LETTER FROM UNION COUNTY. A Small Boy's Narrow Escape?The Weath-1 er and the Crops?Other Matters. Correspondence of the Yorkvllle Enquirer. Etta Jane, April 18.?I learn that Mr. Will Brakefield's little boy, Ward, about 7 years old, came near hanging himself last Saturday, at his home on Mr. W. S. Wilkerson's place., He got up on a chair to get into a swing, and in some way he got the rope * around his neck and was swinging in that condition when he was relieved by another " boy. When taken down he was nearly dead. The recent frosts have considerably damaged fruit and garden vegetables?especially the former. Upon the highlands there are some peaches left. One of our old time farmers says corn planted in the new of the moou won't be troubled with cut worms, while another proposes to plant then that the ears will be above the water in case of a freshet. The theory is that corn planted then will grow ~ taller than if planted in the full moon. I merely mention this that "moon" people may govern themselves accordingly. I haven't heard anything from Mr. "Tillet" Porter as to the weather outlook. If Jeff Blackwell's theory is correct, we won't have any freshet this year?the wasp nests *- Art noor tko ormiind On Sunday night of last week we had a sensational runaway match. The principal actors were Ward Rice and MissHattie Ros3, (both colored.) Rev. J. D. Bailey, (white) performed the ceremony, and Mrs. Lewis, the bride's mother, gave Waddy Thomson, colored, a good pounding with her fist for stealing her (<gal." She told him she was a x man of a woman. At present "all is quiet along the Broad." We are planting cotton now. The acreage is much less than formerly, but generally put in in good condition. Next Saturday, the teachers and other friends of education in this county, are invited to meet at Union to organize a county teachers' association. * Last Saturday, George Petty and Joe Estes caught a cat fish out of Thickety creek which weighed 7 pounds. It was a whopper. Nearly every farmer in this section either has a large bell or wants one. Mr. W. S. Wilkerson, of Hickory Grove, was the first one to introduce the bell on the farm, and his example is being generally followed up. If all our farmer friends will follow his example of industry and good sense in managing their farms, I will guarantee greater success than many of them have had heretofore. "Aunt Sibbie" Donald, who was struck by lightning last summer, has about recovered fh>m the effects of it, except an itching sensation in the wound. She has a barrel of soap that I am told is twenty-two years old. While our farmer brethren are complain. ing (and perhaps justly too) of hard times, they are woefully remiss in their duty. Not a boy in this section that I know of is now learning to shoe a horse, sharpen a plow, mend a chain, make or repair a shoe, or do any of such work. All of these little leaks draw upon the resources of the farm. The tax paying time without the penalty attached expires, in this couuty on the 2oth instant. People are paying up promptly, and from present appearances the delinquent list will not be unusually large. T?ka hronnh roilmad fmm Jnnpsvillft to Lockart Shoals is now being surveyed. Senator Glenn D. Peake is chief engineer. He is assisted by Mr. Perrin. Throwing dirt will probaHy begin soon. Mrs. Laura T. Estes has recently visited relatives and friends in York county. She returned yesterday highly pleased with her trip. The Salem Sunday school has opened this year under more favorable auspices than formerly. New names are being added to the roll at each meeting. I am pleased to hear that Broad river academy has a flourishing Sunday school. They are a working people. Sigma. blacksburg "budget. Expected Visitors Failed to Arrive?Re-Organ Ixstlon of the Three C's?Easter Decorations?Wind and Hall Storm. Correspondence of the York ville Enquirer. BLACKSBURG, April 19.?On Friday morning, a telegram from Atlanta to M^jor Jones, from a member of the Mrs. Frank Leslie Wilde party, conveyed the news that an urgent message from New York bad summoned Mrs. Wilde home, and consequently her party would not be able to make Blacksburg the promised visit. Of course it was rather disappointing to our citizens to miss seeing ? J a r\avtv nf onoh a nrMtiop ttiiU CUI42I KMUIUg a |'W? VJ VI WMVM mm ^r??p- J but we feel proud and grateful that our town was chosen, along with a few others in the South, as a place worthy of their attention, and the laudable object of Mrs. Wilde's trip, the selection of a suitable place for a sanitarium. If they only knew the special fitness of Blacksburg for such an institution, to say nothing of what they missed in the visit, we feel that the disappointment would be mutual, and like extending to them our sympathy, with a hope that they will still avail themselves of the privilege of seeing our place, and enjoying our splendid climate. The festival of Easter was observed by special services at the Methodist, Baptist and Episcopal churches. At the latter church they were, as usual, especially appropriate and beautiful, both morning and afternoon. The chancel of the church was adorned with flower* and evergreens, though not elaborately, yet with exquisite taste and beauty. Over the altar, on a white ground, in large green letters, were the words, "The Lord is Risen." In the morning an excellent sermon, and one suitable to the occasion, was v preached by the rector, Rev. J. D. McCollough, and in the afternoon his discourse was introductory to a series of Bible lectures he expects to deliver on the afternoon of every second Sunday of each month in the year. The subject for the first one will be the first and second chapters of Hebrews, which he requested his hearers to read carefully before the time. These lectures will no doubt be very interesting and instructive to all who attend them.

