A Rare Autograph.

porter.
"That Of Thomas Lynch, Jr.," an

Thu Qridin of MRox.n

w. mo Virgin OF 1OZs'
The origin of "Boz" is known to most
readers interested in Dickens. A
younger brother Of the novelist was
known in the family circle as Moses,
in facetious allusion to one of the char
acters in the "Vicar Of Wakefield"
and this being pronounced in fun
through the nose became 'Boses'' and
SO "Boz," which Dickens adopted as
his early pen name. Boz" he once
wrote, was a very familiar household
word to me long before I was an au-
thor, and 80 came to adopt 1t.
Before the real name Of "Boz" be-
came well known somebody invented
and circulated the following smart cpl
gram:
Who the Dickens "Boz" could be
Puzzled many curious ELF
Till time unveiled the mystery
And "Boz' appeared as Dickens SELF
Hood wrote punningly, but INGRAM
matically:
Aren't that ERE Boz uptop feller?
Lots write well, but he writes Weller.

Animals Arc Poor Sailors.

The polar bear is the only wild ami.
NAL that likes trip on the water, &C.
cording to French scientist who has
studied it's behavior at sea. He is
quite jolly when aboard ship. but all
other animals violently resent such
a voyage and vociferously give vent to
their feelings until seasickness brings
silence.
The tiger suffers most Of all. He
whines pitifully, lis eyes water con-
tinually, and he rubs his stomach with
his terrible paws. Horses are bad
sailors and often die on sea voyage.
Oxen are heroic in their attempts
not to give way to seasickness. Ele-
plants do not like the sea. but they
are amenable to medical treatment. A
good remedy is buckeful of hot wa
ter containing three and half pints
Of whisky and seven ounces of quiz

WITHIN THE TOWN.

The fire department was called out
shortly before noon yesterday on ac-
count of a blaze in the roof Of the resi-
dence of Mr.. w. M. Mcconnell on
Church street The fire had probably
originated from spark from the CHM
ney and was making considerable head
way when the fire wagon arrived. The
firemen, however, did good work and
extinguished the flames in short order
Except for the quick arrival Of the fire
department the building would have
been destroyed. AS it was, the loss from
both fire and water was comparative
ly small. Mr.. Mcconnell was fully in
sured.
The transfer of the children Of the
Episcopal Church Home orphanage
from Charleston to Yorkville was COM
pleted yesterday afternoon. The chill
dren, about forty in number, in charge
of Deaconesses Gadsden and Vile
reached here on the Southern train,
and were welcomed at the depot by a
great crowd of interested and sympa-
thetic people, including representatives
of practically all the different religious
denominations In the town. There were
on hand several automobiles and nu-
merous carriages, phaetons and bug
gies, and the children were quickly
taken to their splendid new home in
the recently repaired and renovated

the committee, the people of Yorkville
and vicinity had already contributed

add to the comforts Of housekeeping

LIQUOR CONSUMPTION.

The liquor consumption throughout
York county Is probably lighter at this
time than it has been at any time pre-
viously for two or three generations.
This, from the best information obtain
able, is not so much from any special
development of temperance sentiment
as 1t is because of the difficulty to get
whisky.
In the old days when whisky could
be bought at Shelby, Pleasant Ridge,
Charlotte, Marion and Salisbury, the
daily receipts at Yorkville were quite
heavy. 1t used to be that any negro
could buy a postoffice or express order
or a bank draft, enclose 1t in a letter
and get his jug Of whisky either that
same day or the day following, and as
the result, the liquor receipts were
heavy. The prohibition Of the liquor
business on the North Carolina line
made quite a noticeable difference,
but most of the trade was diverted to
Marion and Salisbury, N. c., and ship
ments continued heavy.
When North Carolina went dry and
put a stop to liquor sales at Salisbury
and Marion, the liquor dealers had to
move to Jacksonville, Richmond and
Chattanooga, and although they have
continued to solicit their old customers
through means of personal and circular
ctters, their sales have appreciably di-
minished The trouble seems to be,
not so much the higher express rates
from Richmond, Jacksonville, Chatta-
nooga, ETC., as the longer time 1t takes
to get a shipment Of liquor after send
ing out an order.
An official in a position to know, in
forms The Enquirer that the liquor re-
ceipts in Yorkville by express now, are
lighter than they were even when the
dispensary was located here. He esti-
mates that the total receipts, most Of
which come from Richmond and Jack
sonville, with an occasional shipment

