With power brought to evervone's
door by water or electricity the max
ing of few choice things-built
upon honor and with the makers
good repute dependent on them
out of wood or iron or fabrics of any
kind is very possible. The little old
town of Deerficld in Massachusetts
turns out old-fashioned blue and
white embroidery work which de-
lights all who see it and sells easily
and for good price.
The beginnings of several local,
village industries are already here.
Would not local organization, a
Guild or Il local Industry League, or
an Arts and Crafts Association, be
something worthy of considerations:
A "Japlnsss Tea"
The "Japanese Tea" given BY
Miss Pitkin's summer sketch class
at the Inn Thursday afternoon was
very largely attended and was Il very
pleasant and successful event in
every way. The decorations were
entirely in Japanese effects, which
were we'll planned and we'll carried
out. The east end of the piazza
was enclosed bv canvas. From the
ceiling were hung colored lanterns
and above the tea table was large
Japanese umbrella, the decorations
and the bright costume, of the little
pupils who waited on the guests
making the scene very picturesque
and attractive. Miss Pitkin, in Il
pretty Japanese costume. received
the guests. Miss Porter WAS ut the
tea table and Miss Fairbanks served
lemG made.
.hlSS l llhlll SNClSIlCS tll'i Nv
lures were hung in one corner of the
piazza and Miss Josephine Pitkln
displayed Il large number of sketches
in another. Between the two OK
hibits were shown the work of Miss
Pitkin's pupils, among whom are
many of her last wears class. Their
progress in drawing and coloring
has been very mlrkc |. their eNhib-
its of water colors, cravon, and pas
tells showing very effectively what Il
competent teacher can do with very
Young pupils.
OF individual work only a few
names can be mentioned. Miss Por-
ter showed two very clever pastcls,
one an orchard scene, the other Il
river view, both excellent in COM
position and coloring. The work
OF Miss Pitkin and Miss Iosaphin,
Pitkin is familiar here and their
interesting coll cction of wcll-exccut-
ed sketches was much appreciated.
Miss Pitkin gave much time to-
the preparation of the tea and the
Inn is to be congratulated upon hay
ing the opportunity to carry out this
charming entertainment.
The members OF Miss Pitkin's
class are Mrs. Clara {. King, Mrs.
F. T. Kidder, Misses Lou L. Por-

bis office for every seizure that is
made. He discountenances the policy
of sseizing everything in sight, which
was once in vogue. In fact, the dis
position of the legal department now
is not to impose on the public, and if
a legitimate case of bringing liquor
into the state for personal use is pre-
sented, it will be so regarded by the
legal department., and no little subter-
fuge will be resorted TO seize the liquor.
When the liquor is evidently for per-
sonal use, and the man ordering the
liquor is equally well-known as having
nothing to do with tigers, the consta-
bles will not be sustained in their ille-
gal seizures"
Mr.. Hutchison a Bankrupt.
Rock Hill Herald, Saturday: Cap
tain A. E. Hutchison, of our city, was
adjudged bankrupt on his own petit
ton, which was filed in the United
States district court in Charleston by
w. J. Cherry, Esq, on Monday last.
The order was signed that morning by
Judge Brawley. Captain Hutchison
is president of the Rock Hill Cotton
factory, which is now in the hands of a
receiver. His liabilities, amounting to
.S9O,S55 are on account of endorsements
for the factory, not a dollar of the
amount being his individual indebted
ness. His assets are placed at about
.S5S,OOO. It's expected, however, that
the amount will be materially increas-
ed by the sale of the factory property.
This misfortune falls hard upon Cap
tain Hutchinson, who, with large means,
has been one of the most liberal, most
unselfsh as we'll as one of the most
accommodating men that has ever
lived in this community. Since the
factory was organized in 1881 he has
been its president and has given it his
individual attention; but for several
years it has not been paying enter
prise. He has kept the wheels turning
by contributing of his private means
and by making such extended personal
endorsement of the mills obligations,
which the mill could not meet, that be
has been impelled to seek relief in
bankruptcy, a recourse very CALLING to
him but there appeared no other al
tentative. This community sympa-
thizes with Captain Hutchison in his
misfortune.

If You Wait

Until your wheat is ready to harvest
before placing your order, you will most
likely not be able to get Binder, as we
do not expect to carry very many in stock.
All orders should be placed by the first of

Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1899-04-12
LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP.

THE outlook is that several Binders
Il will be needed in York county this
year to harvest the wheat crop. We do
not know at this time who will buy; but
we are satisfied that somebody in almost
every section is considering the matter.
Several were sold last year; but not by
us. We made no special effort to sell for
the reason that we had never had any
practical experience with Binders and
could not, therefore, guarantee them un-
conditionally to be and do all that was
claimed for them. We had a machine
shipped to US, set it up, tested thoroughly
on rough ground, and, as we expected,
its work was perfect, and won for it the
praise and commentator of all who saw
it as the following endorsement of eye
witnesses will prove:
YoRKv1LLE, S. c., June 6, 1898.
During the past week we, the under
signed, have seen the Buckeye Frameless
Binder at work in the field, and for the
information Of all who have not seen it
will say that it is everything that its man
ufacturers claim for it. 1t will cut, bind
and save every head of wheat or oats with
which it comes in contact, whether the
stalks be long or short or stand thick or
thin on the ground. We will also add
that the ground on which the machine
was at work was rough and uneven. The
Binder is perfect, and all that is necessary
is that it be properly handled.

The San Francisco call., 1899-10-10

In discussing the declination at his res
tdence last night Mr.. Roster said:
II have declined the nomination with
which the Republican convention honored
me simply and solely because my private
business will not allow me to devote the
necessary time to the duties of the office
should l be elected to it. I have exten-
sfve ranch1ng interests near San Jose and
at other points in the southern part of
the State and l am obliged to visit them
constantly, often finding il necessary to
spend weeks at time in adjusting diff
culties that continually arise.
In fact, it was while / was away on
one of these triDs that my name was
placed on the ticket 1t was done with
out my knowledge and I am sorry that
circumstances are such that I must de-
cline a nomination which l consider
high honor and one not to be deSpised.
That IS all there is to my declination.
II understand that rumors were cur
rent on the street yesterday that I had
declined because I was not in accord wl,l
the principles of the Republican party or
some of its nominees. l wish 10 deny
this in emphatic terms. | am anxious
for the complete success of the Repubi-
can ticket as nominated and will work a $
hard in its behalf as my limited time will
permit. Horace Davis l regard as the
has the confidence and respect of this
community. He is worthiIy entitled to
the suffrages of all good citizens and I
am sure he will make a Mayor of whom
we can all feel proud. regard the tick
ct as being first-class in every Individual
particular and shall certainly give it my
undivided support
An effort will be made to-day by a COM
mittee TO induce Mr.. Roster 10 alter his
determination and it is expected that he
may yet do so. When asked last night
whether he would comply with a request
TO withdraw his declination Mr.. Roster
said:
while 1 would appreciate such a re-
quest as great honor. still I must reit-
crate my former statement. namely that
| am unable TO give the time which I
consider a public official should conscien
tiously devote TO the proper fulfillment Of
the duties for which he has been chosen.
If had he time l would gladly make an
active canvass for the Office
