her woe. an me. was much larger
She had a birthday Kin four de-

perfume and jewelry, and kin not quite
so far removed sent more, that being
one Of the unwritten rules Of Kinvile.
Her father had given her a gold
watch, her mother had given her dia-

months allowance in buying her a
locket as big as the moon.
They expected her to he Joyful. for
every longing she had expressed was
gratihed But she swept them aside
with sad eyes, thanked them with the
tears coming, and then went to her
room 10 eat her heart out, canni-

love.
For HE her Best Beloved had sent

Advice to the
Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
LOVE CAN'T BE COMPELLED

LOVE CAN'T BE COMPELLED.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
1 am seventeen, and deeply in
love with girl three years my SEN
ior, and l am sure she reciprocates.
Several times l have asked her to
marry me, but she has always re-
fused. Recently I saw her on the
street with another young man. She
did not recognize me.
HEARTBROKEN.
If she doesn't care for you, and ha
told you so, you should be enough Of
man to take her at her word and re
main away. Give some other man
chance, and learn to be glad for he
sake if he is a good man And, remem
Der, there are other girls, and you
happiness doesn't depend on this on
as much as you think.

and Ill as he felt, sent him spraying for

the men following in the close packed

The tragedy he had witnessed had done
nothing to weaken his resolve to attempt
to escape; he had formulated his own
plan and it seemed 10 him to have the
elements of safety. That other breaking
away had been merely the thoughtless,
aimless attempt of a mailman.
His thoughts ran persistently on Betty
on that dream which had seemed like
warning and an appeal II he could
only write or hear-but the time for writ
ing or receiving letters had not come
around for him yet; he could hope for
no lenency in this matters Saucers had
set down certain bad marks against him
for what he alleged TO have been insubor-
GERS in their duty on the day of the at
dinaton and the obstruction of the Off
tempted escape.
Stating His Case
Thrashing about in his mind for some
means of help, Rimington bethought him
of the recently appointed chaplain The
new clerical official had called on him
once during his time in the in1rmary. and
Remington had taken to him instantly
He was young and very silent but there
was something attractive in his person

rather rugged outline, in his blue eyes
under level hrows, that met the gaze of

From inside Rnmouth, certainly; but,

beat al his heart all that day as he
dragged himself about his work with such
difficulty that more than once he drew

the world with look as placid and limo
cent as that of a child.
The next morning Rimington put it
down on his slate-"To see the chaplain. "
When he found himself face to face
with the clergyman, who, after all, was
only man of his own age, possibly with
many interests in common, educated on
the same lines and toward the same
deals, Remington found il very hard to
STATE his case. He had not the flow of
language which enabled many of his com
panions to spin an amazing tale, to Law
bare with an unblushing effrontery life
secrets that hrardly bore to be thought
of. Here in prison he felt the same re-
ttcence that he would have felt in the
outer world in mentioning TO a stranger
the name of the woman he loved.

THE MEAT LICENSE.

The meat license question recently
raised by a resolution served on the
local market men, which resolution was
published in the last issue Of The En-
quirer, has been settled, at least for
the present, by action that puts the
whole matter back where 1t was before
the question was raised.
There was q meeting Of the council
last wednesday afternoon, at which
meeting there were present, Mayor
Hart, Aldermen Starr, Sherer, Young
blood, Moore and Pegram, and w. w.
Lewis, the town attorney" Alderman
Wood was not present.
Mr.. ]. 8. Brice went before the board
as attorney for Mr.. c. F. Sherer, and
made statement in which he set forth
the facts Of the situation both as attor-
ney and as a citizen. He held that rev.
ocation of the license would be both
unjust and unwise. Mr.. c. F. Sherer
also made statement Of certain facts
in his own behalf, and represented
among other things that In 80 far as he
could gather information there was but
little or no demand for a revocation Of
license that would result in free mar
ket.
Some of the members Of the council,
The Enquirer Is informed, discussed
the matter freely, and some did not dis
cuss 1t at all. One member stated, ac-
cording to our information, that since
the matter had been brought up, he
had consulted a dozen or more citizens
as to their wishes in regard to the rev.
ocation of the license and he had
found only one who had expressed
himself as being in favor Of such ac-
tion.
A resolution was offered to the effect
that the former action of council
whereby the marketmen had been noti-
fed that unless they reduced prices to
Is cents, 12a and 10 cents, ETC., their
licenses would be revoked be rescind-
ed, and this resolution was adopted
three to nothing.

