In every country of the civilized world
Sisters of Charity are known. Not only
do they minister to the spiritual and
intellectual needs of the charges com
naitted to their care, but they also
minister to their bodily needs
With so many children to take careof
and to protectfrom climate and disease,
these wise and prudent Sisters have
found Peruna a ncyerfailing safeguard.
DIR. Hartman receives many letters
from Catholic Sisters from all over the
United States. A recommend recently
received from Catholic institution in
Detroit, Mich, reads as follows:
DR.. S. B. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio:
Dear Sir-s.7hey young girl who used
the Perunaw was suffering from Laryngi-
tbs, and Toss of voice. The result OF
the treatment was most satisfactory.
She found great relief, and after
further use of the medicine we hope
to be able to say she is entirely cured. -

The young girl was under the care of
the Sisters of Charity and used Peruna
for catarrh of the throat with good re-

Put II In the Bank.

If there was any way to get at the
truth, we would venture the assertion
that there is more than $25O,0O0 of
cash distributed among private rural
homes in York county.
This money for the most part is kept
between mattresses, under hearth
stones, in broken jars, in trunks and
chests and In various other places of
concealment, in amounts ranging from
a thousand or so dollars down.
When these people are asked why
they do not put their money in banks,
they are apt to offer some kind of ex-
cuse to the effect that they have known
banks to fail. and otherwise show lack
of confidence in the existing order of
things and in themselves.
1t is true that banks fail; but the
percentage Of those that fail is very
small compared with those that do not,
and we will venture that where one
dollar has been lost by a depositor in
this country or in this county, on ac-
count of the failure of bank, a hum
dred dollars has been lost from old

News was received here this morn
ing Of a serious accident that occurred
to Mr.. G. L. Riddle Of Zeno, resulting
in the breaking Of his leg. 1t has not
been practicable to get particulars fur
ther than that a gin belt is responsible
for the injury, and that Mr.. Riddle Is
resting as comfortably as could be ex-
pected.

H. Dooley, Esq, gave Mr.. Wills a
check for this amount and Mr.. Willis

tanned by him. Mr.. Willis Is still on

that his injuries are permanent.

WITHIN THE TOWN.

- The court Of general sessions con-
venes next Monday.
- The cotton receipts have been
growing somewhat during the past few
days.
MIR. o. E. Grist caught large fat
'possum in his back yard last Tuesday
night. The animal was evidently af-
ter Mr.. Grist's chickens and he shot
it with a revolver. 1t weighed about
8 pounds.
Next Monday Is the last day on
which town taxes may be paid with
out penalty, and large percentage OF
the taxes remain unpaid at this time.
People who have been putting the mat
ter off until the last will do we'll to
remember that II forgot will not be
taken as a sufficient excuse.
Mr.. ]. M. Hughes Of the Fodder
neighborhood, was In Yorkville this
morning after search warrant for use
in hunting some stolen cotton. Several
baskets Of cotton that were left In the
field last night were missing this morn
ing, and Mr.. Hughes and his neighbors
are doing what they can to run 1t to
earth.
AS a result Of a deal perfected a
day or two ago, the business Of the
York Implement. company has been
transferred from Mr.. L. R. Williams
to Messrs. Riddle & Carroll Because
of developments that have made 1t nee
essary for Mr.. Williams to devote time
and attention to his plantation, he
found it impracticable to continue
proper supervision of the implement
business, and this is the consideration
that induced him to dispose OF It.
With years Of experience, Messrs. Rid
die & Carroll we'll understand all the
details of the agricultural implement
business, and will find no difficulty in
retaining and keeping up with the
growing patronage that Mr.. Williams
has already built up. For the present
they will continue to use the store
house that has been occupied by Mr..
Williams.

