THE FILBERT PICNIC

The Charlotte Observer of yesterday
has an editorial in which it discusses
the origin and the progress of the mod
ern political picnic from the days OF
the ancient Germans on down, and
then applies its lore to the approaching
picnic at Filbert as follows:
"Filbert is in York county on the
Carolina & North Western railroad

and twice as far below the North Car
olina line. Its honors as a great place

oEE For ENcAMPMENI

Company l., 8. c. N.yG., of York
Vile, left Wednesday morning at 1890
o'clock for Anderson where they will
go into encampment together with the
other companies Of the First regiment
For a while Wednesday morning II
looked as II Co. L. would be unable to
leave Yorkville on account Of inability
to secure a full company, thirty eight
men being the requisite. -,
Several members Of the company
were detailed to go out and secure men
to fill In, and a few members who had
declined to go on the encampment
were pressed into service.
Capt. Paul N Moore was unable to
go with the company for business rea-
sons, and the men are in charge OF
First Lieut.. Bert F. Smith. The COM
pany left little late on account Of the
trouble in getting the required num-
ber. 1t was announced that they would
leave Yorkville at $40, and at that
hour the train carrying companies
from Fort Mill and Rock Hill arrived
It was held In Yorkville until nearly
II o'clock when the local company
was ready for departure.
The following officers and men COM
posed the Yorkville company:
Smith, Capt, Walker, Lieut.; Cam
eron, Sergt.; Rose, Quartermaster
Sergt.; Thos. Quinn, Bugler; Allein
clerk. Privates-Querry, ]. I. Brandon

electric fans, and is selling a good
many.
Mr.. Paul G. McCorkle Is the de-
liighted recipient of a handsome and
expensive Victrola graphophone, sent
by friends who preferred not to dis
close their identity. AS Mr.. McCorkle
has always been, and still is, passion
ately fond of music, it is needless to say
that the people who made this selec-
ton would have found 1t exceedingly
difficult to have sent anything that
would have proved more acceptable.
Watermelons are becoming quite
plentiful in Yorkville. There have
been a number of wagon loads Of the
fruit on the streets the past few days,
and with the increase Of the supply,
there has been a material decrease in
the price Tomatoes are still scarce and
local boarding house people as well as
private houses are on the lookout for
all to be had.
II am here to testify that advertis-
ing pays" said Mr.. c. F. Sherer to The
Enquirer on Wednesday. You know I
advertised that 1 wanted to sell pair
Of mules or trade them for cheap
horse. There were two inquiries, and
the second resulted in a trade with a
gentleman that see almost every day;
but who I would never have thought
of approaching on the subject. The
trade was entirely satisfactory to both
parties, and am still on hand with my
original proposition"
The Nicely Cotton mill has sus-
pened operation until Monday, in or
der to do some much needed cleaning
up and repair work. Several operatives
of the mill went on the encampment of
the First regiment to Anderson. The
Victor Cotton Oil mill people have also
been putting in the greater part Of the
summer cleaning up machinery and
getting things in shape for work this
fall.

On it's face, that idea of putting q
stop to further eastern encroachment

on-cotton growing strip one hundred
miles wide through Alabama and to
the northward. looks very good; but
how it will work out in practice is not
so sure. Soon after the boil weeVil be-
gan to make himself heard, seen and
felt in Texas, to an extent that alarm
ed all the other cotton growing states,
experts laid down the proposition tina
there was no danger of spread beyond
the Mississippi river. But this turned
out to be a mistake. AS soon as the
weevil was due to appear on the cas-
tern bank of the Mississippi he ap-
peared, and there is reason to believe
that he will continue to come east al
his regulation pace, whether the !
mile strip is established or not OF
course it is understood that if an ef-
fort is made to stop cotton growing in
this proposed 100 mile strip, the land
owners concerned must be taken care
of at a pretty expensive rate. The
government can do no more nor less
than to save them whole" and i'm this
saving whole process, many a land
owner will come in for more than he
would have made had his cotton grow
ing not been interfered with. But that
is not the worst of it. The chances are
that after millions of dollars have been
spent, the boil weevil will make his APP
pearance on the east side of the line.

