Getting Acquainted.?In his "Life
of Bret Harte" Mr. T. Edgar Pemberton
recalls a story which turns on
the typical westerner's gift for humorous
understandings. In the author's
early days in California he spent
a night in an inn, newly opened. After
he had got comfortably to bed he
was aroused by the noise of scuffling
and shouting, punctuated by occasional
pistol shots below.
In the morning, on going downstairs,
he found the landlord with a
bruised eye, a piece of court plaster
extending from his cheek to his forehead
and yet with a pleasant smile on
his face. Taking his cue from this,
Harte said, "Well, landlord, you had
rather a lively time here last night."
"Yes," admitted the landlord, with
a deepening smile. "It was rather a
lively time."
"Do you often have such lively times
round here?" continued Harte, emboldened
by the landlord's cheerfulness.
"Well, no," the landlord replied re
nectiveiy. xne iaci is, ?vc ?c umj
Just opened yer, and last night was
the first time the b<?ys seemed to be
getting really acquainted."
A Befuddled Memory.?An anecdote
which has been going the rounds
in the British official circles concerns
the memorable experience of a certain
member of parliament during the last
year of Queen "Victoria's reign. The
statesman in question is not one of
those who are most firmly convinced
of the benefits of total abstinence,
and the evening of a certain public
function at which royalty was to be
present found him in a condition which
would not have been edifying to the
supporters of that movement. The
late queen was receiving the guests
or honor, and it was necessary that
the convivial M. P. should be presen- I
ted with the rest. As he approached his
sovereign Victoria extended her hand
for him to kiss. But he did not kiss
it: instead, he grasped and shook it
with vigorous enthusiasm, while he
scrutinized her face with grave perplexity.
"Your face, madam," he observed, J
"Is perfectly familiar to me, but I'm
blowed if I can remember your name!" I
Descriptive.?Private John Allen is
responsible for this one:
Last year there were a number of
Claims lor uailittges uiuugm
one of the railroads in Mississippi by
the farmers in a certain county of that
state. These claims arose out of the
fact that many hogs had been killed
by the trains of the railroad in question.
A mixed commission was formed
of railroad men and others to determine
the equity of these claims.
Among others questioned by this commission
was an old darky who claimed
to have been an eye-witness of the
annihilation of one hog.
Said the chairman of the commission
to Zeph:
"Tell us, in as few words as possible,
how this hog was killed."
Old Zeph shifted a huge cud of tobacco
from one cheek to the other,
cleared his throat, and then replied:
"Well, sah," said he, "as nearly as I
kin make it out, it was dis way: De
train tooted and den tuk him!"
Sir Michael's "Think So."?The
late British ambassador, Sir Michael
Herbert, had a horror of interviews.
He once told Senator Depew that he
lay awake nights thinking up methods
of escape from them.
"Once on my return to America
from London," related Sir Michael to
the senator, "I knew I would find a
small army of interviewers to meet me
at the pier, seeking news of a political
crisis in England. I fretted all the
way over until the last day of the voyage,
when a happy thought occurred
to me. I wrote on a dozen sheets of
paper, 'I think so,' and slipped them
into envelopes. These I handed to the
reporters as I left the ship and hurried
to my carriage. I rode to my hotel
chuckling over my cleverness.
"But," added the ambassador, ruefully,
"when I got the papers next
morning I read column after column
of interview in which I was quoted
as answering T think so' to hundreds
of startling questions. I never repeated
that experiment." ? Philadelphia
Ledger.
It Was a Success.?A young lady
who engages largely in church and
mission work was recently the moving
spirit in some amateur theatricals
which were got up in the interest of a
deserving local charity. The entertainment
was billed, and the performance
was duly given. But somehow or other
no notice was taken of it in the local
newspapers. A few days later a
friend met the young lady in question,
when the conversation turned to the
theatricals.
"Was the entertainment a success?"
"I should think it was," replied the
lady, with a smile. "Why, we got over
$100."
"Is that so?" said the friend. "Then
you must have had a large audience."
"Well, no," she replied. "We only
tool: $1.50 at the door, but father gave
us a check for $100 if we would promise
never to do it again."?St. Joseph
Press.
An* Inquisitive Jury.?"Gentlemen
of the jury," said the judge as he concluded
his charge, "if the evidence
shows in your minds that pneumonia
even indirectly was the cause of the
man's death the prisoner cannot be
convicted."
An hour later a messenger came
from the jury room.
"The gentlemen of the jury, my
lord," he said, "desire information."
