Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1906-01-26

It cannot be denieo tnat g. cOlQ wave
has followed the recent hot wave all
right
The road question is one Of the most
important before the people; but 1t re-
ceives little attention at the hands OF
the general assembly.
The house of representatives on
Wednesday refused to pass Mr.. Halls
bill providing for the arrest, without
warrants, of persons suspected Of
gambling.
The outlook is that there will be but
little business at the next term Of the
court of general sessions. Indeed the
probability is that the term will be one
Of the lightest that has been known for
years.
If the general assembly will only
give it full swing with q free hand
there Is no telling what the dispensa-
ry investigating committee may un-
earth. But unless somebody Is going
to be prosecuted, what's the use?
"What we want to do," said Mr.. H.
C. Strauss in connection with the lack
of freight accommodations at the
Southern depot, "is simply to sign an
agreement not to receive any freight
over the Southern and stick to that
agreement"
The physicians, the mail carriers,
and others who are compelled to trav-
ell the public highways whs her they
want to do so or not, say that condi-
tions are simply horrible. Most of the
physicians are travelling horseback;
but the mail carriers are unable to do
this.
If the postoffice department should
carry out its suggested threat to dis
continue the rural routes on which the
average number Of pieces Of mail
handled does not aggregate 1000 a
month, Yorkville will lose at least two
If not three of her seven routes. 1t is
hopeful, however, that no such condi-
ton will be enforced.
The BuIlock's Creek township shoot
ing affair, referred to Tuesday as hav-
ing occurred last Saturday, took place
very much as stated except that neith-
er Of the participants was fatally
hurt. The shooting took place on Mr..
]. F. Wallaces Moore" plantation.
John Adams, Sr., used a pistol and
John Adams, Jr., used a gun. .
Mr.. Joseph M. Sims of Sharon-claims
that the bulls and bears Of Wall street
are working in harmony in the cotton
market to fleece the lambs by agree
ment They have an understanding
with each other as to when profits Will
be taken. Mr.. Sims Is not the only In
dividual who has entertained this idea
and the probability is that he Is not
far wrong.
"If it were not for the fact that so
many generations have INTERVIEWED
since the old mans death, would say
that you Yorkville people are certainly
related to job" said Railroad Com
missioner Wharton yesterday, refer
ring to the local forbearance In con-
nection with the miserable facilities
furnished by the Southern railroad for
handling and caring for freight at this
place.
Editor Marshall Of the Gastonia Ga
zette, is all right, but he will throw on
on Yorkville occasionally. There was
paragraph in the Gazette recently
commenting on the tremendous guam
tity of liquor being shipped to York
Vile, and we took it all seriously, Sc
cretly deploring the fact that Yorkville
was so much worse than other towns.
The matter came up in conversation
between two gentlemen few days ago
and one of them stated as a matter OF
his own knowledge, that during the
very week that the Gazette made its
fling the express agent at Gastonia had
an extra room rented to take care OF
