from the conductor who had sent
messenger back to the telegraph office
at Clover. 1t seems that after the CYL
inder head blew out, the engine was
unable to climb the steep grade on the
south side Of the creek, and the pas
senger train had to remain where 1t
was until the arrival of the freight
train, which helped it on to YorkVille.
It arrived here at about 10 o'clock p.
M. some three hours late.
Sold Belts, Farmers and Things.
Fort Mill Times. A slick-iongued
fakir took his stand on Main street
Saturday and worked number of far
mers to the queens taste. He was
doubtless a past professional in his
line, as his outburst Of eloquence was
something notable. The farmers were
held spell-bound, rivited to the spot,
while the fakir told Of the wonderful
curative power Of his electric belts,
which were nothing more than the
punching together Of a lot of cheap
cotton flannel and small tin plates.
He finally branched off on the civil
war, telling Of his father and what a
true Johnnie he was. This won much
admiration from the crowd, and Wneh
he offered the so-called electric belts at
one dollar each, the wool hat boys al
most tumbled over each other In toss-
ing over the lovely simoleons. Ine
swindler began the sale by disposing
OF q few belts and refunding the price,
along with an additional dollar. NOW
this lust simply took them on their
feet, as the saying goes, and one was
heard to remark that it was Just ike
getting money from home" But TINS
proceeding lasted for the space OF only
q few minutes, for the fakir was no"
taking in the silver bucks by the
wholesale, and wrapping each doiiar
in a paper bill, deposited them on a
box in plain view of the crowd. IL
WAS useless for one to refuse to buy'
for when MIR. Swindler informed MIN
that he would make him wish he had
bought, his neighbor over the way was
I'M and doing. Each purchaser was
promised a present and each got one
a small box Of corn salve. The next
feature of the entertainment was the in
PRODUCTION of the talking dummy, which
was new to some of the crowd ana
much enjoyed. But the fakir was tir-
ing of his audience, and upon his rail-
ure to sell a larger sized belt at 81, ne
thanked the crowd for their kind at
tention, mounted his buggy and was on
in a jiffy to parts unknown. The far
mers are now busily engaged In study
ing a plan whereby they can replace
their lost money.

HEATH.ELLI0TT MULE co.
Livery, Sale and Feed Stable.
MULES AND
THINGS -

THERE have been a good many
Il people in to see those Mules we
have been talking about lately, and as
the result about half Of the Mules have
been sold. We knew all the while that
all that was necessary TO clinch
trade was for some man who was
half way in the notion Of buying q
Mule to see this bunch. 1t has proved
so every time. We have disposed OF
more than a dozen Mules all told dur
ing the past three weeks, and every
customer went away with a bargain
which satisfied him at the time and
with which he will still be satisfied
next fall.
And by the way, there has been a
good deal said about reputation for
fair dealing, etc. We don't like to say
much along that line, because. we
hardly think it altogether becoming;
but ne, ertheless, we think not a little
about our reputation. Our Mr.. Elliott
was in the stock business over In Lam
caster for ten years before he come to
Yorkville. Those ten years were de-
voted mostly to building up a reputa.
ton for saying what he meant ana
meaning what he said. People gener-
ally had come to regard him as that
kind of a man, and because he appre-
CldlCu lIoHl CAPCiiChSC tiiS
Of the process by which such reputa-
tions are made he hesitated about
coming to Yorkville. 1t was that and
that alone that made him hesitate, be-
cause he calculated that the element Of
time could be absolutely essential to
the rebuilding of the same reputation
in a new place. But 1t has not been
quite as hard as he figured. He has
found that those ten years of EFFORT
count for something even In a new be-
ginning. He has sold large number OF
Mules in this county since commence
ing business here, and we have not yet
heard anybody complain Of being
swindled. And in the same connection
we beg pardon for remarking that this
is not all Of it. Although forty miles
away, Mr.. Elliott is still holding on to
some Of his old trade in Lancaster.
He has sold several Mules across the
river. Only this week people living
within a short distance Of Lancaster
courthouse, came over here to York
vile, bought four head of Mules and
Horses and sent them back through
the country They knew they had
been getting value for their money
during the past ten years, and they
believed they would get it again, which
they did.
There are about half dozen of that
last lot Of Mules left. They are first
class animals, and they are bargains at
the price. Respectfully,
HEATH-ELLIOTT MULE CO.,
J. C. ELLIOTT, Manager.

THE PRESIDENCY OF FURMAN.-The
Rev. Louis NJ Roper, D. D., pastor OF
the Baptist church at Spartanburg, has
declined to accept the presidency of
Furman university, to which he was
elected several months ago. His de-
clination will. of course. be sore dis
appointment to the friends of Furman
university throughout the state, but In
our opinion DR.. Roper has done the
right thing. He is a most excellent
minister. a preacher of great power,
and singularly fitted for the pastoral
office. He is doing fine work at Spar
tanburg, and it will be easier doubtless
for the trustees Of Furman university
to find a capable president for that
most deserving institution Of higher
Christion education than it would be
for the Baptists Of Spartanburg to
find worthy successor of DR.. Roper.
Good preachers are almost as rare as
good college presidents.-News and

considerable interest by both sides.
There has also been much interest
manifested by the public in the mar

ed Hostetter's Stomach Bitters dur

TELL ABOUT A HARMLESS TONIC
STIMUtANT WHICH HELPS
OLD PEOPLE.

"I think, said member of the above
firm, ''that the saddest thing in the world
is to see an old person lettering around.
'sIf the publishers of the newspapers
knew as we'll as we do how much good
Vinol tonic-reconstruCtor would do for
old people, they would devote columns
in their papers on the subject.
owe know that Ninol would be the
greatest source of comfort and help. to
old people for the simplest reason in the
world.
When person reaches that time in
life when he or she is on the downward
path, all of the vital organs act more
slowly and less effectively than they
do in youth. There is not the same re-
newal of tissues that continually take
place in younger people.
1.-The old PERSONS blood is thin and
watery, and many of their parts have be-
come so worn out by age that the natural
functions of life are not performed prop
erly. For instance, the stomach no
longer acts as it should and the old per-
son has to be very careful of diet; and
even when doing their best, it is difficult
for them TO obtain nourishment enough
from the foodthey are able to take tokeep
up the waning strength and hold body
and soul together; let alone trying to
build up any additional functions or re-
serve fund of energy"
Vinol, you see, as we have always
claimed, is builder up. It acts first on
the stomach; it strengthens and invigOr-
ates this important organ; 1t mixes with
the food that goes into the stomach, and
enables thatOrgan to aSSimilate the food
that makes rich, red blood, healthy It's
sues and sound nerves. VinOl is harm
less Stimulant without any reactiVe
disadvantages.
There are hundreds Of cases in this
city which prove these statements and We
ask old people to try VinOl on our guar
antee that if it does not do all we claim
for it, we will refund the entire money
they paid us for 1t. We have shown our
confidence and good faith and 1t is up to
every sick and ailing person in this city
TO try and get well.
