- There is talk Of another livery

ALL the local dry goods people
are making extensive preparations

is that Yorkville, already the best

Of the state, will be still better this
fall than heretofore. 1t used to be
a common thing to hear people say
that they could not get as good goods
here as in some Of the surrounding
markets; but now 1t Is pretty gen.

relating the experience he said:
RI was sitting In the front coTnpart-
ment OF the smoker, in readiness to
get off the train at Dover. The only
other person in that part OF the car
was the negro porter. There were,
perhaps, seven or eight men in the
other compartments. Immediately
after the engine passed into the
bridge 1 was aroused by three short
shrieks of the whistle. felt the
train sinking beneath me, but easily
and without lurching. ran to the
front door, but by the time reached
1t the train was in the river and wa
ter was about my knees. The depth
of the water possibly was about twen-
ty feet where the bridge broke. To
save myself i began to scramble TO
climb on top of the smoking car:
The porter was ahead of me. I had
great difficulty in lifting myself from
the water, and asked the porter, VINO
was on the roof, to take my hand and
give me a lift. He answered that ne
had to look out for himself, and did
not aid me. That was the last 1
heard him say. A few seconds later
he was swept into the river and car
ried away" The river was terribly
swollen as a result Of cloudbursts
further upstream.

YoRKvILLE, s. c..
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 81, 1906.

Now they have Senator Bailey OF
Texas, in an embarrassing situation.
One Gruet is suing Henry Clay Pierce
president of the Waters-Pierce OIL
company, for back pay due for alleged
service to that concern. During the
trial of the case last week, Pierce tes-
tilted that Senator Bailey had rendered
valuable services to the company In
1900, in securing for 1t license 10 90
business in the state Of Texas after
its license had been forfeited. He said
that at that time he had placed $l3,-
600, 900 worth of securities in the hands
Of Mr.. Bailey 10 handle as that gentle
man saw proper. Immediately after
the publication Of this testimony there
appeared an alleged interview with
Roger c. Sullivan, national committee
man from Illinois, in which Mr.. Sui
livan was quoted as saying that II Mr..
Bryan would be consistent in his pol
Icy of demanding the scalps Of DEM
ocratic leaders who have trust connec-
tions he must also get after Mr.. Bailey,
the leader of the Democratic party In
Washington. Mr.. Bailey got after Mr..
Sullivan in a red hot interview, and
Mr.. Sullivan came back with the ex-
planation that he had not said a
word; that the published interview
with him had been faxed out Of the
whole cloth. However, there seems to
be no doubt of the fact that Mr.. Bailey
is pretty badly tangled with the Stand
ard Oil company, and he has been do
ing things that do not seem to be en-
tirely in keeping with his responsible
lty to the people of Texas.

There is not a great deal Of disposi-
ton to rush cotton on the market. On
the contrary there Is lots of cotton go
ing from the gins to the warehouses.
Those old cars on the Marion and
Kingville division of the Southern are
pretty tough The travel Is heavy
enough to warrant much better ser
vice.
lt was with considerable difficulty
that about two-thirds Of the people OF
the county were aroused to take an
interest in politics this year, and most
of them have dropped the subject to
give their undivided attention to busi-
ness.
Mr.. r. T. Castles of Smyrna, who
recently advertised a flock Of sheep
for sale, writes that he had no trou-
BILE in disposing Of what ne had al the
price he wanted, and that he could
have easily sold one hundred more.
He is now going to give his attention
to cattle raising.
We have sympathy for idlers who
are the result Of hard times, but no
sympathy for idlers who are the result
of easy times. There are lots Of
idlers now, too many for the good OF
the community and something Should
be done to make them work or move
on. re-
Perhaps some good could be accom-
plished by the organization OF good
roads clubs in the various townships,
one or more clubs in each township.
The matter Of township bonds for
road building purposes and other
kindred subjects could be discussed
with profit.
This has been the year for harvest
ing corn according to modern meth
ods. Lots Of people attempted to pull
fodder and lost their labor and fodder
too. Had the country been provided
with shredders, much roughness that
has been lost could have been saved,
Our people have not yet been disposed
to take on to the corn shreddtng IDEA;
but nevertheless, It Is the right thing.
There is nothing to be said good OF
fodder pulling In comparison. /
Because of the unusual demand upon
our advertising space, we are unable
to give as much reading matter as we
like to give and which we are accus-
toned to give. 1t is a fact that we are
very reluctant to yield UP so much
space for advertising; but at the same
time we do not feel warranted IN de-
nying the demands Of legitimate busi-
ness. There Is no reason to suppose,
however, that this pressure on our COL
umns will be of long duration. 9th
erwise, we shall proceed to take speedy
steps to accommodate ourselves to the
new situation.