Of course this means thnt fhn im^uiilmtluu of ftn juml jg-virtually completed and the management of it will be taken out of the receiver's hands at at early day. The debts of the road will be paid, and work begun for its completion. All the furniture, documents, etc., of the company, which heretofore have been kept at 45 Broadway, New York city, were recently moved to Boston, which will be the future headquarters of the road. A severe wind and rainstorm, which was accompanied by a good deal of electrical disturbance, visited our place last night. Several of the electric light wires, the telephone wire connecting Cherokee Inn with Cline Brothers' livery stable, and several of Barnes' city telegraph wires, received the force of the current; but no material damage was done by the subtle liquid. w. a. POINTERS FROVPINEVILLE. South Carolina Politics?The Farmers' Alliance?A Destructive Fire. Correspondence of the Yorkvllle Enquirer. Pineville, N. C., April 18.?We are' watching with no little anxiety the development of political affairs in the "Old State." | We are very few here, but are interested in affairs at home. Well, the next governor will be Sheppard or Tillman. But why express an opinion ? It is too early for that. We can hope for certain events. Will the Alliance stand solid for Tillman? Speaking about Alliance affairs, old Mecklenburg's County Alliance is standing solidly on the Ocala platform. It is this or nothing for them. Their last meeting was onq of great interest. You will hear from this i intelligent body of farmers after awhile, j One thing is certainly true of this organiza- j tion in our county. It has been a school ^ for the farmer. He can and does think nowadays. On Thursday night our town was startled * -/ C J . I Dy ine cry ui lire, uuu wc ic^ici w icpuu that the dwelling and all the buildings in the yard, the property of Dr. J. J. Rone, were consumed. The fire originated in the roof of one of the buildings and was well underway before it was discovered. As the barn was quite near the dwelling, the door v as opened and the horses and a mule were released. In the excitement necessarily attending a circumstance of the kind, the frightened animals ran away and went up the railroad track. About this time a freight train came by at a high rate of speed, and, as a result, one of the horses, a valuable colt, was killed. Another very valuable animal was severely injured, and the mule was also hurt. It is to be expected that the authorities will carefully look into what seems to be carelessness on the part of those who controlled the train. Dr. Rone's loss is very heavy, though he has $900 insurance on the dwelling. The ground for our factory and buildings is beiug surveyed today. The work of building will be commenced soon, and we believe our town will be greatly benefitted by the enterprise. f. c. UUULD NOTES. Catching up With Work?Condition of the Crops?Rev. G. 5. Robinson. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. Gould, April 18.?The farmers have caught up with their work, which has been hindered by recent rains, and a good deal of cotton is now being planted. There is complaint about the stand of corn. That which was up early has been injured by the frost. Wheat and oats are making a favorable show now, and with good seasons the outlook is promising. Admitting that half of the peaches were killed by the recent frosts, we still have the promise of a good crop. The trees could not have held near all the fruit that was on them. A valuable mule belonging to Mr. T. B. Ratchford ran off recently while hitched to a plow. It injured itself badly and may not bo fit for any further use. Rev. G. S. Robinson left last week for Clarksburg, W. Va., where he will outer upon his new field of usefulness. He leaves many warm friends in this neighborhood, who are very sorry to give him up. Bullock's Creek is now without a pastor. A call has been made for Rev. J. D. Swan, of North Carolina, but Mr. Swan has not been heard from yet. I am informed that Mr. John Wallace, who lives about three miles from here in the vicinity of Hoodtown, had the misfortune to lose his barn and stables by fire one night A H nisi wuciv.. LETTER FROM TIRZAH. Scarcity of Seed Potatoes?Lightning Rod Agents?The Mails. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. Tirzah, April 18.?There is still ple-ity of fruit left notwithstanding the recent freezes. We enjoyed radishes and new onions ou Easter, and would likely have had pet s and Irish potatoes had it not been for the frost. A good many of our largest farmers are through planting, but some have not yet commenced. Wheat and oats have been somewhat checked by the recent colcl suap. Seed sweet potatoes are in great demand. Nearly everybody in this section thought they had plenty, but upon going into their hills find that they are mistaken. Some that were bedded out have since rotted. Our section has just been visited by an "epidemic" almost equal to the seven year itch. We refer to a lot of lightning rod agents. They got some of our people to invest, and would have gotten more had they been able to convince the purchasers that the rods would keep the frost off the gardens and fruit trees. ST. M. Stukes, of Greenville, has taken the place of T. W. Hope as section mat ter on the Three C's railroad at this place. The Enquirer of last week, due here on Wednesday, failed to arrive until Friday evening, when it came up from towards Columbia; and on Saturday the mail agent on the same train failed to take on or put off any mail for this place although standing in the car door. These "coons" of Mr. Wannamaker's evidently understand that this is presidential year, and have no fear of losiug their job before the next election. Tirzah. MERE-ME.NTIOX. The Muscle Shoals canal on the Tennessee river has been completed, and Chattanooga, Teun., now has direct water communica-. tion with New Orleans. A passenger train on the Illinois Central railroad was held up by robbers near New Orleans last Friday. The robbers got about $3,000 from the express car. James W. Cooper, a colored juryman, died in Washington one day last week as the result of thi rty-two days' confinement on a murder trial.

