"The farmers of your locality seem
to have a pretty good idea Of how to
manage the terrace principle" said
Mr.. Herring In reply to a question.
II have met some who haven't a great
deal to learn along that line, and the
value Of under draining Is not un-
known to them; but as yet great
deal Of this kind of work has not
been done. However, / am pref
ty sure that some OF the farmers I
have met are ready to do a great deal
more than they have done. They ap-
preciGte the value OF proper drain
age and think there will be more
and more Of 1t in this country" ...
As every experienced farmer
knows there Is a right way and a
wrong way to put down tiles. The
man who does not understand the
theory of the thing correctly can cas-
lily spend lot Of money and waste a
lot Of time without accomplishing
anything practical In the way OF re-
suits. Properly laid, however. long
string of tiling frequently pays for it.
self by the increased profits on a sim
gle crop. AS the result Of his wide
experience in these matters. Mr.. Her"
ring is able to tell after a brief ex-
animation, just what kind OF drain
age will be best for any particular
piece Of land.
II the farmers of this section should
go extensively into the matter OF un-
derground drainage, they will proba-
bly, find 1t desirable to secure the es-
tablishment Of a local plant for the
manufacture of tiles: but that Will
not be a matter of very great difficult
ty. The necessary machinery Is COM
paratively inexpensive, and any expe-
rienced brick maker can very easily
learn how tiles should be burned 80

Building and Loan associations
have done much to develop other
towns. The Yorkville Building anc
Loan association is capable Of doing
much to develop Yorkville. But before
the association can do a great deal Tor
the people, the people must do some
thing for 1t. The larger the capital Oh
the association, the more rapidly 1t Will
grow, and the greater will be the ben
eft. Yorkville people should take
stock.
This town Is held In a very dif-
ferent estimation by its neighbors as
compared with few years ago. 1t
used to be that the people Of surround
ing towns were accustomed to speak
slightingly Of Yorkville, and the York
willie people didn't care. The people of
surrounding towns no longer speak
slightingly Of Yorkville. At least the
knowing ones do not. Business condi-
,ions In Yorkville are now equal to
those Of the best town In the Piedmont,
and the prospects for the future were
never better.

WHILE the New Orleans convention
was in session last winter, THE EN-
or1RER tried to make plain to the far
mers that if they would hold on to their
surplus cotton, and reduce this years
acreage, the spectators might sell and
sell; but the cotton producers would be
I'm at the delivery day. Those who
have kept up with the situation will
remember that prices have ruled high
er at the end of each month than at
any other time, and that they are now
at top notch for the past season. This
is because the bears have sold more
than they could deliver. 1t is quite
probable that there may be a decline
with the completion of June deliveries;
but July will very likely score Still an
other rise. 1t will be October before
the situation is materially relieved by
the new crop, and just now 1t locks as
if the new crop is going to bring higher
prices than the crop now being sold.

age. insurance, interest, etc.

A REPRESENTATIVE of THE ENoUT-
RER spent a few hours In Carney a
few days ago and had the pleasure OF
being entertained by Editor Ed H. De-
camp of the Ledger That Editor De-
camp is most pleasant and agreeable
company goes without saying. Every
body knows that: but to suggest this
as the most striking impression that
the representative of THE ENQUIRER
received from his visit would be un-
fair. The Ledger printing office is
one of the best equipped in the state,
and Mr.. Decamp is certainly entitled
to congratulation on account Of the re-
markable strides he has made during
the past dozen years AS progressive
as is the town of Gaffney. 1t Is still
years behind the Ledger, which, as has
been proved time and again, is one of
it's most valuable institutions.

A CORRESPONDENT Of the News and
Courier recalls that when Tarleton
rode over the roads leading to Kings
Mountain. the scholarly butcher de-
clared that there was gold enough in
the immediate vicinity to shoe every
horse in his command. Since then 1t
has been proved that what Tarleton
said. was so: but because Of the tar
diness Of the miners in taking it out,
most of the gold is still there. Some
day. however, when the right man
drifts into this locality, he will find
his luck in an abundance of golden
horseShoes.
