Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1900-05-19

Grocery, have arranged to deliver ice
in quantities of from one pound up, at
IS cents hundred pounds, the custo-
mers, of course, being expected to buy
tickets. Prices are much higher than
this even in New York city.
The Lowrysville baseball team, con-
sisting of nine unusually fine looking
young men, came up yesterday MORN
ing to give the Yorkville team a round
during the afternoon: Preparations
were being made for the game as The
ENQUIRER went to press, and to say
that the Yorkville boys were rather un-
easy about the result, is not putting the
case any stronger than was warranted
by such talk as the reporter could
hear.
Replies so far received to the invi-
tations sent out, indicate that the at
tendance of the surviving members of
the original Jasper Light Infantry, on
the special services to be held in the
Presbyterian church tomorrow, (Sun-
day. morning, will be quite general.
1t is understood, of course, that the
public generally has an invitation to
participate on the occasion, and that
the congregation will be treated to
most interesting sermon goes without
saying.
Mr.. w. E. Neely died at the home
of his brother-in. law, Mr.. Hoag, out
at the York Cotton mills, on Thurs
day, and was buried at Allison Creek
yesterday. He was So years of age.
He had been in bad health for several
years, and was great sufferer from
rheumatism. His death was due to
complications following an attack of
grip. He was unmarried but leaves
an aged mother to mourn his death.
THE ENQUIRER has called attention
to the fact more than once before but
nevertheless it remains curious fact
that wagon team freight rates between
Charlotte and Yorkville, distance
of thirty miles, is lower than the rail-
road freight rates. The freight ON a
grain drill fir ON Charlotte to Yorkyille
by rail, for instance, is $4.00. Messrs.
Glenn & Allison made contract a
few days ago with the York Imple-
ment company to deliver four such
drills in Yorkville from Charlotte for
81, saving of So on railroad prices.
1t would seen from this that the USE
fulhess of the mule team as common
carrier has not yet departed. H.
Mr.. M. L. Carroll has entered into
co. partnership with Mr.. J. H. Riddle,
and hereafter the business will be con-
Quoted under the firm name of Riddle
& Carroll. Mr.. Carroll, who has just
returned from Baltimore, assumed en-
tire charge on yesterday, and from now
on is in position to look after the in
terests of the numerous friends of the
firm. Mr.. w. M. Propst, who has had
temporary charge of the books of the
firm, has retired to give his entire at
tention to the insurance business; but
Mr.. "Tod" Lowry remains as head
clerk. MIR, Carroll has bad consider
able experience in the mercantile bus
mess and his many friends are glad
TO welcom me him back as = permanent
citizen of Yorkville.
The advertising man>with his auto
mobile departed early Thursday morn
ing for Charlotte. During Wednesday
afternoon he treated several citizens to
the experience of ride on the novel
machine. In answer to questions
about the speed of the automobile he
said that the first limit was the nerve
of the man at the lever. He was sat-
isfed that he could travel at the rate
of from 80 to 35 miles an hour; but he
was not willing to risk anything of the
kind on unfamiliar roads. He did not
appear, however, to be much of an
enthusiast on the subject of the horse
less carriage. He has had several
breakdowns in out of the way places
and been subjected to considerable
hardships on account of them. For
ordinary travel through the country,
therefore, he thinks a pair of good
horses are preferable. The soap COM
pany that sought this means of adver.
tising will no doubt realize good re.
turns from its investment.