The New York assembly last Friday passed, by a vote of 42 to 70 o bill giving women the right of suffrage in St *e elections. Great apprehension :s felt of bread riots in the North of England owing to the shut down of cotton mills and the paralysis of other industries by the coal strike. At Cuba, Rutherford county, N.

Hood has been appointed supervisor of registration for Chester county. ? A horse at Clinton was so badly stung by bees, on Saturday of last week, that it died within twelve hours afterward. ? "Border Ruffian," the famous stallion that formerly belonged to Bogan Cash, but more recently the property of Colonel R. C. Watts, of Laurens, died last week. The stallion was about 13 years old. ? Lancaster Review: A human skeleton was dug out of an Indian mound on Colonel Geo. W. Brown's river plantation last week. Dr. Strait examined it and says that none of the bones are missing. A tomahawk was found in the same mound. ? Minerva Howard, a colored woman, was killed on the railroad track at Seneca last Wednesday. She was standing on the Blue Ridge railroad track watching an Air-Line freight. On account of the noise she failed to hear the approach of a train on the track on which she was standing, and was run over and fearfully mangled. The coroner's jury attached no blame to the railroad people. ? The Sheppard faction claims a majority rrT the dcfrgatcs to the Spartanburg county convention; also a majority in Sumter, Charleston and Richland. Williamsburg is divided about half and half, and with one or two other lower counties in doubt, the others have voted for Tillman delegates. Though the Spartanburg convention will probably be controlled by the anti-Tillmanites, the Tillmanites claim that they still have a large majority. ? Rev. R. S. Hope, pastor of the Presbyterian church at this place, has tendered his resignation to take effect in June, says the Union Times. It has been known for some time that Mr. Hope had offered himself to the Foreign Mission board, and that he had been accepted, and a field in Japan assigned him, therefore his resignation was not altogether a surprise to his congregation, but the request was reluctantly complied with, for during the four years of his pastoral services here, Mr. Hope has, by his ability, his consistent Christian walk and example, endeared himself to his people and the whole community will regret to see him leave. ? rhey had a lively time in the election of delegates from the Laurens township i club to the county convention on last Saturday. It will be remembered that at the reorganization of the club on the preceding Saturday, the Sheppardites were in the majority and elected the officers. The election of delegates to the county convention was fixed for last Saturday, and in the meantime the Tillmanites had arranged to bring in a large number of voters from surrounding townships and capture the club. The Sheppardites raised the question as to whether the outsiders had a right to vote, and the chair finally decided that they were not entitled to the right. The decision created a hubbub and knives and pistols were drawn on both sides. The chairman, however, kept cool, told anecdotes, and some of the boys sang. Finally the excitement quieted down, and the Tillmanites agreed to go into an election without the participation of the voters outside of the township. It was understood, however, that they did not waive their right to appeal to the county oonven-1 tion. As the result, twenty-three Sheppardite delegates were elected to the county convention. ; ? What is known as the Reform wing of the Republican party, held a State convention in Columbia on Tuesday of last week. * There was present probably 150 delegates, ^ representing twenty counties. The convention was presided over by R. W. Memminger, . of Charleston, and J. Hendrix McLane figured extensively. Four delegates at large were elected to the National Republican 1 convention, and other delegates will be elect- ] ed later, as it was determined to send a f full contesting delegation. The Reformers . claim that the old liners have always been after offices and have done nothing for the party. The platform and resolul ions adopt- 1 ed relate entirely to national affairs, though j some of the speakers suggested that as the : Democratic party in this State was divided, 1 the Republicans had a splendid opportunity j to step in and capture the government. < ? The Republican convention of the Fifth 1 congressional district, convened in Chester j last Thursday for the purpose of electing wo riolncrntps tn the National Republican convention at Minneapolis. There were 1 about forty delegates present, and the con- ' vention was called to order by J. M. Clinton, ] colored, of York, district chairman. E. M. { Boykin, colored, of Camden; E. B. Sligh, of Chester; and