to both, and Magistrate Plaxico sent
both to Yorkville.
The sentence of Childers was $14
fine or 30 days ou the cbaingang; and
that of Feemster $7.50 fine or 15 days
ou the cbaingang. Friends of Cbilk
dera got up the money with wbfch to
pay his fine, and on Wednesday he
was released from custody. Feemster
I
was sent to the cbaingang to serve out
bis segtence ou tbe road.
The uuderstaodiog ou Wednesday
was that tbe Bullock's Creek people
? are not yet through with Childers.
They are thoroughly sick and tired of
his presence in the community, and
they want to get rid of him. There
are several other charges agaiost him,
and it is probable that these will be
pushed one after tbe oiher until he is
ready to move.
THE BLIND TIGERS.
Constable Scoggins has been about
Yorkville for several days this week
looking after his duties relating to tbe
enforcement of tbe dispensary law.
Tbe reporter bad a talk with him with
regard to the status of matters generally.
While it is a fact that there is still a
great deal of blind tiger whisky sold
in and around Yorkville, and while it
is a fact also that with. sufficent perseverence,
any individual who has the
cash can raise a pint of blind tiger
liquor upon almost any occasion, it is
also a fact that tbe traffic is not nearly
so extensive as it was a few years back.
This condition is owing partly to the
fact that the demand is less than it
U9ed to be?there being fewer thirsty
people?and partly to the fact that the
tigers have learned to be more cautious.
The reporter is not to be un derstood
as- saying that the illicit
whisky traffic has been entirely suppressed,
nor that there are not still
to be found occasional instances of excessive
drinking; but it is a fact that
the improvement in the observance of
the law is quite noticeable.
Constable Scoggins gets pretty general
credit for being a very efficient officer?the
most efficient probably who
has ever been located in this county.
He has help about Yorkville, good
^ help ; but that does not detract in the
least from bis efficiency. In conversation
with the reporter, he said :
"It used to be the' habit of the blind
tigers to go up to the still bouse during
the day and return shortly after nightfall.
I began watching the road for
M them until I broke the habit up, and
thpv phanired their schedule 80 as to
briug them back into Yorkville duriug
the early hours of the morning. I
met this change also, and now they arrange
it so as to make the entire trip
in the daytime?that is, those who
. make it a business to briug their liquor
r through the country. I have been
watching these until I have gotten
pretty nearly all the tigers spotted,
and some of them have reason to be
scared."
"But it is not only the highways
^ that have to be watched. One of the
? most constant and regular sources of
supply is the express offices. It is
more difficult to spot a tiger here than
on the road. Of course, there is no
doubt about the fact that about 75
per cent of the liquor that comes here
by express is for tiger purposes ; but
the tigers are cautious. For iuslance,
two or three of them will get together
and make an order for several gallons
iu the name of one. Then, after
awhile, they will make another order
in the name of another, and then
make uew combinations and continue
* 1 ^ * AtiAiiirh t A QI1U

peet what liquor is for tiger purposes
and what is for personal use; hut the
difficulty comes in proving it. Gut
this will come after awhile. I don't
mind telling you what I have told already,
but there are somethings you
know that are better when one keeps
them to himself."
At the same rate of progress that
has been made during the past three
or four years, in three or four years
more, Yorkville will iudeed he a pretty
dry town.
LOCAL LACONICS.
He Meant "Money."
"There is no use in talking about it,"
remarked a well-known citizen a fewdays
ago, "the only material with
which substantial roads can be built in
this country is 'rocks.' "
Getting Brighter.
There have been a few sunshiny
days this week that have helped to indicate
that business is not entirely
dead. The past six weeks, however,
have been very tryiug generally.
Direct With Gastonla.
Gazette : The Gastonia Telephone [
^ company completed connections yesterday
with Yorkville, having now a
direct line with no other 'phones on it.
By next week the company will he
prepared to give its patrons facilities
for private conversations.
Fixed Up ilaudgoiueiy.
Dr. Cartwright has gotten his dental
office fixed up in handsome style now.
His quarters consist of three rooms,
viz.: Operating room, laboratory and
waiting parlor. "I have always told
you," remarked the doctor to the reporter
on Wednesday, "that I would
fix myself up right if I ever got the
room."
Machinery Being Placed.
