The sharp drop in the temperature
Wednesday is to be taken as a remind
or. that after all there will be need Of
heavier clothes.
Mr.. C. H. Smith Of Yorkville No. 4,
this year made 50 bushels and 80
pounds of corn Oh an acre. The corn
was measured by Mr. r. L. Devinney
There seems to be but little anxiety
among the farmers as to the price OF
cotton. The offerings Of snots have
been light during the past two weeks.
The Spartanburs city council some
time ago, imposed license tax on
the newspapers of the city. The new
council that recently went into office,
repealed the ordinance imposing the
tax.
There is some talk Of dividing the
South Carolina conference into two
conferences. The question will prob
ably receive consideration at the an
nual meeting in Abbeville next month.
The Federal government is after the
sugar trust with a sharp stick. seeking
to recover some thirty millions OF dol
lars. alleged to have been stolen by
means Of short weights and other mis-
representations at the custom house.
Mr.. T. J. Nichols Of Yorkville No. 6,
gave his annual corn shuckins last
Wednesday night. AS usual, there
was a big pile of corn to shuck, big
crowd Of neighbors and friends to do
it, and such a supper as is seldom en-
loved except at Mr.. Nichols's annual
shuckings.
In renewing his subscription yester-
day, friend from the Tirzah neigh
borhood said: II just want you to know
that 1 consider The Enquirer the mic

have not done without 1t for years,
and I could not think of doing without
it,"
We believe it is a fact that with the
Improvement in the "rice Of cotton and
,thel agricultural products, there is
Improvement in the intelligence, and
business judgment of the farmers.
There is not near the disposition to
plant nothing but cotton, that there
used to be, and We believe that a larg-
er per cent of our farmers are actually
beginning to give serious consideration
to cattle, hogs and other live stock.
Quite number of partridge hunters
have been out during the week; but
generally they have found the dogs
unable to work very well, and the birds
hard to find by reason Of the drynesN
and unkilled vegetation. There is a
common opinion that birds are quite
plentiful this year: but land owners
seem to be growing less tolerant Of
shooting. Many of them are insisting
that there must be no hunting on their
premises without permission, and 9TH
ers will not allow hunting at all.
Mr.. o. 3. Martin, who is DR..
Knapp's assistant in the Boys Demon
stration work. is anxious to get the
boys of York county interested in rails
ing corn and other crops in competi-
tion for prizes. and he and Prof. Ira w.
williams have under consideration
plans to secure the cooperation Of Su-
perintendent of Education McMackin.
Mr.. McMackin will gladly take hold of
the work; but can hardly afford to
take it up unless the delegation in the
general assembly. or agricultural de-
partment will provide the money to
pay the expense that will necessarily
be involved in visiting the different sec
tions of the county. The boys work has
been making fine progress in other
counties, and 1t is hoped that 1t will
be inaugurated in this county.
