Blacksburg, May 12.?The prolonged dry ^ spell of dry weather has enabled our farmers to get well up with their work, and unless we have rain very soon, they will have more leisure time than they can dispose of. Early cotton was killed in a few localities by the fronts of last week, but the area is kvery limited. Owing.to the lack of moisture, ^ loe piani m ooraiug up Btuurijr ouu fectly. i.l ... ' . The fVime building of Mr. Columbu3 Sar% ratt, sitUAted on Carolina street, near the Air Lino .hotel, was totally destroyed by lire on Wedtiesday night last between the hours of 9 and 10 o'clock. It was occupied by Mrs. E. J. Moore as a boarding house. A part of the furniture, which was covered by insurance, was saved, as was that of Mr. H. F. Bruce, one of the boarders. There was uo insurance on the house and, the total loss was about $1,500. The meeting of the York County Teachers' association was quite an event in our town last week, aud our people derived much pleasure and benetit from personal contact with the educators. We were also highly entertained by the essays read and the discussions elicited. In fact we so appreciate the gathering that we will be more than pleased to have it oome over again next year. There were three essays, or papers, to which I would call especial attention, as exhibiting an advance in the line of educational work, and . showing the efforts that our York county teachers are making to keep abreast of this progressive age. The first ?. paper referred to, is that of Miss Clarkson, of Kock Hill, on "Number Work;"the second is a paper on "History," by Miss Gist, of Yorkville ; aud the / third, an essay by Profi' Spes&ml, "et the Blacksburg Graded School, on "Manual Training." The latter qpgqiiqn was tho cause of quite a warm discussion, and although the paper met with some opposition,' a majority of the teachers favored the adoption of the system in the public schools. The main feature of this system is to train the body, hands, ete., at the same time that the mind is taught. In other words, to educate a boys hands to execute with skill, accuracy and readiness, any work that his mind may conceive and want carried out. Mra. A. C.

Fire?Kicked by a Sick Mule. Correspondence of The Yorkvllle Enquirer. Hickoby Gbove, May 12.?I am requested to state that Rev. S. H. Hay will preach at Beersheba on the fourth Sabbath of May. Whitewash and paint have added materially to the appearance of the premises of Mr. T. M. Whisonant and Mr. J. W. Castles. Quite a number of our citizens speak of attending the Columbia centennial. House building continues. Dr. J. W. Allison is building on the lot opposite the academy. Mr. W. H. Whisonant and Mr. C. M. Martin will put up handsome dwelling houses orrthe same lot,~st an early day. The lumber for these dwellings is now on the ground, and the caqrettfers will begin work in a short time. Vr'V v Those citizens of Hickory Grove who en joy si Morning pap, were aroused and alarmed early last Wednesday morning by the cry of kfre. ^'iMase volumes of smoke were issu^Dg Mora the dwelling house of Mr. J. Harris Wylie, , A crowd promptly gathered and ihefife'fcfts soon extinguished. Mr. Wylie suffered no. loss except that occasioned by tearing off a few shingles. The fire was caiustd by a defective chimney. Bill Arp, Josh Billings, or some of those i . funny fellows, said that if be had to preach J the funeral of a dead mule, he would be sure ] to stand at its head. Dead mules are prob- ] ably harmless, but so long as a spark of life < remains, they seem to be able to use their 1 heels with fatal facility. A.n illustration of j this fact unfortunately occurred in our midst yesterday. Mr. Sam. McDaniel was , assisting a neighbor to relieve a sick mule. . The mule was supposed to be affected with < colic?badly, dangerously affected. The time honored remedy of making the animal j move about in a lively manner was resorted , to in the hopes of giving relief. The mule J didn't want to move about iu a lively manner. He didnt want to move about iu any , manner. Mr. McDaniel, assisted by a whip, j ~ * undertook to supply the motive power. The , mule moved?the wrong end. Mr. McDaniel is now laid up with two broken ribs and j other injuries. I am glad to learn that he ] is better to-day, and hope to see him up in , a few days, none the worso for the accident. , bessel. ( LETTER KRoVsHARUN. . < Communion Yesterday?Residence of Mr. R. T. Biggins Burned?Other Matters. Correspondence of The Yorkville Enquirer. ' Sharon, May 11.?Communion services ' were held in the A. R. P. church at this ! place on yesterday. Rev. J. C. Galloway, of 1 Yorkville, came over on Friday and remain- ' t ed "until yesterday afternoon, preaching four 1 splendid sermons. There were six accessions tp the ghurch?three by certificate and 1 three by profession of faith. 1 Mr.'B. T. Riggins had the misfortune to 1 lose, his house by fire, last Friday night. ' Shortly after the family, bad retired, Mr. ! Riggins heard a rumbling noise, similar to 1 that which would be made by a buggy going ^ along the road on the outside. Instead of ! growing fainter, the noise became more dis- : tinct, ana ne got up to see^wnat tne mutter was. When he got into the cook room he " discovered that the house Avas on fire, and th&t the .flames were going through the roof. Everything was so dry that it Avas impossible to make much of a fight, and the building j was quickly consumed. A large portion of household effects, however, were saved from 4 ^ the fire, though many articles Avere considerably damaged by tiie rough and hurried removal. The loss Avill not fall short of $1,500, ] with no insurance. Mr. Riggins's friends, 1 however, of Avhich he has many, have al- 1 ready made liberal contributions for his re- 1 lief, and we hope to see the subscription ; amount, in the aggregate, to enough to build another house. Iudeed, I Avould be pleased, rather than surprised, to see the Avhole amount made good without any loss to Mr. ! Riggins, at all. We have just such a neighborhood as is capable of doing such a thing. If everybody will chip in a little, fifteen 1 hundred dollars might be raised, and nobody 1 seriously hurt. N ' The fire is supposed to have been accidental, though it is not knoAvn exactly hoAV it originated. The following is probably the ' most plausible theory. For some time past, ' * Mr. Riggins's family have been missing different articles out of the cook room. The I supposition is that the thief came to make ! another raid and struck a match to see what he was doing. The match avus carelessly 1 thrown down in some combustible material and the conflagration followed. Mr. Rig- 1 gins will rebuild as soon as possible. Mr. R. 8.

