Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1899-02-11

have of late come to our notice In con-
nection with the speedy erection OF
Linotype machines. All go to show
conclusively that, though this machine
is so accurate in its adjustment and
product so mechanically perfect is ex-
p 'c:ed from it, it can be shipped any
distance, mostly set up, and upon
reaching its destination can he put in
perfect running order and started at
work within very few hours. A case
that illustrates these facts is just re-
ported to us from the Office of the
Amsterdam IN. w. Sentinel. Pub
Usher Loadwick employed A. N. Grist,
q proficient machinist-operator, recent
ly from Charleston, s. c., to come from
New York and take charge of the
Linotype. Mr.. Grist arrived in Am
sterdam on Monday, placed his ma
chine the next day, began operation at
once, and in his first six nights got up
string of 266, 900 ems, minion.".
Almost Wood Famine.
There is pretty nearly a wood fam
inc in Yorkville. Of course, there
are lots of people who have on hand
an ample supply; but there are many
others who are not so fortunate. 1t is
principally on account of the terrible
condition of the roads. To haul a
full load over the muddy roads is next
to impossible, and but few woodhaul-
ers seem to care to undertake the task.
Messrs. Glenn & Allison are among
the most reliable people in the wood
business. They have been keepinga
number of teams running almost reg
ularly, especially for the benefit of their
regular customers; but the work is 80
severe on stock that even these gen.
tlemen are not trying to push wood on
anybody. As yet there has been no
general increase in the price of cord
wood but unless there is a change in
weather conditions or the roads, this
seems to be Just ahead.
Around the World.
In answer to numerous personal In
auiries that have been received during
the past few months, we are pleased
to saw that we have at last heard from
T. Allen McQuary, the young man
who passed through here last Decem.
Der year ago OIL his way around the
world for $1,000 and an Arkansas
girl. The information comes from
Mr.. M. s. Glenn, of Mountain Grove,
Mo-, in a proposition to advertise
book telling of young McQuary's trip.
We have not seen fit to publish the
advertisement for the reason that there
is about the proposition some things
that are rot exactly in accordance with
our methods of doing business but in
order to make sure that everything is
straight, we have sent the required
price for copy of the book. Within
10 or Is days we will be in a position
to advise those who may be interested
of the result of our precaution.
A High Recommendation.
Whatever else may be said of the
esteemed editor of the Gaffney Led
ger, he is not at all diffident. In the
last issue of his paper he gets himself
up certificate of character, and 1t is
good one because he is in position
to guarantee it. The certificate
might have sounded better as coming
from his neighbors; but it is far better
that it come from himself than not at
all. Here il is in full eyes, we may
be initiating Mr.. Gonzales; but then
that would be quite natural. We
worked for him three years and re-
ceived some of our earliest lessons
from him. We were always impressed
with his candor, his honesty of pur-
pose and his truthfulness. People who
do not know him cannot appreciate
these qualities in the man. We are
thankful that we worked for him and
appreciate the fact that he helped to
develop the principles of honor in
stilled by foster parent and also that
he taught US to hate deceit, hypocrisy
and lying"
