BCER TOBACCO.

For White Men,

Natives Use 1t, but It Is Too Much
For White Men.
After Transyaal tobacco, but long
way after, comes Boer. The name is in
reality nowadays misnoner, for this
tobacco is grown largely in Natal and
Cape Colony. 1t is also cultivated in
the Orange River Colony, is sold by the
roll and can be obtained Cor about S. q
pound If a whole roll is purchased. II
is also sold by the sack.
White men buy these sacks, but they
do not smoke the contents themselves;
they use it to reward the Kafhr sery-
ants for working overtime or doing any
other meritorIous action. The taste for
Transvaal tobacco is an acquired one.
It also takes certain time before q
man gets used to the scent. No white
man who has come from distance has
so far lived long enough to acquire a
liking for either the taste or the smell.
but it has its uses in the case Of the
natives, and 1t IS also useful If you
have an undesirable visitor whom you
are anxious to get rid Of. Offer him a
pipe Of Boer tobacco, and be will never
enter your house again.
The traders purchase this weed large
Iy. They also use it upon the natives
in the shape Of presents, as every KAT
fir who makes purchase in country
store always asks for free gift, and
the competition to secure the native
trade is so acute that the request can
not be refused.-South Africa.

A Laconlc Correspondence.

It is said that the celebrated German
theologian. Schleiermacher, was rather
inclined to save than to spend money.
He was at one time quite i'll and sent
for renowned physician, DR.. Crate,
who was court physician at the time
and whose son became the great ocu-
list. Schleiermachcr recovered, and
when fully restored to health he sent
q polite note to Dr. Crate, expressing
his gratitude and inclosing i louis
dor, begging the physician to accept
this small sum as L token Of his ap.
probation OF the services which had
been rendered him.
The following day he received his
gold pieces again, accompanied by the
following laconic note from the great
physician: The poor I cure for moth
ing. The well to do pay me according
to the regular medicine tax The
rich reward me layishly, according as
it suits their pleasure"'
Thereupon the clergyman sat down
and sent DR.. Crate this still more Ia
comic answer: ''The louis dor are
received back With gratitude The
poor Schleiermacher.."

Gastric and Nervous Vertigo.

The most common forms Of vertigo
are the gastric and the nervous. Gas
tric vertigo is sometimes induced by a
very slight disorder Of the stomach.
The patient may feel 4 sudden SWIM
ming at the head; objects may seem to
revolve; he totters and perhaps falls.
There may be nausea, faintness, head
ache. visual hallucinations and buzz
ing in the ears, but there is no deaf
ness nor any danger of a loss Of con-
sciousness. Gastric vertigo is cured
by treatment directed to the cause.
Nervous vertigo may come from
nervous exhaustion resulting from va
rious causes-intellectual strain or an
immoderate use Of tobacco: alcohol or
tea. The symptoms are much the same
as in gastric vertigo. They are felt
strongly in an elevated position-by
the preacher in the pulpit or the speak
er on the platform. AS in gastric YER
tigo, the treatment must be directed
to the cause. But patients need not
fear an attack of paralysis or Of apo

Lamps Used Before Candles.

Lamps were used before candles.
They date back almost as far rs his
tory goes and were common in ancient
Egypt, China, Assyria, Greece and
Rome. Lamp, from the Greek lampas,
q torch, and candle, from kandeel, the
Egyptian word for a common lamp,
originally meant the same thing, and
the Mosaic candlestick held oil lamps,
not candles, as we now use the word.
Man early improved on the torches
Of the Homeric age and caught the
idea Of obtaining light from porous
fiber soaked in animal or vegetable
oils. Lamps Of brass, bronze and stone
have been found in the pyramids and
in ancient Indian temples, and COM
mon terra Gotta ones were in general
use for domestic purposes in Greece in
the fourth century B. c. The earliest
candles we hear Of were those Of the
ancient Romans made Of rushes coated
with fat OF wax.

Bells and Bees.

It Is a foolish notion to suppose that
the ringing Of bells or "tanging' Of tin
pans will cause swarm Of bees to set
tie. The real origin Of this custom
dated back to the reign Of Alfred the
Great, who, In order to prevent dis
putes regarding ownership Of a
swarm, ordered r the owner should
always ring /, Il when his bees
swarmed, and ever since then the good
farmers wife has been rushing out
with ringing bells whenever the bees
swarmed. and the fact that they set
tied verified, in her own mind, the be-
lief that the bell did it.

they should so decide. This suggested

TO SUBSCRIBERS.

The label on each paper shows the
status of that particular subscription,
and subscribers will please look up
their labels so as to have the matter
straight.
Where the label reads "1Jan6," the
meaning is that the subscription ex-
pires on the first day of January 1906.
Where, instead of the there appear
two black marks. one above the other,
the meaning is that the subscription
has been returned for another year;
but not paid for. Where the label
reads ""1Jan7," it means that the sub
scription has been returned and paid
for
No papers will be discontinued pre-
vious to l Jan. 1906; but after that date
all papers not returned for the next
year will be stricken from the list
Therefore those who may have been
taking the paper this year; but who do
not want it next year. need not trouble
themselves about ordering discontinue
ances.
We feel pretty safe in saying that
THE ENQUIRER will be at least as in
teresting and instructive next year as
1t has been this year, and we hope
that it's subscription list will be still
larger than ever, Notwithstanding the
fact that it is now larger than 1t has
ever been before In the whole history
of the paper.

CIRCUIT COURT.

