Word comes from Btmnl that the youngest republio on the American continent proposes to.hold a World's Fair of htvown. It wants to: celebrate Columbus's discovery, and at the same time let the world knowhow republican institutions are working out there. The Brazilians have no idea of conflicting with the celebration at Chicago.

Their notion is that their exposition may be made an auxiliary to the Columbian Exposition of the United States. They propose toopen it January, 1898, at Rio Janeiro. That is the summer season in Brazil. After a months their idea is to close and transfer their whole exhibit to Chicago in time for. the opening of the Fair.

The Brazilians are anxious for the United States to extend them a friendly hand. They think the cooperation of this country will insure the success of their celebration. The matter has been informally brought to the attention of the State department and of congress. It is proposed to ask an appropriation of $200,000 for a United States exhibit, but no definite step has yet been tuken. following are the titles of sixteen bills'which the legislative committee of the Farmers Alliance of Kansas, will submit to the legislature, soon to convene in that State: "For an extension of the stay law for; a- pdriod of two years; a redemption law giving the mortgager three years in which to redeem land not exceeding 320 acres, sold under foreclosure; revision of chattel mortgage law; a law requiring the mortgagor to pay his proportionate part or taxes; a re-; duction of the rate of interest to 6 per cent.

with penalty of forfeiture of principal and interest for its violation a revision of assessment and taxation laws; a reduction of the Salaries of public officers; a reduction of State printer's expenses; school text hooks to be published by the State and furnished to the people at cost; revision of court offi-' cers' fee bills; adoption of the Australian i system of voting and the Crawford county i system of primaries; a law requiring rail- road commissioner to be the peo-1 pie i' requiring land sold under fore-1 closure to bring the amount of judgment and i costs; a law suppressing the Pinkerton detective or similar organization in the State I such a.reduction of railroad tariffs as will yield ah income not exceeding 6 per cent. 011 the actual investment." that a Baptist church should i be sold to pay the preacher, Chief Justice Bleckley, of Georgia, not long ago said "If! any debt ought to be paid, it is one contract- i ed for the health of souls, for pious ministrations and holy services. If any class of debtors ought to pay, as a matter of moral as well as legal duty, the people of a Chris-' tian church are that class. No church can have any higher obligations resting upon it than that of being just. The study of jus-' tice for more than forty years has impressed me with the supreme importance of this! grand and noble virtue.

Some of the virtues are in the nature of moral luxuries, but this i is an absolute necessitv of social life. It is! the hog aud hominy, the bacon and beans of morality, public and private. It is the exact virtue, being mathematical in its nature. Mercy, pity, charity, gratitude, generosity, i magnanimity, are the liberal virtues. They flourish partly on voluntary concessions made by the exact virtue, but they have 110 right to extort from it any unwilling concession.

They can only supplicate or persuade. A man cannot give in charity or pity, hospi- tality or magnanimity, the smallest part of what is necessary to enable him to satisfy the demands of justice. The law grants exemptions of property to families, but none to private corporations or collective bodies, lay or ecclesiastical. These must pay their legal debts if they can. All their property, legal and equitable, is subject.

We think a court may well constrain this church to do justice. It is certainly an energetic measure to sell the church to pay thepreacher, nor would it be allowable to do so if other means of satisfying the debt were within reach." Dispatches of the past week from Nebraska are to the effect that the executive of that State is in an embarrassing muddle. Powers, the Alliance candidate, has taken the oath of office and is said to have been recognized by the legislature. The new State officers claim that Governor Boyd has been duly elected, and in view of the existing doubt, ex-Governor Thayer persists in holding over until the Supreme court decides who shall be governor. In the meantime there has already been a serious conflict of authority.

Governor Boyd ordered Adjutant-General Cole to make such preparations as were necessary to protect the northern portion of the State against the ravages of the Indians. General Cole has refused to take orders from any one except Governor Thayer. Governor Boyd immediately declared the office of adjutant general vacant and appointed Gen. Victor Vifquain to the position. The State forces on the frontier now have two commanders, and it is impossible to tell which they will obey.

Boyd is the duly elected governor, but his seat is contested by Powers on the ground that he is not a citizen of the United States. arlrnUt YORKVILLE, S. C.T WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 14,1891. DEATH OF MR. A.

