The cotton mills are doing fairly well
Just now. They are at least holding
their own and that Is more than most
of them have been able to do during
several years past.
Reports from the petitions asking
for an election on the dispensary ques-
ton are to the effect that they are be-
Ing signed very generally. In the
country, especially, the people are
practically unanimous.
Mr.. r. w. Whitesides Of the Smyr-
ma neighborhood, was In Yorkville yes
terday to attend the meeting Of Camp
Micah Jenkins. He came through the
country and he insists that not In fifty
years has he ever seen so much grass
in the cotton along the road during the
month Of June.
In spite of the heavy rains Of the
past few weeks there are now COM
plants Of the ground being too hard
to plow. Many people plowed their
ground wet They had to, 1t seemed
Ground so plowed Is now very hard
Ground that was not plowed at all Is
hard also. The general concensus Of
opinion is that good season would
now be quite acceptable.
The cocaine ordinance which
went into effect last week was the
cause of no little distress to users OF
the drug among the negroes. The first
intimation that most Of the cocaine
fiends had Of the new law was when
they sought to buy more ''koke" after
the law had gone into effect and were
refused. Most Of the disappointed ne

IT has developed that the three Rus
sian vessels reported as having es-
caped to Manila are subject to the
quite serious charge Of having at
tempted to pass themselves off under
false colors. II appears that the ves-
sells first put into the Philippine har-
Dor of Sual, about $50 miles from Ma
nila. An officer went into the town
and represented that the ships were
French. The native authorities, how
tri-colored flag of France investigated
further and telegraphed to Manila.
That is how the Russian vessels hap
pened to meet the American fleet. If
1t is proven that the Russians actu-
ally did try to deceive the authorities
Of the port of Sual, there will be more
trouble. AS belonging to a neutral
nation the distressed ships would have
been entitled 10 whatever the people
of Sual could do for them; but as bel
ligerents, these ships were entitled 10
remain in port lot more than twenty
four hours, or to take on such sup
plies and make such repairs only as
would enable them to get to the near
est home port. In view Of the bad
feeling that France has caused by
showing too much partiality for the
Russians ii is understood that the
United States will see to it that she
does not give Japan any just cause for
offenSe.

roses. The maid Of honor was attlr-
ed In white silk and carried sweet
peas. Immediately after the ceremo-
nv the invited guests went to the home

tion was held. The bride and groom
were then driven to the station. where

THE SOIL SURVEY.

Messrs. Drake and Belden Of the
agricultural department, who have for
some weeks past been engaged In
making soil survey Of York county,
now have their headquarters at York.
VILE and are working up the country
Immediately surrounding. = .-,s -
The work includes a careful survey
of all the different kinds Of soils In the
vicinity and the collection Of speci-
mems to be sent to Washington for
analysis. When the survey Is COM
pleted and duly mapped, 1t will be
practicable for an interested person to
sit In his office and read the character
and quality Of the soil on any given
square mile of land I'm the county.
In co lection with this survey the
government prepares a complete and
comprehensive map, showing all the
roads, streams and hills In the coun-
ty. and in this particular case Con-
gresham Finley has secured assur-
ance to the effect that all Of the hills,
churches and school houses will also
be shown.
Aside from the benefit to come from
an exact scientific knowledge of the
soils of the county, the people Will
have no less cause for congratulation
In the possession Of the most perfect
map that has ever been made of this
county. It will be such work as
could not be secured by private enter
prise at less cost than about $1o,-
600, and Congressman Finley hopes to
be In a position to furnish copies to
such Of his friends as may desire
them without any charge whatever
It will be year or more. however. be-
fore the maps are ready for distribu-
ton.

teresting only to the army and navy
experts, who are playing the game
and know the constructive effect OF
the unloaded mines and the empty
shells. These exercises are to con-
stitute the only joint operations OF
the army and navy during the year.
They have been designated Joint ex-
ercises" to dist lguish them from the
more elaborate programme Of COM
bined army and navy manoeuvres'
which was first planned, but which
failed of approval for lack Of an ade-
quate appropriation from congress.
The operations ara to be conducted un-

on by a joint board Of army and navy
officers. Considerable Importance Is
attached to the distinction between
manoeuvres and joint exercises. Ma
noeuvres are held to apply to opera
tions where actual war conditions are
simulated, while exercises mean only
that certain prescribed problems are to
be attempted.

YORK COURT HOUSE.
Editor Yorkville Enquirer:

Editor 1OrKVllle enquirer
Can you give any information as to the
first court house that was used In this
county? I am curious to know some
thing Of the court building that ante
dated the present brick structure
Something about the' present building
will also be interesting.
Fort Mill, May 81, 1905.
It is with much regret that TILE EN-
oUIRER informs the correspondent that
1t cannot give great deal OF satis-
far :ory information along the line de-
sired. This writer has given the sub
ject more or less investigation at diff
ferent times Some fifteen years age
he talked with a negro woman, who
had come to Yorkville as a child and
who was then about eighty years OF
age. She said that she remembered
the erection Of the present building
very well, and she had a rather vague
impression that before that time court
was held In a frame structure; but she
was not at all certain about the mat
ter
The earliest authentic information
the writer Is able to find about the
court house is contained In a para
graph that was published In the
YorkvIlle Pioneer Of June S. 1924. which
paragraph reads as follows:
1.-THE new court house at this place
being nearly completed, Ii Is but JUS
tice to say that 1t reflects considerable
credit on the architect and contractor
Robert Leckie. Esq, who has fulhileo
his engagement to the satisfaction OIL
the public Every part Of the building
Is convenient and considerable taste
is displayed in its construction. we
are sorry that we cannot give tech
nical description Of the building. We
regret that there is not In this Sec
tion of the country sufficient patronage
to induce Mr.. Leckie to remain among
us. Ere this ne has probably made
contracts with the government, for
some important public works. Wher-
ever he goes he has our best wishes
for his prosperity, for there are few
men more deserving the unqualihed
appreciation Of his fellow citizens. The
woodwork progresses In a workmanllke
manner, under the superintendence oi
]. B. Hoover. Esq"
1t Is quite possible that some citi-
zen Of the county may have, some old
record or may know Of some such old
record that will throw additional
light on the subject Of the above
quoted correspondents inquiry, and If
so, the publication Of this information
will no doubt be Of interest.
