In Charge of the Arlington.
Charlotte Observer: Mr.. f. r. Avery,
of Rock Hill, S. c., and family, have
moved to Charlotte to live, Mr.. Avery
having leased the Arlington hotel for
1893. Mrs. Avery is well-known in Char
lotte. She was Miss Lucy Ivy, of Rock
Hill. She and husband are cordially
welcome to the "Queen City" Mr.. w.
F. Buchanan, owner and proprietor of
the Arlington, has, during his proprietor
ship, put the Arlington on paying basis,
and Mr.. Avery's work now will be to
keep it up. No doubt he will do it.
Emancipation Day.
The colored people of Yorkville and
community celebrated Emancipation Day
last Saturday as usual. 1t was rather too
cold and blustery for comfort, especially
for the colored people; but, all the same,
they fiocked into town in large numbers
and lined the streets during the whole
day. There was a procession of horse
back riders, and Negro men, women and
children in carriages, and the demonstra-
ton was very enthusiastic. Good order
prevailed on the streets throughout the
day, and altogether the occasion passed
off pleasantly enough to the participants.
Pleased With McOuary.
Mr.. William Caldwell, of Kings Creek,
was in Yorkville few days ago, and
was much interested in Mr.. McQuary,
the young man who is going around the
world for wife. Young McQuary stop
ped at Mr.. Caldwell's the night before he
came to Yorkville. "He came up to my
house about DUSK" said Mr.. Caldwell,
land asked if he could stay all night.
Dressed up in that strange rig, hardly
knew what to make of the young fellow !;
but, of course, told him would enter
tain him. He told me his story just as it
was afterward published in The ENoUIR-
Err, and assured me that he was not after
imposing upon anybody; but was pre-
pared to pay for all that he got. I found
him, as the paper, said, modest and un-
assuming, but very interesting company.
1 had no idea of charging him anything
for his nights lodging but next morning
he claimed that our trouble was certainly
worth something, and insisted that my
wife take a half dollar. We were all very
much interested to read about him down
in Yorkville, and we are on the lookout
for those letters he has promised to write
for the paper"

FIRE INSURANCE..

MYTH the present year, my fire in
w surance agency enters upon the
eighth year of its existence, and since 1
represent four Of the strongest American
companies-and they are all American
through and through-I am with this
experience better able to give you careful
ly written, gilt-edge indemnity against
loss by fire than ever before. no
one who knows of the existence OF the
great business of fire insurance or the
necessity therefor, can fail to see why
it is necessary to protect their life savings
from this property destroying agent. BY
some unforeseen accident your house may
be destroyed in day and you rendered
homeless. The ETNA Insurance Co.,
of Hartford, Is in my agency, and anyone,
no matter who, who knows anything Of
the great fire insurance companies of this
continent, will tell you that THE ETNA
sis the leading American company" in
point of assets, and through correspOn-
dence and by personal contact with the
management of this great company, for
the past three years, 1 am convinced
that no other continent can boast OF its
with as much pleasure as it receives your
premiums. Closely following the Etna
is the old CONTINENTAL of New
York, who contributed one million five
hundred thousand dollars to the great
"Chicago illumition," and then assessed
her stockholders 100 per cent. increasing
the capital stock from $500, 900 to 81 900, 600!
I represent the PENNSYLVANIA and
the DELAWARE, either of which is as
as good as the two first mentioned. These
great fire insurance companies. while in
in no manner dependent on this locality
for prosperous and profitable business,
AM, and you have my word for it, that
any business placed in my charge Will
be appreciated and protected by the COM
panies and myself alike. Thanking you
all for past favors and the confidence be-
slowed, in the future promise to strive
harder to retain it. When you want trust
worthy and reliable fire insurance, see

MERE-MENTION,

Mark Hanna will no doubt be elected
senator by the Ohio general assembly ;
but, all the same, his opponents are going
to try to give him hard rub for the posi-
ton. .'...'''.'Heavy snow storms have been
prevailing throughout the north during
the past week. ALL of the northeast
ern cotton mills are reducing wages. ''''''''
The dispute between the French and
English in Africa still looks more or less
ominous; but the probability is that it
will be settled automatically. ut is
probable that Miss Clara Barton, OF the
Red Cross society, will go to Cuba to dis
tribute such relief as may be contributed
by Americans and others.

In Conclusion, Let Me
Say That I Would Not
Pretend to Farm Without It.

