Hurried Him.
The steamboat was moving very
slowly up the broad, swift river. Several
miles ahead, where there was a
bend, a sharp point of land projected
a considerable distance into the stream.
It had been in sight nearly an hour.
On the upper deck sat a young couple,
engaged in earnest conversation.
"Lucinda," he was saying, "we've
known each other a long time, haven't
we?"
"Yes," she answered.
"Five or six years at least, isn't it?"
"i oeueve so.
"Don't you think a girl ought to
know n fellow pretty well by that
time?"
"Why, yes, of course."
"You've never heard anything bad
about me, have you?"
"No."
"And in five or six years a young
man ought to know a girl rrettv well,
oughtn't he?"
"I suppose so."
"We've been together a good deal,
too, Lucinda"?
Then there was a long pause.
"And of course you must have suspected"?
Another protracted silence.
"Anybody would naturally suspect?
though I'\e never been in a position
until lately?and yet my mind has been
made up all the time?and I can't tell
you how much F'?
Then Lucinda spoke.
"Henry," she said, "do you know you
remind me of this steamboat?"
"Er?how ?" ?
"It takes you such a long time to
get to the point."?Youth's Companion.
Her Mistake.?Owing to the fact
that the car lurched suddenly as he
was passing along the aisle, Bronson
was deprived of his balance, with the
result that in attempting to save himself
from falling he clutched one of the
shoulders of a handsome woman who
had succeeded in getting a seat.
Moreover, he knocked her beautiful
hat awry and with great difficulty
avoided stepping on her toes. As he
succeeded in recovering his equilibrium
the lady turned toward him and
said:
"You contemptible pup! I wish you
to understand that I am not a lamppost
or a piece of furniture to be clung
to for support. You ought to ride in
a cattle train. You have no light to
crowd in where you can tear other
people to pieces with your big awk
ward hands, lou puuui i-iunu, >uu
ought to be thrown out into the street.
You are not fit to be allowed to go
where you are likely to Interfere with
the comfort of refined people. You unmannerly
bumpkin you deserve to
be"?
"Excuse me. madame," Bronson managed
to say. "you have made a mistake."
"A mistake?" the lady demanded,
her eyes flashing with wrath. "What
do you mean?"
"I am not your husband."?Chicago
Record-Herald.
Smith's Library.?Henry Farman,
the aviator, during his American visit,
seemed as much impressed with the
diminutive proportions of some of New
York's flats as with the height of her I
skyscrapers or the immensity o'f her
hotel bills.
"I visited a Brooklyn aeronautical
experimenter the other night," said Mr.
Farman to a reporter, "and his flat
was the smallest I've seen yet. It
showed me the point of a joke that 11
once heard an American make. I
laughed then at this joke, which I had
heard two years before.
" 'Smith of Brooklyn,' I said to my
American friend, 'doesn't strike me as
at all literary, yet he declares he only
feels really comfortable and content
when snugly ensconced in his library.' I
" 'Well, you see,' my companion ex-1
plained, 'Smith's bookcase is a folding
bed.' "?Denver Republican.
He Was Lucky to Be King.?An
amusing story is told concerning King
Louis of Bavaria. His majesty was
much annoyed on one occasion when
the soldier on guard at the palace gates
negiecteu iu presem a.* mo.
was the soldier did not know his ma-.
Jesty by sight.
"Why don't you present arms?" ine
latter asked, angrily. "Do you know to
whom you are indebted for your dally.
bread ?"
The sentry glared angrily at the
king. and. Imagining him to be the
army baker, replied: "So you are the
miserable son of a baker who furnishes
the soldiers with bread, are you? Well.j
I should like to have you by yourself in
some quiet place. I'd spread your ungainly
anatomy over three kingdoms.
I'd make dough of you!"?London
News.
How to Succeed.?John G. Johnson,
Philadelphia's famous lawyer, was
talking in the smoke room of a liner
about work. "In my youth," said Mr.
Johnson, "I was ambitious, ambitious
in an aimless and desultory way. In
early youth, of course, one understands
neither life nor one's self.
"An aged millionaire questioned me
one day good humoredly.
" 'You are ambitious,' he said.
" 'I am,' I agreed.
" 'Why,' said the millionaire, 'do you
want to rise?'
" 'So that I can do as I like,' I answered.
"The millionaire smiled and shook
his head.
" Ah, my boy,' he said, 'it is only
when we do as we don't like that we
succeed.' "?Denver Republican.
Too Scarce to Throw Away.?
"They pipe water now through the
burning Australian desert that lies be .
tween the coast and the Kilgoorlie go'd!
fields, a distance of about 250 miles, I
but in my day in that forsaken country
water was the scarcest commodity
known." said a San Francisco mining
engineer.
"It was often hard to get enough
water for drinking purposes, and the
man who was reckless enough of his
money to buy a bucketful for a bath
was the talk of the community. I once
indulged in this luxury, and after I
had finished I noticed that the water
was carefully collected again by the
vender.
"'What are you going to do with it?'
I asked the man. 'Sell it to some other
fellow for half price,' hp answered,
'and after that I'll sell it several more
times, for, you see, it's too scarce, mister.
to throw away after only one or
two men have washed in it.'"
They Had So Many,?Mr. and Mrs.
Oldwed had so many children they
didn't know what to do; so they took J
fKm nack off to n nirnlp on the!
river, and let them run riot.
Suddenly a small boy ran up to Mr.
Oldwed and cried out:
' Papa! papa! Archibald has fallen
into the water!"
"Archibald? Archibald?" repeated the
father. Then he turned to his wife.
"Mary." he inquired, anxiously, "havei
we an Archibald?"?Tid-Blts.

