The road question is still open.

Several of the r. F. D. carriers, have
noted the effect Of the heat Of the past
few days on their horses and mules.
The heat seems to be more distressing
than for year or more.
The Filbert picnic has become an
established institution, the popularity of
which increases each year. Unless
the weather should interfere, there will
be quite a large crowd at Filbert to-
morrow.
The petition asking for an election
on the dispensary question now aggre-
gates more than 1900 names. Just
how many names are required to call
the election cannot be definitely stated;
but there is no question of the fact that
1000 are easily sufficient.
In connection with these granolithic
sidewalks 1t Is just as well to remember
that the property owners who are In
no instance contributing less than half
the cost and in some instances fully
three fourths of the cost, are entitled
to credit for more or less public spirit.
No citizen can vote In the dispensary.
election unless he has a registration
certificate Voters who are. without
registration certificates, but who are
qualified to receive them. should lose
no time in going before the board Of
supervisors Of registration. This board
meets in the sherif's office on the first
Monday In each month. A voter must
have been registered at least thirty
days before he Is entitled to cast bal
lot in any general or special election.
The receipts of the Yorkville post
office for the year ending June 80, 1908,
amounted to s3,276, and for the year
ending June 80. 1905. to $4,490. This
Is an increase Of not quite 27h per cent
in two years. and II is about the most
indisputable evidence that could be
cited as to the steady growth Of the
town. In this connection 1t might be
stated as a fact that the receipts OF the
Yorkville office suffer to the extent OF
several hundred dollars a year on ac-
count Of stamps sent to various coun-
ty offices for fees, etc. When the re-
ceipts Of the office amount to $4,000
year the town will be entitled to free
delivery service.

Major Earle declares that this Is but
a tax on the people and Is wrong. The

PRESIDENT Archer of the Spartanburg
Farmers association is being congratu-
lated on all sides for refusing to per-
NIT McLaurin and Tillman to make
political speeches to the cotton grow
ers of that county. OF course he Is
right. Only such positive stands taken
in every county will prevent the Cot
ton Growers association from degen-
Grating into a political machine, worse
than useless to the farmers and use
full only to selfish office seekers. The
only safe method Of keeping the as
sociation out Of politics Is to keep
politicians away from the association
Columbia State.
Will the Columbia State kindly sug-
gest an effective means whereby the
politicians may be kept out of the as
sociation? At the SAME time Will II
kindly favor us with its opinion as to
what the association will look like af-
ter the politicians have been elimi-
mated?

"I do not see where people get such
an idea" he replied. THE public
evidently mistakes the Japanese fol-
angels" Baron Hayoshi intimated
that Japan was ready to continue war
unless she secured suitable terms. He
called attention to the fact that the
last two loans were unexpended and
said that the capture Of the Island
of Sakhilan was not precipitated by
the approach of the conference. but
was the natural sequence of tile
Japanese campaign plans which had
not been altered since Russia acceded
to the conference. An earlier attack
on the island was prevented by Sc
we're winter.

If the Blease committee should ex-
honorate the management Of the GEN.
trail machine, would the central ma
chine be exhonorated? There are thou
sands of people in South Carolina who
believe that the sole purpose Of Blease
in introducing. that investigation res
olution was to secure the chairmanshir
of a committee that everybody knew
was to be appointed. And as we un-
derstand Mr. Blease and what he
stands for, If his object in desiring the
craftsmanship was not to be in a posi-
ton to take care OF his friends, we are
willing to forego further speculation
Mr.. Blease's smoothness Is equaleo
only by his transparency.

If the people Of York county are
really in earnest about removing the
dispensary, and we. believe they are
they will give evidence Of the fac
by their attendance on the public
meeting to be held in the court house
on the first Monday in August. The
larger the attendance on and the deep
er the enthusiasm at that meeting, the
more certain will be the result Of the
voting when the election Is held.

THE attempt on the part Of Mr.. E. D.
Smith to rebuke. Mr.. McLaurin for
talking dispensary at Dillon the other
day does not seem to be in accord
with the eternal fitness Of things.
Tillman talked dispensary at Greenville,
1t is true that he was provoked" with
questions; but didn't McLaurin have
written request from the very commit
tee through which he had received his
invitation to be present? Perhaps Till
man had arranged to have himself
questioned, and 1t is possible that Nc
Laurin may have inspired that written
request for light on the dispensary
question. We do not doubt either pro-
position. But then why was McLaurin
alone called down? Maybe it is only
McLaurin's politics that Mr.. Smith OBJ
jects to.

IT is probable that President Roose-

CLEMSON college has just issued ar
interesting bulletin, (No. 1Os), giving
some valuable information about ap-
pies. Upon the establishment Of the
experiment station twelve years ago 6
large number Of varieties Of apples
were planted in the Horticultural
grounds. Most o. these have beer
bearing twelve years and Prof. c. c
Newman has recorded the history and
characteristics Of each. Many Of the
apples were found to be worthless; bu
from the numerous good ones the bulle-

from June Is to April l. This Is, Of

as they should b. and given proper
attention.

UNLESS the dispensary is voted ou'
by counties we are at loss to see how
1t will ever be voted out at all. The

and the answer Of the legislature was
to give the people more whisky. Ir

fore, the committees will do we'll to at

Total

The total number Of dogs returned
for taxation last year was 2,247. The
increase is in some measure due to the
activity of school trustees who, parti-
cularly in York and Catawba town
ships. made 1t their business to secure
the return Of as many dogs as possible.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1905-07-21

AS we see 1t the people Of the state
are not worried a great deal about the
few extra bottles Of whisky that may
have been going to local dispensers.
The great matter of concern is the
graft that is generally believed to have
been going one way and another to the
central machine.

began manoeuvering the aeroplane.
He sailed gracefully about, then es-
saved a deep dip. Suddenly the ma

turned over. 1t righted itself, sank
down a considerable distance and
turned over again. Maloney was
clinging desperately to his seat and

were in vain. Again the aeroplane

a short time. The aeroplane was de-

after the events of the last eighteen
months Japan puts confidence only in

at the conference what these powers
are" The correspondent suggested
that the general opinion was that the
Japanese terms should be moderate.