Mr. T. B. McClain continues to receive
shipments of cottou mill machinery
every few days, aud is busy getting
it in position. He has already
completed arrangements for the installation
of bis electric light plant.
The town council has not seen its way
clear to make any contract for lighting
the town by electricity ; but Mr. Mc t
Clain has not been allowing himself to t
be worried by little matters like that, s
Rather Active Old Age. I
The reporter was told a few days g
ago of an old lady down in Bullock's t
Creek township?Mrs. Jane Miller? c
who is more than 80 years of age, and g
who during the past few years has I
pieced for her grand children 30 quilts, c
Fifteen of the quilts were made from 8
pieces no larger than the ball of her i
thumb. The work is done with neatness
and artistic taste. 1
Should Have Called on the Ladies. 8
An old Confederate who is not satis- r
fied with the progress that has been a
made so far in the collection of con- f
tributions in behalf of the Confederate i
reunion in Charleston, claims that \
Judge Witberspoon made a mistake in s
calling upon the men for help in the t
matter. He thinks that the judge t
should have called upon the ladies, for J
whenever a duty of this or any other I
kind is devolved upon the ladies, they r
always acquit themselves creditably. ?
Prices In 1845. U
Mr. H. H. Beard has banded the re- j
porter an old uccount of the late James |{
Jefferys against "Doctor McClurkeu," g
and which contains the follow item : s
"June 15, 1845. To 40 pounds of beef ^
at 3 cents, $1.20." The reporter's first ^
impression was that the beef must have j
been "by the quarter;" but upon in- g
quiry of men who can remember back j
to those days, it develops that from 2J ^
to 3J cents was the regular price for ^
beef at retail. 0

The Chaloeang In Bethel. ?
The chaingang is now up in Bethel
township, the prisoners beiug quarter- c
ed in an old house about a mile to the 1
east of Clay Hill. Superintendent 1
Culp said, on Weduesday, that the location
was good and the quarters quite 8
comfortable. There is some work to c
be done on the approaches to Beaver 1
Dam creek, on the Charlotte road, J
aud also at Plaxico's mill. It is tin- j
derstood that the plant will continue t
to operate in Bethel township, and j
probably in this particnlar section, for j
not less than three months.
The Farmen' Mutual.
It will be of interest to a great many J
people in York county to know that
the following is among the acts that *
were passed and ratified by the recent [
general assembly : "An act to amend t
sections 3, 4, and 5 of an act entitled t
'An act to incorporate the Farmers' r
Mutual Insurance company, of York
county, S. C.,' approved 21st December,
1894, to empower said company j
to make assessments in anticipation of a
losses and increasing the power of the F
board of directors. ^

Prospecting: Potato Bugs.
Gastonia Gazette : We fear that Mr. ?
Oliver Davis's remedy of hangiug a s
thermometer on the clothes line to kill a
out the potato bugs will fail this year, n
In times past we have read of the for- v
warduess of these voracious pests iu 11
sitting on the clods and watching for 1
the potatoes to come up ; but this year '
they are reported to be ahead of that. ?
A gentleman told us in Dallas, Mou- e
day, that when he went to the store to I
get his seed potatoes the bugs were 1
there looking over the merchaul's j;
books to see who had bought.
Agent at Gastonia. \
The Gazette: "Who-will be your t
new agent at Gastonia ?'' asked The t
Gazette Monday night of President 1
Harper, of tlie Carolina aud North- c
Western. "Have you made the selectionyet?"
"No," answered the presi- t
dent readily, "we have doue nothiug i
at all in the matter." "Is it likely
that you will get an outside mau or (
promote one now with you ?" we ask- 1
ed. "We prefer to promote one of our "
own men, whenever we can make it t
suitable to do so." The bad weather t
has greatly retarded their work ; but t
the company hopes to get iuto its new 1
depot by the opening of spring.
The Catawba Mine.
King's Mountain Reformer: This
viciuity will regret to learn that all {
the pumps at the Catawba mine have <
been drawn and the active work shut i
down. We are informed that for some- t
time now, as soon as the weather per- (
units, there will be some prospecting '
done with a diamoud drill at or near \
the old Richardson shaft, and we hope (
the company will be successful in fiud- ]
ing a sufficiency of ore to justify a re- '
turu to active operations. Little as j
some people may thiuk of it, this shut- ^
off will inconvenience a goodly num- c
her of hauds and make it hard for ]
them to earn their daily bread. (
The Actual FactH. I
The Enquirer has heard during i
the past few days several alarming re- 1
ports about the condition of the Char- 1
lotteroad. One of them was to the effect
that as the result of the receut snow, |
the clay bed bad become saturated
with water and rendered soft and <
slushy, aud that the macadam work
was cutting through under heavy wagons.
We have had no opportunity to
make a personal investigation ; but
have made careful inquiries of reponsihie
parties, and it seems that the situation
just described is very much exaggerated.
There has been some cutting
hrough, or almost through, the macidam
in a few spots; but this damige
is not at all general. Further- :
nore there has as yet been no damr
tge that cannot be easily repaired. If
he matter is' neglected, of course, the
lamage will increase ; but the undertanding
on Thursday was that Mr.
il. L. Thomasson was to at once call
>ut the road bands and make all necesary
repairs.
tog Stealing. ,
There are a great many people who i
ook upon dog stealing as not much of
l crime. Of course, the theft of a
log involves as much moral depravity
is the theft of a dollar?the ouly difference
is that the'dog thief runs less
isk of detection. Very ofieu an advertisement
is the ouly means by
vhich the owner of a stolen dog can
tope to recover the animal, aDd even
his does not always prove successful.
I month or two ago Mr. James L. (
doss advertised a lost dog. He heard i
lothing uutil several weeks afterward,
md then he learned positively that the
mimal was being held by parties in ,
Tort Mill township in the hope of a
arge reward. Sometime back be* had
;otten evidence that was pretty uearly '
uflicient to enable him to make trou- (
>Ie for the thief. The dog advertised ,
iy Mr. Hosea Norman, last Wedneslay,
was not supposed to have been
tolen. He had gotton it from Shelby,
if. C., and bis theory was that it bad
trobably goue back home. He hoped,
>y means of the advertisement, to
vertake and protect it on the road. ,
Jut this dog might also have been i
tolen just like that of Mr. Moss, aud j
logs are often being stolen iu this secion?iu
the hope of a reward.
MOKE MEN FOR OTIS.
'he Situation In Manila Grows Still More
Serious.
The war department has arrauged
o dispatch further reinforcemeuts to
General Otis at Manila, says a Wash- \
ug dispatch of Thursday afternoon. J
The regiments selected are the Ninth
nfantry, now at New York, and the
sixth infantry, at San Antonio, Texas.
Both these regiments will go by way
if San Francisco. It is expected that
he transports taking them will be able
o leave by March 15.
By that date General Otis will have
eceived all the reinforcements now J
ifloat and bound for Manila save those
>u the Sheridan, which sailed from ;
STew York last Sunday. This will give
urn 6,000 more troops, made up of the
Jnited States army; regulars tried iu
ndian service and most of them inured
o the Cubau climate iu its worst as>ects,
having participated iu the cam)aigns
there during the last wet season.
Every report that comes to the war ;
lepartment goes to convince the offi- ;
:ials that an offensive campaign must !
?e immediately assumed in the Philip- 1
dues. This is no longer a matter of '
ihoice, but of necessity against which i
he officials say sentimental considera- i
ions caunot stand. In their opinion
he lives and health of American troops
tow in the neighborhood of Manila :
lepend upon the initiation of such a
campaign.
General Otis's report of a big fire iu
tlauila yesterday and last night, while
igreeing closely with the press dismtches,
makes mention of a rather
ormidable demonstration by the iusur- ,
;eants near Caloocan, the scene of
ome of the heaviest fighting succeed- '
ng the first engagement with the in- j
urgents on the 15th. This is taken j
is an indication that the rebels have 1
lot yet been thoroughly impressed !
vith the strength of the American ,
irms. A disquieting feature noted in i
he press reports is the presence of 1
mall bodies of armed insurgents '
vithin the American outposts, possibly
.n evidence that our lines are too far
xtended and too thin around Manila,
t is realized that it will be necessary
o sweep the country of all hostile
dements. The task will be difficult
lecause because of the resemblauce of
he Filipinos to one another, which
vould make it hard to distinguish be- "
ween a non-combatant aud an out and
?ut rebel. Some time there is no such
lisliuclion, the one resolving iulo the j
>ther at short notice, for it is patent ,
low that tbe Filipinos caunol be count- 1
id upon to observe the rules of war '
ind must be fought on the same basis ,
is Indians. <
A most serious problem confronts ?
5eneral Otis in tbe protection of Ma- J
lila and tbe suburban towns from fire,
lot only because of the treacherous i
ibaracter of the rebel Filipinos ; but j
ilso because outside of the business
jstablishments the houses are built of
he flimsiest bamboo buug with mating
screens.

222 Years For Its Value !
THE recent legislature, iu a grand-stand
play to the "peanut gallery," assumed '
to believe, and would have the galleryites j
believe with them, that the tire insurance jn'
companies doing business throughout the ]
world are one gigantic trust, to extort jjU
money from "their" constituents without
in any way giving value to those who patronize
them. It is recognized by lire J0]
insurance companies that the private i(),
dwelling hasn't as much physical risk tw
about it as has a cotton gin. on h uomcued
dwelling in Yorkville, for instance,
the cost of insurance on $1,000 risk for one
year is $7.50; for three years $15.00, and for
live-year policies you get this protection Ol
lor $22.5U, or $4.50 per annum for $1,000
protection, and it is possible for this
risk to become a claim any and every day
during the life of a policy; aud so it will T
be seen that at less thau U cents a day an I.
insurance company exposes $1,000 of its en
own money to risk for your protection. C(
for the term of eighteen hundred and th
twenty-five days at a total cost of $22.50! Tl
Is that extortion? Is that monopoly? R
Would you carry your neighbor's insurance
at ihat price? Would any member pe
of the legislature do it? It would require lh
about 222 j ears for the company to col- ce
lect $1,000 from the assured! It has been
intimated that some times individuals
cau tell when they will have a "fire; the ?
companies never can. In conclusion I
will say sensible people will always in- T
sure their property, and as a rule they X
know what quality to buy. ar

PLAIN FACTS.
SINCE taking charge of "THE YORK
DRUG STORE," we have added
several hundred dollars worth of the very
BEST AND PUREST DRUGS to the
already largest and most complete Drug
Stock in this section of the state, and have
made arrangements with several of the i
largest and most reliable wholesale drug
establisments in the country, by which
we can and will offer enticing inducements
to PHYSICIANS and DEALERS
injdrugsand pharmaceutical preparations.
It is our purpose to keep nothing in the
drug line that does not bear the stamp of
reliability, and our prices will be as low as
is consistent with the quality of goods offered
to the profession.
We keep on bands all the most popular
Patent and Proprietary medicines and
meet all competition in prices.
We sell Trusley's Guano, and it is made
for the farmer. Get our analysis and
prices before you buy. We sell Kainit

READY FOR BUSINESS.
MY stock of FAMILY GROCERIES
AND PLANTATION SUPPLIES
is full and complete, which stock consists
of every needed article of supplies
which can be used to advantage on a well
regulated farm. In a word I am fully
prepared to do busiuess, and it is my
purpose to utilize my PAST experience
in furthering my business interest,
and invite consultation with those who
expect and need assistance and business
accommodation in the production of their
crops of 1899. See me before making
your arrangements. No one can do more
iban to guarantee satisfaction at all times.
FERTILIZERS.
In the past I have taken an especial
pride in handling only the best HIGH
GRADE STANDARD FERTILIZERS,
the merits and popularity of which are
attested by the constantly increasing sales
as each successive season passes by, aud
although my. arrangements of the past
have been very satisfactory, they do not
iinmnomiuiih nrnnflnt arrangements, and
....... r - ,
I am now better prepared than ever to
quote prices on FERTILIZERS, and
since it is quite an important item with
most farmers, I am sure that it will be decidedly
against their interest to buy fertilizers
without first seeing me, for I
have taken the best advantage of the
lowest fluctuating prices and made contracts
accordingly.
TOBACCO AND SNUFFS
In boxes or by the pound, at wholesale
and retail, in all grades and at prices to
suit the taste and times and sympathize
fully with the low prices of ex-King
Cotton.
I also keep a full and complete stock
of the choicest Canned Gooas and the
most select Fancy Groceries at the lowest
prices consistent with the best quality.
