BLACKSBLW& BUDGET. Work on the Darned Cotton Mill?Narrow Etwap at the Reduction Works?Decided to I.eav off a Had Habit?Married .77 Years?Materia Prosperity?A Small Farmer who Farms. Correspondence of the \orkvllle Enquirer. BlacksAURG, January 22.?Work on th< new cotton mill nt Cherokee Falls is progress ing as fast ns possible. Mr. J. C. Plonk, th superintendent, is now visiting the Northeri cities and purchasing new machinery for thi plant. Mr. J. J. Whisonant, of our town, has tin contract for furnishing nil the lumber needei in the mill, and no one has better facilities thun he for doing such work. Besides tw< large saw mills in constant operation in tin mountains of North Carolina, he has at this place, one of the finest equipped wood work ing establishments in the up-country, aud is sending out from it some very pretty and ur tistic work, in house cnishings, etc., to the surrounding towns aim country. He has also contracts for making the large columns for the new GafTney City Cotton mill, anc for building the sulphuric chamber at the Caloric Reduction works in this place. Re cently some new and valuable machinery has been added to the plant, and the services ol several skilled mechanics havo been secured who, with their families, have become citi zens of Blacksburg. Among them are Mr O. F. Lemaster, from Kershaw, S. C., whc has rented the J. W. Tompson house on Carolina street ; Mr. R. Cummings, from Atlanta Ga., occupying the Miss Little's cottage or Rutherford street; and Mr. B. F. Pillow, frorr Richmond, Ya., who, with his wife, is boarding at Mr. J. L. Hart well's. Mr. Church, a mining engineer from Tarrytown, N. Y., is here, aud engaged iu hunting for monazite aud other minerals in the Buffalo Church section. Mr. Gilchrist, of Philadelphia, is here superintendiug the erection of the sulphuric acid chambers, Both of these gentlemen are boarding with their wives at Cherokee Inu. A few days ago, at the Caloric Reduction works, while a GO-horse-power engine was being moved from the sidetrack to its permanent position, one of the ropes broke, the engine fell five or six, feet and then rolled down the embankment 60 feet to the excavation that had been dug out for it. Three white men?Tobe Dillard, Jim Carr and John Galinon?were iif the excavation, and when apprised of their danger, left the place in a great hurry, and, fortunately, all escaped -uninjured. The engine also reached its destination without beiug damaged ; but not in so regular and orderly a way as was iatended. Mr. Wm. Little has undertaken a selfdenial which will require all the force of his sturdy Scotch nature to carry out, and is remarkable for one of his age. He is now . in his Slst year. For nearly 70 years he I Una /tVtrkinnrl taKuo/>a r^niltr nn/1 liniivll* ATlfl i lioo viicncu bvuuvW) uanjr uuu uvukj^w^v. j recently he has determined to abandon the j usele'ss habit entirely. For several weeks the weed has not passed his lips, and he | says that he never felt better in his life. The members of the Methodist church at this place, to show their love for their pastor, Rev. L. A. Johnson, and their appreciation of his services, gave him a "pounding" a few evenings since, which made quite a valuable addition to his larder. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. \V. Deal celebrated j yesterday, at their residence on Rutherford I street, the 57th anniversary of their marriage. This joyous cycle in the lives of the aged and worthy pair was made the occasion for a bountiful and well-served dinner, which was enjoyed by them and a | number of their relatives and friends. The cry of hard times and scarcity of money is co prevalent, and the spirit of complaint among our people is so often and uni- j formly heard, that I often wonder if they I ever think of the many blessings they enjoy, j and if they ever feel that in the condition of! a majority of them, at least, the prayer of Agur in the book of Proverbs, has been realized, wheu he prayed : "Give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me." My own testimony, gathered during an IS years'residence at Blacksburg, is that the citizens of this place and townships have prospered. While none of them have accumulated much wealth, al who have tried have gained something, and added more or less to their estates, as is shown by the new hotf$!s that have been built and furnished, the comforts and conveniences added to the old ones, the increased educational and church facilities,: the improved condition of the farms and live stock, the new and splendid industries which have been placed here, and as resulting therefrom, the iucrease in the value of real estate in aud around our town. As I staled in a former letter, the mnjori ty of our farmers, notwithstanding the low price of cotton, are in as good, and in one! .respect, better condition at the beginning of 1895, than they have ever been. They have : enough bread and meat of their home rais- j ing to make another crop on, and they have j deeply impressed upon their minds and! pockets one of the most valuable lessons j they have ever learned, and that is, they i cannot afford to raise any more cotton for! five cents a pound. Mr. Thos. Martin is a representative man j and farmer in the Holly (trove school j district, near here. He served his State faithfully and well as a member of the! 17th South Carolina regiment in the Con-! federate army. Ky dint of industry and eare, he and his wife have raised, most i