WITHIN THE TOWN

JEFF and Mutt are to be at the opera
house tonight, and fun lovers who fail
to go out will miss something.
The Kirkpatrick-Belk company
will use all of the Nichols building af-
ter January 1, and the Yorkville Bank
ing and Mercantile company will oc-
cupy a store room in the McNeel
building.
Nothing doing on the proposition
to concrete the West Liberty street
sidewalk from Congress street to the
Southern depot.
The fall volume of. business is gen.
orally estimated at from one to two
weeks later than the average; but COL
lections are progressing as we'll as usu-
al and taken as whole conditions are
satisfactory.
As has been remarked before the
tax payers Of the town of Yorkville are
entitled to have published an itemized
statement Of receipts and disburse-
ments. The law requires such publi-
cation. The statement does not neces-
sarily have to be published in a news
paper. The posting Of the statement
on the court house door or in some
other public place would be compli-
ance with the law. If the statement
should remain posted long enough the
tax payers could get some idea of who
their money Is going to and what for.
This law ought to be complied with.
Here is what the Chester Lantern
Of Wednesday has to say Of Mutt and
jeff to appear at the Yorkville Opera
house tonight: 1.-The entertainment
afforded at the opera house last night
by Bud Fishers popular heroes was all
that was expected; and then some.
Just how everybody knew what rip
roaring bunch Of fun 1t was all going
to be Is something that can be explain
ed only by some highbrow versed in
psychology, telepathy and other long
knew a good show was on was evil
denced by the way the house was
jammed from pit to gallery. OF course
little Mutt was the real hero Of the
play from start to finish, even though
Jack Weyler, the young man with
rather a good tenor voice, came near
disputing honors with him at several
stages. But then it wasn't a one-man
show, anyway. A whole bunch Of
really pretty chorus girls, in costumes
that made the entire bald-head row sit
up suddenly and take notice, formed
big feature of the company, and every
part in the caste was well played, Will
liam P. Murphy as Bosco, 1.-The Nicka-
dorian Minister" showing an excellent
voice in solo part which is not to be
found on the printed programme, this
probably the best musical number Of
the evening, meeting with good ap-
plause but in fact not as much as was
really merited, the character of the
song in Spanish dialect, not helping 1t
any in the way Of popularity. Nuts
makeup was, Of course, artificial, as
was to be expected, but little jeff was
simply the real little JEFF stepped
right out of the paper; he must have
been Bud Fishers model in the first
place, and they both scored every time
they had line. The house was in
constant uproar Of merriment from
start to finish, and we will all have to
hand it" to Mr.. Wylie for bringing
thoroughly enjoyable show which made
good every promise Of the billboards
and press notices"

Representatives of the Columbia
chamber Of commerce met representa-
tives of the striking street car en-
ployes yesterday in an effort to secure
an adjustment Of grievances so the cars
can be run during the fair. The street
car men held out for the recognition of
the National Amalgamated Associa-
ton and the Chamber Of Commerce
representatives claimed that the con-
tention was unreasonable. Upon the
adjournment of the meeting the presi-
dent of the chamber of commerce told
the strikers that cars would be run
during the fair and that such trouble
as might result would be on the heads
Of the strikers. The understanding is
that there is perfect agreement be-
tween the strikers and the company
management on every qustion save
that Of recognition Of the amalgamat-
ed association.

BREAD and Circuses."-Gov. Mar
shall of Indiana in a speech at Albany,
NJ Y, yesterday asserted that the po-
litical parties which attempted to use
the methods of ancient Roman leaders
in handling the American people would
bring disaster upon the government.
Bread and circuses were the two
things that the Roman leaders used to
keep the people in line" said Gov.
Marshall, land today in this supposed
ly advanced age we find two of the big
political parties in this country using
the same old bread and circuses in
their efforts to get control of you
people"
Gov. Marshall said that overcapi-
taliZed political leaders were becoming
as great menaces to the welfare Of the
country as overcapitalized corpora
tions.

THE CORN CLUB BOYS.

The York County Corn Club boys
have been harvesting their prize acres
for the past two weeks or more, and
from information so far gathered, the
results are more promising than here
tofore.
There are more than fifty boys in
the club and while reports have not
been received from all of them, it is
known that one boy has measured up
a yield Of 100 bushels on one acre,
and none have reported yield Of less
than fifty bushels.
The record yield in York county is
110 2-70 bushels, made by r. T.. Gill
lespie near TirZah in 1889, in compe-
ton for the $1,000 prize offered that
year by the American Agriculturist.
The same year in the same competi-
ton, Mr.. r. M. Allison of Hickory
Grove, made 104 2-70 bushels, and
Major A. H. White of Rock Hill, made
80 bushels and 4 pounds.

