Woman at the Telephone.
"Halloa, halloa!" shouted the lire
man on the engine house end of the
telephone, In answer to a long ring.
"Halloa!" came back In feminine
tones. "Is this the fire station?"
"Yes; what is it?"
"Well. I want to Inform you that
my yard runs right up to the walk
that runs along the side of the Cummingses'
walk next door"
"I guess you've got the wrong number.
ma'am."
"You said this was the fire station,
didn't you?"
"Yes; but"
"Well, I want to say that I'm trying
very hard to raise a respectable
yardful of grass and have lately
planted grass seed as far as the Cumminescs'
walk. Then, besides the
grass seed. 1 had it all tidied up and
made ready for planting bulbs, an"?
"I say, ma'am, you are mistaken In
the telephone number. This"
"Isn't this the fire station?"
"It Is; but"
"Very well. Now, I want to say further
that however careless our neighbors,
the Cummingses, are with their
garden, we are very, very much the
other way. In fact, a pretty lawn,
adorned with a variety of flowers, is
what I and my husband are looking
for next season, and we want our yard
to appear as well clear up to the Cummingses'
side as it is possible to have
it. Why. I wouldn't any more allow
a person to step on my grass seed
or"
"For heaven's sake, ma'am, what
has this to do with the Are station?"
"Oh, well, I want to inform you that
our house is No. 200 School street, and
that the Cummingses' house next door
is afire. Now, don't let your firemen
trample"

Eberlein, the famous German sculptor,
said the other day in New York,
that in beauty of face and figure the
American woman excelled all others?
that the American type of beauty approached
almost absolute perfection.
"In intelligence as well," the sculptor
resumed, "the American woman
excels. But now and then she has the
defect of the intelligent?she is overpositive,
she is overconfident. In that
case I like to see her taken down.
"I once met a beautiful and brilliant
Ameriean woman on shipboard. She
talked splendidly, but she was very
positive?positive, Indeed.
" 'I am a good reader of faces,' she
said one day at luncheon. 'On first
sight of a person I form my opinion
of that person's character, and I am
never wrong. I am positively never
wrong.'
" 'Mother,' her little boy called shrilly
from the other end of the long table,
where he sat with his nurse.
" 'Well, what is it, my son?' said the
mother, indulgently.
"And we all turned to hear what
the little fellow had to say.

know what was your opinion, mother,

A Poor Crop.
It was on a lonely road In the Tennessee
mountains. A weary rider was
slowly making his way up the steep
mountain side, pausing now and then
to rise in his stirrups and look about
in search of some sign of civilization.
Suddenly a turn of the road brought
him face to face with a lank, sallowfaced
mountaineer, seated upon the top
rail of the snake fence which bounded
a poor little farm which had found
lodgment on the mountainside.
The rider paused. "Can you tell me
how far it is to Big Stone Gap?" he
inquired.
The mountaineer's lips moved in answer,
but no sound reached the rider's
ears. He moved over nearer to the
fence and repeated the question. This
time he could barely distinguish a
whispered word or two in the farmer's
answer.
"What's the matter with you?" he
Inquired, dismounting and walking over
to the fence where the old man sat.
"Can't you talk?"
The old man looked pityingly at his
questioner for a moment, and then,
climbing down from his seat on the
rail, he walked up to the traveler, and
putting his grizzled face close to his
ear. whispered hoarsely:
"Yls, I kin talk, but the fact is.
stranger, land is so poor in these parts
that I kain't even raise my voice."?

The Vote In Berks.?"The finest
political speech I ever heard," said a
Pittsburg man, "was made by a German
farmer up in Berks county. Pa.
"There was a meeting in a country
school house and after the speeches a

few remarks. He said: "Fellow citizens:

a Valuable Milestone.?a well
known novelist was touring through
Lancashire in order to learn something
of the lives of the inhabitants when
he came upon an old man breaking
stone on the roadside and, thinking
he might gain some knowledge from
him, addressed him thus:
"How far is it to Fleetwood, my
man ?"
"You'll see a milestone a bit farther
on," was the gruff reply.
"What's the use, if I can't read?"
said the novelist, eager to draw the old
man into a conversation.
"Then it'll Just suit you, for there's
nowt on it," said the old fellow.?London

was one of the impressionist school.
He had just given the last touches to
a purple and blue canvas when his
wife came into the studio.
"My dear," said he, "that Is the
landscape I wanted you to suggest a
title for."
"Why not call it 'Home?'" she said
after a long look.
"'Home'? Why?"
"Because there's no place like it,"
sne replied, meekly.?Glasgow Times.

Lantern, December 8: The Baptist
convention convenes in Union this
morning. The ministers' meeting was
neld yesterday afternoon and the convention
will be formally called to order
this morning. The Rev. J. S. Snyder,
Mr. Paul L. Coogler, Capt. W. H. Edwards
and Col. E. T. Atkinson are in
attendance on the meetings of-the convention
as delegates of the Baptist
church of this city. The Rev. Mr.
Sanders, who is at the home of Mr.
W. \V. Coogler will likely go over in
the morning Messrs. Joseph Lindsay.
Jim Save and Walter Simpson left
jn No. 29 over the Southern yesterday
morning for Charleston to attend the
Grand Lodge of Masons, which meets
in that city this week. Mr. Lindsay
will stop over in Orangeburg on business
and will then go on to Charleston.
Saturday morning the body of a
negro woman was found in a well on
Will Babcock's place, on the Saluda
road about two miles from the city.
The coroner was notified and he had
Dr. Johnson to examine the body but
no evidence of foul play was found.
The woman was the mother of John
Walker, who is at the present time
working at the Falls. The well had
been filled up almost and was only
about two feet but it contained water.
The woman evidently wandered into
the well and as she was old it was
probably impossible for her to have
much strength and hence she was unable
to get out. It is said that the
woman lived in her house alone and
one morning not long since she was
found in her house almost frozen
The work of building the city postoffice
building is progressing very
slowly. The actual work commenced
in July and up to the present, the
7th, the building is about one-third r
completed. Some of the citizens were
figuring the other day just how long
with the present rate it would take to
finish the building. One man figured
that it would be about three years
and another two. But all agreed that
unless the speed of building was accelerated
it would take a long time
to finish the postoffice. It is said
'hat last week that the Blue Ridge
'^instruction company, of Asheville,
who have the contract for the erection
if the building, had only one mason
at work. Then too. some of the material
was condemned. Mr. Price, the
Toverninent representative is pushing
the work all he can and wants to see
the building completed as soon as possible.
It is hoped that the Blue Ridge
Construction company will get a move
>n them and let the citizens of Chester
get a sight of what their postoffice
building will look like.

