COUNTY HOME PROPERTY.

It seems a little strange that the
county home property which was Of
fered before the court house door yes.
terday did not attract bids of over S2t
and $3.50, when there Is no land to be
bought in the country Immediately
surrounding for less than $35 or $4(
an acre.
1t has been suggested for one thing
however, that the asserted right OF
the county commissioners to reject
any and all bids, had a dampenins ef-
feet on the bidding Whether or not
this be true, cannot be asserted ex-
cept on mere opinion; but it stands tc
reason that a really earnest bidder
would not like to show his hand or
any such conditions as have been pro-
posed. Where there was no certainty
that a bid of even $50 an acre would
be accepted, a bidder wanting 1t sc
badly as that would hardly have been
willing to say so.
There is no doubt about the fact that
there are quite a number Of people
who would be glad 90 have this prop
erty. People who have given more OF
less attention to the matter during the
past month the land has been under
advertisement, have had no difficulty
in satisfying themselves of this. And
one Of the best evidences of the desire
for the property has been the constant
knocking it has been receiving.
Each acre of this property should
bring not less than $50, and the board
of commissioners is right in rejecting
a bid of $25 for a part Of it; but to
settle the question as to whether any
body really wants this land badly, per-
haps it will be the right thing to Of
fer it again and fix an upset price
This is, of course, assuming that a
sale is really desired. Otherwise the
matter may as well stand where it Is

WITHIN THE TOWN.

There is to be q game Of football
on the school grounds next Friday
afternoon between Yorkville and Gas
tonia.
The Lady and the Tramp" is to be
produced at the opera house next Sat
urday night. The performance will
not commence until 9:15 o'clock, so as
to give the merchants and sales people
an opportunity to see 1t all.
There are seven people in the Girl
and the Tramp" which is to be pro-
duced in the opera house next Satur-
from such information as he has been
able to gather, 1t is an unusually good
play. The report Is that the company
has been playing to good houses all
along the line and has been leaving a
good farewell wherever 1t has been.
One complaint against the previous
shows has been that the price of ad-
mission has been too high. This was
especially true of 1.-The Thief" which
did not seem to be entitled to charge
as much as Graustark, for instance,
which came along afterward with
more people, more property" and
more expenses generally. But the
Girl and the Tramp" offers popular
prices" 35 cents and so cents, within
the reach of everybody, and as there
is a generous mixture of laughable
comedy in the play, it will no doubt
afford lots of fun.

THE "coURT HOUSE DOOR,"

II think there should be some pro-
vision for the comfort of people who
are compelled to stand around this
place on sales days" remarked a gen.
tleman in attendance at the legal
sales yesterday.
Quite a large quantity of land was
being offered and many people were
in attendance, some as idle spectators:
but most of them more or less di-
rectly interested in the outcome of
the sales. The day was damp to start
with. and shortly after the sales COM
menced there began gentle sprinkle,
which after a time developed into
quite a shower.
The complaint was not altogether
unfounded. 1t is quite unpleasant to
be forced to stand out In front of the
door while the sales are going on in
bad weather, and in the case Of old
people, women and children, who are
sometimes compelled to be there,
there is danger of serious conSe-
quences
Il remember on one OCCASION" said
a gentleman standing near, when /

CREAMERY BUSINESS BETTER.

The patrons OF the YOrkVile cream
cry are to receive pay for butter fat
furnished during October at the rate
of 25 cents instead Of at the rate of
% cents paid for butter fat delivered
during September. This Is by instruc-
ton Of the directors, pursuant to res
olution adopted at the last regular
monthly meeting.
After the shaking up of last sum-
mer, it was decided to reduce the price
Of butter fat from the higher figures
that were being paid then to 20 cents
a pound, and that price held for a
time, after which, as the situation be-
gan to look more promising there was
an advance Of an additional two cents.
II Is the desire Of the directors to
pay all that the business will safely
stand and after thorough looking in
to the operations Of last month 1t was
deemed perfectly safe to authorize the
advance.
The output Of butter for October
was about 5000 pounds, falling off
mark of the early summer This fall
ing off has been partly due to the fail
ure of the cows and partly to the lack
of confidence occasioned by what Is
now clearly demonstrated to have
been inefficient management.
AS to what will be paid for butter
fat during November the directors are
not prepared to say, except they are
quite sure that II the receipts con-
tinue as heavy as during October and
business continues good, there will be
no trouble about paying 25 cents. If
the butter fat receipts increase con-
siderably, say 1000 pounds. and the
market, which promises well, holds up
even as good as now, the price Of but
ter fat will be advanced to 26, 81 or
28 cents. That Is the programme.
The demand for the product of the
creamery Is far greater than can be
supplied. and butter is now being sold
wholesale at the highest price that has
yet been obtained, 32 cents a pound.
All the product is now going to about
half a dozen customers, and every
customer is clamoring for more. One
big retail concern that has been using
about 300 pounds a week, has within
the past few days been making over
lures to the management looking to
the taking of the entire output at the
prevailing market price.
The local demand Is comparatively
small, amounting to only fifteen or
twenty pounds q week, but 1t Is grow
ing steadily as people learn by expert
ence that after all the scientifically
produced creamery butter Is not high
er at 35 cents a pound than Is most
homemade butter at two-thirds Of that
figure.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1911-11-07

reason to doubt that the county board
of commissioners has full power and
authority to publish quarterly an
itemized statement of disbursements,
if they see proper. The publication
of these reports, provided they are
gotten up comprehensively and accu-
rately handled by the publishers, is
an important safeguard Of the public
funds but unless the reports are
comprehensively gotten up and the
work of the publisher accurate they
are not worth while. Even in this
county we have seen them published
with so many fragrant errors as to
make them worthless. People who OBJ
ject to such publication usually do so
on the ground that since all records
are public, open to the inspection OF
anybody who desires to see them, pub
lication is a useless expense. From a
somewhat narrow viewpoint, this Is
theoretically correct; but that is only
one side Of the question. While 1t Is
true every individual has a right to in
spect the records, every individual
does nothing of the kind, and even II
an Individual should find something bad
wrong, he could not help himself with
out laying it before the public in the
newspapers. An official publication
disseminates the information with
more power and effect than the word
of-mouth testimony Of an individual.
