A BRIDE WITH SOME GOODS
POINTs.-Some years ago in an agri-
cultural district there lived farmer
who wanted to sell one of his cows.
There was not at that time weekly
paper in which be could advertise, so
he resolved to follow a local custom
and ask the vicar of the parish when
giving out his notices at church to ad-
vertise the COW.
eyes, farmer" said the vicar, 81
should be willing to oblige you, but
you don't attend my church"
Presently, however, they struck a
bargain that the vicar should adver-
tise the cow, and the man in return
promises to 90 to church.
Now, unfortunately the man was
deaf, and on the Sunday following
when the vicar gave out the banns OF
marriage between Joseph So-and-so,
bachelor, and Sarah So-and-so, spin
ster, the farmer took it for granted
that the vicar was giving out particu-
lars of his cow and shouted out:
"You might as well say while you
are about it that she is most gentle
creature and entirely free from vice. "

THIS is the title of the next serial to
i. be published in THE ENQUIRER.
The story is by Charles NJ. Sheldon,
a Presbyterian preacher. 1t was first
published in 1897, and was read by the
author to his congregation in install
ments, in lieu of regular sermons:
Since then the story has been printed
in book form and more than million
copies have been sold; but compare
lively few of them in this section. 1t
is serious reading; but not heavy. 1t is
of absorbing interest, and it Is bound
to prove profitable to the reader. In
fact, we believe it will be found by all
classes to be one Of the most en-
crossing stories they have ever read.
Every chapter deals with matters about
which every reader already has his own
potions, and about things on which
there is much difference of opinion.
There is no trash in this story; but
that will not detract in the least from its
entertaining qualities.
The book is copyrighted. This is
fact, that has been used with more or
less force against the author by his crit
les. With how much justice will appear
best after the reader has gotten we'll in
to the story. THE ENQUIRER, how
ever, has purchased the full right to
publish, and many readers who would
not otherwise have had the privilege
will have an opportunity to enjoy this
unique story.
Tie first chapter will appear within
few weeks.

Carolina Is in South Carolina 81 in

nessee II in Virginia; 10 in Ken
lucky; 7 in Mississippi; 5 in Texas
now the chief cotton state-4 each in
Louisiana and Arkansas-large cotton
producing states-and in Missouri.
These southern cotton mills consume
in a year 100000 bales, or twice as
much as they did FIVE years ago, an
encouraging sign to those familiar
with the opportunities which the south
offers for cotton manufacture.
In addition to the cheapness of labor,
the abundance of water power, the
proximity to the source of products
and the opportunities for ready
market, southern cotton manufacturers
enjoy, when in competition with New
England dealers, a considerable ad-
vantage in climate. The absence OF
severe weather allows the mills to be
operated in the south at all times OF
the year, whereas the temperature in
Massachusetts and Rhode Island fire.
quently interferes with work. The
mills operated by water are much
more likely to freeze in the north than
in the south. The south is less likely
to be affected by hot spell in the
summer than the north. A still more
important climatic condition is the
humidity of the atmosphere. The air
must be moist, otherwise the cotton
yarn will break and so necessary is
the moisture that in many of the En-
glish and northern factories, expensive
machinery is provided to preserve the
proper humidity in the atmosphere,
and it is for this reason that those
Massachusetts mills nearest the ocean
enjoy an advantage which has been
unsuccessfully sought by those either
inland or remote from the sea. The
southern manufacture of cotton is now
an important item in the industrial
prosperity of the south, and the large
increase in the number of looms and
spindles in the year of the record
breaking cotton crop is circumstance
of importance.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1899-09-30


