NEXT MONDAY.

Next Monday is salcsday for March,
and as is usual OH this day, the prob
ability is that there will be big crowd
Of people i'll town.
So far as we are aware there are no
auction sales TO take place on next Mon
day; but then there arc other matters.
Pursuant to adjournment at the meet
ing on the first Monday in January, the
York County Cotton Growers association
will hold another meeting for the purpose
of hearing reports from the township or
ganizalions, learning what has been done,
and determining upon proper action un-
der the circumstances.
1t will be great day for the horse
dealers and traders. Already many farm
ers have procured such horses and mules
as they expect to need this spring; but
many others have been putting the matter
off, and will be possible customers next
Monday.
Then there is another thing. This is a
campaign year. In campaign years, it is
usual for candidates to begin circulating
about by the first Monday in March, and
the probability is that there will be few
in Yorkville next Monday.
A meeting of Camp Micah Jenkins
has been called to be held in the court
house OH Monday at - o'clock.
Taken altogether, the outlook is that
next salesday will he busy one in the
town.

The call of the Prohibitionists for a
to be held in Columbia on
the 14th of April is not without consider
able significance. People all over the
state were looking for the general assem-
bly,, at it recent session, to try to do some-
thing with regard to the liquor question.
Nothing was done, and now the Prohi-
bitionists, recognizing that they would
have things done right, they must do 1t
themselves, have called a convention.
Just what will be done at this convention
we have no information but it does not
take hard thinking, or much Of it, to see
that if the Prohibitionists choose, they
can make of their demands in the next
campaign a feature which cannot be ig-
nored. With four or five candidates be-
fore the primary, and each occupying
a vague and indefinite attitude toward
the liquor question, other considerations
will largely determine the outcome; but
with the Prohibitionists of the state pledg-
ed to support none but Prohibitionists,
then the issue will he made clearcut and
sharp. After all, it begins to look as ii
and the voter this summer will have some
thing else than personal popularity to
consider in choosing between the candi-
dates

AN important case, the decision on
which will affect the fertilizer inspec'
ton laws in all the cotton growing
states, was opened before the United
States supreme court last Thursday.
The case is from North Carolina and
was brought to test the validity of the
fertilizer tax. The plaintiffs in the
case claim that the tax, which is i'm
posed ostensibly for inspection purpo.
ses, really constitutes a revenue, and
that its imposition by the state in the
case of fertilizers shipped from one
state to another, is illegal. 1t is claim
ed that only the Federal government
has the right to levy such tax under
such circumstances. The question
seems to involve the same features
that were involved in Junge Simon
toms recent interstate commerce de-

Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1898-03-05

The ENQUIRER is in receipt OF copy
of the Florence Daily Times with PEN
Gil mark drawn around the following:
PROFESSOR PIERCE'S CLOCK.
1T IS AN ANTIoUATED AFFAIR AND WAS
MADE IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
In the days gone by clocks were manu-
featured in South Carolina. Professor l..
V. Pierce, who lives OH 1rby street, has
one of domestic make, which in general
appearance and make is quite curiosity.
The box is rosewood, the weights are cast
iron, and it has the ordinary spring gong.
All the cogs are wooden, and the gudg.
cons are of STEEL 1t winds with.a crank.
The inscription pasted in the back Of
the clock reads as follows: Patent
clocks made and sold at Waterbury,
York District, South Carolina, by T. h.
Suggs e. Co. Warranted if well used.
Printed by J. e. Grist, Yorkville, s. c."
The date is not given; but the clock is
undoubtedly very old and forms link
between the present progressive age and
the days of primitive manufacturing.
Perhaps THE YoRKvILLE ENQUIRER can
tell something Of the clocks OF Suggs
& Co.
Some 10 or 20 years from now, that old
clock and others like it, will, no doubt,
prove to the historian of the future that
clocks were once manufactured in York
county; but the fact can't be proven yet
that is, not until some of the older men
of the present generation pass away.
This clock in question may be perfectly
reliable as timepiece; but its claim that
it was manufactured" at Waterbury,
York district, is put up job, ard there
upon hangs little tale.
Away back in the latter thirties, South
Carolina believed great deal more in
protection than she does now. She did
not like much the idea of sending away
so much of her money to the northeast
for clocks and other useful articles, and
in order to foster the manufacture of such
things at home, she passed certain laws
that bespoke her as protectionist. one
of these laws provided that in the case OF
any homemade clock, citizens could ped
die as much as they pleased and not be
required to pay license; but no clock
manufactured in another state could be
sold here except upon the payment OF
license that was practically prohibitive.
There were ways Of evading laws in
those days just as there are now, and
George and Tom Suggs, established at
Waterbury, better known as
Armstrong; old millsite, five miles
northeast of Yorkville-a factory for the
''manufacture' Of clocks. But they did
not really manufacture anything. They
were actually only agents of manufac-
turers in Waterbury, Conn. The Connec-
ticut people shipped the clocks here
"knocked down." Suggs & Co. put them
together with the assistance Of Mr.. Hen
ry A. Hill, who came down from Water
bury for the purpose, then pasted in the
labels printed on paper that was brought
from North Carolina, and that is about all
there was of it, except the clocks were
peddled over the state at good prices, and
the peddlers did not have to pay any
license.
The date of the establishment of the
Waterbury factory, as nesr as can be ar
rived at just now, was not earlier than
1885 nor lat er than 1910.
