Fine Yield of Oat*. /
One hundred and seventy-one bushels
of threshed oats from four acres
of ground Is the record made by Mr.
E. M. Williams on the McLain place
out near the York Cotton mill this
year. The oats were put in last fall
with a drill, along with about 200
pounds of acid to the acre. The opinion
has been expressed by several intelligent
farmers that had the oats
been sown broadcast and plowed in
without manure the yield would not
have exceeded 75 bushels. ?
The Glanders Situation.
Dr. Nesom, the state veterinary surgeon
has been back to the county during
the week. He was at Tirzah on
Tuesday and ordered the slaughter of
another mule and two more horses on
the Massey plantation. This makes
five animals in all that have been
slaughtered on the place. Several oth-ers
are still under quarantine. From
t Tirzah Dr. Nesom came to Yorkville to
I look further into the situation here;
hut found no new developments that
seemed to require attention. While
here he received a call from Fort Mill;
hut at the same time got information
of illness in his family at Clemson college,
and had to leave for home. It was
his intention, when he left Wednesday
morning, to return to Fort Mill as soon
as he can arrange to do so, and he expects
to come back to Yorkville next
week. Thre are other cases under suspicion
here.

Suicide at Blacksburg;.
Blacksburg special of Wednesday to
"the Charlotte Observer: C. L. Kingsley,
a civil engineer, committed suicide at
his rooms here in the Iron City hotel,
this afternoon about 4 o'clock, by taking
an overdose of laudanum. He left
a note with $25 to Frank Moore, an
undertaker, with instructions for his
burial. He asked to be burled in the
cheapest coffin ne had and at night,
when no one was around, four Negroes
to be employed to carry his body to
the grave and each to be paid $1. He
also asked in his note that no preachers
be permitted to be present at his
burial. In this note, he also requested
Mr. Moore to tell his wife that she
would find some money in his trunk
and the keys to the trunk in the place
whprf thev usuallv keDt the front door
key. Mrs. Kingsley was absent, visiting
friends at Gaffney. Mr. Kingsley
has been a resident of this place for a
number of years. He was a civil engineer
by profession, well educated and
a man far above the average in intelligence,
but would get on an occasional
:spree. He is supposed, however, to
have been sober when ne committed
this act. In his note he stated that
his father's family had recently moved
to California and could not reach here
if they desired to. But little, if anything,
is known of Mr. Kingsley's people,
but it is generally supposed they
resided at Raleigh and that he came
from there to this place as an engineer
on the Augusta division of the old
Charleston, Cincinnati and Chicago
.railroad.
Death of Mm. IIrlet*.
Associate Reformed Presbyterian,
"Thursday: For some weeks Mrs. Brice
has been critically ill. About a month
ago her children were summoned, but
.she rallied somewhat. Last Friday she
became unconscious and took no nourishment
after Sabbath morning. She
quietly passed away Tuesday, July 9,
at 11 a. m. She was 72 years old the
.21st of May. Mrs. Anna Maria Steele
Brice was the daughter of Rev. John
* .Steele. She was born in Xenia, Ohio,
and was educated at Washington sem.inary,
Washington, Pa., which was
then under the care of Mrs. Dr. Hanna.
On March 19, 1850, she was married
to Rev. R. W. Brice and to him she was
.a helpmeet indeed. She was the mother
ten children, seven of whom survive
Jier, namely, Mrs. J. M. Caldwell, Mr.
_A. G. Brice, Miss Leila, J. Steele Brice,
Mrs. Fannie McCaw, Mrs. J. W. Baird,
and Mrs. John P. Knox. Mrs. J. C.
Galloway, Miss Maggie and Robert H.
Brice having died some years ago. Mrs.
Brice!s married life was spent in the
bounds or nopewen congregation in
Chester county, of which her husband
was pastor. After his death she removed
to Due West to educate her
children. She had the pleasure of graduating
all of her children in our colleges.
Mrs. Brice was a noble woman.
She had an unusually fine mind, inheriting
her intellectual gifts from both
her father and her mother. They were
no ordinary people, her father'was a
scholarly man and her mother had rare
intellectual attainments. There was no
more gifted woman in our church than
Mrs. Brice. She was a most goodly woman.
In her the graces were well developed.
Her piety was known and
recognized by all. The Scriptures were
her daily delight. She searched them,
was familiar with them and understood
them. She loved the church and
was remarkably regular in her attendance
upon all the services of God's
house. She was so attached to Hopewell
that she retained her membership
there until the day of her death, yet her
interest in the Due West congregation
was unflagging. She was a teacher in
i
our Sabbath school, a liberal giver to
our work, and was always present at
j our services. From her we always received
sympathy and encouragement
in our work as pastor, and in her home
we were often refreshed. She was
thoroughly informed about the workings
of the church at large. She knew
most of our ministers, was acquainted
somewhat with the congregations and
kept in close touch with the actions of
the presbyteries and the synod. She
rejoiced in the prosperity of Zion and
faithfully did her part in the Church's
work. She looked well after the interests
of her household. Her life and
character are revealed in her children.
They were her joy and her pride. Her
body will be taken to Chester on Wednesday
and on Thursday she will be
laid away in the cemetery at Hopewell
by the side of her husband to wnom
sne was so devoted, and whose memory
she held so sacred. Everybody in Due
West loved Mrs. Brice and the same
was true wherever she was known. All
over the Church there will be sincere
sorrow at the death of this good woman.

FIRE INSURANCE.
THE man who does not insure his
property against loss by fire, certainly
takes no thought of tomorrow.
He lives on with the feeling, "Well, I
never have had a fire, and I don't expect
to have a fire, and there is no use
for me to carry insurance." Such people
sometimes awaken in the dead
hours of the night to find their property
going up in the air in flames, but it
is too late then. He can only say, "I
wish I had." The wise man will insure
today, the cost is trifling as compared
with the protection. Insure today.
and place your insurance with me,
where you will be protected by companies
who will cheerfully pay your
loss if you are burned out. I represent
strong companies that are strong
enough to protect you against loss by
fire.
