Protect
Your Homes !

TN the three words above is, think,
l. really an unnecessary command, for
by the very nature of things, it is the
innate purpose Of every living creature,
even unto the fowls of the air, to protect
their homes from all kinds of trespassers
and destroying elements. Through a
thoughtless notion of economy though,
there are many men Of today who are
allowing their otherwise fine and hand
some homes to 60 to ruin for the lack of
coat or two Of paint, when by its appli-
cation the house will be beautified and
its exterior protected from the never re-
lenting destroying atmospheric elements.
Paint is cheaper than weatherboarding
and yet by applying the paint you increase
the life of the Misunderstanding almost in
definitely. MASURY'S RAILROAD
PAINT IS THE BEST.
1T WON'T SCALE.
1T WON'T CRACK!
1T WON'T PEEL OFF.
There are thousands of paints that are
inferior to MASURY'S but not one SUI
perior. When you paint your buildings,
use the best. have had years of expert
ence and it teaches me that MASURY'S
is my mascot. Sold at Sl.25 gallon the
best oil at 45 cents. See my color card and
let me give. you any other information
desired. Z. B. MCCLAlN,

ETA JANE, January lI.-Farmers are
turning their stuhble lands and sowing
oats.
Many of the sweet potatoes are rotting
in the bank and seed will, no doubt, be
very scarce at bedding time.
Miss Mamie Crosby has good school
at this place. Superintendent OF Educa-
ton Macarthur hasn't yet decided how
long the public schools of the county will
continue this season.
One day last week one of our Cherokee
county boys got a good ducking III Broad

chant of Rock Hill, is also among the ex-
cursion party. Mr.. Mobley lives at Rock
Hill, but most of his business interests
are located in the old Waxhaws district,
in Lancaster county. Mr.. Mobley comes
to Charleston partly on business and part
ly on pleasure. He spent the greater part
of Yesterday down on East Bay buying
up supply of goods for his retail houses.
Mr.. Mobley thinks that this city is allow
ing great deal of trade to slip by her
which rightfully belongs here. The peo-
ple interested in the welfare of Charleston
are beginning to realize this fact, and
from now on he believes that they will
exercise strenuous efforts to secure all OF
this business.
Mr.. j. G.. Anderson, superintendent of
the Rock Hill Buggy company, IS regis
tered at the Calhoun. Mr.. Anderson IS Il
business man in every sense OF the term.
He organized the company OF which he
is now in charge, and under his clear
headed supervision it has grown to be
one of the most thriving manufacturing
industries in the state. Mr.. Anderson Is
also firm believer in the excursion plan,
and is certain that much good will result
to all interested in the affair, both direct
ly and indirectly.
Mr.. John K. AShe, general manager OF
the Yorkville Cotton Mills, is another
prominent visitor. He is here in the in
terest of the corporation with which he is
connected. He is always on the sharp
lookout for anything that will prove ben,
eficial to Yorkville or its industries, and
he believes that certain shipments made
by way of Charleston will not only save
his company money; but will be to the
good of this city. He had great many
matters to look into yesterday, and he ac-
complished what he thought To be very
fair days work. Charleston has mag
niticent harbor, and he sees no reason
why she should not do twice the amount
of business along the water front that she
is now doing.

WAITS FROM WARREN'S.

Correspondence Of the Yorkville ENQUIRER.
WARREN, January 20.-After a few
weeks silence, I will again let the read
ers of THE ENQUIRER know that we are
still alive and on the move down here.
We had our share of fun and pleasure
during the holidays and now since they
are over, the schools have all resumed
work and the farmers are preparing to
start another crop.
We have had remarkably dry winter
so far, and the blackjacks roads, which
at this season Of the year are generally al
most impossible, are, with the exception
of some bad places, nice and hard; but
this NOR ming the clouds are dark and
lowering, and it is not likely that they
will remain nice very long.
Little Kate, daughter of Mr.. j. A. Gar
rison, had the misfortune to get her arm
broken between the elbow and wrist
about ten days ago. A physician was
summoned at once, and the broken bone
was set, and is getting along nicely.

1t was quite a loss to Mrs. Duncan.
We received the sad news late yester-
day evening that Mr.. G. D. Pearson's
youngest child, some two or three years
old, died of Group yesterday morning.
The child was sick only short time and
died before medical aid could be procured.
We extend our deepest sympathy to the
sorrow stricken family. May the Lord
comfort and console them in their sad
bereavement.
Our Gospel Temperance union will
meet next Saturday night and hold a
preparatory service for our next general
meeting, of which I will make mention
later.
Mr.. D. S. Bates, of Charlotte, was down

health of the community is very good.

STUDY--WORK.