CEVEN YEARS ago, Mr.. w. Holmes
- Hardin, Of Chester county, enjoyed
the distinction of being one of the most
practical and successful farmers in the
Piedmont section, and according to the
best information at hand he still ranks
among the first. The appended endorse
ment of the Corbin Disk Harrow was
written by him in March, 1890, and what
he said then we are sure he will endorse
CHESTER. q. c., March q, 1890.
SAM NJ. GRIsT, Yorkville, s. c.: Dear
Sir: have owned Corbin Disk Harrow
for several years, and consider it the most
useful and economical farming imple-
ment of which 7 have any knowledge.
Mr.. C0rbin has done more for the farmer
than all the politicians, reformers, etc.,
combined. He has done something prac,,
teal. No farmer can fail to be oenehtted
by the use of the Harrow, and the more 1t
is used the greater the benefit or profit.
It is almost the only so-called improved
farming implement that have ever seen
that would do all its manufacturers claim
ed for it. and the only one that would do
more. Every farmer should have one,
and a man who is able to buy fertilizers
for his land is more able to buy Corbin
Disk Harrow. The time will come when
the Corbin Disk Harrow will he consider
ed as much of necessity on the farm as
the wagon, sewing machine, cooking
stove, and might say, the ploW and the
sooner it comes the better for the farmer.
1t only takes farmer, who has been ac-
customed to the old way of doing things,
about one hour to realize how much time
and labor he has literally wasted before
he used the Corbin Harrow. In conclu.
sion, let me say that would not pretend
to farm without it. Respectfully,
w. HOLMES HARDIN.
We sell the GENUINE CORBIN DISK
HARROW. 1t has never had success
full rival. If you want so-called Spad-
ing or Cutaway, we can furnish you one
made by the manufactures of the Corbin.
The Corbin has solid disks and they are
the best; but as stated we can furnish the
other if you prefer to take the opinion OF
someone who has had less eA perience than
we, and will furnish the best harrow OF
that pattern on the market. It's mechan-
ism is identically the same as the Corbin,
the only difference being in the disks.

WE desire to return our most sincere

a close. We began the year with little or
no experience; but think we have some

than ever before to serve those who may
patronize us during the year 1893. We
shall employ first class workmen and use
first class material. With this combina-
ton, we are satisfied that we can satisfy
every customer.
Wishing all merry Christmas, and
that they may receive liberal reward fol
their labor during 1893, we remain,

which he heartily seconded the resolu-
tions of Mr.. Miller. He thought, how
eyer, that the last clause was unnecessary,
for the reason that if the farmers of York
county would reduce to 10 acres of cotton
to the horse and devote their surplus ell
ergies to diversified crops, they would be
much better off even whether the cotton
growers of other states should take SINH
lar action or not. He did not think that
there was any overproduction of cotton {;
but thought that the present trouble was
due to the gold standard. A reduction OF
acreage throughout the south would tenn
porarily advance prices; but there can
be no permanent improvement until there
is a wholesome revision of the currency
system.
Mr.. w. J. Davis thought that reduc-
ton down to 10 acre was rather too big a
lump all at once. 1t developed, as the
opinion of the convention, however, that
while in Fort Mill township the average
is something like 25 acres to the horse,
taking the county as a whole, it is not
much over 10 or Is acres. Mr.. Davis
withdrew his objection.
The point was raised that reduction
of the cotton crop to 10 acres to the mule
might prove a considerable hardship on
poor renters. Mr.. Miller stated that, in
his opinion, what was good for the large
farmer was also good for the small farmer.
Two years ago he advised two croppers
on his place not to plant more than 10
acres of cotton to the plow. They did not
like the idea at first but did as he said
and have since been getting along better
than they ever did before. No one need
have any fears of being unable to utilize
surplus labor in case of reduction OF
acreage. He can SOW wheat, plant pota-
toes, sorghum, corn etc., and make his
work much more profitable than is possi-
BILE with five cents cotton.
The question of adopting Mr.. Miller's
plan of procedure was finally put and
carried by unanimous vote.
On motion, resolution was adopted
authorizing the president to fill, by ap-
pointment, any vacancies which may oc-
cur in the Office of vice-president. This
resolution was suggested by the recent
death of Mr.. w. NJ. McGill, vice-presi-
dent for Broad River township. The
president has appointed in his place Mr..
J. Ed Leech.
Captain w. H. Edwards offered reso-
luton to the effect that it was the sense of
the convention that the lien law of South
Carolina be repealed. He said that the
repeal of the lien law would accomplish
more than any other one measure in the
reduction of the cotton crop.
Many of those who had previously been
in attendance had left the hall before this
was offered, and there were only few to
vote on it. The resolution, however, was
adopted by divided vote.
There being no further business, upon
motion of Mr.. w. J. Miller the conven-
ton adjourned to hold its next meeting
on the first Monday in March.
