BLACKSBURG BUDGET. I To Dlverslfy.the Crops?New Citizens?Quarterly Conference?Three Mills For the Graded Schools?Two More Deaths?A Noble Woman Passes Away. Correspondence of the Yorkvllle Enquirer. BLACKSBURG, January 26.?Since Sunday last, warm, pleasant sunshine has prevailed ; quite a delightful contrast to the rain and slush of the past week. Such weather invites to gardening and the pruning of fruit trees, etc.; but it may be wiser to wait a month for such work and devote the present favorable season to sowing oats and turning over land. Since our farmers seem determined to plant less cotton this year by half, they certainly will use extra efforts to produce other things that will, in a measure, take its place. For instance, in our town of Blacksburg three well patronized and flourishing hotels, with our graded school and the patrons it invites, creates a demand for all the smaller farm products, and, as nearly io r\onotrotpf1 hv every poruuu ui tuc wuuvj 10 railroads and the marketing and shipping facilities which they invariably create, so far surpass those of former years that tillers of the soil in York county will be forced to revolutionize their mode of farming to great dedegree, and diversify their crops to meet the emergencies of the times. Such being the inevitable result of the changed mode of living, no farmer can afford to loose an hour's work during such favorable weather as we are having. In my letter of last week "economy in all things" iustead of "economizing all things," and "genius" instead of "glories," and "fond desire" instead of "forced desire," were written in the manuscript, and the mistake made by the printer. Dr. T. M. Gwin, of Bullocks Creek township," has recently become a iltizen of our town. He waaattracted here by our graded school and occupies the W. R. Lipscomb dwelling at the corner of Pine and Chester streets. Mr. J. C. Hayden has purchased the house and lot on Rutherford street, from Mrs. Alice Carpenter, now occupied by Engineer Lee and family. Rev. L. A. Johnson, pastor of the M. E. church, has moved his fhmily into the dwelling on John street opposite the graded school building, recently occupied by Mr. E. B. Johnson, the latter having moved into the new building at the corner of Chester and Pine streets,;built and owned by Mr. D. D. Gaston. Quarterly conference of the M. E. church for the Blacksburg circuit was held at this place on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday last. There was a good attendance of delegates, and an interesting and profitable meeting held. Rev. Mr. Harmon, the presiding elder, was present, and presided over its deliberations. Pursuant to notice by the trustees of the graded school at this place, an election was held in the building on yesterday afternoon to decide the question of a special tho nmnnnt, fnr runninir the W?A IBIJj ?u? vuv q school another year. A tax of three mills was voted, which is one mill less than the levy of last year; but, with due economy, and the increase in the taxable property during the past year, may give a sum large enough to run the school successf"!Iy. While our citizens realize the fact that the graded school is a permanent institution of the town, they also feel the scarcity of money and are naturally infected with the general epidemic of economy. But they acted wisely in not depriving their children of the splendid advantages furnished by the school, and especially as these advantages could not be obtained near so cheaply by a subscription school. Little Jnlia, the infant of Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Pollock, whom I mentioned iu my letter of the 12th instant as having been badly burned, died on the 22nd from acute inflamation of the stomach, which was caused by. the burns. She was a bright and attractive babe, the pet of the household, and her taking away leaves an aching void in the hearts of her devoted parents. Mrs. C. Haas, the wife of Adam Haas, Esq., died suddenly on Saturday morning last, from internal growth of cancer pressing upon her heart and breathing organs. Three operations for cancer were performed on her at different times, which resulted in the removal of both breasts and a portion of cancer which had developed over the breast bone; but with the exception of prolonging her life a few years, they were all without avail and she was forced finally to succumb to the dread disease. All of her sufferings, and they were sometimes intense, she bore with Christian grace and.resignation, and in all of her relations in life, gave evidence of a gentle, quiet spirit and a fortitude withal that came from an humble and confident trust in the guiding hand of her Lord with whom she is now forever at rest. w.

