emily had formed a very correct idea of his
abilities, urged him to forsake architecture
for literature. He did so, and his first
novel, Desperate Remedies, was en-
tirely copied by his faithful wife before il
went TO the publisher, in 1871. The novel
was well received, and during the two
years following Under the Greenwood
Tree and "A Pair of Blue Eyes were
presented to the public.
In 1874 Far From the Madding Crowd
gave its author place alongside the lead
ing living English nOvelists. Numerous
other novels have come from his pen and
have been printed simultaneously in Eng
land, America. Australia and India. =
few years ago his powerful novel, Tess, 4"
created great literary sensation
In the winter the Hardys occupy Lon
don fiat and the remainder OF the year are
travelling in Scotland or on the continent
or arc at their beautiful home Max Gate
at Dorchester. Mrs. Hardy acts as her hus-
bands amanuensis, is very fond of out
door life and is an artist of considerable
ability. She has dark hair and eyes and IS
very graceful and dignifled. Max Gate
was designed by the novelist himself. The
walls are covered with illustrations from
Mr.. Hardy's stories and pictures of liter
airy celebrities. Mr.. Hardy is fatalist and
can kill off more favorite characters before
he writes "finis" than any popular novel
ist of the time.

MAKING OF A NOVELIST.
How Thomas Hardy's Wife Turned Him
From Architecture to Literature

How Thomas Hardy's Wife Turned Him
From Architecture to Literature.
In 1868 an essay on "Colored Brick and
Terra Gotta Architecture" took the prize
and medal of the Institute of British Ar
chitects. 1t would doubtless prove dull
reading for the ordinary novel reader, but
that worthy would feel more interest in
the essay upon learning that it was the
first literary work of Thomas Hardy, who
has since won worldwide fame with his
truly great novels, Far From the Mad
ding Crowd and ''Tess of the D'Urber
villes." Mr.. Hardy was born ut village
IN DOrsetshire, England, June >, 1910,
and was educated in the same county.
Until his seventeenth year he passed his
life among the quiet country scenes so ia
Iniliar to readers of his books and was then
apprenticed TO an architect. His parents
desired him to become minister, but he
compromised on ecclesiastical architecture.
While engaged in the restoration of a
Devonshire church the young architect
met Miss Clifford, daughter of a Devon
shire solicitor, and the acquaintance ripen-
ed into love and marriage. Up to this time
Mr.. Hardy had never written book, but
he was strongly drawn toward the literary
world, and his farseeing Wife, who appar-

THIS is PLUCK.

The Morrow ginnery will be in op'
GRAFTON again within less than three
weeks. At least that is the outlook al
present, and the news will not only be
especially gratifying to the people Of
Yorkville; but to a large number oi
cotton growers throughout the sur.
rounding country for a distance offour
or five miles.
Mr.. Leroy Morrow, of Gastonia, re-
ceived the news of the burning Of his
gin late Tuesday afternoon by tele-
graph, and without any more delay
than was rendered necessary by the
railroad schedule, he hurried to York
Vile. The trip was not to see the
ruins, or grieve over the losses, how
ever. 1t was to make arrangements
for new gin, with view to resuming
operations without delay.
Nothing could be done on Tuesday
night, of course but, next morning,
Mr.. Morrow was all business. He
gave an order for the necessary draw
ings, contracted with Mr.. w. N. Ashe

No Lynching.
There was considerable excitement
in Chester Monday. 1t was caused by
rumor to the effect that big crowd
was coming over from the vicinity OF
the Halle gold mine in Lancaster
county, to lynch II Negro named
Charlie Lloyd. At the Halle gold
mine, in August last, Lloyd brutally
murdered young William Weesh. He
escaped to North Carolina, and was
afterward captured and btought to
Lancaster. There was strong talk of
a lynching, and Sheriff Hood deemed
it advisable to take him to Columbia
for safe keeping. On account of the
strong feeling that prevailed, his attor-
ney, Mr.. w. c. Hough, secured a
change of venue to Chester. Loyed
was brought up from Columbia on Mon
day, and on account of the lynching
rumor, the Lee Light infantry was
ordered out to protect him. The trial
progressed without interruption how
ever, and after remaining out less than
10 minutes, the jury returned verdict
ofguilty. The Lancaster Ledger claims
that there were no foundation in fact
for the story that mob intended to take
charge of the case.
Until January 1896.

be furnished from this date until Jan

THE WEEKLY AGAIN.