creditably, a large family of children, and each year have added a little to the comfort ; and welfare of their home. A few days ago, he told me, in answer to some questions,! that without any extra effort, he made, last | year, 250 bushels of corn, 2G0 gallons of sorghum, five bales of cotton, besides wheat, j oats, potatoes, turnips, peas, cabbage, and j killed 700 pounds of pork. He also made j 1,000 gallons of sorghum for his neighbors i on the shares, and.during the year sold: about 400 pounds of butter, besides a great < many eggs. He lias a weekly trade at, Blacksburg in the two latter commodities, j and lias beeu furnishing them to parties here since the railroad shops were built. Mr. | Martin is not alone. There are other farm-. crs in bis own community, and in every direction from our town, in Cherokee township, who are as well to do as he, and who contribute every year their share to the prosperity of the country.

LOWRYSVILLE NOTES. A Check to Oat Sowing;?Rev. Mr. AVilnon Failed to be on Hand? Itnrglary of a Drug Store. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. Lowrysville, January 21.?We are having quite a spell of bad weather since the first of the year. Oat sowing has been entirely stopped. It now appears that the spring planting of this important crop will be quite limited. Rev. James H. Wilson, of Fort Lawn, was to have preached here yesterday ; but for some reason failed to fill the appointment. The drug store of Mr. E. T. Anderson was burglarized here last Friday night. Besides a number of small articles, $8 cash was taken. The suspected thief was followed to Chester next day and detected in spending coppers very freely, which led to his arrest. A nreliminarv hparinfr is to be held tomor row, and it is believed that all the facts of the case will be fully developed. Jim Gilmore, who served a terra in York jail last year for petit larceny, is believed to be the principal in the case, and it is thought that he had one or more accessories, w. o. u. Floating: liar in Charleston Harbor. ? The executive department was somewhat stirred up last week, over what it was, at the time, believed might result in international complications about the enforcement of the dispensary law. Ex-Constable McDonald reported that liquor was being sold from an Italian bark lying in Charleston harbor, known as the Fortuna. Upon consultation with the lawyers for the State, it was decided to take out a warrant for the guilty parties, arid the warrant was taken to the Italian consul for his approval. The Italian consul refused to approve the warrant. As the result, Governor Evans became very mad, and he threatened to arrest all on board the ship and seize and confiscate the vessel itself under the dispensary law. It afterward developed that the Italian consul was right in refusing to approve the warrant, for the matter was one with which he had nothing whatever to do. It became clear that the vessel, lying within the juris- i diction of South Carolina, was amenable to State laws, and the State authorities had a! right to deal with it as they pleased. When these facts began to develop, the governor cooled down somewhat, ami decided to send Assistant Attorney General Townsend to Charleston to fully investigate the matter. Mr. Townsend learned that while the sailors on board the Fortuna were probably violating the dispensary law, there was not sufficient evidence to prove the fact, and no arrests were made. For the present, the matter may be regarded as settled. Conservative Caucus. ? A caucus of a dozen or more Conservative leaders, including J. C. Sheppnrd,T. W. Woodward, W. F. Dnrgati, Solicitor Scliumpert and others, was held in Columbia on Tuesday night of last week, it is reported, to consider action in regard to the election of delegates to the coining constitutional convention. Special Doticcs. Insurance that Insures. The object of insuring against tire is to protect the propertyholder from loss. In case the property should he destroyed, the owner expects to receive from the insurer indemnity in an amount previously agreed upon. To make this consummation certain, requires that the insurer is not only able to conic up to his contract; but that he can he forced bylaw to do so. Can you afford to experiment ? What is known as an "Old Line" insurance company, is an association of individuals incorporated under State laws for the purpose of engaging in the insurance business. An all important requirement before an insurance company can obtain a charter to do business, is that it must have a certain amount of capital, and that capital is, by law, made responsible for the payment of all losses. Further, such compan-1 ics are required by law, and do, at all times, make exhibits of their capital, assets and lia-< bilities, and at all times the public is able upon 1 inquiry, to ascertain their actual financial con- 1 dition and ability to carry out their contracts, i The insurance business is one of several lnm- j pred years' development. The experience of the past successes and failures have been reduced to carefully prepared statistics, and the possible limits of u safe business have been ascertained to absolute perfection. Xotwilhstund-. ing this, however, there are still, from time to time, honest failures among "Old Line" insur- ! ance companies, and these show that the busi- j ness is necessarily run on a very close margin of profits. But the policyholder seldom loses anything from the