COTTON FOR THE MISSIONARIES.

Annual Recurrence Of a Notable Event
at Glover.
Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
CLOVER, November 8. The pastor
and people of the Presbyterian church
here have established a custom, which,
for the first time, 1.-THE tale to you l
now unfold" For several years, at the
proper time in the spring, the pastor dis
tributes small portion Of cotton seed to
the children, which they call missionary
seed. This they plant, cultivate, and
when gathered, they call it missionary
cotton. A certain day is appointed in the
fall--generally in November-for the cot
ton to be brought in. For this year, last
Saturday was appointed. The cotton is
all collected in body. The amount
brought by each one is weighed and an
account kept, and at the proper time this
account is read out. With the collecting
of the cotton, the congregation collects on
the beautiful grounds around the acad-
emy, and bring their baskets filled with
good things and spend the day in social
intercourse. This is called the mission
ary picnic. 1t has always been a day OF
great pleasure; so much so that we now
look forward to it with pleasant expecta-
tions.
Last Saturday was an improvement on
all that had gone before it. In many
cases entire families were there, and all
ages, from the little infant to old age. To
prove that last assertion about old age, we
had present one venerable Father in
Israel who had, only few days before,
passed his Goth birthday. The day itself
was simply delightful. Just such a day
as the autumn alone can give. I need,
sadly need, the power of language to de-
scribe such day as last Saturday was.
And that picnic dinner! Now I need
language. Knowing that I would make
a complete failure if I attempted to tell
all saw and felt and tasted, I will just
quit,
The amount collected in cotton, trust
money, etc., that day, just lacked few
cents Of $50.
The cotton was ginned by Smith &
Wright free of charge. 1t looks like il
is long time till next November, but
I'll wait. JOSH.

CIRCUIT COURT.

After the dlScharge OF tne urSC- week
Jurors last week, the court gave its atten-
ton to equity business until Saturday
morning, when it ran out of something
to do, until last Monday, the time ap-
pointed for the convening Of the second
week jurors.
Upon the convening of court on Mon
day, the juries were organized as fol-
lows:
No. l.-W. F. Boyd, w. NJ. Campbell,
J. G. Conner, Jesse M. Ford, Samuel
Westbrooks, D. j. Forbes, George Pear
son, c. NJ. Mcknight, John Westbrooks,

Supernumeraries-W T. Nichols, G. M.
Riddle, G. B. Cornwell, B. D. Culp, Wal
ter B. Moore, E. B. Stephenson, j. Is.
Martin.
Messrs. W. P. Whisonant, D. P. Steele
and R. P. Boyd were excused.
His honor sounded the calendar for the
second time, and it developing that the
lawyers were not ready for trial in any OF
the cases, q recess was taken until ll.3O
O'Clock. Still no case was ready, and his
honor ordered another recess until $3.50
D. m., with an announcement that unless
there was a case ready for trial by that
hour, he would discharge the jurors and
adjourn court.
For an hour or two it looked as if the
term was going to fall through with a
crash. There is lots of litigation pend
ing, and the members of the bar were
very much disturbed over the situation,
until it developed that case would be in
readiness at the hour mentioned.
The first case taken up was that of w.
c. Estes, colored, against York county.
The defendant was represented by Messrs.
Finley & Brice, and the plaintiff by Mr..
T. F. Mellow. The suit was for $1,000
damages, on account of personal injuries
alleged to have been sustained by the
plaintiff at the hands of a mob at his
home near Sharon, on the 18th of April,
1895. The jury, after remaining out for
few minutes, found for the plaintiff in
the sum of $l5.
The next case taken up was that of the
Bullock Manufacturing company, against
Major James F. Hart, involving a con-
troversy over the purchase Of diamond
drill. When THE ENQUIRER went to
press, the case had not been concluded.
Judge Benet adjourned court in order
that the jurors, witnesses and court Off
cials generally might attend the show.

BROAD VIEWS Of VAN WYCK.

. Atlanta

People Want Democratic Government and
They viii Get 1t.
Atlanta Constitution.
Mayor Van Wyck, of New York,
will enter upon his new and response
bic duties with sharply clear idea as
to the nature and extent of the in
dorsement which the people gave him.
He has had d very full and free con-
versation with newspaper reporter
on this subject, a conversation which
shows the new mayor to have very
strong and substantial views of his
responsibility to the people as well as
to he party. He does not attempt to
ma~nify his own personality or to blind
himself to the fact that he was sup
ported and elected by men who are
Democrats and because he was also q
Democrat.
He was strong party man before
but the result of his election will make
him a much stronger party man. The
gold press is charging that Tammany
had a deal with Patt. Such charges
are as old at Tammany.
Almost the first announcement OF
Mayor Van Wyck, after his election
was assured, was to the effect that he
was a Democrat, was nominated as a
Democrat, and elected as Democrat
by Democrats who were true to the
party principles and organization, ma
tional, state, county and municipal.
This being the case, he declared that
he would appoint none but Democrats
to office, not Democrats Of day; but
men who had maintained their party
fealty through good and evil report.
Elaborating on this declaration, the
mayor said that his purpose in this re-
spect did not grow out of any partic-
ular belief in the theory that to the
victor belongs the spoils. The ques-
ton of spoils cut no figure in his mind
at all. The question he was concern
ed with was one of good government
the honest aud economical administra-
ton of the affairs of great city.
The Republicans had been in charge
and the people had decided that their

Real Estate Transfer.

restauranter and family grocer, of York
vile, has purchased the Alonzo Rose
property, dwelling house and store room,
Just across from Mr.. Roth's present stand,
and will take possession about January l.
The Price of Cotton.
No cotton was offered on the Yorkville
market yesterday, on account, probably,
of the general decentralization of show
day. The best price paid on Monday was
81; but the market yesterday would have
hardly justified more than 5.
Eight BolIs In Nine Inches.
Mr.. f. D. Thompson, of Point, has
sent THE ENQUIRER branch from cot
ton stalk that grew on his best acre OF
cotton. The branch shows up eight fully
developed bolls within space of nine
inches. If this sample is in any way in
dicatiye of the average condition of the
acre referred to, the suggested possible
yield of three, or even four, bales should
not be surprising.
Postponed Till April.
1t was the hope of the administration
that the original package cases would be
heard by the United States court of ap-
peals last week. General Barber, how
ever, who went to Richmond to look
after the matter, has informed the gov
ernor that the cases have been postponed
until next April. This will leave the
situation in statu quo until after the
meeting of the legislature.
Beware of Substitutes.
Although in the interest Of an adver-
tiser, this is not All advertisement; but il
is logic. If it is not logic, don't pay any
attention to it. You go to a store and ask
for Royal baking powder, because you
are told that it is absolutely pure, and
experience tells you that there is none
better. The clerk or proprietor OF the
store wants to sell you something else
assuring you at the same time that the
substitution is cheaper and just as good
