Dor, and, as the result, the neighbor
was killed. Harris is a man Of wealth
and has a family. The trial came.
The defendant employed single law
yer and plead self-defense. The jury
brought in verdict of guilty of man
slaughter and Harris was sentenced to
the state penitentiary for period of
10 years. The case was appealed to
the supreme court, and Harris was re-
leased on $4,000 bond. While in a
St. Louis hotel few days ago, Harris
read in the daily papers that the su-
preme court had refused to give him a
new trial. He Immediately paid his
bill and walked out of the hotel. A
few minutes later, officers came to the
hotel IN search of him. They
hunted over the whole city, and as
they were about to give up the search,
they received a message from the pen
itentiary to the effect that Harris had
gone there and given himself up. 1t
is said that the man could have easily
made his bondsmen good and left the
country. He had determined, how
ever, that if the court should decide
that he was guilty, he would take his
punishment.

"THE PIONEER.n

Intendant Lowry, of Yorkville, has
handed THE ENQUIRER copy Of the
Yorkville Pioneer, the first newspaper
published in Yorkville. The copy re-
ferred to is number 30 of volume 2,
and is dated March s, 1925.
The Pioneer was established in York
Vile in October, 1924, by an Irishman
named Patrick Carey, and was the third
paper to make its appearance in the state
outside of Charleston. 1t lived under
the proprietorship and control of its
founder until the spring of 1929, when
it was consolidated with what was called
the Pinckney Whig, published by Cooke
& Foulkes.
The copy of the Pioneer before us is a
five column folio, containing very large
number of advertisements from Charles
ton and Columbia, and also few legal
and other notices by citizens Of the town
and county. Although there Is quite a
variety of reading matter in the paper, it
is a notable fact there is not line Of local
or county news, and the most interesting
q rticle perhaps is the detailed plans of the
Camden committee of arrangements for
the reception of General Lafayette in his
historic visit to this state.
What has become of the files Of the
old Pioneer, we have no positive infor-
nation. The senior publisher OF The
ENQUIRER remembers to have seen them
years ago in a bound volume; but they
have since disappeared. Previous to the
destruction of the old ENQUIRER office
by fire in 1890, we had quite a number of
copies of The Pioneer, which had been
collected from time to time; but this is
the first copy of the paper that we have
seen for several years. 1t was sent to In
tendent Lowry by DR.. Morgan Adams, of
Sardis, Miss.

Correspondence OF the Yorkville Enquirer.
BLAcKsBURa, February 5.-The mar
riage at Rock Hill, on Wednesday, the
Sd instant, of Miss Blanche May Of that
place, and Mr.. j. w. Duff, Of Blacks
burg, was an event in which our people
feel special interest. Miss May is we'll
known here as teacher in our graded
school, a position she filled well and
most acceptably, winning the love of her
pupils and the admiration and approval
of the patrons of the school. BY her
amiable disposition and pleasant man
ners, she also won the high esteem and
love of all our people, and will receive
warm welcome in our midst.
Mr.. Duff, the fortunate groom, has been
in business here for the past six years. He
is young man of enterprise, integrity and
good business judgment, and has merited
and won success in his work. He enjoys
the confidence and esteem Of all our citi-
zens, and is to be congratulated on secur-
ing and bringing such winsome prize

IT'S A STANDING OFFER.

Although the various members of THE
ENQUIRER staff have been asked the
name of the gentleman who is willing
to be one of ten to contribute $lOO a year
for five years, to be used in the macadami-
zation of the roads leading out of York
vile, there has been no noticeable rush on
the part of the other nine volunteers. In
deed, up to this hour, the gentleman re.
ferred to continues to stand alone.
Although there is not a shadow of 8
string tied to the published otfor, it is moi
especially liberal. Itjust shows high or

will the other nine. They will just b'

