Bills were over due and orders small, but he served his customers with genial alacrity and did not complain. Mr. Oakes, the constable, watched him as lie went to the telephone and admired his happy disposition. "Yes. ma'am," said Mr. Carter to the instrument, "yes, ma'am, we can deliver them inside of two hours." He bit his pencil and prepared to write. "One 'east cake, yes, ma'am: two lemons, a pound of sody crackers, yes, ma'am: box of matches, fi'-cent loaf o' bread, yes, ma'am; and two cents' worth o' meat for the cat. Thank you. That'll be all? Yes, ma'am. Be over before noon. "Well, Oakes. that's the way it goes. Hear that order from Mrs. Wilkins? Twenty-four cents* worth in all. Profit about 4 cents, and a mile to go to deliver." "I wouldn't do it." said Mr. Oakes. "You would if you was in the business and wanted to keep your trade. Sundays and parties make her orders good, take it through the whole month." A few minutes later the telephone bell rang again, and Mr. Carter responded. Over the wire came an eager voice. "Is this Mr. Carter?" it asked. "Yes. ma'am. What can I do for you. ma'am?" "This is Mrs. Wilkins." the voice went on. "I just wanted to ask you to cancel that order for meat for the cat. He won't need it. He's just caught a bird."?Youth's Companion.

It was long and large, perfect in shape, with small cob, regular rows and perfect grains to the very end. But the best thing about Mr. Carter's corn is that for seven or eight years he has been planting his crop with seed selected from his crop of two years before, not because year before last's seed will make better corn than last year's, but?yes, it will,, though; the conditions are always so much more favorable where there's twoyear-old corn in the crib evei-y spring; the mules are stronger and the land is stronger, and then you will find a real farmer about the place. But speaking about the land reminds us that this fine corn was made without fertilizer and on upland.

Only this morning Mr. McKeown, superintendent of the county chain gang, killed a dog, owned by Mr. Hedgpath. which was frothing at the mouth and showed signs of being mad, and another dog was killed at the county home that was bitten by the Hedgpath dog. Now what are the city officials doing in regard to the worthless dogs roaming over our streets at large? Will they wait until some child or lady is bitten? Then you will see the officials and police wake up and pretend to be doing something.

The funeral was held this morning at nine o'clock at the home, the services being conducted by Dr. J. C. Galloway, pastor of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian church. The interment then took place at Oakwood cemetery, the little body being laid to rest beside that of his twin sister who died at the age of about six weeks. Mr. and Mrs. Bradley have the deep sympathy of many friends in their sad bereavement Late Friday afternoon the local police made a good haul when they landed Frank Hefner, an old offender, behind the bars under it charge of retailing. Hefner was caught with the goods, which consisted of two gallons of whisky and a barrel of beer. Hefner who lives in the neighborhood of Dallas. came to town Friday afternoon u- i l h his; onlnrpfl ilriv'Mt* William SlhAn herd, and went to the Southern express office where fie signed for two packages, a box of whisky and a barrel of beer, only one of which, bowever was addressed to him. the other having been consigned to his driver. Fearing that the officers might be on his trail. Hefner left his wagon and driver standing at the corner of Main and Marietta streets and went to a store on Look street, probably to wait till ibe shades of night gathered to protect him from the eyes of the law. Castonia's vigilant officers were on his trail, however, and it was only a matter of a short time until the driver and team were taken in hand and a search instituted for the principal offender. When brought before Mayor Armstrong a short while later Shepherd, the negro driver, was held under a bond of $100 which he gave, for his appearance at the next term of court. Hefner was held under a bond of $500, in default of which he was committed to jail at Dallas to await trial at the I next term of court. Hefner's record as a blind tiger is very unsavory. At the last term of court he was fined $50 and required to give bond for his appearance at each term for two years iand show good behavior, this being a change from a sentence of six months on the road. In view of these facts it will more than likely go hard with him when his case is called at the next session of superior court. LETTER FROM CHEROKEE. 'Anniversary of the Great Hail Storm ?Mule Raising In Bullock's Creek? Farmers and the Cotton. Correspondence of the Yorkviile Enquirer. Wilkinsville, June 8.?Last night was the fortieth anniversary of the great hail storm that passed down Broad river valley from the vicinity of Rhyne's mill to the "Beauty Spot." The hail beat the bark off timber and almost every vestige of fruit in its track was destroyed. Capt. John W. Mitchell had a field of cotton that was literally ruined?nothing left but the stubs of the stalk. Some of it came out and made pretty fair cotton as well as we now remember. But lots of the crop was plowed up. both of corn and cotton and planted over. Mr. John W. Smith, who lived at Howell's ferry had a field of wheat, which was ready to cure. The wheat was not very good, and he made some slight remark about it the day before. But when he got up next morning and found it beaten into the ground, he said to his wife: "Jane, starvation is at the door." Sam Strain was over on the. York side last Saturday, and bought some pigs from Mr. H. F. Horton. The people along Bullock's creek and western York are great hog raisers. They have been selling pigs to people on this side as far off as Cowpens. Some peddlers come over from that section regularly, and haul back pigs to supply their neighbors. "Mr. "Bob" Blackwood killed a snake yesterday over seven feet long, ano he says it would weigh over ten pounds. Several bales of cotton were sold from this neighborhood last week for 12 cents. Much of the cotton has heen damaged by being exposed to the weather, and It is not very saleable. In fact the spinners don't want it. Many farmers are standing firm, asking 15 cents, and will carry it over if they don't get It. The fight has been a hard one and the farmers have yielded only "to overwhelming forces and resources." While the farmers haven't been successful in crushing the cotton speculators altogether, they have made their roost warmer. We have never seen farmers more determined to raise their home supplies than they now are, and the prospects were never better. The corn has been planted and looks well. Seasons have been favorable for it, and much of the cotton land of last year has been planted in corn. It generally looks well too. A phone message was received today that Mrs. Maggie Estes Black was ivSno- rtnnfrp.rmi?lv ill at her home at Glendale and her brother, JefT, and sister, Miss Ola Kstes have gone to see her. Mr. W. R. Walker spent last week on his Sunn.v Side farm looking after his farming interests.