The railroads have Joined in the
fight against Postmaster General Bur-
leson's order reducing parcels post
rates. Their protest is based on the
fact that they receive half the amount
that is paid for express, and the result
of the proposed reduction of parcels
post rates would take s15,000,000 OF
$40, 100000 a year away from the rail-
road receipts. But the thing that wor-
ries us is why should the people of the
country be required to pay two OF
three times the cost of carrying their
packages? If the government Is pay

The coming Filbert picnic is being

There is strip Of territory several
miles in width running from Bowling
Green to the west of Glover in through
the Cotton Belt section that has been
having very good seasons.
The consolidated school system with
free transportation to the children is
working very nicely in different parts
of the state, and It could be developed
in York county.

He courts the light. He dares all and
sundry to put him to the test. This is
what I OFFER" he says In effect. Can
you beat It? Can you do better else
where? Make comparisons and then
do business with me only If you find 1t
is to your advantage" There Is Moth
ing hidden about the advertiser. He
stands UP for himself, for his goods,
for his reputation, for his town. He
wants everybody to know him, to know
his methods Of business and his man
ner Of treating customers. This makes
II safe to do business with him. Hay-
ing spent much money making his
name known, he cannot afford to have
It tarnished, and he will go much
more than halfway in an effort to cor
rect a misunderstanding that is not Of
his making. He wants to tell more
than the bare truth, to do more than
what is really square. Deal with ad-
vertisers for square deal.
There are probably as many as five
hundred unregistered people in York
county who are entitled to register.
There may be more and there may be
less; but less, we think, rather than
more Some Of these, most Of them. In
fact, have failed to register through
indifference and neglect; but some
have neglected the matter deliberately,
because among other things, 1t keeps
their names out of the jury box. There
is nothing in the law to make a man
register, and in the case of those who
simply won't register, there Is nothing
to be done. Good citizens, however,
who have themselves been duly regis
tered, can very we'll afford to employ
their time locating other citizens who
have neglected this important matter
so far and persuading them to do their
duty. Every citizen who is entitled to
register; but who has not yet done so.
should secure a registration certificate
without delay.

London, July "a: Without de-
claring war, and apparently trusting
that the jealousies Of the powers will
prevent European interference, Turk
ey has begun an invasion of Bulgaria.
The Turks have occupied and burned
the villages on the Jamboli road and
1t is reported have pushed their re-
connaissance to Philippopolis. No in
formation has been received as to the
strength Of the forces that have
crossed the frontier. Probably they
are only comparatively small bodies
Of Enver Bey's cavalry. Some skirm-
ishes have occurred on the frontier.
but seemingly the Bulgarians have
offered no serious resistance. In
Vienna 1t Is reported that the Turks
have crossed the Bulgarian frontier
in three places, by the Martha and
Lundja Valleys, as well as in the di-
rection, Of Jamboli. King Ferdinand
of Bulgaria, has protested to the
powers and appealed for European
Intervention, but there Is no sign that
Europe will act. Both Greece and
Servia are throwing obstacles In the
way Of an armistice, while pushing
their attacks in the direction Of Sofia.
It Is reported Rumania has notified
Servia and Greece that IL thay con-
tinue their advance, the Rumanian
army will be ordered to Sofia first.

We are unable to see anything
wrong with Congressman Ragsdale's
amendment to the currency bill. On
the contrary we think 1t is exactly the
right thing. The wealth Of this coun-
try has been built on cotton mainly,
and most of the tremendous fortunes,
even the so-called money trust, have
grown up directly or indirectly out of
manipulation of the sweat of the cot
ton producers brow. According to our
view of it, Mr.. Ragsdale's amendment
Is calculated to shift the burden some-
what, and the general result would be
in keeping with the principles of eter-
nal justice. Why not give some ad-
vantage to the cotton producer direct,
rather than through others several
times removed from the toll, risk and
anxiety that he has to bear?

Since the Taft neutrality proclama-
ton went into effect, it has been law
full to ship munitions of war from the
United States to the regularly consti-
tuted authorities; but not to the revo-
lutionists. The Madero government was
entitled to ship all the arms it wanted
from this country, and the Huerta gov
ernment has been doing the same
thing, Notwithstanding the fact that 1t
has no recognition at the hands Of the
Washington government. The constitu-
tionalists have been complaining at
this state of affairs. They deny most
emphatically that Huerta has any
claim to recognition, and that they
could easily lick him If they could only
get sufficient arms. The Washington
government, after much consideration
Of the question, seems to have about
decided that the best thing is to stop
the shipment of arms into Mexico al
together.
