Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1913-02-11

The Yorkville Enquirer which came
to our desk Saturday morning contain
ed a two-column editorial, wherein the
Record figured quite conspicuously.
The Enquirer has laboriously In this
editorial, endeavored to show that the
Record Is unreliable, untrustworthy,
dishonest-and inferentially that The
Enquirer Is paragon Of the journals
tic world
If the latter Is a fact, why did the
representative men Of Yorkvil,e meet
last week and organize company to
publish another paper in that town? OF
course, this is a free country, and no
reason can be advanced by US or any.
one else why Yorkville should not have
a dozen papers If her people want them.
But, If The Yorkvile Enquirer Is so
all fired honest, and patriotic, and
square-why the need for another pa
per there?-Rock Hill Record.
That is the Records unfriendly view,
and we can only leave the answer to its
question to developments. In the mean
time we will take the liberty Of repro
ducing from the Chester Reporter of
yesterday somewhat more friendly
view:
"Yorkville to have another newspaper.
Won't the fur fly in that city now,
Grist having a competitor with whom
to quarrel?-Columbia Evening Record.
We don't know about that; but If the
newcomer should prove to be up to The
Enquirer in all-round general excel
lence. Yorkville will have two mighty
good newspapers"

The efforts of citizens of Smyrna to
correct the wrong that was perpetrat-
ed against them when upon the crea-
tion of the new county of Cherokee, the
line was established between Cherokee
and York, have failed. Sec. or Art. Z.
of the Constitution provides that no
new county line shall pass through an
incorporated city or town. Smyrna was
an incorporated town, at the time of
the establishment of the county of
Cherokee and the line went through,
regardless. The legislature fixed the
boundaries accordingly. Smyrna people
have been complaining about the mat
ter for years, and recently an effort
has been made to have the old wrong
righted; but it is no go. The legisla-
tive committee to which the matter
the line having been established, the
question cannot be re-opened and cited
recent supreme court decision as au-
thority for it's attitude. In other words.
The legal mind is able to follow the
reasoning whereby such a conclusion
can be arrived at; but the question is
beyond the comprehension of the lay
man who has been taught to consider
that the Constitution means what 1t
says. 1t is pretty generally known
that while the Constitution declares

The objects of the Girls Demonstra-

1. To stimulate interest and whole
some cooperation among the members
of the family in the home.
2. To provide some means by which
the girls may earn money at home and
at the same time get the education and
viewpoint for the ideal farm life.
3. To encourage rural families to pro-
vide purer and better food at a lower
cost, and to utilize the surplus and
otherwise waste products Of the garden
and orchard.
4. To furnish earnest teachers plan
for aiding their pupils and helping
their communities.
Each club should adopt the follow
ing general regulation and bylaws:
1. Girls joining clubs must be be-

classes may be organized for older

4. Each girl must plan her own crop
and do her own work. It will be per-
missible to hire heavy work done, but
the time must be charged.
Many girls should join these clubs
and put forth their best efforts to learn
and become skillful. It Is good thing
to know about plants soil and nature.
Why can't the very fiourishing Of the
plant be made, by teaching their scien-
tific and intensive methods OF bringing
living thing from the earth, as cul-
tural in its effect upon the mind Of the
girl, as the study Of Latin and Greek
gods is supposed to be over the mind of
the classical student? ..

So the dispensary winding-up COM

the view previously expressed by the

Augusta investigation, and charges
that it was deceived by Fielder, whom
The Enquirer had previously charac-

The United States senate on yester-

proposes to prohibit shipments Of
liquor from one state to another when
they are intended to be received In
violation Of the law Of the state to

of the legislation are endeavoring to
have the house concur on the bill
which passed the senate. The senate
bill differs from the Webb bill in GER

to cuncur on the senate bill, the Webb
bill will go to the president for his ap-