A building and loan association is being organized here on a little different plan from those already in operation. The intention is to build houses in the town of Chester, at least one every month. Eight hundred shares will be issued. Miss Newton McCrane has returned home from a long visit to friends in Alabama and Georgia. Her Chester friends are glad to see her at home again.

UuiloeM Prospects Brightening?The Farmers Will Not Use a Great Deal of Guano? The Town Council?Knights of Pythias? Other Matters* Correspondence of the Yorkvllle Enquirer. Rock Hill, January 25.?The sun has again peeped out from behind his silvery screen and lent his golden rays in dispelling the gloom of the past few weeks and in reviving the drooping spirits of many. With the advent of the sunshine, and a clear and bracing atmosphere, we may hope for a cessation of grip, pneumonia and the other ills that have been so severely depressing the health and spirits of our people. The roads are drying up and our streets are growing more lively than for several weeks past. The farmers generally are picking up courage and are going to renew the J fight with unusual zeal. They are bent, however, on cutting expenses wherever a cut is possible. As the result of a conversation with several farmers last week I am induced to believe that but little, if any, guano will be used this year. At least two good farmers; told me that they did not expect to use a ; pound. The merchauts evidently think1 they mean what they say, as there has not i been a single car of guano shipped to this I place up to the present time. On account of the continued wet weather, the farmers have not been enabled to sow as j much small grain as they would like to have done. What wheat has been sown is looking well, considering the wet weather. The new council held its first meeting last! Monday night, and elected, or re-elected, the following employees : J. C. Sharpe, marshal; J. M. Devinney, sexton at cemetery; B. N. Craig, secretary and treasurer; and W. J. Cherry, solicitor. Salaries were arranged as follows: Marshal, $65 per month; secretary and treasury, $125 per year; solicitor, $50 per year; cemetery sexton, $200 per year. Mr. A. E. Holler, the retiring secretary * . and treasurer, leaves this week for Wofford college, Spartanburg. The Holler and Anderson Buggy company are adding a new engine and other machinery to their plant, and making full prepara- , tions for a prosperous business. Messrs. Reid & Stultz have added ? new building for a blacksmith shop. The Knights of Pythias held their regular , meeting last Thursday night when the fol- ] lowing officers were installed : M. G. Bryant, . P. C.; J. M. Cherry, C. C.; L. C. Harrison, V. C.; Dr. T. L. Cornwell, prelate; S. T. Frew, marshal at arras; R. Lee Kerr, master of finance and exchequer; Ed. E. Poag, keeper of records and seals, Jno. A. Black and R. P. Boyd, outer and inner guards. Major John F. Jones, of Blacksburg, district grand deputy, was present and installed the J officers. The lodge has only been organized a few months. It now numbers more than forty members and is in a flourishing condition. Mrs. \V. P. Carothers, of Clay Hill, died i last Friday night in the 23rd. year of her age. ] She was buried at Allison Creek church on ( Sunday. Her husband is now lying dangerously ill with pneumonia. ' Mr. J.

