Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1906-07-27

The state campaigners are to be
in Yorkville on Wednesday, August 8.
The YorkviIIe Cornet band furnished
music at Filbert last Tuesday and 1t
was very fine.
Crops conditions have been changing
materially in many sections during the
past ten days. There has been too
much rain.
Maybe that was bright story about
that "V" over in Fort Mill township;
but we confess our inability to see the
point.
That was a typical York county
crowd at Filbert last Tuesday, York
county crowd as it used to be. There
was plenty of genial good humor
plenty of hospitality, and no bitterness.
Prof. Newman's book on gardening,
Just out, is worthy of serious attention.
1t deals with all the problems Of the
modern gardener with authority, and
is full of valuable information that can
not be had elsewhere in such compre-
hensive form.
Senator TilIman told people here that
he is getting $400 night to lecture to
the yankees" out in the middle west.
1t is to be hoped that he Is giving them
more to think about than he gave at
as a lecture platform attraction. .
AS will be seen from the advertise
ment in another column, the Hickory
Grove people are going right along
with the work of organizing their bank.
The books of subscription are to be
opened tomorrow and the necessary
capital will be forthcoming without
effort.
If there are any registered stills In
North Carolina Immediately across the
CASTOR or Cleveland lines, we do not
know where they are. There are some
moonshiners doing business up that
way; but they are some distance OH
the road and they are not doing very
big business.
Mr.. A. C. Jones says he Is for leaving
counties that have held elections un-
der the Brice law to stand as they are,
and for making a law providing that
all counties may have the privilege OF
local option on the question of prohi-
bition, county dispensaries or high IL
cense. That is pretty close to sane
platform.
Since we come to think Of 1t, Billy
Chameleon from York county took
quite a prominent part in the lobbying
for the election Of Hub Evans as
chairman of the state board of control.
He was not a member; but he had an
official position and 1t is said that he
boasted of having more influence than
any member of the delegation.
Mr.. 3. N. Moore has shown us Geo.
| II. McFadden's cotton condition report
| for South Carolina for the week end
| ing, July 23. The report is made up
| from information furnished by fifty
five correspondents and shows condi-
| tions ranging from 40 per cent to 80
per cent Fifteen correspondents re-
| port Door stands, twenty-One good
stands and nineteen fair stands.
There was a little caucus up at Fill
bert the other day for the purpose or
putting out a legislative ticket on the
recently adopted conference platform
with the exception of the mild compul-
sorry education plank. Several parties
were named according to the reporters
informant, but ii has not been practi-
cable to get a sufficiently authentic
statement Of the proceedings TO war
rant publication.
That was a funny dilemma a local
politician got himself into recently
when. grinning like a 'possum, he said,
in effect, when they come at me about
ldispensary corruption, l say, Yes, but
| defy you to show me where there has
ever been any corruption In York
county; we are not responsible for the
rest of the state" Then having made
this point, he went on with the propo-
sitiOn, IF the whole state cannot con-
troll it, how is it possible for one little
county to control it?" And again he
grnned like 'possum.
