LETTER PROM UNION COUNTY. * (Md? and End* of Neighborhood New*? Sunday-School Address. Correspondence of the Yorkvllie Enquirer. Etta Jane, April 25.?A few nights ago some miscreant shot five bullets into the store door of Mr. G. W. Whitman, at Jonesville. Several of our people visited Spartanburg last week to witness the laying of the corner stone of Converse college. A close examination of the peach crop shows that there are still a good many in some places. In others it is a complete failure. Mr. Joe Estes is sick. He has been confined to bis bed for a day or two. He has something like grip. The wet weather of last week put a stop to farm work. The creeks overflowed their banks and the ground was washed in some places, badly. Abingdon Creek and Salem churches are, as yet, without pastors. Arrangements are being made to have them supplied for the /vf fKia VMP rUlUNUUVI V? vu.<; j Cotton seed planted before the wet weather set in seem to be all right yet. Almost every fanner has a crop of sugar cane planted this year. This is undoubtedly the cheapest crop we can raise if we are only ready with mills and evaporators to make it up at the proper time. I have been slightly called to task for saying in last week's paper that "I didn't know of a boy learning to shoe a horse, mend a chain, sharpen a plow, or half-sole a shoe." I meant that there were no apprentices learning any of these trades in this county that I knew of. Those who work at such occasionally can only be called cobblers at best. We need first-class mechanics. Mr. Robert A. Foster yesterday addressed the Broad River academy Sunday-school on "the duty of a Sunday-school teacher." This was his first attempt. Some of the boys said he had been practicing all week. If so, I commend him for it. I am told that is the way Colonel McKissick, "the Pea Ridge plow boy," got his start. He would get on a stump in the field and make speeches while the other hands were at work. Thus be won his reputation as a "plow boy" and orator at the same time. But, by the way, I always did suppose that he spoke more than he plowed. However, he made himself what he is?one of the leading criminal lawyers of the State. We hope others of our young men will follow Bob's example, * and let us encourage them, brother Sundayschool workers. We regret to learn that Mr. Willie Smarr, of Hopewell, lost his mule last week. Only those who have lost a work animal at a busy season like this know how to appreciate his condition. It is the duty of his neighbors to lend him a helping hand and push his crop on until he can make arrangements to get another. Fortunately he lives in a neighborhood and among people who have not to be lectured upon their duties. Mr. Thomas Harris I learn is quite sick at his hbme near Hopewell postoffice. He is an industrious, honorable poor man and deserves the sympathies and attention of the people among whom he lives, and I think will get it. Sigma. BOCK HILTHAPPENINGS. The Death Roll?Accident to Mr. Wwoteu? * ? ? * Witer-n oris?rersoiiai uu mucr Jim* ler*. * Correspondence of the Yorkvllle Enquirer. Rock Hill, April 26.?Mrs. Anna, the wife of Mr. E. 8 Campbell, whose illness I reported last week, died on Saturday and Was buried on Sunday, the funeral being conducted by her pastor, the Rev. W. M. Anderson. She leaves a husband and four children. Mrs. Margaret Shillinglaw, of the Mount Holly neighborhood, died on Sunday of grip, and was buried at Neely's Creek on Monday. She was the wife of S. W. Shillinglaw, who was killed at Sharpsburg in 1862. Her mother died on the same day of the same month nineteen years ago, and strange as it may appear, she told her physician, a week before her death, that she would die on Sunday. She leaves two daughters. The remains of Captain F. A. Sitgreaves were brought to this place for burial this morning. He died at the insane asylum, to which .place he was sent last fall, and was in the 58th year of his age. Eddie, the one year old child of Mr. G. W. Ayers, a factory operative, died last Saturday of roseola, and was buried on Sunday. W T. W Wnntnn section master of the Smith's Turnout section of the C., C. & A. railroad, had one of his legs broken recently. 