CHESTER.
Lantern, November 10: In Friday's
issue of the Lantern mention was made
of the burning: of a shed in the back
yard of a dwelling in the Springstein
mill grounds. Another and more serious
one occurred in the afternoon at
the public weigher's platform at the
new farmer's warehouse building near
the Southern depot. The fire had evl
dently been packed in a bale of cotton
which had been placed on the platform
the day before and when it burned to
the outside there was soon a big conflagration.
The alarm was given and
the firemen quickly responded and did
good work but from 275 to' 300 bales
were more or less burned before it
could be extinguished and the platform
was badly burned in places. About
fifty bales were gotten away from the
platform without injury. The ownership
of the cotton was about equally
divided between S. M. Jones & Co.,
Jos. Wylie & Co.. and P. G. McCorkle
and was covered by insurance. The
insurance men were expected here today
to adjust the matter. Mr. W. G.
Johnson says he saved the platform
from a similar fate more than a week
ago by putting off a bale of cotton
which he suspected having fire in it.
Capt. Wm. Sprinkle, one of the
oldest conductors on the Southern railroad,
died at his home in Charlotte at
9 o'clock yesterday morning, after an
illness of about a week. As has been
his custom in his late years when there
was an unusual amount of travel, he
went off duty at the beginning of the
fair in Charlotte to be off until after
the state fair in Columbia, but before
that time was out he took sick and
died at the time stated. This morning's
State says: "Captain Sprinkle
was born and raised at Winnsboro and
was 74 years old at his death. He had
spent forty-three years of his life as
conductor with the Southern and old
Richmond & Danville, and he helped
grade the road between Columbia and
Charlotte, then known as the C. C. &
A. The funeral service will be held
at 3 o'clock tomorrow from his home
in Charlotte, and his remains will rest
in Elmwood cemetery in this city
Mr. James P. Wallace died Friday afternoon.
November 6, at his home in
the neighborhood of Pleasant Grove
Presbyterian church, after a long illness
with some dropsical affection.
The burial was at Mt. Prospect Saturday
after funeral services conducted
by Rev. S. M. Jones. Mr. Wallace was

member of the company, a trapeze flyer.
had the misfortune to fall to the
ground and sustained painful injuries.
A physician was called and administered
to him. This was the company's
last performance here and they went
on to some other point, so it is not
known just what the unfortunate
showman's condition is Gastonia's
new fire bell seems to be very much
of a failure. It has been brought into
requisition two or three times since
it was installed but very few people
outside of the immediate scene of Its
location heard it. As a noise maker it
can't hold a candle to the old "wildcat"
whistle. This deficiency in noisemaking
qualities is really a draw-back
as the firemen live in various parts of
the town Mr. A. C. Stroup, who
has charge of the government's cooperative
demonstration work in Gaston
county, tells the Gazette that, as a
result of the adoption of the plans recommended
by the government, some
most satisfactory results are being obtained
in this county. As an instance
he cited the fact that Mr. A. U. Stroup,
one of the best farmers of the Lucia
neighborhood, raised this season on one
acre of ground 93J bushels of corn,
while Mr. R. F. Lineberger, living near
Vmmt Hnllv ralspd TH bushels on ud
land. Mr. Stroup has previously raised
as high as 70 bushels to the acre.
In a letter received by Mr. Stroup yesterday
Mr. C. R. Hudson, demonstrator
for North Carolina with headquarters
st Statesville. imnarts the information
that Mr. A. U. Stroup's record of 93J
bushels of corn to the acre is the best
so far in the state, the next best being
that of an Iredell county farmer
" b<? r?is?d 90 bushels. The secret of
the success attending the following of
the nlans outlined by the government
lies largely in the plowing.

What the Kidneys Do

All the blood In the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
of impure matter dally, when unhealthy
some part of this impure mat1

on many diseases and symptoms?

