AROUND AND ABOUT SHARON.
Correspondence The Yorkvills Enquirer


Sharon r. F. D. No. 1. February II.
The farmers Of this section are be-
gining to grow impatient to start
the spring plowing. Many who wanted
to SOW spring oats have been prevent
ed by the long continued wet weather.
When weather conditions finally get
rush.
The wheat and oats sowed last fall
have had a hard time Of 1t through
the winter, and at present the pros
poets for good crops are not especially
bright. II Is believed that much Of
the small grain has been killed, and
all Of II more or less damaged.
It is hardly worth while to mention
the roads along this route. They are
in lust about the same condition as
prevails elsewhere In the county.
A very pleasant valentine party was
given at the home Of Mr.. e. B. Mitch
ell on Monday evening. having been
postponed from the 14th on account
of the inclement weather. The parlor
and dining-room were tastefully dec
Grated appropriate to the occasion.
Games OF various kinds were enjoyed
for an hour or more. Then the young
gentlemen matched hearts with the
young ladies for luncheon partners,
and the guests proceeded to the din
ing-room, where Misses Clara and
Bessie Mitchell and Vessie Blair served
heart-shaped cakes, hot chocolate and
fruits. Among those present were:
Misses Blanche Cain, Cora Sherer,
Blanche Pratt, jamie McFadden, Edna
Feemster, Lizzie and Yessie Blair,
Leila Sherer, Rose Gourley and Flor
ence Berry; Messrs. Richard Sadler.

Anderson. February 20: At the
regular monthly meeting Of the Farm
ers' Union Of Anderson county, held
here yesterday, the local cotton buy
ers came In for a good, sound roast
because Of the present prices paid for
cotton here. Evidence was intro
duced at the meeting tending to show
that the prices on the local markets
are anywhere from an eighth to
half cent lower than at Hartwell. Ca.
and other nearby points. A commit

ACREAGE REDUCTION.

Messrs. Ira B. Dunlap, T. L. john
ston and r. L. Sturgis, the committee
appointed to secure pledges for the re-
duction Of the cotton acreage In York
county, have sent The Enquirer final
report of the farmers who have sign
ed the pledge. The completed list, to-
gether with the names already pub
lshed. includes 1,031 signers. The to-
tai acreage planted by these signers
last year was 42,961, and the total
number of acres they expect to plant
this year Is 1888, a reduction Of 1928
acres or II per cent. The committee
writes:
Quite a number Of our farmers only
planted ten acres last year. Some OF
these did not reduce at all, and some
reduced 25 per cent All of the farm
ers, however who planted as much as
fifteen acres to the mule, as a rule,
reduced 25 per cent. Those not reduc-
ing brought the percentage down: but
we feel that when everything Is taken
into consideration II per cent Is a
pretty good reduction for York county.
Our farmers are certainly going to re-
duce.
ION account of the bad weather and
our trying to rush this work to COM
pletion, we were not able to see any
thing like all Of our farmers; but In
almost every instance when they were
asked to sign, they signed without hes
itation. This work on our part was
done without any great effort, for 1t
was the unanimous verdict of the
farmers that reduction Of acreage was
the thing"
The list of additional signers is as

Democratic members Of the house
committee on postottices and post
roads have agreed to incorporate In
the appropriation bill provisions for
the establishment of a general parcels
post system. They also have agreed

national post rate. They would also
provide for a rural parcels post. the
rate to be cents for one pound and
2 cents for each additional pound
The provisions will be incorporated In
the bill to be reported to the house
some time next week, but the actual
wording of the provisions has not
been framed. The decision was reach
ed after long consideration of the sub
ject, some Democratic members ad-
vocating a system of parcels post
zones i'm which would prevail differ

Unless we are mistaken, 1t was Hon.
John L. McLaurin Of Bennettsville,
who originated the state warehouse
scheme, drew the bill, secured the ap-
proval of the Farmers Union, and pi-
loted 1t through the general assembly.
Our recollection too is that there was
nothing secret or underhanded about
the matter. The first we saw of 1t was
when the bill was published in the
News and Courier shortly after Christ
mas, and the whole thing has had the
freest and fullest publicity ever since.
The publication Of these facts just now
Is useless, for everybody knows the
whole truth: but maybe it is just as
we'll to let it go in the record. AS to
whether Mr.. McLaurin seeks any cred
it we do not know. We are inclined to
think he does not; but of one thing he
may rest assured, that If the politi-
clans, by NAL administration make a
complete and dismal failure Of the
whole thing, he will get all the blame.

It seems to be quite the fashion just
now to take a crack at Editor Dave
Grist Of The Yorkville Enquirer, who
has been saying things about state
politics in general and Lawyer Stew
enson in particular. However, Editor
Grist is used to being swatted, and
right or wrong, he is always able to
give a pretty good account Of himself.

Duly appreciated, but we don't be-
lieve we could hold up the wrong end
successfully If we would; we don't be-
lieve we would try to hold up the
wrong end If we could. But we do not
want anyone to be left in doubt as to
our construction of the meaning of
what the News and Courier has been
kind enough to say. 1t does not be-
lieve that The Enquirer would inten-
tionally try to uphold position that
1t knows to be wrong.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1912-02-23

1t surely gives The Enquirer pleas
ure to note that a number Of newspa-
pers throughout the state are begin
ming to realize that, after all, there
may be two sides to some Of the
questions that arc pending. The news
paper that knowingly and deliberate
ly suppresses the truth does itself and
it's constituents a hundred times more
harm than the newspaper which know
ingly and deliberately lies. The. man
on the watch tower should not go to

WAREHOUSE BILL APPROVED.
Governor B'ease Gives His Views In
Special Message.

