Tea-Caddy Found Useful

afternoon calls and oclock teas it
is no easy matter to throw ones
mind back TO Boston's tea party days
when it was SO hatefully taxed, and it
was common practice to redry the
leaves after use, and brew them a
second or even a third time and even
to make it without any tea leaves at
all
The caddies which those days have
left behind them, If chosen with
view to representing the various
types in vogue at different periods,
may form a collection of great inter
est. AS already suggested, they can
at the same time be utilized for vari-
GUS purposes. The smaller ones are
excellent as cigar or cigarette boxes,
the divisions, intended originally for
black and green tea respectively,
adapting themselves admirably to
the different brands OF weed.
The larger caddies make admirable
work boxes, a necessary adjunct to
life which II Is very difilcult to OBJ

The Automobile.


There are those who hold that the
| increasing traffic in automobiles will
eventually precipitate national panic
They reason from the fact that au-
tomobile purchasers include so many
people who are really not able to in
vest in an unproductive luxury. but
who on the contrary owe the price for
goods or services received from others
That there is something In the idea
cannot be successfully disputed. 1t is
no doubt fact that many individuals
have met with financial embarrass-
ment because of Ill advised purchase
of automobiles.
There is no doubt of the fact either
that the automobile business of the
country is now something enormous
the annual outlay for this kind of
property, probably being greater than
for any other single commodity that
could be mentioned.
But whether or not the tremendous
outlay the country is making for auto
mobiles will eventually bring on q
crash, there Is no use trying to avert
the crisis by croaking. The call of
the automobile to the man who wants
it, and who Is able to get it, Is about
as strong a thing as can be imagined,
and the man who wants an automo-
bile and has the price is going to
get what he wants regardless of warn
ings, gloomy or otherwise.
The automobile, however, is not to
be regarded solely in the light of a
luxury. In the case of many 1t is a
luxury and nothing else; but not the
case with all.
If it is of value to annihilate time
in going from place to place, then the
automobile Is valuable, and the man
who needs to travel over the country
quickly and has no automobile Is at
serious disadvantage in competition
with the man who has one Of these
machines.
Large farmers with plenty of excel
lent horses that could be used for
transportation purposes are finding that
the automobile is more serviceable, be-
cause it is quicker and really requires
less attention.
1t is a noticeable fact that the item
of expense which holds back many in
tending purchasers on the first pros
pective deal, has but little weight af-
ter the ice is once broken.
The use of the automobile is in
creasing steadily and surely.
AS to whether or not there is going
to be a panic, we are unable to say.
Such a thing is possible, although
somehow we are not personally i'm
pressed with any considerable fear of
it.
But panic or no panic, luxury or
utility, the automobile is here, and 1t
will continue to grow in popularity,
until it's office is superseded by some
other invention or development that
will make it back number.

70 ENTERTAIN THE VETERANS.

The Winnie Davis Chapter u. D. C.
of Yorkville; will entertain the surviv-
ing Confederate veterans of York
county on June 3, and The Enquirer Is
requested to extend a cordial invita-
ton to all to be present
This dinner Is an annual affair that
has been established for several years,
and which has each year been grow
ing more pleasant and interesting.
At q recent meeting Of the chapter, 1t
was decided that while 1t has all along
been understood by the chapter that
the wives of Confederate veterans,
who should come along with their
husbands would be welcome. this feat.
ure of the invitation was not so well
understood by the veterans, and The
Enquirer Is desired to especially en-
phasize the fact that wives and wild
ows of veterans are also invited to be
present on the coming occasion.
The attitude Of the chapter in this
matter Is that to them the giving Of
the dinner is an honor and privilege,
and that instead Of receiving favor at
the hands Of the chapter by coming
out, the veterans, their wives and wild
ows are comforting a favor.
The dinner given in the court house
yard last year was a most delightful
affair. There were present from diff
ferent parts Of the county about eigh-
ty veterans, and they spent a pleasant
day of it, aside from the bountiful din
ner which was indeed delightful.
According to present plans, the din
ner of June 3, next Saturday week, will
be served in the court house yard.