W. INGOLD. Mr. A. W.

Ingold, of The Enquirer staff, died at his home in Yorkville 011 last Monday morning at a quarter past nine o'clock. His death was a calm and peaceful end to six weeks of untold physical agony, ended with true Christian patience and resignation. Up to the moment of his death, his mind was clear and unclouded. Among the latest words that came from his lips were these: "I tell you, friends, if this be death, and I believe it is, alter all it is not such a terrible thing to die. Tom Paine and the other infidels never knew what it was to lean on the strong arm of the Saviour!" And it was with words like this that an earnest and useful life was last message of a noble spirit as it set out to reclaim the treasure that it has been piling up in its New Home.

His was the death bed of a Christian. Alphonso W. Ingold was born at New Salem, Randolph county, N. November 8th, 1837, and at the time of his death was aged 58 years 2 months and 4 days. He was raised on the farm, and after securing a good English education, fcmmeneed to learn the printing business when about 17 years of age.

On attaining his majority he was recognized as being one of the most competent printers in North Carolina, and having given the subject the best study of his recreative hours, he also had a splendid knowledge of practical journalism. Duriug the war he was editor rm? ana proprietor 01 1 ne i nknut, and conducted that paper with signal editorial ability until 1865, when he sold out and moved to Charlotte, N. C. He was married in 1860 to Miss Mary Jane Lineberry, of Randolph county, N. who, with two married daughters, survives him.

Mr. Ingold came to Yorkville to take a position in The Enquireb office in 1869. The next year he became editor, and has continued to fill that position up to the time of his death. Of his ability as a journalist it is unnecessary that a word be said. There are scores of readers of The Enquirer who are familiar with his work for the past twenty years.

They remember the hundreds of full, accurate and impartial reports that have been made from time to tim? the various matters of public interest. From week to week his vigilance and accuracy in keeping them informed on current events has been implicitly relied And many of these readers will experience the same deep grief upon receiving the news of his death that is felt by his bereaved family and former co-workers. Mr. Iugold's death resulted from consumption. For more than a year he had been in nrecarious health, but continued at his work until about six weeks ago.

when the end was precipitated by excitement and over-exertion occasioned by the burning of The Enquireh office. On first being stricken down he told his friends that he could never recover, and last Monday verified the sad prediction. A noble man is dead, and we mourn the departure of a faithful friend and able coworker. THE INDIAN OUTBREAK. Dispatches of the past week, up to Monday, are to the effect that the Indian outbreak is narrowing down to a crisis.

Within the next few days the Indians will either surrender, or precipitate the bloodiest battle that has been fought on the frontier for years. And at this distance from the scene of the trouble, the one alternative seems to be as likely as the other. The policy of Gen. Miles, the commander of the U. S.

soldiers, seems to be to avoid bloodshed as far as possible, and during the week it has been his endeavor to keep the hostiles thoroughly under surveilance without attempting te precipitate a His reasons however are two-fold: hopes that if the Indians are given consider, they will quietly come rentier, -uu. nic iuitc ui his command Ls so small of a pitched battle would be At present of Monday, the 4,000. They are within Pine Ridge Agency, and shov es from time to time. The larger portion of the troops are stationed at the agency and the rest have been thrown around the position occupied by the Indians, but are several miles away. The Indians are daily expected to either make an attack or surrender.

A slight skirmish took place on Tuesday of last week, near Wounded Knee, the scene of the former battle. A pasty of 100 Indians attacked a wagon train and was about to overpower the guard when a detachment of troops came up and put them to flight. One soldier was wounded and several Indians, are said to have been killed. Dispatches of the same day also report that Short Bull, one of the most formidable of the hostile chiefs, says he is going to take Pine Ridge agency if it costs him every warrior he has. Upon hearing this threat many of the half breeds and friendlies left the agency.

On Wednesday Jack Red Cloud. Big Road, High Horse, Lone Bear. Live Hawk and five other Indians came in from the hostile camp to hold a "pow wow" with Gen. Miles. The general toldthem that the only thing for them to do was to come in and surrender, and after that they could go to Washington and make sucn complaint as tney nau against tne government.

Some of the Indians are reported as desiring to surrender, and others are determined to fight to the last. In consequence of this division of sentiment there has been considerable fighting among themselves. On Thursday the Indians killed Lieutenant Casey, of the 22nd infantry. The lieutenant hud started out to visit the Indians with the purjiose of trying to induce them to come in and talk to Gen. Brooke.

He was in company with Pete Richards, a son-in-law of Red Cloud. On the road they passed two Ogallalla Sioux who were engaged in butchering a beef, and shortly afterward Richards, becoming uneasy, induced Casey to return. Before they bud gone back very far, however. Casey fell from his horse, shot through the head, and Richards says the shot was tired by one of the Sioux butchers. A detachment was sent out next day to recover the remains, and the body was found to have been stripped of all its clothing, but was not mutilated.

