ROCK HILL HAPPENINGS. Review of the Week's Doings in Town and Vicinity. Correspondence of the Yorkvllle Enquirer. Rock Hill, December 21.?La grippe seems to have taken complete possession of this community. There is scarcely a family in town but what 1ms one or two cases; in fact one family of thirteeu members has eleven down with the epidemic. The suffering seems to be intense for a day or two, and it generally takes several weeks to fully recover from its effects. Mrs. Ferguson, mother of Mr. Perry Ferguson, and mother-in-law of Mr. John Locke, with whom she lived, was found dead in her bed last Friday morning. Mrs. John Lemmond, who lived near the Globe Cotton mills, died Saturday morning. An infant child of Charley Means was buried in Laurelwood cemetery on Sunday afternoon. The leap year hop to be given at this place on the 5th of January, premises to be a very brilliant affair. Quite a number of participants are expected from the neighboring towns in this State and North Carolina. The Rock Hill Cotton mill, the oldest of the three mills here, was compelled to shut down for half a day last week in consequence of the failure of the water supply. This has occurred twice this full, though such a condition of affairs rarely exist in this section. The shoppers are now busily engaged in hunting Christmas goods, though the trade in this class of goods, as well as everything else, is not by any means as large as usual. mi -n i tt; 11 1 ...Ml I xne IVOCK Illll Uiercuuu? nil! nuov iuvii places of business on Christmas day, and many will doubtless follow their usual custom of hunting. The extension of the time for paying taxes came none too soon to relieve the many anxious minds in this, and, from what the papers say, in almost all parts of the State. "The Hornet," a train on the C., C. & A. railroad running from Chester to Charlotte in the morning and returning at night, has been discontinued, and will now run, as formerly, between Charlotte and Statesville, on its old schedule. Many Rock Hillians regret that it ceased to run before the holidays were over. Miss Julia Richardson, of the Rock Hill graded school, will spend her Christmas holidays in Washington, D. C., with relatives. Miss Emma Corbett, of Sumter, S. C., is visiting Miss Annie Belle May, of this place. Miss Mamie Meachotn, who has been visiting the families of Messrs. W. J. and J. J. Waters, will leave for her home in Fort Mill tomorrow. Mr. John R. Allen is dangerously ill at his home on East Main street. e. LETTER FROM BLAIRSVILLE. Some Sensible Talk?Big Wheat Crop Sown? Unrest Among the Tenants?Personal and Other Notes. Correspondence of the Yorkvllle Enquirer. Blairsville, December 21.?Everybody down this way is crying out "hard times," but the farmers generally are doing their utmost toward paying their debts. This is certainly the most practical way to relieve the situation, and while they may not be able to pay all they owe, they can, at least, save their reputation for honesty, and thus bridge over the difficulties that present themselves for next year. The cotton crop of 1891 has been gathered and ginned, and most of it sold. It was exceedingly light in this section as compared with last year, but some farmers?very few? say they have made as many bales to the horse as usual. There has been more wheat sown this fall and winter than for many years. The fact is things have come to that point when we are compelled to make a change in our programme. We arc beginning to realize the truth of the old saying, "no make, no eat." There is considerably stir among the tenants who are hunting for a fat place to live next year. Very few of them have enough to eat, and it is quite likely that labor will be cheaper next year. Mr. J. J. Hoodj whose unfortunate accident was mentioned in The Enquirer last week, is getting along as well as could be expected. Messrs. J. N. Ross and J. C. White, who have been traveling for Messrs. Fuller & Plexico, of Sharon, with the "Fuller" plow, which will open, put iu the guauo and ridge up at the some time, have returned home. They say that they started out at the wrong end of the year, and will wait until the holidays are over before starting out again. Dr. J. H. Saye, who has been spending a week with relatives and friends near Sumter, S. C., has returned home. Miss Ella Rainey, of Blairsville, who has been attending Converse college, at Spartanburg, is at home for the holidays. Misses Cora and Mamie Carroll, who have been attending school at Union, are also spending Christmas at home. w. p. WOULD NOTES. Fixed for Hard Times?Braiiuou Improving? Painful Accident?Heavy Hogs?A Sensational Mystery; Possibly a Murder. Correspondence of the Yorkvllle Enquirer. Gould, December 21.?The cry of "hard times" can be heard on every side in this section. It must be admitted that the low price of cotton makes money scarce, and wiili so few home-raised supplies, it is not surprising that so many people are unable to pay their debts. However, the situation in this immediate section is not near as bad as it might be. Nearly every farmer in the neighborhood has corn and meat of his own raising sufficient for home consumption, and a good many have enough to supply their hands. Under these circumstances, it is only those who are in debt who are in a really tight place' Brannon, the man who was mentioned last week as having been dangerously wounded in a fight at a whisky camp, is thought to be improving, though he has not fully recovered his mental faculties. Those who have seen him recently, say that it is only at times that he is able to recognize his friends. The poor fellow was a hard worker, and has a wife and six small children dependent upon him for a living. Little Stella Hamilton was badly burned in the face a few days ago, by running against a shovel of coals that her mother was carrying from one room to another. Rev. 6. S. Robinson has returned from his Northern trip, and will preach at Bullock's Creek next Sabbath. Messrs. Bankhead killed six hogs last week that averaged 240 pounds each. They had : previously killed three that averaged 225.; Several other tine hogs were killed in the neighborhood, some of them netting as much as 300 pounds. There is quite a sensation over on Turkey creek, near the Chester line. Blood and other evidences of a desperate struggle have been discovered on Mr. John L. Rainey's place, not far from St. Luke's negro church, and an Irish pedler having passed through the neighborhood a few days ago, it is thought that he has been murdered. A trail J of blood has been followed to the creek, and the theory is that the body was carried there on horseback and thrown in. Another searching party will go out today to give the matter a thorough investigation. h. SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS. ? There is talk in Columbia to the effect that an English syndicate is going to estab lish a bank 111 that city with $b,U0U,000 capital. The name of the institution is to be J the "Union Bank of South Carolina and j London." ? Superintendent J. A. Dodson, superiu- J tendent of the South Carolina and Columbia and Greenville divisions of the Richmond 1 and Danville railroad, has been promoted to the superintendence* of the main stem of the division with headquarters in Atlanta. ? Anderson Intelligencer : We know of a good substantial farmer in Anderson county whose farm, this year, has netted him about $1,000. With the assistance of his son?a small boy?he did all the work himself, made his own supplies, and, as a consequence, owes nothing. ? Newberry Observer : Mr. Ben Wood, a young man about twenty-one years of age, ! committed suicide on Wednesday last, at his j home, sixteen miles from this place, by taking an overdose of morphine. The reason assigned is, that having contracted debts which, on account of the hard times, he could not pay, he 110 longer desired to live. ? An Augusta special to The News and Courier says that Evangelist Thomas II.1 Leitch was put out of an Augusta, Ga., hotel, j 011 Tuesday night, of last week, for being intoxicated. Rev. Mr. Pickett, of Columbia, who was with Mr. Leitch on the night in question, informs the Columbia Record that there is 110 truth whatever in the report.

