The Rock Hill District conference
will convene at Lancaster next We'd
nesday evening at $50 o'clock. Rev.
HI. ]. Cauthen of Yorkville, will preach
the opening sermon.
Mr.. Williams, representative Of the
Albion Grocery company, who travels
a considerable portion Of the county
for his firm in an automobile, does not
think much of crops so far as he has
been able to judge Of their condition
from what he has seen along the
roads. He says there has been much
Improvement in cotton during the last
week or two but stands are poor and
the prospects are not what they should
be.
Reports generally indicate that the
Irish potato crop has been unusually
prolific this year. For some reason,
probably because Of the cool weather
in the spring, the bugs did not give a
great deal Of trouble, and the crop had
nothing to do but grow. We have
heard Of a case where the yield was
nineteen bushels to one planted and
numerous other cases where the yields
were almost as good. But unfortu-
nately, very few people planted with
a view to putting their crops on the
market.
The city Of Charlotte Is very much
wrought up on the soft drink Sunday
refreshment question. There has been
an ordinance all the while against the
sale of soft drinks on Sunday; but
it has not been strictly enforced.
Within the past few days, the city
council has determined that If the peo-
pie are to have coca cola, ice cream,
lemonade and such things on Sunday,
they must lay in their supplies the day
before.
Referring to the sketch Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Jackson published in the last
issue Of The Enquirer, a gentleman,
who has long been we'll acquainted
with the Bethel country remarked: y
remember when the politicians used to
advise new candidates canvassing that
country that when they met man
they did not know, call him Mr..
Jackson" If the party spoken to did
not return the recognition at once, he
should be called "Mr. Adams" The
idea was that at one time there were
so many people in the county by the
name of Adams and Jackson, there
was little danger Of making mistake
with one or the other Of the names.
The statement in the Glover letter
published in the last issue Of The
Enquirer to the effect that efforts are
being made to induce Mr. M. L. Smith,
secretary and treasurer of the Glover
Manufacturing company to build an
other mill, and that one individual Is
willing to subscribe $4,000 Is interest
ing. We are prepared to believe all
that has been said; but 1t Is with
feeling that the story has not been
fully told. Mr.. Smith is without ques-
ton one Of the most capable and sue
cessful mill managers in South Caro-
lima. Indeed, we doubt If his superior
is to be found in this state, and we
do not know how we would go about
finding him elsewhere. We are quite
confident also that If Mr.. Smith cares
to build another mill, there will be no
trouble about getting the money, and
he will not have to go north for 1t
either The people Of Glover will
gladly put up as far as they are able,
and the people Of the country sur
rounding, wherever he Is known, will
make up the balance to any reason
able amount that may be desired. The
only thing that is necessary to make
the proposition a go is for Mr.. Smith
to say the word, and there will be no
kick about any figures that he may
see proper to name as covering his
compensation as manager.
