terry association. Most Of the old
subscribers are renewing their annual
subscriptions of 81 each and some ad-
ditional subscriptions are being made
The ladies apply the money to such
part Of the cemetery as seems to be
in most need Of 1t.
In another column, Chairman
White Of the board Of health, gives
notice that a sanitary inspection will
be commenced on next Saturday morn
ing. There has been considerable
complaint of late as to the sanitary
conditions Of the town, and 1t Is the
purpose of the board to see how much
of this complaint Is well founded. A
general cleaning up Is badly needed,
and 1t Is sincerely hoped that the en-
tire population will do all 1t can to
assist the proper authorities In the
discharge of their duties.
The Memorial Day exercises are to
begin in the Graded school auditorium
tomorrow afternoon at $3.50 and be
concluded at the cemeteries. Rev. DR.
s. A. Weber will offer the opening
prayer, which will be followed by
music and an address from Rev. DR.
]. L. Stokes. After the address cross
es Of honor will be presented, and the
roll Of the Confederate dead will be
read. The Ladies' Auxiliary society
will make their annual report. All
flowers intended for the decoration OF
the graves of the Confederate dead
should be taken to the Graded school
auditorium.
- At the Church of the Good Shep-
herd last Sunday morning, on the oc-
casion of his visit to the parish. Bish-
op Ellison Capers was greeted by 9
large and interested congregation
This is the first visit of the bishop
since his severe illness of the fall, SC
that 1t was an especial pleasure for his
people to find him looking so well, and
in his usual happy spirits. The Rev
Mr.. Hughson, missionary Of the dis
trict of North Carolina, read the SER
vice and the bishop preached from
the text, Blessed are they that have
not seen and yet have believed" Every
sentence spoken In his earnest, force.
full, loving manner, radiated with the
faith born of experience, and particu-
larly touching were his beautiful
thoughts of the preparation for death
In the afternoon the bishop admins
tered the rite Of baptism and In the
evening, the Rev. Mr.. Hughson
preached a helpful sermon on the
brotherhood of Christ.
While THE ENQUIRER has not un-
dertaken to investigate the situation
fully, business men who are directly
concerned have taken occasion to as
sure us that Yorkville does not enjoy
the same advantages In express rates
as does either Gastonia, Rock Hill OF
Chester, and the matter Is well wortf
looking into. The express company
Is not In business for Its health. Bus
mess people should recognize thai
fact 1t is also a fact that the express
| company is not going to compete
against itself, and II will not give re.
ductions anywhere unless 1t Is Obliged
to do so. There Is no good reason
why Yorkville should be made to pay
higher. A local green grocer informs
the reporter that some time back M
secured from Florida truck dealer
guaranteed rates on produce from tht
Florida point to the points mentioned
above. In all instances the Yorkvillt
rate was higher. 1t Is the custom Of
truck dealers, when they have a; sur.
plus of products and a dearth OF or
ders, to ship goods on to customers
on consignment. Because Of the high
er rate to Yorkville, Yorkville dealers
do not get these shipments at all OF
| only the fag end Of them, and the dis
advantage Is felt by the entire com
munity. That there is something ou
of Joint somewhere there Is no ques.
ton, and the matter should be looked
into and rectif1ed.
