROM UNION COUNTY. The Unsettled Weather?Small Grain-Treacherous Fords?Weather Prophet. Correspondence-of The Yorkville Enquirer. Etta Jane, March 23.?A peculiarly unsettled state of weather has been prevailing fofr the past week. It seems to be undecided between rain and sunshine, calms and storms, heat and cold. Small grain crops sowed last fall are looking well, especially wheat. But the acreage is so small that even a bountiful crop will give but little relief in the bread market. Our farmers, many of them, at least, are wonderfully negligent in making the necessaries of life a "specialty" in their business. One of the results of this indifference is that we haven't got a respectable flouring mill in this county at which to grind the wheat we do make. Capt. James T. Moorhead came near bet ing drowned at Owen's ft>rd, on Thickety creek, one day last week. During the freshets the ford had been washed out ten or twelve feet deep, and the captain rode in altogether unsuspicious of the fact. At Smith's Ford, on Broad river, 011 the 18th instant, a wagon washed over the "riffle," and becoming uncoupled, the hind wheels and body floated of!', but the team and fore wheels were taken out safely. On the same day Mr. J. F. Woflbrd's wagon, with a load of goods, was stalled in the ford. On account of the high water, the team was unhitched and the wagon was chained to a tree on the bank and left until Saturday when it was drawn out. Although next Friday is Good Friday, our gardeners have done little or nothing as yet in their gardens. I don't know what those old women who can't have beans and vegetables, if they fail to plant on that day, will do. Another weather prophet has "bobbed up" in -this county, in the person of Mr. Moses Martin. We can now have the weather bureau run at home as well as it was ever done in Canada. There is nothing like home production anyway. Mr. H. C. Strauss of Yorkville, visited his brother-in-law, Dr. M. J. Walker, last week. Mrs. Walker has been quite sick, but is getting better now. Rev. J. D. Bailey preached at Abingtjpn Creek yesterday from Psalms ii, 4. skjma. SHARON NOTES. Impatient to Plant Corn?Sharon's Ores? Personal Mention. Correspondence of The Yorkville Enquirer. Sharon, March 23.?If there is no more rain this week a good deal of corn will be planted, although very little ground has been prepared. I suppose a good deal of it will be disposed of by simply running a furrow and breaking out the middle after the corn is planted. Mr. Ambler, a shoe drummer, who is interested in several mining enterprises, was in town last week. He saw some specimens of Sharon ores, and was so highly pleased with them that he proposes to come hack again soon aud make further investigations. Miss Alice Adams of Bethel, is on a visit to her sisters, Mrs. John B. Ross and Mrs. John A. Byers. Mrs. Jennie Deal of Blacksburg, visited her brother, Mr. J. C. Brown, at this place, last week. Miss Maggie Caldwell is attending the high school at this place. j. LETTER FROM ROCK HILL. The "Magic City" to Have au Arch of Her Own-Explosion of a Gasoline Tank?Other Jottings of luterest.

