Severe but True.?Bishop Caper has issued au address calling upon th< preachers of his own church, aud al preachers in oth?-r churches to delive a sermou December 19th, on the Sane tity of Huuiau Life. The sentiment of the bishop is al right; but he might just as well sinj Psalms to a dead horse as to try mora suasion on red-handed murderers. The right thing to do is to create i public sentiment against the perjurec jurors who acquit murderers of theii crimes. As long as perjured juror; are classed among respectable or law abiding people, murder will be ex cused, and the crime of murder wil occur when a cowardly assassin sees t man put his band in bis hip pocket The fact is, that arrant cowards, wlx are afraid somebody will kill them OUgn C. to oe uisaruieu, ueiure tuuiuiiv ting murder, or if committing rnur der, ougbt to be convicted.?Abbeville Press and Banner.

In Conclusion, Let Me Say That I Would Not : Pretend to Farm Without It. SEVEN YEARS ago, Mr. W. Holmes Hardin, of Chester county, enjoyed 1 the distinction of being one of the most practical and successful farmers in the i Piedmont section, and according to the s best information at hand he still ranks , among the first. The appended endorsement of the Corbin Disk Harrow was s written by him in March, 1890, and what 3 he said then we are sure lie will %ndorse . now. Read it and do some thinking: ? CHESTER, S. C., March 27, 1890. Sam M. Grist, Yorkville, S. C.: Dear j ' Sir: I have owned a Corbin Disk Harrow ; s for several years, and consider it the most \ ) useful and economical farming imple1 ment of which I have any knowledge. 5 Mr. Corbin has done more for the farmer ' than all the politicians, reformers, etc., combined. He has done something prac? tical. No farmer can fail to be benefitted s by the use of the Harrow, and the more it is used the greater the benefit or profit. r It is almost the only so-called improved farming implement that I have ever seen that would (in all its manufacturers claim1 ed for it, and the only one that would do more. Every farmer should have one, and a man who is able to buy fertilizers for his land is more able to buy a Corbin Disk Harrow. The time will come when the Corbin Disk Harrow will he considered as much of a necessity on the farm as the wagon, sewing machine, cooking stove, and I might say, the plow ; and the " sooner it comes the better for the farmer. It only takes a farmer, who lias been ac- ! customed to the old way of doing things, about one hour to realize how much time < and labor he has literally wasted before 1 he used the Corbin Harrow. In conclu- ! . sion, let me say that I would not pretend 1 to farm without it. Respectfully, W. Hoi.mks Hardin. " We sell the GENUINE CORBIN DISK HARROW. It has never had a success" fill rival. If you want a so-called Spad- ' ' ing or Cutaway, we can furnish you one made by the manufactures of the Corbin. i The Corbin has solid disks and they are . the best; hut as stated we can furnish the other if you prefer to take the opinion of i someone who has had less experience than we, and will furnish the best harrow of that pattfn on the market. It's mechan, ism is identically the same as the Corbin, , the only difference being in the disks. ' CRIST COUSINS.

It is the emblem of DURABILITY, and its use is preferred by all experienced painters where a perfect job is expected and required; and what is more, I am selling it at a less price tban most dealers are asking for an inferior quaility of paint; but since I have such a good article to offer to the public, it is from the large sales that I expect to realize my profits. If you are thinking of painting and want to obtain the best results, use MASURY'S RAILROAD PAINT. IT WON'T SCALE. IT WON'T CRACK! IT WON'T PEEL OFF. There are thousands of paints that are inferior to MASURY'S ; but not one superior. When you paint your buildings, use the best. I have had years of experience and it teaches me that MASURY'S is my mascot. Sold at $1.25 a gallon; the best oil at 45 cents. See my color card and let me give you any other information desired. T. B. McCLAIN, Yorkville, S. C. Raw or Boiled Linseed Oil only 45 cts. ESTABLISHED 1891. L. GEO. GRIST, FIRE INSURANCE AGENCY, Yorkville, S. C. A GENTLEMAN walked into The Enquirer Office a few days ago and asked to see Mr. L. George Grist, the fire insurance agent, who was called to the general business office without unnecessary delay. The visitor explained that he wanted $1,000 insurance on his dwelling and that incaseof fire he could save his furniture and of course would not need anything on it. The visitor was asked what the value of the house was and he stated that it costa little the rise of $1,000 just 16 years ago. He was asked as to the condition, whether painted or not and about the roof, etc. Ob, said the visi tor it is in nrst-ciass cnuuuiou, we uuveu-k bad to do any repairs on it since we built it. It is not painted; it is not built of material that would require paint. In reply the insurance agent stated that the insurance companies represented by him were of the highest class and paid their obligations without quibbling, and that all insurance companies restricted applicants to three-fourths of the ACTUAL CASH VALUE. New, your house would be entitled to $750 ; but since it has not been painted or no improvements made, the DETERIORATION must certainly have been very great, at least $300. This would make the actual cash value of your house about $700, and would allow you about $550 insurance. When you insure your bouse at its actual value you must make allowances for wear and tear, if any, and you'll never have trouble to collect your money. An insurance policy is a bond of indemnity, and is supFiosed to have no feature of speculation, t is not ri^ht for you to pay the premiums on a hcticious amount uor is it right to expect the companies to pay for something which was not lost. Sentimental valuation has uo business in an insurance policy. Trustworthy and reliable individuals can always get trustworthy and reliable insurance. It is much better to under insure rather than over insure. In insurance on cotton it is different. You are required to carry the full amouut of its actual value. The following companies are in my agency and no one has the honor to boast oi represenunK a siiuugci wnmivu companies: The jEtna of Hartford, Conn. The Continental of New York.