The case Of Waverly Fairman vs.. the
Seaboard Air Line railroad which
was in progress Tuesday afternoon
when THE ENQUIRER went to press was
concluded the same evening with a
verdict for the plaintiff in the sum of
$3.50.
The next case taken up was that OF
Neely & Moore VS.. the Catawba Power
company. This was a suit for the
value of a horse driven to death by
negro in the employ Of the power COM
pany. The jury found for the plaintiff
in the sum Of SCOTS. Spencers & Dun
lap for plaintiff Wilson & Wilson for
defendant.
The case Of James NJ. Cherry vs.. the
Smith-Fewell company, resulted In
verdict for the plaintiff in the sum of
s21S.96. This is the case already de-
scribed in THE ENQUIRER as involving
the present value Of an inchoate right
of dover. The plaintiff had purchased
a tract of land from the defendant.
The dover had not been renounced.
The plaintiff, however, afterward ac-
quired the dover and the suit was to
make the defendant make good. The
defendant disclaimed liability on the
ground that the dover could have no
value during the life Of the man who
had conveyed the land and as he was
still living there was nothing to pay.
uyhn q ~
volved was argued decided that the in
choate dover did have actual money
value, and the value was assessed by
the jury as stated w. ]. Cherry for
the plaintiff; Spencers & Dunlap for
the defendant.
The next case taken up was that Of
Luther G. Thompson vs.. Southern
railroad. This was a suit for the
burning of some timber on the side
of the railroad as the result Of alleg-
ed negligence of the railroad COM
pany. After listening to the testi-
mony and arguments and going to
the spot to see the damage, the jury
found for the plaintiff in the sum of
SIS. M. B. Jennings for the plaintiff
and C. e. Spencer and G. w. S. Hart
for the defendant.
There being no more jury cases
ready, the petit jurors were discharg-
ed, and the court gave its attention to
law and equity matters.
Court will adjourn sine die this af-
ternoon.

TOWNSHIP ASSESSORS.

A meeting of the town and township
assessors was held in the office Of the
auditor yesterday, pursuant to the call
recently sent out by that official for
the purpose of considering the situation
relative to the approaching tax assess
ment campaign.
All of the townships were represent
ed except Fort Mill, the following as
SCISSORS being present:
J.F. Ashe, w. W. Boyce, ]. E. Leech,
]. L. Moss r. r. McCorkle, M. L. Car
roll w. T. Mcknight, T. M. Oates, j.
w Jackson, ]. c. Blair. w. S. Leslie
W. C. Latimer, John T. Burris, c. S.
Gordon, ]. M. Thomasson, T. Quinn.
The meeting was organized by the
election of ]. Frank Ashe as chairman
and w. w. Boyce as secretary, and
while the proceedings were rather in
formal, it was made clear that the
sense of those present was to follow
the law to the letter, as far as lay In
their power. A resolution was adopted
to this effect.
There was full recognition Of the fact
that there is going to be a lot Of diff
Guilty in having property assessed at Its
full value all over the state; that there
will be the same trouble with the tax
dodger that there has always been;
that it would be unfair for York to
raise her assessment while other coun-
ties that are now lower allow theirs
to remain the same, and because Of
conditions that are generally apprecia-
ted. q resolution was adopted to this
effect:
That the auditor notify the other coun-
ty auditors of the state of the action
of the York county board of assessors
and request of them that they give him
information as to the action Of their
respective boards After this informa-
tion has been collected by the auditor
he Is requested to communicate 1t to
the chairmen of the various town and
township boards.
The discussion showed that the
township assessors are anxious to do
their duty, and there seemed to be a
feeling among them that If only York
county was concerned there would be
no trouble about the matter. But not
withstanding this there was evident
strong disposition to see that York
county does the right thing regardless
of what may be done in other counties.

The fertilizer trade is opening up
somewhat earlier than usual this year.
Local dealers have already taken nu-
merous orders.
There will be no issue Of THE EN-
oUIRER next Tuesday, the day after
Christmas. The next issue after this
one will appear on Friday, Dec. 20.
The setting in Of the fall rains Is
quite a relief to the Catawba Power
people, as the water had become low
enough in the river to be troublesome.
The dollars received for two of the
verdicts rendered at this term Of the
court Messrs. Geo. R. Wallace and
C. L. Moore, foremen Of the juries,
were turned over to the Confederate
monument fund.
Capt. w. 3. Smiths appeal to the
people of York county in behalf Of the
Confederate monument Is deserving Of
more than ordinary consideration. The
people can build that monument with
out ever feeling the trif1ing cost II
they will, and they certainly ought to
do it.
Although the circuit court has been
down to strict business during the past
ten days, 1t has made so little impress
sion on Calendar l as to leave the
members Of the bar hopeless about
ever catching up unless there Is anoth-
er extra term or two. There Is talk OF
an extra term in January; but nothing
definite has been decided with regard
to the matter.
That $1,25o verdict in the case Of
Waverly Fairman VS.. the Seaboard Air
Line railroad was something Of sur
prise in that the public generally SEEM
ed to be looking for much larger fig
ures. The verdict is probably to be
taken to mean that while the jury be-
lieved that the railroad was not alto
gether blameless, Fairman was not
hurt very much.
The Gaffney Ledger, one Of our most
valued adjoining county exchanges
came to us in a badly crippled condi-
ton last Tuesday because Of the
breaking down Of some part of its Mer-
genthaler. The broken part had to be
ordered from the factory and in the
mean time the paper had to be set up
by hand. which under the circum-
stances was rather awkward. Never
theless the Ledger acquitted itself quite
creditably considering the disadvan-
tages under which it had to labor.
