The crops continue to sing that there
Is a good time a coming.
Do you know where to put your
hand on your registration certificate?
Have you ever tried that certificate at
the polls?
A few more licks such as were struck
by the revenue officers in the Kings
Creek section last Monday. and the
moonshne business will be thing OF
the past. The understanding Is that the
revenuers do not propose to stop with
the destruction of contraband proper
ty. 1t is their purpose to put some-
body in jail
The congregation of Kings Mountain
Chapel has arranged to hang on the
walls of the building a life size por-
trait of the late Rev. Louis A. John
son and also a memorial tablet. The
church was originally established
largely at the instance of Mr.. Johnson
assisted by Joseph A. Smith, Jasper N.
Roberts and several others.
We beg leave to advise our esteemed
contemporary, the Rock Hill Record.
that the rumor about which 1t appear
ed so much worried as to feel con-
strained to give the advice, Don't Is
busted. The parties who bought the
printing outfit last week investigated
it. They were anxious to find the en-
terprising projectors Of the laudable
purpose to establish an up-to-da
newspaper for Yorkville. The reason
of the anxiety was obvious. They want
somebody to put up the cold cash for
the material they have on hand. But
the alert correspondent who threw out
the original clue was unable to help
the situation any further. He said
that he really did not know any such
parties, and had written his highly In
teresting paragraph only as joke. So
for the present it looks as IL Yorkville
will have to poke along with Its one
old ia shioned common place newspa-
per.
At the request of the reporter, Depu-
ty Collector Hammett explained his
method of assessing beerine venders.
Under the law, he said, it was his duty
to arrest and prosecute all such ven-
ders for retailing malt liquors without
having paid the government tax. But
under the assumption that beerine Is
sold innocently, Collector Jenkins has
authorized a different basis. The fer
mented liquor tax is $40 a year from
July l. He got from the books Of the
concern that is making beerine the
names of all its customers, and he has
been assessing them from the time of
their first purchase up to July l at the
rate of $40 a year, plus a penalty of
50 per cent. For instance, a man who
sold beerine only in June, is assessed
for one months tax with so per cent
penalty added. If he sold in July he is
in for $50 plus $40, and has the right
to continue to sell during the balance
of the year, provided he does not run
afoul of the dispensary law.

Briuhter and Brighter.

While il cannot reasonably be claim
ed that Commissioner Watson has done
any more than make good start i'm
the way of attracting immigration to
South Carolina, those who have all
along been keeping in touch with his
efforts now have reason to hope that
success is now in sight.
There has been much work to do,
many difficulties to overcome. For gen.
eratiOnS now the stream of immigra-
ton has been principally to northern
ports. and thoroughly organized infor-
nation bureaus have been diverting
the most desirable portion of it to the
west and northwest. Such immigrants
as may have come to northern ports
with the idea of moving toward the
south We're persuaded or deceived into
changing their purpose. and this sec
tiUn has come in for but the smallest
share of the benefits that have gone
to the northwest.
1t is true that the two loads of i'm
migrants brought by the Wittekind
have not turned out in such manner as
to give great encouragement to the
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1907-08-30

On his visit to Charleston last Tues
day, Baron Won Pills told the Charles
ton people that so far as lay in his
power to accomplish that end, the peo-
pie of the city might feel assured that
a steamship line would be established
to Charleston in the near future. From
what the baron saw in Charleston he
felt pretty well assured that the VEN
ture would be a success and about all
that he exacted of the Charleston peo-
pie was that they should agree to es-
tablish in the city an intelligence bu-
reau, the business of which would be
to give complete and impartial infor-
nation as to the advantages offered by
all the southern states. The baron de-
sires that If the line is established i'm
migrants shall have every opportunity
to secure every advantage that may be
open to them. The Charleston people
have given assurance that such a bu-
reau will be established.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1907-08-30

hopes of those who set so much store
by the experiment; but that has been
satisfactorily explained. These people
had been led to expect too much, for
one thing, and the country was not
properly prepared to take care of
them. for another thing. But still 1t
must not be inferred that the initial
experiment was a complete failure, for
after all, it furnished a great deal OF
information that can be turned to good
account in the future.
The establishment of a regular
steamship line from Trieste to Charles
ton will mean the diversion of a con-
tinous stream in this direction. The
steamship company will do most Of the
soliciting on the other side. 1t will not
have to make any specific promises to
anybody. 1t will merely undertake to
assure those foreigners who desire to
better their condition that the whole
southern part of the United States Is
inhabited by a prosperous and happy
civilized people, who are glad to well
come them for what they are worth,
and give them an opportunity to build
up homes, educate their children and
acquire wealth. They will be told that
the company will land them at Charles
ton, and after they reach Charleston
they will be at liberty to go where they
will.
With a good healthy stream of i'm
migration started to Charleston, 1t Is
reasonable to assume that those immi-
grants who are best suited for partic-
ular occupations will surely and stead
lily drift into the places where they are
most needed. Here there will be
bunch Of mill operatives, there bunch
of farm laborers, and here and there
an independent land owner, skilled ar
tisan, etc. or course there will have to
be some provision to take care OF
large colonies that can be best salts
fed together, and this we have no
doubt will be done in various ways
mainly by the organization of coloni-
zation companies, especially equipped
to satisfy and take care of the new
comers, and at the same time to return
both direct and indirect profits to the
stockholders.
There are those in the country who
fear the coming Of immigrants; but we
do not think there is any reasonable
ground for such fears. The people of
Germany and Austria, from which
countries most of the immigrants will
probably come, are generally as indus
trious and law-abiding as our own.
There are in these countries of course,
as there are here, all kinds Of people;
but our own people are SO well estab-
lished as to be able to thoroughly COM
mand the situation and undesirables
are not likely to tarry.
1t is rather early, perhaps, to bank
too certainly on the realization Of the
promise of a regular immigration line
to Charleston; but if that line is estab-
lished as there now seems every reason
to believe it will be; the people of this
state may look forward to becoming
the. first and greatest beneficiaries af
the enterprise.

WITHIN THE TOWN.

- Some of Yorkville's surplus energy
might very properly be expended in the
erection of a suitable hospital.
internal revenue officers have been
doing some business in Yorkville this
week, collecting revenue tax from GER
tain dealers who have been selling
"Beerine," so-called temperance
drink; but which has been found to
contain enough alcohol to bring it un-
der the ban of the dispensary law.
One dealer paid $5, another $3.50 and
a third SIS. AS to whether or not
there are to be any prosecutions has
not developed.

more work can be done than was ex-
pected at the time the estimates for
this years appropriations were made.
There was at first some question as to
whether a deficiency could be incurred.
The question was submitted to Mr..
Rogers, the attorney for the commits
sion. who decided that the deficiency
could be incurred. The president has
approved his decision, and accordingly
the work on the isthmus will not
hampered by lack of sufficient funds.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 80, 1907.

THE Southern Express company Is
beginning to develop quite a novel
scheme to increase business. The new
practice is to cabbage freight ship
ments en- route and bring them on to
the consignees on express charges.
This is "enterprising" all right; but
we are inclined to think that 1t will
not prove very popular with a large
class Of shippers.

ture of the crop Is its backwardness,
being two to four weeks late, which
