Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1905-10-27

long time since anybody remembers
such a general rush to a common
centre. Among the people who sold
cotton here were some who had been
going to Kings Mountain, Gastonia,
McAdenville, and Chester for years.
They had almost ceased to be known
in Yorkville in a business way; but
from the treatment they received this
week 1t Is safe to say that the very
cordial relations of old, temporarily
severed only through force Of circum-
stances, are in a fair way to perma-
nent renewal.
There was only fairly good sized
audience at the opera house last night
1t was not so large as the audience
that went to see the Hooligan outfit,
the Saturday night previous and that
was the reason no doubt. Hooligar
was a miserable pretense at enter.ail-
ment. The Denver Express, however
was the best show that has been seen
in the opera house here for years. This
Is the verdict Of practically all who
saw it, The company Is composed OF
first-class actors who act, and there
was good work from start to finish
II 1t were practicable for the compa-
ny to repeat its play tonight, the opera
house would no doubt be crowded.
- "Humpty Dumpty" Is coming to
town with all the we'll remembered
environments, more resplendent and
more attractive than ever. The COM
pany will be at the opera house on
October 81. George H. Adams, the
famous pantomimist and clown, will
be in the title role, and will be assist
ed by cohort Of pretty ballet girls
full chorus Of trained voices and
clever comedians. Vaudeville comic
opera, comedy and pantomine will be
interspersed throughout the plot
while the last films Of the most recent
moving pictures and Illustrated songs
will round out a performance which
for novelty and extrayagant scenic
and electric effects cannot be surpass-
ed. The great mystery act, Eve, Oh
the birth Of Woman" will be the star
feature of the engagement.
Zone Of the sorest needs of York
Vile just at this time" said q leading
business man to the reporter yester-
day, "is a general laundry, one that is
capable of taking care not only OF
shirts, collars, cuffs, etc.; but the
whole family washing, There Is lot
of money sent out from Yorkville to
other towns in the course Of a year
for laundry bills and from an econo-
mic standpoint 1t would be much bet
ter II all this money could be kept al
home. But that Is not the whole ques-
ton by good deal. There are lots OF
people who have no end Of trouble with
the laundry problem; both as to cost
and as to having the work done at all
Then again because Of the prices that
are being paid for laundry, 1t is diff
cult to get labor for other housework
especially cooking, A large laundry
plant, sufficient to do the entire work
of the town. might be established fol
few thousand dollars. and the busi-
ness could easily be SO managed as tc
guarantee a more satisfactory ar
rangement than now exists. ] am OF
opinion that II some enterprising, re-
liable man will just undertake to es-
tablish a laundry, he will find all the
backing and patronage he will require
and / believe also that II he should
need financial help, he would find In
Yorkville people who would gladly
take as much stock as would be neces'
