Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1908-05-01

The recent term of the circuit court
for York county cost about $1,5OO.
Rumor is carrying the names of no
less than nine candidates for the office
Of supervisor Of York county.
While a number of scattering cotton
mills are closing down here and there,
it is to be noted that the closing move
ment is not at all general.
Considerable quantities Of fertilizers
are still being hauled out of Yorkville,
and it is to be presumed that the same
thing Is going on in the case of other
markets.
There is no need to get excited be-
cause of little advance in the cotton
easy it is for the speculator to get
scared.
Rev. L. A. Cooper is to begin a re-
vival meeting in the First Baptist
morning. He will be assisted by Mr..
w. ]. Henderson.
More than a dozen fiddlers, banjo
lists and dancers have indicated their
intention Of participating in the Fid-
dlers convention to be held in York
vile next Friday night. The prospects
for a large attendance are good.
Some of those people who are COM
to win the Farmers Union corn prize,
are going to wake up some November
morning to find that some other fell
low who started late is going to come
out first best. =
Those foreign spinners who visited
the United States last summer seem
to have Matched a game. The mills
have stopped in plenty Of time to give
the farmers a chance to stop the cot
ton planters. The hint Is plain
enough for the most stupid.
The pension roll as published in
The Enquirer of Tuesday contained a
great many errors, in names and post
offices; but the errors were not of our
sent from the office of the comptroller
general. 1t seems that when the list
was first made up a number of years
| ago, many names were misspelled, and
many postoffices were mixed. Various
efforts have been made to have the
original list corrected: but they have
| been unsuccessful, and there is little
else left than to reproduce the names
and addresses as they are sent out Of
fically from the office of the comp
troller general.
ALTHOUGH the club season is over
The Enquired continues to add new sub
scribers to it's list. Generally these
subscribers send 50 for a year, 81 for
six months or so cents for three
months. Occasionally, however, indi-
viduals ask to have their names put
on the list for a year for $1.75. Such
requests are invariably refused. We
also refuse requests to start the paper
without pay. There are people who
seem to be unable to appreciate either
proposition, our refusal to put down
names without pay in advance or to
each: but the reasons behind the prac-
tice are so satisfactory at this office
and so well established by custom
that it is hardly worth while to argue
the matter. The margin Of profit on a
single subscription is so small as to
warrant but little special work on ac-
, count of it, and bookkeeping beyond
the necessary original entries is not
to be thought of. The publishers of
The Enquirer are always delighted TO
put new subscribers on their books and
to renew old ones; but owing to the
great expense at which the paper is
published, including the high cost Of
materials. they are not inclined to have
much patience with overtures looking
to any shaving of the present pitiably
low price Of subscription.