Rock Hill, March 23.?A meeting of -U!? of fVic* rnnma nf fHp lifiOlYl (.'1U2VU9 HUO IIC1U av vuv iw?w.> v? ?..w of trade last Saturday to take steps to have Rock Hill represented in the decorations of Main street of Columbia on the occasion of the coming centennial celebration. There was much interest manifested and the entire community will see to it that the "Magic City" has as handsome an arch as will be on the street. The following committee was appointed to arrange details: W. B. Wilson, J. R. London, S. L. Reid, Dr. T. A. Crawford, David Hutchison, W. ft. Kay, A. R. Banks, R. T. Fewell, J. J. Hull. The gasoline tank on the peanut roaster in the store of B. N. Craig exploded on Saturday last, setting fire to the store and injuring the boy in attendance. Trial Justice Waters continues to perform the marriage ceremony. On Sunday afternoon he made one of a couple that came from Salisbury, N. C. It was the old story? "left the old folks at home." Rev. J. Q. Adams has accepted his call to Asheville, N. C., and will leave for that city in April. Vice-President Morton's private car passed through Rock Hill on Sunday, on its way to Camden, where Mr. Morton's wife and daughter have heen stopping for some weeks past. Lumber for building the Electric Railway ! bridge across the C. C. and A. railroad has ! been received, and work will commence at once. The revival meeting in St. John's M. E. church is in progress, and is largely attended by all denominations. The services are interesting and instructive, and those who go once want to go again. They will continue during the week. Rock Hill carried off the honors at the Charleston Medical college t his year. They were awarded to Mr. J. R. Miller, who received the college prize, a handsome silver goblet, for the best examinations. Next Sunday is Easter arid the Episcopal congregation will decorate their church with flowers and evergreens. Services will be conducted by the rector. The death of Maj. Halcott P. Green, treasurer of the lunatic asylum, which occurred in Columbia, on Thursday last, was much regretted by his former friends in this com munity. During his residence nere ne aiu much good, especially for the church, of which he was a member, and it can be truly said that a good man is gone. Rev. Mr. Sweeny, of the Episcopal church, will hold a special service for the children of the town in his church on Sunday afternoon at five o'clock. hal. LETTER FROM CLAY HILL. Pilgrim Mentions Some Existing Evils and Comments Thereon. Correspondence of The YorkvlUe Enquirer. Clay Hill, March 23.?For several weeks past your correspondent has been on the wing?not so much on the wing as in the rain, in the mud, in the water?in the great waters and surging floods such as are calculated to remind one of Noah and his billowy experience. The trite subject of conversation in all circles, and especially that of the farmer, has been the rain and wet weather. Local weather prophets, Mr. Porter's opinion to the contrary notwithstanding, have no longer any weight in this community. Even the famous Hicks has lost his hold upon the credulity of our people. Farmers at this time last year had their manure in the ground, but such is not the case now. Seldom in the memory of the oldest citizens have the farmers been so far behind, and the outlook is gloomy indeed. But brother farmers, let me entreat you to make the best of the situation, and for your own prosperity and the country's good, cut down the acreage in cotton by at least one-fourth. Inasmuch as your farming operation are greatly retarded, you have never had a better opportunity, and now is the time to take advantage of it. It is idle to talk of rising superior to present conditions so long as you raise all cotton to the exclusion of bread and meat. Your past experience tells you this, and you know it just as well as I do. If you want to pay for that mule you bought this spring, and nearly all of usjiave bought mules, put in less cotton and raise something to feed it on. It is alarming to those of us interested in the success and welfare of the farmer, to see his wild extravagance in buying stock to raise cotton at six and eight cents. I don't like to publish it far and wide, but we are enjoying ourselves with the "itch," in this neighborhood. A young man told me that he had not had a good night's slejep in a month. It is scratch, scratch, scratcli all the time. His experience at a party on the! Three C's, one night not long ago, was thrilling. The nauseous smell of sulphur and brimstone, connected with the furtive glances and restless movements of the victims of this merciless tyrant, reminded him of Milton's description of Tartarus. Another young man, who is anxious to visit his