WORMS In IHE Pines.

There has been very general COM
plaint this summer and fall. because of
the destructive ravages of worms in
pine trees. Reports of losses come
from all parts of the county.
From such information as the re-
porter has been able to gather, the
trouble comes principally from a bor-
ing worm that gets into pine timber,
following the killing Of a tree by light
ming, the breaking of a limb by wind
or otherwise. or maybe by careless use
of the axe.
Complaint of loss comes from all
parts of the county, and very good
idea of the extent of the trouble may
he gathered from n trip over the G..
4 NV railroad from Chester to Gas
tnnia or over the Southern from Lam
caster tu Cherokee The observer will
not fail to hc struck with the number
of clumps of dead pines along the
route.
People who are acquainted with this
trouble as the result of experience in
previous years, say that when the
worms bucomc active they continue
until frost. but do not necessarily
commence again in the same locality
in the following spring; but as to this,
The Enquirer is not able Ia speak with
any degree Of authority.

and it is fresh in the minds of the new
generation that there has been tre-
mendous enhancement of values within
the past half dozen years.
OF course, there are those who think
that the advance of the past dozen
years. especially the advance of the
past six years, has been too rapid and
that there will now be a decline or a
long period of standstill; but these are
basing their conclusions on a very
partial view of the situation. The fact
Of the matter is that this country has
never been more prosperous than it IS
right now, and instead of having
reached the standstill position, it has
only fairly come to the point where
values are bound to move upward.
Those who go around dickering af-
ter land bargains this fall are going
to find values higher than they were
last fall, and we believe that if they
wait until next fall they will find val
ues higher then than now.
We do not want to be understood
as predicting anything like boom,
nor of suggesting or advising specu-
lc:ion. What we are driving at, is to
impress young men who may be shiV-
ering and hesitating on the brink of a
trade for a home that if they have in
view what they want, and intend to
improve it, they can do no better than
to jump right in, and trust to their
own energies and abilities to success
fully work out the problem.

FOUND THE MONEY.

Mr.. r. p. Riddle has found the
purse containing $75 dollars that he
thought he had lost at Filbert, and it
develops that instead Of being lost at
Filbert, the money was stolen out ot
Mr.. Riddles buggy after he had got
ten home, by John Hall, one of his ne
gro wage hands.
Learning on Tuesday morning that
John Hall had spent a iive-dollar blll'
Mr.. Riddle laid the circumstances OF
the lost money and the fact OF Han s
having the bill i'm his possession be-
fore Magistrate ii. T.. Johnson, who
advised the issuance of warrant for
the negrO's arrest.
Armed with the warrant and with
instructions from his father as To how
to proceed, young Horace Johnson, the
magistrates constable, arrested John
Hall and put the handouts on him.
John had no idea what he was wanted
for at first: but the constable TOOK
him off some distance from the negroes
who were with him, and after giving
him little TIME 10 sweat over the Hldl-
ter, demanded: "Whcrc is Mr.. Rld-
dies money" Hall denied all knowl-
edge of the money at first; but after a
while broke down and confessed that
he had found the pocket book III the
buggy after Mr.. Riddles return from
a fox chase. He said he had spent
part of the money and that the balance
was in bureau drawer in the house
of his father.
With this information, the officers
proceeded to the house of Sam Hall,
Johns father and began making a
search. Sam told them there was
nothing in the drawers; which they
found to be correct: but when he be-
gan to realize that the search was not
to end at that point, he volunteered
that if they would follow him he would
see what he could do 10y a search Of

WITHIN THE TOWN.

- So far as has been reported, there
have been no new cases of diphtheria
during the past five days.
- Messrs. Hart and Hart have NOV
ed their law offices from No. Law
Range, to No. 1. next to the street.
The county board of commission
ers held it's regular monthly meeting
last Wednesday. Miss Annie Wallace
is now clerk of the board.
Human Hearts" is a good play,
well worth seeing, just the kind OF
play with which to open Yorkville's
splendid new opera house.
The seats for the opera house have
arrived They are comfortable and
convenient Everything is now in
readiness for the opening next Tuesday
night.
Col. Johnson says he believes al
most everybody in town and in the
country surrounding is going to be at
his opening play next Tuesday night.
And I want them to come" the COL
onel declares.
The towns contract with the
Southern Power company is to expire
soon and the commissioners have un-
der consideration a proposal that means
a very considerable advance in rates
something like from 1.5 to is cents
per XIV hour as against only l cent
now. The best way to meet the situa-
ton is to rescind that curious little ar
rangement by which so many people
are getting free "minimums," and pay