J. ? 1 A DEFINITE PLAN. , A Level Headed Farmer "Writes Some Sound ( Sense on What to Plant. Editor of The Enquirer: A great deal has been said by prominent and intelligent . farmers as to the course to be pursued in re- ( gard to the coming crop. A great deal of good advice has been given in a general way. All are agreed that some change must be j made. This seems to be a case where every { individual farmer will have to work out his own salvation for himself. No plan could 3 be given that would suit all sections and . conditions of the people, but it is about time j that all had reached a conclusion as to what changes, if any, are to be made on their farms. " Thus far, to my knowledge, no one who J has been talking or writing for publication, has given the definite plan or course that j they themselves intend to pursue. Now it ' occurs to me that if these intelligent farmers 1 could or would give something definite, it 1 would help some others to reach a conclu- 1 sion. Many of them are leading men in ? t.hpir Rpctinn of countrv and have a greater ; or less following. Naturally the small fanners look to and follow after the successful large farmers. As nothing of the kind seems to be forthcoming, I will gi ve you the plans of a little, insignificant farmer as formulated last fall. To begin, I will say it will require four mules to prepare and cultivate the crop on our place this year. The crop to be planted on this place will be about as follows: Two acres in Kentucky blue grass, fifteen acres in cotton, two acres in Irish potatoes, two acres in White Burley tobacco, one acre in sweet potatoes, one acre in sorghum cane and one-half acre in rice. Outside of the above everything else is to be in corn, except a crop of wheat and oats already sown. Out of all these crops, some one or more will command a good price. Should none of them command a good price, they may easily be changed into fat hogs, horses and mules, cattle, sheep, chickens, butter and eggs, etc. There is no good reason why any farmer should not be able to realise more out of the above crops than he has realized on any cotton crops gathered during the past two or three years. It is next to needless to comment on any of the above crops as the people are already familiar with them. However, a few words may not be out of place. For the past two months, and the next two months, Irish potatoes have and will command one dollar per bushel. Annually York county sends North several thousand dollars for seed Irish potatoes alone. The same seed is capable of being improved and grown here as well as anywhere else. . Rice is another article that can be grown s in York county, and with a little experience, r Drofitablv. There are large quantities of ) land in York county that is too low and wet t to grow corn. It will make as fine rice as 1 can be grown anywhere else in the State. 1 Thousands of bushels of rice can be grown t in this county on lands that are now produc- 1 ing absolutely nothing. This is an article r. the cost of which all farmers are familiar. \ In 1857 or 1858 A. J. Hullender raised on an adjoining farm to mine as fine rice as I ever ] saw anywhere, and when I speak of rice it t is with full information of what I am talking t about. I spent the greater part of the past 1 year in Hampton, Barnwell and Orangeburg j counties where every farmer raises this pro- t duct for his own use and for sale. Rice is ] not raised on lands that are flooded, but up- 1 on low lands that are two wet in the spring ( to be planted in corn and cotton. I watched 1 its cultivation, and feel certain of success. 1 The blue grass is an experiment. I have ' been induced to try it by two Kentuckians, < who gave me the seed and all the necessary < information. It may be more interesting | to speak of it later on after I see how I come { out. 1 We can't all think alike, so my plan will j not please all, but I feel sure that if it is 5 persistently followed, it will heat the sub- 1 treasury scheme twenty to one. I propose < to follow it till I make or break and will not < fly off at a tangent between these points, 1 let others do as they may. ' JOHNY GETYERGUN. 1 Grover, N. C., January 25. i uould'notes.

Correspondence of the Yorkvllle Enquirer. ^ Lowrysville, January 25.?We are hav- ( ing some fine weather now, and if it con- j! tinues oat sowing will soon be the order of \ the day. As the result of the protracted meeting, js seventeen persons were added to the church, j( There are some very wrathy citizens i1 horeabouts who own property in McCon- ! nellsville school district. The cause of their J bad temper is the action of a few (seven) \ men, last Saturday in levying a school tax ' of two mills in that district. The matter I { will be tested in the courts. The Enquirers for Lowrysville failed to ! j turn up here until Saturday last. The Guthriesville and McConnellsville bundles 1 were put off at this office on Wednesday. I 1 think from what I can learn, that the blame { lies with one of Mr. Wanainaker's "coons" { of the railway mail service. I interviewed the "coon" on Friday but he was as innocent as a little lamb as to the cause of the delay of The Enquirer, and when informed that he had left the Guthriesville and McCon- ! nellsville papers at this office, he seemed a ! little surprised. Mr. Wanamaker wants crit- 1 icism of the mail service, and we hereby ! criticise. A couple of Italians with a bagpipe and monkey are doing the town. They find J nickles rather scarce. w. o. ?

The drummer recognized one of the Davises as a Mr. Daniel who had been doing >usiness in Charlottesville, Va., and who had iwindled his creditors and left the town. The drummer called "Davis," "Daniels," and vas informed that he was mistaken. The ' Irummer insisted and Davis finally owned up, i >egging, however, that he be not exposed, j The drummer would make no promises, and ' he Davises immediately set to work to colect what bills they could and left the town.

