three horses and more, the dropping of cotton
as his principal crop involves a change
in his entire system. The change should be
of the same nature as that I suggest for the
small farmer, but it cannot be brought about
so easily. However he has got to arrange
matters so that renters and croppers can
sustain themselves without requiring the outlay
of so much cash. As to how this will
be done is a question that must be left for
each farmer to settle for himself. I confess
that I have not been able to figure it out
. yet."
"Well, why," our farmer was asked, "do
you not look for an early revival in the price
of ootton ?"
"Just this," he replied, "whatever may
be the cause of the present low price?overproduction,
or financial depression, there is
no likelihood of an early change. Even if
there should be a short crop next year, which
is not likely, no revival in price could be expected
until most of the crop had been
marketed, and that would be too late to do
many people any good.
"No, the situation is just this: Prices have
been falling during the past two or three
Troat-o until a halp of ootton formerly worth!
$40 will now bring only $25, and the expen-;
ses of the producer have not been reduced j
in proportion. Expenses must be reduced |
or we are at about the end of our row, and |
the most practicable way to reduce expenses
is not to buy anything tbat we can raise j
cheaper.
"A small farmer in this country, owing no,
money, should have little concern about thej
price of cotton. He can, by proper man- i
agement and hard work live on the fat of;
the land without raising a pound of cotton.
He won't have much money, it is true, but
he will have as much as he needs and that j
is more than most of them have now. Our i
country is wedded to cotton and is loathe to
give it up. Many of our farmers have been 1
raising it so.long that they do not know how
to raise anything else, and a change to food '
products, if it ever comes, can only be
brought about by a most fearful effort. In
fact it will go so hard with many farmers
that it is almost doubtful as to whether they
can really pull through. But if we get this
change once established we shall never regret
it. With all our small farmers living !
at home, free from debt and independent
of the big world outside, we shall probably
never witness a recurrence of present condi-.
tions.
"A great many farmers think, Mr. ,
that the idea of being able to get out of debt
without raising cotton is absurd. What do
you think of that proposition ?"
"Well," he said, "on that point I have
this to say. There is nothing absurd about
it. With our soil and-climate, we can raise
anything, and I venture that I can take a j
two horse farm, bind myself not to cultivate
or have anything to do with any two crops
that you might see fit to mention and still
make money. Under present conditions we
really have no market for anything but cot-<
ton, but I assure you that if we would go!
into the raising of other products we would
not be long in finding a market for them.
No, to tell you the truth I am not at all
worried about the future outlook. We have
a land capable of literally flowing with milk
honey, and I am sure that if our people
would only make up their minds to it they i
can make every farm in the country self sustaining,
and independent of any other business.
And this talk abont cotton being the
only crop that will bring any money. You
let the farmer quit raising cotton one time
and commence selling bread and meat instead
of buying it, and you will see whether there
will be any money or not."
BLACKSBURG BUDGET.
Death of Mr. J. P. Gibson?A Horrible Accident?A
Negro Mnrder?Other Matters
of More or Less Importance.
Correspondence of the Yorkvllle Enquirer.
BLACK8BUBG, January 12.?In the hurry
of getting off my letter last week, I neglected
to mention two sudden deaths which ushered
in the new year with a mantle of sadness, to
a portion of our community. Mr. J. F. Gibson,
who, since his return home from Alabama,
has been engaged in trestle and bridge
repairing on the Three 0's railroad, was
found dead in his car at Mooresboro, N. C.,
on Friday morning, January 1st. His health
had not been good for several years, but he
has been able to attend to his work most of
the time since he has been here.
Although the cause of his death could not
be positively determined by the physician
* ?' J
wlio was summoned, n was proDauiy uuc w
the rupture of a blood vessel ou the brain.
His remains were brought home to his grief
stricken family on Friday and interred *the
following day in the Baptist cemetery. He
leaves a wife and four small children, tc
whom the sympathy of all our people goes
out in their su Men and sad bereavement.
Mr. M. H. Isabel is employed as watchman
at the Air Line R. R. bridge over Broad river,
three miles from Blacksburg. The house he
occupies is situated only a few feet from the
railroad track. On Thursday afternoon, December
31st, he crossed over the track tc
put up Ms cows. He was just ready to re
turn, when he heard the rapid approach of a
south-bound freight train, and upon looking
back, beheld with horror his sixteen-monthsold
babe standing in the middle of the track
with its little hands outstretched to its agonized
father. Almost wild with fear, he
sprang forward and made a desperate effort:
to rescue his helpless child from the monster
engine, and lacked only one step of reaching
it, when the cow-catcher struck it ant.'
threw it about forty feet. The shock and
the injuries it sustained proved fatal, and it:
lived in an unconscious condition only three
hours. The terrible accident was witnessed
by its parents and grandparents, but they
were all powerless to avert it, and their
feelings can be better imagined than de
scribed. The sorrowing family have the
sympathy of all in their unusually sad affliction.
Jenks Macobson, colored, an employe of
the Three C.'s railroad, while on a visit to
Shelby, Wednesday last, became involved in
a difficulty with John Hambright, colored,
and was shot by the latter, with a shot-gun.
in the upper part of the thigh. He was
brought home Thursday morning, and died
from the effects of the wound on Saturday
morning. An inquest was held over his body
by Trial Justice W. D. Camp, acting as coroner,
and a partial autopsy made by Dr. D
S. Ramseur, the attending physician. It was
found that the thigh bone was badly shat
tered, the femoral vein pierced by the shot,
and death resulted from the shock and hem orrhage.
The verdict returned by the jury
was in accordance with the above facts.
On Saturday afternoon the youngest chilli
of Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Pollock, was pain.
fully, but not seriously burned. It was
playing near the fire when its clothing
ignited, but fortunately it was discovere l
and extinguished by the mother in time to
avert a very serious if not fatal accident.
The interest of the late Thomas P. Whisonant
in the firm of Whisonant Bros. & Co.,
was sold on Saturday by J. F. Whisonani,
administrator. The interest in the stock of
goods brought $795.00 and in 96 bales of
cotton $800.00. Dr. J. C. McCubbins was
the highest bidder.
* Rev. Mr. Haraiter, assisted by Rev. Dr.
Thornwell, began a meeting in the Presbynhnmh
nn Fridav eveninor with the!
o
intention of continuing it this week, but oa
account of the unfavorable weather it was
deemed best to close, and the last service
was held yesterday morning, when Dr.
Thornwell left for his home. The services
were of a very interesting character, and
much good feeling manifested. Seven persons
united themselves with the church,
as follows: Mr. Davis, Miss Birdie Guyton,
Gertrude and Anna Sherrer, Edna Davis,
Katie Deal and Mattie Knox.
The Episcopal church at this place was
recently the recipient of a generous donation
of prayer-books and hymnals from the "Bible,
Prayer-Book and Tract Society of South