Last Year Largely In the Southern
States.
New York Sun.
The cotton crop of 1s9S-1S99 breaks
all previous records in the United
States, not only crossing the II 100000
bale line, but exceeding the crop Of last
year by $4,000 bales. Two-thirds of
the product of American cotton fields
are exported each year to foregn coun-
tries, the chief market for American
cotton being in England. Other coun-
tries, however, France, Germany, ia
pan, China and Belgium take some.
The most interesting feature of this
years cotton product, perhaps, is the
fact that there has been an enormous
increase in the amount of cotton man
ufactures in southern states compared
with the amount of cotton manufac-
tured in the north, where, heretofore,
the chief cotton factories have been.
The record Of cotton manufacture is
a record of looms and spindles as well
as of the number of mills in operation,
and of the pumber of bales of cotton
consumed. Compared with year
ago, there has been an increase in the
whole northern region of the United
States of $4,000 spindles only, whereas
the south has gained more than 3OO,-
900 spindles or six times as much. The
total number of spindles in both parts
of the country was 17,5O0,0OO last
wear, and, as may be seen, the increase
in the south has been relatively very
much larger. In 1894, there were q
100000 spindles in the IL southern
states in which there was any appre-
ciable amount of cotton manufactured.
In 1896, the total had risen to 2,701,-
900. In 1895, it was 3,500,O0O and
this year it is 100000. The gain in
the number of looms was correspond
1ngly large, from $4,000 in 1894 to TO-
600 in 1896, $1,000 in 1898 and $4,000
this year.
1t has been a matter of wonder why
in southern states where cotton is
raised, water power is abundant, labor
is cheap, rents are small, knowledge
of cotton and cotton goods extensive
and the opportunities for the invest
ment of capital comparatively few,
there should be such a small amount
of cotton manufacture, and the cotton
dealers should find profit in shipping
at considerabl expense, their product
either to New England factories or
abroad. 1t has been pointed out fire.
quently that probable element in the
future prosperity in the new or indus
trial south would he found in the more
general manufacture Of cotton goods
nearer the chief source of cotton sup
ply. There are now Ala such mills in
| the south, of which 16S are in North

would hardly allow war to be fought
unless they participated in it, even if
only to demonstrate to the white man
that they still retain their old-time
courage and ability"
In conclusion Mr.. Hillegas thus
summarizes the present situation
"Both the Transvaal and England
are fully prepared for war, and diplo-
macy can only postpone its coming.
The Uitlanders present demands may
be conceded but others that will fol-
low will not fare so well. A coverted
country will always be the object of
attacks by stronger power and the
aggressor generally succeeds in secur-
ing from the weaker victim whatever
he desires. Whether the British SOL
diers will be obliged to fight the Beers
alone in order to crafty the wishes of
their government, or whether the
enemy will be almost the entire white
and black population of South Africa,
will not be definitely known until the
British troopships start for Cape Town
and Durham. Whichever enemy it
will be, the British government will at
tack and will pursue in no half-hearted
or half.prepared manner, as it has done
in previous campaigns in the country.
The Beers will be able to resist and to
prolong the campaign to perhaps eight
months or a year but they will finally
be obliterated from amongst the nations
of the earth. 1t will cost the British
empire much treasure and many lives,
but it will satisfy those who caused it
the politicians and the SPECTATORS"

RECIPE FOR RAINMAKING.
Subsulphuric Acid, Water and Zinc Create
Artificial Storms.

Subsulphuric Acid, Water and Zinc Create
Artificial Storms.
Some years ago Kansas was overrun
with so-called "rainmakers," who did
thriving business in vicinities afflict-
ed with drought. The Rock Island
railroad had a rainmaker who travel
ed about the country in special car
and made rain from Texas to Iowa.
At the time the process employed was
guarded as secret, and no doubt the
mystery surrounding the operation
had much to do with the interest
aroused among the people. But now
comes George Matthews in the Wichi-
ia Eagle with a full exposition Of the
means employed by the Rock Island
wizard and others, and the following is
the recipe given by him
"Ten fluid ounces of subsul phuric
acid.
"Fifty fluid ounces of water.
Give ounces of zinc.
"Reuew every hour and stir every 80
minutes day and night until rain comes.
The moment rain begins to fall remove
jar or crock. In territory west of
Kansas use one-third less ; at sea level
use double the quantity. In Kansas
work only on southerly winds, which
are the moisture bearing winds. Be-
gin an experiment only in clear sky.
One station of the experiment, if sue
cessful, will produce rain 30 to 30
miles in diameter. A better and more
certain result can be secured by having
three or more stations 40 or so miles
apart"
According to Mr.. Matthews, this
mixture left in an open mouthed jar
generates hydrogen gas, which rapidly
ascends. The theory is that this gas
ascending creates shaft through the
hot air down which the cold air rushes,
creating a storm center and gathering
moisture for precipitation. Matthews
claims that of the 200 experiments
made by him at least 1SO were sue
cessful.- kansas City Journal.

A Good
Pocket Knife

Is a rare article, although it
is a very desirable thing to
have around. The principal
reason that so few people own
good knives is that they either
make no effort to get them or
60 to the wrong store to buy
them. At my place you can
get from the most delicate and
elaborately trimmed pen knife
to the strongest Jack Knife of
the best qualities at very close
prices. Besides a full stock
