Jtumovous g f part men t. No Substitute. A well-known drummer for a large notion house tells the following humorous story, which is slightly at his own expense: "While in an up-state city not so very long ago, a theatrical company, which carried its own orchestra, put up at the hotel I was stopping at. In that orchestra was a trombone player who was a close friend and neighbor of mine in this city. He met me soon after his arrival, and*he had such a aowncasi iuuk mm i asiieu me lausc of his worriment. " 'To tell you the truth, Jim,' he said in a sorrowful voice, 'I'm in a heap of trouble. I'm engaged to marry a young lady in this town, and I rather foolishly promised to spend this evening at 'ier home, thinking that I could get a substitute to play for me; but I've searched the town over for a trombonist, and can't find one.' "A strange light kindled in tys eyes, and he burst into a laugh. 'Why, Jim," he said, 'you're just the man to take my place in the orchestra tonight. I know you'll do it to help me out.' " 'But I don't know the first thing about a tit mbone,' I answered. 'I doubt if I'd k low one if I saw it, unless it hi a lab'-l on it.* " 'Oi?, that's easy to get over,' replied the now jubilant trombonist. 'You see, I play second trombone, and all you will have to do is to follow the movements of the first trombone, puff out your cheeks, and keeps your eyes on the music.* "Well, it did seem easy, and to help him out, I consented and took my place in the orchestra that night as his substitute. I knew a little about music. I could bat out a few things on the piano; but a trombone and I didn't fit. The first number, as I saw by the music, was a selection from the 'Bohemian Girl.' I just knew enough about music to discover that down the first page a duet for trombones comes in. It was 'The Heart Bowed Down.' I might have whanged it out on a piano all right and although I was a little uneasy, I decided to follow instructions. "When I saw the leader make a pass at me with his baton, I got ready, and so did the other fellow. His cheeks puffed out like a bellows, and I saw him hesitate. The leader made another crack at me with the baton, and in order to appear wise I worked away on the trombone and the other fellow did the same. But not a sound was produced. "The leader, seeing that something was wrong, quickly passed the word, and 'The Heart Bowed Down* was cut out. I never saw a madder man in my life than the leader. It was all a mystery to me until after the show, when I learned that the first trombone had also had a date with a young lady and had sent a barber as a substitute, with instructions to follow the second trombone. We were both 'dummies,' but strange to relate the audience didn't catch on. When I see a trombone now I nearly have convulsions."?Philadelphia Evening: Telegraph. Whereabouts of the Dove.?Major Shattuck, of the signal corps, tells an amusing story of an oldtime "religious revival" meeting in a Negro church near Savannah. In order that the revival spirit might be quickened, it was arranged that the preacher should give a signal when he thought the excitement was highest, and from the attic through a hole cut in the ceiling directly over the pulpit, the sexton was to shove a pure white dove, whos-j flight around the church and over the heads of the audience was expected to have an inspiring effect, and as far as emotional excitement was concerned, to cap the climax. All went well at the start; the church was packed; the preacher's text was, "In the form of a dove," and as he piled up his eloquent periods the excitement was strong. Then the opportune moment arrived?the signal was given?and the packed audience was scared out of its wits on looking up to the ceiling and beholding a cat, with a clothesline around its middle, yowling and spitting, being lowered over the preacher's head. The preacher called to the sexton in the attic: "Whar's de dove?" And the sexton's voice came down through the opening so you could hear it a block: "Inside the cat!"?New York Tribune. Easy If You Know How.?Yes, Mark Twain did say that he thanked God he was not the inventor of the German language, said the Pennsylvania Dutchman. "And he also told a story of a Kentuckian who declared he would rather decline two drinks than one German noun. Both put the case in a pretty strong light. But that doesn't make any difference. Mark Twain is no authority along that line at all. German is not a difficult language. I ought to know. The pronunciation is easy. All you've got to do is to pronounce every letter, sound every vowel just right and get the words properly arranged into sentences. That is as easy as failing off a log. "No doubt you are right," said the American, "but I would like to hear an instance of the proper arrangement of words and sentences. I would probably understand the matter then." "Very well." said the Pennsylvania Dutchman, "here is an instance: "Daughter: Mother! A rat has into the milk fallen. "Mother: Have you it out taken?" "Daughter: No. but I have the cat in thrown. "Mother: That is right. The cat will the rat out bring."