1T Is impossible to enumerate all
the kinds of facts desired; but 1t may

be appreciated that will throw light,
for example, upon the economic con-

san political feelings revived; upon

SHOULD BE IN EVERY HOME.

THE YORKVILLE ENQUIRER Is
l. distinctively York county paper,
edited and published for York county
readers. 1t is the aim Of the publish
ers that the paper shall I'LL a field that
Is filled by no other paper. The first
Importance Is attributed to a correct
presentation Of the local news Of York
county, giving especial attention to all
that Is Of interest in the social, relig-
ious educational, agricultural, CONNER
cial and industrial affairs Of this imme-
diate section. Next after York county,
follows the same interest in the AFFAIRS
of the counties Immediately surround
ing. After that, is published the more
important news Of the state, the nation
and the world, all in condensed. but
comprehensive form. The paper is is-
sued twice-a-week in order that its
readers may be kept In closer toucn
with everyday developments, and each
issue is intended to contain condensed
synopsis Of all the more important
events current since the preceding is-
sue. The publishers give especial at
tention to accuracy, comprehensibility
and promptness. and try to make pa
per that will enable busy people to keep
correctly informed on the important
events Of the day, without having to do
unnecessary reading. In addition to
close attention to the news, the literary
feature of THE ENQUIRER Is also I'M
portant. It aims to instruct, entertain
and inform. It seeks to present moth
ing except Of a wholesome, elevating
character, that will sustain the old and
inspire the young in the higher ideals
Of life and duty. In all Of the features
outlined, THE ENQUIRER excels all
other South Carolina newspapers, and
has but few rivals In the entire coun-
try. These results are the product OF
years Of experience and Of ceaseless
toll, as we'll as Of heavy expense, the
like Of which is not approached by any
other weekly or semi weekly newspaper
In the south. In printing only what
should be printed and leaving out what
should not be printed. 1t Is without
superior. and the highest ambition Of
the publishers is to continue to sustain
and upbuild the reputation the paper
enjoys In all its most praiseworthy fea-
lures.

PETRIFIED THE ENGLIsHMAN Too
Colonel Tom Ochiltree once upset Lord
Lonsdale when the latter was enter
tained in New York on his way home
from an expedition to Alaska" said q
man who saw the fun.
"At dinner given in his honor Lord
Lonsdale told many thrilling stories,
and an audible 'oh!' went around the
table when he finished telling Of pet
rified forest in Africa, In which he
found a number Of petrified lions and
elephants. AS the Englishman lapsed
into silence and the applause sank to
an echo all looked to Colonel Ochiltree
to defend his nationality and beat this
petrified lion story.
Texas, said the colonel after q
pause, has its petrifed forests; but, al
though they contain no petrified lions,
they are remarkable for having petri-
fed birds flying over them
'Nonsense!' said Lord Lonsdale.
That Is impossible. Such q phenome-
non is contrary to the laws Of gravita-
tion.'
".Ah, that's easy explained respon-
ded Colonel Ochiltree quickly. The
laws Of gravitation down there are pet
rified too"

1.-THE time has come when no man
need fear to speak out concerning the
methods by which the southern peo-
pie overthrew the reconstruction re-
gime, for the north no longer desires
to revive that regime, and many north

only that a radical policy Of congress
was in many respects blunder, but
that no high-spirited people would
have hesitated to resist it tooth and
