Mr.. H. NJ Abernathy. who formerly
held an important position at the York
Cotton mills; but who left to take a
still more responsible position in the
mills at Mt. Holly, N. c., is visiting In
Yorkville this week, and he brings
high testimonial as to the efficiency OF
the Yorkville Graded school like this:
"Mr. Hail. principal Of the Mt. Holly
school, told me that when my children
went under his charge, he found them
more thoroughly prepared, as far as
they had gone, than any Of his other
pupils, and that he had found 1t the
same with several other children who
had come to him from the Yorkville
Graded schools. He evidently has a
high opinion of the thoroughness and
efficiency which seems to prevail In the
school here"
Colonel w. H. McCorkle has not been
along with the county canvassers this
year. He would, of course, have been
glad to go around and meet his numer-
Gus friends; but did not feel equal to
the effort. Everybody understands
very we'll that the fact that he has no
opposition had nothing to do with his
failure to make the canvass. The peo-
pie did not expect him to ride over the
county in a buggy. But he has not
been forgotten. Several candidates
were telling Of their experience in the
court house yard Thursday night, and
one Of them told how at one Of the
meetings when the coloners name was
mentioned from the stand, there were
"Hurrahs for McCorkle." This consti-
tuted most Of the applause that has
been heard during the present cam
paign.