sweetheart in Santuc, has to forego that pleasure through fear of inoculation. pilgrim. LETTER FROM BLAIRSYILLE. Encouraged by the Outlook for Fair Weather?Condition of the Roads?The Oat Crop? Sickness?Other Matters. Correspondence of The Yorkvllle Enquirer. Blairsville, March 23.?At this writing there is every promise of fair weather, and the farmers are all smiles and hope. If there is any such thing as blues, the farmers have certainly had them, and so far as I know, the prospect of a few weeks of sunshine is their only hope of relief. The farmers are trying to haul their guano, but it is very slow work on account of the fearful condition of the roads, and there is a great deal of complaint in consequence. But there is no help for it. It is silly to think of calling out the road hands until some of the mud dries up. I have heard the fear expressed that the late sowing of oats has "soured in the sprout." But I don't think there is anything in it. A few days of sunshine, and a good stand will dispel all uneasiness. The Blairsville school has been suspended on account of the illness of the teacher, Miss Deal. It is hoped, however, that she will be able to resume work again in a few days. Mrs. Rebecca Lucas has returned home after a few days visit to her son, Mr. Jim Lucas of Blacksburg. Mr. Robert Hayes, Jr., \ylio has been engaged in railroading for the past few years, has returned home to engage in farming. W. B. Sherer of Blacksburg, made a flyinir visit to friends and relatives at Blairs j ville last week. i Mrs. Newton Williams of Chester, who I is visiting the family of Mr. Joseph L. Plaxj co of this place, was taken violently ill last week, but I am glad to report that she is now much better. La grippe is playing sad havoc with some of our people, and our Dr. Joe Save is kept quite 1 busy. Rev. G. S. Robinson will preach at Bul! lock's Creek next Sabbath at 11 o'clock. Miss Mary Moore, who has charge of the j Rossville school, is at home sick with la grippe. tkjlkr. NOTES FROM GROVKR. Auspicious Weather?Working the Streets? Hev. Thomas Dickson?Sunday-school Convention. ; Correspondence of The Yorkvllle Enquirer. Grover, N. C\, March 23.?Again the j weather is all that we could wish. A bright bice sky, a warm sun and a March wind. J And better still, the farmers are actually at ! work, and not sitting around discussing the . situation. Our efficient town marshal, Mr. G. W. Hunt, mustered his forces this morning and , is giving the streets a much needed working. In some places they resemble the pub! lie roads of the neighborhood. Rev. Thomas Dickson preached an excellent sermon to a large congregation here yesterday. He pointed out some of the j mistakes the Baptist denomination has made ; and is still making, and showed that these WW WWW wwwwwwwmistakes are a great drawback to Christianity and to religion. Mr. R. C. Ellis, formerly of this place, but now of Spartanburg, was here yesterday. He seems well pleased with his new home. The people of Antioch neighborhood are preparing for the Sunday-school convention which meets with that church next Friday. c. c. h. NOTES FROM HICKORY GROVE. Some Points About People You Probably Know. Correspondence of The Yorkville Enquirer. Hickory Grove, March 24.?Miss Bessie Wylie of Yorkville, is visiting friends and relatives here. Mrs. Sarah Wylie is visiting her daughter, Mrs. Richard Peoples. Messrs. Ed. Davies and Edgar Thomasson of Blacksburc. spent Sunday in town. Mrs. Ida Meek of Yorkville, and Miss Lizzie McGill of Smyrna, are the guests of Dr. J. W. Allison's family. Miss Mary V. Edwards of Baltimore, arrived this week to take charge of the millinery department of Mrs. C. M. Martin. A "rainbow" party was given Friday evening at the residence of Mr. W. J. Moorhead, in which the young people of the town participated. The evening was enjoyed by all parties. bessel. YORK BAPTIST SUNDAY-SCHOOL CONVENTION. Y'orkville, March 23,1891. Editor of The Enquirer : I have been requested to anuounce through the columns of your paper that delegates and visitors to the Baptist Sunday-school convention, which meets at Antioch church on next Friday, 27th instant, will be met at Grover, N. C., whether they go on the east or west-bound Air-Line train. Persons going by way Blacksburg will reach Grover the same afternoon they leave home, as the Three C's and the east bound train on the Air-Line make close connection at Blacksburg. All who contemplate going should notify J. R. Dickson, chairman of the committee on entertainment, Grover, N. C., at once. P. J. M. Osborne, Secretary. Not a License, but a Tax.?Acting Secretary Nettleton, ofthe treasury department, has issued a circular letter modifying the form of government special tax stamp for retail liquor dealers, so as to clearly show that the United States does not authorize the sale of liquor contrary to State or municipal regulations. The letter says: "Letters are frequently received at tho department stating that in many parts of the * ' 1.