BLACKSBURG BUDGET. What the Farmers are Doing? Resignation of a Pa?tor?Death of Captalu John B. Mints. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. .Blacksburg, May 10.?Our town has been almost deserted by the farmers for the past two weeks. The weather has been so favorable that they could hot afford to lose the opportunity for finishing their cotton planting and working over their early corn and potatoes. A good many of our people are paying more attention to the cultivation of their gardens and the care of their cows than formerly, as they derive a considerable part of their income from the sale of milk, butter and vegetables, since the establishment of good hotels has brought more people to our town, and thereby created a demand for such things. There is another industry which would pay well, and should be engaged in by those who are prepared for it, and that is the raising of sheep. Formerly they were quite abundant in this section and throve well; but since the "stock" law was put in force, the difficulty of keeping up pasture fences, etc., has caused our farmers to almost abandon sheep raising. Let some of them revive it again. Good mutton will always sell, and at a better price than beef. At this season of the year there is an especial demand for fat lambs. Let those of our farmers who can, raise sheep again and add another to their f many suuruva ui mtvuic. Mr. A. W. Osborne is again engaged in the manufacture of brick, and expects to have a demand for them at home this summer. The stockholders of the Cherokee Falls Manufacturing company will hold their annual meeting at Cherokee Falls, near here, tomorrow. Rev. J. A. White has again resigned his pastorate of the Berea Baptist church at this place. The members have not as yet called any other minister to take charge of their church. Rev. W. S. Hamiter, pastor of the Presbyterian church, was summoned by a telegram on Thursday night last to the bedside of his father, who was very ill at his home in Houston, Miss. Mr. Hamiter started on Friday, but his father died before he reached him. In his severe affliction and loss, Mr. Hamiter has the heartfelt sympathy of all of our people. John B. Mintz, one of our oldest and most respected citizens, died yesterday at his home on Broad river, at 11 o'clock a. m., of jaundice, after an illness of several months. He was born in December, 1810, near Island Ford, Rutherford county, N. C. By the loss of his father, and without the advantages of even an ordinary education, he was, at early age, thrown upon his own resources, and soon exhibited that strength of mind and character, together with an honesty of purpose and execution, that marked all of his subsequent dealings with his fellow men, and rendered his business career one of unusual success and usefulness. In 1840 he went to Hurricane Shoals Iron > works, Spartanburg county, as a laborer. His integrity and fine judgment in business matters were soon recognized, and in 1842 he was employed at the Cherokee Ford Iron works as one of the bosses. He rose rapidly in the estimation of his employers, and in 1843 he was appointed manager of the works at the latter place, and held the position until 1852, when he resigned to take charge ** * * ' * ' HuflTalA form An oi ms large auu vaiunuic uuuwv nuu> Broad river, which he purchased from Mr. Junius Thomson, of Spartanburg. In 1867, with the late J. A. Deal for a partner, he attempted to reyive the manufacture of iron at the old King's Mountain Iron Works on Broad river, where the Cherokee Falls cotton mill is now located; but on account of the ezpensiveness of charcoal, the impossibility of getting stone coal, and the competition of Northern iron manufacturers, the work was abandoned. During his management at the Cherokee Ford Iron works, Captain Mintz made annual visit to the iron works at Lewiston and other places in Pennsylvania, for the purpose of adding to his knowledge in the manufacture of the metal, and brought back with him valuable ideas which he would put into practical use for the advancement of his own especial work, and the benefit of his employers. As a citizen Captain Mintz had broad and liberal views on all public questions, and was fearless in expressing and maintaining them. As a man among his fellowmen, he exhibited the qualities of a warm and generous heart and a liberal hand. While he * ' J inrlnofrtr aenouuceu luieuess uuu cuwui^u and economy, he would never send a poor man away empty from his crib or smoke house, and by that class of people he will be especially missed. . Captain Mintz raised a large family of children, the majority of whom are still living at and near our town, and are among our most respected and useful citizens. He was a member of the Baptist church, and also a devoted Mason, and will be buried with Masonic honors at Buffalo this afternoon at 2 o'clock. w. a. LETTER FROM HICKORY GROVE. Advantages of Living at Home?Some Personal Notes. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. Hickory Grove, April 9.?The people in this section have planted only about twothirds as much cotton this year as in former years. They are, however, raising considerably more corn, wheat and oats. The outlook is that the Northwest will not furnish our rations next year, an<l this is, to say the least of it, encouraging. This town has been annually selling ten or twelve carloads of flour, nearly 100,000 pounds of bacon, and several carloads of corn. The money that we have been paying for these things will hereafter be kept at home, and our people will have learned a lesson in economy that will be well worth all the inconvenience that the hard times dre putting them to. The fact has recently been discovered that there are considerable deposits of iron pyrites, suitable for the manufacture of sulphurin Acid, in this vicinitv. Mr. M. R. Reese, of Blacksburg, and Mr. Val Thomassou, of this place, are investigating the matter for what they can make out of it. Mr. R. S. Lipscomb, one of Gaffney City's foremost merchants, was here last week on business. Dr. Geo. Walker, of Yorkville, was up on business a few days ago. Miss Lizzie Hughes and Miss M. F. Whitlock have been visiting the family of Mr. W. J. Moorehead. Mr. C. M. Whisonant has moved into his new residence on Wylie avenue. Rev. G. H. Waddell's handsome residence is nearing completion, and we hear that it is to T>e "Occupied by Dr. Miles J. Walker, of Union county. There are three Sunday schools in this township?one an A. R. P., one a Methodist, and the other a Baptist, and it is proposed to organize them into an interdenominational association. Rev. W. W.

Conditions of the Crops?The New Pastor at Bnlloek's Creek?Change In the Mail Route Suggested. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. Gould, May 9.?This morning is rather cool, with indications of rain, which will be very acceptable at this time. The cotton crop is about all planted. So is the corn crop, except some bottom lands, and they have been .well prepared and are ready to plant this week if the weather is favorable. The oat crop continues to hold out favorable promise. I have heard some of the older farmers say that they have never seen a better prospect at this season of the year, and if the present prospect holds out, there will be plenty of feed for stock within the next two weeks. Most of the early plantings of corn have been worked out, and there is generally a good stand, except in cold, spouty lands. More attention has been given gardens this spring than usual. They have been generally well set with plants, and are doing well. The Irish potato crop is unusually large, and is generally looking well. Rev. J. D. Swan has accepted the call from Bullock's Creek congregation, and is expected to arrive soon. He has an appointment to preach in the Bullock's Creek church on the fourth Sabbath in this month. Mrs. Harriet Parks, an aged lady of this neighborhood, is critically ill with paralysis. Mr. J. D. Hamilton has suggested a change in the mail route from Yorkville to . ry . Gould, which, if carried out, will be a great convenience to a great many people in this section. His idea is that the mail go from Blairsville by way of Hoodtown, Gould, Bullock's Creek, Jos. Carroll's, Bagdad, J. C. McKnights's and John Latham's to Yorkville. Two new offices may be opened?; one at Mr. Jos. Carroll's, and the other at Mr. John Latham's, and the whole trip be made by the addition of two miles of distance to the present route. Judging from reports, we have a good crop of candidates down here, and out of the number we hope to get a county commissioner. h. NOTES FROM SMYRNA. The People Hard at Work?Too Busy to Bother With Politics. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. Smyrna, May 9.?As there has been nothing for a while from our place, I guess I had better send a few dots for feaf that the people may think that Smyrna ceases to be. But such is not the case. Although the spotted dog is dead, and the pine stump has been rolled away, Smyrna is here yet. There is very little that I can say in the way of news, for we are not taking much stock in politics around here. Everybody around here seems to be trying to make corn, and in making corn are attending to their own affairs. Even if Tillman is elected, it is no more than we expected, and we are climbing up the farmer's stairs. We are greatly encouraged by the outlook for wheat and oats. Wheat and oats are beirinnine to head out, and it looks that we will soon have something with which to go to mill. We have been having a pretty rough time so far, but most of us look about as well as last year, even if we have not had as much to eat. Most of us are inclined to look at the situation as the apostles of old. As for ourselves, and our houses, we intend to look uuto the hills whence our help