i Rock Hill, January 10.?Another brili
liant marriage was that of Miss Minnie Fewell
to Mr. J. H. Milling, at Ebenezcr church

were Miss Maggie Hamilton, of
White Oak, S. C., with Mr. Myron Sandifer;
Miss Annie Lyle Roddey with Mr. C. V.

Another marriage is that of Mr. T. A.
Robinson, one of Rock Hill's prosperous
young merchants, who leaves to-day for
Shelby, N. C., where he will be married on
Tuesday to Miss Cleo, daughter of Dr. 0. P.
Gardner, of that place. The marriage will
be at the home of the bride's parents. Rev.
W. M. Anderson will officiate and the groom
will be accompanied by Messrs Ed. Robinson
and Ira Dunlap of this place.
Death has again crossed the threshold of
some of our homes and made sad the hearts
of loving friends and relatives. Mrs. Eunice
Rawls, wife of Mr. Simpson Rawls, who
lives near Antioch church, yielded as a victim
to it power last Thursday and was burned
at Bethesda Friday. She was 80 years
of age, and left to mourn her loss a husband
86 year old. Thus ended a happy union of
64 years. She was the mother of ten children,
seven of whom survive her, and grandmother
of thirty-six, and grcatgrandmother
of twenty-seven. These facts are vouched
for by one of her sons. Grip, after only a
few days of illness, was the cause of her
death.
Mr. Wm. Little also died of the same
cause on Friday and was buried at Bethesda
on Saturday. He was 84 years of age and
was a native of York county, having been
born at the same place where he died. He
was mail agent on the Richmond and Danville
railroad for a number of years. Strange
to say, he was never married.
We are glad to know that Mrs. J. L. McElwee
who has been prostrated for sometime
with grip, is better.
The electric light of our town will be
greatly improved by the addition of a 100
horse power engine and a 10,000 caadle power
motor.
Mr. J. T. Roddey has sold out his livery
business on Main street to Mr. J. C. White.
Messrs. F. O. London & Co., have removed
their stock of goods to the J. R. London
storeroom, formerly occupied by R. T. Fewell

Co., have moved into the building vacated
by London & Co.

