The Williamsport Gazette and 'Bul-
letin, performs good service for the
public in cautioning widows of union
veterans OF the war of the Rebel
lion against the greedy pension sharks
at Washington. These sharks are
sending out letters to soldiers widows,
throughout the country, soliciting their
applications for pensions under the
recent act of congress. The act pro-
vides that widows, who have been
receiving less than Sl2 per month,
shall have their pensions increased
to $l2. Prospective benefciaries of
this law should take notice that it
is not necessary for them to apply
to anybody for the increase; the amount
will be paid to them when they present
their vouchers to the local agents, at
the next pay day.

Boyle, OF Dubois, formerly of Reynolds

room and it ran into his foot up to head.
Doctor got the tack out and dressed the
wound and did not anticipate any

be saved. The foot was operated on

THE CORN PRIZES.

As was no doubt generally under
stood from what was published in the
last issue of The Enquirer, the Far
mers' Union was not prepared to set
tie on the spot all the details in con-
nection with it's proposed corn raising
contest, and necessarily the matter
was largely delegated to committee
During the consideration Of the
question as to how the money was to
be raised, it was proposed that the
competitors themselves be taxed to the
amount of one hundred dollars to be
raised on an equitable pro rata basis
This idea seemed fair and reasonable;
but the committee is not inclined tC
resort to it if sufficient funds to make
the proposition attractive can be raised
otherwise and of this there is little
reason for apprehension.
The purpose Of the Farmers Union
is to encourage corn raising to the
greatest possible extent. 1t is anxious
to secure the largest acreage that the
county has ever planted, and it espe-
cially desires the most thorough ano
intelligent fertilization and prepara
ton. The objects sought are two-fold
In the first place, it is hoped to EN-
DndSlZe lIlt vi
corn culture from the standpoint OF
profit and in the second place it is de-
sired to direct as much acreage as
possible from cotton to corn.
Since the original announcement OF
the corn prize idea, the committee has
received practical earnest of the fact
that the general public is willing tc
give it's most hearty cooperation
and there is reason to believe that II
will be a comparatively easy matter tc
secure a substantial prize fund by
means of voluntary contributions.
As stated before, the competition is
open to any kind of land whether up
land or bottom. and crops already
planted and to crops to be planted
hereafter; and the regulations stip-
ulated by the committee for the
government of the contest will not, in
clude any provision Of a discriminate
ing character, unusual to such con-
tests.
1t will be required, of course, that
each competitor must have at least two
acres to the plOw on the intensive
system, and in the case of the man
who raises the most bushels on a sim
gle acre the other acres required by
the rules Of the contest must come up
to Il reasonable per cent, hereafter to
be fixed. of the best acre.

CHANGES OF SCHEDULE.

These general changes Of schedule
are to go into effect on the Southern
and Carolina and North Western rail-
roads next Sunday. We have infor-
nation as to the nature Of the changes
on the Carolina and North Western
and the Charlotte Columbia division
of the Southern, but nothing very
definite as to the Marion and King
vile division.
On the Charlotte Columbia division
trains Nos. %. &c, 33 and "a are to be
discontinued.
Train No. 80, going south, will pass
Rock Hill al a. m, and Chester al
445 a. m.
Train M. IS. new train, will leave
Charlotte at q. 30 H. m: Rock Hill al
725: Chester SIP, and arrive at CO.
umbia at 1915 a. m. This train con-
meets at Chester with the c. & N.-W's
No. 10 for YOrkville.
Train No. 81, leaves Charlotte at 4.45
p. M; Rock Hill, $50; Chester $40
and arrives at Columbia at 8.45 p. m
This train connects at Chester with
the c. e NV. train No. 9 for Column
bia.
Train No Sc, a new train, leaves
Columbia at $50 a. m. Chester at 8.O5
a. M; Rock Hill at SAT, and arrives
at Charlotte at $50. This train makes
close connection at Chester with the
c.. & N.-W.'s No. 10, for Yorkville.
Train No. %, leaves Columbia at
p. m.: Chester SIS p. M. Rock Hill
sos. and arrives at Charlotte at 100
p. m.
Train No. 80 leaves Columbia al
955 p. M: Chester 11.46 p. m.; Rock
at 1920 a. m.; and arrives at Char
lotte at LIS a. IN.
The Carolina and North Westerns
train No. 10, leaving YOrkville at 9.Ol
a. M, will make close connection al
Hickory with the GoldsbOro and Ashe-
VILE division of the Southern both east
and west
There is to be no change on the
Marion and Kingsville division of the
Southern except that No. IA which
now passes YOrkville going east al
1915 a. n., will after Sunday, pass
here at 1910 a. m.
The changes on the Charlotte -COlum
bia division Of the Southern make II
pretty hard on the people of Yorkville in
the matter of connections both north
and south, and there is talk Of an ap-
peal to the railroad people to change
the schedules of Nos. 16 and II so as
to make YOrkville, instead Of Rock
Hill. their terminal point.