Sunday, the murder of Lieutenant Casey was the last killing that had been reported. Yesterday's accounts report no change in the situation. Col. R. A.

Johnson, general manager of the Three C's railroad, was in Columbia (luring the week. The newspapers connect his visit with the "suit of Mr. David B. Risley against the Construction company." Col. Johnson, however, informs the correspondent of The News and Courier that his business is of a purely private nature.

YORK COUNTY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION. Reported for The Yorkvllle Enquirer. Yorkville, S. January of the regular quarterly meeting of the York County Medical and Surgical Association, a called meeting, for special purposes, was held to-day by order of Dr. J.

F. Lindsay, the president. Dr. James Caldwell, of Hickory Grove, and Dr. H.

C. McConnell, of McConnellsville, were received as members of the association. 1 iw Under the head of "miscellaneous business," the act of the last legislature abolishing the State Board of Examiners, was freely discussed. The discussion resulted in the adoption of the following preamble and resolutions "Whereas, a petition was sent to the last meeting of the legislature, requesting that body to abolish the Suite Board of Medical Examiners; and whereas, Huch petition purported to have originated with the physicians of York county and whereas, such a board is now recognized as a necessity by the larger number of the States in the Union: Therefore, be it resolved by the Medical Association of York county, 1. That we utterly disclaim any connection with the above mentioned petition, and that we enter our protest against such action as being injurious alike to the interests of the profession and the public.

2. That, so far as we are aware, no member of either this county or State Medical Association appended his name to the above mentioned petition. 3. That we call upon the medical associations of the various counties of the State to endeavor to have removed an act so prejudicial to the interests of scientific medicine in the State. 4.

That the above resolutions be printed in the county papers and that others be requested to copy. Dr. E. W. Pressly reported several cases of fever of a prevalent nuture.

Much interesting information was elicited from the report. Dr. J. F. Lindsay reported a very interesting case in its peculiarity, to be discussed for the information of the members.

Dr. Hood, essayist for the occcasion, read an admirable paper on the treatment of "eclampsia, or infantile convulsions." Thfe paper brought out some interesting points, and was freely discussed by the various members. It was received as information with the thanks of the association. Dr. E.

W. Pressly, orator for the occasion, delivered his address, and at the earnest request of the association, it has been written out and is hereto appended. On motion, it was agreed to reduce the membership fee to one dollar. A committee of three, consisting of Isaac A. Bigger, W.

G. White and R. A. Bratton was appointed to investigate Dr. Koch's treatment, and report to the association at its next meeting.

The hospitality of resident members was extended to visiting members during their short stay in Yorkville. The association accepted an invitation from Dr. T. A. Crawford, of Hock Hill, to hold its next meeting at that place.

The association then adjourned until the second Tuesday in April. R. A. Bratton, Recording Secretary. dr.

pressly's address. Forty centuries ago this sentiment was uttered "Behold how good und pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity," and all the experience of all the ages has added testimony to the truth of Israel's sweetest singer's sweetest song. That association of men, however weak in numbers and feeble financially, whose members labored together as brethren in unity, has always been a power in the land. This evening, the central rallying this address, shall be, "We are brethren." Brethren in that grand broad sense in which all are brethren, the end and aim of whose lives are the same. The end and aim of our lives should be to gather up life's earliest and its blossoms and its fruits, and lay them all on that altar reared for, and sacred to, the betterment of our kind.

All such efforts ultimately succeed. The reason why disaster and failure seem so often to 5c that thi? afnndnniiit. iicim wui vuui vumv from which we view results is so limited. Could results but be seen from the vantage ground of eternity, how different would be our conclusions! It is my purpose this evening to let the light from this sentiment of fraternity, which we profess, fall upon some of the questions that are vexing us now, and see if in its light they do not lose much of their perplexity. First, then, let us, in this light, look at the "Black List," and though foreign to my general line of remarks, let me say of this matter that it is In order to a proper understanding of the subject, it will be well to give a definition of what we mean by a "black list." It is a list of persons who wilfully and persistently refuse to remunerate their physician for services rendered.

