Refreshing Showers.
There have been good rains in diff
ferent parts of the county during the
past week, and although these have
not been at all general they have ad-
ded considerably to crop conditions.
At Work on the Highways.
Various county candidates have been
doing hard work during the past week
making house to house canvasses.
Judging from reports the, county is be-
ing work as with fine toothed comb.
The Way 1t Ought to Be.
So far as The ENQUIRER has infor-
nation, the York county campaign is
cleaner this year than in some past
wears. We have heard of but few vic
ious rumors about candidates.
They Did the Work.
There were about 60 people at Beer
sheba last Friday morning in answer
to the call for assistance in clearing Oft
the cemetery, etc. The cemetery and
church grounds were handsomely
cleared up.
Enroll Your Name.
Is your name on the club roll of
your precinct club? If it is not you
had better see that it is put there pref
ty soon, or you will not be allowed to
vote in the approaching primary elec;
ton. 1t is only necessary that you
call the attention of your precinct
secretary to the matter. He may have
enrolled your name already but if he
has not done so, he will attend to it at
once.
At Barnetts Mountain Tomorrow.
As has been previously announced,
officially and otherwise, the regular
county canvass opens tomorrow at
Barnett's Mountain in Bethel town
ship, with big picnic. The Bethel
people never fail to make this meeting
the occasion of a great gathering, and
they never fail to have an abundance
of good things to eat. If permitted to
make prediction, we will say that
if the first meeting of the campaign is
not the best, then the best will cer-
tainly be something for the communi-
ty in which it may be held to brag
about.
Watching the Cat.
A gentleman who attended the cam
paign meeting in Gaffney, recently
said that up to that time not one of
the legislative candidates had express
ed himself on the liquor question.
They waited until after they had heard
Senator Tillman's speech, and then all
struck out boldly for the dispensary.
Indeed they formed an iron bound
campaign trust on the question, not
leaving to the people the opportunity
of making an issue. 1t is this kind of
thing that will some day smash the pri-
mary system and force issues into the
general election.
The Carolina and North Western.
Manufacturers Record: The pro.
posed extension of the Carolina and
North Western railroad into Tennessee
is attracting much attention in the
towns which the line reaches. A COM
pilation of industries recently made
shows that on this road are 81 cotton
factories, five cotton oil mills and Ga
other industries, representing an in
vestment of nearly s6,OoO,OO0. From
these plants the company derives an
annual freight traffic of nearly $4,000
It is understood that one of the princl'
pal reasons for the extension into Ten
nessee is to reach coal mines with the
view of supplying fuel to the mills re-
