should consider the following
questions which a Joplin, Mo.,
druggist put to his people recently:
Who sympathized with you
when your little girl was sick?
it Sears & Roebuck?
Who carried you last winter
when you were out of a job and
had no money? Was it Montgomery,
Ward & Co., or was it
your home merchant?
When you want to raise money
ior the church or for some needy
person in town, do you write to
the Fair store in Chicage, or do
you go to your home merchant?
How much does Siegel, Cooper
& Co. give towards keeping up
sidewalks or paying the minister's
salary?
When you were sick how many
nights did Hibbard, Spencer,
Rarlett & Co. sit up with you?
When your loved one was
buried, was it your home mer-1
chant who dropped the tear of j
sympathy and uttered the cheering
word, or was it Marshall
Field & Co?
Newspaper Subscription Laws.
i .. Few readers or publishers of
'/~ papers fully or clearly under- j
|& .stand the laws governing subscriptions.
The decisions of the
United States courts are:
'1. Subscribers who do not
srive exnress nntien tn tVu? rr?n_
irary are considered as wishing :
to renew their subscriptions.
2. If the subscribers order the I
discontinuance of their periodical
the publisher may continue
to send it until all arraerages are
paid.
1 3. If the subscribers neglect
{ or refuse to take their periodiI
cals from the post office to which
I they are addressed, they are reel
Sponsible until they have settled
^ their bills and ordered them dis- j
continued. ?
4. If subscribers move to other j
places without informing the
publisher and the paper is sent
to the former address, they are
held responsible.
6. Tne courts have decided j
that refusing to take periodicals
from the office, or removing and
\ leave them uncalled for, is prima
facie evidence of fraud. j
5. If the subscribers pay in advance
they are bound to give,
notice at the end of the time, if
the^ dp not wish to continue1
^ - teking it, otherwise the. publisher j
is authorized to send it and the
... subscriber will be responsible un'
til express notice, with payment
of all arrearages, is sent in to the
??&/ publisher.
NThe latest postal laws are such
that newspaper publishers can
cause the arrest of any one for
fraud who takes a paper and refliooa

Spartan Mill Hospital.
Speaking of hospitals, we see
from the Spartanburg Herald
tha* the Spartanburg Mill of that
city has just completed a magnificant
hospital, which will occupy
a three-story building, with
all modern conveniences, including
a library, reading rooms,
a lecture room, and bath rooms.
In connection with it, it is proposed
to have a training school as
well as a sanitarium, and in the
hospital, charity work will come
first of all, and an order for a
trained nurse, where there is no
money to pay for the services,
will be giyen attention in preference
to those who are able and
willing to pay for such services.
Some of the best physicians in
the city are connected with it,
and the president of the mill,
Mr. W. S Mnnforimoi-v lvou

pother Victim of Pickpockets.
Mr. Baxter Laney, son of Mr.
Wallace Laney, of Buford township,
lost $61 by pickpockets
while attending the fair at Charlotte
last week. The pickpockets
were very much to the front
there, but from the reports they
were little worse than the fakirs
fhat the fair licensed. It is odd
that the people who hold fairs in
i North Carolina consider it necesi
sary to have on hand a crowd of

Ne, 1, has just harvested Four c
acres ef corn that ne cultivated J
in accordance with the William- (
son plan except that he did not 1
use asf1 much fertilizers as Mr. r
Williamson prescribed. The fc
four acres were measured, and fc
there was no guess work. The d

The total fertilizers used included s
one sack .of guano and 100 t

Treasurer Neely came in to a
Yorkville last Tuesday night *
from a round of tax collections *
over the county and will remain h
here until next Tuesday. During ^
the time the treasurer had his ?
book's open in Yorkville before
starting around the county, he
coilected $830.06. While he was
away he collected $2,195.97, and
during Wednesday he collected P
$70.67, a total of of $3,096.70, v
up to yesterday morning. The j 3
total number of receipts issued '(
up to yesterday morning was 8

Tfie gin of Messrs. McGill j p
Bros., at Bethany, had a narrow j
escape from fire last Wednesday jy
afternoon. The origin of tne S(
fire is thought to have come a
through the elevator. Within j 2
a few moments after it was ^
discovered it filled the entire jy
interior of the ginnery; but jy
prompt use of water and the fire j,
extinguishing steam pipes, aided j
by the metal sides and top of jy
the gin building served to hold j.
the flames in check. The dam- j
age was very insignificant.
Mr. Henry Wilds was killed F

The town council of Yorkville \\
has ordered that an election be f
held November 20th to decide ?
whether or not the town shall is- t
sue bonds to the amount of $25,- ?
000, bearing not exceeding 6 per f
cent interest, to be used in in- r
stalling a sewerage system. (
While it is generally conceded [
that there is nothing in the way j j!
! of a public utility that is more \'
needed in Yorkville than an ade- j ^
, ffuate sewerage system, it is not | c
| believed by those who have a, j
general idea of theexper.siveness ' n
| of this class of work that $25,000 v
, will be more than enough to in- j ^
stall sewerage on Main street, ^
: and it is believed that the prin- a
cipal residence streets of the s
town will not receive the direct j
benefits of the improvement for , s
several years, or until the town ' \
i has grown sufficiently in taxable (]

! organized opposition to the bond j t
issue and there is every reason . ^
I to predict that the election will j j
j be favorable to the issue. i v
The site has been selected for i a
! the new Wymojo mill. The mill t
will be located back of Winthrop p
college, between the Syleecau j c
Mfg. Co.'s plant and the railroad \
on Stewart avenue. The prop- i erty