Remember, it is only those who wilfully and persistently refuse, who are upon that list. It is the special boast of our profession that the cry of the afflicted poor has ever reached our ears. Shamed be that member of any shamed be that member of our turning his back upon the hallowed traditions of the past, and forgetting the example of our illustrious predecessors, should turn a deaf ear to the call of the afflicted poor, because they could only be attended by a sacrifice of personal convenience I remark then, with reference to its justice, that it is only an application of the law of self-defense. The merchant recognizes its claims and rpfuses further indulgence to those who refuse to pay for past favors. The day laborer does the same.

Even the ministers of the gospel do right when they leave those congregations who neglect to provide for the comfortable maintenance of jthemselves and their families. It is no Kindness to any able-bodied man to work for him for nothing. If such an individual receives our labor for nothing, year after year, it is easy for him to conclude that he has right to it. From this conclusion that he has a right to the goods of the merchant on the same terms; and from this, that the time of the day should also be given to him and so, by your influence you have helped to make ofsuch an one a drone in the hive? a social public dead useless in time and hopeless in death. But to return to our line of thought proper, I say it is your duty toward your brother i to regard his wishes in this mutter.

By visiting one such individual, you take from i your fellow practitioner the only hope he I has of ever obtaining renumeration for his patient, conscientious services. And do not delude yourself. You do this without the I slightest prospect of benefit to yourself. Fori if he has refused to pay his former practitioner, he will ulso refuse to pay you. You thus, while not benefitting yourself, do an injustice to one whom you are bound by every law of common interest and every dictate of common honor to protect and evermore defend.

Again, from this promise of brotherhood I would draw conclusions with regard to our duties to each other under other circumstanI ces. Then; is an impression abroad among the people that for one physician to climb, it is necessary that he pull another down and unfortunately, too often, the conduct of physicians toward each other excuses, if it does not justify, this idea. This is all wrong. We are honest competitors and not self seeking rivals. That A may rise he need not lower B.

"If we have little of that spirit which issaid to raise mortals to the skies, let us show none I of that other spirit that would bruit angels down." There was a legend current among the an-1 eients of a magnet that was hidden at the hot-1 torn of the sea whose fatal power withdrew all the nails and iron fastening from every ship that came within the circle of its bale-' ful influence, leaving the proud vessel and its prouder owners an inglorious wreck amid i the solitudes of the deep. If we allow wrung-: ling and quarreling, petty jealousies and back-, bitings to take the place of the harmony 1 and brotherly love, the cordiality and eo-opperation that should exist among us, this legend of the olden time will have found aj practical exemplification in our day and in our case. Our wranglings and lour petty jealousies and buck bitings, will take from us our influence for good, will take from us our power over evil, will take from i us the respect of our neighbors, will take from us all that is desirable in character, I and leave us stranded, hopeless, worthless wrecks upon the wastes of time. Is any member of our profession in affliction? Have the winds of adverse fortune blown upon him And have the hard earned accumulations of years of honest, patient toil been swept away in a moment, leaving, him in his old age as helpless and dependent, financially, as lie was when first he buckled on the armor, and that too without the pride and power of youth to support him Or have those incomparably heavier afflictions more i than any financial out to him? Has I his wife, the sharer of all his years of who has mitigated his sorrows and trebled i his joys, been taken away or has he lost his child, the hope of the father and the pride of the mother; and does he set crushed and lifeless beneath his load Let him have your sympathies; let him know that he has them? tell him so. And as your message of condolence lies before him blushing with the beauty that radiates from a kindly sou), and redolent with the fragrance that distills ftom a sympathetic spirit, it will be more soot Id ng to his broken heart than is the sound of music on the waters when the has crested the billows with a silver panoply." If the world at large could be brought to a realizing sense that they are all brothers, and would live up to that idea, it woultl change even the physical aspect of our planet.

"There is nothing inherently polluting in the clods of the there is nothing inherently poisonous in the petals of the rose there is nothing inherently deadly in the breath of the zephyr; it is only strife and discord, with the other consequences of the entrance of wrong into our world, that makes these elements of nature the ministers of death unto us. Eliminate them and every watercourse will be lined by flowers fairer than the lily that grew by cool Siloam's shady rill, and earth's hillsides, now bleak and bare and gashed by wide sepulchral rent, will he carpeted with verdure and garnished with gladness, and emit a perfume sweet as nnv tUo "aniVv rwlnrs nf Aruhv the blest." Let men live up to the idea of universal brotherhood, and these contentions between labor and capital that are perplexing our wise men and shaking the foundations of our governmental fabric, will come to a I speedy end. And there will be a wedding of these two opposing forces in which labor will be the sturdy, honest groom, and capital the beauteous, blushing maid. From far out on the deep blue sea whence the shining waves are coming so gently to kiss the blooming there will resound a deep and solemn amen to sanction so desirable a union, and nature, meanwhile, on every breath of wind that comes off the frozen bulwarks and frost reared ramparts that guard the secrets of the polar zone," which is fresh and moist from kissing the pluming palms of the tropics, will be sending prayers for the future tranquility and happiness of the newly wedded couple. May the master of all mercies at his own good time, in his own wise way, hasten the dawn of the day of the consummation of a union so desirable.