Pickett, before his death, was the husband of - * i i l ;he lady named, and having accuinuiaiea an extensive property it was his desire that VVofFord college, after the death of his wife, ie given the advantage of said property. The interest from the amount was at the iisposal of Mrs. Pickett, but the lady has seen fit to give a great part of the interest to ;he institution to which her husband had ?iven the principal. There is also a large library which Mr. Pickett willed to the college, ind tl^is will be brought to the college as soon as practicable. Rev. John C. Kilgo, ;he financial agent of the college, will go at 1 mce to Chester and take the matter in jharge. The receipt of this money will give J ;he college an endowment of about $126,000. There have been made promises by certain , kvealthy Carolinians that when the endownent reached $100,000, substantial additions , vould be made. The college authorities i lope for the fulfillment of these promises, J ind when they are fulfilled Woflord college ivill take even a greater rise than she has in he past five years. ? A large part of the business portion of j he towu of Edgefield was destroyed by fire i ast Thursday night. The fire broke out J ibout 11.30 o'clock in the basement of the i Masonic hall, or Advertiser building, and | spread rapidly until all the surrounding i juildings were in flames. There was no : ire department in the town and nothing 1 kvith which to fight the fire except water j mckets and blankets. For a while it looked i is if the destruction of the jail was inevita- j Me, and all the prisoners were taken out xmi placed under guard. After a brave j ight, in which many of the citizens risked heir lives, the building was saved. The j heaviest individual loss, estimated at not ess than $13,000, fell on Thomas J. Adams, ( proprietor of the Edgefield Advertiser. Mr. i idams was the owner of the Masonic hall 1 juilding, in which there were several large i itorerooms. He had no insurance. The otal lpfes to the town is estimated at $50,000 ,vith less than $10,000 insurance. This is , :he third time the town of Edgefield has been , ilmost entirely destroyed by fire. Where j ast Thursday morning stood every evidence )f substantial prosperity, there is now only ghastly walls and spectral chimneys marking < i scene of melancholy desolation. The origin of the fire is unknown and there is no suspicion of incendiarism. ? Mention was made hist week that Superntendent of Education Mayfield was in Union investigating a shortage in the accounts of the treasurer and auditor. As the esult of the investigation, Governor Tillman las removed Treasurer Scott and Auditor : Morgan from office. Mr. Mayfield found a shortage SI,132, that many polls not charged )n the hooks. The exact status of the case has lot yet developed. Some hlatne the treasu- ; er and others the auditor, while still others ay the discrepancy on the clerk who serves >oth officers. In the report to the governor Mr. Mayfield says: "It is perhaps but proper for your information that I give you the nformation that was given me as to how the natter came about. The treasurer claims hat it was the auditor's fault in not properly linking up his books. The auditor says he ivas sick in bed at the time the books were completed, and left their completion to his clerk. The clerk, who, as I have before stated, serves both the auditor and treasurer, says dint at the time he was completing the books for the treasurer, which arc but duplicates of :he auditor's books, lie received a telegram calling him home on account of sickness of tiis mother, and that he supposes he forgot t. He says he did not include it in the abstract sent to the comptroller general, which iie, the clerk, made up for the auditor." ? Columbia Register, Saturday : Attorney General J. L. McLaurin had a rough time Thursday night. 1 lis experience on that occasion he will not soon forget. He was very mxious to come from Bennettsvillc to ('ol.unbia to attend the meeting of the Phosphate commission today. The Charleston Sum tor and Northern railroad was under ivatcr and lie determined to ride to Kollock's station and take the Clieraw and Darlington road. He heard that the road to Clieraw ivas open and attempted to reach that point. He and three others started out for Cheraw in a carriage drawn by two horses. Heaver Dam creek was up and the adjacent country flooded. The horses started to wade bravely, but soon got out of their depth and took to swimming, pulling the carriage and occupants after them. It was impossible to turn the carriage around as canals flanked the road. One of the party was nearly drowned. The carriage was at the edge of the road and he stepped down to make some investigation. He missed the road and stepped into the canal where the water was running swiftly. He cried for help, a whip was extended to him and he was pulled in. The traces were cut and the horses mounted, two men bestriding each