Evolution Of the Carriage Tire.

Carriage tires we're made for short
period prior to 1898, but in this year
the famotis Solid Wing Carriage Tire
was made by the Goodyear Tire q
Rubber Company, Akron, Ohio, "
says G. w. Martin, manager OF the
carriage tire department.
"Nine out Of ten people, If asked
whether or not they thought the
carriage and buggy business was on
the increase, would answer that they
were positive it was going down hill
mighty fast. The data gathered from
manufacturers Of carriages and bug
gies proves that conditions are other
wise. They report that business is
on the increase, and are enthusiastic
about next years business.
"In the nineties the idea OF applying
rubber tire to a buggy was first
conceived. The first rubber tired
buggy was operated in Detroit, and
like the first bicycle, created consld-
cradle interest, also comment and
criticism.
Like most all innovations, the
carriage tire was considered a fad.
However, it has grown remarkably
until at the present time it is staple
article.
"The demand for carriage tires is
increasing each year, which Is proven
not only by the number of tires manu-
featured, but also by statistics from
the buggy and carriage manufactur-
erS
eve entered the field of carriage
tire manufacturing early. Shortly
after we invented and placed upon
the market the Wing Carriage Tire,
which has held an eminent position
in this field ever since.
Carriage tires we're not on the
market for any length of time until 1t
developed that their construction was
lacking in one respect. Dirt and
water sifted between the base of the
tire and the rim which caused the
fabric to break. resulting in the loosen
ing of the internal wires. This detri-
mental condition was overcome in the
Wing Tire. Instead of allowing the
sides of the tires to extend directly
to the base we decided to mold that
portion of the tire fitting in the chan
mel outwardly.
Gin this manner the wing of the
tire was PARALLEL to the top OF the
channel, which prevented foreign
substances from entering.
''The Wing tire was made and sold
as an improvement over the original
plain tire. The evidence of its super
iority resulted almost Immediately in
remarkable sales.
Approximately hale the vehicles
manufact ured this year will be
equipped with Goodyear Carriage
Tires. -

There is often to be heard some ac-

the high price of eggs Had all the

sold some forty years ago by an old
negress, no crusade Of housekeepers,
league of considerate dealers, or rebel

to keep the price from soaring far be-

How do you sell eggs, aunty?" she
was asked one day by a pleasant gen.

know dey's fust-rate."
The gentleman was hungry, and the
old woman's gay turban, neat dress
and brimming basket made an entic-
Ing picture. He laid down a small
coin, and took an egg. Have you pep

"Yes, sir; here dey is" she, respond

who, producing a small penknife, pro-
ceeded leisurely to cut his egg exactly
in half-when a bright new quarter
was revealed, lying embedded in the

picked up another egg, and asked Its
price. Her eyes, still fastened upon the

were fairly bulging as she gasped:

Mountain which was fought In York
county, about thirteen miles north
east Of Yorkville, has been printed In
The Enquirer so often that all Of the
readers Of the paper are thoroughly
familiar with It; but still such a glo-
rious event will easily bear repeating
as often as once a year, and the fol-
lowing account from Ashes history of
North Carolina will still be new to
many:
ferguson having information Of
the approach Of Whig column, had
taken q strong position on the top of
Kings Mountain, twelve miles distant
from Cherokee ford, on Broad river
and in full confidence that he could
not be forced from q post possessing
such natural advantages The assail-
ants were formed into three divisions,
and cody ascended the mountain from
different directions. The day was wet
and their approach being fortunately
undiscovered, the Wings easily took
the British pickets. AS the column
was arranged the Washington and
Sullivan regiments gaining their posi-
tions first, began the attack on the
olinians under Winston, Sewer and
Cleveland was assigned the attack on
the rear and other flank. Campbell on
the center opened destructive fire,
but Ferguson resorted to the bayonet
and forced him back. At that instant
however, Shelby poured IN volley
alike effective, Ferguson turned furi-
ously on his new foe. advancing with
the bayonet; but Shelby having reach
ed the summit Of the eminence, drove
the British along the ridge to where
Cleveland commanded, and his brave
men stopped them In that quarter
Undismayed by this unexpected resist
ance, Ferguson now made a grand
rally, his men fighting desperately;
but all the Whig divisions acting In
cooperation, the Tory force could
make but slight impression. Fergu-
son was now opposed by the troops OF
Shelby, Sewer, Hambright, and Wins
ton and for an hour the battle ragged
without abatement. At length the
British commander sought to escape
on horseback but fell dead trying to
force his way out. -.
"The fire of the beleaguered Tories
now slackened, and soon there was an
unconditional surrender. OF Fergu-
sons force, 300 were killed or wound
ed; 100 regulars and 700 Loyalists
were taken and 1900 stands Of arms
fell into the possession Of the Wings
The loss Of the assailants was small,
but among the killed was Colonel VIII
liams Of South Carolina, distinguished
as one Of the most active and resolute
of the partisan leaders, and Maj. Will
liam Chronicle, whose loss was great
'ly lamented. It was night before the
prisoners were all secured, and the
victors slept on the battlefield"

Washington, September 21: A sur
plus of from $4,000. 900 to s16,00O,000
over current needs Of the government
will be provided by the new tariff law,
in the opinion of Senator Simmons,
chairman of the joint conference COM
mittee, which is to report the complete
Democratic tariff bill to the house and
senate next week. Experts from the
treasury department who have been
keeping up with the conference COM
mIttee during its two weeks of labor
worked late tonight, perfecting a COM
plete estimate Of the revenues the gov
ernment will receive under the law.
The total had not been completed to-
night. but Democratic leaders were as
sured that there would be no deficien-
cy. Interest centred today about the
development in the fight over the pro-
posed tax on trades in cotton futures.
The conference report was completed
today and will be laid before the Re-
publican conferees. OF the 676 amend
ments to the bill that were taken up
by the Democratic conferees the house
receded on 427 and the senate on 1854;
while 81 were compromised. Only one
amendment, that on cotton futures, Is
left in disagreement.

CHIMESETTE AND
COAT COLLAR MAKE
NOVEL COMBINATION

THIS neck piece is a novelty, serv'
j ing the purpose of an ornamental
coat collar and chimesette to match,
both in one piece. To make 1t success
fully one must first select strong
but filmy pattern in the machinemade
laces. They will stand washing and
not draw out of shape. They do not
need to be stayed with net, as the
threads of which they are woven are
very firm.
In order to make this neck-piece ht'
q good sailor collar pattern OF tissue
paper is to be laid over the coat col
lar and brought under the lapel. The
chimoisette ends are then cut from
paper and curved out to fit the neck
in front, with the paper extended at
each side to meet the sailor collar.
Pin the pieces together where they
meet and remove the collar After
trimming away the superfuous paper
paste the two pieces together.
When the pattern has been cut in TINS
way, 1t may be found to be little IT
regular. Just one-half Of it is needed
in cutting the lace, SO this irregularity
does not make an difference.
The collar Is cut from all-oVer lace

IL may be machine stitched to place VI
the same time as the fold. Narrow
lace edging or beading may be used
instead or q very small and fine fnisn'
ing braid.
Small fancy buttons finish the
chimesette at the front, but It fastens
with tiny hooks and eyes placed I'M
der them.
This neck piece is made up in many
materials. 1t is pretty in French en-
broidered batiste, in plain wash net or
of the finest crochet laces. Wheh
made entirely by hand something Is
added to its value. It is novelty
that will make an acceptable Christ
mas present. One who knows how 70
make fine tatting could make up the
niece of little tatting wheels. Sucn a
development will produce gilt worm
several dollars.
For practical wear, however inc
machine made wash laces and nets
are best of all. 1t is the crisp fresh
ness of such little accessories thal
makes them charming.