In speaking to you thus I am conscious that I have told you nothing with which you were not already perfectly familiar. I am conscious further of having told you only that which each of you could have better told. But what will you have We cannot all be original and startling. For has not the wisest human preacher of all time said "There is no new thing uuder the sun. Is there anything whereof it may be said see this is new it hath been already of old time which was before us." If then I am due you any apology for having trespassed profitlessly on your time, you have it in the preceding sentiment.

Both of the young people have our congratulations and good wishes for the prosperity which we are sure will be theirs. ALMOST A FIRE. An alarm of tire was the cause of considerable excitement in town last Wednesday night. The cry was raised about 8 o'clock, and came from the residence of Mr. W.

T. Moore, on West Liberty street, the scene of the datnrer. A larire crowd collected inline diutely, and in short order what might have been a serious con duration was arrested. The facts are as follows: I)r. George Walker called at Mr.

Moore's to see a patient? Rev. Mr. Osborne. Upon entering Mr. Osborne's room, lie found it tilling with smoke, and upon dilligeut search being unable to locate the place from which the smoke emanated, went out and called one of the neighhoi's.

Some one in the street heard the word "tire!" and at once raised the alarm. After a portion of the tlooring in one of the second story rooms had been torn up, the fire was discovered to he among the timbers under the fireplace, having probably been communicated through a hole in the hearth. The flames were extinguished, however, before much damage was done. The loss is probably about $10 to the flooring. and perhaps $30 to Mr.

Moore's furniture. THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK. i The present status of business is most pe1 euliar. There is less doing than in mid-sumj nier. and at the same time there is more means at hand with which to do business 1 than there has been for years.

No one seems to be doing any business, and yet there apj pears to he but little uneasiness. The cause i of the hitch, however, is clear. If the price of cotton would just jump to ten cants, everything would go with a whirl: hut at the 'present time it looks as though there is a very poor prospect for such a jump. As matters now stand, the key to the whole sit nation is comprehended in the remark of one of our farmers on the streets a few days ago "I have thirteen bales of cotton. It has dried out all it is going to.

audit will not lose any more weight on my hands. The price can't go much may go higher; and if it don't, I shall not sell until I am obliged to." In all the history of cotton raising there has never been so much cotton on hand at this season of the year as now. In fact, the quantity still to be sold is as great as the entire crop of some years since the war. OF INTEREST TO TRIAL JUSTICES. From the Colombia correspondence of The News and Courier, we learn that on last Wednesday Attorney-General Pope submitted the following opinion on the recent trial justice act "I have examined the late trial justice act, and in my opinion the terms of all trial justices in the State expired 011 the approval of the said act, and tliat a re-appointment of those whose terms would not have expired, according to their original appointment, until after the approval of said act, is necessary to continue them in office." The correspondent asked Governor Tillman what he intended to do about the infnrmoH tVlilt lindor tllfl CirClim- IU1 UUU UO 1411U1U1VU VUMV stances, all those who desired the office of trial justice should at once make application for the same through their respective county delegations.

OUR NT3W SCHOOL COMMISSIONER. Until he can make more satisfactory arrangements, the new school commissioner, Mr. James Cansler, will have his office in the same room in the Lowry Building that was i formerly occupied by Commissioner Johnson, Mr. Cansler has appointed Prof.

J. A. Boyd, of Fort Mill, and Prof. W. Lewis, of the Yorkville Graded Schools, as his board of ex-1 aininers, and he informs us that he proposes to make no changes in the respective boards of trustees except upon the application of the majority of the patrons in the respective school districts interested.

"And," he says, "I want you to tell some of these trustees to be more careful about their business. I came upon some vouchers to-day that called for one thing 011 the outside and another 011 the inside. I didn't approve them, of course, and if the trustees had examined them as closely as I did, they would not have signed them." "ADDITIONAL PACTS." The following dispatch, dated at Leaven-1 worth, Kansas, January is going the round of the press. We print it not because it can either add to or take away from Capt. Wallace's laurels, but to show how interesting little stories are sometimes written "for so much a column." From the best information that we have been able to obtain, it is probable, that Capt.

