"THAT DEEP LAID SCHEME" ."

THE YORKVILLE ENQUIRER OF laSL fTlQay
responding to an editorial in this paper, which
response we reproduce above, indulges In
characteristic abuse Of The Herald and Its
editor, but we expected as much. THE EN-
oUIRER is O mean, sneaking, treacherous
viper, with no principle but pelf and no am
bition higher than mammon, and we have
learned to know that nothing good can come
out of 1t. With unblushing effrontery and an
utter disregard for truth our courthouse syco.

unfortunate that the new county issue should

hypocrite! What monstrous misrepresen.
tatlon Western and central York must be
aroused by partisan appeals to defeat the
"conspirators" in eastern York, when 1t is
declared by The ENQUIRER that only "a few
make the capture" How ridiculous is this
proposition. 1t is apparent that If The En-
oUiRER believes what 1t says when 1t declares
that only "a few dozen selfish schemers" favor
the "proposition" to divide York county It
must know that there is no danger whatever
OF such division and that the partisan cam
paign which 1t Is inaugurating against Rock
Hill and the whole OF eastern York Is un-
warranted, unfair, and is intended only to
accomplish, If possible, a1en the deieat 6f certain
may be cooked and primed for fight with
eastern York, when we are peaceful and have
no expectation Of engaging In q scramble to
elect or defeat any candidate Who may come
ought to be enough to damn that paper
among the eastern York people.
THE ENoUIRER's sins against the manhood
of York county are already manifold and
and the Indignant people even tried to forget
the record it made when the marauder Merrill
was humiliating and prosecuting the men OF
this county with bestial ferosity, but Its dam
ing against Rock Hill and eastern York
because 80 few dozen selfish schemers, tnclud-
ing the editor Of The Herald" favor PROPOSE
ition to divide the county, as 1t alleges, Is
mean and detestable, and THE ENQUIRER
as 1t Is concerned.
We have raised no issue have no leglsla-
tive candidates in the field, as We have here
not in collusion with any legislative candi-
dates nor do we believe that anybody In
eastern York is, and 1t is despicable that o
partisan campaign should be invoked by that
unworthy sheet, being animated, as 1t Is, by
such contemplate motives.
We have intimatcd our belief that THE
YoRKyILLE ENQUIRER "printed its views as
an anonymous communication" because we
believe It capable and still believe 1t capable
of just such tricks Of deception, and because
we believe and still believe notwithstanding
THE ENoUIRER's disclaimer and so do many
other people, that the communication OF "Cen.
trail York" had its birthplace in the office OF
THE YoRKvILLE ENQUIRER. THE ENoUIR-
Err charges us with "unscrupulous misrepre-
scntation," when in order to score point,
1t misrepresents us grossly and that too with
our editorial staring it in the face. We furnish
the prOOf.
