. when TO STOP ADVERTISING.

An English journal requested num-
ber of it's largest advertisers to give
their opinions concerning the right time
to stop advertising, and the following
replies were received:
When the population ceases to multi
ply, and the generations that crowd on
after you and never heard Of you stop
coming on.
When you have convinced everybody
whose life will touch yours that you
have better goods and lower prices than
they can get anywhere else.
When others stop making fortunes
right in your sight solely through the
direct use Of the mighty agent.
When you forget the words. of the
shrewdest and most successful men
concerning the main. cause Of their
prosperity.
When younger and fresher houses in
your line cease starting up and using
the. newspapers in telling the people
how much better they can do for them
than you can.
When you would rather have your
own way and fail than take advice and
win.
An additional hint might be given In
these words:
When you have decided to shut up
shop for good.

WE beg leave to call the attention of
DR.. Strait to the fact that if he made
anything by his abuse Of Senator Nc
Laurin in this county, the vote fails to
show it. If it is fact that Strait was
turned down by York county voters be-
cause of his attack upon Senator Nc
Laurin three years ago, and we believe
the doctor lost votes by his unfairness,
it is also a fact that the voters did not
believe the doctor this time when he
claimed that Senator McLaurin has be-
trayed them. The people Of York coun-
ty know that this is not true. If Doc
tor Strait still believes that Senator
McLaurin was his principal obstacle in
York county, we beg to call his atten-
ton to the fact that in this, his fourth
race against Finley, he received fewer
votes than ever before. Doctor Strait,
of course, is not in it any more; but it
is important that these facts should go
in the record.

FREE ANTI-TOXIN.

THE ENQUIRER has IS to be used for
the benefit Of diphtheria patients whose
parents may be destitute of the means
to pay for the anti-toxin remedy in
case of need. THAT sum was placed in
the hands Of the editor on Wednesday
by Yorkville gentleman, with the fol-
lowing comments and instructions:
II have been thinking Of the sug-
gestion in THE ENQUIRER to the effect
that in the present emergency there
should be neighborhood funds for the
purchase of anti-toxin for destitute
diphtheria sufferers.
1T occurs to me that although the
emergency may not have yet arisen, If
it does arise the need will be very
great, and it should be anticipated. It
is not likely that any Of our physicians
would let a child die before they would
pay the price Of an anti-toxin injec-
ton; but all of the physicians, no
doubt, have to do more or less free
practice in such destitute cases, and
to leave them to bear this expense also
seems unfair. Take this S. and hold
it subject to the order Of any physician
In the county who may call for 1t, in a
case where he would have otherwise
had to pay for the anti-toxin himself.
hope 1t will become the nucleus Of a
fund that will be made sufficient to
provide for all such cases.. If such
fund Is raised it may serve as a safe
guard against a possible epidemic OF
diphtheria, and the subscribers will be
more than repaid the trifling amounts
of their subscription"
THE ENQUIRER has accepted the S.
so generously offered, and will pay It
out to the first practicing physician
who makes, requisition upon US for 1t.
The only condition we will impose is
that the physician make application IN
writing, giving the name OF the pa
tient etc. We want the information
not for publication; but merely as
means Of accounting to the donor for
the disposition of the fund.
The reporter on Thursday advised
the York Drug Store and ]. M. Starr &
Co., of the contribution referred to
above, and the conditions under which
it was made. Both DR.. Hannahan and
Mr.. Starr said they would take pleas
ure in furnishing all the anti-toxin
that might be required in this way, at
net cost, donating their trouble and
profit to the benefit Of the suggested
fund

THE SECOND PRIMARY.

Having made the same arrangements
as in the first primary election, 1t Is
the intention Of THE ENQUIRER to
print, in next Wednesdays edition, the
returns from next Tuesdays primary.
Inasmuch as both the state and
county tickets are much shorter than
was the case in the first primary, 1t
Is not likely that so much time Will be
consumed in counting the votes. Still,
there is no other way for 1t than that
we must again miss the South Carolina

AS to the Carolina and Northwest

dent happens, we expect to have In al!

THE HEAVENS DURING SEPTEMBER

THE HEAVENS DURING SEPTEMBER
The starry heavens are very attractive
during this month. Perhaps the grand
est sight is from 2 a. m, till daylight.
If any of our readers are awake then
they should not fail to walk out and
turn their eyes upward. Venus, the
star Of love and beauty, appears in all
her splendor two hours before daylight.
Just a little ahead Of her is that fiery
planet, Mars. Mercury will hardly be
visible this month without telescope.
The evening heavens are also very
bright and beautiful. There was an
occultation Of Jupiter and Uranus with
in a few hours Of each other the first
day. On the 29th Jupiter and Saturn
will be occulted by the moon, but not
visible on our side of the earth.-Spar-

>-ABOUT DIPHTHERIA.

