NOTE AND COMM ENT.
Sunday after next is Easter.


Pine leaves formerly so plentiful for
mulching are to be had in the vicin-
ity Of Yorkville nowadays, only with
great difficulty.
While there is an unusual number
of candidates for the various county
offices, only a very few names have
been mentioned in connection with the
Legislature.
There are still few bales Of cotton
in the hands of producers in York
county; but not a great many. Most
people who had not sold before, were
tempted to let go at the fifteen cent
mark or very little above.
There was quite a large number Of
people in Yorkville last Saturday; but
the day was unusually quiet from the
standpoint of order. The dispensary
was closed, and the drinking element
found it quite difficult to get whisky.
There are six murder cases to be
tried at the next term of the court Of
general sessions for York county; but
those familiar in general way with
most Of the facts in the different cases
do not think that there is much prob
ability Of getting hanging out Of the
bunch.
During several years past, the An
derson Inte!ligencer has been urging
the young men among it's readers to
buy homes. The advice was good
when the Intelligencer gave 1t first
and it is good yet. 1t Is good not
only in Anderson; but In York, Union,
Cherokee. Chester, Lancaster and
elsewhere.

sellers in western York during the past
few days. He secured the conviction

white, paid fine Of $40 for retailing
and Will Lowry. a negro. paid s25 for
transporting.
In the selection of Mr.. L. R. Williams
as their choice for probate judge, the
voters of York county have shown
commendable discrimination. Without
prejudice to the other candidates, who
had a perfect right to offer, we desire
to say that Mr.. Williams had the high
est claim on the Office. The claim to
which we refer is his longer service
as an upright faithful citizen. That he
is fully competent to fill the office
there is no question. and we feel quite
sure that the voters will not have oc-
casion to regret their action.
As to whether 1t Is true or not. we
cannot say certainly; but that story
from Clemson published in another
column, is hardly to be regarded as
other than a joke. That the Clemson

Mr., WILLIAMS WINS.

Mr.. L. r. Williams Of Yorkville. Is
to be probate Judge for York county
to succeed the late lamented Col. w.
II. McCorkle.
The Democratic voters Of the county
so decided in a primary election held
last Saturday, and their decision Will
be ratified and confirmed in a special
election to be held by order Of the
governor on Saturday, April 9.
The primary campaign, which had
been on for several weeks, was con-
Quoted very quietly. Each Of the three
who offered, Messrs. Brooks 1nman,
Frank P. Mccain and L. R. Williams.
managed to cover a good portion Of the
county in their respective canvasses;
but all did their work with such manly
openness as to avoid stirring up un-
necessary excitement. So far as The
ENQUIRER has information, no spiteful
campaign canards were put in circula-
ton.
The election last Saturday was an
unusually quiet one throughout the
county. There was no disturbance at
any of the precincts, and as little IL
quor drinking, probably as has ever
been known on any similar occasion.
Everything goes to show that the dis
orderly element took but little interest
and the vote was representative OF
York county's best judgment.
The Democratic Executive commit
tee met in Yorkville yesterday for the
purpose of canvassing the returns and
declaring the result. The following
committeeman were present: W..
Thompson Jackson, E. M. Bankhead,
w. B. Smith, T. w. Boyd, T. A. Bar
ron, C. P. Blankenship. w. A. Young
blood, P. NJ. Burris, Brevard Fewell,
r. M. Wallace, J. H. Saye, R. w.
Whitesides, R. c. Jackson, j. S. Brice.
The result Of a careful canvass was
tabulated as follows:

here is that Mr.. Williams will make

After this the students lowered the flag

Gaffney's Tin Deposit.
OF the recent discovery Of tin near
Gaffney an expert mineralogist who was
there recently is reported as saying:
1T is the biggest thing that has
happened in the south since the civil
war. 1t is more important than the
oil fields of Texas" The ore Is being
mined on the land Of a farmer 1 mile
from Gaffney. He recently sent car
load Of 20 tons to New York and re-
ceived a large sum for it. The ore
was shipped to Cornwall, England
to be smelted. The ore at Gaffney Is
said to be the richest in the world. 1t
is cassiterite, 70 per cent pure. A
syndicate is taking options on all land
between Gaffney and Kings Noun
tin in the United States except in the
Black Hills, S. D., and very little Is
found there. The owner Of the Gaf-
ney mines has refused 100000 for a
fractional interest. The ore that Is
obtained from the mine at Gaffney Is
the only ore of tin that Is of any i'm
portance-viz: dioxide or stannic OK
de, which is called tin-stone, or cas-
siterite. and in its pure state consists
of tin IS and oxygen %. Its specific
gravity is a notable feature-6.9;. and
it strikes fire with steel. One man
who has seen the mine describes the
unlike metallic iron ore in appearance.
The two principal reasons why there
are no tin smelters in the United
States. are-first there Is very little or
the cassiterite ore found; none at all,
except in Dakota; second, the process
of smelling is a difficult and delicate
one, requiring specially constructed
and expensive machinery. The gov
ernment at Washington has taken
cognizance Of this find. and some days
ago sent an expert to Gaffney to ex-
anime it. His report has already been
filed. A great many other expert min
ers have visited the place, and the
owner, it is said, is daily besieged with
offers from prospective purchasers;
while the neighboring farmers are
kept in state Of keen interest by
propositions from persons who wish
to enter into various contracts with
them. offering to take options and
regular mining leases. 1t is putting 1t
mildly to say that the Gaffney people
are excited over the situation.

Upon the foregoing showing, Mr.. Will
l;:ms was duly declared the nominee
of the Democratic party for the office

garded on the occasion of the special

In order to avoid the necessity of
having to reassemble within few
weeks for the purpose of calling the
county convention that Is to be held
in May with a view to reorganiZing
the party, the committee passed res
olution authorizing the chairman to
call the said convention at the proper

WHAT is the use of another cleo
ton? I thought the matter was de-
cided last Saturday" This question
and observation was repeated a sur
prising number Of times yesterday. 1t
was repeated so often as to suggest
the fact that the public is not very ia
miliar with our dual and cumbersome
election machinery, and we are hardly
able to answer the question that has
been asked. If not exactly satisfying,
it is probably sufficient to say that 1t
is the next election for which there is
use" for it is the one prescribed by
law. There was really no practical
use for tine election of last Saturday.
The whole matter could have just as
we'll been left until April 9.

DEATH OF JAMES scoeeINs.

Mr.. James Scoggins died at his
home near Hickory Grove last Satur-
day night, after several months of in
different health, and was buried : at
Smyrna on Sunday afternoon at 2.30
o'clock.
Mr.. Scoggins was one of the Oldest.
best known and most highly esteemed
citizens of the neighborhood in which
he spent his life. He was born within
a short distance Of the present town Of
Hickory Grove on August 21, 1921, and
was raised a farmer, which vocation
he followed until he became too old
for further activity.
Mr.. Scoggins went to the war In De-
cember, 1863, and served until the sur
render, when he returned and resumed
his interrupted farm work. He took
an active part in the political revolu-
ton Of 1876, and in 1879 was elected a
member Of the board of county COM
missioners, in which capacity he gave
good service.
Mr.. Scoggins was twice married. the
first time to Mrs. Martha Adeline
White of Kings Creek, and the second
time to Miss Sarah Salina Smith Of
Richburg, S. C. His first wife died on
May II, 1878, and the second marriage
took place on May 10, 1881. The Sec
ond wife survives him.
Mr.. Scoggins's surviving children
all by his first wife are as follows;
Mrs. Z. A. Crawford of Yorkville; Mrs.
w. S. Wilkerson Of Hickory Grove;
Mr. ]. J. Scoggins Of Smyrna. Mr. w.
L. Scoggins Of Wyatt, Texas; Mrs. R.
T. Castles Of Smyrna; Miss Ida Scog-
gins and Messrs. B. F. and R. l. Scog-
gins of Hickory Grove.
The funeral which was conducted by
Rev. J. L. Oates. assisted by Rev. P.
B. Ingraham, was attended bya large
number of neighbors and friends from
the surrounding country.

was doubled in every instance. The
salary of $500 satisfied them for about
IL year, when more pay again became
the cry. Now congress is needing the
demand. the new postoftice bill provid-
ing for an increase to S720 year.
This puts them on a footing practical
ly equal with the carriers in the small
cities. The carriers in towns with less
than $4,000 inhabitants, start in at
$500 a year and are promoted to $S5O
at the end of the second year, and
stick there. The pay Of carriers in the
larger cities is better, $1,000 being the
limit. Ninety-seven per cent of this
appropriation Of S21,00O,0OO for rural
delivery goes out in salaries.