cometh, and continue to work our crops and let politics alone. The weather last week was all that could be desired for farm work, but the sudden change of Saturday night makes things look a little dry and cold at the present. Most of the people have pretty good stands of cotton up, and this week are harrowing and chopping out. Planting generally is is completed. Brief Remarker. LOWRYSYILLE NOTES. Farm Work?Catawba Falls? Big Picnic at Lowrysyille. Correspondence of theYorkvllle Enquirer. Lowrysyille, May 9.?We are in need of rain at this time to bring cotton to a stand. That which was planted before the last rain, about three weeks ago, is not coming up satisfactorily. That planted since is doing better. Corn is doing very well, but oats are needing rain very badly. Your correspondent attended the Catawba Falls picnic on last Saturday. A large crowd was on hand from York, Lancaster, Fairfield and Chester. The weather was all that could be desired, and everybody enjoy ed themselves hugely. Catawba Falls is certainly the grandest water power to be found in the State, and it is certainly a lamentable fact that it should be running to waste for so many years while the North is manufacturing our cotton at such large profits. The candidates were out in force, and all returned highly satisfied with the day's work. There will be a grand exhibition at the close of Professor Douglas's school on the 31st of May, and a picnic on Wednesday. Messrs. McCants and McDonald, of Winnsboro, and Mr. J. K. Henry, of Chester, candidates for solicitor, have accepted invitations to be present. The public is invited. w. o. a. SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS. ? JefFWray, a white man, was convicted in Orangeburg county last Saturday of murder in the first degree. ? Two prisoners escaped from the Greenville jail last Sunday morning through a sewer pipe. ? Mr. George Sheppard, a half brother of ex-Governor John C. Sheppard, died at his home in Edgefield county on Monday. ? Governor T^hnan has been elected a member of the State convention from Edgefield, and Senator "Irby will be a member from Laurens. ? It is reported that Bunch McBee, the great bamboozler of free pass fame, has been appointed superintendent of the West Shore railroad. ? The factory of the Pine Fibre company, near Aiken, was burned to the grouna last Friday afternoon. The lost is estimated at $20,000; insurance $10,000; The building was situated at Crofts, on the Carolina, Cumberland Gap and Chicago railway, about five miles from Aiken. The company pro poses to erect a Dew uuuumg uuu resume operations as soon as possible. ? News from Hamburg is to the effect that that town proposes to engage in a prohibition fight soon. This is probably a preliminary to the fight in Augusta. Hamburg is just across the river from Augusta, and is connected by a bridge. Under present conditions, the Augusta people know that if they vote for prohibition, Hamburg will at once become a liquor centre, and the Augusta people will realize no benefit whatever from the suppression of the traffic in their city. ? Ed Whiteley, the negro who murdered policeman Moran in Charlotte recently, was captured near Winnsboro last Friday evening. He had beeq in the neighborhood about four weeks, working about at whatever he could find to do, and of course traveling under au assumed name. He became engaged in a fracas, and along with other loud talk, spoke of the killing of Moran. His talk excited suspicion that led to an investigation resulting in his complete identification. His captors are entitled to $500 reward offered jointly by the State of North Carolina and the city of Charlotte. ? Newberry special of Thursday : Casper Nance, a man living on Mr. A. J Gibson's place, was buried alive in a well for nine hours on Monday last. He was sent down in the well to unloose a bucket that had become fastened in some way at the bottom, and as he started up, thirty feet of rock wall fell in upon him. Hands were at once put to work to rescue the man. It took hard work to get out the fallen wall. They worked from 8 o'clock a. m. to 5 o'clock p. m., and Nance was found safe and sound without even a broken bone. The escape was miraculous. ? Two colored laborers were seriously injured by the caving in of a sewerage trench, in Greenville, one day last week. Just after the firing of a blast, the men weut into the trench, which was about nine feet deep, to remove the debris. They had no suspicion of danger, and when the earthen walls gave way, one of the men was covered entirely up and the other buried to his waist in an upright position, but unable to move. Both of the men were rescued as soon as possible, and Messrs. Goforth & Ormand, the contractors, had them provided with the best medical attention that could be procured. No blame for the accident seems to attach to any one. ? Kandal Tavel, a lG-year-oltl son of Mr. 1 TnooT\Vi T?vf?l