1898 has knocked and the door
of the future has been opened
unto it, and as to what it shall be
is matter entirely with us-just
what we make it. Plan with
your brain and work with your
hands. Work intelligently and
work persistently and all will be
we'll. We have settled down to
hard work and are now ready for
business. We have a complete
line of the best and most select
Fancy and Family Groceries to-
gether with all kinds of Planta-
tions Supplies, and in few days
expect to make contracts for our
annual supply of fertilizers. In
the meantime we solicit the pat
ronage of all trustworthy and re-
liable customers. Recognizing
the fact that there are others
catering to the same kind of
trade as ourselves, and desiring
to be charitable toward them, we
refrain from quoting prices at
this time; but will leave that to
you for investigation.
Everybody recognizes us as
headquarters for fine Flour, and
no one can beat us on Shingles
or Laths.

At MONCK,S CORNER.

T. Allen McQuary, the young man who
is going around the world for sweet
heart, was at Monck's Corner, in Berke-
" county, last Monday, on his way to
Charleston. The following letter to The
ENQUIRER, written on that day by MIR.
Harry R. Smith, was received on Tues
day afternoon:
"Mr. r. Allen McQuary reached here
today; but only remained long enough
to get a shave and have the postmaster
stamp his book.
"We have no barber shop here, but
good barber; and as had read about the
young man in THE ENQUIRER, 1 ten
dered him the use of my room, which ne
accepted with thanks.
"I told him about that letter from the
editors of the Neosho Times, and he was
very anxious to see the paper, which
hunted up for him. He said that the
editors of The Times had tried to get him
to write letters to their paper while on the
trip; but as he did not care to undertake e
such work for them, he declined to prom
Use, and their letters down this way are
intended to put them even. But he did
not appear to be worried about the letter.
To meet such annoyances as these, he
said, was part of his contract.
"McQuary asked me if 1 wrote home
to be sure and tell THE ENQUIRER peo-
pie not to be uneasy about those letters he
promised to write from Cuba, for just so
sure as he gets to Cuba and back again to
Key West, he will write to THE EN-
QUIRER.
HE and his greyhounds appeared to
be bright and in good spirits; but bis
horse was badly crippled, so much so, in
fact, that he was unable to ride it. He
left here on foot with his horse and grey
hounds following behind. 1t was his cal
culation to get to Charleston tomorrow
night. and he thought that he would sail
for Cuba at once.
"I would write more; but have only
time now to get this in the mail"

Rev. Mr.. Creech, of the NJ. K. church,

He met the class there last Friday. He
is good singer and a fine organist, so l
am told.
Our Baptist brethren speak of getting
an organ at Abingdon Creek for the use
OF the Sabbath school at that place.
Rumor says that some of our neighbcrs
who went to Texas several years ago, are
back here looking for homes. What's
the matter? Has the ''fiitter" trees quit
bearing and the honey ponds dried up !?
There is no country better than old South
Carolina if given fair showing.

SCHOOL TRUSTEES.

The regular semi-annual meeting Of the
York county school trustees was held in
the office of Superintendent of Education
Shurley last Thursday with eight dis
tricts represented.
The advisability of allowing colored
schools to lie maintained in church build
ings was discussed. The objection to
such an arrangement was stated to he the
fact that in every case there were among
the patrons of the school, one or more
members who belong to different denom-
nations from that which owns the build
ing, and, as the result, there arise misun-
derstandings which keep many of the pu-
pills out of school. No definite action was
taken; but it was the sense Of the meet
ing that the use of church buildings for
school houses he discontinued as circum-
stances would allow.
The question of keeping open the book
depository also came up and was discuss
ed. Some of the trustees took the posi-
ton that it was important that the deposi-
tory be open all days of the week. Mr..
Shurley said that this was impossible, for
the TSdSOll lIlttl lHc la" AipooSu NPoi 'i'iA
the duty of visiting the schools, and the
pay of the office was not sufficient to war
rant him in employing assistance. 1t
was agreed to memorabilia the legislature
to amend the law so as to specify on what
days the book depository should be kept
open.
Something was said about providing
pay for school trustees in the discharge
of certain duties requiring time and labor.
No action was taken.
There was talk of having made map
of York county setting forth, with rea-
sonable accuracy, township and school
districts lines. There are on hand, it is
thought, sufficient funds for this purpose,
and the idea met with general favor.
Mr.. Shurley's statement shows that the
book depository was started with about
S4OO capital, and so far has sold about
$500 worth of books. The margin of
profit to cover necessary expenses,
has been from one-half a cent to about
one cent on each book, and with the
stock and cash now on hand, he finds that
he is few dollars ahead.