failure of an "Old Line" company?except in times of extraordinarily widespread disaster nothing more than the amount of his premiums. When an "Old Line" ; company finds itself unable to continue business, it generally re-insures all its risks with its more successful competitors, and leaves the policyholder safe ami sound. The Lloyds is a time honored and safe form of marineinsutaiiee. It had its origin in Loudon, in a combination of shipowners who got together and insured eaeli other's ships in the same manner in which the farmers of York county insures each other's houses, except that each member of the combination was required to put up a certain specified amount with which to pay his share in cause there should be a loss. Hut recently, another form of Lloyds has developed. The association is formed in very much the same manner its already mentioned, with the exception that individuals interested put up no deposits, except in a nominal amount, and it is expressley stipulated that each is liable i for amy loss only in proportion to the amount lie is supposed to have subscribed bears to the I pro rata of the policy issued. Suppose the association is composed of fifty members, each liable for ?1,000, and there should be a ?10,ono fare. Then each individual subscriber would be liable for only ?200; and if the loss should amount to ?100,000, the liability of the aussocialion would be only 50 cents on the dollatr. Worse than this, the associations of Lloyds is not incorporated under the laws of any State, and should complications arise in the adjustment of a lire loss, there is no getatable legal reserve, and in case of the necessity to site, the members of the association living in the (iitferent States, could be gotten at for the small amounts for which each one is responsible, one at a time, and only through the I'nited States court. 1 In periods of great financial depression, all j manner of swindlers swarm to the front. People are on the lookout for something cheap, and the swindlers take pains to supply it. Insurance, under the peculiar circumstances, ; seems to offer a lucrative field for such swindlers. The chances of gain are great and the' chances of loss are small. They are hedged in and about so they can hardly lie got at by the I law. Within the past two years, there have been in America no less than*thirty-three different companies of Lloyds. Their policies, it is true, j areas good as any, so long as there is no lire, j and in some cases they might even pay a small ! tire loss as a bait; but, as a rule, it is best to j investigate their financial condition. The would-1 be insurer will tind it to his interest to keep his j premiums in his pocket, rather than give them [ to the Lloyds, and lie will be just as sale. The man who desires to keep himself in a position to nroteet his creditors, and also to be able to lie down at night in peaceful security, believing that if his property be destroyed before ! morning he will sustain no loss, had better [ have his policies in the much abused old Line, i Experience of others has proved that that kind i of insurance insures.

Agents for Coate's Cotton. SAM M. GRIST. STOP THE LEAKS. ONE of the principal reasons why some "business" men do not make money, is because they do not stop the leaks. The same reasoning applies with equal force to the farm. No farmer can make money on any crop if it costs him more to produce the crop than he can get for it after it is raised. The proper and economical preparation of the soil is not considered by some. They expect half prepared lands to yield full crops, and when their expectations are not realized, they can't see what the trouble is. The value of time is not counted cither. ' ITV A FEW DAYS, or weeks, at farthest, the farmers in this section will commence to sow onts and prepare their lands for corn, cotton, etc. In numbers of cases this work will be done on the lick and promise plan?the old way. It will be done that way because it is the only way it can be done with the , ordinary twister or bull-tongue plow. That way would sorter do when cotton was worth 1"> cents a pound, and corn worth ?1 per bushel; but it won't do'now. If any prolit is made on the farm, the "leaks" must be stopped. You can , stop a very considerable leak by using a Disk Harrow and Oliver Chilled Plow in the preparation of your land, and you can sow your spring oats by using the Harrow exclusively. You can put in at least live acres of oats in a day with a Disk Harrow and two mules, and the work will be done better than is possible with a plow. After the oats are cut, vou can sow peas on your stubble with the Harrow. No plow is needed. THE CORBIN HARROW. Is without doubt the the best Disk Harrow on the market. It has no rival. There are small would-be competitors; but when it conies to the test, they arc "not in it." Tliei'e are Scores (If turning plows on the market, and some of them are good ones, too ; but none come up to the genuine Oliver Chilled. It goes on its merit and always pleases. It is the cheapest Plow made when light running qualities and durability are taken into consideration. I have sold quite a number of them and every purchaser sings its praises. IF YOU WANT A Windmill, Hydraulic Ham, Piping, Steam Engine, Sawmill, or other kind of Repairs, I would ho pleased to quote prices. Think I can quote prices that will please on Ejectors, Inspirators and Rubber Pelting. SAM M. GRIST, at Grist Cousins. JOHN J. HUNTER.

