ljumovous Department.!
A Domestic Failure.?She was a young
wife just married from boarding school, one j
of the lovey-dovey order, and, although ed-1
ucated in Boston, didn't know beans from
any other vegetable. Hence this dialogue !
with the cook :
"Now, Briddy, dear, what are we to have j
for dinner?"
' There's two chickens to dress, mum."
"I'll dress them the first thing. Where
are their clothes ?"
"Holy Moses, mum, they're in their feathers
yet."
"Oh, then serve them that way. The ancient
Romans always cooked their peacocks
with the feathers on. It will be a suprise to
hubby."
"It will that, mum. Sure, if you want to
help, you could be parin' the turnips."
"Oh, how sweet! I'll pair them two and
two in no time. Why, I had no idea cooking
was so picturesque."
"I think, mum, that washing the celery do
be more in your line."
"All right, Briddv. I'll take it up to the
bathroom, and I've some lovely Paris soap
that will take oflf every speck."
"Thank you, mum. Would you mind
telling me the name of the asylum where
you were eddicated? I think I'll have to
take some lessons there myself if we be goin'
to work together."
The Scholarly Waiter.?This is one of
the latest stories picked up on the hotel corridors.
A Western guest at a Boston hotel
picked up a menu and casually remarked to
the scholarly waiter:
. "Do you suppose I can get a meal from
this bill of fare?"
"No, sir, you cannot," responded the
woitpp with an nir of nuiet confidence.
? "l
The guest was surprised.
"I can't?" he asked.
"No, sir."
"Where's the head waiter? Bring him
here."
The underling politely called the head
waiter.
"Here," said the guest, "this waiter says
I can't get a meal from this bill of fare."
"The waiter is right, sir," replied the
chief.
"And I can't get a meal here?" inquired
the guest, shoving back his chair.
"Oh, yes, you can, sir," interposed the
head waiter; "but not from the bill of fare,
sir; you can get it from the kitchen, sir;"
and the guest sat down again, dashed beyond
the power of speech.
Valuable Information'.?The visitor at
the business man's desk might have been a
tramp, and he might not. In any event, he
was not there asking a loan.
"Do you want to know how to make a
dollar?" he inquired politely.
"Yes, I'd like to know how to make several,"
replied the puzzled business man.
"You can, sir; but, of course, you must
know how to make one first."
"That's so. Tell me how."
"My information is valuable, sir. It will
cost you 10 cents."
"That's two beers."
"Yes, sir, including the lunch that goes
with it."
"Here's two dimes. Now, tell me."
"Well, sir, when a friend strikes you for
$5 lend $-4. Good morning, sir," and as the
visitor passed out the business man remarked
that it wasn't half as bad as begging a dime,
anyway.
A Hard Handicap.?A party of football;
devotees were in an elevated train, and the
other passengers were much annoyed by
theirloud and boisterous conversation, which
related entirely to the game and its players.
One young fellow boasted so long and earnestly
about his running abilities that a crusty
old man in the opposite corner resolved to
take some of the conceit out of the youngster.
"So you think you can run a little?" he
demanded.
"Bet your life I cau," was the prompt reply.
"I'll tell you what I'll do with you," continued
the old man. "I'll race you for a
five dollar bill if you'll give me a yard
start."
"I'll go you. But where will we run?"
"Up a ladder," was the prompt reply.

An Ample Apology.?A brother of the
poet Wordsworth, who was both absentminded
and short-sighted, went to stay with
some friends, and although he was carefully
instructed in the geographical position of the
bathroom, when it came to the point he
forgot his directions. Therefore, it happened
that he wandered blindly into a lumber
room, and from it he withdrew in the greates
possible haste and confusion ; for in it
there chanced to be an old plaster cast of
the Venus de Medici.
Bathless and uneasy he dressed himself,
and when he arrived in the breakfast room
he made his hostess a little speech.
"I have," he said, "an apology to offer to
the ladies of the house. I have no idea
which of them I disturbed this morning at
her toilet, but I regret exceedingly that I
should have caused any one of them annoyance
by my action, and hope that I may be
forgiven."
