little girl-she is little; ; but stockily built
and shows fine muscular Development
stout stick, about the size of broom
handle. The gentleman takes the stick
firmly i'm both hands, while Miss Hester,
on placing her thumbs against it, forces
him about the stage with apparent ease.
In another test, Miss Hester allows gen.
tleman to stand behind her and lift her
up twice by the elbows; while on the
third attempt she "wills' not to be lifted,
and remains glued to the floor. In still
another test, she allows gentleman to
sit on chair with another gentleman on
his lap and lifts both together with the
chair, by pressure on the first gentle.
mans neck.
At the matinee on Wednesday evening
all of these TESTS" were successfully per-
formed except when Sheriff Logan was
the little girls opponent. 1t is said-and
those who feel the muscles of his arms
are wiling to testify-that the sheriff is
somewhat "magnetic' himself. Any.
how, when the little girl undertook to
push him out of his tracks, he did not go
and when he was told to push her out o.
her tracks, he did it. He also lifted her
off the floor, except the tips of her toes
and that, it was easy to see, was because
she allowed her body to 60 limp, and hel
elbows to move upward until there wa:
not sufficient purchase for lifting.
Miss Hesters manager explained thai
there were some subjects upon which
Miss Hester's magnetism" had no effect
because they were also "nagnatized.'
That the magnetism" had no effect OF
the sheriff was quite evident, and it is
also evident that his magnetism is Of tht
kind with which he has been accustomed
to handling saw logs.
But, taken altogether, both entertain
ments were very successful, and all pres
ent felt that they got the full value o
their money.

WE WOULDN'T FOOL YOU.

THERE is no doubt OF the fact that
i. the farmers of this section have been
fooled time and time again, by unscrupu-
lous travelling agents who induced them
to buy tools and implements not adapted
to their needs, and, as result, the victims
are suspicious Of all implements with
which they have not been accustomed all
their lives. We have been in the imple-
ment business for the past six or seven
years, and during that time have sold i'm
plements to some of the best farmers in
the county, and we can say, honestly and
truthfully, that we have never had sim
gle complaint OF any kind. Every i'm
plement, piece of machinery or tool that
we have sold has given perfect satisfaction
and made money for the purchaser. We
sell only money-makers aud labor-savers.
We never undertake to handle an imple-
ment until it's value and practicability has
been thoroughly demonstrated by years
of use i'm the fields of the American farm

is SEWERAGE NEEDED.

As the result of the recent report OF the
Yorkville board of health to the town
council, there has been a great deal OF
talk in the town as to the necessity of a
sewerage system. The reporter has talk
ed with quite number of people on the
subject and met with all kinds Of views.
Those, however, who seem to have given
the matter most thought, are almost in
variably of the opinion that a sewerage
system is not at all desirable. One gen.
tleman who has thought over the matter
AS carefully and as intelligently as any
other individual in the town, sizes up the
situation as follows:
"a sewerage system is an evil any
where, and is the lesser of similar evils
only in large cities, under conditions
which make its existence necessary. 1t
is to be avoided as long as possible, and
in town like this, under existing condi-
tions, it would not be desirable even as
gift. No matter how well or expensvely
a sewerage system may be constructed,
it, to greater or less extent, is necessari-
ly a concentratOr of filth and dissemi-
nator of dangerous disease germs.
"The most practicable and desirable
system of sanitation in town like this is,
as the board Of health has suggested, care
ful and thorough police supervision. All
necessary accumulations of filth should
be Systematically and regularly removed
under the direction of responsible author
ity and at the expense of individual falnl-
lies, etc., directly interested. Experience
here, as everywhere, has proven that to
leave the matter to the disposition Of di-
rectly interested parties, is to invite neg
lect in sufficiently large numbero of cases
to make the situation thoroughly danger
Gus and breed no end of infection.
"Private sewers emptying in thickly
settled neighborhoods, are much more
dangerous even than public sewers, and
should not, under any circumstances, he
tolerated in the incorporate limits"

- Editor Abel, of the Baltimore Sun,
has refused to accept the leadership of the
Democratic party in Maryland on condi-
ton that Senator German retire from pub
lie life as per Gorman's proposition, and
by so doing has made it clear that his
abuse in the Sun of German was only a
pretext; that in reality he is Republi-
can. Tha. fair and open proposition of
Gormon's was a masterstroke, from any
point of view it may be surveyed, and as
the outcome he will gain still higher
standing among the Democrats of Mary
land and the nation.

LETTER FROM HOODTOWN.
Cotton Crop Being Picked, Ginned, Packed
and Held-About the Sick and Others.

ana Hel0-ADOut the SiCk anu otheis'
Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
HooDTowN, October 2l.-The bulk OF
the cotton crop has already been picked,
and while it is being ginned about as fast
as the gins can get through with It, but
little is being sold. The low price of cot
ton is giving our farmers bad case of the
"blues," and, indeed, if the price does not
improve, there will result partial stagna-
ton i'm the business world. a few years
ago when cotton was five cents and less,
our people bought little, paid what debts
they could, and managed to pull
through" somehow, and / suppose they
will have the same to do again. 1t is gen
orally thought in this neighborhood that
the cotton crop will not fall short but lit
tie, if any, from the average crop here.
The farmers are now engaged in gath
ering corn. The crop is fair, excepting
where it was damaged on low lands by
high water.
The recent rains, while too late to ma
ture the top bolls on cotton, have been Of
great advantage to turnips. While gen
orally about a failure, there are few
good patches to he seen.
There are still several cases Of chills in
the neighborhood. The fever has about
subsidized.
DIR. w. A. Hood is able to he out some
after his recent illness from fever.
Mr.. Elijah McSwain has been in bad
health for sometime. His condition is
not much improved at present.
Mr. J. Walter Bankhead has been quite
i'll for several weeks; but is thought to be
improving little.