DREDGING cRowpERs' CREEK.

The work Of dredging Crowder's
creek, which was commenced a while
before Christmas, has been going on
through the recent severe weather, and
Is proceeding nicely and satisfactorily.
From a Yorkville gentleman who
made brief inspection of the work re-
Gently, The Enquirer learns that up to
this time the dredge has proceeded q
little over a mile and Is going at the
rate of $50 to 200 feet day.
In all the present undertaking calls
for about twelve miles of dredging and
1t is estimated that when completed
there will be restored to profitable cul-
tivation about 1000 acres of land at q
cost of from S. to $12 an acre.
The ditch Is being cut ten feet deep
and fifteen wide, and there seems to
be no doubt that this will be ample for
the purposes in view. Because Of the
narrowness OF the Crowders' creek bot
toms, the area to be benefited will be
only about 1000 acres, a much smaller
area than would be helped by the same
amount of dredging in most of the
creeks farther south.
AS to what the general effect is go
ing to be can best be told after 1t Is
all over; but as matters now stand
practically all Of the land owners in
terested are very enthusiastic. over the
prospect. Some Of them calculate that
acres which they now regard as prac-
tically worthless except to grow bull
rushes on, will be worth 800 each.

NEW COUNTY TALK.

The Rock Hill Herald Of Wednes-
day has the following that Is inter-
esting:
1T Is more than probable that steps
will be taken to have the bill intro
duced in the state legislature to amend
the section Of the constitution relat-
ing to new counties killed or amend
ed. The matter is being discussed
by those who are favoring the forma-
ton in the near future of Catawba
county out Of portions of York, Lam
caster and Chester.
ut Is understood that several gen.
tlemen will write the York represent
atives, especially Senator W. H. Stew
art, to have the bill defeated, or
so special provision can be
made for the formation Of the new
county in the near future. 1t Is also
stated that the Chamber Of Commerce
will be asked to send a delegation to
Columbia to present to the legislators
some Of the many reasons why a new
county should be formed as Is pro-
posed. What action will be taken Is
not known, for the matter was not
generally discussed until this morn
ing. However, all who have expressed
themselves are united on the point
that whatever Is to be done must be
done at once or 1t will be too late.
"The constitution at present re-
quires that when new county Is
formed 1t must leave the old county
an assessed valuation Of $4,000 900,
and population of $1,000 inhabitants.
With the exception of area, York
could be divided as proposed and
leave $1,000 inhabitants and an as
sessed valuation Of over $4,000. 900,
but In case the proposed amendment
is adopted, raising the assessment to
$5,000,000, then II would blast the
hopes Of dividing the county. as II
will be long time before the western
half has an assessed valuation ex-
ceeding five millions, according to a
who have discussed the mat
ter.
"A number who have been ap-
preached regarding the move the new
county advocates should now take are
of the opinion that. the present bill
the constitution should be
killed or held up, until special bill
applicable to York county only can
ed allowing the formation Of the new
county. 1t Is stated that the conditions
here are different from those existing
In any other part Of the state, and
therefore the voters Of the state ought
to be willing to allow the amendment,
inasmuch as the people living in the
territory the new county would en-
brace are to a man, almost, In hearty
favor Of the movement.
1.-The estimated assessed value Of Ca
tawba, Ebenezer, Fort Mill and Bethes-
da townships the portion of York
that would be embraced In the new
county is In the neighborhood of
%. 100000. while the 1910 census gave
the population as 26,279. The popu-
lation for the remainder Of the county
is 21,436, according to the census re-
turns. While the assessed valuation
is not known. 1t will probably exceed
50 ZOO 600