^1,1 ? country retail liquor neaiers ciuiui w nu?u u permit, or license from the United States, for carrying on their business; that in many cases where local law prohibits public drinking places, the law is openly violated by persons who claim to do business under at least the moral sanction of the 'Federal license,' and that this fact, together with a belief common among many good citizens that the United States government does in fact issue such licenses, greatly retards the enforcement of wholesome restrictive laws and promotes disorder. "It should be unnecessary to state that the United States government does not issue a license or permit of any nature to any person in any State to carry on the business of a retail liquor denier, and it is dilficult to understand how any intelligent citizen can be imposed upon by the opposite claim. Congress having levied a revenue stamp tax of $25 per annum 011 the business of a retail liquor dealer, the commissioner of internal revenue endeavors to collect that tax, wliereever and by whomsoever the busineas is carried 011, but no semblance of permission, express or implied, is given by the United States government in its revenue laws or otherwise, to begin or continue such busineas in any place contrary to local legislation. "Hereafter the following will be inscribed across the face of the stamp to be issued to retail liquor dealers : " 'This stamp is simply a receipt for a tax due the government, and does not exempt the holder from any penalty or punishment provided by the law of any State for carrying on said business within such State, and does not authorize the commencement or continuance of such business contrary to the laws of such State, or in places prohibited by the municipal law.' " [ The Tariff on Sugar.?Will there be a drop of 2 cents a pound in the price of sugar after April 1 ? If so, then the consumer will see that high tariff rates do raise prices and that a lower tariff all round would be for his benefit. If the price does not fall, the sole claim of the Fifty-first congress to the gratitude of taxpayers will be shown to be lost. Under the old law the tariff on unrefined sugar up to No. 16 Dutch standard, was 2jc. a pound. On refined sugar up to No. 20 Dutch standard, the duty was 3 cents a pound. On all sugar above No. 20 the duty was 3A cents a pound. Under the new tariff law unrefined sugars?those above No. 16 Dutch standard?will, after April 1 next, be free of duty, while all refined sugars will pay but Ac. a pound. On the theory that the tariff is a tax, there is room under I the new law for a drop in the wholesale price of from 2 to 2$c. a pouud. Housekeepers will find their expenses reduced thereby to an appreciable extent, and will wonder why clothing, spool thread, buttons, carpets, etc , were not reduced to a like extent. The answer is of course that American sugar is made in Louisiana, while the American articles just named are made in the section for whose exclusive benefit the United States is supposed by our lawmakers to exist.?

An Illinois pnper, in speaking of the Disk Harrow, says: "A fool can run it successfully ; a cripple, with both legs and one arm gone, cs.n do more and better work with it than a twolegged and two-armed giant can in the old way ." We have never seen the al>ove test made, but we are certain that one able lx)dieci man with two mules and a No. 7 Corbin Harrow, can put in as many oats in a day as five men and five mules can by the old way,? and we are also certain that the oats put in with the liaiTow will bo left in better condition than those put in with a plow. There is no doubt that the^'orbin Disk Harrow is 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 so simple in construction that it can be operated as successfully by a twelveyear-old boy as by a grown man. From time to time during the past eighteen months wo have published testimonials from well known and successful farmers who are using Corbin Harrows, and now for the information of those who may prefer verbal testimony, we give below a list of farmers who are using the Harrow, and invite any who may be interested in the mntfor to interview as many of them as may be convenient, ami ascertain whether or not the Harrow is all thnt is claimed for it. Get your disinterested neighbors' oral testimony. Here is the list: B. G. Brown, Rufus J. Davis, Gko. L. Rmni.k, L. W. Louthian, W. T. IIkrron, J. Clinton Patrick, Jno. M. Tiiomasson, Elias C.

