Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1906-12-21


Il looked for a time as II there were
to be no fireworks in Yorkville this
season: but during the past few days
number Of merchants have been get
ting in supplies.
There has been less drunkenness
about Yorkville this year than for sew
eral years past. 1t would hardly be
safe to say that the dispensary law Is
not being viola ted; but there are very
few evidences of such violation.
II is now beginning to look as II the
proposed new sub-treasury is going to
Birmingham, Ala. The other states in
terested seem to have worked against
Columbia and dropped her out of the
running.
George Hymes, colored, last Tuesday
advertised stray dog, which, haying

its abode near his house. The owner
of the dog was found in less than an

few days ago, Mr.. w. o. Youngblood
Of Yorkville No. g. remarked that he
was probably the second oldest contin-
uous subscriber to The Enquirer liv-
ing, Mr.. ]. Leander Parish being the
Oldest Mr.. Parish, according to Mr..
Youngblood, has been taking the pa
per from the first issue and he has
been taking 1t from some time later In
1855. This statement is in complete
accord with the traditions Of The En-
quirer office.
For obvious reasons, of course. 1t
would not be advisable to print the
names Of subscribers as sent In by
competitive clubmakers. 1t gives us
pleasure to note, however, that our
ciubmakers are busy and are doing
their usual good work. Several have
entered big punches of names and sew
eral others have reported big punches
to be in within the next few days.
The good friend whose club was pub
lished last Tuesday and who Is giving
the matter his attention, not In COM
petition for any Of the premiums Of
fered, but merely because he believes
that more extended circulation Of The
Enquirer will be to the benefit of
those who receive 1t, has sent in three
more names as follows: DR.. j. B.

Mr.. w. 3. Wilson, Of the firm of
Wilson & Wilson, had pretty hard
streak Of luck last week. He had sew
eral cases in the circuit court and sew
eral in the supreme court, including
one of unusual Importance before each
tribunal. AS matters stood there was
no other way for it than to try to
look after both cases at the same time.
He was successful in getting the right
of way for the Nelson case in the cir
cult court and went down to Colum-
bia to argue the McManus case before
the supreme court. For some reason
the McManus case could not be reach
ed and had to be postponed and when
the circuit court got to the Nelson
case, there remained only few hours
of the week for which the jurors had
been drawn, and the judge refused to
go into the case. AS matters now
stand the Nelson case may not be
reached before next fall 1t was all
lust a case of hard luck. for there was
certainly no fault on the part of Mr..
| Wilson.

TAX COLLECTIONS.

Treasurer Neely has long way to
go in the matter Of tax collections, and
II he makes the trip between now and
December 81, he will be a very busy
man in the meantime.
The total book this year aggregates
something over $121,000, and of this
amount up to this time, or more cor
rectly speaking up to last Wednesday
night the total collections amounted to
s31.S5l.49, or a little more than twen-
ty per cent of the whole.
At the beginning the book contain
ed about 10000 receipts and of these
only 1852 have been issued. There
remain to be issued about 1000 re-
ceipts.
After December 81, a penalty of l

other per cent in February, and ir
March the penalty is 5 per cent more
making per cent in all.
Quite a considerable portion OF the
sSs, 900 outstanding will be collected
before December 81, as much as $780,
600 of 1t probably. and the treasurer
will have to work at nights most OF
the time.

IT is gratifying to note that the state
constabulary has at last gotten real
busy in the moonshining country over
between York and Cherokee counties
and toward the North Carolina line. A
large part Of this territory has been
given over to the Illicit distillers for SO
long a time that the memory OF man
hardly runneth back to the contrary,
and for number of years past 1t has
been getting rather worse than better.
The moonshiners in this section can
be broken up by good honest work
and not otherwise.

pendent movement; that he has no
fight against the Methodist church;
but only against the administration OF

Goody Good People,

Did you ever notice that talk
doesn't hurt man much? Perfec-
ton isn't looked for in man, and
when someone tries to injure a man
by ranting about few faults he
has, the absent one, who is probab-
ly attending to his own affairs, is
elevated in the hearers estimation,
while the informant is lowered ac-
cordingly. If a man knocks along
doing fairly well, people realize
that while he has some faults he
has more virtues, and they are char
table enough TO overlook these
faults. But it is different with
girl or woman. No matter how
good an pure woman may he, let
someone start al, infamous lie about
her and everyone is willing to PASS
it along, and there is always some
to believe it. That lie can never
be lived down. It may burn low
but gossip-loying are ready with
new fuel. Did you ever think how
damably mean some goody.good
people are in this respect?

The Discovery of Pixies Peak

sas, delivered the Pawnees at their
home on the Republican River,
near the Nebraska line, and then
swung southwark to the Arkansas,
which was reached at the present
Great Bend, close to the center Of
Kansas. From that point Lieuten-
ant Wilkinson and a few private
went down the Arkansas to the
Mississippi and returned home, while
Pike and the rest of his men fol-
lowed the Arkansas into Colorado,
wandered through it in a zigzag
course, and discovered the noun
tain with which his name is con-
nected. He first thought it was a
"small blue cloud" but when his
party got little nearer to it they
gave three cheers to the Mexican
Mountains" Pike was in his grave
many years before the peak got his
name, Searching for the Red River,
which was the boundary between
the United States and New Spain
in that vicinity, Pike crossed the
line, struck the Rio Grande instead,
was captured BY the Spanlards on
on February 26, 1907, for invading
their territory, taken to Santa Fe,
and from there the governor Of
New Mexico sent him to Chihua-
hua. From that point, escorted by
the Spaniards, he made detour
through Texas, and on July lst
reached the United States post at
Natchitoches, on the Red River.
Six years later in the war against
England, Pike, as brigadier-gener-
al and commander at the capture
Of York (now Toronto, was killed
at the moment of victory, and has
gained immortality by giving his
name not only to mountain sum-
NIT, but to many counties, towns,
and streams through the United
States.-American Monthly Re-

A,,to Route To jamestown Expo
sition Selected.


