Vorkville Enquirer. 10th.
Mr. E. VV. G'.-ud of Bullock's
Creek township made this year
185 bushels of c.ro on two acres
of land without the use of ferti
lizers. Mrs. J. C. Burge was
called to Gastonia this morning'
on account of the death of her
brother, Mr. Thomas Smytbe,
who died at his home in Gas
tonia last nifcht of pneumonia.
Mr. J. McFadden Spann, has is
sued invitations to the marriage
of his daughter Miss Anna Bar

McKeown, the ceremony to take
iilace in the First Presbyterian
church of Sumter on December
19 Mr. Thomas Garrison
well known citizen of Ebenezer
township died at his home near
Rock Hill last Sunday morning
: t about 6 o'clock of paralysis.
He was 84 years of ate Hi
surviving children are Messrs. J,
I , J. T. and W. A. Garrison,
and Mrs . Cynthia Reindbardt,
the latter of Forest City. N. C.
The interment took place in
Laurelwood cemetery. Mr. C,
T. Crook of Fort Mill township,
who was in Yorkville last week
on jury duty, said that along
bout the first of September his
section was flooded with cards
from Theodore H. Price assert
ing that cotton would sell at 8
cents a pound by the first of
December and requesting that
the cards be held to that date as
evidence of the predicition. "It
has been suggested," remarked
Mr. Cook, "that all of us that
kept the cards get them up and
send them back to Mr. Price."
The closing down of the oper
ations of the Southern Power
company at Ninety-Nine Island
has had quite an effect on busi
ness over in the western side of
the county. While the works of
the power company were in full
blast, Hickory Grove, King's
Creek and even Smyrna felt the
good effects. The closing down
was principally on account of
the tightness of the money mar
ket, and it is hoped that it will
only be temporary. The power
people say they hope to get to
work again by the first of Febru
ary. They may be able to ar
range matters before then.
Mary Ellen Smarr and Jack
Good, two negroes, plead guilty
last Saturday to the charge
perjury. These are the witness
es upon whom the State lejied
some time ago to prove that
Will Bryant burned Mr. Luther
Wbitesides's barn. At the pre
hminary examination the two
negroes gave testimony that
would have been sufficient to
have convicted the accused. At
the trial, however, they claimed
that their original statement
were made under duress and
that they were not true. Be
cause ot thin there was no ev
idence aeainst the detendant and
he was acquitted. The witness
es were prosecuted on the charge
of perjury and convicted. The
court, however, granted a new
trial on a trivial technicality.
This time the negroes gave it up
and plead guilty. The circutn
stance suggests something out
of joiut in connection with the
whole matter. If it is true that
these negroes are guilty of per
jury, then does it not ionow mat
Will Bryant is guilty of that
burning? Under the constitu
tion be cannot be tried again
Anyhow, he is gone. He left
mtnediately after his acquittal.
and that was well. Where the
nefficiency of the law is proved
so clearly as in this case, tne
people at interest are liable to
provide other remedies.

West End Methodist Congrega
tion Sells Property and Will
Rebuild Nearer the Loray
Work to Begin January First.
The Vyest End Methodist
congregation has sold its boue
of worship on West Air Line
street to Mr. W. T. Rankin for
$1,100 and will tyiild a hand
some new structure on Frank
lin avenue at a cost of $4,000
The new edifice will be located
on a lot donated by the Lorav
Mill management, which also
generously donates $600 to the
building fund. Plans and
specifications tor tne new
building will be prepared at
once and it is expected that
active work on the building wil
commence January first. Ar
rjngements have been made
whereby the congregation wi
continue to worship for the next
five months in the old churcl
building.
This action on the part of tin
West End congregation is a de
cided forward step. By moving
the location of the churcb build
ing it is easy of access to mem
bers living both at the Loray
and Trenton Mills. New life
will no doubt be infused into
the work at this point and
Methodism will strengthen its
influence in this particular
quarter. The new pastor, Rev.
J. Calvin Harmon, is a Gaston
boy and is making an excellent
start in his new work.

years of age until 1892, when he
retired from the regular work,

of Dr. H. F. Cbreitzberr. form

Bad Breath From Indigestion
Cannot be Overcome With
Perfumes.
All of us suffer from bad
breath sometimes our own,
but oftener that of our friends.
Nine-tenths of this bad breath
comes from some stomach
trouble, and cannot be over
come by breath perfumes or any
other palliative measures.
If you occasionally have a bad
breath; if there is heart-burn,
flatulence and acid gulpiugs of
undigested food; if the stomach
burns' or smarts; if there is
sleeplessness, nervousness, head
aches or any other of the many
symptoms of indigestion, use
Mi-o-na stomach tablets and get
well
Mi o na is not a mere diges
tive nor a phMc, but a tonic
remedy that strengthens the
muscles of the stomach and
bowels so that the flow of gas
trio juices is increased, and the
food is digested naturally and
does not stay in the stomach to
ferment and poison the breath.
J. H. Kennedy & Co., have
seen so many cures made by
Mi-o-na stomach tablets that
they give a guarantee with
every au-cent box that tne
money will be refunded if the
remedy fails to give satisfaction.
They take the whole risk, and a
box of Mi-o-na will not cost you
a penny unless it cures you.

FINE YIELD OF CORN.
A Cleveland County Farmer
Gives Some Advice 19C8 to
be a Good Wheat Year.
Shelby Star.
Mr. Chauncey C.Grigg, our
good friend and prosperous
farmer of New House, was ""a
most welcome caller last week
and talked interestingly on the
culture of corn and wheat. He
is recognized as one of the very
best and most farsighted farm
ers of his section, and between
himself and his good neighbors
there exists a generous and
friendly rivalry as to who shall
lead in. the greatest production
to the smallest acreage. Mr.
triirt "id that in a ten-acre
field of corn he counted 720
stalks of corn in one row from
which he gathered 1,811 cars
He advises the planting of
"doubled eared" corn, and
guarantees an increa e of from
five to ten bushels per acre
rle propnesies that next year
will be an uncommonly good
wheat year, and backs up his
prophency with , these infallible
signs: "Those who formerly
sowed early are now sowing
late, and those who heretofore
sowed Jate are now sowing
early," a sorter "getting 'em a
comm and gwme" performance
He furthermore adds that he
is not iu the race this -vear, h
is content to rest upon his well
earned laurels until some of the
other competitors catch up
with him. He says when they
beat raising- cotton, corn and
wneat, he win get in the race
again. So it is up to "his farmer
neighbors to bestir themselves
and get Brother Grigg to hum
ming agaiu lest bis enforced
ease-taking result injuriously to
him.