At a meeting of the board of trus-
tees of the Yorkville Graded school on
last Tuesday, it was decided to sus-
pend the exercises of the institution
till the end of next week, after which
time the board would be governed by
circumstances. This action is the re-
suit of the breaking out of a number
of cases of diphtheria during the week
or ten days, previous. 1t is the policy
of the board of health to quarantine
all the children in whom diphtheria
develops This, of course, means the
stopping from school not only the chill
dren suffering from the disease, but
their brothers and sisters as well. In
some cases this makes dissatisfaction
and complaint against the quarantine
law, based on the argument that now
since anti-toXin is a recognized spe-
cific for diphtheria, there is no longer
any reason why people should become
panicky even over a threatened cpl
demic of the disease. The reporter
talked to one member of the board
about the supenSion action referred 10
and from what he said majority OF
the members were really in doubt as TO
what was the best thing to do; but
preferred that if they were to err
at all to err on the side of safety.
Medical opinion is divided as to
the necessity or even the desira-
blity of the suspension. There is
no question: however, that the action
of the board, whether such purpose
was in mind or not will result to the
benefit of the children who have been
uuarantned and who would have 9TH
erwise probably lost two weeks or
more in their respective grades.

THE GUNNER WITH HIS GUN.

This from the current issue Of the
Abbevile Press and Banner is all
right for this locality also:
The gunner with his gun will soon
be in evidence. Now. before the open
season for birds arrives, let us deal
square with the laws Of South Carroll
ma, with the birds, and with one an
other.
This Is what the Out-Of-seasOn hun
ter does not do. In hunting before the
season opens he puts at defiance the
state laws; in hunting before the
season opens he kills birds before they
are grown: and in hunting before the
season opens he is not dealing fairly
with the hunter who refrains from
thus breaking the law.
No man, be ne ever so popular, be
he ever so anxious. be he ever so Sc
cretive, has any right whatsoever to
break the law and begin hunting be-
fore the closed season is over.
1t is up to the good citizens Of any
community to see to 1t that the law Is
obeyed. Sentiment makes law. If
the hunter knows that the sentiment
in any community is severely down on
this class Of lawlessness the hunter
will not run any risk. he will bide his
time with the rest. What right has he
to enter the field before you do? For
a hunter to thus go out and hunt be-
fore the closed season is over, know
ing that he is openly and hagrantly
breaking the law is little short of ar
rogance. even insult to such as do not
thus break the law.
You have more respect for a COM
munity where the citizens will not al
low such breach of the game laws than
you have for community that Is lax
and Indifferent about such matters.
Let every hunter stand back and
possess himself in patience until the
closed season is passed. thus giving
every other hunter an even start and
also giving the birds time to drop
their pin feathers.
Look to it fellow citizens, see that
this law is not broken in the fall of

WITH THE FARMERS.

Mr.. Sam Robinson Of Glover, claims
that his cotton crop this year will be
the lightest he has ever grown, the
trouble being due to the dry weather
more than to any other cause.
Mr.. Joseph Riddle of Zeno, was in
Yorkville yesterday, and in conversa-
ton stated that Riddles mill had
ground more wheat this season than
during any previous season for a num-
ber of years. From what he has been
able to gather of the sentiment among
the farmers, the acreage to small grain
will be still larger this year than it was
last year.
Notwithstanding the discouragins
article recently published about the
creamery proposition there is strong
er demand for good milk cows than
has ever been known in this section.
The prices range from about $50 to
$50.

That Circus Train Riot.-Hager

That Circus Train Riot.-Hagen-
hacks circus was in Columbia last
Saturday. The circus employees were
paid off that afternoon and they pro-
ceeded to load up on whisky-presum-
ably from the dispensary. The circus
went to Augusta that night, and the
train was a general riot between the
two cities. One man was killed and
several wounded About twenty Of the
circus employees are now in Jail at
Lexington to await trial on the charge
of murder.
Now, Is 1t not fair proposition to
say that if there had been no dis
pensaries in Columbia, and the blind
tigers had been kept suppressed-as
they are in Anderson, for instance
this thing would not have happened?
This circus riot, built and founded
on dispensary whisky, is the best ar
gument for prohibition that we have
had in this state in a long time.
1t Is an argument for statewide pro-
hibition, too. The people Of Lexington
county suffered from this riot-Lex-
ington county will have to stand the
cost of the trials. And yet the whisky
which caused the riot was not sold in
Lexington, but in Richland. Richland
claims the right to sell liquor, whether
other counties want it sold or not.
but she cannot keep the evil conse-
quences of the sale of it within her
own borders.
If Richland would be consistent in
her plea for local option she would
come forward and offer to pay the ex-
pense of the trials Of the rioters, who
got into trouble by means of the liquor
which Richland county sold. But she
won't.-Anderson Daily Mail.