Beginning on Saturday, November 2,
we are going to resume the publication
of the WEEKLY ENQUIRER fthe same
size and shape it was previous to the
change to the present semi-weekly'
But we are not gong to make d step
backward. The semi-weekly will be
continued and the weekly will be in
addition.
The change from weekly to semi,
weekly last April, was hailed by many
of our subscribers with great pleasure.
They would have been glad to have
the paper daily. A large number OF
others appreciated the improved news
service but, at the sametime, they
were somewhat loathe to give up their
long time familiar friend, the old week
ly, largely from considerations Of SEN
timent. Now, nearly all have come to
regard the semi-weekly as great i'm
provement; but still there are some,
inconvenient to the postoffces, who
would rather have their weekly read
ing all in one paper.
In a matter like this, the majority
does not rule. 1t is altogether a mat
ter of individual preference, and to this
preference we propose to give ample
range. Hereafter, each subscriber can
have whatever he or she wants, weekly
or semi-weekly, at the same price-$2
year for single subscription, or $1.75
in clubs.
The publication days of the semi
weekly will be continued as now,
Wednesdays and Fridays-and the
publication day of the weekly will be
Saturday. Those who want the news
at frequent intervals, fresh after it hap
pens, can get it in the semi-weekly, and
those who find it inconvenient to get
their mail oftener than once a week
may, if they choose, take the weekly.
The service of either edition will be
full and complete. The only material
difference will be the frequency of
issue. Such of our subscribers as pre-
fer the weekly, will please notify US ut
once.

y With sales of something like 2,O0O,,
900 bales during the past week failing
to beat the market down over one-and-
a-quarter cents pound, the farmers
of the South are warranted in believ-
ing that cotton is valuable property,
and if they will just remember that fu-
lures won't make either yarn or cloth,
and keep off the market for awhile,
they will speedily bring the recent tre-
mendous effort of the bears, though
backed as it may be, by all the great
financial interests of the North, to
naught.

to 90 to work on the lumber as soon
as bill could be made out, ordered
two new Pratt gins from Mr.. S. M.
Grist, attended to other matters OF
detail, and then went back to Gastonia
on the II o'clock freight train.
1t seems that the loss by the fire
was rather greater than was reported
on Wednesday. In addition to the
other items mentioned, there was also
destroyed a complete outfit for corn
mill, and other machinery temporarily
stored under the gin building. The
total loss will aggregate somewhere
between $4,000 and $4,000.
Mr.. Pelham Morrow, who was man.
ager of the gin, no longer has any
doubt that the fire was caused by fric-
tion in the elevator. Shortly after the
other fire occurred sometime ago, he
geared the elevator so as to greatly re-
duce its speed, thinking thereby to re-
duce the danger from fire. The first
thing after the fire in the seed cotton
garners, Tuesday evening, he took the
band off the elevator pulley and re-
solved to use the machine no more.
"You can tell all the ginners for me,
said Mr.. Morrow to the reporter, on
Wednesday, "that if they persist in
using an elevator it is at tremendous
risk to their property"
Mr.. Morrow commenced ginning on
September 18, and up to the evening
of the fire, ginned 4O7 bales of cotton.
Many of his customers come as far as
four or five miles, and there were sew
eral instances where they came seven
or eight miles. They claimed that his
gin got more lint off the seed and
turned out better sample; and then
again, after the cotton was ginned il
was right at the market. Not u few OF
them say that they are going to wait
with the balance of their crops until
he gets started up again, and if the
price continues down as at present
they will no doubt be justified in doing
so,

Made Mistrial.
The court of general sessions for
Richland county, consumed nearly the
whole of last week in the trial OF
Thos. C. Aughtry, charged with the
murder of Conway B. Oliver, in Col
umbia last spring. The trial was
commenced on Monday and went to
the jury on Thursday. The jury re-
mained out 90 hours and finally re-
ported a mistrial. At the last term of
court, Aughtry was convicted; but
Judge Earle still had doubts about his
guilt and refused to pass the death
sentence on him. 1t is understood
that in the present case the jury stood
five for conviction and seven for &C
quittal. The next trial will be held
next March, and, Of course, will result
in an acquittal.
