Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1909-03-02

ed at Clifton, Tenn, as the slayer OF
Policeman w. A. Monroe at Salisbury
turned out to be the wrong man.
The county board of supervisors Of
registration was in session yesterday;
but did very little business, as the peo-
nile are not paying much attention to
voting at this time.
At a meeting Of the Hard Yarn
Spinners' association in Charlotte the
other day, a committee was appointed
to draw up plans for reducing produc-
ton one-third for three months.
Rev. r. c. Belts Of Pittsburg, Pa.
preached two sermons in the AS
sociate Reformed church at Yorkville
last Sunday, and able sermons they
were, enjoyed by everybody who heard
them. Mr.. Belts is a son Of the late
Rev. C. B. Belts, for many years pas
tor of Neely's Creek and Richburg
churches, and a minister of great pow
er and usefulness.
There is quite lot of interest In the
York county road law as the same
now stands. We have heard very lit
tie commentator Of 1t, most OF the
dissatisfaction being with that feature
that provides for paid township super
visors and paid overseers. The feeling
is that too large a proportion OF me
pay will go for supervision. The COM
ments We have heard on the personne
of the board of township supervisors
are generally very favorable. Under al
the circumstances, it seems that II
would be we'll to withhold criticism un-
til there has been an opportunity tc
see the practical operation Of the law
What has been done has been done
and there is no help for that part OF
it. 1t is quite probable that the ex-
listing system will prove much more
effective than many suppose. At any
rate, we feel quite sure that there is
no better way of solving the problem
than for every citizen to cooperate to
the best of his ability, and If supposed
weaknesses prove real weaknesses, lie,
them be corrected in a way that will
ensure the greatest actual improve
ment.
The Enquirer had a much apprecia-
ted visit last week from Mr.. Joseph B
Chambers of the Union Progress. Joe
is not the editor Of Progress; but
he is one of the most important men
connected with that excellent paper
He is Editor Nicholsons right hand
and a most capital right hand he Is
We have known printers and printers;
but not many like Joe Chambers. lie
is originally from Bullock's Greek
township and went to Union green
country boy to learn the printing trade
with Progress. He took to the busi-
ness just like a duck takes to water
and in the course Of a few years be-
came proficient in every department
Then when Progress decided to install
a linotype, Joe came over to Yorkville
to learn the machine. He remained
here something like six weeks, perhaps
not quite so long, went back home
erected the machine that had just ar
rived and has been keeping it going
ever since. He has never known what
it was to get stuck" because he is
not that kind Of a young man. But
and it is with much pleasure that we
say it, he enjoyed his stay in York
willie enough to want to come back, and
when he showed up for two days
stay last week, We were as glad to
have him as he was to be here. And
how did we entertain him? Had that
been his preference, We would have
taken him hunting, or riding, or done
anything in our power to contribute to
his pleasure, but the truth is he en-
tertained himself. He wanted nothing
save to help make the wheels go round,
to feed the presses, to rush out work, to
smell printers ink. In fact Joe is an
ideal kindred spirit, and If he does not
make his mark in the printing business
some day, we are badly mistaken in
orr estimate of him.