An Auto route to the Jamestown
Exposition from Washington D.
q has been selected by August
Post, Of The American Automobile
Association. 1t is expected that
the route selected will be adopted
officially by the Association at its
next meeting, and followed on its
trim to the jamestown Exposition
next year.
Mr. Post has completed a trip
from Norfolk to Washington via
Suffolk, Richmond and Fredricks-
burg and returned by the Shenan-
doah Valley and Three Chops Road.
Speaking Of his trip Mr. Post
said: "Unlike the roadway from
Norfolk to Washington via Suffolk,
Richmond and Fredericksburg the
route from Washington to Rich
mond through the Valley is one of
the most delightful and pictur-
esaue in the country. The high
way is between the Blue Ridge and
Allegheny mountains and is con-
structed of macadam almost its en-
tire length. The distance is esti-
mated a, 450 miles"
The tour Of the Association will
start at Chicago, indianapolis and
Columbus. More than l25 cars
will participate, earring about SoO
tourists. The cars will be dr. wen
over the national highway toWash-
ington where the party will be

will avail themselves of the splen-
did natural conditions and visit the

tests between members of the As

The Old Clock Against The Wall

Oh! the old, old clock Of the house
hold stock
Was the brightest thing ant
neatest;
Its hands, though old, had a touch
Of gold.
And its chimes rang still the
sweetest;
Twas a monitor, too, though it;
words were few,
Yet they lived through nations
altered,
And its voice. still strong, warned
old and young,
When the voice of friendship fall
tered.
Tick! tlckI' it said quick, quick
to bed,
For 10 I've given warning;
Up! up! and 60, or else you know,
You'll never rise soon in tie
morning"
A friendly voice was that old, old
clock,
As it stood in the corner smiling,
And it blessed the time with a
merry chime,
The wintry hours beguiling;
But a cross old yoice was that tire
some clock,
As it called at daybreak boldly;
When the dawn looked gray DER
the misty way,
And the early air blew cold!y.
Tick! tick" it said, "qnick out of
bed,
For 5 I've given warning;
You'll never Kaye health, you'll
never have wealth,
Unless you're up soon in the
morning"
Still hourly the sound goes round
and round.
With tone that ceases never;
While tears are shed for bright days
fled,
And the old friends lost forever
It's heart beats on-though hearts
are gone,
Yet love still lives the stronger
Its hands still though hands
we love
Are clasped on earth no longer
Tick! tick" it said-"to the church
ward bed,
The grave hath given warning;
Up! up! and rise, and look at the
skies,
And prepare for heavenly
morning!"

Marconi And The GraphophOne

| n mOSI I'LL pOI tdiio dCOOoioh w LA
staff of the Columbia Phonograpl
Company's experimentalists ha
been made in the person OF Marco
nj, the inventor Of the wireless tel
egraph. He is not only the fore
most inventor Of the present day
but he is young, while his mos
con spicious contemporaries in th'
electrical field, have turned thu
downward hill of life. They have
practically achieved their utmost
while he has years Of usefulness be.
fore him and a career Of unexam.
pied brilliancy.
A very great deal may therefore
be expected of the young inventor
in the new field he has entered, for
Marconi has showed marked origi-
nality in his treatment OF every
thing he has thus far undertaken.
While other Geographic inventors
have developed improved machine
nv along lines that were by no
means new, he courageously en-
reached upon a realm that was en-
tirely unexplored and achieved
ends, in perfecting his wireless tel
egraph, that were thought to be
beyond the scope Of scientific pos
sibility. He set himself the task
of conquering the unknown, and
how brilliantly and completely he
succeeded is a matter Of current
history.
To such a man the world may
look, with confidence, for improve
ments in the talking machine art
that will bring it still nearer to
perfection than it has yet been
brought, however near that ma,
be. In the sixty years. since Morse
invented his telegraph, thousands
Of patents in connection with the
art have been granted. Many OF
the great lights in the scientific
world have contributed share to
the work Of perfecting the tele-
graph, and new systems, including
printing telegraphs, have been
among the many ingenious appli-
ances for improving tue service.
But, through all these years, until
Marconi came, the one essential
feature-the wire, continued to be
the fundamental and indispensable
principle involved in every descrlp
ton Of electrical communication
both by land and sea.
A few years ago the proposition
to telegraph or telephone without
using wires was met with ridicule
"As we'll try to sail an ocean grey
hound overland to California" PEG.
pie said. But Marconi persevered
and as the outcome of his genius
we have the greatest wonder OF all
the ages-the wireless telegraph.
1t is men of Marconi's originate
ty who put additional touches upon
things that others have developed
to the last degree that seems hu'
manly possible, and nothing that
comes from his hand to increase
the lusire Of the art of recording
and reproducing sounds will sur
prise those who have watched hi:
