Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, August 23, 1899, Image 3
leaving out last week, there has no
been nearly so much liquor at Tirzat
since the removal of the dispensary a:
there was before. He also observet
that people who use liquor on such oc
casions recognized the fact that un
less they took their supplies with them
the "creature" would be scarce. As i
matter of fact, however, it is said thai
the tigers did an unusually flourishing
business. Hundreds of pints and bal
pints were sold.
A Mistake of Ten Per Cent.
The statement telegraphed fronc
Yorkville to the effect that the Clovei
Cotton mill had declared a dividend o:
41 per cent, on the business of tbe
past year, was incorrect. The Enquirer
tried to verify the statement
before re-publisbing it; but was unable
to do so. The dividend was 31
instead of 41 per cent., and of this 6
per cent, was payable in cash. Tbe
Clover mill was not responsible for the
original statement. Neither is it responsible
for this; but this is correct.
Old Crop Reduced Low.
The reporter undertook on yesterday
to get from local cotton dealers an
estimate of the probable number of
bales of old cotton still in the bands
of the farmers of York county. Opinion
was pretty unanimous to the effect
that there is not much cotton in the
country. Some few farmers still have
their entire crops; but the most liberal
estimate secured was 350 bales
for the entire county. Several pretty
good sized lots, including 300 bales or
more, have been sold within the past
week.
These Win Scholarships.
Superintendent of Education Car
roll has been advised as to the names
of the young ladies who are entitled
to the three Winthrop scholarships apportioned
to York county. They are
Misses Maude Martin, of Harmony ;
Mary McCall, of Yorkville ; and Jessie
W. Black, of Guthriesville. The examination,
it will be remembered, was
under the supervision of the county
board of education. The different papers,
however, were graded under the
supervision of the Winthrop authorities.
Rock Bill's First Bale.
Rock Hill Herald, Saturday: Mr.
Sam A. Fewell sold on our market
Wednesday the first bale of cotton of
the new crop received here. It weighed
592 pounds, classed good middling,
and was bought by Mr. Ed Fewell at
7 cents. The same day two additional
bales of new cotton were sold here?
one by Mr. T. B. Whitesides, of Edgmoor.
Its weight was 549 pound ; its
class strict middling. Mr. Ed. Fewell
paid him 5} cents for it. The other
was sold by Mr. A. A. Barron, of
Ebenezer, also to Mr. Ed. Fewell. It
weighed 539 pounds, classed good
middling and brought 5f cents.
Booming Upward.
There is another flurry going on in
the cotton market. January futures
closed at 6.15 in New York Monday
afternoon and opened yesterday morning
at 6.30, a gain of 39 points since
the close of last Saturday. Up to the
hour this issue of The Enquirer
went to press there was no information
of another downward tendency.
Local cotton men are unable to assign
any reason other than dry weather for
the increasing strength of the market.
m They think that news of general rains
would cause a reactiou. It is possible
that the rise may be due to a growing
disbelief in Neill's 12,000,000 bales
prediction.
Bullock'n Creek Picnic.
There were about 400 people at the
Bullock's Creek picnic last Saturday,
consisting of representatives from all
parts of the township. Speeches were
made by Messrs. Finley, Parish, McDow
and Cansler. Mr. Finley spoke
on social topics generally, and made a
brief reference to politics. Mr. Parish
made a pleasaut talk without any particular
text, aud Mr. McDow devoted
himself principally tO the road question,
in which the Bullock's Creek
township people are now very much
interested. Mr. Cansler had his usual
' r\f fKo AtKar cnaotf.
iuu at tue eipcusc ui iuc viuvi
ers. Afler the speaking there wa9 au
abundance of good dinuer, not only
for those who had baskets ; but foi
those who did not have tbein. The
visitors all say that the picnic was a
very enjoyable affair; in fact, one ol
the most delightful they have attended
this season.
Meant* Grass.
It was plainly stated in the article
in the last issue of The Enquirer
describing the wonderful developmen!
of 50 acres of bottom laud by Mr. C
Henry Smith, that there was no at
tempt to tell half the story. There
was one point of interest to all pro
gressive farmers that was not ever
mentioned. Among good farmers gen
erally there is a wide difference o
opinion as to whether Means grass i:
a profitable institution or a nuisance
Some consider the grass as a most wel
come voluuteer, and others have as
little patience with it as they hav<
with wire grass. Mr. Smith consider:
** "" /vT Kio Koct ffiotlltc
Means grass as uuc ui mo
aud so treats it. If left uncultivated
his entire bottoms would be coveret
with this grass by the time early corr
is expected to be up. It grows every
where most luxuriautly; but Mr
Smith keeps it thoroughly under con
trol. He seldom sends a hoe iuto his
coru crop ; but does his cultivation al
most entirely with an adaptation o:
the Boy Dixie plow, that is an inventioi
of his own. In all his 40 acres of cori
there is hardly to be seen a blade o
Means or other grass. But along tin
creek bank, on either side, there is i
t strip of from 40 to 50 feet. This has
) already been mowed twice this season,
3 and is nearly ready for another mow1
ing. Each mowing yields a large
- quantity of hay, and in Mr. Smith's
- opinion there is no better hay to be
, had from any other grass in this couni
try. Means grass, he says, may be
t converted into good hay at almost any
; stage, provided it is not allowed to
f grow too old and tough. He says
that with proper means no other grass
is more easily controlled, and it is
??ooioot s>nnfirienne he looks
I WILLI LUC gi tttfcvov
r upon it as a beneficent blessing rather
f than as an unrulely master.

what course he will pursue, but he
will give the matter immediate attention.
J After the Guilty.
The lawabiding citizenship of Greenwood
county is determined to put au
end to the terrorizing of the Negroes
in that section by depraved, brutal
whites. A Dublic meeting was held at
Mount Moriah church, five miles from
Greenwood, last Friday, and the Negroes
from the surrounding couutry
were called in as witnesses. They
were induced to tell all they knew,
with a guarantee that they would be
fully protected. Some of them told .
blood-curdling tales of criminal assault
of Negro women at the hands of ruftianly
whites, and to whippings adi
ministered to inoffensive men. The
meeting was convinced that the stories
told were true. In some cases the Negroes
gave names of guilty whites,
1 and in others they were uuablc to give
out such information. The lawabiding
whites are determiued that the guilty
. parties shall be punished to the full extent
of the law, and that peace shall
be restored throughout the county. .
Murder or Suicide.
The Fort Lawn, Chester county correspondent
of the Columbia State, tells
of a horrible trugedy that occurred at
that place last week. On Thursday
morning the wife of S. W. Keep was
found dead in bed. She had been
, shot through the head, and a parlor
rifle lying beside her suggested a case
of suicide The husband was unable
to give satisfactory particulars, and on
accouut of certain suspicious circum
stances that had existed previously,
the neighbors arrived at the conclu,
sion that the situation was uot exactly
as he described. Further investii.
tion developed more excitement, and
r finally the people were almost in a
humor for a lynching party. Reep
was arrested and sent to jail at Chester:
It is believed that he had formed
, a criminal iutimacy with another woman,
and that the two were accom'
plices in the murder of Mrs. Reep.
' As to whether the murder of Mrs.
Reep was committed by Reep or his
partner is a matter of doubt. In fact
; it is also a matter of doubt as to
. whether any murder was committed
| at all. But still the case is a most
horrible one, aud the Fort Lawn people
are determined to probe it to the
f bottom.
' Fuitli Cure In Darlington.
Darlington special to The News and
Courier : Much space aud large "scare
j neaus nave neen given 10 a receni
> very unfortunate occurrence here, the
} death of Roberta Lide, 12-year-old
daughter of Mr. aud Mrs. James H.
' Lide, now of Darlington. The facts
? are that the mother of the child re1
fused to have any physician iu atteudi
ance upon her little daughter, who
. was critically ill with typhoid fever,
nor would she give it any medicine.
The mother looked for the child's restoration
to health as a result entirely
3 of her faith in God, aud until the very
- last she resolutely adhered so this conf
viction. Death did not shake her
, faith, nor could any persuasion alter
j her determination. Mr. and Mrs. Lide
moved to Darlington about four years
ago aud are highly thought of by the
? entire commuuity. The publicity
i which lias been given to the uufortunI
ate occurrence here referred to is al
true, only a very important aspect o
the case has been omitted. Your cor
respondent is quite sure that this omis
sion was unintentional; but it is dui
this misguided and afflicted father ant
mother that just a little more shoult
be said concerning the sad death o
their lovely little daughter. For somi
reason, which your correspondent fail1
to understand, this case was taken u]
by the coroner. What bearing an]
ktr o onrAnor'a 1II rmiorh
YC/IUIUV WJ W WIVUVI V J?? J ?
have, or what results would follow
such actioD, are also unknown to youi
correspondent. A coroner's jury wai
empanelled, however, and a verdici
was rendered to the effect that "th?
