Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1913-10-10

six or eight miles Of Yorkville, we
would be tempted to make try at
milking a few cows for the purpose Of
selling butter fat to the creamery. It
may be that the proposition does not
show big profits on its face; but Of one
thing there is no question and that Is
the fact that g. steady market that Is
always available is an item Of no lit
tie moment. One ought to be able to
tell exactly what he can do.
The advertisement Of the Hamilton
Carhartt company in The Enquirer
today ought to find not a few interest
ed people among our readers. This
company ranks amongst the most
eminently respectable manufacturing
companies of the state. 1t has the
reputation of seeking only the best
and most efficient Of help, and In
taking especial and particular inter-
est in the welfare Of its employees
Girls who are seeking the kind Of
work specified and who feel able to
measure up to requirements. will make
no mistake in going to see about the
matter, or sending in their applica-
ton. -.
The parcel post service has been
enjoyed by the public for nine months
now, and has been Of particular value
and benefit to the towns and rural
communities, but the unfortunate star
route mail carriers are sharing In the
general extra burden for nothing, and
Uncle Sam is helping the public some
what at their expense. The carriers
were notified by the postoffice depart
ment last February that extra pay
would be granted them in due time
for the extra work, but five months
passed in which nothing was done,
and then when they sought relief
they were told that the increase
weight was not sufficient to justify an
increase in pay-this despite the fact
that the pracels post makes a regular
Santa Claus out Of the rural carriers
every day in the year. 1t Is an inter-
esting thing that the complaint Of the
rural mail carriers Is exactly the same
complaint that has been filed on an
immensely larger scale by the rail-
roads Of the country. They, too, have
suffered from the postal departments
policy Of falling to increase the re-
numeration adequately though the vol
ume Of the mail Is greater. 1t Is
hoped, however, that under the DEM
ocratic administration, some sort OF
relief will be granted.
Speaking Of the celebration at Kings
Mountain last Tuesday, a gentleman
who was there said to one who was
not there: 1T was a tremendous
crowd-acres and acres Of people,.
could hardly say how many, and I do
not believe I saw a drunk man during
the whole day." mo-" replied the
other, that does not go any more like
it did when you and I were boys"
The first speaker, who was old enough
to remember conditions Of years gone
by, agreed. 1t Is fact. There Is not
anything like the drunkenness there
used to be; but why? II we are allow
ed to answer the question we will say
that it is simply because intoxicating
liquors have been outlawed and are
harder to get. There is not as much
general thirst for intoxicating liquors
or the effects thereof, as there used to
be; but that thirst Is as strong In In
dividuals as it has ever been. or
course liquor can be had; and when
man gets a jug he Is just as anxious
to share 1t with his friends as he ever
was, and they are just as willing to-
Join him in disposing Of the contents.
But there are fewer people who get
jugs or cases Of liquor, and the few
jugs or cases that are gotten have to
20 further. Therefore, there is not so
much general drinking as there was.
However no one should be deceived
into believing that the old times that
used to be cannot return. Relaxation
on the liquor traffic will soon bring
them back, and as liquor becomes
more plentiful and easier. to get the
number of hard drinkers will increase.
The liquor that used to make rowdy-
isIN so common, needs only to be turn