New York, March 21,1891. rpiIROUGH the columns of THE ENQUIRER, I wish to state to my frlonds and customers IN YORK AND ADJOINING COUNTIES, thai for the past few days I have been busily engaged in soleeting my SPRING STOCK OF DRESS GOODS, MILLINERY AND GENTS' FINE CLOTHING, which I am satisfied will surpass any line of goods ever oxhibited in my Btore, which to say the least of it, gives assurance that my stock this season will be lacking in nothing, and that it will be "hangup." By "our own efforts we liave built up a large and paying business, and by our own efforts wo propose to mantain it," is a stereotyped phrase which would apply to my business if one or two alterations were made. However, if good goods and square dealings, is to count for as much in the future as it has in tho past, my full share of the public's patronage is assured and LATIMER'S BAZAAR is bound to continue) to bo headquarters for all kinds of first-class Dry Goods. As to MILLINERY AND DRESS GOODS, I just enjoin my friends to wait until my goods can arrive, and I will show them something lovely, at prices that can't be touched in the YORKVILLE MARKET, nor beaten in any other. If you want a nice Suit of Clothes, remember that LATIMER can furnish it and save you money. Ludies, if you want a nice Dims, you had better wait till LATIMER'S STOCK COMES IN. Ladies, if you want a nice pair of Shoes, as a matter of course you will get them at LATIMER'S BAZAAR. WM. C. LATIMER. GENTLEMEN, IF yon want a nice, stylish DERBY HAT you should hear in mind that LATIMER'S FASHION BAZAAR is the place to get it. FINE JEWELRYANI) WATCHES.

The Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association HA S already paid to the widows and orphans of deceased members death claims to the amount of more than 10,000,000.00. It has a CASH SURPLUS of more than 2,777,000. It is FIRST in all things and LEADS all others. It pr ys dividends annually after TEN years. Its Reserve or Emergency Fund, now held for the protection of its policy-holders, is nearly equal :o the combined capital stock of all the Old Lino Companies of the State of New York. It i> the only Company or Association in this countiy that has placed its entire Reserve Fund with Governmental Departments or separate financial corporations as Trustee for its protection and fir the benefit of policy-holders. THE POLICY-ITS ADVANTAGES. 1st. It is free from technicalities and is a marvel of simplicity. 2d. 11 does away with all restrictions on Residence, Occupation and Travel. 3d. After oeing in force for three years, it is non-forfeitable. 4th. It is practically indisputable and ineontestildeand provides a certain legacy instead of a possible lawsuit. 5th. It has a cash surrender value. In short, if the insured pays his premiums while ho lives, the company will pay the policy when bodies. A Few Facts That Should Be Known. This Association has been officially examined, approved and indorsed by the Insurance Departments of the States of New York, Missouri, Wisconsin, Colorado, Minnesota, Rhode Island, Michigan, Ohio, West Virginia, and Price, Wuti rhouse A Co., the celebrated chartered accountants of London, England. Also by a number of acturics and insurance experts. This Association has from the date of its organization paid all just and legitimate death claims in full and in most cases before they were due. The Mutual reserve has never lost a SINGLE DOLLAR of its Reserve or Emergency Fund by peculation or through bad management or utiw.se investments, or through speculation. The Association has had more official and nonofficial examinations since its organization, l?y dift'erent insurance departments, actuaries, uc eourtants and experts, than all the companies or the old high rate system comhined. The result every ofllcial or iioti-nilicial examination made has been a complete endorsement of tl?u Association and its management. The management challenges a contradiction of the statement, "That in no single instance in ovei fifty examinations made by Insurance Departments, actuaries, accountants, auditors and experts, has a single adverse report been made showing that the business of the Association was not properly conducted or its legitimate claims promptly paid in full, or that a single claim was improperly resisted." 'I hut not a singlo Hank, Trust Company or other financial institution could have survived theattaeksand slanders such as have been heaped upon the Mutual Reserve by its powerful competitors, while establishing and placing on a firm basis, Tire Natural Premium System which furnishes Life Insurance ai. about half the usual rale charged. WHICH ? Do you not consider it would he the part of wisdom and common business sense, to secure$2,INK) insurance in the Mutual Reserve for the same eost you would have to pay the Old line Companies for $1,INN) only ? In other words, are you satisfied to secure j>l,(NN) insurance in the Old Line System Company, when for the same cost you can secure to your family or estate ?2,INN) in the Mutual Reserve? The insurance given by the Mutual Reserve is as safe and reliable as that of any company in the world, and costs only such a sum as will pay death losses, moderate e> penses, and a reserve created for the purpose of guaranteeing the payment of every just death claim.
