To Keep Us Cool.
If the people of Yorkville are not
able to keep cool this summer, it will
not be the fault of Mr.. T. B. McClain.
He has knocked down the price of ice
from a cent pound to a half cent a
pound. This is virtually the price in
cities, and Yorkvile is now on as
favorable footing as any of her i'm
mediate neighbors.
Cleveland Springs.
The season at Cleveland Springs has
opened and is now we'll on. Messrs.
Lee & Miller are still in charge of that
popular resort, and the guests include
prominent people from all over the
state. Several Yorkville people have
been up to the springs this season and
they are delighted with the accommo-
dations and pleasant surroundings
generally.
No Difference of Opinion.
DR.. E. w. Pressly was in Yorkville
on Monday. The reporter failed to
see him. He told Mr.. Brice, however,
that both himself and DR.. Campbell
were of opinion that the eruptive case
at Glover is cbickenpox. DR.. Camp
bell had better opportunity to observe
the symptoms in the second case than
in the first, and now thinks that both
are very probably chickenpox. Most
of the doctors agree that in appear
ance the two maladies are almost iden-
tical, the most marked difference being
in the effect.
The First Grist.
Mr.. R. B. Riddle reports that the
first grist was received at the Cham
pion mills, at Zeno, in this county, on
the 9th instant, it having been brought
by Taylor Stanton. The next was
brought on the 10th by Mr.. Thomas
Hoover, of Mecklenburg, and later, on
the same day, Mr.. w. Coltharp brought
load from Fort Mill. Mr.. Riddle
suggests that in order to assure the
best results, wheat should be summed
for two or three days and then be al
lowed to stand in sacks three or four
days more before grinding.
Letters For Soldiers.
Writing to his paper, The News and
Courier, from Chickamauga, August
Kohn says there is great deal of con-
fusion in the mail matter intended for
soldiers on account of improper ad-
dresses. A letter intended for
member of the Catawba Rifles, for
instance, should be addressed as
follows: John Johnson; Company G,
1st South Carolina Volunteer-Infan-
try, Chickamauga Park, Lytle P. o.,
Ca. 1t is imperative to show that the
party addressed belongs to the South
Carolina volunteer troops, and South
Carolina should be written out in full.
Marriage Today.
Mr.. J. F. McElwee and Miss Florie
Allison, are to be married this We'd
nesday morning at 10 o'clock. The
ceremony will be performed by Rev.
w. G.. Neville. Both the contracting
parties are Yorkville people. The
groom .to.be is a son of Mr.. S. A. Nc
Elwee, a graduate of the Citadel acad-
emy, and is engaged in the cotton bus
mess. The bride is the second daugh-
ter of DR.. and Mrs. ]. B. Allison.
For several years past she has been
teacher in the Yorkville graded school,
where she has been doing most excel
lent work. In their new relation the
young people will have the best wishes
of host of friends.
The Rise of Prices.
There has not been much of rise
in prices in Yorkville yet on account
of the war. The reporter had talk,
few days ago, with Mr.. ]. H. Riddle,
one of Yorkville's largest supply deal
ers, about that statement reproduced
in the last issue of The ENQUIRER
from the Columbia Register. Mr..
Riddle said that while The Registers
statement was substantially correct,
the advance referred to has not been
due so much to the war as TO specula-
ton. Although -four, for instance, had
advanced something like 80 barrel
over the lowest point of this year, it
is now only about so cents higher than
the lowest point since January. AS a
matter of fact, Notwithstanding the
speculative advance, he had not ad-
vanced retail prices at all. He had on
hand big supply at the time of the
rise, was satisfied that the advance
would not be permanent, and for that
reason continued to sell as he had
been selling. With few unimpor-
tant exceptions, the same rule applies
to all other staples, and instead of
going upward some are really tending
downward
