We dislike to think that Atchison is

hearty as a man Of half his age up

earliest incidents in his life. His fun
eral took place this morning from the
Church of the Assumption. The inter-

Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1899-12-13

Quite a significant feature of coun-
try journalism in this section during
the past five years has been the tenden-
cy to semi.weekly instead of weekly is
sues. According to the best of our recol-
lection, when THE ENQUIRER changed
from a weekly to semi-weekly in
1895, the Rock Hill Herald was the
only other semi-weekly in this part of
the country. Now there are two semi.
weekles at Lancaster, one at Chester,
one at Gaffney City, one at Kings
Mountain, N. c., and one at Gastonia,
n. c. In fact every Immediately sur
rounding town which then had u news.
paper at all, now has at least one that
is published as often as twice-a.week.
The change of THE ENQUIRER from a
weekly to a semi weekly met with so
much disfavor at first that it was nec-
essary to resume the publication of the
weekly until the advantage Of the
semi-weekly could be demonstrated.
Now that this advantage has been so
clearly established, and our subscribers
so fully realize the benefit of keeping
in close touch with affairs, and the
increased amount of news matter they
are getting in comparison with the
former once-a-week issue, we do not
think there is any longer more than
one opinion on the subject. The pop
ularity of the semi-weekly, however,
in new ventures in surrounding towns
certainly relieves the situation of its
former lonesomeness, as well as adds
encouragement for further excellence.

ENFORCING THE LAW.

Chickens will always come home to
roost is an old, expressive and true
proverb that strikes US with especial
force when we consider the recent
bloody tragedy which occurred in
Greenville.
There has been much violence and
bloodshed in connection with the dis
pensary law from the beginning up
until now, and probably no other one
bone of contention has done more to
bring law and order into contempt in
South Carolina. But we are not yet
convinced that the trouble has been
due so much to the law as it has been
to the high personal and political feel
ing of which this law has been the
centre.
No one who will calmly and dispas-
sionately review the enforcement of
the dispensary law from its original
enactment down to the present time,
will fail to take account of the extreme
violence with which the law was re-
sisted from the first, not only by those
directly engaged in the sale of liquor !;
but by leading newspapers, prominent
citizens, and others whose sacred duty
it is to obey any law of the state, how
ever obnoxious. Much concern has
the state had on account of outbreaks
of mob law but all incidents of this
kind put together have not done near
ly so much to undermine that abso-
lutely necessary healthy respect for
law and order as has the persistent
teachings of newspapers and individu-
ais against the observance of the dis
pensary law.
We are willing to admit that much
of the bloodshed that has been occa-
stoned on account of the dispensary
law has been due to the ignorant
viciousness of badly instructed desper-
ado constables. They have more than
once taken life where quiet. intelligent,
gentlemanly officers would have effect
ed a peaceable arrest; but still it is
doubtful as to whether even any of
these would have ever found it neces-
sary to kill any body had it not been
for the violent anarchistic sentiment
that had been cultivated against the
law by the influences mentioned.
There is nothing TO be said against
the character of either of the consta

- Having already accomplished q
great work in securing the improve
ment of the star route system, so as to
provide for free delivery of mail be
tween country postoffices, DR.. ]. Will
liam Stokes is now giving his attention
to the establishment of a postal saw
ings bank system. This is matter oi
which the masses of the people in this
country know very little; but which
as they come to understand it better
they are likely to endorse. Postal
savings banks have been operated by
several foreign governments with great
success for many years past. They es
pecially encourage the saving habit
among small wage earners, by accept
ing the most Insignificant deposit and
paying a fair rate of interest on the
same. Several efforts have already
been made to add a savings depart
ment to the postal system, and eact
effort has given additional hope of ul
innate success. There has been, anC
there is still, much organized opposi
ton to the idea; but so far the pro
position has not been pressed with any
thing like the energy DR.. Stokes dis
played in his fight for free delivery
If the doctor devotes himself to the
cause of postal savings banks as earn
estly as he has devoted himself to the
cause of free delivery, we believe hi
will win, and in winning be will a
least double the benefit he has already
conferred on the people of South Car
olina, and also, it is not too much tt
say, the country districts of the entire
United States.
