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.

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.

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,

Gastonia Gazette, October 21: Mr. ?
Frank Gray came up Saturday from
Yorkville, where he is attending the E
King's Mountain Military academy. E
He will return today Cotton re- ^
ceipts at the local platform yesterday
were light, only seven bales being E
brought in. The price paid was a little
off, the best bringing only 8.25 cents.
Sixty-six and thirty-five bales was the E
record foKFffday and Saturday respectively
.There was no little sur- 5
prise yesterday among the friends of s
Mr. A. M. Carpenter and Miss Beulah
Garrison when it became known that '
they were married at McAdenville c
Sunday morning. The ceremony was
performed at 1 o'clock by Rev. R. M. 5
Courtney at the residence of Mr. J. C. .
Walker. It was distinctly a surprise

widower of 50 years, while the bride is
a young- lady of only 20 years. She is
the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. L.
Garrison and has a large number of
friends. 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.

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.
HOW TO GET IT. fi
