Tho Fury of An Unfettered Element Falls
to Crush Them-The Fire Fiend Dsfod.
The news comes from Attica, Ind,
of the destruction, by fire, of the big
laboratory and office building OF the
Sterling Remedy company, makers OF
Cascarets Candy Cathartic and No-To-
Bac, the original guaranteed tobacco
habit cure. The preparations made by
this big corporation are known
throughout the world.
The fire broke out in one OF the
packing rooms on the third floor during
the noon hour, and had made consider
able headway before 1t was discovered.
The Sterling Remedy company is the
principal industry of the beautiful lit
tie city of Attica, employing several
hundred people, besides being afhllated
with the interests at the Indiana Min
eral Springs, the famous Magno-Mud
Cure. The entire population was
worked up to a frenzy of excitement.
Meanwhile tn, almost proverbial
energy and presence of mind of "Aust-

were made the same evening from
goods saved. and on Friday morning,
all departments were at work in var

of men were cleaning away the wreck
age preliminary to rebuilding.
The actual damage amounts to many
thousands of dollars; the loss due to
interruption of business and confusion
Of detail is inestimatable. but pluck
and energy of one man will turn de-
feat into victory and move the wheels
of business to ever-increasing speed.
Nothing can stop the success of Cas-
carets and No-To-Bac with such char
acteristic force behind them.

are washed pour boiling water over, and

physicians for the past six years were re-
viewed" says Mr.. Brice. Why did you
not review those accounts before calling
for bids, in order to enable you to specify
conditions upon which bids were to be
submitted? If those accounts showed
that some doctor II know not and care
not who) had made too many visits, aud
made exorbitant charges thereby fleeing
the taxpayers of the county, he should
have been ignored altogether. But in
stead of that, our commissioners lay
down the bars, let all in, and then turn
all out. No, gentlemen, you did not need
w. 8. G.. to help you out; but you evil
dently did need the nerve and the cour-
age to enable you to do your duty.
"When physician was called In to see
an inmate of these institutions" Mr..
Brice tells us, "he was his own judge
when and how often he would visit the
patients" And this in spite Of the fact
that we have sheriff at the Jail and su-
perintendent at the county home and ten
commissioners on the watchtowers.
In conclusion I am much obliged to
Mr.. Brice for his explanation.
Barring unnecessary sarcasm, 1t is
frank, open and fair, and enables me to
point out the injustice Of the action of the

All People of All Denominations Are Most
Cordially Invited.
To all who love our Lord Jesus Christ,
whatever be their lame or denomi-
nation under the SUI Greeting:
Again we hear the solemn call of our
Mother, the Church, to come apart from
the world, to company with our Lord,
to learn better to know Him, and His
will, to kindle warmer devotion to Him,
to gain more real longing after holiness,
q deeper realization of the sinfulness Of
sin, to bring our whole nature, mind,
soul and body, into more real harmony
with Him in all things.
BY long experience we have learned
the many benefits of well-used Lent.
We would cordially invite you to share
them with US. We do not ask you to
sacrifice aught of your own convictions,
to conform to any part Of the Service that
shall seem untrue to you; but we do ask
you to join with US in partaking Of what
quaint old Herbert calls the "dear Feast
Of Lent" taste its precious joys, learn its
deep Lesson concerning God and Man,
and concerning the Goldman, that 30 you
may come at Easter-tide, more fully than
ever before, ''to know Him, and the
Power Of His Resurrection"
"Come with Us, and we will do thee
good" Yours in Christ,

and Instructions will be announced on

TIRZAH DISPENSARY.

Rev. B. H. Grier, Of Yorkville, ap-
peared before the county board of con-
troll at its regular meeting last Monday,
in regard to the Tirzah dispensary.
Some few months ago, at the request
of citizens of the Tirzah neighborhood,
Mr.. Grier prepared petition to the state
board of control asking for the removal
of the Tirzah dispensary as nuisance.
The petitions were circulated and extern
sively signed, and Mr.. Grier presented
them to the state board of control in per-
son. He was told that the state board Of
control was unable to move in the matter
except upon the approval of the county
board of control, and that is why he ap-
peared before that body on Monday.
Chairman Dye, of the county board,
appeared to be in sympathy with the
proposition to abolish the dispensary /;
but Messrs. Moore and Burris were in
doubt as to the proper course to pursue.
AS the result of considerable discussion,
Mr.. Moore, the secretary, was finally
instructed to present the entire case to the
attorney general, and ascertain from that
official the powers and duties of the board
in the case. 1t is not only matter of
doubt as to whether the board has the
power to abolish the dispensary; but it is
still question as to whether it would
abolish it even if it could.

SOMETHING PRACTICAL.