Many Episcopal bishops are in the
habit of describing themselves "by Divine
permission bishop of" their diocese, in offi-1
cial documents. A certain bishop not long;
ago had occasion to send such a document,
to a most devout, but not highly educated,;
layman. Thereupon it became the duty of
the layman to draw up and sign an official
document relating to some church business,
and noticing the phrase referred to in the |
bishop's paper, he thought it was incumbent j
upon him, also to recognize the Divine guid-1
ance. So, in entire good faith, he described j
himself as "John Smith, by Divine permis-,
sion. grocer and dealer in all kinds of flour !
and feed." The paper never got into the
archives of the church, however.
?6T" An Eastern drummer who was in Knoxville,
listened to the complaints of a mountaineer
about hard times for ten or fifteen
minutes, and theu observed: "Why, man,
you ought to get rich shipping green corn to
the Northern market." "Yes I orter," was
the reply. "You have the land, I suppose,
and can get the seed?" "Yes." "Theu
why don't you go into the speculation ?" j
"No use, stranger," sadly replied the native; |
"the women is too darned lazy to do tho
plowiug and planting."
Testing Their Motives.?Sweet Girl?j
Papa, I wish you'd lock up your money and
pretend to fail; there's a good old dear. It
needn't last more than a week or two, and
there are so many failures now no one will
find fault.
Father?Of all things ! Wha?
Sweet Girl?Oh, it's all right. You see,
I'm engaged to nine young men, and I've
got to get rid of at least eight of them, somehow.
?
Why She Didn't Like Them.?"I don't
believe in those secret societies," said one
lady to another.
"That's very singular," replied the other.
"Your husband is a Mason, a Knight of
Pythias and a Knight of Honor, and you i
will have at least $10,000 when he dies."
"But what good does all that do me?" was
the tearful response, "when he never dies?"
and the poor creature burst into tears.
The Last Chance.?Eliza and Jane were
two old maid friends, and Jane broke the;
bond by marrying. Her husband was con-j
spicuously homely, and the first time Eliza
met Jane she said, scornfully: "Good gracious,
Jane, why didn't you marry a monkey
and be done with it ?" "Oh !" smiled Jane,,
sweetly, "I thought you might like to marry |
some time, and I didn't want to take your
last chance."

RAISING TURKEYS.
Turkeys are generally considered very'
delicate fowls and very hard to raise ; but,'
having had considerable experience and sue-1
cess in raising them, I will be glad if I can ,
be of any aid to those wishing to try the t
business. I like chickens best, as the returns
from them are quicker coining in ; but,
where one is well situated, there is no reason
why both cannot be raised. The first
thing is to secure the eggs, and this is best
done by keeping up the hens until they have
laid each day; for, if they lay out, your dogs,
if you have any, or your neighbors', will be
pretty sure to find the nests sooner or later.
A turkey loves a secluded spot, and nothing
ic n li.-utfw ni'st tlinn n flnnr barrel turned on
the side. Put something under each side to
keep it steady, some stones in the barrel
about half way down, to keep the nest in
shape, ana a liberal armful of leaves.
Shape out the nest, put in a nest egg or
two to entice them, and what more could
any turkey ask or want? These are best for
them to sit in too. You should have a light
plank door to set up in front of each barrel
and a stake driven close up to it so as to
keep it in place. As soon as my young turkeys
are dry I take them from the hen as they
hatch and put them in old llannel in a basket
or box, near the fire, if cold, for the turkey
is apt to mash them. Before giving
them to the mother hen I grease each little
head over slightly with kerosene oil, by dipping
my finger in and rubbing it well iu the
head feathers or down around the throat, for
turkeys, like chickens, have those head lice,
which I think turn to worms, or their eggs
do, in their windpipes and give them gapes
just like chickens. Taking this precaution
with my chickens I rarely have a case of
gapes.
I make a rail or log pen eight feet square
and cover it over with plank, giving it a
slope so the rain will run off. I have this on
the sunny slope of a hill and make a ditch
at the upper side so as to keep the water
from running iu. I keep up the old turkeys
(for two or three may stay in the same
pen) for a week or two or until the little
thiugs are strong enough to follow the hen,
and after that every bright day, as soon as
the dew is off the grass, I let them out, and
off they go with their young flocks picking
up insects of all kinds. If they do not come
up before night, I have them brought up and
put in the pen. The little turkeys can go
in and out of the pen through the cracks.
To be successful with turkeys, they must
have a wide range, for they have never become
thoroughly domesticated like the chicktlipina
Koct in n nmirlitinn m-n rpef tn !
nature.
