TRUE THEN-TRUE NOW.

THE following statement from Mr.. w.
l. S. Wilkerson was published in the
ENQUIRER in March, 1891, relative to the
merits and value of the GENUINE COR
BIN DISK HARROW. The statements
were correct then and are now:
HICKORY GROVE, March %, 1891.
Mr.. SAM NJ. GRIsT, Yorkville, S. c.:
Dear Sir-I bought No. Corbin Disk
Harrow from you in October, 1889. was
delighted with it the first time tried it.
I now consider it an indispensable imple-
ment on the farm. No farmer who looks
after his own interest can afford to be
without it. To give an idea of its value at
this time, when every farmer is so far be-
hind with his work, will say that | can
take my Harrow, with one hand and four
mules, and put 300 or 400 pounds weight
on the Harrow, and break eight acres of
cornstalk, cottonstalk or stubble land In
one day, and prepare 1t deeper and better
in every way than can be done with eight
mules and eight hands in the ordinary
way. have weight box on my Har-
9 inches wide at the bottom, II at the top,
and about 10 inches deep. 1t is fastened
on to the beam with bolts.
Last spring 1 plowed up my cotton
stalks and with the Disk Harrow and
two mules, cut the stalks and pulverized
my land to the depth of five inches at the
same operation, and at the rate of an acre
an hour.
Wheat and oats can be put in with it
much better than in the ordinary way.
One hand and two mules is all that is nee
essary to put in 8 to 10 acres day.
The best prepared land I have ever had
was piece Of weed stubble turned in the
fall and cut up with the Corbin Harrow in
the spring.
In conclusion, let me say that the Har-
row thoroughly breaks and pulyerizes the
land and leaves it in u porous condition.
Land that has been pulverized with
Corbin Harrow will not bake.
Respectfully, w. s. WILKERsoN.
Now, reader, do you know Mr.. Will
kerson? If you do, don't you know that
he is a truthful and honest man and one
of the best, most practical and successful
farmers in York county? Don't you
know-aren't you absolutely certain-that
he would not have made the statements if
had not KNOWN that they were correct3
If you believe what he says, don't you
also believe that you are standing in your
own light when you try to farm without

EXECUTED BY HANGING.-Tip, one
of the largest elephants in captivity
and the property Of Barnum and Bal
ley, was put to death at Bridgeport,
Connecticut, on the 10th instant by
hanging. 1t seems that during the
past few years, the elephant had be-
come very vicious and he was getting
worse. He had never succeeded in
killing anybody; but he had injured
several keepers, and it appeared to be
only matter of short time when he
would be likely to murder someone.
Accordingly the owners Of the big
brute decided to put him to death.

AN EXTRA LEVY.

Upon the construction the attorney
general may give to a certain prov 'ion
of the new constitution, depends the
probability Of an extra tax levy in York
county for school purposes. The provis-
ion of the constitution referred to reads as
follows:
"Whenever, during the next three IN
suing fiscal years, the tax levied by he
county boards of commissioners, or SINH
lar officers, and the poll tax shall not
yield All amount equal to three dollars
per capita Of the number Of children en-
rolled in the public schools of each coun-
for the scholastic year ending the thirty
first day Of October in the year eighteen
hundred and ninetytive, as it appears in
the report of the state superintendent Of
education for said scholastic year, the
comptroller general shall, for the atore-
said next ensuing fiscal years, on the first
day of each of said years, levy such an
annual tax OH the taxable Property Of the
state as he may determine to be necessary
to make up such deficiency to be collect
ed as other taxes, and apportion the
same among the counties of the state in
proportion TO the respective deficiencies
therein.
From the Columbia Register article
sAAS
officials in Columbia are in doubt as to
whether this provision of the constitution
APPLIES 10 the state at large, or to the in.
dividual counties. The understanding is
that while some of the counties show 4
per capita of less than 50 to the pupil in
attendance Oh the public schools, the state
at large shows All amount slightly i'll eX.
cess of this per capita. So, i'll one view
of the case, the tax must he levied, while
in the other view, the tax is not necessary
Inquiry of County Superintendent oI
Education Shurley, develops the fact that
Nork's per capita school fund is only
S2.5G. Under the provision OF the consti.
tuition quoted above, it is clear that this
amount is required to be not less than So
Now the question is, shall the deficiency
be made up from York county, or shall
it come from the other counties where the

THAT MISERABLE SCHEDULE.

The inconvenience and unreliability .
the Narrow Gauge schedule has become
unbearable, and many Of the busines!
men of Yorkville and other points alons
the line are getting into mood which, tt
say the least, is decidedly ugly.
Several times during the present week
the northbound train has come up from
Chester without bringing any mail from
the south, and this is only repetition OF
what has been occurring from two to four
DAYS out Of each week since the now
schedule went into effect.
Passengers who come up from Colum
bia are not seriously inconvenienced, it is
true. If they miss the first train, which
usually seems to be in such hurry to
get away from Chester before the arrival
of the train over the Southern, they can
wait and take the freight which follows
next. There is no danger of missing this
freight. 1t seldom ever fails to start
sometime or other, and those who take it
will surely get to Yorkyille the same day,
even if they have to get out and come by
private conveyance.
It is not the convenience Of passengers,
however, that is OF sole interest to the
people of Yorkville. The people here
are also interested in getting their mail in
the morning. They want business letters
from the south, and they also want the
newspapers, and the failure to get these
things is making bad feeling. And since
we have come to think about it, the peo-
pie are not quite so helpless as might be
supposed. In the first place, there is a
possibility Of relief at the hands OF the
railroad commission, and in the event the
railroad commission should turn deal
ear to their appeals, there is still another
recourse. The Narrow Gauge railroad,
along with most other railroads, gets a
considerable portion Of its revenue from
the government for carrying mails. Now,
notwithstanding any opinion to the con-
trary, the government is very Jealous as
to the efficiency of the mail service, and
it is never very slow to look into the
merits of complaints affecting it. If the
people of Yorkville and other points
along the line are unable to get redress
any other way, they are respectfully ad-
vised to see what can be done through the
postot1ice department at Washington.