LETTER FROM GOLD HILL.
How Christmas was Spent?An Old Time
Horse Race?Reduction the Cotton Acreage?Otlier
Matters.
Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer.
Gold Hill, January 9.?I wish the editor
of The Enquirer a happy new year
and may he long enjoy health and strength
to keep the good old paper up to its present
standard. It is possible for it to drop back,
but I do not think it can be improved much.
Since I wrote my last letter Christmas has
come and gone and I will try and give you
some idea of how it was spent by some of
our good people. Christmas day passed off
very quietly, but on the Wednesday following
the whole couutry was on the move. It
had been annonced that there was to be a
horse race at Captain J. W. Marshall's. I
got there at 10 o'clock and found that a large
crowd had already collected. Some of the
people were from Pineville, some from Fort
Mill and the others from the surrounding vicinity.
The racers were Captain J. W. Marshall
and Mr. W?m. E. Kimbrell, and the stake
was $30 a side. The horses were a three yeaj
old filly, owned by Captain Marshall, and
a black horse owned by Mr. S. C. Faris. The
black horse, however, was run by Mr. Kimbrell.
The distance to be run was one mile
and Messrs. Marshall and Kimbrell did their
own riding. They appeared not in jockey
costume but in close fitting smoking caps
and shirt sleeves, presenting quite a picturesque
appearance.
They mounted their horses and rode one
mile down the Thome's Ferry road to the
starting point. The judges, Messrs. C. T.
Crook and S. H. Epps, were stationed a few
hundred yards below Mr. Marshall's barn,
aDd the crowd moved down the road to a
hill where they could see about half of the
race. After the riders had disappeared in
the distance their re-appearance was awaited
with no little impatience. After a while a
+ "'no linnwl ^T .Anlr Allf tllf'V J1TO POTT! -
OlIUUV WOO UCUiUj WMVJ j
ing!" and in a short while they came thundering
over the hill. But lo and behold,
only one rider was in sight and that was
Captain Marshall, riding like a Centaur and
his steed almost flying. The black horse,
where was he ? There was no need for the
judges to hold a consultation, as Captain
Marshall was the winner of the race by half
a mile, and he was given the stakes.
There were also several scrub races, but
no more betting. All had a pleasant time,
and we all went home sober,
j There is a good deal of grumbling about
hard times, and times are hard on every one,'
| but our farmers have made up their minds
to put their best foot foremost and try again,
j There has been a large crop of wheat
sown in this community; also a good deal of
oats, and we are still sowing when the
weather will permit.
We have decided to reduce our cotton
crop and increase our com, molasses and
hog crops.
I heard the other day that Mr. Z. T. Bailes.
one of our largest and most successful cot[
ton farmers, intends to cut his crop down to
WWWWWW WWWXwWvWWWV wwwvuwww
ten acres to the horse. He is on the right
track. Mr. Bailes is not a brother Allianceman,
but he is the next thing to it. He is a
brother-in-law.
I see in the last letter from Fort Mill that!
friend "C." does not think I treated him fair
in accusing him of intentionally slighting
some of our Gold Hill farmers. Well, friend
"C," I accept your apology, and if I took
you up wrong I am sorry. You sec I
I thought you were as well acquainted with
all of us as you were with Mr. Coltbarp, but
you did not consider that wo were worth
writing about because we did not live ou
the big road. You see we are sorter jealous
and don't like for one of our neighbors to
be puffed up too much for fear it will give
him the big head. But of course I was
proud that you seiected one of our good
farmers to write about. So let's make up.
You come over and if Mr. B. M. Paris don't
back up what I said, I will "set 'em up" myself.

