to secure a moderate living for Mr.. Gri>t
and his family.
John T.. GriSt continued tn publish the
Farmers iscellany-ttterwarl known
aS the Ynrkville Miscellany-until 1851,
when he sold the plant and z md will t"
l.. NJ. Grist, who increased the size of the
paper to six columns, purchased new
press, otherwise added to the plant, and
made other improvements. About this
time another heated political wave began
to roll over the country. The parties
were aligned under the name of Separate
State ScrcssionistS and Co-operationistS.
The issue WAS secession. and the question
on which the people were divided was
whether South Carolina should Scccde
alone, regardless of the cooperation of
the other Southern States, or whether she
should only Secede in the event that she
should be accompanied by the other
Southern Stutcs. That secession, and
united secession, was the proper thing,
practically, all were agreed; hut there
were many who believed that South
Carolina should scccde, whether accom-
panied by the other Southern States or
not. The Yorkvillc Miscellany was es-
tablishcd with, for that day and time,
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1895-06-14

proprietor to adjust, as best lie could the
various enmitirS that had been incurred
during the fight.
The proprietor of the Iorkville MlSrel-
lany was young ut the time; but aS the
result of the experience he passed through
he learned some valuable lessons. Among
other things, he learned that the popularity
bruited idea that newspapers 'c"ntr'F
public opinion iSall boSh. Public OPINION
is a power of itself beyond the control "t
any human agency. 1t may be diverted
for an instant: but not controlled any
more than the tide of the ocean. General
~ founded on truth and justice, it moves
with the speed of Il snail; but with force
cuuallcd only by that which Keeps the
planets in their orbits. Newspapers are
only vehicles on which it sometimes
travels. They serve to lubricatc its path
but when they get in its way, they are
swept as the chatf before the whirlwlnd.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1895-06-14

a moderately good circulation among the
hest people of the county. The proprietor
had no political aspirations, and no desire
to mould political opinion; but as an
individual, he was opposed to Separate
State SercsSion under any circumstances;
and he thought that united secession was
decidedly umwiSe. lie had never essayed
to ventilate his views in his paper, how
ever. and was not inclined to take part in
the fight. But his individual opinion was
known, and all of sudden, he was
overwhelmed with voluntary assistance
in the work of editing his paper. N"X
POpnli and Pro- Bono Publico took
possession of his tripod, and made his
columns hot with fiery denunciations
of the Separate State Scccssionists. At
length, the other side, like the Cnionists
some l5 years before, found it necessary
and desirable to establish an organ OF their
own. Then, the fight waxel hotter, and
Vox Pnpuli and Pro Bono Publ"o red"u-
hled their Efforts. Finally, the merits Of
the issue were tested i'm Il State election
for delegates to Il proposed Southern
congress, to he held in Nashville, Tenn.
Although mare than - per cent. of all the
papers in the State had been advocating

pretense of being Il writer, and seldom
attempted to intl;ct opinions on his read
crs; but for that day and time, he made Il
good newspaper. 1t WAS filled mostly
with well selected misc 'llaueouS matter,
and news items clipped from various
exchanges. Local news did not figure
much, for then nothing was admissible
TO the columns of the country weekly
except items nf almost national impnr-
tance, and to publish th.Sc items even
before they had hccn weighed ami
considered for weeks, would have been
rather too radical an innovation to
meet with public approval. Under all

\ newspaper man, possessed o1 the
right kind of grit. dies hard. Mr.. Grist
had the right kind of grit, and he was
not disposed to give up his desire to
establish newspaper. Having in the
meantime acquired the means with which
to buy, i'm Columbia, some old and badly
worn material, and secured in Inrkville
one of the Ranagc wooden presses,
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1895-06-14

