THE FLOODS.

The fear that large area would be over
flowed by the Mississippi seems to be real
lied, though as yet that section has not
sustained as great damage as was first ap-
pretended. The levee broke at Panther
Forest, fifteen miles below Arkansas City,
on the Arkansas side, last Saturday. The
creyasse is one hundred and fifty yards
wide, and from it the water will overflow a
large section of country and passing into
Beouf River find an outlet in the Ouachita.
In consequence of water being over the
track at Bakers Creek on the Vicksburg
and Mississippi Railway, trains for the east
are DELAYED. The overflow was caused by
heavy rains on Friday night. BackWater
slightly overfiOwed the track of the Nlcks-
burg, Shreveport and Pacific Railroad be-
tween Delta and MOendin in several places,
but trains are still running. 1t is, however,
a question of only a few days when they
will be compelled to stop.
A Vicksburg dispatch of Monday says:
The Illawara crevasse is now fully a mile
long and has overhowed large number OF
plantations. The water from it will cover
at least over half of the open land on the
west side of Madison parish. The Ashton
crevasse above Providence is alse doing Sc
rious damage to the plantations in east
Carroll. Much apprehension is felt for the
safety of the levees on both sides of the river.
The bridge across Bayou Pieere on the
Jackson and Natchez railroad has been
washed away, impeding travel.

DEATH OF PRINTER.

The Columbia Register of Tuesday an
nounces the death of Mr.. Washington W..
Davis, a well"known printer of that city,
which occurred at = o'clock last Monday
morning. He had been confined to his
room, by illness, since the 18th ultimo, and
was thought to be recovering, when, on
Sunday about noon, he fell from his chair
with indications Of paralysis, which terml-
mated fatally in about twelve hours. MIR.
Davis was one of the best known members
of the craft in this State, where he had
spent all his life of nearly fifty years, and
had secured the reputation of being one of
the most proficient of printers. For the
last fifteen years he was continuously en-
ployed as foreman of the Southern Pres0y-
terian office. He was a master of his busi-
ness, an industrious, sober and economical
man, and by his capacity and thrift had
succeeded in accumulating a comfortable
home and other property to the amount OF
$4,000 or $4,000. He had been for about
eight years a consistent member OF the
Baptist Church in Columbia.

DIED FROM A SLIGHT WOUND.

Mr.. S. D. Carothers, of this county, died
on Wednesday of last week. 1t will be re-
membered that last November he received
a slight wound under the following circum-
stances: While returning from his island
plantation in the Catawba river, the stream
being considerably swollen and very swift,
the fiat in which he was moving his wagon
and mules capsized or broke loose from the
fastening on the bank before the oarsman
was ready to start, which caused the mules
to take fright and jump into the river, car
rying the driver with them. The negro
and one mule were drowned, and Mr.. Ca
rothers received a slight scratch or bruise.
So slight was the hurt that he paid but lit
tie attention to it at the time, and from this
neglect he caught cold in it, causing infiam-
nation, followed by gangrene, which was
the immediate cause of his death. Mr..
Carothers was highly esteemed as an indus
trious, useful citizen. He was upwards OF
GO wears of age.

KIND WORDS.

j. We extend our thanks to our brethren
of the press who have kindly made compli-
ementary illusions to the new dress of type
recently adopted by the ENQUIRER. We
hope we show no spirit of vanity in repro
ducing the following:
The last issue of the Yorkville ENQUIRER was
printed on an outfit Of entirely new type, this
being the third time since lS1Oi which, 1t has ap-
peared in a new dress. The ENQUIRER is the
best printed paper of which we have any knowl-
edge, and as household journal is second to no
country paper in the South, II indeed IN the en-
tire country. Its topographic appearance here
tofore has been so uniform and perfect that only
printers even would have discovered the differ
ence between the last and previous issues had
not attention been drawn to the fact: we con-
gratulate Mr.. Grist upon the splendid success
which has attended his efforts to give the people
of York county first class journal in every re-
spect. AS citizen Of the county we are proud
of the ENQUIRER and rs a printer we admire ana
honor itabove all the papers that cometo our OIL
tice.-Rock Hill Herald.
Our neat and excellent cotemporary, the York
Vile enquirer, has recently put on an entire
new DRESS and it presents most attractive aP,
pearance Mr.. Grist is Il model Journalist ana
stands at the head of his calling i'll this State be-
ing euualed by few and surpassed by none. The
ENQUIRER is an honor to York county as well as
to its proprietor. Enterprise.
The Yorkville ENQUIRER was so beautifully
printed that we had never thought OF that paper
as needing new type. AS a thing OF beauty, ltls
all that topographic art and pressman's skill can
make it. As newspaper it is all that the most
fastidious could desire.-Ab6euue Press ana
Banner.
The Yorkville Enquirer, came out last week
in an entire new dress making the third new out
fit in ten years. 1t has always been kept up to
the front rank in topographic excellence, sur
passing any weekly we know of in the South, ana
rivalling the gems Of art which our more preten-
tious city publishers give their patrons; Mr..
and the ENQUIRER is a monument Of excellence
which he may well be proud of.-RuthcJord Nv.
c. Banner.
The Yorkville ENQUIRER has appeared in an
entirely new suit of type, this being the third
change of costume by our enterprising cotempo-
rary since 1870. The ENQUIRER is the neatest pa
per of all our country exchanges, and at the
same time one of the best 1t is conducted with
ability, and is creditabe alike to its progressive
proprietor and to the community which has al
ways given it generous support.-Charleston

