Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1906-11-13

People from the vicinity of Wright's
Ferry report the appearance OF few
ducks along the river.
Yes, that $4,000 appropriation for
monument on Kings Mountain is
fairly to be credited to the D. A. r.
And that Is something.
There 10 nothing dry about Gilmore
Sims Partisan. The story is good
one from cover to cover and those
who read the opening chapters will
not only read through to the end, but
they will be glad they commenced.
Cotton receipts have been very
light since the price went below ten
cents, and buyers are rather cautious
about selling for future delivery, be-
cause of the probable difficulty of fill-
ing orders from this immediate vicin-
ity.
The Bank of Hickory Grove COM
menced business last week with Mr..
N. M. McDill as cashier. Mr.. 8. M.
McNeel of Yorkville IL president.
Western York. especially Hickory
Grove, has long been in sore need Of
banking facilities and this institution
will no doubt fully supply that need.
The flower crop was not what 1t
ought to have been this year; but still
many Of the Yorkville ladies succeed
ed in producing chrysanthemums that
would have probably taken prizes al
most anywhere. That they were una
BILE to get place to hold their annual
show was pity.
The Chester county board of COM
missioners has decided upon the i'm
provement of the York and Chester
road from the town Of Chester to the
York county line. A movement is
now in order to take up the improve
ment of the road from the Chester
line to Yorkville. Otherwise Chester
will soon be making more extensive In
roads into the trade Of York county.
Mr.. ]. j.. J. Robinson, who lives in
the vicinity Of Howell's Ferry, was In
Yorkville yesterday. He says that
cotton picking has about been finished
in his immediate neighborhood and on
trip to Bullock's Creek church Sun
day he saw but little cotton in the
fields which are generally quite bare.
Mr.. Robinson estimates that the crop
is 25 or 80 per cent short as compared
with last year.
Jurors for the third week Of the ap-
preaching term of the circuit court,
which convenes next Monday were
drawn this morning, and fourth week
jurors are to be drawn next Tuesday.
AS to whether the fourth week jurors
will be served and jurors drawn for g
fifth week will be question for Judge
Prince to decided. 1t Is not certain
that five weeks of court can be held
under the law. If, however, court does
continue for five weeks 1t will last to
December %, only two days before
Christmas and 1t Is safe to speculate
that this suggested fifth week may as
we'll be left out Of consideration.
Of all the laws that have ever been
put on the statute books for the pro-
lection Of partridges. that which pro-
hibited the birds being sold or offer
ed for sale was probably the most ef-
fective. Partridges are plentiful In
this country now. We believe they
are much more plentiful than they
would have been had it not been for
this law. The law. therefore, should
not be repealed. One further meas
ure that might prove beneficial along
the same line would be to limit the
number Of birds that a single hunter
shall be allowed to kill in day.
Some of the states have put this linn
1t at fifty. Fifty Is rather too many.
lature will limit the number Of birds
that may be killed by single hunter
in a day to twenty-five, and continue
the prohibition against the sale Of
birds as heretofore, the partridges Of
this country will be safe for all time.
Chairman Grisgs Of the Democratic
saying that the time has come for the
nomination Of a southern man as the
Democratic candidate for the presi-
dency and naming John Sharp Will
liams of Mississippi, as the man.
There is reason and sense In the idea
as we see it. 1t is the best thing the
Democratic party can dove mean to
name q southern man for the presi-
dency. We would not insist on Mr..
Williams. He is as good as the south
has no doubt but there are others
whose claims to the distinction may
lie equally good. So that should be
left to the convention. But by all
means let us nominate southern man.
We cannot win. No one thinks there
is any probability of that. But what
are we getting out Of the present ar
rangement? What have we ever got
ten? With the exception Of securing
the election Of one good man to the
presidency, the southern democracy
has never served any other purpose
than a catspaw to secure hot chestnuts
for a very questionable lot Of north
ern politicians. If we Of the south
would organize our party among our
selves and run 1t in the interest Of true
Democratic principles, 1t would not be
a great while before the self seeking
element of the party north would have
to align itself for or against the Re-
publicans and eventually the politics
Of the north would have to split up
along lines that would furnish an op-
portunity for practical political bene-
fits In the south. The northern and
western contingent Of the Democratic
party Is really no good. and we should
not submit to its control. Let the