James Huggins. living on W. Main
St., Yorkville, S. C., says: "For several
i years I suffered from nervous spells and
was hardly ever free from a dull aching
across the small of my back. There
was a soreness across my kidney regions

THE YORKVILLE ENQUIRER IS THE MOST THOROUGHGOING
FAMILY NEWSPAPER IN SOUTH CAROLINA. It is primarily a County
paper, and there is not a paper in this state that fills its field more completely
or more impartially in this respect. It seeks to promote the material
and moral welfare of its readers, and in defending and developing all that is
best in their educational, political and social life. It is owned and controlled
absolutely by its publishers, who hold themselves responsible only to their
subscribers as a whole on a basis of the Ten Commandments and the four Gospels.
As the best recommendation of the integrity of its conduct, and of the
righteousness of its controlling motives it points back to a record of fifty-three
years of earnest endeavor, and the present support of MORE THAN" twu
THOUSAND PAID SUBSCRIBERS.
The premiums offered by the publishers of THE ENQUIRER for the
LARGEST CLUBS returned in the premium getting campaign of 1908-09, Inelude
Two Carolina Grade Rook IIIII Buggies and Sixteen High Grade Sewing B
Machines.

will be a Quarter Leather Top Carolina Grade Rook Hill Buggy, with Steel

in the same township we will give One Five Drawer High Arm Sewing
Machine, which Retails at $40. The Machine has drop head, hand lift, and is

which the manufacturers claim is the best that has ever been used In connec
tion with a SeNving Machine. It is guaranteed for Ten Years and will last a
lifetime.
SECOND TOWNSHIP PREMIUM.
To the Clubmaker returning the SECOND LARGEST CLUB of any Clubmaker
in the township in which he resides, we will give a No. 26 "New Model" 4
Five Drawer. Drop Head Sewing Machine. The furniture is of selected oak,

It is our purpose to give the Buggies to the Clubmakers returning the
LARGEST and SECOND LARGEST CLUBS. If both the Largest and Second
Largest Clubs are returned from the same township, there will be no Sewing
Machine premium for that township. In case the Buggies go to TWO different
townships, then the Clubmaker in each of those townships making the
Second Largest Club, will receive One of the Forty Dollar Sewing Machines. .
The Buggies we are offering are of the Standard Carolina Grade made
by the ROCK HILL BUGGY COMPANY. They are of the quarter leather top ?
description, and the Retail Price of one is $95.00, while the Retail Price MI
of the other is $70.00. These Buggies carried off all the premiums at the last
Georgia State Fair, and it Is conceded by disinterested dealers and users every- M
where that there is not a better Buggy to be had In the United States for the A
price. There are hundreds of these Buggies running in this section and they
are giving general satisfaction. They may be seen on exhibition at the mammoth
factory of the company in Rock Hill, or in the warerooms of different ^
dealers In this section, Messrs. Carroll Bros., or YorKvme; vv. narris &

TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
THE CONTEST BEGINS NOW and will come to a close on SATURDAY,
MARCH 20, at 6 o'clock p. in., sharp.
Each Clubmaker will be held individually responsible for the payment of ^
the amount due on all names returned by him or her. Where it is desired to
stop a subscription before the close of the Club contest, the Clubmaker may
do so by paying the amount due at the time of such stoppage. Where a subscription
has been paid In full, it cannot he dis<-i>ntliiued. The Clubmaker. (
however, may, if he sees proper, transfer the unfulfilled portion of the sub- /
scription to another subscriber, provided the person to whom the transfer Is I
to be made was not a subscriber at the time the original name was entered on
our books. ^
No name will lie isiunted in competition for u premium until the subscription
price lias been paid, nor will any premium be delivered until the
Clubmaker has either paid or made satisfactory settlement for all the names
on the Club.
In cases of contention by two or more Clubmakers over the right to a
name, preference will be given to the one who pays for the name FIRST: but
where both pay, wo shall not attempt to decide the matter oxeept by eroditing
the name for one year for each such payment.
After a name has been entered on our books, no transfer will bo |>er "'" "i
THio i? nnsitive and emnhatic. and where Clubmakers attempt to
make such transfers, they must concede our right to take such steps as may ^
seem necessary to protect the fairness of this provision. The Clubmaker who
returns names must pay for them. Clubmakers who try to return and pay for
names already regularly returned by others will be called down, especially
if there is evidence of an understanding between the Clubmakers. This is
not for the protection of the publishers; but as a guarantee of the fairness
of the competition.
Any and all Clubmakers will have the right to Get Subscribers Wherever ?
They Can. It is not necessary that all the names shall go to the same address.
The fact that a name was returned on a certair club last year does not give
that Clubmaker a right to return it this year.
All subscriptions must be forwarded to us at the expense of those sending
them, and we will be responsible for the safe transmission of money only
when it is sent by Draft, Registered Letter, Express or Postofflce Money Order.

the paper. Careful observance of this will be the means of avoiding much
trouble and confusion.

Premiums TWO WEEKS will be allowed for the working off of the tie.
After the close of the contest on SATURDAY, MARCH 20, at 0 p. m..
the price of a year's subscription will be $2.00, unless New Clubs are formed.
