vaccinated In the Nose.
Charleston Post: Sam Meyers, a
l5-year.old Negro boy living on CAL
houn street, has fallen victim to
nose vaccination, which is giving
him no end of trouble. He brought
it all on himself by touching the vac
cination spot and then inserting his
fingers in his nose. Meyers was vac
cinated the first part of last week at
one of the colored schools. The vac
cination showed signs of having taken
after few days by the intense itching
and pain of the arm. The boy was
warned to keep his fingers off the
running sore but all the admonitions
of his people amounted to nothing
After he had endured the torments of
vaccination for several days, his nose
began to swell, first in the interior and
then outside. 1t became very painful
and soon it was impossible for the boy
to breathe through his nostrils. The
whole of the front of his face began to
swell. A physician was called in, who
pronounced the boys affliction to be
nothing short of a nose vaccination.
He accounted for it by the statement
that the boy must have picked at his
nose with finger which had touched
the vaccination, and in this way car
ried the poison to his face.

ber 90, 1880, and died at his home in Gas
ton county, near Bowling Green, s. c.,
January 27, 1898, aged 67 years 4 months
and days.
In his younger days he found congenial
and profitable employment in teaching
school. Though native Of South Caro-
lima. he cast his fortunes, after he married
the state of his life companion, and lived
and died loyal citizen of North Caro-
When the war broke out he was just
passed 30 years of age. AT the call for
volunteers, he dedicated his life to the
cause of the Confederacy. On the End
day of March, 1862, Company III. of the
49th n. c. regiment was organized in
Dallas with Charles @. Petty as captain.
On the first day of April he and his com
pany LETT for Raleigh, and from that day
to the end of the war he showed himself
a good soldier. August 5, 1864, he was
promoted to major of the 49th regiment,
which rank he held with ever increas-
ing reputation until the end OF the war.
At Petersburg, December IA, he WAS
wounded. At the battle of Five Forks,
to quote from Major Petty's writings 1--WE
lost all but 80 of our men, and never re.
organized after that-the end had come"
The 10th was regiment OF RanSom's
DrlRduo,
The distinguishing traits of Major Petty
as an officer were his prudence and his
cool bravery in action. The hottest fight
appeared to calm rather than agitate his
spirit. In pleasantly, his commander,
General NJ w. Ransom, used to say OF
him that he would dodge an old chimney
or falling tree but seemed to have no
fears Of flying bullets. His soldiers have
spoken also Of having seen him in the
midst Of hot and dangerous fighting quiet
ly take chew of tobacco and go right on
with his deadly work against the enemy.
AS long as he lived Major Petty took
an unusual interest in the affairs of the
county veterans association. He never
forgot that he had been a soldier. In Au-
gust, 1893, he published in The Gazette
carefully complied roster of his company,
and in July, 1894, he followed this with Il
diary kept by j. +. Rhyme supplemented
by notes Of his own. 1t cost him labor to
prepare these articles but he was alive
to their historical interest and found their
preparation and preservation labor OF
love.
Major Petty for many years held mem
bership in the Providence Baptist church
in Spartanburg county, S. c.; but at the
time Of his death was member OF the
church at Glover. He expressed his en-
tire trust i'm God, and calmly and deliber-
ately made his preparations for eternity.
An humble, neighborly man is gone. A
brave soldier has answered bis last earth
ly roll call and fought his last fight. May
God comfort his bereaved ones and abide
with his comrades.

BETTER SCHEDULES WANTED.

Editor of The Enquirer:
Ordinarily, am opposed to resorting
to the boycott; but think that if there
was ever a time when it was justifiable
now is the time, and the Narrow Gauge
road is the object to be boycotted. The
management seems to be determined that
Yorkyille shall suffer every indignity
and inconvenience that its narrow-mind-
ed picayunishness can suggest. 1t is
possible that circumstances render it
necessary for the mail train to leave
Chester in the morning before the arrival
of the train from Columbia, owing to the
fact that the Narrow Gauge uses the
Southern's track between Newton and
Hickory, and is forced to pass over at
a certain time, as I am informed the
management claims; but there is no
reason in the world why a freight train,
with a coach attached, should not be run
from Lincolnton, or Dallas, or Gastonia,
to Chester and back to the starting point
each day, passing Yorkville, say at about
8 a. m. going south, and 5 p. IN. going
north, thus giving people along the road
the opportunity Of visiting the towns to
the south of them and returning home
the same day.
The management seems to be deter
mined not to do anything that will either
please or benefit the towns on it's line
in South Carolina. 1t occurs to me that
Yorkville is the one town that can strike
back and plant blow between the eyes
of the "People's Own Line" by the busi-
ness men uniting Gf such thing be
possible), and route every pound of
freight they have to ship either in or out
of town, via the S. A. l.. and o. R. Il G.
York and Chester counties, by their
liberal subscriptions, made the building
of the road possible, and its present man
agement should take this fact into ac-
count and not operate the road entirely
in the interest of a section that did prac-
tically nothing toward building it.
In conclusion, would respectfully sug-
gest that public meeting be held at an
early date and the matter considered, and,
if approved Of by the business men Of
the town, let us ''draw the papers" and
go into the arrangement in business
way. MERCHANT.

Gus illness.
Mr.. w. NJ. Potts, who sold out some
three weeks ago and went to Florida, re-
turned to Tirzah on last Tuesday with a
full dose of the Land of Flowers. He
found that the cold weather had killed
out the vegetable crops, and the only job
he could get, or rather that was offered,
was ditching at SO much per cubic foot.
He decided that the best thing to do un-
der the circumstances was to return home.
