convincing language Of grateful men and
women, constitute its most effective adj

the people; have given Hoods Sarsapa-

have made necessary for its manufacture
the greatest laboratory on earth. Hoods
Sarsaparilla is known by the cures it has
made-cures of scrofula, salt rheum and
eczema, cures Of rheumatism, neuralgia

healthy baby until year and half old,
then sores broke out behind his ears and
spread rapidly over his head, hands and
body. A physician said the trouble was
scrofula humor in the blood. The child
became one complete sore. We had to
restrain his hands to keep him from
scratching the sores. We were induced
to try Hoods Sarsaparilla, and in short
time he had more life. He improved rap

Gladness Comes

With better understanding OF the
Wv transient nature of the many phys-
zeal ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due 10 the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
ali important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only ard sold by
all reputable druggists. -.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatlves or
other remedies are then not needed. II
afflicted with any actual disease, one
nav be commended to the most skillful
physicians. but If in need of laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

THE NfcGILL FAMILY.

That is an interesting movement started
in recent issue of THE ENQUIRER by
w. NJ, J. A., J. l.. and ]. N. McGill and
w. M. Whitesides, looking to arrange
ments on the 9th of June, at Bethany
church, for reunion of the descendants
of Captain William McGill in the near
future. Captain McGill died at his home
in this county, near Kings Creek station,
on the Ohio River and Charleston rail-
way, on the 25th day of August, 1868, at
the advanced age of 90 years and months.
The McGill family is one of the most
numerous as we'll as the most worthy in
upper South Carolina. It's centre, If we
mistake not, is in Western York but it
has representatives in Chester and Lam
caster counties in South Carolina, and in
Cleveland, CASTOR and Mccklenburg
counties in North Carolina, besides in
various Western States.
Longevity is one of the hereditary char
acteristics of the family, and many repre-
sentatives in times past have reached
great ages. The three oldest male repre-
sentatives of the family now living in this
county, are Messrs. William, Thomas and
James McGill, aged respectively about
sc, SO and IS years.
AS to the number of younger represen-
tatives of the family we have no definite
data; but we are assured that when the
reunion tax kes place, it will be one of the
largest and most notable gatherings Of
the kind that has ever been witnessed in
York county.

upon the city of Charlotte and es-
pecially upon the editors. Conspicous
on the editorial page was strong editorial
in support of the gold standard. The OBJ
server being gold standard paper, this
of course, is not surprising, but somehow
or other we are unable to disabuse our
minds of the idea that this editorial was
not purely voluntarily. We remember
that sometime ago there was gotten out a
woman's edition of the Atlanta Journal.
The Journal is also single gold standard
paper, and hates silver as the presiding
genius of the lower regions is supposed to
hate holy water; but Notwithstanding this
fact, the ladies published in their special
edition, free silver editorial that would
have done credit to Joe Harris or Wallace
Reed, Of The Constitution. 1t is this cir
cumstance that leads us to suspect that
when Editor Caldwell turned his tripod,
quill, scissors and pastepot over to the
ladies, he took care to make reservation to
the effect that do what they will, they
must not commit The Observer to the de-
based white metal. And here, no doubt,
was the inception of the gold standard
editorial referred to.

WALKED FIVE MILES.

Major James F. Hart had rather
unpleasant experience one evening last
week for a one-legged man. He had
to walk about miles with no other
assistance than walkingstick.. 1t hap
pened this way:
Returning from Glover in buggy,
unattended, at Allison creek, five miles
north of Yorkville, the major got out
to water his horse. Just as he was about
to put the Eridle UP again, the horse
started off and left him. The animal
was not frightened and did not 60 very
fast; but still, the pace was just little
too fast for. the major. The race was
kept up to Yorkville, the horse and
buggy being for the greater part of
the time in plain view. 1T seemed that
everybody along the road went to bed
an hour by sun that night" said Major
Hart to reporter on Saturday, land I
was unable to get assistance anywhere"
The trip was completed without mis-
hap; but as the result of his long walk,
the stump Of Major Hart's lost leg was 80
chafed that he was compelled to remain
indoors for several days, and to afterward
use his crutches until he fully recovered.

