TAX COLLECTIONS.
H. A. D. Neely is the proudest county
treasurer in the state. He is proud of
York county, and he is congratulating
himself. It is all because he has collected
up the taxes this year closer than ever
before for many years, and he does not
think that there is another treasurer in
the state who can touch his achievement.
The total book called for taxes to the
amount of $81,635. Up to the middle of
December, it looked like there was going
to be an unusually big shortage. But
upon the closing of the books December
31, it developed that the total taxes collected
amounted to 379,620.73, leaving a
shortage of only 32,014.27. The collections
include, of course, a certain percentage
of what are known as "additionals."
Just how many, it is not yet practicable
to discover; but the number is
comparatively small, and that the regular
collections show up remarkably well,
there is no question.
The total number of receipts called for
by the books was about 9,000, and the total
number of receipts issued was 8,100,
leaving about 900 still on band. Many of
these are additionals and some double entries,
arising out of unavoidable confusion
of the additional list with the regular
book. Of the 900 receipts referred to,
therefore, it is not probable that there are
more than GOO or 700 real delinquents.
Taken altogether, and not even considesing
the circumstances, the showing is
wonderfully encouraging. And in it,
there is food for thought. Notwithstand;?,??
fVia that tovM pnnstit.nto a kind
of indebtedness to escape which is almost
impossible, this close collection shows
that, after all, the condition of the country
is not nearly so desperate as many
would have us to believe.
ABOUT PEOPLE.
Mr. F. A. Gilbert, cashier of the Loan
and Savings bank, is sick with the grip.
Miss Susie Brian, of Yorkville, return-ed
home last week from a visit to Miss
Bessie Thomasson in Filbert.
Mr. Jerome B. Thomasson and wife and
sister, Miss Bessie Thomasson, spent
Monday in Yorkville the guests of Mrs. J.
M. Brian.
Mr. J. D. Clark, who recently sold his
farm 2i miles east of Yorkville and
? bought the Win. Dickson place, 4 miles
out on the Rutherford road, has moved
to the latter place.
Mr. and Mrs. Dave Walker, of Pleasant
Ridge, N. C., are visiting the family
* of Dr. Win. Walker. Though only a
short distanceaway, this is Mr. Walker's
first visit to Yorkville in four years.
Mr. J. W. Lilly and family, of Clay
Hill, have removed to Yorkville, and
occupy the residence on West Madison
street, next to Mr. J. W. Dobson. Mr.
Lilly's health has been bad for sometime,
and bis physician hasadvised him to quit
the farm, at least for a time. He will be
employed in the livery business.
Mr. Withers, of The State, ca> .e to
Yorkville on Wednesday. It has got to
be quite a saying here that when Mr.
Withers comes The State misses connection.
Such was the case on Wednesday
again. The paper failed to come on the
mail train as it should have done; but
came on the noon freight. It got here all
right Thursday morning, however, and
Mr. Withers, who was still in town, was
congratulated on his luck.
rVvlnmKia 'Rocrist.or Thnrarlftv ; Rftnrft
sentative de Loach, of York, was in the
city yesterday on business connected
with the supreme court. In speaking of
the meeting of the legislature, be said he
saw no reason why there should be a long
session, as the principal business would
be to settle the liquor question, and after
that there would be nothing which should
detain the legislature here. In bis judg
ment 30 days would be the most abundant
time within which to do all the necessary
business.
BETTER RAILROAD SERVICE.
The people living along the line of the
Carolina and North-Western railroad in
York county, have for a long time been
anxious for a more convenient passenger
service than the railroad authorities have
yet been able or willing to give.
The most serious inconvenience is to
the people along the northern portion of
the county?Clover, Filbert, Bowling
Green, etc., who desire a means of going
to Yorkvilleand returning the same day,
L and of the southern portion?Guthries
ville, McConnellsville, Delphos, etc.?who
would be glad to have a similar accommodation
in regard to Chester. As the
matter now stands, people to the south
can go north and return the same day;
but people to the north, who desire to go
south, are compelled to lay over at the
poiut of destination at least one day before
they can return. This is the situation
from which arises all existing dissatisfaction.
Some weeks ago, the town council of
Yorkville, joined by a number of business
men, and also a large number of
citizens of Clover, petitioned President
Harper for such a change in present
schedules as would give the accommodattnuu
(Ifsirpil.
President Harper has just answered the
petition, and along with his answer, sends
a long report by Superintendent Nichols.
The report of Superintendent Nichols
gives a history of alleged previous efforts
in the same direction, and many arguments
to show that the proposed change
is impracticable. A mong other things, he
cites the history of an extra passenger
train which he says was put on for this
purpose; but which the people along the
line of the road, in this county, at the
time, thought it was principally for the
purpose of building up the popularity of
Plowing Rock, and which, he says, was
run at a net loss of $1,000. The upshot of
the whole matter is that the railroad au
thorities protest their inability to do what
the people down this way ask, and the
outlook is that the much-hoped-for relief
will not be obtained for sometime to come.
However, while the reasons and excuses
of the railroad people are satisfactory to
themselves, they will not be at all satisfactory
to the people along the line of the
road, for these people still lack a great
deal of being convinced of any unreasonableness
in their request.
All that the people down this way want
is a train. Whether that train be freight
or passenger, they have not had the presumption
to specify. The railroad people
claim that the accommodation will cost
more than it comes to. That they consider
their claim absolutely correct there
is no reason to doubt; but the general
public cannot see it in tbe same light.
For instance, many will agree in the following
view of tbe situation as suggested
by Mr. G. H. O'Leary, of Yorkville.
"At present, the Carolina and Northwestern
runs daily each way a freight
and a passenger train. Both freight and
passenger move in the same direction
morning and evening, and run the entire
length of tbe line. Tbe schedule is such
that people living at points on the southern
part cannot utilize any of the trains so
as to go further south and return the same
day. It occurs to me that the solution of
the problem, without increased expense
to the railroad, is very easy. Let the
runs of the freight trains be broken in
two. Let one freight train leave Lenoir
in the morning at 6 or 7 o'clock, come
down to say Lincolnton, and return the
same day. Let the other train leave Lincolnton
at about tbe same hour, go to
Chester and return the same day. It i9
claimed that the freight business on the
upper end of the road is heavier than on
the lower end. The run suggested is
shorter, and there will, therefore, be more
time in which to make it. In a like manner
tbe longer run on tbe southern end
can be more easily attended to for the
reason that there is not so much business.
Of course, not being a railroad man, I
would not pretend to say that this is the
best arrangement; but why we cannot be
accommodated on the line I suggest, I am
unable to see."
So matters stand for tbe present. The
people down this way are very much interested
in securing such accommodation
as is outlined, and it is sincerely hoped
that the railroad people will continue the
subject under their most serious consideration.