With the refusal of the house to extend
the boundaries of Broad River township
so as to take in the citizens of the 81
square miles in Cherokee township who
desire to remain in York, we fear that the
hopes of those citizens are very nearly at
an end. 1t is true that these people still
have a remedy in an election, and they
should not fail to try this remedy. But
the outlook is that they will still meet
with opposition. 1t will be remembered
that the constitution provides that no old
county shall he cut below 500 square
miles, and no new county shall be
formed with less than 400 square miles.
In refusing the request of these citizens
of Cherokee township, the legislature
has virtually said that it has no right to
hold the new county down to the con-
stitutional limit. When the people ask
for an election, we fear they will be met
with a pretext to the effect that this new
county has become an old county, and
not having 500 square miles of area, can
not be reduced. In spite Of all this,
however, we would advise the citizens of
the nine and one-half miles referred TO-,
not to relax their efforts to secure their
constitutional rights.

Grip Epidemic-Teaching Under Difficult
ties-Brought Home Wife-Other Notes.
Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
HooDTowN, February 3.-While scarce
ly family has escaped the ravages Of the
grip altogether, in this neighborhood sew
eral have had quite severe attacks OF the
trouble. Misses Irene Hood and Jennie
Mickle have had the worst cases; but both
are now better. Your correspondent and
his family, have not been exempt from
its mighty grasp, having had the usual
unpleasant group of symptoms, so much
resembling "break-bone fever"
Miss Sudie Shannon commenced teach
ing school here two weeks ago; but
owing to the prevalence of grip and the
very inclement weather, the attendance
has been rather small. It is hardly nee
essary for this scribe to say more Of Miss
Sudie. She is graduate Of Due West
Female college, and besides has had sew
eral years. experience in the schoolroom,
which bespeak for her full qualifications
for trai ming the youthful mind.
Mr.. T. NJ. Grant surprised his friends
very much by bringing home bride last
Thursday afternoon. He had gone down
into Chester county few days before, as
it was supposed, on visit to relatives;
but soon the news reached here that his
intentions, though not outwardly ex-
pressed, were of rather different char
acter. The bride was Miss Daisy Miller,
of the Lowrysville neigborhood. We
wish the happy couple much joy, and an
unclouded sky in their earthly pilgrim
age: or, leastwise, that the sunshine in
their lives may far exceed the shadow.
Some of last Wednesdays sleet and
snow still remains, and although less
t han an inch in depth, may, from pres
ent indications, lie until considerably
augmented by freer fall of crystalized
ETHEREAL vapors. VooE.

HARD ON THE HOGS.

"Good many hogs dying all about"
said Colonel McCorkle during a cold spell
recently, and when the reporter asked
what was the matter it will be remem-
bered that Colonel said that ''people were
knocking the animals in the head"
That was pretty good joke; but the
reporter is now informed as fact, that
during the recent cold spell quite num-
ber of hogs actually froze to death. Mr..
H. II. Beard, of Yorkville, lost one, Mr..
Louis Roth lost two, and no doubt others
have met with similar losses.
In the cases mentioned, it seems that
the hogs were chilled through by the cold
and so benumbed as to he unable to move.
They fingered for several days after the
freeze before they died.

making a first. class business investment
for themselves and for the town.
Take it this way: Say 10 men club
together and raise $1,000 to be spent on
the macadamization of any given road,
commencing without the incorporate
limits of the town. On that road, which,
ever one may be chosen, we venture that
there can be raised contributions in cash
and labor that will amount to at least
81 900 more. Every dollar that is spent
will be for articles 10 be obtained right
here at home, and, therefore, these dollars
will not have to be sent away. With
that road improved, the general trade of
that section will he developed, and these
contributors especially, and the people
of the town and surrounding country
generally, will get the benefit of it. Not
only this, as the first volunteer suggests,
with the good work once commenced, 1t
will no doubt 60 on indefinitely, and
while, of course, those who do not con-
tribute will get much benefit, those
who do the contributing will surely also
get enough to make them whole and
sound.
The proposition Of the gentleman at
first mentioned stands as originally made.
He is patti emily, but anxiously, waiting to
stand shoulder to shoulder with nine