jars, from between mattresses and
from under hearthstones at the hands
of thieves.
Large amounts of money kept at
home in places of insecure concealment
are standing invitations to the cupid
ity of burglars and assassins, and are
frequently a source Of more or less
danger to the persons Of their owners.
No, isolated farmer or business man
in this section should keep more than
fifty or a hundred dollars about him
at a time. He should keep the balance,
If he has more, in bank; or If he
would make himself doubly safe let
him scatter it about in two or three
banks. Such a thing as all the banks
of a given neighborhood failing at one
time has never been heard of-not In
this part of the country.
Besides the considerations sugges-
ted, the man who deposits money in
banks finds another important advant-
age. The banker helps him to keep
his cash book, and his checks furnish
a convenient and indisputable record
of every cash transaction. No man un-
acquainted with this convenience can
fully appreciate its value until he has
given it a trial.
We are not offering these suggestions
for the benefit of the banks; but for
the benefit of individual possessors of
money and for the benefit Of the COM
munity at large.

brought as much as IA to cords at
load. The annual fuel bill Of the COM
pany, it is said, will average not far
from $4,000.
While there has not been a great deal
of sickness here this fall, still there
has been some, and one Of the sickest
men we have had recently, he thought
was Dr. Pressly. He Is now much
improved and is doing some profess
sional work.
The sportsmen have been putting In
some of their time in the field since
November l. We have several here
who believe they are ''it' when 1t comes
to shooting partridges. Meek and
Willie Smith were out for few hours
on Wednesday afternoon and bagged
twenty three.
Business Of all kinds has been goo1
during the present. season and those
who sold goods on time are especially
pleased with the prompt and cheerful
payments Of their customers. There
Is not a vacant store room In the town
and it is entirely probable that several
more than are now in use would rent
without any trouble.
The people of Glover are equally as
much interested in the effort that Is
to be made to close the dispensary al
vi as are liC PCoPiS ~
town. Previous to last July when the
Watts law became effective In North
Carolina the drinking element Of our
population got most Of its supplies
from nearby still houses, but since
they have been closed, everything goes
to Yorkville and judging by results
there can be little room to doubt that
viler stuff was ever sold to human be-
ings. There has been more drunken
ness and disorder here during the past
six months than for the entire year
previous, and numerous heavy fines
havebeen imposed by the mayor. The
good people of Glover asked thelr
friends in Yorkville to not allow the
dispensary to be established, but II
seems they were powerless. 1t is crafty
ing to us to know that even though the
change Of heart may have come too late
to be much help to those who have
already fallen victims to the mill, nu-
merous voters who favored the con-
Germ have come out like men and ac-
knowledged that they were mistaken In
supposing any benefit could come to
their town by the establishment Of the
dispensary, and have signed the petit
ton asking for it's removal and pledged
themselves to do all they can to cor
rect the mistake made. Glover looks
on with interest and Is anxious to
know the name Of every voter who
signs the petition. We want 1t for fu-
ture reference.

The Immigration Question.

This immigration question Is one or
the most important that has appealed
to the consideration Of our people for
great many years, and 1t is worthy
of the most serious thought that they
are able to bestow upon it.
That we have more land than we can
utilize profitably is a self evident fact,
and that idle land is handicap rather
than help to the prosperity of COM
munity seems to require no argument.
The reason Of idle lands is because
there is nobody to work them, and
there is nothing else for it but that
we must get more people. That more
people Of the right kind will do away
with the idle land evil there Is no ques-
ton, and it is quite certain also that
in the same manner will more people
enhance the value of lands that are
not now idle.
While these things are facts, it Is
also a fact that there are other idle
lands elsewhere, and their owners also
realize the need of more people. This
then means that if we would gain our
desires, we must be up and doing In
competition with others similarly sit
uated. We need not look for volunteers
to come begging for our waste places.
The immigration question is a big
one. 1t is too big for the individual; 1t
is too big for the county; it IS too big
for the state. 1t calls for the united
effort of state, county and individual.
There is need for state immigra-
ton bereau, county immigration bu-
reau, and live individual citizens who
seek to benefit the public by benefit
ting themselves.
There is not property owner in
York county whose interest and pros
perity is beyond the reach of this i'm
migration question. and it is to be
hoped that everybody can be induced
to unite on some practical plan that
will result in inducing more good citi-
zens-not only just citizens, but good
citizens to settle in this section.

NOTE AND COMMENT.

