WITHIN THE TOWN.

The Associate Reformed congre-
cation of Yorkville still has undee
consideration the idea Of a new church
building; but as yet has determined
upon nothing definite.
School begins next Monday. The
children are sorry. and the parents
are sorry too; but In the case Of the
latter the sorrow Is because school
did not begin last Monday.
There will be a meeting In the
court house tonight at 8 o'clock to
make a last effort in behalf of the
proposition to secure the location Of
the Presbyterian college of South Car
olina in Yorkville. THE ENQUIRER Is
requested to urge everybody In York
Vile who Is interested In the matter
to give their attendance and look it
squarely In the face. The hour Is 8
o'clock.
The recent bond issue Of the York
Cotton mills amounting to sS5 900,
has been financed by and through
Mr.. Sam M. McNeel and the Loan
and Savings bank. Practically all Of
the bonds have been taken in York
ville mostly by private individuals.
The bonds run for fifteen years and
draw six per cent interest. The Loan
and Savings bank Is trustee. This
Is the largest single financial transac-
ton that has ever been made in York
ville and it was perfected in all its
details without a hitch.

tions have changed, or rather. the far
sighted efforts Of years ago have be-
gun to bear fruit. 1t Is developing
that the railroads which Yorkville Sc
cured largely through her own efforts,
give her practically as good freight
and passenger facilities as are enjoy
ed by any Of he~ near neighbors, and
the railroads which were once thought
to have ruined her forever are now to
be looked upon only as making reason
able boundaries to her growing trade.
Too bright is this picture? Not bit
of II. Is 1t not fact that the popula-
tion Immediately surrounding the
town and for miles In every direction
Is, family for family, the equal in ener-
gy, intelligence, industry and wealth
producing capacity Of any agricultural
population to be found In any similar
radius anywhere in all the South or
:he United States? Then when York
Vile gets the commercial interests Of
the people properly concentrated
around herself why should there be
any limit to her prosperity?
The fact that Yorkville Is coming to
her own Is evidenced by the develop
ments Of the past ten years. Ten
years ago she had no water system no
telephone system, no electric light sys-
TEN. Her first cotton mill was built
in 1896 Since the building Of that
mill. there have grown up numerous
enterprises that have contributed ma
terially to the growth and development
OF the town. First there came an ex-
pensive graded school building worth
close on to $4,000, next another cot
ton mill, then another bank, then an
increase in the capital Of the bank al
ready here. then an oil mill, then an
other. cotton mill, in the meantime nu-
merous new residences, lately the re-
modelling of numerous store fronts,
then the cementing Of the sidewalks
along Main street, then an additional
large store building, etc. All this
time additional capital has been COM
ing with new and valuable citizens
from abroad, and uniting with local
capital. During ten years the town
has gained from 1000 to 1.5OO addi-
tional population and gained and put
to work hardly less than $1,5OO,OOO of
additional capital.
BY far the greater part of the devel-
opment referred to has been within
the last half of the last ten years, and
1t has all been done in such a careful
and conservative manner as to give
warrant to the assurance that the
events of the present only mean the
laying of the foundation for the fu-
iure. There is within the town and
growing throughout the country sur
rounding a feeling Of enthusiasm and
confidence the like Of which the pres
ent generation has never known be-
fore, and that the Yorkville OF five
years from now will be twice as large
and twice as important as the York
vile of today. seems all but certain.

If there was one proposition more
than another in which the big crowd
at Tirzah yesterday completely agreed
with Senator Tillman, 1t was that the
governor should kick out the present
board of directors and take charge of
the business so as to save as much as
possible Of the 100000 the state has
invested in whisky. And while the
crowd seemed to be in complete agree
ment with Senator Tillman on this
proposition, 1t was hardly less agree
able to Senator Brice's suggestion that
the legislature should meet in extra ses-
sion and at once wipe out the whole
dispensary machine.

The Town of YorkvilIe.

Although long regarded as the slow
est and least ambitious Of her sisters
in the Piedmont, intelligent observers
Of progress and development are now
beginning to awake to the fact that
the town Of Yorkville is not only pos
sessed Of many advantages over her
neighbors: but that she Is suddenly
shaking off her old, time lethargy and
putting on a stride that promises the
restoration of her old place in the
lead.
That Yorkville has suffered many
serious setbacks in the past there Is
no question. Some of these set backs
have been through her own fault and
some have been through the triumph
of others who represented conflicting
interests. The immediate result Of
the towns mlsfortunes were apparent
ly disastrous: but now II is an estab-
lished fact that these apparent disas-
ters were only temporary, and as a
town has been helped rather than
hurt.
The first misfortune to which we
refer was in connection with the loca-
ton Of the old Charlotte. Columbia
and Augusta railroad. The road was
to have come by this place. Yorkville
was not insensibls to the probable ad
vantage and did what she could In
furtherance of her own interest, fail
ing only by the closest possible shave.
What then seemed little short of a
tragedy was repeated In connection
with the location of the Piedmont Air
Line railroad. This line was to have
passed through Yorkville; but as In the
case Of the c. c. & A. was carried by
conflicting interests to a location that
meant long continued injury.
In an effort to hedge against the first
misfortune. the disadvantageous loca-
Augusta road, broad minded Yorkville
people built the Kings Mountain rail-
road to Chester, and for the same reason
in the case of the Piedmont Air Line
TIE SdHic VI pCopiV PuohSN thS
Chester line on toward the mountains
of Western North Carolina. The third
railroad experience, the building of the
Three Cs across the county, was entered
into not so much through a hope Of
either present or future advantage, as
a measure Of protection, and al
though while for q time it looked as
If Yorkville had lost again, the facts
are beginning to prove otherwise.
Surrounded as she has been by rap
idly growing towns. in closer touch
with the world outside, and having
greater advantages in freight rates
and facilities, Yorkville has found 1t
difficult to hold her own and almost
impossible to make headway. She was
discredited at home and abroad until
even most of her own people, In fact
all but the broadest and most intelli-
gent among them, began to lose all
confidence in her future. So common
and so general H. fact was the belief
that Yorkville was commercially and
industrially dead that there were left
but few to resent open declarations to
that effect.
But within the past ten years condi-

SENATOR Tillman's proposition that
the governor kick out the state board
Of dispensary directors and assume a
temporary receivership of the whisky
business meets our hearty approval.
We would not like to see the governor
in permanent charge; but we have an
idea that If Senator Tillman's sugges-
ton should be acted upon, the grafters
would be caught redhanded with a
large amount Of swag. There would
probably be more or less resistance on
the part Of the members of the board;
but this would only serve to bring out
q lot Of startling facts which will 9TH
erwise never know the light, and the
row that will be kicked up will hasten
the end of the whole rotten business.
Move, governor, move.