9e was riding on his hand car, which ' was going at the rate of about fifteen miles an hour, and through an accident, fell off in front of the car. The car ran over Mr. Wooton's leg, breaking it and jumping the track. The limb was considerably mashed up, but after being set -by Dr. Crawford, is doing very well. The committee appointed to investigate the matter of waterworks, have received bids, and will soon submit prices, etc., to a mass-meeting of the citizens. It will then be decided as to whether the town will go into the enterprise. In case waterworks shall be constructed, the supply of water will come from Catawba river. The new arc lights are now in operation, and are perfectly satisfactory to everybody. Messrs. 8. T. Frew & Co., propose to open a branch store in Fort Mill. Rev. W. M. A .Jersonand family leave today for a mont ii's visit to their former home. Mrs. R. T. Fewell is visiting her home in Jackson, Tenn. Dr. A. Mack and wife, and Miss Lizzie Mack, of Fort Mill, spent several days in town last week, the guests of Mrs. A. R. Banks. Mrs. R. P. Stewart, of Charlotte, is the guest of W. H. Stewart. Miss Ruth Allen has returned to her home in Darlington, after a visit of several weeks to friends in Rock Hill. Mr. E. M. Thomson is off for a week, see iug friends in Gaffhey City. Mr. 8. L.

Correspondence of the Yorkvllle Enquirer. Sharon, April 25.?The weather has been very gloomy during the past week and that gloom seems to affect everything. Therefore a cheery letter is not to be expected of j me?especially as news is about as scarce as > cotton blooms in April. I am glad to report that Mrs. Jenkins, who j has been quite ill for several days, is able to | be up again. Master Johnnie Rainey, who had the misfortune to get one of his legs broken a few weeks ago, is improving. Mr. James N. Ross returned home last' week from Boston, where he has been for sometime past studying vocal music. I un derstand that he will devote most of his j time this summer to teaching, and as he is a fine musician, those who desire instruction will do well to consult him. Mr. W. L. Plexico, of this place, expects tc start for Florida this week in the interest of a patent medicine house. His friends here wish him success in his undertaking. Miss Macy Sherrer, of Blairsville, is visiting friends at this place. Miss Belle Carroll, of Yorkville, visited j Miss Iva Whisonant last week. We see several candidates going around shaking hands with the dear people. They have not formally announced themselves, hut anybody can tell what they are tip to. j a. k. i BLACKSBIKO* BUDGET. The Farmers and the Weather?Quarterly Conference?Accession to the Towu?Illness of Mr. John B. Mlntz?Other Notes. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. Blackhburg, April 26.?Owing to the almost continuous rain for the past two weeks, our farmers have been hindered and their work kept back ; but as many of them had finished planting corn and do not intend to cultivate, by half, as much cotton as formerly, I guess they have not really lost much time. The quarterly conference of the Methodist church for Blaeksburg station, was convened here on Saturday last and closed on Sunday inight. There was a fair attendance of dele-* gates, and good collections made. Presiding | Elder Rev. (Jeo. T. Harmon, of Hock Hill, j was present and delivered several interesting j and effective sermons. N. W. Hardin, Esq., i was elected superintendent of the Sunday- j school. Mr. M. M. Freeman, formerly auditor of | the Three C's railroad, with his ofliee at this place, and of late chief clerk in the ottiee of C. P. Hammond, superintendant of the Charlotte and Atlanta road, has returned j he?b for the purpose of engaging in business with Major Johu F. Joues and making Blacksburg his future home. The many warm friends of both Mr. Freeman and his accomplished wife will be much pleased to know of this valuable and permanent accession to our town and society. Captain John B. Mintz, one of the oldest, and for a great many years a very prominent citizen of this section, is very ill at his home on Broad river, and seems to be gradually, but surely, nearing the end of a long and active life. Mr. Wm. A. Whisonant has recently purchased of Wm. M. Jones, Esq., a valuable property of four acres of land on Pine