Crop Conditions?Notes About People ?The Williamson Plan?Other Matters. Correspondence of the Yorkrille Enauirer. Bullock's Creek R. F. D. No. 1, June 8.?If you will allow me space, I will give you a few dots from Rullock's Creek remote corner, which will let my old friends know that I am still in the land of the living. Farm work in this neighborhood is progressing very nicely. Though our crops seem to be a little late; I guess they will come on all right. We are a little dry just now, especially gardens and late sowing of spring oats is needing rain. We are not planting much corn on the Williamson plan in this neighborhood. One reason is. fertilizers are not veiy convenient. Another reason is, a good deal of the corn is planted on bottom lands that are subject to overflow. Consequently there would be some risk in it. Judging from the number of fine colts in our neighborhood, our farmers are manifesting more interest in stock raising than they have in former years. This is an important and essential part of farming. I notice a fine field of corn containing about eight or ten acres, which belongs to Mr. Will Thompson. It seems to be worked on the Williamson plan. Mr. Wade Osborne who lives just over the Chester and York line, raised last year from ten acres of land, worked on the Williamson plan 400 bushels of corn. Off one acre, he raised 82 bushels. He used on the acre fertilizers to the value of $10. Mr. Osborne is a man who does nothing by halves. If he measures a piece of land, or measures the corn, it can he relied upon. Mr. Osborne is working ten acres - .1... 7 ?ioitu<l Ull> ,>r?r 'Ml nit- ?Nflllir |M?lll. a ? i' a few days ago. A portion of it is about ready to "lay by." and is making' n fine showing.

