those privileges. The. clubs also serve
l. as a satisfactory place for the enter
tainment of visitors, and In many
ways prove useful to its members and
| TO the community in which 1t exists
Yorkville is sorely in need OF cluD
organization with suitable quarters
and there is good reason to beleve
that the people, who would be the n1e
of such an institution are ready Tor It's
coming. 1t seems necessary only tnat
somebody take the initiative.
The observance Of Memorial Day
Under the supervision Of the Winnie
Davis chapter Of the Daughters of the
Confederacy was participated IN py
the people Of the town generally ana
there were present also quite num-
br of old soldiers from the country
surrounding. The exercises or the DAY
were commenced In the court house at
4 o'clock and concluded at the ceme-
terry. The stores and places OF busl-
ness generally had been closed. Ihe
ladies had decorated the court house
auditorium with flowers, evergreens,
Confederate and National flags and
pictures of Confederate heroes. The
decorations were rather more extern
siye than usual and the assemblage OF
people was probably the largest that
has gathered at any previous similar
occasion. The K. M. M. A. cadets and
the Jasper Light Infantry gave appro-
pirate military presence. Mayor M. =.
willis presided and the K. M. M. A.
orchestra furnished some excellent
music. After prayer by Rev. W. G.
Neville. Rev. DR.. J. H. Thornwell de-
Iiyered a patriotic address that was
received with deep appreciation. Next
the mayor read the report of the La
dies Auxiliary to the Cemetery asso-
ciation, and Captain w. B. Moore gave
an itemiZed statement as to the imam
cial condition Of the Confederate mon
ument enterprise. This statement
showed available subscriptions to the
amount Of $3.50, and he gave the In
formation that very handsome mon
ument could be erected for about $9OO.
He was rather in favor OF proceeding
with the laying Of the foundation
without further unnecessary delay.
The names Of the soldier dead IN the
cemeteries was read by Major James
f.. Hart, substantially as they appear
in another column. The reading Of the
roll was followed by the reading Of the
"Bivouac Of the Dead" also by Major
Hart, and the exercises In the court
house were concluded with benedic-
ton by Rev. J. L. Stokes. An impress
sive feature of the exercises was the
singing of appropriate Confederate
songs, and the rendition Of the Bon
ME Blue Flag" was almost pathetic
ir. tenderness and feeling. After the
exercises in the court house the gath
ering formed in procession behind the
Jasper Light Infantry and the X. M.
M. A. cadets and marched to the cem-
etery. Every Confederate grave was
marked with an appropriate tribute
and the graves Of the other soldiers
were also remembered. After the
graves had all been remembered sa-
lutte Of four volleys was fired by the
military and taps was sounded.

For Good Roads Association.
The Commercial Club Of Rock Hill
has taken up the idea suggested by y.
F. H." in THE ENQUIRER some months
ago calling for county convention for
the purpose of taking such action as
will promise organized effort In behalf
of better roads. Mr.. Geo. H. Cowan,
Of Rock Hill, was in Yorkville Mon
day, circulating for signatures paper
looking to the naturalization OF the
idea. The people Of Yorkville have
seconded the proposition heartily and
we have reason to believe that the
country generally Is about ripe for
work of this kind on a grand scale.
Shad for Broad and catawba.
The following letter that Congress-
man Finley has just received from
George M. Bowers, United States fish
commissioner, will explain itself pleas
antly to the people living along Broad
and Catawba rivers: Referring to re-,
quest in letter Of April IL, in regard
to planting shad fry in waters Of South
Carolina, you are advised that in COM
rliance with request last week large
consignment of them were planted In
f, DAD river, between Blacksburg and
Gaffney, and in the Catawba river be-
tween Rock Hill and Fort Mill" Mr..
Finley has previously had black bass
and other fish planted in these
streams.
The Way to Build Roads.
There are some enterprising citizens
in the northern part of York town.
slip and the southern part of Bethel
township, who are not willing to wait
for the arousing Of the country until
they shall avail themselves Of the ad-
vantages Of good roads. 1t was these
same citizens who had much to do
with initiating the work that resulted
in the macadanlization OF the Char
lotte road. Sometime ago the opening
Of new road became necessary in or
der that considerable scope Of coun-
try might avail itself of the r. F. D.
advantages. Some heavy work was
necessary and the help Of the chain
gang was secured; but that was only
starter. The people of the neigh
borhood got out their teams and haul
ed rock sufficient to macadamize near
ly a quarter Of a mile Of road and
this summer they will macadamize
probably half mile more. Among
the people doing this work are Messrs.
John F.. and w. S. Gordon, ]. B.
Woods, It. ]. Nichols, John F. Will

as great or greater than hog

Compound than hog lard to