wlin lives at Beech Island, on the Savannah river, met with a horrible death on Monday of last week. He was returning from the field where he had been plowing all day, riding a mule. The mule was a very vicious animal, and becoming frightened at something, ran away. The boy was thrown ofT, but one foot becoming entangled in a trace chain, he was dragged along for several hundred yards. Mr. Tavel met the runaway mule, and after considerable effort succeeded in reaching the side of his son. Young Tavel, however, was so badly injured that he died in a few minutes. His skull was crushed and his face and body were bruised almost beyond recognition. ? A gentleman from Walhalla, yesterday related to a News reporter a case for which ' there is hardly any parallel. For some time a mule belonging to John I). Verner, of Oco, nee county, had been acting strangely. On i Saturday the mule was sent to Walhalla to ; be bled. It was put in charge of Henry Simp; son, a colored boy, who led it to town, lie had reached Walhalla, when suddenly the J mule seized one of the boy's arms in its mouth j and closed down on it with a fearful grip. I The animal seemed to be determined to kill j | the boy and dragged him about, still hold-1 ing his arm. The boy's screams brought assistance, but blows had no effect 011 the enraged animal, and it had to be shot and killed before the boy's arm could be released, j The limb was terribly mutilated and the boy! is said tube in a serious condition. It is I now believed that the mule was stitiering | from hydrophobia.?Greenville News. ? News and Courier: The stockholders of the Charleston Cotton mill are considering the advisability of removing their plant to Lockhart shoals, in Union county, on account of the difficulty they are now experiencing in procuring as much skilled white labor as they require. The shoals, which are said by expert authority to furnish the finest water power in the South, are owned by Colonel Charles Farrar. For more than a year some of the leading business men in the up-country have been interested in building mills at the shoals. Of this number were Colonel Joseph Walker and D. E. Converse, of Spartanburg. At one time it was rumored that a company with a capital stock of $1,000,000 had been formed, but the plan seemed never to have materialized or to have taken a more definite shape than that of mere rumor. Much money has, however, been expended in improving the shoals and in ascertaining the exact extent of the power to be derived from them. Calculations made by experts indicate that the water power is practically limitless and that it could be dedeveloped at a comparatively small cost. Work has also been done on a branch line of railroad, which it is proposed to complete, from the Spartanburg and Union road to the shoals. But the strangest part of the whole story is the fact that in a city of over thirty thousand white people, it has been found impossible to secure enough help to _ - - J11 run a conon mm LIST OF LETTERS.

With a voice like the cry of u giant the virtues of Campbell's Anti-Ferihent should be proclaimed from every hill top, valley and plain. In the summer complaints of children, and the diarrhoea and dysentery that accompanies teething, and that so often proves futal to the child, it is of untold value: A joy and rest and peace to the mother, and a boon to the child. One dose will relieve the most distressing attack of llatulence or wind on the stomach. One dose cures heartburn or acid stomach. A dose after each meal is such an aid to digestion that bad forms of indigestion and dyspepsia soon yield to the treatment. A Kingdom for a Horse. A kingdom for a horse cried Richard the III. Anti-Ferment for a horse is very much better. One 50 cents bottle is warranted to cure any case of colic in the noble animal, if the directions are followed. All agents are authorized to refund the price of a bottle in all cases where it fails to cure. At headquarters we do the same, of course. John V. Kuykkndai., Manufacturer and Proprietor.

There is very little doubt but there will be a considerable reduction in the cotton area in York county this year, and we hope the change will prove a blessing to all the people. If the cotton planted yields a profit to the growersf it is absolutely necessary that the expense of raising the crop be reduced to the lowest point consistent with thorough preparation and cultivation. Now it is to be supposed that the preparation feature lias already been attended to, and the next?the cultivation?will commen?!e in a very short time. All live, progressive farmers now admit that the SIDE HARROW is the most economical and effective devico for the cultivation of young cotton, and all who havo tested those handled by us during the past two seasons are enthusiastic in their praise, and all who have examined them admit that they nre ahead of any other HARROW of thisBtyle on the market.