Correspondence of The Yorkvllle Enquirer. M Smyrna, May 11.?The weather is still] dry, and some of our people are dispairing j of ever getting any more rain. They think ! that it all fell last spring and there is not j enough left to get up a respectable dew. Some have about concluded that it is no use! to keep on with their work and are ready ! to quit. Others are redoubling their eilbrts,! striking harder licks as the ground gete drier, and they are bound to be at the "tank"' when the time comes to gather crops. 11 have never seen the time yet when, consider-1 ing all other circumstances, the crops that got the most work didn't yield the largest returns. The frost of last week killed most of the cotton that was already up, and also bit the corn very badly. I can't say whether it hurt the wheat and oats much or not. but I hope it didn't. The rust has already injured these crops to such an extent that they can't stand very much more. Mr. Julius A. Hope's store was burglarized last Friday night and about thirty-five or forty dollars worth of goods were stolen. There is as yet no clue to tteMhief, but whoever he was, was evidently familiar with the surroundings. Mr. Hope bad been in the habit of sleeping in the store, but on that particular night his family was away from home and he had left his poet. Some few articles, including two pairs of shoes and a bolt of calico, have been recovered, the Kiof iiavino- thrown them down on account of having more than he could carry. The depot question has been settled so far as Smyrna "No. 1" is concerned. We are to have a depot, aud 1 am informed that the railroad people will put in a siding in a few days. But we had to use the soap on them. The railroad people are not building depots just for the fUn of the thing just now. In the same manner that we have secured ours, I have no doubt that Smyrna "Nos. 2 and 3?' can also come in for a depot each. I would advise, however, that they oome together, agree on a place, raise the necessary cash, aud invite the railroad to build. That is about the only way there is to work it. brief REM ARK Kit. LETTER FROM UNION' COUNTY. About Hickory Grove?A Kat Killing Time? j Interesting Sketch of an Old Acquaintance, j Correspondence of The Yorkvllle Enquirer. Etta Jane, May 11.?I had the pleasure of attending the communion meeting of the A. R. P. church at Hickory Grove yesterday. Rev. Mr. Stewart preached two excellent sermons from the texts : Rev. ii, 7; and John xv, 4, respectively. I procured profuse notes of his sermons which it would be my pleasure to give the readers i f The Enquirer if it were at all practicable. We are proud to see the people of that virgin city moving along steadily in the pathway of prosperity. A high school is now in successful operation, and uo doubt in the near future the hum of a cotton mill will mingle its music with the steady tramp of its business men. Those of our people who visited friends at Sharon, and attended the meeting there yesterday, have returned highly pleased with the place and people. There is no douot aooui me "ivuse ui c?uuiuu ucmg ??.tractive. Mr. Thos. N. Kelly, chairman of our board of county commissioners, died at his home near Kelton, last week, with brain fever. This makes three county officers we have lost by death since the sitting of the last legislature. Our friend and neighbor, Clough Inman, had a general rat killing on his place last week. Some of his tenants were removing a pile of cotton seed, (about 25 bushels) in which they killed 129 full grown rats. The executioners were : Mun Parris, Jim Griffin, Enloe Dover and Jim Griffin's "fice. Jim Griffin "devours" that there were 129 big "uns," and that they let ""em" lie a day or two for people to see, and then took and put "em" uuder watermelon hills in the compost. In consequence of the dry weather, our farmers are about out of work. The ground is too hard to plow. All the old corn has been plowed around. Cotton isn't coming up very well. The cooj snap put a check to the growth of vegetation generally, jsome report their watermelon vines killed by frost. Some cases of typhoid fever are reported among the colored people, one of whom died last week on Mrs. Capt. Walker's place, near Sunnyside. In a copy of "The Winlock Pilot," a paper published in Winlock, Washington, we find an account of our old friend Mn W. Bryson Wall, formerly of ParrottsyUle, Tennessee, celebrating his seventieth birthday on the 25th ultimo. It is written by the editor. Among other thing>. it says : "After justice was done the edibles. Uncle "Bryson" arose, and in a feeling speoch thanked those present, and spoke in a ieeling manner of the many blessings lie nail received ai me nanus ui his tfeavenly Father during the seventy years of his life. He spoke of his wife and those of his children who had already crossed the dark river, md said that even now they, as ministering angels, might be present in-the room and hovering wound." Mr. Wall is well known to the people of this section and Western York. During the war he drove hogs from his home in East Tennessee and fattened them at Mr. J. Waddy Thomson's, and furnished bacon to the Confederate army. On account of this recession proclivities he was not permitted to remain at home in peace. Many of the soldiers of Longstreet's corps and Jenkins's brigade will remember how kindly his fajnily treated them during that memorable Tennessee campaign. Mr. Wall moved to Washington territory in the spring of 1884, and took with him tiis family, together with a colony of South Carolinians, who settled in and around the town of Wiulock, which ut that time numbered less that 75 inhabitants. This may appear as foreign matter for an ordinary newspaper correspondence, but it will fall under the eyes of hundreds of people who will be glad to know that Mr. Wall occupies a prominent place in the esteem af the people of the Pacific slope, and that although he has passed his "three score and ten years," he still retains his faculties, together with a grateful heart for the mercies of a kind Providence. Rev. G. S, Robinson will preach at Salem ae*t Sabbath, 17th instant, at which time the sacrament of the Lord's supper will be administered. Preaching will begin at 11 j'cloek a. m., Saturday next. The Sabbathjchool will meet at 10 a. an. on Sabbath morning. I am very sorry that I was unable to accept a very kind invitation to be at Miss FTarroll's school exhibition, near Hopewell, last Friday evening. From our knowledge jf those interested, we will venture to say that it was a success. LETTER FROM 00b Ll>. Damage by the Frost?Successful Meeting at Bullock's Creek. Correspondence of The Yorkville Enquirer. Goild, May 11.?The cool nights of bust j week were very unfavorable to cotton, and I in some places it M as actually killed by tue j frost. I hear of some cotton being planted I aver, but this is exceptional. The cry for j rain still comes up from every section, and | while a good rain M ould be most acceptable ! just-now, 1 don't think anything is hurting bad yet. If we get rain this week we will dill be all right. The oat crop Mould no doubt have been benefitted by rain, but then it would not bave done the wheat any good. Remember the old adage, ';a dry May for M'heat." A ^ood many M'ould rather have a somewhat wet May for cotton, for instance; but then you know the seasons are not going to regulate themselves altogether to the kind of crops we plant. The sacrament of the Lord's supper was administered to a large congregation at Bullock's ('reek yesterday by Rev. Mr. McLin. Mr. McLin has given us some excellent sermons. He was assisted 011 Saturday by Rev. \V. W. Ratchford. There were four accessions to the church?two by letter and two by profession of faith. Mr. Kd.

