LETTER FROM UNION COUNTY. Miscarried Letter?Friday's Storm?Hog Cholera?"Hard Times aiid Some Reflections Thereon." Correspondence of the Yorkvtlle Enquirer. Etta Jane, December 5.?My last letter, by some means, failed to reach The Enquirer in time to appear in its columns. I'll start a little sooner for next week. Yesterday morning a fierce storm of wind and rain passed over this section, followed by a lowering of temperature. Several hogs have died lately in this neighborhood, supposed to have been affected with ohoiera. Everybody is still crying out hard times; and I am sorry to see such an inimical spirit cropping out as is calculated, in a great measure, to destroy the confidence and unity that ought to exist between the farming and mercantile classes. In some cases the merchants are being abused for not agreeing to sell goods on credit next year. This nonsense is too thin for me to notice. Your correspondent is, and always has been, a credit buyer, ana ne knows that unless he meets his obligations in some way, the merchant can't keep up his business. We don't look upon our merchants generally as a set of ihgrates, thieves and sooundrels, but on the other hand as firstclass gentlemen. Yet we have no right to expect them to perform impossibilities?buy and sell goods without money. When the farming class do all they can to meet their debts and pay their bills, their reputation for honesty will be a potent factor in bridging over the difficulties of next year. There is no danger of anybody starving in this country yet awhile, if they will try to keep from it by honest dealings. The Psalmist says: "I have never seen the righteous forsaken nor his seed begging bread." Mr. William Strain is still at Pacolet mills, visiting his daughter, Mrs. I. J. Horn. Several hundred acres of land is to be sold in this county next sales-day. From present appearances it will sell cheap. A great many families are talking of going to the factories to work. sigma. FORT MILL NOTES. Correspondence of the Yorkvllle Enquirer. Fort Mill, December 7.?Dr. Meacham arrived at Fort Mill last Thursday and has opened a drug store in the room left vacant by Massey & Hughes when they moved into their new quarters. The committee having in charge the erection of the monument to the Confederate veterans of Fort Mill township, is putting up a'neat wire fence around the plat on which the monument will stand. c.

The Testimony of Six Witnesses. Below will be found the testimony of six reliable witnesses, which we think entirely sustain our claim that the various styles of Sewing Machines sold by us are equal in every particular to any machine on the market: Yorkviile, S. C., December 7,1891. Mr. L. M. Grist, Proprietor of The Yorkville Enquirer : I have been using the "Peerless" Machine ordered from you for some time, and find it in all particulars equal to the best sewing machines on the market. Yours truly, (Miss) J. S. Wilkie. Filbert, S. C., Mav 20,1890. Capt. L. M. Grist : Dear Sir?i take pleasure lr? o/Minrr mxr t/wtimnnv na fn thfi value of VOlir Premium Sewing Machine. The machine I bought of you last fall has given and is giving entire satisfaction. It is all that is claimed for it, and more too. I would advise all who want a first-class.machine at a fair price to buy yours. M. C. Parrott. Fort Mill, S. C., December 8th, 1890. L. M. Grist, Editor of Yorkville Enquirer : Dear Sir?i received my Sewing Machine indue time, and find it to be everything that you claimed it to be. I would not be without it for double its cost: and can say to those in need of a good Sewing Machine that they need not hesitate to purchase your Premium Machine. ^Mrs. J. R. Jenkins. Tucker, Texas, February 20,1891. Capt. L. M. Grist, Yorkville, S. C.: Dear Sir?I received the Sewing Machine in a few weeks after ordering it, and my wife is well pleased with it. It does as good work as Machines sold here for from $35.00 to $00.00. I advise every one who wants a good machine at an honest price to buy this Machine. C. Mason Smith. Hickory Grove, S. C., February 9, 1891. Editor of The Enquirer?I am so well pleased with the Improved Singer Sewing Machine that I bought from you last fall for $10.00, that I want to tell everybody who may need a machine not to think of buying any other than your Premium Machine. It is everything that is claimed for it, and it sells for less than half what other machines sold in this county, are sold at. Very respectfully. Mrs. W. T. Hoffman. Tirzah, S. C., September 28,1891. L. M. Grist, Yorkville, S. C.?It affords me freat pleasure in testifying to the value of your 'remium Sewing Machine, the Chicago Singer, which I bought from you last February. It came promptly, was in perfect order, and complete in every respect. For neatness of workmanship and finish, as well as easy motion and perfect sewing, I have never seen its superior, and the cost?only about one-half of other machines sold through the country by agents. I would not today take "Forty acres and a mule" for it, if I thought I could not get another exactly like it. Respectfully, J. R. Comer. OBITUARY. Died?At Utica, Hinds county, Miss., on November 11, 1891, Mr. HAMILTON M. JACKSON, a native of York county, aged about 59 years. He died of malarial typhoid fever.