"On what point of evidence?"
"None, your honor; but they want
to know how to spell pneumonia."?

J. H. TILLMAN ON THE STAND.
[Continued from First Page].
the Winnsboro Herald, In which he
attacked Gonzales. He admitted the
authorship of the article, he said, to
Mr. Gonzales, and was then confronted
by Mr. Bellinger with the following
letter, dated Clarks's Hill, Nov. 3, 1892,
addressed to N". G. Gonzales:
"Dear Sir: As circumstances have
turned out I feel confident that in any
article written for the News and Herald
about you two years ago a great
injustice was done you.
Denies Writing Article.
"After consideration I deem it
naught but fairness to you that this
statement should be made. However,
to put myself in the proper light, I will
say that I was not the author of the
articles that caused the unpleasantness.
Under a peculiar condition of
affairs then existing I was forced to
assume responsibility for it; those
conditions have changed.
"I trust you entirely understand the
spirit in which this letter is written,
and let me beg to assure you that I do
not cherish in the slightest degree any
ill-will or animosity toward you. Let
me add that this branch of the Tillman
family are all grateful to you for
kind words spoken in behalf of Congressman
Tillman during his last and
final race.
"I am very respectfully,
"Jambs H. Tillman."
The prisoner testified that the illfeeling
between himself and Mr. Gonzales
was because of the attacks of
the latter on him while he was in the
army, but that he had frequently visited
the office of the State to see Mr.
Ebbie Watson, an employee there.
The witness denied that' he and
Gonzales had ever eaten a meal together
between 1892 and 1902, but
said, "We took a drink together once."
As to the date, he answered: "I do
not know, but I think you were there
and had one with us, Gen. Bellinger."
"If I was anywhere around, it is very
likely," Mr. Bellinger replied, laughingly.
Blamed Attacks for Defeat.
Tillman said he attributed his defeat
as governor to N. G. Gonzales
and other people who were attacking
him. He was confused in regard
to the pistol he had on him when he
left the state house, and contradicted
the affidavit made by him at the time
of the application for bail.
At that time Tillman said he was
carrying the pistols from his room in
the state house, because of the approaching
expiration of his term of
office, to his hotel. The cross-examination
developed the fact that he took
one of the pistols to the state house
with him in the morning, and that the
magazine revolver was brought there
later in the day for him, after it had
been repaired by the gunsmith.
F. Frost Walker, a clerk of the court
of Richland county, was called by the
defense to bring the court records.
These show that N. G. Gonzales was
fined $10 for carrying a concealed
weapon Feb. 2, 1886. After the examination
of two other unimportant
witnesses the defense closed its case.
The State immediately put up wit
??? 1 i *? nv?rtnr fv?of pjnh
nt?5?es 111 rcuunai lu ouun uiuv
ard Holzenback, one of the chief witnesses
for the defendant, was unworthy
of belief. Six or eight testified
they would not believe him under oath.
The State will have a dozen other
witnesses along the same line, and
the defense will also put on some witnesses
to protect the character of its
witnesses.
THE IMPORTANCE OF CORN."
Missouri Offers $6,700 For a World's
Fair Scientific Corn Culture.
Correspondence of the Torkriile Enauirer.
St. Louis, October 6.?Corn that has
won prizes aggregating $6,700 will be
one of Missouri's offerings to the universal
corn display that will be a feature
of the agriculaural exhibit at the
World's Fair.
There are 114 counties in the state
and the Missouri World's Fair commissioners
have arranged for the holding
of a corn show this fall in each county.
Prizes aggregating $50 are offered for
the best twenty ears each of white,
yellow and mixed corn. After the last
county show shall have been held, a
state corn show will be held, in St.
Louis. Here the prizes will aggregate
$1,000. There are ten prizes, ranging
from $100 down to $5 for the best 100
ears of white and red corn. For the
best display of different kinds of corn
?white, yellow, red calico, flint, sweet
or pop corn, these prizes, aggregating
$175, are offered. Prizes are also offered
for longest ears, the largest ears,
and for the authentic record of the
largest yield per acre.
In making the records uniformity of
size, the shape of the ear, size, and purity
will be considered.
