WITHIN THE TOWN.

Mr.. ]. E. Stroup has moved into the
[house on Wright avenue until re-
Gently occupied by Mr.. d. E. Boney, and
Mr.. D. E. Boney has removed into the
house recently vacated by Mrs. Craw-
ford. Mrs. Crawford is living in Miss
Willie Williams home. on East Jeffer-
son street. Mr.. r. L. deLoach has
moved to Cleveland avenue, and Mr.
Geo. G. Eaves will move to the house
on Kings Mountain street vacated by
Mr.. deLoach.
The water, light and power de-
partment had a busy time Of 1t yes
terday. The rain which had been
falling during Wednesday night began
to freeze and at about 3 o'clock yes
terday morning the electric light and
telephone wires became so overloaded
that they could bear the strain no
longer and broke in a number of
places. Supt. DuPre was out in a
driving rain all day doing his best to
get things in shape for last night.
A street show company made ap-
plication to the town council We'd
nesday for permission to do business
In Yorkville a week. The show man
tried the different members Of the
council individually and collectively;
but nothing doing. He finally came
down to a suspicion that maybe 1t was
a matter of money; but on this point
he was given to understand that the
show would not be allowed to come to
Yorkville at any price. Through OBJ
servation and experience the council
is convinced that these shows all have
a generally bad effect and they will
have no more Of them.

ABOUT PEOPLE.

SMiss Maggie Gist Of Yorkville. is
spending some time with Mrs. D. e.
Finley, in Washington.
- Mrs. N. G. Gonzales Of Columbia,
and Mrs. Frank Barron Of Charleston,
are the guests of Miss Bessie Barron
in Yorkville.
: DR.. M. ]. Walker Of Yorkvllle, was
taken to Charlotte on Wednesday for
an x-ray examination Of his broken
thigh. The fractured bone has not
been knitting as 1t should, and it had
become evident that one leg would
be shorter than the other. After
careful consideration Of the whole
situation, 1t was thought best for the
sufferer to go over to Charlotte for
the x-ray examination and from there
he went on to Baltimore. There is a
probability that the leg may be brok-
en- over again, so as to ensure a prop
er setting and bring about mend
ing that will leave both legs the same
length.

be up to us to pull off our hats and
hurrah for anybody. We have not
been accustomed to doing any such
thing heretofore.
Possibly We are mistaken, but just
now we do not remember that The
ENQUIRER has ever asked the people Of
York county to vote for anybody but
once, and that was when we urged
and begged them to vote for Finley
when he was first elected.
If the Record desires to stand for
Jones we have not the slightest OBJ
lection. If it thinks it should stand
for Jones, that Is what it should do.
If, on the other hand, 1t should think
it should stand for Blease, we would
not quarrel with it. Furthermore, we
would not quarrel with 1t even If 1t
should declare that 1t does not belong
to anybody.

ed on the ground till March. It was
most noticeable, of course, on the
north sides Of the hills. There was
good deal Of distress among the peo-
pie and they had to haul their wood
on sleds. There were more partridges
In those days than now, and they died
by the thousands, and along with them
also died thousands Of other birds,
rabbits and other wild animals. Mr..
Love remembers a number Of winters
that were more severe than this pres

Is the heaviest within his recollection.
Y. M. c. A. for Rock Hill.
Rock Hill special to News and Cour-
Ter: For many years DR.. d. B. john
son Of Winthrop college, has been ad-
lvocating q Y. M. G. A. for Rock Hill,
and on number Of public occasions
he has pointed out the need Of such
an organization here. Recently, at
the banquet Of the Chamber Of Com
merce and at the meeting for aiding
the Men and Religion Forward Move
ment DR.. Johnson has spoken even
more earnestly than usual upon this
crying need, laying emphasis upon the
fact that 1t Is an almost absolutely
necessary factor In the work of the
boy problem committee. OF course,
there are many others here who have
desired such an institution and have
favored starting 1t, and they are now
more than ever interested in the mat
ter. It Is very probable that the or
ganization will be made very soon.
Mayor John T. Roddey, who during
his three OF four terms of office has
shown himself not only public spirited
but personally sacrificing, has at once
solved the first important question
and made matters easier all along the
line by coming forward with the gen.
erous offer of leasing, rent free, to q
Y. M. C. A., the entire second floor
and roof garden Of his building on
Railroad avenue, the only proviso be-
ing that they show him they mean
business. The building is a new and
|commodious one on the car line and
near the Southern station. 1t is in a
grove. centrally located. and can be
made admirably suited for the pur-
poses Of the organization with little
outlay. This very generous offer will
In all probability be taken advantage
Of as soon as possible.

One Of the things we cannot under
stand is why the Lancaster News
should think that 1t is the bounden
duty of The Yorkville Enquirer to be-
come the political organ Of one or the
other Of the candidates for governor
The reason we cannot understand
this is because we have always con-
sidered the first duty Of The Enqui-
rer to be to it's subscribers, not to the
politicians. We will try to treat all
the politicians as fairly as we can; but
we hope we will never reach the
place where we are afraid to express
an honest view because of the danger
of costing somebody vote.

