Broke Into Box Car.
A box car at the Carolina and North

Thursday night. The parties took out
some boxes of dynamite, lot of starch
and quantity of lard in three pound

. with the tops of the lard cans, were found
in field near by. 1t is likely that other

been made.
Heavy Liquor Seizure.

tective Newbold seized twenty one-gallon
: jugs of contraband whisky on the south

Some of the packages were directed to

marked "for personal use." The whisky
was found in charge of one man in the
second,class coach. 1t was taken to
Chester and stored in the baggage room
at that place.
Still Being Talked About.
Magistrate Alexander, of Glover, was
in Yorkville on Monday on business. He
. told the reporter that the people are still
talking about the mysterious animal re-
Gently mentioned by Mr.. S. j. Clinton as
prowling in the neighborhood Of Bowl
ing Green. He has no idea as to the ma
ture Of the animal but thinks possibly il
is q big woody dog which has left its mas
ter and taken to the woods. There is
. still strong desire to hunt the creature,
whatever it is, to the death, and it is like
ly that when people get through with
their work, such an attempt will be made
A Valuable Member.
There has been expressed in different
quarters, great deal of regret over the
resignation Of Mr.. Pegram from the town
council. Though without experience in
municipal government, all who know
-. Mr.. Pegram appreciate him as honest
and sincere. Many, including number
of wheelmen, endorse his position fully
and, under the circumstances do moi
blame him for throwing up his office ; but
still they feel that it would have been
greatly to the interest of the town had he
held out to the end of his term.
Thinks McLaurin Is the Man.
Spartanburg Herald, Thursday: Hon
D. E. Finley, of York, and Mr.. c. L.
Winkler, of Kershaw, members of the
state Democratic executive committee
were in the city yesterday. Mr.. Finley
went on to Yorkville, while Mr.. Winklel
went down to Glenn's. Mr.. Finley stated
that in Columbia, while mingling with
the committeeman generally, it seems
that McLaurin is the most formidable
candidate for the senatorship. He also
stated that Mr.. S. &. Mayfield, of Barn
we'll county, is an announced candidate
for the position.
AS Others See Us.
Gastonia Gazette: Yorkville is in the
throes Of big war between the bicycle
folks and the town council. The latter
shut the wheelmen off the sidewalks, but
gave some ladies the right to ride them.
THE ENQUIRER has over a column OF
editorial matter upon the situation.
These Yorkville fussers make body
tired. The council should shut every
rider off the sidewalks and enforce the
law alike against all. That would end the
trouble. In Gastonia, at the start, the
cops pulled several ladies. Later, two
pastors and one pastors wife were fined
on charges Of riding on the sidewalk. 4
policeman who swears he'll do his duty
ought to do it and be sustained in his eff.
forts.