Damage by the Frost. j Correspondence of The York vllle Enquirer. j Fort Mill, May 11.?The Lcitch meetj ing is still going on with interest unabated. Our people have been unable to detect any hnril nhipntionuble lamruaire that I has been attributed to Mr. Leitch elsewhere, and everybody seemes to be well pleased j with the eelebrated evangelist. I The grand picnic of the Jell' Davis Memorial association came off in good style at Flint Hill last Saturday. There was probably a 1,000 or 1,200 people present, including about seventy veterans. They marched to the cemetery in a body and decorated the graves of the old soldiers, thirty-two in number, with flowers. After this ceremony the company repaired to the speakers' stand. The exercises here were opened by Rev. F. O. 8. Curtis, the chaplain of the association, and then Gen. E. M. Law, the speaker of the day, was introduced by Capt. S. E. White. Gen. Law made a splendid address, and it was greatly enjoyed by his hearers, particularly by the old veterans. Mr. J. H. Coltharp was present, wearing an old army canteen, a relic of the war. At first the boys came around him with a significant wink, hut they went away disgusted. There was nothing in it. After the speaking came a big dinner, just such a dinner as no other neighborhood but Flint Hill knows how to get up. Rut there is no need to describe it. All of the readers of The Enquirer who have not been here know just what it was anyway, especially if they remember the description of the Gold Hill layout last year. , /. ,r: . .- f , On Sunday morning the veterans met in the Presbyterian church at Fort Mill and the chaplain preached an able sermon to them.