Dr. Ensor, of Spartanburg, were nominated for delegates. Sligh claim- 1 ed that Ensor could not be sent from the Fifth district, as he was a resident of the J Fourth. Hot words and much confusion 5 ensued, but the election resulted in the choice of Boykin and Ensor over Sligh. Sligh was elected as an alternate, but an- " nounced his intention to go to Minneapolis and contest the seat ot Ensor. ? There was a destructive wreck 011 the > C., C. & A. railroad at Fort Mill last Satur- J day. The south-bound local freight was ^ standing on the main track, when a north- ? bound special, loaded with vegetables, came up at the rate of something like thirty miles 1 an hour. The engineer on the special thought he had a clear track and made no j arrangements to stop. An employee of the ? road, however, had the presence of mind to change a switch, and the special crashed into a line of empty box cars 011 a side track. Although the engineer had reversed his en- j gine and thrown on his air brakes, it was too J late to avoid a serious smash up. The engine of the special was demolished and several cars were torn to pieces. The engineer and fireman both jumped off, and both were . seriously, but not dangerously, hurt.

Hope, of Lowrysville, Chester county, S. C., is well known, either personally or!, by reputation, to scores of readers of The Enquirer, and to them needs no introduction at my hands. To those who have not the pleasure of his acquaintance, I will say that he is one of Chester county's most successful farmers and valuable citizens. He has probably owned and used a Corbin Harrow longer than any other farmer in upper .South Carolina, and for this reason his opinion of and experience with the machine is possessed of peculiar value. I recently requested M r. Hope to give his opinion of the implement for publication, and he has done | so. Here it is: ( 1 x>wuysvii.i.e, S. C., February 11,18112. | Mr. Sam M. Grist, Yorkville, S. C.: Dear Sir?You > request me to give my opinion of the worth of the } Corbin Disk Harrow as a farm implement, after a i long experience in using one on my farm. Di reply, 1 j would say that I place a very high estimate on the | Harrow. It does its work so thoroughly, and so rapidly, that I think it Justly entitled to be classed as one of the greatest labor saving implements used in farm husbandry. I use my Corbin Disk Harrow to put in my small grain erop very successfully. The Harrow pulverizes j the soil so thoroughly (leaving no clods behind it)! 1 that 1 invariably secure a good stand of small grain, j and leaves the land smooth and in a condition to | harvest the crop with machinery, without further j labor or trouble. 1 The Harrow is a grand implement to use wit It a ! pair of mules, but it is a far more c/Ileicnt one with j four mules attached. Iliad used my Corbin Harrow : ( but a short time witli a jwilrof mules until I was thor-1 . oughly sat is tied that I was not utilizing its full capac-' J lty, or in other words that it was capable of doing a great deal more work in a day if I would weight it down, add horse power and give it speed. Since then I have used four good, strong mules to my Corbin Harrow, and have more than realized my expectations. The draught was so much lighter for the four mules, notwithstanding the increased weight, that ; they eould travel at greater s|?eed and the barrow accomplish greater results. The area of land I can harrow in a day with four mules depends on its char-1 acter. On my level, sandy lands, when I van seen re ! long, straight furrows, I can, with an experleneed j ( driver, harrow an aere of land every hour, or usually j ten acres a day. I find my Corbin Harrow very useful in breaking stubble land thoroughly and s|>eedily. It is invaluable to pulverize cloddy bottom lands.' The disks cut the clods and pulverize and smooths the land more effectually than any implement I have ! ever used for that purpose. I In a dry fall I consider the Corbin Disk Harrow in- j dispensible in putting in my crop of winter outsat the proper time. (I think the last of August or the first j week in September thcprojier time to sow]. If it is dry weather and the land hard, I can, by weighting down my harrow, and going over the land two or three times, secure a well pulverized seed bed for my oats?when I could not possibly plough up clods . enough to cover the seed?and when the rains come, j I the oats spring up, grow and take good root before j the cold weather, and are prepared to withstand the i winter freezes when later sown oats, not so well root- i > ed. are often sj>ewed up by the frost, the stand badly injured, and the winter crop of oats a failure. Yours Truly, It. S. Iloi'K. I always keep fori tin Harrows in stock, ami j am prepared to deliver tlieiu to purchasers with- ' out delay. Sam M. (Jimst, Sole Agent.

