The Wheeling Business Mems asso-
citation has made an investigation OF
the firm OF John Riley" nov To-
Gated at No. 1884 Market street. and
has requested publication of the fol-
lowing statement, which Is self-ex-
planatory.
To the Public:
A committee OF the Business Mems
association has made some investiga
ton OF the firm located at 1874 Mar
ket street. purporting TO do mer-
chant tailoring business under the
name of John Riley.
We find that there Is no one con.
nected with the local establishment
by the name OF Riley. and the man
ayers OF the concern admitted in the
presence OF two officers OF this associ.
alton and OF Officers Hastings and
BUGGY that his name was not John
Riley, and that he had no title to do
business under that name; also that
he had not been located 20 years on
broadway or engaged in the merchant
tailoring business in New York City
for that length Of time.
The man whose picture has ap.
peared in the newspaper advertise
ments is not John Riley.
The advertising methods OF the
concern are similar TO the advertise
ments OF a concern that did business
In Youngstown. Ohio. last fall, and
left that place after receiving a con
siderable amount of money on deposit,
without furnishing the suits ordered.
or refunding the money. as the COM
mittee is informed.

WITHIN THE TOWN.

The town really needs more
houses ..f>
There has been more or less mad
dog excitement about Yorkville dur
ing the past few weeks and a number
of people think 1t would be q good
idea to muzzle the dogs.
A little daughter Of Mr.. Dupre, su-
perintendent Of the Water, Light and
Power plant developed typhoid fever
recently. The family having moved to
Yorkville three months ago. there
was no question of the fact that the
fever was developed here, and natur-
ally the first suspicion fell on the pub
lie water supply. Mr.. DuPre imme-
diately drew a sample Of water from
spigot in his home and sent 1t to
DR.. F. L. Parker for analysis, and the
doctors report is that the water Is
absolutely pure from meteorological
indications.
The Spartanburg Boosters were in
Yorkville yesterday about 100 strong.
They came in a special train consist

burg Chamber of Commerce. They
were met at the Southern depot by q
number of automobiles gotten togeth-
er through the joint efforts Of Mayor
Hart and the Board Of Trade, and
brought up to the court house square
where a large crowd Of Yorkville peo-
pie had gathered to meet them. The
band with the boosters gave a musi-
cal concert in the court house yard,
and the boosters. all Of whom carried
red, white and blue umbrellas, and
some of whom wore more or less fam
tastic costumes, paraded the streets
distributing literature advertising
Spartanburg. In the course of few
remarks through a megaphone. Mr..
John Wood took occasion to tell the
people that the object Of the boosting
trip was to cultivate the friendly re-
lations already existing between Spar
tarburg and surrounding towns, and
to invite surrounding towns to come
to Spartanburg for things that they
will not find at home. The boosters
spent Wednesday evening in Chester.
Wednesday night and yesterday morn
ing in Rock Hill, and were on their
way back home with two or three
more stops to make enroute.
