The New Standard Of Purchase
The Package The Ideal Unit Both In
Cleanliness And Convenience.

In these days of keen competition a
new unit of purchase has arisen. The
time was-and not so long ago-when
everything was sold in bulk Not
only was the purchaser uncertain of
quality as well as quantity. but the
grocer suffered too; for no matter
how careful ana clearly he might be,
The sure deterioration and damage to
goods by exposure to dust, moisture
and even air, resulted in either a
down 'yht money loss or a disgrultled
customer.
But times have changed for the bet
ter-for everybody.
The woman who once thoughtlessly
bought her food in bulk-from the
doubtful barrel. bag or bin-has been
educated to better things. She has
come to regard freshness and clean
illness as a part of her purchase. No
longer will she buy soda crackers from
box or barrel and carry them home
in a paper bag along with cheese,
onions or fish land this was a com
mon sight a few wears ago). Instead

News, Thursday: II

- Greenville News, Thursday: 1t IS
good story, and true, that comes
from one of the local magistrates, who
Yesterday administered a stern rebuke
to a young fellow for carrying conceal
cd weapons. The magistrate was
hearing the arguments of the attor-
neys in a case against the young man.
When the hearing was over and all
had retired from the room save the
erstwhile defendant and the good
Judge" the young fellow fell ANUS
ing over his plight. In his remarks
he said some rather sassy" things to
the good old magistrate, who In the
meantime, had given his attention to
adjusting some legal papers, leaving
the young man to himself. After so
long a while the young fellows re-
marks grew so impertinent that the
magistrate thought he needed tend
ing to-" and turned upon him with
solemn warning. Young fellow, you
are talking mighty 'biggity,' you must
have a pistol in your pocket. Get up
and pull off your coat" The young
fellow, be it said, scoffed at the
Judges injunction, whereupon the
venerable magistrate procured dan
gerous looking gun" from his desk
drawer and ordered the young culprit
to arise instantly and doff his coat.
Quicker than it takes to tell 1t, the
young fellow was upon his feet, and
had taken off his coat. In his hip
pocket he carried a Colt revolver, all
spanking new and loaded full. Now
hand that gun here" quoth the mag
istrate. And quicker than it takes to
tell it. the gun was lying on the mag
istrate's desk. The good judge turn
ed to his papers again, leaving the
young man to muse further over his
plight. The crest-fallen one was
about to arise and depart when the
good Judge ordered him to be seat
ed and consider himself under arrest
for carrying concealed weapons
Young America" then grew serious
and asked the magistrate how he
could get out of the Scrape into which
he had gotten. by pleading guilty
to the charge of carrying concealed
weapons and paying a fine Of $780,"
politely replied the magistrate. When
the young fellow saw that he was
really lin the soup" he hauled out
500 and handed it over to the magis-
trate. The next move in the little
drama was when the young fellow
reached for his pistol and made ready
to depart Hold on minute" quoth
the magistrate Am I not going to
get my gun back" queried he. Nay,
nay, Pauline, that will go to Colum-
bia. Now get out that door" rejoin-
ed the magistrate. and thus closed the
little drama.

This weeks issue of the Progressive

in the whole country, is Dairy Spe-
cial," devoted almost entirely to the
COW. her care and her products, and
the edition is well calculated to be of
interest and value to the hundreds of
thousands of readers of this most eX-
cellent publication in all parts of the
country. The feature of the edition,
however, that is of most direct interest
to the people Of York and surrounding
counties. is the following liberal edi-

to he held i'm YOrkville week after
next:
IF your county is interested in the
development of dairying, let. us COM
mend to you the fine example of York
county, South Carolina. A few weeks
ago some of the folks there, intent
upon seeing their county realize upon
its neglected opportunities, got togeth-
or and set about organizing COW show
to he held May 10 and IL. The busi-
ness men of YOrkville responded lib
orally. prizes amounting to several
hundred dollars were quickly raised,
the ever-enterprising YOrkville Enqui-
rer advertised the show persistently
and heartily, and a special committee
set about getting the best available
speakers for the occasion. 1t prom
ses to be a thoroughly successful af-
fair, and we hope all our readers with