formerly used here. three years later, with
his son, l.. NJ. GriSt, who then commenced
to learn the art of type-setting-being less
than 9 years of age-on June !, lSF',
issued the first number of The Inrkvllle
Compiler. This venture was consider
able improvement on The Journal of the
Times; but it was not destined for career
of much greater success. Mr. Grist con
tinued its publication for two years, and
then sold it tn Mr.. Thomas j. Ecrles,
who came to Eorkville in the summer of
1871, and who had been helping tn get it
out. Mr.. Ecrles published the paper for
about Is months, or until July IL, lSf3,
and then let it drop and removed t"
Lincnlntnn, y. c.
Though already having made two
unsuccessful attempts. Mr. tirist was
ready to try again. Shortly after the
discontinuanre of The Compiler, he got
control of the material used in its pub
lication. and on the 10Th "f August.
1913, he issued the first number of the
Farmers Miscellany, a column folio.
L. NJ, GriSt, who was then nearly II
years of age, had learned to set type
fairly well. and waS II valuable help.

cess; but proved sufficiently protitahl"

both papers were allowed to die. The
Notification "Whig" and the Unionist
patriot" were quietly laid to rest in the
same coffin.
There being no more work for the
printers, one by one they began to seek
employment elsewhere. Mr.. Grist liked
the place, his wife was satisfied, and he
decided to remain. There was nothing
for him to d", however, and the only
thing that struck him as offering an
opportunity for livelihood, was to
establish newspaper. He was without
means, and without education except
such as had been acquired i'm the printing
office; but he was master of his trade,
full Of determination. energy and pluck,
and was not appalled, by ordinary obsta-
cles. The material that had been used in
the publication of The Patriot heing idle,
he managed to- get possession of 1t by
lease and on the 18th of June, 1873. he
got out the first number of what he called
The Journal of the Times.
York county, in 1885, was not what it is
now by any means. There were no
railroads here then. The population was
sparse, large per cent. of the white
people were unable to read, the postotlices
in the county did not exceed dozen
in number. and the mail routes were few.
Only small per cent. of the people were
in the habit ot reading newspapers, and
very often one or two copies of the paper
furnished the weekly reading matter for
whole neighborhood. Mr.. GriSt made no
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1895-06-14

Not only did the proprietor of The
Miscellany learn this; but he also learned
that the highest mission of the. true
newspaper man is To seek only that which
tends to develop the peace, prosperity
and general welfare of those amongst
whom his lot may he cast, especially
remembering always To he on his guard
against designing individuals who would
candestinely divert his trust for the fur
theranrc of their own selfish ends.
Notwithstanding the serious, though
not generally rcrogniZcrl. mistake that
had lust been made hy The Miscellany in
thus becoming an involuntary organ, its
merits as Il newspaper had won general
recognition. 1t was clear to the proprietor
that the efforts of his father and himself
had opened mp a still wider field OF
usefulness. Their incomes, however, were
ONLY sufficient for bare living, and they
were unable to control the means for any
great development. About this time, the
late John l.. Miller and Samuel w. Mel
ton, saw the opportunity that was pre-
scented, and having the necessary cash
under control, made Il proposition, AS the
result of which, in the fall of lS34, they
purchased the plant of The Miscellany.
They forthwith bought what was in that
dav considered splendid new outfit for
a country newspaper, employed Il. VI.
Grist as publisher, and on the 4th day
of january, 1850. brought ont the first
issue of THE EoRKvIILE Enquirer.
THE ESQuIRER was I-column tollo,

bright editorials. 1t waS handsomely

Il handsome increase of the fairly good
patronage that had already been accorded
To its predecessor. The Yorkville Miscel-
lany. Though not especially enterpriSing,
as compared with some of the leading
country newspaper men of today, Messrs.
Miller II Melton kept the paper up to a
high standard. and the public showed its
appreciation 10y according liberal pat
ronagr. After about two years, however,
MeSSrS. Miller Il Melton began to grow
tired of their venture. and rs the result OF
a proposition made hy them. on the 18th
of March, 1858. l.. VI. Grist became the
proprietor of the plant and good will or
the paper; agreeing to pay $1,000 for the
plant-Sl ,n)3 per lnuum for three years.
Though THE Enquirer was now
pretty well established, Mr.. Grist fully
realized that he had not stepped into an
especially soft snap. The fact is, he had
made pretty bad trade. Most of the
subscriptions and good many advertise
mcnts for the year had already been
paid for to the old firm, and he had