child came to its death from causes
unknown to the jury." A minoritj
report, signed by the jurors who musi
have been most anxious to exercise th<
privileges of such an unusual occasion
was presented, which stated thai
"death resulted from criminal negleci
of parents." After this action, whict
is a strong reminder of the famous
journey of the king of France, whet
he "marched up the hill and ther
marched down again," the funera
procession was allowed to proceed tc
the grave. The following testimony,
which was given at the coroner's in
quest by the Rev. R. W. Lide, pastoi
of the First Baptist church here, will
be of interest. He said that neithei
of the members of Mr. James H. Lide's
family were members of his church
but that they all worshipped there and
that the little girl who died was of his
Sunday school; that he visited them
daily as pastor, and sometimes twice a
day, during the girl's sickness; that he
never witnessed such absolute devotion
of a mother to a child as was displayed
by Mrs. Lide ; she did everything possible
for the child except to give hei
medicine. When I first called after
the child was taken sick, I saw that
she was extremely ill, and I suggested
to Mrs. Lide that she should call a
doctor and administer physics. She
said that she "could not conscientiously
give medicine." The mother used
aisinrecianis id iuh ruum uuu uocu
every means to prevent the spread ol
the disease. The body was bathed
frequently in an effort to reduce the
temperature. Witness does not agree
with Mr. and Mrs. Lide in the matter
of "faith curebut is a strong believer
in the use of medicines. In reply
to a question by the coroner witness
said that the parents got their
idea of "faith cure" from that passage
in James which reads: "Is any sick
among you? Let him call for the
elders of the Church, and let them
pray over him, annointing him with
oil in the name of the Lord ; and
the prayer of faith shall save the
sick, and the Lord shall raise him up."
Mrs. Lide annointed the sick girl with
oil. In reply to a question from Juror
Henuig, the witness said that Mr. Lide
is very distantly related to witness,
but Mrs. Lide not at all; that there
was no congeniality existing between
them on account of their peculiar belief.
The child had been sick a week
or more before witness heard of it,
He thought that Mrs. Lide was entirely
honest in her belief and practice,
While the community is much wrou ht
up over this sad case, there is not
wanting with all thoughtful ones that
tender sympathy, which goes to all,
however misguided they may be, in
such sore affliction.

AUGUST
SALE.
We would have you to under.
stand that I, (H. C. STRAUSS)
for the month of August, if the
[ goods advertised hold out, will
be cut in price "wid de blade
what we carried in de trade display"
on Gaffney Day, in gala
week. We, I, or us, have, or has
. no patience with penknife price
; cutting at this season of the year;
and since there can be no artistic
trimming wid our Damascus
f blade, we will whack away at
l just any old place on summer
goods named below, of course
. first mutilating our prices on
Men's Summer Coats at the cut
rates mentioned below :
Men's Seersuckers, worth 50
cents. Our blade struck 'em in
t the middle and the whole stack
of coats go at 25 cents.
3 The blade cut 10 cents off our
linen coats and they go now at
40 cents.
The reckless handling of this
- big sword went a little too far
. over and clipped 15 cents off our
50 cents Satine coats and left
1 them to go at 35 cents.
Linen or Crash suits caught
, the blade and they go at from
j $1.10 up to $2.50. The Alpaca
Coat and Vest department had a 1
' regular "cake walk row" with |
the blade, and the prices were so
[ mutilated that the bargain hun- 1
ter cannot afford to parley. We
I don't care who gets them.
Allwool square cut double
breasted Blue Serge coats worth
r $5.00, for $3.50 is what the blade
says.

The mutual benefit life
INSURANCE COMPANY, of Newirk,
N. J., pays dividends to its policy
lolders. It pays them annually and
hey are larger than those paid by any
ife insurance company in the United
States. It paid them in 1846 and it pays
;bem in 1899. Policy No. .'10,074 was issued
in 1865. It was a twenty payment
Life for $5,000. The age of the insured
was 30 years. The contract premium was
1163.70. Dividends were allowed in reactions
of premiums ANNUALLY,
rbe last payment was made in 1884. Contract
premiums for 20 years $1,274. The
dividends on the policy to date aggrejate
$1,657. making the actual cost for

which the insured can get on demand, or
be can borrow that sum from the company
at a low rate of interest with his polijy
as collateral. He will continue to re:eive
dividends annually during the remainder
of his life. This policy is not
selected in making the foregoing illustration
because it was specially favorable,
ft is only an average. There have been
thousands that have made equally as good
showing and many have done 33 per cent,
better. I know I am prepared to write
insurance that will grow in favor with the
insured as age increases. See me about
particulars. SAM M. GRIST* Agent.
