Making Things Move.
Mr.. T. B. McClain is tearing up the

western outskirts of Yorkville with more
energy than ever. He is going in this
year largely for corn, peas and forage;
but, of course, will also plant some

New Medical Firm.

have formed partnership for the prac-
tice of medicine in Yorkville. Their Of
flee is in the Kuykendal building. AS

There Are Others.
Mr.. It. H. Allen, of Glover, was in
Yorkville on Thursday. On being asked
about that fox his party caught OH Kings
mountain recently, he said that the fox
was not alone. He thinks there are 9th
ers there. "But it takes dogs to catch
them," he says. "Almost any kind of
dog can catch those little old foxes down
in Lancaster. They are no more than
rabbits. But when it comes to catching
mountain fox, you've got to have noun
tain dogs"
Orphanage Society.
Rev. j. P. Knox, of Hickory Grove,
writes to the Associate Reformed Presby-
terian as follows: We wish to commend
the young men of Cherokee Factory, in
Cherokee county. They have organized
an Orphanage society. Have Is members,
and Mr.. Tom Caldwell is the treasurer.
This is a movement in the right direc-
ton, and we hope to hear of others follow
ing their example. This is the first society
of the kind we have heard of and we do
very much appreciate their interest IN
this work. May the society live long and
prosper.
War Calamity.
Rev. j. w. Humbert, of Yorkville,
writes to The Christian Neighbor as fol-
lows: 1--WE hope and pray that the pres
ent difficulties between the United States
and Spain may he adjusted without going
to war. Surely our Christian civilization
can settle our differences without another
war. What is the use OF war? The
stronger side will overcome the weaker,
after loss, it may be, of many lives and
millions of money. War! Too bad to
think about! Why do some editors seem
to like so well to write about war and the
probable results, whether beneficial or
otherwise? May our God save us from
war with Spain or any other country.
Amen"
Killed by the Fall.
Rock Hill correspondence Columbia
State, Tuesday: George Wilson, Negro
who was coming up from Chester to cook
for Mrs. Blake of this city, missed the
local train yesterday afternoon and so
boarded the blind baggage of the fast
tiying vestibule. When the train came
through Rock Hill it was going pretty
swift as it passed Black street, where the
rear of the trains used to stop before the
new station was built. The Negro thought
that it was not going to stop 50 he jump
ed. He was terribly used up. Someone
found him almost Immediately and he
was taken to nearby house and physi-
clans called. His injuries were beyond
help though, and he died during the
night.
The Herald's Pumpkins.
The Rock Hill Herald sometime ago,
offered so buggy to the subscriber who
should guest nearest to the number OF
seeds contained in a pumpkin that was
to be cut last Saturday. The condition
precedent to guess was the payment OF
$l.5O for a years subscription to Thel
Herald. Mr.. Miles Johnson wins the
buggy. The pumpkin contained 726 seeds
and Mr.. Johnson guessed 72O. Mr.. w. K.
Hayes, of Harmony guessed 7l9. The
highest guess was that of Mr.. A. D. Hol-
Ter, who put his figures at ,202, and the
lowest was that Of DR.. G. w. Dick, ofl
Sumter, who said 42. The Herald does
not claim that the scheme increased it's
circulation beyond that of any other pa
per published in the state; but hopes to
derive benefit from the "bread cast on
the water principle"
The Knife and Fork.
In a letter to the Chester Lantern, Rev.
j. II. Simpson, of the Hickory Grove or
phanage, tells of one Of the troubles he
is having with the little orphans as fol-