"Twelve and a-lialf cents, ma'am. t's nothing in the world hut Ginghams, and he manufacturers, five years ago, would have iranded it as such. However, it is pretty and heap, and a costume made of it will melt the icarts of the sterner sex, like snow under a uinmer sun."

TuSr $3,230,404 The Central Trust Company of New York, Trustee ol Its Reserve Fdnd. >A,Dc^,rTK $12,440,800' "XTZZ? $217,000,000 SU8INESS WRIT- A A Q 1 Q QCt? [ EN DURING'91 THE statement that the Mutqal Reserve Fund Life Association of New York furnishes life nsurance atless than half the rates charged by the ^ )ld line life insurance companies, has been repeatedly made in these columns during the past * :en months, and wo res of newspaper articles* from the editorial columns of leading American newspapers?statements that cannot be bought with money?and last, but not least, voluntary ?nd unconditional endersements from prominent i*itzens all over the land, have been laid before the readers of this paper, and now we propose to give a few facts and figures and defy any man to prove that they are not absolutely corrtc t. The 20 Year "Endowment" Policy. Now, in order to make our meaning clear, we will take first the case of an insurable man or woman of the aero of 40 and compare the differ ence in cost between what the old line companies designate as a "Twenty Year Endowment Policy"?the kind a great many sensible men lire deluded into taking?for $10,000, and a "Ten Year Distribution Policy" in the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association for a similar amount. We find by reference to the rate table of a leading old line company that their chaige per $1,000 nf insurance under the "endowment system" is $53, or $530 for $10,000. By reference to the rates of the Mutual Reserve, we find that its rate is 510.20 per $1,000 or $162 for $10,000. We further find that the annual difference in cost in favor of the Mutual Reserve on $10,000 insurance is $368. Now if you will take your insurance in the Mutual Reserve and put the difference in cost between it and the old line company in a stocking or bury it in the ground each year for twenty years, vou will at the end of that time have saved $7,306 in clean cash. And on the other hand, if you will take your $368 and invest it each year at 5 per cent., (is that too high?) at the end of five years your saving and interest will amount to $2,134; at the end of the fifteenth year to $8,338; at the end of the twentieth year, $12,769; so it will be seen, the natural investment of the difference of cost would amount to $12,769, or $2,769 more than the face of the endowment liolicy for which you would have been paying: In case of death at the end of the tenth year, the benefits accruing under the Mutual Reserve plan, to the estate of the de eeasea, wouia oe 91s,ooi; suouiu ueui.ii wcui uu the twentieth year, the estate would receive $22,809 as against $10,000 from the level premium company. Now if the theory of chance is taken into consideration and the assured realizes that there are two chances to one that he will not survive the twenty years, should he keep up his insurance, the fallacy of endowment insurance in the light of the facts given is self-apparent. The "Twenty Payment" Policy. We will now take another form of policy that is very popular with a great manv who go in without investigating. It is called the "TwentyPayment Life Policy." We will use the same age?10?and the same amount?$10,000?as in the first illustration. We find that the rate chareed by the old line companies for this kind of policy is 8:59.80 per 81,000, or $398 for 810,000. Deduct $1(52?the Mutual Reserve rate for a $10,000 policy?from $.'598 and the result is $230. Should the insured live to the expiration of his twenty years, he would receive from the level premium company a paid up policy of $10,000. The difference of premium in favor of the Mutual Reserve at 5 per cent, would have amounted to $7,915. The interest on $7,915 at 5 per cent, would be $395.75 a year, of which amount $162 would continue to carry the $10,000 policy in the Mutual Reserve and leave a balance of $233.75 annually in addition. In case of death during or after the twentieth year, his estate, in addition to the $10,000 received from the Mutual Reserve, would be worth at least $7,915 more than it would have been had lie bought the old line company's "Twenty Payment Life Policy " Is it necessary to carry the illustration any further? Does it look to you as if a man in his right mind, after he knows that he can buy a certain article of exactly the same value as the one he has been buying, at less than half the cost, will continue to buy tho high priced article? Another great advantangeol' the Mutual Reserve system is that it places insurance that insures, within the reach of persons of moderate means. The Mutual Re: erve Fund Life Association writes policies in any amount from $1,000 to $50,000. Its rates range all the way from $13.80 lor a person of 25, to $13.(58 for a person of 00.
