Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1909-09-24
EXPLAINED AT LAST.

During the rather heated county
campaign of three years ago, just af-
ter the candidates had spoken at Clo-
yer, The Enquirer Of August 21, 1906,
printed the following:
Mr.. Wylie Of the state hoard Of dis
pensary directors was on the G. & NJ
w. train yesterday morning, going to-
ward Gastonia, and between Yorkville
and Glover he said in the presence Of
DR.. J. e. Massey and Mr.. F. P. Nc
Cain, who were going to Glover with
the county campaign party, that the
state dispensary has always been cor
rupt and It is as corrupt now as 1t
ever has been. He said that the state
board is corrupt; but he Is only one
man against two and cannot help him
self. He cited that recently, over his
protest, the two other members Of the
board had purchased 1000 cases of
so-called whisky. Upon the arrival Of
the whisky he, Wylie, insisted on hav-
ing ii analyzed. The analysis showed
"a per cent Of alcohol and the balance
was various kinds of chemicals. AS
the result Of the analysis, and Mr..
Wylie's threatening to make a fuss,
and Mr.. Mccain both repeated Mr..
Wylie's statement to them in their
speeches at Glover.
Immediately after this publication
Mr.. Wylie ran to the Columbia pa
pers, and said that he had been mis-
understood; that he had talked some,
but that he had never dreamed Of
charging his fellow-members Of the
board with corruption. DR.. ]. e. Mas
sey, Mr.. F. P. Mccain and DR.. ]. H.
Saye came out In written statements
in which they substa-,tiated every
thing in the above paragraph, DR..
Massey adding further that Wylie had
gone on to declare that Jim Farnum
was still selling beer to the dispensary
and giving his rebates, etc. At that
time there was an effort to make it
appear that Drs. Saye and Massey
were misrepresenting Wylie for polit-
ical purposes. The court record that
is now being made in Columbia, shows
who was telling the truth.

Master Sam HARNESS of Yorkvills

Master Sam Hartness Of Yorkville,
has sent The Enquirer evidence of the
curious doings Of one of his hens In
the form of an egg, on one side of
which is emblazoned, what might be
taken as a fairly good representation
of the sun as 1t is shown in the aver
age specimen Of Japanese art.
Sutton's Springs Union is one Of the
local organizations of the Farmers Un-
ion of York county that has kept its
dues paid up and which continues in
good standing. This Union, Of which
Mr.. N. s. Black Is president, meets to-
night for the purpose Of putting itself
in good working order again. There
are probably several other such I'm
ions in the county, and If 80. they
have only to resume work and furnish
a basis for q quick Reorganization.
"of all the health-wreckins and life
destroying drugs" says the Greenville
News, cocaine Is the easiest to use
and thousands are today the victims
of it. It Is bought as a solid white
substance, which Is crushed into a
white powder that Is shifted up the
nose like snuff. From all accounts 1t
is one of the most exhilarating Of
drugs, but there are terrible reactions
and finally the 'fiend' Is such a nervous
wreck that he is compelled to use 1t
constantly to experience any comfort,
but in the end there are complications
and he dies a miserable death. The
North American is authority for the
statement that in Philadelphia 1t has
been proved in open court that scores
of boys and girls are addicted to the
cocaine habit; that peddlers Of the
drug have even approached the pupils
Of the public schools, and that 1t can
be purchased in almost any part Of
the city's tenderloin district. The po-
lice officials Of Philadelphia have
learned that one result Of the use Of
the drug is to inspire the 'fiends' with
a desire to make others use 1t, and In
most cases they tempt children of
tender age. In the schools for thieves
the police discovered that the drug
was extensively used, because 1t was
the most potent Of the corrupting in
fluences necessary for the education Of
the juvenile pickpocket and sneak
thief. In view Of the fact that the
civilized nations Of the world are now
helping to free China from the curse
Of opium, the leading newspapers Of
this country are beginning to look at
things nearer home, with the result
that they are urging congress to so
regulate the sale Of cocaine as to
prevent its use except for strictly
medicinal purposes"
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1909-09-24

many troops would be present In
addition to the troops already prom
ised, however, two companies have in
dicated their intention to come from
Augusta, Ca, and another from Man
ming, S. C. Following Col. Coward's
statement, Congressman Webb said he
was reasonably certain Of at least four
companies from North Carolina. and
thought there would be more, and
with these and the Federal troops, who
are coming, 1t will be entirely practi-
cable to reproduce the battle Of Kings
Mountain on the day following the
celebration proper.
Mr.. A. G. Lizard, chairman Of the
committee on transportation, repeated
the information as to what had been
done with reference to transporting
people to and from the battle-ground,
and urged that prospective visitors,
who were depending upon the COM
mittee, should advise them as far as
possible in advance. This is especial
ly important, he said, because the
transportation facilities Of the entire
surrounding country are likely to be
taxed to their utmost capacity.
There being no member Of the A.
nance committee present, Col. Coward
took occasion to advise the meeting
that up to the present time, only about
one-third Of the amount actually need
ed for the purposes in view had been
subscribed, and urged all the men,
mers Of the committee to make a
strenuous campaign this week to raise
the needed funds.
The motion looking to the holding Of
the next meeting in Blacksburg, was
offered by Congressman Webb. wno
requested the secretary to notify all
Of the members and urge a full at
tendance.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1909-09-24

In the death Of Governor John A
johnson Of Minnesota, the people of
the United States have lost man for
whose life they have a right to re-
joice and whose death they have good
cause to mourn. Governor Johnson
was a good man and a great man
one who strived for that which was
right, who stood for square deal in
all things, and who commanded the
unbounded respect and esteem Of his
fellowmen. He was a politician, of
course. All public men are necessarily
politicians; but he was politician,
statesmanship. There was nothing
tricky about him. His strong char
acteristics were good, hard sense and
loyalty to right and justice. To a
greater extent perhaps than any other
man who has ever lived in America
he enjoyed the confidence of both po-
litical parties of his state and this
fact is to be taken as the best evil
dence of his unimpeachable integrity
Such men, of course, are not uncom-
mon, and we would not say that it Is
uncommon to find them conspicuous
in public life; but they are in such
marked contrast with the vast major
ity of mere time servers, who are
constantly seeking and obtaining
preferment, that the country canno;
afford to let them pass without due
consideration of their splendid SER
vices in shaping the course Of man.
kind to better and higher things.