Wallace never had the slightest intimation of the treacherous purpose of the Indians until he had received his death blow: "A letter from Pine Ridge agency details some hitherto unknown facts concerning the death of Capt. Wallace at Wounded Knee. 'After the the letter states, 'Capt. Wallace was found at the entrance of au Indian lodge with five dead warriors lying near him, each Indian corpse showing a bullet wound. Five of the chambers of the captain's revolver were found empty, and from the position in which the bodies lay, it is presumed that Wallace killed the five Indians before he was TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS.

Quite a number of our subscribers will fail to their papers this week. The reason is they have not complied with our request to send in the label off an old Enquirer, and we do not know who they are or where they live. Upon the subscribers who happen to see this notice but do not receive a paper of their own, we urge that it is very important that they send in their address labels, together with the name of the postoffice to which the paper was sent. It is important for two reasons: First, in order that we may know your name; and second, in order that we may know the date to which you have paid. The address labels contain this information, and is the only record of the same that is now in existence, so you will greatly oblige us by forwarding it at once.

A number of postmasters throughout the county have sent us the names of all the subscribers at their respective offices. We sincerely thank the postmasters for this kindness, but the information does not go far enough. It does not give the date on which the subscription expires. In such cases we will date the paper January 1, 1891. and make corrections when furnished with the information necessary to enable us to do so.

We request that every subscriber who receives this issue will examine his address label, and if the date of expiration thereon is not correct, at once send us the label off an old paper.

R. Y. Williamson Fort Mill, S. C. RKIiATIXG TO The following: circular, dated Columbia, I January 8, was received at this olliee on last i Saturday.

It explains itself: County examining boards of pensions are required by law to meet on the third Monday I in January of each year, for the purpose of i considering applications for pensions, us pro' vided for by the laws of South Carolina. I There were no changes in the pension law by the last legislature, and these boards are pected to follow the same rules governing the previous year. The law. as we understand it. does not contemplate a re-examination of applicants passed upon and approved heretofore, but county examining boards will receive new applications under the rules heretofore governing them.

"When all applications shall have been act, ed upon, then the county examining boards of pensions, and the board of pension commissioners elected by the survivors of the respective counties, shall meet together and examine the pension roll for such county, and se1 loot therefrom such number of the most needy applicants as will besullicient to consume the appropriation of such county, allowing to each applicant so selected the sum of three dollars per month from such appropriation, in selecting such applicants for pension the said board shall have regard to the physical 'eontfftion and financial means of such applicants, and also to the financial condition of near relatives of the several applicants, and shall, in every instance, select the most helpless and needy applicants for aid that can be found upon the pension roll. "A majority of the members present com posing the two said boards shall be neeessary to determine any matter presented to them, and a majority of each board shall be necessary to form said joint board. Where survivors failed to meet on sales-day in October, or in November, 1890, and to elect the five members of the board of pension commissionel's, as required by Section 76 of an act to amend an act, approved December 24, A. 1888, county examining boards are requested to report such fact to this office at once, and when such meetings were held and the five members of the pension boards were elected, report to us the names of such commissioners. "All applications approved by said county board, with the papers upon which they act, shall be filed in the comptroller-general's office by the first day of February of each year, to he submitted by him to the state board of pensions for their W.

H. Rllebbe, Comptroller-General. A NEW CHURCH EDIFICE. The contract has been awarded to Mr. James Manes, of Lancaster, for the erection of a new church edifice for the Baptist congregation at this place.

The building is to be a handsome brick structure of the Gothic style of architecture, and when completed will reflect great credit not only on the energy and zeal of Rev. R. G. Patrick and his plucky little congregation, but will also take equal rank with Yorkville's most imposing church edifices. The story of how the money that has been raised for the erection of this building has been secured, reads like the accomplishment of an impossibility.

The work was first undertaken in 1889, shortly after Rev. R. G. Patrick, the present pastor, assumed pastoral charge of the congregation. At that time the church had less than sixty members, and most of them were without a surplus of means.

But a new church building was necessary and it was decided to build one and while they were at it, a good one. A subscription paper was submitted to the members and they promised to raise three hundred dollars. This amount, though small, was big work for the congregation at the time, and it having been added to in every practicable way, it has grown at a most satisfactory rate. Mr. Patrick has at various times made a canvass of a large portion of the upper part of the State and secured a great deal of help from the Baptist brethren indifferent localities.