contention" and the same is causing
quite lively controversy in this section.
Now in '.justice to all and special privi-
leges to none," let us take review of the
case. First, when Mr.. johnson was
county superintendent of education, (then
school commissioner he came into this
township, BROAD River) and after calling
q meeting Of the trustees of all the
schools, met and with satisfaction to all,
laid of the said township OF Broad River
into four school districts. He then made
the same proposition to the trustees OF
Bullock's Creek which was refused with
thanks. 1t will be remembered that the
money for school purposes is raised from,
three mill levy on taxable property in
said township, and all moneys so derived
are placed to the credit:of schools in that
township.
Anyone cognizant with the facts, knows
fully we'll that Broad River has great
deal more taxable property than Bull
locks Creek, and, therefore, has larger
school fund. We have good schools and
large att enhance, and more prosperous
schools than most townships can boast OF,
and now, in justice to all, and with all
due respect to our superintendent Of edu-'
cation, may / ask is it fafk just and
equitable to our citizens to takepf taxa
BILE property from this township and
place with Bullock's Greek? Echo an
swers, No! Mol! No!!! y
One Of the greatest needs of people in
the country, especially the young people
the boys and the girls-is something
"good' to read. Most of the people in
this section take some paper; but what
am now speaking Of is in the line Of
periodicals, such as Munsey, Scribner's
or Harper's magazine. Something that
will enlighten and give to the young ones
knowledge that cannot be gained IN
schools. Something from the best writer's
of the day. Take away from the youths
of our country these trashy, love-slck
novels, and supply their place with some
good, substantial work, and the children
will read them fondly-yes, lovingly.
This is what the country boys and girls
need. They are now away and shielded
from the evils of city life, then let them
be the equals OF their city brothers and
sisters in literary sense, and the farm
and home will no longer be place Of
bondage or refuge in the time OF storm
but a sweet sense OF love, refinement,
and culture will come forth that shall
and will tell on future generations.
Many in this section are suffering from
grip, but your correspondent has heard
of no serious cases.
"Flawpicker," the representative OF
the Gafney Ledger, Cherokee county,

Chaingang Expenses.
Upon inquiry of Supervisor Culp, it
develops that the total expenses of the
county chaingang is about 800 month.
This is with an average of say 20 convicts.
During the six months Immediately pre-
ceding January /, the total expenses of
the convict force was slightly less than
81, 200. At the present writing there are
only II convicts in the gang; but the
expenses, of course, is hardly reduced in
proportion to that number.

Citizens of Fort Mill township are NOV

township is said to be willing to do her
full share in regard to the matter, and the
balance of the county ought also to be
willing to help. The bridge has long ago
become necessity.

Yorkville Should Build q Good Road.
Gastonia Gazette Complaints are be-
ing made about the inadequacy Of the
public bridge over Crowder's creek,
coupled with the statement that the
county commissioners ought to erect a
better crossway there. One contention
is, that many people in the section be-
yond who want to do their trading and
milling when it's too wet to work, find
that they can't get to Gastonia if the
stream is swollen. The contention of
our merchants is, that because Of this
insufficient crossway these people turn
their trade to Yorkville.

state board of control met last night out
transacted but little business except to
audit the accounts for the past month
and transact other routine business. Rev.
Mr.. Grier, of Yorkville, appeared before
the boa rd and argued for the abolition
of the dispensary at Tirzah, in York

for the further reason that majority of
the people were opposed to it. The board
made no decision pending further inves-
tigation.

ferred to the judiciary committee, who
will not act upon it until they hear from
the citizens of Ebenezer, as they have
been informed that. the people Of that
township desire to offer objections to the
statute. The grounds for these
objections are that Ebenezer will be de-
prived of fproperty which contributes ma
terially to the support of her public
schools and toward paying the interest on
her railroad bonds.

The members of the Nevada legis-

place in that state; but they want to

of admission to the big prize fights
that have taken place heretofore, have
been anywhere from SIS to $50 ticket.
A bill now pending before the Nevada

the managers of prize fight to charge
more than 81 cash for tickets.
