AT last the North Pole has been
found and by an American, who has
marked the spot with the flag. Just
what the practical value Of the
achievement is, 1t would be difficult to
define; but there is no doubt of the
fact that there is a large measure OF
satisfaction in it to the whole world
All true Americans are broad enough
to have rejoiced at the success Of any
body of any nationality; but they
have a right to even greater rejoicing
in the fact that it was an American
who did the thing at last. The first
news Of the discovery was published
in the afternoon papers Of Wednesday;
but the full story, as told by the doc
tor himself, did not come out until
yesterday morning. 1t Is reproduced
on the first page Of today's issue as 1t
first appeared in the Paris edition of
the New York Herald yesterday. The
understanding is that scientists every
where, accept DR.. Cooks statement as
true, and his story is being
confirmed by kilograms and cables
from as far north as civilization ex-
tends.

AVIATION Week" came to its off,
cial close at Rheims on last Tuesday.
A gala breakfast was given by the
committee Of organization in honor of
the aviators. There were over 500
guests present. Bleriot attended with
his arm in a sling, as a result Of his
accident Monday, and he and Glenn
H. Curtiss, the American; Henry Far
man, the Englishman; and Hubert
Latham and Louis Paulhan, the
French flyers, received ovations, the
assemblage rising again and again to
cheer them. The meeting at Rheims
has been an enormous success finan-
cially. There were over 100000 people
paid entries to the Aerodrome Monday,
and probably 100000 more people wit
messed the flights from the hills out
side the main course. The aeroplane
companies took orders for fifty-two
during the week, most of them from
persons not before interested in avia-
ton. This fact alone proves how
powerfully the imagination has been
affected by the wonderful scenes wit
messed here. Manufacturers believe
that sportsmen of every country will
now begin to buy aeroplanes, particu-
larly as the number of actual flights
here during the week, estimated at
over 1900, were without a single fatal
accident. This demonstrates that fly
ing is no more dangerous than was
automobiling in its early stages. The
cost Of the different machines ranges
from $4,000 to $4,000. Speaking of his
flight for height, Latham said that af-
ter he had reached an altitude Of 500
feet his engine, due perhaps to the
height, missed fire continually and
made it impossible for him to drive
his machine higher. When asked
what he would have done had his mo-
tor stopped, he answered.: II should
have glided to the ground. I felt no
apprehension whatever"

WITHIN THE TOWN.

The local business people are now
ready for the opening Of the fall trade.
- The first bale Of this years cotton
for the Yorkville market was brought
last Wednesday by Mr.. Darby, man
ager Of the A. E. Willis place and sold
to Latta Bros, for IA cents. 1t weigh
ed 597 pounds.
AT a meeting Of the board Of trus-
tees of the Yorkville Graded school
district last Tuesday afternoon, the
action, whereby at former meeting
a part of the school grounds was sold,
was reconsidered and reversed.
Mr.. B. n. Moore has collected
from the different local buyers, figures
showing the receipts Of wagon cotton
in Yorkville from Sept l, 1908, to
September 1, 1909. The aggregate Is
15,O24 bales, considerably the largest
in the history of Yorkville as cotton
market.
Citizens interested have subscrib-
ed about 800 with which to fix up
North Congress street from the inter-
section of Charlotte and Kings Noun
tain streets to the mile post, and the
town Is meeting this sum with at
least a similar amount. This portion
Of the street has been in bad condition
for many years.
- When it was first determined to
take up and crush the heavy cobble
stones in Congress street and put
them back in the shape of modern
macadam, many people thought that
there would be an abundance OF
stones for the purpose and some to
spare. But the crushed material is
going down more compactly than
when it was loose, and there will not
be more than enough Of the original
paving to macadamize four-fifths of
the street.
After a pretty thorough test of the
respective merits of the two steam
rollers that have been under demon
stration in Yorkville for the past ten
days, with a view to a sale to the
town, the town council, on Tuesday
afternoon got down to business, and
bought the Kelly roller for $2,350. The
Case roller was offered for $2,375. The
purchase includes the roller complete
with plow and harrow. The purchase
was made on the idea that now that
the town has inaugurated a street
making campaign, it will be kept up
indefinitely, and the steam roller will
be kept in almost continuous use.
- While people have different opin-
ions as to the success of the season
as a whole. 1t Is fact that Yorkv!lle
has enjoyed more good baseball this
summer at less expense than the town
has ever known before. 1t has
not been altogether satisfactory, be-
cause the local team has won so few
games. OF course, all reasonable peO-
pie understand that everybody cannot
win all the time: but then most peo-
pie have a feeling that they should
win a part of the time, and the fact
that Yorkville has been such persist
ent loser takes away somewhat from
the pleasure of it all. That the local
management has been perfect. we are
not prepared to say; but it has been
better than any the town has had up
to this season. The idea was to have
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1909-09-03

as much good amateur ball as possible,
and the effort has been to use all the
local material possible. In some Of
the games the local players have ac-
quilted themselves quite creditably;
but as to whether the record as a
whole has been good, there is differ
ence of opinion. There Is a feeling
that there has been less discipline
than was absolutely necessary to sue
cess. There is a feeling that many Of
the players are so taken up with their
own extra good opinion Of themselves,
that they cannot appreciate the still
greater importance Of the success OF
the club as a whole. There are those
who, when stood aside for other play
ers who, in the judgment Of the man
agement were better. took offense and
rooted for the other side. There was
not that harmony and shoulder to
shoulder effort that there should have
been. But the season as a whole has
been profitable. 1t has awakened a
healthy local interest in baseball, and
there Is reason to believe that there
will be a stronger and more unanimous
effort next year for still better ball,
and more Of it. There are those who
are determined that Yorkville shall
have a winning team, and IL they just
continue to pull together until next
season, they will get 1t.

THE prohibition law, as 1t now
stands, the work Of the state-widers'
so-called, but really the former state
dispensary supporters, does not strike
US as being intended to promote pro-
hibition. On the contrary, We think
it was intended to create a revulsion
of sentiment in favor Of liquor, and
we think it very we'll calculated to
thousands Of people who are opposed
to the indiscriminate sale OF liquor
there are thousands who recognize
and believe that liquor has certain
legitimate uses. These people in
clude many who feel that they can
without inconsistency take a drink OF
liquor when they want it, and they in
sist on that privilege. Whether they
take liquor or not, they are unwilling
to give up the right to have 1t about
them so long as it is to be gotten. All
people who stand for real temperance
recognize this situation, and no we'll
balanced friend Of temperance Is dis
posed to disregard it. We think the
present act was passed without very
careful consideration, and while we
would like to see it stand, if we believ-
ed it possible of enforcement edo moi
believe it possible of enforcement and
we think 1t should be revised to the
limits Of reason, else it will soon en-
force the return to the indisciminate
legal sale of liquor, a condition that
has been shown contrary to the well
fare of the people.
