Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1913-04-18

Why not make up q team selected
from several schools and try that
cock sure Yorkville team out? asks the
Rock Hill Herald. Now, really that Is q
good suggestion, and as the matter Is
generally understood it is just what
the Yorkville team is itching for.
The Chester High school baseball
team defeated the Yorkville High
school on the formers grounds We'd
nesday afternoon. The Yorkville boys
played very poor game and the Ches-
ter boys had little trouble in winning
the game by score Of to l.
Yes, people can do business without
advertising, some business, even some
broad, healthy business; but the great
mass Of newspaper readers think more
of a man or firm when they are kept
familiar with the name in their favor
lite newspaper. The Yorkville Enquir-
er Is the favorite newspaper OF large
number Of mighty fine people. That is
right.
May is, sell to the highest bidder at or
above par the $4,000 OF court house
bonds. The commission has already
had applications for portions OF the is
sue at par, and one party has offered
to take the whole issue on a PROPOSE
ton that will allow him to get the in
terest on the purchase money until 1t
has been expended in the construction
work. r.
Both of the Rock Hill papers had an
excellent report Of the Mondays and
Tuesdays court proceedings this week.
The, report Of both papers was practi-
caliy identical. The Herald's report
In Wednesdays paper purported to be
Special" correspondence from York.
Vile, and the Records report in yes
lterday's paper was duly credited to
THE Yorkville Enquirer, showing the
fake in the alleged Special"
Prof. Mason, of the bureau Of animal
industry was in Yorkville this week,
offering his services to farmers who
desire to build good silos. He agrees
to show folks just how to build a silo,
and help little II necessary. He help
ed to build a concrete silo for DIR. r..
A. Bratton on his farm near Yorkville,
and he also helped with one for Mr..
R. A. Patrick, at White Oak, In Fair;
field county. Prof. Mason claims, and
he is no doubt correct In 1t, that ensi-
lage is the best and cheapest food in
the world for milk cows.
There are certain folks running
around mouthing complaints against
The Enquirer because they claim 1t
does not "boom the town." OF these
mouthers we do not know one that has
ever done anything for the town; but
we know some for whom the town
as such, has done quite a good deal.
The Enquirer has not done much for
the town, not hundredth part as
much as 1t would like to do; but II
there is anybody in the town who has
done more, we would like to know just
when, where and how. II there is q
newspaper in the state which has done
more for the town in which 1t Is print
ed than The Enquirer has done, and Is
doing for Yorkville, we would be glad
to hear about 1t. More than once we
have raised more or less protest against
people who were trying to exploit the
town in the promotion Of their own
selfish interests, and all the time we
are on guard against such people,
withstanding such assaults as they
are able to make, to the best Of our
ability, instead Of joining in with them,
and that we think Is for the good OF
the town. And although there are
some who do not see 1t that way, that
uncomfortable way we have Of calling
attention from time to time to the way
the law is being ignored in the matter
of the publication Of ftemized reports
Of receipts and disbursements Is for
the good Of the town. The Enquirer
gets no pleasure out Of this kind of
thing; but everybody knows that when
officials ignore law in one particular,
there is very little guarantee that they
can be depended upon to obey In any
particular.