LOWRYSVILLE NOTES.
That Von-Eyed Negro Picked Up?Masonic
Hall Dedicated?Other Matters.
Correspondence of the Yorkvllle Enquirer.
Lowrysville, January 11?Snow fell
here Saturday night to the depth of one inch.
Since last night it been raining incessantly,
and today everything is covered with ice.
Lowrysville High school resumed last
Wednesday, Mr. and Miss Douglas at their
places.
Clark Hickman, colored, was arrested
here one day last week by Deputy Culp
? rtf ollinnr linnor without a
Uli LUC LliaigL VI OVIKU^ .... -license.
That "von-eyed negro" was also picked
up at Guthriesville on the same charge. It
now appears that he did sell some, notwithstanding
he could not sell that particular
jug which so disturbed Mr. Addlesheimer's
equanimity.
Protracted services have been carried on
at the church for more than a week. The
pastor expected assistance but providential
hinderance interposed.
Saturday, December 26 was a day long to
be remembered by the Masonic fraternity
here. Deputy G. H. P. Witherow, of Winnsboro
was present together with quite a number
of the fraternity from Chester. The new
hall was solemnly and impressively dedicated
to masonry. Will A. Barber, Esq., of
Chester, delivered a very instructive address
on the origin and progress of Masonry. The
following officers were then publicly installed
: J. N. Hardin, W. M.; W. O. Guy, S.
W.; J. R. Davis, J. W.; Walter Simpson, S.
D.; G. B. Minter, J. D.; W. A. Bently and
T. L. Hardin, stewards, and S. B. Hardin,
tyler. The crowd then repaired to the
ground floor where the ladies had spread a
sumptuous feast of good things for the satisfaction
of the inner man. After all had eaten
bountifully the crowd began to disperse,
and in an hour Lowrysville again resumed
her village-like appearance.

Correspondence of the Yorkvllle Enquirer.
Sharrn, January 11.?The farmers are
somewhat non plused as to what to do.
Many of them have not yet employed hands
and others, are giving up the plow for the
spindle. This is a bad outlook. Somebody

must keep up tue tarms, so suck iu it urumer
farmer. For every cloudy day there are
two of sunshine. Remember that "he who
does not climb for fear he fall will never
climb at all."
There was no preaching at Sharon yesterday
on account of the illness of the pastor,
Dr. Ross.
Miss Sue Shannon left here on Saturday
for Roddey's where she will take charge of a
school today.
Mr. Ed. Shannon returned to "VVofford
college last week.
Miss White, of Fort Mill, will open a
school at the Kell school house today.
It was Mrs. Nancy Kirkpatrick whose
death was reported last week instead of
Mary as published.
La Grippe is playing a high hand in this
section. In many instances whole families
are down, and the few that are well
are scarcely able to wait on the sick. The
dread disease is no respector of persons, and
the rich and the poor, and the infant and
the gray haired sire are alike subject to its
attacks.
Mr. D. H. Carroll had a valuable mule
killed one day last week by an ox. The
mule and ox were hitched to a wagon, when
the ox became enraged and gored the mule
to the heart.
Mr. Albert Robertson and family left
Thursday for Clifton factory. a. e.

? Incendiarism has been at work in Laurens
for the past few months and the whole

; dread. The latest attempt at incendiarism
I was made on last Thursday night. About
12 o'clock the boarding house of Mrs. S. 1'.
Richardson, on the corner of Laurens and
Harper streets was discovered to be on fire, j
When the fire was discovered it was raging
I fiercely under the dining room floor. A

just rendered sustains the organization in
its right to "sell liquor to its members."
The decision says : "The legislature did not
intend to embrace social organizations, such
as the 'Columbia club,' as to license, but the
true intent and meaning was to include only
the keepers of drinking saloons." On Friday
a representative of The State asked
Governor Tillman as to what he thought of
the decision. He said : "According to it
there is nothing to prevent anyone from organizing
a club, calling it a social organization,
and dispensing the 'good old stuff to
all free of all license and taxation."

