This is another campaign year; but
the ball will not begin rolling percep-

IN the field to make the campaign in
teresting enough.
Mules can be raised in York county
at a profit. Mr.. D. M. Hall Of York
vile No. /, has been raising mules
successfully for a number Of years.
He came out very nicely even when
the price was at its lowest-when
first-class four year old mule could
be bought for 800. Now, when the
price Of a first-class mule ranges all
the way from 5000 to $500, 1t looks as
If there should be good money In rails
ing mules. The subject is worth in
vestigating; because as things go now
there is but little probability that
prices are going to get any lower In
the near future.
Postmaster General Cortelyou has
approved a recommendation of Fourth
Assistant DeGraw for the use by rural
carriers of automobiles in serving
their routes. The postmaster general,
however, expressly reserves the right
to require rural carriers to discontinue
the use of such vehicles and assume
the service Of their routes in the ordi-
nary vehicles prescribed by the regu-
lations, II complaint is made Of unsat-
isfactory service arising from the use
of automobiles. Rural carriers also
are required to maintain a fixed
schedule so that the boxes Of their pa
irons may be served at or about the
same time each day. w."
There seems to be quite number
of copies of Daviss Lectures, that old
book that was published in Yorkville
by Patrick Carey in 1928, scattered
about over the country. At the re-
quest of a gentleman interested, Mr..
w. D. Grist, Of Yorkville a few weeks
ago, advertised for a copy and got 1t
without delay. The gentleman desired
still another copy, and an advertise
ment in the last issue Of THE EN-
oUIRER brought out two more, one
from Mr.. R. r. McCorkle Of Yorkville
No. G. and the other from Mr.. Jas. N.
Russell of Sharon No. l. All three
copies were in good condition.
Il will be of interest to property
owners and others to know that while

A lost South Carolina college pin
was found last Tuesday through an
advertisement in THE ENQUIRER be-
fore the entire edition of the paper
had been printed. The pin was lost
by Yorkville lady. 1t belonged to
her husband, and she was very much
worried about it, of course. The ad-
vertisement was telephoned to THE
ENQUIRER at about noon, and within
less than half hour after the paper ap-
peared on the street, Mr.. Thos. W..
Clawson came in with the information
that he had picked the pin from the
mud in the middle Of the street that
morning. He had been trying to hnd
the owner; but without success until
the appearance of THE ENQUIRER.
