Captured 35 Ga'Jons of Whiskey.
An important seizure i f blockade
whiskey was made Sunday I
night by Constable T. A- Mills
and Messrs B. M. Farts and Chas.
Graham, at the hoiue of the in ter j
in Gold Hill.
For some time past citizens of i
(void Hill have known that the
"'tigers'1 were passing that way to
nud from the Catawba .dam, hut
heretofore have been unable to get
up with thorn. However, the much
longed-Tor o|>portunity presented
itself Sunday evening, and the
result was that thir y-five gallons
of whiskey, a horse, aiul a one- j
horse wagon were seized.
The capture was brought altout
in this way. Late Sunday afternoon
two while men drove up to
the home of Mr. Graham, 3 miles
north of Fort Mill, and asked him ,
to take eliarge of their team over }
night, staling that their horse was
completely fagged and was unable |
to haul the wagon farther. The \
strangers said they were on their i
way to the dam to work nud that
the wagon was loaded with tools.
Mr. Graham agreed to core for
the team and the strangers, after ;
offering him a drink of whiakev
and assu"iug hint that tney would
return Monday and pay hint well
for his trouhie, left on foot in the
dimotion of the dam.
Scarcely had these men passed
out of sight when Mr. B. M. Faris
rode up to Mr. <i minim's lioiue.
The latter related to Mr. Knris the ,
incident which hml just taken 1
place and expressed his belief that 1
the cargo consisted of whiskey, j
The meti thereupon made a search
of the wagon and found therein
one barrel, one keg. and a box of
Husks, all filled with whiskey and ;
inclosed in a large goods box !
The men then returned to the 1
house and it was agreed that Mr.
(irahum remain at home to guard
the whiskey, while Mr. Faris came
to town to notify Constable Mills.
This plan was carried out and the
team and whiskey were brought
to town and locked up.

Who &*?*d the Shave Tailed Horse?
According to the Waxlinw Enterprise,
Mr. J. W. Hall, of Marvin,]
says that the papers have tnisrep- !
resented him in saying tliat lie re-j
cently drove a horse, with its tail1
closely shaved, through the streets
of Port Mill. It was not Mr. Hall, j
but another who thus furnished 1
amusement to the people of that !
village. While the report did not
originate with the Enterpiise, it
was copied in these columns from
another pajier, and we gladly make i
the eoirection.
The above little story first ap- i
peared in tilt) Charlotte Observer !
in a eornninnieation from Fort :
Mill. It was then published in The
Time*?, ami the joke being" of an
unusual nature, was copied in a
number of papers. If tin* horse I
spoken of was not the property of
Mr. Hall, The Times takes pleas-I
ure in correcting its statement.
Bad Weather Ahead.
With the close of January, ac- i
cording to Rev. Irl K. I neks' almanac
for 1!>03. which is one of
the leading authorities on weather |
forecasts comes the most severe,
weather of ,the season. Professor
Hicks' calculations have been ic- ,
markably accurate, and we fear
that they will lie too true for our
comfort in this instance. He says
that February will be noted for
for its general bad weather, and
that in addition to heavy cold
rains, and freezing weather, there'
will be snow storms and and all
kinds of had weather. Watch and
s'*o ir 11 icks uon t calculate correctly,
and in the meantime replenish
your woodpile.
Chester's Heroic Deed.
Mr. T. \V. Whitesides, of Edjjemore,

the Rock Mill Herald. He was a

as a memorandum of the number
of troops furnished the Confederate
armies hy Chester county from
1861 to 18155, as per a statement
recently utiven him by Mayor \V.
II. Hardin. It will be interesting
to our readers and wo reproduce it
below:

The First Hundred Dollars.
A rich mini who died not long
ago stud that (lie hardest pari of
making a fortune was the saving
of the tiist hundred (h ilars. That
is to say, when a I toy or young
mail has succeeded in putting aside
one hundred dollars, he has formed
the habit of prudence and ocoii- i
orny and alter that the way ife
easier
You hoys who are starting life
for yourselves should start ?i hunk
account at the same time. It does
not matter particuhufj how much
you lay aside at first, so that you
lav aside something, and do it regularly.
The boy who starts in by
sp 'tiding every penny he earns will
have a hard struggle to compter
that hahit, no mailer how large his
sal try becomes. And if lie starts
by saving a little it will soon he
easier to put aside something from
his weekly earnings than not to do
it. Your bank account may he in
significant, viewed merely as a
matter of dollars and cents, but it is
bigger than it sounds. Not oul\ is
it laying the foundation for tinan
uial indipondent?e. but it in a i-ateKlinrd
against (he evtrava^unt hahitm
which lead no many yountr uicn
into riissnpation and dishonesty.? '

JJear Mrs. Person: A good while
back my health commenced failing I
uuil I got in a low condition. I was
always tired; with*poorappetite, so
t.ired always that I did not feel
| equal to any exertion at all. I had
enlarged glands on the neck which
S were very sore and when I would
take cohl they would enlarge and
cimuws me much sutfering, 1 often
had s|s'lls of inflammatory rheumatism
which alfected the whole of
my i!x?*y and rendered me helpless.
I tried medical treatment, which
would give temporary relief, hut it
did not cure me. I tried vurious
patent preparations, but they did
me no-jrood. At last a friend per,
suudud Jue to use
Mrs. Joe Person's
Remedy : :
I W'lgVit a half -dozen bottles, and
taking it I felt so much better 1
that I did not feel like taking any
more. The next year in the spring
I knew 1 needed more and again
took a half-dozen. I took it in that
way until it has made a complete
.curt of me and my health is tine.
The enlarged glands are entirely
cured, rheumatism entirely cured,
and I am now in stout, robust
health, ami I advise, everybody who
needs a tonic or are "run down" to
use Mrs. Joe Person's Remedy.