Upon inquiry Of the local physicians
it appears that although there has not
yet been any diphtheria in Yorkville
the town Is almost entirely surround
ed by the disease. Cases have been re-
ported from the south, west north and
east, throughout the Immediately con.
tiguous neighborhoods, extending from
the Sutton springs road on around to
the Tirzah road.
The total number Of cases reported
during the past few weeks aggregate
more than 100; but so far there has
been only four deaths. One of the vic
tins was a 3-year-old son of Mr.. o.
car Allison, Of Tirzah, and the other
victims were colored children. 1t is
stated that Mr.. Allisons little child re-
covered from the diphtheria; but died
Of paralysis, occasioned by the disease.
For the benefit Of the public unac-
customed to diphtheria symptoms,
the reporter called upon DR.. Walker
yesterday for a statement as to how
the disease is diagnosed. DR.. Walker
was glad to give the information, and
he made it so plain that almost any
body should be able to tell case of
diphtheria on sight. He said:
THE first symptom is a slight cold
that does not seem especially serious;
but within "a hours afterward examina-
ton will show a swelling of the throat,
and a yellowish- white deposit on one
or both Of the tonsils. The patient does
not yet experience great deal Of dis
comfort. I have known children thus
affected to continue their play, and
suddenly fall down in a fit Of suffoca-
tion that would produce death within a
few hours. Should there be no crisis,
the yellowish-white deposit generally
remains for six or eight days, when it
goes away.
ITO get the best results from the
anti-toXin treatment, there should be
an injection within "a hours after the
discovery of the presence Of diphtheria.
It Is a case Of the sooner the better.
Where the injection is made in time
anti-toxin is an absolute remedy. The
longer the injection is delayed, how
ever, the greater the danger. Anti
toxin will destroy diphtheria at any
stage; but after the disease has pro-
gressed to certain point blood poison
ing often sets in and causes death.
This can be prevented by injecting an
ti-toXin In time. Whether ant1-toXin

Is used or not, there Is always danger
of paralysis, following the disappear
.ance Of the yellowish-wh membra-
nous coating. The best safeguard
against the paralysis is absolute quiet.
Where anti-toxin is used in time
after the appearance Of the yellowish-
white coating in the throat, change
for the better Is noted within "a hours,
and at the end Of 4S hours this coating
should have entirely disappeared"
DR.. Walker has handled large
number Of cases Of diphtheria, both
with and without anti-toxin, and he
knows all about the disease. What he
has to say is likely to prove Of value.

SAYS a Monroe, N. c., dispatch
Monday. to the Charlotte Observer:

The Waxhaw dispensary is to be
closed. The decision to close up is said
to be the result of a revival meeting
now in progresss there, conducted by
Rev. J. W. Little. Since beginning the
meeting Mr.. Little has been making
every effort to have the dispensary
removed. Yesterday the authorities
met and agreed to go out of business
and gave instructions to that effect.
After all this is about the most effect
i've way that has ever been known for
the closing Of dispensaries. In view of
the recent demoralizing work that has
been done by Senator B. R. Tillman
throughout South Carolina, we are OF
the opinion that a season of earnest
prayer may help the situation very
materially here.

GLENCOE IS ON THE HIGH ROAD
.. Hunter Williams Of Glencoe Gives
His Town q Big boost.

Guthrie, o. T, Oct. 26-J. Hunter VII
liams, this week in his paper, the 'Glenco
Mirror, thus opens a lengthy article de-
scriptive of his towns boomfulness. He
says: zeal estate and business changes
have been taking place at a lively rate
in Glenco during the past week, showing
a more healthy state Of affairs than has
been known before. People who have
money to invest are looking with more
favor on Glenco, and the fact shows con-
clusively that the man who holds back
from now on is going to lose money by
It, for property will never be cheaper
than it is right now. The future Of the
town is no longer In question. The sta
bility Of its business enterprises, the en-
orgy and business tact of its business
men, have begun to show themselves
and there is a confidence that has not
heretofore shown itself. The Mirror has
been in general demand by persons who
are interested in Glenco and it reflects
such a substantial state OF affairs that
those who had little faith are coming to
believe in the town as one Of the most
thriving little business centers in the
territory. 1t is these facts that has
brought about the changes that have
taken place the past week"

| derstood, but il was evident that their
| family relations were anything but pleas
ant. Throughout the whole trial both OF
/ them wanted 10 talk at the same time.
| When one would make statement that
| did not accord with the others story.
/ the other one would call a halt.
| The old lady in her testimony said that
| the old gentleman abused her she said
! that ne was in the habit OF cursing her.
The old man then put in that she also
cursed him and treated him in the same
manner. One of the crimes which Mrs.
Romel alleged against her husband was
that he would go to town and get a bot
tie Of whisky and then bring IT home
and drink it ali down without giving her
any.
You didn't want any did you. Mrs
Romel?" asked Mr.. King. attorney for
Mrs Romel
Yes. 1 did," she affirmed.
It was alleged by both Mrs Romel and
her son and daughter that when Mr.
Romel would get his pension money It
would disappear in mysterious man
ner. Accordingly Judge Haymaker asked
Mr. Romel what he did with his money.
THAT is my own business" declared
RomeL II gave that fellow two dollars
once that ne never deserved" said ne.
as he pointed to King.
When Mrs. Romei testified that she ala
not receive any OF the money the gen
tleTnan declared that he offered her haif
and she said that II she could not have
any more than that she would not take
any. Mrs. Romel admitted that she had
been offered some money az one time.
but that she did not know how much he
had IN his hand when he made the offer
Mr.. Romel made his wife and son admit
that he helped pay for some machinery
which they had bought. He claimed that
he had given money a other times FOR
the general expenses Of the family.
Taking everything into consideration.
the court decided that It would he best
for all parties 10 have a guardian ap-
pointed for the old gentleman. The jury
returned a verdict stating that the evil
dence showed that he - an habitual
drunkard. The names OF the iurymen
were: DIT. ". z. Parr. z. ". white, 7.
C Bright. George Eby, and Thomas
HOss.
Judge Haymaker will appoint some one
out in the neighborhood where the Rom
els I've for Mr. Romel's guardian. The
old gentleman consented 10 the action
OF the court and desired that the post
nnaster Of Colwich be appointed.
