Must Fight Rosendahl
Still Mr.. ToIman has made gains
if the reports from outlying districts
are to be credited. At present no
one knows who will get the nomina-
ton. But whether its Hassenstabor
Tolman he will have fight on his
hands after the primaries for William
Rosendahl, the popular blacksmith
of this city, will be candidate on
the Democratic ticket.
1t is unusual for the office of county

county this fall.
Mrs. Pratt Hard at Work
Early in the season Mrs. Adella G..
Pratt filed for the nomination on the
Republican ticket against H. J. Beb-
ermeyer and began an active CAM
paign. She has never let up. MIR.
Bebermeyer bought an automobile
and went out against her so that
they have made about as thorough
and stirring canvass of the county
as has been made in along time.
Both Names On Regular Ballot
Both parties are claiming the NOM
ination but the state wide primary
put the office on non-partisan basis
making it strictly a school office and
this changes things. Under that law
both names will go on the regular
ballot regardless of the primary vote,
unless one withdraws. Mrs. Pratt's
friends are optimistically declaring
she will win at both the primaries
and regular election.
Mr.. Bebermeyer's hackers are
making the same claims. The un-
certainty of the weather introduces
an element of uncertainty into the
contest as Mrs. Pratt's vote doubt
less would be cut by bad weather
owing to the difficulty ofgetting the
women to the polls under adverse
conditions.

who lived in Redwood for many years

first campaign until today he is one

Neither of his opponents is much

ROCK HILL VS.. YORkvIIIE

The Yorkville- Rock Hill football
game in Rock Hill Friday afternoon
resulted in a tie-12 to IL, neither team
being able to make the needed score to
win the contest.
The Yorkville boys opened the game
with the kickoff and the Rock Hill
lads played an aggressive game from
the beginning; making touchdown in
the first quarter.
The Yorkville boys got down to hard
play in the second quarter and the op-
posing eleven found it impossible to
score. In the third quarter the York
vile team made their first touchdown,
R. Finley the right tackle Of the local
team carrying the ball to the goal by
making sixty yard run. The York
vile boys made a second touchdown in
this quarter on a forward pass of the
ball, while the Rock Hill eleven was
again unable to score. At the begin
ming Of the fourth quarter Of the game
the score stood IL to in favor of the
locals.
The Rock Hill boys came up strong
in the last quarter and several times
broke through the Yorkville line for
big gains. which resulted in their max
ing second touchdown. Neither
team could make further headway
and when the last quarter was over
the score stood as above recorded,
12-12.
Garrison, the Yorkville center, was
easily the star of the Yorkville eleven.
He played an aggressive game at all
times and his skillful tackling and in
reference work had much to do with
making the two touchdowns for York
vile.
Kerr, Simrill and Kuykendal SEEM
ed to be the mainstays Of the Rock
Hill eleven, all three of them proving
formidable foes to the locals.
The officials were: referee, Derrick;
umpire, Kimball; head lineman, Thom-
son.

The weather man at Washington
says that still colder weather will
strike this section by the end Of the

liable to bring frost.
A local grocer advises The Enquirer
that he Is paying 25 cents pound for
breakfast bacon; and it seems to US
that a hint like this should be taken at
face value without delay. People In
this country can produce breakfast
bacon at half this price If they only
will.
It was Curtis Bryant instead Of John
Bryant, who was bound over to the
United States court last week on the
charge Of passing a dollar bill that had
been raised to a ten. The statement

gotten the names mixed.
Superintendent Of Education Quinn
has decided to provide the teachers Of
the common schools under his juris-
diction with report blanks so as to en-
able parents to keep up with the pro-

This is an innovation that will demon
strate its value as soon as it gets to
working smoothly.
The acreage seeded to alfalfa

