TO Visit the Schools.
State Superintendent of Educator
McMahan has written County Super
intendent Of Education Carroll, that he
will be in York county about next Tues
day to make a round of the public
schools.
Coming This Way.
General Manager L. T. Nichols, OF the
Carolina and Northwestern railroad
WAS in Yorkville a few days ago and
in reply to inquiries about the stand
ard gauging Of the road, said that the
work is we'll in progress from Lenolr
coming in this direction and 1t is eS-
pected to reach Gastonia by the hrs'
day of next August.
Farm Work Behind.
The farmers are already becoming
uneasy about the continued wet wealth
or. and although it is too early for any
bodv to be discouraged, some OF them
are beginning to remark that the sea-
son promises to be like that of last
wear. Some plowing has been done IN
different sections; but a comparatively
small amount. Fertilizer sales nave
commenced at a lively rate, and the
roads are pretty we'll filled with wag-
Gus hauling fertilizers from the ware
houses to the farms.
Must Buy Boxes.
( It is we'll that people who live along
rural free delivery routes, should un-
derstand that they must provide ap-
proved boxes If they expect to have
their mail delivered by carriers. There
is nothing to prevent, as we understand
the matter, two or three families from
clubbing together and having their mail
delivered in the same box; but the man
who expects to have his mail deliver
ed at his door without having box,
is going to be disappointed. The de-
partment does not allow anything OF
the kind.
Rev. Mr.. Hurt Accepts.
Rey.W. E. Hurt, of Virginia, who oc-
cupied the pulpit of the Yorkville and
Glover Baptist churches on Sunday,
March 2, has signi1ed his acceptance OF
an invitation extended him previous to
his visit to become pastor Of the York
vile, Union and Glover churches, and
states that he expects to arrive at
Yorkville on or about April with his
family. Mr.. Hurt is a native Of Vir-
ginia, having been born and reared
near Richmond. He is graduate OF
Richmond college, and the Southern
Paptist Theological Seminary at Louis
VILE, KY, and has had about ten years
successful experience as pastor, and
those who know him best are congrat-
ulating the churches here on their good
fortune in securing his services. He
and his family will probably occupy
the Cartwright residence on Kings
Mountain street.
Needed New Routes.
Mr.. John Miller is getting up petit
tion for the establishment of rural
free delivery route between the Char
lotte and Armstrong Ford roads, rum
ming as far as Glenn and Riddles store.
It is proposed that the route commence
at Yorkville. There Is room for anoth-
er route parallel with this one to take
in the country between the Armstrong
Ford road and the Carolina and North
Western railroad. 1t would be good
idea also if somebody would get up a
petition for a route from Glover to
Hero, out by way Of Bethany, and an
other route from Glover over in the di-
rection Of Bethel church would be
equally acceptable. There is good rea-
son to believe that all Of these routes
can be established If they are petition
ed for without unnecessary delay, and
if they are not petitioned for pretty
soon the probability is that it will = a
long time before there is another op-
portunity as good as that which now
exists.
The New York Market.
A New York dispatch of Thursday
afternoon reviewed the cotton market
fluctuations during the day as follows:
The cotton market opened steady with
near months 4 to points higher and
far months unchanged to points high
er this being a fair response to strong
Liverpool cables. May sold at $50 and
July at S.9S. But as against the BULL
ish cables were reports of strike talk
from Fall River soon. After the cal
the more timid holders sold for profit
as a matter of precaution, being helped
to this decision by slightly easier ca.
bles and large port receipts. All ad-
vices from the crop country, however
were very firm. Trading was firm al
morning with commission houses both
buyers and sellers taking profits ir
some instances and re-lnveSting in 9TH
ers. May eased back to S.S4 and July
to S.S9, but the market gave no sigr
of positive weakness. Europe and the
south were light buyers here all the
early session. Late in the morning the
market again became very nervous anC
under feveriSh commission selling May
went off to $50 and July to S.S6. While
there was a partial reaction at noon, l.
o'clock bids reflected net decline o
one to two points. Spot cotton steady
middling uplandS 9sc; middling gulf
9s cents.