street, near the lime kiln, and is making preparations to erect a handsome dwelling on a portion of it. Major Jones left last night on a business trip to New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore. w. a. THAT BLAIRSVTLLE MEBTIS?. A Communication Involving the Question of Sincerity. Mr. Editor: In The Enquirer of the 13th instant is a communication From Mr. R. T. Riggins, stating that at the :re-organization of the Democratic club at this precinct on the 7th instant, an attempt was made by the "Opposition" to capture the club. When the club was reorganized there were Ti'llmon on/1 civl^pn fLIltl preecui incite inuuuu ? Tillman men. If, in fact, any attempt was i Sade to capture the club, will Mr. Riggins j ease explain how twelve men outvoted! sixteen V Mr. Riggins says, "If evidence was heretofore wan.ting to show that the opposition of the present administration is not honest and sincere in their profession to be in full sympathy with the Farmers' Movement, it was abundantly furnished at our precinct j meeting last Saturday." Thus, Mr. Riggins charges not one man, but a (Jass of men? his neighbors and friends?good citizens and loyal Democrats, with not being honest and sincere. We trust that Mr. Riggins's state-; ment is neither the best nor most abundant: evidence of his charity, which is said to cov-! er many sins. The truth of the matter seems to be that our friend has become unnecssarily alarmed,! "rattled, as it were," and in his sudden paroxysm of fright, "talked through his hat." Like the coon, he seems to be "skeered." If he is ever again tempted to rush into print with his fancied woes, we would respectfully advise that he pluck a feather from the wing of his imagination and stick it into j the tail of bis judgment, and fly a more accurate flight.

Master Charlie Brandt, of Chester, is paying Master Howard Moore of this place a ! visit. ? Three prisoners?two white men and a! j negro?escaped from Lexington county jail' last Sunday morning. One of the white J! men was a school teacher named Bryant, who was recently brought back from Texas j on the charge of forgery. On Sunday morning, after Sheriff Drafts had given the prisoners their breakfast, he stooped down to pick up the empty pans and dishes. At a signal from Bryant, the negro, who! is a very strong fellow, seized the sheriff1 around the body and pinioned his arms, j Bryant then choked the helpless man and took his keys away from him. While the n<i(rrn WrtSi still hnldintr the sheriff. Brvaut! unlocked the door, and he and the other' white man made good their escape. After I the white men had gotten away, the negro j dashed the sheriff up against the wall and followed. The Sheriff recovered himself in ! a few minutes and followed, raising the j alurm as he went. The assistant jailer and j the sheriff's son answered the alarm, and j the three followed the escaping prisoners.! The negro and one of the white men were soon overtaken and intimidated into surren- j der by the too close whistling of pistol balls I about their heads. Bryant got away into a ! swamp, and at last accounts had not been ' captured. Bryant is a desperate fellow and has attempted to commit suicide on several occasions since his arrest. It is not believed I that he can be recaptured alive. Not Likkly to Meet with Favor.?A News reporter has met with two gentlemen recently?one living in the city and the j other in the counfy?who hold some inter- j esting ideas on politics. Both of them are Tillman men as between the governor and ' Governor Sheppard, and both believe thut! with effort their ideas can be carried out. They do not want to see either Tillman or Sheppard nominated, and they say that for the good of the State both should be drop-; ped by the nominating convention* and u a man put in who will be agreeable to both ' sides. Both of them regarded General Earle, j of thi3 city, as the man who would restore j confidence und allay the bitter feelings. One ; of the gentlemen says he intends to write j ??. ovinia aii unhipft. for nnhlieation. It a>i t?. v.. ~ j t is not likely, however, that any such program j will ever be carried out, as both sides are ; confident of winning and see no reason why either should give in.?Greenville | News.