S. T. FREW & CO., Rock Hill, S. t'. Ami mourn cement TO THE PEOPLE OF THE CAROLINA^ AND OF the SOUTHEAST The Columbia State makes an announcement of more than ordinary interest. By special arrangement with the publishers of that greatest of all reference libraries, The Encyclopedia Brltannica, ninth (latest) edition, we ore enabled for a short time to pl^?? this King of Books within easy reach of every reader. This edition is bound in 28 Royal Octavo Vol Minnies And is the only complete and unabridged edition of tills great work in existence revised to date. That some sort of an Encyclopedia is a necessity, all must acknowledge. That the great Britansica Is the very best Encyclopedia, none will deny. Only Its great cost? $125 for the Scribner Edition, $200 for the Edinburgh Edition-has prevented Its purchase heretofore. At these prices none but the rich could afford to own It. We offer for a limited time to the readers of The State an edition superior even to the costly Edinburgh Edition at the unheard of introductory rate of TEN CENTS A DAY For this small outlay you can secure these a3 Royal octavo volumes, complete and unabridged, revised to date. The Britannica Itself needs no endorsement. For 119 years It has stood the crowning work of our English language, the noblest work in all literature, the one only adequate representative of the advanced thought and scholarship of the world It is the only Encyclopedia In which each principal subject Is treated by an acknowledged authority upon that subject. No other Encyclopedia has given Ten Thousand Dollars for a single article, nor Six Hundred Dollars a page for written matter. The fact that $3,000,000 Was expended in its preparation, requiring the labor of 2,000 of the world's greatest scholars, tells the story of its exalted superiority. Over 600 American authors were employed on American subjects and American Institutions. The Edition We Offer To our readers comprises many features worthy ? of special mention, - ^ t. A thorough equipment ot new maps up to date, costing $30,000 to produce. 2. The American Copyright Articles, rewritten to date by eminent American writers. In other respects this Edition Is word for word, line for line, page for page, identical with the expensive Edinburgh Edition, costing $8.00 per volume. 3. But the crowning feature of this Edition Is its American Additions and Revisions, prepared under the supervision of that widely known Encyclopxdic Editor, W. H. DEPUY, D.D., LL. D., assisted by a corps of trained writers, thoroughly revising the entire work to date. Not only are all Scientific and Historical Subjects brought absolutely up to date, but a vast fund of new information is added, relating to the material, social, industrial and educational progress of the world, together with many thousand New Biographies not In the original Edition nor in any other Encydopxdia. 'For a Short Time This elegant Reference Library will be offered to subscribers of THE COLUMBIA STATU at remarkably low introductory prices, and on terms so easy as to seem almost ludicrous. There are four styles of binding, and all styles have double-hinged, flexible backs, sewed precisely like an Oxford Teacher's Bible, so that they are durable and convenient. It is an actual fact that this book is more strongly bound than th^Editlon which is sold for $8.00 per volume. Upon application we will send you description and prices of the various styles, and you may select any style of binding you choose end have the privilege of paying for It at the rate of 10 cents a day, half the set being delivered to you at once; or, we will deliver the entire set of 28 volumes on payment of $5.00 per month. All charges paid by us to any railroad station in the United States. THE STATE, COLUMBIA, S. C.