market yesterday was from 5 to 5jj.

As the result of incorrect information,
it was stated Wednesday that there would

Salesday In Cherokee.
Gaffney Ledger: The only sale last
Monday was that of the one-third interest
of M. R. Reese in the Iron City hotel
at Blacksburg, by the clerk of the court.
It was bid ofi by Thomas F. McDow, of
Yorkville, for $300.
Whisky or No Whisky.
The town council of Tirzah has ordered
an election to be held on January 25 on
the question of whisky or no whisky.
There are 13 registered voters in the town
and a poll of them shows that 9 or 10 will
vote against whisky. What the state
board will do in this event, of course, is
problematical.
Charter Granted.
The secretary of state, yesterday, granted
a charter to the Carolina Benevolent
Association of Rock Hill. The officers
are S. B. Alexander, president; D. E.
Bony, vice president; S. A. Ashe, secretary
and treasurer, and Hal W. Ayer,
Herbert W. Jackson and G. Edgar Leach,
auditors.
Drunk and Disorderly.

will have to answer later.
Wade Got Away.
Robert Wade, colored, was convicted
before Trial Justice Anderson, of Ebenezer,
on Wednesday, of obtaining goods
under false pretences from Mr. W. B.
Fewell, and sentenced to the cbaingang
for 30 days. Alter his conviction he was
put in the Tirzab guardhouse, pending
the arrival of Superintendent Gordon,-of
the chaingang, who was to come for hitn ;
but during the night, in some mysterious
manner, he managed to make his escape.