Kit had not been the case nearly everything would have been killed by the frost*; As it was, the frost does not appear to have done a great deal of damage.

"I Now Consider It Indispensable." T xtraalr T annniinnArt thftt I WOIlld DUblish a statement from Mr. W. S. Wilkerson in regard to the Corbin Disk Harrow that would amaze every farmer who reads it. I should have added, "Provided the reader does not own a harrow himself" for I don't think those who have used the implement any. length of time will be surprised at Mr, . Wilkerson's statements. I will say for the information of those who are not personally acquainted with him, that he is not only one of York's most progressive and successful formers, (and to be one of this class is no small achievement, because there is probably no county iu the South that can boast as many) but he is also one of the kind who don't talk simply for the sal^e of making a noise. Read what he has to say about the best agricultural implement in tho world, alter using it for about eighteen months: Hickoky Gkovjb, S. 0., March 23, 1891. Mr. Sam M. Grist, Yorkville, S. C.: Dear Sir? I bought a No. 7 Corbin Disk Harrow from you in October, 1889. I was delighted with it the first time I tried it. 1 now consider it an indispensable implement on the farm. No farmer who looks alter his own interest can afford to he without it. To give an idea of its value at this time, when every former is so for behind with his work, 1 will say that I can take my Harrow, with one hand and 4 mules, and put 100 to400 pounds weight on the Harrow, ami break eight acres of corn-stalk, cotton-stalk or stubble fond in one day, and prepare it deeper and better in every way than can be done with 8 mules and 8 hands in "the ordinary way. [I have a weight box on my Harrow. It is the length of the beam, and is 9 inches wideat the bottom, 11 at top, and about 10 inches deep. It is fastened on to the beam with bolts. 1 Last spring I plowed up my cotton stalks, and with the Disk Harrow and 2 mules, cut up the stalks and pulverized my land to the depth of five inches at the same operation, and at the rate of an acre an hour. Wheat and oats can be put in with it much better than the ordinary way. One hand and 2 mules is all that is necessary to put in eight to ten acres a day. The best prepared land I have ever had was a piece of heavy weed stubble turned in the fall and cut up with the Corbin Harrow in tho spring. In conclusion, let mo say that the Harrow thoroughly breaks and pulverizes the land and leaves it in a porous condition. Lund that has been pulverized with a Corbin Harrow will not hake. Respectfully, W. S. Wilkkkson. 1H POUNDS OF SUGAR FOR Sl.OO. I AM now selling EIGHTEEN pounds of STANDARD GRANULATED SUGAR for ONE DOLLAR.

JL is a question asked by many interested visitors to the old Church Yard! No marks on the fallen down headboard to answer the question; the weeds and wild vines are fost hiding the little mound made years before. Is it possible that we are so soon to be forgotten, when it was with the greatest effort that we could allow oui dear ones to be put in the cold earth that day? With bleeding hearts and tear bodimmed eyes we leave the graves, making resolutions tnat should be kept; resolutions that sounded sweet in our own ears and gave consolation and encouragement. Remember the dead. Keep the graves free from the weeds, and engrave the names of our loved ones on tablets of stone. It need not necessarily lie expensive, for you can mark the spot for from two dollars up. A Word About MONUMENTS AND TOMBSTONES MAV nrobablv be of interest to you. I have added, and wifl continue to add, to the late Mr. nappe rlleld's stock of Tombstones, and now you can have a large variety of styles to select from.

' i To brighten your carpets pour a few drops of , May's Domestic Ammonia in warm water and | apply the eolation with a clean cloth. When acid of anykind gets on vonr clothing, May's Domestic Ammonia will kill its effect, but you will have to apply chloroform to restore the color.

Sewing machine oil may be removed from a* . white apron in a few seconds by an application ' of May's Domestic Ammonia.