I feed at first almost exclusive on the curd
from boiled buttermilk or clabber. I found,
by putting a tablespoouful of vinegar to about
a gallon and a half of buttermilk, the yield
of curd was more than double. Some feed
corn bread, or light bread, either soaked in
buttermilk, and some just keep pans of buttermilk
sitting where they can get it whenever
wanted, but all find buttermilk an admirabled
feed. After awhile I give them
wheat screening, scraps from the table, and
anything convenient. Turkeys are big feeders,
and are a long time getting ready for I
market ; so if you keep them up all the
time, and do not let them hunt for their living,
you will not clear expenses incurred,
leaving out your care and trouble. So
give your turkeys wide ranges, but don't let
them stay out iu the weather, for young turkeys
can't stand being wet. I am not so situated
now that I can raise them, for I have
not the range for them, but I used very often
to have flocks of splendid looking turkeys
come up at night to their roosting tree,
for after they get large, nearly grown, I let
them roost in a tree. I never feed them at all
when they were this size, for they got enough
for themselves.
SIMPLE REMEDY FOR GRIP.
About a year ago, W. Tertsh Lander, of
Williamston, S. C\, furnished the Columbia
State with the subjoined remedy for the grip.
It was reproduced in The Enquirer at the
time, and having learned from various sources
that the remedy proved efficacious in a
number of instances, we reprint it for the
benefit of those who are now, or may hereafter,
suffer from the malady :
A year ago, when the influenza or grip
was so prevalent, I noticed a report on the
disease from one of the best hospitals of Europe.
This hospital is in Edinburgh, Scotland.
At the time of the report, hundreds
of influenza cases had been treated there.
After fighting the epidemic with varying success,
a happy accident led the superintendent
to adopt an alkaline treatment with an extreme
case that was brought in. A full dose
of saleratns was given every two hours.
Although the patient was in convulsions
when brought in, she became cjuieter a short
time after the first dose; and only three doses
were given before the patient was clearly on
the way to recovery. In three days she was
counted well. This same simple treatment
was then followed with a thousand, not one i
of whom died. Best of all, not only was the j
influenza promptly cured, but there was no '
unpleasant or dangerous symptoms following I
recovery. It has been observed that not
more die of the influenza than what may j
follow it.
From some work in mv chemical labora- j
tory, carried on before this report came out, I
I had concluded that the influenza was at!
least associated with excessive acidity of the j
system, if it was not caused by this abnor-1
mal state. I was so certain of the correct-;
<i.;0 ?i,
i ics ."5 ui l111 .~5 viu? uiai, vii mi vii * ?s? i
bed myself with the influenza, I treated my-1
self only with alkaline drinks to counteract j
the acid. The result was, that instead of
two or .three weeks of punyness, I missed I
only one day from work.
The success with my own ease was so astonishing
that I have been called to treat
other cases ; and of about twenty-five treat-1
ed, very few have had to give up work j
more than a day?some not all.
Not being a physician, I should feel some
hesitancy in offering my cure, if after I had
begun to try it, it had not received the high
endorsements quoted.
At first, I used the carbonate of lithia,
which is the best of the alkalis for the purpose.
Hut as my practice (all charity) enlarged,
I left so expensive a drug, and contented
myself with the carbonate of potash
and soda. These I found practically as j
good as the lithia.
For the sake of the suffering public I
would say that the dose 1 have used for j
grown patients has been a level teaspoon of1
baking soda, dissolved in plenty of water,
taken every two hours until headache and j
soreness are gone, then one extra dose for!
good measure. It is not best to take a dose
just before or just after eating. I have rarely
found more than four doses needed.
Since the system is in an acid state, calomel
c'" course is a very dangerous medicine,
and m;:ny deaths from influenza are, without
reasonable doubt, traceable to the use of calomel
in the disease.
It is interesting to note that when all else j
failed, our grandmothers used to euro the'
worst colds with "fire coal tea." This was
simply a crude saleratus treatment. So
there is nothing new under the sun, and wise
theory simply proves the soundness of
another of their old practical ways.

A WAR STORY.
