J. C. Wilborn-Makes additional Of
ferings of York county real estate,
including several desirable farms.
There is a case of smallpox out in
Beersheba neighborhood. The patient
is a negro under the care Of DR.. B. n.
Miller.
Thursday is the anniversary Of the
birth of Robert E. Lee. This anniver-
sary will be observed in many schools
throughout the state.
Dr.. J. II. Saye has introduced joint
resolution instructing the attorney
general to accept the verdict Of the
jury in the merger case, without fur
ther litigation. There will be some
debate on the subject before it is fl
nally and definitely settled, however.
Senator Stewart has introduced a
bill to empower the county board of
commissioners Of York county to sell
all or a part of the county home farm,
and purchase a new site and to erect
suitable buildings. He has also intro
duced a bill proposing certain amend
ments to the road law.
The Enquirer is advised that there
has been an almost complete subsi-
dence Of the opposition to vaccination
of the school children and it has been
suggested to us that If the physicians
will only get busy in their respective
bailiwicks, the whole country can be
vaccinated in little while.
Now boys, you farmer boys, you want
to be sure to go over to Winthrop next
Saturday to the first meeting Of the
Boys Corn club. If you have no mon
ey, ask your fathers, and they will
furnish the railroad fare. But be sure
and 90. The trip will be worth while,
and what you will learn in connection
with the demonstration work will be
worth while.
There is a growing sentiment in fa-
vor of the importation of the finest
breeds of milk cattle. Since the es-
tablishment of the creamery at York
vile, a few months ago, the farmers
have begun to learn more about milk
and butter than they ever knew before,
and one of the things that impresses
them most is that thoroughbred cattle
are the best and the cheapest.
Special attention is called to the ad-
vertisement in this issue Of the Con-
garee Fertilizer company of Columbia.
Mr. Paul R. Bratton, formerly of York
Vile, and for many years the travelling
representative of the Macmurphy COM
pany, is general manager of this COM
pany, and of course, will see to 1t that
his former fellow citizens Of York will
have no cause to complain Of the char
acter of goods he sell them.
Maybe Cherokee township might
be able to get off little more of York;
but we do not believe it. That portion
of York which went to Cherokee orig
inally has been sorry ever since, and
we do not believe that anybody who
kept out of the scrape then Is going
into it now. 1t is not generally known
by the way; but it is fact that Cher
okee is not and never has been con-
stitutional county. 1t lacks considera-
bly, Of having the necessary area. But
this fact is not of very much import
ance, except as indicating the way
that things are sometimes done.
The weather man seems to have
been pretty badly mixed about that
cold wave that he gave us to under
stand was due in these parts last week.
On the contrary, during Wednesday,,
Thursday, Friday and Saturday, we
lid to contend with a warm wave in
stead. Beautiful weather this was
a common remark. People talked that
way because of the resemblance to
early spring, and forgetting for the mo-
ment how uncomfortable they were
wearing heavy winter underclothes IN
a temperature that seemed to belong
to south Florida. The weather really
might have been beautiful if the peo-
pie had been properly clothed for 1t.
Just where has not been definitely To-
Gated; but it is not difficult to believe
that there was a cold wave on some-
where, and since this locality had been
robbed of such chill as seemed neces-
sary to keep the season seasonable for
concentration elsewhere, the locality
that did get the benefit of it must have
had cold weather right.
Speaking of town building and all
that sort of thing, the farmer in the
country has just about as much to do
along that line as has the dweller in
the town. Say, you farmer friend, no
matter who you are, don't you know It
to be a fact that you hear more nice
things about those farmers who have
painted their homes and outbuildings,
and whose surroundings carry unmls-
taxable evidence of order and system?
There are some homes that you know
of where there is pretty shrubbery IN
the yards, where there are lots of pref
ty rosebushes and potted plants.
Where out in the yard or lawn, under
the trees are rustic benches, or maybe
plain carpentered benches or benches
bought from the furniture store. II
