Priests Return.

Rev. FIR. Paul Gilberton, of the west
side parish, and Rev. Fr. Balland of
Mora have returned from an
extended European trip.
They went mainly to visit relatives
in France and incidentally to recuper-
ate their health and strength for the
winters work.
Both gentlemen report a very en-
joyable time, but they say they are
glad to get back to their people and
their work. Also it Is certain the peo-

The fathers spent short time in Italy
and although they say both the French

hot and oppressive after Las Vegas
and as far as New York and Chicago
are concerned, they are unbearable.

FIGHTING IN ARKANSAS.
Former Congressman Fined One Dollar
For Hitting Governor Davis.

"I struck the first blow. 1 would
have struck the last blow, II they
had not prevented me from doing so.
I would have struck other blows also,
and don't think that Davis got what
he deserved"
This according to a Fayetteville,

timony given by ex-Congressman Hugh

GRANDSON OF A PIONEER.

The town OF YorkVille mas just ndu
a visit from quite a distinguished de-
scendant Of one Of her pioneer citizens
who. In his day, was a man of more
or less note, and the object OF that
visit. as we'll as its result Is not with
out a certain local interest.
The visitor was the Hon. Charles n.
Carey of Portland, Oregon, general
counsel for the western division OF the
Northern Pacific railroad, and the
pioneer ancestor on whose account ne
came was Patrick Carey, the first man
to work at the printing business IN
Yorkville and the publisher of York
countys first newspaper.
Having business in Washington, the
argument of a case before the supreme
court, and being accompanied by Mrs.
Carey, he took advantage Of a few
DAYS that happened to be at his dispos-
al to visit the birthplace Of his father.
Samuel Doak Carey, who first saw the
light here seventy three years ago, and
who Is Sill enjoying good health In
Pasadena, California.
Because his grandfather was prin-
ter, Judge Carey naturally found MS
way to THE ENQUIRER office, and ne
was agreeably surprised in that he was
enabled to learn more Of the old gen.
tleman's work that he had expected
for here he found a copy Of the book
Patrick Carey had come to Yorkville
to print and complete file OF the pa
per he afterward published, the York
Vile Pioneer and Weekly Advertiser
for two years.
Patrick Carey came to Yorkville with
his wife from Tennessee in 1928 to
publish in book form a series OF lee
lures by Rev. w. C. Davis. After the
publication of one volume, Rev. Robert
M Davis, who was behind the under
taking died, and work was suspended
Carey then established a newspaper
and later on became postmaster, which
position he held for several years. Dur
ing their residence In Yorkville, eight
children were born to the Careys, and
of these Judge Carey's father was the
youngest. Patrick Carey left here IN
1S45, and returned to Tennessee
where he soon died. Mrs. Carey died
about ten years ago, aged SO years.
Judge Carey was born in Ohio and
reared in Cincinnati. He left that city
some thirty years ago, and settled In
Oregon where, after considerable sue
cess at the bar he became judge.
Later he gave up that office to resume
his practice, and he now not only ranks
as one of the foremost lawyers Of the
northwest, but is prominently connect
ed with many of the great enterprises
of his city and state.
During their stay here, from yester-
day morning until this morning, Judge
and Mrs. Carey made their headquar-
ters at the Parish hotel. Both were
very much pleased with what they saw
of the town; but expressed themselves
as not little surprised at its failure to
conform with preconceived impress
sions. They had been led to believe
that Yorkville was only a small ham,
let; but they insisted that it was one
of the prettiest places they had ever
seen, and were sorry that they could
not arrange to spend several weeks
here.

been at it he has secured 1900 sigma
lures and apprehends no trouble in get
ting the required number and even
more.
Thanksgiving day has passed off
very quietly in Rock Hill. Hundreds
of ardent but misguided sportsmen
sailed forth in the heavy wind intend
ing to slay without mercy the innocent
game Most OF them have come in
wiser If no: sadder men and left the
birds behind them. There has not
been a drunk or disorderly person on
the streets and with all the business
houses closed it has been as quiet as
the Sabbath. Union services were held
at the Baptist church and the Rev. w.
B. Duncan of ST. Johns NJ. E. church
preached the sermon. AS Is customary
a collection was taken up for the ben
eft of the different orphanages In the

Several years ago Messrs. John L.

partnership styled the Rock Hill Rail-

Hill to a point about two miles
north Of Harmony and they will make
several other surveys. Mr.. Lee who

The board of trustees of Winthrop
college which has been in session since
Tuesday evening adjourned Wednes-
day afternoon. The principal business
was the report of the president, DR..
Johnson, which covered about fifty
pages. One of the matters with which
the Board dealt. and which is just now
of great interest over the state, was
the petition or request signed by the
parents of about 326 pupils of the COL
lege asking that the students be given
holiday at Christmas and those who
wished be allowed to go to their homes.
This request was not granted. OF
course the usual holiday will be given,
but the students will not be allowed TO
go home. A fuller report of matters
of interest coming before the board will
be given out in a day or two.
