. WITHIN THE TOWN.

Mr.. Robert B. Lowry has been
chosen an alderman of. the town of
Yorkville, vice Mr.. Thos. C. Dunlap,
deceased.
The growing volume Of Yorkville's
trade as compared with last season Is
becoming a subject of considerable
satisfaction.
1T cannot be said that the new
schedule on the Southern railroad has
met with the complete approval of the
Yorkville people. On the contrary
there is about as much kicking as
when the superseded schedule went in
to effect. There is no special objection
so far as the new mail arrangement is
concerned. The trouble seems to be
mostly about getting in and out Of the
town, and especially about the inabil-
ty of people from either east or west
to do their shopping and get back
home the same day.
Bum" is an indifnable slang phrase
that is used in variety of senses, but
nowhere with more propriety than
when applied to a show that falls be-
low Yorkville's rather easy theatrical
standard. There have been numerous
bum" shows in this place in times
past, along with some very good ones;
but the bumest of them all was the
called Bijcd company, which UNDER
took to play two night here last week
Friday and Saturday. The company
did not have great deal Of advertis-
ing paper, and it had very little else
that was especially prepossessing; ex-
cept a tiattering notice Of an alleged
entertainment in Asheville, alleged to
have been published in an Asheville
paper. A fairly good audience, made
up Of the regular show crowd that
takes in everything, and a number Of
people who were attracted by the

seeming promise held. out by the al
legged notice from the Asheville paper,
collected. There were a number of
ladies in the audience, some with es-
corts and some without. "The Con-
vict's Daughter" was the advertised
bill; but just before the show COM
menced some left over programmes
giving a synopsis of play called
Dads Grip was distributed among
the audience. There was no objection
made to this. The audience merely
sat quietly and respectfully. not yet
having realized the extent Of the fake.
But the first act disclosed a misera-
BILE lot Of transformers in what may
or may not be miserable excuse for
play. The actors did not even know
the words of their parts or give evil
dence that they had ever been on the
stage before. Then came a special
ty in the shape Of song that
was as rough and coarse in sem
timent as in rendition. The Ia
dies, one after another picked up
their wraps and walked out of the
hall, and within few minutes the
audience was composed Of men only
The stage manager undertook to make
some kind Of an explanation about new
er having had a previous experience OF
the kind, and the audience guyed him
little but otherwise. remained very
well-behaved. They sat the thing out
to the end, finding enjoyment In the
very GUINNESS of the show. The doors
were opened again on Saturday night;
but the audience was conspicuous
principally for it's absence. The pro-
ceeds Of the two nights were not near
ly sufficient to pay the company's
board bill, and this was jumped. The
company's stuff was attached in Rock
Hill on Monday. .

NOTE AND COMMENT.

The second week jurymen are gen.
work. Most of them are farmers and
all are behind with their planting
operation. ...'..
Although there is still difference
Of opinion as to the outlook for the
wheat crop, the situation Is anything
but encouraging. Some Of the far
mers are talking of plowing up their
wheat and putting the land in cotton
or some other crop. Mr.. w. M. Faulk-
ner, of Kings Creek, who Is In York.
Vile doing jury service, said yester-
day that some of his wheat is showing
signs of improvement, and some Of 1t
Is about dead. He finds that the wheat
on light sandy lands Is suffering most.
The new schedule on the Southern
railroad breaks up the arrangement
whereby THE ENQUIRER has reached
the various postoffices on the Southern
railroad west Of YorkNille on publi-
cation days. That is, unless arrange
ments can be made to have the pa
pers delivered from the freight trains
on Tuesday and Friday afternoons.
Application has been made to the prop
er authority looking to the perfection
of this arrangement, and it Is hoped
that there will be no special trouble
about the mater.
In his charge to the jury in the NC
Craven case last week, Judge Dantzler
furnished some food for thought on
the subject Of so-called higher law"
He said: $50 far as yBu are concern
ed the highest law there is anywhere,
written or unwritten, is the law Of
South Carolina, and that Is the law
you are here to vindicate. You have
nothing to do with the question as to
what anybody else might have done in
these circumstances or what you might
have done yourself; but the question
for you to decide is, what should this
man have done under the law-what
was it right for him to- do?" Both the
judge and the solicitor seem to be
agreed in the determination to repeal
the higher law" in SO far as 1t ap-
plies to the crime Of murder.

them up in influence professionally and
politically. The failure Of the state
hood bill to become law, 1t seems, was
quite satisfactory to the church au-
thorities. They now have time to
make their plans and get them in oper-
alton before it will be necessary to
choose United States senators and a
representative to the house from eth
er Of the proposed new states. One
of the first moves along this line was
to invite a promising young lawyer
of Salt Lake named Crosby to go to
Arizona and set up in practice there.
He was openly asked by President
Udall, in the Salt Lake conference, to
make himself a citizen Of the new
state because there were 5000 Nor
mons there, and they needed lawyers
and political leaders Of their own
faith. Mr.. Crosby, it is announced,
will begin as the prosecuting at
torney of one Of the Mormon coun-
ties in Arizona. 1t Is expected that a
number Of other young Mormon law
yers will follow his example and re-
spond to similar invitations.