Ireland has produced many celebrated men, but it would be hard to find one whose name is more deeply engraved on the minds of her people than Daniel O'Connell. In the history of his country he holds a unique place. No politician ever possessed greater influence, none ever used it with greater moderation. And yet, despite all this, the statute book contains little evidence of his life's work. The fact is O'Connell was an f.gitator not a statesman, and as such, it is not too much to say, he re-created Irish national feeling. He had many things in his favor, not the least of which were good looks, a well-proportioned figure, and a charming voice. Then, too, he was possessed of the most astonishing energy and, what is of far greater Im portance, nis neiier in me cause was fanatical. Gifted with the most marvellous powers of oratory, an inexhaustible fund of humor, and a thorough knowledge of the Irish people and their ways, it is not surprising that his power increased until he was more omnipotent than any viceroy. Yet, as a boy, he showed little signs of energy or ability. At school, beyond being able to claim the distinction of never having been flogged, he appears to have done little. To his uncle Maurice O'Counell, who adopted him, the great Irishman owes his advance in life. After completing his school education he was sent to the English college of St. Omer, where he won golden opinions from Dr. Stapleton, who predicted a great future for him. Later on he went to study at Douay. This was during the time of the French revolution, a coincidence which, as he declares, made him almost a Tory at heart. In 1794 he settled down at Gray's Inn with "enthusiastic ambition," as he says himself, "to rise at the bar." Two years later he returned to Ireland, and began to practise. For the first year his fee book showed an income of ?60; the second it was nearly ?1,100; in 1828 his professional emoluments were ?8,000. It wf.s about the year 1800 that O'Connell first took up politics seriously. His first recorded speech at this time was at Dublin, at a meeting convened to protest against the act of Union. O'Counell hated the Union and set himself to work from this day forth, by meetings, petitions and every other device, to stir up feeling in Ireland against it. In 1810 an important movement was set on foot in Dublin for repeal. O'Connell, whose enthusiasm was looked upon with disfavor by many leading Catholics, now took the load; a meeting was convened and be delivered a great speech, in which repeal, and nothing short of repeal, was the predominant note. The ball once set rolling gathered impetus as it went. There was plenty of scope for agitation, and O'Connell never missed an opportunity of parading Irish grievances before the people. In 1828 he was returned unopposed for County Clare, though it was generally assumed that, being a Roman Catholic, he would be debarred from taking his seat. Owing to his refusal to take the oath of supremacy his election was annulled. Again he stood for Clare, and again he was returned unopposed. The more the government frustrated him, the more violently did he agitate. Clubs were formed everywhere; meetings were held in the most remote villages. There was nothing for it but to admit him to the house, for the country was seething with political revolu-J tion. In the parliament of '3.r> Whigs and Tories were so evenly divided that O'Connell and his followers held the balance. and were thus ift a position to discuss terms with the ministry. Up till tiiis date O'Connell had confined his agitation to Ireland; now, however, having been kindly received by the Whigs, he commenced operations in England. In many of the great towns he addressed enthusiastic audiences. A short time before parliament met he had been charged and found guilty "of creating discontent and disaffection among the liege subjects of the queen." For this he was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment in Bridewell, fined ?2,000, and ordered to keep the peace for seven years. Three months later the lords reversed the judgment and he was released. But short as had been his stay in prison his health, ailing for some time, had suffered. The death of a devoted grandchild shortly afterward increased his misery; the death of his wife a littie later well-nigh broke his heart. Added to all this, money difficulties, as he wrote to a friend, had for some time been literally killing him. Still, he fought on, but his influence in Ireland was decreasing dally. On Feb. 8, 1847, he appeared in the house for the last time. A few days later he was taken dangerously ill. His doctor ordered him change of air, and held out hopes of recovery; he himself knew he was dying. Still he started off abroad, though only to reach Genoa, where he died on May 15.?London Globe. A Famous Regiment. It is doubtful if any other one regiiinent furnished an equal number of distinguished officers during the civil war as did the Second United States cavalry. Among the officers were AlI bert Sidney Johnston, colonel; Robert R Lee. lieutenant colonel; William J. Hardee, brevet lieutenant colonel; George H. Thomas, major. Robert E. Lee and A. S. Johnson became generals in the Confederate army, and Hardee became lieutenant general. Thomas became a distinguished general in the Federal army. Among the captains were Earl Van Dorn, E. Kirby Smith and X. G. Evans, all of whom became generals in the Confederate army. I. X. Palmer, George Stoneinan and R. W. Johnson held the same positions in the Union army. Among the subalterns John R. Hood, Charles W. Field, C'hambliss and Phifer became southern generals, and R. Garrard and others attained the same place in the northern army. Captain Evans left the United States' service before Colonel Robert K. Lee did, and when they parted at Fort Mason, Tex., Colonel Lee said: "I'm sorry to give you up, Evans. Don't know what may happen before we meet again. Perhaps they'll make you a general." 'iiv The sermon that hurts is the sermon that hits. WHAT Ti MIIM8 IN) Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us Strong and Healthy. All the blood in the body passes through the kidneys once every three minutes. The kidneys Alter the blood. They work night and day. When healthy they remove about iiOO grains of impure matter daily, when unhealthy some part of this impure matter is left in the blood. This brings on many diseases and symptoms?pain in the back, headache, nervousness, hot. dry skin, rheumatism, gout, gravel, disorders of the eyesight and hearing, dizziness. Irregular heart, debility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits in the urine, etc. But if you keep the filters right you will have no trouble with your kidneys. James Hugglns, living on S. Main St., Yorkville, S. C., says: "For several years I suffered from nervous spells and was hardly ever free from a dull aching across the small part of my back. There was a soreness across my kidney regions and the least excitement caused me to become very weak. The kidney secretions were thick and cloudy and I felt miserable. I finally procured Doan's Kidney Pills at the York Drug Store, and used them according to directions. They cured me and I have since felt better and stronger in every way." For sale by all dealers.
