Hard ON the Market Business.
On almost any street of Yorkvllle
these mornings, at from 6 to Z o'clock /,
one can smell all along fresh pork
cooking. During this season the busi-
ness of the meat markets is confined
principally to the sale of "dinner'
meats, and even the sales of these do
not amount to great deal.
No Paper Next Wednesday.
After next Saturdays issue of The
ENQUIRER, the workers on the paper
will take few days of rest and holiday
endowment. The issue of the follow
ing Wednesday will be omitted and
there will not he another issue until
December 81. Subscribers and adver-
tisers will please take notice accord
ingly.
Sowed Lots of Wheat.
Information from the Saptuc section
of Catawba township is to the effect
that the farmers over there have sowed
all the wheat they intended to sow,
and that is great deal more than they
have ever sowed before. Several crop
pers have sowed from six to ten acres
to the plow. Much wheat has been
sowed in different sections of the
county; but in a great many cases the
farmers have not yet been able to get
in as much as they wanted to sow, on
account of the unfavorable weather.
Work at the Factory.
There is good deal of work going
on out at the York Cotton mills just
now. The foundation trenches for the
big addition to the main building were
completed last Saturday, with the ex-
ception of one corner, which runs
across the sidetrack of the railroad.
There are good many thousand brick
on the ground, and also all other ma
terial that is required for immediate
use. Two other sections are being
added to the already large brick ware
house, constructed some months ago,
and, taken altogether, things in the
vicinity of the mill look quite business
like.
Pension For Mrs. Alston.
Columbia Record: The Washington
correspondent of The News and Cour-
ier states that Senator Tillman, after
introducing a petition from citizens
of Cheraw requesting an appropriation
to remove obstructions from the Pee
Dee river, also introduced bill to give
Mrs. Belle McCaw Alston pension of
$50 per month. Colonel Aston was
one of the victims of the Jacksonville
camp, and died of malarisl jaundice
contracted in camp. He was college
chum of Senator Tillman and the lat
ter is anxious to help his widow. The
correspondent evidently made mis-
take as to Colonel Alston being chum
of Senator Tillman. He was in col
lege, however, with Senator McLaurin.
They Don't Pull Fodder.
Mr.. John Mcmillan, of Cedarville,
Ohio, who wrote the interesting
article on sheep raising, published in
The ENQUIRER some time ago, has
written another article in which he
tells how the Ohio farmers raise corn.
The Ohio method, however, seems to
be so similar to the South Carolina
method as to make the publication of
the article undesirable. One interest
ing point might be mentioned. Mr..
Mcmillan calls attention to the fact
that instead of pulling fodder, as most
South Carolina farmers do, the Ohio
farmers cut their corn and shock it in
the fields in accordance with the plan
upon which some of our more pro-
gressive local farmers have recently
embarked.
Wires on the Streets.
Mr.. w. B. Moore is contemplating
extensive improvements and changes
in the Bedford Telephone system, espe-
cially in Yorkville. At it's inception,
the building of the system was COM
menced as a kind of temporary
experiment but month after month
it has grown in extent and Importance
until now it is recognized as valua-
BILE necessity with which there are u
large number of people who could not
readily dispense. But just now Mr..
Moore is confronted with quite prob
lem. The temporary posts located in
back lots have begun to give way, and
there is arising the necessity of renew
ing the whole system at a prospective
outlay but little short of the original
cost. And while he is about it, Mr..
Moore thinks of putting his wires along
the streets, as in the case with other
towns, except here he has the obstruc-
ton of numerous shade trees, which
will add greatly to the cost of insula-
ton, etc.
