TRUE THEN-TRUE NOW.


THE following statement from Mr.. w.
Il 8. Wnkerson 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 M. GRIsT. Yorkville, 8. c.:
Dear Sir-I bought No. 7 Corbin Disk
Harrow from you in October, 1889. I was
delighted with it the first time tried 1t.
I now consider 1t 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, I will say that l can
take my Harrow, with one hand and four
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-
row. It is the length of the beam, and ts
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 plowed up my cotton
stalks and with the Disk Harrow and
TWO Inul0S, cut Tue SIalkS anu puiNoliDOu
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 1t
much better than in the ordinary way.
One hand and two mules Is all that Is REQ
essary to put in to 10 acres day.
The best prepared land have ever had
was piece of weed stubble turned in the
fall and cut up with the Corbin Harrowin
the spring.
In conclusion, let me say that the Har-
row thoroughly breaks and pulverizes the
land and leaves 1t In porous condition.
Land that has been pulverized with
Corbin Harrow will not bake.
Respectfully, w. 8. W1LKERsoN.
Now, reader, do you know Mr.. Will.
kersonP If you do, don't you know that
ne Is 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 correct?
If you believe what be says, don't you
also believe that you are standing In your
own light when you trv to farm without
CORBIN DISK HARROW? Call and
see me about one. I have them in stock.

IF you have taken ont life insurance
l. policy in an Old Line high price 'level
premium" company with the idea that
you would at sometime in the future,
ceive substantial cash returns or "big
dividends" we are here to tell you that
you will be disappointed. Your policy
will prove q snare and delusiou. It is
all right for protection for your wife and
children, as they will receive the face Of
the policy in case Of your death, as they
would also in company that charges
you half as much. A life insurance poll
cy isa fraud as an investment for living
man, and is the grea lest blessing Of which
we or anybody else has any knowledge
as means Of prote citing the widow aud

present session, were either defeated
or were left on the calendar. The bill
to settle the indebtedness Of the bond
aided railways to the government
which was legacy from the last ses
sion, suffered a crushing defeat il
January last. The substitute measure
prepared by Mr.. Harrison, of Ala
bama, to adjust these claims through
the medium of cabinet. commission
was not permitted by the committee
on rules to come before the house
thus leaving it an open question be-
tween the supporters and the oppo
nents of the measure what its fate
would have been. In the preceding
session upwards of fifty resolutions
bearing upon the Cuban insurrectior
were introduced, although but one
passed the house. During the present
session the Cuban resolutions intro
duced have been few in number.
No effort was made at the present
session to call up the bills admitting
Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma
10 statehood. The "sound money
men in the house were practical unit
against the admission to any terrific
ries which are likely to send advocates
of free silver to the senate.
Among the bills which passed the
house, but have not been acted upon
in the senate, are the Morse bill, to
prevent the selling of liquor in the
Capitol; the Brosius bill, permitting
the establishment of national banks
with a capital of 100000 in towns
of 4, 900 inhabitants, and the Loud bill
to reclassify second-mail matter.
The ways and means committee
gave series of hearings during the
early weeks of the session, and the re-
mainder of the time was occupied by
the Republican members in formu'
lating a new tariff bill. This will fol-
low the general lines of the Mckinley
law of 1890, and will be reported to
the house at the beginning of the ex-
ira session of the next congress. All
of the contested election cases, thirty
two in number, have been disposed of.
The work of the senate during the
past session has not been heavier than
usual. The number of bills intro
duced generally runs up above 5000
in number, and this session the total
has reached 1922.
Much of the time of the senate has
been consumed in the discussion OF
questions relating to our foreign rela-
tions, and, while no positive action
has been taken, many columns of the
Congressional Record have been filled
with speeches on these topics.
Cuban resolutions have been intro
duced and pressed for action by the
score but, beyond precipitating de-
bate, nothing has been accomplished.
A treaty with Japan has been rat
fled, putting into immediate operation
the clause of the treaty Of commerce
and navigation negotiated two years
ago. The general treaty of arbitra-
ton with Great Britain after being
fruitlessly considered for two weeks,
went over until the next session. The
Alaskan boundary treaty with Great
Britain has not even been considered
in committee.
The Nicaraguan canal bill, which
was debated for several weeks, was on
the point of final passage, with COM
Portable majority in front of it, when
the protest of the minister represent
ing the Greater Central American Re-
public was received.

What Has Been Done In Two Houses
and What Failed.

What Has Been Done In Two Houses
and What Failed.
Associated Press Dispatch.
The 54th congress, which will ex-
pire at noou tomorrow, will be held
remarkable principally for what it
failed to accomplish. In one respect
in the number of bills and resolutions
introduced-it was record breaker.
In the house alone over 10,40O bills,
and 3,10O resolutions were introduced
and referred to various committees.
Only a fraction of them passed the
house, and fewer still became laws. =,
The principal business of congress-,
aside from the passage of the appro-
priation bills, was limited to the first
session, the net results of which were
the enactment into law of the bills
creating the commission to determine
the true divisional line between Ven
ezuela and British Guiana; prohibit
ing prize fighting in the territories 4;
permitting appointments in the army
and navy of former United States off

were of no general interest. Included
in these were seven hundred private
pension bills, an unprecedented mum,

In another respect the 54th con.
gress was remarkable. This was its
failure to pass a single bill providing