With a voice like theory of a giant the virtues of Campbell's Anti-Ferment should be proclaimed from every hill top, valley and plain. In the summer complaints of children, and the diarrhoea and dysentery that accompanies teeth- , ing, and that so often proves fatal to the child, it is of untold value: A joy and rest and peace to the I mother, and a boon to the child. One dose will j relieve the most distressing attack of flatulence or wind on the stomach. One dose cures heartburn or acid stomach. A dose after each meal is such an aid to digestion that bad forms of indigestion and dyspepsia soon yield to the treatment. A Kingdom for a Horse. A kingdom for a horse cried Richard the III. Anti-Ferment for a horse is very much better, j One 50 cents l>ottle is warranted to cure any case i of colic in the noble animal, if the directions are : followed.

The following voluntary testimonials as to the , value of our low priced, but high grade sewing i machines, have recently been received, and are j printed for the information of any who may de-; sire a thoroughly first-class sewing machine | at less than half the price usually charged for j machines of similar grade by agents and dealers: i Hornkboro, S.

I take pleasure in adding my testimony as to the value of the Chicago Singer Sewing Machine which I lsmght of you last September, after a thorough test. It gives perfect satisfaction and I would advise all w ho want a machine to buy the Chicago Singer. Mrs. E. 11. McSwain. The Testimony of a Veteran. Mr. Robert S. Hope, of Lowrysville, Chester county, S. C., is well known, either personally or by reputation, to scores of readers of Thk EnntMRKH and to them needs no introduction at my hands. To those who have not the pleasure j of his acquaintance, L will say that he is one of Chester county's most successful fanners and | valuable citizens. He has probably owned and | used a Corbin Harrow longer than any other farmer in upper Soutli Carolina, and for this reason his opinion of and experience with the machine is possessed, of peculiar value. I recently requested Mr. Hope to give his opinion of | the implement for publication, and he has done so. Here it is: IjOWKYsvili.k, 8. C., February 11,1882. Mk. Sam M. Grist, Yorkvllle, 8. C.: bear Kir?You request me to give my opinion of the worth of the Corbin bisk Harrow us a farm implement, after a long experience In using one on my funn. In reply, I would say that I place a very high estimate on the Harrow. It does its work so thoroughly, und so rapidly, thut 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 mv small grain crop very successfully. The Harrow pulverizes the soil so thoroughly (leaving no clods behind It) that 1 invariably secure a good stand of smull grain, and leaves the lund smooth and in a condition to harvest the crop with machinery, without further labor or trouble. The Harrow Is a grand Implement to use with a pair of mules, but It is a fur more efficient one with four mules attached. I hud used iny Corbin Harrow but a short time with a jsilr of mules until I was thoroughly satisfied that I was not utilizing Its full capacity, or In other words thut It was capable of doing a great deal more work in a day if I would weight it down, odd horse power und give it speed. Since then 1 have used four good, strong mules to my Corbin Harrow, und have more than realized my expectations. The draught was so much lighter for the four mules, notwithstanding the Increased weight, thut they could travel ut greater speed and the burrow accomplish greater results. Tho urea of lund I can harrow In a day with four mules depends on Its character. Oil my level, sandy luuds, when I can secure long, straight furrows, I cun, with an ex)>erlenced driver, harrow an acre of land every hour, or usually ten acres a day. I find my Corbin Harrow very useful In breaking dubble lund thoroughly and speedily. It Is lnvuluuble to pulverize cloday bottom lunds. Die disks cut the clods and pulverize und smooths the land more effectually than any implement I have ever used for that purpose. In a dry fall I consider the Corbin bisk Harrow indispenslble in putting in my crop of winter outs ut the proper time. [I think the lust of Augustor the first week in September the proper time to sow]. If it Is dry weather and the lund 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, the oats spring up, grow and take good root before the cold weather, and are prepared to withstand the winter freezes when later sown oats, not so well rooted. are often spewed up by the frost, the stand badly Injured, and the winter crop of oats a fullure.

