not nearly enough. About a half mile
from the mill there is a small stream
that carries a sufficiency Of water, and
by means of a large pump, worked py
electric power, this stream has peen
made available. The pump has a ca
pacity Of 125,000 gallons OF water oay'
and the stream is able to furnish TINS
amount. From now on the water prop
lem will cease to be bane to the lives
Of the managers OF the mill.
Escaped From the Gang.
William Edwards, who has been
serving a sentence on the chaingang
for stealing, made his escaped last
Tuesday night, and was followed some
distance by the dogs without success.
When last seen he was about nVe miles
northeast of Yorkville, making nus way
to the North Carolina line. Edwards Is
an ex-penitentiary convict. having
spent about eight years in that insti-
tuition. He is bright mulatto ABOUT
35 years Of age, 5 feet 10 inches hlgn'
black hair and eyes. While in the pen
itentiary he acquired the habit OF tip
ming his hat to white people and say
ing "yes, sir" and mo, sir to ques-
tions. The supervisor Of York county
wants him bad enough to pay $z5 re-
ward for him.
The Growing Crop.
There is much difference OF opin-
ion as to the condition Of the growing
cotton crop in this section, some hold
ing that the yield will be better than
usual, and others holding that 1t Will
not be so good. A local cotton buyer,
who made a trip to Tirzah, Wednes-
day, has given the reporter the result
of a little Investigation he made on the
road. In passing along the road where
fields cultivated by separate owners
come together" he said, II got out OF
the buggy and counted the bolls on
nine stalks on either side of the road.
I made no effort to select the poorest
or the best. On one side the average
of nine stalks was seven full grown
bolls to the stalk. and on the other 1t
was nine bolls to the stalk. A little
further on, I made another similar
count, and on one side found an aver
age of twelve full grown bolls against
an average of fifteen full grown boils
on the other I am satisfied that eth
er Of the fields would average more
than seven bolls to the stalk all over,
and this is generally considered to be
very satisfactory CROP" The cotton
man went on to say that in his opin-
ion the York county cotton crop prom
ises better than at this date last year.

CHAPTER TWO.


Our first advertisement under this heading almost
Immediately bore bountful harvest, and the quick
sponse from the people of Yorkvle and vicinity to give
Yorkve merchants consideration in buying goods has
shown concusively that the people willing to pa
tronize home merchants if the home merchants show
disposition and willingness cater to their wishes and
ancies But let us carry this point little further and
carry further dear reader wish you to bear in
mind that there is nothing vndctve personal in what
say but take it for granted that f the cap fits you
you will wear it," Turn your mind backward 1900
years to the Biblical story of the "Wdows Mite" You
will remember that the poor widow commended more
for the Offering of her pance, than the man who
gave of his great wealth. Now let localize and mod
ernze the story which do with all reverence to the
Bible story Mr. John Doe who lives in Yorkvlle, earns
5000 year, and Mr. John Roe also lives in Yorkvile
and earns ST. 500 year. Both get the money they earn
either directly indirectly from the people of Yokve
and York county, John Doe may be ditch digger,
wood hauler blacksmith; but when he spends his
money he puts in the hands of local dry goods gro
GERS furniture men, druggists, butchers liverymen, and
so on and the time contributes his portion to the
churches and to the town. county and state taxes John
Roe may be druggist merchant, lawyer, doctor or
an oficehoder and he contributes his portion the
church, and pays his town. county and state taxes hese
things won't come through the mail but when he buys
dry goods, groceries, drugs furniture and on John
Roe sends off mail order and pays for money order
bank exchange, we'll express or freight charges.
Now, please figure the above and tell who contrib
ues the greatest proportion to the prosperity of the
munity? Is it John Doe, the ditch-dgger? Or is it
John Roe the merchant professional man !? We are
willing to abide by your decision.
Please remember that there is nothing personal in
the above but we are simply making broad gauge ar
gument broad gauge people whom, believe, are

er before has there been such an ef-
fort put forth 10 produce rich dccora-
tive effects. These are to he seen in
the symmetrical arrangement OF the
buildings around spacious courts. the
glow of color upon al the buildings,
the play of fountains and cascades, the
profuson of blossoming flowers. the
generous use of intricate nodded orna-
ments upon the buildings, the great
number of sculptured groups by ia
nous American sculptors and at night
the softly dfiused yet brilliant lighting
effects produced by means of more
than 100000 lncandescent electric
lamps upon buildings and throughout
the grounds.
The grounds of the Exposition COM
prise some $50 acres. very accessible
by steam and electric lines from all
parts of Buffalo. When it Is recalled
that 1t was only the 4th day of last
June that the first piece of timber was
raised nloft as the beginning of what
is now magnificent Exposition city.
one can but marvel at the executive
force which has brought this work TO
its present state of completeness.
The cost of the Exposition as 1t now
appears is approximately S1o,00o,00o,
exclusive of exhibits. or this sum the
Midway represents an expenditure of
about S3.0o0.O00 Nothing seems to
have been forgotten in perfecting the
plan. and there Is every convenience
for the visitor and an abundance for
him to examine and enjoy. The admis-
sion price Is the same as usual at expo
sitions. half dollar. but it entities one

scriptions, and nm abundance for every
one to see, no matter how long he may
choose to remain. The most novel ex-
hibits perhaps are to be found In the
Electricity building. for in that pnrtic-
ular science wonderful strides have
been made within the last few years.
Notably among these is the transform
err plant. where 5000 horsepower is re-
ceived from Niagara Falls by cable Mt
a pressure of 1000 volts and stepped
down to l,S00 volts. This power Is
used for lighting the vast Exposition
area. A daylight brilliancy will per-
wade the Exposition until IL O'Clock
each night. The exhibit of Street Rail-
way appliances Is also of very com
plete and interesting character. The
exhibit made by Thomas a. Edison,
showing the development of many of
his important Inventions. constitutes
another attractive feature. Demonstra-
tions are to he made of Wireless Te-
legraphy and the X Rays. In the cen
ter of the Machinery and Transporta-
large number of Pumping Engines.
These supply the water for the various
fountain features of the Exposition.
Among these water displays is cas-.
cade in the southern face of the Elec-
trio Tower, from which there Is flow
of $4,000 gallons of water per minute
making a beautiful yeiilike cataract 10
feet high. Upon this cataract electric
lights of many colors will be thrown
from an Invisible source. producing an
enchanting picture.
One of the most imposing buildings
Of the Exposition is the great Stadium.
This Is more than 10 feet high ana IL
SO large as to inclose quarter mile
track. The seats nre arranged in the
form OF vast anphitheaIer, and the
capacity is sufficient for $1,000 specta-
tors. This is to be the scene of very
Interesting events daily throughout the
Exposition.
The Midway is said to be the great
est that has ever been organized for
any exposition. The Midway proper
is 3.0OG feet long. thus giving more
than mile OF frontage upon this sin
guiar thoronghfare. There are about
40 shows. every one of them possess
Ing special merit and selected from a
large number offered. There has been
great rivalry among show people to
secure space upon the Midway, and 1t
has been allotted with great care and
with the positive assurance that every
feature would he of character to com-
mand popular interest.
1t may be said OF the whole Expo
sition that In every department it is
q compact yet complete presentation
OF Twentieth Century civilization OF
the Western World.
