WITHIN THE TOWN

There was a sudden fall of snow
yesterday during a few minutes al
about 1880 o'clock. It came as a sur.
prise. ~
Mr.. W., J. P. Wylie is having lum-
ber laid down on his lot on Lincolr
street with the intention Of building 6
six room cottage. .,.-.,sg
There were more people in York.
Vile last Saturday afternoon than have
been here on any previous occasion
since last spring. Some weeks previ.
GUS the pressure. Of cotton picking had
been so great that the people just sim.
ply could not come out; but now since
most Of the crop is out and the bust.
ness people are constantly adding t.
the attractions they have to offer the
Saturday afternoon trade is on the in.
crease. ........s... s...a.. a:
The Lyric Theatre company, ]. L
McManus, manager, opened up in the
McNeel building last Saturday night
after several days Of preparation, and
had quite full house as a starter. The
equipment of the Lyric, with elevated
floors, silver screen and an Edison
projecting machine, Is rather better
than any moving picture outfit the
town has yet had. Mr.. McManus says
he is going to give excellent service
including frequent special features
and deserve a steady patronage.
There were two fire alarms In
Yorkville yesterday, the first one in
the afternoon about 8 o'clock, being
turned in on account of fire in the
ceiling Of the residence Of Mrs. ]. c.
Mckenzie on Kings Mountain street.
The blaze was extinguished without
any serious damage. Last night al
10 o'clock the report got out that the
residence Of Mr.. w. J. P. Wylie on Lin
coin street, was on fire. The fire
wagon reached the scene in a few
minutes only to be told that the alarm
was false.
john Demas, his wife and sister-in-
law, in charge of the Greek Candy
Kitchin were arrested last Sunday and
placed under bonds Of 500 each to an
swer to the charge of theft and con-
cealing stolen goods. The warrant was
sworn out by James Garner, who lives
on the Charlotte road near Yorkville,
and who claims that when he called
for package that was left in the store
for safe keeping the defendants denied
all knowledge of 1t, and refused to give
1t up. The package was afterward
found in an outhouse on the premises,
and the arrest followed. Another
Greek who had come to the candy kit
chin only the day before left on the
early Sunday morning train going to-
ward Blacksburg and has not been ar
rested. The case will probably be
heard before Magistrate Conner tomor-
row.

. Editor Grist Of The Yorkville En-
ouirer in his "grouchy'' comment on
the fair says that we stole the Boys
Corn Club and Girls Tomato Club
from Yorkville. It is not q fact that
both of these were organized at Win
throp college in Rock Hill, 8. CT
Rock Hill Record.
The Enquirer has said nothing to
warrant the use of the word stole"
in the above. In teasing Mr.. o. K.
Williams Of the Record, on the streets
Of Rock Hill, the editor Of The Enqui-
rer told him you people stole the
Boys Corn club, added the Tomato
club and the home institute, ETC." As
matter of fact the corn club was
organized in the court house at York
Vile, on February 10, 1910, through
the efforts of c. ]. Hughes, then dem
onstration agent; T. 2. McMaakin
then superintendent Of education, and
The Yorkville Enquirer, which had
advertised the matter beforehand for
weeks, at the especial request OF Ira
w. williams, then in charge of the
demonstration work in South Caro-
lima. L. A. Nevin, then Of Winthrop
college, was also present, and al
though the understanding at that time
was that the meeting was to be held
in Yorkville in the fall Mr. Nevin, by
personal letters to the boys, managed
to connect 1t up with Winthrop's
home institute. The first subscribers
to the prize fund for the Boys Corn
club were The Yorkvile Enquirer, IS;
w. r. Carroll. Yorkville, IS, and ]. C.
Wilborn, Yorkville, IS. These are
the facts; but as to whether the Rec
ord really means to claim anything
different the reader will have to read
carefully the last sentence quoted
above and decide for himself.

The unwritten law Of the sea is that
when captain loses ship he is de-
barred from ever being put in full
command again; but in the case OF
Captain Inch, Of the Volturno this rule
is not to be applied. The company
that owned the Volturno recognizes
that Captain Inch displayed all the
courage, heroism and intelligence thai
could be expected Of any man under
the circumstances.

Mr.. Underwood insisted on standing
by that s per cent reduction in tariff
duties on goods brought in American
ships. and we are not prepared to say
that he is wrong. AS to whether this
expedient will have any effect in the
desired direction remains to be seen;
but certainly the United States should
do something to develop its merchant
marine to an extent that will relieve
so much dependence on other coun-
tries.

The Long Staple Market.
A citizen of the Beersheba neighbor-
hood told The Enquirer last Saturday
that he had sold nine bales Of Lewis
long staple cotton in Gastonia at II
cents pound. and that the buyer gave
him separate check, for 50 on the
side. That is he was paid in two
checks, one for bonus Of 81 a bale.
The citizen referred to went on to
make some remarks about the unsat-
isfactory condition Of the long staple
market. He said there was good rea-
son to believe that the competition
was not as fair and open as was the
case in the short staple market, and
that long staple is not bringing any
thing, likesits value. Tn fact" he said,
"a Gastonia buyer told me that II
would ship my cotton to Mississippi
and have it shipped back to Gastonia
as Mississippi long staple. would get
1s cents a pound. OF course I could
not do that; put ] DO not see why the
nome buyers VIII not pay as much for
the home product as for the foreign
product when the home product is just
as good"

Your Personal Appearance
How to Take Care of Your Skin in Summer.
BY MADAME MILLEFLEURS.

Be out doors as much as pos
sible during the long summer
days. Exercise enough to get
often into profuse perspiration.
But do not needlessly burn or tan
your hands and face. II you are
going for a motor ride or game
of golf rub your face over with
cold cream made after the follow
ing recipe and then powder plenti-
fully.
This skin food and cream is
used by nearly all reputable
beauty specialists, and time and
use has shown It is much the
best ointment for preserving and
softening the skin that Is known:
White wax, one-haf ounce. sper-
maceti, one-half ounce; lanolin,
one ounce; sweet almond oil,
two ounces; cocoanut oil, one
ounce.
Take off the fire and beat
until cold, adding, little by little,
two ounces of orange flower wa
ter, to which five drops of tine
ture of benzoin have been added.
Be sure to beat the Ingredients
constantly until quite cold. They
must be of the best and purest
quality, and the druggist from
whom they are purchased must
weigh them carefully.
After wiping off all the cream,
dust your face and neck with q
pure powder.
II unfortunately you get sun
burned, cover your face with a
paste made of subnite of bismuth
and lemon juice. Put this on inn
mediately and 1t will aI.ay the
pain and take the redness out.
Use hot water freely on your face
at night and then cover for q
few minutes with cloths wet In
cold water.
Do not tan your face and hands
needlessIy. Tan does not always
denote health, for you can be Just
as healthy with fine complexion
as with an ugly one.
Never put water on your face,
hands or arms Immediately after
coming In from out Of doors. Try
rubbing the dirt off with cold
cream.
think that once day ii often
enough to wash ones face with
water, either summer or winter,
and this should be done Just be-
fore going to bed.
Use plenty Of pure soap. much
hot water and scrub your skin
weE. The remainder OF the time
you can do as the little son OF q
friend of mine did. He had been
sent to the bathroom for bath
and came out with q very dirty
face.