The failure of subscribers at Sharon
and Smyrna to receive the last issue of
THE ENQUIRER promptly was due to
the oversight of the mail clerk In car
rying the packages by. The papers
were put in the postoffice at Yorkville
on time, and they were sent out from
there in proper shape.
Two coots have been exhibited In
THE ENQUIRER Office within the past
two days. One was shot on the plan
tation of Mr.. J. B. Woods. about five
miles northeast Of YorlSville, and the
other was caught by Mrs. ]. E. White
sides of Filbert. The home Of these
birds Is on the seacoast; but how they
happened to find their way into this
section is only matter of conjecture.
The case of S. w. Mitchell VS.. the
Woodmen of the World Is to come up
again at the next term of the court.
This is the case in which Mitchell Is
suing the Woodmen for damages on
account Of injuries alleged to have
been sustained while he was being In
itiated into the order. There have al
ready been two mistrials. 1t will be
the first jury case called during the
second week of the approaching regu-
lar term.
The moral Of the story told by Mr..
j. D. Land Is to have no business deal
ings with unidentified strangers. There
are some home people also who will
swindle, it is true: but then there is
better way of reaching them after they
have been found out. And this story
warrants another observation. The
case is not peculiar. Sharpers are do
ing the same kind Of work every day,
not only in the country; but In towns.
There are people who will laugh at the
case with which Mr.. Land and his
neighbors were picked up; but If the
truth were known, it would be found
that most of these people are just as
easy themselves.

you cannot keep it this side Of the Sa-

Mr.. Land went on to mention the
names of a number Of his neighbors
who had been picked up by the same
sharper; but he did not feel at lib
erty to give them away. He Is Of
opinion, however, and the reporter
agrees with him, that this fellow has

parts Of the county, and not one indi-
vidual out Of each score has ever OPEN

CLOVER, November 13--The mar
riage of Miss Lenora Janette Hamilton
Of Glover, to Mr.. Martin M. Wells Of
Greenwood in the Presbyterian church
here at 4.30 o'clock this afternoon was
an event of unusual interest. The GER
emony was performed by Rev. Robert
Caldwell of Toronto, O., brother-in-
law of the bride. Mr.. J. Rook Of
Greenwood. acted as best man, and
Miss Sadie Hamilton was maid Of
honor. Miss Pansy Traywick Of Cas-
tonia, presided at the organ, and rem
dered Lohengrin's wedding march. The
flower girls were Misses Frances May
Milling. of Rock Hill, and Miss Annie
Lee Adams of Glover. Both We're
dressed in pure white. The bride
wore a handsome grey travelling coat
suit. Among the visitors from dis
tance were Messrs. ]. Rook, Maurice
Milling and Miss Wylie Wells of Green
wood; Mrs. Horn and son of Chester;
Rev. and Mrs. Caldwell Of Toronto, O.;
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. R. Boulware, Mr.. Sam
Huey and sister Of Charlotte; Miss
Pansy Traywick of Gastonia. The
church was crowded and the occasion
passed off beautifully. After the GER
emony, the bridal party took the train
for the future home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Wells, in Greenwood.
The Glover Cotton Manufacturing
company is now putting in about 5000
additional spindles and other machin-
cry necessary to increase the capacity
Of the plant to the extent indicated.
When the new machinery is all install
ed the new building erected In 1900
will be filled to its capacity, and there
will be something like 10000 spindles
in operation. The company has recent

Beamguard for nine new cottages to be
occupied by operatives. 1t is said that
during the past summer and fall al
together. 5000 cords of wood have been
delivered to the company by farmers
living in the surrounding country.
Some of the wood was hauled as far as

WILL the Mexican boil weevil final
ly reach this section? No man can
say positively; but the probabilities
are that it will, and if so it will be
within the next few years. Its arrival
promises the death knell Of cotton cul-
ture and our people ought to be able
to appreciate the meaning Of that.
Wise men look ahead and provide for
contingencies. The problem now be-
fore them is very plain. We want to
continue to prosper even after cotton
growing may have disappeared. We
should begin to prepare for live stock.