Governor Blease has approved the
state warehouse bill. He sent the act
back to the general assembly last
Wednesday night, with the following
special message:
ITO the Honorable, the Members Of
the General Assembly Of the State
of South Carolina.
Gentlemen: I beg to inform your
honorable bodies that have approved
the act entitled An act to create and
operate a state warehouse system for
storing cotton and other commodities
After a careful and as thoughtful
consideration as I can give this act,
have serious and grave doubt of its
constitutionality, or that 1t will prove
as effective as 1t Is thought; but, in
view of the decided opinion, as ex-
pressed by the large number Of your
bodies voting for it, I deem 1t proper
to waive my views as to its doubtful
constitutionality and effectiveness to
give the relief to and promote the
good Of our cotton industry, and hope
that 1t may be the means Of saving
the farmers Of this state from the
evils and wrongs which the specu-
lators in our largest staple crop have
done, as we'll as the injury which
menaces them from the cotton mill
mergers in our state, which have
been formed within the last year and
which are still going on. 1t may,
trust also, be the instrument In the
hands of the farmers to relieve them
from the oppression which they have
endured from the allowance Of the
existence Of certain monopolies, trusts
and combinations, not only at the
north, but in our own state.
aTf N ahn1Il1 nrnVa tO he sufficient
to suppress or prevent these opera
tions and wrongs committed against
our people. 1t will be welcomed by the
whole people as glorious accom-
plishment and the wisest Of legisla-
ton.
"As the future conduct and opera
tion of the system just inaugurated
will most vitality affect the welfare
and condition of the state, 1t Is but
proper that I should suggest to you
that In the selection Of the commits
sioners to carry out this work that
there should be an avoidance from
making any one a member OF such
commission who holds any stock In
any of the mills now merged. consol-
idated or combined with other mills
of this state. or who may be other
wise interested in such combination
or merger. or who has any stock or
financial interest or engaged In any
allied corporation which Is or may be
likely to affect his duty to the public
and which will place him under any
influence inimical to the farmers of
the state In advancing or maintaining
the price Of cotton. 1t seems to me to
be most appropriate and wise that
three men, who are cotton planters
and receive their living from this
source. should be selected. and who
are free from expectation Of political
or financial gain outside
Of the success of the business entrust-
ed to their care; for this Is a great
experiment we are entering upon. If
it fails 1t will prove a heavy blow to
the farmers Of the state and to the
whole commonwealth"

Brother Dave Grist editor Of The
Yorkville Enquirer, we are afraid 1s
off. the track He Is taking view OF
things political that appears very Pc
culiar to his friends and admirers
throughout the state. He Is a dyed-in-
the wool Prohibitionist and because or
the fact that II appears now that no
Prohibitionist will make the race Tor
governor, he seems sort OF at outs
with everybody. Maybe the extremely
cold weather we have been having or
late has helped to get him out or hu-
NOR; but this has passed now and the
sun shines brightly, and with the
warmth of spring he ought to cheer up.
-Greenville Piedmont, Monday.
The foregoing is the opening para
graph of an editorial that expresses
regret for our attack on Hon. w. F..
Stevenson, that patriot who man.
ages to get such good pay for repre-
senting his county in the general as
sembly, and goes on to inquire why we
did not refer to "Mr. Rembert, the
leader of the Blease forces, or Mr.. K.
p. Smith, as a leader Of the Blease
members"
Answering the Piedmonts question,
we will say that we did not even so
much as hear the names Of Mr.. REM
bert or K P. Smith mentioned while
we were in Columbia and it did not
occur to us to refer to them. Since
the Piedmont has called our attention
to the fact, however, we do not want
to be understood as denying that we
are aware that these gentlemen, neith-
er of whom we know personally, are
Blease lieutenants.
But our principal reason for repro
ducing the paragraph from the Pied
mont Is to dissent from the character
ization as a dyed -the-woo Prohi-
bitionist who is at outs with everybody
because it appears that no Prohibition
ist will make the race"
We are not the kind that would get
in behind any man who says he Is q
Prohibitionist. There are a number
of folks, some Of them prominent. who
could run as Prohibitionists without
exciting our concern. If the Piedmont
will take the trouble to inquire, Mr..
Featherstone will tell him that the ed
itor of The Enquirer advised Mr.
Featherstone two years ago not to
stress prohibition; but to run on his
manhood, to take a position like this:
II am opposed to giving the sanction
of the law to the sale Of liquor any
where under any circumstances; but
above all else am in favor of strict
enforcement Of the laws as l find
them" Mr.. Featherstone declined to
take any such opinion. His view was
that it would look like a compromise
and he would rather be defeated. The
Enquirer did not particularly stress
prohibition in that campaign; but
worked as far as it could along the
lines that Mr.. Featherstone was work.
ing. We thought then and we still
think whole lot of the people who were
following Mr.. Featherstone, and we be-
lieve that If the state government is
ever put under the management Of
that kind Of people the situation will
be very much improved. But our good
friend, the Piedmont, will please not
put us down as malcontent rushing
from one extreme to the other. If we
cannot get what we think Is absolutely
best, then we will always be found try
ing to establish what we think Is the
best to be had.