off tn see this COW show. We hope
that such shows will become common

THE INTERURBAN,

A committee appointed at a recent
meeting of the Yorkville Board OF
Trade went over to Charlotte last
Tuesday to see Vice President Lee of
the Interurban company, to see about
the prospects of getting line through
Yorkville.
The committee consisted of Messrs
G. H. O'Leary, chairman; ]. c. Will
born and J. r. Lindsay, and from Mr..
O'Leary, Wednesday, information was
obtained as to the result of the mis-
sion.
Mr.. Lee advised the committee that
the present plans of the company con-
template a through line from Green
wood, S. c., to Durham, N. c., and that
until this line Is definitely located, no
branch lines will be undertaken. Ul-
timately, however, the company pro-
poses to cover the whole Piedmont
section of both North and South Car
olina with branch lines, and there will
be opportunity for Yorkville and other
York county towns on their compli-
ance with conditions that will be pro-
posed in all cases.
Mr.. Lee suggested that on the COM
pletion of the main line, the company
would be in a position to consider q
branch to connect Glover, Yorkville
and points to the south, and that some
preliminary work might be commenc-
ed and pursued along this basis.
The general plan Of the company
is to put up IS per cent Of the capital
stock, and the general public is to
put up the remaining 25 per cent, In
addition to guaranteeing to the inter-
urban one half the freight Of the ter
ritory through which it passes, pro-
vided, of course, that the interurban
meets competition as to rates and ex-
peditious deliveries.
Mr.. Lee was frank and open in all
his communications with the commit
tee, freely and unreservedly giving all
the information asked for.

1T WAS A LIVELY TRIP.

That was a great trip that the jury
i'm the case of Springs VS.. the Southern
railway made over into Fort Mil
township yesterday. according tc
some of the stories that have beer
told about it.
1t was a congenial bunch with two
or three, at least two men, who are
full of natural wit and humor, and
who delight in keeping laugh going
wherever they happen to be.
The jury left Yorkville in three au-
tomObiles shortly after o'clock yes
terday afternoon and reached the
Springs place, about twenty-six miles
i'm a little less than two hours. There
was no mishap of any consequence go
ing; but on the way back one of the
cars broke down near Fort Mill and
the occupants had to wait by the
roadside until another car could be
secured from Rock Hill.
After the jurors had gone over the
land and surveyed the fire damage to
their satisfaction. they were taken
back to Rock Hill and from there re-
turned to Yorkville on the night pas
senger train.

standards. There are others who are
absolutely without guile themselves,
and who seem to feel and make no
distinction between honest men and
knaves. These are, well-"birds," but
they are generally popular.
But getting back to vote buying in
it's various forms. What man of aver
age intelligence is there in this coun-
try who has not known of concrete
cases? What man Is so innocent and
guileless as not to believe such thing
is done every election year and in
times between? And If votes are being
bought, no one who has average sense
believes that the man who Is doing
the buying is better than the mar
who sells. The man who will buy votes
either directly or indirectly Is not fl
to serve a self-respecting people in q
public office: but on the other hand g
people who will permit such a thing
need to get busy to prove that they
are self-respecting.
at the bottom Of the evils to which
President Barrett calls attention, Is
for the grand juries to take them up
Except for grand juries there would
not have been any rumpus in Ohio
and Illinois, and except the grand jury
takes action there will be no improve
ment in conditions in York county and
South Carolina. There will be no stoI
to this thing of hiring Toms" time
and labor at several times what 1t Is
worth, to round up friends, and there
will be no stop to this practice OF
running carriages on election day or
the same general principles.
If the grand jury would take a really
searching look into this whole situa-
ton it may not find evidence sufi-
cient to warrant presentations; but II
will certainly succeed in putting peo-
pie OH notice and will clarity the at
mosphere wonderfully.

WITHIN THE TOWN.

AS the result of cleanup day. y
Mr.. John N. O'Farrell put in eight
days Of hauling during which he took
thirty eight two-horse loads of rub
bish out of the town. The rubbish
consisted mainly Of tin cans, broken
jars, old buckets, etc. The cleaning is
conceded to have been the most thor
ough and effective that the town has
ever known.
A mule that belonged to Truman
Turner's livery stable, missed the lane
on it's way home last Tuesday after
noon, and wandered into the store of
the Thomson company next door, in
stead. The animal walked back almost
to the millinery department before II
was headed off and driven out, Great
ing some little excitement, but doing
no damage.

One splendid move in the direction
of realizing the object that President
Barrett, of the Farmers Union aims
at, would he to incorporate in the con-
stitutiOn of the Democratic party a
provision that no man shall vote in a
primary election unless he has pre-
viously qualified himself to vote in
the general election. The man who
has no fixed place of abode for long
enough time to enable him to grasp a
reasonably intelligent idea of local
conditions has no business being al
lowed to exercise the balance of power
as between the people who are perma-
nently settled and those who bear the
real burdens of government. 1t is not
right, and the settled class is not 60
ing to stand for it indefinitely. They
are going to get relief eventually, even
if there is no other way than by ig-
nOring the primary and going into the
general election.