On With His Journey.
Lancaster Ledger, Wednesday: After
a week's sojourn in Lancaster, Mr. T.
Allen McQuary, of Missouri, the young
man who is traveling around the world
to win the fair hand of the beautiful
daughter of an eccentric old gentleman
in Arkansas, saddled his pony, called up
his dogs and resumed his journey last
Monday morning. During his stay here
lie made a very lavoraoie impression on
all of our people and quite a crowd assembled
to bid him goodbye and wish
him a safe trip and the accomplishment
of his purpose, lie expects to reach
Charleston in the next 10 days.
It Hurt ItusliieNS.
Referring to the smallpox excitement
now over, the Rock Hill correspondent
of The News and Courier says : The experience
has been a very trying one for
Rock Hill. The cost of vaccination was
a considerable item. The loss of trade
during December was great. This redounded
to the advantage of neighboring
markets; but the greatest trial of all was
the unspeakable anxiety which every
citizen felt for himself and those dear to
him. But all these things are over and
this is not a people to sit down and grieve
over milk that is spilled. On the other
hand, Rock Hill's citizens will put in as
much bard work as they have ever d?yie
in 365 days before, and hard work generally
wins hard money.
Caught the Tlilef.
While on police duty last Monday, Mr.
Alonzo Rose did a neat piece of detective
work that resulted in the capture of a
Negro thief, and the recovery of a stolen
gun. It seems that a gun which was left
in the store of Mr. J. H. Riddle for safekeeping,
was identified as the property of
Mr. Roy Carroll. The party who had
possession of the gun, explained that be
bad just purchased it from a Negro, giv
ing in exchange for it a watch and a few
dollars in cash. Mr. Carroll was found
and said that he had left the gun at Glenn
<fc Allison's stable, from which it had evidently
been stolen. The party who had
traded for the property stated that he did
not know the Negro ; but gave a pretty
good description of of him. With this,
Policeman Rose went to work, and within
an hour arrested a boy named John
Oelcy on the charge of cursing on the
streets. The charge, though founded on
facts, was really made only as a pretext
to secure the follow's arrest. Ooley was
taken to the guardhouse and searched,
and on his person was found the watch
that the white man had given him for the
gun.

Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer.
Hoodtown, January 6.?Christmas
passed off very quietly here. Shooting
matches and shooting firecrackers for
adults and children respectively, were
the order of the day Christmas. The
young people did not have the usual
number of "sociables," though they have
had a few. ,
The hot supper at Shiloh, Tuesday
night, the 28th ultimo, was quite a success,
much to the credit of Professor
Chapman. About 16 dollars were realized,
which amount will be used in carpeting
the aisles of the church and other
church purposes. Mr. Chapman is expected
to preach for the Shiloh congregation
this year.
A camp of Woodmen of the World has
been organized at this place. The following
officers were installed last Monday
night, to serve during this year: J. W.
H. Good, C. C.; Jno. T. Wilson, Adv.
Lt.; H. E. Hood, clerk ; A. E. Feemster,

Mr. R. L. Hood is able to be out again

"Let us then be up and doing

Plowing and other farm work has already
commenced on a small scale.
There seems to be a spirit of unrest,
such as has not been seen in years, among

McConnellsville, January 7.?The
holidays have come and gone, and every
one in our little town seemed to enjoy its
festivities. The little folks were up quite
early Christmas morning, to see what
Santa Claus had brought them, and from
their beaming, happy faces, I don't think
many of them were disappointed ; and to
add to their pleasure some of the thoughtful
mothers, gave the children several
parties and suppers. It was quite amusing
to see the gallantry displayed among
the young knights to their chosen little
sweethearts.

(leueral and ex-Governor Hagood,
died at his home in Barnwell last Tuesday.
He had recently been attacked

death he was chairman of the board of

He also stated that all suspects in the I
neighborhood of infected houses had r
been successfully vaccinated, and he c
had no fear of any of them taking the a
disease. As a precaution, arrangements
are progressing for a bouse of .
detention outside the city limits and away
from the pesthouse. The removal
of the sick, the confinement of (
suspects and a perfect system of vaccination
have caused the most timid
to feel secure. Students are rapidly "]

Captured a Boa In Columbia.
Columbia, last Monday night, had 1
the unique experience of a boa constric- *
tor in charge of the editorial rooms of ^
a morniDg daily. The scene of this
event, says a dispatch, was The Register
office, and the following is the
story : About four months ago a dime
museum was showing in this city and 1
a big boa snake was said to have es- J
caped. People here did not believe |
the story and paid no attention to tales n
that were told, from time to time, 1
about a huge serpent being seen in *
various parts of the city. This morn- t,
ing the colored porter of the Exchange ti
Loan bank went into the basement to 1
start the heating furnace. With a yell g
be rushed to the street telling of a n
snake he had seen in the cellar. From
time to time during the day otber peo- j
pie who went into the cellar declared
they had seen the snake. A party p
made up of two members of The Register
staff and one of Arnold's tbeatrical
troupe, armed with ropes, clubs, ,
lanterns and a bottle of chloroform, I
entered the cellar and effected the cap- S
ture of the snake. He was not lively, ?|
on account of the cold, but some difficulty
was experienced in taking bim. n
He was taken to The Register office ?
under the influence of chloroform and q
the cold, putin a box and placed by the a
stove, where he was viewed by hun- J
dreds of Columbians. About 8 o'clock ^
tonight all the torpidity disappeared g
from the snake, owing to the heat in
the room. He escaped from the box
and for about half an hour owned the
office. Editors were perched on desks,
reporters climbed partitions and everybody
sought places of refuge, while
his snakeship paraded from one room
to the other. An ex-snake charmer,
who happened to be in the city, as a ;
relic of the state fair, brought relief
to the office by chloroforming the var- t
mint. The suake is a boa constrictor, J
nearly 14 feet long and weighing con- J
siderably over 100 pounds. The agil- r(
ity developed by the editorial staff is a
said to have been amazing. J?

