Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1906-10-30

The open season for partrtdges does
not commence until November 15. 1t
is we'll for the public to keep that fact
in mind.
There was quite rush for copies Of
Munsey's new magazine, Woman, last
week. The supply at the York Drug
Store, which was quite liberal, was sold
out In short order, and It was necessary
to send for more. Fully twenty people
made application to be included In the
second order.
Treasurer Nicely came home last Sat
urday night after weeks tax collect
ing tour During the week he received
only about $1,000 which was included
in a comparatively few receipts. 1t Is
becoming more and more evident every
year that this annual round OF the
county which the law expects OF the
treasurer is worth neither the trouble
or the expense.
The lost Watch advertised by Mrs.
F. P. Mccain some weeks ago has been
received. Mr.. ]. A. Mills, manager Of
the Bratton farm, saw the watch In
the possession Of a negro woman
few days ago and made inquiries that
resulted in its Identification and res
toration. Mr.. Mills had seen the ad-
vertisement. The woman claimed to
have found the watch on the streets.
Il is a matter Of considerable salts
faction to the publishers Of The En-
ouirer to be able to say that the paper
now contains more than double the
amount Of matter 1t contained when "
was first converted into a semi-weekly
eleven years ago and that in each issue
1t now gives its readers more freshly
prepared reading matter than does any
other newspaper In the state save TWO
of the leading dailies.
We produce today for the first time
it has appeared in South Carolina
newspaper, Paul H. Haynes beautiful
ballad on the battle Of Kings Noun
tain. The ballad was written for the
Kings Mountain centennial celebration
and read on that occasion by Col. Chas.
c. Jones Of Augusta, Ga. There was
no publication at the time for the rea-
son that the author preferred to insist
upon his property right in the produc-
ton. Sometime afterward Mr.. Hayne
furnished The Enquirer with copy,
but so far as we have information, II
has not previously appeared In these
columns.

ton. All persons. however, who desire

it is remarkable that this section has
not yet developed an enterprising pro-
moter who will seek to make use OF
some Of the splendid trolley opportu-
mites that are offered by existing con-
ditions. A trolley line from Yorkville to
some point in Bethel township. for in
stance could be constructed without
very great expense and 1t would be
of much advantage in developing bus
mess that is not now anything like
what 1t should be. Trolley lines have
been tremendous developers of 9TH
er sections that had less to begin with
than this section has. -
There Is a petition in circulation In
Clover and vicinity asking the post
office department to compensate trains
Nos. and on the c. & NV. for
carrying the mails. The petition Is
based on knowledge Of the practical
certainty that the trains will be taken
off otherwise. The trains were put on
in the hope Of developing the passen-
ger traffic and were breaking about
even until the postoffice department
forced the addition Of mail cars with
out compensation. The postoff1ce de-
partment is in position where 1t can
say to the railroad that It shall not
run trains No. 7 and 8 unless they haul
mail cars, and as experience has prov
ed that the mail cars cannot be hauled
except at more expense than the rail-
road feels warranted in mourning, 1t
is up to the postoffice department to
help foot the bill. Otherwise the pub
lie will be deprived Of the splendid SER
vice 1t has been getting.
