kets were busy buying horses and
mules in Missouri and other middle
western states for distribution to
planters. At st. Louis, which sells the
south as many as $4,000 mules each
fall and winter season, fewer cotton
mules have been handled than in the
memory Of the oldest dealers there.
Both horse and mule dealers at St.
Louis are filling European orders for
horses and they are making such
tremendous profits that it probably
would be almost impossible for the
south to buy mules If 1t desired the
animals. All Of the available barns
at st. Louis are crowded with war
horses, and new barns are being
erected to handle this vast business.
In Kansas City, barn room is also at
a premium. At one Of the concentra-
ton posts near here, farmers are re-
ceiving $25 a year an acre for the rent
Of land on which to hold horses and
mules awaiting shipment to Europe.
In the winter Of 1894, the south
bought a record number Of mules and
horses. Even after these purchases,
however, it was not supplied adequate
ly with work stock and Missouri deal
ers believe that, even If planters wish
ed they could hardly put In as much
land to cotton this year as in 1914.
Missouri mule dealers are usually in
constant communication with the
south, as more than rs per cent OF
their trade Is normally with the cot
ton states.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1915-02-23

cannot recall a year when so few
mules and horses were purchased by
the south as in the season now clos
ing. Only in the last few weeks, fol-
lowing the development Of buoyancy in
the New York and other cotton mark
cts, did the south even begin to in
quire about buying mules. The recent
sharp advances have brought a little
trade, but the aggregate sales have not
been equal to one days fair business
in horses and mules with the cotton
states in the winter Of 1914. With
out doubt, the few mules which have
been moving to the south lately are
probably going to planters who sold
aged animals to the dealers handling
British orders. The British buyers
have been showing preference for old
mules because the mortality among
them Is lower than among young
mules in the trip across the Atlantic.
Fort Worth, Nashville, Memphis and
Oklahoma City are among the points
in the south which have been making
sales to British and other European
army buyers. A year ago these mar

and ten years Of Bethany's history.
From the time DR.. Boyce resigned
this branch Of his charge it was sup
piled by various members Of the pres
bytery until the fall of 1886, when a
petition was sent to the presbytery Tor
the moderation Of call, accompanied
by the request that the present pastor
supply them until the next meeting
with a view to settlement. / did my
first preaching at Bethany during a
communion meeting embracing the
call was placed in my hands by the
presbytery in session at Smyrna, April
5th, 1887. 1t was for three-fourths
Of the time and promised salary Of
$3.50 and a parsonage. 1t was accept
ed and the installation took place on
the 18th Of the following May. Dr.
Ross preached, propounded the con-
stitutional questions and delivered the
charge to the pastor, and DR.. Boyce
charged the people. The text Of DR..
Ross sermon was I Tim, iv, 16, Take
heed unto thyself and unto the doc
trine: continue in them; for In doing
this thou shalt both save thyself and
them that hear thee"
In reviewing the work Of the twen-
ty years it will perhaps be better to

of the congregation. When came,
the elders were as follows: William
McGill, William Oates. M. C.. Low
rance, w. S. Plaxco, w. D. Lessly and
w. S. Love. The impression these ell
ders made on me when / first met
them was that they were Cody set
Of men, and l had no occasion to
change this opinion when l became
better acquainted with them. Messrs.
McGill, Oates, Lowrance and Plaxco
were old men, and Messrs. Lessly and
Love represented the younger element
of the congregation. 1t is sad to
think that Mr.. Lessly is the only one
of the six who is with us now. Mr.
Love is in the Sharon congregation,
while the others have finished their
work and entered upon their reward.
Blessed are the dead which die in the
Lord from henceforth; yea, saith the
Spirit, that they may rest from their
labors: and their works do follow
them" Mr.. Oates died in 1888, Mr..

and Mr.. McGill in 1898. The deacons