horse. The party pushed through some way or other after having to swim when the horses got out of their depth. Finally they got to higher land. Some negroes and a flatboat were found. They went back and pulled the carriage through. The harness was patched up and the journey resumed. Converse College.?President B. F. Wilson, of Converse college, has issued a circular with reference to the burning of tne main building of the college on the night of January 2, last. The circular makes the following statements: The large annex, which can comfortably accommodate seventy-five students and tea teachers, was saved. The entire first floor of the annex was built for recitation rooms, and furnishes good accommodations for teach-* ing. The physical and chemical laboratory, with all the appliances, and large recitation room, were uninjured. Music rooms are provided for and a number of new pianos are placed in them. An art room, well lighted and furnished with all needed materials, was immediately prepared. The same faculty will be retained, and work in every department continued as before and without interruption. We appreciate very much the many letters and messages of sympathy and encouragement that have come to us from all over the country, but especially do we appreciate in this trying time the entire loyalty of patrons, teachers and students of the college. We will begin at once to rebuild a larger and finer building than before, which will be thoroughly protected from fire by waterpipes and fire-proof walls, and by next October a building of which the South may be proud and which will gratify the patrons and friends of the college, will stand where the former building stood. Tillman and a State Primary.?A Greenville dispatch of last Thursday says that Governor Tillman, who was then in the city, expressed himself as still being in favor of a State primary. "Uut tney (meaning the low-country people) won't have it, and we will never get it. They don't propose to let our twelve counties in the upcountry, with a large -white vote, control the nomination of State oflicers. They have got a large black vote and can't afford to have a direct primary. They will never agree to anything more direct than a primary for delegates to the convention."

"You Are Standing in Your Own Light." It is really gratifying to mo to bo able to say that no dealer in Agricultural Implements has ever introduced an implement that has given such universal satisfaction as the Corbin l)isk Harrow. It is endorsed by every farmer who knows anything about it. The latest opinion that has been furnished me is given below, and is from a man who knows what lie is talking about: Yorkville, S. C., January II, 1892. Ham M. Grist, Yorkville. 8. C.: Dear .Sir:?About the first of September I was induced to try one of your Corbin Disk Harrows. I have given it a fair trial, and can say without fear of contradiction that it has no equal as a farming implement. I huve sowed my wheat and oats crops with It. and I am satisfied It was done at fur less expense than the same size crop was ever before put in on the county farm, and better. All that is necessary on cotton stalk land is to rip up the stalks, sow the wheat or oats on the ground, and run the harrow over It. I can take a disk harrow and two strong mules and sow six to eight acres of wheat or oats in a day. Now Just think what a saving of time and labor ttiis is?tho work of at least six mules and six hands by tiic plan commonly pursued by our farmers J Another point in favor of t lie harrow is this: You can take nlmost any kind of improved farming implement, and in order to succeed with It you must have your land in apple pie order, while with the Corbin Harrow the rougher the land the better the work it docs?it asks no favors. I have a (treat deal of wire grass on t lie Poor House farm and am sure that by running the harrow over it about twice, I will have it in ushnpe that It willglvemc no more trouble. It will put stiff bottom Innd in a *lmpc that it can be worked without difficulty. I want to say to the farmers who may read tills, that you are standing in your own light when you fail to buy or even postjxme buying a Corbin Harrow. It will liny for itself over and over ngain every year. I would not undertake to farm without it, since I have learned its value, for three times its cost. In regard to tho Seeder Attachment, I will say that I have tested it thoroughly and it is n ll that is claimed for it. It sows wheat or oats in the very best manner, und can be taken off or put on t he Harrow in one minute. Again, I say to the farmers, buy it, even if you have louse less guano this year in order to pay for it. It will pay, und pay well. Wm. P. wyi.ie, Supt. York County Poor House. I have on hand only a few Harrows, ami would say to those who expect to buy one to sow spring oats, or prepare corn and cotton land for planting, tlint the}' had better attend to tho matter without delay.