To be Sacrificed at the Mercy of Ten
Thousand Willing Customers.
TJMIE GAUNTLET has boon thrown down
and wo challenge any competitor to follow us
inthescufllc for public patronage. When'you
see the banners flaunted on the outer wall,
calling attention of the passer by to the bargains
within, remember that LATIMER'S BAZAAR
TO A T.TVR AormrcssiVE ESTABLISH
MENT AND ALWAYS HAS ITS CUSTOMERS'
INTEREST AT HEART, and it is undaunted
by the epidemical cry of "hard times"
now pervading the South. We meet competition
from whatever sourco it may coino, and
we treat it with the consideration which it deserves,
and will sell you Roods at prices that few
first class houses will attempt.
We have pulled off our coats and wo are now
rolling up our sleeves, and we would say to the
public that you can't buy goods anywhere, OF
THE CLASS THAT WE HANDLE, AT
COST OR OTHERWISE, for less money than
we sell them. Don't be deluded friends by the
signs of the times; don't desert an old friend
for a new one without cause ; a friend who has
stood by you in adversity as well as prosperity.
Battle for the right, the interest of yourself and
family, and last but not least, BUY YOUR
GOODS WHEREVER YOU CAN GET THE
BEST GOODS FOR THE LEAST MONEY,
AND YOU HAVE OUR ASSURANCE
THAT WE WILL BE SATISFIED WITH
YOUR VERDICT,
Ourdoors will stand open from 7 o'clock in the
morning until 9 o'clock at night, and behind
our counters, in every department, will be found
ladies and gentlemen, thorougly conversant with
the duties devolving upon them, and who will
make"your visit to THE BAZAAR both pleasant
and profitable, for now wo are offering the biggest
INDUCEMENTS FOR CASH ever offered
from our establishment. This ofter wi .l continue
until FEBRUARY 29TH, and will include
all lines in the Dry Goods and Millinery departments,
including DRESS GOODS, CLOTHING,
HATS, "IMPERIAL SHIRTS," OVERSHOES,
BLANKETS, TOWELS, CORSETS,
LADIES WRAPS, OVERCOATS and ABOUT
SEVEN THOUSAND PAIRS OF SHOES.
These goods must and shall be sold if prices
are an inducement, and there is enough cash
in the country to avail itself of the opportunity
thus presented to consumers.
By the 29TII OF FEBRUARY, we expect
our establishment to look like a cyclonc-strickcn
district, with the shelves and counters laid bare,
for the prices at which we will sell these goods
are bound to move them. Conic at once with
the cash and pick your bargains, and make
good your losses brought about by the low
price of cotton. W M. C. LATIMER.