The children of the Baptist Sunday-schools throughout the State have raised five hundred dollars, and with these amounts, together with a considerable sum since raised in the Yorkville congregation, the building fhnd has grown to such an amount as will warrant the congregation in undertaking to erect the new building. The plan of the church has been selected with great care, and embodies all the requirements of beauty, convenience and comfort. In the proposed building the auditorium is to be 36 feet wide and 52 long, with seats for 260 people. There will also be a lecture room 18 by 30 feet, with ninety chairs, and this apartment may be opened at will into the main auditorium. The seats are to be on an inclined floor so that the audience may have an unobstructed view of the pulpit from all parts of the building.

There will be a baptistry under the pulpit, and a conveniently arranged study for the use of I the pastor, annexed to the back end of the i church. The bell tower, through which will be the main entrance, is to be seventy-two feet iu height. All the money that will be required to complete the work has not yet been raised, but the congregation thinks it sees its way clear, and proposes to commence work as early in the spring as possible. ENTHUSIASTIC FARMERS. To see a man thoroughly enthusiastic over any business is a genuine pleasure, but when agriculture happens to be the subject of enthusiasm, the pleasure, of course, is much greater.

A comparatively large number engaged in this business are more or less dissatisfied, and as a rule are not disposed to hold up for it. But those who are successful are always more or less enthusiatic, and their enthusiasm is a never failing source of inspiration and encouragement to the struggling plodder who is bravely trying to hoe out his own row. Mr. J. W.

McFarland, a young man who lives about two miles southeast of Yorkville, to nlu'Qtru IS one OI must luuucia uum II. Hi II HJ pleasure to meet. He is a farmer because he is convinced that farming is the best business under the suu, and he would not think of exchanging his business for any other. Mr. McFarland started into business about five years ago, down at the mudsill, and after meeting with encouraging success, such as is the reward of patient industry and careful attention to business, took his brother, R.

E. McFarland, into partnership with him. During the past few years the success of these two brothers has so often been the subject of remark that they are now recognized as constituting one of the mast successful business combinations in this vicinity. The older brother, Mr. J.

W. McFarland, was jn The Enquirer office last Friday evening, and we took occasion to ask some questions us to what the two had accomplished and how it was done. Of course Mr. McFarland gladly gave us all the information that was asked for, and for the assurauce of those who do not know the brothers, we do not hesitate to say that ull their statements may be implicitly relied on. We first asked, "What were the circumstances under which you started out "Well, I started out by myself, without any money, or anything else.

I was to get half I mude, and the owner of the land ftiruished the mules and tools and paid half of the expenses. "I cleared some money that year and took care of it. The next year I managed to make a little better arrangement and made more money. Then my brother and myself went in partnership and bought eighty-four acres of land at $1:1.50 per acre. For this I paid part down and we gave our note for the balance.

We made the final payment this year, and have bargained for forty-eight acres more. For this we have agreed to pay $20 an acre for seventeen acres, and $18 an acre for the balance. We can pay cash whenever we want to. but prefer tc have the use of the money ourselves for the present." "Well. Mr.

McFarland, what have you done this year "We made thirty-one bales of cotton on fortv-five acres with two mules, and $300 worth of extra labor. Of this crop, eleven bales were made off' of twenty-five acres of new ground, and the other twenty bales were 1 made on twenty acres. Besides the cotton, i we made bushels of corn, 40 bushels of I oats, and 25 bushels of wheat. "At odd times we also did worth of hauling, outside of the farm work, and so we are still $50 ahead of the expenses after paying for all the extra labor we used in working our "What about your you taking care of it "It is in first-class condition, and we would not take $20 an acre round for our one dred and thirty-two acres. We haven't 1 made any expensive improvements.

I'll adi niit, but we never hesitate to give it all the extra work that we have' reason to believe will help to build it up. Whenever we have nothing else more profitable to do. we put in our time hauling trash and litter, stopping washes, and otherwise looking carefully af1 ter the land. It is growing richer and richer, land after a while we are going to build it up to a point where we can get from one-and! a-iialf to two bales to the acre it." "Mr. McKarland.

what size farm do you think it would take to make you perfectly satisfied "When my brother and myself get two hundred acres of land and three mules, we are not going to ask anything more. We can just make as much honest money on a farm of this size as anybody can in any business with no more capital invested. All we ask is good health and fairly good seasons, and we will do the rest. We don't ask Providence to do it all, and we know he will never fell to do his part. I have never known but one real bad of I never heard of anybody starving that year.