FELL FROM THE ROOF.

Ben Foster, q colored house-painter,
who works for Nelson Davies, met with
an accident last Saturday morning that
came near costing him his life. He was
at work on the residence Of W. B. Moore,
and while walking on ledge that pro-
jects from the base of the roof, stepped
On some fresh paint, slipped and fell
to the ground, a distance of about 25
feet. The greater force Of the shock
was sustained by the right arm and
right side, and the unfortunate man
was knocked insensible. For time it
was thought that he was killed. He was
at once removed to a cool place in the
cellar, restoratives were applied, DR.. r.
A. Bratton was sent for, and in the
course OF half an hour or such a matter,
there were signs of returning conscious
ness. It was ascertained that no bones
were broken, though for all that the
injuries were quite serious, and Foster
will be confined to- bis bed for several
days. Foster is a. hard working, we'll
behaved man and will no doubt receive
all due attention from his white and

HooDTowN, May 25.-The Misses Cros'

the residence of their father, Mr.. A. B.
Crosby, last Thursday evening. There
were present eleven gentlemen and seven
young ladies. The hours sped rapidly
away mid the pleasantries of the occasion
until upon the near approach of the "wee
sma' hours" the invited reluctantly took
their leave with strong convictions OF
few hours happily spent.
"Some men are born great, some achieve
greatness and some have greatness thrust
upon them." Whether Benjamin Ryan
Tillman may be termed great man in the
common acceptation of the term is not fol
me to say but as born leader Of men he
stands prominently among the grea,
characters Of the present, so far outstrip-
ping such aspiring mortals as Senator
Irby, ct id genus omne, as to cause them
to sink into insignificance. What
stretch of the most fertile imagination il
would have taken but few short years
ago to have had the slightest conception OF
the rapid promotion and remarkable ca
reer of this lowly plebian.

Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
Rock HILL, May 25.-The echoes Of the
K. of P. banquet Lave hardly died away
yet, and among them sounds one tone
pre-eminent in emphasis and repetition,
1t is the note Of admiration given forth at
the sight of our Rock Hill girls. The
grand lodge came prepared for something
grand IN this respect and they we're not
disappointed and they expressed them
selves freely on that point. We would be
glad to have them again, and can promise
just as good another time.
The examination for the appointment
to West Point, now at the disposal OF
Congressman Strait, was held here Satur-
day and resulted in the award Of first
place to Mr.. w. Speight Adams, with Mr..
Herbert Dunlap as alternate. The exami-
nation was conducted by Prof. A. r.
Banks, Of Yorkville, assisted by Prof.
Moses, of Winthrop college. There were
five applicants, which you'd indicate too
great degree of indifference to place
offering such advantages
Mr.. Adams, the successful applicant, Is
son of Mr.. W. 8. Adams, deceased, who
was citizen of this county. He has made
good use of the educational opportunities
he has enjoyed. He was In attendance at
the Presbyterian High school for some

fine one, and we hope he will never fall
below it.

in favor of one G.. M. Mosely, Of Rock
Hill The letter Of advice was sent to
Rock Hill; but the order was paid in CO.
llumbia to one L. r. Farmer, who is now
under arrest. His confession Is to the
effect that he and Mosely together collec-
ted the money in Coluinbia by working
on the sympathy of the postmaster there,
and thendecided to apply for q duplicate
order on the ground that the original had
never been paid, They are both minis

books would not balance. The arrest was
made by Mr.. sadler Gillespie near Cataw-

will soon be caught, and 1t Is not likely
that they will receive much mercy, az
their little scheme bears every mark OF
careful consideration.
The shower which fell Saturday night
gladdened many heart but Like Q
Twist, we are calling for "more." No
one remembers such condition. The
gardens are injured beyond recovery, and
field crops have been affected. We have
hopes of blsckberries, however, and some
fruit. -