LIQUOR AT TIRZAH.

Mr.. R. r. Allison, the dispenser at
Tirzah, was in Yorkville on Wednesday,
and at the request of the reporter, gave
some information in regard to the dispen-
sary.
Mr.. Allison was unable to remember
the exact figures representing his sales
last week but thought they were in the
neighborhood of Sl2O, as compared with
something over 5000 the previous week.
The sales, therefore, barring other con-
siderations, were cut into by the original
package to the amount of about $50.
While $l2O represent rather small sales
this season Of the year, Mr.. Allison says
that the sales of the summer weeks show
up a great deal less. He went on to say,
also, that the original package shop does
not seem to be making permanent inroads
on the dispensary, to as great an extent
as might have been expected. During the
first few days, it is true, the original pack
age people did a good part of the business
but already it has begun to lose its GUS
tom. Most people who have purchased
liquors from it, says that its goods are not
nearly the equal in quality with the same
grades sold in the dispensary.
Up to last accounts, the original pack
age people were only handling corn whis-
ky and alleged apple brandy. 1t is un-
derstood, however, to be their intention
to put in a full stock Of various other
kinds of liquors, including many of the
most popular brands.
The people of the town of Tirzah-
there are just Is registered voters-are
generally hostile to the original package
shop, and a great many people OF the
surrounding country are anxious for the
removal of both establishments.

- Hill was goldbug but claimed that
he was Democrat. German was gold
bug and made no claims. Upon the
adoption of the Chicago platform, Hill
sulked to his tent, and is now sunk in
oblivion. Golman accepted the mandate
of his party, subordinated his own views
to the will of the majority, and has proved
that he is, in reality, what Hill only
claimed to be-a Democrat. German be-
longs to the party. Hill has always
thought that the party belonged to him.
Hill, Cleveland and the like are party
wreckers. Party success and party integ-
rity is only possible with such men as
German.

When THE ENQUIRER gets to the
point that it can recognize intoxicating
liquor as legitimate article Of commerce
or its sale in any other light than as ma
tional crime, then it will unequivocally
advocate the dispensary or high license
In the meantime, we will say that the
provisions of the state constitution on the
subject do not offer solution of the liquor
question; but only an improvement over
former conditions.

November as follows: From to 4, cool

II to Is, windy, cool and frosty. From l6

25, changeable. From 26 to 30, cold rains,
sleet or snow.
As to Cheapness.
AS compared with THE ENQUIRER
twice. a-week, the price of Il local weekly
should not be more than 81! cents. This,
of course, presumes that the weekly con-
tains as much news matter rs single edi-
ton of THE ENQUIRER.

We respectfully refer those who intend
to make up clubs for THE ENQUIRER to
the prospectus published on another page.
There are some big offers in that pros

member that early starters have the best
chance to come out winners.

Lower Court Affirmed.
The supreme court has rendered its de-
cision i'm the case of Letitia A. Bratton
petitioner, vs.. K. Walker Burris, involv-
ing a dover claimed by the former. II
seems that the dover had been virtually
renowned, all except slight technicality
in the execution of the papers. Judge
McCorkle, however, held that the renun'
citation was not in accordance with law
and in this holding the supreme cour,
agrees. The petitioner, therefore, will
get the dover claimed. T. F. Mellow fol

The Church Wins.
The supreme court has reversed the
court below in the case of Tillman r.
Gaines, respondent, vs.. J. S. Drakeford
appellant. The case involved the owner.
ship of the old Baptist church property
in Yorkville. The property had been
sold by the Baptist church to Mr.. j. s.
Drakeford. Mr.. Gaines laid claim to the
lot on the ground that he held the paper
titles, which titles, he alleged, were paid
for with his own money. The church sci
up that Gaines only held the title in trust
The contention, therefore, involved ques'
tions of law and fact. The jury decided
the question of fact in favor of Gaines,
as did also the court the question of law.
The decision of the supreme court rever-
ses the lower court on the question oi
law, and the effect of the decision is a
victory for the church, which can now
give good title to the property.

A Seven Years. Experience.

It has been seven years since we first
undertook the task of inducing the far
mers of this section to try the genuine
CORBIN DISK HARROW, and during
the time mentioned have sold quite a
large number, and we don't believe there
is single one in use today that has not
been worth its first cost to its owner each
year that he has used it, and there are
great many Of which we have heard that
have been worth the same amount to
neighbors who have borrowed them. You
can take CORBIN HARROW and
break your land and put in your wheat at
a total cost of 25 to so cents an acre, max
ing liberal allowance for the use of your
team and driver. You can put in at least
five acres day with one hand and two
good mules, as against two acres with two
hands and two mules by the ordinary
plan, and the wheat put in with the har-
row will be the best on the same quality
of land as that sowed by the ordinary
method. We carry the GENUINE COR
BIN DISK HARROW in stock.