?Philadelphia Times. A lraiit Skxtbnck??A gentleman now living in New York tells the following story of a Negro in Tennessee whose son had been convicted of killing a fellow workman. A few days after the trial the father was asked what disposition had been made of the case. "Oh," he answered, "dey done send Johnson to jail for a monf." "That's a light sentence for killing a man. don't you think?" "Yes," answered the darky, "but at do end of de monf dey done goin* to hang Mm."?New York Times. IKiscrllanrouiS grading. FROM CONTEMPORARIES. Kew? and Comment That la of More or Leas Local Interest. YORK. Rock Hill Herald, October 22: Yesterday morning at 12.40 o'clock, just af-, ter the arrival of the first section of j freight No. 37 from Charlotte, Sesaly Rodman, a Negro who once lived here, was shot and killed by Mr. H. H. Lloyd, a flagman on the train. Rodman had been stealing a ride from Charlotte, and had been put off the train several times, and in the presence of several passengers he swore at Fort Mill that he would continue to ride on the train or kill the whole crew. At Rock Hill he was discovered on the rods under a car, and when Mr. Lloyd, the flagman, who was ordered by the conductor, attempted to arrest Rodman for the purpose of turning him over to the police, Rodman drew a pistol and raised his right arm to fire at the flagman, but the latter fired first, and his aim being good, the ball took effect under the upraised arm. Rodman fell and expired in a few minutes. Constable Wingate was notified and he held Lloyd and the train's crew to appear at a hearing, which was accorded yesterday morning before Magistrate Beckham, acting coroner, and the following jury: T. L. Johnston, foreman; E. W. Comer, C. W. Ballard, S. B. Carroll, J. T. Cameron, Wm. Wright, W. J. P. Wylie, W. J. Lesslie, W. G. Duncan, J. M. McFadden, R. E. Sadler, J. R. Barron. The jury, after a few minutes' deliberation, rendered a verdict "That Sesaly Rodman came to his death by a gunshot fired by the hand of H. H. Lloyd In self-defense, and we think, was fully justified." Upon the rendering of the verdict, Magistrate Beckham discharged Mr. Lloyd and the other members of the train's crew from custody, and they proceeded to Columbia with their train at 10.05 o'clock yesterday morning. Mr. Lloyd is from Macon, Ga., where he lived with his wife and one child. He has an honest face and is evidently a man of character and intelligence. He is a member of the Order of Railroad Conductors as also of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen. The Negro he killed is said to be a worthless fellow, being at the time of his arrest a fugitive from this city, a warrant here awaiting his arrest. Only last Friday night three houses in this city were searched for him, but he escaped and the first heard of him thereafter was when he was killed yesterday morning. Ogden furnished about thirty-five passengers on the train to Charlotte on last Saturday, about thirty of the num uer uemg mcgiwro. u^uu n.v.. that night some of the crowd, being very drunk, cut up considerably. One of the number, Milus Jordan, a Negro, who lives on Miss Jane Ratteree's place, took offence at some remark made by Mr. John Allen, and laid for a row, which was soon on, a number engaging in the fracus. Jordan, crazed by drink, pulled his knife and made a desperate lick at Mr. Allen, cutting him severely in the right side of the head. When the blade struck the skull it broke, else it is probable the wound would have been serious enough to kill. It was now Mr. Allen's time and he made eood use of it. hacking Jordan in a number of places and until he was rescued. A colored woman, Jane Crawford by name, was hit in the face by a rock thrown at Mr. Allen and a very painful wound was left. For a few minutes it seemed that a general row would result. The few whites that were there stood the thirty odd drunken Negroes well in hand, and several whose names we could not learn, havesore heads Henry Massey, colored, of Lesslie, was before Magistrate Beckham on Monday morning, being charged with beating his wife and with malicious mischief in having cut up his wife's dresses, some bed clothing and poured a can of kerosene oil into a half barrel of flour. He was adjudged guilty of both charges. The sentence for the first offence was a fine of $25 or 30 days on the chaingang; in the other, $40 fine or 30 days on the gang. Not paying up he was taken to the stockade and turned over to Supervisor Gordon Mr. S. D. Farris, of India Hook, was in Rock Hill last Sunday, and spent the day with his niece, Mrs. Wm. Mitchell. Mr. Farris is 84 years of age, and had