January 7. !?*?. is if m* TOMORROW 0 May be Too Late; at Least That Has Been the Experience of Others. 0 THERE are hundreds, yes, thousands of men all over this country who thoroughly realize that no plan has yet been devised by which they can more easily and surely provide for those dependent upon them in case they are taken away by death, than a life insurance policy in a first class company. They all expect to attend to the matter some day?next fall, next year, when their financial condition is such that they can supply all their imaginary wants and have a sufficient surplus to carry a policy. Thousands go down to the grave every year without attending to the matter, and leave their dear ones penniless and to depend either on charity or to eke out an existence as best they can. Is the picture familiar? Is it overdrawn? Read the following extract from The Insurance Post, of London, England, and learn what one who speaks from bitter experience has to say on the . nuujuui i I am looked upon as a happy man. The world aays: "There la Wright; he's a lucky dog. What a lovely wife he has and what tine children! If you want to see a charming home, look in at Wright's." I was a happy man; I used to fancy myself one of the most lortunate fellows alive. I felt proud of the way I had got along; sometimes I used to think I surely must have been born under a lucky star; I seemed to prosper in everything. When I began in the store I was the junior clerk, but I worked up; promotions never seemed to fall in anybody's way faster than they did in mine. Kvervljody said when I married; "Bright's a lucky dog." My wife was the belle of the city; it would have gladdened the hearts of lifty fellows whom I might name to have won her if they could, but her love was reserved for me. Then the children?well, well, a father's praises are usually accepted with grains of allowance; I won't say anything that might seem to be mere parental rapture. Now, I've mentioned the reason why the world thinks me a happy man. Perhaps you think 0 \fv / - a/1 t T u'iuh if u'nu LUi: n Ul iU 13 I l^UV 1 4UJ MWU ? a Tf COM av The other day an old friend, a school chum, called on meat the Htore; we got to talking about life insurance. I don't know how many life insurance men have tried to induce me to insure my life; I always put them off. Frankly, I never thought seriously a)>out needing life insurance?never thought I needed it now. I remember that I said to myself, "After awhile." I knew I hadn't saved any money, but then I would. Once an agent tried to tell me it was my duty towards my wife and children to insure ; I thought him impertinent. He made me angry: I fold him I knew my own business. My friend urged me to takes policy, as he had lately engaged in the life insurance business. Finally, I said I would, thinking it a favor to him ; it was easier to say yes than no. I went to be examined by the medical examiner. Two or three days later I was asked to call again. I was examined a second time. I thought the proceedings a bore, and began to wish I had not signed the application. A week after my friend came into the store; I asked him aliout my insurance, and he said the company had rejected, the application. He didn't say it quite as direct as this, but in a roundabout hesitating way. He tried to be gentle in imparting tne information. At last I came to understand that I was uninsurable. "Kidney disease?incurable," the examiner said. I consulted an eminent physician ; he confirmed it?quietly told me I might live two years. Two years!?two years in which to urepare to die! I dare not tell my wife; it would lie well enough by-and-by. Like a condemned felon, I count the days and hours?days and hours in which to breathe silent farewell to those I love. What can I do in two years?such years? What provision can I make for them ? I said I never thought seriously about life insurance. I never did until now, when it is too late. "Uninsurable !" rings in my ears. Never did. a leper shudder more at those words descriptive of his fearful doom, "Unclean! unclean!" than I do as the voice in my ear says, "Uninsurable!" It says more than that. It tells me of the cruelty of my procrastination; it tells me that I am dead, that my dear wife and children are destitute. Myliod! it is hard to bear. Everything that made me happy before makes me wretched now. The agony of the thought of parting from my family, terrible as it is, is as nothing to the certain knowledge that I shall leave them comparatively poor. I have figured it all out; after paying my funeral expenses there will be barely enougli left to supply them with the necessaries .2? ? # $ \fv fn'onrlu hfluo Ui uiu uirniA iiiuiuiin. ~ . begun to notice that "Bright has acted que:r| lately." s * I saw a young woman today i begging on the street, and with her were two little children, who tugged at her skirt and cried: "Manuna, please take us home; we are so cold and hungry."