No, we are just getting in good shape to make money now, and we believe we-can do it. We have our own stock and tools, the land is practically paid for, and what we make is ours." LOCAL LACONICS. Wm. Forbes, from near Clover, was committed to jail on last Saturday. He is under a sealed sentence for violation of the internal revenue laws.

Glenn arrived here yesterday, from Kentucky, with a drove of fine stock. The attention of all who contemplate buying either horses or mules is directed to his advertisement, which will be found in another column. Gib Garrison and Hogan Bryant, both colored, were, fined $1.00 each by Acting Intendant Herndon last Thursday. The charge was disorderly conduct, which consisted in "unseeming" behavior to the dusky damsels at a colored frolic on the night before. There was no morning service in any of the white chnrches in Sunday.

Dr. English had not yet returned from Sumter; Mr. Wadctell was at Lowrysville attending the funeral of Bev. Mr. Biley; Mr.

Galloway was filling his appointment at Tirzak; Mr. Patrick preached at Union; and Mr. Nelson was in Spartanburg. The Methodist congregation of this place has awarded a contract to Mr. W.

L. Goforth to build a neat parsonage on their church lot on Trinity street.

For some time past the darkeys of this place have been looking forward to a big rabbit hunt in which they were to be pitted against the guns and dogs of the Clover darkeys.

The hunt was to have been on 1 lust Friday, but tnc Uiover uureu come down on time according to promise. The Yorkville crowd, however, went anyway, and twelve guns and numberless dogs, caught and killed fifty-nine rabbits. The York Granite Company is about ready to deliver the last installment on its recent contract with the Washington Light Infantry, of Charleston, for granite with which to construct their proposed monument. Mr. Whitesides has only one more large block to split out, and theu all the huge pieces will be hauled to Yorkville, to go to Charleston by way of the Three C's.

Some of the blocks called for in this contract are fifteen feet long, and weigh about fourteen tons each. The company has telegraphed to Charleston for a heavy cart on which to haul them.

Mr. McSweeney, who was recently called to the rectorship of the Episcopal church at this place, is expected to arrive from South Dakota this week. Since the holidays business has not been as brisk as our merchants and business men generally would wish. Madame Fry's Boston Concert company, appeared in the hall of the graded school onlast Saturday. The music, both vocal and instrumental, was very much eqjoyed by those present.

The recitations were repeatedly encored. The graded school has opened for the spring session with an increased number of pupils. One firm in our town has signified its intention to take out a license for the sale of pistols, etc. Col. T.

B. Demaree, the temperance lecturer, is expected to arrive here this week, and open war on whisky. His lectures are to be delivered in the armory of the Catawba Rifles, and there will be some hot shots fired.

F. Banks, of Alabama. hal. LETTER FROM T1RZAH. I Correspondence of The YorkviUe Enquirer, Tikzah.

January school, with Mrs. Robert Hanna as teacher, opened again last Monday, with a roll of twenty scholars, which will likely increase to double that number this week. The trustees of the school dis; trict met last Thursday and organized by electing R. T. Gillespie, chairman, and W.

T. Massey, secretary of the board. The district will be surveyed and an election ordered for the levy of a special tax at an early day. Some of our citizens, we uuder; stand, are very much opposed to the special tax for school purposes, aud seem not to real' ize the benefits to be derived from a good school in their midst. Others oppose it, possibly because their views were not consulted prior to the passing of the bill.

But we ust that after a calm and deliberate view of the matter, no fair minded man will cast his vote against a good cause of 1 this kind, even if he can't come out and vote lor it. Such things as those are for the genoral good of the public, and not for the bcn'! Hit of any particular man orset of men. The illiteracy of our country is largo, and many of the poorer children would be deprived entirely of educational advantages were it not for the public schools and the provisions made bv our government. A good law it is that our last legislature passed regulating the sale of seed cotton in York county. It has gotten to be so of late years that after cottou got to be in the least light and scarce in the field, that you cannot employ labor at any price to gather the remnant; but after the holidays, plenty of pickers can 1h? found who will gather the remnants for the whole of it, and where this is practiced, there is jio telling how much other than the gleanings," or cracked as it is called, finds its way into the lots that they peddle around.

Also, we should thank our legislators for the act prohibiting the sale of pistols and cartridges, except under license. The habit of carrying pistols has got to be entirely too common for a civilized country. Mr. John McFadden has had his saw mill running here for the past week, ami we hope soon to sec some buildings under way.