Protect
Your Homes!
[X the three words above is, I think,
really an unnecessary command, for
iy the very nature of things, it is the
iinate purpose of every living creature,
iven unto the fowls of the air, to protect
heir homes from all kinds of trespassers
nd destroying elements. Through a
houghtless notion of economy though,
here are many men of today who are
Mowing their otherwise fine and handome
homes to go to ruin for the lack of a
oat or two of paint, when by its appliation
the house will be beautified and
ts exterior protected from the never reanting
destroying atmospheric elements,
'aint is cheaper than weatherboarding
nd yet by applying the paint you increase
he life of the weatberboarding almost inlefinitely.
MASURY'S RAILROAD
'AINT IS THE BEST.
IT WON'T SCALE.
IT WON'T CRACK!
IT WON'T PEEL OFF.
There are thousands of paints that are
nferior to MASURY'S; but not one su>erior.
When you paint your buildings,
use the best. I have had years of experience
and it teaches me that MASURY'S
s my mascot. Sold at 81.25 a gallon; the

DO YOU EAT CORN BREAD ?
WE know there are a few people who
buy Corn Meal for cow, horse, pig
and chickeus; but not for their own consumption.
Of course it makes no difference
to the aforesaid cow, horse, pig and
chickens if the meal is made of yaller^'
or mixed corn, or is a little musty and
ground too fine, or coarse. We also know
there are some people who do eat corn
bread, muffins, pone, mush, etc., and
they know as well as we that the quality
and palatableness of the bread, mush,
etc., depends a good deal on the quality
of the meal. Recognizing this fact, we
have arranged to handle meal made of
selected White Corn and ground on a
mill OPERATED BY WATER. We
have our first lot. Try it. You will be
pleased. Price, 60 cents a bushel.
WE DO NOT CLAIM
To be farmers and we have no commission
which authorizes us to tell the farmer
how to conduct his affairs, and we
don't intend to appear meddlesome or
anything of that kind ; but we are satisfied
that if 100,000 acres of ground is broken
in York county during the next 60
days the return to the farmers will amount
to $500,000 in the way of saving time next
spring and increasing the products, and
every acre of laud should be broken with
Oliver Plows, because they will do better
work, do it easier and more economically
than any plow on the market. We are
sole agents for the Oliver plow, but you
can buy one of us just as cheap as if there
were a dozen agents in the county.

^STUDY?WORK.
1898 has knocked and the door
of the future has been opened
unto it, and as to what it shall be
is a matter entirely with us?-just
what we make it. Plan with
your brain and work with your
hands. . Work intelligently and
work persistently and all will be
well. We have settled down to
hard work and are now ready for
business. We have a complete
line of the best and most select
Fancy and Family Groceries together
with all kinds of Plantations
Supplies, and in a few days
expect to make contracts for our
annual supply of fertilizers. In
the meantime we solicit the patronage
of all trustworthy and reliable
customers. Recognizing
the fact that there are others
catering to the same kind of
trade as ourselves, and desiring
to be charitable toward them, we
refrain from quoting prices at
this time; but will leave that to
you for investigation.
Everybody recognizes us as
headquarters for fine Flour, and
no one can beat us on Shingles
or Laths.

"Happy New Year to All."
It would be a gross dereliction
of duty, should I fail to
acknowledge mv gratitude
to the great legion of friends
who have expressed their
confidence in me by practical
example at my counters
during 1897, which contributed
so largely to my
support in maintaining my
position on the Watchtower
of Fashion, and with
what ease it was done can
only be determined by an
appreciating and discrimina- .
ting public.
As to the mysteries of the
future I can say nothing;
but so far as lies in my power,
no obstacles shall come
in the way to merit your patronage
and retain your confidence
in the future. Again
thanking you for your patronage
for 1897, I wish you
all a happy New Year, attended
with unbounded prosperity
for 1898.