Between Fairfax Court House and Washington
city, there was still standing in a state |
of good preservation, at the beginning of the
ill-starred war of the States, a venerable co>
i t ?M.i-? (U,
Jomai DUllUlll^, W u li/ii) iuuu?u uuiiu iui
Church of England divines, was known to
the Confederates as Fall's church. Near it
stood a substantial mansion house of the
plain, square style so common among the
wealthy classes of that part of Virginia. Its
inmates consisted of Mrs. Dulauy, a widow !
lady of elegant and refined manners, with
her son and daughter. Edward had just
reached his majority, and was theu captain
of the Fairfax Rifles, as successor of Captain
Marr, who was killed a few weeks previously
in a night charge of Federal dragoons. Susan,
just seventeen, was spending a few weeks
with an aunt in the city of Washington.
During the month of June, 1861, the Federals
established a picket station at Falls
church, and their lines included Mrs. Dulany's
dwelling, but excluded her spring and
stables. Though very much inconvenienced
by their presence, yet the commanding officer
allowed her major domo, Daddy Ned, to
make tri-weekly trips to Washington with
his milk wagon without molestation. His
constant attendant was his daughter, May,
who was one of her young mistress's maids,
of the same age and similar stature.
The family with whom Susan was sojourning
had many friends among Federal officers,
and she soon became a great favorite, and
more than one of them worshipped at the
shrine of her wit and beauty; but none could
win her heart, for true as the needle to the
pole, it was fixed upon a dashing Virginia
cavalryman, to whom she had been previously
betrothed. In parting she promised him
to ascertain the time when the Federal army
would move on to Richmond. This information
was of vital importance to the Confederates
; without it, Beauregard's small force
would he a slight impediment to the onward
march of so great and fully equipped an
army as McDowell had marshalled. Unless
General Johnston, men in me vaney, couia
reach Manassas in time to unite with Beauregard,
the latter would he crushed. The
Confederates had many agents in Washington;
but down to the 13th of July nothing
positive had been carried to Beauregard.
Saturday evening before that date a brilliant
array of uniforms shone in the parlors of
Mrs. B . Miss Susan's aunt, and among
them the love-sick officer who was seeking
to win her affections. Conducting her to a
bay window, with impassioned earnestness
he exclaimed:
"Oh, Miss Sue! will you not have pity on
me?"
"Ah! what can be the matter, colonel ?
You are looking quite well, indeed !"
"Why, then, mon ami, my looks fail to index
my feelings. I have had a vision, or
perhaps a dream. It seemed I was leading
my regiment into the approaching battle
with the rebels, and as I charged, a bullet
struck me in the chest, and whilst I was falling
into the arms of a friend I awoke."
"Why that is indeed a frightful dream !
But you must remember our grandmothers
have always taught us that dreams go by
contraries, and I am sure the rule applies
with force to yours, for there is not likely to
be any more fighting, as all questions between
tho sections are to be adjusted by arbitration."
"Ah ! my dear young lady, I wish it could
be so ; already enough blood has been shed
by brothers of a common ancestry, to appease
the masses of the departed leaders who commence
this strife : (Sotto voce.) But alas!
peremptory marching orders have been issued
for Tuesday morning next."
"'Twas this order, then, caused your
wretched dream ?"
"Yes, no doubt, for I believe dreams are
the reproduction for the most part of our
waking thoughts."
"Then I pity you indeed, as you are wont
to have such horrid waking thoughts!"
"A truce to your badinage, ma chore mademoiselle
; do be serious on the eve of our
parting, perhaps to meet no more!"
"Why, Colonel, I was never more serious
in my life, and I cannot but think, as you
are such a dreamer, the order you mention
came to you in a dream."
"Indeed, then, I will convince you of its
reality, for I wish you to be serious ami listen
to me." Handing her a paper, he continued:
"Here is, inter nos, the general order from
headquarters; so you see there cun be no
mistake."
"Oh ! can it be so? How sad !"
And here the young colonel eloquently
told tlie storj of his love for the fair youug
Southern girl, in utter forgetfuluess of General
Order No. 1, which she still kept in her
possesion. Meantime, she scarcely heard the
declaration of love, so pre-occupied was she
with the determination to keep that paper
fraught with the destiny or ner near souinlaud.
