Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1906-04-06

Through inadvertence in our report
Of the annual meeting Of Camp Micah
Jenkins, U. C. V. last Tuesday, Miss
Mary J. Hunter was put down among
the newly elected officers as clerk"
That office, of course, was filled by a
veteran, and Miss Hunter, the accom-
p,ished daughter of veteran Is to be
the camps sponsor. 1t is fair to say
that the error was of our own making.
Captain John J. Smith, from whom the
notes of the meeting were secured,
gave us the information correctly and
the misstatement was the result of one
of those annoying lapses for which
there is no reasonable accounting.
It is dawning upon quite number of
the people of Yorkville and vicinity that
they have probably been picked up by
deaf mute subscription news agent
who operated about here along in the
early part of February Offering various
pC riodicals, single or in combination,
at very much reduced prices. Some
people dltTdCteu ny tHc piSeS o'i' oN''
ers moved by sympathy for the young
mans apparent condition, gave up
their money i'm amounts varying from
81 to SIS, and they have since been
looking for returns which have not yet
materialized. From paragraphs re-
Gently appearing in the Chester Ian
tern it appears that the young man al
so operated about Chester. Some OF
the Chester people wrote to the house
the deaf mute claimed to represent;
but the replies they received were so
indefinite as to be unsatisfactory. In
the meantime many Of the people who
gave up their money are worried.
In another column Is published in
formation of the great corn raising
contest to be inaugurated throughout
the country, and in this connection we
beg. leave to remind our readers that
there were several York county entries
I'm the contest that was won by Mr.
Drake. At least two Of the York coun-
ty contestants, Messrs. R. M. Allison
II. L.
100 bushels of corn to the acre, and
ranked high in the list Of the most sue
cessful South Carolina entries. There
is no doubt about the fact that the
York county farmers rank as high In
average ability as do the farmers OF
any other county of the state and the
chances are at least even that YORK
has the best corn farmer in the state.
1t would be gratifying to see some
York county farmer carry off the hon
ors and prizes of this contest this year
and we at least hope to see some OF
them make an earnest effort to this
end.
In another column, we publish two
advertisements which seem to furnish
a most convincing illustration, not only
of the thoroughness with which The
ENQUIRER circulateS over York county;
but also of the wide appreciation OF
that fact on the part Of the public. On
Wednesday there came a telephone
message from Mr.. ]. L. McGill of Beth
any, instructing the advertisement OF
horse taken up by Mr.. r. E. McCar-
ter, Of Glover No. /. The advertise
ment was written out as nearly as pos
sible i'm accordance with the ilstruc-
tioaS as understood. and put In type as
it appears elsewhere in this issue. BY
yesterdays mail there came a letter
from Mr.. w. H. Moore Of Rock Hill,
instructing the advertisement OF
stray horse for Mr.. Robert Barber of
Catawba Junction. Comparison of the
two advertisements suggested that the
horse in question was the same, and
telephone communication seems to
have established the fact. Under the
circumstances we have not seen prop
er TO make any charge to either party
for the service rendered however, will
ing the gentleman most benefited Is
to pay: but at the same time 1t is
Just as we'll to make known the facts
of the case for the benefit Of the les