been established to the satisfaction of
any rational man, there should be
finality. To continue the matter fur
ther under such conditions is merely
to trifle with the very heart strings Of
social safety and wellbeing.
Now we refer especially to that
Jones case in Union. Jones was fairly
convicted, notwithstanding the efforts
of a strong array of shrewd and able
criminal lawyers and all the money a
man could want to fight his case to
the last ditch.
The case went up to the supreme
court fairly on it's merits and was re-
, viewed in every legitimate particular II
had a right to be reviewed in, and the
lower court was sustained.
Then there have followed 9TH
er appeals that are obviously based
upon the most frivolous grounds i'm
aginable-too absurd to command Sc
rious consideration anywhere.
1t is now clear to everybody, that II
is not a fight for the vindication of the
law: but principally a matter of hook
and crook to defeat the ends of JUS
tice.
If this man should escape now II
would be in effect a message to society
like this: Yes, you NUTS, murder
ed my wife because I was tired OF
her and wanted another woman. You
thought you were going to punish
me; but I had the money sufficient to
buy the aid of accessories after the
fact, and 1 have beaten you."
AS we see it, the supreme court dis
barred John Duncan for less than the
attorneys have been doing in the Jones
case. Yet the operations of the attor-
neys in the Jones case have not even
been held to be offensive.
1t seems to us that there should be
an end to this kind of thing. 1t Is q
glorious and exalted virtue to assume
honesty and sincerity of purpose to all
men, so long as there Is the slightest
excuse for such assumption; but
when that assumption Is continued to
absurdity IL becomes ridiculous

1.-THE HALIFAX COUNTRY"

II have read the Halifax story re-
published in The Enquirer Of Friday
before" remarked a Yorkville citizen
to the reporter, yesterday; but I was
not so much impressed with 1t then as
this time.
IT am pretty familiar with the coun-
try described" he continued, "espe-
cially since the civil war; but since
have known 1t until the last few
years, II has shown, but little promise
probably because 1t has so largely been
turned over to negroes.
But after all Is said, 1t will have
to be admitted that this Is one of the
choicest sections Of York county-this
section lying to the south Of the lower
road to Rock Hill. I do not know Of a
locality that shows up larger number
Of big level-lying fields that are bet
ter suited to all the conditions of mod
ern agricultural methods.
while l know nothing of the old
man Ward further than Is related In
DR.. Moore's "reminiscences, still 1t Is a
matter of common knowledge that
previous to the civil war when the
people had slaves to do their work.
there was much wealth, refinement
and luxury throughout this whole Sec
ton, and signs of this were still no
ticeable up to the early seventies.
Quite a number of fine houses were
burned down in this section during
the reign Of incendiarism that follow
ed the war; but there are yet to be
seen some old landmarks that were
once plantation seats Of considerable
Importance, now more or less dilap-
idated."

WITHIN THE TOWN.

What about the Fourth of July?
Any professional ball this summer?
It Is time that arrangements were be-
ing made.
- The subscriptions to the building
fund of the proposed new Associate
Reformed church, now amounts to
$12,875.
- The graded schools will have
their closing exercises in the opera
house tonight, the admission fee being
15 and 25 cents.
- The Yorkville Coca Cola Bottling
company, Mr.. c. L. Mauldin, proprie-
tor, has been established about two
months, and Is working up a nice
trade in the town and In the country
surrounding.
Ell Latta, colored, died last Sun
day, aged about 70 years. He made
himself useful during many years as
wood sawyer, we'll digger and tree
trimmer, and was generally held in
fine esteem by the whites Of the COM
munity, as an honest, reliable laborer.
Opening with the Episcopal coun-
Gil, followed by the cow show, and this
by the revival meeting in the Asso-
ciate Reformed church, and the clos
ing exercises of the graded school
now on, the minds Of the people Of
Yorkville have been pleasantly and
profitably occupied during the month
of May.
There Is a difference Of opinion
as to whether baseball-good baseball
pays as a business investment. By
paying as a business investment, Is
meant whether the visitors on account
Of baseball do enough trading to war
rant the outlay necessary to keep the
game going. That 1t pays some bus
inesses better than others, there Is
hardly any room for dispute. That the
main support for baseball must come
from business people Is an establish
ed fact.
The series of meetings that has
been in progress In the Associate Re-
formed church since the 14th instant,
came to a close last night. Rev. John
A. Smith, the synodical evangelist,
who has been doing the preaching,
made a very marked impression upon
the people who went out to hear him.
Rev. Mr.. Smith Is an able, earnest
and forceful preacher. There Is moth
ing sensational in his methods, unless
the clear presentation Of burning spir-
itual truths be considered sensational.
His message was that the all import
ant duty of the present life Is to make
preparation for the far more import
ant life to come, and that such prep
aration Is to be made only through
faith in Jesus Christ. The size Of the
congregations varies from good in the
afternoons to large at nights, and
overcrowding on Sunday, especially
Sunday night, when the church was
filled to the entrance door, and some
were unable to get seats. Most Of the
attendants on the meetings were al
ready church members, and the num-
ber of accessions was not so large as
might have been expected otherwise.
Six names were added to the church
rolls on Sunday morning.

DIR. ]. 9. ALLISON DEAD.

DR.. James B. Allison, whose critical
illness was mentioned in the last issue

Saturday afternoon at $50 with Ma

best known and most highly esteemed
citizens Of Yorkville. He was born
at the old family homestead about nine
miles west Of the town on June 6, 1884.
was prepared for the Junior class at
Davidson college in the old field

Few blessings come absolutely un-
attended by ills. The excellent cow
show recently held at Yorkville has
given rise to a most deplorable fra
tricidal strife between the esteemed
Enquirer and its neighbor, the Gaff-
news News. Considering the fact that
this pickering breaks out just at a
time when the Spartanburg situation
has again become acute, we humbly
suggest that a committee on arbitra-
ton be appointed before the Pal
mettO editors leave Columbia for New
York. 1t is sad to see our glorious ef-
forts which resulted in a Damon and
Pythias feeling around the Rock Hill
Chester-Lancaster triangle rendered of
none effect by hostilities in other
quarters. Unless calm be promptly
restored, we are apprehensive that our
chances for the Nobel peace prize will
be seriously jeOpardized.-Char
Observer.
Had we known how badly all this
would look to our peace loving con-
temporary. the Observer, we would
have quietly accepted all the reproach
that our friend, the News wanted to
put on us and said not a word. But
since explanations seem to be in order,
we will advise our neighbOr, the OBJ
server, that the News really did not
mean any harm and The Enquirer is
in such a thoroughly good humor that
it feels no resentment toward any
body.

MUST INCREASE PRODUCTION.
Southern Cotton Growers Should GET
More Per Acre.

President Finley of the Southern
Railway company has pointed out that,
If the south is to preserve the great
economic advantage which 1t enjoys
in having a substantial monopoly in
the production of the cotton supply
of the world, southern cotton growers
must increase their production so as
to keep pace with the constantly
growing demand. He Is strongly Of
the opinion that this can be done most
profitably by increasing the average
production to the acre.
Figures just made public by the
United States agricultural depart
ment, giving the average yield to the
acre for the crop Of 1910, indicate that
the cotton growers Of the southeastern
states are making substantial progress
in the direction of obtaining increased
yields. These figures show a larger
average yield to the acre than in 1909
for each southeastern state except
Georgia and Florida, the yield in Flor
ida having been the same as in 1909
and that in Georgia having shown a
falling off Of nine pounds an acre.
The progress of southern cotton
growers can best be shown by the fol-
lowing table, comparing the average
production for the ten years from 1901
to 1910, inclusive, with the average
1875 to 1885 inclusive:
