News, Nav 13: The road surveying
party, which started out from LancaS-
ter a week ago, got as far as the Wei
senfield or Williams place, on the Char
lotte road, Saturday evening. An aver
age from three to five miles day is
being made. =. Mr.. George Plyler, one
OF the prosperous farmers Of the Ia
bernacle section, who has recently been
over about Lynches river says there
isn't as much money in that part OF
in cross
Roads community. but that the people
have a plenty to do them until they
sell some more cotton. Wyatt Cole
man. progressive colored farmer OF
the Stoneboro section, finished chop
ping cotton last Friday. We doubt if
there is a white farmer so well up with
his work. Many are just through
planting cotton. Miss Margaret
Shehane. an elderly maiden of the
Fork Hill community. died last Satur-
day night. She was a sister of Mr..
James Shehane, and was about 65
years of age. The remains were buried
at Fork Hill Sunday. .... The York
vile Enquirer is of the opinion that a
make thorough house to house can
vass," as the best way to succeed" 1t
doesn't think the mere fulfillment OF
the executive committe appointments
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. under such cir
cumStances are the exception rather
than the rule" says our contemporary.
OF course, this canvaSsing business Is
a matter for each candidate to deter
mine for himself, but it occurs to us
that The Enquirer's plan imposes lot
of unnecessary hardship and expense
on the candidate and no little worry
and bother on the people. Necessarily
the greater part of a house to house
canvass has TO be made during the
farmers busiest season, and to be i'll
terrupted in his work from time to
time by some thirty or forty different
candidates is no small matter. The
country is more populous now than 1t
was years ago when the house to
house" plan was in vogue, and to
visit every home now would indeed be
a big undertaking. To be at all effec-
tive the house canvass would have to-
be thorough. that is to say, every mans
place would have to be visited, other
wise the candidate might lose more
votes than he gains, for many a man
would consider that he had been slight
ed were a candidate to call on his
neighbors and pass him by. But, as
S+a ted this iS something for the can
didates to decide for themselves.