Every Article in our Stock will Be Disposed of at Cost Before January 1, '92. JF you remember, several months ago, the firm of A. Y. CARTWRIGHT A CO., announced that on January 1st, 1892, the copartnership existing between A. Y. CARTWRIGHT and W. M. ALLISON, would be dissolved, and while we do not deem it necessary to reitenite the statement in these columns, such is the fact, and we have been constantly reducing our stock with hut mm in vi?w. However, while our stock is not us large us it might otherwise have heen, it is complete in every detail, and is composed of the best and most seasonable goods, as has been indicated above, and before that dissolution shall take place, it is desirable that as many of these goods as possible be converted into money by the date herein mentioned. The more money we have and the less goods in our possession, ! I the more satisfactory will be our settlement. It is easier to divide money than goods. A Sacrifice to Close Out! I To dose these Hoods out, or any considerable quantity of them, on a market like this, in the condition that the country is now said to be in, will require considerable sacrifice on our part, which is A SAt'K I KICK THAT WE HAVE DETERMINED To MAKE!

I ( rjlHE PROPRIETOR OF LATIMER'S BAZAAR announces the facr, that he has cut tho prices 011 ALL HEAVY WINTER GOODS, f BUchasGENTS' CLOTH! NG, BOOTS, SHOES, E i UNDERCLOTHING, JEANS, OVERCOATS 1 and LADIES' CLOAKS AND WRAPS. 1 This cut means CASH AND CASH ONLY, and until January 1st, 1892, will offer tho biggest inducements for the money ever known in Dry Goods circles. This scheme has been adopted with two objects in view. First, to assist tho people in obtaining tho absolute necessities in my line at tho lowest possible price, even at the sacrifice of our legitimate profits, and I must and will expect cash in every instance; and if our peoplo need goods, i give mis uppurtuuujr, which only happens once in a lifetime. Second, I owe Northern merchants which can ' only be settled with cash, and rather than ask ' them to carry our paper over, we will sacrifice ( our year's work as explained in the preceding paragraph. By January 1st, we are going to be square with the world, if peoplo want our goods and pay as much of their account* as they possi- . bly can. Remember that "The Bazaar" will i begin to hum today; that cash will be the watchword, and that our prices WILL KNOW NO COMPETITION ! Tho old lady shown above is pleading with her husband for a $.r> William, with which to go Latimer's to buy \ pair of Shoes under his "Great Shoe Sale" offer, which will continue until December 25th. Under our "Shoo Sale" proposition, together with the offer above, a $5 William has the purchasing power of about seven dollars, which is a matter not to be sneezed at, in times liko this. Observe the expression on the old lady's face, anticipating a refusal from her husband, Mr. Tightpurse. The refusal did not come. His head was clear and tho proposition too plain. In conclusion, allow mo to say to those of our customers who have paid their accounts that we will remember them kindly in the future, and it will be our desire and hope to accommodate them in every way in our power.

It is the finest flour we lave ever handled. We don't think it ispossi?le to make a finer or better article, and if we 1 ver find anything better we shall certainly buy ^ t, as it is our determination that our customers 1 hall have the very best. We now have in stock ' bout a car load of 100 PER CENT., and also a c airly largo stock of other brands. j WITH SOME PEOPLE Joffee is coffee, regardless of the fact whether it a good, bad or indifferent, while others will have lothing but the best to be had, and this last lamed class is the one for whose trade we toil, 'or years our establishment has handled the ustly celebrated ARICA roasted Coffee, and it las given universal satisfaction. The house rom which we buy it is one of the most reliable if which we have any knowledge, and for more ban fifteen years they have been gradually im- | >roving this, their "pet" brand, until today it is ilmost a universal favorite with all who know a . food article of coffee when they find it. We also I landle the best grades of GREEN COFFEE, ^id would again call the attention of the readers if The Enquirer to five-pounds-for-one-dollar | tio. It gives satisfaction every time. A GREAT MANY PEOPLE ilave allowed themselves to be deluded into be- j ieving that in order to get a good quality of Tea t is necessary to pay from $1.00 to $1 25 a pound j or it. This idea has been instilled in the people , jy dealers who convey the impression to the un- , nitiated that the fact of its coming from theoth- j *r side of the world that the cost is necessarily | ligh. The facts in the case do not bear out the , mpression they desire to convey. The fact of , he business is, that Tea is very cheap when the , acts connected with its growth and importation , ire taken into consideration. We sell a most jxcellent article of Tea for seventy-live cents ( i pound. Those who have tested it say that it . s equal in every particular to Tea for which they ( rnd been paying others from $1.00 to $1.25 a Dound.

Week before last we had something to say bout Ladies' Dress Goods, Shoes, Gents' Hats nd Boys' Clothing. This week we shall talk bout pretty much the same things with possi>ly one or two other things added. Some folks o not consider that there is any special necessity or the boys to be well dressed. Just so they are iassibly clad, so they won't attract special attenion by their neglected appearance, it's all right, tat the girls ! on, they must be dressed in the est and latest. Nothing is too good or nice for hem. Well, we heartily concur in the last seniment. The girls should , be well dressed, and re try to keep a supply of materials on hand suitble for dressing them as they should be. Now re will return to the "boy." the "small boy," rom 4 to 16 years old, is the kind we are talking bout. They should be treated better, they hould have neat and durable clothing, made in he latest style. They will then feel like they are >f some importance in this world. Buy your >oy a suit of nice, ready-made clothing. We lave them, and they are good and they are way lown in price. The investment willpay. Drop n and examine our stock.
