Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1912-03-15

| The Christian Messenger for March
goes into the mail today. 1t Is quite
an interesting number of this always
valuable little paper.
| The rural carriers are having a
tough time Of it nowadays; the roa6s
many of them have to travel being 80
heavy as to make an empty buggy a
good, load for horse.
| A good way to increase the number
of coupons available In the dictionary
contest is for contestants to induce peo-
pie who are not now taking The En-
quirer to take 1t for three months.
Five subscriptions would give an in
crease Of 100 available votes a week.
There arc people who cannot under
stand why we should absolutely give
away copies of the New International
dictionary, costing twelve dollars each.
There are two good reasons. AS well
as The Enquirer is known throughout
York county, 1t Is not as well known
as we would like 1t to be. We believe
in advertising. This enterprise adver-
tises at home the best county newspa-
per and the best single educational
volume in the world.
There is danger that impatient far
mers are going to plow wet. 1t would
seem that in the light Of all the ex-
perience of the past everybody should
know better than this; but still there
are those who will insist on doing 1t
anyway. OF course the desire to get
to work is strong. That Is natural.
| It is Just as we'll to realize, however,
that If there Is nothing to do but plow
wet, it Is better to 60 nothing.
We are reproducing from the Rock
| ofo of
reference to the proposed election on
the question of issuing $4,000 of bonds
for the erection Of a new court house
for York county, and also alleged fact
in the same connection. AS to just
what the people are going to do about
this matter we do not know; but we
are inclined to think that they will
give it pretty careful consideration.
| We certainly see no reason for any
bitterness in connection with 1t and
however the people of the eastern side
may think, we are quite sure that
practically every man Is not bitter,
and we are not inclined to believe that
practically every man will vote against
the oposition-certainly not until
there has been a full and intelligent
discussion of the subject. That the
present court house building can be
considerably improved at a cost Of a
| few thousand dollars, there Is no
doubt; but as to whether 1t can be
made creditable to an intelligent, ad-
vanced and reasonably prosperous
county like York by a mere remodel
ing, there is very grave question. We
have not seen the act Of the general
assembly and have no information as
to the provisions of the act which We
understand has been passed, and as to
whether it is a matter of $4,000 or
nothing, we do not know. We do
know, however, that there are good
citizens in the eastern, as we'll as the
western, northern and southern sides
who would like to see more credit
able court house than we have. Some
are willing to vote the entire $4,000
named; but the preponderance Of the
sentiment of those we have heard ex-
press themselves in favor Of the prop
osition at all, seem to think that less
sum would be sufficient. However. we
do not feel warranted in declaring as
a fact what the people Of any locality
are going to do in the matter, be-
cause we hardly think the people will
know themselves until they have heard
the whole thing fully and intelligently
presented
