Mr.. Scovar OF Lancaster is in this
county for the purpose Of buying farm
ing land, il location, price and quality
suits. This gentleman is Just the kind
of man the landowners Of Clarendon
should offer an inducement to come
here. He is one of the most substantial
citizens of Lancaster.
Died suddenly in Columbia Monday,
Mr.W.Percy Mood,a son Of the late Rev
". W. Mood. The deceased had been
quite i'll, and was being taken to the
hospital for the insane, and expired
while being! taken from the train to
the hospital ambulance. He was un-
married, and aged about 33 years.
Doctor Mood, OF Summerton, is his
brother.
There is some talk of having the
legislature, by special act, create a
bond issue for the school district that
Jordan is located in. The reason as
signed for asking the legislature, is
that if put TO vote in the district 1t
would be defeated by the influence OF
men who are opposed to taxation, and
too. the property valuation is so low II
would take more than four mills. The
proposition is to bond the district
for $4,000 and have levy OF six mills
for 20 years, and from these bonos
build i modern school building. The
purpose is laUdable, but we doubt eN-
ceedingly if the delegation would con
sent to provide such legislation without
the consent OF the properly owners Of
that district.

Eastview school house is a new

Portable county school building IN

consolidation of two smaller schools
that were formerly maintained for
two or three months each year in the
same district While it is fact that
the whole neighborhood took lively
and substantial interest in the work
of erecting the building, it is equally
true that it's erection is largely due to
the personal efforts and liberality of

the incalculable value Of good

A CARD FROM JOHN R. LOGAN.

The public no doubt remembers
that l was a candidate in the Demo-
cratic primary in 1904 for the nomi-
nation as the party's choice as Clerk
of Court for York county, and also
knows that both Messrs. Wylie and
Tate received larger. number Of
votes than 1 did. Notwithstanding
my failure to win the coveted prize,
I heartily appreciated the loyal and
consistent support given me by my
friends in that very warm, but so far
as 1 know, clean contest, and still
appreciate it. After the election was
over [ did not figure that 1 would
make another try in 1908, and went
to work to look after my business in
terests and make living for myself
and family. and have been giving my
private affairs my undivided attention
ever since. During the past six
months, or longer, 1 have received
numerous requests from citizens liv-
ing in various sections Of the county,
some stating that they had supported
me in 1904, but the majority that
they did not, urging me to become a
candidate for the nomination to the
office of Clerk of Court again this
year, and pledging their support. and
because of this fact, and because I
know of no office in the gift of the
people, that 1eel entlrely capaDle OF
filling to their entire satisfaction that
I would rather have than that of
Clerk of Court, and in view Of the
voluntary assurance Of substantial
support by Citizens and sections that
were not with me before, I have de-
cided TO again become a candidate
for the position, and will sincerely ap-
preciate the good will and practical
support of all who have already VOL
unteered, as well as Of all my former
supporters and of every other citizen
who is satisfied by my past record as
private citizen and public official,
that 1 can and will fill the office if
given an opportunity, to the best in
terest of the State and County, and
credit to myself.
Very respectfully,
JOHN r. LOGAN.

For the YOrkville Enquirer.
The closing exercises of Eastview
school near the home of Mr.. c. {.
Hughes took place on last Friday
May l. There were about $50 people
present, principally from the nelgh-
borhOOd. 1t was the expectation OF
the committee in charge that several
addresses on education and kindred
subjects would be delivered and
stand had been erected on the
grounds for the use of the speakers,
but owing to the uncOmfortably cool
weather it was decided that the
speaking should be held indoors and
accordingly the people assembled in
one of the large school rooms where
County Superintendent McMackin
acted as chairman. The exercises
were opened with prayer by Rev. |.

sity OF Pennsylvania and the Carlisle In
dams played each other to a standstill this
afternoon, the final score being 6 to 6. The
biggest crowd that over saw the annual
game between these teams was present,
5000 in all. Pennsylvania scored the first
touchdown before the game was ten minutes
old. The Indians reversed this in the second
half, when they scored as quickly. Penn
sylvania had the better of tho argument in
the first half, while the Indians had things
much their own way in the second period.
The much-dreaded Thorpe tried three
goals from placement, but all failed. Penn
sylvania also tried for one field goal, but
Marks missed Il by only a few feet. The
wet ball, due TO the rain, which fell all
morning and during most of the second
half, had much to do with the poor kicking
and the fumbling.
New foot bah was conspicuous by its
sbsence, the game being in direct contrast
with most OF the contests between Penn
sylvania and the Indians. The forward
pass was called into use several times, but
did not work well for either team.