not been in the city for nine years. He is quite youthful looking for a bachelor of his years. He lives in the same house in which he was born. He is particularly interesting when talking of the good days of long ago, while a young man, and decidedly so when giving his experience in matrimonial expectancy, and why he never took unto himself a bride. One would think to hear him talk that he yet had hope of engaging in that blissful life, before his day of departure closes a very useful and honorable life lCditor Herald: In Saturday's issue of The Herald you publish the statement of York county's valuation of real and personal property. This statement is surprising. Something must be wrong in our way of assessing property. How is it that the valuation of property in r*" nnil Vinir'a Moiin V-cllttU ua, liucuttci auu xvit>(3 W I tain townships has increased $2.r>0,247, while that in the remaining six townships has decreased $41,589? Will some one explain? You might account, to some extent, for the raise in Catawba by referring to the city boards of Rock Hill raising city property: but how about Kbenezer township? The land values are practically the same all over the county, and the personal property should be assessed equally. This unjust and discriminating valuation should be examined into, even if it takes legislative action. Our people have not examined into it, and we hope the matter will be explained. Remember this assessment of real estate stands for four years, and if it is wrong it is a burden upon our people and should be corrected. What do you think of the valuation of Dogs vs. Hogs, Sheep and Coats??Civis. CHESTER. Lantern, October 21: On Saturday, we believe it was. as Mr. Harvey Allen was taking Miss Martha Lee, from Lyle, where she had been visiting, to Rock Hill, a holding-back strap broke and the horse kicked, breaking Miss Lee's leg and injuring Mr. Allen slight ly Mr. Samuel Varnadore, who < lives near Lowrysville, was 93 years old last Saturday. He Is apparently In good health, and is remarkably active ( for his age. He has 9 living children, ' 40 grandchildren, and 39 great-grand- j children. What changes have taken { place since he was a boy A few days ago, a Negro boy, 8 or 9 years old, ' who gives his name as Abraham, came i to Chester from Greenwood, he says, having left there because he was cruel- t ly beaten by his father, who, he says wore out four handfuls of switches on ^ him. According to his story, another boy struck him with a rock and he laid * the said boy out with a stick. He was bfought up before the mayor, who dis- ' missed him on condition that he be < whipped by his father. Those who have examined him say that he has been in- { humanly treated. It is thought by ^ some that the father got the boy off out t of sight to escape punishment himself. -- 1.1 i- t- A! rr TP ' ne ougni 10 ue un mc uiia.iiieu.ii6> u the mayor of Greenwood imposes such sentences, he should see them executed. The boy gives his father's name as Sampson Simon, we believe It is with sincere regret that it falls our duty to chronicle another sad death in [ our midst. Miss Marie Home, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Home, was called to her final reward last night about 11.30. She was stricken about two weeks ago with typhoid fever, in Lancaster, where she was employed in the capacity of milliner by the firm of J. M. Heath & Company, and was removed to her home at this place last Friday a week ago Last Saturday morning a sad accident occurred on York street, between Mr. H. W. Hafner's and Mrs. Eliza Hood's. Mr. Sam Murphy was driving a colt to a sulky and just as he turned down between the two residences above named, he met Mrs. Wix and daughter in a top buggy. In some way the colt ran against the horse which Mrs. Wix was driving. The horse immediately began kicking and struck Mrs. Wix in the chest. The horse continued kicking until he had freed himself from the harness, and then Mr. Murphy, who had stopped his vehicle and alighted, seized the horse by the bridle, thus keeping him from running down the street. Mr. Murphy asked Mrs. Wix if she wanted a physician. She did not reply, and with some assistance walked to the nearby residence of Mrs. Eliza Hood. She was not unconscious and said, "I am sick, so sick." Her daughter asked her if it was not only fright. She replied, "No, I am sick. The horse struck me right here," placing her hand on her chest! Dr. Pryor was hastily summoned, examined the bruise, and pronounced the case serious at once. The skin was not broken and did not appear much bruised, but only slightly inflamed. She stayed at Mrs. Hood's about two hours and was taken to the residence of her son, Mr. J. W. Wix's, a short distance, ? <-<-1--- >- -> oka fV,of r UI1 OclIUUcl 8U CCI, >V UCI C one U(v.u ?.?iuv ii evening. Mrs. Wix was about 62 years old. Her maiden name was Edge.

