Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1910-12-30
The Work of 1911.

This is the last issue of The York
vile Enquirer for 1910. and it follows
that the next issue will be the first for
1911.
The past year has been a prosperous
one with The Yorkville Enquirer, and
we have no cause for complaint at the
treatment we have received at the
hands of either subscribers or adver-
tisers, and although it is possible that
it may be otherwise, we have no reason
to believe that our patrons are any
less pleased with us than we are with
them.
We think that The Enquirer is q
good family newspaper that is giving
value received. We know that we
have been doing the very best we
could to give the best service in ou1
power, and although we have not beer
able to accomplish what we would like
we believe we have been making prog
ress, and if earnest, diligent, conscien-
tious efforts count for anything. we
hope to do better.
In brief the mission of The Enqui-
rer is: l. To give a correct and COM
prehensive record of news develop
ments-the things that happen that
will interest and benefit readers. 2. In
formation about things and events that
are calculated to inform and instruct
8. Literary matter that will interest
amuse and otherwise benefit. 4. Ed
itorial comment that will explain hap
penings and conditions that are not
altogether clear. 5. General directory
of business and industry.
Editorialy we have sought to teach
and will continue to seek to teach that
the most reliable guarantee Of the
peace and happiness of the individual
citizen is the strict and impartial en-
forcement Of the laws Of the land;
that every citizen should live up tc
both the letter and spirit Of these
laws, and require every other citizen
to do the same thing; that self-consti-
tuted leaders should not be allowed tC
arrogate unto themselves special priv
ileges; that things that are high and
noble in one man are high and noble
in another and things that are low and
contemplate in one are low and con.

of that desire.
We believe that The Yorkville En-.

per now than it was ten years ago. II

efforts to go forward, rather thar

a better paper next year than it has
been this year.
But we do not want to be understood
as assuming too much virtue or toe
much responsibility. The obligations
of those who make The Enquirer are
the same as those engaged in other oc.
cupations-no more and no less. 1t Is
incumbent upon each and all of us tc
discharge our respective duties fully
earnestly and conscientiously, in the
light of that which we know TO be ir

pies of right, justice and charity, an6
for the rest we need have no concern.
