county is so nearly ready for harvest.
it is practically certain that the yield
is lighter than 1t was last year. The

ling nor liquor drinking In the rooms
Of the Commercial club Of Yorkville.
Neither offense would be tolerated.
The building Of a pile bridge over
Turkey creek at Sutton's spring and
the grading Of the hill on either side,
so as to throw the roadway about 10

work can be done for less than 5000.

Tho publishers Of THE ENQUIRER
are very much gratified to note the
interest that has been created by the
republication of the story Of ELLEN
Campbell or Kings Mountain" This
story was popular when 1t first ap-
peared two generations ago, and 1t
seems to be no less popular with the
children and grandchildren Of those
to whom 1t was originally presented.
But this is not surprising. Aside
from It's store of local tradition so
dear to the people Of York and sur
rounding counties, 1t Is a story Of
great merit. that would hold its own
with stories of it's character any
where.
While it would be pleasing to know
that the Southern railroad Is contem-
plating extensive improvements in
the roadbed Of the Charleston divis-
ion between Marion and Camden, from
such information as the reporter Is
able to gather there Is no probability
Of any immediate material changes.
Engineers have done a good deal OF
work along the line during several
months past; but they have merely
been gathering exact information with

People who handle more or less
money from day to day have been
struck with the increase In the num-

their counters as much money In one
dollar bills as they are in silver dol
lars. Just where the bills are COM
ing from, it has not been practicable
to determine One Of the bankers
suggested the other day that quite
a number of them were brought from
Columbia by the military boys; but
this accounts fer only a small per
centage of the total amount In cir
culation Some people prefer the bills
to silver and others prefer the silver
dollar. The banks rather prefer the
silver dollars, and are inclined to ship
the bills away. The silver dollar Is not
at all popular in the north. UP there
they use but little silver except In MAX
ing change under a dollar. 1t has
been so for fifteen or twenty years;
but down this way, silver has had
the more general vogue. 1t is possible
that custom is undergoing a gradual
change.