But she seemed to give earnest heed
to his burning words, and whilst gradually
concealing the paper, pleaded her youth and
thoughtlessness, but said with the true feeling
of a lady, that if he should be ordered
into battle, she hoped he would not only escape
death, but even the scratch of a wound,
and he parted with her, hoping he would
return from Kichmond victorious, and fully
claim her heart. But alas! the gallant Colonel
C fell upon the field in a charge.
which he led near the Stone Bridge, and
mirabile dictu ! as he fell from his horse,
aid-de-camp Captain K received him in
his arms!
Trembling with anxiety our heroine spent
that night and Sunday iu planning how to
pass the cordon of guards which surrounded
the city. Indeed no one could do so without
a pass from provost-marshal's headquarters.
.Monday morning came, and with it Daddy
Ned on his usual mission. In a moment she
caught the idea. The maid, May, dashed
upstairs to see "Missy." It took our heroine
only a few minutes to explain to her faithful
inaid that she must remain at her aunts, as |
she herself wanted to visit her mother. And j
so she donned May's gown and basque, and ;
closely fitting sun-bonnet, with red shawl i
and thick brown veil; and lightly tripping
out to the wagon, took her seat beside the;
impatient Daddy Ned.
And so accustomed were the sentinels and
patrols to the old negro and his team, that!
he passed them all without undergoing ex-j
animation or challenge. And before dusk '
nnr hnrnitio w.ia in h??r mnllinr's chamber TC
vealing to her the important mission she had
undertaken.
But many difficulties remained to he surmounted
before she could reach the Confederate
lines. .Daddy Ned was called in for
his counsel and assistance. She must reach
Bonham's headquarters early next morning.
Daddy Ned had observed that the mounted
patrol came at sunrise from the road she
must travel, and the relief did not go out for
an hour afterward. "Den, missy, I take de
horses to water at de spring, an' you come
wid de pail on your haid fur water jis' like;
dat gal do ebry mornin', den, I put you on j
yo' pony, an' you jis' go long!"
Next morning, with pail on her head, and j
attired as beforo in her maid's costume, she
passed the sentinels and reached the spring, \
mounted her favorite pony and rode towards ,
the Confederate lines. In less thau two ^
hours, whilst displaying a white 'kerchief:
to her riding-whip, she was halted by a,
mounted picket: "What, ho! Can it be
possible! What, you here, ma chore, Susie !
My queen of hearts!" were exclamations
which fell so fast from Lieutenant Tyler, j
Susan could only cry out: "O Ernest, you
madcap!"
"Stop this and conduct me to headquarters
\> II. I1V/IIL VU lU^ . A. <4111 ?.??V JiUUIJ j
this horrid win, and have important news!" ;
"Then, dear gossip, come ! I am glad I have
caught you!" And so with hearts full of
love for each other and devotion to their
country, they rode into Colonel Kershaw's j
camp. Colonel Kershaw immediately con- j
ducted her to lion hum's headquarters. The ,
latter placed ti e young heroine and hcrcav-1
airy escort in charge of his gallant aide-dc- j
camp, James N. Lipscomb, who conducted
her safely to Beauregard, at Mitchell's l'ord.
Then Beauregard was enabled to signal by [
Hags to Johnston's lookout, on the mountain
top ; and with Jackson's, Bee's and Bartow's !
brigades, Johnston inarched across the couu-:
try, wading the Shenandoah, and reached !
the field of action July 21st, in time to bear!
the "burden and heat of the day."
That events of that day carried sorrow to
many hearts, is too well known to all; but
to none a keener pang than our heroine.
Friday, the 19th, her brother, Edward, was
desperately wounded whilst leading the Fairfax
Killes in the engagement at Blackburn's
Ford, and she and her mother hastened to
the rear to soothe his sufferings. Ho died
that day week. Again, in the last charge,
which the Virginia cavalry made on the 21st,
near the Lewis house, a charge which, in
spirit and dash, was not surpassed at Balaklava
hy tlie "Light Brigade," young Tyler
fell, mortally wounded. And there upon the
field of battle the dauntless girl found him.
"Oh, Earnest, Earnest! you will not die!:
Do not leave me!" Faintly he whispered:!
"Hold my hand, dear Sue! The shadows of j
night are coming o'er me ! Stay by me ! for j
without thee, I dare not die!" "Oh, you
must not die! I will freely give my life for
thine!" But alas! it was otherwise ordered.
As the shade of night came on, there amidst
the green grass and blooming clover, he
passed into the dark valley of death, and
gave up his young life at his country's cull.