near Fort Mill, 2wild turkey gobblers, each

-Waddell, the free school certificate fOrg-

marked Liverpool, England, wherein he
states he desires to pay his honest debts,

brother at Doves Depot, Darlington county,
it would be settled.
- The trial of J. L. NJ. Irby, charged with
killing William c. Gilgore in difficulty
occurring at Laurens, December =, 1878,
commenced on Wednesday of last week at
10 A. NJ. and was concluded about 8 Satur-
day evening, resulting in verdict of ac-
quittal, the jury being absent less than half
an hour. A deep interest was manifested,
the court room being densely crowded every
day during the trial. Irby fled the State
soon after the commission of the deed, but
returned voluntarily and surrendered HIM
self to the authorities last December.
- Laurens Herald: 1t is said that the tenn
porary injunction recently obtained against
the County Commissioners of Spartanburg,
relative to the Greenwood, Laurens and
Spartanburg Railroad, will not interfere in
the least with the progress Of the work on
said road, as there is money sufficient in
hand to keep the work going for three
months. The case will be fully argued, on
both sides, at the approaching term of the
Spartanburg Court. This case will probably
60 to the Supreme Court, whatever may be
the decision of the Circuit Judge. We are
informed that the proceedings to obtain the
said injunction were mainly instituted by
the merchants of Spartanburg, who are dis
satisfied with the location Of the route in
Spartanburg county. This is probably the
secret of the whole business.

THE ARTICHOKE.

This tuber is beginning to attract the
attention of some ofour farmers as crop that
can be raised with h'profit for food for swine.
Its taste is something like that of the chufa,
and hogs eat it with avidity. Mr.. E. e.
Falls, of this county, has brought to our office
a sample of his production-of the Red
Brazilian variety. He planted halfa gal
lon on one-twentieth Of an acre, and the
yield as2Ol bushels-a finer crop than any
noted in the Agricultural report OF f1S79-the
remarks on the subject in which volume in
duced him to give it a trial. He is well
pleased with the result. One of the spec
linens brought to our office weighs 23 ounces.
The U. S. Commissioner of Agriculture, in
his report for 1879, sayso of the artichoke:
"The culture of artichokes for stock feed
ing is attracting much attention. They
flourish in awide range of soils and climates,
and may be expected to come into general
use for stock feeding, particularly in sections
where corn does not flourish. An lmpor-
tant element of their value for swine, is in
their availability, where the ground does
not remain frozen, during the entire winter
and spring, without any cost for harvesting"

WIGGINS' STORM.

Virgins, the Canadian weather prophet,
has lust discovered that he has erred in his
calculation concerning the March storm.
He still maintains that the storm will
occur, but not to such and alarming extent
as previously predicted. 1t will only cover
a narrow area.
So says an exchange. The facts of Wig
gins predictionsare just beginning to be un-
derstood, and are fully explained in the last
sentence above quoted. Wiggins is a mar
ried man, and the storm of which he is ap-
prehensive, and which twill only cover a
narrow area" is evidently an anticipated
domestic breeze on his own premises. We
predict quite number of ''storms," COW
ering narrow areas, all over the country
during the present month.

CONGRESS-.

The present Congress expires by limlta-

It is not probable, from the present outlook,
that an extra session will be called, though
but little legislation of importance was per-
fected during the session which, fortunately,
is so rapidly drawing to close. The Sher-
man bill to appropriate fifty million dollars
in five annual installments, for the support
of common schools, went over at Saturdays
adjournment, under the demand for the pre-

will be reached this session, the remaining
time ofwhich will be devoted to the annual

bale for the entire cotton belt, which is put
by both reports at 4s3 pounds. The weather
has been bad for preparations for the next

THE WEATHER.

We are already having a foretaste of
March-the most disagreeable month of the
year. Monday and Tuesday, though clear,
were cold, "raw" days, and on Monday
morning ice formed nearly half an inch
thick. The wind and sun are drying off
the ground rapidly, and while the condi-
ton of the roads is improving, with no more
rain, the plows will soon begin to move in
earnest. With the improved condition OF
the roads cotton has been coming in freely
this week.
