BLEEDING ARMENIA.-A correspon'

Boston paper concerning the recent
Turkish atrocities in Asia Minor, says
that at Arabkir 1000 Christians were
killed and wounded, and that out oi
some 1000 houses of Christians, fully
three. fourths were burned. Into the
remaining houses, the writer states,
were bundled several thousand survi'
vors who were living on refuse grain
rescued from their burning houses.

Europe and America, so far as the
governments are concerned, is almost

News and Courier: The announce

crease on the present price of dispensa'
ry liquors may prove bit premature
It will be remembered that there is a
case pending in the United States su-
preme court involving the constitu-
tionality of certain phases OF the
dispensary law, and one of the chiei
arguments is that the dispensary was
monopoly and that it was run for the
profit of the State treasury. About the
time this case was made, the price OF
LIQUOR went down. Whether this was
merely coincidence or not is not in
question. But it is intimated that the
legal department would prefer to have
no increase in prices just at this time,
as it may unfavorably impress the
court. On this account the proposed
increase in the price of liquor may not

moreover, The News and Courier has
editorially pointed out strong reasons
why there should be no increase in the
price of liquor.

A CLEARING OUT SALE,
A Few Goods at Prices That
Will Make Them Move.

THE year 1895, with its many
pleasant memories is now rapid
ly disappearing over the horizon
of time, and no more will it be
our great pleasure to hear the
New Year bells of 1896. Still
there are hundreds and thousands
Of York county people who are
yet listening to the rapid ringing
of Dobson's low prices Of 1895,
and there are thousands who are
anxiously awaiting the ringing
of Dobson's LOW PRICES FOR
1896. Rest assured, friends, we
will ring them so loud and so
clearly as to proclaim "Liberty !!
Liberty, from the high prices and
shoddy goods of the past" and
we propose to stand up to the
ringing, and if the bells of liberty
crack we'll get some more and
ring the louder. We will shake
our bells and make them chime
this week so loud as to scare off
high prices, For instance
1000 yards of Outings of the
best quality at S, IL and 10
cents, that cannot be duplicated
for less than IN, 10 and 12H.
Just a few first quality Rubber
Coats at prices to suit the buyer.
A large stock of the world re-
moved and justly celebrated Har-
ris Wire Buckle Galluses, at a
price to suit the buyer.
Our entire stock of Enbroid-
eries-and its large and fne-ls

A FEW days ago sold to Mr. F. A.
n Gosman, the town plumbe one OF
my No. l, BOLGIANO WATER MO-
TORS, and on Saturday last Mr.. Gosman
said: II tell you that little motor is outer
sight. When got it, | had no idea it
would run my six gallon churn; but it
does it just as easy. 1t always took my
wife from an hour-and la halfto two hours
to churn; but it just takes the motor from
20 minutes to half an hour, and besides il
makes at least third more butter. And
for sewing machine, the motor runs it SO
level and easy, as to make sewing shust a
joke. My wife says that she would not do
without it for $50. a No. motor is large
enough for family use; a No. 2 would be
amply large for sausage mill, grind
stone or corn shelter" | can furnish the
motors i'm three sizes at s., $40 and Sl5
and Mr.. Gosman will put them in. See
me about it, or send for catalogue.

A Short Lay Sermon.


Another annual cycle has been detach-
ed from that mystery called Time, and we
find ourselves standing blind upon the
brink of the vast unknown. The old
year is behind us marked by harvests,
bountiful and garnered. While it bore in
its train prosperity and happiness to
many, it stamped the lot of others with
struggles and failures and sad memories.
But as blessings always outnumber mis-
fortunes, we have all been left much, very
much, to be thankful for. Yet, come not
back, o Time, for Notwithstanding thy
mercies which have been unsparing, we
would not bear thee again in our souls
and bodies. It is extra hazardous to look
to the past for eternal blessedness to come.
Who may scan his temporal or spiritual
record and say, "Behold it is good, very
good. I see no word or utterance that !
would recall, no thought that 1 would
summon back, no act that I would re-
voke." Presumptive creature. 1.-THE least
sin possible is the gospel to humanity /;
no sin at all is the dream Of an Angel"
A day, an hour, q moment is all the time
that we can claim. Let us look unto
that. When the sable curtains that as
yet shut out the new year are drawn,
and should we stand confronted by the
mysterious future, let US ask Him, "who
turneth the shadows of the night into the
morning, to guide us in all our ways, and
that we may be enabled by His help to
live righteously and soberly, act honestly,
walk humbly, be Christian men, manly
men, gentlemen, live at peace with all and
be .contented in that station Of life to
which il hath pleased God to call.

Gard of Thanks.

We have been placed under lasting OBJ
legations to the good people of Yorkville
and of Gastonia. The fire that burned
up our home on Christmas night, left us
almost naked in the streets. We had
left no clothing, no bedding, no furniture,
and no place to lay our heads. Kind ex,
pressions of sympathy and material aid
has come to our relief so generously ana
80 promptly, that we have been made to
almost forget what was to us heavy
loss. However unworthy we may be, we
realize that we are not among strangers,
for we can testify that the spirit OF the
blessed Saviour is surely here. Ignorant
of the names of all of our friends, and un-
able to thank them all in person, ON
account of their very number, we beg TO
be allowed to use this method OF express
ing our heartfelt gratitude.

late and before the "old fellow" gets
too far from mind it is with a consld-

End Of Bloody JACK blaoon.
Jack Bladon, the ex-dispensary
constable who killed Negro in Spar.
tanburg county some time ago, and
who has long been known as "Bloody
Jack" was killed near Johnston, in
Edgefeld county,, on Christmas after
noon, by John Buzzard. The trouble
is said to have had its origin in a
quarrel over politics sometime last
summer. The story is that the two
men met in the road. Bladon was
armed with a revolver and Buzzard
with a shotgun. Bladon fired first
and Bnzzard replied Immediately
The charge from Buzzard's gun took
effect in Bladon's heart, and produced
instant death. The regulations OF both
men are desperate.

And we build them 80 that they "kaint"

For as you all know it's mighty plain,
That the weakest piece must stand tne

Is only 'jest''
To make that place as strong as the rest.

Unfair Divide,

Unfair Divide.
The division of dispensary moneys for
educational purposes, is going to cause
some discussion in the next session OF
the legislature. Counties in which
there are quite number of dispenss'
ries are beginning to complain at the
alleged injustice Of having portion
of their liquor revenues divided among
counties in which there are no dispen.
saries at all. An equitable solution OF
the problem will be a matter of great
difficulty.
