that the facts may be known.

NEW YORK, January 1.-Durlng the
greater part of the day speculation at
the Stock Exchange was characterized
by extreme duness. and, with rare ex-

to call for extended comment.
At the opening, quotations were frac-
tionaly higher, in sympathy with a small
advance in London; but almost imme-
dlately traders showed a disposition to
sell, partly in anticipation of vote by
the House adverse to the Pacific rail-
road funding bill. Union Pacific was
pressed for sale right from the start,
and, although London bought moderate
the lowest point, on the definite an

funding bill had been defeated. Tho

With better understanding of the
w 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 a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
Iy 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. It's beneficial
effects are due TO the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. II is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine artl-
Gle. which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. IL
afflicted with any actual disease, one
NAV be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
ased and gives most general satisfaction.

THE ALLIANCE IN LINE.

"The Alliances of the state of South Car
olina are going to be enlisted III very
short order in the fight for better prices
for the cotton CROP says the Columbia
State of Sunday. president Wilborn, OF
the Southern Cotton Growers association,
ecently formed in Atlanta, was in the
city for while yesterday.
"While here Mr.. Wilborn stated that at
the Atlanta convention he had pledged
the support of the South Carolina Alli-
ance to the cotton growers movement.
In view of this, as president of the State
Alliance, he would in the next week issu
an address to the sub-Alliances of the
state, calling upon them to hold special
meetings between the first of the year
and the second Friday in January, for the
purpose of taking the plan adopted by
the convention up and giving it careful
consideration.
"He feels that the Alliance will stand to
the plan adopted to a man, and he wants
the South Carolina Alliancemen to get in
line and help win the fight. just as they
did in the battle against the jute trust.
"The quarterly meetings of the county
Alliances are to be held all over the state
on the second Friday in January; hence
it is that Mr.. Wilborn will appoint some
day prior to that time for the sub-Alli-
ances to hold these meetings"

1T WAS HYDROPHOBIA.

There was a mad dog scare in the Del
phos neighborhood few weeks ago, and
as the result of subsequent developments,
it appears that this time the scare was
with good reason.
Along about the Oath of November a
black white and tan hound passed
through the country biting the neighbor-
hood dogs right and left. The animal was
finally killed by Mr.. VIM. Hutson, at
Mr.. Henry Miskelly's, about four and a
half miles south of Yorkville, after hav-
ing bitten one Of Mr.. Misk kely's dogs.
Considering the circumstances rather
suspicious, Mr.. c. H. Smith took out the
dogs brain and brought it to DR.. Walker,
who at once sent it to the Johns Hopkins
hospital for investigation. DIR. Walker
received report last Saturday to the eff
feet that of several guinea pigs inocu-
lated, two developed genuine cases of
hydrOphObia.
Shortly after his dog was bitten, Mr..
Misk ely had it killed, and Mr.. Smith,
who was in Yorkville again on Monday,
reports that although the dead animal has
been lying out in the woods ever since
and the buZzartls have been about it every
day, they have not yet ventured to touch
it.
So far as is known, all the dogs that
were bitten by the supposed mad dog have
been killed, and no other cases of hydro
phobia have developed in the neighbor-
hood

AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION.

Now that the smallpox scare is about
over, and there seems to be no immedi-
ate danger of an epidemic in our midst,
THE ENQUIRER begs to congratulate the
people of York county on the intelligence
and courage with which they have met a
test that was well calculated to try the
real manhood and Christian character OF
any community.
There is IN Eastern legend to the effect
that as the Plague was entering a popu-
louS city, he met dervish who barred
his way. After Il long parley the derrish
withdrew his obstruction upon promise
from the Plague that he would only kill
ten people. Three months later, upon his
return, the Plague was reproached by
the devrish for having violated his promise
and having killed, instead of ten, 10000

AGAINST GROVES.

The North Carolina supreme court, last
week, handed down the following in the
case of the State against L. F. Groves, OF
Pleasant Ridge.
The defendant was indicted for selling
whisky within less than two miles OF
Onley church, in CASTOR county, in viola
ton of chapter 179, acts 1885.
The defendant has a distillery more
than two miles from the church and
storage for whisky at his home, about
half mile from the church. The defen-
dant received by mail from South Caro-
lima All order for whisky and the order
was filled and the whisky shipped from
the railroad station near his storage.
Held that the delivery to the railroad
company was a delivery to the persons
ordering the whisky, and that such trans
action constituted sale within the pro-
hibitory territory and that the interstate
commerce law is not a valid defence.
