A Source Of Perpledty.
The question that is most worrying those
who occupy the benches for the weary in
the court house yard, is why don't some
body co me out for. the legislature? York
should by all means be represented, and
surely there is somebody in the county
who is willing to 60.

In Better Shape.
A reporter of THE ENQUIRER had oc-
casion to travel over the Kings Mountain
road a few days ago. Some additional
work has been done recently. The road
has been widened in places and also grav-
eled for considera BILE distance. The grav-
cling has wrought noticeable improve
ment, and little more of it will put the
road in firstclass condition.

him fro m Kershaw. When told by the
reporter that The ENQUIRER had re-
ceived a bloom from Bullock g Creek

About Pumping.
The State executive committee says
there shall be no "plumping" in the pri-
mary election. That is, where county
is entitled to four members of the legis-
lature, the voter must vote for that many
and no less. THE ENQUIRER has been
asked as to whether, if voter should
strike out all the names for given office,
would his ticket be legal. In our opinion,
yes. We can very easily see the justice
of prohibiting the plumping practice;
but if the voter sees fit to scratch off d
ticket all the names but one, where there
is only one candidate to be nominated,
we know of no rule to prevent the count
ing of his ballot.

State: Handsome posters announce the

day. A letter this morning from Fred
Schade, the Washington, flyer says
