CELEBRATION OF THE FOURTH.

Yorkville was alive yesterday with
throngs Of happy, good natured people,
gathered from all parts Of the country
to participate in and enjoy the pro-
gramme that had been arranged by
the local camp Of Woodmen Of the
World for their entertainment.
The people came from every quar-
ter of the county. All Of the in
coming trains of the morning
brought in crowded coaches, and
there was a constant inpouring from
all the public roads leading into the
town from an early hour in the morn
ing on up to 10 or II o'clock in the
day. Because all the crowd was never
together at any one time, 1t is not
practicable to arrive at more than an
approximate estimate OF the total num-
ber of visitors, but the most popular
estimate seemed to be between five
and six thousand.
And it was q thoroughly, well-behav-
ed crowd. The people generally brought
their good nature with them. They
seemed to enter fully into the spirit
Of the occasion, that 1t was just big
:nerrymaking; that they were on an
equal footing with the local people
from every standpoint; that every
body had a right to do very much as
they pleased; that those who might
fail to enjoy themselves had nobody
but themselves to blame And so feel
ing, each individual constituted him.
self a committee Of one on entertain
ment.
The leading feature Of the day as
stated and described elsewhere, was
the parade, and after the parade the
crowd took no less interest in the 9TH
er features, the cracker race, the catch
ing of the greasy pig, the tournament
and the baseball.
The cracker race took place on Con-
gress street between the York Drug
store and the court house, immediate
fy after the parade. The entries were
Perry Ashe, Andral Rose, Howard Nc
Mackin, Roy Marley, Tom Moore, Joe
Moore, Blakeney Plexico, Robert Fin
ley, VIM. Meek Allison, States Finley,
Withers Grist. All were off at the
word and when the boys sat down
and commenced munching their ten
crackers at the half way point, the
crowds of people that lined the way
had fun that seemed to be we'll worth
the price Of admission. Roy Marley
Of Yorkville, was the winner.
The tournament took place on a ridge
about a quarter Of a mile to the rear
of the graded school building and was
witnessed by several thousand people
present; but not nearly all Of them
were able to see the riding, because too
many of them insisted on trying to get
too close. The entries were: Jas. H.
Beckham, H. D. Marley, James Simril,
A. S. Barron, John E. Jackson, York
vile; ]. p. Allison and Croswell
Slaughter, Hickory Grove. Messrs.
w. B. McGill, f. w. Williams and J..
l.. Sanders acted as judges. The first
prize was won by Mr.. A. S. Barron,
who took eight out Of a possible nine
rings. The second prize was won by
James H. Beckham with seven rings
and the third prize was taken by j. P.
Allison after running off five ring
tie with Slaughter.

day OF yesterday, the spectators TAX.
ing both days off for holidays.
The MeConneIIsville baseball team
defeated the Yorkville team at Nc
Connellsbille last Friday by score Of
Is to 9.
Tho Glover baseball team played
Rock Hill on the Rock Hill grounds
yesterday, and won the game by 6
score of to 2.
Il is a splendid portrait Of George
Washington that The Enquirer is able
to present today, this most appropriate
occasion for its presentation.
A considerable amount Of cotton has
been abandoned throughout the coun.
ty on account Of the grass and some
Of the fields have been sown in peas.
As usual, the most unsatisfactory
thing about the advance In the price Of
cotton, is the fact that it did not take
place until after most Of the producers
had let go their holdings.
The dramatic entertainment given
at the Glover opera house last Friday
night for the benefit Of the baseball
team was largely attended and was
quite a success from every standpoint
including financially.
Interest in the picnic at Filbert on
July "a, is growing, and there Is every
prospect that there will be a tremend-
GUS crowd in attendance. The COM
mittee of arrangements promises a
good band, some instructive speeches
political and non political and plenty
Of refreshments.
The shortage in the accounts Of the
treasurer Of Rock Hill, reminds the
writer of some observations that a
prominent business man Of that city
made to him something over two years
ago. The observations were not sug-
gested by any suspicion Of irregular
tiles in the finances Of the town at tb1
time. If there were any then, he did
not know 1t, or at least gave no inti-
nation. His observation was about
to this effect: There should be stat
utory requirement that every town in
the state Of 1000 inhabitants or over
should have it's books examined an
nually by the American Audit compa-
ny, or some other equally responsible
auditing authority. This custom OF
auditing by committees is generally
perfunctory and farcial. In the first
place, committees are seldom compe-
tent to do the work, and in the second
place, even If they find something
wrong, there Is not more than one
chance out of a hundred that they will
have the nerve to report It, When a
local auditing committee, especially a
committee that Is friendly to all par
ties concerned, begins to run upon
something crooked, the chances are
nine out of ten, it will begin to look
the other way, call in the party who
Is being investigated, take and accept
his own explanations and excuses, and
let it go at that, never for once think
ing that If there has really been crook
edness they thus become parties to
whatever guilt may have attached to
the individual under investigation. OF
course, the strongest objection that
can be urged against turning such
matters over to audit companies, is
the expense; but as a matter of fact
this objection is only a superficial one
Experience has shown that the peri
odical auditing Of the books Of both
public and private corporations, in
variably saves far more than it costs

YES, the workers on The Enquirer
would have been glad to have joined
everybody else in taking holiday
Yesterday; but the trouble was that
today is not a holiday, and If those
whose business it Is to make the news
paper had not worked yesterday, there
would be no paper today.

KING DAVID LOOKS WELL;
ALSO INDIAN QUEEN

Acting Manager L. n. Morrison reports
the shaft at The King David down to
depth of 40 feet, with lead splattered all
through the material in the bottom. On
the 2J0-foOt level the drift that Is being
sent out 10 get the contact is now 225 feet
in length, and Mr.. Morrison states that
there is now less than fifty feet to drive.
The face Of this crOsscut is also splat-
tered through with lead, and everything
looks most promising for the opening up
of an ore body. Conditions at this prop
erty are believed to be even better than
the reports which are given out indicate.
Manager David Evans has always been
disposed TO keep wrong impression CON
corning property conditions from being
described The acting manager seems to
be using even greater care, for it required
a cOrkscrew to worm the information con-
tanned in this paragraph out of him.
Questioned on conditions at the Indian
Queen, mr.. Morrison said the deep tunnel
had attained a length Of over 300 feet
and the face was in a fine. open fOrma-
ton that was filled with spar and bug
holes carrying iron and other unerring
signs of an Ore-bearing region close at
hand At q depth of loco feet from the
mouth of the tunnel a raise is now Deins

that gives promise of developing some