EARN WORK.

The farmers Of York county have
been working during the past week or
two, more particularly when the
ground was in fix, as people seldom
work. 1t Is a case of have to-" 1t Is
a critical time. The farmers who do
not work now, can accomplish very
little during the balance of the year.
But the work has been progressing
nicely for the most part. Many far
mers had succeeded in doing all the
plowing that they thought necessa-
ry or wanted to do in the fall and win
ter and were in a position to take ad-
vantage Of planting season as soon as
1t developed. Others who had not done
so much winter plowing devoted the
early spring to sowing oats, and the
weather that followed has crowded
them pretty badly.
Reports from different sections of
the county, however, indicate that fine
progress has been made with planting
operations within the past week or
two. In the aggregate a tremendous
acreage Of corn has gone in and much
cotton has also been planted. Taken
all together. planting operations are in
a pretty satisfactory condition, and
after another week, there will be but
little left to be done.

There is to be an eclipse Of the sur
this evening just before sundown, and
astronomers tell us that 1t will be Wis.,
ible from this locality.
It will be noticed from the advertise
ment in another column that the
Southern railway has granted freight
and passenger rates for the cow show
to be held in Yorkville on May 10
and IL.
Attention is directed to the urgent
call for a meeting Of the York County
Farmers Union in Yorkville next
Monday. BY that time, Mr.. ]. B
ONeal Holloway will have completed
his round of the county, and a full
meeting next Monday is especially de-
sirable.
There is some talk of getting up q
milking contest at the cow show; but
from the status of the matter at this
time, no definite announcement can be
made. Such contests are not unusual
in the dairy districts of the north and
northwest, where men do the milking
Down south, however, most Of the
milking Is done by the women, and as
to whether a successful contest can
be arranged is doubtful.

Vote Buyinq.

We are reproducing a statement that
President Chas. S. Barrett, president
of the Farmers Union has issued on
the subject of vote buying and we are
in entire agreement with Mr.. Barrett's
suggestion that the statement is both
timely and important.
This writer once heard a well-known
politician say that when man had to
buy his Office, he had a right to sell
it, He disclaimed, of course, that he
had ever bought votes under any cir
cumstances, and he was no doubt
honest in his disclaimer; but as mat
ter of fact, he had really bought many
a vote along the lines laid down by
President Barrett. And he was not
an exception to the rule. Vote buy
ing and vote selling is all too common
in South Carolina as in Georgia. Ohio
and elsewhere. And the thing that
the politician referred to, stated as a
right, is carried out as a matter Of
fact. Many of the people who buy
their offices do not hesitate to sell
them.
But to get at the bottom of this most
serious evil is far-reaching task.
The thing extends to limits that are
appalling. OF course there is not much
open trading in votes. There are few
people in this country who would de-
liberately sell their votes for a dollar,
or five dollars cash in hand. We have
known of cases even when that has
been done. The sense of public decen-
cy, however, is too we'll developed to
admit of the full endorsement of such
a practice.
Tom, l know you would knock me
down if l offered to buy your influ-
ence. and know you are for me any
way But you have got to get away
from your business and work for me.
That means | ought to pay YOU for
your time. with a little more for eX-
penses, and n little more To treat the
boys" etc.
This illustration 10y Mr. Barrett is
familiar. 1t is only one Of many; but
it is probably the one that most peo-
pie, who are cogniZant of such things
understand best. And there are many
people who will try to hold that the
proceeding is right and proper. OF
course, Tom would say it is all right
if he would be caught; hut it is to be
observed that unless he is caught, he
SAYS nothing. Then again Tom" is
not much of an authority on what is
right and wrong. There are decent
people whose disapproval he would
fear, but if they happen to pin him
down too closely he will get out of it
by saying that it is politics" giving
such expression and emphasis to the
word as to indicate that any crime up
to lying and murder is warranted un-
der the excuse of politics"
To he perfectly fair and frank, it
will have to he admitted that to look
for absolute sincerity in the average
candidate is absurd Such a thing is
not too common among other classes
of people. There is such thing as
a man who is honest for honesty's
sake. and there are some public men
of that type. But such men are rare,
and their paths are not pleasant, be-
cause they find that there are few
who know how to sympathiZe with
and appreciate them. From the nature
of the case the public official has to be
pleasant with people he despises. 1t
is so even with public men whose
integrity measures up To the highest
