CHESTER.
Lantern, August IL: Mr.. w. H. New
bold was at the state campaign meet
ing in Yorkville, and he says 1t was
the first time he ever was there without
seeing a drunk man. You see this is
the dispensary regime-but, by the
way, Yorkville has prohibition, we be-
lieve. Misses Emma Clinton, Mat
tie Caldwell and Bessie Adams of
Glover, and Miss Mary Ashe Of York
vile, are spending a few days with
Miss Maud Anderson at Lowryville. -.
Mr.. Killough White went to Blairs-
vile, York county, yesterday to spend
about a week at Mr.. ]. p Blair's..
Miss Emma Clinton Of Glover, and
Miss Mary Ashe Of Yorkville, spent
Tuesday night in the city as guests Of
Mrs. DuPre Anderson. Miss Flor
ence Patrick of White Oak, passed
through yesterday morning on her way
to Yorkville, where she expects to
spend few weeks with relatives and
friends. -. Mr.. s. E. Colvin is off
on his vacation this week He and Mrs.
Colvin are spending the week with
the latter's father, Mr.. d. E. Boney in
Yorkville. -. Deputy Sheriff Walker
Carroll started to the Falls Wednesday
on business, and shortly after he left
Capt. Crenshaw, who has
charge Of the Lancaster and Chester
train these days, told him that three
negroes were on board who had brok
en- into a box car containing merchan-
disc. These negroes, Robert Beatty,
Nickols and James West, were
taken into custody. One man ran but
Capt. Crenshaw soon overlook him and
brought him to the train. The prison.
ers were left at Fort Lawn until Dep
uty Carroll returned from the Falls,
when he brought them on to Chester
and placed them in Jail. .... Mr.. Joe
B. Wylie of Richburg, says that he has
the best crop this year he has ever
had. Last year he made fifty bales of
cotton from thirty-seven acres, this
year he expects to gather sixty bales
from thirty-six acres. He has twenty
five acres of corn this year which will
make enough corn to supply the whole
plantation next year. Mr.. Wylie owns
some of the finest land in the county.
He has 500 acres to sell for $40 per
acre, but not for less. He has been
offered $3.50. He is not anxious, how
ever, to dispose of his land, for 1t rem
ders him ample return. Last year he
realized $2,250 from his farm, which
Is a little over 10 per cent, counting
the 500 acres worth $40 per acre. Mr..
Wylie raises everything that one needs,
not devoting his entire attention to the
Of cotton; and he has
everything in the way of domestic ami
mails except sheep and goats.