The public knows that selling at cost is not what the merchant is in business for. Loss puts nothing in his purse, and he can't live on it. But about once in ten times that sign is genuine. There are reasons why the question of profit and money-making are, for the time, minor ones. The merchant does not expect to live on his loss. He has figured out that loss is inevitable on a certain class of goods, and has wisely concluded to make a virtue of necessity, and loss voluntarily his profit, rather than be compelled to lose more. It's like a captain with a ship richly freighted. storm comes up, the vessel labors and the chances are that all will be lost. The captain orders up a part of the cargo and throws it overboard to save the rest. Just the position of the merchant. Here's a bad season. Hard winds, no chance of making port now with this line of goods. The dead stock is as heavy as lead. Hit with it then, at cost. Better lose profit than principal. Better sell at cost than hold at hazard. That's our fix. Tl I IS IS A (i ENUIXK COST PRICK SA KK. It's not choice, but a necessity. Not to advertise, but to lighten the ship.

The times are not so hard that they might not Ijo worse. Pestilence and famine are al)sent from among us. The dread of hard times should have been held up before your own eyes and bv vour own hands, as a mirror, and not before mine. The darkest hour of the night is just before day, and if your have bought goods of us on honor and your good character, it is your duty to come forward like Christian men I and pay your accounts. If you can't pay in full, pay three-fourths; if you can't pay threefourths, pay half; if you can't pay half, have manhood and honesty enough about you to pay what you can. If you can't pay anything, and we don't think it quito that bad, spend the cash with us when you need anything in our line. We will guarantee prices and meet competition under any and all circumstances. LOW OUT PRICES! THE PROPRIETOR OP LATIMER'S BAZAAR announces the fact that he has cut the prices on ALL HEAVY WINTER GOODS, such as GENTS' CLOTHING, BOOTS, SHOES, UNDERCLOTHING, JEANS, OVERCOATS and LADIES' CLOAKS AND WRAPS. This cut means CASH AND CASH ONLY, and until January 1st, 1892, will offer the biggest inducements for the money ever known in Dry Goods circles. This scheme has been adopted with two objects in view. First, to assist the people in obtaining the absolute necessities in my line at the lowest possible price, oven at the sacrifice of our legitimate profits^ and I must and will expect cash in every instance; and if our people need goods, I give this opportunity, which only happens once in a lifetime. ' Second, I owe Northern merchants which can only be settled with cash, and ruther 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 people want our goods and pay as much of their accounts as they possibly can. Remember that "The Bazaar" will begin to hum today; that cash will bo the watchword, and that our prices WILL KNOW NO COMPETITION ! In conclusion, allow me to say to those of our customers who have paid their accounts that we will remember them kindly in the future, and it ...:n iw* /inuiro nnil linnft tn accommodate them in every way in our power.

IN our advertisement in THE ENQUIRER a few week ago, we promised to give our readers the number of bottles of SILVER BELL sold each week.

We were not afraid of the record of this preparation, for it was manufactured in 18G4 by Dr. John May. and gained a big local reputation for all that it is claimed to do now. It's no new thing, but is a tried and meritorious preparation and its sales reached 216 MM LIST WEEK!

Don't you want that old Rough Skin and Red Hands made perfect? Don't you wan't to get rid off that hateful old Itch? Why scratch, scratch and scratch and suffer almost the agonies of death when two or three bottles, and oftentimes just one bottle, of MAY'S FRECKLE AND TAN CURE will not only cure but produce a skin that queens will envy.