YoRKvILLE VS.. HICKORY GROVE

The Yorkville football squad went to
Hickory Grove yesterday where they
played the local eleven Of that place
and as in the game at Rock Hill neith-
er team could win. The Yorkville boys
played a better game than they did at
Rock Hill but the Hickory Grove lads
were equally on the job and their steady
interference work prevented the To-
Gals from scoring. At one time during
the play the Yorkville lads were with
in six inches Of the goal but a sudden
rally on the part of the opposing eleven
prevented the making Of touchdown.
The Yorkville eleven played a good
defensive game and although they
could not score they did not find much
trouble in blocking the plays of the
Hickory Grove lads. The game con-
tinued for four ten-minute quarters
and when the last quarter was out
neither side had made a single point,
the result being 90. DR.. McFadden
refereed the game. The Yorkville elev-
en- goes to Chester Thursday morning
where they will play the high school
team of that town. A game has also
been arranged with Shelby to be play
ed in that town Monday.

WITHIN THE TOWN

The Mutt and jeff show next Fri
day night can be depended upon for q
lot of rollicking fun that will make
everybody laugh.
The walls Of the new Associate Re-
formed church building are about COM
pleted, and the carpenters are now
framing the roof timbers. It Is pretty
generally agreed that the outside ap-
pearance Of the building will come full
ly up to expectations.
The rainy weather at the end OF
last week put stop to cotton picking
and made a difference in business.
Although Yorkville people are q
little slow about taking on 20 the idea
of cooking with electricity, with the
increasing difficulty of getting cord
wood 1t looks as 1t will not be a great
while before the electric method will
be about the only method available.
The York cotton mill company is
successfully developing an experiment
in arbor culture that Is well worth the
investigation of local people who may
be interested in the subject The ex-
pertinent was commenced about four
years ago with the idea of making the
premises both beautiful and pleasant
during the summer by means Of prop
erly trained and distributed shade
trees. The Carolina Poplar was de-
cided upon as the most available and
desirable tree for the purpose, and fif-
ty-four young trees were put out in a
row along the main street of the viii
lage running parallel with the mill
building toward the office. All Of the
original trees except three grew UP
nicely and these were afterward re-
placed. The desirable qualities Of the
Carolina popular include rapid growth
and an abundance of large leaves. The
tendency of this tree Is to grow straight
up in a long slender shoot; but this
disadvantage Is checked by topping
every fall. The trees have been topped
twice during the past four years and
during the past year each Of them has
thrown up a straight slender shoot ten
or twelve feet above the last topping
The third topping will take place next
month. AS the result Of the topping
the size Of the trunk increases, and
the umbrella like development Of the
lateral branches becomes more pro-
nounced. Another advantage is that
the upper main shoots, or any Of the
branches for that matter, will when cut
off and stuck in damp ground, quickly
take root, and when subsequently
transplanted, continue to thrive as well
as the original trees. It will be work
Of several years Of course; but If the
original idea Is carried out as 1t has
been commenced, all the streets Of the
mill village will eventually be made
more shady and beautiful in this
manner.