March 1 1 If ACT TODAY, TOMORROW 0 May be Too Late; at Least That Has Been the Experience of Others. o THERE are hundreds, yes, thousands of men all over this country who thoroughly realize that no plan has yet been devised by which they can more easily and surely provide for those dependent upon them in case they are taken away by death, than a life insurance policy in a first class company. They all expect to attend to the matter some day?next fall, next year, when their financial condition is such that they can supply all their imaginary wants and have a sufficient surplus to carry a policy. Thousands go down to the grave every year without attending to the matter, and leave their dear ones penniless and to depend either on charity or to eko out an existence as best they can. Is the picture familiar? Is it overdrawn? Read the following extract from The Insurance Post, of London, England, and learn what one who speaks from bitter experience has to say on the subject: I am looked upon as a happy man. The world says: "There is Bright; he's a lucky dog. What a lovely wife he has and what fine children! If you want to see a charming home, look in at Bright's." I was a happy man; I used to fancy myself one of the most fortunate fellows alive. I felt proud of the way I had got along; sometimes I used to think I surely must have been born under a lucky star; I seemed to prosper in everything. When I began in the store I was the junior clerk, but I worked up; promotions never seemed to fall in anybody's way faster than they did in mine. Everybody said when I married: "Bright's a lucky dog." My wife was the belle of the city; it would have gladdened the hearts of fifty fellows whom I might name to have won ner if they could, but her love was reserved for me. Then the children?well, well. a father's praises are usually accepted with grains of allowance; I won't say anything that might seem to be mere parental rapture. Now, I'vo mentioned the reason why the world thinks me a happy man. Perhaps you think the world is right ? My God i I wish it was. The other day an old friend, a school chum, called on meat the store; we got to talking about life insurance. I don't know how many life insurance men have tried to induce mo to insure my life; I always put them off. Frankly. I never thought seriously about needing life insurance?never thought I needed it now. I remember that I said to myself, "After awhile." I knew I hadn't saved any money, but then I would. Once an agent tried to tell me it was my duty towards my wife and children to insure ; I thought him impertinent. He made me angry; I tola him I knew my own business. My friend urged me to take a policy, as he had lately engaged in the life insurance business. Finally, I said I would, thinking it a favor to him ; it was easier to say yes than no. I went to be examined by the medical examiner. Two or three days later I was asked to call again. I was examined a second time. I thought the proceedings a bore, and began to wish I nad not signed the application. A week after my friend came into the store; I asked him about my insurance, and he said the company had rejected, the application. Ho didn't say it quite as direct as this, but in a roundabout hesitating way. He tried to be gentle in imparting the information. At last I came to understand that I was uninsurable. "Kidney disease?incurable," the examiner said. I consulted an eminent physician; he confirmed it?quietly told me I might live two years. Two years!?two years in which to prepare to die! I dare not tell my wife; it would be well enough by-and-by.i Like a condemned felon, I count the days and hours?days and hours in which to breatno silent farewell to those I love. What can I do in two years?such years? What provision can I make for them ? I said I never thought seriously about life insurance. 1 never did until now, when it is too late. "Uninsurable !" rings in my ears. Never did a leper shudder more at those words descriptive of his fearful doom, "Unclean! unclean!" than I do as the voice in my ear says, "Uninsurable!" It says more than that. It tells me of the cruelty of my procrastination; it tells me that I am dead, that my dear wife and children are destitute. My Goal it is hard to bear. Everything that made me happy before makes me wretched now. The agony of the thought of parting from my family, terrible as it is, is as nothing to the certain knowledge that I shall leave them comparatively poor. I have figured it all out; after paying my funeral expenses there will be barely enough left to supply them with the necessaries of life forsix months. * ? * My friends have begun to notice that "Bright has acted queer lately." * * * I saw a young woman today begging on the street, and with her were two little children, who tugged at her skirt and cried: "Mamma, please take us homo; we are so cold and hungry." The Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association of New York, has been in existence eleven years. It is incorporated under the laws of that State. It has a Reserve Fund of $3,230,404, and every dollar of this amount is for the protection of policy holders. It has over $218,000,000 of insurance in force. It has paid death claims to the amount of $12,556,218, and has never swindled or attempted to swindle a beneficiary out of a single cent. It furnishes life insurance at about half the rate charged by the "old line" companies. It has saved its policy holders over $30,000,000 as compared to what they would have been forced to pay the "old line" companies. Policies non-forfeitable and non-contestiblo after three years.
