A Varmint In Lancaster.

Rock Hill Herald, Saturday: A few
weeks ago Western York had var
mint scare. This proved to be a hoax
palmed off on the community by some
fellow who seems to have had nothing
else to do. Last week Lancaster had
her fright on account Of bear, the
whole country being stirred for miles
around. But those were as nothing
compared with the experience of the
darkies on the Springs place and some
of the whites Of the community. Sew
eral weeks ago there were strange, un-
earthly sounds coming from cane
brake in the neighborhood, and 1t was
at once concluded that panther or
bear had taken refuge In the cane
brake, where it had been found by
some dogs that were making the welkin
ring with their baying. 1t was appar-
ent that the dogs had met their match,
for the strange noise was terrifying,
and the hands in the fields at work
near by, summoning their strength and
mounting their mules, were soon flee
ing in every direction. The news
spread that there was great wild ami
NAL at large, and that the community
was about to be destroyed. Men and
boys, armed with guns and axes, came
from every direction, and soon the be-
sieging army had surrounded the cane
brake, but at a safe distance. Mean
while the fury continued, the excite
ment grew more intense, and there
were many suggestions as to what
should be done to save the country.
One citizen. Mr.. r. G. Garrison. sum-
moning an extra supply Of courage
and armed to the teeth, ventured forth
into the brake, reinforced by division
under the command of R. L. Sturgis,
every man expecting at any moment
to see the wild denizen of the jungle
plunge upon the party and destroy
every vestige Of some poor devil who
perhaps could least defend himself.
On went Mr.. Garrison, the sound Of
the dogs and the fury Of the wild
beast becoming every instant more
horrifying. Excitement was at Its
greatest pitch, when forth from the
Jungle came Mr.. Garrison's disgusted
expression, "Oh, shucks!" A buzzard
that had made it's nest in the cane
brake had been disturbed by the dogs,
and it was in defense Of her nest that
she gave forth the awful sounds with
wings and throat that had brought
CONSERVATION to that whole section.
Many brave hearts then entered the
Jungle, but there were others who
silently stole away, and since then 1t
is not safe to mention anything In
that neighborhood concerning any bird
or fowl that builds nests.

WITHIN THE TOWN.

Miss Leila May Gill of Laurinburg,
N. c.. has been elected a teacher In
the Yorkville Graded school, vice Miss
Emma Rasor, who had already accept
ed another position at the time Of her
recent election.
- Some of the younger members OF
the Commercial club rendered an en-
tertainment 20 the teachers In attend
ance on the summer school and to 9TH
er ladies last Friday night. There were
music and refreshments and everyone
enjoyed the occasion very much.
In all seriousness, does Yorkville
not need a park in which the small
boys may play ball, and the young
people generally find some kind OF rec
reation? THE ENQUIRER thinks so,
and 1t thinks that the matter should
be taken up without further unneces-
sary delay. Except on private proper
ty there Is no place off the streets
where one can find even the shade of
a tree. A spacious park would add
much to the comfort and pleasure OF
life in Yorkville, and it would be ac-
ceptable to everybody.
There was not very large attend
ance on the lecture that was delivered
by Prof w. H. Hand in the Graded
School auditorium last Friday night;
but those who did attend heard some
good sound sense on the educational
question. Mr.. Hand devoted his re-
marks to the benefit Of trustees and
patrons principally. He did not have
much to say to the teachers, because
he claimed that they got enough lee
turing all along anyway. His first
leading proposition was that education
is too cheap in South Carolina for
proper appreciation. We pay only
about II cents per capita, as COM
pared with SO or $12 per capita
in some Of the more advanced states
and because Of this small amount, we
have but little practical incentive to
keep informed as to the use that Is
made Of the money. But let the cost
be as it may, the success Of the school
system depends upon the patrons and
the trustees. II the patrons are pro-
perly interested they will see to II
I that the right kind Of trustees are
elected, and the right kind Of trustees
| will see to 1t that the right kind OF
teachers are chosen. 1t Is common
failing with trustees to select teach
ers from considerations other than fit
ness. It is not unusual for instance,
to give the job to the daughter Of the
| largest taxpayer or to the daughter OF
poor widow. This would be all right
Of course, If qualifications were as ap-
parent as need for the place; but 9th
erwise such considerations are crimi-
nally unjust to the children to be
taught. Trustees should be governed
In their selections by the fitness of the
applicants alone. A poor and incompe-
tent teacher Is an expensive invest
ment at any price. One good teacher
is worth more than half dozen poor
ones. Then again, much depends up
on the patrons. 1t devolves upon them
| to make good use Of their common
sense, especially as to being influenced
by the likes and dislikes Of their
children for teachers. Where the pa
tron is disposed to take seriously ev-
cry whim Of the child and make trou-
BILE for the teacher, the school cannot
be a success. All the people present
were pleased with Mr.. Hands address

THE Republican platform adopted at
Chicago last Wednesday contains the
following with regard to the franchise
question:
We favor such congressional action
as shall determine whether by special
determinations the elective franchise
in any state has been unconstitutional
ly limited, and If such is the case, we
demand that representation in con-
gress shall be proportionately reduced
as directed by the constitution of the
United States.
All this Sounds fair enough; but we
do not believe there is a particle Of
honesty or sincerity in it. 1t Is aimed
at the south alone, and it's object is
principally 10 stir up the negroes of the
north to stand by the Republican
ticket.

INTELLIGENT SANITATION.

There is to be an earnest, intelligent
effort to improve the sanitary condi-
tions in and around Yorkville. This is
the result Of careful consideration OF
the subject at a meeting Of the town
council last Friday night.
AS has been previously stated, with
the exception of an earnest and very
we'll conducted effort in connection
with the dry box system some time back
sanitation has been more of a joke
than anything else in Yorkville. The
effort referred to was earnest and
along the right line except in the ad-
ministration. The authorities sought
to impose upon individuals a duty that
more properly belonged to the corpor-
alton.
But now it seems that lessons are to
be drawn from the mistakes Of the
past, and hereafter the work Of sani-
tation Is to be carried on in a manner
that will be in full keeping with Its
Importance.
lone trouble all along" said Mayor
Lowry on Saturday, "has been that the
town council and the board Of health
have not been able to get close enough
together on this subject. They have
disagreed as to the selection of
health officer. and as to what he should
be paid, etc., and they have disagreed
as to other important details. All this
however, was discussed at our meet
ing last night. and: feel that we have
reached an understanding THAT will
enable US to do something. :: ~
1.-The board of health will work ir
strict harmony with, the town council
and the town council will work ir
strict harmony with the !. board OF
health. The rules Of the board are to
be enforced to the. letter, without fear
or favor, and as soon as the necessary
arrangements can be perfected, the
town government will undertake the
removal of garbage and filth from
within the corporate limits at the ex-
pense of the town treasury. t,::
1T is quite possible that we may
meet with more or less opposition. j
hope not. But anyhow. We -are going
to try to do the best we can to preserve
the health Of the town. I am going

the health officer and the police on this
question, and I hope the people who
realize the importance of the ends to
be attained will, stand behind me-"