NOW TO BUSINESS.
The junior member of the firm of MAY &
MAY lias been absent from his place of business
a great deal during the past month or two,
making an effort to collect accounts due us on
last year's business, in consequence of which
our stock has run very low and wo wore out of a
great many things, but wo say to all from today,
Tie First Monday in January 1892,
That he will hereafter be found at our prescription
counter, whero every formula handed into
us will be filled under HIS PERSONAL SUPEItVISON,
which renders it unnecessary
fox us to say moro in his behalf, for as a prescription
expert his reputation extends far beyond
the limits and boundary of York county.
Everybody in York knows that for accuracy and
quality of ingredients, MAY ?fe MAY'S IS
tlic place to have difficult prescriptions filled.
CHEAP AND OF THE VERY BEST
QUALITY IS OUR MOTTO!
Bring your prescriptions to MAY & MAY'S
and have them filled. They guarantee accuracy,
quality of ingredients and price, and as we
have stated above, our stocrk of Drugs and
Chemicals shall always bo found completejamb
up?and we defy any one to sell you good
goods cheaper than we will. Try us this year
and we will prove to you that our dealings will
be satisfactory in every particular.
COLORED PAINTS.
Another tiling to which we desire to call your
attention is our splendid stock of Colored Paints
now in our store. They are put up in small,
medium and largo size cans, and are adapted to
painting all kincls of furniture such as bedsteads,
lounges, sofas, sideboards, chairs, tallies, llowerpotsor
anything elso that is old and dingy and
you want to brighten with the advent of the
New Year.
BOSTON SILK BLACKING
Is the latest and best thing out. It will put a splendid
gloss on your shoes and saves time, trouble
and money, and is especially adapted to gent's
shoes. Try our Ladies' Silk Shoe Dressing. It
is the nicest thing in the world for cleaning
ladies' boots and children's shoes or opera slippers,
or renewing the color to hand-satchels, or
anything else that needs brightening up with the
advancing years. We havo Silk Shoe Blacking
put up for ladies only, at from 10 cents to 25 cents,
whenever you are in town call and see us. We
will treat you right. MAY <k MAY.
HAIR BRUSHES.
We desire to call your attention to the fact
that we carry o nico lino of Hair Brushes and
Combs, together with a large stock of fancy and
toilet goods. MAY A MAY.
RIDDLE & CARROLL.
GRANULATED SUGAR.
WE suppose the most jealous competitors we
have will freely admit that we have led the
town, and perhaps the county, in the Granulated
Sugar trade, and we say that Ave propose to continue
to do so. While wo do not claim to have
made as much money out of it as the Sugar Trust
is reported to have made, sUILavo have the consolation
of knowing that avc have made fewer enemies
than they Tiave among consumers. Until
further notice avo Avill sell TWENTY pounds
for ONE DOLL A It.
FAMILY GROCERIES. 4
The Family Groceries and Plantation Supplies
features of our business shall continue to naA'o
especial attention, and Avill ahvays bo found full
up with a choice stock of Bacon, Hams, Lard,
Flour, Meal, Corn, Wheat Bran, Sugar, Coffee,
Rice, Hominy, Laundry Soap, etc. With re
gard to Laundry soap, we win uiku uccuaiuu
riglit licre to remark that we believe wo sell the
best six-for-a-nuarter article to be found in this
section. Wo also sell the justly popular White
House Soap.
FANCY GROCERIES.
Fancy Groceries isa comparatively new feature
with our establishment, since it has only been
three or four years since we commenced to give
it especial attention, and to-day we feel warranted
in saying that the dealer who sells more Fancy
Groceries than wo do leads the procession. We
think we have been in the business long enough
to be familiar with the very exacting requirements
of this trade. There is, perhaps, no business
in which there is so good an opportunity of imposing
on the consumer. In the Canned Goods
department there are at least three grades both
in fruits and meats, and there is, of course, a dif- j
ercnee in cost and quality of each gr.ulc, and
therefore the poorer the goods the greater the
immediate profit to the dealer. We have always
made it a point to sell only the BEST quality of
Canned Goods, as well as everything else in this
line, and take our profit in less amounts from
SATISFIED customers.

DOBSON S RACKET.
LOVE OF MONEY
MAKES tho people buy their goods at DOBSON'S
RACKET, because they know that
tho Old Chap will sell them better goods for less
money than any house in York county, and that
when they buy from him, they can get their
want? supplied and still have something left.
They know that he
Does Not Want the Earth,
but is satisfied with a ridiculously small nrofit.
They know that DOBSON'S RACKET sells
strictly for cash, and sells to everylxxly at tho
same price for tho same article. They know
that social standing, wealth or influence will not
affect the Old Chap's prices. They know that
EVERYBODY is treated politely and promptly
served, regardless of the size of the purchase.
DURING THE YEAR 1892
it will be tho aim and purpose of tho establishment
to impress the above truths upon the public
in a more forcible manner than ever before.
The house that leads DOBSON'S RACKET in
the race for patronage during the present year
will have to hustle and keep hustling. Wo have
been used to leading and don't proposo to take a
back seat. Always examine goods and get
prices at DOBSON'S RACKET before you buy
from anybody.
Don't Allow Yourself to be Misled
by tho terms "Closing Out Sale," and "Selling
at New York Cost." We are all conducting
"closing out sales"?but wo oxpect to fill up
again. See?
WE RETURN
our heartfelt thanks to the people of Yorkvillc,
York and surrounding counties for tho very
liberal patronage bestowed on us during tho year
1891, and hope during 185)2 to greet hundreds of
new customers.
pjT The attention of parents is called to our
stock of Children's Shoes. A citizen of Yorkvillc
who speaks from experience says that one
pair of the Kind we sell are equal in durability
to any two pairs ho has ever bought at any other
store in town, and that he has tried them all.

THERE are few who do not suffer more or

accompanied by annoying coughs. The
most marked indications for treatment are to restore
the dry mucus membrane to a condition of
normal secretion, and to overcome the respiration
by stimulating the respiratory enters and
to allay the inflamation ana irritation by sedatives
and demulants. The combination that
meets these requirements very nicely is

besides it tCHches a moral lesson that makes us