The grower of corn will learn much
from this exhibit. It is an established
fact that America is the native home
for the great maize family, though it
has been claimed that Asia is its native
habitat. From the time the Indian
r\ ownll nlnf furnlch
squaw ICIIUCU a 0111 an [/ivi iv ... .....
food for the Indian brave, when the
weather forbade his hunting with any
degree of success, great strides have
been made in cultivating and developing
the cereal that has often been
crowned "king." Then the yield was
small. Now a South Carolina grower
has shown that 255 bushels can be
grown on a single acre. Then it was
used only for food. Now it is used in
distilleries, glucose factories, sugar
works, cellulose plants, corn meal mills
and corn paper mills. Corn is one of
the American farmers' most important
crops and each year it adds one billion
dollars to their bank accounts.
At the World's Fair corn show the
farmer may derive untold benefits by
comparing his methods of cultivation
with that adopted by the winners of
prizes. He may gain ideas about selecting
his seeds. The marvelous possibilities
of scientific corn culture are
just beginning to be realized, and the
results obtained from Missouri's contests
will be awaited with interest in
the world of agriculture.
WISE MOTHER MOUSE.
Built-Up Barrier to Keep Little Ones
From Harm.
"When we think of mice it is usually
of the trouble they cause us; we are
not apt to credit the rodents with much
intelligence," said a lady at the sewing
circle, as quoted in the New York
Times, "but I recently had an experience
which shows that the little creatures
possess a good bit of wisdom,
after all.
"I had been annoyed for some time
by a family of mice which lived in the
walls of the bed room. They nibbled
my clothes, disturbed my sleep and
when they grew so bold as to go into
the canary's cage and cat up its seed
my patience gave out and I determined
10 nx mem.
"I bought a trap and set it by the
hole in the wall. For five nights 1
caught a mouse; then several days
passed without catching one, although
they were still there, for they kept up
their noise, although not coming into
my room any more.
"I found that the trap was all right,
but the hole in the wall had been closed
from the inside. I pulled the filling
out. It was not easy work, for it had
been evidently put there to stay, and
was made of bits of plaster and rubbish.
I kept the hole open with the
trap close to it, but next day it was
filled again.
"I repeated this clearing out process
five times, and five times the filling
was replaced. It was evidently the
work of the mother mouse to prevent
her little ones from passing through
what had proved a fatal gate to so
many. And I left the hole closed, for
the mice did not come into my room
again."

That Car Load of
OLIVER CHILLED PLOWS
ABOUT which we have been telling
you, has arrived. We have sold
quite a number and of course expect
to sell them all and order more In the
course of time. If you have never
used one just ask your neighbor about
how he likes his. We are satisfied
that he has one and we are entirely
willing that he shall express his honest
convictions as to the merit of the
Plow without any suggestions from us.
We know that the Oliver Plow has
neither rivals or competitors in its particular
sphere, and to prove this will
simply say that there are about twenty-five
concerns in the United States
that make so-called chilled plows, along
with other tools, implements and machinery
while the Oliver people manufacture
nothing except plows and sell
80 per cent of all the CHILLED plows
sold and used in the world. Could
there be anj more conclusive proof of
the superiority of their goods? The
overwhelming majority of farmers do
not buy the Oliver Plow because they
are cheaper than others, because they
are not, or because they love the Oliver
people, but because they know
they are the "BEST ON EARTH."

The yorkville enquirer is
the most complete semi-weekly
newspaper In South Carolina. Its mission
is to keep its readers promptly
and correctly Informed as to all local,
state and general happenings that are
of immediate interest and to stand for
all that promises best for the welfare
of its constituents along business, industrial,
social and religious lines. The
contents of THE ENQUIRER represent
more careful and painstaking labor
than do the contents of any other
semi-weekly newspaper published in
the state, and the time and money expended
in its production are also greater.
At the same time, on the basis of
actual service rendered, its cost to the
subscriber is less than that of any other
South Carolina paper.
THE SUBSCRIPTION PRICE.
The subscription price of THE ENQUIRER
to single subscribers is $2
per annum; but in clubs of two or
more we send it for only $1.75. This
reduction is for business reasons and
for the convenience of the subscriber,
and to further both of these ends we
offer the following proposition
TO CLUBMAKERS.
To the clubmaker who returns and
pays for the largest number of names
between October 15, 1903, and Wednesday,
March 16, 1904, at 6 o'clock p. m.,
we will give a first-class Babcock Top
Buggy, worth $85; or a first-class Columbia
Top Buggy with rubber tires,
valued at $85. The clubmaker will
have the option of the two propositions.
To the clubmaker who returns and
pays for the second largest club, we
will give a handsome Columbia Top
Buggy, worth $65.
The Babcock and Columbia Buggies
can be seen at Glenn & Allison's livery
stables.
