FACTS AND FANCIES.

IA While in town attending to some
business a few days ago, Mr.. VIM.
Harrison weil-to-do and substantial
citizen Of the Fodder neighborhood,
took occasion to remark that his corn
crib has not been empty since 1S46, and
there has never been time since that
date when he has been without an
ample supply Of wheat and meat of
his own raising. He bought 200 pounds
of flour one time; but that was only
because there was no convenient mill
at which his wheat could be ground.
Mr.. Harrison who is in the neighbor-
hood Of 70 years Of age, continues to
run a three horse farm, and he runs
its successfully. He operates entirely
on cash basis, paying cash even for his
fertilizers.
30' DR.. J. H. Saye, of Sharon, tells or
a strange, but happy family that he
saw down near Lockhart one day this
week. The head of the family Is an
old mother cat and the other members
included three kittens and two squir-
rels. This strange family belongs to
a young son Of Mr.. Daniel Pratt. The
boy found the squirrels in the woods
some weeks ago, about the time their
eyes were beginning to open and he put
them with the old cat and her kittens.
The old mother cat adopted the strange
children from the woods promptly, al
lowing them to suckle with her own
young, and she seems to think as much
Of them, as she does Of the kittens.
The kittens and squirrels are all very
sportive and there is no apprehension;
but what the family, so far as the fos-
ter mother, brothers and sisters are
concerned, will continue in complete
harmony.
s3' DR.. Miles Walker had a profess
sional call into the Ramah section.
about twelve miles northwest OF
Yorkville, few days ago, and has an
interesting report of his observations
there. He states that the last time he
was in that section before was about
thirty years ago, when, as a boy, ne
carried a chain for surveyor. From
the impressions he got then, he has
since had the country in his mind as
an almost hopeless wilderness; but as
the result Of this trip he speaks OF 1t
all very differently. why" he says,
.'vou would be astonished at the
change. 1 saw some of the best farms

catchers had not been sworn and were
therefore not officers. The case was
dismissed. Mr.. Lewis also advised the
mayor that he was doubtful Of the
right Of the catchers, under the ordi-
nance, to enter private premises after
a dog which was not then and there
running at large. On the strength OF
this opinion, especially taken in con-
nection with the fact that the dog
catchers had not been previously
sworn, the mayor ordered the release
Of all the dogs then being held. Later
the dog catchers were regularly sworn,
after which they resumed their work,
making quite number OF additional
captures. AS the result Of the develop
ments of the week the town council is
giving the whole subject more careful
consideration than previously. and 1t Is
quite possible that the result will be
the enactment Of new ordinance de-
claring all dogs nuisances and levying
a license tax Of 81 a head on every one
kept in the town, whether on private
premises, or allowed to run at large.

LOCAL LACONICSj

"cAk DAsSSE
Zan Bradford, the well-known, well
digger was painfully hurt last Satur-
day. He was working In we'll on the
premises of Mr.. Daniel Pratt, near
Lockhart, and the injury was sustain
ed as the result Of the falling Of
bucket of rock. His right leg was hurt;
but no bones were broken. He is not
yet able to be about again, however,
and Is not likely to be for several days.
Fire at Energy.
The Thad L. Clinton residence. for
several years past owned by Mrs. Emil
ly L. Rickord, Of New York, and occu-
pied by Mr.. j. r. Gardner, was de-
stroyed by fire. last Tuesday morning.
Mr.. Gardner was away from home at
the time and the reporter has not been
able to get any information as to the
probable cause Of the fire. The loss is
estimated at about $500, and $500 Of It
Is covered by insurance.
More Engines.
It is reported that the Southern rail-
road has just received flfty-seven new
locomotives and they are being limber-
ed up at the company's shops at Spen-
GER, N. c. The statement Is that two
years ago the Southern gave an order
for ninety-seven new locomotives; but
has not been able to get them before
now for the reason that the locomotive
builders were so far behind with their
work. The Southern system has been
badly in need of additional motive
power, and it is hoped that the engines
just received will very materially re-
lieve the situation.

SATURDAY, MARCH 2S, 1903.

THERE was a suggestion In THE
ENQUIRER of February %, that mass
meeting on the road question be held
in Yorkville on Wednesday, April !.
There has been no further definite &C
ton on the subject and we are unpre-
pared to say whether or not the sug-
gested meeting will be held. It will be
a good idea though If people interested
will come to Yorkville on the day
named and at least take preliminary
steps looking to some organized effort
along this line. Even the meeting or
a half dozen really interested citizens
might result in some good.

saxte, a Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York September 1.-The market opened to 9 points higher this morning on fairly active speculation. Cables were quite good and the feeling was cheerful. The weather as to temperature was quite satisfactory, but the Atlantic and Gulf states were still very dry and the re- ports coming in from these sections were generally very poor and denoted decided deterioration the past two weeks. The fact that cotton is moving so slowly is certainly causing a good deal of surprise The receipts should be quite free by this time instead of which they are very small and as the deterioration has been so marked if Is hard to see where the move ment Is to come from in October and November, to say nothing of the certain- ty of its small volume the next four weeks. Shorts covered during the morn ing and business on the whole was mod crate, although sentiment was favorable for a rise. Texas reports were bullish. Liverpool was doing well and being in fiuenced by the small receipts. The in- sight figures for the week were but 5S.O00 against POI. 900 last year. Port re- ceipts for the day was but 5000 against 2S GOO last year

U. s. STEEL REMAINS WEAK

New York, September 11.-Stocks moved irregularly, and for the most part along narrow lines in today's market, which was again dominated almost throughout by the professional element. The crop re-
 port was so much better than many had expected, it might have exercised some influence for higher prices, but Tor the continued weakness of the United States Steel stocks, and the dissolution some what in advance of the prescribed time of the pool which endeavored to place the securities of the United States Realty and Construction company on the market.
 Steel common, touched a new low rec ord, breaking 20, though subsequently re- covering, but the features already nameo' together with unexpected selling Of Atcn- ison for London account, were enough to unsettle the list all around. Realty pre- ferred sold down to 351l today, new low record, and the common sold at oF4'
 At their top prices last year these stocks sold at 751a and 32 respectively
 The market was more active and made general improvement in the afternoon practically all of the early losses being re- covered. The steel stocks for the hrst time in several days seemed to receive inside support, notwithstanding pearlsh trade conditions, and a number o1 speclal- ties were taken up apparently Tor ap- sorption. The list displayed firmness at the close.
 Among the important railroad returns of the day were the annual reports Of the Atchison and St. Paul systems. Atchison
 1ox from it's early depression, and once more leading the market. Operations in St. Paul were unimportant. Business with London was nominal, being retarded by cable in- terruptlon.
 Dealings with that center were of an arbitrage character and were limited all most altogether to Atchison and the steel stocks. Advices indicate that an- other advance in the discount rates may be expected. both from London and Ber- lin. This it is assured. is in line with the policy of the leading financial insti- tutions of Europe to discourge gold ship ments to this country. The present rate of discount of the Bank of England, 4 per cent made last week, is the highest since February of 1901. Any advance by the Imperial Bank of Germany would cause little surprise in view of the steady drain on the banks cash holdings The known movements of local currency point to a nominal loss by the banks to the sub b-treasury. The latter institution dis bursed today GOO for Klondike gold. Word was received of another shipment of $500, 900 Australian gold to this coun- try Sterling exchange was again weak, with further offerings of cotton and grain bills. Later that market made partial recovery.
 The bond market showed some irreg- ularity again and the movement either way was extremely narrow. Total sales, par value, $1,095,0OO. United States bonds were all unchanged on the last call.
