Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1903-10-27
NOTE AND COMMENT.

Mr.. G. r. Turner remarked to the re-
porter yesterday that he did not re-
member Of the like before except once.
Some years ago hailstorm came
along in September and did much dam
| age to few scattering fields Of cotton;
but hailstorms in the fall are very rare.
Mr.. John L. ShurIey Of Old Point,
sent in his resignation as member Of
the county board Of control not long
ago and the county delegation in the
general assembly has recommended Mr..
Eugene L. Garrison as his successor.
The reporter has not been able to learn
whether Mr.. Garrison has yet received
his commission.
Although Gastonia has been prohi-
bition town for many years, under the
operation of the Watts law it Is more
so than ever. No whisky can be ship
ped into town except from without the
state, and the druggists are prohibit
ed from selling whisky except under
the most onerous restrictions. The
laws are enforced.
There was quite a heavy frost
throughout this section yesterday and
today it was considerably heavier. Ice
was also very common this morning.
It was remarked about the court
house this morning, after the drawing
Of the jury that the venire was ZIP to
York county's usual high standard. No
defendant who seeks justice need have
any fears about these men.
Mr.. L. r. Williams, proprietor Of the
York Implement company. is exhibiting
specimen Of the "stock beet" Of his
own raising that weighs 12a TBS. This
beet has been recommended principally
as stock feed, and while Mr.. Williams
has not had a great deal Of experience
with it, he is not inclined to think 1t Is
as valuable even for that purpose as
the regular sugar beet. The yield per
acre, however, is quite heavy.
The Enquirer has had number Of
complaints as to interference by unau-
thorized persons with rural free deliv-
cry boxes and there have been some
inquiries as to what should be done In
such cases. We can only recommend
that these complaints be committed to
writing with full particulars and that
the writing be mailed to the postmas-
ter at the office from which the route
is supplied. The balance Of the pro-
cedure will be looked after in q proper
manner.
The fifth state conference Of the
Daughters of the Revolution will meet
in the senate chamber at Columbia on
next Thursday. The indications point
to large attendance of delegates. OF
course the Kings Mountain chapter
will be represented. The meeting this
year will prove of more than usual in
terest for the reason that the matter
of the erection Of monument to the
heroes Of the American Revolution on
the Capitol grounds will be discussed.
The column for the monument has
been donated by the Daughters of the
Revolution and the legislature is to
erect the monument.
Foreman j. o. Walker, of the grand
jury, is being annoyed by numerous an
nonymous communications. They come
from various parts of the county, in
Guiding Yorkville. But 1 am not pay
ing much attention to them," said Mr..
Walker in speaking about the subject
a day or two ago. After I see what
they are they go into the fire." More
than once the presiding judges have
taken occasion to instruct grand juries
as to anonymous communications. AS
a general thing, 1t Is agreed the al
thors of such communications are 100
insignificant to be worthy Of consider
alton. They are lacking in character
and manhood, and the chances are that
in nine cases out Of ten. the informa-
