Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1910-08-19

The CASTOR County Farmers Union
and the CASTOR County Rural Letter
Carriers association have combined in
big blowout to be held on Labor
Day, September 5.
Il has been thoroughly well estab-
lished that both wheat and oats may
be drilled among the cotton rows dur
ing September or October, without
harm to the cotton and 20 the very
great advantage of the small grain
Even in these dull times, the circu-
lation of The Enquirer is increasing
at the rate Of eight or ten subscrip-
tions a week. Just why it Is, we do
not know: but the feeling of kindly ap-
probation toward the paper was new
er stronger.
Prof. J. w. Thomson OF Winthrop
college, and a member of the county
board of education is in a New York
hospital, suffering from pellagra. Our
information is that his condition is
quite serious and his friends are very
much concerned about him.
A correspondent from Rock Hill
writes that the reason the crowd fall
ed to cheer Dixie" at Blairsville. was
that the air was indifferently render
ed and that the Carhartt band could
have brought the crowd to its feet.
We have no reason to doubt the eff
cheney of the Carhartt band; but it is
fair to say that there was nothing the
matter with the way the stirring old
piece was rendered at Blairsville.
Mr.. VIM. Corkill of Chester, and his
sister, Miss Ocey, passed through
Yorkville Tuesday on their return
home from Piedmont Springs, where
they went in Mr.. Corkills automobile.
Although good humored about it, Mr..
Corkill was not pleased with some or
the roads over which he had to pass.
Automobiles complain of a guam
ty of nails having been scattered down
the Chester road out Of Yorkville.
How it happened or why, has not been
explained.
bringing advertising matter to The
Enquirer just few minutes before the
paper is due to go to press, and we de-
sire to say a few words on the subject
for their information and for our own
protection. The purpose of The En-
uuirer is to fill the entire field OF
county newspaper with regard to local
and general news, entertaining and in
structive miscellaneous matter and
advertising. News matter always has
the right of way and after that comes
advertising matter. There is not
newspaper in the state, daily, weekly
or emi-weekly that gives its advertis-
ing patrons better facilities than The
ENQUIRER gives. We handle changes
up to n later hour than any OF them.
In the case of regular contract adver-
tisers we bind ourselves to make all
changes when the copy comes In by II
o'clock on the day previous to publi-
cation. AS a matter of fact, we do fire.
uuently make changes after that hour;
but il is a matter of convenience rath-
er than obligation. After II o'clock on
the day previous to publication, the
editorial and mechanical force devotes
itself entirely to the demands of the
news service. Transient advertisements
are frequently handled up to II o'clock
on the day Of publication: but they are
not solicited or expected after 10 or
II o'clock. We do all we can to ac-
commodate such belated advertisers;
but if they happen to strike us at a
time when to accommodate them
means the leaving out of an important
news item, or the risk of missing a
mail. we have no hesitation in turning
them down. Advertising is a very i'm
portant source of revenue to us, and
we want, all we can get: but we can
not afford to allow any advertiser to
encroach upon that which we feel that
we owe to subscribers. and we never
do anything of the kind. This we
think is frank and fair statement
and we hope that all concerned will
govern themselves accordingly.