BIG YIELD OF SORGHUM

AS one of the contestants in the $3.50
prize competition instituted by the
National Union bank Of Rock Hill,
last spring, Mr.. S. w. Barron secured
yield Of 133 tons of sorghum hay
from a single acre. The following, re-
lating to this unusual achievement,
was F. .epared for the current issue of
Southern Farming" by Prof. L. A.
Nevin, Of Clemson college,:
IAN unusually large yield of sor-
ghum cane has been made this year by
farmer Of York county, S. c.. Dur
ing the winter one of the banks in
that county announced that it would
give $3.50 In prizes to the farmers of
their territory making the greatest
average yield and the greatest net
profit on four acres. One-half Of the
prizes were offered for greatest aver
age yield and the other half for great
est net profit made. One of the main
reasons why these prizes were offered
was to promote interest in the diver
sification Of crops in that section.
Therefore all contestants for these
in cotton, one acre in corn, one in
"Mr. S. w. Barron entered this con-
test, and his chances for one Of the
prizes looks good. From his acre of
cane Mr.. Barron cut 13a tons of cane
hay. The acre on which the cane was
grown was planted in cotton last year,
and was at one time horse lot, which
caused II to be a rich place. During
the early spring this ground was brok-
en- deeply with two-horse plow and
narrowed and reharrowed until it was
in excellent condition. No manure or
fertilizer was applied. About April
Goth p bushels of orange cane seed
were sown broadcast and narrowed in.
June 1st, when this cane was about
knee high, Mr.. Barron gave 1t an ap-
plication of so pounds of nitrate Of
soda. No other fertilizer or manure
was used at any time. About August
1st, just as the seed began to show
signs of ripening, the cane was cut
with moving machine. After curing
eight days 1t was weighed and hauled
to the barn, and the total number of
pounds was $4,000. 1t was hauled in
loose, no attempt being made to tie
it in bundles.
"All who have used sorghum cane
as a forage, know that it is one of the
very best plants for this purpose that
can be found in the south. Stock like
it, and tremendous yields can be made
at a very small cost, as Is clearly
shown by Mr.. Barron's acre. Mr.. Bar
ron is also expecting another cutting
from this acre before frost comes. In
fact, he expects fully fourth or third
as much from the second cutting as
from the first. So it is seen that this
acre will yield at least seventeen tons
of cured hay. That there is more
profit in this than in cotton is evident.
especially when hay of all kinds Is so
scarce and high in price.
"If contests similar to this one could
be held in every county in the south
it would be only short time before
there would be no such things as train
loads of hay being shipped to the south
from other sections Of the country
Banks and other organizations all over
the south should follow the pace set
by this wide-awake bank, as it is we'll
known that anything that helps the
farmer will help all other people eth
er directly or indirectly"

There is {. a.street car strike on in
Columbia as the outcome of regula-
tions that have been going on for some
time between the employees and man
ayers of the Columbia Electric Street
Railway Light and Power company.
The principal question at issue has
been the recognition by the company Of
the Amalgamated association, the ma
tional organization of the street car
employees. The company was and is
willing to recognize the local organiza-
ton. 1t is willing to grant shorter
hours and more pay but it will not
recognize the national association. The
fight broke out last Saturday. The mo-
tormen and conductors struck and the
company continued its efforts ito man
age cars. The first disorder occurred
at the corner of Main and Gervais
street when about fifteen striking en-
ployes attempted to pull crew of car
barn employees from a car. Strike
leaders, however quieted the disturb
ance. Mayor Gibbs issued general or
ders in which he set forth tn purpose
of the municipal authorities to hold
even scales as between the strikers
and employees; but he warned the
employees that there must be no vio-
lence, or destruction of property.

Many thousands of Greeks doing

Many thousands of Greeks doing
business throughout America, have left
for Greece to join the colors in the war
against Turkey, and others are depart
ing by every available steamer. The
circumstance gives rise to most favor
able impressions of Greek patriotism
which is undoubtedly Of a high order.
1t is not a fact, however, that all the
Greeks in America are imbibed with
the same ideas of their obligations in
the matter. This flocking to the col
ors is confined principally to those
Greeks who left home with the idea of
making their fortunes in foreign lands
and returning after they had accumu-
lated completeness. AS a rule the
Greeks who have become naturalized
in America and other countries do not
feel that they have any extraordinary
interest in this scrap in the Balkans.

The paroling of Lonnie Hall by Gov
ernor Blease was a clear case of mis-
placed confidence on the part Of the
governor. Hall had been sent to the
penitentiary for twelve years for kill
ing a man some years ago. He was
turned loose by the governor, and now
he is in Jail again for killing a second
man. Wonder if the governor will pa
role him again n?-Orangeburg Times
Democrat.
The Columbia State, about ten days
ago, reported that Lonnie Hall had
killed another man in Columbia with
a slingshot made of a wire attached
to brick. Next day the State correct
ed the story. stating that the killing
was done by another Hall, no relation
to Lonnie Hall, who was not in that
part of the city at the time. But still
the story goes the rounds We know
practically nothing Of Lonnie Halls
case, and as to whether his parole in
volved misplaced confidence we are
unable to say. 1t is quite evident, how
ever, that the Times-Democrat's con-
clusion of misplaced confidence, Is
based upon misplaced facts.
