Within THE TOWN.

- There is more cotton being stored
just now than is being put on the
market. This was the opinion ex-
pressed by the cotton man last week.
The opera house was filled again
last night Oh account of st. Elmo, and
the audience was thoroughly pleased
with the play as presented. The next
attraction to be offered by Manager
Johnson will be a first-class minstrel
show.
Rev. u. H. Wardlaw, missionary tc
Cuba, occupied the pulpit Of the First
PRESBYTERIAN church last Sunday
morning and told a large congregation
about religious conditions in the island
devotirg himself more especially tc
the priest ridden condition Of the peo-
ple and the general grating that is
practiced by the Roman Catholic
clergy.
Three Of the four handsome busi-
ness rooms of the McNeel building are
engaged. One is to be occupied by the
Loan and Savings bank, one by the
Yorkville Hardware company and the
other by Mr.. J. Q. Wray. Mr.. j. M
Stroup is expecting to open business In
the store now occupied by Mr.. Wray
There are rumors about town that
new bank is to be organized to occupy
the room to be vacated by the Loar
and Savings bank; but there is nothing
definite to be announced as to this al
this time.
The flower growers of Yorkvillt
and country surrounding are looking
forward with pleasant anticipation tc
the eighth annual chrysanthemun
show, to be held in the court house by
the Floral Society of the Presbyterian
church next Friday. In connection
with the show, as announced, refresh
ments will be served and in the even
ing there will be a delightful farce
comedy. This occasion has never YET
failed to prove a big success, and there
is no reason to look for an exception
next Friday. On the contrary, the
public may consider itself as having
a positive guarantee of a pleasant anC
profitable time.
The Piedmont Telephone company
is moving against deadhead users ol
the phones. The complaint of the tel
ephone company is that in many cases
private residence phones are uset
more by the neighbOrs than by thu
people who pay rent on them. This
the telephone people claim gives the
central office work to do far out n
proportion to the returns from phone
rents. The movement against dead:
head users of the phones was started ir
Yorkville only recently. The article
from the Cherokee News in another
column gives the result of visit thai
Manager Darlington made to Gaffney
last week to adjust matters.

In Aiken the other day, Judge Mem
minger remarked that the jury box is
the poorest place imaginable to pay
debts of friendship; by which he meant
that it is the duty of the juror to try
to do justice rather than reach concur
sions intended to favor friends. His
honor's remark suggests that he ap-
preciates a deplorable tendency that
many observant people have been no.
ticing for a long time. The juror VINO
allows himself to be influenced by con-
siderations other than the law and the
evidence is a poor excuse for man;
bur who is going to deny that there are
not such.

THE CREAMERY.

It is handsome little plant that the
Yorkville Creamery association has to
begin operations with on November,
complete in every detail and every
thing first-class
The building Is not very large, only
about 30X50 feet: but ii is constructed
of first class material, well put togeth-
er and thoroughly adapted to the use
for which it is intended.
There is a business office, weighing
office, an engine and boiler room, big
refrigerator and a general operating
room, as we'll as a fuel room and a
plunder room. The floor Of the gen
eral operating room is of concrete, and
slopes to a drainage channel In the
centre in such way that 1t may be
quickly and thoroughly cleaned by
means of a stream from a hose, the
necessary water coming from bored
well. which furnishes an ample supply.
The machinery and appliances con-
sist of a 1O-horse boiler and engine, a
big cream separator, a milk tester,
cream and skim milk watts, a churn
that will hold in the neighborhood or
200 gallons, and other up-to- date in
ventions that go to make up the COM
plete modern dairy.
The ARRANGEMENTS for handling the
milk to be brought by customers Is au-
tomato. The customer pours his milk
into a large vessel on finely adjusted
pair of scales. After the weighing the
milk goes to the separator, from thence
the cream into one reservoir and the
skim milk to another. The customer:
on delivering his milk, is given a
slotted disk of iron with the total
number of pounds marked on 1t, ana
when this disk is afterward deposited
in an automatic delivery box, the skim
milk to which he is entitled is poured
out to him in the vessel brought to re-
ceive it.
The creamery is located in a very
sanitary spot on hillside that affords
perfect drainage, and as stated the
whole plant Is all that could be desired.

HOME MADE FERTILIZERS.

Now that the farmers of York
county have gone a long way toward
stopping the drain to which they have
long subjected themselves in going to
the west after corn" remarked York
VILE business man to the reporter yes
terday, the next big saving. to which
they should turn their attention is in
the matter of fertilizers.
II do not remember the figures as to
the amount of commercial fertilizers
used in this county. but they go up into
the hundreds of thousands of dollars
unless | am mistaken, and it is alto
gether unnecessary. Don't understand
me to say that the use of fertilizers Is
unnecessary. | have farmed too long
to he such a fool as that: but what /
mean to say is that all this outgo for
fertilizer is unnecessary. The people
should produce their fertilizers at home
as they are doing their corn, and some
of them their wheat and oats.
Commercial fertilizers are not
cheap: but still they are easy to get
and there lies the trouble. 1t is so
now-a- days that many farmer who
wants To plant only little patch will
send to the store and buy sack OF
commercial fertilizer, rather than rake
up its equivalent in barn yard manure,
muck, trash ana OlncT Slull llldt IL go
ing to waste and which can be had at
practically no expense.
we did not know it years ago-the
general public did nOt-because th2
information was not So easily aValla-
BILE and there was not time TO read and
think; but now most farmers are be-
ginning to understand that by saving
stable manure, rotating their crops,
blowing intclligently and using proper
means generally. they can build up
their lands at practically no actual
money cost and i'm few years get bet
ter results than have ever been pOssi-
ble from commercial fertilizers.
Commercial fertilizers pay, of
course; but people who will figure the
matter out will find that they do not
pay anything like as well as seems to

1t is funny the amount of knocking
the local creamery has been getting,
even before ii has had an opportunity
to show what it can and will do; but
among the stockholders are a number
of good business men, who have faith
in the enterprise and who say that the
creamery will be what we make it,"
These have the right view. OF course.
the creamery is not going to succeed
unless those interested feed and milk
enough COWS to furnish an adequate
supply of milk. Everybody under
stands that. But why can't the COWS
be had? We see no reason why this
difficulty cannot be obviated, and we
believe II will be obviated.

appear without any figuring. The i'm
provement of land by rotation, the
sowing and plowing under of cover
crops, and intelligent plowing is always
along permanent lines and the farmer
who pursues this system finds himself
better off each year than he was the
year previous. The making of crops
by the use of commercial fertilizers
alone finds a man each year just where
he was the year before, and he must
make another heavy outlay for fertil-
iZers before he can hope to make an
other crop.
1T is an expensive and wasteful pol
icy, this depending altogether on COM
mercial fertilizers. and five or ten years
of careful attention to the Improvement
of lands by common sense, scientific
methods would put the country where
a man who would buy commercial fer
tilizers except for a purely temporary
experiment, would be regarded as a
crank or a fool"
