Tariff Reform Issue Pushed,

While under the influence of Joseph
Chamberlain tariff reform was pushed
forward as the unionists' leading plank,
on this question the party presents a
divided front. Austen Chamberlain and
various unofficial influences in the par
ty going boldly out for the taxation
OF food, while Mr.. Balfour declined to
commit himself beyond the vague
pledge that tariff reform should not
have the effect Of enhancing the cost
of living to the working classes.
Mr.. Balfour has left his position open
to strong attack from his opponents
because he has not given the slightest
indication OF the details of his intend
ed tariff, except that he committed
himself to the assurance that no duty
would be placed on raw cotton.
The campaign has been notable be-
yond all previous election struggles in
England in the extensive use of pic
ture posters and similar devices. The
tariff reformers even opened shops In
different districts in order to display
samples Of foreign imports dumped,
into England. This led to amusing in
cidents-among them the discovery in
one case that an alleged American
chair really had been made in London.

Dr. Wiley. temporarily have released

pose of getting a fresh grip. The So
called reduction in meats is fictitious.
The manipulation was deliberate, just
as the increase in prices was unjust.
unreasonable and uncalled for by con-
ditions prevailing throughout the
country. The prices were fictitious
at the top notch because they were
forced there arbitrarily by the inter-
ests Developments will show that
the interests are after some one. 1t
may be some independent movement

retary Wilson said today that the an
nounced reduction in prices was alb
normal. He said it was due to the
fact that the drought in the cattle
raising country had increased the cost
of hay The farmer with cattle on
his hands must pay S35 a ton for his
hay and rather than do this he was
sending the cattle and sheep to mar
ket. This accounted for the sudden
decrease in price, he said. This tum-
BILE is not all normal and will not all

Wilson, but the plentiful corn crop
will enable the farmers to feed freely
and we should be at a lower level of
prices. Lower prices are certain to
come, because there is no agreement
to fix prices no combination between

upon which no sensible man should
waste his time. Not one farmer in
twenty made enough corn to feed his
own stock. Nineteen out of twenty
bought their corn from the west, and
also practically all Of their meat. Now
a-days the farmer who has two mules
and no disk harrow feels himself at a
serious disadvantage, and improved
plows have grown so common as to
be the rule rather than the exception.
The man who tries to farm on western
corn is looked upon as being in need of
a guardian.
But as much progress as York coun-
ty has made in the last twenty years,
the progress of the future is far more
promising. Our farmers, our manufac-
turers, our merchants, our bankers are
only beginning to learn how to do
things. The leaders in all lines are
ten-fold more experienced and more
efficient than they were twenty years
ago, and there has never been time in
the history of the country when they
had more confidence in the future.
The county is growing at a rate that
few people have any appreciation Of,
and those who have failed to wake up
to the fact are in serious danger of
being lost in the shuttle.

- There is no one thing that can be
suggested that is better calculated to
make the town of Yorkville grow than
to get the site of the town into as
many hands as possible.
-Yorkville people have fairly high
appreciation of Yorkville real estate.
When the lots opened up by the sale Of
the w. H. Herndon property, are de-
veloped, there will be room for con-
siderably more population than the
town now has.
Those lots that were sold in York
vile last Tuesday are today easily
worth 20 per cent more than they
brought at auction. Distribution among
so many owners and the prospect of
early development add to their value.

There are several tracts in York

the best thing the owners can do, is to
have them surveyed, marked and de-

to the public demand.

THE GENERAL ELECTION.

The boards of commissioners of
state, county and Federal elections
met in Yorkville Tuesday for the pur-
pose of canvassing the returns from the
various precincts in the county for the
election of November 8: but did not
complete their work until Wednesday.
The board of commissioners of state
and county elections, is composed OF
P. M. Burris, chairman; ]. B. Neil and
]. r. Gettys, and the board of COM
missioners of Federal elections Is COM
posed of r. w. Whitesides, chairman
III. NJ. Dunlap and D. G. Kimball. They
found the returns Of the various pre-
cinct managers in good shape, and al
though they found considerable task
in making up their reports, this was
entirely due to the amount OF clerical
work involved.
The canvass showed that the total
vote for congress in the county was only
496, and the total vote for state and
county officers was only $40. The total
vote on the nine constitutional amend
ments that had been submitted fol-
consideration by the general assembly
was very light, ranging from only n
on the amendment applying to the city
Of Aiken to 292 on the amendmen,
proposing to increase the number OF
supreme court judges from four to five
and to extend the term Of office from
four to five years.
In the statement below will be found
the total vote for governor at the va
rious precincts in the county, the vote
for congress and the Yes" and NO
vote on the proposition to increase the
number Of justices Of the supreme

TO ClUBM MAKERS.

You can greatly facilitate the cler-
ical work in connection with the en-
tering of names, If you will kindly OBJ
serve the following:
1. Write the name and address as
plainly as you can.
Q. Be sure to give the number OF
the route If the subscriber lives on
route.
3. If the subscriber Is now taking
the paper, mark the name with an co..
If he Is not now taking the paper; but
his name is going down on the list for
the first time mark it with an (N).
4. If the subscriber is now taking
the paper, please return 1t in the same
name that appears on the present
label. If returned in a different name,
the result is confusion.
It is an easy matter for the club
maker to get all this information and
incorporate in his order. In a case,
however, where a name Is entered as
Ben Smith when he Is already getting
a paper as J. B. Smith, there Is danger
Of sending two papers to the same
man. It is the same when an address
is given as Glover, and the subscriber
lives on one of the rural delivery
routes. Such errors are eventually
corrected; but often it is not until af-
ter there has been a great deal of trou-

AUCTION SALE OF LOTS.

The auction sale of the Herndon
lanyard property in town lots last
Tuesday, demonstrated quite num-
Der Of things, not the least important
of which was that Yorkville people are
beginning to arise to proper appre-
citation of Yorkville real estate.
In all, ninety-nine lots, that are in
cluded in a tract Of twenty-three acres
were offered for sale and all OF them
were largely snapped up in little less
than three hours at prices ranging
from SIS to 1925, with the total sales
aggregating around $4,000.
1t was farm land-Ordinary farm
land--having been used for farming
during more years than any of those
present could count, and at the pres
ent time carrying the stripped cotton
and corn stalks Of this years crop. 1t
is pretty rough, too. That is most OF
it is rough. There are some pretty
building sites included; but many OF
the lots are not altogether desirable
for building. They are more or less
swampy and are traversed by small
streams. But the location is good
capital. Many of the prettiest resi-
dences in town are as far away from
the court house.
There had been some little develop
ment for this especial sale-not great
deal; but enough to give the idea OF
town property. The development in
cuded the opening and breaking out
of several new streets. and the setting
of stakes that showed the relation of
the lots to the streets and to each 9TH

of its having been tampered with. But
when they reach the consignee, large
proportion of the gallon packages con-