Mr. Carpenter is an employe of the Page Company, and is well known here The most remarkable case of insomnia that ever came to our notice is that of Mr. Levi Smith, who recently went without sleep for 46 consecutive days and nights. Mr. Smith is the father of Mrs. J. A. White, at whose home, beyond the Ozark, he has been living for some time. Mr. Smith was born and raised on Big Long creek, two and a half miles from Gastonia, and is now in his 75th year. Ho served two and a half years in the war as a member of the Fourth N. C. cavalry. He is an intelligent old gentleman and appears sprightly enough for his age except that he is quite deaf. Three weeks ago, last Saturday night, he got his first sleep for 46 days. Having taken a dose of blood balm of some sort, he wrapped up in bed, and as a gentle prespiration came on he dropped off to sleep. After an hour or two, he awoke. The following night he slept less, and on the next still less, until three weeks ago tonight, he got his last nap of half an hour. He is now going through another period of wakefulness on which he has made a record of 20 days. Asked how his lack of sleep affected him, Mr. Smith replied that it made him a little giddy, but that otherwise his health was as good as usual. As to appetite he couldn't grumble. He sometimes became drowsy in a rocking chair, he said, but as soon as he lay down to take advantage of it, the sleepy feeling vanished and left him wide awake. At night, Mr. Smith goes to bed. looks out at the window to see the trains go by, gets up and rocks in a chair, and otherwise whiles away the time the best he can Mr. M. H. Bradley went to Yorkville Saturday night on a business trip Messrs. W. F. R. Johnson and John H. Blackwell, of Marion, S. C., came up from King's Mountain Military academy at Yorkville and attended the soiree at Jones Seminary last night. rti;' A good way to treat palms is to ,r sponge the leaves once a week with lukewarm water to which a little milk f lias been added.

The Work Easy and the Pay SHOULD BE IN EVERT HOME, a The yorkville enquirer is distinctively a York county paper. ?dited and published for York county readers. It is the aim of the publish- S( ;rs that the paper shall fill a field that a s filled by no other paper. The first importance is attributed to a correct presentation of the local news of York county, giving' especial attention to all ^ that Is of interest in the social, relig- ^ ous, educational, agricultural, commer- p jlal and Industrial affairs of this imme- p Rate section. Next after York county, j,follows the same Interest in the affairs )f the counties immediately surrounding. After that, Is published the more important news of the state, the nation y ind the world, all in a condensed, but * comprehensive form. The paper is Is- Z sued twice-a-week in order that Its ; readers may be kept in closer touch * with every-day developments, and each issue Is Intended to contain a condensed synopsis of all the more important ?vents current since the preceding issue. The publishers give especial attention to accuracy, comprehenslblllty ? md promptness, and try to make a pa- ? per that will enable busy people to keep (-' correctly informed on the important 21 jvents of the day, without having to do unnecessary reading. In addition to ilose attention to the news, the literary 'eature of THE ENQUIRER is also im- r< portant. It aims to Instruct, entertain K md inform. It seeks to present noth- 01 Ing except of a wholesome, elevating R rharacter, that will sustain the old and inspire the young In the higher ideals )f life and duty. In all of the features mtlined, THE ENQUIRER excels all N uther South Carolina newspapers, and a Pas but few rivals in the entire coun- L try. These results are the product of ci years of experience and of ceaseless toil, as well as of heavy expense, the ike of which is not approached by any uther weekly or semi-weekly newsaper ft in the south. In printing only what r< should be printed and leaving out what should not be printed, it is without a superior, and the highest ambition of the publishers Is to continue to sustain fl md upbuild the reputation the paper ir ?njoys in all its most praiseworthy features.
