EGGS S28D: 82S!
BY LOOKING AT THE

TT is impossible for any one to tell as to
l. whether the inside of an egg is good,
bad or Indifferent. It's coat has to be re-
moved with care, before it's politics" can
be definitely determined as to whether or
not it would do for cooking purposes.
Now, Piano is very much the same, you
cannot tell anything about the TONE,
TOUCH, MECHANISM, MATERIALS
USED IN THE CONSTRUCTION, DU-
RABILITY, WORKMANSHIP, ETC., by
looking at the outside case. for every
Var9ish warn and and NEWSPAPER @ spa er' Advertising @ @ will will
cover thousands of defects in the tone,
materials and Observation-Disclosures that
lie beneath the shell or case. A Piano
that is perfect in tone, workmanship (in-
side and out) touch, mechanism. material
used and durability is gem of the musi-
cal world. Thoroughly believe the

ROCK HILL HAPPENINGS.

Personal Mention-Dr. T. j. Strait Passes

Correspondence OF the Yorkville Enquirer.
Rock HILL, March ll.-Mrs. A. r.
Witherspoon and Mr.. George Wither-
spoon have gone to Florida to spend a
part of the spring weather, generally so
trying.
Mrs. Watson, of Rome, Ga, has been
visiting Mrs. Susie 8. Sandifer, her sister.
Messrs. s. E. True, B. M. Fewell and
s. l.. Reid have gone North to buy their
spring goods.
Last Saturday, Hon. T. j. Strait, M.
c., from this district, passed through
Rock Hill on his way home. DIR. Strait is
q pleasant and interesting talker. He
thinks the ordinary Democratic member
has a very small place to fill in the public
councils just now.
The appointment of Major T. G. Beck
ham as member of the board of super
visors of registration in this county, is an
acceptable one to the Majors many friend
here.
In the kindness of their heart, the
police authorities have kept mattress in
our lock up. Ageneral overhauling lately
showed that someone had, concealed
in this a piece of plank about feet long.
This was certainly handed in by someone
from the outside to aid in an escape.
Mr.. w. n. Stewart, reading clerk in the
senate, and Mr.. William Whyte, who has
been occupied in the enrolling department
of the legislature, are both at home zl;a
At the request Of the managers of our
city markets, the council has made it inn
perative on all persons selling fresh meat
in the city to take out license for one year,
said to cost $40. 1t is well, perhaps, that
the legislature has adjourned, or some
action might be taken on this. Perhaps
the metropolitan police is preparing for US.
Mr.. William Oakman, who has been
engaged in the fancy grocery business in
Rock Hill for some years has sold his
stock and good will to Messrs. r. Fl.
Cowan & Brother. Mr.. Oakman will
make his home in Florence. a.s.

Investing
In a Poor Wheel

rs like furnishing the money for an un-
Il certain business venture; you soon
have the experience, but your money is
gone. The foregoing is written for the
benefit of those who have never owned q
bicycle but are thinking of investing
those who have tried it knew it was so
before we spoke. We know there is an
opinion abroad in the land that some
manufacturers of bicycles turn out as good
wheels for $50 to $50 as others charge 800
for, and that many people buy the cheap
wheels thinking they. are saving money,
but they soon find out to their sorrow that
they have been taken in," and that
large part of what they have saved is con-
sumed in express charges to and from the
factory in having repairs made and in
repair bill Is and in not being able to use
the wheel more than half the time. No
brother, or sister, you can't buy 800
wheel for less than 500 even though your
own father NAV tell Won Won can do go

FOR SILVER OR A BOLT.

Over His Own Signature, Senator Tillman
Announces This as His Programme.
The Greenville News of last Tues.
day contains two letters that are cal
culated 10 have an important bearing
on the politics of this State during the
next few months. The first letter is
from Rev. R. H. Reid, of Spsrtanburg,
and the second is from Senator Till
man in reply thereto. In his letter,
Rev. Mr.. Reid calls attention to the
fact that the Populists and Free Silver
ties have agreed to support the same
candidate for president, and he sug-
gests that it will be the proper thing
for the Reformers of South Carolina
to drop the Democratic organization
once for all and become open and
avowed Populists. He thinks that the
Reformers of the United States are
strong enough to win, and that their
candidate for president will be elected.
He wants Senator Tillman to at once
set about the work of capturing the
Democratic organization of South Car
olina for the new party. Senator Till
mans reply is as follows:
UNITED STATES SENATE,
WASHINGTON, d. c., February I.
The Rev. r. II. Reid, Reidville, S. c.:
DEAR SIR-I have your letter of Febru-
ary 5th and appreciate very much your
kind words of commentator. In order to
preserve the unity of the white Democracy
of South Carolina, we cannot act on your
suggestion not to send delegates to the
national convention at Chicago.
We have already captured the State
Democracy. Weare the State Democracy