The detailed facts in another column
show that, at last, the movement for bet
ter roads has begun to take practical
shape, and that the people are awakening
to the necessity of united effort.
Although the people living on the
Rutherford road are the only ones who
have so far screwed themselves up to the
point of making an actual start-break-
ing the ice, so to speak-there is reason
to believe that the movement is well on
and that other sections will also soon be
to the front.
Two hundred dollars, the amount sub
scribed, is no big thing for three miles Of
road but it is just $500 more than the
people of any other section in this imme-
diate neighborhood have ever offered
before, and that is not all. The EN-
oU1RER has information that the people
have just commenced to think about the
matter seriously. Some Of them have
already begun to grow enthusiastic. The
more they consider the proposition, the
more they like it, and instead of being
half reluctant that they have made their
subscriptions, most of them have made
up their minds to give still more, and
they are going to do it, too. Just watch.
And then there is another thing. The
business men of Yorkville have often
been characterized as slow, narrow and
unprogressive. Though more than hum
dred times repeated and seldom denied,
there never was meaner SANDER. Than
this same Yorkville, there is not a more
liberal or generous town in the state OF
South Carolina. Although the people
who have gotten up that subscription list
have not asked it, we have information
that already there has commenced a
movement here to meet them more than
half way, and that this movement will be
a success there is not the least reason to
doubt.
Again, we say that there is good ground
for encouragement. The people of the
Rutherford road have quit talking and
gone to work. The more they think, the
more they are likely to add to what are,
with them, already liberal contributions,
and by 'tlaying by" time we believe that
the subscriptions will have been swelled
to sum that will do much toward ma
cadamizing from three to five miles of
road. Let the good work go on there as
in other quarters, and as it goes on, let it
grow and broaden until every important
public road in the county has been made
good,
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1897-03-03
THREE MORE CAUGHT.

Whiteman Hardy, colored, one OF the
prisoners who escaped from the York
county jail on the 18th of February, was
re-captured in Charlotte on Friday, and
was brought back to Yorkville by Deputy
Harshaw on Saturday afternoon.
Hardy is the man who shot Mozelle
Kennelle, the mulatto woman, in York
vile some weeks ago. A full account or
the circumstances was published in The
ENQUIRER at the time, and the manner
in which the fellow was re-captured
makes another somewhat curious story.
The kennelle woman, it seems, was
moved back to Charlotte last Thursday,
and on Friday was entertaining number
of visitors with the details of the shoot
ing. While in the midst of the story,
she stopped abruptly, pointed to the
sidewalk through the open door, and
exclaimed: "There goes the man who
shot me-"
The passerby was Hardy, and the Ne
groes made break for him Immediately.
The fellow ran down the street and was
followed by constantly increasing
crowd The pursuit lasted for more than
a mile. Hardy managed to elude his
pursuers temporarily; but was finally
caught by one Of the Negroes and was
turned over to the police.
At Rock Hill, reporter for THE EN-
QU1RER tried to get some information out
of Hardy. To the first question, how
ever, the fellow sullenly replied: 81

have not got anything to say this even
ing to anybody" and the interview, of
course, was not continued.
Bill Thompson, another one of the es-
capes, was caught in Gastonia, N. c., on
Monday and brought down to Yorkville
on Monday night. He claims that he
knew nothing Of the escape until after
most of the prisoners were gone. Some.
body walked him up, informed him that
the way was open, and he decided to
leave also. He is charged with horse
stealing.
Sheriff Logan received telegram yes
terday morning informing him that John
Hart had been captured at Grover, N. c.,
and asking him to come for the prisoner
at once. The sheriff left for Grover as
soon as possible after the receipt of the
telegram. Hart is charged with assault
and battery, and is said to be most des-
perate Negro. Many people have been
of opinion all the while that he knows a
great deal as to the whereabouts of Reese
and Luckie but as to whether or not he
will tell anything, even if he is able to do
80, is matter of considerable doubt.
Though the whereabouts of Reese and
Luckie is still a matter of general discus
sion, there has, as yet, been no news, and
people seem to be reconciling themselves
to the idea that these individuals are
surely, completely and effectually gone.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1897-03-03
HERE is A START.

The people of the Beersheba neghbor-
hood have set the ball rolling on the road
question, and they propose to do some-
thing.
1t was these same people who, some
time ago, performed the remarkable feat
of builing a big stonewall around the
Beersheba cemetery in day. On this
occasion they learned the irresistible
power of united effort, and now that they
are confronted with another great public
necessity, il is not surprising that they
know so well how to act.
Mr.. r. L. Wilkerson is the prime mover
in the undertaking. With the very COM
mencement of the agitation, he saw that
the proper thing to do under the circum-
stances was to act, and this he lost no tim g
in doing. Preparing paper promising
subscriptions in labor and cash, and wag-
ons and teams, payable next summer
after the crops were Laid by" he took it
upon himself to circulate it amongst
the people most directly interested, and
up to Monday afternoon, the various
.,,,o,ots dopofad 1uara aa followa.