Mr. Lee McManus, a well known and
highly esteemed citizen of Taxahaw,
died Monday. He had been afflicted
with dropsy for about two years. He
was a good man and enjoyed the confidence
and friendship of all who knew
him. He was a Confederate veteran,
having served in the artillery branch
of the service during the war. He
made an excellent soldier and his old
comrades will be pained to hear of his
death. Mr. McManus was about 68
years of age and leaves a widow, who
was Miss Missouri Cook, an aunt of
Mr. John A. Cook of Lancaster, and
the following children: Messrs. Thomas,
George, John and William McManus,
Mrs. Mary Adams, Mrs. Martha
Adams and Mrs. Hattie Roberts, all of
this countv. The remains of Mr. McManus
were buried yesterdav at the
R'ackmon graveyard In the vicinity of
Taxahaw.
Negro Education.?Hon. j. e.
cwearingen. state superintendent of
education-elect. In an address before
the St. Andrew's society of Charles
ton a few night ago. made a strong
argument for negro education.
He did not advocate Indiscriminate
education, and In the course of his address
he emphasized the fact that
there "is a great gulf fixed between the
I white and negro races, which neither
may pass," but he made the point that
the negroes must be educated along
right lines If we are to expect them to
I obey the laws, to be safe citizens. If
education Is good for the whites, he
said, it is good for the negroes. The
white people owe it to themselves
quite as much as to the negroes to see
that negro children get education along
sound and sensible lines.
It is not at all surprising that a man
like Mr. Swearingen should take this
view of the matter, but it Is refreshing
to have him give utterance to his
views. They are much at variance
with recent utterances of some politicians
in the state?men of quite a different
calibre, and it is a pleasure to
find a man in Mr. Swearlngen's position
going on record in such a sensible
and independent manner.?Anderson

HIDDEN DANGERS.
Nature Gives Timely Warnings That
No Yorkville Citizen Can Afford
to Ignore.
DANGER SIGNAL No. I comes from
the kidney secretions. They will warn
you when the kidneys are sick. Well
kidneys excrete a clar, amber fluid.
Sick kidneys send out a thin, pale and
foamy, or a thick, red. ill-smelling
urine, full of sediment and Irregular of
passage.
DANGER SIGNAL No. 2 conies from
the back. Rack pains, dull and heavy,
or sharp and acute, tell you of sick
kidneys and warn you of the coming
of dropsy, diabetes and Bright's disease.
Doan's Kidney Rids cure sick
aiuneys and cure tnem permanently.
Here's Yorkville proof:
Mr. R. J. Mackorell, living on Main
St., X OI'KVllie, O. u, says: for over a
year I suffered from attacks of backache
and pains through the region of
my kidneys. The secretions were not
aiways natural in appearance, and 1
decided, to try a reliable kidney remedy,
thinking that my trouble arose
from these organs. Since I began using
Di.an's Kidney Pills which I procured
at the York Drug Store, I am
feeling a great deal better. The pains
have disappeared, and I have been free
from that dud miserable feeling. I do
not hesitate to recommend Doan's Kidney
Pills as a reliable remedy."

TIIE YORKVfLLE ENQUIRER IS THE MOST THOROUGHGOING
FAMILY NEWSPAPER IX 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 TWO
THOUSAND PAID SUBSCRIBERS.
The premiums offered by the publishers of THE ENQUIRER for the

TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
THE CONTEST BEGINS NOW and will come to a close on SATURDAY.
MARCH 20, at 6 o'clock p. ill., 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 sub- /
scrlption has been paid In full, it cannot be discontinued. The Clubmaker. &
however, may, if he sees proper, transfer the unfulfilled portion of the sub- m
scrlption to another subscriber, provided the person to whom the transfer Is r
to be made was not a subscriber at the time the original name was entered on
our books. 4%
No name will be 00011(1*41 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 Clubmakcrs over the right to a
name, preference will be given to the one who pays for the name FIRST: but
where both pay, we shall not attempt to decide the matter except by crediting
the name for one year for each such payment.
After a name has been entered on our books, no transfer will be permitted.
This is positive and emphatic, and where Ciubmakers 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 M
returns names must pay for them. Ciubmakers who try to return and pay for w
names already regularly returned by others will be called down, especially
if there is evidence of an understanding between the Ciubmakers. This is
not for the protection of the publishers; hut as a guarantee of the fairness
of the competition.
Any and all Ciubmakers 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 certain 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.
In sending names. Always give correct name or initials, nnd present postollice
address, and if possible say whether the subscribers are NOW taking
the paper. Careful observance of this will he the means of avoiding much
trouble and confusion.

Premiums TWO WEEKS will he allowed for the working off of the tie.
After the close of the contest on SATURDAY, MARCH 20, at 6 p. m., ?
the price of a year's subscription will be $2.00, unless New Clubs are formed. "