Now comes the Rock Hill Record

Now comes the Rock Hill Record
and says:
We are curious TO see If The En-
quirer will come out openly and say
1t stands for Blease as opposed to
Jones. Certainly, The Enquirer has
the privilege of it's convictions, politi-
cal or otherwise; but we believe 1t
Is due the people Of York county that
it should state its position in this
campaign more unequivocally.
The Rock Hill Record stands for
Jones, and we are proud of It.
If The Enquirer was not pretty open
in what it said, then The Enquirer has
a poor way of expressing itself.
We appreciate the Records advice
that it believes it the duty of The
Enquirer to state it's position in this
campaign more unequivocally, but we
really do not feel called upon to fol-
low the Records advice.
For one thing, the lists are not clos
ed yet. and even after they have been
closed, we do not consider that It will

The forty day period for which the
general assembly can draw pay ex-
pires tomorrow; but as to whether
there will be a sine die adjournment
or a recess has not been made clear.
There has been some sentiment to the
effect that instead Of adjourning it
would be a good idea to take a re-
cess until the latter part of May, and
act upon the code after the recess. The
real purpose of this arrangement would
be to afford an opportunity to pass on
such vetoes as the governor might see
proper to exercise. But what will be
night.

j. P. Matthews, financial agent of
the state, on February addressed a
letter to the governor Of South Caro-
lima in which he charged that a PIE
vious letter, sent to the general ss-
sembly in a special message on t1e
state loan incident had been twisted
and its meaning perverted. The let
ter of Mr.. Matthews seems to clear Up
the controversy between the governor
and Robert H. Jennings, the stIte
treasurer. Mr.. Matthews states in lis
letter that he called at the office Of
the governor and dictated a letter on
the state loan. The letter was laer
presented to Mr.. Matthews with the
statement that 1t was necessary to
cut out part because of repetition. He
consented, according to his letter, nut
several phrases were added. He staes
that he did not read the letter upon
the statement Of the stenographer tlat
only the repetitions had been cut. Ror
instance, Mr. Matthews claims tlat
the following line was inserted In lis
letter: The transaction was not cn-
cluded; neither were the notes sigred
until after we reached New YORK."
There are many other such ALLEGED
changes in the letter, which would
make 1t read as substantiating the 20
sition of the governor. The governor
in a special message to the gene.al
assembly said: Whatever differences
may have taken place between Mr..
Matthews, as agent Of the state, and
the state treasurer, as to the amounts
drawing interest, Is no concern OF
mine; and If the amounts did rot
draw interest as was agreed with ne
they should do, Mr.. Matthews letter
clearly shows the reason. l could oily
make the agreement that 1t shoild
draw interest; 1t was the duty of he
state treasurer to see that the agree
ment was complied with" In reply
to a question from r. H. Jennings, he
state treasurer. as to the loan drawing
interest as claimed by the goverTpr
Mr.. Matthews made the following
statement In a letter. In reply to
your third question, which Is as d.
lows: What was the agreement le-
tween yourself and Governor Bletse
as to the borrowed money on deposit
in your bank drawing interest?' l Reg
to state that there was no agreement"

In the hope Of making people take
a deeper interest in the franchise.
Massachusetts, is considering the idea
of levying a poll tax Of $s on each
voter and giving the voter credit for
81 each time he votes in primary.
There are enough primaries to reduce
the tax down to about 81, provided
the voter turns out to each one Of
them.

Notwithstanding all this row about
the state house, the plain truth is that
If the matter had come up two years
ago during Governor Ansel's adminis-
tration, there would have been no
such opposition. The s13,50o would
have been paid for the plans and from
$1,000, 900 to s3.O0O.000 would have
been spent on the building. No one
has any recollection Of Columbia hav-
ing ever before objected to the ex-
penditure Of the states money where
Columbia was to be the principal ben
eficiary

The dispute about that 100000
loan has grown quite interesting. The
latest development is a letter from
Governor Blease's stenographer, Mr..
Blackburn, to Mr.. ]. P. Matthews,
cashier of the Palmetto National
bank, putting clearly up to Mr.. Matth-
ews an allegation Of double dealing.
While there does not seem to be any
question of the good faith Of Treas
urer Jennings throughout the whole
matter, 1t is clear that some more ex-
plantations should be forthcoming
from Mr.. Matthews.

sleet mostly and covered the ground
to a depth Of twelve or fifteen inches.

HAWLEY's VETO.

Hawley's veto has been disastrous !:
In 2 large amount appropriated for
legitimate public expenses, Governor
Hawley crippled the educational work
alone by vetoing appropriations for
these institutions to the extent Of
s252.94s.60-a thrust at the pride Of
Idaho! The courts and other state
institutions similarly suffered.
The legislature gave women equal
rights 10 the ownership OF community
property. Hawley vetoed 1t.
The legislature made 1t unlawful for
conspirng politicians to manipulate
primaries. Hawley vetoed it--and en-
couraged such violation.
The legislature gave cities the right
to regulate electric light rates. Haw-
ley vetoed 1t. and thereby set at
naught q natural right Of the people.
The legislature wanted the people
to know the laws 1t passed, and ap-
propriated money for their publication.
Hawley vetoted THE was giving out