THE Pennsylvania legislature has
passed bill which virtually prohibits
newspaper criticism Of public officials.
There is probability that the govern
or will veto the bill. It will be good
thing for the people, however, If he Will
allow it to become a law. Political
morality is at a lower ebb in Pennsyl-
vania than in any other state IN the
union. The politicians have a finer
grasp upon the throat Of the people.
But in Pennsylvania as elsewhere, the
people are supreme, and when they
once realize the motive Of lawmakers,
who would seek to make hostile criti-
cism Of themselves a crime, the day OF
states. redemption will be in sight.

OUR NEW SCHOOL BUILDING.

The Yorkville Graded school was on
last Monday duly established in the
handsome new school building, which
has just been completed by the town
at a cost of $4,000. The occasion was
celebrated by an enthusiastic out
pouring Of the friends and patrons OF
the school and brief but appropriate
exercises.
Although the appointed hour was
$3.50 o'clock in the morning, as many
as 500 people answered the invitation
of the trustees to be present at the
housewarming ceremony. They gath
cred from oil quarters Of the town, and
significant to relate, the audience was
not made up entirely Of women and
children. It included quite large pro-
portion of the representative business
and professional men Of the communi-
ty, q fact that may be taken to attest
a deeper and closer interest In school
affairs than has been noted in the
town for quite awhile.
The first interest Of the arriving vis-
itors was in the newly completed brick
building, which looms up in imposing
proportions, go feet wide by 80 feet
long and two and a half stories high.
The street front entrance gives pleas
ing architectural effect, while massive
columns that support grand portico
on the west side plainly mark the main
entrance. From this portico visitors
pass into a long wide hallway, and
opening into this hallway are four
large classrooms, Office Of the superin-
tendenant and four cloak rooms. In the
half story down stairs, there are fur
naces, waterclosets and coal rooms.
Up stairs in the top story there Is a
spacious auditorium, two large class
rooms, one small classroom and cloak
room. The auditorium Is handsomely
furnished with improved seats, and the
class room with first-class school fur
niture. Electric light globes appear
wherever light may be needed, hand
some and appropriate framed pictures
decorate the walls and the whole build
ing, outside and in, presents a COM
plete and finished appearance.
A critical inspection Of the building
and it's appointments, having been
completed, the visitors naturally drift
ed into the main auditorium, to take
part in the special exercises to which
they had been invited. On the rostrum
there had been assembled the pastors
of the various churches, Judge Dantz-
ler, the especially invited speaker, Su-
perintendent of Education Carroll, the
members Of the board Of trustees, Mes
srs. J. ]. Keller and ]. R. Logan, Of the
contracting builders, and a few 9TH
ers.
The arrival Of the school children,
who had marched down from the old
building, and the K. M. M. A. cadets,
who had been especially invited to
participate, was the signal for the
opening Of the exercises. Mr.. w.

A Little Uneasy.

The car Of Sexton merchandise obc
delivered at this point, arrived on
and the agents gathered In
to make the delivery.
When the car was opened and the
work Of delivering was begun, II was
learned that a quantity Of blackberry
brandy had also been ordered from
these agents and had come along for
distribution among those who had or
dercd it with their groceries, thereby
demonstrating the fact that some east
ern supply houses handle merchandise
other than groceries, some Of II being
.sbo0ze. y
When It was learned that brandy
was being delivered, a successful effort
was made to stop it.. Some Of 1t had
been delivered but the remainder was
placed in the depot to be shipped back
to Chicago. So much excitement was
created and intense interest aroused,
that Sheriff Flynn and States Attorney
Tufte were notified and came up from
Cooperstown to investigate. They dis
covered the presence Of the brandy and
found one man who was reported as
having purchased some Of 1t but were
unable to CLEAN from him the necessary
information and nothing was done
but the only agent left was awaiting
the arrival Of the train to carry linn
out Of town and danger. OF course,
he was naturally a little uneasy, and
