Death Of VIM. r. Beard.
News was received here Tuesday o,
the death Of Mr.. VIM. F. Beard, elder
brother of Messrs. H. H. and E. b
Beard, of Yorkville, at his home IT
Cleburne, Texas, last Tuesday after.
noon. Mr.. Beard was g. native OF
Yorkville, s. c., and was the second
son of the late A. w. Beard. Shortly
after the breaking out of the war he
volunteered as a member Of company
A. Twelfth regiment, and served 1r
that command until the surrender
making a record as a good soldier
He merchandised in Yorkville for
short time after the war and then
went to Texas where he continued
merchandising until his health failed
For several years previous to his death
he was engaged in the insurance busi-

How to Raise Cabbage.
A correspondent, writing from New
port tells Of the remarkable success
that Mr.. L. ]. Kirby, who rents the
VIM. Choate plantation, near Allison
Geek church is having with cabbage
raising. Mr.. Kirby, according to the
correspondent, prepares his land as
for cotton, and uses 400 pounds OF 1O-2
acid per acre. He runs the rows three
feet apart, and sets the plants, (Early
inches apart. The cultivation Is deep
with a bull tongue. Grass must be
kept away from the plants while they
are young with q hoe. After the
plants get good start, the shade kills
the grass. Three plowings are sufi-
cient, and this special crop had only q
single hoeing. Planted as outlined
above, there should be a fraction more
than 1900 plants to the acre, and as
surning that each plant develops, the
average weight would be two pounds.
Mr.. Kirby has been finding ready sale
for his entire crop at the dam Of the
Catawba Power company and at the
stores in Rock Hill at II cents pound,
and 1t Is fair to estimate his yield at
being worth $3.50 per acre cash. This
is in addition to the value Of the sur
plus leaves as hog and cow feed. The
crop was raised on light sandy second
year new ground, and our correspon-
dent thinks that Mr.. Kirby has made q
showing that should receive due con-
sideration at the hands Of people who
are looking for something that will
compare favorably with 10 cents cot
ton;

Mr.. Thomas w. Speck Is still confin'

Mr.. H. H. Beard, who went to Baltl-
more with his brother Mr.. E. B. Beard
recently, returned to Yorkville Wednes-
day afternoon. He says that the opera
ton on Mr.. E. B. Beard for gladstone
was considered by the operating SER
geons to be quite successful, and al
though he was not prepared to say that
his brother was entirely out Of danger
still he thought the chances of recovery
were good. The patient was resting
more easily than on Tuesday, ana
seemed to be growing more and more
comfortable. The uneasiness OF Mr..
Boards many Yorkville friends has
changed to a decided hopefulness. IL

A Word of
Explanation.

In the Issue of The Enquirer Of jan
uary II, 1903, we made our first an
nouncement with regard to the giving
away Of Arso Oil Portraits. At the
time we made the announcement we
believed that we gave every particle Of
information that was necessary, and We
think so yet. But there has been a lot
Of misunderstanding In regard to our
offer, and this misunderstanding has
caused US a lot of trouble. Here is
the announcement as it originally ap-
peared:
We will give handsomely finished
oil portrait to all customers who
buy SIS worth Of goods from us.
Tho only expense you are put to 10
the frame at $3.50 or $3.50 as may
suit your fancy. Our agents will
probably call and see you about
the matter. You can see the work
that we are offering, at our store.
Be sure to have your portrait en-
larged. The work Is fine.
Some of our customers claim that
they are under no obligations to take
the frame when the picture Is deliver
ed, after having bought the required
SIS worth Of goods. We maintain that
the above advertisement as 1t appeared
on January II, 1903, specifically says
that the customer Is only put to the
additional expense Of purchasing a
frame at $3.50 or $3.50 as the fancy Of
the customer might dictate. We 80
understood our proposition. The party
who wrote the advertisement so under
stood the proposition. The company
who furnishes US with the portraits so
understands our proposition, and doz-
ems Of customers who have bought the
required SIS worth Of goods, had the
photographs enlarged, and paid for
frames, have so understood our propo-
sition. We very much regret that a
few Of our customers have been unable
to see the proposition as we intended
to make 1t.
Here is our proposition again, and
we want everybody to understand 1t
thoroughly: We will give to every Gus.
toner who buys SIS worth Of goods for
Cash, an Arso Oil portrait, enlarged
from any photograph or tintype, free.
But every customer who has photo.
graph or tintype enlarged, must pur.
chase Of US a FRAME at $3.50.
When we purchased our frames we
bought two grades, one to sell at $3.50
q -
to close our picture business, we will
from this date sell you your choice of
a frame, either the $3.50 grade or the
$3.50 grade for $3.50. No more portraits
will be taken for enlargement after our
present stock Of Frames Is exhausted.

standard of conduct prevailing
among the living, their habits are,
in fact, more regular, they seem to
possess little character or original.
ity, and probably their ideas are very
limited, says London Truth. Some OF
them walk along the passage or up
the stairs; others knock on the walls
or furniture, ring bells, slam doors
or break crockery; now and then
you come across one who shriekes;
and there seem to be a few stray
specimens who appear (and disap-

beyond this. A very remarkable
proof Of their limitations, or their
slnvish adherence to tradition. is
that, though / have before me at the
present moment a dozen authenti
Gated ghosts who have been heard
walking upstairs, there seems to be
no case on record in which a ghost
has been heard walking down. Why
anybody should think it worth while
to chronicle the movements of such
uninteresting creatures 1 cannot un.
derstand. An account of the days

very much more exciting.

Education has many good results,
but none that are more sure than the
sense Of power and selfrelianee with
which it invests it's possessor. We
may not know the exact use a man
win make OF it. but we may rest as
sured that, whatever be the circum-
stances into which he is thrown, he
viii be capable Of far more. and enjoy
FAR more, II he has had It's advantages.
And. although education is a large
subject and one worthy of all the wis

thoughtful man or woman can do
something to promote it.

A French explorer, lie RouX, informs
us that the natives Of Abyssinia have q
peculiar way Of carrying the gold
which they find in the beds Of streams
to market. They find it in the shape
of dust, and tiny nuggets, which they
put into large quilts as transparent as
glass tubes. The brokers who buy it
work it up into the form Of circles of
the size of an ordinary finger ring, but
without closing the circle, for the pur-
chaser always insists on twisting il
to see that it does not contain any adul-
teration. Experienced fingers can tell
at once whether the yielding metal has
the exact malleability Of pure gold.
Mrs. Mollie Allen, of South Fork
KY, says she has prevented attacks
of cholera morbus by taking Cham
berlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets
when she felt an attack coming on.
Such attacks are usually caused by
indigestion and these Tablets are
just what is needed to cleanse the
stomach and ward OFF the approach
ing attack Attacks Of bilious collie
may be prevented IN the same way.
