Whence comes his unseen ability q
cure? How is IL possible without
drugs or appliances to make one good
as new again?
And well may they be asked but
to answer is a difficult matter even
by the healer himself He confessca
that the power was born with him
and that the laying on of hands With
wonderful results is simply a gift OF
nature, a something that he does net
understand. When the nervous

thing to ponder over. Many well

WITHIN THE TOWN.

Trade was unusually good yester-
day and it continues good today.
- The Yorkvile Graded school has a
rule recurring that the father, where
there is a father, must sign the month
ly reports of the children. The rule
has occasoned a good deal of dissatis-
faction. because as a general thing 1t
is the mothers who have to do most OF
the teaching at home, and In such
cases they feel that they should look
after the reports. In cases where the
mothers take all the interest, it Is ar
gued that fathers sign the reports
without reading them, anyway.
- There was a big outturn at the
John w. Vogel's minstrel show last
night 1t was just a little the largest
audience that the new opera house has
yet accommodated. 1t is fair to say
that the company came fully up to
expectations. The music generally
was thoroughly enjoyable and the
singing was frequently applauded. In
fact the house was in an uproarious
good humor throughout the entire per-
formance. The vaudeville specialties,
the work of John Goss. the trick bone
artist, and of Snake, the golden mon
ster, more particularly commanded at
tention because of their amazing skill.
lneTe are SHOW SoSlS WIZ NdI = ii'''N
for minstrelsy and others who care
little for anything else. Both classes
were represented, and while one was
completely carried away, the other
was interested. All were agreed that
the show came up to a high standard
of it's kind.
THAT is a peculiarly interesting
proposition that the Southern Realty
and Auction company is making to the
people Of Yorkville in this issue. The
company has cut up the w. H. Hern-
don property, including the old lanyard
place, into town lots and will sell the
same at public auction. The property
faces on West Madison street, and
there is an opening to Kings Mountain
street. It is in one of the very best
neighborhOods of the town and there
has been more development right
around it during the past few years
for which there shrdulaan ?sI -bhBiw
than there has been in any other part
of the town. The offering Of this prop
erty means the opening up of highly
desirable residence section-something
for which there has been great demand
during many years, and opportunity
for investment and speculation will be
quickly made clear to all who will take
the trouble to investigate the situation.

lccted by experts in it's employ, on sale
at the fair grounds last week, and that
said stock would he sold to those who
desired it at the actual cost price to
the government. A number of citizens
from various sections of the state went
to Columbia for the express purpose of
seeing the stock and buying if con-
litiOns were as they had been led to
suppose them to be. Among those who
went was a citizen of YOrkVille, who
found that there was a bunch of brood
mares at the barn of a Columbia firm
that had been bought in Iowa by the
Columbia dealers and that they were
being offered at fancy prices, and
the only connection with or interest in
the matter the government was alleged
to have, was to furnish an alleged eX-
pert to advise with purchasers. The
Yorkville man went to Columbia with
the intention of buying two mares,
provided he found conditions as rep
resented and found the animals to be
of the class he desired. He did not
buy, however, for the reason that the
animals offered were of about the same
class as those that he says he can buy
here in York county for $50 and the
Columbia people wanted $3.50 each for
theirs.

PRESIDENT ENJOINS THANKS.

The vigorous growth and progress of
the country is reflected by the records
of population and harvests and the
general conditions of international
peace are things for which thanksgiv-
ing is especially due for the year 1910,
according to the annual Thanksgiving
Day proclamation issued by President
Taft last Saturday. The proclamation
is as follows:
This year of 1910 is drawing To a
close. The records of population and
harVeStS, which are the index Of prog
roSS, show vigorous national growth
and the health and prosperous we'll
being of our communities throughout
this land and in our possessions be-

measures, but overflow and abound.
They are the blessings and bounty of

the rest of the world. In all essential
matters our relations with other peO-
pies are har OniOuS, with an ever

SAlESDAY.

There were a good many people in
town yesterday, but not so many as
were naturally to be expected for
salesday in November, especially In
fall like this when the people gener-
ally are so prosperous and well salts
fed.
There were only two auction sales
of real estate yesterday by the clerk
and as the property involved was not
considered especially desirable, only
slight interest was manifested in the
proceedings around the court house
door.

sold at the suit of J. ]. Sherrer 1T al,
against Gertie Sherrer, was bought by
r. l.. Sherrer for 1870.

company against Albert Whitener, was
huught by c. E. Spencer, attorney, for

Greenville county is voting today on
the question of hringing back tn" dis
persary. AS to what the result will
he. is not altogether certain; but it is
hoped that the dispensary will be kept
out of the county. otherwise, il will
mean a revival of the whole question
i'm every county in the state and the
dispensaries will secure re-estahlish-
ment one after another. But as we
have remarked before, in this respect
counties are very much like individ-
uals with reference to the liquor ques-
tion. They will drink liquor until they
became hesottcd and disgusted with
themselves and then after holding VI
for while will grow tired of being
respectable and go to drinking again