The fact that real estate offers the
best opportunity for the most profitable
investment that can be made In this
county cannot be repeated too often
or course, investors must be judicious
and get the best possible values for
their money; but with reasonable dis
cretion there is very little danger even
here. While we would not be under
stood as suggesting that the price OF
real estate, or of any particular piece
of real estate, may not go down, the
general upward tendency is almost GER
tain. It is as certain as anything can
we'll be. This section Of the country
has been rapidly coming to its own
within the past few years. There is no
doubt of the fact that it is as good a
country as can be found anywhere
We really and truly believe that 1t is
the very best section Of this union
The fact is generally becoming known
and appreciated, and rapid development
during the next few years is certain
The man who has money to invest and
who is hesitating as to where to put
it, should give the most careful consid-
Grafton to real estate.

John Witherspoon.-A $4,000 monu-
ment will be erected in Washington, d.
c., May Goth to the memory Of Rev.
John Witherspoon. The money for the
monument was appropriated by the
United States congress in recognition
Of the services Of this great patriot.
John Witherspoon was closely connect
ed with the organization Of the Pres
byterian church in this country. For
a number Of years he was president Of
Princeton, and during his administra-
ton he had a wide influence over those
who afterwards became active in the
American Revolution. While president
he was elected member Of the Conti-
mental congress and was the only min
lister among the signers Of the Decla-
ration Of independence. He was not a
silent member by any means, but spoke
with great power in favor Of independ-
ence. His words on that occasion are
often quoted:
For my own part, Of property have
some, of reputation more. That repu-
tation Is staked, that property Is pledg-
ed, on the issue Of this contest; and al
though these gray hairs must soon de-
scend into the sepulchre, I would in
finitely rather that they descend thith-
er by the hand Of the executioner than
=. .ert at this issue the sacred cause
of my country"
We are glad that a monument Is to
be erected to so worthy a man.-AssO-
ciate Reformed Presbyterian.

THE cAPERs MEMORIAL.

The following from the Columbia
States report Of the proceedings of the
Episcopal Council Of the Diocese OF
South Carolina, in session in Spartan
burg yesterday, is Of especial interest
in Yorkville:
Rev. A. r. Mitchell, chairman Of the
committee on the Bishop Capers me-
mortal, read the report Of his commit
tee. He said the committee was some
what disappointed in the amount so far
received. It was the opinion Of the
committee that a canvass should De
made throughout the diocese In the IN
terest Of the memorial.
Rev. T. T. Walsh said that he was
unalterably opposed to the erection or
chapel at the orphanage at Yorkvllle
for the reason that there Is already
chapel there, and new one would IN.
terfere with the work He said that
when the $4,000 was raised 1t would be
time enough to decide the form the
memorial would take. Bishop Guerry,
in speaking of the memorial, said that
it was q very serious matter; that IL
the suggestion of Rev. Mr.. Walsh was
carried out it would be. serious oioW
TO the raising of the fund. Bishop
Guerry said that the matter had al
ready been delayed too long, because
II had been undecided for so long where
the orphanage would be located. He
said that he could not imagine any
more powerful influence Of the church
over the minds Of the young than to
bring them into a beautiful place TO
worship.
81 saw Mrs. Capers and other mem
bers of the family" said Bishop Guer-
ry, land they thought that some
building would be the proper memorial
to erect. l consulted with the dea-
coness of the orphanage before 1t was
taken from Charleston and she told
me that they needed a chapel. l don't
think that a chapel at Yorkville will
interfere with the work Of Mr.. Walsh:
This matter ought to be decided now"
Rev. o. T. Porcher said that he could
not think Of anything more fatal than
for this memorial to take the form OF
a chapel and that it was not wise to
duplicate a $4,000 chapel at Yorkville.
He suggested some Industrial hall as
the form of the memorial, saying that
II would be a noble memorial to him
who was so great a worker himself.
Bishop Guerry said that II Rev. Mr.
Porcher's suggestion were carried out
It would mean the indefinite postpone
ment of the whole matter. Mr.. Evison
offered an amendment to the resolution
Of the committee which reported on
the Bishop Capers memorial that In
stead Of the word chapel the word in
dustrial hall be used.
The vote was taken on the amend
ment and it was carried, thus settling
the form OF the Bishop Capers memo
rial as an Industrial hall.