And now there arc three graves in the old
Cedar Grove churchyard : One Federal and
two Confederates, enclosed by a curbstone of!
white marble, surmounted by a single shaft,
inscrioeu wun incir name and virtues una
representing the unity of the trinity of her
affections, who, still beautiful, may be seen
at "dewy eve" standing, waiting to be called ;
and on Memorial day, carefully adjusting on
each a chapletof arborvittu and immortelles,
and twining round the shaft an evergreen
garland wreathed with blue violets and gray
mo9s, emblematic of the indissoluble union
of the "Blue and the Gray" on "fame's eternal
camping ground."?Thomas S. Arthur,

DO you know that a RUDDER STAMP is a
very useful article with which to mark
your collars, cull's, shirts and handkerchiefs?
Well, if you don't, it is time you were learning.
And it is also useful to merchants to stamp
their wrapping paper, etc.; also useful to hotel
clerks, bankers, druggists, postmasters, etc. I
have on hand some very tine specimens of type,
suitable for marking clothes, and also for stamping
envelopes, letter heads, bill heads, statements,
shipping tags, visitingand business cards,
etc., which is at least equal to, or better than 75
per cent, of the ordinary "botch-work" of amateur
country printers. I also sell steel stamps,
wax seals, seal presses, door plates, German
silver key checks with name and address, and
also badges for policemen, railroad conductors
and porters.

on the THIRD DAY OF JANUARY, 1K04.
In making our annual announcement we avail
ourselves of the opportunity to return thanks
to our friends and patrons for the generous support
that has been extended to THE ENQUIRER
for the past year, and to say that during
1H!(4, we do not intend to take any steps backward
; but will endeavor to make the paper more
and more entitled to the support of the people of
York county.
THE ENQUIRER having intelligent, trustworthy
and wide awake special correspondents
in York and adjoining counties, but little transpires
in which the people generally are interested,
that is not promptly made known through
its columns. Besides this, it shall continue to
be our aim to watch carefully after everything
that is calculated to make known to the outside
world the business advantages and natural resources
possessed by York county?agricultural,
mineral and climatic?and when we say York
county, we do not mean any particular section
of it, or any particular class of people: but THE
WHOLE COUNTY A NI) A LL Til E PEOPLE.
While the local and general news departments
of the paper will be carefully lookod after, all
the features which have given THE ENQUIRER
a distinctive original character from the
lirst day of its publication will be maintained.
From time to time it will contain short stories
anil serial stories from the best writers; every
week a column of fun and humor; carefully selected
and seasonable articles intended for the
benefit of the farmer and housewife.
To recapitulate: It is our aim to print a hightoned,
clean, newsy family paper; one that is
RELIABLE, and one whose weekly visits will
always be looked forward to with pleasure by
its patrons.

A BUGGY made by the CAROLINA BUGGY COMPANY, of Yorkvillo, is a thine of beauty,
and is as durable as it is possible to make a vehicle with the same amount of wood and steel,
uid for this reitson THE ENQUIRER has been using the CAROLINA BUGGY CO.'S
vehicles for several years as a PREMIUMS TO CLUB MAKERS; and as we have never used a
\ more acceptable premium, have decided to continue its use
FOR THE FALL AND WINTER CONTEST OF 1893-94.
The buggy we have arranged to offer is a $90.00 OPEN BUGGY with either end or side-bar
springs, and as stated above, is as tine a vehicle as is on the market at the price, and we think it *
equal to a great many that sell for more money.
It is our purpose to award this buggy to the CLUB-MAKER WHO MAY RETURN AND k
PAY FOR the largest number of YEARLY SUBSCRIBERS?both old and new?between
NOVEMBER 1, lMtt, and THURSDAY. MARCH lath, 1K!?4, at 4 o'clock p. m., whether, the

The reputation of the CAROLINA BUGGY COMPANY'S WORK is something of which
the people of South Carolina should feel proud, us notwithstanding the fact that our country is
now passing through the greatest financial stringency of the past twenty years, the company nas
been operating its plant to its full capacity and has been unable to keep up with the orders. No
stronger testimonial could be offered as to the high standing of its work with those who know what
good work is.
SOMEBODY IS GOING TO WIN THIS BUGGY,

propose to do is to award it to the person who returns and pays for the largest number of subscribers,