ADRIANoPLE, THE CRISIS.
Upon Result Of Pending Battle Peace
Of Europe Said to Hinae

The reported concentration Of oppos-
Ing forces about Adrianople presages
the crisis In the Balkan campaign. War
nowadays Is swift, waged with rail-
roads. The conditions in north eastern
Turkey are modern. so swift war in
that region Is likely; while hostilities
In the rugged and primitive north
west lag in comparison.
Adrianople Is the last stage on the
road that the victorious Slav has fol-
lowed up, step by step, for two CEN
turies, the road to Constantinople. The
main Bulgarian force pursues a natur-
al course, therefore, in striking for this
Turkish frontier city.
or yet more Importance than to the
Slavs 1t Is to the Turkish COM
manders to bring every gun available
to the support Of Adrianople and the
contest with the invaders at that point
Victorious there, the Turks may feel
confident that losses Of their territory
further west will be nullified by the
jealous interposition Of Austria, the
Power chiefly opposed to Servian and
Montenegro territorial gain. But let
Adrianople fall, the west, no matter
how we'll defended, would be likely to
share its fate in the general thrush of
invaders, greedy to be in at the death
haloo.
Under these conditions, Adrianople
may now be looked upon as the citadel
Of the peace Of Europe. Little as the
sympathy Of Christendom favors the
Turk, the Christian world should dread
at present more than any other threat
ened event a disaster there to the
Turks.
Decisive Slavic victory would force
Austria, In preservation Of the south
eastward policy that forms her all-ab-
sorbing territorial ambition, to seize
Novibazar. Against this death blow to
their unity, the Slav states Of the Bal
kans could not but fight. Russia would
insist on an equivalent advantage, the
possession of Constantinople. This
point neither Austria nor Germany, the
Austrian ally, could permit A con-
flict once engaged between Russia and
the German Austrian aggregation
would presumably involve Russia's al
ly, France, and Frances ally, Eng
land.
General safety under these circum-
stances would seem to lie in the hopes
of a draw or Of a Turkish advantage
an advantage of which It is utterly un-
likely that the great Powers behind
the scenes would ever allow the Mos
lem to reap the fruit-New York Sun.

MR.. 7. M. DOBSON.

Mr.. T. M. Dobson, formerly Of York@
vile; but for the past two years. or
more a resident of Atlanta, was badly
injured in that city yesterday by being
run over by an automobile.
The news was received in Yorkville
yesterday through kilograms to Mr.. R.
H. Dobson from his brothers, Frank
and Keene, who are living with their
father in Atlanta.
There were very few details in the
kilograms. They simply said that Mr.
Dobson had been knocked down by an
automobile, that one leg was broken.
he had been hurt about the head and
otherwise injured, and had been taken
to a hospital.
Mr.. Dobson is in the 18th year of his
age.

The size of the Bull Moose" vote in
South Carolina will surprise a good
many people. There are lots and cords
of slack twisted Democrats who care
nothing for the party except for its
loaves and fishes-nor for any other
party except for what they can get out
of it.-Newberry Observer.
AS to whether the Bull Moose vote
will be large enough to surprise any
body we have no decided opinion; but
we are not expecting a large vote.
However, there is food for thought in
the latter part of the Observers re-
mark. But don't let us deceive Our
selves into a belief that the failing
mentioned is a popularity Of Demo-
Gratis. Most of us are agreed that thu
woods are full of people looking for
loaves and fishes, and most generally,
we think it is the other fellow.

There has been some little noise in

The Yorkville Enquirer thinks there
are lots of Bull Moosers in Spartan
burg and gets its idea from the ac-
counts of meetings printed in a local
paper. BY the way, do you recall some
of the stories printed before August
27, 1912?-Spartanburg Journal.
The Journals assertion that The En-
quirer thinks there are lots Of Bull
Moosers in Spartanburg' is evidently
made on the assumption that The En-
quirer does not remember the stories
referred to. The Enquirer has not said
that it thinks there are lots Of Bull
Moosers in Spartanburg county.

Less Wheat to be Sown.
rience In farming operations, advises
The Enquirer that in his opinion the
acreage to be sown to wheat in York
county will be smaller this year than
last. He gives as main reason for
the anticipated reduction, the discour-
aging yield last summer. 1t has been
the rule, he says, when wheat turns
out unsatisfactory, the farmers get
discouraged and put in fewer acres.
He thought, however, that this was
not good policy to pursue. Informa-
ton Is that the acreage in oats will be
as large as usual.

ing in mind for several years and has

work on 1t about twice before; but for

mer. He has no idea Of turning back
